Chapter 47 Leadership Responsibility
The Tong County shooting case was solved within 48 hours.
Far from being inspiring, the leadership teams at the city and county levels were in an extremely heavy mood.
The case included kidnapping, coercion, shooting, and dismemberment.
The main criminals and related criminals have all died one after another. Those who are still alive, such as Guilan, have become the real femme fatale.
No one expected that her affair would result in 11 deaths, including three party and government officials, the deputy secretary of the county party committee, the secretary of the county political and legal committee, and the secretary of the township party committee.
This is a real, shocking and bloody lesson, which is extremely profound. In a series of cases, as long as someone can take the initiative to communicate or not have too many distracting thoughts, the tragedy that could have been avoided happened in a series of coincidences.
Guiying from Tieshu Township took Guilan away.
Three positions on the county party committee's standing committee suddenly became vacant. Guilan has requested to resign from her position but keep her job.
After discussion, the county party committee agreed to her request and transferred her to the Tieshu Township Family Planning Office, where she enjoyed deputy section-level treatment.
It must be that she just has lifestyle problems and has no direct connection with the case itself.
Before May Day, the Municipal Party Committee agreed to the personnel request of the Tong County Party Committee. Of course, Tian Fumin had already made arrangements before the formal report.
Zhang Jihua, former captain of serves as secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Tong County and concurrently as director of the Public Security Bureau. He is the biggest contributor to this shooting case.
Jiang Kaigui, former deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office and Tian Fumin’s secretary, was appointed as member of the Standing Committee and deputy secretary of the Tong County Party Committee.
Chen Shoulai was appointed Minister of Organization, and You Lin, former secretary of Li Changsheng, was appointed Deputy Minister of Organization and Director of the Labor and Personnel Bureau.
At the same time, the work of the county party committee was redivided. Jiang Kaigui took over Li Changsheng's position and assisted Tie Xiangqian in taking charge of the daily work of the county party committee, as well as party building, organization and personnel work.
Zheng Shunli was in charge of the county's economic work.
The above personnel adjustments were unanimously approved at the second plenary meeting of the county party committee. This adjustment has little to do with the county government.
Unfortunately, less than two months later, before July 1, Tie Xiangqian still assumed leadership responsibility for the previous incident. After all, it was unacceptable for him, as the squad leader, to remain in his seat while three standing committee members of the county party committee got into trouble.
Tie Xiangqian was transferred to the position of deputy secretary-general of the Municipal People's Congress.
The person who took over as the county party secretary was Jiang Kaigui. Hu Jiao had no choice but to share some of the responsibility as the county magistrate.
Moreover, he was just elected as county magistrate in March, and became secretary in less than half a year?
Comrade, progress is a good thing, but progressing too fast is not a good thing.
Hu Jiao felt sorry for Tie Xiangqian, but who could he blame? The two of them had worked together and were doing very well, but such a big mistake happened in the middle of the process.
Luck, luck.
Tie Xiangqian patted Hu Jiao, closed the car door, and drove away.
Fortunately, Tian Fumin did not make things difficult for Hu Jiao. He sent Jiang Kaigui down in advance to familiarize himself with the work and work with Hu Jiao.
If someone else were to be in charge of just the personnel and finance tasks, there would definitely be a lot of wrangling for a while, and maybe even some shady tactics would have to be resorted to.
Jiang Kaigui is easy to talk to and has a better relationship with Hu Jiao.
Anyway, Hu Jiao has already firmly grasped the financial affairs, and the Organization Minister is his old subordinate, so Jiang Kaigui will not make any moves without authorization.
Moreover, Jiang Kaigui had already made his intentions clear long before he took office in Tong County. Hu Jiao was not worried about Jiang Kaigui. It was just that in such a short period of time, the leadership team of Tong County had been changing rapidly, and it seemed extremely unstable.
After discussing with Jiang Kaigui, Hu Jiao decided not to make any big moves for the time being and to focus on maintaining stable and orderly daily work.
In mid-July, Li Juanjuan was transferred from the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee to the Provincial Women's Federation, where she worked as the women's secretary of the trade union in a subordinate department. She was treated as a deputy section-level official and it was a sinecure. It didn't matter whether she went to work or not. She basically did nothing all year round.
Li Juanjuan was six months pregnant. With two mothers taking care of her at home, she basically did not suffer any hardship. However, Hu Jiao was busy with work, and the couple had rarely been together since they got married.
