Chapter 5 Chapter 5 The Great Controversy

After a wave of ups and downs, Wang Guangming put down his busy work and devoted himself to solving the case of assassinating Geng Zhi. In the town hospital, after repeated investigations, it was difficult to find any clues of criminals committing crimes. This town hospital is located at the junction of three counties. It is no less than any county hospital in terms of scale and technical strength. It usually has a lot of patients. In such a public place, it is difficult to find any suspicious signs, but according to eyewitnesses, a big man stabbed Geng Zhi twice with a dagger and fled from the open window on the left side of the lobby on the first floor. Wang Guangming discovered that someone had indeed jumped over the window and left fresh handprints and footprints, especially the deep footprints on the ground outside.Judging from the footprints, the footprints were left by Nike shoes. The size of the shoes was 48 after measurement. The soles of the shoes left a clear and recognizable word AVAI. The footprints continued until the main road more than 500 meters away before disappearing.

Geng Zhi is still in a coma, so he can't know the situation at that time, especially why he let that young man help him away!The Public Security Bureau took fingerprints and footprints and returned to the bureau immediately.Wang Guangming instructed to investigate this kind of Nike shoes first.According to the survey, most of these Nike shoes are sold on sports counters and are mainly worn by athletes.In this way, the target is further narrowed.The investigators further found out from the Sports Bureau that the county has issued more than 600 pairs of Nike shoes to male athletes in the past five years, and only 22 pairs of this size 48.From the analysis of Nike shoes in size 48, this tall man should be over 1.9 meters.The target is getting smaller and smaller. After 24 hours, Wang Guangming is slowly shrinking the net in his hand.At this moment, Qiu Yaohe called and asked how the investigation was progressing, and why there were rumors everywhere that the case had been solved.Wang Guangming said: "Secretary Qiu, there is a third eye watching our every move now, and I just want to report to you." Putting down the phone, Wang Guangming quietly went out the back door and got into a small car in plain clothes. Come see Qiu Yaohe.

As soon as we met, Wang Guangming said: "Secretary Qiu, our opponent is very powerful and sophisticated, and our anti-investigation methods are also extraordinary. I am now adopting a policy of 'relaxing from the outside and tightening from the inside'. I can report to you on the phone, but I'm worried that someone will tap my phone." "I have already noticed that this is not a simple criminal murder case, or the corruption of a certain cadre, but a powerful gang!" Qiu Yaohe said. Wang Guangming nodded and said, "Secretary Qiu, your judgment is very correct. This invisible force may be around us!"

Qiu Yaohe nodded, and thought for a long time: "Guangming, some things are simply unbelievable. The facts in front of us seem to happen in movies and TV. Things are really complicated!" "Secretary Qiu, in fact, it is very simple to say, but our country is gradually moving towards the rule of law, and we must handle cases seriously. Without definite evidence, we cannot arrest people. Suspicion is just suspicion!" Wang Guangming said implicitly and deeply. "Guangming, I know what you mean," Qiu Yaohe said thoughtfully, "Kidnapping Zhou Ying, assassinating Geng Zhi, their backstage seems to be standing in front of us."

Wang Guangming smiled slightly: "Secretary Qiu, you can be the head of the Provincial Public Security Bureau!" "Hey, Wang Guangming has also learned to flatter and flatter people!" Qiu Yaohe laughed, "It seems that flattering and flattering are still effective. Knowing that there is moisture, the listener still feels comfortable. But people still have to learn It’s the right way, you can’t learn to be bad.” Qiu Yaohe patted Wang Guangming on the shoulder and said, “It’s called red if you get close to vermilion, black if you get close to ink!” "Secretary Qiu has flattered me. At best, I can only be regarded as a third-rate public security bureau chief." Wang Guangming said, "I think a cadre can improve his professional level. The key is morality and conscience, plus understanding. With this Only the three can make a good official."

"I very much agree with you," Qiu Yaohe said, "To be a good official, you must first be a good person. How can a person who can't even be a good person be a good official? Those who are corrupt, corrupt, and depraved, their Where is the moral level, where is their conscience?" "Secretary Qiu," Wang Guangming looked at Qiu Yaohe and said with a bit of shyness on his face, "Don't criticize me for bragging. In all fairness, during the short time I've been with you, I admire your official virtue, and even more so. I admire your character, there are really not many officials like you in the officialdom, and there are many people with conscience like you, but these people can't be officials!"

"Guangming, in the current society, there are many people who want to be an official, and they even buy or run for an official at all costs. This is the product of the market economy and the commodity economy, so the officialdom is naturally mixed." Qiu Yao He thought for a while and said, "I firmly believe that with the continuous establishment of various systems, the rule of law in our country will also be continuously improved, and the problems that arise in a specific era will continue to disappear." "Secretary Qiu, tell me," Wang Guangming said, "in a county, the personal quality of the county party secretary determines the political and economic development of the area. There is a popular saying among the people here, which is called 'the secretary is transferred, and the water conservancy is reorganized', which means It is said that the secretary of the party committee of a township has been transferred, and a new secretary will re-establish the original water conservancy!"

"Look, Guangming, the two of us said that we are digressing." Qiu Yaohe said with a smile, "We will find time to discuss this issue in the future. I think this is a serious and profound issue of 'rule of man' and 'rule of law'. Now Let’s go back to the straightforward case.” Wang Guangming took the topic and said: "Secretary Qiu, I think you and I have our own ideas about the cases of Geng Zhi and Zhou Ying. Although reasoning cannot replace the truth, many important cases rely on reasoning to reach conclusions. "Wang Guangming looked at Qiu Yaohe, hesitated for a while, and said, "We both wrote down our inferences on a note and handed it to each other, so we can see each other's inferences."

"What a Wang Guangming, you are testing me!" Qiu Yaohe said, "I agree with your suggestion, I think the honest assassination and Zhou Ying's kidnapping case may be instigated by the same person behind the two incidents, or in other words It is called Heart K in the circle. This person is neither preserved egg nor Ace of Hearts." Qiu Yaohe looked at Wang Guangming, and after a while, he continued, "Well, let's guess who this Heart K is. , what do you mean?" "Secretary Qiu's conjecture is consistent with my thoughts. This King of Hearts keeps surfacing, but I feel that King of Hearts is a veteran with rich anti-investigation methods." Wang Guangming wrote in his notebook casually. .

