The first verse returns

As soon as the Boeing 747 landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Quansheng, secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, realized that another short day of overseas customers was over, and the hectic and busy situation was about to begin. The feeling of being in the first place automatically returned to its place, and without anyone reminding him, Quan Sheng had consciously placed himself in the powerful power magnetic field of the past.

He led a delegation to Western Europe to attract investment for 13 days, ran to six countries like a whirlwind, signed 13 contracts for investment projects, and finalized five high-tech cooperation projects. What makes Quansheng even happier is that this trip has further broadened the international market for the four famous brands of clothing in Jingzhou City, and this year's 4th International Fashion Festival is going to be a good show. The garment industry is one of the traditional pillar industries in Jingzhou, and its contribution to the economy of Jingzhou is not small in recent years. Therefore, whether in Rome or Paris, under the tense situation of foreign affairs, Quan Sheng also personally called the customs commissioner twice about the import of a batch of foreign fabrics.

Being overseas, power is not out of control. Before leading the delegation abroad, Quan Sheng clearly explained at the Standing Committee that all issues involving the appointment and dismissal of cadres and major decision-making would not be discussed during his stay abroad. Emergencies and uncertain issues of principle must be reported to him through safe channels. This time, there is news coming from China every day, and the guests of European foreigners are thousands of miles away, and the dynamics of Jingzhou City are still in full view. On the afternoon of his visit to the Consulate General in Marseille, France, he received three encrypted telex copies at once.

The plane taxied on the runway, still fast, and the fuselage trembled slightly, giving people a sense of steadiness that had fallen to the ground. Li Qichang, the secretary of the same company, ignored the flight attendant's radio warning, and came over from the economy class to help him pack his luggage, and the deputy mayor Zhou Shanben also sorted out the black leather bag he was carrying, but Quansheng sat in the first-class seat and did not move, and he did not even unfasten his seat belt.

The seats are window-by. Looking out of the window, the sky was dark, the rain was misty, and the window panes were covered with teardrops, making the airport a blur. Quan Sheng couldn't help frowning: Is it appropriate to rush back to Jingzhou immediately after getting off the plane? In the past, it was a four- or five-hour drive, and on this rainy night in May in the south of the Yangtze River, I was afraid that I would have to drive for six or seven hours. When boarding the plane at Paris-Charles de Gaulle International Airport, Director Bai of the Shanghai Office suggested such an arrangement on the phone, but he vetoed it.

I really care about the motherland! With the signing of investment projects one by one, the heart of Quansheng has already flown back to China.

As the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, his responsibility is too heavy, a large city with a highly developed economy, and a well-known political earthquake zone in the province, so that he does not dare to take it lightly day and night. In the 22 years of reform and opening up, many new political stars have risen from Jingzhou City, changing the historical appearance of Jingzhou City and changing their political status. But there are also some comrades who are planted in Jingzhou. Although these comrades also made indelible contributions to the economic development and today's glory of Jingzhou, they eventually fell like meteors. Quan Sheng knew very well in his heart that since the day he took office nine years ago, some people have been staring at him, and there have been all kinds of discussions. Some opponents want him to step into the void and fall into the abyss from which he will never recover. Therefore, during his nine years as secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, he has always maintained due political sensitivity and vigilance. It is precisely because of this that in this magnetic field of power with him as the axis, he must make powerful poles, forcing every grain of iron that enters the magnetic field to move according to his will. Quan Sheng believes that doing so is not only responsible for his own political life, but also responsible for the achievements of Jingzhou's reform and opening up.

Hug back and forth out of the airport exit, watching the rain falling heavier and heavier hesitated for a moment, Quan Sheng still made up his mind to rush back overnight. Director Bai of the Shanghai office who came to greet him was full of enthusiasm and wanted to invite the leaders to the office for dinner, and by the way, he reported the work, saying that it had been arranged. Quansheng did not agree. Director Bai used to be the deputy director of the ** reception department, and he was a meticulous and thoughtful person, who seemed to have expected this situation, and did not insist anymore, and together with his subordinates, he carried the fruits and food that had already been packed into the leaders' cars.

The mighty convoy was opened by a police car from the Jingzhou City Public Security Bureau, and drove straight from Pudong International Airport to Jingzhou City in the rain.

The convoy left the airport and drove onto the Shanghai-Mirror Expressway, which took about half an hour, and the time should have been around 17:45, when the mobile phone on the secretary Li Qichang rang - it was the female mayor Zhao Fenfang calling.

When Li Qichang heard that it was Zhao Fenfang, he said "Wait", and hurriedly handed the mobile phone to Quansheng behind him.

Quan Sheng took the phone and immediately heard Zhao Fenfang's familiar laughter and greetings.

Zhao Fenfang said happily on the phone that she was going to Shanghai to pick up the airport, but she didn't get out of the airport because she was temporarily receiving a central leader. Quan Sheng said that it is good for comrades in a team to engage in less such politeness. He also sensitively inquired about the situation of the central leader's visit to Jingzhou. Zhao Fenfang knew this in her heart, and immediately reported that the head of the central government had inspected a neighboring province and passed through Jingzhou, and had raised some hopes, but did not give any specific instructions, and also gave a detailed account of the leader's itinerary and activities during the day.

In the end, Zhao Fenfang inadvertently reported a new situation: "...... Oh, by the way, Secretary Qi, something happened during your time abroad: Tian Jian, the hired general manager of Blue Sky Technology, accepted a bribe of 300,000 yuan, and I approved it and asked the city procuratorate to file a case. ”

Quansheng didn't care,—— an economically developed city will inevitably have a few corrupt elements who are not angry, this kind of thing happens often, and it is already a little strange, so he said: "Mayor Zhao, you just let the city procuratorate do things according to law, we don't interfere less, and it's best not to be so specific about this kind of occasional case, so as not to make people talk nonsense." ”

Zhao Fenfang said: "Secretary Qi, no, no, no, people have sued me, and you are not at home." ”

Quan Sheng didn't take it seriously, and said: "Okay, okay, Mayor Zhao, you can take care of it if you want, as long as you have that energy, I don't object." When I closed the phone, I felt that something was wrong: the name of the general manager Tian Jian seemed to be very familiar? asked the secretary Li Qichang, "Qichang, is Tian Jian, the general manager of our Blue Sky Technology Company, the student of Dr. Klute in Germany?" ”

Li Qichang was eating bread with mineral water, and was stunned: "Yes! How? Secretary Qi, is it him that our procuratorate is arresting? ”

Quan Sheng was also stunned, and after a while, he said angrily: "This female mayor is just joking with me!" Our investment promotion group just signed a letter of intent for cooperation with Dr. Kluter's institute in Frankfurt to introduce other people's bioengineering technology, and this kind of thing happened at home, and they actually arrested other people's proud protégés, isn't this a deliberate trouble? Yes! ”

Li Qichang swallowed the mouthful of bread in his mouth and reminded: "Secretary Qi, Tian Jian is not only a student that Dr. Klut admires, but also a talent you approved the introduction, MBA, ten months ago, you personally instructed the board of directors of Blue Sky Technology to hire him as the general manager. Why didn't Mayor Zhao report to you and let the procuratorate arrest him first? Isn't this a bit ......" glanced at Quan Sheng and didn't say any more.

Quansheng's face sank, pondered for a while, and asked Li Qichang to call Zhao Fenfang.

The phone was connected, and Quan Sheng forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said, "Mayor Zhao, you didn't mention it on the phone just now, so I didn't think about it." Isn't the Tian Jian you mentioned a talent introduced by my instructions? How can you say that you will catch it? Are the economic problems you are talking about true? What should I do if I get it wrong? When Tian Jian was hired, our publicity momentum was not small! In addition, there is a new situation I would like to inform you: we have a bioengineering project in cooperation with the Klut Institute in Germany this time to attract investment in Europe, and one of the Chinese students that Dr. Klut admires the most is Tian Jian. ”

When he said this, Quan Sheng thought, this is not a good sign: how dare this female mayor cut off the talents he personally instructed to introduce? Whether Tian Jian has an economic problem is one thing, a challenge to his authority is another, even if Tian Jian wants to arrest it, he must nod his head, if she doesn't even understand this, what kind of mayor is she still in Jingzhou!

Zhao Fenfang obviously understood the meaning of Quansheng's words, and explained: "Secretary Qi, I really don't know what research institute and Dr. Krut, you were abroad at the time of the crime, and you asked me to temporarily preside over the work of the city during this period, so I closed my eyes and went home - Secretary Qi, this Tian Jian really can't be grasped." It's not clear on the phone, Secretary Qi, I'll report to you in person! ”

Quan Sheng sneered in his heart: Once the power is in hand, he will do the order, do not report the big things, report the small things every day, and even report the customs to report a batch of imported cloth to foreign countries, I really don't know what your idea is, do you Zhao Fenfang also want to be a pole of the power magnetic field! But he said, "That's good, that's good, Mayor Zhao, you can prepare, ah, I want to listen carefully to this report!" ”

After turning off the mobile phone, Li Qichang said carefully: "Secretary Qi, it's not that I'm talkative, I'm afraid you really have to listen to this report." Blue Sky Technology is a listed company under Blue Sky Group, and it has been restructured several times in the past two years, but the company is getting worse and worse. I finally paid a lot of money to get an MBA, but I sent someone to prison in ten months, which is incredible! ”

Quan Sheng snorted: "Don't say it, if Tian Jian really took a bribe of 300,000 yuan, that Dr. Klut would not be able to save him." ”

Li Qichang smiled: "Secretary Qi, do you think it is possible?" If he is greedy for these 300,000 yuan, why should Tian Jian return to China? Why bother to apply for a job in our city's blue sky technology company? MBAs like him are all masters with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands or millions abroad! ”

Quan Sheng was a little impatient and waved his hand: "In today's commodity society, what will not happen if you forget your righteousness?" Yes? Before the problem is clarified, don't say such irresponsible words, Mayor Zhao didn't do anything wrong! ”

The two of them didn't talk about this topic any more, they ate something and closed their eyes to recuperate.

Despite being exhausted and his eyelids were sleepy, he couldn't sleep at all. The faces of Zhao Fenfang and many cadres in Jingzhou appeared in front of them from time to time, and they could see them when they opened and closed their eyes. On both sides of the highway, the brightly lit cities and villages flashed in the rustle of wheels, and the colorful bands of light alerted him for a while. Thoughts grew like weeds in the rainy night of Jiangnan in May.

Such a problem as grasping Tian Jian should never happen, and his leading authority should not face such a blatant challenge.

The Jingzhou team is no longer the motley team of the past, and the political earthquake caused by the "one city, two systems" seven years ago has created the power structure of Jingzhou today. In that earthquake, those who should collapse collapsed and those who should go, including Mayor Liu Chongtian, who was the first to work with him. Although Liu Chongtian has come up from the line again, become the executive deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and is approaching the center of power step by step, Liu Chongtian is a very clear person, even if he wants to attack him, he has to wait for the right time. After all, he has big roots and deep roots, so he is not so easy to pull down. And even if Liu Chongtian wants to bring down his big tree, he won't make a fuss about a hiring manager!

