When Qin Huaiyuan and Chen Molei arrived at the city government, Mayor Wei Congbing's secretary had already calculated the time and greeted them at the door of the hall.

The secretary said that Mayor Wei received a call from Dean Qin and deliberately postponed the original activity, leaving a whole afternoon for the two.

After entering the door, the three of them exchanged a few words of greeting and got to the point.

Qin Huaiyuan presented the detention approval procedures to Wei Congbing with both hands: "Mayor Wei, take a look, this is Tan Wenming's detention procedures, and there are facts and evidence of Tan Wenming's violation of the law. ”

Wei Congbing finished reading the detention formalities and put it to the side: "Comrade Huaiyuan, Comrade Murray, you tell me the truth." Is your detention of Tan Wenming just a prelude? Next, will criminal proceedings be initiated? ”

Qin Huaiyuan nodded: "Mayor Wei, I won't tell you that Tan Wenming helped Liao Wenchang hide his property, the amount is huge, and he is already suspected of the joint crime of refusing to execute." According to the law, criminal proceedings should be initiated. ”

Wei Congbing took a sip of the teacup, and said with something in his words: "Violations and crimes should be punished by law, I understand this, now is a society under the rule of law." But now that the situation is special, can this matter be postponed for a while? ”

Qin Huaiyuan said with a smile: "Mayor Wei, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, you just said it, now is a rule of law society......"

Wei Congbing waved his hand and interrupted Qin Huaiyuan's speech: "Comrade Huaiyuan, please listen to me first." ”

He stood up, pacing back and forth, and said: "The development situation of Dongzhou over the years, you don't need to say that you also know, especially in the economic aspect, has always been unsatisfactory, so the work of attracting investment has always been the top priority of Dongzhou.

Two years ago, I personally came forward to recruit Tan Wenming to our Dongzhou, and I and the municipal government had high hopes for his Jinshi Group, and we also gave great inclination and support in policy.

For this reason, there was some gossip in the society, saying that Tan Wenming and I were too close, and even suspected that we had the power to trade for money. But I don't care, I'm not afraid of shadows.

My principle is that as long as it is beneficial to the development of Dongzhou, I will firmly support it. So, my attitude on this matter has never changed.

Fortunately, Tan Wenming's Jinshi Group did not disappoint me and the municipal government, not only adding nearly 1 billion yuan of output value to Dongzhou every year, but also solving the problem of a large number of jobs. In this sense, Tan Wenming has made a great contribution to the development of Dongzhou.

You say, if something happens to such a big God of Wealth, can I, as the mayor, ignore it? Can you watch him divest from the Eastern State? If I have this attitude, then how can I go out to attract investment in the future? What will the target of the investment attraction think of me? What will you think of the Dongzhou municipal government? What do you think of the investment environment in Dongzhou? ”

Qin Huaiyuan sighed and said helplessly: "Mayor Wei, I know that you have your considerations and your difficulties. However, it is really difficult for us to ask for such a request. It is our duty to crack down on violations and crimes in accordance with the law, not to mention that the crime of refusal to enforce the law is still the focus of the crackdown......"

Wei Congbing waved his hand and interrupted Qin Huaiyuan again: "Comrade Huaiyuan, you don't have to rush to prevaricate me with these words. Although I am not a student of law, I still know a little about the crime of refusal.

The crime of refusal to execute is different from other crimes, in general, the court first discovers the suspect's criminal conduct, grasps the preliminary evidence, and then transfers the case to the public security organ for filing and investigation, and then the procuratorate prosecutes and the court tries it. That is, in general, the criminal proceedings for the crime of refusal are actually initiated by the court first.

So, as long as you don't initiate, the case won't go to criminal proceedings. Since the right to initiate is in your hands and you have the final say, can't you think about it and not initiate criminal proceedings for the time being?

