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

Zhao Lichun’s return is like the return of their backbone and a shot in the arm for them.

For himself and the new provincial party secretary, this was the most direct challenge and the most blatant demonstration.

Sha Ruijin's eyes swept across Gao Yuliang's seemingly calm face.

Let him go alone?

That was tantamount to announcing to the entire Handong officialdom that Sha Ruijin had chosen to retreat in the first round of confrontation between the new and old forces.

Then the meeting between Gao Yuliang and Zhao Lichun will become a pre-war meeting to attack himself.

Impossible.

Sha Ruijin's face was as calm as water, without any ripples. The violent earthquake in his heart just now never happened.

He spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful, each word ringing with force: "The old secretary has returned, and we should go together. Comrade Yuliang, let's go together to greet Secretary Zhao."

Instead of saying "I'll go with you", he said "Let's go together", cleverly taking the initiative back into his own hands.

He is the current Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee. Welcoming his predecessor is both his duty and his power.

Gao Yuliang's eyes flickered behind his glasses, and then he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll follow Secretary Sha's arrangements."

The two walked out side by side, their steps steady and their backs straight.

Under the complicated gazes of the provincial party committee standing committee members behind them, they were like two knights about to step onto the duel field, with shiny armor and sheathed swords. But no one knew whose sword would be unsheathed first when they met the "old king".

At the same time, the Provincial Public Security Department.

The atmosphere was depressing.

A heavy soundproof door divides the world into two halves.

Outside the door is the corridor of power.

More than a dozen officers with general stars on their shoulders stood solemnly. They were either from the 20th Army or from the Jingzhou Armed Forces. Their uniforms were as straight as swords. The golden ears of wheat and the shining general stars formed a suffocating pressure, making the surrounding police officers in uniform dare not even breathe.

The center of this force is Zhao Yuanchao.

Chapter 112 Zhong Zhengguo is finished!

Zhao Yuanchao stood in front of the one-way glass of the interrogation room, staring at the haggard figure inside with an expressionless face.

His gaze was like a cold searchlight, sweeping across Ji Changming's haggard face, his bloodshot eyes, and the glaring silver handcuffs on his wrists.

"Uncuff the quarterly inspection officer."

Zhao Yuanchao's voice was very soft, but it carried an irresistible command that pierced through the dead silence.

Chief of Staff Zhou Shoujing behind him immediately nodded to a special service soldier who was armed to the teeth.

"Click."

The door to the interrogation room was pushed open.

Ji Changming, like a trapped beast, was startled and suddenly raised his head, his cloudy eyes filled with fear and confusion.

The soldier who came in walked straight up to him without saying a word and took out the key.

The sound of cold metal colliding was particularly clear in the silent interrogation room.

"Click."

The handcuffs that had handcuffed him for hours, humiliated him, and almost eroded his dignity for half his life, came loose.

A warm current instantly surged through Ji Changming's limbs and bones.

He felt like a drowning man who was pulled out of the water at the last moment before sinking into darkness.

His lungs greedily inhaled the first breath of fresh air, and the dizziness and ecstasy of surviving the disaster almost made him collapse to the ground.

saved!

The sky is clear!

Ji Changming subconsciously rubbed his purple wrists vigorously. The two deep marks on them were burning with pain, but they also reminded him how desperate his situation was just now.

Endless grievances and fears surged in his heart.

What did he do wrong?

He did nothing wrong!

It’s Hou Liangping!

It’s that ignorant young man who doesn’t know his place!

The young man whom he had promoted and had high hopes for suddenly turned into a mad bull. Not only did he bump his head and bleed, but he also dragged him, the old prosecutor, into the quagmire.

False accusation!

This is a blatant false accusation!

That idiot Hou Liangping actually dared to fabricate lies for his ridiculous achievements and use his position as the face of the Provincial Procuratorate as a shield!

Now, the misunderstanding has finally been resolved.

Ji Changming raised his head and through the inky black one-way glass, he could see the fair and majestic gaze outside.

It was General Zhao Yuanchao. He must have found out the truth and knew that he was innocent!

An indescribable feeling of gratitude rose from the bottom of my heart.