There is only one conclusion: the female mayor is too bold and has already put herself in a bad position!

At this moment, the mobile phone rang again, several times. Li Qichang, who had already dozed off, suddenly woke up, hurriedly answered, and after "hey" twice, he handed over the mobile phone again: "Secretary Qi, the phone number of Chen's hometown in Beijing!" It seems to be the secretary Xiaozhao. ”

At this time, it should be around 19 o'clock on May 10, 21,—— car has passed the Pinghu section of the Shanghai-mirror Expressway, and the lights of thousands of homes in Pinghu City are being left far behind, turning into a swaying and ethereal ribbon of light.

Quansheng took the phone, and picked up the phone with a smile: "Oh, oh, Xiaozhao, why did you call at this time?" Where am I? Hey, I just returned from Europe to attract investment, yes, I just got off the plane, and I'm on my way back to Jingzhou. Is Old Chen still in good health? It's spring, if your body allows, please ask Elder Chen to come to our Jingzhou to have a look, ah......"

Xiao Zhao interrupted Quan Sheng's words quite impolitely, and his words were ominous: "Secretary Qi, don't talk to me, I'm not in the mood!" You know what? Chen Lao threw two teacups in the hospital today and lost his temper for your business! ”

Quan Sheng was stunned, but his face tried to remain calm: "Oh, what's going on?" Small...... Xiaozhao? Xiao Zhao sighed: "Secretary Qi, things have come to this point, are you still hiding it from Old Chen?" Think about it, how did Chen Lao remind you in the past: I have repeatedly asked you to take care of your wife and children, has your big brother managed it? My wife and daughter are all having financial problems, and you're still here to fight haha! - Secretary Qi, let me tell you: Old Chen said that even if you can get along with the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Party Committee, you don't want to go over to his old man! Chen Lao is really sad about what happened in Jingzhou! ”

The rain was heavier, mixed with lightning and thunder, as if the sky had fallen, and everywhere was a world of terrifying water. With the lightning and thunder, Xiao Zhao was still speaking, his voice was not loud, but every word was better than the thunder outside the car window: "...... Chen Lao said to Comrade Li Shiyan and Comrade Liu Chongtian, Cheng Kejie and Hu Changqing were both shot, what are you, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee? Don't think you're an iron-fist person, the earth will still rotate without anyone in this world, and you can travel 80,000 miles a day by sitting on the ground. Therefore, don't have illusions in your brother, you must cooperate with the provincial party committee to figure out the affairs of your family and Jingzhou, and give an explanation to the organization! ”

Xiao Zhao's voice disappeared on the phone, when did it disappear, Quan Sheng didn't know.

It was the soft call of the secretary Li Qichang that pulled Quan Sheng back from the state of dementia caused by extreme shock.

Only then did Quan Sheng find that he had lost his temper in front of his subordinates for the first time in the nine years since he became the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Li Qichang obviously noticed something, and he spoke more and more carefully: "Secretary Qi, you ...... Are you okay? ”

Quan Sheng disguised: "Oh, it's okay! - This hellish weather, you really shouldn't have to rush overnight! ”

Li Qichang hesitated slightly: "Also, how good it is to stay overnight in the Shanghai office, and you can still chat with Chen Lao on the phone!" As if he suddenly remembered, "Hey, Secretary Qi, why don't we turn around and go back to Pudong International Airport, and fly to Beijing tonight to see Chen Lao!" Old Chen's body is getting worse day by day, and the people in our hometown will see it once less......"

How clever a child is, he has discovered so much from his momentary gaffe.

Quan Sheng couldn't help but move in his heart, and was about to order to return to Pudong International Airport, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back.

What's the use of going to Beijing now? The newspaper's letter Xiaozhao has already represented Chen Laobao, what else do you want? Since your wife and daughter had an accident together, it means that the problem is already very serious, and Chen Lao's side must be powerless.

What matters now is not any reckless action, but calmness.

After thinking about it calmly, I realized that although the problem was serious, it was not to the point where he lost his freedom. If the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the provincial party committee had decided to impose shuanggui on him, he would not have been able to leave the Pudong International Airport more than two hours ago. Since he can walk out of Pudong International Airport freely, it means that things have not reached the point of complete despair! He is still the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, and may still be able to organize a stubborn counteroffensive and use his political wisdom to deal with this sudden earthquake.

It's really interesting, I thought that the history of Jingzhou as a political earthquake zone in this province would end in his hands and in this new century, but I didn't expect it to come anyway, so suddenly, so fiercely, people actually started on his wife and daughter! No wonder the honest and obedient female mayor Zhao Fenfang suddenly put herself in the wrong position. But it turned out that the magnetic field of power was shaking, disintegrating, and the betrayal had already begun, and he was abroad for thirteen days, and Jingzhou City actually changed the world. This kind of thing, which often happens to the presidents of small countries in the Americas and Africa, happened to him today - a trip abroad actually caused a successful "coup"!

What's the solution? There is no better way, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop! There is only a face, only a battle, how good it was that Chen Lao said back then, it was a soldier who was about to fall on the battlefield, and he was still on the battlefield now!

At some point, the car stopped, not only his special car, but also the entire convoy.

Quan Sheng was about to ask what was going on, the police car slowly reversed in the heavy rain, and a young and handsome police officer stuck his head out of the police car, raised his wet head and shouted: "Secretary Qi, the rain is too heavy, the highway has been completely closed, we must get off the road at this exit, is it not to take a break in Tangkou Town on the spot, and wait for the rain to be lighter before leaving?" ”

Quan Sheng didn't think about it: "No need, after going off the road, take the auxiliary road, even if you go under the knife, you have to go!" ”

The officer answered "yes", his head retracted, and the police car slowly drove away.

Li Qichang muttered, obviously having something in his words: "Secretary Qi, you...... Why do you bother? ”

Quan Sheng didn't say it explicitly, leaned back, and said indifferently: "Those who should come must come, and those who should fight must fight!" With fatherly kindness, he patted Li Qichang on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Qichang, don't be foolish, you can't take care of my affairs, take a good rest, I don't know what to do when I return to Jingzhou!" ”

As soon as the words fell, another bright white lightning streaked across the night sky, reflecting the road ahead as if it were day, and after a long time, a muffled thunder exploded, and although it was expected, Quan Sheng still couldn't help but shudder in his heart...... The night in Jingzhou City was hazy and drizzling, but there was no thunder and lightning, and it was still as calm as usual after nightfall.

During the more than three-hour questioning, Qi Xiaoyan, chairman and general manager of Lantian Group Company, Quansheng's daughter, looked out the window from time to time over the head of Qian Wenming, the female director of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and saw the neon lights shining at night from the hazy afternoon.

Neon lights adorn the 38-story Century Plaza building across Jiefang Road, and the night sky is full of color. The misty drizzle not only does not hurt the splendor of the night in Jingzhou, but adds a soggy atmosphere to this metropolis that never sleeps.

If it weren't for Liu Chongtian, executive deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, who quietly rushed to Jingzhou with the task force, and if Director Qian of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection hadn't suddenly talked to her, she would have sat in her father's car No. 001 and accompanied her father from Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Jingzhou directly.

My father said on the phone -- he told her personally: The Air China plane landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport at 17 o'clock, and it is now 20:05 a.m., and it is more than four hours from Shanghai to Jingzhou.

While thinking so crankily, Qi Xiaoyan couldn't help but turn her head to look at the electronic clock hanging on the side wall.

The female director Qian Wenming noticed this detail, and said again in a hoarse voice: "...... Qi Xiaoyan, what clock are you looking at? Let me tell you: you don't have any illusions anymore, Secretary Qi can't save you when he comes back, you must have a correct attitude towards the organization! No one has the privilege of transcending party discipline and state law, neither you nor your mother! ”

Qi Xiaoyan smiled arrogantly: "Director Qian, I never thought that my mother and I had the privilege of transcending party discipline and state law, I just thought it was strange: how did you all become Liu Chongtian's dogs?" He tells you to bite whomever you want! ”

Qian Wenming's face couldn't be hung up, the table was slammed, and he stood up: "Qi Xiaoyan, you ...... You're too rampant! ”

Qi Xiaoyan gently tapped the coffee table in front of her with her knuckles: "Director Qian, please pay attention to your attitude, don't play prestige in front of me!" He breathed a sigh of relief and added, "—I'm sorry, but I have to retract what I just said, which has insulted your character. His gaze once again moved over the top of Qian Wenming's head to the window, "But, Director Qian, do you have any personality as a comrade?" You are an old comrade, it's not that you don't know the historical contradiction between Liu Chongtian of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and my father, you can't have milk or be a mother! ”

Qian Wenming didn't have any expression on his face: "Qi Xiaoyan, so you still think you don't have a problem?" ”

Qi Xiaoyan shook her head: "Yes, I still think you are mistaken, at least I am mistaken." I don't know about Mayor Bai, I can only guarantee myself and the Blue Sky Group under my leadership that there will be no problems......"

Qian Wenming smiled coldly: "Is there a problem with your Blue Sky Group?" Qi Xiaoyan, do you dare to say such things? ”

Qi Xiaoyan sighed slightly: "This may not be accurate, but the problem of Blue Sky Technology Co., Ltd. is not my problem, I know that the general manager Tian Jian took bribes, or I asked the case to be reported, this matter Mayor Zhao knows, I am responsible for the leadership at most." She sighed in distress and explained, "Director Qian, you also know that Blue Sky Group is a large state-owned enterprise that produces automobiles, and its subordinate companies are in addition to Blue Sky Technology, which is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and there are 12 large and small production and operation companies, with thousands of cadres and tens of thousands of employees, and no one can guarantee that there will be no problems." There is no problem, and we don't need to set up a discipline inspection commission or an anti-corruption bureau, right? ”

Qian Wenming's face looked better, and his tone softened a lot: "Qi Xiaoyan, then, let's talk about this listed company, Blue Sky Technology, is it good?" How did you find out that Tian Jian took bribes? What role did you, the chairman and general manager of the group, play in this bribery case? I hope you can be honest and clear. ”

Qi Xiaoyan was silent again, and turned her head to look at the electronic clock again, with an obvious expectation in her eyes.

Qian Wenming shook his head helplessly and stood up: "Qi Xiaoyan, this is your last chance, you must cherish it, don't look at the watch anymore, okay?" Even if Secretary Qi is in Jingzhou now, even if he stands in front of you, he can't save you! Walking in front of Qi Xiaoyan, he hesitated, but still said, his voice was much lower, obviously afraid that people outside the door would hear, "I can tell you: this time even Secretary Qi was dragged down, and the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee held an emergency meeting to study the Jingzhou issue!" ”

Qi Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, as if she had been shot, and looked at Qian Wenming in a daze, and she didn't wake up for a long time.

Qian Wenming returned to his desk and sat down, his tone and expression returned to normal: "Say, say, Qi Xiaoyan, strive for the initiative!" You know very well that we will not invite you to the Discipline Inspection Commission to talk without a certain amount of evidence, and you see, I have taken turns talking with the comrades of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, ah, we have been talking for more than three hours, and it has set a record. It's not that Secretary Liu Chongtian instructed us to be cautious, we don't need to spend so much energy, we can announce the 'two rules' to you as soon as we meet this afternoon!" ”

The neon lights on Century Square eclipsed and ceased to be gorgeous, and the night sky in May became cloudy.

