For several days, the city of Heyang was in the midst of an earthquake. First of all, the leadership team of the Dongcheng District Court was collectively removed, and the district party committee was responsible for investigating and dealing with the relevant responsibility issues. Zuo Yiwei cried and cried to find Qiang Wei many times, saying that he was really wronged, and Xiao Kui's problem was not that he didn't want to investigate, but that he ......

"And what?" Qiang Wei, who had been looking out the window, suddenly retracted his gaze and asked sternly. Zuo Yiwei was startled, his heart was in a hurry, and he almost leaked his words, thanks to his well-informed, seeing Qiang Wei glaring at him angrily, he changed his words along with the words: "Xiaokui really died of a sudden illness, Wang Jun and Ma Hu have repeatedly explained this matter, and we have also gone to the train to get a certificate, there will be no mistake." It is those people who take advantage of the topic to play and want to destroy the stability and unity of Dongcheng District. ”

"Okay, okay, you don't have to come to that set, how did you die, you don't need to explain to me, there will be a task force to investigate. What you have to do now is, stay home and write me a check. ”

"Check what I write, I must write, I check from the depths of my mind, make sure that I write deeply. Secretary Keqiang, is this dismissal too heavy? ”

"You mean I shouldn't have removed you?" Qiang Wei's face that had just warmed up became gloomy again, and he said in his heart that he hated this Zuo Yiwei and hated this kind of person. They dominate official positions, but they don't do official business, and they just use their brains to drill camps all day long. Or, use the power in your hands to reap the benefits everywhere. Most of the people's anger and grievances are caused by such people. However, it is difficult, very difficult for you to remove such people from official positions. Moreover, there are so many such people, can you catch them all? If you can really get rid of it, China's affairs, it will be much easier!

Qiang Wei smiled bitterly, laughing at his own absurdity, and the foolish dream.

"No, Secretary Qiang, I mean, can you give a punishment first, let me make meritorious service to atone for my sins......" Zuo Yiwei is really thick-faced, and it is a shame that he can say such things at such a time.

Qiang Wei was about to be angry with him, if it weren't for his father-in-law's share, he really wanted to kick him away. This kind of brazen guy, what's the use of keeping him? His face darkened and he said, "Then you will make a merit for me first!" ”

Only then did Zuo Yiwei know that Qiang Wei was out of action here, he cried with a sad face and slipped out.

scolded Zuo Yiwei, Qiang Wei grabbed the phone, and called the secretary of the Dongcheng District Party Committee: "What's the matter, I asked you to investigate and deal with it seriously, how did you send everyone to me?" When the secretary of the district party committee heard that Qiang Wei was angry, he hurriedly said: "We are studying the plan, and as soon as the plan comes out, we will report to you immediately." ”

Report the size! Qiang Wei scolded in his heart, but he hummed on his lips. At the moment, you can't push too the bottom, if you press it tightly, they will deal with it for you, and the sequelae left behind will have to be eliminated by yourself in the future. It's difficult, not only to rule the officials with an iron fist, but also to take care of the left and right. Who said that today's official is good, let him try it!

"Remember, we must not only adhere to the principles, but also master the scale, and we can't deny anyone's work because of an old Kui." That's all he can say.

"Yes, yes, Secretary Qiang, I know how to do it, please rest assured." On the other side of the phone, the voice of the district party secretary was submissive.

The reason is very simple, on the day he was urgently summoned by the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, the leaders of these two departments actually fanned the flames and talked about the next change in Heyang in the office. At night, he quietly slipped to Qiao Guodong, threw a flattering eye at Qiao Guodong, and heard that he also forced Qiao Guodong to take a sauna.

These are special times, and we must not allow people to be scattered. What is particularly intolerable is that Qiao Guodong and Zhou Zhou Cang took advantage of the situation to make small moves among the cadres. Even if you tie it with a rope, you have to tie the strength together.

Qiang Wei did not remove them from their posts, but notified the organization department and arranged for them to study. It just so happened that the party school of the provincial party committee had a study class for county and department-level cadres in building a new socialist countryside, so let them study for two months before they came back.

After doing these two things, Qiang Wei called Cheng Ming, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and asked him how to investigate Xiaokui's matter. Cheng Ming blushed and said: "The task force has just been established, and the specific work has not yet been carried out. ”

"What's going on, how many days have it been, the work hasn't started yet, do you still have a sense of urgency? No wonder the people want to scold their mothers, I think if they continue to do this, the people should turn the sky upside down! After teaching a lesson, Qiang Wei felt more comfortable, and said in a gentle tone: "Of course, it is beneficial to do the preliminary work carefully." Xiao Kui's case, to say that it is complicated, it is really complicated, but if it is simple, it is also simple. In any case, it is necessary to investigate realistically, fully respect the evidence, and never make preconceived mistakes. ”

"Yes, yes, that's how the basic tone of the task force was set."

"That's good."

These three things, Qiang Wei did really beautifully, and he was also very happy. After finishing it, he said hello to the office, took the secretary, and went to his own bag unit, Jiuduntan.

