When Ye Ming heard that Wang Xiuguang had approved the Zhenyu lead-zinc mine to apply for a mining license before stepping down as director of the Department of Land and Resources, and that two months ago he had also approved the application for the Zhenyu lead-zinc mine to expand its prospecting scope and to carry out "productive prospecting" for the mineral deposits under the Jigong Mountains. In other words, if the joint investigation team must investigate the dereliction of duty involved in the Zhenyu lead-zinc mine, Wang Xiuguang will bear the brunt......

Thinking of this, Ye Ming was also anxious in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Brother, you are a very rigorous and principled leader, how can you be so careless in this matter?" I'm a little hard to understand! ”

Wang Xiuguang said in a heavy tone: "Brother, I may have been used by others. Let me tell you the truth: three months ago, an important leader came to me privately, saying that Vice Governor Zhou might be transferred, and suggested that I fight for this vacant position of vice governor, and that he would recommend me to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Central Committee. A month later, Vice Governor Zhou was transferred, and the leader did strongly recommend me to take over the position of Vice Governor at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. During that time, I was very grateful to this leader, and at the same time, because I put all my thoughts on promotion at that time, and I didn't take the affairs of the hall very seriously.

"Two months ago, the Zhenyu Lead-Zinc Mine's request for instructions on expanding prospecting rights came to me, and it was Liang Zaimin, the executive deputy director, who personally sent it to my office. At that time, I also raised questions, saying that it is a very important issue to expand prospecting rights and carry out productive prospecting, and that the lead-zinc ore in Jigongling is an important strategic resource of our province because of its high position and rich reserves, and the mining of mineral deposits here must be approved by the main leaders of the provincial government, even if it is productive prospecting, it must be approved by the vice governor in charge.

"Liang Zaimin immediately told me: Zhenyu lead-zinc mine to expand the scope of prospecting, has been approved by the main leaders of the provincial government, now the key is the Department of land and resources, as long as the department submits it, the provincial leaders will definitely approve. I was a little skeptical and didn't sign it right away. Unexpectedly, as soon as Liang Zaimin left my office, Vice Governor Liu, who was in charge of the Department of Land and Resources, immediately called me and asked me if I had signed the report of Zhenyu Lead-Zinc Mine. I said I had just received a report and needed to look into it. Vice Governor Liu seemed a little unhappy and urged me to sign and submit it immediately. So, I had no choice but to sign the report and submit it to Vice Governor Liu. ”

Ye Ming asked: "Brother, before you signed and agreed, did you know that Zhenyu Lead-Zinc Mine has been stealing national resources for more than two years, and there are illegal and criminal problems such as unlicensed operation and tax evasion?" ”

"I don't know, that's my biggest oversight and mistake. At that time, I subconsciously thought that since Zhenyu Lead-Zinc Mine had made a serious report to ask for the expansion of the prospecting area, and the leaders of the provincial government supported them, this mine must be a very formal and well-behaved enterprise, and there could be no problem of illegal mining of national resources. Only now did I know that many of the documents and materials in this mine were forged, and that there were serious illegal mining practices. Now that I think about it, I was framed by them, and Vice Governor Liu, who signed this report, is estimated to be miserable by them. ”

When Ye Ming heard the words "digging a pit and framing him", he was shocked, and immediately thought of another more serious question, and hurriedly asked: "Brother, you just said that the mining license of Zhenyu lead-zinc mine has been completed, and the application for this mining license must be signed and agreed by Governor Ni himself, does this mean that Governor Ni is also involved in this case?" If he signed the consent to the mining license report, will he also be held accountable? ”

"That's right, if it turns out that there are a lot of false things in the information reported by Zhenyu Lead-Zinc Mine, and they still have the behavior of stealing national resources after cutting and then playing, and there is a vicious case of murdering the secretary of the municipal legal committee and the secretary of the county party committee, once it is seriously investigated, it will be a shocking case. Beginning with Governor Ni, a large number of provincial, municipal, and county officials, including Vice Governor Liu and me, will be held accountable and investigated. ”

When Ye Ming heard this, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead: Vice Governor Liu, like Wang Xiuguang, is his father's right-hand man. In particular, Vice Governor Liu was one of his father's most admired subordinates, who turned out to be only the mayor of Dezhou City, and was promoted to vice governor by the central government under his father's strong recommendation. And Wang Xiuguang was promoted this time, although it was nominated by Ding Tiansheng, but it was also his father who strongly recommended him to the central government to get promoted. If both of them are held accountable for this incident, or even investigated and punished, it will be a great blow to their father's reputation and prestige!

What's more, this matter also involved Governor Ni Xiaohu. If Wang Hao reports the case to the central government and Ni Xiaohu is held accountable, will he think that his father is deliberately manipulating him and excluding him? If it really goes that far, the entire Tianjiang political arena will be turned upside down!

Judging from this: Wang Xiuguang's words are not wrong, the interest group behind Zhenyu lead-zinc mine is indeed digging a big hole. They did not know what means they used to persuade Ni Xiaohu and Liu Zitao to agree to the expansion of the prospecting scope of the Zhenyu lead-zinc mine and the application for a mining license. Then, they deliberately reported the application reports mixed with a large number of fake documents and materials, and asked them to sign the reports without the knowledge of Ni Xiaohu, Liu Zitao and Wang Xiuguang, tying them to the problem of Zhenyu lead-zinc mine.

In this way, once the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection seriously investigates and handles this case, it will inevitably implicate Ni Xiaohu, Liu Zitao, and Wang Xiuguang. If Wang Hao wants to investigate to the end, he must report the problems of Ni, Liu, and Wang to the central government, and in that case, the entire Tianjiang Province will be in chaos......

When he thought of this result, Ye Ming felt a little chilled, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said to Wang Xiuguang: "Brother, don't blame yourself too much, this is what those people have planned a long time ago, and it is estimated that I was already digging this big hole when I took office as the secretary of the Beishan County Party Committee." I suggest that you report this situation to Secretary Lu first and listen to his opinion. ”

Wang Xiuguang let out a "hmm" and hung up the phone.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Ye Ming suddenly received a call from Xu Lizhong, whispering that the chief wanted to see him, and he would drive to the armed police hospital to pick him up.

An hour later, Ye Ming took Xu Lizhong's car and quietly drove into the compound of the provincial party committee and entered Secretary Lu's house.

Secretary Lu instructed Xu Lizhong to go out, and closed the door, and then looked at Ye Ming, who had lost a lot of weight and his face was still very haggard, with distressed eyes, and asked in a loving tone: "Mingming, how are you feeling now?" Have you regained your energy a bit? ”
