Yan Lian didn't wait for Li Botang to finish what he said, and said in a hurried tone: "Mr. Li, something big has happened. Secretary Zhou just called me and asked me to immediately lift Ye Ming's criminal detention measures, and he must do it tomorrow." He was released in the morning. Not only that, he also ordered us to release Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua together. Listening to Secretary Zhou's tone, the attitude of releasing them was very firm and unquestionable. Now we can't figure out what happened or why. Such a huge change suddenly occurred,”
"What,"
When Li Botang heard these words, he felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on his head. He felt a chill running down his back to the top of his forehead. He was so surprised that his eyes bulged, and the look on his face His expression is like an old toad with bulging eyes.
"Team Leader Yan, did you ask Secretary Zhou about the reasons and reasons for releasing Ye Ming and others? Doesn't Secretary Zhou hate Li Runji the most and want to trample Li Runji under his feet? Moreover, he told the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee yesterday He has already fallen out with Lu Zhiyao, there is no reason for him to give this order,"
After regaining consciousness for a while, Li Botang asked Yan Lian a barrage of questions.
Yan Lian felt like he was in a fog at this moment, and he didn't know the reason.
However, he knew Zhou Jiqing's character better than Li Botang. He knew that Zhou Jiqing was originally known as "Zhou Barbarian", acted domineeringly, liked to have his own way, and easily refused to listen to other people's opinions. Yesterday, he contradicted Ye Ming at the Standing Committee meeting. Secretary Lu, suddenly made a 180-degree change today and ordered the task force to release Ye Ming in a non-negotiable tone. There must be some huge hidden secret in this.
Therefore, after Yan Lian thought about it for a while, he said worriedly: "Mr. Li, I am just like you. I am in a state of confusion now and can't figure out what happened. Secretary Zhou just told me The reason is: after careful consideration and weighing, he feels that Secretary Lu’s speech at the Standing Committee is correct. There is indeed no solid evidence and sufficient factual basis for arresting Ye Ming. Therefore, he is now ordering us to release Ye Ming and others. In implementing Secretary Lu's instructions and correcting the deviations in the case handling of the task force, Mr. Li, please listen: What kind of reason is this? If there are deviations in our handling of the case, and we have wronged Ye Ming and others, that is not the case. We did this under the instruction of Secretary Zhou. It’s better now that he will completely take away all his responsibilities with just one order. By then, if the case turns over, Li Runji, Ye Ming and the others will If he succeeds, those of us who try our best to support him will have to take the blame."
Because the incident happened suddenly and he was not mentally prepared at all, Yan Lian was full of resentment towards Zhou Jiqing and couldn't help but make a fuss.
Although Li Botang was extremely shocked, he was not discouraged. Instead, he comforted Yan Lian and said, "Secretary Yan, you don't have to be too hasty. There is still room for change in this matter. I will call Secretary-General Wang and Minister Xie Hongda later." , report this matter to them to see if they are aware of it. I estimate that this matter should be made by Secretary Zhou alone. Minister Xie and Secretary-General Wang may not know about it. Otherwise, Secretary-General Wang will Give me feedback first,”
Yan Lian listened to his analysis and felt even more that something was wrong: If this decision was made by Zhou Jiqing alone and Xie Hongda, Wang Hai and others were not aware of it, then something really big would have happened, because he was very It is clear: Zhou Jiqing, Xie Hongda, Wang Hai and other three people are all in an interest alliance. This time they are preparing to join forces to overthrow Li Runji. The decision to arrest Ye Ming was also made after discussions between them. If Zhou Jiqing does not have it now After discussing with Xie Hongda and Wang Hai, they decided to release Ye Ming without authorization. Then there must be a big name in it, and there must be a big unpredictable risk hidden in it...
Thinking of this, he became even more panicked. He hurriedly said a few more words to Li Botang, then asked him to call Wang Hai and Xie Hongda, and then terminated the call.
After hanging up Li Botang's call, Yan Lian didn't stop for a moment and immediately dialed Zhou Jiqing's mobile phone number.
"Secretary Zhou, I would like to ask you: You just ordered me to release Ye Ming, Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua. Have you discussed this matter with Minister Xie of the Organization Department and Secretary-General Wang of the Provincial Party Committee Office? What did their two leaders say? "
Zhou Jiqing was originally depressed and irritable, but now that Yan Lian once again questioned his order and asked him if he had discussed it with Xie Hongda and Wang Hai, he couldn't help but get angry and almost roared on the phone: "Yan Lian , who are you listening to, who is leading you, Wang Hai or Xie Hongda, I am the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, the direct leader and final decision-maker of the Xinleng 5.16 task force, I gave the order, your task force must Implement it to the letter. What nonsense does it have to do with Wang Hai and Xie Hongda? One of them is from the Provincial Party Committee and the other is from the Organization Department. They have nothing to do with the criminal case of Xin Leng. I have to make a decision. Why should I go? Discuss with them whether you have water in your head or a donkey's kick,"
This overwhelming rebuke suddenly confused Yan Lianxian: What is going on? Secretary Zhou, Secretary-General Wang Hai, and Minister Xie Hongda have always been close comrades-in-arms. Regarding the 5.16 investigation, they Aren't a few people been discussing the matter all the time? Why would Secretary Zhou say such a thing now? Could it be that he, Secretary-General Wang and Minister Xie have fallen out.
Yan Lian was a confidant promoted by Zhou Jiqing. Among the Standing Committee members of the Provincial Party Committee, he only had Zhou Jiqing as a backer and supporter. Therefore, when he saw Zhou Jiqing getting angry, although he felt aggrieved, he did not dare to contradict him, so he had to He stammered and argued: "Secretary Zhou, you misunderstood me. I just asked you that, but I felt a little strange and wanted to act more cautiously. You know that when it comes to executing your instructions and orders, I will I never discount, but regarding the release of Ye Ming, Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua, because this matter is very involved and the stakes are high, I am worried that there will be consequences, so I would like to ask you the real reason. Since you don’t want to tell me, then I won’t ask any more questions and will immediately carry out your order.”
When Zhou Jiqing heard what Yan Lian said, he felt a little regretful that his attitude just now was too bad and he should not have treated his loyal subordinate like this. So, he changed his tone and said in a sad tone: "Yan Lian, I Let me tell you the truth: The reason behind this is not for you to find out. The battle we are currently engaged in will sooner or later end with the complete defeat of our camp. I am now a mud Buddha crossing the river and cannot save myself, and I will not be able to protect myself in the future. It’s hard to take care of you anymore, you’d better find a way to protect yourself,”
