After listening to Xu Lizhong's report, Secretary Lu's face, which had been tense, suddenly showed a hint of relief, looked at Xu Lizhong with his eyes, and said slowly after a long time: "Lizhong, it seems that Ye Ming's vision is good: he once highly recommended two comrades, Qing Tao and Zhang Yingzhi, to me, saying that they have good character and strong ability. Whether the ability to read the whole text is strong or not, it is still not very clear. However, the good character proves that his judgment is right. In the current situation where the whole country is crusading against Ye Ming, they can stick to their judgment and dare to resist the so-called instructions of the main leaders of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, which is commendable, and it is also a concrete manifestation of a person's character and official character. ”

Speaking of this, he lowered his head again and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to Xu Lizhong: "Lizhong, you can make a phone call to the two comrades Qingtao and Zhang Yingzhi now, and say that I fully affirm their attitude of adhering to the correct guidance of public opinion, insisting on not believing rumors and spreading rumors, and resolutely resisting some unhealthy tendencies. At the same time, you want them to be reassured that they're doing the right thing. As for the erroneous instructions made by individual leading cadres of the provincial party committee in the name of the organization, we should resolutely resist them, but we should not blindly follow them! ”

Secretary Lu gave this instruction to Xu Lizhong for two purposes: first, to praise and encourage Qingtao and Zhang Yingzhi to adhere to the correct position, and show that he was very satisfied with their performance this time, so that they were greatly encouraged and strengthened their determination to follow themselves; Second, he was worried that Zhou Jiqing and even Qin Ge might put pressure on the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government of M City and the provincial TV station to force them to report the news of Ye Ming's arrest. Therefore, he wanted to tell them through Xu Lizhong's mouth that he, the secretary of the provincial party committee, was opposed to reporting this case. In this way, no matter who pressures them, they will know in their hearts and will never change their previous decision......

Sure enough, after receiving Xu Lizhong's phone call with a little praise and comfort, Qingtao and Zhang Yingzhi were very excited on the phone, and Zhang Yingzhi even smirked like a child with joy.

After the excitement, they all expressed their attitude to Xu Lizhong in a very firm tone: Please ask Director Xu to tell Secretary Lu that the unit must resolutely implement Secretary Lu's instructions, stick to the party's public opinion propaganda position, do not believe rumors, and do not create opportunities for some people with ulterior motives to slander and slander the leaders of the provincial party committee......

After listening to Xu Lizhong's relays of Qingtao and Zhang Yingzhi's words, Secretary Lu nodded with satisfaction, and then said softly to Xu Lizhong as if he was talking to himself: "The two comrades Qingtao and Zhang Yingzhi can be of great use in the future!" ”

Xu Lizhong didn't dare to answer, but just nodded to Secretary Lu and praised his judgment.

Secretary Lu waved Xu Lizhong out, and then sat down on the chair behind the desk, his eyes were half-squinted, and his hands unconsciously twisted the pencil he had been holding in his hand, and began to fall into a state of contemplation.

After thinking about it for about a quarter of an hour, Secretary Lu seemed to have finally made a big decision, opened his half-squinted eyes with a little murderous aura in his eyes, suddenly straightened his waist, picked up the red confidential telephone microphone on the table, and first dialed the mobile phone of Wang Yong, the Propaganda Minister of the Provincial Party Committee. Ask him to come to his office.

Wang Yong is the leader of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee who has just been promoted, and now he is very close to Secretary Lu and Secretary Li, and he can be regarded as a cadre in the "new faction" camp headed by Secretary Lu.

He was very respectful to Secretary Lu, when he entered Secretary Lu's office, he was half-bent over, and he always had a more humble smile on his face.

Secretary Lu is a leader who is very good at being a person, and he is generally very easy-going and humble for people who respect him. Therefore, after Wang Yong came in, he walked out from behind the desk as he understood Secretary Li, took the initiative to reach out and shake Wang Yong, and sat down side by side on the sofa with him.

Because he was a member of his own camp, Secretary Lu didn't say too many polite words, nor did he beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Comrade Wang Yong, I invited you here today because I wanted you to do something." You should also see that early this morning, a large number of posts and reports on some web portals and some news media suddenly appeared exposing the inside story of the Xinleng County 5.** case, and these reports and posts were menacing and had the potential to ignite a prairie fire. I've just taken a closer look at the posts and reports, and most of them are speculations that have no factual basis or evidence, and many of them are trumped-up charges.

Moreover, the tendencies and purposes of these posts and reports are very clear, that is, they want to point the finger at Comrade Runji and pour dirty water on Comrade Runji through the investigation and handling of this case. However, the propaganda departments of many prefectures, cities and prefectures in the province, as well as some news media, cannot see the hidden conspiracy behind this incident. In other words, the responsible persons of the propaganda departments in some localities have already seen this conspiracy, but because they have been manipulated by a small number of people, they have lost their principles and stands, and they have added fuel to the fire on television and newspapers, distorted the facts, and made irresponsible reports, which have objectively helped some conspirators and have also had an extremely bad impact on Comrade Runji's reputation and prestige!

"Therefore, my opinion is: When you return to your office, you should immediately call the heads of the propaganda departments of the 14 prefectures, cities, and prefectures one by one, interview them by telephone, and ask them not to report any news about the 5.** case. If the case has already been reported in the newspapers, the newspaper should be instructed to buy back as many newspapers as possible and to do everything possible to eliminate its negative impact. If anyone continues to report the so-called inside story of this case, the relevant responsible persons will be punished by party and government discipline. If it is serious, the person directly responsible will be investigated for defamation! ”

Wang Yong is the Minister of Propaganda, of course, he has already seen that those online posts and news reports are aimed at Secretary Li Runji, and he is also looking for something to do to show his attitude to Secretary Lu and let him have a better impression of himself.

Therefore, after listening to Secretary Lu's instructions, he immediately stood up, with a very serious expression on his face, and said in a very resolute tone: "Secretary Lu, don't worry, I will go to those propaganda ministers and the editors-in-chief of the big newspapers to talk to one by one, convey and implement the spirit of your instructions, and we must not let our propaganda position become a tool for some careerists and conspirators to attack and frame Comrade Runji!" ”
