Chapter 018 Pengcheng Fire

Zhou Zhengjiang was very annoyed by Xiao Chen's opinion, and what he had always wanted to avoid was that the Organization Department directly launched a competitor, because he knew that Yu Zhengqing was definitely not Xiao's opponent if he competed according to the way stipulated by the organization. The Xiao department has been in control of Jiangdong Province's organizational system for more than a day or two, a year or two, and the person they have launched to compete for the post of deputy secretary of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee must be perfect in terms of resume, and this is Yu Zhengqing's disadvantage.

Sure enough, Xiao Chen's proposal - of course, it was nominally Yang Yaomin who proposed this candidate, which made Zhou Zhengjiang immediately feel that something was wrong.

Who is Chen De, Zhou Zhengjiang knows very well, he is the youngest son of Chen Ruowang, the former governor of Jiangdong Province, Chen De was obtained by Chen Ruowang when he was middle-aged, because he was born in the age of moving, he suffered a lot in his childhood, and later he has been the most favored by Chen Lao, but Chen Lao's favor is favored, but it is different from doting, and he is very strict with Chen De. Later, after Chen De graduated from Xinhua University, he started from the Provincial Economic Commission, and then went out to the position of mayor of Lucheng City step by step, and then was promoted by Xiao Chen to the secretary of the Lucheng City Party Committee.

"Comrade Chen De?" Li Yuanzhuo thought for a while, and didn't say anything, just glanced around at the Standing Committee members, and asked casually, "What do you think?" ”

Zhou Zhengjiang felt that it was a bit tricky, and although it had been some years since Chen Lao had retired, Chen Lao was a vanguard leader who closely followed the call of the central authorities and vigorously promoted young cadres, and he had promoted a large number of young cadres, and many of these cadres are now a group of backbone members of Jiangdong's middle-level cadres. If Zhou Zhengjiang caused Chen Lao's disgust because of his opposition to Chen De's progress, although he didn't say that those people dared not to take his Governor Zhou seriously, but it would not be difficult for Yang Feng to violate it, not to mention that if those people voted for Secretary Li or Xiao Chen, it would be a disaster for him.

But if you don't deny it, you can't do it, you talked about it for a long time, and you slapped the table with Yang Yaomin at the secretary's meeting.

Zhou Zhengjiang had a hard time riding a tiger, so he had to say: "Comrade Chen De is a good hand in the economy, and the development of Lucheng is reaching a critical period, so I'm afraid I can't do without him for a while, right?" Zhou Zhengjiang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he does not say that Chen De is not good, but that he is "too good", so Lucheng cannot do without him, which is a manifestation of Governor Zhou's emphasis on talents.

But Xiao Chen was naturally prepared for this, and said with a smile: "The governor is right, but Comrade Wei Bō has talked to me about this, in Wucheng in recent years, there have been many good people who are engaged in the economy, and the Wucheng City Party Committee has arranged for the candidate for the secretary of the Lucheng City Party Committee." ”

Chen Wei then smiled and said: "Yes, yes, our Wucheng City Party Committee has considered this matter as a whole before, but it will not be a mistake for this, and the governor can rest assured." ”

Zhou Zhengjiang hesitated for a while, this reason was blocked back, what excuse can he find again?

But Secretary Li Yuanzhuo saw it clearly, Xiao Chen was determined to win this deputy secretary, and he was extremely well prepared, and Yu Zhengqing had no hope. So he suddenly asked: "So, with Comrade Chen De as the deputy secretary of the Pengcheng City Party Committee, do any comrades have any opinions?" …… Okay, let's vote, comrades who agree, please raise your hand. ”

Zhou Zhengjiang was very displeased, why did Secretary Li "protect" Xiao Chen so much? But Secretary Li's words have already been spoken, and Zhou Zhengjiang has no way to stop it, this is the authority of the secretary.

Brush! Brush! Brush! Brush! Brush!

Xiao Chen, Yu Kewei, Yang Yaomin, Chen Wei Bō, Zhao Jiemin...... This is already five members of the Standing Committee who have raised their hands.

Just when Zhou Zhengjiang was nervous, Gu Laishan, the political commissar of the military region, who was wearing a lieutenant general's uniform and basically did not speak at the Standing Committee meeting, raised his right hand slowly but firmly!

Six votes! Half!

Zhou Zhengjiang suddenly cooled half of his waist, and Secretary Li Yuanzhuo next to him sighed slightly and raised his hand gently. So, Jiang Songhu and Han Ping also raised their hands. Nine votes! Including the secretary of the provincial party committee!

Zhou Zhengjiang gulped a few sips of herbal tea, did not speak, and didn't even notice that Chen Zhongmin and Li Yawei looked at him ......-

One day more than a month later, when Yang Yaomin returned home, it was already 11:30 p.m.

"Have you eaten? I'll keep the food for you, and I'll go hot and hot. His wife, Jiang Xin, was watching a Korean TV series, and was scarred by the "Korean Wave", wiping her eyes and tears with the plot.

Yang Yaomin threw the briefcase onto the sofa and sat down. Seeing that his wife got up to prepare a meal for him, he hurriedly shook his head.

