Organization Minister Jiao Naiwang said: "There are indeed big problems in the handling of Comrade Zhang Yang. Secretary Liu, you have been working in the Discipline Inspection Commission for a day or two. The handling of cadres who violate discipline should be clearer than us. You will not make such low-level mistakes. If you do this, many comrades will be confused. Some people may even think that you have any objections to Secretary Song and you are taking personal revenge!"

Taking advantage of the situation is definitely one of the basic qualities that cadres should possess.

Cold sweat broke out on Liu Zhao's spine. Jiao Naiwang is so silly. If you support Song Huaiming, you won't say that I will take revenge on my own, right? How much revenge do I have with you?

Liang Tianzheng said: "There is no conflict between Lao Liu and Secretary Song. I don't think it's necessary to take personal revenge on the public. However, your handling of this matter is indeed a bit inappropriate. Zhang Yang is not a hot potato. Why are you in a hurry to throw it to the Public Security Department? If you find out his problem, double regulation, double opening, and you hand him over to the Public Security Department like this, that is, all the responsibilities are pushed to Lao Gao. If the Public Security Department can replace the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission, then what is the meaning of your Discipline Inspection Commission? Let Lao Gao serve as the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission!"

It sounded like Liang Tian was talking to him, but after hearing a few words, I realized that Liang Tian was much more cruel than Jiao Naiwang. Isn’t this instigating my position to remove me? But you don’t have this power!

Zhou Xingmin watched the group fight coldly, and Liu Zhao's face looked even worse than being beaten. Zhou Xingmin spoke at the right time: "Everyone's open and honest way is good. Old Liu doesn't have any personal grudges towards you. You can say anything you have in person!" He was giving Liu Zhao a chance to step down.

As soon as Zhou Xingmin spoke, the other members of the Standing Committee who originally wanted to follow and step on the feet immediately gave up their thoughts. Although Zhou Xingmin was ranked 2nd in Pinghai, no one dared to ignore his existence. When he thought of the family behind him, no one dared to openly oppose him.

Song Huaiming said: "Old Liu, you should reflect on it carefully. You are indeed a little cautious in handling this problem. It was not that complicated at first, but you made things complicated."

Liu Zhao moved his mouth and saw Zhou Xingmin lowering his eyes and gently dropping his cup. So he held back what he wanted to say and sighed: "I admit that I have thought too much about dealing with the problem of Zhangyang, mainly because I am concerned about Secretary Song's face and worried that it will have a negative impact on Secretary Song, so I did not handle this matter according to normal procedures. I want to apologize to Secretary Song here." Liu Zhao is also an ordinary person. He apologized on the surface, but actually pushed all the problems to Song Huaiming.

Song Huaiming said: "Actually, I have a considerable responsibility for Zhang Yang's issue. When I realized that Chen Gang might have problems, I asked him to find a way to approach Chen Gang and try to penetrate the corrupt elements. I don't know the specific situation, but one thing cannot be denied. Zhang Yang has made contributions in solving the corruption of officials who plague Beigang. My relationship with Zhang Yang decided that I am not suitable to ask about this matter, but I still hope to give everyone and give him a fair result. I don't want this matter not to be used by some people who are interested to create conflicts and obstacles between our comrades. Comrade Liu Zhao is an old comrade, and I still believe that you have the ability to solve this problem and handle this matter well. If the facts prove that Zhang Yang is guilty and responsible, I, Song Huaiming, will never be favored. But if you prove that he is innocent, you can't repay him innocence, I will also give him an innocence!"

After saying this, Song Huaiming stood up and left.

The other members of the Standing Committee also left one after another, and in the end, only Liu Zhao was left sitting there, and no one was willing to walk with him. Everyone understood that this guy offended the provincial party secretary.

Song Huaiming had already understood all the problems through this Standing Committee. After he returned to the office, he asked Zhong Peiyuan to invite the Director of Public Security Gao Zhonghe. Song Huaiming asked Gao Zhonghe to come over not to thank him for some words, but to ask him in person.

For these provincial and ministerial officials, the focus of the Zhang Yang incident is not on the case itself. What is really complicated is the series of games behind it.

At today's Standing Committee meeting, Gao Zhonghe has already taken the lead in drawing his sword. Of course, it is not only him who draws the sword, but most of the Standing Committee members are firmly standing on Song Huaiming's side.

Gao Zhonghe came to Song Huaiming's office and had guessed that Song Huaiming was going to ask about Zhang Yang.

Song Huaiming still feels as stable as Mount Tai. Even though the current situation is not so beneficial to him, many rumors about Zhang Yang have begun to circulate in the outside world, but none of this has caused too much trouble to Song Huaiming.

Gao Zhonghe sat down and said, "Secretary Song, what are you asking for me?"

Song Huaiming's topic did not start with Zhang Yang: "I heard that you handed over the case related to Beigang to Wen Haonan?"

Gao Zhonghe said: "It was not what I gave to him, it was Rong Pengfei. I came back just now, you should know it!"

Song Huaiming nodded: "Wen Haonan is not suitable for participating in this investigation."

