Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen

When Qiu Yaohe returned to Shiyang, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening. After dinner, he called the mayor of Pu County. The two decided on the phone to discuss the next step with Wang Yihe and the director. .As soon as he put down the phone, the phone rang again. As soon as Qiu Yaohe answered the phone, it was Director Shao of the investigation team of the State Council: "Hello, I am Qiu Yaohe, yo, it is Director Shao, Director Shao, please forgive me. Originally, the leader of the central investigation team came, and I should put aside all my work to accompany the leader, but because I am the key target of this investigation, I have to avoid this suspicion! So..."

"Secretary Qiu, you're welcome," Director Shao said very politely on the phone, "Well, Secretary Qiu, please come to our place, because our investigation has basically ended, and I want to meet with you and plan to have a meeting as soon as possible." Conclusion, in order to report to the relevant leading comrades of the State Council, after all, this matter was exposed by the TV station.” "Okay, Director Shao, I'll be right there." Qiu Yaohe had just walked to the door, and then turned back to call Magistrate Pu, postponing their meeting. Director Shao is the leader of the relevant departments of the Ministry of Communications and the leader of the investigation team. The other two are Deputy Director Wang, the leader of the relevant departments of the State Council, and Director Li of the Ministry of Communications.

After Qiu Yaohe sat down, Director Shao said: "Secretary Qiu, our investigation team has traveled from Beijing to the county this time. Objectively speaking, this has put more pressure on you, the county party committee, and the county government, let alone Shi Yangkou's cadres. After being exposed by the TV station, the matter of workers’ wages and road repairs has become a hot spot of attention. Therefore, our investigation team will try not to affect your work as much as possible. Based on the principle of seeking truth from facts and in accordance with the requirements of the leaders of the State Council, we mainly investigate the matter It is not easy to draw conclusions. In fact, the matter of deducting the wages of cadres and workers in Shiyang County for road construction is not complicated, because all units that deduct wages are clearly written on everyone's payroll, and , all these funds were handed over to the treasury, and then earmarked by the treasury. If you want to say why this happened, it should be said that our country is too poor, and the country can't spend so much money to build roads. The matter is by no means the common people's business. It should be borne by the country. However, there are too many places in our country that need to build roads, and it is impossible to implement them one by one. You can come up with this method. problem, and it has done good things for the masses, which is fundamentally different from the practice of imposing arbitrary fees and apportionments on peasants and increasing their burden. However, when the leadership’s thinking is not unified, a decision is made forcibly, causing some The employees have complaints, and even so many teachers suspend classes to petition, and the impact is so bad that it was exposed by the TV station "Focus." Director Shao's attitude was very kind, and he handed Qiu Yaohe a cigarette, and then said, "We The investigation is basically over, and you will return to Beijing tomorrow. I hope you will not affect your work because of this matter. During our investigation, most people still give affirmation to your work. I believe the State Council will give you a clear opinion soon. .”

Qiu Yaohe could still accept Director Shao's criticism from the bottom of his heart, he just said: "Director Shao, I think I have shortcomings in my work, but facing such a poor and big county like Shiyang, in my heart I am very anxious, there is no way, China will take 50 years to complete the journey of 300 years in Western countries, this is by no means the best choice, if I am like those officials who are afraid of taking risks, just doing superficial articles and bragging , Talking big words, empty words, maybe I will be promoted in a few years, and I will take such a risk in doing so!"

Director Shao laughed: "So some people say you are 'rule by man'!" Qiu Yaohe seemed to be arguing: "At present, in China, is there any official in power who does not rely on the power in his hands to implement his plan? There is no way. It is not yet possible to completely regard the rule of man and the rule of law as the two poles of right and wrong. In poor and backward areas, can I use the rule of man to promote the rule of law, and use a centralized method to promote democracy? Can I reserve my personal opinion?" Director Shao said: "You can reserve your opinions. I will definitely ask Mr. Cai Jianfeng, a professor at China University of Political Science and Law, to discuss with you at the right time."

On the second day after Qiu Yaohe returned home, that is, the day after Zhang Yufu's two fleeing sons planned to assassinate Qiu Yaohe on the way back to Nanjiang, Qiu Yaohe would never have thought that the Provincial Party Committee Deputy Secretary Kuang Tiemin and Municipal Party Committee Secretary Guo Yushun had a dispute over Qiu Yaohe's issue. Guo Yushun entered Kuang Tiemin's office under the guidance of the secretary.Guo Yushun didn't make a special trip to see Deputy Secretary Kuang. After the meeting of provincial and municipal Party committee secretaries, Deputy Secretary Kuang asked the secretary to take the initiative to call him to the office.After Guo Yushun received the call, he was thinking that Kuang Tiemin was the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in charge of political affairs, and if he was invited to come to the office, it was probably a matter of cadres. This is a common occurrence.As soon as Guo Yushun entered the office, Kuang Tiemin put aside what he was doing and said, "Isn't it difficult to be the secretary of the municipal party committee in this economically underdeveloped area?"

Guo Yushun smiled and said, "I didn't make any special request to the Provincial Party Committee. As the saying goes, if you are poor, you want to change! I believe Chairman Mao's words: 'Under the leadership of the Communist Party, as long as there are people, all miracles in the world will be impossible. can be created"'. Kuang Tiemin said: "Okay! Your old Guo just refuses to admit defeat!" Kuang Tiemin said, and immediately changed the subject, "Comrade Yushun, I invite you to come today, and I want to discuss Qiu Yaohe's matter with you!"