Qiu Yaohe said: "We only write the last word of this person's name." He wrote a word on the small letterhead, folded it and put it in front of Wang Guangming.Wang Guangming tore off the notebook and handed it to Qiu Yaohe. At this time, Wang Guangming's cell phone rang, and he looked at the number: "Hello!...Oh, it's the Standing Committee of Jiang! Meeting? What time? OK, OK!" Wang Guangming turned off the phone, "Secretary Qiu, the Standing Committee of Jiang informed the political and legal session in the afternoon. System owner meeting." Qiu Yaohe said: "This is a matter within the scope of other people's authority." Qiu Yaohe and Wang Guangming opened the note in front of them at the same time. : "Our reasoning is exactly the same, good!"

Just as Wang Guangming stood up, the phone rang again: "Hey, Lin Yang... oh... strict control, where are you? Okay, I'll be right there!" "Secretary Qiu, Lin Yang called and said that the big man wearing Nike shoes in size 48 is now driving towards the provincial capital in a Honda car." Wang Guangming said and was about to go downstairs. "Okay, bite him tightly and see what he is doing?" Qiu Yaohe said, "Guangming, then hurry up!" Two police cars roared and rushed on the expressway. Wang Guangming sat in the car behind, and Lin Yang's voice came from the intercom from time to time: "No. 01, the target has exceeded 235 kilometers, and I am 200 meters in front of him. The target doesn't seem to have spotted us yet,..." "No. 01 understands, where is No. 08?..." Wang Guangming asked loudly. "No. 08 answered and reported No. 01. No. 08 was keeping a close eye on the target, about 500 meters away." "No. 01 understands, we must hold on to the target, and we can get closer." Wang Guangming looked at the odometer in front of the driver, "Speed ​​up!" About an hour later, the Honda car suddenly turned right off the expressway. Lin Yang noticed that the target had disappeared suddenly, and ordered the car to slow down and pull over. Then, No. 08 rushed to the corner, and at this moment a large truck drove towards him Come on, turn off the fire in the middle of the road. Car No. 08 almost collided with a large cargo. The driver and the deputy director Xu Lin got out of the car at the same time, and the driver was so angry that he scolded his mother.Without any hesitation, Xu Lin stepped forward to pull down the driver of the truck, got into the cab, and started it repeatedly, but the car did not respond at all.When everyone was getting angry, a police car came from behind. Xu Lin went forward and showed his ID, and discussed supporting them in chasing the fugitives, and offered to exchange cars, otherwise their cars would also be blocked by large trucks and they would not be able to get on the highway. After the two sides exchanged police cars, Xu Lin and the others turned around and quickly chased after them.When Lin Yang returned to the corner, he found a large truck blocking the way, so he immediately repaired the large truck, and finally pulled the large truck aside.At this time, car No. 01 has arrived. Lin Yang asked: "No. 03, No. 03, where are you, did you find the target!" "No. 01, No. 05, I'm No. 03, we haven't found the target yet, you guys catch up as soon as possible." The Honda car was bumping on the gravel road in the countryside, when suddenly a van stopped in front, the Honda car rolled down the rear window and cursed loudly: "Fuck you, you are looking for death!" At this time, four armed policemen got on and off the van. The tall man on the Honda saw that something was wrong, opened the door suddenly, held a pistol, and rushed into the houses on the side of the road. Two armed policemen chased after them and blocked the doorway. Two armed police escorted the driver of the Honda into the van. Car No. 03 arrived, and Xu Lin commanded armed police soldiers to surround the houses. Xu Lin immediately inspected the private house. It was an old tile-roofed house with three rooms, and he didn't know who else was inside.Xu Lin immediately shouted: "People in the house listen, who are you, come out quickly." "Comrade police, we are ordinary people, we have not violated the law!" A man's voice came from the room. "Fellow townsman, come out! We are not against you!" Xu Lin shouted, "Don't be afraid, we will be the police in case of any situation!" "Let's go!..." The room was quiet for a while, and a woman's voice came out again, "No!...No..." When Wang Guangming and Lin Yang arrived at the scene, the two sides were still at a stalemate. Xu Lin proposed to take two people into the house and arrest the criminals by force. Wang Guangming was afraid that the murderer would hurt the fellow villagers in the house.Lin Yang proposed to use the method of entrapment, wearing a police uniform and a police cap on a tied frame, and thrusting a bamboo pole into the house from a distance. The other party must think it is a person and must shoot with a pistol. At this time, the policeman hiding at the door rushed Entering the house, the guy must be at a loss, as long as four people enter, they will be able to capture them.Wang Guangming thought about it and agreed to give it a try. After a period of cold war between the two sides, Lin Yang finished the preparations. He led four armed policemen and quickly hid at the door of the house. At this time, Wang Guangming began to