pinnacle of power

The nanny asked with a gloomy face, "Who are you?"

Li Tanping said calmly, "We are from the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau. Please go and inform Hou Yuqiang that we have something to do with him and tell him to get up immediately."

Hearing that it was from the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the nanny's face paled in an instant. She had been working at Hou Yuqiang's house for a while, so she naturally knew that the two departments that officials were most afraid of were the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Anti-Corruption Department. If you come to the door, it will be troublesome.

Thinking of this, the nanny closed the small iron door of the external viewing window without saying a word, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

Going upstairs, he directly knocked on the door of Hou Yuqiang's bedroom.

Hou Yuqiang has been under investigation by the Anti-Corruption Bureau recently, and feels very irritable, so he often cannot sleep all night. Today, he barely fell asleep after taking several sleeping pills at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Now it is the deepest state of sleep, so Hou Yuqiang reacted after the nanny knocked on them for a long time, and opened his eyelids in pain. Hou Yuqiang calmed down for a while, and then barely propped up his body, and roared full of anger: "What's going on? Don't you know that I'm not allowed to wake me up when I'm sleeping?"

The nanny's trembling voice came in from outside: "Hou...mayor Hou, two people came outside the gate, saying that they are from the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau and told you to get up and go out immediately. They have something to do with you. Look at me answer them?"

Hearing the words of the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau, Hou Yuqiang's angry mood and hazy drowsiness seemed to be poured with cold water, and he woke up instantly. He jumped up all of a sudden: "What? The Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau? What do they call it?" Got a name?"

The nanny smiled wryly and shook her head, "No."

"Oh, I see, you tell them, I will go down soon." After finishing speaking, Hou Yuqiang immediately got up and turned on the video surveillance host in the bedroom, and looked at the surveillance screen at the gate.

Now the sky is getting dark, and the infrared night vision camera is installed at the door of Hou Yuqiang's house, so the situation at the door can be seen clearly. Hou Yuqiang can see Li Tanping and Mu Xiaosi standing at the door, silently Waiting, not far away, there is still a minibus parked, there are people in the car, it seems that there are other people.

Seeing this situation, Hou Yuqiang's complexion suddenly became gloomy, and he suddenly had a bad feeling that the anti-corruption bureau came this time to arrest him.It's just that Hou Yuqiang couldn't figure it out for a while, why did the people from the Anti-Corruption Bureau arrest him?He believes that with his own prudence, it is impossible to be caught by the anti-corruption bureau.Without evidence, why should they arrest themselves?

Hou Yuqiang was thinking this way, but he had already walked to the bedside, picked up his mobile phone and dialed the number of governor Zhao Dongcai.

At this moment, Zhao Dongcai has woken up.He is old, so the car is earlier, and he is washing it now.

Zhao Dongcai's wife heard the phone ringing and called Zhao Dongcai a few times. Seeing that there was no response, she picked up the phone and looked at it. When she saw that it was Hou Yuqiang, she immediately got up, put on her pajamas, and walked towards Zhao Dongcai's phone. Toilet.

She was very impressed with Hou Yuqiang, knowing that Hou Yuqiang was her husband's hard-core direct descendant, and since Hou Yuqiang called so early, she must have something important to say.

At this time, Zhao Dongcai had finished washing and was wiping his face when he heard his cell phone ringing at the door and his wife came in. He wiped his face and said, "Who called so early."

Zhao Dongcai's wife handed him the phone and said, "It's Hou Yuqiang calling, please answer it, I guess he has something to report to you."

Zhao Dongcai put down the towel, took the phone, connected it, and said with a smile, "Xiao Hou, why did you call me so early, what's the matter?"

Hou Yuqiang said anxiously and restlessly on the phone: "Governor Zhao, the people from the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau are at the gate of our house now. They said they have something to do with me, and there is a car outside. I suspect they seem to want to Do you know that you want to arrest me?"

Zhao Dongcai's face turned cold: "People from the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau? Want to arrest you? I really don't know about this." Speaking of this, Zhao Dongcai's eyes have already narrowed. Obviously, he is very dissatisfied with this matter, you know Well, he, the governor, doesn't know about such an important matter, which he absolutely cannot tolerate.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dongcai pondered for a moment, and said, "Well, I'll call Liu Qingyu directly to find out what's going on. Don't go out yet, wait for my call."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Dongcai hung up the phone, found out Liu Qingyu's mobile phone number, and dialed it directly.

The call was connected quickly, and Liu Qingyu said very respectfully: "Hello Governor Zhao."

Zhao Dongcai's tone was very smooth when he heard Liu Qingyu's words, and he didn't have the slightly vague feeling of someone who just woke up. Liu Qingyu didn't sleep.

At the same time, Zhao Dongcai suddenly remembered Hou Yuqiang saying that there was a minibus parked outside his house just now, and he immediately had an association, could Liu Qingyu be on the minibus outside Hou Yuqiang's house now?

