Chapter six hundred and eighty seventh betraying a friend
At this time, Zhou Jiqing's psychological defense had been completely defeated by Secretary Lu. After listening to Secretary Lu's request for him to truthfully explain the problem, he sat down on the chair opposite him and recalled his experiences in Texas. All disciplinary and illegal issues were explained in detail.
However, he did not mention a word about the illegal issues he committed during his tenure at the Provincial High Procuratorate and the Provincial Political and Legal Committee. He only said that since arriving at the Provincial High Procuratorate, he realized his previous mistakes and did not want to commit similar crimes again. Therefore, he has never done anything illegal in recent years.
Secretary Lu is well aware of his little tricks: he is still taking chances and thinks that Li Qian doesn’t know about what happened to him in the provincial capital, so he is only willing to confess the crimes that Li Qian may have confessed to. But I don't want to be completely honest.
However, even though he saw through Zhou Jiqing's little tricks, Secretary Lu didn't point him out, because in his heart he actually didn't want to investigate Zhou Jiqing at this time. The reason for this was besides the reasons he told Li Runji in the afternoon. In addition, he also had a more realistic idea: today he went to the Provincial Public Security Department for an inspection and had a very good impression of Guo Guangwei. At the same time, he also felt that Guo Guangwei was not only capable and of good character, but also respected and loyal to him, so , he intends to propose to Chief No. 1 at next year’s party congress that Guo Guangwei be appointed as member of the Standing Committee of the Tianjiang Provincial Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, because Secretary Lu knows very well: Whether the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of a province is Being united with the provincial party committee secretary and whether he supports the provincial party committee secretary will play a key role in the political stability of the province. Therefore, he is now interested in Guo Guangwei and wants him to replace Zhou Jiqing.
However, since he has not yet communicated with the main leaders of the central government on this matter, and Guo Guangwei has just served as the director of the Public Security Department for a year, he is obviously not qualified to be the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. If Zhou Jiqing is brought down now, the central government will definitely In addition, arrange for someone to take over. In that case, my hope of helping Guo Guangwei to take over will be in vain.
Therefore, the best way now is to let Zhou Jiqing stay in this position for a few more months, and then remove him when the party committee changes next year. Then there will be a way to arrange Guo Guangwei to be a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee...
Therefore, after Zhou Jiqing finished explaining, even though he clearly knew that he still had reservations and concealed something, Secretary Lu did not want to dwell on this issue anymore. After he finished speaking, he nodded and said: "Okay, since you said You have already explained everything. I choose to believe your words. Today we will talk about this. You go back and reflect on it. Tomorrow I will go and talk to Team Leader Jin of the inspection team about your problem and try to stop them from taking your case for the time being. Report the problem."
Zhou Jiqing quickly stood up and thanked her profusely, but stood by the chair, not wanting to leave.
Secretary Lu looked up at him and asked, "Do you have anything else to say to me?"
A humble smile appeared on Zhou Jiqing's face, and he said humbly: "Secretary Lu, at yesterday's Standing Committee meeting, I'm very sorry for you. I hope you will forgive me for my bastard words and bastard behavior. , I would also like to remind you: there are several people in the Provincial Party Committee who want to go against you, and want to bring down Comrade Runji and several other comrades who are close to you on the Standing Committee, in order to squeeze you out of Tianjiang Province. In fact, you It should be clear: I was also in their camp at the beginning and knew many of their plans and conspiracies. Now, I have awakened and know that you are a good leader who is magnanimous and kind to others, as well as a far-sighted and talented doer. , Therefore, I will not associate with them again in the future. If you have time, I would like to tell you all their plans and conspiracies, so that you and Comrade Runji can be mentally prepared to avoid being plotted by them. "
When Secretary Lu heard his words of betraying his friends and seeking glory, he felt more disgusted than swallowing several flies. He looked at him coldly and said, "Comrade Zhou Jiqing, your current behavior is detrimental to the unity of the team." , I hope you won’t say it again in the future if it damages the trust relationship between comrades. I don’t want to hear any plans and conspiracies against me. If someone really does this, he will suffer for himself sooner or later. Comrade Runji and I are both aboveboard. As a person, you don’t do anything wrong, and you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. There is nothing you need to be prepared for. But you, I would like to advise you: in the future, you should be more upright, be an upright person, and don’t always judge others based on your own dark psychology. , don’t always think about using conspiracies and tricks to frame others, that’s the behavior of a villain, not a gentleman’s style.”
Zhou Jiqing originally wanted to betray Wang Hai, Xie Hongda and others to win the favor of Secretary Lu and strengthen his determination to speak well for him. Unexpectedly, he hit a soft nail and was reprimanded by Secretary Lu. His face suddenly burned. He was so hot that he could only smile and said: "Secretary Lu, when you say this, I admire you even more."
After saying these flattering words, he still didn't want to leave. He thought about it and then asked cautiously: "Secretary Lu, yesterday you raised the issue of the Xinleng 5.16 task force at the Standing Committee, and also pointed out that Comrade Xiaoye is Those who have been wronged, how do you think I should handle this matter now? Give me some instructions and I will definitely follow them."
Secretary Lu glanced at him calmly and said: "I already said everything that needs to be said at yesterday's Standing Committee meeting. You are still the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and the direct leader of the 5.16 task force. How should you handle this matter? , you can make up your own mind. I don’t have any specific instructions for you, but I hope you will remember one principle of handling cases: based on facts and the law. For so-called criminal suspects who have no factual basis or evidence to support, How to deal with it, you, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, should know better than me."
The fundamental purpose of Secretary Lu's conversation with Zhou Jiqing tonight was to pressure him to release Ye Ming. However, he would not make this request straightforward, so he said the above ambiguous words. He believed that even if Zhou Jiqing No matter how stupid you are, you should understand the meaning of what you said.
Sure enough, after listening to Secretary Lu's words, Zhou Jiqing nodded quickly and said, "Secretary Lu, I understand what you mean. I will go back to the office to deal with this matter now."
After nodding and bowing out of Secretary Lu's office, Zhou Jiqing returned to Building No. 3 without notifying the secretary. He quietly entered the office of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee without turning on the lights, and slumped down on the couch at the door, holding his head. After thinking for about a quarter of an hour, he stood up and dialed Yan Lian, the leader of the 5.16 task force, on his mobile phone.