The tears in Qi Xiaoyan's eyes fell unconsciously, and her voice choked: "Director Qian, you ...... You do me a favor, and...... Let's talk to Liu Chongtian, okay? Let...... Let me think about it when I go back, think about it, I ...... I'm in a mess right now, really messed up, this ...... It came so suddenly......"

Qian Wenming shook his head: "You know it's impossible, Secretary Liu Chongtian and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will not agree!" ”

Qi Xiaoyan didn't completely sober up until this time: her free days were over, and no matter how she chose now, the end of "Shuanggui" was inevitable. Liu Chongtian, executive deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, has always been the opposite of his father, this person will neither let go of their mother and daughter, nor will he let go of her father Quansheng, a life-and-death political battle has actually started three hours ago or even earlier, except for taking risks, she has no way out.

The electronic clock on the wall emitted a clear "ticking" sound, and the air in the room was so oppressive that it made people's hearts palpitate.

Qi Xiaoyan's heart was beating wildly, and there were four words in her mind over and over again: take risks, take risks...... As long as she walks out of this office, rushes down to the third floor at a speed of 100 meters, and rushes out of the gate of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, everything will change, and the history of this political struggle in Jingzhou City may be rewritten, and my father will have the greatest room for organizing forces to calmly counterattack.

Wiping the tears from her face, Qi Xiaoyan opened her mouth as calmly as possible: "Okay, Director Qian, I said." I have an unshirkable responsibility for the bribery case of Tian Jian of Blue Sky Technology - not only the leadership responsibility, but also the circumstances of shielding criminals. I'm afraid that my family's ugliness will be publicized, and I ...... after the case I once hinted that Tian Jian was gone, ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly stood up, "Oh, Director Qian, I'm sorry, I'm inconvenient today, I want to ...... Go to the bathroom. ”

Qian Wenming frowned: "Okay, okay, I'll go with you." As he spoke, he stood up.

The bathroom is at the top of the stairs, far from Qian Wenming's office. It was already night, and the hallway was empty, and it was quiet. Qi Xiaoyan pressed the wild beat of her heart, went out with Qian Wenming, walked to the bathroom at the staircase, walked to the bathroom door, and suddenly pushed Qian Wenming down, and went downstairs as quickly as the wind.

Qian Wenming no longer imagined that the daughter of the secretary of the municipal party committee would come to this hand, and after he sat down on the ground, he didn't understand how he fell, and he didn't expect Qi Xiaoyan to escape. What's even worse is that when she fell to the ground, her myopic glasses fell off again, and when she touched the glasses and put them back on, and desperately chased them down, Qi Xiaoyan had already rushed to the hall downstairs.

Standing on the stairs, through the cracked spectacle lenses, Qian Wenming watched Qi Xiaoyan smash open a locked glass door with a bang with the red fire extinguisher placed next to the door, and rushed out lifelessly.

Qian Wenming shouted "come on" while chasing after him, and when he passed through the glass door, the back of his hand was scratched.

The doorman at the gate was called out by Qian Wenming's eager call, but before the doorman could understand what was going on, he was deliberately knocked down by Qi Xiaoyan who rushed to the front. Qi Xiaoyan stumbled and almost fell next to the side door. The side door happened to be open, Qi Xiaoyan held on to the iron fence of the side gate for a little breath, and shot into the busy Jiefang Street like an arrow without hesitation, and disappeared into the night rain in May in Jiangnan...... The incredible "Qi Xiaoyan Escape Incident" happened like this!

Section 2: Pursuit

Subsequently, Qian Wenming, director of the Third Division of the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, jumped into the Yellow River and could not be washed.

Hearing the telephone report of Secretary Wang of the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Liu Chongtian, head of the task force and executive deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, was extremely shocked.

It was 21:51 p.m. on May 10, 2001, and Liu Chongtian remembered it very clearly. In the course of handling the case in the following months, Liu Chongtian will never forget this frustrating moment for him. This historical moment should have been very satisfying, but because of the sudden occurrence of this unexpected event, it became a little gray and damp, and later the development of events and bloody facts proved that the consequences of Qi Xiaoyan's escape were quite serious.

When the mobile phone rang, Liu Chongtian was sitting in the command car, and according to the instructions of the provincial party committee, he arranged and carried out the shuanggui action against Lin Yida, member of the Standing Committee and secretary general of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and Bai Keshu, member of the Standing Committee of the municipal party committee and executive vice mayor. His command car departed from the Xinwei Seaside Recuperation Center of the Provincial Public Security Department and was marching at the intersection of Zhongshan South Road and Sichuan Road, with his old subordinate sitting next to him, Chen Liren, deputy director of the ** General Office of Jingzhou City and now vice president of the Provincial Procuratorate and director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

After Chen Liren learned the news of Qi Xiaoyan's escape, his black face pulled and he immediately yelled at Liu Chongtian: "...... What an accidental escape? I think this is indulgence, it is ulterior motives! It's a strange news in the world, the suspect was talking in their Jingzhou City Commission for Discipline Inspection Office and suddenly ran away! What do they eat for the Jingzhou Commission for Discipline Inspection? Why talk like that? Is that Qian Wenming a cadre who was fully mentioned by Sheng with one hand? Isn't it a goddaughter? Secretary Liu, this must be investigated! ”

Liu Chongtian did not echo Chen Liren, after a short period of thought, he immediately pressed his mobile phone, and said while pressing: "Lao Chen, calm down, don't shout like this, and don't jump to conclusions, when talking to Qi Xiaoyan, aren't there any comrades from our province participating?" Now it can only be treated as an accident! The mobile phone was connected, and Liu Chongtian said into the phone: "Director Zhao?" I'm Liu Chongtian, something unexpected happened: Qi Xiaoyan of the Blue Sky Group escaped, just now, and rushed to Jiefang Street after the Commission for Discipline Inspection building was out of control. You immediately arrange it, let the Jingzhou City Public Security Bureau cooperate, block the main exits, conduct a thorough investigation overnight, and report to me at any time if you find clues! ”

After making this call, the command car and several police cars had already driven along Sichuan Road into the first district of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee dormitory.

Personnel from the provincial and municipal discipline inspection commissions and the provincial anti-corruption bureau, who arrived one step earlier, were already waiting in front of the two-story building of Lin Yida, secretary general of the municipal party committee, and Bai Keshu, executive vice mayor. Bai Keshu is suspected of being involved in the underworld, and his relationship in Jingzhou is intertwined and powerful, so he can't be cautious. It was only at the last minute that the task force decided on a plan of action for the late-night door.

The small buildings of the Lin and Bai families are next to each other, the Lin family is the fourteenth building, and the Bai family is the fifteenth building, and the two small buildings have now been surrounded as a general goal. Between the two families is a green space, and in the green space there are also several young police officers in civilian clothes.

The rain was still falling, and the dripping was getting heavier and heavier, and the officers on duty at the scene were all soaked.

Liu Chongtian parked the car in front of Building 14, accompanied by Chen Liren, who was dressed in civilian clothes, and Secretary Wang of the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, walked towards Building 14 step by step, and suddenly had a feeling of going home,—— when he was the mayor of Jingzhou City seven years ago, Building 14 was where he lived, and Lin Yida was only the deputy secretary general of the Municipal Party Committee and director of the General Office, and he was not eligible for this kind of municipal housing treatment. How many times, after the long meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee or the mayor's office, he dragged his tired body home, the light in front of the door was always on, no matter how late his wife Zou Yueru and son Beibei were always waiting for him. At that time, Zou Yueru was not paralyzed, and was still working as the director of the Confidentiality Bureau of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, and the deputy director of the administrative level. With a healthy lady and a lively son, Building 14 is like a real home. Now, it's all a memory. Seven years ago, Quan Sheng kicked him out of Jingzhou and completely changed his life,—— and when he was transferred and moved, there was an accidental car accident, his son Bei Bei died, his wife was paralyzed, and fate almost broke him.

Walking into the living room downstairs, the impression of home was completely gone, and the familiar feeling of the past disappeared like mercury, and Liu Chongtian walked into a luxury hotel in a trance. The Lin family has just been renovated, and the report materials say that the rainbow art decoration company under the Blue Sky Group decorated it for him, and the material cost alone is as high as 260,000 yuan.

At this moment, this old subordinate and old colleague was already standing in front of him with a shy belly, and tried to shake hands with him. He just didn't see it, took the folder handed over by the secretary, read the book according to the script, and announced the "two regulations" decision to Lin Yida on behalf of the provincial party committee, and asked Lin Yida to explain his problems at the specified time and place from now on.

After reading the decision document of the provincial party committee, Lin Yida shouted timidly: "Liu ...... Mayor Liu ......"

Liu Chongtian instinctively let out an "oh" and asked, "Lin Yida, what else do you not understand?" ”

Lin Yida looked at the people in the living room, and stopped talking: "Mayor Liu, I'...... I would like to say a few words to you individually. ”

Liu Chongtian waved his hand and said indifferently: "No need, if you have anything to say, just say it here!" ”

Lin Yida smiled bitterly: "That...... Then forget it! ”

However, when he walked to the door, when he passed by Lin Yida, Lin Yida grabbed his hand and said hurriedly: "Liu ...... Mayor Liu, don't make a mistake, I'm ...... I've never been a fully prosperous person, really! ”

Liu Chongtian shook off Lin Yida's hand and looked at Lin Yida: "Lin Yida, what do you mean?" What do your economic problems have to do with Comrade Quansheng? It's your problem, and you have to make it clear to the organization! Walk! ”

There was another scene in the Bai family in Building 15: Bai Keshu, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and executive deputy mayor who was mentioned by Quan Sheng, was not a soft egg, after the announcement of the "two regulations" decision, the youngest executive deputy mayor in the province looked at Liu Chongtian coldly, and said with undisguised hostility: "You have the ability, Liu Chongtian, you still came back with the homecoming group!" ”

Liu Chongtian smiled sarcastically at Bai Keshu: "District Chief Bai, I criticized you a lot when I was the mayor, but I didn't expect you to not grow up all these years, and the dog still can't spit out ivory!" Wrong again! It's not that I'm back, it's not that the homecoming group is back, it's that party discipline and state law are back! After that, he restrained his smile and waved at the staff next to him, "Take it away!" ”

In less than half an hour, Lin Yida, Bai Keshu, and Gao Yaju, the wife of Quan Sheng, went to the place where they were supposed to go, and the main suspects in the Jingzhou corruption case, which alarmed the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, were all arrested on this stormy night on 10 May 2001.

When he was about to get in the car and leave the dormitory of the municipal party committee, Deputy Director Zhao of the Provincial Public Security Department made a phone call and reported: The police force has been arranged, the main traffic arteries in Jingzhou City have been sent to keep an eye on them, and Qi Xiaoyan has sent people to monitor the places where Qi Xiaoyan may stay, and he is ready to take a good look at the city's key entertainment venues. Liu Chongtian explained that entertainment venues can be checked, but it is necessary to be strategic, not to make the city full of storms, so as not to be exploited by people with ulterior motives, and the current situation in Jingzhou is relatively complicated.