That's right, Tan Wenming originally used some improper means, but wasn't that because Jinshi Group encountered financial difficulties. Now that the financial difficulties have passed, I think that with this lesson, he will not make such mistakes again in the future. ”

He stopped in front of Qin Huaiyuan and Chen Molei, and then said, "As for the 9 creditor companies, you don't have to worry. As long as the money is in hand, I think, as for whether Tan Wenming is held legally responsible, they will not hold on to it, and it is a big deal to accompany them with more money. In business, they don't have to deal with money. ”

Qin Huaiyuan and Chen Molei looked at each other, and it could be seen from Wei Congbing's tone and attitude that the young mayor's decision might be difficult to change.

Wei Congbing saw that the two of them were silent like a stuffy gourd, and said, "Don't be stunned, if you have anything to say, you can speak freely with me." ”

"Mayor Wei, with all due respect, you are a policy of appeasement! It's connivance with crime! Chen Molei couldn't hold it back, and in front of Wei Congbing, he said bluntly:

"The amount of Tan Wenming's suspected refusal to execute is so large, and the circumstances are so serious, you still speak for him and indulge him so much. If you insist on this attitude, it will only make Tan Wenming more emboldened and even more aggressive, is this the result you want to see......"

"Comrade Murray, don't say it so ugly!" Before Chen Molei finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Congbing's sharp voice: "Let me remind you, I am not conniving at Tan Wenming's crimes, but considering the overall situation of Dongzhou's economic development!" ”

Perhaps realizing that he was too impulsive just now, Wei Congbing deliberately lowered his voice: "Do you really think that I am willing to open this mouth for Tan Wenming?" No! I was forced to do this! ”

He sighed and said with a melancholy face, "Now that I've said that, I might as well tell you." Just before you walked in the door, Tan Wenming called me again. He said he had informed the Group Office of the preparation of the divestment plan, which would be worked out shortly.

If he waits until tomorrow and he does not wait for a satisfactory result, the divestment plan will be launched immediately; On the contrary, if he can be safe this time, not only will he not withdraw his investment, but will also add 300 million yuan on the basis of 500 million yuan as a special fund for the development of Yushan Town's tourism industry. ”

When it came to the development of Yushan, Wei Congbing began to gush: "You may know that Yushan is a poor township, but do you know how poor Yushan is? The GDP of Yushan Town is less than half or even a third of that of other townships, and some villages do not even have hardened roads.

In the past two years, the city has been trying to develop the tourism industry of Yushan, and drive the overall economic development of Yushan through tourism, but because of the thin foundation of Yushan and the poor terrain and geological conditions, investment has always been the biggest problem that plagues the development of Yushan.

Now, if there is Tan Wenming's 300 million, the first phase of the Yushan tourism project will be able to start next year, if the progress is fast, the second half of next year will be able to see the initial benefits, then there will be 18 villages more than 6,000 villagers benefit, that will be a big people's livelihood report card! Have you thought about it? ”

He sighed, and then said: "It is true that we have different division of labor and different responsibilities, but everything we do is not for the development of Dongzhou and the people of Dongzhou."

Since we have the same ultimate goal, and since we have such a rare opportunity, why can't we make a compromise and make a little concession? Can't you still settle this account? ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "Of course, Tan Wenming's problems exist objectively, and I don't deny this. I will have a good talk with him when I find time, explain the rights and wrongs of this to him, and tell him not to go down crooked paths in the future and not to make such mistakes again.

The law should pay attention to punishing evil and promoting good, but it should also pay attention to curing diseases and saving people. There is a good saying, if you know your mistakes and can correct them, you are still a good comrade. ”

Chen Molei was very dissatisfied with Wei Congbing's reasoning: "Mayor Wei, this is not a question of compromise or concession, but a matter of principle. If, as you said, you take special care of Tan Wenming and open up your side, it is against the principles and the law. ”

"Comrade Murray, what do you mean by that?" Hearing this, Wei Congbing's emotions that had just eased broke out again: "Are you saying that I violated principles and laws?" Or do you suspect that I have received the benefits of Tan Wenming?

