Li Xiaoning was a little dazed. He didn't expect that the call was actually made by the Secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee Secretary. Could it be that the revelation on his Weibo alarmed the Provincial Party Secretary.

"It's not convenient for Mr. Li to come to Jinjiang," Fang Jingwen asked on the other end of the phone.

"What?" Li Xiaoning was still a little confused.

"Secretary Yuan wants to see you," Fang Jingwen said calmly on the other end of the phone.

"Now?" Li Xiaoning asked subconsciously.

"The sooner the better, we can arrange someone to pick up the plane," Fang Jingwen's tone was still calm, without any emotion.

"Let me think about it," Li Xiaoning said before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaoning couldn't calm down for a long time. He smoked a cigarette and thought hard. He felt that it was hard to say whether this was a blessing or a curse, and even if it was a disaster, he couldn't escape it. He simply sorted out the information. Then I told my mother, stepped on the bicycle and went straight to the station.

Li Xiaoning didn't take the plane because there was no suitable flight, but took the high-speed train to Jinjiang directly. On the way, he called Fang Jingwen and told him the train number.

Xinpi County is not far from Jinjiang, and the high-speed train is only two hours away. The sun had not yet set when we got off the bus. Fang Jingwen personally brought the car to pick up Li Xiaoning. The two met for the first time. After a few simple words, the car went straight to The provincial party committee went to the compound.

Yuan Kegong, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, was in a meeting. Fang Jingwen invited Li Xiaoning to the reception room, poured tea and left.

Li Xiaoning sat down with the mentality of "if you come, you will be safe", took out his mobile phone to surf the Internet, and looked at Weibo. The Internet public opinion is now overwhelmingly inclined to his side, and many people have released more evidence to prove that Qin Fengwu Corruption, perverting the law, rampant evil deeds in the village, not only that, but some revelations point to Lian Yu, Secretary of the Xinpi County Party Committee, and Qin Fengxiang, Executive Deputy Mayor of Pingchuan City, and even one or two posts are directly aimed at Long Tao, Party Secretary of Pingchuan City, and Jiang You, Mayor of Pingchuan City.

After a while, Fang Jingwen came over and said that Yuan Kegong had finished the meeting, so she took Li Xiaoning into the elevator and went up to the tenth floor. This floor is occupied by the secretary of the provincial party committee, the deputy secretary, the secretary general and their secretaries. He led Li Xiaoning into a spacious office.

Sitting behind the desk is a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s. He has a Chinese character face, is radiant, and is upright. Although he is not very tall, the aura formed by his long-term high position makes people dare not look directly at him.

"Secretary Yuan, here we come," Fang Jingwen stepped forward to report.

Yuan Kegong raised his head to look at Li Xiaoning and said, "You are Li Xiaoning who tweeted about the problems in Xinpi County."

"It's me," Li Xiaoning replied frankly.

Yuan Kegong sneered and said, "He's quite promising. He specializes in digging up negative news and sensitive events, hehe."

Yuan Kegong's sneer made Li Xiaoning feel uneasy for a while, but he calmed down immediately. He knew that if Yuan Kegong wanted to hold him accountable, there was no need to go to such lengths. It's not like crushing an ant to death.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoning immediately became calm, the incident has already happened, even begging for mercy is useless, it is better to fight with reason, maybe something can be saved, so instead of showing panic, he smiled and said: " Secretary Yuan, you are also on Weibo, "

Yuan Kegong was really testing Li Xiaoning. Seeing that he could talk and laugh freely in front of him, he couldn't help admiring the young man in his heart, so he let go of his smile and said, "Is it not possible? I registered an account a few years ago. But I seldom speak and have few fans, just my secretary and Comrade Fang Jingwen, "

Li Xiaoning didn't expect Yuan Kegong to be so approachable as a real official of the frontier, so he couldn't help but feel good about him, so he smiled and flattered him and said: "Although Secretary Yuan has few fans on Weibo, the fans in reality are There are many,"

Yuan Kegong laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be a sycophant."

Although these words were not good, but Li Xiaoning could tell that Yuan Kegong was in a good mood, which showed that he had a very good impression of him, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Yuan Kegong stopped his smile and asked again: "How true are the things you said on Weibo?"

Li Xiaoning knew that it was impossible for Yuan Kegong to care about the affairs of the mayor of the town. His thoughts must be more important. Although he didn't know what it was, he definitely wanted to use Qin Fengwu's affairs to make a fuss. , asked myself just to confirm it, and answered honestly: "I have experienced these things myself, and I can guarantee that they are all facts."

Yuan Kegong nodded and said: "I heard that you are also a mayor. If you expose these dark things, you are not afraid of discrediting the party and the government, and you are not afraid of being punished."