"I'll give it to you...... Stewed something good for you. The wife was in high spirits, and said mysteriously, insisting on giving Yang Yaomin a hot meal.

Although Yang Yaomin is a provincial leader, because he is the head of the organization department of the provincial party committee, his status is somewhat special, and he rarely participates in banquets outside of official activities, so he can basically go home for dinner every night. Yang Yaomin is strict with himself, and he has been clean and cautious for many years. The position is sensitive, and I have to be vigilant and careful everywhere.

"Yes...... It's a deer whip, I bought it at the pharmacy, and it cost more than 2,000 yuan, which cost me a month's salary. The old Chinese medicine doctor said that the effect should be good. Jiang Xin was very proud of her actions and looked complacent.

"What? Huā more than 2,000 yuan? Yang Yaomin felt distressed. He is well aware that his son is studying for university in another country, and the expenses are considerable, and the family's financial situation is stretched.

"I also know that more than 2,000 yuan is too expensive, but if you are so weak, can I not be in a hurry?" Jiang Xin said urgently. Yang Yaomin is not old and decrepit, and he has been soft but not tǐng for a long time, and tǐng is not strong, which has seriously affected the life of husband and wife. At his age, although the sex life cannot guarantee "one lesson a day", it must also guarantee "weekly magazines" and "semi-monthly talks", where is like him, even the "bimonthly" can't hold on. Jiang Xin, who is in the prime of life, how can she not be in a hurry?

"Go back, go back!" Yang Yaomin was upset and waved his hand.

"What? I've already stewed the deer whip for more than three hours, and you're going to let me return it to the pharmacy now? You don't want to think about it, can other pharmacies still accept it? You poor official, huā 2,000 yuan is like cutting off a large piece of ròu from your body. What provincial party committee leader, what powerful organization minister, just a month to die salary, reluctant to eat, reluctant to wear, how difficult life is! Look at a small township mayor and a small county magistrate, which one is not full of brains and full of pockets? Jiang Xin cried sadly as she spoke.

"What, you want me to run the power and make money wholesale black yarn hats?" Yang Yaomin was angry, "I am a wreck, a poor secretary, a poor organization minister, the surface is beautiful, and my family is living in embarrassment." Do you regret it now, marrying the wrong person? ”

Jiang Xin was a huā when she was young, and the pursuers lined up behind her. One of the rich children has a villa and a car, and as long as Jiang Xin marries, she can live a life of a rich and glorious wife with no worries about food and clothing. However, by chance, she was introduced to Yang Yaomin. At that time, Yang Yaomin was calm and steady, and the halo on his head was also dazzling - the first secretary and secretary of the provincial party committee! Jiang Xin, who graduated from Northeastern University, was shocked by Yang Yaomin's mysterious identity and his atmospheric speech and demeanor, and married Yang Yaomin without hesitation. After getting married, the novelty quickly faded, and the loneliness of staying alone in an empty house, and the busy life of three meals a day, made Jiang Xin a complete ordinary head of the family. She had to pick up vegetable baskets after work and go to the market to bargain with vendors for cheap food. After the birth of their son, in order to ensure the nutrition needed for their son's growth, she and Yang Yaomin had to cut back on food and clothing. Life was tight, and Jiang Xin accepted her fate. However, her husband is becoming more and more like a piece of wood, and the life of husband and wife has become a problem, how can Jiang Xin not be sad?

Jiang Xin was crying. Yang Yaomin also felt that his attitude was a bit excessive, and he should not bring his emotions at work back home. There is a famous saying among the organization cadres: when you walk into the office, you immediately forget the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home; When you return home, you immediately forget about the rights and wrongs of officialdom.

"Alright, alright, bring your divine soup, I'll see if it's worth it." Yang Yaomin put his arm around Jiang Xin's shoulders and coaxed her to say.

Jiang Xin burst into laughter, and quickly brought a few side dishes and two bowls of rice to the table, and then carefully took out a pot of deer whip soup with both hands and gently placed it in the center of the table.

It turned out that Jiang Xin didn't eat dinner either. She likes to meet her husband face-to-face and chat about the homely atmosphere while eating, thinking that in a strong family atmosphere, eating has a taste.

Yang Yaomin was just about to pick up the chopsticks and pick up the rice bowl to eat, but was stopped by Jiang Xin's "ah". Yang Yaomin looked at Jiang Xin suspiciously, and was shocked by her.

Jiang Xin gently picked up a bowl, filled it with deer whip soup, and said with a holy face: "Drink it before meals, the old Chinese medicine doctor said that this deer whip soup is only effective when you drink it before meals." ”

I see. Yang Yaomin took the deer whip soup, tasted it first, and felt that it tasted good, so he drank it in one go. After drinking, he handed the empty bowl to Jiang Xin and asked her to fill another bowl. Jiang Xin refused, and said seriously: "The old Chinese medicine doctor said that this soup can only be drunk once a night before dinner, and it must be drunk continuously for a while. ”

"What, drink two bowls of 'Golden Gun Don't Fall' at a time?" Yang Yaomin asked humorously.

"That'...... I don't know for sure. Anyway, if you want to cure your weakness, you have to do what the doctor says, and be meticulous. Jiang Xin said and handed the chopsticks to Yang Yaomin.