Gao Zhonghe said: "I also think so. He and Zhang Yang have personal grudges. They showed too much targetedness during the investigation. Moreover, I have already obtained some evidence. He has acted inducing confessions during the interrogation."

Song Huaiming said: "There are indeed a lot of hatreds in this world for no reason."

Gao Zhonghe said: "Secretary Song, don't worry, I will deal with it impartially."

Song Huaiming said: "I heard that Wen Haonan resigned from you?"

Gao Zhonghe smiled and said, "I approved him at that time, but someone later said goodbye."

Song Huaiming did not ask who was engaging in love, but smiled and said, "Is it a joke to be a policeman?"

Gao Zhonghe immediately understood what he meant and said softly: "There is another thing. He Changan's daughter He Yumeng was stopped by Wen Haonan at the airport and said that she was carrying banned drugs. I have already understood this matter clearly and is suspected of frame-up."

Song Huaiming narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the desk: "Let me go back to his resignation report!"

Wen Haonan looked at Rong Pengfei, and he thought he had heard it wrong: "What? Let me hand in my resignation letter?"

Rong Pengfei's expression seemed helpless: "Hao Nan, Gao Dong insisted on handing you a resignation letter!"

Wen Haonan said: "Why is he? It is my business whether to resign or not, why is he?"

Rong Pengfei said: "He said you were inducing confessions when you asked Yuan Xiaoshang. In addition, He Yumeng's case has been found out, and the banned drugs in her suitcase are suspected of being framed."

"Say I'm framed?"

Rong Pengfei said: "The audio tape you provided to the Discipline Inspection Commission has also been confirmed to have been edited."

Wen Haonandao: "I haven't done it!"

Rong Pengfei said: "Hao Nan, I am really powerless now."

Wen Haonan nodded and said, "I understand! I understand everything!"

Not long after Rong Pengfei returned home, the provincial party secretary Song Huaiming came over. They had known each other for many years. I remember that when Song Huaiming was the county party secretary, they often drank and chatted together. In the past two years, they returned to the same city, but their interactions were not as much as they used to. After all, there were differences in identities. As the secretary of the Pinghai Provincial Party Committee, Song Huaiming had many things to deal with.

Rong Pengfei remembered that the last time Song Huaiming came to the door, he was transferred back to the provincial capital to serve as deputy director of the provincial department. Two years passed in a blink of an eye.

Seeing Song Huaiming coming to find him, Rong Pengfei smiled and said, "Secretary Song, you didn't say anything in advance. I'm ready to order wine and food."

Song Huaiming smiled and said, "I've eaten it. Do you have time? Take a walk together!"

Rong Pengfei nodded, and his subordinates always have time in front of their leaders.

Rong Pengfei's current residence is very close to the ancient city wall, so he proposed to go for the ancient city wall.

Song Huaiming nodded happily, and the two walked silently along the path paved with yellow leaves by the ancient city wall. Rong Pengfei intentionally or unintentionally lagged behind Song Huaiming. In fact, he no longer remembered when he last walked side by side with Song Huaiming. The difference in status invisibly widened the distance between them.

Song Huaiming said: "We have known each other for twenty years, right?"

Rong Pengfei nodded and said, "Twenty-five years!"

Song Huaiming said: "You have been a policeman for a longer time."

Rong Pengfei smiled and said, "Yes!"

Song Huaiming said: "When I just worked, my salary was not as high as you. When we went out together, you often treat me to dinner."

Rong Pengfei said: "I forgot everything that has been like this for so long!"

"I haven't forgotten! It's not easy for a person to make a few true friends in his life, especially those who meet at the low point in his life. How can he forget it casually?" Song Huaiming stopped, raised his head, and looked at the ancient city wall surrounded by grass: "In the past, standing on the city wall was always accustomed to turning his eyes to the distance. Only when standing under the city wall would he focus his attention on the city wall itself. It's the first time I have been to Dongjiang for so long that I appreciate this city wall up close."

Rong Pengfei said: "The wall has always been there, but you are too busy with work and lack time."

Song Huaiming said: "Since I became the governor of Pinghai, I have ignored many things. All my family has been taken care of by Yuying. Thinking about it, it is very late every day when I go home, my son goes to bed early, and I don't even have time to talk to him."

Rong Pengfei said: "If you realize it, you can make some changes."

Song Huaiming smiled: "I didn't expect the problem in Beigang to be so serious."

Rong Pengfei said: "The problem in Beigang is not a one-day achievement, but only after a long period of accumulation."

Song Huaiming said: "I thought Zhang Yang and Qiwei could fundamentally reverse the face of Beigang, but I still underestimated the power of the corrupt elements to counterattack. Qiwei's sacrifice may be avoided."

Rong Pengfei didn't say anything, and his eyes stared at the city wall in front of him like Song Huaiming.

Song Huaiming said: "Do you still remember the conflict between Zhang Yang and Gong Qiwei for a while?"

Rong Pengfei said: "Remember!"

Song Huaiming said: "Actually, they have always been good friends."

Rong Pengfei said: "I was very strange at the beginning, but later I believed it a little. It was not until after Gong Qiwei passed away that I saw Zhang Yang's grief that I realized that they were always singing double acts."