Thinking of this, Zhao Dongcai said coldly: "Liu Qingyu, your Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau seems to be very busy now."

Hearing this, Liu Qingyu became alert immediately. He believed that it was impossible for a leader as big as Zhao Dongcai to call him so early for no reason.

Thinking about his current situation and the relationship between Hou Yuqiang and Zhao Dongcai, he said with a smile, "Yes, Governor Zhao, we are really busy."

"I heard that your Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau is currently investigating Hou Yuqiang's case? How is the matter going now?" Zhao Dongcai pointed out his own question directly.

Hearing this, Liu Qingyu was absolutely sure that it should be Hou Yuqiang who called Zhao Dongcai. Since Zhao Dongcai already knew about it, he stopped hiding it and said directly to Zhao Dongcai: "Governor Zhao, Hou Yuqiang The matter of our Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau has been checked and confirmed by many parties, and we have obtained evidence of his involvement in corruption and many other issues. The evidence is conclusive. We have reported this matter to the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Members of the task force of the Anti-Corruption Bureau have come outside Hou Yuqiang's house, ready to arrest him.

Governor Zhao, do you have any other instructions for us? "

Liu Qingyu's words were soft but hard.

On the surface, it sounds like Liu Qingyu is asking for instructions from Zhao Dongcai. In fact, he first told Zhao Dongcai that the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau has obtained conclusive evidence, and used this fact to block Zhao Dongcai's other attempts. At the same time, he pointed out that They have already asked Secretary Zeng of the Provincial Party Committee for instructions. In this way, Liu Qingyu's hint is very obvious. The actions taken by our Anti-Corruption Bureau have been confirmed by Secretary Zeng of the Provincial Party Committee. If you want to intervene, please You go directly to Secretary Zeng.

This is not only Liu Qingyu's Tai Chi push, but also Liu Qingyu's direct action of not giving Zhao Dongcai face.However, Liu Qingyu's tone of voice was very polite.

In Liu Qingyu's view, the relationship between him and Zhao Dongcai has long been at odds. He doesn't believe that Zhao Dongcai doesn't know about the many things he has experienced since he took office until now. Therefore, his respect for Zhao Dongcai is limited to him. His rank and position, other respects do not.On the contrary, for Secretary Zeng of the Provincial Party Committee, Liu Qingyu's respect came from the bottom of his heart, not only for Zeng Guohai's position and rank, but also for his character and official rank.

Hearing what Liu Qingyu said here, Zhao Dongcai could not understand Liu Qingyu's meaning. His face was gloomy, and there was faint anger in his eyes, but his tone had to be suppressed, and he said coldly: "Oh? You have already reported Have you written it?"

"Yes, it has been reported." Liu Qingyu said with certainty.

"Okay, since Secretary Zeng has already given instructions, I won't say anything more, but Liu Qingyu, let me remind you, I hope that your Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau must be more cautious and cautious in doing things, for our Tiandu Province , any department-level cadre is our very valuable human resource, and every department-level cadre has been tempered and tempered. For such a cadre, we must treat them in the principle of curing the disease and saving lives, and we must not grasp the slightest shortcoming of others As far as zooming in without limit, doing that would be irresponsible to our party members and cadres, and irresponsible to the profession of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. I hope that your Anti-Corruption Bureau must use your power carefully."

Although Zhao Dongcai's words were very tactful, the toughness inside and outside the words has been revealed without a doubt.

Liu Qingyu also heard a hint of other meanings from it. Liu Qingyu believed that if the anti-corruption bureau could not provide enough evidence to prove that Hou Yuqiang was guilty, then they would definitely face the strongest suppression from Zhao Dongcai. At that time, I am afraid that even Zeng Guohai may not be able to find a chance to help.

However, Liu Qingyu had already prepared for this, and Zeng Guohai also reminded himself.

Therefore, Liu Qingyu made a very clear statement: "Governor Zhao, please rest assured that our Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau is absolutely meticulous in everything we do. We will never wrong a good person, but we will never let a good person go. , no matter how strong this person’s background is, no matter how cunning he is, we will never let him go. The law is open, and it is not missing. I believe that under the background that our country is gradually improving the system of ruling the country according to law No one can get away with it, as long as he breaks the law, he must accept the severe punishment of the law!"

Speaking of this, Liu Qingyu added another sentence: "Governor Zhao, with all due respect, I don't agree with what you said just now that leading cadres at the department level should be dealt with according to the principle of curing diseases and saving lives. Whether it is a department-level cadre, a department-level or department-level cadre, or even a provincial or ministerial-level cadre, if he really violates the law, we must act according to the law. If a cadre reaches a certain level, we can follow your The so-called principle of curing diseases and saving lives is used to deal with and forgive, so what is the use of the law? I think that strictly acting according to the law is the principle that our party members and cadres must adhere to! I think that as long as the law is enforced and dealt with according to the law, then This is the real way to cure diseases and save lives! Tolerance and indulgence are not to cure diseases and save lives!"

provocative!This is definitely a provocation!