Guo Yushun seemed a little surprised to look at the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee: "Qiu Yaohe, what do you need to discuss? Secretary Kuang?" Kuang Tiemin put on his glasses, took out a stack of materials from a drawer, and said, "Qiu Yaohe was assigned to a provincial agency after graduating from university. Although he became a director at a young age, he lacked work experience." Kuang Tiemin flipped through the materials. , and then said, "I'm afraid I lack grassroots work experience, and I'm a little impatient and aggressive. You see, this county party secretary has only been in office for a few days, and there are so many mistakes!"

Guo Yushun laughed: "Secretary Kuang, I think the Provincial Party Committee chose Qiu Yaohe to be the secretary of the Shiyang County Party Committee. It was the right choice. Maybe the Provincial Party Committee or the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department didn't know Qiu Yaohe well, because he didn't have much Political achievements and a dazzling aura. I don’t think this person has grassroots work experience. It’s just that there are too few such leading cadres. Everything he does is for his own self-interest. He has a lot of responsibility. It is so rare that one person can be selfless and fearless in such a big political risk!"

Kuang Tiemin opened his eyes wide and looked at Guo Yushun. He never expected that Guo Yushun, the secretary of the municipal party committee, had such a different view of Qiu Yaohe from him.Kuang Tiemin looked at the materials and said: "There are more than 100 people in counties, county-level cities, or districts in the whole province, but there is no county party secretary like him. It's a lot of trouble. You see, deducting the salaries of cadres and workers has made everyone so angry, causing teachers to suspend classes to petition, and even got the TV station's "Focus". Again, what kind of small town construction is not something that can be done by anyone. Just do it, but 5 people died, which is not bad. Secretary, there is no need to have such antagonism with the previous leader as soon as he took office! I heard that he will definitely cause problems for the original team of Shiyang County Party Committee." Kuang Tiemin looked at Guo Yushun with obvious displeasure, "So ...I'll come to you to discuss it, and if it doesn't work, I'll get rid of his county party secretary!"

Guo Yushun's face suddenly darkened: "Deputy Secretary Kuang, it's hard for me to agree with your opinion. Of course, Qiu Yaohe has shortcomings, even many shortcomings and mistakes, but as far as being the secretary of the county party committee is concerned, my opinion is exactly the same. On the contrary, so far, I haven’t seen any county party secretary surpassing him. Maybe it’s too general, let’s look at the fact that he advocated deducting the wages of cadres and workers. Shiyang County is a typical poor For so many years, traffic problems have plagued more than 1.5 million people in the counties and large counties. Now that the reform and opening up has reached the late 1990s, it will soon enter the 21st century. Everyone is developing, and highways are being built everywhere. Many villages in Shiyang don’t even have gravel roads, so how do you develop them? Of course, if the country, provinces and cities can provide money to build roads, why does Qiu Yaohe ask the cadres to tighten their belts to build roads?” Guo Yushun somewhat Excited, "But it is impossible for the higher-ups to give them money to build roads for them. He proposed that people who receive state salaries pay 10% of their monthly salary to build roads. This is really not happy for everyone, but with the current salary The standard has not reached the point where it affects life. I have investigated, and the monthly wages of the general cadres there are seven to eight hundred yuan, and 10% is paid out, which is only seventy to eighty yuan. It will not affect family life. It is unreasonable to spend so much money, but this is completely different from increasing the burden on farmers, and it is an essential difference.” Kuang Tiemin still said with a sullen face: "You, Guo Yushun, are not afraid of back pain when you stand and talk. Who is comfortable with deducting so much money from the cadres? Is there any regulation in the state that road construction is a public welfare undertaking? Are you the secretary of the county party committee?" Skills can’t let everyone use their wages to put gold on their faces!” Guo Yushun suddenly said loudly: "Okay then, please ask Deputy Secretary Kuang to give Shi Yang 1 billion yuan to build the road!" Kuang Tiemin became anxious all of a sudden: "You...you..." After a while, "I am not dismissing him." Kuang Tiemin forcibly eased his attitude, "I am not the secretary of the county party committee, he went to the city to be his municipal party committee What influence does the standing committee member and the deputy mayor have on him?" Guo Yushun tried his best to calm down his emotions: "Deputy Secretary Kuang, what I am thinking about now is not him personally, but Shiyang County, which has a population of