Hou Liangping arrested a hawkish general, and his father-in-law panicked

"I was wrong! I was really wrong! Commander Zhao! I didn't recognize Mount Tai! I was blind! I really didn't know it was you!"

His voice was filled with tears, trembling and pleading, and every word was soaked in despair.

"Please! Please speak to the commander! Just say this is a misunderstanding! Please! I kowtow to you!"

His legs went weak and he actually wanted to kneel down, but the soldier behind him held him tightly, so he could only kick in vain in the air.

Chapter 107 Hou Liangping drags Sha Ruijin into the water

The huge one-way transparent glass looked at Hou Liangping begging for mercy.

It's too late to beg for mercy now.

Why didn't you consider the consequences when you tortured General Zhao Yuanchao?

Hou Liangping was in an ugly state inside the interrogation room, and the corridor outside the interrogation room was dead silent.

On the glass were reflected the faces of some of the most powerful people in Handong Province.

Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin stood in the middle with his hands behind his back and an expressionless face.

His gaze was as deep as an ancient well, without a trace of ripples.

Beside him is Gao Yuliang, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

Gao Yuliang narrowed his eyes slightly.

His eyes hidden behind the lenses sparkled with complexity and shrewdness.

Next to him is Li Dakang, Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

His brows were twisted into a knot.

Qi Tongwei, director of the Provincial Public Security Department, and Tian Guofu, member of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, lagged behind by half a step, standing solemnly with their hands hanging down.

Qi Tongwei's posture was respectful, his eyes observing the nose and his nose observing the heart, but he carefully observed the expressions of the three giants with the corner of his eyes.

Tian Guofu, the head of Handong Province's disciplinary inspection system, now looked even more gray than the floor tiles in the interrogation room.

His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, his lips trembled slightly, and he wished there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into.

In the interrogation room, Hou Liangping's pig-killing cries could be heard through the thick soundproof glass.

He burst into tears and begged incoherently, even trying to break free from the soldiers' grip and kneel down to Zhao Yuanchao.

His humble appearance formed the most glaring and ridiculous contrast with the way he acted at the interrogation table during the day, pointing fingers at others and claiming to be the embodiment of justice.

"What a damn shame!"

Li Dakang finally couldn't help it and squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

His voice was not loud, but in the silent corridor, it was like a thunder.

He glanced at Tian Guofu, whose face was pale beside him, and the contempt and anger in his eyes almost burst out.

"Prosecutor Tian, ​​this is the 'elite' sent by your Supreme People's Procuratorate? This is the 'sharp sword' of your Anti-Corruption Bureau? I think it's just a stick to stir up trouble!"

Tian Guofu trembled all over, his lips moved a few times, but he couldn't say a word.

What could he say?

It is said that Hou Liangping was forced here by Vice Minister Zhong?

It was you, Sha Ruijin, who agreed to it.

Hou Liangping is a subordinate unit of the Discipline Inspection Commission. Our Discipline Inspection Commission only asked Hou Liangping to arrest corrupt officials. Who asked him to arrest the army commander!

He said that he had long felt that Hou Liangping was too aggressive?

At this moment, any explanation seems pale and powerless, and seems like an attempt to shirk responsibility.

He could only lower his head and said in an almost pleading tone: "Secretary Sha, Secretary Gao... I... I am responsible. It's my fault for not supervising properly..."

Gao Yuliang adjusted his glasses and spoke slowly.

"Old Tian, ​​this matter can't be entirely blamed on you. It's good for young people to be aggressive, but if aggressiveness goes too far, it becomes foolishness. Comrade Hou Liangping has probably been in the capital for too long and doesn't understand the depths of the waters in Handong. He thought he could use chicken feathers as a token of authority, but what happened?"

He paused, his eyes swept over the figure in the glass who was being dragged, his feet rubbing weakly on the ground, and he chuckled.

"I didn't get the order, but I ended up being the first to become a chicken."

Gao Yuliang's gaze passed over Sha Ruijin's profile inconspicuously.

He has a clear mind.

Just now, in the conference room, facing the overwhelming pressure from the military, everyone thought that Handong was about to face a huge earthquake.

It was Sha Ruijin who, with just a few casual words, completed a brilliant move of "escaping from the shell" and a sharp move of "diverting the trouble to others".

He did not argue whether Hou Liangping's behavior represented Handong, but directly threw the question back - Hou Liangping's father-in-law was Zhong Zhengguo.