Chen Liren immediately took over the topic and said: "It's not complicated, it's too complicated!" Secretary Liu, I suspect that the female director of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection deliberately let go of Qi Xiaoyan! Tell me, why can't the female director catch up with Qi Xiaoyan? Is she really chasing or fake chasing? Yes? ”

Liu Chongtian didn't make a sound at first, got into the car, and then lowered his face and criticized: "Lao Chen, why are you still talking so baselessly? Didn't you hear that just now? Bai Keshu has already scolded us for being a homecoming group! Can you make less of a mess for me! After a pause, he said again, "Don't talk about the female director, I think even you Chen Liren may not be able to catch up with Qi Xiaoyan, Qi Xiaoyan was the city's sprint champion when she was in middle school, and when you were in the team together, Lao Qi didn't blow it to me!" ”

Chen Liren sighed: "Qi Xiaoyan's run, the case of Blue Sky Technology Company will be difficult to handle." With that, the car had started, and in a blink of an eye, it drove to the gate of the municipal party committee dormitory.

Another unexpected thing happened: just as Liu Chongtian's police car with a provincial license plate was about to drive out of the gate, the car of Quansheng at No. 001 in Jingzhou City happened to drive into the gate. The bright headlights of the two sides were like the eyes of their respective owners, and they suddenly forced each other, and the moment the two cars met, the owners in the car saw each other's familiar faces clearly.

As if there was some kind of tacit understanding, the two cars all stopped, the brakes were very sharp, and the distance between the two sides was less than three meters.

Liu Chongtian rolled down the window and shouted: "Hey, Lao Qi!" "I got out of the car first and walked into the rain. Quansheng hesitated for a moment and got out of the car.

As if to make up for the hesitation that shouldn't happen, Quan Sheng took the initiative to take two steps towards Liu Chongtian, smiled, and spoke first: "Oh, Chongtian, why did the third watch come to me in the middle of the night?" Am I not dreaming big-headed, right? Yes! ”

As he spoke, Quan Sheng naturally held Liu Chongtian's hand.

Liu Chongtian put his hands hard and shook Quansheng's hand back: "Lao Qi, it's me who has a big dream, and I dreamed of quarreling with you at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee a few days ago!" - Hey, how did you hear that you led a delegation to Europe to attract investment? Just came back today, right? ”

Quan Sheng didn't know what was going on, and said with a smile: "I just came back, our city office in Shanghai asked me to rest in Shanghai for a night, but I didn't pay attention to them, I can't rest assured about this stall in Jingzhou, and I'm going to prepare for the International Fashion Festival soon!" ”

Liu Chongtian smiled: "Yes, yes, who doesn't know your old buddy's drive?" Yes? As soon as I woke up in the morning, at twelve o'clock at night, I had been in the team with you for two years, and I lost more than a dozen pounds of meat! This time, I took a look and found that the changes in our Jingzhou are really not small, and the comrades praise you for doing great things and doing practical things! Oh, by the way, Yueru wants me to say hello to you, the old leader, on her behalf! ”

Quan Sheng was stunned for a moment: "Oh, also say hello to Yueru on my behalf, to be honest, my concern for Yueru is more than my concern for your old buddy!" After a pause, he said, "Chongtian, don't just listen to these good words, now there are many people who want to see my jokes and want to fix me. You say, don't you? ”

The smile on Liu Chongtian's face froze: "Old Qi, I heard what you said!" You came back just in time, there is a situation I have to talk to you first,—— it is said that Comrade Bingyi and Comrade Shiyan will officially communicate with you on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but this is a coincidence, so let's say hello first! Go, go, get to my car and say! ”

Quan Sheng stood still, still with a smile on his face: "Chongtian, you say, let's say, this rain is not heavy." Liu Chongtian really felt that it was difficult to spit out, and smiled bitterly: "Lao Qi, it's so sudden, it's too unexpected, there is a big economic case in Jingzhou, involving some major leading cadres of the municipal party committee and the city, Comrade Bingyi and the standing committee of the provincial party committee held a special meeting, and decided to be led by Comrade Shiyan, and let me organize some comrades to take root in Jingzhou to implement the case." According to the current situation, it also involves your wife Gao Yaju and Xiaoyan, so the opinions of the provincial party committee and Comrade Bingyi are ......"

Quan Sheng didn't finish listening to it and turned around, and before getting into the car, he turned his head again and said loudly: "Chongtian, don't say it, you come back to catch the Jingzhou case, okay, very good, you just follow the opinions of the provincial party committee and Comrade Shiyan, I will avoid it!" ”

Liu Chongtian took two steps towards Quansheng's car: "Old Qi, ...... you Don't get me wrong! ”

Quan Sheng stretched out his head from the car, with an inviolable ** sacred: "I won't misunderstand, Chongtian, shoot when it's time to shoot!" What else are you polite to corrupt elements? is to chase and fight, Gao Yaju and Qi Xiaoyan do not have the privilege of going beyond the law! ”

After that, the Jingzhou No. 001 car suddenly increased its speed and drove away.

The muddy water rolled out of the wheels splashed Liu Chongtian's body and face.

Liu Chongtian stood like a statue, but he didn't dodge, and his resentful eyes stared at the car that was going away for a long time.

Under the beautiful orchid lights in the community, the car gradually disappeared and finally disappeared around the corner.

At this time, Chen Liren walked to Liu Chongtian's side and called softly: "Hey, Secretary Liu, Secretary Liu......"

Liu Chongtian was awakened, wiped the rain and muddy water on his face, shook his head helplessly, and got into his car.

The lights in the room were turned on one by one, and it was the secretary Li Qichang who pressed them after running forward.

Qichang, the kid, knew everything in his heart, but he didn't ask anything or say anything.

After the young man brightened the living room and several rooms, he turned on the water dispenser in time and prepared to boil water to make tea for him. Because of Li Qichang's existence, his heart was a little full, and this long night that made him miserable and embarrassed had a little more warmth and vitality.

If it weren't for this sudden political earthquake, his wife Gao Yaju and daughter Xiaoyan should be by his side at this moment, sharing with him the reunion after another small farewell, and every corner of this two-story building would be filled with their laughter.

However, such a huge change has happened! His wife and daughter all fell into the hands of his old rival Liu Chongtian, and they were all taken away by Liu Chongtian in the name of party discipline and state law, leaving only the remnants of their lives in the humid air of the building.

Liu Chongtian seems to be going to be wiped out this time! After this person was transferred from Jingzhou to work in the province, he did not come back for seven years, and every time he passed by Jingzhou, he took a detour, and this time he came back so violently, which shows that Liu Chongtian's arrival is meaningful, and this person may not have made general preparations before coming back, but made careful and careful preparations, and the preparation time may be as long as seven years, and it may start on the day he is transferred out of Jingzhou. He was so careless that he didn't see it at the time, he thought that Liu Chongtian could still be united, and even went to the provincial capital to visit this frozen political snake during the Spring Festival every year!

The phone rang, and it rang so frighteningly, and he looked at it in a daze, but didn't answer.

Li Qichang was packing up the things he had brought back from abroad next to the telephone, and cast his inquiring eyes. Quansheng pondered for a moment and motioned for Li Qichang to answer the phone.

Li Qichang picked up the phone: "Yes, Secretary Qi is back, just entered the door, who are you?" ”

It was obviously a phone call for a ventilated message, and Quansheng's heart suddenly pinched.

In the next few minutes, Li Qichang kept saying "oh", holding the microphone and listening, almost without saying a word.

Putting down the microphone, Li Qichang reported quietly: "Secretary Qi, it's an anonymous phone, the caller refuses to say who he is, and I don't know the accent very well, so I guess it's Xiaoyan's friend." The caller asked me to tell you that Xiaoyan escaped and is safe now, so I want you to hold on and don't worry about her. ”

An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Quansheng's mouth, and he patted Li Qichang on the shoulder: "Okay, Qichang, don't be busy here, go back quickly, ah?" Look, it's almost midnight! Li Qichang smiled: "Secretary Qi, since it's so late, I'll live here with you!" ”

Quansheng's heart was hot, but he couldn't see anything on his face: "Don't, don't, I've been abroad for almost half a month, and I said that I would go back today, how can I do it if I don't go back?" Xiao Wang is not worried about you? Let's go, let's go, I'm going to rest too! ”

Li Qichang no longer insisted: "Okay, Secretary Qi, I'll put the bath water for you and leave!" ”

Quan Sheng said: "Forget it, Qichang! I'll do it myself, I'll do it! ”

Li Qichang didn't listen, took a bathtub, put a basin of steaming bath water, and then said goodbye and left.

The only trace of vitality was taken away by Li Qichang, and the room became empty. The sound of wind and rain outside the window came from time to time, making the hideousness of the long night colorful. Such a difficult moment has never occurred in his political career so far. While taking off his clothes slowly and preparing to take a bath, he thought, "Hardship does not mean that he can't get through, there are always many firsts in life, but his first time came a little late."

Quansheng didn't believe that his daughter Qi Xiaoyan would have any financial problems. His own daughter knows it herself. The daughter's ambition is not here, she wants to follow the path he has walked, the glorious road of politics, use power to change the world, benefit thousands of people in Jingzhou City, and create a glorious historical monument of a politician. Today's facts have proved that her daughter is very politically minded, and she knows that she may not be able to withstand it if she falls into the hands of Liu Chongtian, and she will be rectified if she has nothing to do, so she left.

The daughter walked well, which not only gave Liu Chongtian a problem, but also won him time to think and rectify his position.

So, what about his wife Gao Yaju? Will they fall into the quagmire of economic crime? It can't be either. My wife is not a greedy person, otherwise, I would not have married him, a poor boy from a fisherman from Star Island. has been married for thirty-two years, and no matter how difficult life is, I have never heard her complain. As his status gets higher and higher, he has everything he should have, and Gao Yaju is becoming more and more respected by people, and his heart is satisfied. Besides, she retired three years ago, so it is impossible for her to be involved in any economic cases. Even after retiring, he did not relax his education and reminders to her, she not only listened, but also followed. He saw with his own eyes that Gao Yaju ruthlessly drove the gift-giver out of the house again and again, and his attitude was stricter than his. Just half a year ago, Lin Yida, secretary general of the municipal party committee, took the initiative to take someone to the house to decorate, Gao Yaju refused, and he didn't ask for his opinion in advance, he only knew it from Lin Yida after a long time. Gao Yaju said to Lin Yida that the home of the secretary of the municipal party committee is decorated like a hotel, what will the people think? The impact is not good! His wife is so attentive to the influence that it is unlikely that he will give someone a handle, and he should have faith in her.

While lying in the bathtub and taking a shower, the phone rang again.

Quansheng thought about it and felt that this call should be from the female mayor Zhao Fenfang, and the matter had reached this point, and the female mayor should report his funeral in the name of reporting. Stretched out his hand and grabbed the microphone and listened, but it was a little surprising that it was not the female mayor Zhao Fenfang who called, but the deputy mayor Zhou Shanben, who went abroad with him to attract investment and returned to China on the same plane.