more than 1.5 million, a very important county in the whole province. My opinion is to let him work for two years. Look, it's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk!" Kuang Tiemin added: "Has the investigation team of the State Council left? If we wait until the investigation team of the State Council recommends that we remove his county party secretary, then we will be passive. I have to say something up front." Guo Yushun said: "In fact, this matter is very simple and does not require investigation. It is not about Qiu Yaohe doing something shameful, nor is it about corruption and bribery. It is just a matter of concept and understanding. I think the investigation team of the State Council will not be too hasty. I can draw a simple conclusion. I have always admired Qiu Yaohe's courage." Kuang Tiemin said: "I have received a lot of materials here, some of which are the opinions of scholars in some theoretical publications, some support Qiu Yaohe, but there are many criticisms, and his behavior is criticized as 'rule of man'." Guo Yushun said: "Deputy Secretary Kuang, when it comes to the rule of man and the rule of law, please allow me to say a few more words." Guo Yushun lit a cigarette and said slowly while smoking: "Deputy Secretary Kuang, China has a population of more than one billion. A big country, a country with a long history of feudal rule, China’s imperial system is a society ruled by men. The power of the emperor is supreme. After liberation, the socialist system has taken a step forward, but it is still far away from a society ruled by law. We are all in Work hard towards a society ruled by law. Qiu Yaohe uses his power to serve the people. Of course, this has a clear color of the rule of man, but is there any area where the current system is not like this? Let’s take Shi Yang as an example! The former county party secretary Huang Pu people use their power to buy and sell officials, embezzle and accept bribes. What kind of rule of man is this? And as the secretary of the municipal party committee, is the power in my hands a manifestation of rule of man? There are so many counties, county-level cities and District secretaries, municipal party secretaries, and more leaders who wield large and small powers, what are their actions? Could it be that Qiu Yao and a county party secretary should be responsible for the malpractice caused by the imperfect system of a country currently in the transition stage to the rule of law? Bear it?" The more Guo Yushun talked, the more excited he became. Neither of these two Chinese politicians thought that they were having a discussion about democracy and politics.At this moment, Kuang Tiemin, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, also thought about the issue of the rule of man and the rule of law, but he did not express it like Guo Yushun.He thinks that in China’s thousands of years of imperial culture, people have formed a stereotype of thinking and behavior in an environment ruled by man, and the reform and opening up, the biggest reform, lies in the redefinition, redistribution of power and placing power in the majority to reflect the will of the majority. under the law. The conversation between the two ended in this way. Perhaps these two politicians have not yet reached a certain height and depth in their minds about the dangers of the rule of man and the significance of the rule of law. I am afraid that this is also a problem that must be resolved in the current political system reform. one. Here we must tell everyone that Qiu Yaohe's county party secretary has been retained for the time being, but what will be the outcome of this dispute between the provincial party committee and the municipal party committee who decide Qiu Yaohe's political fate?No one knows. Qiu Yaohe finished talking with Pu Xiuda, Wang Yihe, and Director Tong. It was already past 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. As soon as he entered the dormitory, the phone rang in the room. He picked up the phone: "Hello... oh, it's Pei Xiu Ah, you... why aren't you sleeping?" "Can I sleep? Look at what time it is, you..." The wife stopped unhappily, "I have repeatedly told you to call me when you arrive in Shiyang. Called, but no one answered the phone in the room, and the phone was turned off, what do you think I have spent the past half a day?" "I'm really sorry, Peixiu," Qiu Yaohe said apologetically, "Hey, as soon as we arrived in the county, the investigation team of the State Council exchanged opinions with me, and then went on to study the work. Alright, go to sleep now!" On the morning of December 14, 1997, the sky was bright, and Qiu Yao, as usual, had finished his exercise of running around the county street. According to the spirit of the notice, all the personnel were not allowed to bring their own vehicles for the observation meeting. After breakfast, Qiu Yaohe had a 10-minute phone call with Wang Yihe and left in a hurry. He neither took the bus nor Audi cars without provincial license plates.At 7:30 in the morning, he left the gate of the guest house, and an ordinary Santana car came. He got in the car and sat in the back row with