Chapter 170: Making a Big Deal (Revised Edition)
The small conference room in the office building of the provincial party committee was full of flowers. The green bamboo is dripping. Pleasing to the eye. But the atmosphere was very depressing. It's a bit breathless.
The on-site service staff were silent and cautious. For fear that if you are not careful, you will cause dissatisfaction with the leaders. At the provincial level. The Standing Committee is often in a harmonious mood. It's like the top master in the trick. There weren't so many bells and whistles at all. The cadres below have already decided the winner before they can see any clues in the clouds. However, confrontations at small-scale meetings such as the secretary's office meeting and the governor's office meeting have occurred from time to time. Sometimes it's even so intense that it's a slap in the face. And every time they meet. Perhaps it will have a huge impact on the whole of Xicheng.
Wang Hongbin, the newly appointed secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, sat in his seat and frowned. He didn't expect it. As soon as I took office, I would encounter such a tricky thing.
Wang Hongbin was originally the president and party secretary of the Provincial High People's Court. Generally speaking. Most of the secretaries of the political and legal committees were promoted by the director of the Public Security Department. There are also those who are transferred to the secretary of a certain municipal party committee or the deputy secretary of a certain provincial party committee. It is relatively rare for the president of the Provincial High Court to serve as the secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee in China. is also because of Ge Yanping's accident. It's too wide-ranging. And most of the provincial public security departments are his cronies who have been promoted. Therefore. The leaders of the central and provincial party committees did not trust the provincial public security department. The pie hit Wang Hongbin's head at this time.
It's pie to say, though. In fact, Wang Hongbin is also trembling and walking on thin ice. The secretary of the political and legal committee seems to be beautiful. But on the cusp of this storm, it is like being roasted on a fire. If you are not careful, you will hit your head and bleed. Therefore. Since taking office, he has been cautious in his words and deeds. It's very low-key. It stands to reason. He, secretary of the Xinzha Provincial Political and Legal Committee, is not qualified to attend the meeting. But because today's secretary's office will involve issues within his jurisdiction. It is only then that he attended the meeting as an observer. Unexpectedly. The first time I attended the secretary's office meeting, I was pushed into an extremely embarrassing situation.
"It's just ridiculous. Even the reporter from CCTV's "Focus Interview" program called me. Let me express my opinion on the matter. Liu Yongrui's rhetoric was very intense. There was even some roaring: "You say." Let me make my say. The worst thing is that it has been more than half a year since the incident, but it has never been properly handled. This makes our work extremely reactive. Torture to extract confessions. Beat people to death. It just makes me a little skeptical. This is whether it is the police or the bandits. ”
The more Liu Yongrui spoke, the more angry he became. Pick up the teacup. He slammed down on the table again. The staff next to him couldn't help but tremble. On weekdays, they see a lot of these leaders when they are in a gentle drizzle. I don't know. It's so terrifying to really start a fire. They were so frightened that they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere.
Today's secretary meeting. Originally, it was to discuss the list of cadres to be trained at the party school and department level and some personnel issues of the provincial public security department. Unexpectedly, Liu Yongrui had such a fire at the beginning. In fact, those of you here have heard about it. I just didn't think too deeply. What happened on the district. Even if it can't be solved in the district. And the city. The province rashly intervened. Not necessarily a good thing. Besides, this kind of thing is actually taken to the secretary's office meeting. Some of the small things are overdone. I heard that Liu Yongrui was full of anger. There are many complaints. In addition to not consulting him on the appointment of the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. It is also related to the fact that when he came to work this morning, he was surrounded by reporters who were squatting for more than half an hour before he got out.
Look at the staff's astonishment and horror. Zeng Zhi also frowned. Knocked on the table. Signaled Liu Yongrui not to get excited. Be mindful of your image and impact. He was a little upset that the office meeting would be held like this. He couldn't help but be a little suspicious. Is there a problem with how well I control the office meeting?
After Liu Yongrui finished speaking. Yoon Junxin cleared his throat. Then he said, "It's a small thing. What can be mapped out has to be taken seriously. Today, our public security system is mixed. Cohabitation. Many of the personnel are of low quality. Especially what joint defense. In the name of beauty, it is for mass prevention and group governance. Reduce all kinds of illegal and criminal activities. Maintain public order and order. But in fact. They are even more harmful than many criminals. The nature is even worse. Dominate the market. Extortion. He also openly assumed the identity of a law enforcer. The common people dare to be angry but dare not speak. There is no place to claim justice. Seemingly. It is imperative to clean up our law enforcement team. ”
Everyone couldn't help but glance at Yin Junxin.
On weekdays, the two deputy secretaries, Yin Junxin and Liu Yongrui, are often needle-pointed. One is closer to Secretary Zeng of the Provincial Party Committee. The other is closer to Governor Chang. But I never thought about it. On this issue, the two actually reached an agreement for the first time. This made everyone else smell something unusual.
