The symposium was held for two more days, and instead of getting better, the situation did not improve, on the contrary, because Zhou Cang continued to ask the research team problems at the meeting, the research team was very passive. Zhou Zhou caught on to the matter of Lao Kui and Xiao Kui, and constantly put pressure on the research team, she said: "Since we are doing research on the law enforcement environment, we can't avoid talking about these two typical cases that happened in Heyang." As representatives, we have the right to know how the public prosecutors, procuratorates, and courts handled these two cases. The case of Xiaokui's death has dragged on until now and has not yet been resolved, is the case itself too difficult or the law enforcers too soft? Should the people's congress concentrate on supervising these cases with great repercussions, many suspicions, and high voices from the masses? Zhou Zhou Cang said several things in a row, and then said to Qin Xiyue: "Team leader Qin, you have repeatedly emphasized that the deputies should first change their thinking and improve their understanding, may I ask, is it that the deputies ignore the case and only talk about some things that have nothing to do with the case, which can be regarded as ideological progress?" ”

"Representative Monday, I didn't say that!" When Zhou Cang was in trouble a few times before, Qin Xiyue had endured it, but this time, he couldn't help it.

"But I think that's what you think, and that's what you ask of us!" Zhou Zhou's performance in the past two days has been very abnormal, since she had an argument with Cheng Gong at the meeting over the water seepage project, she suddenly lost her modest and friendly attitude, and every time she said a word, she was aiming at Qiang Wei and Qin Xiyue. She even said in private that the research team was invited by Qiangwei, and the purpose was to suppress Qiangwei. Deceived by her, some representatives have doubts about the purpose of the research team's trip, and they also have complaints about Qin Xiyue.

"Representative Zhou Cang, you can have an opinion on me, but you can't put pressure on the research team because of this, the research team can't meet your requirements."

"Are you scared? Since you are afraid, why do you still want to be this deputy team leader? Zhou Cang's tone is no longer just a challenge, she is even openly provocative.

"I'm scared? What am I Qin Xiyue afraid of? Qin Xiyue stood up and looked directly at Zhou Cang, who did not show weakness and got up from his chair. The atmosphere in the venue became tense, and the delegates all breathed tightly.

If Professor Wu Hai hadn't come out to play the round, I'm afraid that on this day, the two of them would have to do it at the meeting.

The symposium was resolutely not opened, and if it was held again, not only would Qin Xiyue not be able to control the venue, but even if Zhang Xiangsheng went, it would be difficult to control the situation. Qin Xiyue told Zhang Xiangsheng about his worries, but unexpectedly, Zhang Xiangsheng resolutely disagreed with his opinion: "Don't open it? Just because we raised different opinions on Monday, we didn't even dare to hold a symposium? Lao Qin, this is not your style, right? ”

"It has nothing to do with me, I suspect now that Zhou Cang has ulterior motives."

"Old Qin!" Zhang Xiangsheng interrupted him harshly, "You are the deputy team leader, how can you say such a thing?" Haven't we been talking about democracy all the time, aren't we advocating that all sides should have their voices heard, why do you say that when people speak, you say that they have ulterior motives? ”

"That's not how democracy is spoken, and that's not how voices are spoken." Qin Xiyue was still very excited.

"Well, you give me a standard, how should democracy be spoken, and how should the voice be spoken? Is there a standard? ”

Qin Xiyue finally stopped talking, yes, can he come up with a standard? If you can't get it, why don't you allow others to put forward opinions and demands?

But he just can't resist this bend in his heart!

Seeing that he was silent, Zhang Xiangsheng said: "Lao Qin, I know that you have ideas in your heart, and you have a different understanding of the word 'representative' from others, but when we do everything, we must first proceed from reality, and only by respecting reality can we change reality." Otherwise, you will make the mistake of subjectively preemptively. The reason why I insisted on holding the forum was that I wanted every delegate to feel first-hand whether we still have defects, whether we can truly shoulder the high expectations of the people, and whether we can have a clear conscience about those who cast a sacred vote for us! ”

Zhang Xiangsheng's words can be regarded as turning Qin Xiyue's heart, and it makes sense, he said with a little guilt: "Blame me for being too anxious, I can't get rid of this problem." ”

"I don't blame you, how can I blame you." Zhang Xiangsheng said with a smile.

Zhang Xiangsheng originally had something to say to Qin Xiyue, but Qin Xiyue couldn't sit still, and wanted to hurry back to his room, saying that tomorrow's symposium was very important and special, and he had to do his work carefully, and there could be no more chaotic scenes like today.

