Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

Hou Liangping deliberately chose to take the high-speed rail to go to H province to take office.He feels that the days of trapeze can come to an end, the scope of work will be reduced from the whole country to a province in the future, and the means of transportation should also be changed from airplanes to trains.That's good, you don't have to worry about thunderstorms anymore.The train runs at high speed, smoothly and quietly, and I don't even feel how fast it is running.Only the fields, jungles, rivers, and villages that are constantly flying backwards prove the existence of speed.What's more, there will be a lot of high-rise buildings in a short time. The density of cities in China is amazing!Numerous masonry and concrete jungles have cut the vast wilderness into pieces, allowing the speed to reveal the reality that is usually not noticed.

Under the tranquil appearance, Hou Liangping's mood is like the speeding Harmony high-speed rail, never calm for a moment.Chen Hai's distress made him sad and angry. When he goes to Jingzhou, he must catch the murderer behind the scenes and bring him to justice.However, his professional sensitivity warned him that from Ding Yizhen's escape to the "September 16" fire, the corruption situation in H Province is not optimistic, and he may face a tough battle. With a good start now, the important informant Cai Chenggong finally fell into the hands of classmate Qi Tongwei, Hou Liangping was relieved.After receiving Qi Tongwei's call, Hou Liangping thanked Qi Tongwei repeatedly and invited Qi Tongwei to drink.Qi Tongwei said: Don't invite me anymore, let me give you a chance as the new director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau!As soon as you arrive tomorrow, go straight to the bar.Hou Liangping said: I'm afraid it won't work, I have to go to the hospital to see Chen Hai, and I have to talk to the organization department, another day.Qi Tongwei didn't force it anymore.Hou Liangping made an agreement with Qi Tongwei on the phone to hand over Cai Chenggong to the Provincial Procuratorate tomorrow morning, and he will personally interrogate the young boy.Qi Tongwei swore that there would be no problem.

Chen Hai was lying on a bed in the intensive care unit with gauze wrapped around his head and various tubes inserted into his body.His eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale and yellow, and he seemed not even breathing.Hou Liangping looked very uncomfortable, tears could not help rolling down.At this time, Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming's car arrived and wanted to take him to the Provincial Party Committee for a talk. He said that Sha Ruijin, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, was waiting for him in his office. Hou Liangping was deeply surprised and thought Ji Changming was joking.Ji Changming is very serious, saying that it is normal for the provincial management cadres to talk when they take office.Hou Liangping said: At his level, it is enough to have a deputy minister or even a ministerial committee member of the Organization Department to talk to. Secretary Sha Ruijin is the top official in Xinjiang, and it is so late.Ji Changming said meaningfully: Yes, it is indeed extraordinary that the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee talks in person.The Standing Committee has just been held, and the new Provincial Party Committee attaches great importance to the construction of a clean government and anti-corruption work!

The car drove all the way on the colorful street, heading for the provincial party committee compound.Ji Changming sighed endlessly: "Chen Hai has fallen, you come to the top, the Iron Triangle of the Department of Political Science and Law is still an Iron Triangle!" Hou Liangping was both surprised and puzzled: Ji Jian, what do you mean by that?What iron triangle? Ji Changming didn't say anything, and looked straight out of the window, not knowing what he was thinking. Although Hou Liangping and Ji Changming are very familiar, they don't have a deep understanding of each other.In the past, when he went to the Provincial Academy on business trips, he mainly looked for Chen Hai, who was his business counterpart and a classmate.In Hou Liangping's impression, the Procurator Ji of the Provincial Procuratorate was sophisticated and steady, never talking nonsense.Thinking about working together in the future, Hou Liangping insisted that Ji Changming talk about the Audio-Technica.

