The day after the bombing, Qiang Wei presided over a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. The theme of this meeting is very clear: first, to quell the storm of the explosion as soon as possible, control the situation within the scope that should be controlled, and avoid the spread and spread of malignant malignant things, so as to ensure the stability and unity of Ha Duong; Second, find out the real motivation of Lao Kui, especially whether there is an instigator behind the scenes, and if so, who is the instigator? What is the motivation?

As soon as he received the call, Qiao Guodong, director of the ***** of Heyang City, said in his heart, this meeting was probably aimed at him, he had already heard that Qiang Wei had asked Qin Xiyue Xingshi about the crime, did Qiang Wei really want to attack him? Do you really want to convict him of being a "behind-the-scenes mastermind"?

The mastermind behind the scenes? Qiao Guodong was confused, from yesterday to now, about his contact with Lao Kui in the past two years, repeatedly flashed in front of his eyes, making him restless. He carefully smacked every word he had said to Lao Kui, including every look he had handed over, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy and fearful he became. Qiang Wei dared to say such tough words in front of Qin Xiyue, and he was afraid that he would not be polite.

Lao Kui, you are nonsense, I can't tell you clearly.

In all fairness, Lao Kui made such a big move, and Qiao Guodong was also shocked in his heart.

Lao Kui is Qiao Guodong's contact object, and for petitioners, the people's congress has a large system. For general petitioners, the Letters and Visits Office or the corresponding committee is responsible for receiving them; The key targets will be received by several leaders of the National People's Congress. Whoever receives, who is responsible, and is responsible to the end. Lao Kui has been petitioning diligently in the past two years, and his problems are more thorny, not only involving law enforcement issues in Heyang, but also killing people. How dare Qiao Guodong despise it, and take the initiative to set Lao Kui as his reception object. Originally, he communicated well with Lao Kui, and he could also grasp Lao Kui's whereabouts, who knows......

Two months ago, Lao Kui came to him again. He was very busy that day, and he really couldn't spare time, so he said to Xiao Wang in the office: "You take Lao Kui to the Rule of Law Commission, let Lao Jiang do his work well, and by the way, tell Lao Kui that I have reported his affairs to the Provincial People's Congress, and tell him to stop petitioning and wait at home with peace of mind." After speaking, he accompanied the leaders from the province to inspect the work in the countryside. As a result, after a trip to the township and when he returned to Heyang, he heard that Lao Kui had let Chen Muchuan educate him fiercely.

According to the division of labor, on the side of the National People's Congress, Chen Muchuan is in charge of politics and law, finance and economics, and is also in charge of the city's political and legal system. Xiao Wang took Lao Kui to find Commissioner Jiang and happened to meet Chen Muchuan. According to the regulations, Chen Muchuan should not have inserted this pole, who knew that Chen Muchuan was stunned that day. He called Lao Kui to his office, even criticized and scared, and trained for nearly an hour, so that Xiao Wang couldn't sit still and wanted to sneak out to call Qiao Guodong. Lao Kui finished the training, and after he went back, he never contacted Qiao Guodong again.

Afterwards, Qiao Guodong learned that before Lao Kui came that day, Zuo Yiwei of the Dongcheng District Court and Director Huang of the District People's Congress came to Chen Muchuan to report to his work, and mentioned Lao Kui in the conversation, saying that the reason why Lao Kui grabbed his son's matter and forced the court to frame him was that someone supported Lao Kui and wanted to take the opportunity to mess up the court. The court worked hard and did a lot of work, but Lao Kui just couldn't listen to it, so he had to ask the two bailiffs who brought back Xiao Kui to his life.

"You can't do this job anymore, you are working desperately in front, and if something happens by chance, someone will make a fuss for you behind your back. A small thing, as soon as it is stirred, becomes big news. These are Zuo Yiwei's exact words.

