Ye Ming saw that his father seemed to be a lot old and haggard all of a sudden, knowing that he had been waiting for the results of the search and rescue two days ago, and had suffered all the torment and pain, his heart couldn't help but be sour, and he choked up and said: "Dad, I'm fine, it's just that I've been hungry and thirsty for two days, and my physical function is a little weak, and everything else is fine...... Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't listen to your teachings, I always like to act impulsively, which led to the fact that I almost lost my life this time, and I also caused you to be afraid of me, suffer mental torture and torture, I really regret it! ”

At this, tears rolled down his cheeks like beads of broken thread.

Seeing his son's true feelings, Secretary Lu was both sour and relieved, and gently patted him on the shoulder with a generous palm, and said gently: "Don't say you're sorry." You are still young, it is inevitable to make mistakes of one kind or another, just learn from the lessons and don't blame yourself too much. I'm coming to you today to ask about your physical condition, and there's something I have to talk to you about. You wipe your tears first, and I'll tell you slowly. ”

Ye Ming vaguely guessed what his father wanted to communicate with him, so he wiped away his tears with a tissue and sat side by side on the sofa with his father.

Secretary Lu raised his head, frowned and thought for a moment, and then said in a slow tone: "Xiaoming, Comrade Wang Hao called me from Beishan in the afternoon and reported a very important matter: The problem of Zhenyu lead-zinc mine has involved three comrades, Ni Xiaohu, Liu Zitao, and Wang Xiuguang. According to him, Wu Minggao, mayor of Min'an City, provided the investigation team with two approval documents yesterday afternoon, one was the approval of the lead-zinc mine's application for prospecting scope and productive prospecting, and the other was the approval of the Zhenyu lead-zinc mine to apply for a mining license. In the former document, Liu Zitao and Wang Xiuguang signed the opinion of agreement, and in the latter document, Comrade Ni Xiaohu's approval was added.

"After verification by the joint investigation team, the two reports submitted by the Zhenyu lead-zinc mine to the Department of Land and Resources and the leaders of the provincial government were forged, and many of the documents and materials attached to the Zhenyu lead-zinc mine were forged, and the lead-zinc mine had committed illegal mining of national mineral resources in the first place, so it was absolutely not allowed to approve them to expand the mining scope, let alone apply for a mining license. However, Ni Xiaohu, Liu Zitao, and Wang Xiuguang signed the two reports one after another under the condition of being deceived. If the investigation is carried out, not only will a large number of officials and clerks from Beishan County and Min'an City to the Department of Land and Resources be investigated and punished, but the three comrades Ni Xiaohu, Liu Zitao, and Wang Xiuguang will also be unable to escape the blame and will certainly bear responsibility for dereliction of duty.

"When he saw the two approvals, Comrade Wang Hao felt very embarrassed, so he called me to ask for instructions on what to do. Later, Wang Xiuguang made another phone call to me, first admitting his mistake to me, saying that he had done a very stupid thing, and then told me in detail about the two reports he had instructed Zhenyu Lead-Zinc Mine, and reminded me that this time someone had set up a big bureau and dug a big pit, and put him, Liu Zitao, and Ni Xiaohu into it. I thought about his words carefully and felt that it made sense, so I asked you to talk to them. ”

Ye Ming asked a little confused: "Who has such great ability to dig a pit and put Governor Ni and Vice Governor Liu into it?" Do you have a suspicion in mind? ”

Secretary Lu shook his head and said: "Before there are definite facts and evidence, I can't speculate, I can only find out who is behind the scenes by talking to two comrades, Ni Xiaohu and Liu Zitao." However, I suspect that the person behind the scenes is extremely cunning, and he asked Ni Xiaohu and Liu Zitao to talk about Zhenyu's lead-zinc mine, and he must have used a very clever and covert way, and he may even be a fake hand to others. For example, he can find a central leader who has a good relationship with him to greet Ni Xiaohu and Liu Zitao, and it will be difficult for us to track it down. Moreover, even if we find out that he is behind the ghost, we have no evidence to accuse him, but we will harm the three comrades Ni Xiaohu, Liu Zitao, and Wang Xiuguang, which is the most terrible and hateful thing about that conspirator. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his head again and thought for a while, sighed and said, "Xiao Ming, I put you in Beishan to be the secretary of the county party committee, maybe it was a wrong decision, and it almost cost you your life." If my guess is correct, the interest group behind the Zhenyu lead-zinc mine began to panic after learning that you were going to Beishan to take charge. Because they know you, they know your personality, and they know that you have a tough relationship with the provincial party committee. Once you get to Beishan, you will definitely investigate and deal with the problem of Zhenyu lead-zinc mine, so they have been digging pits since then.

"Their plan should be this: after learning that you have been promoted to party secretary of Beishan County, they immediately start to forge documents and materials, first apply for an expansion of the prospecting area, and then apply for a mining license. These fake documents and materials were escorted in Beishan and Min'an, so no one went to verify the authenticity of those documents and materials, and they were sent to the Provincial Department of Land and Resources all the way. Then, the leader behind the scenes, who was hidden in the leadership of the provincial party committee, used his connections and some clever way to persuade two comrades, Ni Xiaohu and Liu Zitao, to agree to the expansion of the Zhenyu lead-zinc mine and the application for mining licenses, and signed the two reports.

"Their purpose should be twofold: if you don't find out about the problem of Zhenyu's lead-zinc mine, or if you find out that they find a way to settle you and don't investigate this matter, they will take advantage of the situation to get a formal mining license, turn the illegal into legal, and continue to make huge profits in the future; If you find out and insist on investigating and dealing with the Zhenyu lead-zinc mine, and make the case bigger, you will eventually implicate Ni Xiaohu, Liu Zitao, Wang Xiuguang and other three comrades. And the latter two were cultivated and promoted by me, which is equivalent to giving me a problem: if I insist on investigating this case to the end, Liu Zitao and Wang Xiuguang will be held accountable, which is equivalent to me slapping myself and offending Comrade Ni Xiaohu; If these three provincial leaders are not held accountable, it will be difficult for the people below to deal with it, and this case will have to be closed in the end. ”

As soon as he said this, the confidential phone on the table suddenly rang, and when he picked up the microphone and listened, it was Wang Hao calling.

"Secretary Lu, I just thought about it, the nature of the problem of Zhenyu lead-zinc mine is very serious, and there was a vicious case of murder of the secretary of the municipal legal committee and the secretary of the county party committee, and it involved the leaders at the provincial level.

Secretary Lu immediately said in a categorical tone: "Comrade Wang Hao, please calm down, this case must not be reported to the Central Committee now." I will talk to Comrade Ni Xiaohu and Comrade Liu Zitao first, and after we have clarified the situation, we will deal with it as appropriate, but we must not act recklessly. ”

Wang Hao listened to Secretary Lu's stern tone, and was stunned for a while, before he said a little unwillingly: "Okay, then I'll press it first, and I won't report to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for the time being." However, I have said it in advance: If it turns out that some of the provincial leaders are suspected of violating discipline and law, I will definitely report it to the central authorities. ”