Watching him leave the room with confidence, Zhang Xiangsheng couldn't help but think: They all say that he is a nerd, why can't I see him stupid at all? This person is not only bloody, but also wise, and has patience that others do not have. In short, this man was so different from the other intellectuals he had seen.

He can make the officials respect him, let his peers support him, and let the people dig their hearts with him, how can such a person be ......

Thinking of this, he took out a letter, someone secretly stuffed it in through the crack in the door in the afternoon, just now he wanted Qin Xiyue to take a look at it, but now that he thinks about it, it's okay not to read it, if he reads it, maybe he has some ideas.

The letter was typed on a computer, unsigned, and reflected two things. One is the desert reservoir seepage project, which Zhang Xiangsheng knows very well, before coming down, he has thoroughly explored the causes and consequences of the seepage project, but pretended not to know. There are some things that need to be pretended, and "pretending" is good for solving problems. Another thing, Zhang Xiangsheng was shocked, the letter reflected that after the research team came to Heyang, Zhou Zhou Cang had frequent contact with Zhou Tieshan, and Zhou Zhou Cang also instructed Zhou Tieshan to use the identity of the national **** to spread rumors and create contradictions in the **** at the city and county levels, and deliberately turned the spearhead to Qiang Wei, the secretary of the municipal party committee. Just last night, Zhou Tieshan hosted a banquet for six delegates in his hotel, encouraging them to oppose Qin Xiyue at the meeting, and not let the research team cover up anything for Qiang Wei. Zhou Tieshan also said that Qin Xiyue let Qiang Wei buy him, and he was no longer the Qin representative who dared to speak and act before, he became Qiang Wei's puppet and a fire extinguisher that Qiang Wei bought with money......

Zhang Xiangsheng read the letter again, and his heart, which had been relaxed just now, sank again, and several times, he wanted to pick up the phone and call Qiang Wei, but he held back again and again. According to his judgment, the situation reflected in the letter will not be false, Zhou Tieshan has done these things, and what Zhou Tieshan has done these days is by no means just what is reflected in the letter, in addition to winning over and provoking representatives, Zhou Tieshan is also secretly inciting the laid-off workers of the Hehua Group, asking them to petition the research team. Not only that, but he also sent people to Wufoshan District to find the petitioner named Wang Ershui, wanting to turn over the old accounts in the past.

All of this is telling Zhang Xiangsheng that some people are afraid of the research team, and although the research team has not yet carried out substantive work, the other party has been in a mess.

That's what Zhang Xiangsheng wants!

Zhang Xiangsheng still did not attend the symposium the next day, and continued to push Qin Xiyue in front, and he quietly went to the old workers of Hehua Group to understand the situation.

Today's invitation is a representative of the judicial circles, as well as some judicial workers, and the venue for the discussion is set in the conference hall of the Dongcheng District Court, that is, the place where Lao Kui caused the bombing. Chen Muchuan was originally scheduled to attend the meeting, but when he heard that Qin Xiyue had chosen the meeting place in that terrible place, he didn't come because of something. Qin Xiyue ignored it, came to the court early, and set up the venue with several young people from the Dongcheng District Court.

Standing in the empty conference hall, Qin Xiyue's heart suddenly surged with a layer of very complicated things. He thought of Lao Kui, thought of Xu Yanrong, and later, his mind was fixed on Zhou Zhoucan, who bravely pounced on Lao Kui that day.

After the delegates arrived, Qin Xiyue waited for a while, convinced that Zhou Cang would not come, before announcing the meeting.

The meeting was very lively and the speeches were even more active, with the delegates first sharing their feelings about the bombing that happened here a few months ago, and then speaking freely about the problems existing in law enforcement. The meeting was in full swing when the door was suddenly pushed open.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the door, and the person standing at the door surprised everyone!

Qiao Guodong finally came.

From the moment he heard that the research team was coming to Heyang, Qiao Guodong began to wait, he believed that Qin Xiyue would go to see him, and would come to his house with concern and sympathy or even grievances. After waiting for a few days and no movement, Qiao Guodong asked his son to inquire, and when Qiao Xiaochuan heard that he pinned his hopes on Qin Xiyue, he said angrily: "You still expect him to save you, he can't wait to help Qiang Wei trample you to death." Qiao Guodong didn't believe his son's words, how could it be, Lao Qin's relationship with him was not ordinary. Even if everyone else spits on him, Lao Qin won't. Qiao Guodong waited again.

