Provincial Party Secretary

Chapter 28
When Chen Yuanbin got the news, he was so angry that his seven orifices were smoking.Gao Tianpeng shook his lips and talked about the situation in an emphatic way.This is exactly what Gao Tianpeng can't tolerate the most. The president of a prefectural city court can ignore the instructions of his provincial party committee secretary. How can he lead the cadres of the whole province in the future?So, he said angrily to Chen Yuanbin: "This is a typical leader without party discipline. You should check it out and find out what's going on. You must deal with it seriously!" Chen Yuanbin received Gao Tianpeng's order, which is equivalent to getting Shangfang sword.So, without making a phone call, he drove directly to the city court to question Mr. Ji Gangxing.

Hearing that Chen Yuanbin came to kill him, Ji Gang became more certain of his thoughts and inferences.He met this mighty figure in the reception room as if nothing had happened.He still had a Maitreya-like smile on his face, held his hand and said, "Welcome Director Chen to inspect the work of our hospital!"

Faced with Ji Gang's composure, Chen Yuanbin felt that he was too impulsive and out of style, so he turned his anger into a smile and said, "I dare not talk about the word inspection. I'm just entrusted by someone to learn about the situation, and I'm sorry to bother you." work, please forgive me."

"Where, where." Ji Gang saw that Chen Yuanbin's attitude changed so quickly at this moment, and he couldn't help but marvel at how extraordinary this person is. "It's my job to provide reports to the superior party committee, so why bother? I don't know." I'm not prepared for what kind of situation Director Chen wants to know. Why don't you ask a few comrades who are doing specific business to talk about it?"

"No, let's talk about it." Chen Yuanbin waved his hands and said, "Secretary Gao of the Provincial Party Committee attaches great importance to the case of Ren Liang's false accusation, and personally issued instructions. I don't know why the court did not file the case? Secretary Gao asked me to ask what happened. .”

"The court dismissed the prosecution completely in accordance with judicial procedures. After several collective discussions, it was agreed that the criminal facts charged in the public prosecution were not accurate enough, and the evidence was insufficient. Even if the case was filed and the trial was held, it would be difficult to convict Ren Liang."

"What's the reason?"

"First, Ren Liang reported the economic problems of cadres to the higher-level discipline inspection and procuratorial departments. There are conflicts in characterization. Second, the discipline inspection department and the procuratorate did not come up with convincing investigation results on the clues and cases listed by Ren Liang, and only made the conclusion that "after investigation, no problems were found", which cannot be used as the conviction of the defendant. Third, there is a tendency in the litigation materials to substitute inferences for evidence, such as the determination that Ren Liang wrote the first few report letters signed by "conscience". Their basis is: Ren Liang's report letters It is a subjective assumption rather than factual evidence that the previous letter was written by him because he said the word "retaliation". In legal proceedings, "maybe" cannot replace the facts. Based on the above three reasons, this The court unanimously held that Ren Liang's actions did not constitute a crime."

"Dean Ji, this is a case personally approved by Secretary Gao. If you are so stubborn and Secretary Gao loses his temper, you should know the consequences. What's more, everyone knows about your relationship with Ren Liang."

"Yes, Ren Liang and I are fellow villagers and friends. This is an indelible fact. In this case, I can apply for recusal. I know that Secretary Gao has always been strict with his subordinates, and he does not punish and criticize subordinates who violate discipline. No mercy. We are also very grateful to Secretary Gao for caring about the trial work of the court. But this matter is very difficult. It is not that I am not accommodating, but that the legal process is ruthless. If the leaders think that I am incompetent as the dean, they can convene a people's meeting to remove me. , can also transfer me out of the court system."

Chen Yuanbin hit another soft nail and was a little discouraged.He originally wanted to overwhelm Ji Gang first, and then move Gao Tianpeng out. At the same time, he sent an "imperial decree" saying that Gao Tianpeng asked him to investigate the case.Unexpectedly, Ji Gang refused to take the hard way, and couldn't help getting angry, saying: "Okay, I told you the consequences, so don't regret it then."

"I won't regret it. What regrets doing things according to the law?"

Chen Yuanbin walked out of Ji Gang's office angrily.

Back at the Provincial Party Committee, Gao Tianpeng was losing his temper.Gao Tianpeng was also angry because Ren Liang's case was dismissed by the court.He is not like Chen Yuanbin, who cares about whether Ren Liang will be overwhelmed, but because his instructions have not received the desired effect.It is intolerable for a president of a court not to take his instructions seriously, and for his authority to be flouted.When Chen Yuanbin saw this, he was overjoyed and said, "Secretary Gao, that Ji Gang has ruled the Linzhou Court to such an extent that the water can't get in. He wants to build an independent kingdom."

