Chapter 617: The 29th Night of the Twelfth Month 5
There were all kinds of exclamations and discussions in the crowd. No one would have thought that Su Yu, who was usually kind and friendly to others, was already a deputy director-level cadre. Think about the section chiefs and department heads in your own unit. Which one of them didn't deliberately put on an air of majestic leadership in front of others?
Most of the people present were cadres and employees of the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and some were staff members of other government departments. Therefore, they had a certain understanding of the situation within the system. At this time, many people looked at Deputy County Magistrate Zheng and others with sarcastic eyes.
You should know that not long ago, first Deputy County Chief Zheng, and then Chief Liao of the Public Security Bureau of Shunyi County, both brazenly called themselves leading cadres in front of Su Yu and her daughter. Chief Liao even slandered Su Yu on the spot, accusing her of being involved in a vicious murder case in Shunyi County. Of course, everyone could hear that Chief Liao was deliberately threatening Su Yu.
But now the nature of the matter has undergone a fundamental change. Section Chief Liao openly slandered a deputy director-level leading cadre. One can imagine the fate that awaits him.
As for Deputy County Magistrate Zheng, the outcome is probably not going to be any better. His own son broke the law and has been arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau. He actually dared to bring people to one of the victims, using threats and inducements to coerce the other party to go to the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau to exonerate his son. Now he is completely screwed.
At this moment, Deputy County Magistrate Zheng's face seemed to be dyeing a room, changing colors constantly. He could not believe it. He never expected that his son would dare to instigate Chu Hongjun, the equally brainless Deputy Chief of the Security Section of the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau, to instruct gangsters to intercept Su Yu, a director-level leading cadre, with guns. The nature of this case was extremely bad. If he had known Su Yu's identity in advance, Deputy County Magistrate Zheng would definitely have immediately drawn a line with his son and severed the father-son relationship. Unfortunately, he did not know that the identity and status of the person driving the jeep was even more astonishing. His son, knowing that Lin Yu was the deputy secretary and deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, the secretary of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and a senior leading cadre at the administrative level of a bureau, still committed the bad act of deliberately instigating Chu Hongjun. It was a foregone conclusion that he would be severely punished. It was a pity that Deputy County Magistrate Zheng entrusted his work to the wrong person. Captain Yao of the Municipal Bureau's Public Security Brigade only found out a little bit, and that's how he helped Deputy County Magistrate Zheng come up with this idea.
Section Chief Liao was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweats. His face, which was originally flushed due to drinking, was now completely pale. God knew what stupid thing he had just done. He actually took advantage of the alcohol and slandered a director-level leading cadre in public for being involved in a vicious murder case that happened in Shunyi area. Wasn't he just like an old man eating arsenic and looking for death?
For a moment, Section Chief Liao was at a loss, his mind was in a mess, and he really didn't know how to end it.
It was Zheng Rongyao, the deputy head of Shunyi County, who calmed down first. He was no longer thinking about saving his rebellious son Zheng Xiangqian, but how he could get away from here as soon as possible. He understood the principle of sacrificing the car to save the driver.
Zheng Rongyao then said with a big smile on his face, "Comrade, this is all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. We don't know Director Su's identity either. We are sorry for offending you. Please forgive us."
Zhou Huang sneered disdainfully and said, "From what you, Deputy County Magistrate Zheng, said, if Comrade Su Yu was not the office director of Consultant Lin, he should be slandered by you? Your son took the initiative to instigate Chu Hongjun, the deputy chief of the security section of the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau, to instruct gangsters to intercept Consultant Lin and Comrade Su Yu's jeep with guns, and Zheng Xiangqian, knowing the true identity of Consultant Lin, also pointed out the vehicle that Consultant Lin and Comrade Su Yu were riding in to those gangsters. This criminal act must be severely punished. Zheng Xiangqian has committed such a serious crime. As the deputy county magistrate of Shunyi County Government, you not only did not take the initiative to draw a clear line with the criminal Zheng Xiangqian, but instead tried to threaten and force Comrade Su Yu, one of the victims, to go to the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau to exonerate Zheng Xiangqian. Since you, Deputy County Magistrate Zheng, are here, you don't have to go back. Wait for the review of the relevant superior departments."
Section Chief Liao, who had been looking panic-stricken, suddenly reacted and shouted, "Leader, I was deceived by Zheng Rongyao. He was the one who privately asked me to threaten Director Su and her daughter at a critical moment. He is the deputy head of Shunyi County Government, and I dare not disobey his orders."
At this point, Chief Liao suddenly pointed at the two security officers who came with him and said loudly, "If you don't believe me, you can ask them. It was really Zheng Rongyao who forced us to come here."
The two security guards looked at each other and immediately understood what he meant. They echoed loudly, "Yes, it was Zheng Rongyao who forced us to come here. He is the deputy head of Shunyi County Government, and we dare not disobey him."
The two security team members understood everything at this time. They originally thought that they were just running errands, just like usual, just coming out to scare people. Not only could they have a big meal, but they were also given ten yuan each as a hard work fee. But now they found out that it turned out that the son of Deputy County Magistrate Zheng Rongyao had made such a fuss. Knowing that Lin Yu was a senior leader, he instigated Chu Hongjun, deputy chief of the Security Section of the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and ordered gangsters to intercept Lin Yu and Su Yu's jeep with guns. How could they, who work in the Public Security Bureau, not be unaware of the seriousness of this criminal behavior? Not to mention Zheng Xiangqian, the main criminal, Deputy County Chief Zheng Rongyao foolishly barged in without inquiring clearly in advance, and even went to Su Yu, a director-level leading cadre, to coerce and bribe Su Yu to go to the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau to give false testimony. Just based on what Zheng Rongyao did tonight, he couldn't expect to get away with it smoothly. Now is the time to sacrifice my friend's life rather than my own. They felt that they had no choice but to put all the blame on Zheng Rongyao and try their best to save themselves.
When Zheng Rongyao heard what Chief Liao and the others said, he was so angry that his hands were shaking: "You are talking nonsense, it's completely nonsense."
Zhou Huang didn't want to waste time with these guys, so he said to the public security personnel from Dongzhimen Police Station who were squeezing in through the crowd, "Comrades from Dongzhimen Police Station, you've arrived just in time. Now I'll let you escort these people back and hand them over to Director Bai of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau tomorrow morning."
The leading public security officer was none other than Deputy Chief Xiao of the Dongzhimen Police Station. He was on duty at the station tonight. Just now someone came to call the police, saying that Zheng Xiangqian's parents brought three people to cause trouble in the courtyard where Comrade Su Yu lived.