Wang Guangming, the police chief.Santana quickly left the county seat and headed northwest. At 8 o'clock, under the leadership of the county head Pu Xiuda, the leaders of the four teams of the county party committee, the county government, the people's congress, and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference got on three buses respectively. After boarding 3 buses, the car slowly left the county town, and the car was even more lively. The heads of those townships, ministries, and bureaus usually rarely have such an opportunity, and everyone started talking about it regardless of meat or vegetables.The atmosphere in the car became more and more heated. About half an hour later, a van blocked the way. Pu Xiuda was in the first bus and asked the driver to stop. At this time, someone behind him cursed impatiently: " Damn it, I don’t even look at what kind of car it is, but dare to stop it!” Everyone in the car looked forward, feeling a little strange about this inexplicable car, and couldn’t even remember which license plate it was Units.At this time, the two cars behind also stopped.The strange thing is that no one got out of the car. These bosses are used to yelling and shouting. Of course, they are not used to it. Some people want to open the door to get out of the car, but they are all rejected.After a while, Wang Yihe, secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, got out of the van in front, followed by two deputy secretaries. At this time, someone found a medium-sized van behind the last bus. Qiu Yaohe got out of the car. I saw Wang Yihe board the first bus, holding a folder in his hand, and said loudly: "Please pay attention, the person whose name I read next, please get out of the bus and get on the medium-sized van at the back." Some people seem to realize something, because they are particularly harsh and sensitive to Secretary Wang's word "personnel". Even if they are not called leaders, they should be called comrades!At this time, there was a sudden silence in the car, and it even made people feel a little out of breath.Wang Yihe looked into the crowd and began to read the list. He read the list very slowly. He stopped for a long time after reading a person's name, his eyes turned and searched among the crowd.He suddenly stopped on that person, for some reason, this made the heart of the people in the car suspend, every time he read a person's name, dozens of pairs of eyes in the car stared at that person at the same time, and finally finished reading , I don’t know who counted them. The names in this car were two township party committee secretaries, three township chiefs, and five bureau directors. Afterwards, Wang Yihe stepped aside, moved out of the way, and said loudly, "Anyone who reads their name, please get out of the car immediately." He said the word "please" very emphatically. Not daring to make a sound, I don't know who led the way, and 10 people got out of the car. Then Secretary Wang got on the second car, and the air in the car froze in an instant. Wang Yihe used the same method to count the names of 9 people, and 10 people got off the third bus, making a total of 29 people. The medium-sized van was full of people, all of them lowered their heads, and the expressions on their faces made people feel terrible.Is there any explanation for this?Their hearts are already like a mirror, but none of them have any mental preparations, why don't they even have any information beforehand.Maybe they cursed Qiu Yaohe and Wang Yihe in their hearts, but would they have imagined how excited the common people would be after hearing the news! The weather was getting more and more gloomy, and the northwest wind was blowing the dust so that people couldn't keep their eyes open. There were so many people missing in the three buses, it seemed a little empty, and the leaders who were left were still a little scared and uneasy.The cold weather made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice kiln. The happy atmosphere along the way just now was wiped out. Someone quietly lit a cigarette and smoked heavily with sullen heads. Except for the county magistrate Pu Xiuda was behind, and the rest of the people were sitting in the car, motionless.Wang Yihe and the two deputy secretaries, the secretaries, township heads, and directors of the ministries and bureaus who were named at the command point got into the medium-sized van. For some reason, Wang Yihe didn't announce what these people were going to do, but everyone knew it in their hearts. The word "please" when Wang Yihe announced the list is indeed too meaningful. All 29 people got into the medium-sized van. Wang Yihe closed the door, said a few words to Qiu Yaohe and Pu Xiuda, and boarded the bus in front. Drive back with a wisp of wind and dust. Three buses drove to the Shasha Township Government, and the wind was so cold that the plastic sheeting on the windows of the auditorium was shaken by the cold wind.Qiu Yao and Tong Pu Xiuda entered the auditorium, and then the township party committee secretaries, township heads, and directors of ministries and bureaus followed in desperation. In the past, this time was their