In the middle of this, there were all kinds of news in his ears, some said that the research team came to him, some said that the research team came to Chong Qiangwei and Zhou Cang, and some even said that the research team wanted to dig the old roots of Heyang, and all the fish that swam in this river may be caught in the net. Qiao Guodong wondered, a research team has so much ability and so much power? He is the director of the National People's Congress, so he naturally knows the weight of the National People's Congress, and he does not dare if others dare to have illusions about the National People's Congress. At best, it's a show, he thought. Perhaps, the relationship between Zhang Xiangsheng and Gao Bo is not ordinary, just like the relationship between Qi Moran and Deputy Director Li, which is profound. Maybe sending a research team is the opinion of Secretary Gao Bo. He thought again.

No matter what happens, he still has hope for Qin Xiyue, even if he doesn't speak for him, doesn't redress his grievances for him, come to accompany him, and say a few words to him, okay? Not really!

Qiao Guodong couldn't stand it, how could people be like this, whether it was falling into the well, whether it was going to tea or cooling, it was good if someone else was changed, Qiao Guodong didn't think it was strange, Qin Xiyue did this, he couldn't stand it. Could it be that as people say, he let Qiangwei buy it, or bow to Qiangwei?

Just when Qiao Guodong sighed and couldn't think of a good way, Zhou Zhou Cang suddenly called and said, "Can you still bear it, it's all shouting outside, can you still stay at home and not go out?" ”

"Can I get out? My legs are tied! Qiao Guodong said angrily.

"Director Qiao, no one can tie your legs, unless you don't want to move." Monday Zong Road.

"It's useless to say this, I'm a sinner now, a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and you're afraid that I will be unlucky." Qiao Guodong was telling the truth, and he didn't dare to hold out hope for Zhou Cang.

"Director Qiao, it's not friendly to say this, what I should say for you, I said it all at the meeting, you still have to think like this, what can I do." But I still hope you can stand up, you are ****, the research team is here, and you have the right to speak. ”

After answering the phone, Qiao Guodong couldn't hold back, although Zhou Zhou Cang was hateful, but being able to think of him at this time made him unmoved. After thinking about it all night, he decided to come to the venue today, and he wanted to ask Qin Xiyue in person, what did he want to do in Heyang with this research team?

Qiao Guodong's gaze slowly swept across the venue, and finally stopped at Qin Xiyue's face. Qin Xiyue was talking to Professor Wu Hai, who was sitting next to him, and when he saw Qiao Guodong, he knew that he would not be able to open again today.

He slowly got up and met Qiao Guodong's hot gaze.

"Who's going to be hosting today?" Qiao Guodong asked.

"Me." Qin Xiyue Road.

"You?" Qiao Guodong asked suspiciously, and said in an extremely sarcastic tone, "I didn't expect that the expert of Qin University was also promoted, congratulations, congratulations." ”

Qin Xiyue endured, he knew that Qiao Guodong was coming, and he seemed to have been prepared in his heart.

"Director Qiao, please take a seat."

"I'm not the director, don't bury me!" Qiao Guodong was furious, but people still walked into the venue, and someone stood up and gave up their seats for him. Qiao Guodong ignored it, walked straight to the rostrum, and stood in the place where Lao Kui once stood.

"Come and sit down, old Joe, why do you look at me like that?" Qin Xiyue said with a smile.

"Qin Xiyue, let me ask you, am I a ****?"

"yes, who's to say you're not?"

"Okay, let me ask you again, am I qualified to attend such a meeting?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you inform me?"

"Didn't notify you? I'm sorry, Old Joe, you misunderstood, we just invited some delegates to have a discussion. ”

"Discussion?" Qiao Guodong took a step forward, "I should participate in the discussion." ”

"Well, you're welcome." Qin Xiyue stood up again and invited Qiao Guodong to take a seat. But his face is not as good-looking as it was just now.

"Now you want to invite me to participate, it's late, Qin Xiyue, no, Team Leader Qin, blame me Qiao Guodong for seeing the wrong person, I can't imagine that Qin experts and Qin representatives, who are respected everywhere, ended up being someone else's cleaner."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean it very clearly, you should know it yourself!"

The voices of the two people were higher than the other, and the people at the venue had been used to it in the past two days, and the moment they saw Qiao Guodong, they knew that today's quarrel was indispensable. However, Qiao Guodong asked Qin Xiyue so unceremoniously, which still surprised the deputies.

Everyone turned their attention to Qin Xiyue's face.

Qin Xiyue secretly adjusted himself and said, "Old Qiao, if you want to have a meeting, then sit down and talk, you can talk about anything." If you're here to make trouble, you're welcome, please get out! ”

"Get out? You're letting me out? Qin Xiyue, you are really so angry that you can eat people now. ”

"Old Qiao, please pay attention to your speech, you are a cadre trained by the party for many years, and you are a ****, you don't even know the most basic common sense, right?"