shout, Lin Yang suddenly kicked the door open, and Xu Lin suddenly tied up the fake armed policemen. Pushing to the door, there were indeed two gunshots. It was too late to say it, but it was so fast. As soon as the gunshot rang, the four people hiding at the door rushed into the room like flying. The big man hadn't reacted yet, and the four The armed police had already knocked him to the ground and grabbed the pistol. Before he could resist, he was handcuffed. On the way back, Wang Guangming reported to Qiu Yaohe that he had captured the big man.Afterwards, he didn't even bother to eat lunch, so he went straight to the office of the County Political and Legal Committee for a meeting. As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Kaisheng's face was ashen and murderous. In this small conference room, the top leaders of the court, procuratorate, and judicial bureau had all arrived, except for Wang Guangming.Seeing Wang Guangming, Jiang Kaisheng slapped the table and yelled loudly, "Wang Guangming, you are 40 minutes late. According to the rules set by Qiu Yao and the secretary, you should stand outside and listen to the meeting. Go to the Commission for Discipline Inspection to pay the fine tomorrow." Wang Guangming blushed with anger and said, "I..." Jiang Kaisheng interrupted him: "I won't listen to your explanation, we're having a meeting now, you just stand and listen!" Then Jiang Kaisheng asked Wang Guangming to report on the investigation of the murder of Zhou Ying and the case of honesty.Wang Guangming knew that he was bluffing, and wanted to use this legal method to grasp his progress on these two matters.Wang Guangming's reports were all in the air, without any meaning at all, which made Jiang Kaisheng even more furious.At this moment, Jiang Kaisheng's cell phone rang. He checked the number and left the meeting room in horror. Just as he was going out, he heard him say: "What are you doing, you bastard... Where are you?..." Then he turned around in a panic and said, "The meeting is over!" Geng Zhi was in a coma for more than 20 hours and gradually regained consciousness. Qin Jia asked him who was the young man who helped him when he went to the toilet. Geng Zhi said it was his cousin Zhang Hua.At that time, Zhang Hua said that his father, the honest uncle, came to see him. There were armed police guards here, so it was inconvenient, so he took him downstairs. He never expected a big man to jump out and stab him.When Qin Jia asked him how did Zhang Hua know that he lived in this town hospital?He honestly said he didn't know.Qin Jia immediately reported this important information to Wang Guangming. Afterwards, while Wang Guangming deployed forces to capture Zhang Hua, he prepared to interrogate the big man. At 7 o'clock in the evening, Wang Guangming called Qiu Yaohe and said that there was an important situation to report.Wang Guangming came to Qiu Yaohe's office. He analyzed the mysterious phone call that Jiang Kaisheng received suddenly during the meeting in the afternoon, and raised bold doubts. He said that he had sent someone to secretly follow the King of Hearts.At this moment, Wang Guangming's cell phone rang, and the other party said, "Director Wang, Heart K is driving to the southwest by himself!" Wang Guangming said: "Follow him, be careful not to let him suspect that someone is following him!" Wang Guangming turned off his mobile phone and said: "According to my analysis, the call in the afternoon might have been to report the news that the big man was arrested by us, so he was so panicked that the meeting ended without saying anything." Wang Guangming thought for a while. He also said, "Now he can't wait to drive to the southwest, there are two possibilities, one is to find the Ace of Hearts, of course this is our assumption, and the other is to meet someone urgently." "Guangming, your analysis makes sense." Qiu Yaohe said, "I'm also thinking that if you move him, it's not your job as the county police chief, but he is a deputy county-level leading cadre, and you have to report It belongs to the municipal committee, and we can’t just report it to the municipal committee without any definite evidence.” "Secretary Qiu, don't worry," Wang Guangming said, "I will grasp these policies. Unless we catch the scene on the spot, we will report first after obtaining the evidence." At this time, the phone on Qiu Yaohe's desk rang, and when he answered the phone, it turned out to be Li Xiaodong, the vice president of the court: "Secretary Qiu, I want to report the case of honesty to you!" Qiu Yaohe said: "Is it true? Already figured it out?" Li Xiaodong said: "Actually, this case is very clear. Anyone with a little legal knowledge will find that there are many loopholes in the materials." Qiu Yaohe said: "Okay then, you bring the file and come to my office." Putting down the phone, Qiu Yaohe said: "Guangming, listen to it too! The truth about Geng Zhi's case will soon be revealed. Listening to it may help in the next step in solving the series of cases of kidnapping Zhou Ying and killing Geng Zhi." Qiu Yaohe picked up the phone again: "Hello, Secretary Wang? I'm Qiu Yaohe. Please come over to my office. Li Xiaodong from the court will report the honest case right away." Li Xiaodong and a female judge came.Qiu Yaohe said: "The case of Geng Zhi taking bribes has a great influence