Zhou Yihong finished reading the report with a dark face. He raised his head and glared at Ma Yuanchi, suppressing his anger as he asked, "Comrade Yuanchi, what do you think of this report?"
Ma Yuanchi saw that Zhou Yihong's expression wasn't good and his heart was pounding, but he still forced himself to answer, "Secretary Zhou, I've read this report in detail. I feel that the investigation is relatively clear and the evidence is relatively complete. It doesn't favor any side and the conclusion is based on the facts and evidence. It should be relatively objective and fair."
Zhou Yihong saw that Ma Yuanchi's eyes were evasive when he said this and knew that he was guilty. He also guessed that Ma Yuanchi wanted to help Li Xuzhong pass this trial. Zhou Yihong's anger grew and he wanted to reprimand Ma Yuanchi, but he changed his mind. He didn't have a firm foothold in Songshan yet and his relationships were complicated and sensitive. He also didn't know Ma Yuanchi well enough, so he didn't know his background and personality. It was best not to offend him for now.
Therefore, he suppressed the anger in his heart and asked coldly, "Comrade Yuanchi, according to the conclusion of this investigation report, the two comrades from the Taolin County Public Security Bureau who led the team to arrest the gamblers committed serious violations of the law. What do you plan to do with them next?"
Ma Yuanchi hurriedly said, "Secretary Zhou, here's what I think. Although He Ying and Huang Chong were guilty of assaulting a law enforcement officer and using a gun against the law, there was a reason for it. He Ying only started the assault after being insulted by the law enforcement officer. Huang Chong was also forced to fire a warning shot because he was facing violent resistance and the situation might get out of control. Although he accidentally injured someone, it was excusable. I just called Li Xuzhong and suggested that the Taolin County Public Security Bureau criticize and educate these two officers and not punish them further. "
Zhou Yihong saw that Ma Yuanchi had taken a step back and stopped pursuing He Ying and Huang Chong, so he couldn't say anything more. He nodded slightly and pointed at the teacup in front of Ma Yuanchi, "We've talked for so long. Have some tea!"
Ma Yuanchi knew that the reason he wanted him to drink tea was to "send off the guest". He hurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then, he tactfully stood up and left.
Zhou Yihong looked at the door thoughtfully. After a while, he picked up the private phone on the table and called He Ying.
"Xiao Ying, the City Public Security Bureau's investigation report is out. As I expected, this is a disgraceful conclusion that inverts black and white. On the one hand, it confirms that you and that Comrade Huang beat up law enforcement officers and illegally used guns. On the other hand, it denies your accusations against Li Xuzhong and O 'Neal Hotel on the grounds of insufficient evidence. However, Ma Yuanchi just said that he would advise the Taolin County Public Security Bureau not to punish you and the other comrade — "
Just as he said this, He Ying asked angrily, "You agree with Ma Yuanchi? Didn't I tell you? Ma Yuanchi and Li Xuzhong were wearing the same pair of pants. He was Li Xuzhong's backer and protection. When you ordered the Municipal Public Security Bureau to investigate this case, it was a mistake in your decision. You should have arranged for the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate this case. Li Xuzhong's suggestion to you now is obviously to protect and protect Li Xuzhong. I firmly disagree. "
Zhou Yihong patiently advised, "Xiao Ying, I told you a long time ago that the political environment in Songshan is bad. All kinds of forces are complicated and sensitive. Many of the corruption in the officialdom are like a pool of muddy water. Now that I have one foot in this pool of muddy water, I need to be careful everywhere I go. Otherwise, it is very likely that I will drown in this pool of muddy water.
"Take Li Xuzhong as an example. When I ordered the Municipal Public Security Bureau to investigate him last week, I received a call from Luo Qiulin, the Secretary of the Taolin County Committee. He tried his best to defend Li Xuzhong. He said that Li Xuzhong had the ability and courage to make outstanding contributions to the comprehensive management and social stability of Taolin County. He hoped that the Municipal Committee would not believe the rumors and investigate him.
"On Monday morning, Comrade Li Haiping also mentioned Li Xuzhong's problem when he reported to me about the recent important work arrangements of the municipal government. He said that he understood Li Xuzhong well. Although Li Xuzhong had some small problems, he was still a good comrade with good ability and integrity. He shouldn't make mistakes when it comes to matters of principle, and it is impossible for him to act as a protective umbrella for the underworld. He suggested that I treat this problem seriously.
"Xiao Ying, think about it carefully. So far, Mayor Li Haiping, Deputy Mayor and Director of the Public Security Bureau Ma Yuanchi, and Secretary of the Taolin County Committee Luo Qiulin are the ones who have spoken up for Li Xuzhong. This is only the beginning of the investigation. If I seriously want to deal with Li Xuzhong in the future, who knows what kind of important people will speak up for him.
"The most important point is that Li Haiping is a bit unconvinced by me, who was transferred here from another city. He wants to use the small circle he has painstakingly built over the years to fight against me, the Secretary. And I am new here, so I haven't established my authority in the Municipal Committee yet. Most of the members are still hesitating. It is not good for them to stand between me and Li Haiping. Therefore, even if I order the Municipal Committee for Discipline Inspection to investigate Li Xuzhong, it would be difficult for this matter to be passed if it was put to the Municipal Committee for Discipline Inspection. "
He Ying knew that Zhou Yihong was in a difficult position, but she couldn't take it lying down. She said angrily: "You are the Secretary of the Municipal Committee. Are you just going to watch them bully me? Li Xuzhong and Li Weijun are clearly two big corrupt people. Are you just going to let them get away with it? If you can't even do such a small thing, then there is no need for you to be the Secretary of the Municipal Committee. You should resign and go back to the provincial capital to take care of your wife and children! "
Zhou Yihong said with a bitter smile: "Xiao Ying, can you not be so willful? Being the Secretary of the Municipal Committee is not as easy as you think. It also doesn't have the absolute authority that you think you have. You have to understand that authority is not completely determined by one's identity, position, and status. Instead, it is built on the basis of having a certain amount of authority. It is formed through the display of one's personal charisma, leadership level, and battle strategy to convince subordinates wholeheartedly over time.
