The special case group and members of the economic investigation team held an emergency meeting overnight. Liu Mingjian came from Chunjiang, and after listening to the report of the economic investigation team, Liu Mingjian was also dumbfounded. He has already obtained a lot of evidence on the criminal facts of Hu Ad, Pan Jinju and others using ** officials as protective umbrellas to obtain bidding information in advance in the bidding for projects, making false bids, and then making additional investments through various means to dig up the foot of the state wall and seek illegal benefits from them, but he did not expect that this would be the case.

What to do? After the task force meeting, Jin Ziyang and Liu Mingjian hurriedly reported to Secretary Pang. Secretary Pang was also shocked, he originally expected that Hu Ade and Ge Tao would definitely have something to do with it, but the relationship was so deep and there were so many people involved in the case, it was still beyond his imagination.

"A poisonous snake! How can he ......" Secretary Pang stopped halfway through his words, and his eyes fell on Jin Ziyang's face in confusion, this was a rare confusion for him, Jin Ziyang and Liu Mingjian felt more and more that this case was tricky, two people, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't speak.

"No way, flies don't bite seamless eggs, close the Internet bar." After a long time, Secretary Pang said in a deep voice. After speaking, he added: "I always hope that they can turn themselves in and take the initiative to review the organization, but unfortunately, these two people have slipped too far." A shadow slipped across Secretary Pang's face, and it could be seen that he didn't want to see things develop to this point.

"It's because they're too greedy and greedy." Liu Mingjian said.

"Such a comrade, if you don't save it, don't save it." Secretary Pang looked into the distance, as if he said another sentence reluctantly.

After discussing the matter of Ge and Tao, Jin Ziyang asked uncertainly: "What about Comrade Peiming?" Isn't it also ......?"

Secretary Pang waved his hand decisively: "His situation is different, and I still have hope for him." Wait a little longer, give him a little more time. ”

Jin Ziyang and Liu Mingjian came out with something on their minds, and they didn't have the slightest sense of joy in their hearts about the anti-corruption battle that was about to start, after all, it was a very painful thing for such a corrupt and degenerate person to appear among comrades. The two walked out of the provincial party committee compound in silence, and the moment they got into the car, Liu Mingjian suddenly said: "There may be someone else in the Chunjiang painted pottery case, and we have wronged Comrade Peiming in this matter." ”

Jin Ziyang didn't express surprise, Sheng An still handed over the pottery to him two months ago, stating that it was given to him by Li Ximin, even if Feng Peiming could rule out suspicion, what about Li Ximin?

In contrast, Jin Ziyang was more reluctant for Li Ximin to have an accident.

The two of them returned to the hotel with a heavy heart, and the comrades of the task force were waiting for them, and on this day in Jinjiang City, the air seemed to be extraordinarily solemn, and everyone's hearts were heavy. At 10 o'clock in the morning, the Commission for Discipline Inspection finally made a decision to impose "double regulations" on Deputy Director Ge of the Organization Department, Deputy Director Tao of the Public Security Department, and Secretary of the Party Committee of Jiangbei University. At the same time, the members of the economic investigation team also received an order to immediately control Pan Jinju!

Half an hour after the order was issued, Jin Ziyang and Liu Mingjian still had a layer of gloom on their faces, and the two almost invariably remembered the same person: Feng Peiming, chairman of the CPPCC!

Feng Peiming hasn't been to work for two days, it's not that he's in a mood, this time, he's really sick.

Three days ago, he felt unwell and wanted to go to the hospital to see, he was getting older, and all parts of his body were going to get along with him one by one, either he was uncomfortable here, or there was a strike, in short, in the past two years, his physical condition has been getting worse and worse year by year. Feng Peiming was just about to call the driver when Li Ximin came in.