While eating, the husband and wife chatted one question and one answer. Jiang Xin asked: "Yaomin, people in society say that the cadres of your organization department are generally deficient in calcium, right?" Is it that you, who are the head of the organization, have a long-term calcium deficiency that infects everyone? ”

Yang Yaomin knew that Jiang Xin was ridiculing him. Jiang Xin teaches chemistry in a middle school, and she is also constrained in the school environment, and can only do whatever she wants at home, in front of her husband.

"As a minister, I'm too busy with work, how do I know if my colleagues are deficient in calcium? That's people's life, and it has nothing to do with work. Yang Yaomin said it solemnly, but in his heart he remembered the "small paragraph" of the people about the cadres of the Organization Department. "Xiao Duan" said that the cadres of the organization department "save their wives, pay light bulbs, lose their hair, sprinkle yellow niào, do their best, and are not pleased".

After eating, Jiang Xin cleaned up the dining table and impatiently pulled Yang Yaomin into the bedroom. Yang Yaomin sighed, knowing that he had to fulfill his obligations as a man. He didn't say anything, and passively asked Jiang Xin to undress him. Yang Yaomin, a five-foot man, often faces his passionate wife so awkwardly.

"Why is it still like a rotten eggplant, soft and soft?" Jiang Xin was not satisfied with Yang Yaomin's state, no matter how hard she tried, Yang Yaomin was still unmoved. After working hard for a long time, with the strong assistance of Jiang Xin, there was a little progress.

"Yaomin, hurry up, work hard! Move, move! Jiang Xin is pleading, begging bitterly. She took the initiative to adjust her posture and cater to it.

Yang Yaomin has worked hard, but his old friend is still not angry. He had more than enough heart but not enough strength, so he had to find an excuse: "Your money is in vain, the deer whip soup doesn't work, and it will be returned to the pharmacy tomorrow!" ”

"Don't be subjective and don't work hard, just find the reason objectively. The effect of the deer whip is gradual, slow effort, how can it be effective immediately? You're terminally ill, where can you see immediate results? I think, it's really not good, you can just take some 'Viagra', I beg you, this taste of being a widow is too uncomfortable......"

Yang Yaomin tried his best and finally coped with it. Relieved, he rolled down from Jiang Xin's body panting. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and the pain of men was unspeakable.

"Yaomin, don't blame yourself, don't be sad, as long as you lie next to me, I'll be satisfied. Don't worry, let's do what the old Chinese medicine doctor said, insist on it for a month and a half, you will be like a young man, with high morale and invincible! Jiang Xin comforted Yang Yaomin.

Jiang Xin...... You go to bed first, I still have a material to look at, and I will use it tomorrow. Yang Yaomin kissed Jiang Xin's face gently, put on his pajamas and walked to another room. He often uses such an excuse to deliberately share chuáng with Jiang Xin, afraid that his body will hug Jiang Xin and arouse her hope. Yang Yaomin really couldn't do anything but avoid it.

Jiang Xin still couldn't finish admonishing: "Yaomin, you rest early, I like you to hug me, only if you hug me, I can sleep soundly." ”

Yang Yaomin was lying on the chuáng in the other room, depressed to the extreme. What affected his mood was not only the quality of his "homework" with Jiang Xin, but more importantly, a major event that happened today, to be exact, tonight.

Today is August 13, 2005, when the fire in Pengcheng was burning, Yue Qinglan was reporting to the home of Chen Zhili, director of the Municipal People's Congress. It's not that she wants to report, it's that Chen Zhili wants to find her to understand the situation. Yue Qinglan remembered that she went to Chen's house after dinner, and the time was about seven o'clock in the evening. Yue Qinglan walked on the pebble path to the small building in the swaying bamboo shadow, and saw Chen Zhili grinding ink next to the large bookcase in the living room downstairs. When I entered the door, I smelled a faint scent of ink.

Chen Zhili saw that Yue Qinglan had arrived, but he still didn't leave the bookcase, and after a few words of greeting with Yue Qinglan, he spread out the rice paper and practiced calligraphy. It is Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong", one of Chen Zhili's favorite poems and essays, and Yue Qinglan has seen it on many occasions. At that time, before the huge disaster came, Yue Qinglan was in a good mood, so she stood aside and admired it, and joked with Chen Zhili: "Old secretary, after so many years, you are still strong?" ”

Chen Zhili laughed at himself and said: "What is Zhuang Huai? Qinglan, I'm a white boy now, empty and sad! ”

Yue Qinglan said with a smile: "Look at what you said, you are now highly respected!" Hey, what's the instructions for me? ”

Chen Zhili said as he wrote: "Where did I get so many instructions? Just ask you to ventilate! At that time, the atmosphere was relaxed, and Chen Zhili's tone was very casual, however, the tone of the tone was meaningful.

