Erle made a call to Xiao Ding's tattoo, but he hesitated for a while before he finally dialed it."

Today he came to work in the bureau in the morning, originally in the bureau after arranging the work, then went to the Dingqing District Public Security Bureau to inspect the implementation of the recent anti-gambling special action, the road was very smooth, and even he stayed in the Dingqing District Bureau, and some of the old subordinates had lunch in Dingqing District.

But from the afternoon onwards, things started to get a little worse. For example, a deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce surnamed Zeng called him to "chat" with him, and after a while, he mentioned that he had a cousin who was arrested for playing cards. Asked if it could be released immediately. Of course, there are also some meanings that the two sides can be closer and closer, and there is no need to say much about this.

Gu Le asked Deputy Director Zeng, where did your cousin play cards, and how could he be arrested? Don't you know that the city government has been banning gambling recently?

Director Zeng thought that Gu Le was talking about the scene, and he didn't pay attention to it, so he said about his cousin's situation, first said that his cousin is this, people, don't read much, usually don't watch any news, and don't know that gambling is banned recently, go to other people's teahouses to play cards, I don't know why I was arrested by the Tingjiang Branch at noon today, and now the Tingjiang Branch still refuses to let people go.

Gu Le frowned, and asked Director Zeng, your brother is playing cards in the teahouse. Now you will definitely be caught during the gambling ban, but how big a card is played, and you still don't let go?

As soon as Director Zeng heard Gu Le talk about this, he began to sue the Tingjiang Branch, saying that he was arrested for just beating 20 yuan and "turning three skins", and not only had to pay a fine. And he also has to be detained, in fact, Gu Le sounded, Director Zeng said, detention itself is nothing. The problem is that after he personally called the Tingjiang branch. The Tingjiang Branch actually did not give face, and still said that it would be detained for 48 hours in accordance with the regulations and then see how it was handled.

Gu Le frowned when he heard "turning three skins", turning three skins is Lang Liu's special name, but how to gamble, he is not too clear, he only knows that this thing wins and loses very big, such as twenty yuan of three skins, bad luck can lose thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in one night, and Director Zeng's cousin is playing cards in the teahouse, playing such a big card, it must be characterized as participating in crowd gambling, and it is natural to be caught. So I asked Director Zeng, how much is the fine, and have you paid it?

Gu Le is not an absolutely unsentimental person, where can this kind of person who is absolutely unsentimental get along now? When he asked this, he actually wanted Director Zeng and his cousin to pay the fine. Give him another accommodating and put it back in advance.

But when Director Zeng heard this, he fell silent. Then he laughed and said, "Hehe, Director Gu is really iron-faced and selfless, Zeng Qichang has learned it." Then he hung up.

Gu Le was also annoyed in his heart. Mayor Xiao is so tightly involved in the work of banning gambling, and your brother gambles so much, after being arrested, he still wants me to come forward and release you directly? Who do you think you are?

But the problem is that after Director Zeng, a few more people who can talk to Gu Le called. have interceded for one of their relatives. Gu Le thought that it was just that this blow was too big, so so many people were involved, but gradually from the mouths of these intercessors, Gu Le showed a not very good situation: these people seemed to be arrested in the same place. Not only that, but some of these people who were arrested were just cousins and cousins of the begging lovers, and some were simply brothers and sisters or even wives and sons.

At this moment, Gu Le felt that something was wrong.

He immediately called the Tingjiang Branch and asked Director He Qihua of the Tingjiang Branch to understand the situation. "Qihua, you guys are gambling today. Where did I get it, why did so many people call me? ”

Unexpectedly, He Qihua received a call from Gu Le, but he was wronged, he said: "Gu Ju, I really can't help it." Today, the person who came to our Tingjiang Branch to supervise is Captain Yan of the Economic Investigation Detachment, this Chongsheng Teahouse, I said a long time ago that you can't move lightly, but Captain Yan didn't listen, saying that Mayor Xiao said that gambling is prohibited in the city, and gambling should be banned in the whole city, and no place can be an exception, and I dare not cooperate, so I have to arrest it, right? This grasp "Alas, that really stabbed a hornet's nest, one of them, all of them are "royal relatives, ah, I was thinking, education." I'll let him go.