To be honest, at this time, Feng Peiming didn't want to see these subordinates, especially Li Ximin. He always felt that in his many years of political career, he did not have a caring person around him, although he had been working hard from beginning to end, wanting to establish such a camp, a camp that was full of political passion, dared to take risks, dared to innovate, dared to cross the thunder pool that others did not dare to cross, touched the forbidden place that others did not dare to touch, and could touch the camp that could produce results and political achievements. He called this camp the reformists, fighting against conservatives like Xia Wentian. The struggle and confrontation are not for the purpose of achieving his personal goals, but in his heart, he really wants to do a great job and make things happen in Jiangbei, especially the cause of higher education in Jiangbei, which must be at the forefront of the country. For this reason, Feng Peiming is ambitious and high-spirited, however, how many years have passed, the blueprint he has drawn in his mind has not been realized, and the ideal is farther away from reality.

Is he wrong, or is reality wrong? Feng Peiming has been thinking about this question for a long time.

Recently, I have heard some news intermittently, all of which are related to the people around him and his camp. At first, Feng Peiming didn't believe it, thinking that it was a rumor, someone else took the opportunity to attack him, disintegrate him, want to completely isolate him, and wanted him to leave the political arena as soon as possible. Feng Peiming was angry and anxious about this, and fell into a lack of confidence and uncomposure that he had never felt before. Secretary Pang went to Jiangbei to serve as the number one, which did not have any impact on him, but when he reached the age, he should go to the second line, and he should go to the backstage, and the CPPCC is not an absolute backstage, as long as he wants to do things, there are still opportunities. But Pang Binlai has a close relationship with Xia Wentian, and he has worked with Xia Wentian before, which makes him uncomfortable. walked a Xia Wentian, and another Pang Bin came, all of whom disagreed with his political views and those who had prejudices against him. Invisibly, he had an estrangement and distance from Secretary Pang. This distance is his heart disease, his pain.

How did I get to this point? The thought popped into his mind, and as soon as it came out, he became more and more restless, more and more irritable, more and more impatient, less judgmental, and less discerning. As a politician – yes, Feng Peiming has always praised himself as a politician, never considered himself just a politician, an official, and being a politician was his dream and his life's goal. People should have goals, as a politician, Feng Peiming has not reduced himself to that level, he is only an ordinary official, and he is unwilling. Politician, what a dazzling and weighty word, Feng Peiming is often so excited that he can't sleep! As a politician, you must not only have vision and goals, but also have extraordinary calmness, keen vision, insight into everything, and the ability to control everything! It's a pity that he can think of many things, but he can't do it.

It's overwhelming. Until now, Feng Peiming finally let out such a sigh. He admitted that in his life, he had dreams and brilliance, but he also had to admit that in this life, there were more failures than success.

Why are all the people in his camp who have accidents, why are the people around him who take advantage of the loopholes, and why are all those who are hungry for profit vote under him Feng Peiming? Xia Wentian didn't have this trouble, although there were not many people around Xia Wentian, everyone had opinions about this person, but in the end, he was still standing there in a dignified manner. What like him, now he is burnt and embattled!

Feng Peiming sighed heavily, looked up and asked Li Ximin, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Li Ximin didn't answer, and walked to the sofa and sat down with a gloomy face.

"Look at you, this person, I asked you what you said, didn't you hear?" As he spoke, he coughed very hard.

Li Ximin saw that his face was flushed and almost out of breath, and he hurriedly got up: "It doesn't matter, right?" ”

Feng Peiming coughed a few more times, finally stopped, and threw Li Ximin angrily: "Do you still know to ask?" ”

Li Ximin looked at his face, it didn't look like a minor illness, he had been with him for so many years, and he still had this judgment. If it was a minor illness, Feng Peiming would not let others find out, when he was in the city, directing the flood relief, he suffered from acute gastritis, but insisted on surviving the scene for two nights. Feng Peiming is a tough guy in this regard.

Li Ximin hurriedly poured a cup of hot boiling water, and dialed 120 as soon as he picked up the phone. Feng Peiming said irritably: "If you want to shout so that the whole city knows, call the driver and accompany me to the hospital." ”

Half an hour later, the car came to the city hospital, and after some examination, the doctor suspected that it was interstitial pneumonia, but he could not be sure and needed to be hospitalized for observation. As soon as he heard that he was hospitalized, Feng Peiming was dissatisfied: "Don't you cough a few times, what hospital will you live in?" Get a hanging needle and go back after the injection. ”