It is impossible for Hu Jiao to ask for leave for her. There is no such thing.
So Li Aiju suggested that since she felt a bit bored staying in Nanhu, she might as well accompany Juanjuan to Tong County to live for a while. Anyway, with Xiaoju following them, there would be no problem with their life.
Of course, the main thing is that her injuries have recovered well, and although she occasionally suffers from short-term amnesia, everything else is going well.
This amnesia made Li Aiju a little annoyed. She had decided what to do the minute before, but as soon as she was interrupted, she would immediately forget it and could not remember it no matter how hard she tried.
Hu Jianguo had no objection. It was closer to Tong County from Hongjiang, and he could still accompany his wife and his son and daughter-in-law on weekends.
As Li Juanjuan's belly grew bigger day by day, Hu Jiao became worried. Even though his mother and Juanjuan's mother were taking care of him, he still wanted to stay with his wife and watch his son grow in the womb and then be born.
It would be best to differentiate between the loneliness and solitude that Juanjuan feels when she is pregnant alone.
Compared with the young couple, Juanjuan is older and not as strong as Hu Jiao. When they are together, they often change roles, from brother to sister, and then to sister and brother.
Unfortunately, since Li Juan became pregnant, her dependence on Hu Jiao has become more and more obvious. She calls him every day and every time she calls, she acts like a spoiled child and asks Hu Jiao to go back to accompany her.
So as soon as Li Aiju mentioned it, Li Juan agreed with both hands and couldn't wait to report it to Hu Jiao. She was so proud of herself.
When Li Aiju kindly reminded her that she should give Hu Jiao an unexpected surprise, her daughter-in-law's regret made her feel very happy!
The only person who disagreed was Banghui, and her disagreement was very strong. She had become accustomed to being with Li Aiju and her daughter.
Three women make a drama. If one of them leaves, she will be left alone. How will she pass the time?
Fortunately, He Miao became a father!
It was a son, and the old man was so happy that he directly ordered He Banghui to go home to help take care of his nephews and grandchildren.
This left He Banghui with no time to spare, and in the end he had to delay his daughter's trip to Tong County in the name of the full moon.
Before the child was even a month old, my grandfather and I spent all day flipping through the Kangxi Dictionary to choose a name for our great-grandson. It took us a full half month to decide on the name, He Zhaonan.
Nickname: Nan Nan.
Moreover, the old man, who had never cared about Li Juan and Hu Jiao, might have been addicted to naming, so he named the unborn baby in Li Juanjuan's belly Hu Yunbei.
Nickname: Beibei.
All her children had this name, which made Li Juan laugh and cry. She was just like Hu Jiao, who gave her children many names with profound meanings.
For example, Hu Xiaoshuo, Hu Manduo, Hu Tucong...
I didn't expect that the old man would engage in warlord dictatorship.
However, the nickname Beibei is acceptable as it sounds similar to the English word "baby".
When He Miao held his full-month banquet, Hu Jiao came in person to congratulate him and brought his mother and wife to Tong County.
He Miao grew a small mustache on his upper lip, which made him look much more mature and stable.
His various business projects in the province had been handled long before he got married, and he had been transferred from the Provincial Department of Finance to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
This is also the last department that Grandpa He can influence. However, He Miao is very competitive. Not long after being transferred there, he has taken over the investigation and handling of seven cases. The next step is to be admitted to the China University of Political Science and Law to attend a discipline inspection training class.
He is expected to be promoted to deputy department level and serve as director of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office.
When He Miao held his wedding, Grandpa He did not show up. But when his great-grandson was one month old, he came with a cane, but he did not even look at He Miao. He was just busy teasing his great-grandson, and a friendly smile bloomed on his old bark-like face.
He Miao saw an opportunity and smiled bitterly at Hu Jiao, "Let's go out and sit for a while."
The two of them found an opportunity and left the living room.
We had originally planned to book a table at a hotel for the full moon banquet, but the old man rejected our plan, so we held it at home instead. There were not many guests, only close friends and relatives.
Chang Aiji, the provincial party secretary, asked his secretary to bring a small jade Guanyin pendant tied with a red ribbon. Hu Zhongzhi, the provincial governor, was attending a meeting in Yanjing and asked his wife to send him an imported baby carriage.