Zhou Shanben called "Secretary Qi" twice on the phone, but it seemed difficult to speak, and he paused for a long time before saying, "What...... How did I hear that something big happened in our family in the past ten days? Secretary Qi, do you ...... the situation You know all about it, right? ”

Quan Sheng tried to calm his emotions: "What's the big deal?" Rare books? The sky is falling? Yes? ”

Zhou Shanben said sneeringly: "I think it's about the same!" Lin Yida, member of the Standing Committee of our Municipal Party Committee and Secretary-General, and Bai Keshu, executive vice mayor, all went in, and I heard that it was tonight, and there was ...... And your comrade Gao Yaju and ......"

Quan Sheng couldn't calm down: "Shan Ben, Comrade Liu Chongtian told me about my family, don't mention it again, I really don't know what happened to Lin Yida and Bai Keshu,—— what have you heard?" Yes? Tell me more about it, don't rush. ”

Zhou Shanben sneered: "Say...... There are a lot of explanations, and I'm afraid I can't say it clearly in a few words on the phone......"

Quan Sheng said, "Then come to me, huh?" Say it to your face. ”

Zhou Shanben reminded: "Secretary Qi, have you forgotten again?" My home is in the Xinxu Port District. ”

Only then did Quan Sheng think about it: Zhou Shanben did not live in the servant building of the municipal party committee at all, he had been the deputy mayor for eight years, and he still lived in the dilapidated workers' dormitory in the port area back then, so he said kindly: "Okay, good, then...... Forget it then, let's talk about it tomorrow! ”

Zhou Shanben asked again: "Secretary Qi, if such a big thing happens, will we still have a summary meeting tomorrow?" Quan Sheng didn't think about it: "It's open as usual, since I, the secretary of the municipal party committee, have not been dismissed, what should I do!" ”

Zhou Shanben sighed: "Okay, I'll be on time." After a pause, he comforted him and said, "Secretary Qi, you should also relax your heart, you have made a great contribution to our Jingzhou, I think the provincial committee treats you with conscience!" ”

Quan Sheng snorted: "Don't say it, Shan Ben, I'm going to be framed this time!" With that, he silently put down the phone.

I really didn't expect that the first deputy municipal cadre who took the initiative to call to comfort him would be Zhou Shanben, and I didn't expect Zhou Shanben to say such touching words at this gloomy moment! A team has worked together for eight years, and this time they went abroad for thirteen days together, and this eccentric deputy mayor has never said anything personal to him except for his normal work. When Zhao Fenfang, Lin Yida, and Bai Keshu were dressed up with obedient smiling faces and circled around him, Zhou Shanben stayed away from him, sometimes even intentionally or unintentionally avoiding him, but now he took the initiative to call and talked about his conscience...... Does Liu Chongtian have a conscience? If you have a conscience, can you kill them all so ruthlessly? When he became the executive secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he was planning to use Jingzhou to make a big political article, what happened suddenly? What provincial committee? What Comrade Bingyi and Comrade Shiyan? The only one who has ulterior motives to make a fuss is you, Liu Chongtian! You're embarrassed to say ventilation! You have no conscience and no regard for history!

The history of their struggle in Jingzhou proves that it was Liu Chongtian who was wrong, not that he was fully prosperous, and if it were not for Comrade Chen Baichuan, then secretary of the provincial party committee, and the provincial party committee's resolute adjustment of the leading body of Jingzhou, there would be no new Jingzhou with stable development today.

Scenes and pages of history emerge in front of Quansheng.

Section 3 History

Gyeongju is a long and narrow city surrounded by mountains and seas, located at the mouth of the Cheonggye River. The urban area is divided into two large areas, one is called Jingzhou Old District and the other is called Xinwei District, and the two districts are separated by 42 kilometers. According to historical records, before the Sui and Tang dynasties, the coastline was under the ancient city of Jingzhou, and after that, the coastline continued to retreat, only to throw Jingzhou on the mainland, and only then did Jingzhou and Xinwei have their different historical existences. During the more than 300 years from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, Jingzhou and Xinwei were two independent counties that did not belong to each other, until the 50s, when the State Council adjusted its divisions, the two places were merged into one place, named Jingzhou, and became a special region. The administrative center of the prefecture has always been in Gujingzhou, and the center of gravity of construction is also in Gujingzhou, and Xinwei, located on the seafront, is just a seaport. After the reform and opening up, Jingzhou City became one of the earliest cities in the country to open to the outside world, and the key construction of Xinwei was put on the agenda. According to the national long-term development plan, the provincial party committee and the provincial government decided to increase investment and investment in Xinwei, and formulated a series of preferential policies, and the development of Xinwei area has become the biggest hot spot in the province for a while. Since then, there have been calls for the administrative center of Jingzhou City to move eastward to Xinwei inside and outside the province.

In the face of the rapidly rising coastal city of Xinwei, Jingzhou, which is located inland, is outdated, limited by the regional environment, there is not much room for development, and it seems lifeless. Chen Baichuan, then secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, noticed the discussion and voices from top to bottom, and organized experts at home and abroad to repeatedly demonstrate, made an overall plan for the future development of Jingzhou City, and decided to move the administrative center of Jingzhou City from the old city of Jingzhou to Xinwei in the east. After this decision was approved by the state and the province, Chen Baichuan waved his pen and enclosed 3,000 acres of land on the Xinwei tidal flat, preparing to build a new party and government organ in Jingzhou. Quan Sheng was the deputy secretary of the Xinwei District Party Committee at the time, and witnessed that unforgettable historical scene: Chen Baichuan led the party and government cadres of the municipal party committee, the municipal ** and various ministries, commissions and bureaus to see the site, and with a wave of his arm, he pointed to the gold coast and the undulating sea that stretched for more than ten kilometers in the east, and said this——"

…… Comrades, today we are making history, a brand new history of an ancient city. From now on, Gyeongju will face the ocean and must not retreat inland to be a landlubber. Since the good era of reform and opening up has given us this opportunity, we must firmly grasp it, and we must bravely jump into the sea to fight hard and create the glory of our generation! ”

However, Chen Baichuan and his team failed to finally create a glorious marine era, after all, reform and opening up has just begun, there are too many things to do, and there are too many places to use money, the new building of the party and government organs in Jingzhou has not been erected, and a paper order, Chen Baichuan went to the provincial capital, served as deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the provincial city party committee, and became the secretary of the provincial party committee three years later.

Later, at the Ludao State Guesthouse in the provincial capital, Chen Baichuan, who had already become the secretary of the provincial party committee, said to Quansheng, who was about to become the secretary of the Jingzhou municipal party committee, that at that time, he really didn't want to be promoted to the provincial capital, he just wanted to do something in Jingzhou, and he dreamed of building an oriental coastal metropolis. When he said this, Chen Lao was not without sentimentality. The old man never thought that the first successor he recommended after leaving office would be so uncompetitive and would make things so bad in Jingzhou.

The first successor nominated by Chen Baichuan was Bu Zhengjun, a black-faced man from Shandong, who was once a high-profile political rising star in the province, and was Chinese New Year's Eve when he became secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, the youngest municipal party secretary in the province at that time. Bu Zhengjun has the desperate spirit of Chen Lao, his mind is more emancipated than Chen Lao, and he walks around when he encounters a red light. Jingzhou has been unconventional development again in the era of Bu Zhengjun, the ten-lane expressway from Jingzhou to Xinwei has been repaired, the main body of the new building of the municipal party committee with a construction area of nearly 100,000 square meters has been erected on the Xinwei tidal flat, most of the infrastructure construction of the new office area has been completed, and the city has also built half of the city's first building, and the township enterprises and individual economy have developed greatly, and Jingzhou's economic ranking has jumped from the sixth place in the province to the second place in the province in one fell swoop, leaving the provincial capital and Pinghu, an important economic town in history, behind. But it was also in this era of Bu Zhengjun that there was a big mess in Jingzhou: counterfeit and shoddy products not only occupied the domestic market, but also rushed out of the country to the world; The other is smuggling, mainly smuggling cars.

One after another, the central government was shocked and ordered a thorough investigation and strict handling.

The era of Bu Zhengjun came to an end overnight, and the two sets of teams of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee collapsed at the same time, Bu Zhengjun and the mayor, who were responsible for leadership, were removed from their posts at the same time, and more than 50 people, including the deputy mayor in charge, the director of the customs department, the director of the public security bureau, and the responsible persons of some grass-roots units, were sentenced to prison. Bu Zhengjun, a rising political star, also fell helplessly from the brilliant starry sky, and if it wasn't for Chen Baichuan and the provincial party committee's covert protection, he might have to live in prison for a few years. Chen Baichuan had just become the secretary of the provincial party committee at that time, and after giving Bu Zhengjun the party and government discipline punishment he deserved, he arranged for Bu Zhengjun to be a researcher in the policy research office of the provincial party committee. Two years later, Bu Zhengjun died of liver cancer, and when he died, he was so poor that he was penniless, and his family was surrounded by walls. The last words left were: I'm sorry for Mr. Chen, I'm sorry for the provincial party committee. When Chen Lao learned about it, he burst into tears, and when he came back from the central meeting, he didn't return home, so he went directly to the funeral home and bowed deeply to Bu Zhengjun's body.

When he went to Jingzhou a few days later to inspect his work, Chen Lao said emotionally: Bu Zhengjun has made many mistakes and even committed crimes, but I still want to say that this comrade is not bad in nature! Our reform is exploration, and exploration cannot be without mistakes, and mistakes must be corrected and dealt with, that is to say, leaders who make wrong decisions must make personal sacrifices and must be treated correctly.

In the past war years, we buried the corpses of our comrades and marched forward on the traces of comrades' blood, and today's reform and opening up must also have this kind of fearless spirit! Comrades who are allowed to make mistakes, who are not allowed not to reform, and who want to live a peaceful life by themselves, please go away for me!

When Chen Lao lost his temper at the inspection work in Jingzhou, the economy of Jingzhou was in a short period of stagnation. Wang Ping, the successor secretary of the municipal party committee after Bu Zhengjun, passively accepted Bu Zhengjun's lesson, and was wise enough to protect himself, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault. This comrade named Wang Ping is really "flat" enough, he is stable and steady, has edges and corners, and does not need to be a cadre who dares to break through and take risks, and he has not done a single serious thing in his two years in office, and even the construction of the new Xinwei municipal office area has been stopped due to financial problems. There was zero growth in the first year of investment promotion, and there was negative growth in the next year, and the whole Jingzhou was like an eggplant orchard after being beaten by frost, filled with a dead air and bad luck.

It is precisely because of Wang Ping's exclusion that he was unable to do anything in Jingzhou, so he was able to do his work in private, and was transferred from the deputy secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee to the provincial ** secretary-general.

The issue of adjusting the Jingzhou team was promptly raised by Chen Lao to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. The Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, which decided on the history of Jingzhou, held intermittently for three days, and finally decided: Wang Ping, secretary of the municipal party committee, and the mayor were all transferred, Liu Chongtian, the mayor of Pinghu, a major economic city, was transferred to the mayor of Jingzhou, and Quansheng was transferred back to Jingzhou from the province to serve as the secretary of the Jingzhou municipal party committee.