"Water can't get in, you can pry it!" Gao Tianpeng was still very angry, "In Province F, leaders who ignore party discipline are never allowed, and things that override party discipline and state laws are never allowed to happen."

"However, Ji Gang said that the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee's instructions are a piece of waste paper before the law." Chen Yuanbin added fuel to the flames, "He also said that he is an official elected by the National People's Congress, not an official appointed by any leader. What to do with him, It must be removed through the National People's Congress, but it is still unknown whether the people's representatives will raise their hands."

"The National People's Congress is also a people's congress under the leadership of the party, isn't it Ji Gang's National People's Congress. I don't believe that he can't shave his thorny head!"

"This thorny head should have been shaved long ago!"

"Are you finished?" Gao Tianpeng suddenly lost his temper with Chen Yuanbin, "A secretary should not use his emotions to interfere with the decision-making of the leader, you know that?"

"Ah, I see..."

Chen Yuanbin exited Gao Tianpeng's office uninterestedly.However, he was happy in his heart, as long as Gao Tianpeng got angry and got serious, Ji Gang would have no good fruit to eat.

After calm thinking, Gao Tianpeng did not put any further pressure on Ji Gang. If he used his power to violently interfere with the judicial process, he might have a bad influence on himself and make the matter worse. Instead, he would help Ren Liang and be detrimental to Chen Yuanbin.As Ji Gang himself said, he is the president of the court, an official elected by the deputies to the National People's Congress, not appointed by his provincial party secretary. There must be a strong reason to replace him.

In this way, the Municipal Procuratorate returned the case to the Public Security Bureau. According to Chen Yuanbin's order, the Municipal Public Security Bureau sentenced Ren Liang to two years of reeducation through labor...

After Ren Liang was sent to the labor camp, Tao Qi began a long journey of appealing.I don't know how many complaints were sent to the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Provincial Public Security Bureau, but they all fell into the sea without hearing anything.She complained to the Municipal People's Congress and the Provincial People's Congress, but to no avail.In the end, she decided to go through the procedure of suspension without pay and go to Beijing to appeal for grievances. Even if she risked her life, she would make her husband get justice and justice.

It's impossible for Tao Qi to know that another strange thing happened in province F.A person signed "Conscience" sent a letter expressing grievances for Ren Liang to the Provincial Party Committee, the National People's Congress, Gao Tianpeng and other relevant departments.After reading the letter, Gao Tianpeng couldn't help being furious, thinking that there was a backstage behind Ren Liang, so he ordered to track down Ren Liang's "black backstage".Chen Yuanbin danced with excitement.The first thing he thought of as Ren Liang's "black background" was most likely Lin Jiayu who resigned from office to study.Although Lin Jiayu resigned from the official position, she has been using her prestige and special status to influence the work in the province.If Lin Jiayu's "ambition" is allowed to succeed, Chen Yuanbin will have a hard time living.

Coincidentally, a very important person in Linzhou City also received a letter from "conscience".

This man was Ju Lingran, an old man in his eighties, who lived in Villa No. 9 of the Provincial Cadres' Retirement Center.

Ju is always a retired veteran cadre.It was the predecessor of Gao Tianpeng's predecessor. When Gao Tianpeng was the deputy governor, it was Mr. Ju who was the secretary of the provincial party committee.Ju Lingran was a veteran cadre who participated in the revolution during the Anti-Japanese War. He fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders in the forest, sea and snowfields of Northeast China when he was more than ten years old.After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he joined the Northeast People's Liberation Army as an anti-Japanese guerrilla captain. From the Liaoshen Campaign to the liberation of Hainan Island, he almost participated in the entire process of the Liberation War. battle hero.After the liberation of the whole country, he participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea as the political commissar of the regiment. After returning to China, he was promoted to the political commissar of the division and transferred to the F province for garrison. In the 60s, he switched jobs to work in the local area. From a regional commissioner, he worked all the way up, and finally became the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Province F before retiring with honor.

Ju Lingran's cultural level is not very high, but he is open-minded and open-minded, with a bold personality and hates evil, especially in supporting the underachievers and employing talents without sticking to one pattern, he is well-known inside and outside the party in the whole province.As one of the few meritorious and retired provincial party committee secretaries, every year during the Spring Festival, he will be honored to be visited by his superiors.After retiring, he lived with his son Ju Zhengqing, who is a writer, and his family, and the four generations live together happily.Therefore, he lived in seclusion, and at the appointment of the publishing house, with the help of the writer's son Ju Zhengqing, he began to write his memoirs.He told people with relief that when the memoir came out, he took a complete rest.

