Li Xuzhong heard Ma Yuanchi say that he wanted to release Xia Ying and Huang Chong quickly, and hurriedly responded: "Okay, I will follow your instructions, and I will immediately lift Xia Ying and Huang Chong's confinement." ”

Ma Yuanchi said "um", and said: "After you lift their confinement, you must immediately go to Luo Guichang, secretary of the county party committee, and ask him to help you, and find Secretary Zhou to intercede for you." In addition, Luo Guichang has a very good relationship with Mayor Haiping, you can ask him to ask Mayor Haiping for help, as long as Mayor Haiping agrees to help you, there is basically no big problem. ”

Li Xuzhong asked a little weakly: "Mayor Ma, if Secretary Zhou is really determined to investigate and punish me, is it useful for Secretary Luo and Mayor Li to intercede?" Will Secretary Zhou give them face? ”

Ma Yuanchi said a little impatiently: "You have also been in officialdom for decades, and now you are about to retire, why don't you have any basic analysis and judgment ability?" Think about it, how long has Secretary Zhou been in Chuzhong? Less than three months! He was a newcomer and had no foundation in Chuzhong, and Mayor Haiping had been in Chuzhong for three or four years. If Secretary Zhou wants to gain a firm foothold in Chuzhong, he must have a good relationship with Mayor Haiping, and he must also buy him some face.

What's more, Luo Guichang is also a relatively strong and powerful role in the county and city leaders, and he also has connections and backstage in the leadership of the provincial party committee. As the saying goes, a strong dragon doesn't crush the head snake! For Secretary Zhou, Mayor Haiping and Luo Guichang are the head snakes, and he will not be offended easily. As long as the two of them are willing to protect you to the death, you won't have much to do, at most you will be punished with a small punishment. ”

When Li Xuzhong heard this, his nervous and panicked mood finally eased a little, and he hurriedly thanked Ma Yuanchi.

Immediately after hanging up the phone, he convened an emergency party committee meeting to propose that the confinement measures for Xia Ying and Huang Chong be lifted. After the proposal was passed, he personally led several members of the party committee to the confinement room to announce the decision to lift the confinement to Xia Ying and Huang Chong, and solemnly apologized to the two of them.

After dealing with the problem of Xia Ying and Huang Chong, Li Xuzhong immediately called Luo Guichang's phone again, and worriedly told him about Secretary Zhou's investigation, and begged him to help him get through this difficulty, and Luo Guichang agreed......

The next morning, in accordance with Zhou Chengjie's instructions, the Chuzhong City Public Security Bureau set up an investigation team and rushed to Qingyuan County to investigate the detention of Xia Ying and Huang Chong and Li Xuzhong's suspected violation of discipline. Over the course of one day, the investigation team talked to many people, including Xia Ying and Huang Chong, the people's police and auxiliary police who participated in the gambling arrest that night, the person in charge of the Rongxi Hotel, some security guards who participated in the siege of the police, all the members of the leading team of the county public security bureau except Li Xuzhong, and some middle-level leaders......

After Xia Ying came out of the investigation team's questioning, she immediately dialed Xiao Fei's phone and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Xiaozi, after I was locked up yesterday, did you tell Zhou Chengjie about me?" ”

Xiao Fei replied calmly: "That's right, yesterday when I learned from Director Zhou that you and Captain Huang were confined, I was very angry, so I made a phone call to Secretary Zhou and asked him to administer justice for you." ”

Xia Ying said angrily: "Preside over the justice of a fart!" Since he wanted to send an investigation team to investigate and deal with this problem, why didn't he arrange for someone from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to come down? The current investigation team was sent by the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and they sat on Li Xuzhong's side, how could they uphold justice for me! Is he old and confused? ”

Xiao Fei asked in surprise: "Why do you say that the investigation team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau will not uphold justice for you?" Since your city bureau has set up an investigation team so quickly, it must have been ordered by Secretary Zhou to do so, if you don't give you justice, how can the leaders of the city public security bureau give instructions to Secretary Zhou? ”

Xia Ying said stupidly: "You know a fart!" The leader of the investigation team this time is Liang Lunshu, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the deputy leader is Li Liang, the head of the inspector detachment of the Municipal Bureau. ”

Xiao Fei persuaded: "Sister Ying, don't think so badly of the leaders, especially don't blame Secretary Zhou." I heard Secretary Zhou say that you and Captain Huang were released from confinement yesterday afternoon, and Li Xuzhong apologized to you in front of many people, this is the result of Secretary Zhou's intervention, right? ”

"Right for what? Li Hongbin and his people gathered to gamble, and the Rongxi Hotel gathered people to violently attack the police, which is a serious illegal and criminal act, but Li Xuzhong released them for personal gain, while Huang Chong and I were imprisoned. My appeal is not to get out of the confinement room, but to ask my superiors to arrest Li Xuzhong, a corrupt element, and to bring those lawless criminals of the Rongxi Hotel to justice. If these two things are not achieved, I would rather go to the confinement room for another week, but I will see if it is the world of the corrupt or the people! ”

Xiao Fei became more and more angry when he heard her talk, and hurriedly said, "Sister Ying, you dissipate your anger first." Li Xuzhong, Liu Zhiqing, Li Hongbin and others are full of evil, and sooner or later they will fall into the legal net. But now the situation is more complicated, we can't be too impatient, you can't ask Secretary Zhou to directly order these people to be arrested, right? You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, some things are not done overnight, you need to boil the frog in warm water and take it slowly, okay? ”

Xia Ying listened to him like a child to let herself not be anxious, funny and angry, spat him on the phone, thought about it and said, "Didn't you ask me the day before yesterday if I would go to Zhou Chengjie's house to play?" I didn't want to see him again, but now that this is the case, I have to go and meet him and ask him if he is dealing with Li Xuzhong, a big corrupt person. ”

When Xiao Fei heard her say that she was willing to go to Secretary Zhou's house to see him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, you should indeed go to meet Secretary Zhou, tell him about this incident in person, and you can also tell him about Li Xuzhong's various bad deeds, and let him arrange for the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to severely investigate and punish Li Xuzhong." ”

At half past ten on Saturday morning, Xiao Fei took Xia Ying, Fu Huafeng, Xie Benzhu, Zhou Changming and other four people to Zhou Chengjie's house. Because Zhou Chengjie repeatedly explained to Xiao Fei, Fu Huafeng and the others did not bring gifts, and they all came to the door empty-handed.

Zhou Chengjie lives in an old three-bedroom house in the family courtyard of the municipal party committee, because his wife works in the provincial capital and his son is studying for a doctorate, so now he lives alone.

Zhou Chengjie stood at the door to greet them, smiling and shaking hands with everyone who came in to say hello. Xia Ying walked last, and Zhou Chengjie also stretched out his hand to shake hands with her as usual, but Xia Ying twisted her head to the side with a cold face and didn't reach out to shake him. Zhou Chengjie had no choice but to smile wryly and shake his head and retract his hand.

Fortunately, this scene was not seen by Fu Huafeng, Xie Benzhu and Zhou Changming, only Xiao Fei stood facing the door, and saw with his own eyes Xia Ying's refusal to shake hands with Zhou Chengjie, and he was even more puzzled......