Qiang Wei's move made Qiao Guodong and Zhou Zhou stunned.

Qiao Guodong didn't expect that after a trip to the provincial capital, in just two days, Qiangwei's chess skills seemed to have increased a lot, and every move he made made him unable to fight back. And these three moves are equivalent to digging a hole for him, and he can't help it if he doesn't jump.

If it is said that in the first Standing Committee, he suddenly exerted his strength, caught Qiang Wei off guard, and then used the card of mass supervision to force Qiang Wei to disarm, and it had some effect, then a trip to the provincial capital, this effect will be blown by the wind. In the second Standing Committee, Qiang Wei used his own way to govern others, and unexpectedly threw the cases of Lao Kui and Xiao Kui to him, and made him fully responsible.

For several days in a row, Qiao Guodong made Lao Kui's case restless. Regardless of whether Lao Kui was wronged or not, and whether Xiao Kui was injured to death by the bailiff, but Lao Kui bombed the venue with a ** bag, this matter cannot be tolerated by law and reason. As a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, director of the Municipal People's Congress, and the No. 2 person in Heyang City, Qiao Guodong is not confused in this matter, and he must not make a mistake of principle. He must find out what happened to Lao Kui within the time limit set by the Standing Committee.

Qiao Guodong is in a hurry, but others are not in a hurry. Qiao Guodong urged the Public Security Bureau for several days in succession, asking them to report the list of the task force as soon as possible. In desperation, he called Xu Shouren, director of the Public Security Bureau, directly, Xu Shouren's tone was very kind, and he said a bunch of sorry in a row, and then said: "Director Qiao, I'm really sorry, I'm outside now, there is an important meeting in the provincial department, let me attend by name, I can't help but come." Well, I'll tell the bureau and they'll report back to you right away. Qiao Guodong was hmming, but he was so angry in his heart that he scolded his mother, what an important meeting, it was clearly a slippery head, slippery! Scolding and scolding, he still has to be patient. Another half a day has passed, and Xu Shouren's "immediately" has not been implemented. Qiao Guodong couldn't hold it back, and called the political commissar again, the political commissar was not on a business trip, but he was sick and was receiving an infusion in the hospital, saying that they had discussed this matter, and for a while, there was really no suitable candidate, otherwise, Director Qiao, you personally ordered, and I will put whoever you want.

How generous this is, let Qiao Guodong order it himself, and point who will put whom. I'll give you a head! couldn't help it, Qiao Guodong scolded. Only then did he understand that the Public Security Bureau was playing a game with him, a game of rats and cats. The game may seem irregular, unreasonable, but it does work.

How can it not play?

Who made you the director of the National People's Congress, not the secretary of the municipal party committee or the mayor. Who made you jump out in such a hurry and do it with Qiang Wei? You picked one shot, and people fired three shots, which of the people below dared to listen to you?

What is the National People's Congress? Qiao Guodong, who was angry, had to return to this problem again, this problem is an old problem, and it is a very troublesome problem. Qiao Guodong began to think about this problem from the first day of the municipal party committee to the National People's Congress, and when he thought of it today, he still didn't come up with a reason.

On the surface, the people's congress is an organ of power, and this is not determined by anyone, but by the constitution. The Constitution of the People's Republic of China clearly states that all power in the People's Republic of China belongs to the people, and the organs through which the people exercise state power are the National People's Congress and local people's congresses at all levels. But what about the facts? Looking at him, Qiao Guodong is now ranked second among the seven Standing Committee members, second only to Qiang Wei, and in various venues, except for Qiang Wei, only he can sit in the middle. Fake! Qiao Guodong has always believed that this is fake and has no substantive meaning. In essence, he has to hold meetings every day, he has to speak every day, and he can't speak casually, but he has to follow the tone of Qiang Weiding. If he is a little more out of line, the second time, either he will not be notified of the meeting, or he will have to sit on the cold bench like the chairman of the CPPCC. The secretary finished speaking, there was a mayor, the mayor finished speaking, there was a deputy mayor in charge, in short, the meeting was full, and when the speeches were finished one by one, the meeting time was up, he sat for a long time, and he didn't even have a chance to moisten his throat.

Qiao Guodong has tasted this kind of taste before, and the taste of the cold bench is really uncomfortable.