One day at noon, Ju Zhengqing came back from a creative symposium and took out a letter from his home mailbox.The letter was written to Ju Lao, and the words on the cover were printed on a computer.Ju always thought that those cultural institutions that published the "Who's Who" invited him to enter the "Course", he smiled, and wanted to tear up the letter. Usually, as long as he heard that it was a letter such as "Entry into the Code", he would order other letters to be included in the "Course". Torn up and burned, what Ju Lao hated all his life is people and things that bluff and deceive for personal gain, and seek fame and wealth.But when he was about to tear up the letter, he realized that the letter didn't look like the kind of "exhortation to enter the canon", and the return address wrote "a righteous person".Surprised, he took it apart and read it.It turned out to be a distress letter written to him by a person signed "conscience". The letter detailed the misdeeds of Gao Tianpeng's secretary Chen Yuanbin and Gao Tianpeng's invisible protection behavior.What's even more outrageous is that Chen Yuanbin and his like have made up crimes and sent Comrade Ren Liang, a good cadre and a good scientific and technological personnel who is loyal to the party and the people and works hard for the country, but ashamed to work with them, into prison... Speaking of In the end, he wrote very indignantly: "Old Ju, you are a respected old leader, and your words are very important. I hope you will put the interests of the party and the people first, and come out to talk to Comrade Gao Tianpeng. Talk, please take good care of the people around you, Secretary Gao, and at the same time say a few words of justice for Comrade Ren Liang. If you still have doubts about me, you can go to Comrade Ren Liang's house to see, or you can go to Lin's house Yu, Ji Gang and other comrades with a sense of justice should understand the situation. Please, old man Ju! Thinking that God has the virtue of being good at life, I can please move you..."

With a "snap", Ju Lao's big hands slapped the table heavily together with Xin.His broad, dark face flushed red, his lips trembled, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "It's okay, is the Communist Party still ruling the world? I want to take care of it, and I'll take care of this nosy business!"

"Dad, what's the matter?" Ju Zhengqing asked in surprise.

"Call a car, you accompany me outside for a walk!"

"Where are you going, Dad?"

"Don't worry, just follow me!"

The son didn't dare to disobey his father's order, so he hurried to get a car and accompanied the old man out of the rest house.

Ju Lingran and his son arrived at Ren Liang's house first, and Tao Qi welcomed them into the house.This afternoon, she had no class, so she stayed at home to write a letter of appeal. She planned to write to the relevant higher authorities for help.After writing the appeal letter, he wrote to his son Wen Yi in Guangzhou.Originally, she had kept Ren Liang's imprisonment from her son, because his son had done a good job there, and she was afraid that Wen Yi would be uneasy and miss her career if she knew about it.However, a few days ago, Wen Yi learned the news from a classmate and called back to inquire, so Tao Qi had no choice but to tell Wen Yi the truth.Wen Yi became anxious when he heard this, and immediately expressed that he would resign with Feilin and go home to help his parents tide over the difficulties.Tao Qi was in a hurry. She felt that Wen Yi's return would not only be of no help, but would actually add to her confusion and worry.Although she had persuaded her son on the phone, she was still worried, fearing that the young man would be impulsive and would change his mind and run back.So I decided to write him another letter.After writing the letter, sealing it, affixing enough stamps, and just about to go out to post it, Ju Lingran and his son entered the house.When she found out Ju Lingran's identity and learned that Ju always came to complain for her husband, she couldn't help crying like rain, and burst into tears.Ju Lingran comforted her and said: "Don't cry, be strong, tell me the real situation, tell me the truth, tell me what's right, say what's right, say what's wrong, don't hide, don't exaggerate the facts. As long as you are right, I will sue you!"

"Old Ju..."

With tears in his eyes, Tao Qi told all the details of the incident. After speaking, he promised: "Old Ju, if there is half a lie, I am willing to take legal responsibility!" Putting his right index finger into his mouth, he bit it with a bang, and wrote a line of blood on a piece of white paper: "What I told Mr. Ju is true, and if there is any falsehood, I will be punished by any means! Tao Qi." Ju Lingran Holding the blood book in his hand, he trembled all over.He asked Tao Qi for some written materials, comforted her a few words, got up and left.

After bidding farewell to Tao Qi, Ju Lingran and his son visited Ji Gang and Lin Jiayu respectively.Ji Gang reported the case truthfully with a smile.Lin Jiayu, on the other hand, seemed a little worried, as if she had something to hide, and she didn't speak for a long time.Lin Jiayu was a seedling he was very optimistic about back then. He was knowledgeable, had many working experiences, was honest and honest, had courage in his work, thoughtful, and understood economics.So he was promoted to be the Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee, and later served as the Deputy Secretary. Unexpectedly, after he resigned due to setbacks, he became so hesitant and cowardly.

