Chapter 285 - Lightning Fury (24)From the very beginning, this time, there was a different atmosphere around the Guangdong Standing Committee. All the members of the Standing Committee had different expressions; some were serious, some were gnas.h.i.+ng their teeth, and some had smiles on their faces.
There were also others who had strange expressions on their faces.
This was because everyone knew why the standing committee had been convened this time around.All of this was because of Zheng Yuanshan"s sudden action, shocking everyone. Of course, it also shocked and angered quite a few people, because Zheng Yuanshan did not even greet them, directly grabbing their people, causing their strength to be damaged, or even causing them to suffer a cut on their skin!
However, there were also some Standing Committee members who wore grave expressions on their faces.
They knew very well that this time around, the standing committee would very possibly become a battlefield. The scene might be one-sided, and with the governor as the representative, they would directly defeat and defeat Zheng Yuanshan.
After all, even though Zheng Yuanshan was the head of the provincial department, everyone knew that this position was forcefully installed by the Ji Clan. If it weren"t for Ji Feng making a ruckus in the southern and northern provinces and the Ji Clan seizing the opportunity to make a mistake, Zheng Yuanshan would not have been able to sit in this position!
However, he did not rule out the possibility of Zheng Yuanshan being on par with the other party — even though this possibility was pitifully small, it still existed!The reason why someone had such an estimation was because although Zheng Yuanshan was weak on his own and lacking in comparison to a province"s leader, he still dared to make such a big move. Could it be that he wasn"t prepared at all?
Since Zheng Yuanshan was able to achieve such a position, he was obviously not a fool. Even if there was a little bit of insanity in his head, he would absolutely not be able to sit in this position for such a long time.Everyone knew that this was the territory of the martial arts family, and it was almost like the backyard of the martial family. Although it was impossible for all the officials here to be from the martial family, the majority of them still belonged to the martial family.
This was a violent organ of the state, representing the Ji family. Zheng Yuanshan was in charge of the police department, and in the eyes of the officials of the martial arts department, it was like a thorn in the flesh. They were extremely unpopular and would be ostracized and plotted against in all kinds of ways.
However, Zheng Yuanshan sat firmly in this seat for a year!This was enough to show that Zheng Yuanshan had an extraordinary scheming mind and strategy.
Then, how could someone like him suddenly act so recklessly? This was clearly very abnormal and did not conform to Zheng Yuanshan"s usual low-key style.
Therefore, some people were certain that Zheng Yuanshan dared to do so because he had something to rely on. Perhaps, he had the evidence of certain people, which was why he sent his men to arrest people. Or, it could be that Zheng Yuanshan had initiated such a big operation in South Guangdong, perhaps it was to coordinate with the Ji Clan"s actions, in order to attract or divert everyone"s attention …
But regardless of which possibility it was, Zheng Yuanshan was clearly prepared!Therefore, it was very likely that the standing committee would not fall flat on the spot!
Thus, the members of the Standing Committee all rushed over to partic.i.p.ate in the meeting after receiving the urgent notification from the Standing Committee.
The thirteen standing committee members of the southern and southern Guangdong provinces, with the exception of one who was away on a business trip, the remaining twelve were all present.
As for Zheng Yuanshan, he was not on the standing committee"s list. Therefore, he only had the right to listen and had no right to speak.
Of course, if he was questioned, he would naturally be able to answer it - in fact, everyone knew that Zheng Yuanshan was specifically here to be questioned, especially since he was the governor"s confidante, the chief of staff.Therefore, even though Zheng Yuanshan was not a standing committee member, he was still seated near the conference table. However, the seating arrangement was very interesting — from a direction, Zheng Yuanshan"s seat was directly facing the governor.
When Zheng Yuanshan saw that he had been arranged to be here, he could not help but snort coldly to himself. "Are you going to criticize me, Old Zheng?"
From this seat, it was clear that he was going to be directly interrogated by the Governor. This was no different from an interrogation of a prisoner!
Zheng Yuanshan harrumphed coldly in his heart, "Do you really think that this is an opportunity to kick me out? Aren"t you afraid of yourself getting smashed by a rock! "
However, despite the sneer in his heart, Zheng Yuanshan"s face remained calm. Under the faint smile of the Chief of Staff, Zheng Yuanshan very calmly sat down in the seat arranged for him.
It didn"t take long before everyone was present and the staff was ready. The chief of staff, the governor"s chief steward, was personally responsible for preparing the minutes of the meeting.
"Comrades, although this standing committee has been convened urgently, there have been some major developments in the province, especially in the last two days. As a result, at the urging of the governor, this meeting was held!"