Director Huang also took advantage of the situation and said: "Dean Zuo is right, Director Chen, you can't sit idly by and ignore Lao Kui's matter. The district court has already hung up a yellow card, and if the yellow card cannot be removed this year, the entire political and legal department will be affected. We suspect ......" Director Huang pondered for a long time, and finally stared at Chen Muchuan and said in a slightly aggressive tone: "Director Chen, some people have impure motives, is this unclear to make trouble for you?" ”

In one sentence, he knocked over the five-flavor bottle in Chen Muchuan's heart, and when he saw Lao Kui, it was strange not to get angry.

Chen Muchuan's fire was tantamount to completely extinguishing Lao Kui's hope. Qiao Guodong was worried that something would happen to Lao Kui, so he sent someone to look for him a few times, wanting to talk to Lao Kui and dredge his thoughts, but Lao Kui avoided it. He personally went to the door, three dilapidated houses, two of which were wide open, and the inside was empty, and the middle was guarded by an iron general. When I asked the villagers, I said that Lao Kui went to the small coal kiln to carry coal.

Qiao Guodong believed it at first, thinking that Lao Kui was discouraged and didn't plan to petition anymore, and wanted to live in peace. As soon as the explosion sounded yesterday, he suddenly understood that Lao Kui's back coal was fake, and it was true to go to the small coal kiln to get **!

"Confused, how can he take this step?" Qiao Guodong sighed in his heart. After sighing, he became worried about his situation. The city has long made it clear that it is not only necessary to patiently and meticulously do their work well, but more importantly, not to have problems. Over the years, there have been more and more petitioners in Heyang, and there have been more and more incidents every year. Some things, once they come out, they can't be reversed, and they can only be traced one level at a time. He also checked a lot of people because of this. This time, can Qiangwei let him go?

Qiao Guodong couldn't think about it anymore, and he couldn't think about it anymore. Lao Kui's ** bag, although it did not cause a tragedy, was fatal to him. Last night, he had heard that Chen Muchuan was hospitalized, saying that he was highly frightened and had mental problems.

It was a mental problem, but it wasn't Lao Kui who was scared out, it was that he was too eager to straighten things out, too eager to get him Qiao Guodong away, and he was in a hurry to come out! Thinking of Chen Muchuan, Qiao Guodong became more and more uneasy, this time, he was afraid that it would be......

The world is complicated! Qiao Guodong sighed, took the materials, and hurriedly walked towards the Heyang Hotel.

In the conference hall of the hotel, the atmosphere is ** and dignified, and the air is a little tight. At the door of the conference hall, two security guards stood very majestically, standing with an imposing attitude. When he entered the door, Qiao Guodong suddenly thought, is there still an old Kui who wants to touch here? However, this thought was only a fleeting thought, and it quickly drove away the heaviness and solemnity in the conference room. The moment he sat down, Qiao Guodong found that Qiang Wei's gaze shot coldly on him.

Qiang Wei is full of strength today, which can be seen from that angry face. Last night, he called Zuo Yiwei overnight, and after training for half the night, Zuo Yiwei almost cried. "What time is it, huh? Build a harmonious society! You're good, let people carry the **bag to blow up the venue! I think you, the dean, are at a good level and can be on "Focus Interview"! ”

Zuo Yiwei whimpered, wanting to explain something, Qiang Wei scolded: "You don't explain to me, I told you a long time ago, Lao Kui's matter is not a trivial matter, you have to take it seriously." How do you treat it? And how to solve it? Causing such a big mess, I see how you clean it up this time! After Zuo Yiwei left with red and swollen eyes, Qiang Wei called the province again. He didn't want to make this call at first, but after thinking about it, if he didn't make a call at this time, if something happened in the future, he was afraid that it would be even more difficult to clean up. So, with an indescribable feeling, he reluctantly dialed the mobile phone. On the phone, he first made a review with Yu Shuhong, deputy secretary general of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, and then his voice was hoarse, and he said very sadly: "Sister Hong, this time I made a big disaster, you don't know, how sad I am in my heart, an old Kui, who blew up a city, and I don't know where the shock wave will go." Sister Hong, my career has come to an end, I don't covet this position much, but I am not willing to end it this way! Yu Shuhong on the other end of the phone listened to it for a long time, didn't say a word, and finally pressed the phone wordlessly.