When the driver accompanied Feng Peiming to the injection, Li Ximin quietly walked out of the treatment room and called the director of the hospital. In the doctor's office, Li Ximin told the vice president about the situation, and the vice president called the attending doctor, who did not know that Feng Peiming was the chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference just now. The vice dean hurriedly said, "Don't be nervous, just say your opinion." The attending doctor said: "Chairman Feng's health is very bad, I suspect that it is caused by adenovirus, and if it is not treated in time, it will cause necrotizing bronchitis." Li Ximin didn't understand medicine, and when he heard the word necrosis, he exclaimed: "Is the situation very serious, do you want to set up an expert group?" The vice president shook his head and introduced him to interstitial pneumonia, saying that the disease could be completely controlled, but the patient had to cooperate.

When the vice president discussed the treatment plan with the attending doctor, Li Ximin called Shu Boyang, and he reproached on the phone: "How can you be the secretary general, Chairman Feng's illness has been lurking in his body for more than two years, and you didn't even notice it." When Shu Boyang heard this, he was also panicked for a while, he asked Li Ximin to wait in the hospital, and he arrived immediately.

An hour later, the air in the hospital suddenly became tense, mainly because Shu Boyang brought Feng Peiming's secretary when he came, the 30-year-old secretary section chief had never dealt with this kind of thing, thinking that the chairman's hospitalization was a big deal, he took the phone and called more than 10 department leaders within 10 minutes, all of whom were close to Feng Peiming on weekdays. As soon as these people came, the hospital couldn't be quiet if it wanted to. Li Ximin looked uncomfortable, and it was not easy to talk to the secretary directly, so he took an opportunity and hinted to Shu Boyang, and Shu Boyang found that the orderly treatment work just now had a different flavor because of the secretary's phone call. He called the secretary to the corridor and said, "Do you want the people of the whole province to know?" The secretary just wanted to argue, Shu Boyang said with a dark face: "It's none of your business here, you can go back." ”

After sending away the troublesome secretary and persuading the department leaders who rushed to visit after hearing the news, Shu Boyang went downstairs to go through the hospitalization procedures. After everything was arranged, it was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and Feng Peiming insisted on not letting them stay in the ward: "Go back, go back, you stay here, I look upset." ”

Shu Boyang knew that Feng Peiming wanted to be quiet, if they insisted on staying, he wouldn't even lose the liquid. So he told the driver, and the two left the ward, and when they went downstairs, Shu Boyang suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how do you know that he is not feeling well?" ”

Li Ximin made Shu Boyang stammer, yes, how did he know that Feng Peiming was not feeling well?

Seeing Li Ximin's embarrassed face, Shu Boyang didn't ask any more questions, but he couldn't stop thinking for a while. In the current complicated situation in Jiangbei, there is an instinctive vigilance between who and whom. After being silent for a while, Li Ximin finally couldn't help but say, "I came to Chairman Feng to talk about pottery. ”

"Pottery? What pottery? ”

"A piece of pottery." Li Ximin's voice was a little dim, just like his mood, these days, that pottery is like a spell, jumping out from time to time to toss him.

Shu Boyang sighed, and from this "oh", Li Ximin heard that Shu Boyang knew about this pottery.

"Secretary-General Sheng has talked to me and asked me to make it clear to the organization." At this time, Li Ximin really had a desire to talk, maybe he had been trapped for too long and urgently needed the help of others.

"Then let's be clear, don't hesitate any longer." Shu Boyang said sincerely.

"There are some things that are hard to explain." Li Ximin's voice became more and more gray, and in the afternoon light, his face was much darker than usual, and the whole person looked like a sense of vicissitudes.

Shu Boyang's heart moved, knowing how Li Ximin could be with Feng Peiming, he thought seriously for a while, and said: "Ximin, don't hesitate again, we should believe in the organization." ”

"Bo Yang, it's not that I don't believe in the organization, this pottery has a complicated background."

"Are you worried...... Chairman Peiming? ”

Li Ximin nodded heavily, Shu Boyang could think like this, which made him feel relaxed for a while, but soon, his heart darkened again: "I wanted to ask for his opinion, who knew that he was sick again." ”

"You are confused, how can he make a statement about this?"

