In the past few years, Ye Ming has used his special relationship with Li Runji, the former secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and his father Lu Zhiyao, to help many people in his official career, including Qiu Wangxi, director of the Provincial Party Committee Office, Guo Guangwei, secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, Chang Ying, director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Guo Guangwei, director of the Department of Land and Resources, Zhang Yingzhi, director of the Provincial Television Station, Xia Bicheng, director of the Department of Finance, and Xu Fei, chief economist of the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau. The promotion or transfer of these people is more or less related to Ye Ming's recommendation and guidance, and they all owe Ye Ming a great favor.

However, there was only one person, Ye Ming always felt sorry for him and owed him in his heart.

This person is Lu Cheng, the former deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Supreme People's Procuratorate and the current deputy director of the office.

It turned out that in the high-level power struggle that took place around the Xinleng "5.16" case three years ago, although Li Runji and Secretary Lu's faction won a big victory, Ye Ming also successfully cleared the suspicion, and the members of the task force who helped Ye Ming were basically promoted in the end, but only Lu Cheng suffered a big loss.

At that time, around the issue of whether Ye Ming should be filed, there were serious disagreements within the "5.16" task force, and Lu Cheng was angry, so he quit the task force and beat a public security officer who did not allow him to visit Ye Ming. For this reason, Zhou Jiqing, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee at that time, was furious and instructed the provincial party group of the Supreme People's Procuratorate to suspend Lu Cheng from his post for review, and to seriously deal with the problem of him violating work discipline and beating the police for no reason.

Li Yutian, the chief procurator of the provincial procuratorate at that time, had a very good relationship with Zhou Jiqing, so he suspended Lu Cheng from his post in accordance with his instructions, and soon made a punishment decision: Lu Cheng was given a serious warning within the party and an administrative demotion, demoted from the deputy department level to the department level, and adjusted his post accordingly, revoked his post as deputy director of the anti-corruption bureau, and transferred him to the office as deputy director.

Later, although Zhou Jiqing fell, Lu Cheng's punishment decision has taken effect. Lu Cheng thinks that this punishment is too severe, and has been applying for a review, and has been appealing to the above.

Ye Ming also found Li Runji, Guo Guangwei and others, told them the reason for Lu Cheng's punishment, and asked them to go to Li Yutian to talk to Lu Cheng, at least not to give him such a heavy punishment.

However, Li Yutian did not buy Li Runji and Guo Guangwei's accounts at all, insisting that the punishment of Lu Cheng was appropriate, and Li Runji and Guo Guangwei had no choice but to give up.

Therefore, in the past three years, Lu Chengcheng has been in the post of deputy director of the Provincial Supreme People's Procuratorate Office, swallowing his anger and doing the work he does not like to do, and he has to suffer from the contemptuous eyes and comments of others, until the expiration of the punishment period last year, he can be regarded as relieved......

During this period, in order to make up for his apology, Ye Ming invited him out to drink and drink tea many times, and deliberately introduced him to Guo Guangwei, Chang Ying, Qiu Wangxi and other leaders of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, laying the foundation for his future promotion.

Once when he was drinking with Lu Cheng, Ye Ming once asked him: "Brother Lu, why does Li Yutian insist on giving you such a heavy punishment?" Why did Secretary Li and Secretary Guo, two members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, go to him to intercede for you, but he didn't buy face at all? ”

At that time, Lu Cheng said with a wry smile: "Brother, there are two reasons why Li Yutian is ruthless and does not buy the accounts of Secretary Li and Secretary Guo: First, he and Zhou Jiqing are fellow villagers in a county, and their relationship is very close. After the fall of Zhou Jiqing, he was silent on the surface, but in fact, he secretly hated Secretary Li and Secretary Guo in his heart. He couldn't help Secretary Li and Secretary Zhou, so he took out his anger at me, so he insisted on giving me such a heavy punishment.

Secondly, Li Yutian was 58 years old at the time, and he would retire from the second line in two years and retire to the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. In particular, Secretary Li Runji and Secretary Guo Guangwei are both members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee who have not been promoted for a long time, while Li Yutian is a veteran deputy provincial leader who has been in the position of procurator general for seven or eight years, so he may not have taken Secretary Li and Secretary Guo seriously at all, and naturally he will not buy their face! ”

After Ye Ming heard this analysis, he suddenly realized, and felt even more sorry for Lu Cheng in his heart, so the more times he invited him to drink and drink tea, and before he was transferred to Beishan as the secretary of the county party committee, the two of them were already a pair of good brothers who talked about everything......

Now, after hearing Lu Cheng's urgent tone on the phone, Ye Ming immediately guessed a little reason, so he asked, "Brother Lu, what's the big deal?" Does it have something to do with your new attorney general? ”

"That's right! Brother, there is no need to hide between us, let me tell you bluntly: Now that the new procurator general Yu Hongjun has taken office, he will carry out a major readjustment of the heads of various departments of the provincial high procuratorate and the top leaders of the local procuratorates, and it is said that the chief procurator of your Min'an City Procuratorate is also among the adjustments. My disciplinary action has now expired and will not affect my job adjustment and promotion. Therefore, I would like to ask you to help me, find Secretary Guo of the Political and Legal Committee, and ask him to help me talk to Procurator General Yu, say hello, and adjust my position. It would be best if I could come to Min'an City to be the chief prosecutor. ”

Ye Ming had long known that Yu Hongjun was personally transferred by his father to the central government, and he was in the same class as Guo Guangwei.

However, he couldn't say death in this matter, so he said euphemistically: "Brother Lu, I can take you to Director Guo." However, with all due respect, this matter is still quite difficult, because you received a serious warning and administrative demotion from the party three years ago, although the regulations on the punishment of civil servants stipulate that after the expiration of the punishment period, it will not affect the promotion of cadres. However, Li Yutian has been operating in the provincial Supreme People's Procuratorate for many years, and he should still have a great influence on the other members of the leading group of the party group of the Supreme People's Procuratorate. If he continues to exert influence, saying that you have just been lifted from punishment and it is not suitable for promotion, and other members of the leadership team will also listen to him, then even if Prosecutor General Yu wants to promote you, it will be very difficult! ”

Lu Cheng said: "Secretary Ye, I know this. There is a saying that 'it is up to man to make things happen', and I just want to do it now, and as for whether it can be done, it depends on the will of God. Don't worry, I won't put any pressure on you, just take me to see Secretary Guo, and then you can help me say something good and recommend Secretary Guo, and that's fine. We'll think of other ways to do the rest. ”

Ye Ming heard what he said about this, so he agreed.

After hanging up Lu Cheng's phone, Ye Ming walked into the ward and suddenly asked Su Jinsong: "Old Su, you were retaliated against by others in order to avenge your father-in-law, I want to ask now: You said that your father-in-law committed suicide after being tortured in the detention center, do you have evidence for this accusation?" ”

Su Jinsong hurriedly said: "I only went to accuse when I had evidence, and I still keep those evidence!" ”
