After listening to Deputy Director Wang's detailed analysis, Lu Cheng thought carefully for a while, nodded and said, "That's true. Yesterday we went to interrogate Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua. Both of them were very tough-talking and insisted that they ruled that Gong Zhichao did not need to file a case last time. The reasons for the investigation were sufficient, and the decision to cancel the task force was made collectively, and based on the facts and evidence at the time, this decision was correct.
"At that time, Lao He, who was presiding over the interrogation, had been coaxing Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua, trying to get them to confess who was instigated by them and who was supporting Gong Zhichao behind the scenes. However, Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua insisted that they made that decision. They were not instructed by anyone, and there was no question of shielding Gong Zhichao. Now according to what you said, could it be that Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua made the mistake of shielding Gong Zhichao because of Ye Ming? If that is the case, Then Ye Ming's background is really not that tough."
Deputy Director Liang was impatient, so he rushed to say: "Yes, Director Lu, Lao Wang and I have already verified that Ye Ming is the young hero who saved Secretary Li Runji in a small restaurant near the Provincial Committee last year. It is precisely for this reason that Secretary Li Runji has recognized him as his godson. Many people in our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection have heard that Secretary Li loves him very much as his godson and has great hopes for him, because You should also have heard: Our big boss is childless, so Ye Ming is actually almost like his biological son. In the future, we will expect him to provide for the old couple until they die. Think about it: this is a What kind of relationship we have? To put it bluntly: Ye Ming is actually our young boss and the life-long support of our big boss. Therefore, if anyone wants to touch him or cause trouble for him, isn't that asking for death? "
Deputy Director Wang couldn't help but frowned when he heard that his explanation was unreasonable and the metaphors he used were vulgar. He even used words like "young boss" and cursed him again in his mind as "stupid pig".
Lu Cheng, however, did not feel at all that there was anything wrong with Deputy Director Liang's words. On the contrary, he captured several extremely important and critical information from his confusing words.
Therefore, after Deputy Director Liang finished speaking, he suddenly widened his eyes in surprise and asked with some disbelief: "Director Liang, are you saying that Ye Ming is the savior of Secretary Li Runji, and he is also his godson? Is this news reliable?"
Deputy Director Wang estimated that he was tempted now, so he struck while the iron was hot and said in a very affirmative tone: "Director Lu, this news is absolutely reliable. Director Liang and I came from Ye Ming just now, and he has told us personally He described how he rescued Secretary Li at that time, and said that he would visit Secretary Li and his wife in the provincial capital every month. Although he did not personally admit that he was Secretary Li’s godson, from what he said about his relationship with Secretary Li, Judging from some of the details, Secretary Li really cared for him."
After hearing what Deputy Director Wang said, Lu Cheng's eyes immediately shone: If Ye Ming is really the godson of Secretary Li Runji, and he is now destined to get to know him and have the opportunity to help him, what will it mean to him? A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,
It turns out that Lu Cheng is a very capable and capable prosecutor. Two years ago, he was appointed as deputy prosecutor of a certain city procuratorate and was transferred to the provincial high prosecutor's office as deputy director of the anti-corruption bureau. After arriving at the provincial high prosecutor's office, he Discovery: To be an official in a provincial capital, once you reach the deputy department level, you must find a backer in the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Only in this way will you have room for further advancement in your official career. Otherwise, if you want to rely solely on your own This skill becomes even more difficult when it is promoted to the department level.
Among the middle-level cadres who are likely to be promoted to the Provincial High Procuratorate, he and He Zhi, the deputy director of the Dereliction of Duty and Infringement Bureau, have similar qualifications, similar abilities, and are about the same age. They are recognized by people within the Provincial High Procuratorate as the two most promising deputy directors. level cadre,
However, Lu Cheng knew very well that if he competed with He Zhi for a department-level position, He Zhi would definitely win, because he was now a close confidant of Zhou Jiqing, secretary of the Provincial Party Committee's Political and Legal Affairs Committee, and it was Zhou Jiqing who appointed him He was promoted by one hand, and the Provincial High Procuratorate is under the leadership of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Committee in terms of business. Therefore, even the top leader of the Provincial High Procuratorate, because of Secretary Zhou, now looks at He Zhi with high regard and shows great affection. ,So, once the provincial high inspection department vacates a department-level position, He Zhi will definitely be promoted.
Because of this, Lu Cheng is also eager to find a backer in the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, at least a backer who is equal to or even surpasses Secretary Zhou Jiqing. And now, if he can climb up to Secretary Li Runji, then he will In terms of backing, even he is on par with He Zhi...
Therefore, after learning that Ye Ming was Secretary Li Runji's savior and godson, he immediately realized sensitively: his opportunity had come.
So, he said in a very urgent tone: "Director Wang, Director Liang, thank you both for coming to reveal such important news to me. Tell me what you want me to do and how you can help Ye Ming. "
Deputy Director Wang said: "Director Lu, you also know that at ten o'clock tonight, Team Leader Yan will convene a case analysis meeting. At this meeting, Ye Ming's issue will definitely be discussed and a decision will be made. In order to determine how to deal with Ye Ming's problem in the next step, Director Liang and I have the idea that we should join forces with two comrades from the Provincial Public Security Department to defend Ye Ming at this case analysis meeting and explain the current situation for him. The reports and accusations against him are untenable and his detention should be lifted immediately.
"However, we estimate that Team Leader Yan will object to our opinions, and will probably decide the next step in dealing with Ye Ming through voting. If there is really a vote, as long as you, Director Lu, are on our side, then, We have nine members in the task force, two from our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, two from the Provincial Public Security Department plus you, that’s five votes, but Team Leader Yan and his side only have four votes. According to the principle of 'minority obeys the majority', our side Our opinions belong to the majority, and logically we should do what we do."
After all, Lu Cheng had a higher position and more experience than Deputy Director Wang and others. After hearing Deputy Director Wang's confident words, he frowned and thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Director Wang, Director Liang , I’m afraid things are not that simple. The minority obeys the majority. This sentence is not wrong, and it is indeed an important principle of discussion within our party. However, you should also think of it: our party emphasizes democratic centralism, and in democracy Basically, there must be a certain amount of authority and concentration, and for our task force, Secretary Yan Lian is the authority. If he insists on continuing to investigate and deal with Ye Ming, no matter how much we object, it won't have much effect."
