Chapter 823 Exchange, Emergency

It's too late, and now it's useless to submit a change of conditions, because since the Tu Yun incident has alarmed the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, it is already beyond the influence of the other party, and it is not within the scope of Xia Xiang's control, it has risen to the height of the Wu family, and I believe that with the energy of the other party, it is not enough to regret the position of the Wu family

In fact, the chips offered by the other party really have no sincerity, just to say that one is to take a step back, and the other is to arrange a chance for Zhao Xiaofeng to be released, both conditions are not tempting, it can only be said that it is a tentative contact, throwing stones to ask for directions. Zhao Xiaofeng estimated that he had already rejected the other party, and now he called to ask him, but in order to show that Zhao Quanxin was still the number one person with weight, he also showed his firm position, so as to signal to Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang gave Zhao Xiaofeng the answer he wanted, saying that he would continue to unswervingly promote the establishment of organic ecological agriculture, and at the same time, he implicitly thanked Zhao Xiaofeng for introducing Yang Wei and his acquaintance. Yang Wei and him approached quickly, Zhao Xiaofeng must know in his heart, some things are on the surface, and it is the way to respect others.

Zhao Xiaofeng lightly diverted the topic of Yang Wei, and let Xia Xiang understand that he either didn't care about Yang Wei's choice, or he had a general relationship with Yang Wei. Just when Zhao Xiaofeng talked about the wonders of Wang Rose again, and summed up that Rose has three good, good person, good figure, good kung fu, etc., Li Caiyuan knocked on the door and came in, telling Mayor Xia Xianggu that an emergency meeting should be held temporarily.

Xia Xiang interrupted the gossip with Zhao Xiaofeng, and his heart tightened, what did Gu Xiangguo have to play?

As soon as he arrived at the conference room, he found that except for Tu Yun, all the deputy mayors had arrived, and when he saw that Lu Hongzhan was also attending the meeting, Xia Xiang understood what was going on, the other party wanted to strictly guard Yang Bin and prevent any evidence against Tu Yun from appearing.

As soon as Xia Xiang took his seat, Gu Xiangguo coughed: "Now the meeting is ...... In order to strengthen the public security of Lang City during the New Year's Day, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government require the Municipal Public Security Bureau to do a good job in public security and security. ”

did not ask Xia Xiang's opinion at all, Gu Xiangguo's attitude was very big, and he made it clear that he would continue to stand up for Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang didn't care, but after he sat down, three of the four deputy mayors nodded and smiled at him, especially Zhu Ruile and Wu Ruolan's smiles.

In addition to the two of them, there is another deputy mayor who wants to show favor to Xia - Wang Hao.

Wang Nao is actually very quiet, about 40 years old, wears a pair of rimless glasses, likes to wear a Mao suit, looks a little earthy, and looks like a rural teacher at first glance. He has always been stable in the city government, rarely takes the initiative to speak, and is a low-key and pragmatic deputy mayor.

The city government, including Xia Xiang, has a total of 7 deputy mayors, and Tu Yun is not there, so there are only 6 left. At present, it seems that Shao Ding is still a firm ally of Gu Xiangguo, Liu Xianzhi is also inclined to Gu Xiangguo's position, and the other three deputy mayors have the intention of moving closer to Xia Xiang, at least on the surface.

The scene just now fell in Gu Xiangguo's eyes, which made him extremely depressed again. Xia Xiang's footsteps in Lang City are becoming more and more steady, and he feels a real threat.

Lu Hongzhan cleared his throat, glanced at Gu Xiangguo, and then subconsciously glanced at Xia Xiangxiang before saying: "According to the routine arrangement every year, this year, the Municipal Bureau has decided to arrange for the two deputy directors of Biao Li and Yingcheng to investigate the public security situation in various districts and counties. ”

Gu Xiangguo nodded cooperatively: "Well, with the two deputy directors in charge, it can ensure the smooth development of public security work, okay, it's decided." After speaking, he seemed to have just remembered, and looked at Xia Xiang, "Mayor Xia has anything to add?" ”

In fact, as the executive deputy mayor and a member of the Standing Committee, he should have a lot of right to speak, not the right to suggest, Gu Xiangguo should ask Xia Xiang if he has any opinions, but he asked him if he had anything to add, obviously not giving him a chance to express his views.