This seems a bit overwhelming.But after a moment of silence, Ji Changming smiled and confessed frankly—the history and reality of the cadre team in this province are relatively complicated, you are in a group, and I am in a group.Over the years, the cadres of the important departments of the political and legal system of H province have basically come from the political and legal department of H University.Graduates from China University of Political Science and Law and other domestic universities of political science and law, no one can enjoy more than graduates from the Department of Political Science and Law of H University.So some people said that Chiang Kai-shek had a Whampoa military academy back then, which created a Whampoa department, and Gao Yuliang had a political and legal department, with disciples all over the world.Hou Liangping laughed at himself: So, I have to hurry to pay homage to my teacher's wharf?

After pausing for a while, Hou Liangping asked Ji Changming again with half-truth and half-fidelity: Hey, which mountain are you from?Ji Changming smiled wryly, saying that he had no hills, so no one took him seriously.Hou Liangping smiled and said: That's great, I have a companion when I come here.Ji Changming shook his head and smiled: Liangping, you are different, you have a faction, you are from the Department of Political Science and Law!Hou Liangping made a serious statement: Ji Jian, I am neither an iron triangle nor a political and legal system.Please believe me, I only deal with things, not people!

Ji Changming glanced at him attentively, then suddenly reached out his hand and shook him tightly. The car stopped in front of Building No. 1 of the Provincial Party Committee Compound, and Hou Liangping and Ji Changming got out of the car.Several tall magnolia trees are illuminated by white street lamps, and the courtyard is quiet and quiet, with a pair of stone lions squatting beside the steps.This is the center of the provincial party committee. Secretary Sha Ruijin works here, and the meeting room of the standing committee is also in this building.The building looks ordinary from the outside, with dark red brushed brick exterior walls and sloping roofs, resembling Soviet-style buildings in the 1950s.But in the eyes of the cadres of H Province, it looks like a king who holds power, with majesty in its simplicity.The decisions here affect the work and life of 60 million people in H Province.

Hou Liangping and Ji Changming walked up the steps.Director Bai, Sha Ruijin's secretary, greeted them in the foyer and led them into the spacious living room.Director Bai poured a glass of water for each of them and asked them to wait a while, saying that Secretary Sha was talking with the newly transferred Secretary Tian Guofu of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. This wait is more than an hour.Ji Changming was quite touched: the new Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, the new Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, plus you, the new Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau!It seems that our province is about to change its appearance!

Sending off the newly appointed Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Sha Ruijin came in cheerfully and shook hands with the two of them politely.Ji Changming introduced Hou Liangping, and Sha Ruijin looked at him and joked: I know, the young talents grandly launched by the Supreme Procuratorate and Anti-Corruption Bureau!Hou Liangping was a little embarrassed.Sha Ruijin made a gesture to ask Ji Changming and Hou Liangping to sit down on the sofa, and he sat down opposite. Sha Ruijin seemed to be speaking casually, saying that he had just arrived not long ago, counting today, he had only been in office for 28 days.These days, he mainly conducts research in the following cities and counties to get familiar with the situation.Without investigation, there is no right to speak.Ji Changming and Hou Liangping nodded and took out their notebooks to record.Sha Ruijin waved his hand: Don't remember today's conversation, just keep it in your mind.The secretary admitted that the results of the survey were not too optimistic, and the situation of the cadre team was worrying.The masses are not satisfied, the masses are not happy!Moreover, in this short period of 28 days, a strange fire broke out by the Guangming Lake in Jingzhou, and the notorious "September 16" incident occurred.Hou Liangping interjected that he also saw the live video in Kunming that night.Sha Ruijin patted the armrest of the sofa: So the notoriety spread far and wide!And a corrupt deputy mayor ran away!This is the meeting gift they gave us!OK, you're welcome, we'll take it all...