Zeng Zhi also drank tea silently. From time to time, he glanced at the people below. Seeing that no one spoke. Only then did he slowly put down the teacup. Be prepared to make a concluding remarks. This is also the prerogative of the number one. Many things are almost given at the time of this concluding statement. No matter how fierce the dispute is. How sharp the rhetoric is. But the final result is still in his hands.
"Secretary Zeng. Can I say a few words. "At this time. Wang Hongbin, who had been silent, suddenly smiled and asked.
Zeng Zhiyi smiled and nodded. I swallowed back the words that came to my mouth.
Wang Hongbin's proposal for secretary of the Political and Legal Committee was proposed by him. Chang Hongran didn't say anything. After all, the director of the Public Security Department has already let Chang Hongran get his hands on it. Naturally, the secretary of the political and legal committee should give up. Otherwise, it will be too ugly. Politics, on the other hand, is about struggle and compromise. To compromise is to have an exchange of interests. It's impossible to take advantage of everything. Wang Hongbin is not the director of the Public Security Department. His power as secretary of the Political and Legal Committee has been greatly reduced.
Therefore. Strictly speaking. It is not an exaggeration to put Wang Hongbin in Zeng Zhiyi's camp. Whether it is under the consideration of the votes of the Standing Committee. Or the control of the political and legal system. Zeng Zhi also had to envelop Wang Hongbin.
"For this matter. I think I still have a little bit of a say. Wang Hongbin smiled and looked around at the cadres present.
Everyone nodded. Wang Hongbin has also worked in Wuxi for more than ten years. It has always been in the public security system. In the past, the family of the deceased had also filed a lawsuit with the court against the high-tech branch. Wang Hongbin naturally knows more about the situation than others. Besides. He is now the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. Even if it's new. But since this matter has to touch the sphere of his interests. His opinion cannot be ignored.
"As an organ of dictatorship. In the course of handling cases, the police do encounter a variety of extremely complex situations. Especially with the advent of reform and opening up and the economic tide. In this emancipation of the mind. A society where individuality is revealed. There are people of all shapes. It also puts higher demands on our law enforcers. True. There are a lot of problems in the police system right now. But it is not completely denied that the vast majority of police officers are still conscientious. Dedication and love. ”
"Then concretely implement this case. The police did inflict unregulated physical injuries on the deceased. There is no doubt about it. And where they get it wrong. But the autopsy proved. The cause of death of the deceased was not directly related to the beatings he had suffered. There is no causal relationship. If something happens, they blindly doubt and distrust our police. They had to be sacrificed in order to calm public opinion. It's so unfair to them. And so on. Who will dare to do things with all their heart and soul in the future. ”
"I'm not denying the current problems in the police system. Nor is it against rectification. Merely. There are problems that can be corrected. But on the merits. It can't be expanded indefinitely. Not to mention the online line. After all, in these extraordinary times. Stability is more important than anything else. "Speaking of which. Wang Hongbin picked up the teacup and took a sip of water. Moistened my throat. Perhaps it was the first time such a big call was made on such an important occasion. He was slightly nervous. There was also a slight amount of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Zeng Zhi also lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly. Didn't speak. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Although Liu Yongrui's speech was somewhat unexpected. But he soon realized. This is a good opportunity to meddle in the public security system. The position of the director of public security was handed over. But that doesn't mean he will give up control of the public security system. But he obviously didn't expect Wang Hongbin to say such a thing. Although Wang Hongbin's speech did not have any impact on the overall situation. But I saw myself promoted. And people who have great expectations are against themselves. It was a bit uncomfortable.
The crowd present was also a little stunned. Probably no one expected Wang Hongbin to have such an attitude.
In fact, Wang Hongbin didn't come up with this limelight. But this matter can be big or small. And because of the Ge Yanping incident. The image of the Xicheng Political and Legal Committee is already in jeopardy. Let them make some big moves. I guess my life is even more difficult. Meantime. In all fairness. He also hopes to give Secretary Zeng a reminder. It is not terrible to have different factional political views. But if there is no principled group to engage in political disputes. That's dangerous. And Secretary Zeng seems to be a little crazy now.
"What do you think? Tell me what you have in mind. Listening is clear. We just need to listen to different voices. Zeng Zhi also rubbed his gray hair on his head. He said with a smile. It seems to be very friendly.
Zhang Xuanmao, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and executive vice governor, who had been flipping through the documents on the table, slowly raised his head. smiled and said: "Comrade Hongbin's opinion is very pertinent. Stability is more important than anything else. However, the problem of the public security and judicial system has also been a problem for a long time. It should also be properly rectified and cleaned up. But you should be in good hands. Otherwise, it will hurt everyone's enthusiasm for work, and it will not be good. In my opinion, it can be self-corrected and self-examined within the public security and law system. In this way, everyone's resistance may not be so great. It is also easy to implement. In case not. It is not too late for the province to intervene in the future. ”