Other senior provincial party committee officials have expressed their opinions, but we will not discuss them here.
Hu Jiao followed He Miao and the two of them ran to the third-floor balcony, which had been tidied up and planted with wisteria and a few rattan tables and chairs.
After the nanny brought a pot of tea, He Miao indicated that there was no need to wait, and seeing that there was no one around, he asked seriously, "Did you see Fatty Liu in Tong County?"
Hu Jiao nodded. After the Tongtie Highway was completed, Hu Jianguo signaled to Hu Jiao that this matter could not be concealed from He Miao.
He Miao grinned, his mustache twitching. "Hey, it looks like I've finally fallen! Grandpa called me a political idiot, and I didn't accept it at first, but it's not unfair."
After Hu Jiao married Juanjuan, he also followed his wife's way of addressing He Miao, calling him "Brother He, it's over. I shouldn't have said anything, but I was afraid they would have some more thoughts. After all, among the three generations, only you are legitimate. As for the other sisters, although grandpa seems to be kind on the surface, he doesn't expect you to do anything. Now that you are settled, don't think that grandpa doesn't care about you. Haha, I heard from Juanjuan that every time you go out to handle a case, he would call to ask about it."
He Miao's eyes were somewhat sad. "Last year was indeed too absurd. According to my nature, I am impatient to be manipulated by others, and I am even more impatient to be in politics. Later I realized that I was born in this family. My every move, every word and deed, whether I like it or not, has to enjoy the glory and bear the family's suffering. Last time, my eldest uncle, second uncle, and third uncle were all implicated by me. I feel bad in my heart! In the past, I thought that my personal absurdity would not cause trouble to my family. I never expected... Jiaojiao became a tool and handle for others to attack the He family. This feeling is uncomfortable."
He Miao spoke calmly and slowly, and it sounded like his emotions weren't changing much. But the more he spoke like this, the more Hu Jiao could feel He Miao's suppressed sadness and helplessness.
Hu Jiao put his arm around He Miao's shoulders and said, "Brother, you also did a lot of things later. Just make up for it slowly. We are still young."
He Miao picked up the teacup and looked at Hu Jiao. "You're not bad! The higher-ups are keeping an eye on the Tong Railway. If you make the slightest mistake, you'll be hit hard. Oh, I'm worried about you. Haozi is a very vicious person. By the way, are you still in touch with Liu Jie?"
Looking at He Miao's mischievous expression, Hu Jiao said helplessly, "Brother, you are still holding on to it. I was young and ignorant at that time, and I didn't understand his situation. But you, what are you going to do about Fatty Liu's matter?"
He Miao laughed and said, "Don't change the subject! Liu Jie is in the same class with me this time. There are only two of us in the Nanzhao Discipline Inspection Commission. Do you want some help, brother?"
Hu Jiao was so angry that he strangled He Miao's neck and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll let Juanjuan deal with you! You don't act like a brother! Juanjuan is pregnant, how can you bear to do that?"
He Miao's neck was strangled and he couldn't breathe. He laughed wildly in his heart, but he couldn't vent his anger. His face turned red, he coughed and gasped, and raised his hands to signal surrender.
He Miao felt very comfortable when he occasionally joked with the great talent.
After Hu Jiao let go, He Miao twisted his little body and quickly moved away, shaking his hands and begging for mercy, "That's enough. A gentleman talks, not fights. Once he fights, the world will shake. I'm afraid of you, but seriously, this time Liu Jie returned to the disciplinary inspection department, do you know the specific inside story?"
Hu Jiao was unmoved. "It's up to you whether you want to say it or not. Anyway, I am at a low level now, so you can do whatever you want. However, things change over time."
Hu Jiao looked at He Miao and laughed dryly. "Okay, my brother-in-law, I'm not kidding you. She found Zhou Liming herself and asked to go back to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Wu Chengjing strongly opposed it, and Zhou Liming was caught in the middle and it was difficult for him to behave. In the end, it was grandpa who stepped in and Wu Chengjing finally calmed down."
Hu Jiao frowned. Zhou Liming was a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. He was a native of Nanzhao Province and was promoted by Lao Yishou.
Therefore, the current Nanzhao Provincial Party Committee and the only truly influential place are the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Of course, this kind of influence does not require him to rely on his seniority and use force.
"Why did Grandpa come forward?"