This was on 3 February 1993, not long after Comrade Xiaoping's speech on his southern tour was published.

This is how the heyday of Gyeongju began, and it began extremely suddenly and uncoordinatedly. Before the provincial party committee made this decision, he did not have an in-depth conversation with him, and he did not know much about Liu Chongtian, who was about to join him in the team, but only met at some meetings in the province. The relationship with Chen Lao is also very weak, not only does he have no personal personal relationship, but he also has relatively little work contact. But Chen Lao actually knew him so well, saying that you are a comrade, you did a good job when you were the deputy secretary of the district party committee in Xinwei District, and Bu Zhengjun did not mention you in his past reports. You are in the prime of life, you have the kind of aggressiveness of a comrade in the regular army, you grew up in Jingzhou, and you have been working in Jingzhou for a long time, and I and the provincial party committee think that you are the most suitable candidate.

He is the right person, so is Liu Chongtian the right person? What did Liu Chongtian do when he came to Jingzhou?

What did I do in Gyeongju? Of course, I did what a mayor should do, and I did my best! Seven years after I left Jingzhou, today I still dare to pat my chest and say: I, Liu Chongtian, are worthy of the party and the eight million people of Jingzhou! You can be full of great joy, you can use the banner of Comrade Chen Baichuan, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, to cover the sky with one hand, but I Liu Chongtian can't! As a responsible mayor of a city, I, Liu Chongtian, must seek truth from facts, not only the top, but only the truth!

What was the situation in Gyeongju City in February 1993? Bu Zhengjun himself brought down himself, and his team also collapsed; the deputy mayor in charge and 51 cadres at or above the section level who were suspected of smuggling were sentenced, and six leading cadres at the city level were punished by party and government discipline and transferred from their current posts. As soon as a political earthquake caused by Bu Zhengjun passed, the aftershocks continued, Wang Ping's incompetent short-lived team dispersed again, the secretary and the mayor were both transferred, and another major earthquake began. As soon as Chen Baichuan presided over the city's party and government cadres meeting on behalf of the provincial party committee, he and Quan Sheng received reports from several responsible cadres of the municipal party committee and the city. Those cadres mentioned by Wang Ping are looking at them and testing them, to see if they are the sons of heaven and courtiers, and whether they are the world.

How does Quansheng do it? Unmistakably in the world. When I first talked to him, I said unabashedly: The cadres mentioned by Wang Ping, let them go if they want to go, and those who don't on the pit will ask him to move the nest even if they don't want to go! For the cadres who want to be able to do the work but have been squeezed out by Wang Ping, we must be promoted as soon as possible and put in appropriate posts, and there must be a new situation in Jingzhou, which is the expectation of Secretary Chen Baichuan and the provincial party committee.

Saying these grandiose and beautiful words, the old friends and subordinates in the past were all mentioned in full bloom, including Lin Yida and Bai Keshu. Liu Chongtian remembered that at a meeting of the standing committee of the city party committee a month later to discuss the issue of cadres, 82 cadres at the county and department level were appointed at once. He has been working in Pinghu and is not familiar with the situation in Jingzhou, these cadres are just names to him, they are full of sheng but very familiar, and he even signed the appointment list without even listening to the report of the head of the organization.

Later, he found out that some cadres were using the wrong ones, and the following opinions and reactions were very great, and he kindly reminded Quan Sheng privately that he should be more cautious on the issue of cadres. Quan Sheng dealt with it with his mouth, but he didn't take it seriously at all, but thought that he wanted to seize power, and told him several times tactfully: The number one cadre in charge does not start with him, nor does it start from now.

The differences on the use of cadres are often the deepest differences, and everyone knows that being a leader is to use cadres and make ideas! Cracks in the squad inevitably arose from that moment on. Next, on the issue of the construction of the new office area of the Xinwei Municipal Party Committee, contradictions broke out openly. Quansheng requires that all the construction and continuation projects of the Xinwei office area be completed within one year, and ensure that the municipal party committee, the city and its subordinate departments will all move from the old town of Jingzhou to the Xinwei office at the end of the year. Chen Baichuan, who played the banner of Quansheng, said at the party and government office meeting of the municipal party committee and the city that he would invite Secretary Chen of the provincial party committee to the new municipal party committee of Jingzhou to celebrate the New Year. How easy is that? If it was easy, wouldn't Wang Ping's team have done it a long time ago? The funding gap is as high as 5 billion, the market is in a depression, and the double blow of smuggling and shoddy products has not yet restored the economy of Jingzhou, where is he going to do these 500 million? Go steal and rob!

He put the question on the table, and the answer was easy: It's up to you, you should be the mayor to find a way!

How many ways to think of it, for these five billion, he really racked his brains. The results are disappointing, there is no good way, it is unrealistic and impossible to get 5 billion yuan in one year, and complete the overall eastward transfer of the administrative center. He was depressed and asked Quansheng to come out with a trick. Quan Sheng only said one sentence, "Walk around when you encounter a red light," and I won't say anything more. Later, I learned that Quan Sheng treated him as a political opponent at that time, guarded against him, and forced him to play illegal games.

Illegal games can't be played, red lights can't be bypassed, and the example of Bu Zhengjun is there. He had no choice but to have a showdown with Quanquan Sheng, and clearly pointed out: Our work is not for Comrade Chen Baichuan and the provincial party committee to see, we must seek truth from facts, and the most urgent task at the moment is not to complete the overall eastward shift of the administrative center, but to restore the economic vitality and vitality of Jingzhou as soon as possible, give full play to the strong advantages of the collective and private economy in Jingzhou City, and while resolutely blocking the source of counterfeiting, introduce new and foreign high and low technologies, introduce a competition mechanism, improve and perfect the market order, truly invigorate and expand the market, and let Jingzhou go to the whole country and the world in a healthy manner.

Quansheng was full of fire in his heart, but it was not easy to say it, and he said with a smile that he would say yes, and he would not mention the eastward movement of the administrative center. Unexpectedly, since then, Quanquan Sheng has rushed to the Xinwei construction site regardless of it, and almost made the Xinwei District Committee into the second municipal party committee, soaking there day and night. Bai Keshu, who was the deputy secretary of the district party committee at the time, pasted Quanquansheng on this, and he was almost inseparable from Quanquansheng. As a result, it didn't take long for the construction of the new building and ancillary buildings of the municipal party committee to resume, and I don't know where to get the money.

At the end of that year, all the organs of the municipal party committee moved to the new building, and they really received Chen Baichuan, secretary of the provincial party committee, and his party in the magnificent new building.

This makes the contradictions open to the public, and the municipal party committee works in Xinwei and the old city of Jingzhou, with a highway of 42 kilometers in between, and it is not convenient to hold a party and government office meeting to discuss a matter. Rumors spread in the province that there are two centers in Jingzhou, one centered on Quansheng, secretary of the municipal party committee, and the other centered on mayor Liu Chongtian, which is one city and two systems. To this day, Liu Chongtian still insists: This is a conspiracy by Quansheng to squeeze him away, vicious and scheming. Obviously, he is full of power and desires, and he does not care about the overall situation, but it has created the illusion that he is not in the right position, is not united, and is independent.

It's not enough to engage in this conspiracy, the conspiracy methods have also come up, and they caught his secretary Qi Universe making a big fuss about accepting stock bribes, blowing his stinky wind, with only one purpose, to squeeze him out of Jingzhou City, and the development of things later fully proved this.

Subsequently, Quansheng began to go to the provincial capital, nominally to report to Chen Baichuan and the provincial party committee, but in fact he kept suing him. The overall eastward movement of the administrative center was a plan set by Chen Baichuan when he was in office, and he did not implement it, but he did it completely, and the balance of axioms was tilted from the beginning, and the attitude of Chen Baichuan and the provincial party committee can be imagined. Quansheng seized this reason, talked about the unity of the team, and asked Chen Baichuan for absolute power, saying that without this absolute power and iron will, it would be difficult for him to open up the situation and do great things. Chen Baichuan and the provincial party committee at that time actually believed Quansheng's nonsense, and even transferred him from Jingzhou to the Provincial Metallurgical Department as the director of the department. What was he doing on the day he received the order? He is leading a group of industrial and commercial personnel to protect 12 textile wholesalers in Zhejiang in the largest knitted textile wholesale market in Jingzhou, and is working hard to reshape the image of Jingzhou's economy and Jingzhou's goods!

These 12 wholesalers from other places used low-cost and high-quality products to the bottom of Jingzhou's local knitted textiles, and dozens of textile factories and garment factories from state-owned to collective and private enterprises were forced to suspend production, and thousands of local workers lost their jobs. Angry workers surrounded these Zhejiang wholesalers, demanding that they get out of here, and demanded that Jingzhou City protect the business interests and living space of Jingzhou people. In the face of this scene of mass indignation, his answer was, it was impossible! **To protect the competition, is the advanced productive forces, at any time, under any circumstances will never protect backwardness! He shouted: "The business interests and living space of the people of Jingzhou should be fought for in the competition, and the people of Jingzhou City will never engage in local protectionism!" These words and his kind of open-minded economic thinking later became a complete and prosperous "invention" and was impressively written into the advanced experience of the "Jingzhou model", and articles were published one after another, from the "People's Daily" to the provincial newspapers and tabloids. What's even more interesting is that during the Spring Festival two years after leaving Jingzhou, Quan Sheng came to see him with a smile and brought him a few sets of Jingzhou costumes. It is said that although you Mayor Liu left, the good idea of developing the economy has persevered, and the outdated machines and outdated goods have all let us smash them one after another in the past two years, and our Jingzhou has really developed advanced productivity in the market competition!

He really wanted to scold Quansheng Yitong at that time, but he didn't scold a word, and asked the hall office to arrange a meal, and invited Quansheng to drink a bottle of Wuliangye. During the banquet, he talked about the situation of the cadres in Jingzhou, and learned that Lin Yida and Bai Keshu were going to join the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, he sneered in his heart and said that this Quansheng really seems to have absolute power, and Jingzhou is probably about to change its name to Qizhou!

The loss of absolute power of people's supervision inevitably leads to absolute corruption, and today's facts have proven this.

What makes Liu Chongtian even more unforgettable is the car accident that caused the death of his family caused by the transfer of work - seven years later, he still remembers it very clearly: he and his wife Zou Yueru received the transfer order on the same day, he went to the Provincial Metallurgical Department as the director, and Zou Yueru went to the office of the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs as the deputy director. Because the day he received the order was a Sunday, and the city's party and government cadres meeting presided over by the provincial party committee was to be held the next morning, he stayed in the position of mayor of Jingzhou for an extra day. It happened that the vendors in the needle textile wholesale market suddenly made a disturbance that day, and he rushed to deal with it when he heard the report. Just as they were about to leave, two large trucks contacted by the Municipal ** General Office to move them drove to the door of Building 14 of the Municipal Party Committee Dormitory. His son Beibei hung on his neck and didn't let him go, and his wife Zou Yueru also persuaded him not to meddle anymore. He didn't listen to it, saying that the city's party and government cadres meeting had not yet been held, and the provincial party committee's dismissal document had not yet been announced, and he was still the mayor and could not ignore this kind of thing. After that, he pulled away Beibei's delicate little hand, got into the car and walked away amid Beibei's cry. The car had started, and Zou Yueru chased after her, saying that since this was the case, let's just move in a few days. He didn't agree, and said sharply, just move today, tomorrow as soon as the city's party and government cadres conference is dispersed, I will go to the provincial capital immediately, and I won't stay in Jingzhou for a day!