Under this pressure, Qiang Wei knew that the provincial party committee had already reacted.

He didn't close his eyes all night.

In the morning, he was still hesitant to hold this meeting. was worried, a text message came from the mobile phone, opened it and saw that it was sent by Yu Shuhong, only four short words: Immediate aftermath! Qiang Wei's heart lit up, Sister Hong is Sister Hong after all, and at a critical time, he is still worried about him. Qiang Wei was moved, struggling, and sent a text message back to Sister Hong: Don't worry, I will take decisive measures! Then, he called the Secretariat to urgently convene the Standing Committee.

Qiang Wei knows that the time has come to test himself, and if he can't come up with special means at this time, if he doesn't come up with some strange tricks, he is afraid that he will never have a chance again in this life. And he really doesn't want to fight in this matter, if he fights in this matter, he will be strong all these years, which is equivalent to working hard in the officialdom in vain. Besides, he shouldn't be fighting!

Xiao Kui's case is really something else!

In the past two years, as soon as he mentioned this case, there would be a phone call immediately, how could the pressure and resistance from all sides be explained in one or two sentences? How can a nerd like Qin Xiyue figure it out? Doesn't he want to give Lao Kui an explanation? Is he strong enough to bear to let Lao Kui cry out again and again?

Besides, whether he is unjust or not, he can't let Lao Kui have the final say, there must be facts and evidence! For this evidence, he still has less powerful brains?

He glanced at the venue, except for Mayor Zhou Yi, the faces of the others were so pale and gray, including Qiao Guodong, whose faces were also more ugly than him, and even more unbearable than him. If you can't hold it, if you can't hold it, it proves that Qiao Guodong has a ghost in his heart!

As soon as the word "there are ghosts" is mentioned, Qiangwei's hatred comes. On the surface, Ha Duong seems to be calm, and the four major teams are closely united, all of which have a central goal, that is, to build an economy and society. But secretly, I don't know how many people are competing, especially Qiao Guodong, who is simply a thorn in his eyes.

Today, Qiang Wei is going to be bold and pull out the thorns!

Qiang Wei cleared his throat and solemnly announced: Now the meeting is open!

Regarding the first topic, Qiang Wei almost did not allow other members of the Standing Committee to interject, and followed the train of thought last night, and talked to the end in one breath. Qiang Wei's general meaning: I am very sad and shocked when something like this happens! When the people of the whole city were concentrating on fighting drought and supporting agriculture, such a shocking incident suddenly occurred in the Dongcheng District Court, which is painful! Now that something has happened, we don't need to be afraid, let alone depressed. We should think deeply about this incident, seriously reflect on ourselves, and examine ourselves. Look at what problems still exist in our work, what are the places, and there is still a distance from the requirements of the people. Lao Kui's matter has dragged on for two years, and it has not been reasonably resolved, why is it delayed? Who dragged it? As early as March last year, I gave instructions on Lao Kui's petition letter, asking the political and legal system to carry out self-examination, conscientiously examine itself, find out the deficiencies in law enforcement, and give Lao Kui an explanation. Why can't Lao Kui get an explanation to this day? Why haven't the parties involved been dealt with so far? Is there really no problem, or is there a problem that we hide and hide, and we dare not expose it?

Speaking of this, Qiao Guodong, who has been figuring out Qiang Wei's thoughts, suddenly understood: Qiang Wei is going to be ruthless! His speech today is a signal, maybe he also realizes that if he is not ruthless, he will have no chance! Sure enough, Qiang Wei paused and said: "This matter must be investigated to the end, and no one involved can be let go." After going down, the Political and Legal Committee took the lead and set up a special working group to investigate the case of Xiaokui's accidental death from scratch. I don't believe that if a person dies inexplicably, he won't be able to find out the reason! When Qiang Wei said this, his eyes swept towards Qiao Guodong's face, which made Qiao Guodong feel the strength of the other party and feel his own discomfort. Strange, how could he not feel comfortable?