Xia Xiang was not annoyed, nodded and smiled, and his attitude was very thoughtful: "No, the arrangement of Mayor Gu and Director Lu is very reasonable, and I fully agree." ”

Everyone was taken aback, Xia Xiang should have expressed his opinion confidently, he was the executive deputy mayor, and it was normal to exercise his due powers, and it was too unreasonable to make a comprehensive concession. More discerning people also know the inside story, it is obviously the practice of separating the appearance from Yingcheng, why is Xia Xiang not against it at all?

Unexpectedly, after Xia Xiang finished speaking, he paused slightly, and said, "There is a problem, I think it is necessary to discuss it." The Lang City Public Security Bureau and the Yan City Public Security Bureau are one level apart in the level, and the scale of Lang City and Yan City cannot be compared, but the annual financial allocation of the Municipal Bureau is comparable to that of the Yan City Public Security Bureau, I think there is a suspicion of extravagance and waste, and it is necessary to re-examine the financial expenditure of the Municipal Bureau, reduce unnecessary expenses, and also relieve the financial pressure of the municipal government. ”

"Buzz......" There was a lot of discussion in the conference room.

Xia Xiang's words directly hit the sore spot of Lu Hongzhan, and reducing the financial allocation is equivalent to directly taking the life of the city bureau. If he does not get financial appropriation from the city government, his prestige in the city bureau will be greatly reduced. Any leader, as long as he does not come to allocate funds, as long as he has no money in his hands, is not a good leader, and he cannot let his subordinates obey orders.

Xia Xiang's move was completely a face-to-face approach, and it was no different from slapping the face in front of Lu Hongzhan to cut the financial allocation of the city bureau

Lu Hongzhan was furious: "Mayor Xia, the environment of Lang City and Yan City is different, located at the junction of Beijing, Jincheng and Yan Province, the flow of people is complicated, the public security situation is severe, and the expenditure is indeed not low compared with the Yan City Bureau, but there are also objective reasons, which cannot be generalized." Reducing the financial allocation of the city bureau is tantamount to disregarding the safety of the lives and property of the people of Lang City, and is an irresponsible proposal."

The rebuttal was very sharp, and it didn't leave Xia Xiang with any affection.

Xia Xiang didn't show any anger at Lu Hongzhan's unkind remarks, just waved his hand and said casually: "Also, the public security situation in Lang City is really worrying, as the executive deputy mayor, I can't feel safe in Lang City, and I have been personally threatened several times, how can ordinary people have a sense of security?" I wondered, the expenses are not small, and there are a lot of police forces, why is the security situation in Lang City not satisfactory? And there are also underworld forces that are rampant? Director Lu, don't you think you're derelict in your duties at all? ”

The strength of this sentence is not small, and he directly used the topic to play and questioned Lu Hongzhan's personal ability in person, which made Lu Hongzhan lose his face.

But what Xia Xiang said is the truth, the security of Lang City is really worrying, Xia Xiang has been personally threatened twice, Lu Hongzhan has also witnessed it once, he can neither deny it in person, nor can he ignore the fact that Lang City has Oh Chen rampant, although he also knows that Xia Xiang is deliberately suppressing him by borrowing financial allocation, but he can't think of a strong rebuttal.

"Mayor Xia, the topic of today's meeting is to discuss the issue of ensuring the security of Lang City during the New Year's Day, not the financial allocation of the city bureau, please don't divert the topic at will." Gu Xiangguo relieved Lu Hongzhan in time.

"That's it, that's it." Seeing that Gu Xiangguo came forward to relieve the pressure from Xia Xiang, Lu Hongzhan hurriedly echoed and said, "Today is to discuss how to improve the public security environment in Lang City, and the issue of appropriation is not within the scope of today's discussion. ”

"I know." Xia Xiang smiled again, "I just gave Mayor Gu and Director Lu a briefing in advance, because I have already reached an agreement with Secretary Ai on the issue of the allocation of funds for the City Bureau, and I plan to submit it to the Standing Committee for discussion in the near future." ”

What the? Gu Xiangguo and Lu Hongzhan glanced at each other, and both of them were angry. Xia Xiang was too arrogant, Gu Xiangguo only bypassed him once just now, he was good, and he flashed Gu Xiangguo directly, and directly did not discuss with the mayor, but discussed with the secretary to cut part of the financial allocation of the city bureau, which was a complete provocation

"I'm firmly against it." Lu Hongzhan knew that he had no way out, and Xia Xiang's approach was to compress his power space step by step, and he had to rise up to resist, "I hope Mayor Xia will consider the problem from a fair standpoint, and don't work with prejudice and colored glasses." ”

Gu Xiangguo also sneered: "I don't agree with the reduction of the financial allocation of the city bureau, I will talk to Secretary Ai directly" It means that it should be a major matter that can only be decided by the first and second leaders, Xia Xiang, as a deputy, is not qualified to point fingers.