Chen Zhili first talked about Cui Linchu, a petitioner professional: "Qinglan, Cui Linchu is now 'working' at the Letters and Visits Office of our National People's Congress, and he stopped my car a few days ago and asked the National People's Congress to intervene in his bankruptcy lawsuit. Cui Linchu is a typical example of getting rich for a comrade when he was mayor, and the case was decided by the court, how can our people's congress intervene? You can't let Cui Lin go to the provincial capital to find a comrade, right? Comrade Ke is now the executive vice governor! Qinglan, your procuratorate needs to do more work in legal supervision, and see if the court's judgment is reasonable? ”

Yue Qinglan couldn't help but feel numb in her scalp for a while, and immediately thought: Shouldn't the old leader in front of him want to show the appearance of his former partner Yu Keke? When Chen Zhili was the secretary of the municipal party committee, he had a discord with Mayor Yu Ke, and Yue Qinglan knew it. It is said that when she was nominated to be the chief prosecutor, Yu Ke tactfully resisted it at the Standing Committee, but Chen Zhili did not buy it. In the eyes of many cadres and masses in Pengcheng, she is a person on Chen Zhili's line. However, Tianli conscience, before this, Chen Zhili had never said much to her outside of work, let alone any emotional envelopment, the old leader gave her the impression that she was old, fair and peaceful. Except for important cadre personnel arrangements, they generally do not insist on anything. Yu Ke is just the opposite, full of vigor and vigor, and is recognized as a pioneering cadre with courage. It is an indisputable fact that the mayor is strong and the secretary is weak. Because of this, Yu Ke was promoted to the top of the rules, first as vice governor, and soon entered the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and became the executive vice governor. It is said that Chen Zhili was not convinced.

Cui Linchu's matter Yue Qinglan also knew that there had been a lot of speculation on newspapers and TV for a while. Cui Linchu made a way to get rich by raising rabbits, and lived in a large villa worth millions, which attracted Yu Ke's attention. Yu Ke came forward to catch this model, and after reporting to the province, he invited a group of county magistrates and county party secretaries from underdeveloped areas to Cui Linchu's rabbit farm for an on-site meeting. The loan was also approved by Yu Wei personally, and the Municipal Agricultural Bank had to handle it on a special basis, and the Municipal Agricultural Bank would also do a special job. Afterwards, there were so many rabbits in the Pengcheng area that it became a disaster, and the price plummeted, and it was reasonable for Cui Linchu to go bankrupt. The Municipal Agricultural Bank went to the court to sue for debt collection, and it was actually normal for the court to seize Cui Linchu's property.

Yue Qinglan felt that Chen Zhili didn't need to do anything about this kind of thing, his strength was too small! But he didn't say much, let alone persuade him, but he said that he would definitely take the time to ask in person, and jokingly said: "Old secretary, you tell Cui Linchu that he won't bother you, and he will go to our procuratorate's petition office to 'work' in the future!" ”

Chen Zhili's style is to point to the point. Cui Linchu didn't talk about it, after writing "Man Jianghong", he casually grinded the ink, and talked about another case: "There is also the matter of the mining area public security bureau collecting stolen cars, which was also reported to our people's congress." Qinglan, I can make it clear to you: This is not an anonymous letter, it is all with names and surnames, and I have forwarded them to your procuratorate for several letters. Did you see it, Inspector General? What's the point? ”

Yue Qinglan said cautiously: "We have already issued a notice of filing a case to the public security organs. After that, he added, "The crime of purchasing stolen goods is not within the jurisdiction of our procuratorate, and it should be filed and investigated by the public security organs!" ”

Chen Zhili spread the paper on the bookcase, and said sarcastically: "Okay, ah? Let them correct themselves! ”

Yue Qinglan heard Chen Zhili's dissatisfaction and explained: "Old secretary, we attach great importance to your instructions, and I have also arranged for the mining area procuratorate: although the public security organs will file a case for investigation and punishment, we will supervise it to the end!" ”

Chen Zhili nodded unhappily: "Okay, Qinglan, I hope you will supervise well, the nature of this matter is very bad!" What does our Public Security Bureau do? Handle the case and catch the thief, it's good now, get involved with a group of car thieves, people steal cars, they collect cars! What a face for our law enforcement agencies! How did Jiang Yunjin, the director of public security, become the director? Is it really a police family? If this is the case, the slogan at the door of his public security bureau will have to be changed, don't unite the police and the people as a family, change it to the police and bandits unite like a family! 'The police and bandits are united as a family, try to see who can be the enemy in the world'! ”

Yue Qinglan was shocked in her heart, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, old secretary, this ...... That's a big deal, right? ”

Chen Zhili waved his hand, continued to speak, and said more and more clearly: "Comrade Qinglan, you have to be vigilant against Jiang Yunjin, now you can see more clearly, this comrade has a relatively poor character, has no principles, lacks party spirit, and lacks the concept of the legal system, I am afraid that it is a mistake to put him in the position of the director of the city public security bureau, and it is a hidden danger that can be left for comrades!" ”

Yue Qinglan really didn't expect that on the disaster night when the fire was about to burn, Chen Zhili, the former secretary of the municipal party committee, would comment on a public security chief he had promoted, and confide in her heart-to-heart, which is rare if not unique in Chen Zhili's political career, this is not Chen Zhili's style.