Facing Hu Jiao's question, He Miao chuckled, "The latest insider information is that Liu Jie has been married to Wu Hao for more than three years, and she is still a virgin, as pure as jade."
Seeing Hu Jiao's face full of shock and disbelief, He Miao was very proud, "According to reliable information, Wu Hao had two testicles circumcised due to disease before marriage. Hehe, haha, oh hehe..."
Hu Jiao looked at He Miao who was laughing wildly, this was too unbelievable!
Wu Hao...is a eunuch?
In order to increase the credibility of his report, He Miao nodded affirmatively, "Reliable information, absolute fact!"
Hu Jiao looked at He Miao and didn't think he was lying. Based on the past relationship between the He and Wu families, there was no need for He Miao to say anything nonsense.
It seems to be true.
Hu Jiao didn't know what kind of expression to use, sympathy? gloating? sarcasm?
He Miao ignored Hu Jiao's complicated feelings, "Now Liu Jie has returned to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. She was originally in the Provincial Office and has been promoted to director . This time Zhou Liming gave her a position in order to repay her for her meritorious service in Fenghuang. Moreover, she has formally filed for divorce. My aunt knows this best. She said Wu Hao is a psychopath..."
Hu Jiao laughed out loud. If this happened to any man, he would become mentally abnormal. "No need to explain. I can imagine it."
He Miao coughed twice, restrained his smile, and looked at Hu Jiao, "Grandpa likes Liu Jie very much! This has nothing to do with the Wu family. When Wu Hao pursued Liu Jie, it was grandpa who acted as a matchmaker. Don't underestimate Liu Jie. Her grandmother was a teacher in a nursery. After liberation, she returned to Nanzhao and enjoyed vice-ministerial treatment until her death in 1982. Moreover, when she was alive, the two current members of the Central Standing Committee often came to visit her."
Hu Jiao was shocked again!
He Miao was like a weasel who had stolen a chicken, his eyes full of evil, "So, if, suppose, you can get Liu Jie, then people with the surname Wu and Chang are nothing!"
Hu Jiao felt that his thinking could not keep up at all. Perhaps this was the true style of children of high-ranking officials. Hu Jiao felt inferior to him.
Even that scoundrel can't do anything to get promoted, right?
However, Liu Jie's fragrant kiss and her smooth, curvaceous, sensitive and elastic body flashed through his mind, and Hu Jiao thought would not do it for the sake of promotion, but he would definitely do it if he had the chance.
Alas... For anything, you will become familiar with it if you practice it more.
Hu Jiao seemed unmoved. "Brother, is it useful for you to tell me this? I know what you mean. In fact, there is no need to attack Wu Hao so harshly. His... flaw is enough."
He Miao's evil plan failed, and he pouted, "You are as boring as them. Officials are too boring. There is no fun at all. To tell you the truth, it was grandpa who asked Fatty Liu to go. Wu Hao found him and bribed him. Grandpa knows everything."
After saying this, he lowered his head, feeling annoyed, "I am the Monkey King, being played around by my grandfather."
Hu Jiao looked up at the sky, his mind was completely blank. He wanted to think about something, but unfortunately he couldn't think of anything.
He Miao continued, "Grandpa said that there are ups and downs, prosperity and decline, and people must abide by the laws of nature. Winter is coming, and we must store enough food. Wu Chengjing and Wu Hao, father and son, thought that if grandpa retired, they could find a new place to stand firm."
Hu Jiao thought about Tong Tielu's affairs. Could it be that Liu Degui's role was another hidden move arranged by the old man?
If Hu Jiao didn't find the problem, the old man could just cut off Wu Hao's future with one blow and protect his grandson-in-law again?
What if I feel guilty towards Juanjuan?
When Hu Jiao thought of this, cold sweat broke out on his vest.
Perhaps the only people who truly understand the situation, apart from foreigners, are the provincial party secretary Chang Aijun and the governor?
Thinking of the situation Wang Jianxin analyzed for him last year and the development of the design, Hu Jiao smiled bitterly again. It was not that Wang Jianxin was not smart, but that he had never experienced the methods of the real high-level officials.
It is difficult to understand the minds of leaders if you are not in their position.
When Hu Jiao slowly came to his senses, the tea had already gone cold and He Miao had left.
Hu Jiao stood up and walked down the stairs slowly. It seemed that what He Miao said to him was not only a warning, but also a signal.
