Yan Lian didn't wait for Li Botang to finish speaking, so he said in a hurried tone: "Mr. Li, something big has happened!" Secretary Zhou just called me and asked me to immediately lift Ye Ming's criminal detention and release him tomorrow morning. Not only that, but he also ordered us to release Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua together. Listening to Secretary Zhou's tone, the attitude of releasing people is very resolute and unquestionable. We can't figure out what happened now, and we don't know why there was such a sudden change. ”

"What?"

When Li Botang heard these words, it was as if he had been splashed with a bucket of ice water on his head, and he only felt a bone-penetrating coolness swishing from his back to the top of his head, and his eyes were bulging in surprise, and the expression on his face was like an old toad with bulging eyes.

"Team Leader Yan, did you inquire with Secretary Zhou about the reasons and reasons for the release of Ye Ming and the others? Didn't Secretary Zhou hate Li Runji the most and wanted to trample Li Runji under his feet the most? Moreover, he had already turned against Lu Zhiyao at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee yesterday, and he had no reason to give this order! ”

After sobering up a little, Li Botang was so anxious that he asked Yan Lian a series of questions.

Yan Lian is also like falling into a fog at the moment, where do you know the reason?

However, he understands Zhou Jiqing's character better than Li Botang, and knows that Zhou Jiqing was originally known as "Zhou Manzi", acting domineering and domineering, liking to go his own way, and easily not listening to other people's opinions. He was on the Standing Committee yesterday because of Ye Ming's affair against Secretary Lu, but today he suddenly took a 180-degree turn, and even ordered the task force to release Ye Ming in a non-negotiable tone, there is definitely something huge hidden in this.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Yan Lian said worriedly: "Mr. Li, I am just like you, now I am in a state of fog, and I can't figure out what happened!" The reason that Secretary Zhou told me just now is that after deliberation and weighing, he felt that Secretary Lu's speech at the Standing Committee was correct, and there was indeed no solid evidence and sufficient factual basis for the arrest of Ye Ming. Therefore, he is now ordering us to release Ye Ming and others, which is to implement Secretary Lu's instructions and correct the deviations in the handling of the case by the task force - Mr. Li, listen: What kind of reason is this! If we want to say that there is a deviation in our case, that we have wronged Ye Ming and others, it is also under the instructions of Secretary Zhou that we did this! It's good now, with an order from his old man, he will clean up his responsibilities. At that time, if this case is overturned, Li Runji and Ye Ming will get their will, and we, the subordinates who are trying our best to help him, will have to carry the black pot and be rectified! ”

Because of the suddenness of the incident, he was not mentally prepared, so Yan Lian was full of resentment towards Zhou Jiqing, and couldn't help but make a fuss.

Although Li Botang was also extremely shocked in his heart, he was not discouraged, but comforted Yan Lian and said: "Secretary Yan, you don't have to be too anxious, there is still room for turning around in this matter." I'll call Secretary-General Wang and Minister Xie Hongda later, and report this matter to them to see if they know about it. I estimate that this matter should be a decision made by Secretary Zhou alone. Minister Xie and Secretary-General Wang may not know. Otherwise, Secretary-General Wang will give me feedback first. ”

Yan Lian listened to his analysis, but he felt even more that something was wrong: if this matter was made by Zhou Jiqing alone, and Xie Hongda, Wang Hai and others didn't know about it, then it would really be a big deal - because he knew very well: Zhou Jiqing, Xie Hongda, Wang Hai and the other three were all an alliance of interests, and this time they were ready to unite to overthrow Li Runji. The decision to arrest Ye Ming was also made after they had been discussing. If Zhou Jiqing decided to release Ye Ming without consulting Xie Hongda and Wang Hai now, then there must be a big name here, and there must be a big risk hidden in him......

Thinking of this, he panicked even more, hurriedly said a few more words to Li Botang, and quickly asked him to call Wang Hai and Xie Hongda, and then stopped the call.

After hanging up Li Botang's phone, Yan Lian did not stop for a moment, and immediately dialed Zhou Jiqing's mobile phone number again.

"Secretary Zhou, I take the liberty to ask you: You just ordered me to release Ye Ming, Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua, have you discussed this matter with Minister Xie of the Organization Department and Secretary General Wang of the Provincial Party Committee Office? What did the two leaders say? ”

Zhou Jiqing was already depressed and irritable in his heart, but now listening to Yan Lian once again questioning his orders, and asking him if he had discussed it with Xie Hongda and Wang Hai, he couldn't help but be angry, and almost roared on the phone: "Yan Lian, who are you listening to?" Who is leading you? Is it Wang Hai or Xie Hongda? I am the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and I am the direct leader and final decision-maker of the Xinleng 5.16 task force. The order I gave must be carried out to the letter, what is the matter with Guan Wanghai and Xie Hongda? One of them is run by the provincial party committee and the other is from the organization department, and they have nothing to do with Xinleng's criminal case. I'm going to make a decision, why should I go with them? Did you get into the water in the head or were you kicked by a donkey? ”

This head-splitting reprimand suddenly stunned Yan Lian Xun: What's going on? Haven't Secretary Zhou, Secretary-General Wang Hai, and Minister Xie Hongda always been close comrades-in-arms? Regarding the investigation of the 5.16 case, haven't they been discussing it all the time? Why would Secretary Zhou say such things now? Could it be that he fell out with Secretary-General Wang and Minister Xie?

Yan Lian is Zhou Jiqing's cronies, and in the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, he only has Zhou Jiqing as a backstage and backer. Therefore, at this moment, when he saw Zhou Jiqing angry, although he was very aggrieved, he didn't dare to contradict him, so he had to stammer: "Secretary Zhou, you misunderstood what I meant!" I just asked you that, but I was a little strange in my heart, and I wanted to be cautious. You know: I never compromise on your instructions and orders. But in the matter of releasing Ye Ming, Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua, because this matter is widely implicated and has a great stake, I am worried that there will be troubles, so I would like to ask you the real reason. Since you don't want to say it, then I won't ask anymore, and I'll carry out your order immediately! ”

Zhou Jiqing heard Yan Lian say this, and he also regretted a little in his heart that his attitude was too bad just now, and he shouldn't treat this loyal old subordinate like this. So, he changed his tone and said in a sad tone: "Yan Lian, let me tell you the truth: the reason for this is not something you can inquire about. Sooner or later, this battle we are waging will end with the defeat of our camp on all fronts! I am now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect myself, and it will be difficult to take care of you in the future. You'd better find a way to protect yourself! ”