He came to Handong to handle the case with the imperial sword of the Supreme People's Procuratorate. In theory, the Handong local government only had the obligation to cooperate.

Now, the sword was unsheathed, but it hit the wrong person, the head of the commander of the 20th Army.

Who handed me this sword?

It’s Zhong Zhengguo.

This cleverly transformed the core of the contradiction from "the Handong Provincial Procuratorate system illegally detaining an active-duty military commander" to "a leading cadre of the Supreme People's Procuratorate's improper command, triggering serious conflict between the military and the local government."

The nature has completely changed.

Handong Province suddenly went from being the main responsible party to a secondary party implicated, and even to some extent, a victim.

High, it is high!

Gao Yuliang secretly admired in his heart.

This parachuted provincial party secretary seemed indifferent and low-key on weekdays, but once the critical moment came, his ruthlessness and meticulousness far exceeded his expectations.

Not only did he preserve the overall situation in Handong, he also did the military a favor, and invisibly dug a huge pit for Zhong Zhengguo who was far away in the capital.

At this moment, looking at Hou Liangping's ugly behavior in there, Gao Yuliang felt a morbid pleasure in his heart.

Hou Liangping, Hou Liangping, do you think you are Sun Wukong and can cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace?

Little did you know that you were crushed into a meat patty before you even saw their Five Finger Mountain.

And your teacher, your backer, is probably in trouble now.

"Woo... wow... let me go! I didn't mean it! I'm a prosecutor! You can't do this to me! This is an abuse of power! This is persecution!"

Hou Liangping's cries suddenly became clearer.

He was dragged out by the arms like a dead fish being pulled out of water. His trousers soaked in urine were particularly eye-catching under the bright light of the corridor.

The arms of the two military policemen were like iron clamps, tightly gripping Hou Liangping's shoulders, and groans of unbearable weight could be heard from the joints between his bones.

The instinct for survival overwhelmed all reason and dignity. He was like a drowning man, waving his arms frantically, trying to grab any possible life-saving straw, even if that straw itself was poisonous.

"let me go!"

His voice was hoarse and distorted, with a cry and desperate sharpness, "Do you know who I am?!"

The military police who were dragging him had no expression on their faces and their steps did not pause at all. He was just an object being processed.

This complete disregard made him collapse more than any humiliation.

Fear was like an icy tide, drowning his last remaining ability to think.

His mind was blank, with only a few well-known names in Handong Province remaining.

That was the support he once took pride in, and what he considered to be his confidence.

"I was transferred to Handong by Secretary Sha!"

Hou Liangping roared these words with all his might, his voice resonating distortedly in the empty, silent corridor. "Secretary Sha Ruijin! If you arrest me, you're slapping Secretary Sha in the face!"

For a moment, even the air in the corridor froze.

Sha Ruijin, who was standing outside the glass wall, suddenly stiffened his back.

Those words were like a bullet, piercing through the glass accurately, penetrating the safety barrier he had just built between himself and the storm, and piercing his back hard.

Chapter 108: Drag Sha Ruijin to Die Together

A chill suddenly rose from the tailbone without warning and instantly spread across the entire back.

Fine beads of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead and vest, soaking his shirt.

This idiot!

This complete idiot!

Sha Ruijin felt as if someone had gripped his heart, and his breathing stopped for half a second.

He had just spent a lot of effort and used a trick of "diverting the trouble to Zhong Zhengguo in the capital", and finally managed to pull Handong Province out of this mess.

But now, Hou Liangping, the general he personally appointed and the person he personally approved to be transferred, actually poured the dirty water back in the most stupid and direct way in front of everyone!

What is he going to do?

He's going to drag me down with him!

Sha Ruijin's mind buzzed and countless thoughts exploded.

He could almost feel the gazes of Gao Yuliang and Li Dakang beside him, like two invisible probes, piercing his cheek and back, spying on his slightest reaction.

He couldn't move or show any expression.

At this moment, any panic or eagerness to distance oneself from the matter will be interpreted as guilt and betrayal.

But if he did not respond, it would be tantamount to tacitly accepting Hou Liangping's "pledge of allegiance."

He, Sha Ruijin, became the main backer of this young man who caused such a huge disaster.

His facial muscles were tense as he tried hard to maintain the composure and dignity that a provincial party secretary should have.

But only he himself knew how tightly his teeth were clenched and how his temples were throbbing.

Behind the thick lenses of his glasses, the corners of Gao Yuliang's mouth curved into an almost imperceptible arc.

Really...
