Chapter 52: Confrontation
He believed that this was definitely a conspiracy that Leng Yunphong had planned for a long time, and the purpose was to target him through Wen Dahai's family. He didn't want to care, after all, this matter was unreasonable, but he was worried that people in the circle would laugh at him, and the second-in-command didn't dare to say anything if he was bullied by the third-in-command, so it was passed on as a joke and became a laughing stock. But if he wants to give in to Leng Yunping, he can't let go of this face.
He was so anxious that he fidgeted, walked around the office, turned around a lot, and thought for a long time before he picked up the phone and dialed Leng Yunping's office.
Unfortunately, Leng Yunphong was still discussing things with Zhu Jianjun at the Feiyuan International Hotel, and he was not in the office, even the secretary Du Guoping was not there, and no one answered the phone. Hong Gang was so angry that he almost smashed the phone. He also thought that Leng Yunphong was deliberately avoiding him. This made him even more convinced that Leng Yunping's action was aimed at him.
After thinking about it again, he asked the secretary to prepare the car and drove directly to the Municipal Public Security Bureau. All he can do now is to put pressure on the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Public Security Bureau, hoping to force them to release them, after all, few people dare to choose to resist the mayor, you know, in this city, he is still in charge, whether it is the Commission for Discipline Inspection or the Public Security Bureau, it is his subordinates.
As soon as he saw Song Zuyun, Hong Gang lowered his face and said fiercely: "Song Zuyun, what are you doing?" The arbitrary detention of grassroots cadres has had a very bad impact on the grassroots level. I'm going to be flooded with complaints. ”
Song Zuyun said: "Mayor Hong, I don't understand what you mean, we didn't detain any grassroots cadres, but just cooperated with the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection in carrying out normal investigation work. ”
"Investigate what? Investigation will lead to seizure and detention? Hong Gang said with some strong words.
"It is the responsibility of the Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate cadres, and it is our responsibility to investigate crimes. As for what national law the Wen family father and son have committed, it is really a lot, it can really be said that it is difficult to write, and what is currently in hand is enough to sentence them to more than ten years in prison. Song Zuyun's face was expressionless, but his language was very sharp.
After receiving Leng Yunping's order, he was ready to face Mayor Hong Gang, although Leng Yunfei let them push the problem to himself, but as a subordinate, he can't solve problems for the leader, is he still a qualified subordinate? Song Zuyun, who was born in the army, is very tendonous, and since he has Leng Yunfei's instructions, even if the director of the bureau is removed, he will still do this.
"How can you notify me in advance of your arrest of cadres? Am I still the mayor? Hong Gang was so angry that his face turned blue and his eyes were on fire. The director of a city public security bureau can be so arrogant, which makes him very dissatisfied.
At this time, Xu Feng walked in, and said in a strange manner: "Mayor Hong is probably in a hurry, forgetting that our Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Public Security are enforcing the law alone. As long as there is a case, we will investigate it, so we don't need to notify the mayor in advance, right? What's more, the mayor has every opportunity, and if we want to investigate a village party secretary, we have to apply to the mayor in advance, I don't know if you are busy with the mayor? ”
"You ...... Hum! Hong Gang was so angry that he trembled.
According to the regulations, the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Public Security are both dual leaders and can be independent of the government in law enforcement, and this is also to avoid interference in law enforcement. However, in reality, after all, both the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Public Security Bureau have to accept the leadership of the municipal party committee and government in their posts, and basically no one dares to go against the will of the first and second leaders and insists on going one way to the end.
But today, Xu Feng took this out and said it, which really made Hong Gang have nothing to say. Of course, if they hadn't misunderstood Leng Yunhong's meaning, they really wouldn't have dared to resist the mayor's authority like this.
Generally speaking, it is inevitable that there will be struggles in the circle, but most of them are hidden in the shadows, and they rarely come out in the light like this. If the battle is going to reach this point, it will already be a short-handed battle, and it will be completely white-hot, at this time, either you die or I live, and there is no third result.
In the end, Hong Gang turned his heart sideways, looked at Xu Feng coldly, and said, "What if I have to take someone away today?" ”
"Okay, if Mayor Hong really wants to take people away, it's not impossible, he has to go through a procedure, right? Otherwise, we won't be able to explain. Xu Fengdao handed Hong Gang a piece of paper and said, "You can sign this." ”
When Hong Gang heard this, he felt a lot more comfortable, and thought to himself: You will know each other. Who knew that when I took it and looked at it, I almost got my nose crooked, and it was written on that piece of paper that it was a letter of commitment, which said that I interfered with the normal law enforcement of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the public security, forcibly took the personnel away, and all the consequences that occurred as a result were borne by myself.
Only people with abnormal brains would sign such a self-defeating thing. How could Hong Gang not know that he was teased by Xu Feng, snorted heavily on his nose, threw the piece of paper, turned away with a blushing face, scolded his mother in his heart, and naturally attributed all the reasons to Leng Yunhong.
From this moment on, Hong Gang was completely broken with Leng Yunping.