on the whole county, and some accidents occurred around this case. Geng Zhi's wife sacrificed her young life for justice, and Geng Zhi was assassinated in the hospital. Although he was rescued temporarily, But it’s not out of danger yet.” Qiu Yaohe looked at the people present and said, “Comrade Li Xiaodong is very responsible in his work, he took over this case and investigated it very quickly, now I ask Comrade Li Xiaodong to report.” Li Xiaodong didn't open the file or read his notes. He said, "I've heard about the bribery case of honesty and integrity in the past, but I haven't had any contact with it. There are many loopholes." Li Xiaodong paused, and then said: "First of all, whether the 100,000 yuan is still in the hands of Geng Zhi, the entire file can not find a clear conclusion. In addition, we found the owner of the real estate company Mr. You and his family. None of the main relatives admitted to sending 100,000 yuan to Geng Zhi. However, a person named You Kang wrote a certificate in the file, saying that he gave 100,000 yuan to Geng Zhi on a certain night of a certain month. But we still can't find You Kang, it turns out that this is a fake certificate." Li Xiaoming flipped through the file, and continued: "Based on these doubts, we conducted some key investigations. First, we contacted the client, Manager You, who denied that his family had bribed Geng Zhi with 100,000 yuan. The person who brought Geng Zhi that night , and the whereabouts of those who drank. Therefore, the case of honesty and bribery cannot be established. For this reason..." Li Xiaodong looked at Qiu Yaohe, and then said, "For this reason, the conclusion of our county court is that : There is insufficient evidence in the bribery case of Geng Zhi, the original judgment is revoked, and Geng Zhi is declared innocent!" Qiu Yaohe looked at Li Xiaodong, moved his eyes to Wang Yihe and Wang Guangming, stood up from his seat, and said, "In our country's legal system is still not perfect, such a big injustice was artificially created, and the honesty is deeply regrettable to us. Lesson, now you should seize the time to announce the report within a certain range according to the regulations, and at the same time write something in writing, report to the Intermediate Court, the County Political and Legal Committee, and the Standing Committee of the County People's Congress. At the same time, you must be responsible for honesty. After such a long time, there must be an explanation for the mental, economic, and physical damage, and the wife lost her life because of this, and there must be an explanation." Qiu Yaohe walked in front of Wang Yihe, "Old Wang, Regarding the matter of honesty, your Disciplinary Committee and the Public Security Bureau must actively cooperate with the court to deal with the aftermath.” Qiu Yaohe turned to Wang Guangming and said, “Now that Gengzhi is not out of danger, the Public Security Bureau must continue to do a good job in security work. If there is any accident. Once Geng Zhi is acquitted and released, those who framed him will probably be even more panicked, and they will definitely think of various ways to kill people, I think Geng Zhi will focus on protecting him for a while." Wang Guangming interrogated the big man wearing size 48 Nike shoes overnight.It has been confirmed that his name is Wang Xiaosi. He lost his parents since he was a child. He loved sports since he was a child. Because he played basketball all day, he messed around in society before graduating from junior high school. His basketball level is not high, and he often hangs out with some dubious people. mix.According to Wang Xiaosi, 3 days ago, a person who usually called himself Boss Tie went to him and promised to give him 30,000 yuan, 10,000 first, and 20,000 after the task was completed, and told him to kill Geng Zhi. After analysis, Wang Guangming determined that the Iron Boss had surfaced.Just when Wang Guangming decided to arrest Boss Tie, Shang Yimin called and said that they had arrested Zhang Hua. After Zhang Hua was arrested, he was so scared that he peed his pants and cried when he saw the police officers. According to his account, after graduating from junior high school, he did not pass the high school entrance examination, nor did he have a proper job. In the first two years, he found a job in a chemical fertilizer factory for him. The fertilizer factory stopped production, and after being laid off, he went to fool around in the society again.Two days ago, someone suddenly invited him to a restaurant for a big meal. Later, the iron boss gave him 3,000 yuan and told him to go to the town hospital to bring Geng Zhi out and say a few words, and explain how he said it.Zhang Hua didn't know what conspiracy was involved. When he was helping Geng Zhi to go downstairs, he suddenly found a tall man stabbing Geng Zhi. Zhang Hua didn't know what happened, so he rushed to grab the dagger from the big man. The big man didn't care about Zhang Hua, relying on his stature, he pushed Zhang Hua away and stabbed Geng Zhi in the left chest, Zhang Hua fought the big man desperately again.The big man was afraid of causing trouble and couldn't get away, so he ran away quickly. Zhang Hua was afraid that others would misunderstand that he was the one who was stabbed, so he ran away in fright. Wang Guangming still has no way