A few minutes later, Li Yi personally rushed to the gate of the county party committee compound with more than 20 policemen, surrounded the group of troublemakers, and then ran over to ask Ye Ming and Xu Jirong for instructions on how to deal with it.

Xu Jirong pulled him aside and whispered: "Secretary Ye instructed just now, don't arrest people for the time being today, so as not to be used by people with ulterior motives and cause adverse social impact." Wait a minute, you arrange for a dozen or so people to guard the gate of the county party committee compound and prepare the law enforcement instrument. If they attack your defensive line, record it with a law enforcement instrument, and then stop it, and resolutely don't let them rush into the courtyard to entangle Secretary Ye. ”

Li Yi nodded, called the two squadron leaders over, and asked them to assist the security guards of the county party committee office to set up a human wall at the gate of the compound to prevent the troublemakers from rushing inside. At the same time, try not to get into physical confrontation with them to prevent being used to spread rumors.

After the police and security guards set up the human wall, Li Yi personally led several police officers to escort Ye Ming to the courtyard.

At this time, Zhou Qingzhu also happened to rush over, followed Ye Ming into the office, handed over the copies of Guo Wuqiang and Li Xuhua's confession materials, and the printout of WeChat transfer records to Ye Ming, and asked what to do next.

Ye Ming frowned and thought for a while, and said slowly: "Old Zhou, my thoughts are like this: for the people who participated in gambling last night, including Xie Benyu, Cao Hui, and Wu Pinglang, let them make a statement of repentance, and all of them will be fined 1,000 yuan, and they will not be detained, they will all be released, and they will no longer be held accountable for their previous participation in gambling." At the same time, your county discipline inspection commission and the county political and legal committee will report this matter to the municipal discipline inspection commission and the municipal legal committee respectively, and the matter will be over. ”

Zhou Qingzhu was so shocked that his eyes almost fell, and asked in an incredible tone: "Secretary Ye, do you want to settle the settlement like this?" If we were to deal with it like this, wouldn't we have worked in vain? ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, paused, and asked in a low voice, "Secretary Ye, are you under pressure from above?" Is it that the leaders of the municipal party committee have instructed not to make a big deal out of it? ”

Ye Ming shook his head and said thoughtfully: "Old Zhou, I didn't deal with it like this, not because I was under pressure from above, but because I was under pressure. After returning to the hotel last night, I lay in bed and thought about it for a long time, feeling that this matter should not be too big. Why? There are three reasons for this:

"First, the people who were arrested last night were six or seven cadres at or above the senior section level alone, and there were the same number of cadres at the deputy section level. If all of them are detained and investigated by the county discipline inspection commission, it will definitely cause a huge storm of public opinion, and may become the headlines of some media and online platforms. In that case, our Kitayama will be famous, and it will be notorious. As the secretary of the county party committee, I can't do anything to ruin the image of Beishan County with my own hands.

"Second, if this matter becomes a major public opinion event, it will definitely attract the attention of the leaders of the municipal party committee and the provincial party committee. If the leaders had learned that I had personally directed this incident, although they could not say that I had done something wrong, they would have blamed me in their hearts for not having political acumen and only knowing how to act recklessly. Moreover, now some people have said that as soon as I arrived in Beishan, I took power and attacked dissidents, and if this matter is exposed, it will be even more confirmed that I used various means to eliminate dissidents and mess up Beishan's reputation, in this case, I will be burned!

"Third, generally speaking, people who have climbed to the real position in the county, in addition to the support of the main leaders of the county party committee, are likely to have backstage and backers in the municipal party committee and municipal government. Some of the people we arrested yesterday may be relatives, friends, or old subordinates of the leaders of a certain city party committee, and we know nothing about these situations. Therefore, if the handling is too heavy and the attack area is too wide, it is very likely to offend some leaders of the municipal party committee.

"What's more, I already promised Guo Wuqiang and Li Xuhua last night and promised to be lenient with them. However, if the two of them are treated leniently and the others are punished severely, it will arouse suspicion and unjustifiable suspicion. So, after thinking about it, this time I can only let them go and give them a warning first. If they do not repent and continue to violate rules and discipline after the county party committee announces the launch of a major rectification of work style and discipline, it will not be too late to severely punish them at that time! ”

Zhou Qingzhu pointed to the photocopied materials in front of Ye Ming, and asked a little unwillingly: "What about these two people?" Just let them go? According to the circumstances of their violations of discipline and law, they are completely worthy of sentencing and imprisonment! Moreover, they have been unconvinced by you and have been fighting with you openly and secretly. If you let them go this time, it will be tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain! ”

Ye Ming smiled and said: "Lao Zhou, this is not to let the tiger return to the mountain, on the contrary, we are putting these two tigers in a cage, and these materials are the iron cages that lock them up, which will trap them firmly in it and turn them into two sick cats." Why don't I report these materials to the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection? There are also two reasons for this:

"First, whether it is Liu Honda or Chen Lichang, there must be a backstage in the city or province. If these two materials are rashly reported, not only will their backstage intervene, but even Secretary Wei, Mayor Wu, including Secretary Lei, may be dissatisfied with me. Why? Less than a month after I arrived in Beishan, I wanted to overthrow the two Standing Committee members, which would not only affect the stability and unity of the Beishan leadership group, but would also think that I was 'discrediting' the leading body of the municipal party committee and make them bear leadership responsibilities as well. In this case, I will not be able to gain a foothold in Kitayama in the future.

"Second, these materials, for me, are the two 'hole cards' against Liu Honda and Chen Lichang. You should know that you can't just show your opponent your hole cards. I have these two hole cards in my hand and can submit both of them at any time. This is a sure win for me, so why play these two hole cards too early? ”

Speaking of this, he paused, glanced at Zhou Qingzhu meaningfully, and said: "Old Zhou, you are frank and upright, and you are very capable and prestigious, I admire you very much, and I also very much hope that you can go to the next level, assist me in doing a good job in the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and manage the cadres of the county, so that I can achieve my other goals." I believe that with Liu Honda's actions, he will not sit in the position of secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection for a long time. When the time comes, I will do my best to recommend you to be the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. I'm not making a wish to you, it's really my heart's true thoughts! ”

Zhou Qingzhu knew that Ye Ming was not a person who liked to talk about things and like to please him, since he said so, he must have a way to pull Liu Honda off the horse and help himself to the top in his mind, there was no burst of ecstasy, his cheeks flushed with excitement, and he couldn't stop thanking Ye Ming.

At this moment, his mobile phone rang suddenly, and when he looked at the number, it was Yang Jianhua calling, so he didn't answer the phone first, and said to Ye Ming: "Secretary Ye, this call was made by Yang Jianhua, it is estimated that he is looking for me to discuss the matter of dealing with those gamblers lightly, how should I reply to him?" ”

Ye Ming said: "It's very simple, you just say that you can't call the shots, and ask him to call me, and I'll tell him." ”