Chen Zhili kept a calm face and continued: "Qinglan, there are some things I can't help but say today: the biggest mistake I made before leaving the post of secretary of the municipal party committee was to use this director of public security. He is a name that can be mentioned for comrades. Everyone knows the relationship between Jiang Yunjin and Comrade Ke Ke, and Comrade Ke wanted Jiang Yunjin to be the chief prosecutor in 02, but I resisted it and insisted on using you. After Director Zheng was transferred to the Provincial Public Security Department last year, Comrade Kewei remembered Jiang Yunjin again, and when I was about to step down from the post of secretary of the municipal party committee, I didn't insist anymore, and I made such a historic mistake! ”

Yue Qinglan smiled and persuaded tactfully: "Old secretary, don't say what historical mistakes are, Jiang Yunjin has done a good job in general, and he still has a lot of respect for your old leader and Ke Wei Vice Governor......

Chen Zhili smiled self-deprecatingly: "Respect? He respects Yu Ke, not me! I'm out of play, I can't go up, this villain wants me to look good! Have you heard of it? People want to handle my Xiaolin's gang-related case! ”

Yue Qinglan suddenly realized: It seems that the real purpose of the old leader looking for her to understand the situation is his son's problem!

There are many opinions in the society about Chen Zhili's youngest son, Chen Xiaolin, some say that Chen Xiaolin is collecting money everywhere under the banner of Chen Zhili, some say that Chen Xiaolin relied on the protection of his Lao Tzu and made a fortune by cheating on taxes, and some say that Chen Xiaolin is a second-pole who uses as a gun for others and does not make a fortune...... Anyway, there's everything to say. However, Yue Qinglan has been the chief prosecutor for four years, but she has not seen Chen Xiaolin's case transferred over, and it is the first time she has heard of gangsterism.

Yue Qinglan said: "Old secretary, I tell you responsibly: This case has not been sent by the Public Security Bureau yet. ”

Chen Zhili said gloomily: "If the Public Security Bureau is transferred, you and the procuratorate will handle it according to the law, how to prosecute and how to prosecute, no one in Pengcheng City has the privilege of exceeding the law!" However, there is one thing I have to say before: it is not so easy for anyone who wants to use those bad things of Xiaolin as my article! He couldn't help but move again, "The collusion between the police and bandits to collect stolen cars is not called gang-related, and Chen Xiaolin is involved in gangsters when he does some small business, so let's sweep away the gang." Ah, sweep it thoroughly! ”

Yue Qinglan wanted to persuade Chen Zhili to say a few words and let the old leader take care of his son, but at this moment, the phone rang, and it was a secretary general of the duty room of the Municipal People's Congress who called, saying that there was a huge fire in the Golden Age Entertainment City at No. 44 Jiefang Road, and the scene was full of húnluàn, and the casualties were very serious. When Chen Zhili heard this, he was anxious, and asked the duty room for a car on the phone. Yue Qinglan remembered that her car was parked outside the door, so she asked Chen Zhili not to wait and take her own car.

When she went out with Chen Zhili, Yue Qinglan looked at her watch: twenty-one and twenty o'clock.

As soon as I stepped out of the gate, I saw a burst of fire that tore through the night. The Golden Age Entertainment City on fire is located in the center of the city, and the dormitory area of the municipal party committee is in the west of the city, with an interval of three or four kilometers, and the fire is still so shocking, as if a round of sun fell down out of thin air. Chen Zhili was very anxious, and after getting into the car, he urged him to drive without closing the door, and then kept making calls with his mobile phone, first calling the municipal fǔ duty room, and learning that the secretary general on duty had arrived at the scene, and then called the scene.

The secretary general on duty of the municipal fǔ made a preliminary report to Chen Zhili on the phone, saying that the situation at the scene was very bad, the fire was very large, poisonous gases were everywhere, and about hundreds of people were trapped and died in the Golden Age Entertainment City, and the consequences were expected to be extremely serious. What's worse is that the road in the Jiefang Road business area is narrow, and the fire truck can't drive into it at all......

Chen Zhili screamed into his mobile phone: "Don't say so much, save people, the most important thing now is to save people!" ”

The secretary general on duty said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, Director Chen, it has already been done, the first batch of wounded and dead people have been snatched out, and now ...... Now there are more than eighty dead people still being carried out......"

Yue Qinglan felt that the problem was very serious at that time, no matter how the fire happened, it happened anyway, and future public prosecution was inevitable. Out of professional sensitivity, Yue Qinglan immediately thought of collecting and fixing evidence at the scene. Past experience in handling cases has proved that at such a moment, the original evidence that can prove the truth of the case can easily be shifted or even disappeared. So, at the same time as Chen Zhili was calling, Yue Qinglan also picked up her mobile phone and made a nervous call, found her deputy procurator general Zhang Xi Chūn and Chen Bō, and asked them to immediately take people to the scene of the fire and stand by.

At the same time, their Santana sedan with a police sign pulled its siren and rushed left and right, all the way to the wild.

As the wheels spun rapidly, the fire grew closer and brighter, first flickering in the sky high and then struggling out of the gaps in the tall buildings, illuminating the road in front of the car. Yue Qinglan noticed that when their police car passed all the way, there were constantly firetrucks whistling, rushing to Jiefang Road from several directions......