Xia Xiang faced the pressure of the two heavyweights, but he still looked calm: "It doesn't matter if Mayor Gu disagrees, I will still propose to convene a standing committee for discussion, from my own personal experience and the actual situation of Lang City, my proposal is that if there is no obvious improvement in the public security situation in Lang City within half a year, I will propose to reduce one-third of the financial allocation." ”

Xia Xiang is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and executive vice mayor, and has the right to propose the convening of the Standing Committee, and he is also in charge of the municipal government's finances, so his proposal will definitely attract attention, and he will cut one-third of the financial allocation with one sword, if the resolution of the Standing Committee is really passed, the finances of the city bureau will be immediately stretched, and Lu Hongzhan will lose his prestige.

Lu Hongzhan slapped the table angrily: "Mayor Xia, don't go too far, don't bully people too much." The city bureau has made a great contribution to maintaining law and order in Lang City, and if the financial allocation is reduced by one-third, the work of the city bureau will not be able to be carried out, and the long-term peace and stability of Lang City will not be guaranteed. ”

"So, now Lang City is stable and harmonious?" Xia Xiang asked rhetorically.

"Of course, now the criminal crime rate in Lang City is the lowest in the province, and there have been no vicious cases such as kidnapping, ** and homicide in the past year, all of which are the credit of all the cadres and police officers of the Municipal Bureau......" As soon as Lu Hongzhan's voice fell, his mobile phone suddenly rang rapidly, and as soon as he looked at the call number, he ignored Gu Xiangguo's presence, and answered the phone in a hurry, and immediately after answering, he was shocked, "What? **Attempted kidnapping of the victim? Where is it? Seremban Hotel? Okay, I'll be right there. ”

Just said that the public security situation in Lang City was very good, and he received a call from a vicious case, which was indeed speechless and depressed, Xia Xiang did not gloat and laughed, Lu Hongzhan couldn't hold his face, and smiled: "Suddenly, I must rush to the scene immediately." ”

Xia Xiang hadn't realized anything at first, and suddenly remembered that Fu Xianxian was living in the Furong Hotel, so it wouldn't be so coincidental that she was ...... How so? He was shocked and stood up suddenly: "Let's go, Director Lu, I'll go to the scene with you." ”

The executive deputy mayor wanted to come to the scene in person, and Lu Hongzhan had nothing to say, so he nodded to Gu Xiangguo, and left the conference room in a hurry with Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang sat directly in Lu Hongzhan's car, remembering that the last time he called Fu Xianxian, he couldn't get through, so he dialed again, prompting to turn off the phone, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, if Fu Xianxian encountered an accident, he couldn't forgive his negligence.

Although Fu Xianxian is Fu Xianxian's own sister, and he has nothing to do with him directly, but in his heart, although Fu Xianxian is open and trendy, he is also a good girl.

"Director Lu, immediately mobilize snipers to the scene to deploy, the situation is critical, and the gangsters can be shot directly to death" Xia Xiang gave an order.

Unexpectedly, Lu Hongzhan just said lightly: "Let's go to the scene to find out the situation first." His attitude was indifferent and negative, which made Xia think clearly about the fact that if the gangster was Oh Chen's person, Lu Hongzhan would definitely not dare to order the shooting.

Time is life, Xia Xiang didn't care about Lu Hongzhan's presence, took out the phone and gave an order directly to Yingcheng: "Yingju, there is a major case in the Furong Hotel, you rush to the scene as soon as possible, and equip snipers to be ready." ”

Yingcheng also received the alarm and was rushing to the scene: "I arrived at the scene in five minutes, but the sniper's transfer and return bureau is under the command of one person, and I don't have authority." ”

Do you still need Lu Hongzhan's approval to mobilize snipers? What regulations Xia Xiang was dissatisfied with, but now is not the time to accuse Lu Hongzhan of unreasonable regulations, each place has its own characteristics, and Lu Hongzhan can also confidently claim that it was for safety reasons.