In Ji Changming's confused mind at this moment, Zhao Yuanchao was no longer the warlord who brazenly mobilized the army and attacked the local area, but a savior who restored order and was keen-sighted.

Just as Ji Changming was immersed in the relief of surviving the disaster, the atmosphere in the corridor froze again because of the arrival of another person.

The heavy soundproof door was pushed open by a civilian cadre, and the figure of Tian Guofu, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, appeared at the door.

He was wearing a dark Mao suit, a pair of shiny black leather shoes, and his hair was neatly combed.

Compared with the generals and neatly trimmed military uniforms filling the corridor, he seemed out of place.

Tian Guofu's eyes swept across the audience calmly.

He did not look at the officers carrying the stars on their shoulders, nor did he look at Qi Tongwei who was standing with his hands hanging down. His gaze passed over everyone and fell on Zhao Yuanchao who was standing in front of the one-way glass.

The eyes of two people at the top of different power systems met silently in the air.

A violent machine representing the country, sharp and murderous with weapons and iron horses.

One represents the party's disciplinary yardstick, strict and restrained, with a solemnity that comes from being intimidating without even getting angry.

The generals and officers around felt the subtle change in the atmosphere. They stood even straighter, their eyes gleaming with lightning, but they all remained silent tacitly, leaving space for their commander.

Tian Guofu finally took a step forward, walking in slowly and steadily.

Qi Tongwei's heart was in his throat.

As the head of the Public Security Department, he felt like a lone grasshopper on a boat in a storm. Whether it was the wind from the army or the rain from the Discipline Inspection Commission, any gust of wind could push him into an abyss from which there was no escape.

He must do something and demonstrate his value in front of these giants.

Just when Tian Guofu was only three steps away from Zhao Yuanchao and was about to speak, Qi Tongwei seized the opportunity.

He took a step forward, bowed slightly, and spoke in a low voice, a mixture of respect and urgency.

"Chief."

His voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear every word clearly.

Zhao Yuanchao shifted his gaze away from Tian Guofu and glanced at him lightly. He didn't say anything, but it was a silent permission.

Qi Tongwei felt a layer of cold sweat on his back. He licked his dry lips and continued to report: "Just received news. Secretary Zhao Lichun has arrived in Handong."

As soon as the name came out, the air was sucked out for a moment.

Zhao Lichun!

The former provincial party secretary has been running Handong for decades. His students and former officials are spread across the province, and his network of relationships is intricate. Although he has been promoted, his influence on Handong is still like an invisible giant hand, looming over everyone's heads.

Why would he come back at this time?

Qi Tongwei didn't dare look up at Zhao Yuanchao's expression. He nervously stared at the tip of his shoe and completed the second half of the sentence: "Secretary Sha Ruijin and... Secretary Gao Yuliang have already gone to the airport to greet us in person."

When he said the words "Secretary Gao Yuliang", his voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees.

Everyone knows that Qi Tongwei was promoted by Gao Yuliang and is the most famous student in the Political Science and Law Department of Han University.

At this critical juncture, his teacher went to greet Zhao Lichun. The signal behind this was enough to make anyone think about it.

He was reporting on his work, and also distancing himself in disguise, making it clear to Zhao Yuanchao that he was only loyal to the "leader" in front of him who held military power.

The corridor fell into dead silence.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Yuanchao, waiting for his reaction.

Is it anger?

Is it solemn?

Or fear?

However, it was beyond everyone's expectations.

There was no emotion on Zhao Yuanchao's face. There wasn't even a superfluous expression on that resolute face that looked as if it had been carved by a knife or an axe.

He just raised his eyebrows slowly and imperceptibly.

The movement was very slight, but it threw a stone into the calm lake, creating ripples.

Then, his low and magnetic voice sounded, with a faint smile. A spectator sitting in the theater enjoying the show showed great interest in the new character who had just appeared.

"Zhao Lichun is here."

He repeated this fact, then slowly turned his head and met Tian Guofu's gaze again. The corners of his mouth seemed to curve slightly, but then quickly disappeared.

"This drama is getting more and more exciting."

It seems that Zhong Zhengguo is finished!

Chapter 113: The hometowns of students are all over Handong, who are they trying to scare?

Zhao Lichun is here.