chance to exchange greetings and brag. However, now They couldn't see the smiling faces and couldn't hear the laughter. They were still thinking about the frightening scene just now. No one knew why Wang Yihe brought them here. Could this be "shuanggui"?What about the work of these units? The leaders of the four sets of teams all took their seats on the rostrum. Qiu Yao and Tong Pu Xiuda sat down in the two seats in the middle of the front row. At this time, Pu Xiuda pushed the microphone: "The meeting is now." The audience There was a sudden silence, no one was late, and even the smokers quietly put out their unfinished cigarettes.Pu Xiuda went on to say: "Before the meeting, I invite Secretary Qiu to give an important speech on the current work." Qiu Yaohe's face was stern, and his eyes moved slowly under the stage. After a while, he said: "Comrades, everyone has seen what happened on the road just now. Did it feel sudden or even a little inexplicable? Now I Officially tell everyone that they are officially invited by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and go, let them explain the relevant issues clearly at the specified time and place. Some of them bought officials for themselves by any means, some with their own money, some with public funds, Do you know how the common people judged them? Not only scolding mothers, but also eight generations of ancestors scolding them. I asked, they are all members of the Communist Party, and they have tarnished the glorious title of Communist Party members!" Qiu Yaohe stood up excitedly, Said loudly, "I know that some people scold me Qiu Yaohe behind my back, accuse me of Qiu Yaohe, saying that I have no humanity, but, you go ask the more than 1.5 million people in Shiyang County, whether it is I who have no humanity, or they have no humanity." Human nature! I can't tolerate their misbehavior. If they don't harm the interests of the party and the masses, they won't be able to bear it. I promise you here again that I will put my personal life, behavior, and work in front of everyone, and put them in front of everyone. In front of more than 1.5 million people in the county, I hope everyone will supervise me. I may make mistakes at work, but I will definitely stick to the general direction of reform. A few people want to stop the pace of reform because of their personal interests, and we will not allow it. I believe that as long as you don't break down, others can't beat you." Qiu Yaohe took a sip of water and sat down: "I think some comrades are not in a good mood. I don't want to find out why. Our Communist Party has always allowed mistakes to be made. It is not terrible to make mistakes, as long as you can recognize them and correct them. There is no communist who does not make mistakes, and Chairman Mao is open to it, such as the Cultural Revolution, which is his own biggest mistake." Qiu Yaohe said in another tone, "Shi Yang is currently in the governance stage, we must do our best to Avoid leftist tendencies. Although many comrades made mistakes of one kind or another due to various reasons in the past, as long as the problem has not developed to that point and the attitude of understanding is relatively good, we still welcome these comrades to correct their mistakes. I have such confidence and Determined, Shi Yang's tomorrow will be bright and sunny, and there will be great chaos after the chaos." At this time, some people in the audience whispered to each other, Qiu Yaohe stopped, and looked at the more than 100 people in charge of townships and ministries and bureaus in the audience, and he said: "People like Jiang Kaisheng and Qi Minglian are after all They are a minority. Everyone present here has worked with them for many years. You should consider in your heart that they can still be regarded as members of the Communist Party, and they can still be worthy of being a leading cadre at the county level. Do you have such power as the head of the county food bureau? If you think that what they did is right, and the people of the whole county support their approach, you can jointly write a letter to release them on bail!" "Okay, let me announce the list of comrades who have been 'invited' by the Discipline Inspection Commission just now. The deputies who announce to preside over the work must work hard to do a good job in the work of the unit. For some units and departments, we temporarily ask the leaders of the four sets of county teams to take charge for a period of time. Why is the county party committee not suitable for the time being? One is to look at some How big is the comrade's problem? In the future, the county party committee must overcome the disadvantages of a few people who have the final say in the selection of the department in the future, and hand over the power of selecting and recommending cadres to the masses. To demystify, we need to expand the scope of investigation. Secondly, after the appointment target is determined, the pre-appointment publicity is adopted, so that the general public can supervise and come to the selection of leading cadres. Anyone who has strong reactions from the public must be carefully investigated, and