Let me tell you, I dare to guarantee with my party spirit and personality that I have confiscated a penny from him Tan Wenming. The reason why I did this was completely out of public interest and for the overall consideration of Dongzhou's economic development. At this point, I have a clear conscience at all times! ”

Qin Huaiyuan was afraid that Chen Molei would rob him of his role and ruin his plans, so he immediately snatched the words and said very seriously: "Mayor Wei, in fact, Comrade Molei's opinion is also my opinion. I understand your thoughts and your eagerness to develop the economy, but we cannot compromise on the issue of impartial law enforcement.

The law is the line of defense to maintain fairness and justice, if we do not abide by the law and break through this line of defense ourselves, then how can we talk about maintaining social fairness and justice? ”

Qin Huaiyuan's words were heavier than Chen Molei's, and under the stimulation of this language, Wei Congbing's spearhead immediately turned to Qin Huaiyuan: "Comrade Huaiyuan, please don't misinterpret what I mean!" Did I say that we must not abide by the law and break through the line of defense? Didn't I just say that I will talk to Tan Wenming and let him deeply understand and reflect on his mistakes.

In addition, you can admonish, warn, and fine him, which can be severely punished or even punished at the highest level. I don't have an opinion on this, how can this be said to be a law that is not followed, breaking through the line of defense? I can't afford to wear this hat! ”

Maybe it was because he was in a hurry, Qin Huaiyuan's tone suddenly changed unusually, and he became-for-tat: "Mayor Wei, I don't dare agree with your opinion.

The primary value of the law is fairness, what is fairness? Fairness means that everyone is equal before the law, and no one is treated differently because of their identity, wealth and contributions, or even special treatment, especially on the issue of breaking the law and committing crimes.

If, for some reason or for some reason, individual personnel are treated lightly, it is not only not fair, but will have the opposite effect. Because this is actually tantamount to indulging a small number of people to break the law and commit crimes in disguise, and making the violation of crimes a privilege of a few people in disguise. In the long run, this will only undermine the foundations of the rule of law and lead to social regression.

Therefore, on the issue of judicial impartiality, especially in the treatment of a minority like Tan Wenming, we dare not be ambiguous and cannot be ambiguous. In this regard, please also ask Mayor Wei for his understanding and support. ”

"Comrade Huaiyuan, your words are a bit alarmist." Wei Congbing did not show weakness, and also went toe-for-tat with Qin Huaiyuan: "Just such a thing, a case, are you so on the line?"

Could it be that this one incident or one case can damage the foundation of the rule of law and lead to social regression? If you say so, will I not be a sinner for the ages? Should I be dragged out and shot? ”

Qin Huaiyuan did not shy away from Wei Cong's cold eyes: "Mayor Wei, it is true that one case is not enough to lead to such serious consequences.

But have you ever thought about it, once this opening is opened today, if in the future, another cadre of the same level or even higher level will come to us, and then put forward the same or even more sufficient reasons. At that time, should our openings be open, or should we not be opened? ”

Wei Congbing was suddenly speechless, he talked endlessly on weekdays, and no one had ever contradicted him. But today, he was forced back by Qin Huaiyuan so face-to-face, and he couldn't say anything in his heart.

Looking at each other, the air in the office seemed to condense.

At this moment, Wei Congbing seemed to understand Qin Huaiyuan in an instant: the president of the Dongzhou Court in front of him seemed to be easy to talk and like a moderate, but on matters of principle, he would never compromise and would not take a step.

The confrontation lasted for just a dozen seconds, but it was even more like a silent duel.

The defeated Wei Congbing's tone finally weakened, and he said in a consultative tone: "Comrade Huaiyuan, what ...... Can this be postponed for a moment? Can you wait for the completion of the project that Tan Wenming promised to invest in Yushan, and then pursue his legal responsibility? At least when the investment of the Goldstone Group is in place, it will be fine. ”

Qin Huaiyuan sighed: "I'm sorry, Mayor Wei, this matter ......"

"No, no, no, no......" Probably afraid of hearing the voice of rejection on the spot, before Qin Huaiyuan finished speaking, Wei Congbing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You don't have to answer me in a hurry, you can go back and think about it first, and then give me an answer when you think about it." I'll have a little meeting soon, so I won't keep you, so please go back first. After saying that, he called the secretary to come in and see off the guests.