This angry decision later made him regret it,—— he never thought that the moving truck would have an accident on the road from Gyeongju to the provincial capital! At that time, the highway from Jingzhou to the provincial capital had not yet been repaired, and the road condition was very bad, the truck walking in front made a sharp turn and turned into the ditch, the young driver and his son Bei Bei died on the spot, and his wife Zou Yueru was seriously injured and paralyzed, and could no longer stand up.

When the bad news came, he burst into tears and almost fainted, the blow was too heavy, it was really a broken ship and a head wind.

Because she had not yet reported to the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs, Zou Yueru was still a cadre of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and the General Office of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee held a special meeting under the personal chairmanship of Quan Sheng, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and solemnly decided: Zou Yueru should be treated for injuries sustained in the line of duty, and the administrative rank and treatment of the director of the Secrecy Bureau before the accident should remain unchanged, and she would never shirk her life, death, and burial. When Quan Sheng rushed to the provincial capital, handed him the printed document, and expressed his condolences, he said with tears in his eyes: "Old Qi, I will always remember Jingzhou!" ”

Section 4 Old Accounts

Quan Sheng knew that what Liu Chongtian remembered would never be the careful arrangement and care of Zou Yueru by Jingzhou and the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, but the setbacks he encountered in Jingzhou - political setbacks and life setbacks. Facts have proved that as soon as Liu Chongtian arrived in Jingzhou, he had different ambitions and wanted to set up another mountain. This person has been the mayor of Pinghu for four years, doesn't he know the truth of managing cadres? He is pretending to be confused, he wants to seize power, and he is not convinced. If the provincial party committee had arranged for Liu Chongtian to be the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and he had been the mayor of Jingzhou, perhaps there would not have been as many sharp and complicated contradictions as later. Of course, this is just his private speculation, and it is not easy to spread it out on any occasion or in front of anyone.

It is precisely because of the fact that Liu Chongtian's qualifications are not below him, and considering the overall situation of cooperation and work together in the future, that he has great respect for Liu Chongtian. Liu Chongtian said everywhere that he had appointed more than 80 county and department-level cadres at one time after he took office, but he never said that 18 of the 80 county-level cadres were transferred from Pinghu City and were his old subordinates, and that six Jingzhou cadres were also nominated and appointed by Liu Chongtian. Soon after, the province asked the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee to recommend two candidates for deputy mayor, and he nominated and recommended Zhao Fenfang, the female director of the Municipal Economic Commission, while Liu Chongtian nominated and recommended Zhou Shanben, a college classmate of his Metallurgical Institute. Although he didn't like Zhou Shanben, a strange person, he also knew that Zhou Shanben was very responsible and a good cadre who could work, so he pushed the boat down the river and gave Liu Chongtian a big face on the premise of not violating the principles. Tianli conscience, he really didn't have any selfish motives at that time, he just wanted to maintain the unity of the new team, work together, and make concessions in all the places that could make concessions.

What about Liu Chongtian? Isn't there any selfishness? He is selfish and deliberately troublemaker! The overall eastward movement of the administrative center was decided by Chen Baichuan, secretary of the provincial party committee, and after several years of construction by Bu Zhengjun's team, it has begun to take shape. Liu Chongtian's thoughts he saw very clearly at that time, this person just wanted to watch Chen Lao hit the board on his buttocks. What's the solution?

He had no choice but to accept Lin Yida and Bai Keshu's private advice, and took the municipal party committee to take the first step. Before doing this, he also said to Liu Chongtian: We must take into account the overall situation, not only the overall situation of the team, but also the overall situation of Jingzhou's reform and opening up. Our construction focus is in Xinwei, facing the ocean is already a reality, the new port area, bonded area, tourist resort, all on the horse, let people at home and abroad businesses and grassroots comrades for an official seal a few times a day to run the old city of Jingzhou is too much, right? At least the soft environment is not good! Liu Chongtian ignored it, and even after the municipal party committee moved into the new office area, he still threatened at the mayor's office meeting that he would not consider moving within two years, so angry that he slapped the table several times.

At this time, Liu Chongtian's secretary Qi Universe had financial problems, and in the process of planning for the listing of Blue Sky Co., Ltd., he accepted 50,000 original shares of the company. As soon as Blue Sky shares were listed, Qi Universe threw them all out, and 800,000 yuan went into his private pocket. There are more than a dozen cadres at and above the department level involved in this case, as well as leaders of relevant departments of the city, from the deputy secretary general of the city to the director of the economic commission, among which the deputy secretary general of the city and the director of the economic commission are all comrades transferred from Pinghu by Liu Chongtian. Some of them paid at the par price of one yuan per share, while others did not pay at all, and it was only after the case that they hurriedly made up for the loophole at the issue price of seven yuan per share. The case did not break out from Qi Universe, so later some people said that there was not much factual basis for him to use the Blue Sky Stock Case to rectify Liu Chongtian and Liu Chongtian's people.

The case materials are all here now, anyone who has any suspicions can go to investigate!

The facts are: when Blue Sky shares were restructured and listed, the company's senior management divided the stolen goods unevenly, and the inside story of the share delivery was revealed. A deputy general manager wrote a report letter to the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. He instructed a thorough investigation in the whistleblower letter. After a check, I found out that Liu Chongtian's secretary Qi Universe and several cadres in the ** courtyard were involved. He was taken aback, almost unable to believe that this was the case.

The cadres transferred by Qi Universe and Liu Chongtian have only been working in Jingzhou for two years, why are they so bold? Dare to stretch out your black hand to Blue Sky Company? He made a report to Liu Chongtian that night, and kindly reminded Liu Chongtian: Chongtian, you have to pay attention, comrades like the secretary must be managed well! He also kindly discussed with Liu Chongtian how to deal with this case. Liu Chongtian said with a dark face, Lao Qi, what else is there to discuss? Kill those who should be killed, catch those who should be caught, and act according to party discipline and state law! Before leaving, he said that since the case had already involved the staff around me, I asked to make a report to the provincial party committee so that the provincial party committee could conduct a strict review of me.

Liu Chongtian was determined and insisted on reporting to the provincial party committee, but he had no choice but to accompany him. As a result of the report, the provincial party committee finally made up its mind to transfer the uncooperative mayor away. Although seven years have passed, he still remembers the scene at the time of the report very clearly: it was at the Ludao State Guesthouse in the provincial capital, where Chen Laogang met the presidents of African countries and received them with a tired face.

After listening to Liu Chongtian's report and self-criticism, Chen Lao said to Liu Chongtian with a smile, I have heard about the situation of the Blue Sky stock case, and it has nothing to do with you! However, this kind of thing is always bad, so my personal opinion is to change the working environment! Liu Chongtian seemed to have expected to leave Jingzhou for a long time, so he didn't say much. Old Chen's face pulled, but he scolded him, Quansheng, Comrade Chongtian has been self-criticizing for a long time, why didn't I hear you say a word? Aren't you responsible for the Blue Sky stock matter? I'm telling you, you have to remember: as the number one, any problem in Jingzhou is your responsibility, and the first board has to hit you! Then he warned that you should summarize and promote the good ideas of the economy in the future, and if Jingzhou is not good in the future, the provincial party committee will only ask!

This is Mr. Chen, the true and respectable Mr. Chen, who is fair and decent, and pays great attention to his working methods. That night, Chen Lao invited him and Liu Chongtian to his house for a light meal, and the atmosphere was as harmonious as a family. The old man was not in good health and had stopped drinking liquor for a long time, but that day he made an exception and drank three glasses with Liu Chongtian, and said to Liu Chongtian seriously, Chongtian, employing people is an art, putting a person in the right position, this person may be a piece of gold, and if it is placed in an inappropriate position, gold will also turn into stone. You are studying metallurgy, my personal opinion, or go to the Provincial Metallurgical Department, riveting there to shine well, ah! What about your wife Xiao Zou, I will arrange it, in addition to the Metallurgical Department, the provincial departments and bureaus are at your disposal...... Liu Chongtian thought about it for a few days, and picked a civil affairs department for his wife Zou Yueru, as if he was going to be the deputy director of the department's office.

Speaking of conscience, the conflict with Liu Chongtian has come to this point, and he still maintains a good impression of Zou Yueru. Zou Yueru is gentle and kind, smiling all day long, and the director of the secrecy bureau of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee is very competent. The contradiction between the municipal party committee and the two compounds is so acute, this director of the secrecy bureau never speaks, and the separation between official and private affairs is very clear. Liu Chongtian served as mayor of Jingzhou for two years, and the Secrecy Bureau under the leadership of Zou Yueru was rated as an advanced unit of spiritual civilization by the municipal party committee for two years. Therefore, when he learned that Zou Yueru had a car accident, his shock and grief were real, and he did not have any hypocrisy, and then went to visit Zou Yueru during the Spring Festival every year, and made an exception to give Zou Yueru all kinds of care.

However, Liu Chongtian was stubborn, and apparently recorded the frustrations in his life on his head. I haven't been to Jingzhou for seven years, I have received a salary for Zou Yueru and a medical expense, all of which were sent by the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee. The special care fee issued by the office to Zou Yueru was all returned by Liu Chongtian. Every time he went to the provincial capital to visit Zou Yueru, he always had to face Liu Chongtian's gloomy long face. He repeatedly forgave Liu Chongtian, knowing that Liu Chongtian was not in good shape when he went to the Metallurgical Hall, and it was unlikely that he would shine in the Metallurgical Hall as Chen Lao requested...... Glowing? It's a big joke, there is no light and heat on him except cold air! Yes, he studied metallurgy and graduated from the Provincial Institute of Metallurgy. But what kind of life is that? When he was in college, he was the secretary of the Youth League Committee and the president of the student union, and after graduation, he was assigned to the provincial Youth League Committee, and he never did a day of professional work. After coming down from the Provincial Youth League Committee, he went to Pinghu City, and worked step by step from the deputy county magistrate to the deputy secretary of the Pinghu Municipal Party Committee, the mayor of Pinghu, and the mayor of Jingzhou. When people reach middle age, they turn out to be professionally matched, isn't this deliberately manipulating you? What's more, after the transfer, the family encountered such an unexpected catastrophe! This provincial party secretary is too protective of everything!

Objectively speaking, Quansheng has come to this point, and there is such a large-scale corruption in Jingzhou, and this old provincial party secretary who was later transferred to Beijing bears unshirkable responsibility. If he hadn't been transferred from Jingzhou to the Provincial Metallurgical Department, if the power in Quan Sheng's hands had been supervised and restricted by some force, Lin Yida and Bai Keshu would not have been able to enter the Standing Committee, and Quan Sheng's wife and daughter would not have fallen so deep, of course, his lovely son Bei Bei would not have died, and his wife Zou Yueru would not have been paralyzed in bed forever.