the results of the investigation Announce it to the masses, and let the masses decide whether they can be appointed. Only in this way can we guarantee the political and professional quality of the leading cadres we select.” At the end of the second observation meeting, Qiu Yaohe took Zhou Yizhou, Secretary of the Party Committee of Qianjin Township, to Qingtang Village. As soon as Qiu Yaohe's car stopped at the gate of the township government, the public spread the word. The news of the senior officials has also become widely known.Qiu Yaohe, Zhou Yizhou, and Liu Yexuan walked towards Qingtang Village on foot. I don't know who reported the news. The surrounding people heard that the county party secretary Qiu Yaohe had come, and they all ran over. Some people said that Qiu Yaohe was more than 2 meters tall and strong. Infinity; some people say that Qiu Yaohe is like Sun Wukong, capable and righteous.But at first glance, Qiu Yaohe is nothing more than an ordinary person. At the head of Qingtang Village, the narrow path was crowded with men, women and children. When Qiu Yaohe walked past, a group of men, women and children suddenly knelt in the middle of the road. A young woman cried and said, "Secretary Qiu, 'Qiu Qingtian ', I kowtow to you, long live the Communist Party!..." At this moment, Zhou Yizhou panicked, and immediately stepped forward and pulled the young woman, saying: "Everyone, get up, get up!" Zhou Yizhou was so moved that his eyes were a little wet, he choked up and said to Qiu Yaohe, "Secretary Qiu, she is Zhang Jiamin." Qin Xiulan's wife!" Qiu Yaohe pulled Qin Xiulan: "Get up, get up quickly, how do you live without a man in your family?" Qiu Yaohe's eyes were full of crystal clear tears, and he tried his best to restrain himself. At this moment, a man of medium stature stepped forward to pull Qin Xiulan up and said, "Secretary Qiu, with the care of the township party committee, we settled Zhang Yufu's account, rebuilt three tile-roofed houses for Qin Xiulan's house, and subsidized her mother every month." 100 yuan for living expenses for the two girls." Zhou Yizhou said: "Secretary Qiu, this is Wei Xinhua, who was beaten at the same time as Zhang Jiamin. Zhang Jiamin failed to rescue him. He rescued Wei Xinhua for a few days. Now, after being elected by the villagers, he has become the director of the village committee of Qingtang Village." Qiu Yaohe shook Wei Xinhua's hand and said, "The masses trust you, so you must do things for them. As the saying goes, 'Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it'! Are you a party member?" Wei Xinhua said a little shyly: "I just joined the party, and I'm still preparing." Qiu Yaohe happily shook Wei Xinhua's hand: "If you join the party, you are no longer ordinary people. You are poor here! You have to learn from Comrade Wu Renbao from Huaxi Village, Jiangyin City, and lead all the villagers to the road of prosperity. In 2009, we built small buildings and bought cars like Huaxi Village did." Qiu Yaohe held Wei Xinhua's hand tightly again, "Work hard, and if you need support, come to the county to find me!" The villagers had already surrounded Qiu Yaohe layer by layer. Qiu Yaohe walked forward slowly. Suddenly, he turned his head and said to Wei Xinhua, "Who else is there in Zhang Yufu's family?" Wei Xinhua said: "Children and women." Qiu Yaohe turned around and said, "Wei Xinhua, you are now a village cadre and a party member. You must learn to be tolerant. I don't know if you have heard of a common saying, which is 'Enemies should be solved rather than tied! Zhang Yufu He and his four sons committed crimes and ran rampant in the countryside for many years. They deserved their crimes, but their family members and children cannot be treated in the same way, and they must be given a way out instead of retaliation." Standing among the villagers, Qiu Yaohe looked at Qingtang Village in the twilight. A gust of northwest wind blew by, and a gust of cold air hit him. Looking at the faces that had been through vicissitudes and yearning for happiness, he felt the Chinese peasants' respect for survival. The requirements are not high, but the cruel oppression of these helpless peasants by a village tyrant like Zhang Yufu has strengthened his determination to improve the economy of Shiyang County.No one noticed when Wei Xinhua left quietly. At this moment, Wei Xinhua squeezed in front of Qiu Yaohe again, holding a pot of miniature bonsai in his hand, and said to Qiu Yaohe: "Secretary Qiu, we have nothing Here is a present for you, this is a pocket bonsai of Chinese wolfberry planted by a famous flower grower in our village, and I give it to you to express a little respect for the 836 villagers in our village." Wei Xinhua said, putting the bonsai in his hand upright Hand it over to Qiu Yaohe. Qiu Yaohe took over the bonsai and looked at it carefully. It was an oval saucer-shaped flowerpot, inside which was planted a uniquely shaped wolfberry tree, and there were two small stones beside it. Just by looking at it, you will definitely feel it. To the beauty of the world, the beauty of the mountains.Qiu Yaohe looked at it for a long time and said, "Whose handcraft