of knowing who is instigating behind the scenes. Only by catching the iron boss can he further understand the instigator behind the scenes. At this time, Wang Guangming suddenly received a call saying that the K of Hearts had disappeared in the urban area. At that time, Wang Guangming blushed and said loudly, "What are you doing?" "Director Wang, after we entered the city, we followed the black red flag car closely, but after turning two corners in the urban area, the red flag car suddenly stopped in front of a building in the urban area, and we also stopped in front of a building in the urban area. Stopped in the distance, and after a while, a man and a woman got off the red flag car, we followed up and saw that man was a strange face, we were all dumbfounded at the time." Wang Guangming didn't let the other party go on, "Okay, let's end this matter here!" The next morning, Qi Minglian, the vice chairman of the county CPPCC and director of the county food bureau, came to Qiu Yaohe's office, "Secretary Qiu, I have a report for you. thing……" Qiu Yaohe was reviewing the documents without raising his head. Qi Minglian stood across from his desk, feeling a little embarrassed. After a while, Qiu Yaohe said, "What's the matter? Tell me!" He continued with his head down. Review documents. "About the deduction of workers' wages for road construction..." Qi Minglian didn't continue, his eyes stopped on Qiu Yaohe.Qiu Yaohe put down the pen in his hand, raised his head, looked at Qi Minglian and said, "Go ahead, what's the matter?" Qi Minglian smiled slightly, and then withdrew his smile again, but he avoided Qiu Yaohe's gaze and said, "Everyone has a lot of opinions. The food system is no longer as brilliant as it was in the planned economy in the past. 10%-20% of wages are deducted. Everyone I think it's too much." Qi Minglian shifted his gaze to Qiu Yaohe, and said with a smile, "Especially the retirees, they firmly don't agree to deduct money!" Qiu Yao and the pen in his hand kept shaking, and the speed was getting faster and faster. When his gaze met Qi Minglian, a sword-like light shot at Qi Minglian. For some reason, Qi Minglian felt a wave of fear, and his whole body trembled. "Aren't you very prestigious in the food system?" Qiu Yaohe looked at Qi Minglian intently, "I'm afraid your thinking is not clear!" After a pause, "How many people are there in the food bureau? There are two tables for the Eight Immortals table? I heard you called yourself the 'Political Bureau', 'Secretariat'!?" Qi Minglian only felt that his back was sweating, and he was at a loss for a moment.He did say this, and it's not just about the food system, anyone in the county government, townships or towns knows who can curry favor with Chairman Qi, and it's just a matter of words to want to be the deputy director.Sometimes when he thinks about it, even he himself finds it funny that there are actually 16 directors and deputy directors in a county grain bureau, accompanied by visitors, and two tables full of his own leaders alone!Two directors of grain management offices in townships found him through their connections, and soon became deputy directors as they wished, and even the driver of his car became deputy director.This has to make many people drool. Qi Minglian came back to reality from deep thinking, saw Qiu Yaohe's serious face, and not only shivered in his heart: "Secretary Qiu, you are wrong to blame me, anyway, I am also the leader of the fourth team, I How can you not be consistent with the main leaders of the county party committee?" "Old Qi, I have no choice but to do this!" Qiu Yaohe said, "Shiyang is a big and poor county with a population of more than 1.5 million. If we don't solve the traffic problem, when will we get rich? To solve the traffic problem, let It is impossible for the country to spend so much money. I mobilize everyone, which mainly refers to the people who are financially supported, and the common people support us. Why can’t we make some sacrifices? I see a staff member with a salary of 800 yuan per month. 80-100 yuan, how much can it affect his life? Everyone mobilized and did good deeds, and the people of Shiyang will never forget them for generations. If you act, you won’t be able to figure it out.” "Everyone understands the truth, but..." Qi Minglian lowered his head in embarrassment. "There is work to be done." Qiu Yaohe said, "Ideological work has to be done, but wages have to be deducted, and road construction must be carried out as scheduled. Let me tell you, our Chairman Qi and Director Qi, this is called implementation after thinking through it." , If you can’t figure it out, you have to implement it.” The phone rang, and Qiu Yaohe picked it up: "Hello..." Qiu Yaohe's face suddenly fell, "Any unit, any individual must resolutely implement the resolution of the county party committee and county government. If any unit cannot implement it, the county party committee We can only reconsider whether the main leaders can do it again. I believe that a large county with a population of more than 1.5 million must have such leaders who support the work of the county party committee..." Qiu Yaohe put down the phone, looked at Qi Minglian and said, "Go back and think about it! If you figure it out, follow the resolutions of the county party committee and the county government. manage!" Qi