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

"Comrades!"

"Secretary Qin Siyuan will be taking over the reins of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Everyone should cooperate well in the relevant work."

Lin Zhiyuan gave a brief introduction.

The appointment from higher authorities has been made, but the inauguration ceremony has not yet been held, so it cannot be considered an official start of office. Therefore, only the main leaders of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the five major systems have been notified to come.

Luo Mu, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Wu Tian, ​​Secretary-General, Qi Tongwei, Director of the Provincial Public Security Department and Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Zhang Guofeng, Chief Prosecutor of the Provincial Procuratorate, Zeng Jia, President of the Provincial Higher People's Court, Wei Xiang, Director of the Provincial Department of Justice, and Qi Feng, Director of the Provincial Long'an Department, were all present to welcome them.

Qin Siyuan met them one by one, and his gaze finally settled on Zhang Guofeng. The two smiled at each other. As cadres from the Supreme People's Procuratorate who had been transferred to local areas, they were old acquaintances.

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Qin Siyuan's uneasy heart finally found some peace.

But he didn't talk much.

After a brief greeting, he told everyone to go back to their normal work, as he was unfamiliar with the area and it wasn't the best time for him to start his work.

"Secretary Siyuan, have arrangements been made for your secretary, driver, and accommodation?"

After arriving at the office.

Lin Zhiyuan asked casually.

"Secretary and driver, Secretary-General Tong is already personally helping me select suitable people. As for accommodation, the guesthouse is very convenient. It's not too late to move into the provincial party committee's family compound after I officially take office."

Qin Siyuan replied.

Having chosen to align himself with Lin Zhiyuan, he made no attempt to conceal his intentions regarding personnel arrangements.

"As for the position of Executive Deputy Secretary, I don't have a suitable candidate at the moment."

Qin Siyuan frowned slightly and pondered, "Right now, the only suitable candidate to succeed him is Comrade Luo Mu. On the one hand, I am not familiar with Comrade Luo Mu, and on the other hand, I have seen Comrade Luo Mu's resume. He was promoted after the former deputy secretary, Comrade Li Daxun, was transferred to the position of secretary of the Lincheng Municipal Party Committee. He has been promoted for less than a year, so he is not qualified enough."

to be honest.

He didn't trust Luo Mu. Luo Mu was someone Gao Yuliang had promoted, and he didn't want to use him. But Luo Mu's words were reasonable and well-founded, leaving no room for criticism.

"Therefore, I would like to ask Comrade Guofeng to take over the daily affairs and help me get started quickly in the early stages."

Qin Siyuan then offered his own thoughts: "Comrade Guofeng comes from the Anti-Corruption Bureau. He is principled, highly professional, and a newly transferred cadre with little involvement from the external environment."

Lin Zhiyuan nodded.

From just these few words, he knew that Qin Siyuan had come fully prepared and was a highly independent cadre.

He can choose his inclinations.

But I would never say that I depend on anyone.

"I agree with Secretary Siyuan's idea, but this requires Secretary Siyuan to consult with Comrade Guofeng beforehand and then pass a resolution of the Standing Committee."

A strange light flickered in Lin Zhiyuan's eyes. Why did he see the shadow of an old acquaintance again?

That's right!

Like the former provincial procurator-general Ji Changming, he is slippery, but different. Ji Changming governed by inaction, while Qin Siyuan believed that human will can conquer nature.

It may be influenced by the original storyline.

He had always subconsciously assumed that Qin Siyuan was a troublesome character arranged by the Zhong family to clean up Hou Liangping's messes, but now that they met, he knew that was by no means the case.

Also...

The monkeys are not the same monkeys they used to be.

Qin Siyuan, who could keep Hou Liangping firmly under his control, was no ordinary person. Their relationship was similar to that of Ji Changming and Chen Hai. Qin Siyuan used Hou Liangping and Zhong Jiazhuan to tackle major cases, while Qin Siyuan would cover for Hou Liangping when necessary.

Hey!

Lin Zhiyuan suddenly remembered Director Hao's shady dealings back then. The Zhao Dehan incident must have put a lot of pressure on Qin Siyuan, right?

But life is still tough.