Hong Gang returned to the office in a huff, his secretary Gan Jian had never seen Mayor Hong lose his temper like this, and couldn't help but think of the gossip that he had inadvertently heard from other offices today that Secretary Leng Yunyi was actually at war with Mayor Hong. At first, he didn't believe it, how could two city leaders go to war? But now it seems that there is indeed a thing, otherwise how could Mayor Hong be so out of shape?
Although he has always been by Mayor Hong's side, as a bystander, he clearly knows that Mayor Hong is the mayor and his position is higher than that of Secretary Leng, but if you really want to compare it, Mayor Hong is really not Secretary Leng's opponent. And as a secretary, he can't run away if he wants to, he must be with Mayor Hong with both glory and loss, if his position is not firm, even if he passes this level and violates the principles of the circle, he will definitely be a rat crossing the street and everyone shouts and beats him, not only will he become a rotten egg, but no one will use himself.
Therefore, at this time, he can only pray to the sky, all he hears are some rumors, between Secretary Leng and Mayor Hong, at most there are only some differences in political opinions, the same as before, there is no big deal.
What's next? Hong Gang smoked with a pale face and fell into deep thought. Today's scene in the Municipal Public Security Bureau, before getting off work, will definitely spread throughout the entire system of Changfu, everyone will know that they have lost the face of the boss today, if they can't get it back, how will they do this mayor in the future, and who will take their words seriously? Even the cadres who are leaning on themselves now will immediately fall to Leng Yunping. At that time, even though he was still mayor in name, he could no longer see hope and a future.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally dialed the phone number of Wang Peiyuan of Shudu.
Wang Peiyuan is an official and prosperous, serving as the mayor of Shudu City and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee for less than two years, and in mid-1989, he was once again promoted to secretary of the Shudu Municipal Party Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of Sichuan Province.
However, Wang Peiyuan still has not forgotten the Changfu City, where he made his fortune, is still his old base, and almost all the leading cadres were promoted by him, so the ties between them are still relatively close. Most of the officials of Changfu, big and small, also looked at him as the leader.
Hong Gang dialed Wang Peiyuan's phone, first greeted the old leader, and after a while of greetings, he naturally complained to the old leader, and reprimanded Leng Yunhong for ignoring the overall situation, undermining unity, provoking incidents, and in order to compete for power and profit, completely ignoring that he was the successor personally elected by the old leader, not only trampling on his own authority, but also wantonly detaining grassroots cadres, causing a very bad impact...... Anyway, he added fuel and vinegar and told everything that happened, and of course he was the wronged party. And Leng Yunping's behavior is not only aimed at himself, he can still tolerate these, the key is not to give Wang Peiyuan, the old leader, face, which he really has no way to accept.
Hong Gang didn't know the relationship between Wang Peiyuan and Leng Yunping, but he thought that Wang Peiyuan wouldn't want the situation in Xichang to be chaotic. And the cause of this incident is all Leng Yunyuan, if Wang Peiyuan comes forward, then Leng Yunfei will not dare to go against Wang Peiyuan's intentions no matter what. This matter can be properly resolved, and his face will be saved.
Wang Peiyuan on the other end of the phone listened to his story, and was silent for almost a minute, until Hong Gang's heart rose to his throat, and then he said: "Old Hong, it seems that Changfu is not suitable for you, it just so happens that the deputy director of the Provincial Forestry Department here is about to retire, so you will take over, you prepare, the appointment will arrive soon." ”
When Hong Gang heard this, it was as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole brain was blank, and he didn't even know when he hung up the phone. The whole spirit and spirit were scattered all of a sudden, the whole body was cold, the fingers were shaking very much, and the heart kept falling, making the whole heart empty.
He didn't expect that the action he had painstakingly planned would end up like this, and he really shot himself in the foot. It seems that he still underestimated Leng Yunfei's status in Wang Peiyuan's mind.
The transfer from the mayor of a prefecture-level city to the deputy director of the provincial forestry department seems to be a flat transfer, but even in the provincial capital, where can it be compared with the mayor who is in charge of one party? If you keep to yourself and don't toss, the mayor's throne should still be very stable, but why is he so unbreathable?
It's a pity that the world has no regrets about selling medicine.
When he came out of the office again, the secretary Gan Jian felt that Hong Gang seemed to be ten years old in an instant, his straight back was a little hunched, and his steps were a little staggering.
Three days later, Gao Mingyuan, deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, went to Changfu with an order, announcing that from now on, Honggang would be revoked from the position of mayor and deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Changfu City, and transferred to the deputy director of the Provincial Forestry Department; Leng Yunphong was appointed as the acting mayor of Changfu City.
An officialdom game that was inadvertently triggered by Leng Binghan and Leng Yunhong had no intention of dealing with it came to an end in a hurry. Shocked to all who followed the matter. Although he knew that there was a huge disparity in strength, Hong Gang was a mantis arm and a car, and he couldn't help himself, but he never imagined that in just three days, Hong Gang, the mayor, would leave the scene miserably, and the strength behind this cold cloud is too strong and weird, right?