On August 13, 2005, Yu Ke, member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and executive vice governor of the Communist Party of China, inspected the city in Hong Kong. On the way back to the provincial capital from Gangcheng, Yu Kewei quietly got off the bus in Hefu, a poverty-stricken county under Pengcheng, to learn about the construction of Hope Primary School in Hefu Town. In advance, Yu Ke specially explained to the secretary Xiaoduan: This matter cannot be publicized, do not greet the leaders of Pengcheng, and do not settle in Pengcheng that night, and go to Hefu Town to see Hope Primary School.

Unexpectedly, the leaders of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee did not come, and the leaders of the Hefu County Party Committee did not come, and all of them came, standing in front of the boundary monument to greet them, and a large row of various cars were parked on the side of the road. After entering the town, he also held a welcome ceremony that made Yu Ke cry and laugh. Yu Kewei endured it at first, but when he saw the children sweating in the sun, he finally couldn't help it, and pulled down his face to criticize: "What's the matter with you comrades?" I can't grasp the economy and run to a well-off life, and I am familiar with this kind of formalistic thing! Let me stress again today: this kind of formalism cannot be done again! I can't control others, I'll just say myself, I'll come back next time, what should you do, don't be so bluffing, blowing, blowing, and fighting, let alone engaging in any realm to welcome the world, you are not tired, I am tired! ”

Wang Jincheng, secretary of the county party committee, was not angry after being reprimanded, and explained with a vivid smile: "Governor Yu, isn't the situation special this time, our Hefu is your hometown, and you have such feelings for your hometown, and you donated 610,000 yuan to help build a hope primary school in our town, and the cadres and masses in our hometown are ...... You have to do something! ”

Hearing this, Yu Ke was unhappy again: the 610,000 yuan was a gift money sent by some cadres in the provincial capital and Pengcheng City when his daughter got married. So, he criticized Secretary Wang by name and said: "Wang Jincheng, how many times have I told you? Why don't you change your mind? Did I donate the 610,000? As a national civil servant, where did I get these 610,000? This was donated by some comrades in Pengcheng and the provincial capital, and I just got through it! ”

Accompanied by Wang Jincheng and others, he walked into the new three-story teaching building of Hope Primary School, looking at the bright doors and windows, brand-new tables and chairs, and Yu Ke had a smile on his face: It can be seen that Wang Jincheng, the secretary of the county party committee, is still doing his best, and the donation of 610,000 yuan is really practical in education, and it is estimated that the county and the town have posted some money, which is good. After the money was donated, Yu Ke was afraid that Wang Jincheng and the little bureaucrats would divert it for other purposes. When he was the mayor of Pengcheng, Yu Ke learned Wang Jincheng once, it seems that in 1997, Wang Jincheng came to report that a great Qin tomb was found in Hefu, which was very precious, and said that the national and provincial cultural relics bureaus would give money to protect it, and the premise was that the city also had to support the bleeding, so he approved 200,000 yuan from the mayor's fund. Not only the 200,000 yuan in the city, the 150,000 yuan in the province, and even the 300,000 yuan in the State Administration of Cultural Heritage were almost all paid, so that the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the province never allocated a penny to Pengcheng City for the protection of cultural relics.

Wang Jincheng also seemed to see the purpose of Yu Ke's trip, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Governor Yu, I know that you still don't worry about me when you come this time, for fear that we will borrow this money again, in fact, how dare we!" No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you can't be in the middle school, besides, we are looking forward to donating a hope middle school to you next time! ”

Yu Ke couldn't cry and laughed: "Wang Jincheng, you know, I'm just such a daughter, and I won't go back!" After saying this, he sighed again, "Yes, business, let them donate money for education, cry to me one by one, my daughter got married, I was not invited or invited, all of them arrived, they couldn't leave, they were all generous!" ”

Wang Jincheng said: "It's a bad thing to a good thing, and lo and behold, the children have such a good place to go to school!" ”

Yu Ke looked at the new school building in front of him with his arms crossed, pondered, and said without worry: "Looking at this matter in isolation, maybe it is a bad thing to turn into a good thing, but in connection with the current social atmosphere, the problem is more serious!" Is this a normal human relationship? I don't think it's a disguised power-for-money transaction! I'm not the executive vice governor, and there must not be so many people running to join in the fun! So, you all give me caution, don't get into trouble with the issue of integrity! Secretary Xiao, that's a person who doesn't have sand in his eyes! ”

Wang Jincheng replied again and again: "Yes, yes, we have always been relatively tight in terms of clean government. ”

Yu Ke earnestly admonished: "It is one thing to grasp the organization well, and it is another thing to do it yourself. I know that it is very difficult to really do a good job of clean government. Under the conditions of market economy, the power in your hands may become a commodity, as long as you have the power in your hands, you don't want to look for money, and the money will come to you on its own initiative. What to do? I have three lessons here, I might as well talk about them: one is to refuse, two is to give back, and three is to donate. The results of practice have proved that there is still some effect! ”

Wang Jincheng flattered: "That's why our Pengcheng cadres said that you know the national conditions of China better than Comrade Chen Zhili!" ”

