Li Runji heard Secretary Lu say that he should not take down Zhou Jiqing for the time being, and asked a little strangely: "Secretary Lu, Zhou Jiqing is making such a lot of noise now, and his arrogance is so arrogant, and now he is preparing to rectify Guo Guangwei, Liang Tang, Chen Guitian and others, and he will also detain Ye Ming." If we let it go on, I'm afraid we won't be able to end it! In case Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua couldn't withstand the pressure of interrogation, and explained to the task force that Guo Guangwei arranged for them to help Ye Ming and Gong Zhichao, not only Guo Guangwei would be difficult to protect, but Ye Ming would also be imprisoned! Therefore, I think our top priority is to eliminate Zhou Jiqing, control the Xinleng task force, and try to release Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua as soon as possible, so as to ensure that Guo Guangwei and Ye Ming will not be charged.

"Moreover, I just took a look at Li Qian's confession materials, Zhou Jiqing's violation of discipline and law, the facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, and just according to Li Qian's confession, the amount of bribes they jointly accepted is very huge, enough for him to sit through the prison. Now that the central authorities are fighting corruption so vigorously, I believe that as long as you report Zhou Jiqing's problem to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, he will definitely be investigated and punished. In this way, we can save a lot of trouble! ”

Secretary Lu shook his head and said, "Runji, I can understand your feelings. I'll just tell you one thing: sometimes, it is also a state of elimination, and it is a good state! We have now caught Zhou Jiqing's fox tail and can cut it off at any time. However, whether to cut or not, and when is the best time to cut, we have to make the best choice and judgment. I thought about it repeatedly, in the current situation, whether it is Zhou Jiqing or Xie Hongda Wang Hai, we will only pinch their fox tails, but we will not kill people. We must maintain a high-pressure state for them with a sharp sword hanging over the top but not triggering it, first knock out their arrogance, govern them obediently, and then consider punishing them later.

"Why am I doing this? I have already told you about the reasons for this last time, and I will tell you again briefly: First, I have only been in office in Tianjiang for more than a year, and my primary task is to maintain the overall situation of political harmony, harmony, and stability in Tianjiang Province. In that case, whether it is the central or local government, they will have an opinion of me, thinking that I am a **** person and a person who cannot tolerate others. In that case, how can I still gain a foothold in Tianjiang?

"Second, you should also be clear: To investigate and punish a provincial and ministerial-level cadre like Zhou Jiqing, especially if he is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has the final say, and it must be reported to the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and all the Standing Committee members of the Politburo Standing Committee must unanimously approve it before organizational measures can be taken against him. Of course, if we have to take organizational measures against Zhou Jiqing's case of violating discipline and law with conclusive evidence, all members of the Politburo Standing Committee, including those who are willing to protect him, will certainly not speak for him. However, it is one thing for these leaders not to speak for Zhou Jiqing, but it is another thing for them to have opinions and opinions on whether or not they have opinions and opinions on me! In that case, even if Zhou Jiqing is investigated and punished, in the minds of some leaders of the Standing Committee, I will definitely leave the impression of disrespecting them and intolerable people, which will not benefit me.

"Third, next year will be the year of the five-year party committee re-election, which is only a few months away. If I do something to Zhou Jiqing and others at this time, it will inevitably leave a bad impression on people who purge dissidents and establish the same party. The central authorities are very vigilant and disgusted by this kind of behavior of the party and fighting against differences, and I do not want to be criticized by others at this critical moment. Moreover, when the party committee is about to change its term, we must not allow major turmoil in the provincial party committee's body, so as not to affect the work of the party committee. ”

When Li Runji heard this, he finally understood Secretary Lu's good intentions. At the same time, he also vaguely guessed: Secretary Lu is not investigating Zhou Jiqing and others now, mainly because of next year's party committee general election - because many people say: At next year's national party congress, Secretary Lu is likely to enter the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. In this situation, Secretary Lu must maintain a good relationship with the current Politburo Standing Committee and not offend any of them. Otherwise, even if he has the strong support of the No. 1 leader, his desire to enter the Politburo is likely to be vetoed by those leaders of the Standing Committee who are dissatisfied with him.

Therefore, Secretary Lu can't think of doing anything to Zhou Jiqing and other people who have backers and backers in the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee for the time being, so as not to arouse the suspicion and dissatisfaction of those Standing Committee members and affect his own political future......

Of course, Li Runji's speculations and ideas can only turn around in his mind, and he doesn't dare to say it to Secretary Lu.

Therefore, after listening to Secretary Lu's three reasons, he just nodded his head incessantly, and then asked him again: "Secretary Lu, then what do we do with Zhou Jiqing's illegal and criminal evidence now?" What should we tell the head of the central inspection team, Jin? ”

Secretary Lu pondered for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, you bring those materials, I'll take a closer look in the afternoon, and I'll talk to Zhou Jiqing alone in the evening." As for Team Leader Jin, I said when I invited him to dinner yesterday: The situation in Tianjiang is very complicated now, and it is facing a change of party committee. Therefore, I still want to focus on stability, and I don't want to make a big move to move the current team for the time being, and ask him to take into account the actual situation in Tianjiang and temporarily suppress Zhou Jiqing's problem.

"Of course, Zhou Jiqing's problem is so serious, it is not possible not to investigate and punish him. However, the central inspection team should consider the timing of this investigation, and it is best to delay it a little. Team Leader Jin said that he fully respected my opinion, temporarily suppressed Zhou Jiqing's problem, and waited for the best time to investigate and deal with it. So, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Secretary Li knew that Secretary Lu was now in his chest, so he didn't say anything anymore and left.

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Secretary Lu personally made a phone call to Zhou Jiqing, saying that he was invited to his office in the evening and had important things to talk to him.

Since Zhou Jiqing confronted Secretary Lu at the Standing Committee yesterday, and Secretary Lu did not react violently, he mistakenly thought that Secretary Lu was a little timid of himself now, so his self-confidence and complacency rose sharply.

Now, when he heard Secretary Lu take the initiative to talk to him, he thought that he was going to talk to him about the Xinleng 5.** case, and it was likely that he wanted to say good things for Li Runji and Guo Guangwei and others, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, thinking that you Lu Zhiyao would also have a day to plead with me and say good things! It seems that his own struggle strategy is still very effective - at least, Lu Zhiyao, who has rarely looked at him squarely, is now taking the initiative to talk to him!