"Have you been terrified by the intimidation? Want to be a deserter? Even if you cut off your head, there will only be a scar the size of a bowl. You look like a bear. If you were in wartime, I would have killed you with one shot!"

"Old secretary, I'm worried..."

"You are worried about their revenge and power, aren't you? But let me tell you, the Communist Party is the party of the people of the whole country, not anyone's party. Who dares to ride on the head of the party to domineering and shit, even if he It’s the emperor, I’m going to take him down and drive him out of the Communist Party!”

"Old Ju, what Ren Liang reported is true to what you know. As for Chen Yuanbin and others, I don't know too much. I think it's better to sort out the clues and write a written opinion for you."

"Okay, this is what a man should do! Tell me about Gao Tianpeng's situation."

"I have worked with Comrade Gao Tianpeng for several years, and I can be sure that he himself has not committed any illegal acts. His biggest problem is that he has a strong desire for power and a strong personal will, which leads to a little overjoyed. On the issue of Chen Yuanbin and his son, he is It should be responsible. It is not a cover-up, at least it is indulgence and dereliction of duty."

"It's not good to be so forthright earlier, why bother to be scolded like that!" Ju Lingran smiled.But immediately became serious again, "Hey, you seem to have something on your mind."

"Yes, I can't tell lies in front of the old leader. I am facing an important decision."

"What choice can make it difficult for you, a great talent?"

"The Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China came to talk to me and asked me to be the executive deputy governor, in charge of the province's economic work."

"You promised?"

"not yet."

"why?"

"I thought about it for a long time, and felt very embarrassed. My concept is different from that of Comrade Gao Tianpeng, and I don't work in harmony. Rather than causing discord in the team because of my position, it is better to be professional. Actually, my ambition is not in the officialdom. And professionally."

"This is why you hesitated to speak just now? Bullshit!" Ju Lingran categorically denied Lin Jiayu's point of view, "You think your superiors want you to be an official and a master? You are wrong. They have high hopes for you. Those who want to be an official can There is a long queue, why do the higher-ups want you to be this official? You have different ideas, you can argue, you can work together to seek unity, and if people don’t unite with you, you can unite with others. Whoever violates the party’s discipline, you stand up and fight. I didn’t say that the Communist Party is the party of the proletariat, not anyone’s party. If you are a professional, if the party and the country are destroyed by those corrupt elements, will you still have your professional? Will the professional you created still be useful? ? You are a member of the Communist Party, so you must consciously take responsibility. Do you know? Not only are you an expert, you are also a member of the Communist Party!"

After being taught a lesson by the old secretary, Lin Jiayu calmed down a lot and spoke fluently and frankly.Ju Lingran talked with Lin Jiayu about some matters that he cared about, and then got up to leave. Lin Jiayu knew his temper and didn't want to keep him. She put him in the car and waved goodbye.Ju Lingran came out of Lin Jiayu's office and asked Ju Zhengqing to go home first, while he ordered the driver to drive the car directly into the provincial party committee compound.He boarded the office of the secretary of the provincial party committee on the third floor and broke in.

Gao Tianpeng was at his desk reading the documents sent by Chen Yuanbin when he suddenly heard someone break into the door. He looked up and saw Ju Lingran standing in front of him. hand, helped him to sit on the sofa.Said: "Old secretary, I don't even say hello when I come, so I can go to greet you. Please sit down, I will ask the secretary to pour tea..."

"No." Ju Lingran stared at Gao Tianpeng with piercing eyes, "No need. Comrade Gao Tianpeng, I want to talk to you alone."

"Okay, I've always wanted to visit you and listen to your teachings, but I was too busy with work, so I never went."

"I didn't come here today to say good things, so I'll tell you straight, what's the matter with your secretary being called the 'Second Secretary'? And what's the matter with Ren Liang, the engineering director of the Linzhou Construction Committee, who is in jail? "

"This..." Facing the aggressive old secretary, Gao Tianpeng felt a little nervous, and he had to say carefully, "There are some things I don't quite understand. I just heard about Ren Liang. Confess to the following strict review."

"Comrade Gao Tianpeng, I am not in this position, and I should not seek political power, but as a member of the Communist Party, I cannot stand idly by. To tell you something from the bottom of my heart, as senior cadres, we can only work on behalf of the party and serve the people. For welfare, I have no right to regard myself as the embodiment of the party. Otherwise, I will make mistakes and fall down. I am old, and I don’t want to see any comrades make mistakes and fall down in my lifetime!”

"Old Secretary, your teachings will be engraved in my heart, and I will never forget..."

"Okay, it's useless to say more, how to do it, you can figure it out for yourself, I should go back!"
