Ma Zhencai sat on the balcony all night. When his wife got up the next morning, she found that Ma Zhencai was missing. She found a note on the desk and became panicked, and then called Mo Jin.
"What? He went to turn himself in?" Mo Jin was struck by lightning after hearing the news!
Ma Zhencai has always had a good reputation in Xiaguang District, and the people have always believed that he is a good official who is honest and serves the people. But the fact is that Ma Zhencai served as deputy district mayor and district mayor for too long. After staying in the same position for a long time, he used his position to seek personal gain.
Ma Zhencai originally thought that everything would be over after his retirement, but he did not expect that his successor Fang Zhicheng would eventually find his omissions.
Ma Zhencai thought about it all night and found that the evidence could not be completely eliminated, so he finally chose to confess and told everything to the relevant departments.
Ma Zhencai's surrender was beyond the expectations of many people, even Fang Zhicheng did not expect this to happen. He originally thought that it would take a long time to find evidence. Then, there was another explosive news that the district party secretary Deng Shaoqun also surrendered. Ma Zhencai's voluntary surrender left Deng Shaoqun with no way out. He knew that no one could save him, so he could only confess everything himself.
Zhang Xiaoliang, who knew the truth, admired Fang Zhicheng very much. Fang Zhicheng simply used a tactic of making a warning to others. He visited Deng Shaoqun and mentioned the issue of the low price of land resources. Deng Shaoqun could not sit still and took the initiative to call Ma Zhencai. As for Ma Zhencai, he was so scared that he took the initiative to tell all his secrets.
The so-called bloodless victory is just this, Fang Zhicheng is simply amazing!
Chapter 0590: A bloodless victory
This is how the officialdom is. Officials who break the law and discipline do not live in peace. When there is any sign of trouble, they often become paranoid and even before they have solid evidence, they are often already worried and lose their composure.
Officials below the department level are more easily tempted by interests because they are in an environment close to the grassroots. They often find it difficult to control themselves when faced with sugar-coated bullets. If they take the wrong path by mistake, they will live an uncomfortable life.
The former mayor of Xiaguang District, Ma Zhencai, surrendered himself, which led to the current district party secretary Deng Shaoqun surrendering himself shortly afterwards. This matter is thought-provoking and also made Xia Lanshan, who is always known for his stability, quite embarrassed.
According to the self-surrender materials of Ma Zhencai and Deng Shaoqun, since 2004, the two have taken advantage of their positions to sell nearly 30 pieces of land at low prices, making a profit of 5 million yuan and causing a loss of nearly 50 million yuan in national resources.
Selling state resources at low prices is not uncommon in various places, especially since 2004, when the real estate sector was hot and investors bought land all over the country, and land became the main source of government revenue. Even in some southern cities, there are specialized land operation companies that do not invest in real estate projects, but use their relationship with the government to acquire land and then resell it.
After a piece of land is hyped up by several land management companies, the land price can reach a new high almost every month. However, this also creates great risks, because the land bubble will eventually burst, and once it bursts, banks will be the first to be affected, because the funds used by those land management companies to purchase land are all applied for from banks.
The land situation in Hanzhou is not that serious yet, but the problem has begun to emerge, so Fang Zhicheng's next step is to change the current fiscal revenue structure, transforming from complete reliance on land finance to obtaining more fiscal revenue from other places.
The officialdom of Xiaguang District has experienced an unprecedented huge shock, especially the fall of Deng Shaoqun, which has made many people uneasy. For this reason, the district committee decided to hold an enlarged meeting to appease the situation. The meeting was held in the district committee conference room. All members of the district committee standing committee attended the meeting. In addition, the main leaders of the district's directly affiliated departments and the heads of various streets and towns also attended the meeting.
Yin Xuewen, the deputy secretary in charge of party and mass work, presided over the meeting and said: "Comrades, recently, everyone knows one thing. Comrade Deng Shaoqun, the squad leader of our Xiaguang District, has been involved in serious violations of discipline and regulations and is now under investigation by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. After learning this news, my reaction was the same as everyone else's, incredible and extremely regretful! We cannot deny the various contributions Comrade Deng Shaoqun has made to our Xiaguang District over the years. He is a squad leader with great personal charm and ambition. Xiaguang has been able to develop steadily in the past two years, especially the leapfrog development this year, which is inseparable from his leadership. It is regrettable that Comrade Deng Shaoqun made a big mistake. The Central Committee repeatedly emphasized that we must maintain our original intentions and must not violate laws and disciplines, but he still did not stand the test. Of course, Comrade Deng Shaoqun finally came to his senses and took the initiative to confess everything to the organization. In view of his attitude, the organization will deal with him as appropriate. Now, please allow Comrade Fang Zhicheng, deputy secretary of the Party Committee, to speak."
Yin Xuewen said a lot before, and the people below actually knew it. The key point still lies in the last sentence. What happened to Deng Shaoqun is all in the past. Now everyone needs to focus on another person, that is, the deputy secretary of the district party committee and district mayor Fang Zhicheng.
Fang Zhicheng dressed up carefully today because he was going to attend a party committee meeting. Such occasions require a serious attitude, so he deliberately wore a pair of black-framed glasses, a black suit, and a dark red striped tie. However, although he pretended to be old, he looked only in his thirties. Compared with the leading cadres below who were in their forties on average, he still looked too young.
