After Secretary Lu explained at length the reason for convening the Standing Committee today, there was a brief silence in the conference room. Everyone is thinking carefully about the meaning of Secretary Lu's words, and they are thinking about how to express their position.

Zhou Jiqing knew that Secretary Lu's words were aimed at him, and he also knew that his accusation against the 5.16 task force was actually criticizing himself, the secretary of the political and legal committee who presided over the behind-the-scenes work of the task force, without naming him. So, when Secretary Lu said the end, his face turned redder and uglier, and by the time Secretary Lu finished speaking, he was already angry.

He was originally a short-tempered, unruly and reckless man, and compared with Qin Ge, Xie Hongda and others, the city government was not so deep, and he had a temper that jumped at the touch of a button. Now he is criticized by Secretary Lu without naming him, and Secretary Lu's position in his words is obvious: he supports and strongly supports Li Runji, and repeatedly says that the young cadre surnamed Ye in Xinleng County has been wronged, and someone wants to falsely accuse and frame him - this makes him both annoyed and unconvinced.

So, he grabbed the meaning of Secretary Lu's words to protect Ye Ming, and retorted with a blushing face: "Secretary Lu, I can't accept your criticism just now. I was sent out by the 16 May task force, and I have always been leading this task force to carry out the investigation work. I have the most say in the inside story of this case. Regarding Ye Ming's question, you said that someone deliberately wronged him, and someone wanted to use Ye Ming's matter to rectify Comrade Runji, I think your words are a bit biased and unfair.

"As far as I know: all of Ye Ming's problems, including his bribery, shielding and protecting the underworld leader Gong Zhichao, were all reported by local insiders in Xinleng, and there is conclusive evidence, not that the task force fabricated his illegal and criminal facts out of thin air. And all the posts and reports about him on the Internet and in the media, the people who posted them attached videos and relevant evidence, and they were not fabricated casually. 5.16 What is wrong with the task force summoning Ye Ming based on the evidence provided by the whistleblower?

"As for Ye Ming's matter involving Comrade Runji, we didn't expect this in advance. Moreover, it was not our task force that first broke out this information, but some insiders in Xinleng who broke the information to the media and reporters, and it was not the task force that instructed the reporters to release this information. And, as you just said: those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid! If Comrade Runji had nothing to do with Ye Ming's matter, the organization would have found it out, and he would not have been able to put it on this Standing Committee to discuss this matter.

"Today, since Secretary Lu has convened such a meeting, I will take this opportunity to inform you of the progress of the Xinleng 5.** case and the direction of the next investigation: According to the repeated investigation and verification of the task force, Ye Ming did collude with Xinleng's underworld leader Gong Zhichao, and indeed used his relationship to obstruct the investigation of Gong Zhichao by the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government of K City, allowing him to escape the sanctions, and finally caused the Xinleng 5.16 bloody case.

Therefore, the task force has now decided to take criminal detention measures against Ye Ming, and it will be executed tomorrow morning. As the secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, I would like to solemnly make a suggestion to Secretary Lu here: The investigation and handling of the Xinleng 5.16 case is now the responsibility of the special case team, and it is also a criminal investigation. There is no need for the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee to discuss such a specific case, let alone interfere in the investigation of this case. I think this is the end of today's meeting, there is no need to continue! ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the participants showed surprises and surprises. Many members of the Standing Committee set their eyes on Zhou Jiqing, feeling that his last words were too much. Even Qin Ge glared at him with dissatisfiedness, obviously blaming him for not saying such things that were obviously against Secretary Lu on such an occasion.

Only Wang Hai and Xie Hongda showed a hint of schadenfreude on their faces, and they felt extremely happy in their hearts.

Li Runji's face turned purple because of anger, his fists were clenched, and he just wanted to stretch out his palm to slam the table, ready to scold Zhou Jiqing, but saw Secretary Lu staring at him, his eyes were gentle and calm, and he winked at him imperceptibly, signaling him not to be impulsive.

Li Runji saw that Secretary Lu looked calm, and he was not angry because of Zhou Jiqing's rude and offensive words, knowing that he must have an idea in his heart, so he swallowed hard and barely suppressed the anger in his heart.

There was an awkward silence in the room again.

Zhou Jiqing's last few words were actually planned for a long time, just to test Secretary Lu and see how he would react to such words that offended him by his subordinates: if he jumped like thunder, it would prove that he lacked self-cultivation, and he would definitely leave an impetuous impression on the participants; If he is discouraged and compromises to himself, it proves that he is not authoritative and incapable - all in all, no matter how Secretary Lu responds, it may damage his image.

After seeing that Secretary Lu didn't react to his provocation for a while, Zhou Jiqing thought that Secretary Lu was afraid of himself, and saw that Wang Hai, Xie Hongda and others were looking at him with encouraging eyes, and he couldn't help but be a little complacent, so he continued: " On the question of whether or not to continue to discuss the Xinleng 16 May case, I think we can also vote on it now: If the majority of comrades feel that it is necessary to discuss this case at the Standing Committee, then we will continue to discuss it; if the majority of comrades feel that there is no need to discuss such a case here, then we will not discuss it, and Secretary Lu will decide whether to discuss other major issues. ”

As soon as he said this, Secretary Lu suddenly stood up, waved his hand and said, "Comrade Jiqing, there is no need to vote by raising your hand." Since you, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, don't think it's necessary to discuss the 5.** case here, then we won't discuss it. I now declare: the meeting is adjourned! ”

Secretary Lu's move once again made the participants inexplicable. Even Zhou Jiqing didn't expect Secretary Lu to suddenly announce the dismissal of the meeting, and he felt like he was punched in an empty place, and stood there stunned for a long time before he walked out of the conference room full of doubt.

Li Runji followed Secretary Lu to his office and asked a little puzzledly: "Secretary Lu, what is the purpose of your convening of this meeting today?" Why is it suddenly not on again in the middle of the drive? Could it be that he was afraid that Zhou Jiqing would not succeed? ”

Secretary Lu turned around, smiled and said, "I held this meeting today to give Zhou Jiqing a chance, and I also wanted to wake him up, knock him and beat him to see if he could restrain himself from the precipice and stop engaging in any more conspiracies." In that case, maybe we can live peacefully with him for a while. However, judging from the current situation, he is obsessed. I have already done my best to be benevolent, and if I can't persuade him, then I can only come hard...... By the way, what's the situation in Texas? Did Zhou Jiqing's woman control it? ”

Li Runji nodded suddenly and said, "At noon, I got a report from the Texas Commission for Discipline Inspection that they have controlled her and are organizing a surprise trial. ”
