The house that Ye Ming bought in the provincial capital is in the "Jinsha Mingyuan" community two kilometers east of the provincial party committee compound, and the "Sanyou Express Hotel" is about two kilometers west of the provincial party committee compound. Therefore, Ye Ming took a taxi to catch up.
When going to the hotel, we have to pass by the provincial party committee compound on the way.
When the taxi passed the gate of the Provincial Party Committee compound, Ye Ming asked the taxi driver to slow down, and then looked out through the window. He couldn't help but be shocked: he saw a large group of police officers who had rounded up more than a dozen petitioners.
Surrounded by police, a tall man whom he was very familiar with stood at the very end of the police circle and was sternly scolding the petitioners.
This tall man is Qi Tong, the former director of the Daxing Development Zone Public Security Bureau, now the deputy director of the M City Public Security Bureau and the director of the Yuhe District Public Security Bureau.
Four years ago, when Ye Ming was studying at the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, he had a serious conflict with Yan Changgeng, the deputy director of the Daxing Development Zone who was also studying at the party school at the time. Later, Ye Ming designed to bring down Yan Changgeng, and the then director of the Daxing District Public Security Bureau
Qi Tong was the main participant in Ye Ming's plan.
From then on, Qi Tong, who knew Ye Ming's background well, began to try his best to curry favor with him and get close to him. He often invited Ye Ming to the Development Zone Public Security Bureau for "inspections", or called him to invite him to tea, wine or singing. Ye Ming
Ming did not dare to neglect a powerful person like him, and invited him back from time to time, or took him to meet with leaders such as Guo Guangwei, Qing Tao, Qiu Wangxi, etc. The relationship between the two became increasingly close.
In July last year, with Ye Ming's strong recommendation and Guo Guangwei's personal nomination, Qing Tao arranged for an inspection by the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department and successfully promoted Qitong to Deputy Director of the M City Public Security Bureau and Director of the Yuhe District Public Security Bureau.
Because Yuhe District is the seat of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government and has a particularly important status, the director of the district public security bureau is concurrently served by the deputy director of the municipal public security bureau. Qitong is very satisfied with this appointment decision and is very grateful to the director who played a key role in his promotion.
Ye Ming was also extremely grateful.
After Chen Mengqi was arrested by the M City Public Security Bureau, Ye Ming originally wanted to find Qi Tong and ask him to help speak for Chen Mengqi, but after thinking about it carefully, Qi Tong's current work focus was at the Yuhe District Public Security Bureau, and at the Municipal Public Security Bureau
He only has the title of deputy director, and he was promoted less than a year ago
, I guess it won’t be of much help. What’s more, Chen Mengqi’s case is now being targeted by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and even Guo Guangwei dare not intervene. If he rashly asks Qitong for help, he will definitely be in trouble. So, in
After weighing it for a long time, he still didn't make a call to Qi Tong...
At this moment, when I saw that Qi Tong personally led the team and mobilized the police to surround the petitioners, I couldn't help but be surprised: Under normal circumstances, in order not to intensify conflicts and not cause major mass incidents, people who petition to the provincial party committee and provincial government
, the Provincial Letters and Calls Bureau or the Provincial Party Committee Office notifies the local government where the petitioner belongs, asking them to send people to persuade them to return as soon as possible, and try to appease the mood of the petitioners, and the local police force is rarely mobilized to forcibly evict them.
So, he quickly asked the taxi driver to stop, paid the fare, jumped out of the car, walked to Qi Tong, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Director Qi, are you performing official duties?"
Qi Tong was scolding the petitioners with his fists and sleeves. After being patted on the shoulder by Ye Ming, he suddenly turned around. When he saw the person patting the shoulder was Ye Ming, his face was immediately filled with smiles and he grabbed Ye Ming.
While shaking his hand affectionately, he said: "Brother, you are also here to persuade people to return, right? Why didn't I see your group of petitioners from Beishan County?"