At the beginning of the meeting, the secretary of the Southern and Guangdong Provinces" Party committee said bluntly and stated very clearly that this time, the standing committee was meant by the Governor. The Governor had requested to convene a standing committee and had a suitable reason to do so, so naturally, he had to nod in agreement.But how much did this matter have to do with him? His words had already made it clear — he was somewhat dissatisfied with the recent major events that had occurred in the province, but the main figure today was still the governor!
With the position of the provincial government secretary, everyone present had a general idea of what was going on.
It looked like this time, the governor was going to directly challenge Zheng Yuanshan, the head of the police department. The secretary of the provincial council was only here to preside over the meeting and take charge of the overall situation.When Zheng Yuanshan heard this, he could not help but secretly let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that the culprit behind this incident was still the Governor. The Secretary of the Provincial Committee appeared to be dissatisfied with this, which was why he said, "It was at the Governor"s insistence".
Zheng Yuanshan couldn"t help but secretly nod his head. Someone who could become the provincial secretary was definitely not a simple person.
In fact, the secretary of the provincial government was equivalent to a general in ancient times. He was an important official of the country!As the country"s number one economic province, Guangdong Province was especially important. The positions of the other heads of the household were even higher than those of the provinces. Only a few heads of the munic.i.p.alities were comparable to them.
For example, the head of Guangdong province was a member of the ZZJ committee, which could be called the leader of the country!
At his level, there were no longer any obvious political tendencies or factions. Even if there were, it was because of the differences in governing ideals.Even if he had broken away from any faction, no one would be able to touch him. He was an important official of a country and was not someone that could be touched easily.
At their level, grudges and grudges were but child"s play in their eyes. What they were thinking about was how to make the country stronger and make the people richer …
But at least for now, he did not have that many selfish motives. Otherwise, with the authority and rank of the provincial government secretary, it would not be difficult for him to get rid of Zheng Yuanshan!
Looking at the white-haired old man in the host"s seat, Zheng Yuanshan couldn"t help but feel a sense of admiration. No wonder when the Wu family had proposed for him to be the secretary of the Southern and Guangdong Provinces, it was said that Old Master Ji was very satisfied.
It could be seen that this old man had an extremely strong character!Thinking of this, Zheng Yuanshan looked at the second-in-command and could not help but shake his head. This person was far from enough. Just his vision and structure were not on the same level.
"Comrade Zheng Yuanshan, please explain to me why the police department has been conducting such a huge operation recently. Moreover, they are arresting people for no reason at all, causing the people"s resentment to boil. What are you trying to do?!"
"Governor, I don"t understand what you mean. The provincial department"s work is normally carried out, and it"s only because there are some important cases being investigated that the operations are more frequent. However, to say that people are capturing people for no reason, or even to say that people are boiling with resentment, I think that"s a bit too much to say!"
When Zheng Yuanshan heard this, he said in an indifferent tone, "The people who are arrested in the provincial hall are all reasonable and well-founded. Without evidence, we definitely won"t randomly arrest them …"
"Evidence?" "What evidence do you have? What crimes have the comrades who were arrested committed?" The governor interrupted Zheng Yuanshan"s question and questioned him with a deep tone.
"I"m sorry, but the case has not been finalized yet, so the evidence cannot be made public for now. If the governor needs to know, I can report it to him in private!" Zheng Yuanshan said.
"Humph!" "I think you"re just at the end of your rope!"The governor coldly snorted and said, "The police are here to serve the common people and to maintain stability and order. But look what you have done … And you"re reporting it alone, are you not trusting the comrades here? "
Zheng Yuanshan frowned. "I didn"t mean that.""Then show me your proof and reason!"
"If you can prove that the actions of the provincial hall are justified and reasonable, then forget it. But if you can"t prove it, then it means that you are acting for the benefit of others. I will propose to remove you from your position as the governor of the provincial hall!" the governor said sternly.
When Zheng Yuanshan heard this, he immediately took a deep breath and asked, "Really?"
"What do you think?""Alright, since the governor is so insistent, I will choose to believe you all. Simply speaking, why are you doing this?" Zheng Yuanshan finally nodded.
This time, the other standing committee members were immediately enlivened. Zheng Yuanshan had gone up against the governor. It seemed like there would be an intense confrontation today!At the same time, everyone wanted to know why Zheng Yuanshan had made so many movements …
"Secretary, Governor, Leaders …" Zheng Yuanshan stood up and took out a stack of doc.u.ments from his briefcase that he carried with him. He said, "Because the matter is rather complicated, I will make this long story short … More than ten days ago, someone was ambushed and almost killed by a group of thugs. Those thugs had used a large number of weapons, and some of them had even used police cars and wore police uniforms … "
As soon as he said it, everyone understood at once that he was talking about the attack on Ji Feng, which was not news even in the southern and southern provinces.
"After a difficult investigation by our provincial department, we finally found a series of suspects related to this case …"Everyone was shocked at the same time!