Minglian knew very well what Secretary Qiu meant, so he withdrew knowingly. The county party committee decided to raise funds to build roads. Not only the county leaders like Jiang Kaisheng were resistant, many units raised difficulties, some teachers and cadres wrote to Qiu Yaohe, and some retired cadres directly rushed to the county party committee office to question Qiu Yaohe. Why deduct their money to build roads.Qiu Yaohe seriously criticized the leaders of the relevant units, but for such letters from the masses and questions from veteran cadres, he could only patiently and meticulously persuade and explain.However, nothing could shake his determination to forcibly deduct wages from the county's financial staff to build roads.In his opinion, if we want to repair 400 kilometers of asphalt roads, 150 kilometers of cement roads, and more than 1,400 kilometers of gravel roads in the county, we have to pay for it, otherwise there is no good way.He will never forget that one day not long after he came to Shiyang, it was raining heavily, and there was a vast ocean everywhere, and the car could not enter the village, so they waited at the entrance of the village for the rain to stop before leaving.Qiu Yaohe saw an old woman selling tea eggs on the side of the road, so she stepped forward and asked, "Why don't you go to the county town to sell it, the price will be higher there." The aunt said, "It's too inconvenient to go to the county town, okay When the egg reaches the county, it becomes a bad egg." At that time, Qiu Yaohe was deeply touched, no wonder everyone said "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads." This morning, Qiu Yaohe was on his way to work when his cell phone rang, and he answered the phone: "Hello...what's the matter..." It turned out to be the call from Liu Yexuan, the director of the county party committee office: "Secretary Qiu, there is someone at the gate of the county government Posted a cartoon..." Qiu Yaohe said: "Don't move, I'll be right there." Qiu Yaohe rushed to see that it was a cartoon drawn on a blank sheet of paper. It showed a man in a suit and leather shoes, striding forward in shorts with a slit in his crotch.It wrote next to it: "Qiu Yaohe wants to engage in political achievement projects, take out the money of the common people, and put gold on his face." There are more and more people watching around, some pointing fingers, some laughing and sarcasm.Liu Yexuan ordered people to tear up the big-character posters, but Qiu Yaohe stopped them from tearing up the cartoons. The next morning, Fan Yiqiang, director of the Education Bureau, called: "Secretary Qiu, two batches of teachers from the Education Bureau have come to petition..." "Why?" "It's all because of wage deductions!" "We must explain patiently and meticulously to everyone." Qiu Yaohe thought for a while and then said, "Your bureau leaders and middle-level cadres must go down to do propaganda and explaining work." "Secretary Qiu, it's useless," Fan Yiqiang said in embarrassment. "Now the Education Bureau is full of petitioning teachers. When they come to the county, they even stop the students' classes. If this continues, the impact will be great!" Qiu Yaohe said: "Okay! I'll go there right away." Qiu Yaohe put down the phone and rushed to the Education Bureau.As soon as I got off the bus, I received a call from the city government. It turned out that more than 20 middle school teachers from two townships in Shiyang County had collectively gone to the City Letters and Calls Bureau to appeal.Resolutely resist the deduction of their wages.Qiu Yaohe immediately called the deputy county magistrate Xu Shouchun to take the person in charge of the County Letters and Calls Bureau to the city hall. Finally, these petitioning teachers were mobilized back. Only one day later, the South China Weekly, the most influential newspaper in the South, reported on the Shiyang County teachers’ petition and distributed photos. Meanwhile, road construction in Shiyang County has already started.The first is to renovate and pave the 205 National Highway and the road from Shiyang to Yizhou. The 205 National Highway is the traffic artery running through Shiyang County, and Shiyi Road is the traffic artery from Shiyang County to the newly built urban area. The matter of the Shiyang County teacher’s petition was quickly reported to the provincial and municipal leaders. "South China Weekly" is a newspaper with great influence in the country. Adding fuel to the fire, a provincial and municipal joint investigation team was quickly organized.Subsequently, an investigation team was formed with Wei Bin, deputy director of the Policy Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee, as the team leader, and Huang Puren, the deputy mayor, as the deputy team leader.When the investigation team was about to leave, there was an important meeting of the Provincial Party Committee and Wei Bin was left behind. The provincial and municipal investigation team decided that Huang Puren's deputy team leader would be fully responsible for the investigation. When the provincial and municipal investigation team left the urban area, it was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Not long after the van drove out, it began to rain continuously, and when it approached Shiyang County, the sky was already gloomy and