Yu Ke remembered his old partner in the past: "Oh, how is Lao Chen doing this time?" Are you feeling okay? ”

Wang Jincheng squeezed his eyes and said meaningfully: "What's good? The prison sāo is big, and there is no less damage to you behind it! ”

Yu Ke knew that his distant cousin had poor official luck, and he was transferred to be the secretary of the county party committee for eight years, and he never mentioned it at the deputy municipal level, and he had a great opinion on Chen Zhili, the former secretary of the municipal party committee. When he was the mayor of Pengcheng, Wang Jincheng once came to him and sent his resume. He was embarrassed and promised to help, but he didn't say anything for Wang Jincheng at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee that studied the cadre issue on the next two occasions, and he didn't say anything until he was transferred from Pengcheng. Wang Jincheng didn't know what to do, so he took this bad account to Chen Zhili as a matter of course, and seized the opportunity to attack Chen Zhili.

At this moment, Wang Jincheng leaned his bald head over again, and his voice was much lowered: "Governor Yu, have you heard?" Chen Zhili is instigating Cui Linchu, who raises rabbits, to come to the provincial capital to find you. I also said that this typical example of getting rich was caught by you personally, and Cui Linchu's big villa was built with your support, so you should sell the villa to you and let you repay the loan for him! ”

Yu Keke's heart was very hot, but he was smiling on his face, and his tone was also very relaxed: "Okay, don't be my executive vice governor, let's raise rabbits with Cui Linchu!" As soon as the words came out, he was worried that he would be used by Wang Jincheng's gang if he accidentally spoke out, so he decisively ended the topic, and said to Wang Jincheng without sorrow, "Don't spread these unfounded words, I don't think Lao Chen will be so unlevel!" When it's convenient, say hello to Lao Chen on my behalf, and say that I miss him! ”

Wang Jincheng saw that the signs were wrong, swallowed back the words that fanned the flames, and talked about something else.

After seeing Hope Primary School, he was going to rush back to the provincial capital immediately, but Wang Jincheng didn't agree, and he had to have a light meal. After all, it is his hometown, Yu Kewei is not good and does not give face, but he is afraid that Wang Jincheng will chatter endlessly to "report work", so he said: "Then hurry up and start a meal, eat simply, according to Secretary Xiao's recent promotion of Wucheng's experience in the clean government stove system, my level of dining is the standard of twenty yuan...... Oh, twenty-two dollars, can't overspend, I brought change, and I ate in a hurry! ”

Wang Jincheng responded again and again: "Okay, okay, Governor Yu, then let's be simple, try to be as simple as possible!" ”

Go to the small dining room of the county party committee guest house and sit down to see, it is not simple, jī fish ròu eggs on a big table, big bowls and large plates are colorful, two or three layers up and down, cold and hot come up together, the whole land old wealth is treated. Yu Ke immediately came to a conclusion: Hefu County has been underdeveloped in recent years, not only economically, but also in all aspects, and these petty bureaucrats can't create a level if they want to. The wine is good wine, Wuliangye, but Yu Kewei dares to judge that it is fake wine without drinking it. When he was the mayor of Pengcheng, the fake Wuliangye produced in Hefu pit him more than once.

Sitting at the table, it is not okay not to eat, Yu Ke, as the executive vice governor, had to comply with the national conditions again, ate hard, and asked the secretary Xiaoduan to ask the price, he can't break Secretary Xiao's rules, and the "share" of eating more must be written down to give money. Wang Jincheng and the cadres of Hefu toasted, and Yu Kewei did not drink a sip, and only used mineral water to cope. Wang Jincheng confessed that this Wuliangye was absolutely real, and the director of the office personally went to the city store to buy it. Yu Ke still doesn't drink, but he doesn't object to the petty bureaucrats who accompany the guests to drink. When the little bureaucrats saw Yu Ke's attitude, they didn't dare to drink it, and they sat upright one by one, like a gentleman. Yu Ke smiled and said that the wine was opened, and it would be a matter of time if you didn't drink it, so if you can drink it, you should drink it. Everyone looked at his face and drank carefully.

Yu Ke knew in his heart, so he stopped them first: "Hey, Jin Cheng, eating is eating, don't talk about work today." ”

If you don't talk about work, you can make a fool of yourself. The female county magistrate took the lead in touting Yu Ke as honest, upright and approachable. Wang Jincheng took over the conversation and expressed infinite emotion, describing the deep nostalgia of the cadres and masses of Pengcheng City for Yu Keke. Yu Wei naturally talked about Chen Zhili, the former secretary of the municipal party committee, and his disrespectful words to Chen Zhili quickly overflowed the table. A deputy secretary of the county party committee in charge of politics and law also talked about Chen Zhili's youngest son, Chen Xiaolin's involvement in organized crime, and he looked gloating.

Yu Ke didn't want to have a seizure, but then he couldn't listen to it anymore, his face pulled, and he put down his chopsticks heavily.

Just such an action immediately eliminated an emotion at the wine table, and the majesty of power should not be underestimated.

