Chapter 250: The Underworld Forces of Ice City
This summer is extraordinarily hot, and it is the heat of the changing method, the day is generally dry and hot, and at night it is stuffy, like a sauna, sitting motionless in the house will quickly sweat, and the air conditioner must be turned on when sleeping at night, the electric fan is not good, the more the fan is hotter.
This weather lasted for more than half a month, and finally a heavy rain was expected.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, dark clouds first covered the sky, as if it were night. Then there was thunder and lightning, and an earth-shattering momentum seemed to destroy the world completely.
I don't know if the earth had been hungry for too long, or if the sky could no longer bear the loneliness, and when all the foreshadowing was over, the rain poured down from the sky, mixed with hail, and knocked the glass on all the windows.
Xie Changshun stood in front of the window of the office and looked out, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was heavy, this was the norm since he served as the secretary of the Bingcheng Municipal Party Committee, although he had more power than he served as the secretary general of the provincial party committee, but the burden on his shoulders was also heavier, and it was a little heavier than he imagined.
To say that Xie Changshun is not without experience in the ruling party, he did a very good job when Ruchun was the secretary of the municipal party committee, but Ruchun can't be compared with Bingcheng after all. Bingcheng is not only a provincial capital, but also a sub-provincial city, far surpassing Ruchun in terms of city size, population, economy, etc., so the requirements for Xie Changshun are naturally different.
Xie Changshun is no stranger to Bingcheng, because before going to Ruchun to become the secretary of the municipal party committee, he had been the secretary of the district party committee in Pingcheng District for many years, and then served as the secretary general of the provincial party committee, and lived and worked in Bingcheng, so it can be said that he knows Bingcheng very well. It is precisely because of his understanding that he knows very well what he should do after taking office, but things in officialdom are always very complicated, and some things are not something you can do if you want to.
For some newly appointed officials, usually the biggest headache is economic development, and the superiors will also use GDP as the only assessment criterion for him. If there is no improvement, the career may come to an abrupt end.
This is not the case with Xie Changshun, the economic development of Bingcheng is good, and in the long run, there is still huge room for development. What worries him most now is the security situation in Ice City, which is, in his words, "very bad" and "extremely dark".
When it comes to Lin Jiang people, the first thing that many people will think of is that they have a rough and bold personality and are not informal. The second may be that it is ruthless, fighting is not fatal, and it is the province with the most triads, which is well-known throughout the country. The reason for this situation is actually the unique geographical location, unique climate, and some historical reasons, that is, the so-called water and soil to nurture one person.
Linjiang Province is located in the frontier, the territory is vast but the population is not large, many places spend half of the year in winter, people have to drink in order to keep out of the cold, drinking too much is naturally easy to do things out of the ordinary. After a long time, it is impossible not to have a rough and bold personality. In addition, Linjiang Province is a mountainous province, and before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were basically bandits where there were mountains. The habits of the bandits are very consistent with the character characteristics of the people of Linjiang, which makes many people think that the people of Linjiang are born with a banditry spirit, but in fact, this is caused by historical reasons.
When this banditry slowly turns into hegemony, and the law and morality are regarded as air, especially in some industries, and they begin to be bigger than their fists for the sake of profit, the so-called underworld will slowly take shape.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, criminal and evil forces were everywhere in Linjiang Province, and after the severe crackdown in the 80s, many people disappeared and retired to the rivers and lakes, and Linjiang Province also entered a period of calm. However, after entering the 90s, Linjiang Province entered a period of rampant underworld, when there was an underworld gang bullying men and women in Bingcheng, accumulating countless wealth, it can be said that it is not only the largest underworld in Bingcheng, but even the largest underworld group in Linjiang Province at that time. Due to the complaints of the people, and it happened to offend a big leader of Jingtian at that time, the underworld organization was finally dealt a fatal blow, and the leaders of the group were all killed, and then Lin Jiang entered a period of calm.
After entering the year 2000, the underworld forces in Linjiang Province seem to have shown signs of rising again, and on the surface, they have entered a brand-new legal society, which seems to be less rampant than before, but in fact it is not the case, and there are undercurrents surging in various places, but there are fewer things to fight and kill, but the collusion between the underworld and the police and officials is on the rise, and the use of public power as a protective umbrella to do illegal and criminal things has become a common means for the underworld in the new period.
In recent years, the shadow of underworld forces has appeared behind all walks of life in Bingcheng, who either use public power or violent means to monopolize, take advantage of the tricks, and make the people complain and make a living.