Beibei's tragic death hit his wife Zou Yueru too hard, two or three years after the beginning, Zou Yueru was often in a state of insanity, calling Beibei in her dreams, waking up and calling Beibei, washing her face with tears all day long, unable to help herself. Faced with such a mother who was paralyzed in bed and lost her son, his heart was dripping blood, how could he go to Jingzhou and Quansheng to fight that kind of boring politics haha?

Jingzhou has become an eternal pain in his heart!

Yes, out of guilt in his conscience, he made up for the director of the secret bureau under his leadership as much as possible, and did everything he could, facing him and Zou Yueru's cold faces, it can even be said that he endured humiliation. However, if he doesn't receive this love, he will never receive this love! Although this tragic result was not directly caused by Quan Sheng, he still couldn't forgive Quan Sheng!

Retribution is finally coming, it's really interesting, seven years ago, Quansheng made a fuss about the blue sky stock case, which made him leave Jingzhou, and seven years later, it was the Blue Sky Group corruption case that defeated Quansheng. Is this the arrangement of fate in the dark? He didn't know.

He only knew that his visit to Jingzhou was the instruction of the leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the decision of the provincial party committee. When it was decided that he should be in charge of the investigation and handling of the Jingzhou case, he frankly reported his historical relationship with Jingzhou and Jingzhou to Zheng Bingyi, secretary of the provincial party committee, and Li Shiyan, member of the standing committee of the provincial party committee and secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, and asked the provincial party committee and Comrade Bingyi to carefully consider: Is it appropriate for him to specifically preside over the investigation and handling of the Jingzhou Lantian Group corruption case? Comrade Bingyi believed that there was nothing inappropriate and made two basic viewpoints: First, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Party Committee both believe that you, a comrade, are decent and loyal, and will not deviate from the spirit of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Party Committee and do something else; Second, it is precisely because you have worked in Jingzhou in the past and have a certain degree of understanding of the situation of the cadre team in Jingzhou that it is more conducive to work.

Of course, Comrade Bingyi also pointed out: Quansheng should not have any absolute power, and you, Liu Chongtian, do not have such absolute power, and the investigation and handling of the Jingzhou case must be carried out under the direct leadership of the provincial party committee, especially when it comes to issues involving Quansheng, we must be cautious.

It should be said that Comrade Bingyi was his great benefactor who brought the dead back to life politically.

After four years in the Provincial Metallurgical Department, Chen Baichuan was finally transferred by the Central Committee to Beijing to take up his post, and Comrade Bingyi was transferred from a remote province in the northwest to this province to serve as secretary of the provincial party committee. Soon after Comrade Bingyi took office, the Southern Iron and Steel Group under the Provincial Metallurgical Department had a major corruption case, involving the only son of the provincial governor, and the pressure on all sides was extremely great, and the case could hardly be investigated. Others were not afraid of crooked shadows, and took the initiative to report to Comrade Bingyi, demanding that the case be investigated to the end. The case was investigated for nearly a year, and finally one was sentenced to a suspended death sentence, two life sentences, and the governor's only son was also sentenced to ten years in prison.

Some people say that he engaged in political speculation and sold the honest and honest governor to offer a generous gift to Zheng Bingyi, the new secretary of the provincial party committee.

For a while, he felt extremely painful in his heart: Why is it so difficult to be an official? If you don't check it, it's a problem, and if you check it, it's a problem!

Comrade Bingyi supported him at this most difficult time, and said at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, a cadre like Liu Chongtian, I think he is a black-faced Bao Gong, why is it placed in the Metallurgical Hall? Put it in the wrong place, don't use people properly! The fight against corruption and the promotion of clean government is a matter of great importance and arduous tasks, and it is necessary to stress principles in this way and strengthen it with good comrades with party spirit! Comrade Bingyi's remarks aroused great attention from the Standing Committee members, who unanimously agreed with Comrade Bingyi's views, and he changed his career again and was transferred from the Metallurgical Department to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection as deputy secretary. Today, three years later, he has become the executive deputy secretary who presides over the daily work of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The Blue Sky Group corruption case happened less than a month after he became the executive deputy secretary, and it was not something he deliberately tried to catch, but an automatic explosion at regular intervals. Two valuable reporting materials were transferred by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, one involved Lin Yida and Bai Keshu, and the other involved Quansheng's wife Gao Yaju. Seeing the material about Gao Yaju, he couldn't help but think of the reminder that Quansheng reminded him back then, and suddenly felt very funny: he didn't take care of his secretary Qi Yuyu back then,—— not that he didn't manage it, but he couldn't manage it lawfully, allowing this duplicitous young man to take advantage of the loophole. It's good today, Quansheng didn't care about his wife who slept in the same bed with him! Did Quan Sheng say something to him back then? Did you remind him of himself when you reminded him? I'm afraid not, right? This comrade is so emotionally strong that he instinctively dislikes supervision, it is not strange if something happens, it is strange if something happens!

Let's just talk about Lin Yida, in 1993, it was not normal for those more than 80 cadres to be promoted, and not long after he was promoted, he heard the following strong reaction, saying that Lin Yida was the number one sycophant in the municipal party committee, and compared with his official ranks, he was very humble and had no principles at all. From Chen Baichuan, Bu Zhengjun to Wang Ping, the three teams have never used this person, and he has been the deputy director of the third department of the secretary of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee for more than ten years. As soon as Quan Sheng came to power, he somehow boldly opened it and was suddenly promoted to deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee. Later, I realized that the reason why Quan Sheng used Lin Yida was actually very simple, that is, this person was both obedient and able to speak, Lin Yida was two years older than Quan Sheng, serving Quan Sheng was like serving his old father, and he was like a good cat in front of Quan Sheng.

There is one thing that impresses him deeply: it seems that not long after the municipal party committee moved to Xinwei, the economic problems of the secretary Qi Universe have not yet been revealed, Lin Yida coordinates the work here, and Qi Universe ridicules Lin Yida in person as a "teacher" who is complete. Lin Yida was anxious when he heard this, and asked Xiao Qi not to talk nonsense, Secretary Qi and Mayor Liu were leaders, and he only had to learn from behind, how dare he be anyone's teacher! Xiao Qi only then revealed the bottom of the story, and the Tao is that this "guy" is not his "teacher", but the "guy" in the novel "Water Margin" is also. He "fluttered" and laughed, straight in his heart, accurate, accurate! Unexpectedly, Lin Yida also smiled, laughing very naturally, with a certain sense of relief, and said again and again, that's good, that's good! Xiao Qi, you are really imaginative, and you have summed up the work of our secretary so vividly! I am an old guy, you are a small guy, we are all cadres at the same level, that is, like those "division-level" cadres in the small team, we must work hard to serve the leaders, do you say yes, Mayor Liu!

This kind of spineless and shameless person, not to mention party spirit, does not even have the least personality, and today he has become a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee of Jingzhou, a big economic city, and has accepted bribes of 600,000 yuan by extremely bad means! Lin Yida's 600,000 yuan is not easy to come by, the cigarettes and alcohol sent by others are sold, the electrical appliances sent by others are sold, the asset restructuring of the Blue Sky Group has nothing to do with him, and he often runs to "care", and the backlog of water dispensers in the Blue Sky Group Service Company has been taken away dozens of units, worth nearly 20,000 yuan, and it is said to be a gift, but all of them were sent to the haberdashery store opened by his wife and sold at a reduced price. Let your wife open a store, ** The stolen gifts you received are also a must. This kind of person not only damages the image of the party and the **, but also damages your image of completeness! You have a lot of problems and problems, but one thing is not bad, that is, you have a personality, you are very tough, I believe that you are a good man when you fall!

Executive Vice Mayor Bai Keshu is a good man, nine years ago when he was the deputy mayor of the old town of Jingzhou, he was nicknamed "Bai Richuang". "Daytime" is a word used during the "Strike Hard" campaign, which means door-to-door robbery during the day. When used on Bai Keshu, it is a metaphor for this person's audacity. When Bu Zhengjun was the secretary of the municipal party committee to "boldly emancipate his mind," he had all his share in the fraud and smuggling, and if he was seriously investigated, he would have to be removed from his post if he was not sentenced to a few years. Quan Sheng Bi fell in love with this bold guy, and he also justified Bai Keshu's name in public, saying that it was so bad that it was Bai Richuang? Yes? The sky is white, the sun is shining, you have to break if you should break in, you have to take the risk! Mistakes are allowed, no reforms are allowed! Bai Keshu came up in the name of "courage to reform", first as the executive deputy head of Jingzhou District, and later as the deputy secretary, secretary, and deputy mayor of Xinwei District, and then as the executive deputy mayor and entered the Standing Committee. It is said that Quansheng wants to train Bai Keshu as a successor, if it wasn't for this case, maybe Bai Keshu would have been the mayor and secretary of the municipal party committee.

The earliest reporting materials of the Jingzhou corruption case were mainly aimed at Bai Keshu, and it was revealed that Bai Keshu was bold and took bribes as much as 2 million at one time. What is even more serious is that the corrupt elements within the Blue Sky Group have embezzled 230 million yuan from the Blue Sky Technology Co., Ltd., hollowed out this famous listed company, and pushed the company to a dead end. The materials received by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection are even more shocking, and they were exposed by Tian Jian, the general manager: Bai Keshu used the embezzled money to gamble in Baishan and lost more than 20 million yuan in three years! The evidence of the reporting materials is conclusive, and there are copies of foreign exchange transfer documents of various names, and I don't know how this Tian Jian got it from abroad. It is in this situation that Bai Keshu is still in the limelight on TV, and he keeps saying that he wants to give preferential policies to carry out substantial asset restructuring of Blue Sky Technology, which is mainly engaged in the production of in-car audio equipment, so that Blue Sky Technology, which is full of holes and has become insolvent, was once fried to a high level of more than 30 yuan in the Shanghai market.

If these circumstances are true, Qi Xiaoyan, who is the chairman and general manager of Blue Sky Group, can hardly escape the blame. No matter how bold Bai Keshu is and how powerful he is, it is impossible to surpass her, the leader of the group, to take away so much money in such a long period of time, and squander more than 20 million yuan in Macau casinos, not to mention that Qi Xiaoyan is Quansheng's daughter. What is the relationship between Bai Keshu and Qi Xiaoyan? Thinking about it deeply, the problem is even more complicated: As the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, does Quan Sheng really not know all this?

If you really don't know, why are you so concerned about the asset restructuring of Blue Sky Technology? Even Tian Jian, the general manager of Blue Sky Technology, personally gave instructions!

What's even more strange is that her daughter Qi Xiaoyan arrested Tian Jian through Zhao Fenfang, the female mayor who temporarily presided over the work!

What role does Zhao Fenfang play in this? What is the relationship between her and Quan Sheng and Qi Xiaoyan?

Why did Qi Xiaoyan escape? Why run away? Is it to evade personal responsibility, or to cover up a huge conspiracy?