Ye Ming pulled him aside and said with a wry smile: "Director Qi, our group of petitioners from Beishan are targeting me. They have just been persuaded to leave by our county magistrate Yu and others. I am about to go
Negotiating with them!"
Qi Tong only knew that the petitioners were here to ask for illegal funds raised by Jinqiao Group, but he did not know that the petitioners from Beishan County were here to target Ye Ming. Therefore, after hearing Ye Ming's words, his eyes widened in shock.
When it was over, I quickly asked what was going on.
Ye Ming briefly talked about Chen Mengqi's 200 million yuan, and said that Chen Mengqi has been arrested by the Economic Investigation Detachment of the M City Public Security Bureau, and he still doesn't know what the situation is.
After Qi Tong heard what happened, he complained: "Brother, why didn't you call me earlier? I've been busy with the branch affairs, and I don't know much about what happened at the municipal bureau. But, if you had called earlier,
Give it to me, I can go to the leader of the economic investigation detachment,
Let them take care of Ms. Chen Mengqi! At least, you can ask them to pay attention during the interrogation and not to burn the flames on you. Although I have just been promoted to deputy director, I have been working in the M City Public Security Bureau for more than 20 years.
Years ago, I still have some connections."
Ye Ming shook his head and said: "Director Qi, this matter is quite complicated, involving many people and things, and is being targeted by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, so I don't dare to ask for help easily. I accept your suggestion, and I also want to ask you to
Do me a favor: Chen Mengqi is currently being held in
Your city bureau, if it is convenient, please go to the leaders of the economic investigation detachment and ask them to take proper care of her in her daily life and not to intimidate her during the interrogation. She is timid and has never experienced such a thing. I
I’m afraid she won’t be able to bear it.”
Qi Tong agreed: "Brother, this is a small matter. After I deal with these dozen troublemakers, I will rush to the Economic Investigation Detachment immediately. I will personally buy food at noon and evening and deliver it to Ms. Chen.
Let them arrange a better detention room for her to rest. Don't worry, as long as I tell her, the people handling the case will not make things difficult for her."
Ye Ming expressed his thanks again, and then asked a little strangely: "Director Qi, it seems that you want to take measures against these petitioners. Is this approved by your superiors? In my impression, petitioners are generally not used
The police force forced them to leave.”
Qi Tong said angrily: "These people are no longer ordinary petitioners, but unreasonable and illegal gatherings and troublemakers. Yesterday, they gathered in front of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government for a day. At that time, their appeal was to ask the government to hold the former Jinqiao Group accountable.
They took out the hidden property of 200 million yuan to repay the debt owed to them by the Jinqiao Group. This request seemed more legitimate, so after our police officers arrived at the scene, they left without taking any measures, leaving the petition bureau's
The staff explained and persuaded them.
"However, after investigation yesterday afternoon, we found that most of the IOUs and IOUs in the hands of these so-called 'creditors' who came to petition for debt collection were not issued by the finance department or chairman or general manager of Jinqiao Group, but by
Some people who don’t work for Jinqiao Group gave them IOUs or
IOUs. For example, the IOUs in the hands of the dozen or so creditors in your Beishan County were all issued to them by a person named She Chuqing; the IOUs of those creditors in Xinlang County were all issued to them by a person named Chen Yuanshan.
The IOU from the creditor of City M was issued by a person named Li Tao.
"Later we contacted people from the Jinqiao Group's illegal fund-raising case task force three years ago and learned the reason why these people did not ask for the funds back then: because the IOUs or IOUs in their hands were not from the Finance Department or Chairman of Jinqiao Group.
, issued by the general manager, was determined by the task force to have nothing to do with the debts of Jinqiao Group.
Although these people argued that She Chuqing, Chen Yuanshan, and Chen Yuanxi were all relatives of Chen Yuanqiao, and they lent money to these three people at the time, they made it clear orally that the money was lent to Jinqiao Group. However, because there was no relevant evidence to support it, the task force did not confirm it at all.
.Therefore, it is illegal for them to petition to collect debts now!”