At present, the two industries that are most seriously affected by the underworld are real estate and entertainment venues. After Xie Changshun took office, he proposed at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee that he wanted to thoroughly rectify and crack down on the underworld forces in these two industries, but he was opposed by half of the people, and they agreed that they could not engage in the fight against the underworld, and once they were beaten, it would inevitably affect the good momentum of the current economic development of Bingcheng.
Xie Changshun is a newcomer, so it's not good to be too strong, and if the relationship is stiffened, it will be very detrimental to future work. But he didn't want to just stop it, so he secretly called someone to investigate, and it turned out that the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the various sub-bureaus below were very serious and shocking, and they had become the umbrella of the underworld. The relationship between some city leaders and the main leaders of the public security bureau is also very ambiguous, and Xie Changshun understands why he will be met with resistance when he proposes to crack down on gangsters.
In Xie Changshun's view, the current security situation in Bingcheng is like the weather before the rain, and if he wants to build Bingcheng into a safe city and ensure the safety of the lives of 10 million people in Bingcheng, he urgently needs a storm like outside the window.
However, how the wind blows and how the rain falls is a great test of political wisdom.
Xie Changshun stood in front of the window and pondered for a long time, and suddenly, his expression was resolute, his eyes were resolute, as if he had made up his mind and made a final decision on something important.
Turned around and came to the desk, picked up his mobile phone and found He Qingyi's phone and dialed it and said, "Governor He, do you have time at night?" I want to treat you to a meal. ”
After work in the evening, the rain was a little lighter, but there was no intention of stopping. Xie Changshun got into the car and said to the driver, "Go to the Green Forest Inn on Wufu Road", and the car left the compound of the municipal party committee and municipal government.
Green Forest Inn is a four-storey hotel with an antique appearance, because the main Lu cuisine, the owner Ye Zhongqian is the location of Shuibo Liangshan, so the hotel is named Green Forest Inn. Business here is very good, and you need to book in advance for dinner, otherwise there is no place at all.
The reason why Xie Changshun invited He Qingyi to eat here was because Ye Zhongqian's wife Miao Fengyi was his distant relative, and he was arranged to be ranked by generation, calling him uncle, but in fact, he was only four or five years old in age. Ye Zhongqian and Miao Fengyi are very sensible, and they usually visit the door with gifts during the New Year's holidays, but they have never asked Xie Changshun to do anything, which makes Xie Changshun a little unhappy, so he will arrange some private food invitations at the Green Forest Inn.
Every time Xie Changshun came over for dinner, Ye Zhongqian would go to the back door early to wait, and this time was no exception.
"Uncle, you're here." Ye Zhongqian opened the car door and said with a smile.
"Hey." Xie Chang complied, and then said to the driver: "You find a place to eat first, and I'll call you when you're done." ”
Xie Changshun got out of the car and followed Ye Zhongqian into the house through the back door, and went straight to the private room on the fourth floor.
About ten minutes later, He Qingyi arrived, he had been here before, so he also walked through the back door.
After the two sat down, Ye Zhongqian began to serve the food himself, and after they were all together, he said "Call me if you have something", and then withdrew.
Xie Changshun didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "Xue Fei has also worked in Tianze County for two years, and his achievements are not cheap, and he was also rated as the secretary of the National Top 100 County Party Committee by the Central Organization Department, and was received by the head of Jingtian No. 1, I think his mission in Tianze County should be completed." ”
He Qingyi naturally didn't understand the meaning of Xie Changshun's words, and asked, "Where are you going to transfer him?" ”
"Municipal Public Security Bureau."
He Qingyi was stunned, but immediately returned to normal, and his mood changed so quickly that if he didn't look closely, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
"You want him to go to the black?" He Qingyi was like a god, which surprised Xie Changshun.
Xie Changshun instinctively wanted to ask, "How do you know", but he reacted quickly, stopped himself, and swallowed the words that reached his throat again. He Qingyi is the number two person in Linjiang Province, the governor of a province, and he should know the situation of the whole province well, and he is naturally familiar with Bingcheng. What's more, he usually lives and works in Bingcheng, if he asks, it will only seem that his level is not high.
"Yes, the security situation in Bingcheng is very serious, and the Municipal Public Security Bureau seems to have become the umbrella of the underworld forces. Xue Fei's ability is undoubted, it is up to him to do this, there are only advantages and no disadvantages, it is not only a exercise, but also a very good opportunity to accumulate political capital, and the fertilizer water cannot flow into the fields of outsiders. ”
He Qingyi looked at Xie Changshun and asked, "If Xue Fei doesn't go, who are you going to use?" ”
He Qingyi's words caught Xie Changshun off guard, Xie Changshun didn't expect He Qingyi to ask such a question, he was speechless for a while, and didn't answer.
