Qin Ge heard that Secretary Lu offered to go to activities for Wang Hai and let him go to the provincial ** as deputy director next year, and couldn't help but admire his generous mind to repay grievances with virtue. At the same time, he also felt that Secretary Lu had a very broad vision and considered the problems very carefully and thoughtfully when dealing with various personnel disputes and contradictions, and his basic idea was to "crack down on a small group and unite a large area", not only to punish and educate those who made mistakes, but also to maintain the stability of the political situation in Tianjiang. At this point, Qin Ge felt that he was a big step behind Secretary Lu's level.

Therefore, when Secretary Lu said that Xie Hongda would be punished by the central government, he agreed from the bottom of his heart and said: "Secretary Lu, I do know Xie Hongda better. As you said, he is a stubborn person who likes to go all the way to the dark. Others don't hit the south wall and don't look back, but he doesn't repent after hitting the south wall, and even wants to break a hole in the south wall. Therefore, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to come to you to confess his mistakes, and it is impossible for him to have a sense of repentance. If he continues to be kept in the provincial party committee, it is likely that he will be a grain of rat feces and will spoil a pot of soup. So, I couldn't agree more with your proposal. ”

When he said this, he seemed to suddenly remember something wrong, frowned and said, "Secretary Lu, I just suddenly remembered that Xie Hongda and Wang Hai made the same mistake, and they both obtained illegal benefits in Zhenxing Company. If he was investigated and punished by the central government, but Wang Hai was only transferred from the post of secretary general of the provincial party committee and did not receive any punishment, would Xie Hongda climb out of Wang Hai when he was investigated and punished? If he does, we'll be passive. ”

Secretary Lu has actually thought about this issue for a long time. Therefore, after Qin Ge raised this question, he smiled and said confidently, "Don't worry about this question. I just told you: We are dealing with Zhou Jiqing, Wang Hai, and Xie Hongda only to purify the leading body of our provincial party committee, to get rid of the moths and black sheep hidden in our leading group, and to make our leading group more pure, more cohesive, and more combative in the future. Therefore, our principle in dealing with them is to keep a low profile as much as possible, to maintain the stability of our existing leadership as much as possible, and not to make big waves, so as to make a smooth transition to next year's party congress.

Therefore, even for Xie Hongda, when we write to the central committee, we should not expose all his crimes, but only mention that he connived at his relatives to participate in the operation of a certain company, and used his influence to facilitate the company's tax evasion. When the time comes, I will also make a suggestion to the comrades of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection who are responsible for investigating Xie Hongda's problem, and try not to transfer Xie Hongda to the judicial organs, but only give him party and government disciplinary sanctions, such as removing him from his posts inside and outside the party, or expelling him from the party or from public office, but do not pursue his legal responsibility.

In this case, Xie Hongda would not dare to bite Wang Hai out, because he was also afraid that if things got bigger, he might be sentenced to prison. In this way, it not only maintains the stability of our provincial party committee, but also is enough to punish Xie Hongda. Of course, I also know that by doing so, we are violating the rule of law principle of 'those who violate the law must be prosecuted', and we are also suspected of harboring and conniving at criminals. However, proceeding from the political stability of Tianjiang Province and from safeguarding the reputation and authority of the leading body of our provincial party committee, I think this is a method that we have no choice but to take. Otherwise, once Wang Hai, Xie Hongda, and Zhou Jiqing bite each other and cause a big storm, and finally the three members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee are investigated and sentenced, then our Tianjiang Province will really be famous throughout the country, and that kind of bad influence will be difficult to eliminate within a few years. Therefore, we are really forced to do this! ”

Speaking of this, Secretary Lu shook his head heavily, with a wry smile on his face.

Although Qin Ge is very upright and principled, he has been in the officialdom for so long, and he also knows that even if he adheres to principles, sometimes for the sake of the overall situation, he must learn to be flexible, and he must tolerate some intolerable things and do some things against his will. For example, Secretary Lu, in fact, Wang Hai, Zhou Jiqing, and Xie Hongda have all excluded him and offended him. It stands to reason that he should want to trample him to death. But now, for the sake of the political stability of Tianjiang Province and in order not to cause a major political earthquake, even if he catches the evidence of the three of them, he can only let them go against his will.

Therefore, he nodded very understandingly and said, "Secretary Lu, I understand your feelings and support your decision. Judging from the current situation, only the idea you put forward is the most correct. Ideal. Two days later, after Comrade Runji's detailed report on the case of the Xinleng County Revitalization Company came out, you and I will jointly write to the Central Committee to expose Xie Hongda's violation of discipline and law. I'll go back now and see you in the evening. When the time comes, I will definitely toast you with two glasses of wine, one is to express my gratitude, and the other is to express my respect. ”

Secretary Lu smiled and waved his hand, then rang the bell to call Xu Lizhong, who was on standby in the next office, and instructed him to send the two bags of dog legs and wolfberries to Governor Qin's car, and then shook hands with Qin Ge to say goodbye.

In the afternoon, Li Runji suddenly received a phone call to Secretary Lu. On the phone, he said in a somewhat excited tone: "Secretary Lu, I just got the news that Li Zhi confessed, and he explained it more thoroughly, explaining how his father negotiated with Wang Hai and Xie Hongda about buying shares, how to give away dry shares, how to distribute dividends, whose account the money went to, what the amount was, and so on. In addition, he also told the task force that in the safe in the bedroom of the villa where Li Botang lived, there was a top-secret ledger that recorded the details of the company's bribery of officials at all levels in the past few years. In this account book, the details of Wang Hai and Xie Hongda's shareholding are also recorded. At present, this account book has been confiscated by the task force. It is estimated that by tomorrow, we will be able to write you a detailed report on the merits of the case. ”

Secretary Lu happily said "oh" and told Secretary Li to write the report in detail, and the relevant evidence materials must be copied and sent in the report, and the sooner the better.

After telling these things, Secretary Lu suddenly remembered that he had dinner with Wu Dongsheng at night, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: Why don't you call Li Runji over to eat together? In this way, on the one hand, Wu Dongsheng can have an impression of Li Runji, a rising star in Tianjiang politics, and when it is convenient, he can also mention his name to the general secretary; On the other hand, there are still some contradictions and estrangements between him and Qin Ge now, and he can also take the opportunity of having dinner with Wu Dongsheng to be a peacemaker himself and resolve this estrangement and contradiction between them. That's a great thing to kill two birds with one stone!