Zhong Xiaoai, that fierce girl, is far more useful than the monkey spirit when it comes to solving cases.

"Thank you for your support, Governor Lin."

Qin Siyuan knew that the other party would most likely not object, but he was still in a good mood because of such a quick response.

"Do you have any plans for the follow-up work? If it's not appropriate, you don't have to say."

Lin Zhiyuan asked.

The Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the five major systems are like knives; no matter what, they'll ask questions.

Moreover, among the five major systems, the Public Security Department and the Justice Department are both directly under the provincial government, so they are not considered to have overstepped their bounds.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. I just need Governor Lin to help me make a decision."

Qin Siyuan smiled and said, "I plan to use the Department of Justice as a starting point to launch a full-scale operation."

"Oh?"

Lin Zhiyuan was surprised. Apart from Long An, who obeyed orders but not proclamations, the Department of Justice was arguably the only logistics unit in the political and legal system. Its presence within the system was relatively low, and few secretaries of the political and legal system would focus their main energy on it.

"Modern society is developing rapidly and materially abundant, but to be honest..."

Qin Siyuan adjusted his glasses, his expression grave. "The general public, entrepreneurs, and even our cadres are showing a regressive trend in their understanding of the law."

These words were a wake-up call.

Lin Zhiyuan gave him a thumbs up, "You really dare to speak your mind!"

"There are two aspects. On the one hand, we are unaware that we are breaking the law and committing crimes, which is due to the backwardness of legal education. On the other hand, it is more serious. We take it for granted, and small things accumulate and gradually become big things. Ultimately, it is due to a lack of due respect for the law."

"Both of these aspects need to be addressed starting with the Department of Justice."

"Similarly, it is also to safeguard the transformation of Handong."

"The Department of Justice may not be prominent in the political and legal system, but it is the final implementation point for ensuring that the law is upheld. Externally, it deals with legal debates, interpretations, and public expectations; internally, it supports case solving, submission for trial, and sentencing. It is the department that cannot afford to have any problems."

"But the outbreak of the Si Tianyu case in Handong means that something has begun to show signs of deterioration."

"Simply dealing with a group of people involved in the case is a quick fix, but it doesn't address the root cause."

"As the reforms in Handong continue, the pressure on the Department of Justice will increase, and I believe it has reached a point where it must be addressed."

Lin Zhiyuan agreed.

However, it is clear that Qin Siyuan's purpose is not limited to this. The problem of the Department of Justice is an extension of the problem of the public security, procuratorate and judiciary. The other party may not be without the intention of putting pressure on the Department of Justice in order to put pressure on the other three.

After all, people tend to pick on the weakest link.

"OK!"

Lin Zhiyuan stood up. "Secretary Siyuan's plan is well-structured and his thinking is clear. I have no reason not to support him."

Qin Siyuan thanked him again.

Back to the provincial capital.

But then they saw Governor Liu tidying up some personal belongings. Hearing the sound, Governor Liu looked up and said, "Oh, Governor Lin is back."

His tone was sarcastic.

Lin Zhiyuan stepped forward to help tidy up, saying, "Governor Liu, I will always be your soldier."

"Then what are you doing?"

Liu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.

"Please help!"

Lin Zhiyuan took it for granted.

"Go to hell."

Liu Changsheng couldn't hold back and kicked the man to the ground. He said he was reluctant, but his hands and feet were quick.

"Alright, stop acting like a little girl."

Liu Changsheng glanced at the person lying on the ground groaning, "Get up, sit down!"

"Zhiyuan, on your first day here, I told you I was confident in handing over the Hantong Provincial Government to you, but now..."

"I am anxious."

Liu Changsheng took out his treasured tea and brewed a pot of tea, saying, "Because you led Handong onto a path that no one had ever walked before."

"Handong is like a high-speed train right now. It has too many people on board and can't stop."

"Therefore, you must remove all obstacles in your path!"

"Once it goes off track."

"The fundamental issues are there; the train may not be in trouble, the passengers may not be in trouble, but you, the driver, are definitely doomed."

"But what's more terrifying than derailment is that the train actually stopped."

"Everything will repeat itself!"