gloomy.At that time, the main person in charge of the municipal party committee said that the investigation team would spend the night in the city, but as soon as the Huangpu people finished the meeting, they insisted on going to Shiyang. I am so interested in the issue of workers' wages for road construction.He has been in power in Shi Yang for 5 years, and he has just left office for more than half a year. Although he was promoted to deputy mayor, he seems to have left Shi Yang for half a century.In fact, his wife still lives in Shiyang, or he will return to this land every weekend.But now, his state of mind is completely different. Now he is not only a superior leader, but also has the condescending feeling of the imperial envoy. The Huangpu people were sitting in an imported bullet van, with Yu Dajiang, Director of the Provincial Education Commission sitting beside him, and behind him were two young people from the Municipal Education Bureau and the Municipal Government. As soon as the bullet van entered Shiyang City, his cell phone rang, and the Huangpu people answered the call. It was Gu Ping, the director of the county government office: "Mayor Huang, where are you now?" "It's here, it's here, it'll be here soon!" the Huangpu man said excitedly. "Please go directly to Shiyang Hotel! We are waiting!" Gu Ping said. The rain was still falling, and the patter was getting heavier, and the bullet van slowly turned into the hotel.Everything is so kind and familiar. This place used to be the place where he received many leaders from his superiors. He had been brilliant and confident, but now the familiar and familiar feeling disappeared like quicksilver on the ground.The Huangpu people walked into the lobby of Building No. 1 with unhurried steps. The person who greeted him was Pu Xiuda, the county magistrate, followed by Gu Ping, the director of the office.When Pu Xiuda stretched out his hand, he was not as old-fashioned and stubborn as in the officialdom. He was dressed casually and had a wretched expression, like a farmer who went to work in the city.After everyone shook hands one by one, Huangpu felt a little unhappy when he saw no other leaders welcoming him. Along the way, he wondered more than once what he said when he met Qiu Yaohe, and he even guessed that Qiu Yaohe would definitely With a smile on his face, he kept flattering him, after all, his mission this trip was to find fault.Thinking of the night when Qiu Yaohe took office, he had no regard for favor, relationship, or influence, and canceled the reception banquet.He thought, seeing how noble you Qiu Yaohe is, could it be that today he led the provincial and municipal investigation team, and he also received dried radish with millet rice?He fully thought that Qiu Yaohe would lead the county party committee and all the leaders of the county government to make a special trip to wait for him.However, to his surprise, not only Qiu Yaohe did not appear, but also the other leaders, Jiang Kaisheng, Shu Da, and Cheng Zhengzhen also did not appear. He immediately felt a little frustrated by being left out. Gu Ping led them into the room. Naturally, the Huangpu people lived in a high-standard large suite as a provincial and municipal leader. Afterwards, Gu Ping invited the provincial and municipal investigation team to the banquet. Although the dinner table was also of a high standard, only Pu Xiuda and Gu Ping were accompanying him.And Huangpu people can't understand Pu Xiuda from the bottom of their hearts. He was not familiar with this person in the past. He came to Shiyang at the same time as Qiu Yaohe. When someone mentions being a county magistrate, he can only be a deputy township magistrate at best.As for Gu Ping, he was not interested in him when he was in Shi Yang.The original director of the government office was unable to coordinate the work because several county magistrates were unable to coordinate the work. The then county magistrate Wu told him many times that he would adjust the director of the government office, but he did not have a clear attitude.That's because he hasn't finalized the selection of the director of the government office.But county magistrate Wu followed closely, and made it clear that Gu Ping, the director of the economic reform committee, would be transferred to be the director of the county government office.Naturally, as the secretary of the county party committee, he would not easily agree to such an important personnel arrangement.But County Magistrate Wu said that he was the county magistrate, and his opinion must be respected in the selection of the office director. Later, County Magistrate Wu even became angry.People in Huangpu have always been very strict on cadres, but this Gu Ping himself has never approached him even once, which made him very unhappy. A cadre who wants to be the director of the government office does not take the secretary of the county party committee seriously.不知道顾平和吴县长之间到底是什么关系。可是皇朴人最终还是同意顾平当政府办公室主任了。皇朴人在这个问题上完全迁就了吴县长。为此，他对顾平一直是另眼看待的。顾平当上政府办公室主任之后，不知是因为他曾经一直不同意顾平当政府办主任，还是什么原因，他总感到顾平并不像其他干部那样跟得紧。有一段时间，皇朴人甚至想把他的政府办主任免掉，只是他还没来得及下手，自己先调走了。 这样的场合喝酒自然是没有气氛了，皇朴人心里不痛快，当时想打电话让蒋开盛、成正震、祁明连来热闹热闹，又觉得不妥当，宴请只好在冷冷清清的气氛中结束了。 皇朴人虽然没有兴趣喝酒，但是在心情不好的情况下，却一连喝下七八杯，现在坐在车子里，却又有些控制不住内心的兴奋。他本想打个电话把蒋开盛、成正震、祁明连都找来痛痛快快地吹一吹，可是，毕竟省市调查组还有那么几个并不十分了解的人。他取出手机，正要打电话，就在他的车子穿行在刚刚拓宽的大街上时，一辆挂着省城牌号的奥迪轿车迎面驶过来。