Li Xiaoning paused and said: "I think the image of the party and the government cannot be established by one or two things, nor can it be discredited by one or two things. There is something that should not be afraid of being exposed, because only the sun Where there is light, there will be no darkness and shadows. Although this manuscript is a bit like a hornet's nest, once it is published, many people will definitely feel pain, but..."

"But some people just need to be hurt. If they don't hurt, more people will hurt and even bleed." Yuan Kegong interrupted Li Xiaoning, and said seriously, "I want you to publish this manuscript in the newspaper with your real name, you dare you?"

"Dare, of course I dare," Li Xiaoning replied immediately.

"Okay," Yuan Kegong nodded, and said to Fang Jingwen, "Xiao Fang, take Xiao Li to Comrade Bai Yuqing and bring my opinion to him. This manuscript of Xiao Li can be published by Jiangnan Daily. But pay attention to these three points, first, discuss the matter as it stands, do not engage in extension, do not go online, do not discuss, and do not make insinuations; Don’t report it, and thirdly, the Propaganda Department must carefully control the direction of public opinion, so that it can be retracted freely.”

Fang Jingwen agreed, and took Li Xiaoning out of the secretary's office, and walked towards the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. The Propaganda Department was actually in the Provincial Party Committee compound, only two buildings away from the Provincial Party Committee Office, 200 meters away.

When Bai Yuqing, the head of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, saw Fang Jingwen coming in, he immediately stepped forward to shake hands with him warmly, and said, "The No. Yuan Kegong, the old minister, is already in his sixties, and it should be pushed to the National People's Congress of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference for retirement, but the newcomer Yuan Kegong is not in a hurry to form his own team, so he is still in his current position. Seeing Fang Jingwen naturally seems relatively polite.

Bai Yuqing could joke with Fang Jingwen, but Fang Jingwen didn't dare to take it calmly, and hurriedly said: "Chief, don't make fun of me, if someone overhears, I will probably be the secretary to the end."

Bai Yuqing laughed and pulled Fang Jingwen to sit down. A secretary had already come in to make tea, and then backed out.

Only then did Bai Yuqing ask: "Jingwen, what's the matter?"

Fang Jingwen handed over the manuscript of Li Xiaoning that had been typed out in advance, and said, "The boss asked me to deliver this to you, oh, this is the original author, Li Xiaoning, who is from Caoqiao Town, and is now the mayor of Jiangdong Province. ,"

Bai Yuqing glanced at Li Xiaoning, did not say hello, but lowered his head and flipped through the manuscript by himself, and when he raised his head again, his face became serious, "What does the boss mean?"

Hearing Bai Yuqing's address to Yuan Kegong, Li Xiaoning smiled slightly in his heart. Fang Jingwen called Yuan Kegong the boss, which is understandable, but Bai Yuqinggui, the propaganda minister and member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, actually called Yuan Kegong the boss, which is worth pondering. Minister Bai is waving an olive branch to Yuan Kegong, and the meaning of seeking refuge is obvious.

Fang Jingwen could hear it naturally, but he didn't show it on his face, but mechanically recounted Yuan Kegong's original words completely.

Bai Yuqing thought for a while, tapped one finger on the armrest of the sofa in front of him, thinking.

According to Li Xiaoning's understanding, Yuan Kegong's three instructions were very clear and bureaucratic. Negative reports, even if they are released, will not have much impact, not to mention that the secretary of the provincial party committee personally agreed to release them, but why does the propaganda minister have a very difficult expression? Is there something more hidden behind this? big impact.

After a long time, Bai Yuqing asked Fang Jingwen: "Jingwen, let's leave the boss's opinion aside, tell me your opinion, okay?"

Fang Jingwen laughed and said, "I have no opinion, what can I say?"

Bai Yuqing curled his lips and said, "Jingwen, don't treat me as a friend, don't you, and don't tell me the truth,"

Fang Jingwen paused for a moment and said: "Chief, look at what you said. I am just a secretary. My duty is to convey the words of the chief. The secretary is the setter. I shouldn't think about it, and I shouldn't say it."

"I understand your difficulties," Bai Yuqing said with a sigh, "but you also need to understand my difficulties. Once such an article is published, it must be dealt with. This is a matter that affects the whole body. It is tantamount to declaring war on those people in Pingchuan. You must know who their backers are. Confrontation requires strength. If strength is not enough, if you choose to confront rashly, you may burn yourself..."

"Cough cough cough..." Fang Jingwen's series of coughs interrupted Bai Yuqing's words, "Chief, you think too much."

Li Xiaoning naturally understood that the reason why Fang Jingwen interrupted Bai Yuqing was entirely because he didn't want to let him hear secrets that he shouldn't know. It seemed that he was unknowingly involved in the power vortex of Jiangnan Province, and was used as a gun He doesn't mind being used as a gun, but he doesn't want to be confused if he is used as a gun. Fortunately, Bai Yuqing's words just now made him guess something, so he took the initiative to say: "You two Leader, can I say a few words, "