Xia Xiang said to Lu Hongzhan again: "It's best to put the sniper on standby immediately in case of an unforeseen situation." ”

Lu Hongzhan hesitated, but still made a call: "Liu Hua, let the snipers be dispatched and rush to the scene as soon as possible." ”

As soon as he spoke, he came to the Furong Hotel, and as soon as he got out of the car, Xia Xiang's heart sank to the bottom. Standing under the hotel, looking up, I saw a room on the fifth floor of the Furong Hotel, there were two people standing in front of the window, the current one was Fu Xianxian, she was wearing a cloak, bare right arm, the clothes on her body were quite complete, but there were red handprints on her face, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was stubborn, and she looked like she would rather die than give in.

The exposed right arm was still dripping with blood, and there were a few knife marks that were not deep.

Behind her stood a man with red eyes and a mad look, and although he couldn't see it clearly from a distance, he still clearly saw a scar on his face.

Scarface was holding a fruit knife, the tip of the knife was against Fu Xianxian's neck, the window had been opened, and he shouted at the crowd of onlookers below: "You all get out of the way, don't look at the fuck ***, look again, I will kill this woman I want Xia Xiang to come up and change the hostage, otherwise I will rape her first and then kill her, and then dismantle her into eight pieces"

The crowd was talking and asking each other who Xia Xiang was. Some people with good deeds knew that Xia Xiang was the new executive vice mayor, and everyone wondered how Scarface had a grudge against the deputy mayor. Then the focus of everyone's discussion fell on whether the executive vice mayor would sacrifice his own safety, negotiate with the gangsters, and whether he would voluntarily exchange hostages.

In the end, the crowd almost came to a unanimous conclusion, Xia Xiang was a dignified mayor, how could he come forward to exchange his life for the safety of a hostage? Some elderly people also said that they had lived most of their lives and had never seen a county magistrate voluntarily replace a hostage, let alone a mayor.

Xia Xiang didn't know who Scarface was, but Lu Hongzhan knew who Scarface was, he was Luffy, the sworn brother of the four little dragons under Oh Chen, nicknamed Flying Scarface, and most people called him Scarface.

Although Scarface is not a subordinate of Oh Chen, he also has a relationship with Oh Chen, maybe today's incident was done by Oh Chen's secret instructions, especially when Lu Hongzhan heard that Scarface was going to exchange hostages for Xia Xiang, there were countless thoughts in his heart for a moment.

Whether Scarface is avenging the four little dragons, or being secretly instructed by Oh Chen to deliberately harm Xia Xiang, anyway, he can't kill him with one shot, maybe today's game is a rare opportunity. Lu Hongzhan didn't know who Fu Xianxian was, but he also saw that Fu Xianxian was beautiful and beautiful, and secretly screamed a pity, maybe Scarface had already succeeded, and a good cabbage made the pig arch again.

The deeper thought in his heart was that if Xia Xiang was willing to go up and replace the hostages, then Scarface would suddenly go crazy, kill Xia Xiang with one knife, and then let the sniper shoot Scarface with one more shot, and finally Xia Xiang confessed, Scarface was finished, and the world would be peaceful, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Although it is said that the death of the executive deputy mayor will definitely become a big news, and he will also carry a punishment, but compared with Xia Xiang losing his life, a punishment is nothing, and it can be eliminated in a year and a half, and Lang City will have peace of mind without Xia Xiang.

However, Lu Hongzhan also knew that he was just thinking about it, and it was impossible for the dream to come true, because Xia Xiang was the executive deputy mayor, and it was impossible to take the initiative to replace the hostages at risk. Lu Hongzhan has been in the officialdom for decades, and he has only seen party and government cadres who retreat when they encounter danger, and he has never met the leaders of the municipal party committee who have taken the initiative to step forward.

Xia Xiang's mind and courage to take responsibility, how can Lu Hongzhan and his ilk experience the righteousness of asking for the people's lives? What's more, the kidnapped person is Fu Xianxian, even in Xia Xiang's heart, Fu Xianxian is not as close as Song Yifan, but Xia Xiang is Xia Xiang, he does not allow anything to bully under his nose, and Fu Xianxian is still his guest, and the gangsters keep saying that they want to exchange people for hostages

Xia Xiang barely hesitated, turned back to Lu Hongzhan and said, "Director Lu, I'll go and replace the hostages, you are responsible for taking the hostages, and you must ensure the safety of the hostages." ”

Lu Hongzhan thought at first that he had misheard, Xia Xiang really wanted to take the initiative to replace the hostages, was it true? Is he stupid and bold or impulsive? Or is it an uprising and wants to stage a hero to save the United States? But seeing that Xia Xiang had a firm face, neither impulsive nor hot-blooded, but calm, it seemed that it was a natural thing to exchange him for hostages......