"Boyang, you don't know ......" Li Ximin stopped when he wanted to speak.

"Why don't I know, don't I worry about his son? But Ximin have you thought about it, if you don't take the initiative to explain this matter to the organization, the responsibility will all lie with you. Also, how can you guarantee that this pottery is related to his son? ”

Li Ximin was silent, he had thought about similar problems more than once, but if he really wanted him to expose his old superiors to the organization, he couldn't do it.

Li Ximin waited for another two days, and two days later, he finally heard the news that the surname Ge and the surname Tao had been "shuanggui".

What to do? Just when he was undecided and fighting fiercely in his heart, the phone rang, it was Shu Boyang.

"Ximin, come quickly, Chairman Feng is going to be discharged from the hospital, I can't persuade you."

Li Ximin hurried to the hospital, and saw that Feng Peiming had already gone downstairs and was angry with Shu Boyang: "I want to live with you, I'm lying there, not steady!" ”

Li Ximin hurriedly persuaded: "Chairman, your health is important, let's go back to the ward." ”

"Body? My innocence is gone, what else do I need to do with my body? Go back, go back immediately! ”

It seems that Feng Peiming already knows the news that Ge and Tao were "shuanggui".

Back at Feng Peiming's house, Shu Boyang also wanted to fulfill his duties as the secretary general, and told the nanny what to pay attention to in daily life and diet these days, but Feng Peiming said impatiently: "You are not finished, the unit is not working, or have you been sent to supervise me?" In a word, Shu Boyang didn't leave, and neither did he stay. Li Ximin seemed to have insight into Feng Peiming's meaning, and said to Shu Boyang: "You go back first, I'll stay and take care of it." ”

After Shu Boyang left, Feng Peiming sent the nanny to buy vegetables, but in fact, he deliberately broke away from the nanny, and then said to Li Ximin: "It's time to tell me now, what's going on with that pottery?" ”

As soon as Li Ximin stammered, Feng Peiming became angry: "How long do you have to cover up, do you have to wait for them to arrest me?" ”

Li Ximin knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he told the antique dealer Azhu about giving him pottery.

After listening to this, Feng Peiming pondered for a moment, but still didn't believe Li Ximin's words, and asked: "It's really sent by Azhu, and it has nothing to do with Xiao San?" ”

The junior is his son.

Li Ximin hurriedly said: "It's Ah Zhu, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao San." ”

"I want you to tell me the truth!"

"It's really the truth, Xiao San doesn't know about this."

"Okay, let me ask you, how did you and Azhu meet, he gave you pottery for no reason, how to explain?"

"Yes...... Pan Jinju. ”

"Pan Jinju?" Feng Peiming became more and more stunned.

"Pan Jinju and Azhu have known each other for a long time, and Azhu is interceding for Pan Jinju. In the first phase of the Jiangda project, Pan Jinju did not get the project and wanted to prepare for the second phase of the project in advance. ”

", didn't he get less projects from Chunjiang City, he didn't get Jiang University, what about the rest, didn't he build City College? Didn't he do the engineering in the business school in the past few years? He had to take as much as he could! ”

After scolding Pan Jinju, Feng Peiming gradually calmed down, but after being quiet for less than 5 minutes, he became angry again: "You call and ask Xiao San to come back immediately!" ”

"This ......" Li Ximin didn't understand his purpose of letting Xiao San come back, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Hit, aren't you very close to him, call him and ask him to come back, just say that he is going to die, lung cancer!"

"Chairman......

Li Ximin didn't know that Feng Peiming had long wanted his son to come back, and the Chunjiang pottery case had been resting on his heart, making him restless, and he wanted to ask his son in person, whether he did it, and whether he killed the two migrant workers? But this evil obstacle was still stubborn at first, saying that he would come back in a few days, and then he talked to him on the phone, he was impatient, and recently he simply disappeared, Feng Peiming couldn't get through to him, and he couldn't find his person!

Li Ximin pondered for a long time before he said: "He hasn't contacted me for a long time, I heard that ......"

"What did you hear?"

"There is a problem with his company, and it seems that he has a conflict with Azhu."

"Bastards, they're all bastards!"