What is the National People's Congress? To put it bluntly, it's just an idle corner. Although I can't say this openly, I can clearly understand it in my heart, and I don't need you to say it. Qiao Guodong moved to the position of deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and the thing he felt the most was that he was hugged before and after, and he asked for instructions early and reported late was gone. When I met, although I nodded politely to you and said hello to Director Qiao, the greeting was eerie and creepy to hear. That's not it, after all, when I'm old, it's not bad to be able to move here, it's better than those who just retreat. But one day, he suddenly let people block the door, that person used to be the deputy director of a second-level bureau in the city, and he always wanted to be promoted and straightened out, but at the Standing Committee, Qiao Guodong voted against, the reason is that this person has too many problems with the style of men and women, and one can break out almost a month, so that the younger female comrades in his unit dare not go to work. Qiao Guodong said, if such a person can be promoted and reused, I don't think we need any organizational principles, as long as anyone wants to be it, will it be over for him? At that time, Qiang Wei had only been here for more than a year, and he didn't dare to be too arbitrary, as soon as he heard Qiao Guodong talk about this, he also pushed the boat down the river and said: "Then put it down first, as for his other problems, go down to investigate, if there is really one, do it according to what Old Qiao said." ”

This person let go and failed to straighten it out, but Qiang Wei's sentence "Just do what Lao Qiao said" immediately became a folk song in Heyang. Whenever something goes wrong, the person concerned will say, "Just do what Lao Qiao said." Later, even the children fought for a piece of candy and fought for injustice, and the older children would stand up and point to the noses of the younger children: "Just do what Old Joe said, do you hear!" As for what Old Joe said and on what occasion, no one knows, and no one wants to know.

After all, he was the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee at that time, and he didn't take this matter seriously, and privately thought that it would be good for him to pass it on like this. Who knows, as soon as he arrived at the National People's Congress, the situation was different, and this person dared to block him at the gate of the compound, pointed at his nose and asked: "You still can't talk about it, ah!" He was about to get angry when the man shouted hysterically, "Didn't you send you money for a woman?" You corrupt official, you will ask for 300,000 yuan when you open your mouth, drink blood, spit it out for me! ”

This happened more than once, and later, he easily did not dare to walk out of the hospital. You say you're not greedy, who believes it? You are greedy and don't do things for others, you deserve to be scolded!

If it were the same as before, who would dare?

As soon as he thought of this, Qiao Guodong wanted to cry. He could have worked in the position of deputy secretary for two more years, but Qiang Wei thought he was in the way, and he was too lenient and talkative, so he kicked him here. He can't swallow this breath until now.

After another three days, the public security bureau finally took action and reported the list. Looking at the list, Qiao Guodong almost turned his back on him, they actually handed over Lao Kui's case to Song Tong, the captain of the criminal investigation team!

In Heyang, Song Tong can also be regarded as a character, a figure who dare not despise him.

Song Tong's father is the former secretary of the Heyang Prefectural Party Committee, Mr. Song! After Heyang was withdrawn and set up as a city, he moved from the municipal party committee to the people's congress. On the side of the municipal party committee, he was Qiang Wei, and on the side of the National People's Congress, he was Qiao Guodong's office. The old man is deeply rooted in Heyang and has trained many cadres, including the current director of the public security bureau and the president of the court, all of whom started in the hands of the old man. Now although the old man has retired and is no longer in his position, the influence is still very great. According to folk sayings, today's Heyang is still the territory of the old man. In addition, after his eldest son graduated from the National People's Congress, he directly entered the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the high incense burned in the old grave immediately made the old man raise his eyebrows, and his waist was straighter than that of the local party secretary.

When Qiang Wei first arrived in Heyang, he also wanted to be a little ruthless and new at the beginning, wanting to completely eliminate the influence of the old man in the short term, and then let Heyang really be under his control. After two years of hard work, it turned out that doing so is tantamount to digging your own grave, no matter which branch you cut off, the new branch that grows out, or the surname Song. Even if he got airborne cadres from the province, within a few days of arriving in Heyang, he obediently entered that net. By the third year, Qiang Wei was smart, he didn't do this kind of useless struggle, he was not a fool after all, instead of spending his strength to move a mountain that would not be removed at all, it was better to let the mountain sit in peace, change his strategy, and be a new tree on the mountain. Let the fertile soil of this mountain and the abundant nutrients raise you as soon as possible, although it cannot be a towering tree, but at least it can attract a large group of monkeys to pick peaches on your own tree. As long as there are peaches to pick, the monkey will have to listen to him! Qiang Wei's change was very successful, and he immediately resolved the various potential crises he had as a new force, and suddenly became a new turtle in the old river, swimming freely.

isolated, but it became him Qiao Guodong.

Moreover, because he replaced the old man and left the old man completely idle behind the scenes, the old man actually took the grudge on him.

Qiao Guodong held his breath and was wronged, but there was no way, politics is like this, he is not emotional. What to talk about? Qiao Guodong couldn't tell. Sometimes he thinks that politics is like the kind of trampoline that children play, saying that it has no rules, and that there are and that it does not exist. In the jumping trampoline, the children are not earlier than whom, nor who comes earlier has the final say, but than the strength, than who can jump down!

In Heyang, he can't jump Qiangwei, let alone Old Man Song, but he doesn't want to admit defeat!

Also on this night, Qiao Guodong heard the news that the Provincial People's Congress was going to organize a "Research Working Group on Building a Harmonious Society and Improving the Law Enforcement Environment", and the team would arrive in Heyang a week later.

But when he woke up the next day and faced Lao Kui's case again, the excitement was gone.