Qiang Wei then said: "No matter what, this matter should arouse our great attention, and the first task at present is to deal with the aftermath!" First, it is necessary to strictly control the spread of incidents, and the news media at all levels are not allowed to report on them without permission, and the Propaganda Department must do a good job of this. At present, we are making every effort to build a harmonious society, and we must stop all voices that do not coincide with a harmonious society. We are not afraid of supervision or exposure, but we must treat this matter from the high plane of stressing politics. Second ......"

Qiang Wei said five points in one go, which is equivalent to setting the tone for the first topic. It is estimated that he was almost done, and then he turned to the head of the propaganda department beside him: "Is there anything else to add?" The head of the propaganda department hurriedly shook his head:

"No, no, you're very comprehensive."

"Let's move on to the second topic." With that, he picked up his cup and began to drink water. After talking so much, his mouth is really a bit dry, but fortunately, after saying a few words, the fire in his heart is not so big, and his mentality is slowly calming. He thought that the meaning he wanted to express had been fully expressed to the Standing Committee members, and the next step was to see how they responded.

Qiang Wei swept his gaze over the faces of the Standing Committee members in turn, and wherever his eyes went, the Standing Committee members lowered their heads one by one. It can be seen that no one of today's Standing Committee members is afraid to speak, and no one wants to be the first to stand up and speak--it's hard to talk about this today!

The scene made him a little frustrated, but at the same time, it also gave him a kind of confidence that he had never felt before. I am afraid that it means that his strong authority is still there, and I am afraid that it means that so far, no one has dared to stand up publicly and sing against him. That's good, that's what he wants. To put it bluntly, politics is not an active thing, and the essence of politics is actually in the word "obedience". However, at different times, the word "obedience" was expressed in different ways. The so-called "democracy", in his Qiangwei's view, means that the top leader openly shows his attitude, and the rest of the people can follow up synchronously, and can follow the direction given by the top leader, and draw their own strokes on the blueprint that is rolled out. Of course, this brush must be painted just right, and the painting should not be obvious, so that people can not see the flaws. In this way, a blueprint drawn by everyone, at a glance, looks like it was made by one person.

This is not to say how arbitrary he is Qiangwei, the problem is that if you are not arbitrary, you will not be able to control this game of chess, and you will not be able to control the carriage of Heyang. Throughout the ages, anyone who can do something, which one is not specialized? Which constantly? Qiang Wei also talked about democracy, especially in the first two years of coming to Heyang, he was almost too democratic, but what was the result? The more democratic it is, the more things happen, and the more democratic the pace, the more difficult it is to unify the pace. If he hadn't woken up early, I'm afraid that Heyang would have no part in his speech.

Let's just say that you have a blueprint in your hand and want everyone to work together to draw it well, if someone deliberately draws an incongruous stroke for you, then this map can still be called a blueprint?

It's not like this hasn't happened, think about the past few years, openly and secretly, how much has he let others calculate? How much did the great opportunity make others "democratic"? If he can really have one heart, can he be so passive? Can Heyang get to such a predicament?

But today, Qiang Wei still wants to spread out a picture, he wants to see how the six Standing Committee members here will draw their own strokes?

Dull and depressing, no one wants to be the first to speak, and they don't even think about talking. As soon as Qiang Wei's gaze met, he immediately lowered his head and pretended to be suffering, for fear that Qiang Wei would take his name. Qiang Wei was a little annoyed: When it was your turn to speak, they were all dumb, and when they got to the bottom, they spoke more than one another, and each one was more ugly! Don't say yes, no? If you don't say it, I'll take the roll call and talk about it one by one!

Qiang Wei glanced at the venue again, this time he swept more sharply, and that gaze, as if with a blade, wanted to cut through the silent faces and see what they were thinking in their hearts. Qiang Wei was about to say Qiao Guodong's name, but the mayor suddenly spoke.