The General Affairs Department had already written a manuscript for him, so he just had to read it verbatim. However, Fang Zhicheng pushed the manuscript aside, coughed lightly, and said slowly: "Comrades, I have been nervous for two days and have not slept well in order to attend this meeting today."
When people heard Fang Zhicheng say this, there was laughter from the audience.
Fang Zhicheng also laughed self-deprecatingly, and waved his hands, saying, "The reason I was nervous was not because I knew I was going to speak on the stage. Rather, I was nervous about whether the problems of officials in Xiaguang District would be so serious that they were beyond repair. Because the former district head and district party secretary were both corrupt officials, and the generals were corrupt too. What kind of soldiers could such a general lead?"
After hearing this, the people below stopped laughing.
Fang Zhicheng's words were too sharp, like a sharp blade, piercing everyone's heart. Fang Zhicheng's meaning was very simple, the squad leader and the deputy squad leader were both corrupt officials, so wouldn't these junior cadres follow suit and be corrupt if they could
Fang Zhicheng saw that the meeting place had finally quieted down, and he sighed that he had finally calmed down these old hands. He said very seriously: "Comrades, I shouldn't be the only one who is nervous. You should be nervous too. Because you must review your previous actions. You should reflect deeply on whether you have violated the oath you made under the party flag, whether you have fulfilled your duties, and consistently made selfless contributions to the people."
The expressions of most of the officials below began to change. Yin Xuewen's speech just now was mainly aimed at calming everyone's emotions, but Fang Zhicheng's words went the other way. They were meant to strike back at these officials and make them reflect on themselves deeply.
Fang Zhicheng coughed lightly and said slowly: "Secretary Xuewen just said that Comrade Shaoqun has made contributions to our Xiaguang, but I don't agree with this. Economic development and social stability are the basic duties of our civil servants. Our salaries come from taxes paid by the people. We must do our job well to be worthy of our salaries. As for Comrade Deng Shaoqun's violation of discipline and regulations, I am deeply ashamed. His corruption and bribery not only led to a waste of national resources, but also affected the people's views on our party members."
After Fang Zhicheng said this, everyone looked at each other in surprise, because they didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to not give Deng Shaoqun any face at all.
However, everyone knew that Fang Zhicheng and Deng Shaoqun had been fighting fiercely, so it was natural for him to say so. His competitor had now fallen, so why didn't he beat the fallen dog
Fang Zhicheng took a sip of tea and changed the subject, saying, "Comrades, Comrade Deng Shaoqun is a negative example. I hope that you will be conscientious and honest in your future work. At the same time, I also promise you that Xiaguang District will not undergo major changes and adjustments because of this incident. In short, no matter what Deng Shaoqun said or whose names he mentioned, I will give you a reassurance and help you withstand the pressure."
After Fang Zhicheng finished speaking, everyone suddenly felt relieved. After all, Deng Shaoqun was corrupt, and those 30 pieces of land were related to multiple streets and towns. Grassroots leaders must have been involved as well. If Deng Shaoqun told the truth, it would probably implicate a group of people.
Fang Zhicheng's first few words were harsh, but his latter words were somewhat humane. Everyone present felt a mixture of emotions and sighed.
Yin Xuewen, who was sitting next to Fang Zhicheng, raised his glasses several times. Fang Zhicheng's words on the podium were more sophisticated than he had expected. Yin Xuewen originally thought that Fang Zhicheng was an excellent young man who had unique skills in government affairs, but might not be familiar with party affairs.
However, Fang Zhicheng's words were sophisticated and sharp, shocking everyone present.
In the minds of Xiaguang officials, Deng Shaoqun has always been a very powerful leader. Judging from today's meeting, this young man who was able to rise to power by stepping on Deng Shaoqun's shoulders is no pushover either.
Yin Xuewen has always been very low-key. He sighed secretly. In this Xiaguang District, he should keep a low profile for a short period of time. Otherwise, if Fang Zhicheng hit him, he would not be able to bear it.
After the meeting, Fang Zhicheng walked out in front, Cheng Hao and Zhang Xiaoliang were half a step shorter than him, standing on either side of him, like bodyguards. Executive Deputy District Chief Mo Jin walked at the back with a sad look on his face. His mixed feelings were not because Deng Shaoqun surrendered, but because Ma Zhencai would have to reveal a lot of things if he surrendered.
At the beginning, Mo Jin was Ma Zhencai's deputy, and many things went through Mo Jin's hands. Of course, fortunately, Mo Jin did not take the opportunity to make any money.
Jiao Zhengcai walked up to Mo Jin without knowing when, and sighed in a low voice: "Xiaguang District is officially entering the 'Fang Era'."
Mo Jin shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying self-deprecatingly: "Many people are shocked!"
Jiao Zhengcai nodded and sighed: "Who would have thought that the district chief who did nothing in the first three months would do so many things once he exploded?"
Fang Zhicheng reached the highest point of power in Xiaguang District in less than half a year, which surprised many people, because many people thought that according to the exclusive official atmosphere in Xiaguang District, the young Fang Zhicheng would probably have to leave with hatred in less than half a year.
However, it turned out that these people were wrong. Fang Zhicheng not only did not leave, but wanted to transform Xiaguang District into a city with his unique personal charm.
Mo Jin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It's a good thing that Xiaguang District has such a young squad leader. The integration of Qiong and Han has started, and there are frequent good news about attracting investment. I am now looking forward to what Xiaguang District will look like in five years!"
