PS: Two days ago, a friend said in the group that someone around him was fascinated by the book "Hong Kong Heroes" and asked him N times a day, "Is there an update?" After Lao Chu found out about this, he felt quite complicated. On the one hand, I am very happy for everyone. I like this book. On the other hand, reading is just a part of life. Don't delay other things.
"I know, thank you for your advice," Tong Haizhou smiled meaningfully: "Okay, I have something else to do, let's talk another day."
"See you,"
After hanging up the phone, Tong Haizhou packed up and was about to go out.
Tongtong was sitting in the living room munching on a bun. When he saw Tong Haizhou, he ran over and asked, "How's it going?"
"It's nothing," Tong Haizhou smiled: "It won't take a few days for the person to be released."
"That's good," Tongtong patted his chest gently and swallowed the food in his mouth: "I knew you could accomplish this,"
"By the way, you are so anxious Ling Cang..." Tong Haizhou looked at his daughter and smiled: "Why?"
"Because he is our president," Tongtong replied seriously: "Although he is a bit...a bit like that, he still has a very sense of justice. This time he went to the capital to participate in the competition, and he gave us a Zhong Zengguang,"
"anything else,"
"Also... we must support him even more when he fights against that evil boy Zhang Yi,"
"that is all,"
"yes,"
"I don't think so," Tong Haizhou looked at his daughter and shook his head slowly: "You have a lot of friends at school, and they usually cause trouble outside. Why haven't I heard you plead for anyone?"
"Ah..." Tongtong replied slowly, "Ling Cang... is my leader... I always want to flatter you,"
Tong Haizhou touched the top of his daughter's head and did not continue the topic: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to your grandpa's place. You can have a good meal at home."
Tong Zhengrong had just finished his meal and was sitting in the yard drinking tea. He saw his son walking in a hurry and asked casually: "Are you busy?"
"Yes," Tong Haizhou sat down opposite his father and said worriedly, "I heard something. Ling Cang was arrested."
"Oh," Tong Zhengrong raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why?"
"Beat a bad boy..."
Hearing Tong Haizhou tell what happened, Tong Zhengrong laughed loudly: "Well done, Ling Cang is indeed my man,"
Tong Haizhou sighed and said: "Things are very troublesome now, but you still have the heart to applaud..."
"Shouldn't we be applauded?" Tong Zhengrong snorted loudly: "The four bullshit sons of the capital, if you don't deal with them, none of them will know how high the sky is."
"But Lingcang also took care of himself,"
"You still can't think of a way to solve this matter,"
"Dad, I am the director of Minghai. Ling Cang committed the crime in the capital." After a pause, Tong Haizhou said helplessly: "I just had a phone call with Zhao Chenglong, and the other party refused to meet in person at all."
"Zhao Chenglong, Chief of the Beijing Public Security Bureau,"
"right,"
"I have met this person, but I don't know much about him." After taking a sip of tea, Tong Zhengrong asked, "How is this person?"
"nicknamed Smiling Tiger," Tong Haizhou lit up a cigarette and took a puff: "He is always smiling all day long. He looks approachable and very generous, but in fact he has a ruthless mind. I heard that people often come to him for help. , He promised well every time, but no matter what kind of relatives or friends the other party was, if he didn't give enough blood, he would never help at all,"
"What did he say about Ling Cang?"
"He wants to listen to the Zhang family's wishes,"
"So, from your point of view, Ling Cang's matter cannot be settled,"
"Yes," Tong Haizhou admitted helplessly: "That's why I came to discuss it with you."
"Zhao Chenglong..." Tong Zhengrong stood up and stomped in the yard: "He should know our relationship, but he didn't give you face when you spoke."
"Yes," Tong Haizhou nodded: "Also, there was something he said that was very thought-provoking."
"What,"
"He said that Tongtong and Ling Cang were classmates. Maybe Ling Cang's parents came to me to plead for mercy, so I called him. But since he knew about this, he should have investigated Ling Cang's background. Since Ling Cang He is an orphan, where do his parents come from?”
"This is confusing you. He knows it well. The reason why he said this is to find a step for you to climb down." After a pause, Tong Zhengrong asked again: "By the way, he has a good relationship with the Zhang family."
"Yes," Tong Haizhou nodded and said calmly: "Since he doesn't agree, he can only ask you to come forward or do the work from the ministry."
"If the Ministry of Public Security exerts pressure, Zhao Chenglong will definitely give in, but he will be unwilling to accept it." Tong Zhengrong sat down and said thoughtfully: "So it's up to me to do this, but I won't To speak directly to Zhao Chenglong would be a bit too flattering to him,"
Tong Zhengrong is in charge of national security work, including the police system. However, Tong Zhengrong is a soldier after all and does not directly lead the police.