From then on, Hu Jiao was truly considered to have entered the He family and was recognized by Mr. He.
After dinner, He Miao took Hu Jiao into He Lao’s study.
At this moment, He Miao no longer had the cunning and cunning he had in the afternoon. His eyes were calm and restrained, his face was solemn, his hands pressed against his trouser seams, and he stood straight in front of He Lao's desk.
"Hu Jiao, please sit down."
There are two wicker chairs in front of the desk, which were called chairman's chairs in the old days. On the wide table are the four treasures of the study and a collection of the Chairman's works.
A large bookcase stands against the wall, and on the old background wall hangs a photo of the Chairman meeting him, with the Chairman’s autograph and the words “February 1953”.
He Lao, who is over 80 years old, has age spots all over his face. Two frosty eyebrows hang under his forehead. His eyes are no longer sharp, and the wrinkles on his cheeks have lost their former edges and corners.
Hu Jiao sat down quietly, straightened his back, and looked at the old man straight in the eye.
"Miao Miao told you?"
Hu Jiao nodded, "Brother has said it all."
He Lao hummed, "Don't blame grandpa for being suspicious. I'm old now. I'll try my best to think about my descendants while I'm still alive. Tell me about your work in Tong County?"
Hu Jiao looked at the old man's face and thought carefully. The old man did not have enough energy, so he could only talk about important personnel matters.
When you reach the level of an old man, you don’t need to understand the specific work being done, as that is not important.
Hu Jiao explained to Lao about his friendship with Wang Jianxin, Li Ya, Tie Xiangqian, Jiang Kaigui and others, as well as Huang Yu's goodwill and the Chen brothers' promotion of Tie Shu.
State your own impressions and opinions about these people.
After listening to He Lao, he didn't say anything for a long time. The study was quiet. Hu Jiao glanced at He Miao, and he was just as motionless as when he first came in.
He Lao was coughing, Hu Jiao hurriedly stood up to fetch water, and waved his hand and said, "Is Tie Xiangqian? This guy is not worth it. Xiao Liu gave him 50,000 yuan."
Xiao Liu, Fatty Liu?
Hu Jiao looked at He Miao, who added, "Fatty Liu."
When Hu Jiao got a positive answer, he felt a pain in his heart, as if being pricked by a needle. Tie Xiangqian, Uncle Tie.
He felt sad for himself and even more ashamed for Tie Xiangqian. If he hadn't told his father about it today, Hu Jiao probably would never have thought of it.
No wonder he didn't stop Wu Hao.
Hu Jiao lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. I'm sorry for worrying you!"
Indeed, such an old leader of a national rank still took the trouble for a small county magistrate like him. Although He Lao's original intention was not to do so, Hu Jiao had to accept it.
He Lao waved his hand and asked Hu Jiao, "Do you understand what leadership responsibility is now?"
Hu Jiao shook his head, "I don't understand."
He Lao laughed. After being in the study for so long, he finally laughed.
"Then you can figure it out slowly. You can't be confidant anymore. It's good to want to be independent, but you have to do it within your ability and not be self-righteous. How long do you want to stay in Tong County?"
Hu Jiao was a little surprised. I’ve only been gone for a year, and from the sound of it, he wanted to bring me back?
"Grandpa, I've only been there for a year, and the team has just been reorganized. Should I wait a little longer?"
He Lao looked at him with a smile and laughed very amusedly, which made Hu Jiao feel uncomfortable all over, as if he was a child who had done something wrong, and he had no idea what he did wrong.
"You, now many people know your name is Hu Maiguang, and know that you are my grandson-in-law. Old Red Army Chen also knows."
Hu Jiao lowered his head and wanted to cry.
He Lao seemed not to notice Hu Jiao's distress. "Come back after Juan Juan gives birth and go to Nanzhao University, okay?"
Hu Jiao's eyes were sore, and he tried hard not to let the tears fall down. His voice was slightly choked, "I will listen to Grandpa."
He Miao moved his lips, seeming to be unable to bear it anymore. Just when he was about to speak, He Lao glared at him and he quickly kept silent.
Smiling at Lao, Hu Jiao looked back at the past again. Although his eyes were red, Lao's loving eyes silently comforted him, "How about going out when you're thirty?"
Hu Jiao nodded and vowed in his heart that he would study hard from now on! Never let anyone down, never listen to anyone's orders, and never be wronged by anyone again!