When he picked up the chopsticks again to eat, Yu Ke said solemnly: "Hefu is my hometown, I don't want to hear any slander against Comrade Chen Zhili in my hometown, I don't care what your motives are!" When Comrade Chen Zhili and I were in the team, there were some misunderstandings and unpleasantness, but they are all over! As for the question of his son, everyone should talk less about it, let alone gloat! Behold, if you do not pay attention, this will happen to you! ”

After eating, Yu Ke asked for a hundred yuan from the secretary and put it on the table: "Today's simple things are complicated for you again, please pay consciously for wine and food, one hundred for each person here, we are considered AA system!" This meal exceeds the standard of the clean government stove, and if I go back, I will be 'shaved' by Secretary Xiao, you will remember it in the future, don't hurt me again! ”

This was too unexpected, and it was too faceless for everyone, Wang Jincheng, the female county magistrate and a room of people were all stunned.

After a long time, Wang Jincheng was the first to react: "Okay, okay, let's ...... We will do as Governor Yu instructs! "Anyway, let the director of the office collect money from everyone, and he paid a hundred yuan first. When he took out the money, he complained to Yu Keke, "Governor Yu, actually, you know, this ...... This is also our national situation in China! ”

Yu Ke's face was blue, and his words were blunt: "I am not ready to adapt to this kind of national situation, and if I continue to adapt to it, there is no hope for your Hefu!" The finances are upside down, you are still so extravagant, what do the people think? What's the impact? Secretary Xiao repeatedly reiterated that the clean government stove system is doing well in Wucheng, what are the cadres in Wucheng now, can't you do it? It seemed that it was a bit excessive, and when he walked to the door, he softened his tone and said to Wang Jincheng, "Jin Cheng, I have a suggestion for you, the rich man: don't take the chilled shrimp to fry it in the future, that is, eat it on ice!" ”

Wang Jincheng was stunned, and replied casually: "Okay, okay, Governor Yu, then let's eat ice in the future!" ”

Yu Ke patted Wang Jincheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Jin Cheng, let's not eat, I'll come back in the future, just get some wild vegetables or something to eat, like not long ago I went to Wucheng with Secretary Xiao, he invited me to eat wild celery fried ròu in a farmhouse, ten yuan a piece, that's called delicious, and it saves money and has a unique flavor, isn't it better than making it so blind?!" Even if you and your comrades are pitiful, don't make me like this, you pay 100 yuan at a time, and my salary is not 200 a day, if I eat two meals a day, my economy will have negative growth, then I can't pay the account to your cousin! ”

When they got on the bus at the door of the county party committee's guest house, Wang Jincheng and a group of petty bureaucrats also got into their respective cars one by one.

Yu Ke saw it and deliberately asked, "Hey, what?" Jin Cheng, you also go back to the provincial capital with me? ”

Wang Jincheng was a little embarrassed: "Send it to the leaders of your provincial party committee." We...... We're just sending ......."

Yu Ke waved his hand: "No need, don't make the world welcome the world, let's start this time!" ”

When I left Hafu, it was 20:50, less than 15 minutes before the fire started. Yu Ke remembered: After the secretary Xiaoduan got into the car, he told him this time, and he would definitely arrive at the provincial capital within four hours of getting on the highway. This memory should not be wrong. That night, if Wang Jincheng hadn't complicated things, if he hadn't stayed in Hefu for this complicated dinner, his car might have entered the provincial capital when the fire alarm in Pengcheng came.

When Yu Ke's special car drove through the Pengcheng section of the expressway, which was still more than 350 kilometers away from the provincial capital, it was not Pengcheng City, but the provincial government fǔ duty room who called and reported to him the serious fire situation. At that time, the situation in the provincial government duty room was unknown, and the number of deaths reported was 117.

Yu Ke was extremely shocked, like eating a slap from someone out of thin air: such a big accident, whether as the executive vice governor who temporarily presided over the overall work, or as the former mayor of Pengcheng, he has an unshirkable responsibility!

The advance in the direction of the provincial capital came to an abrupt halt, and Yu Kewei asked the driver to park the car on the side of the road, and immediately used his mobile phone to contact Li Yuanzhuo, the secretary of the provincial party committee, and Governor Zhou. Secretary Li Yuanzhuo and Governor Zhou are not at home these days. Governor Zhou held a national economic work conference in Beijing, and Li Yuanzhuo led a party and government delegation from Jiangdong Province to the East the day before yesterday.

Fortunately, the mobile phones of these two party and government leaders were not turned off, and the situation was reported in time.

Secretary Li Yuanzhuo and Governor Zhou were very anxious and anxious when they heard the phone report, and clearly instructed Yu Wei: immediately rush to Pengcheng City to deal with the accident urgently on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, minimize the loss as much as possible, and not delay for a moment! At the same time, in accordance with the regulations on reporting major accidents, report truthfully to the relevant central departments and do not conceal them!

Yu Ke hung up the phone, and quickly contacted Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen's side seemed to be receiving his subordinates, and he said a few times, asking him to handle it according to the wishes of the deputy squad leader, and Xiao Chen would help him arrange the rest of the things in the provincial capital.

Yu Ke obeyed the order, closed the mobile phone, and ordered the driver to turn the front of the car, go against the rules and regulations, and rush to Pengcheng.