Although there is a code in front of the title of mayor, everyone knows that the mayor needs to be elected by the people's congress, but they are all elected by equal numbers, and there are still deputies who dare not bounce votes according to the arrangement from above? That's a major political event, so elections are just a formality and a formality, and sooner or later this code will be removed.
The secretary of the municipal party committee was saddened by the death of the fox, but also repeatedly warned himself to keep his duty and fully support Leng Yunyi's work. Through this incident, he can also see that Leng Yunfei will never be trapped in the small place of Changfu, and the 47-year-old mayor still has more room for development. Leng Yunfei has made achievements, and he also has a part in the secretary of the municipal party committee, if he doesn't know each other, he will definitely be like Hong Gang, and will be regarded as a roadblock for Leng Yunpan's progress, and will be ruthlessly abandoned and overthrown.
A few days later, Leng Yunhong took the initiative to resign from the post of secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, because he is now the mayor and cannot concurrently serve as the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee according to the regulations, and proposed that Song Zuyun, director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, serve as the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. Leng Yunfei's proposal was naturally unanimously approved, Song Zuyun is obviously Leng Yunfei's descendant, at this time, no one will be bored to provoke Leng Yunfei, for fear of becoming the second Hong Gang, raising their hands faster than the other.
Song Zuyun, who had no suspense, became the secretary of the Municipal Legal Committee, and in this way, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee left a Hong Gang, and a Song Zuyun came, and the 13 Standing Committee members remained unchanged. In less than two years after following Leng Yunfei, Song Zuyun completed two consecutive jumps, from a deputy department to the deputy hall, which made everyone envious, and also made him even more determined to follow Leng Yunfei.
Although Xu Feng, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, did not go further, his ranking in the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee also rose with Leng Yunping, everyone knows that Xu Feng, Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Song Zuyun, Secretary of the Municipal Legal Committee, and Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Feng Shaohua, Director of the Municipal Finance Bureau, and Jiao Yunfei, Director of the Municipal Economic and Trade Bureau, are the "Four Heavenly Kings" under Leng Yunfei, even the ordinary deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and they dare not take their beards lightly.
So far, Leng Yunphong has become the second powerful mayor of Changfu after Wang Peiyuan. Maybe this was not his original intention, but it became such a situation step by step.
After Hong Gang was transferred out of Changfu, Wen Dahai and his son immediately dismissed, and the case was quickly clarified: Wen Dahai was expelled from the party for corruption, embezzlement of public funds, dereliction of duty and other crimes, revoked his position as village party secretary, and sentenced to 15 years in prison; The two sons, Wen Bing and Wen Yong, were suspected of being an underworld in nature, snatching nearly 40,000 yuan of coins, raping and molesting 19 women, violently smashing and robbing 9 times, and injuring 21 people, 2 of whom were seriously injured and disabled, and were sentenced to 15 and 20 years in prison respectively and confiscated all their personal property.
Because of the case of the Wen family's father and son, 7 government officials at all levels and police officers at the police station were also involved, and all of them were dismissed from public office and warned by the party, which made them regret it.
The public trial meeting was held in Zhangmu Village, and after hearing this belated verdict, thousands of people in the village burst into thunderous applause. The bully who was rampant in the township finally got the punishment he deserved, which was really happy, and the excited villagers couldn't help but spontaneously shout "Long live GCD!" In this way, I have not heard the slogan for a long time since the package was delivered to the household.
And Uncle Zhao's family not only got back the fish pond that belonged to their own contract, but also got the compensation of 3,000 yuan confiscated from the Wen family through the court judgment.
The next day, Uncle Zhao took the whole family to the door of the city government again. This time, they did not come to appeal, but to beat gongs and drums to send pennants to the government.
Leng Yunhong took the pennant, but he didn't look proud at all, he said seriously: "We just corrected our work mistakes, and there is nothing to be proud of." The occurrence of such an incident has an important connection with the lack of supervision within our system. As the old saying goes: If you don't make decisions for the people, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes, and if you really do your duty, you must strengthen the building of party style and the accountability of cadres......"
The cadres present faintly felt something from Leng Yunyi's speech.
Sure enough, a few days later, Leng Yunhong proposed that the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee unanimously approve the plan to implement party style building and cadre accountability in the city. Notify all units and cadres in the city, implement the work plan, sign the target responsibility letter step by step, check the implementation every month, and the last three units with the most complaints from the masses will give a verbal warning in the first month, and the city's criticism will be circulated in the second month, and the leadership accountability system will automatically resign in three months.
At the same time, the investigation team headed by Xu Feng, secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, was sent to all parts of the city to conduct investigations, and the investigation was divided into two groups, light and dark, and comprehensively investigated and understood the work status, efficiency, and attitude of cadres at all levels. If you fail to pass the course or if you still have problems after taking up your post, you will be directly dismissed from public office. Those who perform well will be recorded in the file and given priority in the adjustment of duties.
For a time, the officialdom of Changfu was full of chickens and dogs, but the work style and state were new, and the people's satisfaction was greatly improved. For Leng Yunping, the new mayor, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise.