Hou Liangping felt that the leader of the Provincial Party Committee had a very personal character, and he spoke casually without losing principle, which easily made people feel close and trustworthy.Hou Liangping likes to read martial arts novels in his free time, and Secretary Sha is like a master born in the world, holding a branch is an invincible weapon.More importantly, the leader's words conveyed a message, and Hou Liang understood that they were a kind of people with the same family and country feelings. Ji Changming was obviously left out, which made Hou Liangping slightly uneasy.Sha Ruijin continued, cutting to the point - the leader of the Supreme Procuratorate discussed with him to send an acting director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.Comrade Secretary expressed his gratitude, and offered to propose that instead of acting as the director general, let him be the director!

Only then did Hou Liangping realize that his director was actually decided by this strange provincial Party committee leader who had never met before him, and he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.According to internal unwritten regulations, central departmental cadres are generally not assigned high positions. It is an exception for him, the director of the investigation department of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, to be the acting director of the province, let alone the director of the bureau and a member of the party group of the procuratorate. Sha Ruijin said solemnly: Comrade Liangping, today, on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, I would like to extend my sincere welcome to you to serve in the Provincial Procuratorate.Hou Liangping stood up emotionally: Secretary Sha, thank you and the Provincial Party Committee for trusting me.Sha Ruijin waved his hand and pressed down.Sit down, Comrade Liangping, sit down! Only then did Sha Ruijin notice Ji Changming's existence, and included Ji Changming in the conversation.The Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee sent a few words to the Chief Prosecutor and the Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.The first sentence is that the anti-corruption work will not be capped from now on.What does that mean?That is, no matter who is involved in the corruption issue, no matter what level of cadre he is, we must investigate it to the end.What should I do if I exceed the authority?Report to the Provincial Party Committee, ask the Central Committee to investigate and deal with it!Ji Changming and Hou Liangping took notebooks to record, but Sha Ruijin did not stop them.The second sentence is that there is no guarantee of bottom line.Tigers want to be beaten, and flies are also swatted.Although flies are small, they are disgusting. They also spread diseases and affect the social atmosphere, so there is no such thing.The third sentence is to intensify efforts to catch current corruption crimes, but also cannot let go of historical problems and existing corruption.As long as he is corrupt, we must investigate to the end.If the evidence is solid, it must be investigated according to law.There is no such thing as a safe landing!I don't care which gang he is, what kind of people on the hills! Hou Liangping's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of what Ji Changming said on the way here.It seems that Sha Ruijin's 28-day investigation was not in vain. The secretary of the Provincial Party Committee already knew the state of the hilltop gangs in the official circles of H Province.I have to pay attention to this problem, and I have to separate my feelings for the teachers and classmates of the Department of Political Science and Law of H University from my work, and I must not make such political mistakes. It was past eleven o'clock at night when we returned from the conversation.Hou Liang lay flat on the soft Simmons bed in the guest house of the Provincial Procuratorate, unable to fall asleep for a long time, and the image of Sha Ruijin always appeared in front of his eyes.That round, slightly chubby face and those wise and firm eyes gave him a sense of stability and made him feel dependable.However, the conversation also revealed some worries.Obviously, Sha Ruijin is not satisfied with the status quo of the provincial cadres.Sha Ruijin made an exception to meet him and talked to him on behalf of the provincial party committee, not only to express his support and expectations for his work, but also perhaps as a strong political signal, a signal to deter corrupt cadres.Comrade Sha Ruijin, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, may just want everyone to know that he now has a sharp sword called Hou Liangping in his hand!With the support of a leader, he can do his job easily. Cai Chenggong's panicked face appeared in the darkness in time.How much evidence does this young man have?It is said that Li Dakang's wife Ouyang Jing took two million bribes, is it reliable?Li Dakang is not an ordinary person. He is not only the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, but also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. If Li Dakang is really pointed at, it will be a blockbuster thrown at the political circles of the province.Chen Hai's car accident may be related to this.Cai Chenggong is now protected in the guest house of the Public Security Bureau, so the market should be open, right?Hou Liangping hoped to seize this thread, sort out the mess in Jingzhou, and fight a good fight at first.