Zhou Cang was not going to speak, and her sanity did not seem to have fully recovered from yesterday's thrill. It was a terrible scene yesterday, and she thought again and again, how could she have done such an amazing move? In normal times, I'm afraid I don't even have half the courage. But yesterday, she actually did. But yesterday's scene also brought her too much chaos, and now, her brain is groggy and can't wake up. Besides, what do you say when something so big happens? Last night, she wondered, what should she be about this matter? Do you stay calm and let it go, or do you step up and do your duty as a mayor? It's a hard choice. Keep calm, she can't do it, how can she be calm? If you want to do your duty, how to do it? What is the right level? That's a problem!

The word "suitable" is crucial and difficult to grasp. If it is deep, it will make Qiangwei unhappy, it will make many people uncomfortable, and it will destroy the existing delicate relationship; It's shallow, isn't that coping again? Coping with it is even harder for her! Later, I simply thought that I would not take the initiative first, wait and see what measures Qiang Wei and Qiao Guodong would take. However, Qiang Wei's words just now overturned her thoughts at once. At this time, Qiang Wei was still making a final decision, and he was still smashing others with an iron hammer. She can't stand this kind of practice, she really can't stand it!

"I'll make a few points." She took the microphone, calmed down her emotions a little, and said in a gentle voice as much as possible, "What is the purpose of our meeting today?" I have no objection to dealing with the aftermath, and if anything happens, it must be dealt with, and the impact cannot be expanded indefinitely. But how good is this 'after'? Is it appropriate to simply talk about calming down and stopping? Xiao Kui's case dragged on for two years, who dragged it? Everyone says they are not responsible, so who is responsible? Why is it that a simple case cannot be verified in more than a year? I think it is necessary to invite the comrades in charge of the case to give a report to everyone in person, so that everyone can have a consultation. Second, is it too hasty to determine so quickly that there is a mastermind behind the Lao Kui bombing case? Will there be a suspicion of diverting direction? Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped, pushed away the microphone, and calmly, and slightly sadly, set her eyes on Qiang Wei.

Qiang Wei did not evade, he knew that Zhou Zhou would definitely speak. Yesterday's incident, she has the most credit and the most outstanding performance. Coupled with Xiao Kui's matter, Zhou Zhou Cang has always had opinions, and now it's her turn to refute. But I didn't expect the rebuttal to come so quickly and so targeted. "Anything else?" He stared at Zhou Cang and asked.

Zhou Zhou wanted to continue, but when Qiang Wei asked, she didn't know whether to continue talking. After talking for a while, he said, "It's gone!" ”

This answer disappointed her, and she realized that she had an unbreakable fear of Qiangwei, or "habitual submission", how could this be?

Qiang Wei smiled - he actually laughed! He withdrew his gaze from Zhou Zhou Cang and looked at everyone again: "Okay, finally someone has raised a different opinion, everyone is enthusiastic, if there is a different opinion, just put it forward." ”

The atmosphere in the venue became tense again, and even more flavorful than at the beginning. Zhou Cang's brief words, seeing that the meeting was about to be led in another direction, Qiang Wei asked, and the slight wave calmed down again.

What kind of drama are these two people playing?

The eyes of the Standing Committee members were still focused on Zhou Zhoucan's face, and at this time, Zhou Zhou Cang was not as calm and as righteous as just now. A rare layer of redness appeared on her face—it was a facial reaction caused by a violent inner struggle, and she regretted it?

Qiang Wei was still waiting, he thought, someone would continue to follow Zhou Cang's words.

It's a pity that everyone is silent. Qiang Wei doesn't want today's meeting to be dull, he wants it to be lively, intense, and sometimes it's not a good thing to be too dull. Contradiction is a thing, rather than letting it hide in the shadows, it is better to let it explode completely. You can only find a solution if it erupts, and if it lurks underwater forever, you won't even be able to see what color it is!

