The reinforced platoon next to the Jiuzhou Steel Works site on the outskirts of Longgang County was originally an establishment with more than 500 people. Now it has become the Montenegro Economic Security Brigade, directly under the Office of the Chief Member of the Montenegro Military Control Commission.
Lu Ming is currently in the military camp of the Economic and Security Brigade.
A dark green wooden room next to the team headquarters, with long tables and chairs, etc., is the layout of a conference room, which was temporarily borrowed by Lu Ming.
In front of Lu Ming, four or five people stood, all trembling and full of fear.
The leader was an old man, Zhao Shibang, a squire from Zhaojiatun Town who also had his own small coal mine.
Now he is accused of "having liaison with the party and being unrepentant", and his whole family has been arrested.
As he approached the county town, the people Lu Ming saw strung together by ropes were the Zhao family, including the families of Zhao Shibang's two younger brothers.
Those brought to Lu Ming were the main members of the Zhao family, Zhao Shibang, his eldest son and daughter-in-law, as well as his eldest grandson and grandson's wife.
"Are you really still in contact with the rebellious party?" Lu Ming looked at Zhao Shibang.
The so-called chaotic party is the Smoked Chicken Club, which is also the "North-South Alliance for Peace and Co-Prosperity".
Because it has been operating in Montenegro for a long time, many squires have dealt with it. Some support its ideas, and some have purely business relationships. They don't even know what this alliance is, and they think it is an organization like a chamber of commerce.
Based on the cultural traditions of Montenegro, Lu Ming could imagine that if the Smoked Chicken Club was to be liquidated, it would be a bloody storm.
What's more, not to mention people who have only dealt with the Smoked Chicken Club, even the members of the Smoked Chicken Club have no ill feelings towards them. They adopt the principle of pardoning as much as possible. As far as the situation in Montenegro is concerned, there is blood and pursuit.
Who loves their hometown and doesn’t want to bring changes here?
As for those who have dealt with members of the Smoked Chicken Club, as long as the involvement is not too deep, let's forget about it.
The Zhao family's crime was "having liaison with the party and not repenting." Unless the key members of the Smoked Chicken Club escaped and lurked, ordinary people would not be able to contact the Smoked Chicken Club now if they wanted to.
Lu Ming asked Zhao Shibang if he still had any contact with the rebellious party, and a question mark appeared in his heart.
Mainly, if the key members of the Smoked Chicken Association really slipped through the net, Longgang County should report it to the Intelligence Section of the Montenegro Military Control Commission.
But when Lu Ming asked, Zhao Shibang shivered and did not dare to speak.
Lu Ming looked at Zhao Shibang's eldest son, a fat man in his forties, who was raising his arms to wipe the sweat from his forehead from time to time, with a look of fear on his face.
"Tell me, do you still have contact with the rebellious party?" Lu Ming then looked at the brief registration form in his hand. Zhao Shibang's eldest son is named Zhao Laikui.
"I, I don't know..." Zhao Laikui was so frightened when he was suddenly questioned by his superior that his fat face immediately turned pale.
"We have nothing to do with the rebellious party at all!" The speaker was a young man in his early twenties, his face full of anger. He was Zhao Laikui's son, named Zhao Yunpu. He gritted his teeth and said: "My family has only done business with the rebellious party members before.
, where do we still have contact with them now? However, when we were arrested, we were threatened by spies and we were not allowed to speak nonsense to the outside world. Otherwise, we would have no way to survive..."
"Yun Pu!" Zhao Laikui was so angry that his fat face turned red. He looked like he would have slapped his son if he hadn't been in front of the superior.
Zhao Shibang let out a long sigh and shook his head. It seemed that there was a sense of relief. The matter was over and he was resigned to his fate.
The two beautiful women, whose clothes were covered with dirt, both had frightened faces and did not dare to say a word.
Lu Ming looked at them and nodded, waving his hands, and someone would take them down.
…
More than an hour later, Master Gong stood in front of Lu Ming.
Yuluan moved a chair for him. Master Gong cupped his hands to Yuluan and said with a forced smile: "Thank you, Miss Yuluan, but how can I have the dignity to sit here?"
Lu Ming smiled: "Sit down, if you need anything, just talk to me."
Master Gong shook his head: "Boss, I just learned about Zhao Shibang and the three squires who were recently interrogated. I didn't know the people well and appointed the wrong people. The purge committee..."
The smile on Lu Ming's face faded, he sighed softly, turned his head, and took out a cigarette, "I didn't even smoke a cigarette for a month or two, but in the past few days, I've smoked almost half a pack...
"
He took out a cigarette, thought about it, and threw it back on the table.
"Actually, think about it, you are a very capable person. I used to have a concept in my hometown that an official who is greedy but capable of doing practical things is much better than one who is not greedy but mediocre. However,
I have always disdained this view." Lu Ming looked at Master Gong and said, "A local official is like a mirror. No matter how capable you are, but your shadow is distorted, the officials below you, big and small, are just what you see in the mirror.
Shadow, this kind of harm cannot be made up for by just doing a few practical things."
"Of course, this is about the rule of men, and the current Montenegro is the rule of men." Lu Ming looked at Lao Gong, "I originally hoped that in Longgang, with my full support, you could take bigger steps and implement some of our rule of law in the East China Sea.
Introduce the method and change the soil here..."
Waving his hands, "Forget it." Lu Ming sighed, not wanting to say anything more, and there was no need to say anything more.
Lao Gong thought that he was just blaming him for the affairs of a few squires, so he had already thought of a countermeasure before he came and referred it to some sort of purge committee.
Lu Ming's whole heart felt a little cold.