In fact, even if he could think of He Qingyi asking, he couldn't answer, because apart from Xue Fei, he had no one available.
Suddenly, Xie Changshun understood why He Qingyi asked this, it seems that he should talk more about He Qingyi in the future, try not to talk about nothing, He Qingyi doesn't seem to like words with moisture very much,
"Did you tell Xue Fei?" He Qingyi took a piece of lean meat and put it in his mouth and ate it.
"Not yet, I want to ask for your opinion first, if you agree, I think Xue Fei's side should be fine."
This point shows Xie Changshun's sophistication, although it is Xue Fei's business, he talked to He Qingyi first, not Xue Fei, because he knew that even if he found Xue Fei, he would have to say hello to He Qingyi at that time, after all, Xue Fei was He Qingyi's quasi-son-in-law, and if he didn't tell He Qingyi about the job transfer, it would be disrespectful to He Qingyi, and He Qingyi would have ideas. And Xue Fei will definitely go and tell He Qingyi, it would be better for him to tell He Qingyi first.
Xie Changshun was actually not sure that he would be able to transfer Xue Fei to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, because he really couldn't guess what He Qingyi would think about this matter. He Qingyi has always been low-key, and his low-key seems to have reached a state, not only is his mood invisible, but it is even more difficult to figure out what he is thinking in his head, the reason why he said that Xue Fei's arrival in the Municipal Public Security Bureau is all good, is that he is afraid that He Qingyi will disagree, so he deliberately chooses to say something good, but He Qingyi still doesn't like to listen, it is really weird.
"I don't agree with Xue Fei going to the Municipal Public Security Bureau." He Qingyi said expressionlessly.
"Why?" Xie Changshun frowned slightly.
"Not suitable."
"Are you worried that he's in danger? He's there to be a leader, not a charge, and you don't have to worry about his personal safety. Xie Changshun thinks that in addition to danger, what else is not suitable?
"It's as easy as you say. How much do you know about the underworld forces in Ice City? Do you know how cruel their methods are? Don't forget, Xue Fei is not a professional police officer, you let him do such an important thing as a halfway monk, why do you think he will be competent? There is a specialization in the art industry, and no one is omnipotent. ”
He Qingyi was indeed worried about Xue Fei's personal safety, a car explosion, a shooting incident by Ye Liangchen, Xue Fei was a great fortune, and he escaped the catastrophe. Now that Xie Changshun wants Xue Fei to fight the black, won't Xue Fei become the target of public criticism? If he really went, wouldn't He Miao have to worry about it every day? For He Miao's sake, he couldn't let Xue Fei go to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to work.
Xie Changshun didn't dare to agree with He Qingyi's words, and after listening to it, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "I can understand that Governor He is worried about Xue Fei's personal safety, and from my standpoint, I will definitely not worry less than Governor He, because he is like my son in my eyes." But some work has to be done by someone, and you can't back down because of danger, right? As for Governor He's saying that Xue Fei is not a professional police officer, this is true, but he can't learn it, with Xue Fei's intelligence, I believe he has no problem. Doesn't Governor He think that Xue Fei is a capable person? ”
"If you expect Xue Fei to enter the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the problem of cracking down on gangsters will be solved, then I can tell you responsibly that it will not succeed. If the underworld problem in Bingcheng were so simple, it wouldn't have been a worry for you, the secretary of the municipal party committee. Moreover, the success or failure of the fight against gangsters does not depend on whether the Municipal Public Security Bureau has someone who has you, but on how determined you are and whether you are prepared. Are you ready? Or did you put all the blockages on Xue Fei's body? ”
He Qingyi felt that Xie Changshun hadn't figured out how to fight the gang at all, but his mind was hot, he felt that he should fight, and he felt that the Municipal Public Security Bureau didn't have anyone from him, so he arranged Xue Fei to go in and handed over everything to Xue Fei to do, as long as it was done, it would definitely be done. How can it be so simple to fight the underworld, the underworld forces in Ice City are intertwined, and the situation is very complicated, and it is not something that Xue Fei can solve alone. If Xie Changshun really treats Xue Fei as his son, he shouldn't think about letting Xue Fei fight the black, how can any parent be willing to let his child take risks?
