In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

"Secretary Ruijin, I'm so sorry."

Liu Changsheng comfortably took the other person's hand at the meeting room door and apologized, "The matter of proposing to convene an expanded meeting of the Standing Committee was urgent, and I forgot to explain the reason to Secretary Xiaobai."

Then say it now!

The gerbil poison was speechless.

"There are too many people and too much attention in Ruijin right now, so we'll discuss this directly at our meeting."

Liu Changsheng was like a tapeworm in his stomach, constantly coming up with all sorts of shameless excuses, but never saying anything useful.

"Okay, let's have a meeting first."

Sha Ruijin and Tong Li exchanged a glance and responded with smiles.

Ha ha!

If you don't tell us, do you think we can't guess?

The meeting room was unusually empty today. Lin Zhiyuan and Fang Denggao had just left, Yang Wanli was far away in Luzhou and could not possibly come, and Wu Chunlin had disappeared again.

Gerbillon is in a good mood.

These are all people from the provincial government system; in other words, Shajiabang has received an epic boost.

With my general Tong Li seeing through your schemes and with the help of two heroes, how could I possibly lose this battle?

He was secretly pleased with himself as he thought about the gerbil poison.

"Governor Changsheng, you need to explain the theme of this Standing Committee meeting to the comrades."

Sha Ruijin relinquished control to Liu Changsheng.

"Secretary Ruijin, comrades."

Liu Changsheng spoke up without hesitation, "This expanded meeting of the Standing Committee is because the Supervision Department received an anonymous report. However, since the person being reported is not part of the government staff, I immediately sought verification from the person's superior."

"It was discovered that this individual was undergoing a resignation interview, and that their superiors had also received the whistleblower's report."

Liu Changsheng didn't give anyone else time to react, and directly called out, "Secretary Yu Liang, Chief Prosecutor Ji, please tell us the situation."

Pan Lin, Wen Yiyan, and Shen Shanhe, who were unaware of the situation, all stared at them intently.

Good guy!

Ji Changming, you old bastard, you actually tried to run away before being reported.

Wait, something's not right!

Why are you all so calm? Good grief, only the three of us are Mongolians.

I'm done playing!

"Comrade Ji Changming? As the Chief Prosecutor and Party Secretary of the Provincial Procuratorate, and a vice-ministerial level official, shouldn't the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection initiate the process and report to the higher-level Commission for Discipline Inspection for handling?"

Pan Lin couldn't stand this injustice and went straight to the point.

"According to feedback from the Supervision Department and Comrade Tianhen, the whistleblower had submitted the report materials to the Procuratorate and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection a long time ago, but had not received any feedback, so he sent them to the Supervision Department and the Political and Legal Affairs Commission instead."

Liu Changsheng replied.

Tian Guofu was slightly taken aback.

That's not right. He did get the recording of the report against Ji Changming, but it was given to him by Lü Liang!

The provincial discipline inspection commission did not receive a second report.

The difference in words can lead to completely different results, and he simply cannot refute it.

The latter involves issues of laziness, negligence, and even cover-ups within the provincial discipline inspection commission.

"Secretary Tian, ​​oh Secretary Tian!"

Wen Yiyan spoke coolly, "Why is it your provincial discipline inspection commission again? So it's not that you can't find out about the big corrupt officials, it's that you're illegally protecting them!"

"I…"

Just as Tian Guofu was about to speak in defense, Liu Changsheng interrupted him, saying, "Everyone knows the problems with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. We won't discuss them today. We'll only talk about Comrade Ji Changming's personal issues."

How many farts are there?!

Tian Guofu was filled with grief and indignation.

He realized that being criticized and belittled had become a regular feature of every Standing Committee meeting.

and…

He's so powerful that anyone can kick him while he's down.

This group of people really wanted to kill him!

Secretary Sha, please open your eyes and take a good look! A hall full of treacherous officials! Quickly! Save your dear little Tian Tian!

Sha Ruijin pretended not to see it.

Tian Guofu is no longer important to him. He's just a useless nobody who's good for nothing. As long as he's not completely destroyed by the provincial government faction, that's fine.

Share the firepower.

That's your only value, Tian Guofu.

But the rat poison still clenched its left fist. Something was wrong with the current situation. Why would Ji Changming resign?

Moreover, according to Tong Li's analysis...

The provincial government faction's attack on Ji Changming should have come much earlier than Hou Liangping's actions, which would have involved the banking system or the core interests of local factions.

The grizzly man couldn't help but glance at his trusted general; in this huge conference room, only Tong Li could offer him any warmth.

Tong Li remained calm and composed, his attitude clear:

Respond to all changes with constancy, and act at the right time.

Having worked together for many years, the two instantly understood the meaning of the rat poison, putting their minds at ease once again.

"Governor Changsheng, what are the materials in the report? Can their authenticity be verified? Comrade Ji Changming, what mistake have you made this time?"

Sha Ruijin spoke up, pushing the process forward.

"The whistleblower's materials consisted of a voice recorder."

Liu Changsheng released the recording, stating, "It has been authenticated by the provincial department and shows no signs of editing or modification. We have also conducted a sound source comparison to confirm that the identities of the two individuals involved in the recording are accurate."

"One of them is Comrade Ji Changming."

"The other one is Comrade Yao Xinyi, a retired judge of the Provincial High Court. She is the mother of Lu Yike, the director of the First Investigation Division of the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau mentioned in the recording, and also the sister-in-law of our Secretary Gao."

"Yao Xinyi and Professor Wu are cousins."

Gao Yuliang corrected him.

A difference of just one word can lead to drastically different relationships.

But that doesn't make sense either!

Pan Lin and Wen Yiyan exchanged a glance, but seeing that Liu Changsheng didn't say anything more, they simply didn't ask.

Shen Shanhe: ?

It's supposed to be a game for three, but you two didn't include me.

hateful!

The meeting room fell silent instantly. To be honest, Ji Changming admitted that it wasn't a big problem to appropriately protect Lu Yike, but the trouble was that the report was filed during the provincial procuratorate's audit period.

The former head of the anti-corruption bureau was just removed from office for abusing his power for personal gain.

Whether Lu Yike, a key figure in the anti-corruption bureau, was involved has become a mystery.

"Dear leaders, I apologize."

Ji Changming's face was full of bitterness. He had not escaped the iron fist of punishment after all, but there was also a hint of relief that the dust had settled. "Lu Yike's mother, Yao Xinyi, is my senior. She gave me a lot of help and guidance in the early stages of my career."

"So when she asked me for help, I also had the selfish motive of protecting young cadres. Through an internal meeting, I completely removed Lu Yike from the list of innocent people without any clear evidence."

Gee!

How can the art of speaking, personal interests, and the protection of young cadres be combined? No wonder he's known as the "non-stick pan" and "old fox" of Handong.

"Chief Prosecutor Ji, is there any evidence to clearly prove that Lu Yike was involved in Chen Hai's case?"

Tong Li spoke up.

But it wasn't to win over Ji Changming and Gao Yuliang; it was purely something the provincial government faction wanted to do, and he wanted to get involved.

and…

Asking questions that are reasonable and within the rules, and acting with discretion, will never put you in a passive position because of what you say.

"no."

Ji Changming nodded and quickly said, "That's precisely why I saved him."

"That's within the rules, isn't it?"

Tong Li laughed and said, "After all, our country and organization have always adhered to the principle of 'presumption of innocence' to avoid being falsely accused by bad elements. Otherwise, how can our cadres carry out their work?"

dong dong!

At that moment, Liu Changsheng tapped on the table, drawing everyone's attention.