双方雪亮的车灯像各自主人的眼睛，一下子逼向了对方，就在两车交会的瞬间，车内的主人彼此都看清了对方熟悉得不能再熟的面孔了。 并不是主人的命令，两辆车都戛然停了下来，双方停车的距离仅3米不到。皇朴人首先摇下车窗，喊了声：“哎，老裘，裘书记！”先推开车门，下了车，冒雨走上前去。 几乎在同时，裘耀和也下了车。裘耀和向前迈了两步，笑着伸出手：“朴人市长，恕我没有亲自接驾的罪过，我这是避嫌啊！你拿着尚方宝剑来查我，我理当回避！” 皇朴人礼节性地握着裘耀和的手：“裘书记，我也是没办法呀！省委非要派我来，这是费力不讨好的差事，也是得罪人的事，你可千万不要多心哟！” 裘耀和主动松开手：“朴人市长，公事公办，大家都是为工作，为石杨老百姓尽快富裕起来。”裘耀和似乎加重语气，“只要不为私利，不贪不沾，就什么也不怕！”裘耀和后面的话显然是说给皇朴人听的。可是此刻皇朴人的心里却是一股盛气凌人的滋味，脸上的表情也自然和往常大不一样。 没等皇朴人说话，裘耀和又说：“由修达县长和老顾陪你，我再三嘱咐他们，一定要安排好，接待好，你此行可是重权在握呀！” “不，不，不！”皇朴人忙说，“组长可是省委研究室的副主任韦彬，我只是跟着摇旗呐喊的！” 裘耀和站着不动，伸手抹了一下脸上的雨水，皇朴人一边回头一边说：“走，到我车上说话！” 裘耀和摆摆手，满脸笑意地说：“皇市长，你有什么就直说，这雨不大，难得这样的机会！” “算了，”皇朴人转身准备上车，“明天上午我们正式交换意见吧！” 裘耀和看着皇朴人上了车，子弹头面包车猛地加速，泥水溅起一片，裘耀和急忙往边上躲了两步，目光久久凝视着皇朴人远去的面包车。 裘耀和抹了抹脸上的雨水，抬头望着茫茫细雨的天空，一道闪电样的亮光划着凄凉的弧线，消失了。裘耀和反倒觉得几分兴奋，不知道刚才那道闪电是什么东西，当然他知道，那不可能是夏日的闪电，因为现在正是隆冬季节。觉得几分奇怪，眼前浮现出皇朴人那得意的怪笑，裘耀和抹了一把脸上的雨水，上了自己的车。 回到宿舍，裘耀和再次翻开那张特别刺眼的《华南周报》。看着看着，不知为什么他暗暗地笑了起来。他觉得自己没有什么做得不对的地方。对于石杨这个地方，过去他关注得少，大概是由于那句“不在其位不谋其政”的缘故吧！自从省委领导和他谈话之后，他一下子找来许多关于石杨县的有关资料，甚至千方百计打听了一些曾经在石杨工作过的老同志，想尽可能尽快地全面而理性地了解石杨县。石杨县占地面积达2294平方公里，150多万人口，这样一个大县财政收入却是全省排在末位的几个穷县之一！对于这样举足轻重的一个大县，多年来，省委省政府可谓用心良苦啊！在他的心里，常常回荡着省委领导和他谈话时的满腔希望，现在他认真检点一下自己到石杨半年多来的所作所为，他坚信，自己没有什么私欲，他所做的一切，只是希望尽快改变石杨贫穷落后的面貌，希望尽快让老百姓过上好日子，至于让全县那么多吃财政供养的人扣除收入的10%-20%来修路，这个决定他是经过深思熟虑的。当然他太清楚了，要从每个人工资上扣除那么多钱，这是每个人的切身利益，世界上没有一个人嫌钱多的，何况在贫穷落后的江北农村呢，人们的收入也才刚刚摆脱温饱，但是除此之外，绝对没有任何办法来解决这样一个大县穷县的交通问题。他想过，应该在集资过程中耐心地做好干部群众的思想工作，可是最近县里发生的事情太多，他还没有来得及考虑，突然间就连续发生群众上访，教师停课，以至发生《华南周报》的事，而且惊动了省委，现在省市调查组已经重兵压境。刚刚在路上和皇朴人的匆匆一见，他并没有那种自己已经被推到被告席上的感觉，相反的，他觉得自己非常坦荡，非常自信，而皇朴人总是想居高临下，以钦差巡案的身份对待他，他内心反而觉得好笑。 这时，电话响了，裘耀和拿起电话，是县委组织部长周新宇。裘耀和说：“你现在就来吧！我在宿舍里。”过了一会儿周新宇来了。 裘耀和说：“老周，我来石杨半年多了，许多工作都是在我预料之外的事，有的甚至是火烧到眉毛上了，不扑不行！”他停了停又说，“有人说我'不抓农工，不抓商，只抓四面光'，或者说我'不抓工，不抓农，专逮小爬虫'。我根本不在乎，我也想什么事也不管，把精力全部投入抓经济上去，可是，没有一个安定环境，社会治安那么混乱，能把经济搞上去吗？”裘耀和有些激动，“还有我们讨论解决全县交通问题，最后集中在钱的问题上，没有钱怎么修路，没有钱，经济怎么上去？我也知道我的这个决定在县委县政府两套班子会议上，支持我的人很少，但是我没有办法，非干不可。”裘耀和没有说下去，周新宇以为他会说省市调查组的问题，可裘耀和的话似乎没说完就戛然而止了。 周新宇说：“裘书记，省市调查组来了，你应该主动找他们把情况说清楚，许多事情都是先入为主的呀！” 裘耀和笑了笑说：“这事很简单，我也不需要主动去解释什么，如果我主动去解释，说明我们的做法有什么毛病，或者说我心虚，我等他们找我，他们不找我，我绝不会找他们的。” 周新宇笑笑，欲言又止，他知道，自己身为县委常委、组织部长本应该和县委书记步调一致的，可他觉得自己是前任县委书记皇朴人在任时调任的组织部长，虽然时间不长，但毕竟算是老班子人了。对于裘耀和的施政方略，他明显感觉到和皇朴人截然不同，裘耀和虽然来自省城，没有基层工作经验，又是书生出身，然而他的工作手段是强硬的，比如在治理社会治安，整顿县城环境，以及扣职工工资修路这些事情上，还有调换纪委书记、检察长的问题上，周新宇有时觉得自己处在尴尬的角色上，他不知道裘耀和约他要谈些什么事。 “老周，”裘耀和开腔了，“你是组织部长，是管干部的，干部当中反映的突出问题，你注意了没有？” 周新宇有些摸不着头绪，他看着裘耀和的目光立即移开了，不知道该怎么说。 “比如说，”裘耀和慢吞吞地说，“县粮食局那么多正副局长，１６个局长，群众称为'政治局'、'书记处'！” 周新宇感到脸上一阵发热，作为县委常委、组织部长，他当然有不可推卸的责任，比如祁明连的驾驶员提拔副局长一事，那就是在他手里提起来的。 “群众反映说粮食局某人都是把副局长批发过去的？”裘耀和脸上严肃起来了，“那一定是从组织部批发过去的了！” “裘书记，石杨干部超编的问题，不是一天形成的，历来如此！”周新宇说，“我当组织部长一年时间，你可以了解一下那些副科级、科级干部的任职时间就知道了。” “我并没有追究哪个人责任，”裘耀和显得有些不快，“只要其中没有奥妙，即使造成这种局面，也可以理解的。我接到不少群众来信，反映某些人的官是买的！”裘耀和的目光落在周新宇身上，周新宇一抬头，正遇上裘耀和那火辣辣的目光。 裘耀和提高声音说：“这个问题一定要解决，'政治局'要解散，'书记处'要撤销，不称职的领导要调换。今后，石杨的科级干部要逐步实行公开选拔，竞争上岗，避免干部上的暗箱操作。”裘耀和走到周新宇面前，“你作为县委组织部长应该看到，在石杨，如果没有一大批群众拥护的，全心全意为人民服务的部委办局领导和乡镇领导，石杨的经济怎么能抓上去？四个现代化如何实现？那些买来的官能为群众办事吗？或者说，他用钱买来的官，他还要用非法的手段把买官的钱再赚回来。这种吏治上的腐败必须铲除，我现在是县委书记，我在任的时候绝不允许发生这样的事。” 裘耀和的话如同锤子一样，一下又一下地敲打在周新宇的头顶上，凭他这几个月对裘耀和的了解，知道裘耀和绝不是一个言而无信的人，而是一个说到做到的人，甚至他感觉到在石杨将要发生一场难以预料的大地震。蒋开盛被免去县公安局长，郁钟被晾了起来，看来下一个必然是祁明连了。到底哪些人有问题，又有多大问题？周新宇的心里多少还是有点数的。只是下一步该怎么办？他的心里有些忐忑不安起来。 周新宇走后，时间还不到10点，裘耀和又想到耿直。耿直的案子经历了如此复杂的过程，妻子为此而献出生命，他自己也差点被杀害，现在虽然从法律上宣布他无罪，可是给他的人生、家庭造成了难以弥补的伤害却是永久的，而这个案件的背后隐藏着什么，对于裘耀和来说，一直是他非常关注的。 裘耀和几次想打电话问问汪益鹤，耿直现在怎么样了，可是又觉得时间太晚了，于是就洗了个澡，想让自己头脑放松放松，以缓解自己的烦乱思绪。他现在越来越觉得自己责任重大，尽管在许多问题的处理上非常果断，有时在处理上近乎专横跋扈，然而这些问题的处理方法，他都是在夜深人静时，甚至是躺在床上失眠时经过深思熟虑而形成的。 失眠一夜的裘耀和，第二天早上６点便起床了，多年来他已经养成习惯，无论晚上睡得多迟，或者夜里睡得多不好，他总是6点起床，在省城时混在少数锻炼身体的老人当中，而到了石杨后，他便利用早晨时间在群众当中走走。现在他仍然精神抖擞地快步走在大街上。走着走着，远远望见县政府门前围着许多人，最近一段时间，群众上访经常围在县政府大门口，只要他碰上了，他一定问个子丑寅卯，只要是能解决的，哪怕是一件小事，他也会解决到群众满意为止。裘耀和便加快脚步跑过去。当他赶到现场时，有人认出是裘耀和书记，急忙往旁边躲，裘耀和问怎么回事，却没有人说话，他再一看，墙上贴着一张《石杨报》，报纸上用红墨水画上粗粗的红杠，旁边一张白纸上写着：“裘耀和想走资本主义道路。” 这时裘耀和才明白，这是他刚刚在全县三级干部会上的讲话稿被摘登在《石杨报》上，这是他提出的工作思路：“要把个体、私营、民营企业壮大为市场主体；把国有、集体企业改造为市场主体。”以及石杨改革的“五化”方针，即县域经济市场化、经济运行方式民营化、国有集体资产资本化、竞争性社会事业和基础设施建设产业化、政府行为规范化。正是这些醒目的文字被红笔圈了起来。 裘耀和看了一会儿，回头看看在场的群众，脸上露出微笑离开了。他想，这说明石杨的干部群众在动脑筋，关心集体。实际上裘耀和的心里越来越清楚。这些人并不是一般的群众，而是那些经受不起激烈改革的既得利益的官员们。 县委门前的人越来越多了，裘耀和迈着不紧不慢的步子，头脑里却想着许多往事。自从那张漫画在县委大门口出现之后，裘耀和就作了与众不同的决定，今后凡在县委大门口出现关于评论县委和他个人的大小字报，都不准撕掉，让群众好好看，认真评。这让许多人都不理解。可他说，贴大字报的人动了脑子的，而群众自有他们的评判能力，鉴别能力，让群众多动动脑筋，到底谁是谁非。 离开现场，裘耀和正想给纪委书记汪益鹤打电话，突然想到今天上午召开的县委、县政府联席会议，裘耀和之所以在千头万绪的工作当中还要拿出一定的时间开会，他要统一决定石杨县政策的这些领导们的思想，尽管他的不少重要决策许多干部都不理解，他还得一边干一边不断地做思想工作。其实他知道，这其中不少都是用权力强制的。现在他的压力越来越大了，县政府门前已出现两次漫画、大字报，教师的上访，《华南周报》的文章引来了省市联合调查组。他现在要做的，就是尽快出结果，只有让石杨１５０多万人民看到他每一次决策的结果是好的，人们才会认可他，争议也就不攻自破了。对于他来说已经不可能一项一项工作都抓了。想到这里他像晨练的人们那样，跑步往回赶。 上午会议开始前，裘耀和接到王光明的电话：“裘书记吗，我是王光明……”没等裘耀和说话，王光明接着又说：“裘书记，耿直的伤口感染了，而且情况很严重。” “光明，怎么这样一个医院连这种伤口都处理不好，是不是有什么问题？”裘耀和焦急地问。 “我也弄不清楚，我是刚刚接到医院电话的。”王光明说，“我准备上午过去看一下，所以先向你汇报一下。” 裘耀和想了想说：“光明，你先过去，我上午有一个县委、县政府联席会，安排一下，我尽量过去看看。我们需要耿直尽快好起来，也许他掌握一些重要情况。” 到了办公室，离开会时间还有半个小时，裘耀和给浦修达打了电话：“浦县长，上午的会你先主持一下，我有个重要事情要处理一下。”停了一下又说，“正好我不在，让大家敞开思想，让办公室派人做好记录。” “裘书记，你尽快赶过来，有些情况你在场比较好。”浦修达说。裘耀和放下电话，便去了纪委，一进门，汪益鹤说：“裘书记，我正要找你呢，有重要情况向你汇报。” “好，说！”裘耀和看看表，“只有２０分钟，你要参加会议，简要地说要点。”汪益鹤问：“你不参加会议？” “耿直的伤口感染了，而且很严重。”裘耀和说，“我让浦县长先主持会议，我得去看看耿直，不是说耿直比这样的会议重要，而是耿直不能再出问题了。” 汪益鹤看着裘耀和，说：“裘书记，我们正在查县水利局长安宜斌的贪污受贿案件，发现了很多问题，牵涉到尤义兵，涉及到皇朴人。” 裘耀和似乎并不感到惊讶，他不慌不忙地说：“着重抓证据，主要是安宜斌，只要有一两件重要事情，能够吃得准的，可以先把他'双规'起来。”裘耀和犹豫了一会儿又说，“涉及到副县级的人，千万要慎之又慎，拿到证据后再说！” “安宜斌的问题，现在就可以'双规'。”汪益鹤果断地说，“这个人在担任乡党委书记时曾经因为经济问题被免职安排去大区当副书记晾了两年多，后来他不知怎么把尤义兵和皇朴人买通了，很快又把他安排到前进乡任党委书记去了。干了一年，群众对他意见很大，在那里他实在干不下去了，却又调到县水利局当了局长，弄得全县干部是一片哗然。” “好，你开会去吧！”裘耀和看看表，“晚上我们再具体商量，你做好工作，随时准备'双规'安宜斌！”
