Chapter 30: The final reckoning, the confrontation at the Standing Committee

The next morning, Yi Xuexue suddenly convened a meeting of the county party committee standing committee, and Li Dakang, who was having dinner with investors, had to rush back.

After everyone arrived, Yi Xuexi began to speak.

"Comrades, at the meeting of the municipal party committee yesterday, the municipal party committee leaders repeatedly emphasized that the case of Wang Liufu cannot be ignored and must be seriously held accountable. Today we will discuss this matter. Please express your opinions."

Yi Xuexi set the tone and clarified the theme of the meeting.

Li Dakang just sat down and took out his notebook, then slowly said, "Regarding the Wang Liufu case, I have already ordered the relevant departments to give appropriate compensation to the victim's family, but regarding the issue of accountability, I have no opinion for the time being."

When Yi Xuexi heard that Li Dakang had no objection, he glanced at Zhang Shunli, and Zhang Shunli immediately understood what he meant.

"Well... let me say a few words. The criminal case that occurred in the South City Development Zone this time was caused by the dereliction of duty and even lazy governance of our public security department. If we don't rectify the public security department, how will the Municipal Committee and the people view us?"

"I propose that Public Security Bureau Chief Yang Yunfei be removed from his post, otherwise it will be difficult to appease public anger."

Seeing that Zhang Shunli had spoken, Chen Yuandong, as the second-in-command of the Li family gang, certainly could not stand idly by.

"I don't agree with what Secretary Zhang said. As far as I know, the public security and stability of this county has always been the responsibility of Comrade Long Yunhai, Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau. If we want to hold someone accountable, we should hold him accountable. We can't wrongly accuse a good comrade."

Yi Xuexi sneered, "Secretary Chen, if that's what you said, then as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, do you have any responsibility? I think you do have some responsibility, right? Hahahaha."

Chen Yuandong's face immediately darkened. "Secretary Yi, as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, I have responsibilities. If the organization imposes any punishment, I will bear it."

"Hahaha", Yi Xuexue laughed inexplicably, "Secretary Chen, don't act on impulse, listen to other people's opinions"

Li Dakang put down his pen and looked at everyone. "Comrades, when it comes to responsibility, who doesn't have responsibility? We also have responsibility, and we also have to bear the main leadership responsibility. Does that mean the municipal party committee should also remove us from our positions? I don't think so."

"So, it doesn't mean that if you fail to do your job, you must be dismissed. Why can't we give our comrades a second chance? If you want to dismiss Comrade Yang Yunfei, I don't agree."

Both sides have expressed their stance, and it is now the turn of the neutral faction. Yi Xuexi and Li Dakang looked at Huang Weimin and others at the same time. Huang Weimin had no choice but to speak.

"I agree with what Secretary Zhang said. Comrade Yang Yunfei must bear an unshirkable responsibility for this case. Didn't County Magistrate Li say last time that we should settle accounts later? I think Secretary Yi presided over this meeting, which just happened to make it happen."

Yi Xuexi looked at Huang Weimin with satisfaction. He was the full-time deputy secretary of the county party committee and the third in command. He had a great say in both personnel appointments and major decision-making.

Li Dakang was a little surprised, but in order to save Yang Yunfei, he insisted, "Secretary Huang, I hope you will consider it carefully."

Huang Weimin waved his hand and smiled, "Don't think about it, County Magistrate Li, I support the removal of Yang Yunfei from the position of Public Security Bureau Chief."

"Hahaha, Secretary Huang is right. We must admit our mistakes and stand at attention when we are beaten. We must clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. Only in this way can we continue to motivate our cadres. Otherwise, if everyone loses their enthusiasm and vigilance, then we are finished."

Zhang Dashan, director of the county party committee office, jumped out and added another wave of assists.

Li Dakang shifted his attention to the Organization Minister Yan Haoqiang. If he could stand on his side, then Yang Yunfei could still be saved.

Yan Haoqiang knew that he couldn't remain mute any longer, so he strained his throat and said, "Ahem, uh... I do have some opinions on this matter. I generally agree with County Magistrate Li's point of view. I know Comrade Yang Yunfei very well. He is a man of party spirit and principles. I think we should protect him and not just kill him with one blow."

Li Dakang smiled brightly upon hearing this, "Minister Yan hit the nail on the head!"

Yi Xuexue snorted coldly, "Well then, let's vote now. Those who agree to remove Yang Yunfei, raise your hands."

Zhang Shunli immediately raised his hand, followed by Zhang Dashan, director of the county party committee office, Long Yiming, minister of propaganda, and Huang Weimin, deputy secretary of the county party committee, for a total of five people raised their hands.

Li Dakang smiled knowingly. There are eleven members in the Standing Committee. If only five of them agree, it will obviously not pass.

Yi Xuexi had a cold face as he stared at Zhou Zhengyi, the secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Development Zone and director of the Management Committee, who did not raise his hand. He was the one who pushed him to the position in the first place, but now he had defected to Li Dakang. This really made Yi Xuexi feel what it meant to be stabbed in the back.

However, Yi Xuexue thought again, if two people abstained from voting, wouldn't he still win? He then said, "Please raise your hands if you disagree with the removal of Comrade Yang Yunfei."

Li Dakang, Chen Yuandong, Yan Haoqiang, and Wang Dalu all raised their hands at the first opportunity. United Front Work Department Minister Luo Xiuyun also slowly extended her hand. She was the only female member of the Standing Committee and had been transferred from the municipal government last year.

Now the focus of the whole audience fell on Zhou Zhengyi. Zhou Zhengyi was a little helpless. Under Yi Xuexue's cold gaze, he never raised his hand to indicate that he abstained.

Li Dakang was happy to accept this result, but Yi Xuexue was obviously angry. This was a challenge to his authority as the top leader. Without even giving a summary, Yi Xuexue announced the adjournment of the meeting and stormed out.

Zhou Zhengyi was very regretful at this moment. He understood that he belonged neither to the Yi Xuexue faction nor to the Li Dakang faction, and he was also a standing committee member with a low ranking. He would definitely have a hard time in the future.

Li Dakang walked up to Zhou Zhengyi and patted him on the shoulder. "Zhengyi, I am very happy that you are not afraid of authority and have your own opinions. Don't feel any psychological burden. I support you."

After hearing what Li Dakang said, Zhou Zhengyi felt a little better and smiled. "Thank you, County Magistrate Li. I am just discussing the matter. I have no right to speak since I have not investigated. So I abstained."

"Hahaha, well said. Without investigation, you have no right to speak. Justice, you really impress me."

Afterwards, Li Dakang and his party walked out of the meeting room happily as if they had won a battle. Li Dakang was thinking in his mind that he had obviously not expected Yan Haoqiang and others to join him this time. In that case, he might as well strike while the iron is hot and bring those major investment projects to the Standing Committee and try to get them passed quickly.

Yi Xuexue suffered a setback this time because he did not expect that several neutral people would suddenly change their minds. In the past, he had suppressed Li Dakang in the Standing Committee meetings.

"Secretary Yi, what should we do now?"

Yi Xuexue's face condensed, and he seemed to have made a decision in his mind, "Li Dakang, let's wait and see"