However, Captain Yan disagreed, saying that it was such a large-scale and high-priced crowd gambling, and the people involved were all leaders of some important organs and their families. The impact is extremely bad" said that this is not grasped. Our ban on gambling is just an empty word, if you want to catch it, you must start with this group of people! , and then the matter, Gu Ju must have known about it. I can only do this according to the instructions of the supervision team of the city bureau, alas. ”

Gu Le didn't expect that the situation actually involved Yan Weiyu, "Captain Yan of the Economic Investigation Detachment." Who else could there be besides Yan Weiyu? However, Gu Le didn't understand, why did this group of people get together so well, and they all went to this Chongsheng teahouse to play cards?

"Chongsheng Teahouse? What is the origin?? Gu Le couldn't help but ask.

"Gu Ju doesn't know?" He Qihua was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Gu Le to know, but he quickly reacted and said, "Oh, the owner of this teahouse is Zhao Lin."

Gu Le recommended: "Zhao Shuang? Zhao Shuang, secretary of the Dingqing District Party Committee? ”

"No, no, no." He Qihua said: "It is Zhao Lin, the son of Minister Zhao of the Organization Department

Gu Le understood now, this, Zhao Lin. is not Zhao Shuang, but Zhao Chong's son. He immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, Zhao Chong. He has been the head of the organization department of the municipal party committee for several years. Rumors from the outside world indicate how it is possible for Erxinpin to be promoted to deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and manage party affairs.

Gu Le hung up the phone and thought about it slightly. I called Yan Weiyu and went over.

"Rain. What's going on? ”

Waiting for Yan Weiyu to be a little noisy, she walked away a little and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"I mean, what's going on in Zhao Lin's teahouse?" Gu Le asked.

"What else could it be? Gathering crowds to gamble, the amount of gambling money is huge, and most of the gambling participants are extremely close relatives and family members of public servants of government agencies and units. The impact is very bad, according to what Xiao Ding said in the last meeting, this kind of person must be strictly grasped Yan Weiyu calmly.

Gu Le knew that there always seemed to be an inexplicable relationship between his cousin and Mayor Xiao, he originally thought that Mayor Xiao was very interesting to his cousin, but later he felt that his cousin was very interesting to Mayor Xiao, and then he felt that it seemed that both of them were a little interesting, but no matter how interesting they were. These two people were never really together. Sometimes Gu Le feels a headache when he thinks about it, especially after the last Yuanjia Highway case, Gu Le doesn't know what to say, his uncle and aunt have told him to let him talk to Weiyu, but every time he mentions this matter to Yan Weiyu, Yan Weiyu gets angry. What "Why are you so troublesome, like I can't get married?". Later, he simply said: "If you don't see it, I won't marry and make Gu Le have no temper at all."

"Then do you know Zhao Lin's identity?" Gu Le was silent for a moment and asked.

"I know, Zhao Chong's son, I knew it when he opened at the end of the year. In his teahouse, there is still a couplet written by his father. Hehe, the words of the head of the organization department of the municipal party committee are hanging there, who dares not to give face? Who doesn't want to go in and make up more, even if they lose money, it doesn't matter, what a good platform for business relationships? Do you really think I don't understand anything?. Yan Weiyu said angrily.

Gu Le frowned: "Then you still do this?"

"Why didn't I do that?" Yan Weiyu's voice was a little louder: "What am I afraid of?" ”

Gu Le had no choice but to smile bitterly, he knew that Yan Weiyu was dissatisfied with the current position of deputy head of the economic investigation detachment, not that she was dissatisfied with the position level, but that she didn't like to do this, and felt that in this position, the investigation and punishment were all very shady things, and she didn't like it. Gu Le also knows. Weiyu is a bit of a perfectionist person, so she says, "Nothing can be seen." I won't get married." To be said. She is really not afraid of Zhao Chong. This is a bit of a feeling of being desireless, and she doesn't have the heart to be promoted anyway. What's wrong with your organization minister? As for retaliation, she is not afraid, after all, her father is still the deputy secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee.

Gu Le sighed: "Xiaoyu, you, is it because of Mayor Xiao?"

"Yes, Mayor Xiao's words are very reasonable, as a member of the police force, I feel that I have a great responsibility, so I asked Mayor Xiao that day. I'm going to do it to the letter. Yan Weiyu's tone deliberately became stiff.