"Old Joe, you talk." Qiang Wei finally handed the conversation to Qiao Guodong.

Qiao Guodong slowly raised his composed head, and when Zhou Zhou unexpectedly challenged Qiang Wei just now, he quickly adjusted his thinking and made a judgment on the situation at the venue. He firmly believes that Qiang Wei will not let him go today, just by virtue of his contact with Lao Kui, Qiang Wei can completely establish him on the opposite side, and from Qiang Wei's attitude, he is afraid that it is not only this. Maybe he found something last night. Qiao Guodong was still weak-hearted, at the beginning of Zhou Cang, he was immediately not vain, not afraid, in today's play, he decided to go out, and follow Zhou Cang's words, come to subvert it! Or, he's going to change from reactive to proactive today.

It's better to be active than to be passive!

People can't be passive all their lives, and at critical moments, they have to be proactive. This is the philosophy of officialdom that Qiao Guodong has only recently realized.

I don't believe it, I Qiao Guodong can't take the initiative once!

"My mood is the same as Secretary Qiang's, and I believe that everyone here feels the same way. Secretary Qiang is right, we want to conduct a thorough investigation, and we want to take advantage of this incident to clean up and rectify our team. But I don't agree with talking behind closed doors. Since we want to investigate, we should investigate it openly and honestly, and we should investigate it under the supervision of the masses, so why should we be afraid of reporting? Why not let the media get involved? I think we should hold a press conference to make this event public. Only when everything is placed under the noses of the common people and under the supervision of the broad masses can we avoid going out of shape and going through the motions, and can we seek truth from facts and find out the problems clearly. This is one of them. Second, can we change the tone of our meeting today, don't just talk about things, and don't just limit ourselves to Lao Kui and Xiao Kui. How many things have happened in Heyang over the years? How many cases have been found? Lao Kui alone is easy to do, send a working group down, and Lao Kui's problem can be solved in a few days. The problem is that there are too many 'Lao Kui' in Heyang, and at the same time of economic development in recent years, how much have we guaranteed for the interests of the people? Not to mention, there are a lot of problems left in the Shaxian Development Zone alone, and if they are not solved well, I think we will still ......" He said without saying the words "retaliation".

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the venue changed. The second-in-command and third-in-command attacked the first-in-command at the same time, and the Standing Committee members had never encountered such a scene. Moreover, as soon as Qiao Guodong mentioned the development zone, the Standing Committee members understood that he was revealing Qiangwei's scars.

Okay, today's scene is worth watching. Originally, the Standing Committee members were worried that the meeting would again be "one-sided," and in that case, not only would Lao Kui's problem not be solved, but Heyang's future political life would again go to the "Yiyan Hall." This is the ending that no one wants, but it is also the most helpless and realistic ending. In fact, among the Standing Committee members here, who is willing to let others have the final say? Everyone's heart is longing for the day when their voice can become the loudest and loudest voice, and it is also the voice that others must obey! Qiao Guodong's words immediately made the Standing Committee members come to the spirit, they want to see, how should Qiang Wei end up today?

"Old Joe!" Qiang Wei subconsciously screamed.

Qiao Guodong stopped talking, turned his gaze, and looked at Qiang Wei squarely.

He really faces Qiangwei!

The eyes of the two looked at each other for a full minute, and then Qiang Wei said: "Go on, Lao Qiao, you go on." ”

On this day, Qiang Wei almost messed up, and afterwards he also admitted that he made Qiao Guodong confused about the development zone, and the development zone was his weakness and could not be touched. He was afraid that Qiao Guodong would not finish speaking, and in that case, the meeting would really not end well. Fortunately, the Central Province called and asked him to rush to the provincial capital immediately and report the explosion to Deputy Secretary Qi, so the meeting stopped, otherwise, he might have been planted in Qiao Guodong's hands on the spot.

Qiao Guodong is not simple! Compared to Zhou Cang, he only knows which card to play.