Master Gong stood blankly, silent.
"I..." Master Gong wanted to say something.
Lu Ming had already stood up and walked out.
…
The flower hall in the backyard of Longgang Xinzhi Bookstore.
Vice Governor Gao Shaoting sat at the bottom.
The smooth county magistrate and the iron-clad deputy governor.
In the past ten years, Gao Shaoting has accompanied countless county magistrates.
Now, he brought Governor Gong's letter of resignation to see Chairman Lu in Longgang.
"Shaoting, even if some of the things in the past are in the past, I hope you will take a lesson from Governor Gong."
Lu Ming's words made Gao Shaoting stunned. He originally thought that this master and servant were just showing off.
Commissioner Lu is young, somewhat naive, and always wants a brighter world.
This is the case for the children of such powerful families. They think they have ideals and ambitions, and have many fantastic ideas. They have no idea how hard it is to obtain power, and why everyone wants to have power.
Now, his most capable and loyal servant has poured cold water on him.
In Montenegro, he may be the only confidant.
How many others would really think highly of him?
So, it's time for him to wake up.
However, I want to save face, so I have to put on a show.
Lao Gong asked for his resignation and deliberately asked himself to bring his resignation letter, just to intercede and smooth the situation.
I'm still thinking about it, if I don't accept this big deal and don't cooperate with them, what will be the expression on this chick's face?
Thinking about that scene, I thought it was funny, but I didn't expect that Young Master Lu would say such a thing.
Are you waiting for me to intercede?
Gao Shaoting was thinking about it when he saw two people walking in from outside the flower hall, a man and a woman, both of whom he knew.
The man in his early thirties is Liu Sili, the head of Xiping District. This young man was the first person promoted by Lao Gong after he came to Longgang. The beautiful young woman wearing a gray professional skirt is He Mojun, a judge of the county court who has just been transferred to the county legal affairs office.
The director of the office was originally the daughter-in-law of a coal mine owner, and she seemed to have become attached to Mr. Lu.
"Shaoting, you should know both Sili and Mojun!" Lu Ming smiled.
Neither Liu Sili nor He Mojun knew what Lu Ming asked them to do, but when Lu Ming directly called them "Mojun", He Mojun felt a little strange.
Gao Shaoting smiled and said: "Of course, they are all talents discovered by the chairman of the committee."
Lu Ming nodded: "I am going to nominate Mo Jun as the governor of Longgang County. I hope it can be approved by the Military Control Commission." After a pause, Lu Ming said again: "Sili, the recent rectification of Heishan Mining Industry, Zhu Bureau himself said that it is not correct.
I can pick it up, so I plan to ask Si Li to help and nominate him as the deputy director of mining. It will not be a big problem for the Military Control Commission to approve it."
Hearing these words, Gao Shaoting was stunned.
Liu Sili and He Mojun were also completely unprepared and were equally stunned.
At this time, both Liu Sili and He Mojun had risen to the top several levels.
Although it is true that administrative officials in any region of the empire are not promoted step by step, for example, if a social figure whose ruling party wins the election is appointed as a cabinet minister, there will be no legal obstacles to his appointment.
This is especially true in Jiangning. When the governor is changed, the nominal county magistrate will be replaced.
But Liu Sili and He Mojun are both locals, and local officials usually gain promotion through seniority.
It took Gao Shaoting a long time to recover, and then he shook his head inwardly. This guy started messing around again. Those big guys from the Military Control Commission may give you face in trivial meetings, but when it comes to the promotion of important officials, you nominate just because you think you can
Military Commission passed? So naive.
Lu Ming looked at He Mojun, "Former Governor Gong Master has resigned. However, I think his behavior cannot be passed away just like that. You must instruct the prosecutor's office to file a case and investigate Master Gong's behavior."
, if it’s enough to sue, then sue; of course, you have to wait for your appointment to do this, so I’ll say hello to you in advance.”
He Mojun felt dizzy, but with outsiders around, it was hard to say anything about what he couldn't do because of his lack of ability. Now he would be insulting his brother-in-law by saying it, so he could only wait until no one was around to discuss it. He was completely unprepared, and even more so.
It's a black eye.
Gao Shaoting's eyes almost popped out of his head. He looked at Lu Ming like a monster. Why, your loyal servant, Lao Gong, can't even resign, but you still want to sue him? Want to send him to jail? You are really crazy.
I also thought it was extremely funny. He was such a young man. He was afraid that he would come and go in a hurry, and he would make a big mistake and leave before he could.
Over there, Lu Ming sighed, "Of course, Lao Gong's contribution to the development of Longgang is obvious to all, so if he is sued, Guangming Law Firm will represent his case. Let me take a look, if there are no procedural obstacles,
I will personally defend him. As for the trial, we will introduce the jury system of Donghai. In addition, the press will be completely liberalized. All Longgang people, including the jurors, have full right to know. Lao Gong does not need to bear criminal responsibility.
Let the public opinion in Longgang decide."
Gao Shaoting only thought it was extremely funny and sneered in his heart.
He Mojun was thoughtful and looked at Lu Ming with bright eyes.
Looking at her expression, Lu Ming smiled inwardly. This ex-sister-in-law could more or less guess what he was going to do, so he knew she would understand.
It's not in vain to have high hopes for her.
Thinking about it, there is really no one available in Longgang. Unlike in Donghai, where there are many talents under his command, any affairs officer has outstanding abilities, and many of his ideas are close to his own.
Simply, let's use nepotism and become dictatorial. As for what happens in the end, let's do everything we can and let fate dictate.
Thank you comrades for all your support in October, take a bow!