Gu Le sighed: "Sometimes we can still be a little smoother."

Mayor Xiao said that day that it is necessary to "further intensify the investigation and punishment, and always maintain a high-pressure situation on the participation of party members and cadres in gambling." It is necessary to conscientiously follow the requirements of the "Notice on Seriously Investigating and Dealing with Party Members and Cadres Participating in Gambling Activities" issued by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Organization Department of the Central Committee. Conscientiously implement the accountability system, and in accordance with the requirements of the "Circular", all leading cadres who participate in gambling. All leading cadres who fail to stop or investigate the problem of gambling involving party members and cadres within their direct jurisdiction, or who conceal and fail to report it, suppress and fail to investigate, as well as party members and cadres in their localities and units who repeatedly prohibit gambling should be seriously investigated and held accountable. It is necessary to strictly follow the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's "Several Regulations on Strictly Taking Advantage of Positions to Seek Illegitimate Interests" and intensify investigation and punishment. We should further strengthen the cooperation between discipline inspection and supervision organs, organization and personnel departments, and public security organs, and strengthen the governance of party members and cadres participating in gambling problems. It is necessary to grasp the typical. Party members and cadres participating in gambling are now investigated and dealt with together, and they will not be tolerated. Yan Weiyu's tone became colder and colder.

Gu Le smiled bitterly, knowing that Yan Weiyu had made up her mind about this matter. But. Gu Le was worried in his heart, if Xiao Ding knew that he was going to have such a major conflict with Minister Zhao for this matter, would he agree with Weiyu to do this?

"Then have you ever thought about Mayor Xiao, what will be the consequences of offending a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Minister of Organization? It will be given to Mayor Xiao in the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. What are the adverse effects? Have you thought about Mayor Xiao? Gu Le began to be tempted.

How do you know that Yan Weiyu said stiffly: "I always thought that Mayor Xiao was a good official."

Characteristics of the Chinese people. Good and bad are very distinct, and it seems that there are only two kinds of people: good and bad. And the same is true of officials, who are either good officials or bad officials.

Gu Le was speechless and smiled bitterly: "I'll report to Mayor Xiao first, okay." ”

Yan Weiyu did not answer. There was a beep on the phone, Gu Le shook his head, and then dialed Xiao Pet's phone.

Xiao Yin took the phone and listened to Gu Le's words quietly, without opening his mouth. Gu Le held his breath on the other end of the phone, waiting for Xiao Ke's final reply.

Finally. Xiao's deep and resolute voice sounded calmly in his ears: "Tell Comrade Yan Weiyu that Xiao will not live up to her expectations and those who believe that I am a good official."

Gu Le breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, mayor, I know what to do."

Xiao Zhen hung up the phone, and he was also full of emotions for a while. Xu Fei next to him looked at him, although he didn't frown, and there was no trace of embarrassment or distress, but she clearly felt the unrest in Xiao Zhen's heart. She leaned over gently, grabbed Xiao Zhen's hand tightly, and said, "Everything will be fine, right?" Xiao Yin glanced at her, looked at each other deeply, and finally nodded: "Yes, everything will be fine." I'm convinced

Xu Fei's gaze was a little blurry, he. It was always Xiao Zhen who didn't have any difficulties to stump.

I don't know why, but there is a layer of smoke in front of me. But he smiled: "My Xiao." That's how confident

Xiao Ke also smiled slightly and touched her show.

This time, the gambling ban was cracked down, and a big news broke out the next day, at least among the cadres of the middle and high-level organs in Langliu, which was very shocking: the "teahouse" opened by Zhao Lin, the son of Zhao Chong, the organization minister of the municipal party committee. It was seized by the Tingjiang District Public Security Bureau in accordance with the law, and more than 900,000 yuan of gambling money was confiscated on the spot, and more than 30 people involved in gambling were arrested on the spot, most of whom were "very backgrounded". Presently. It is said that Zhao Lin himself has disappeared.

Zhao Chong, head of the organization department of the municipal party committee, did not express any opinion on this matter, as if the teahouse was not opened by his son at all, as if the couplet written by him was not his handwriting at all.