As the saying goes, the highest official rank kills everyone. The Ministry of Public Security is Zhao Chenglong’s superior, and Tong Zhengrong can be regarded as the superior of the Ministry of Public Security. Although the county magistrate is sometimes not as good as the current one, Tong Zhengrong, his immediate boss, still manages it. Win anyone.
A working meeting was held in the city. After it was over, the executive deputy mayor invited Zhao Chenglong to his office: "Recently, a man named Ling Cang was imprisoned in the detention center because of a fight."
"Yes," Zhao Chenglong was shocked, wondering why even the deputy mayor would ask about this matter.
"I just received instructions from above..." the deputy mayor said, putting a piece of paper in front of Zhao Chenglong: "This person must be released,"
This note was not a formal document, just an instruction, but instructions are often more effective than official documents. Zhao Chenglong looked at the signature of the instruction and frowned: "How could such a high-level leader speak?"
"I don't know," the executive deputy mayor shook his head: "But as early as a few days ago, some leaders have spoken."
"For the sake of this Ling Cang, who is it?"
"Yes, and it's another leader," the deputy mayor pointed to the top, and then added: "However, the top didn't say anything. They just asked for more care and don't let this child suffer."
"Why don't I know,"
"I don't know why the higher-ups didn't tell you,"
"Why didn't you tell me, too?"
The deputy mayor smiled and explained: "I thought about the matter very simply at the time, so I didn't tell you and just said hello to the people below,"
"Really?" Zhao Chenglong felt very unhappy. As the leader of the Beijing police system, he did not tell himself what his superiors told him. Instead, he told others that this was overstepping the rules. According to the folk proverb in the capital, it was "separation". "Setting the pot on the table and the kang", Zhao Chenglong didn't take him seriously at all.
But although Zhao Chenglong is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and has the same rank as the deputy mayor, the latter's status is above him, so he dares to be angry but dare not speak out.
"This time, Chief Tong directly asked for his release, and we must respect it,"
The instructions were given by Tong Zhengrong. Zhao Chenglong was constantly suspicious and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Of course Zhao Chenglong knew that Tong Zhengrong was Tong Haizhou's father, and he also knew that Tong Zhengrong was not someone he could afford to mess with. The reason why he dared to reject Tong Haizhou was because of another consideration.
The ministry now needs to appoint a permanent deputy minister, and Tong Haizhou and Zhao Chenglong have the best hopes.
Speaking of which, Tong Haizhou and Zhao Chenglong are already at the deputy ministerial level. If they serve as deputy ministers, it will only be considered a horizontal transfer. Being an official in the ministry will be more authoritative, and it will be more affordable to continue to hold the current position. Each has its own merits.
But things are not that simple. The current minister is old and there is no other more suitable successor. This deputy minister will definitely take his place in the future. Once he becomes a minister, if he performs well, he will definitely serve as the central | central | political | legal Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, if he works hard for a few more years and is promoted to full-time Secretary, that means he may become a member of the Politburo.
In other words, the lack of this deputy minister is actually a stepping stone to enter the country's highest authority.
Tong Zhengrong is a powerful figure in the army, and Tong Haizhou has a much higher chance of taking up the position than Zhao Chenglong. Zhao Chenglong has a kind of grudge mentality and does not want to be overshadowed by Tong Haizhou in every situation. More importantly, as a superior, he must You need someone to support you, and you need to have enough friends.
As his competitor, Tong Haizhou was not a good friend at all, but the Zhang family was. In comparison, Zhao Chenglong felt that he could not offend the Zhang family for this, so he refused to release Ling Cang.
However, this is also because Zhao Chenglong did not expect that Tong Zhengrong would intervene, because Ling Cang was just a little kid and seemed to have no ability to invite Tong Zhengrong.
As for the Ling Cang incident itself, Zhao Chenglong knew from the beginning that the Zhang family had already greeted him, but he didn't take it seriously and didn't ask anything about it afterwards. He had no idea what Ling Cang's situation was in the detention center.
"I know you have opinions..." The deputy mayor looked at Zhao Chenglong's expression and said slowly: "However, things have become like this, and we can only obey."
"I have no objection," Zhao Chenglong forced a smile: "I will go back and make arrangements to release the person."
"Not now," the deputy mayor pointed to the note and reminded: "It was requested to be released in two days."
"I see,"
"And..." Seeing Zhao Chenglong turning around to go out, the deputy mayor added: "There are only two days left. I don't want anything to happen during this period. It's best to let Ling Cang stay in peace."
Zhao Chenglong originally wanted to use this time to punish Ling Cang, but he didn't expect to be seen through, so he had no choice but to respond: "I know,"
"That's good," the deputy mayor nodded reassuringly: "As for how to deal with the next matter, I suggest that the Zhang family and Ling Cang sit down and talk. It is meaningless and useless to fight like this. If you use it, both sides will suffer in the end."