is this? It's so beautiful!" Wei Xinhua said: "There is a flower farmer in our village named Gui Yizhi. He usually doesn't like anything. He just studies these tree roots and stones all year round." Qiu Yaohe became happy: "Okay! Noble sentiment, we must turn his hobbies into wealth. We will immediately invite an investor to develop flowers. Xiao Wei, this is a good way for your village to get rich what!" Wei Xinhua became happy: "Secretary Qiu, if this is the case, the farmers in our village will never forget you!" Qiu Yaohe carefully looked at the bonsai in his hand: "Xiao Wei, it's not good for you to give away Master Gui's beloved thing, because it can be sold for money!" Wei Xinhua said: "Secretary Qiu, I bought it with money! If I don't take other people's things for nothing, I will never be like Zhang Yufu." Qiu Yaohe said again: "Then you spend money to buy things for me, where did you get the money?" "Secretary Qiu, I still have 10 yuan." Wei Xinhua said. Qiu Yaohe said: "Such a pot of bonsai is only worth 10 yuan, so how much money does the family make? You see, this flower pot is bought! This specimen, as well as the craftsmanship in the process of forming the shape, are priceless. Yes." Wei Xinhua said: "The folks in our village, he can't make money from me!" Qiu Yaohe took out 50 yuan from his pocket as he said: "I bought it for 50 yuan, and I will advertise it for you. When the investors from the province come, I must let them come and inspect it for themselves." At this time, Liu Yexuan came to Qiu Yaohe with the mobile phone in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Secretary Qiu, Secretary Wang Yihe's phone number." Then, he handed the mobile phone to Qiu Yaohe. Qiu Yaohe took the mobile phone: "Hey... hey, I see, I'll be right back." Qiu Yaohe turned and said to the villagers who surrounded him tightly: "Folks, please come back! Really! I’m sorry, but I can’t go into the village to see everyone’s life. Let’s go to another day. I’ll come with investors from the province. We must help everyone get on the road to prosperity! Let everyone live a good life.” The villagers slowly moved out of the way and followed behind Qiu Yaohe. Qiu Yaohe turned his head from time to time and waved to the villagers. On the morning of December 14, after 29 secretaries, township chiefs, and directors were taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the county government in Shiyang County was like dropping an atomic bomb. People may not have seen the scene at that time, and many people added a lot of subjective colors. Some people said that more than 100 people were handcuffed at once, some people said that some people ran away, and that the police chief Wang Guangming shot and killed them. Many people were injured, and the speaker was curious, but many family members became uneasy. Some people went directly to the office of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection to find Wang Yihe, but the Commission for Discipline Inspection left two people on duty, and the rest were not in the office.As a result, the county town was rumored to be even more panic-stricken. According to the prior notice, a mobilization meeting for institutional reform will be held at 1:30 p.m.As soon as the morning observation meeting was over, the secretaries, township heads, and directors of the ministries and bureaus returned home and had a quick lunch. It was time for the meeting. In Shiyang County today, no matter what meeting is held, no one will be late. The meeting started on time at 1:30, and there were only 4 people on the rostrum, Shu Da, Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee, Zhou Xinyu, Member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and Minister of Organization, Wang Yihe, Member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and Xu Shouchun, Deputy County Mayor.The meeting was presided over by Shuda. Before the meeting started, Shuda first conducted a roll call, starting from the principal position of each unit to the deputy positions, one by one, which was rare in the past. The roll call took a long time. After the roll call, Mobilized by Zhou Xinyu, this institutional reform is mainly to streamline the personnel. The leading cadres will be elected by the public. First, the positions of the leading cadres will be announced; The first step is to publish the list of confirmed candidates to the public through newspapers and radio stations; the fifth step is to conduct cultural examinations, from high scores to low scores, according to the ratio of 1:10, take the top 10, and conduct inspections and political reviews.The sixth step is to determine the candidates for the defense according to the ratio of 1:5, and take the top 3 from high to low scores, publicize it to the public, accept the supervision of the masses, check the prominent problems reported by the masses, and announce the results of the verification to the masses; In seven steps, the county party committee will determine a candidate, and the probation period will be one year... No one noticed that at the end of the meeting, two medium-sized vans were parked in the square in front of the