In the mayor's office of the city government building, Xiao Ding looked at the couplet that was criticized horizontally as "harmony makes money". He sighed softly. Why didn't Minister Zhao look for himself? Although his words were very ordinary, so ordinary that there was not a word mentioning Zhao Lin, not a word mentioning the teahouse, and not a word mentioning the prohibition of gambling, but what he meant, how could Xiao Ding not hear it?

Zhao Chong called, but he recalled how well the two chatted on the way when Xiao Zhen first came to Langliu at the end of the ninth and third years, and he went to see Xiao off to take office; Speaking of Xiao Zhen's promotion to the secretary of the Dingqing District Party Committee, he went to announce the appointment, and Xiao Ding chatted happily with him when he was eating.

Xiao Ke knew that Zhao Chong was reminding himself not to hurt his feelings for this matter. Xiao Zhen also knows that now that Secretary Wang Wenhua has only come to Langliu, it is the time to play "unity comrades", although Xiao is also one of the winners of the last "Yang Zhangdou", this moment is the time when the future is immeasurable, and he is fully optimistic about the provincial party committee, but if he wants to maintain the right to speak in the municipal party committee, the tendency of an organization minister is still very, very important.

Xiao Ding has the support of the Minister of Organization. Then Secretary Wang Wenhua will be a little unable to let go of his hands and feet in many things, and on the contrary, Xiao Ding's right to speak will increase. And if the head of the organization becomes the echo worm of Secretary Wang Wenhua, then the secretary can almost make a decision on personnel in a word. Especially if the secretary is strong. Even if the deputy secretary in charge of party affairs opposes it, it may be ignored by the secretary. Of course. Xiao Ai served as the deputy secretary and the head of the administration. If you must insist on opposing one. The secretary still has to pay attention to personnel decisions, after all, the status of the government is still gradually improving.

But Xiao Ding did not let go, but only thanked Minister Zhao on the phone for his concern at the beginning. Then it was said that this time it was forbidden to gamble. We must strive to be well-documented and not let go of a bad person. Nor do you wronged one, good man.

Minister Zhao listened. I didn't say anything more.

Xiao Zhen didn't plan to let go of this matter. In particular, he always felt that if the common people played cards. It's just a bad pastime. Then leading cadres playing cards is not only gambling. And it's simply **. The reasons are obvious: First, it costs countless public funds. Some leading cadres often gather in hotels, tourist resorts, or secret places to fight, and many of them spend public funds to open rooms or fight in hotel boxes, and even have dinners after the fights, all of which are paid at public expense. Second, it is a good way to solicit bribes from subordinates. If it is an ordinary friend or relatives to play. It's not too much of a problem, it's just that some people take this opportunity to take bribes. Some leaders and powerful figures also regard this as a good way to solicit bribes from their subordinates and related parties. He heard a story that was widely circulated in Langliu, saying that there was a big leader and his subordinates playing mahjong. He often has secret power, and he wins and loses, and some subordinates feel strange, once. He happened to go to the bathroom, and his subordinates secretly looked at the cards he was secretly carrying, and now he has the right to carry it according to the rules, so later some people said that they couldn't carry it casually like the leader as soon as they played mahjong. Third, the best way to pay bribes to superiors. Leaders and people with power fight with subordinates and bosses, and if subordinates and bosses ask for them, they will generally release water, deliberately letting leaders and people with real power win, because this is the best way to bribe, everyone knows that leaders and people with power can also accept bribes justifiably without being investigated and punished. Fourth, obvious gambling. They are too lazy to fight without a certain amount, and often win and lose thousands of dollars in a fight, and the most is measured in 10,000 yuan, and some people play very large and obviously do not match their income, which is equivalent to money laundering. And when they don't have money, they take bribes.

"Mayor Xiao's determination to ban gambling, I understand" The Organization Department supports the work of the municipal government. Minister Zhao Chong's voice came from the phone.

But Xiao knew that the Organization Department's support for the work of the municipal government was not the same thing as whether Minister Zhao supported Mayor Xiao's work.

Putting down the phone, Xiao's face was calm. Hu Yuze looked at the indifferent face of the young mayor on the side, and somehow, his heart, which had already been washed by the "flowing water" in the agency, suddenly felt a little admired.