"Common sense? What kind of common sense are you talking about? I Qiao Guodong don't understand, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get to today! You Qin Xiyue know a lot, no matter what time it is, you can be a guest of honor in a beautiful manner. ”

"Old Joe, you're too much!" Qin Xiyue finally couldn't control it, he thought that after so many things, Qiao Guodong would reflect and sober up, but he didn't think about it, he was still like this. He attributed all his failures to others, always thinking that others were plotting against him behind his back and excluding him, but he didn't know that he had been struggling in the whirlpool of calculations all his life.

"Old Joe, you really let me down. Well, if you have any complaints, even if you send them out, today in front of so many deputies, you can complain frankly and frankly, and tell everyone about the dissatisfaction and grievances in your heart. But before that, I would like to warn you that you do not look like a state cadre at all, let alone a representative of the people! ”

"You ——!"

Qiao Guodong didn't dare to complain in the end, he didn't expect that Qin Xiyue, who had always been elegant, suddenly became like an official, talking and doing things, and he was very kind of a big leader. While hesitating, Qiang Wei suddenly came in, Qiao Guodong was stunned for a few moments, and finally, he turned around hatefully and went back.

In the afternoon, Qiang Wei did not let Qin Xiyue attend the meeting, deliberately left him behind, and invited him to another hotel with Zhang Xiangsheng.

Qiang Wei did this not because of the scene in the morning, fear or anxiety. He didn't have time to pay attention to those rumors and attacks, and he didn't want to pay attention to them. He still said the same thing, the symposium should be held as it should be, there is no need to worry about him, and there is no need to worry about him. He found two team leaders to discuss more important matters.

In the days when Qin Xiyue was discussing with the deputies, Qiang Wei's investigation was also in full swing, and the situation reported on several lines was more serious than he imagined, and he couldn't eat it himself, so he was in a hurry to find Zhang Xiangsheng to discuss with Qin Xiyue.

"Judging from the current investigation, there are not one or two people involved in the Hehua merger case, and in addition to the cadres of Heyang City, there are also many comrades from several departments in the province who want to be involved." He said.

"Is it really that serious?" Zhang Xiangsheng's brows furrowed.

"I'm afraid it's not just like that, I'm worried about ......"

"Worried about what?" Zhang Xiangsheng asked tightly.

"I'm afraid that it has become a nest case again, it doesn't matter if something happens to a few people, if a group of cadres have an accident, will it be ......?"

"This worry is superfluous, the nature of an accident of a few people is not the same as that of a group of people?" Qin Xiyue, who had been sitting silently, suddenly said. Regarding the two major cases exposed by Hehua Group, Qin Xiyue heard Qiang Wei briefly mention it on the phone, it was the night before the research team came down, he originally wanted to ask Qiang Wei's opinion, and when the research team went to Heyang, what aspects should they start from in order to do a solid job. didn't think that Qiang Wei revealed this matter to him, and his reaction at that time was that Heyang might become the focus of the province's attention again, and Qiang Wei would be on the cusp again. But with the discussion these days, Qin Xiyue changed his original mind, what are he afraid of on the cusp? What are you afraid of being in the spotlight? You can't even dare to touch the surface of the water because you're afraid of whirlpools, and you can't cover it for fear of exposing it and revealing your ugliness. There are some things that we have covered for many years, but we never dare to touch them, but as a result, we have not covered them well. It is better to restore the facts and let people receive the lesson of blood from the facts than to preach dryly!

"It can't be said that it's exactly the same, but since it's involved, you can't help but check it. The province has not been without a nest case, the year before last in the steel mill corruption case, there are a lot of people involved, although the impact is a little bigger, but the significance of the warning is also great. I think it's better to follow the original line of thought, continue to investigate, and if there are any difficulties, raise them at any time, and we will solve them together. Zhang Xiangsheng said.

"I want to go to Beijing and meet Secretary Gao Bo." Qiang Wei said suddenly.

Zhang Xiangsheng was stunned, Qin Xiyue also showed uneasiness, and he felt the severity of the situation from Qiang Wei's face. I'm afraid that with his imagination, he can't imagine the complexity of such a big and important case and the difficulty of investigating and dealing with it. But he believes that no matter how tricky things are, there is still a way to solve them in the end, and the two big cases of Hehua will not intimidate Qiang Wei.

After some summing, the three of them finally agreed with Qiang Wei's opinion and went to Beijing to report to Secretary Gao Bo.

That night, Qiang Wei left Ha Yang and rushed to the provincial capital.

Within half an hour of Qiang Wei's departure, Zhang Xiangsheng received a call from the Provincial Party Committee Secretariat, asking the research team to leave Heyang. The specific reason was not said by the secretariat, and Zhang Xiangsheng did not ask.

At this time, do you still need to ask why?