auditorium, and two rows of staff from the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Procuratorate stood neatly outside the auditorium. The meeting procedure was over, but the meeting was not announced. Shuda said into the microphone: "Comrade Wang Yihe will announce the decision of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection." In an instant, more than a hundred pairs of eyes from the audience turned to the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection on the rostrum, especially after experiencing the thrilling scene in the morning, I don't know what happened again.Wang Yihe pushed the loudspeaker and said loudly: "After the study and decision of the Shiyang County Disciplinary Inspection Committee of the Communist Party of China and the approval of the Standing Committee of the Shiyang County Committee of the Communist Party of China, the following 18 comrades will be inspected by the Discipline Inspection Commission at the designated place from now on. "Wang Yihe raised his head, his eyes moved slowly in the audience, there was no sound from the audience, and everyone held their breath. After a while, Wang Yihe read the names slowly and one by one, and the list was finally finished.汪益鹤大声说：“请外面纪委和检察院的同志指挥他们分别上两辆面包车。” 这时，等候在外面的40多名同志排着队进了会场，突然人群中骚动起来了，不知谁叫了一声：“快，有人休克了！”汪益鹤一边跑下主席台一边大声问：“怎么回事？” 裘耀和回到县里已经是下午4点多钟了，县委常委已经等在会议室，他看看大家说：“同志们，今天一共有29名正科级、18名副科级干部被纪委'请'去了，希望县委常委做好各自分管部门和单位的稳定工作，平稳地度过这段时间，工作不能受到影响，同时要做好有关家属的思想工作，正确对待家里发生的事，相信党、相信群众。”裘耀和站起来，“常委会由浦县长主持继续开，因为我马上要到市里去。” 石杨县一下子“双规”了6名县处级干部(原县委副书记、组织部长尤义兵，县委常委、政法委书记蒋开盛，副县长成正震、高钱民，县委副书记蔡伟民，政协副主席祁明连)、正科级干部29人、副科级18人，引起了省市领导的重视，省委副书记匡铁民打电话给市委书记郭玉顺，叫郭玉顺一定要过问一下石杨县的工作，说这样搞下去还不乱套了。 然而，现在郭玉顺叫裘耀和到市里来，却是商量另外一件重大事情。 一连多日皇朴人确实如同热锅上的蚂蚁，整日惶惶不可终日，他真的没有想到，裘耀和如此心狠手辣，在他执政期间的县四套班子中“双规”了6个县级领导，更让他不能容忍的是，居然把粮食局15名正副局长一锅端，昨天一下子又“双规”了29名乡镇党委书记、乡镇长和部委办局正职领导，接着他又接到报告，又有18名副科级领导在大会上被双规。他真想不顾一切地闯进市委书记郭玉顺的办公室，责问郭玉顺，裘耀和到底要干什么。可是当他准备去找郭玉顺时，他又胆怯了。说不定那些家伙此刻已经老老实实地把他们买官的情况招供出来了。想到这里，他的全身一阵寒战。 皇朴人已经一天没有到办公室去了，他现在一个人把自己关在宿舍里，觉得如此恐惧，往日的威风似乎荡然无存了。他呆呆地坐在沙发上，进行痛苦的回忆。在当初听到成立沂州市时，他确实非常兴奋，凭他20多年的官场生活，他认定了这是他升迁的好机会，他暗暗在心中将那几个县委书记排了队。凭他的资格，提升副市级那是必然的，应该说他的这个副市长几乎在他自己的预料之中，当这一切成为现实时，他的心里的确有些“踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫”的感觉。但是，当他得知他被提升副市长后，石杨县委书记就不再担任了，当时他心里很矛盾，特别是知道裘耀和任市委常委、副市长兼任石杨县委书记时，他的心里有一种说不出的痛苦。事实证明，自从裘耀和接替他县委书记之后，他的麻烦就没完没了，当天裘耀和居然取消了他安排的隆重接风宴，随后在县城整治环境，大家嘴上不说，但都知道这是在出他皇朴人的洋相。谁知裘耀和越来越不像话了。现在全县那么多干部被“双规”了，只要有那么几个人出卖了他，那他的后果就不堪设想了。 现在，他想找个说说心里话的人都没有了，内心经过一阵反复斗争之后，又在自我安慰着自己。他想，这种两个人之间发生的事，没有确实的证据，纪委、反贪局也是无法定论的，何况他现在是一名地厅级领导干部了，假如真的要“双规”他，那必须问题严重，而且证据确凿。即使这样，还要经过省委常委会批准。然而尽管他把很多事情总是往好处去想，可是他的那颗不安的心总是像偷了东西似的。省市纪委联合专案组在他毫不知晓的情况下进驻石杨，这明显是对着县处级以上领导干部的嘛。本来他想到凭着省纪委梅处长的关系，帮他一个副市长的忙，绝不成问题。谁知在关键时刻，需要梅处长的时候，却是查无此人，这给他当头一棒，一盆凉水从头浇到底。 这时，他的手机响起来了，皇朴人慌慌张张地拿起手机，他下意识地瞥了一眼手机上的号码，这是一个陌生号码，他看着这个奇怪的号码，犹豫了半天，还是接通了电话：“谁？……谁？……”对方却没有声音了，皇朴人觉得自己的声音像是怒吼，“怎么不说话……” “是皇市长吗？”皇朴人觉得这声音有些似曾相识，于是问：“你是谁，谁？” “哈哈哈，我的皇市长，你真是贵人多忘事哟！”对方笑得那样爽朗，“你猜猜我是谁？” “你……你……”皇朴人竭力在头脑里思索着，突然，他的眼中迸出了兴奋的火花，在这一瞬间，他从沙发上跳了起来，“你……你……你是不是梅……梅处长啊！” “哈哈，皇市长；你对我还真的是一往情深哪！是我，没想到吧！” 皇朴人如同获得了大救星，又像身处茫茫大海中看到了一根救命的稻草。他兴奋得不知所措：“哎呀！梅处长，你简直就是天上的神仙啊！在我最困难时，在我最需要你帮助的时候，你从天上降下来了！”皇朴人激动得热泪盈眶。 “你能有什么困难！”梅处长大笑起来。 “梅处长，我要立即见你，你在哪儿？” “我就在你脚下这块土地上，任你招之即来！” 皇朴人更加兴奋了：“真的？我们马上见面，今天晚上我要好好招待你！” 皇朴人坐在豪华包间里，他安排了一桌贵宾菜肴，他不准备请任何人陪梅处长，他想和梅处长好好谈一谈，现在他已经找不到一个推心置腹的人了。蒋开盛、尤义兵、祁明连、成正震都已经失去自由了，这时他才感到自己的孤独和寂寞。皇朴人不停地看看表，已经过了用餐时间，可梅处长仍没有到，等得他有些不耐烦了，于是按照刚才梅处长打来的号码拨了电话，可是反复地拨，回答的都是：“您拨打的电话无法接通！” 这期间，服务员几次推开包间的门，见始终是皇市长一个人坐在沙发上，只好笑笑退了出去。 皇朴人的头脑里又开始了茫茫思绪，本来，他想借省市调查组的大好机会，借电视台《焦点》的威力，把裘耀和搞臭，再把他撵出石杨，甚至他还想也像裘耀和那样，重新兼起石杨县委书记这个重要职务，再度辉煌几年。可是万万没有想到，省市调查组不了了之，《焦点》不仅没有搞倒裘耀和，反倒让他名声大噪，更加干得风风火火。 就在这时，包间的门推开了，一个梳着油光水亮大背头的青年出现在门口，皇朴人先是一愣，接着从沙发上跳了起来，迎了上去，一把抓住年轻人的手：“哎呀，梅处长，你真的让我好等呀！” 两人寒暄之后，皇朴人请梅处长入座，一张大圆桌上，摆满了丰盛的佳肴，皇朴人把梅处长推到首席上坐了下来，自己也就在梅”处长身边坐下。这时梅处长问：“怎么，就咱俩？ " 皇朴人似乎有些尴尬，随即竭力装作坦然地一笑：“就咱俩，俩人好，自由，不受任何约束。” 这时一个年轻的女子过来斟酒，皇朴人摆摆手，让那女子退了出去，自己亲自为梅处长斟上酒：“梅处长，你来得太好了，太及时了，你知道我找你找得好苦啊！”此刻，皇朴人突然想到梅处从出现，到失踪，现在又突然从天而降，他真想问问这是怎么回事，可话到嘴边，又缩了回去，觉得这样太不妥当了，万一把梅处长得罪了，那他还会帮忙吗？ “皇市长，实在对不起，我到外地去办一个案子，你知道办案是有纪律的。”梅处长理直气壮地一说，皇朴人的疑虑随之也就打消了。 接着梅处长从皇朴人手里拿过酒瓶，一边给皇朴人倒酒，一边说：“皇市长，来，我敬你两杯，好久没有给你敬酒了。” 此时，皇朴人如同见到了大救星，心中的那些担忧和恐惧暂时消退了，他端着酒杯，连饮两杯，接着又从梅处长手里抢过酒瓶，给梅处长倒了满满一杯：“来，梅处长，我再敬你两杯！” 此时皇朴人一连喝了6杯酒，这对他来说，实实在在地连连喝下这么多酒是不常有的事，他当县委书记七八年来，只要一喝酒，他只是表表礼节，他不会如此痛痛快快地喝这么多酒的，现在他自觉头脑有些控制不住地兴奋起来。 “梅处长，”皇朴人抓住梅处长的手说，“你一定得帮帮我的忙啊！这几天我的心里总是忐忑不安……” 梅处长说：“皇市长遇到什么烦心事了，你当上了副市长了，这个位置可是个高级干部位置啊！虽然没有县委书记的权力大，可毕竟到了更高层次啦，应该说，你们这些人，才是时代的骄子啊！” 皇朴人痛苦地低着头：“梅处长，理论上是这样的，可是……”皇朴人艰难地摇摇头，“可是我眼下似乎是大难临头了……” “怎么回事？”梅处长惊讶地看看皇朴人，“皇市长，不知我能不能帮上你的忙！” “能，你一定能。”皇朴人睁大那双渴求的眼睛，看着梅处长，“请你帮我到省纪委去摸摸底，省纪委专案组到石杨的目的到底是什么？” “你是说……”梅处长看着皇朴人，疑惑地问：“有人在把目标瞄准你？” 皇朴人更加慌张起来：“我有一种不好的预感……” “皇市长，你自己首先要挺直腰杆，”梅处长说，“你说如今哪个领导干部当权时多少没有点问题，只要没有人死死盯住不放，纪委也是不告不理呀！” 皇朴人慌了：“可是梅处长，石杨偏偏出了一个裘耀和，这个人新官上任，过去在省级机关虽然当处长，可是他哪里掌握过县委书记这样的大权，我感觉到他一上任就磨刀霍霍。”皇朴人那期盼而渴求的目光久久地望着梅处长，“到目前，他们已经'双规'了我在任时县四套班子里6名副县级领导、29名正科级、18名副科级干部，你说他的目的不是太明显了吗？'项庄舞剑，意在沛公'嘛！” “真的？”梅处长吃惊地问。 “千真万确。”皇朴人说，“你一定得帮帮我！” 梅处长犹豫着，像是思考着什么，接着给自己倒了一杯酒，一口喝干了，又倒了一杯，喝完了酒说：“皇市长，你放心，这个忙我还是能帮上的。” 皇朴人给自己斟上酒，双手端着杯子，恭恭敬敬地放到梅处长面前：“梅处长，凭你这句话，我皇某干两杯，今后你就是我的大恩人，只要你需要我的地方，我肝脑涂地，在所不辞！” “皇市长，举手之劳，你就别客气了。你我之间还用说这些吗？”梅处长也兴奋起来了。 皇朴人往梅处长身边靠了靠，压低声音说：“梅处长，如今办事都一样，办事都得求人，求人又不能空口说白话，这样，我先给你这个……”皇朴人说着伸出左手食指和中指，轻轻地在梅处长眼前晃了晃。 梅处长会心地点点头：“我一定尽力！”
