Longgang County Court.
When the chief judge ruled that Mr. Gong was sentenced to three years in prison for abuse of power, suspended for five years and required to perform 1,000 hours of community service during the probation period, and then left the court, there was a click and flash cameras went on one after another.
This case involving Mr. Gong, the former county magistrate, lasted for several months and finally came to a final conclusion.
In fact, three days ago, the jury had already found Mr. Gong guilty, but recommended that the court exempt him from actual sentencing.
In Montenegro's legal reform, juries were given the power to recommend sentencing.
Today is the day when the judge will announce the sentencing, and everything is settled.
All kinds of cameras, both long and short, and flash lights were mostly aimed at General Lu in the gallery, the cold and powerful man who personally sent his own assistant to court.
However, in Montenegro, people more often call him Lu Qingtian.
The protracted Mr. Gong case has dominated the headlines of various news reports almost on a daily basis for several months, and the trial process has even been turned into a storytelling in teahouses.
It has brought a huge impact on the traditional concepts of the people in Heishan and even Jiangning.
Throughout the trial, General Lu never expressed any opinion on the matter, and always regarded it as a legal issue that should be resolved in court.
However, on the final day of judgment, General Lu finally showed up and immediately became the focus of the cameras of journalists from all over the province.
In fact, on both sides of General Lu were Zhao Longji, the chief prosecutor of the Heishan Headquarters Procuratorate, Zhao Jingxun, the chairman of the Heishan Headquarters General Office, Deng Xingjun, the chairman of the Heishan Headquarters Legal Affairs Committee, Wei Baoyi, the chairman of the Heishan Headquarters Finance Committee, Wen Liangru, the chairman of the Heishan Headquarters Industrial Committee, Li Jinhong, the chairman of the Heishan Headquarters Agricultural Committee, Gu Hansheng, the chief superintendent of the Heishan Headquarters Metropolitan Police Department, and other senior officials of the Heishan Headquarters.
The mayors of the three cities of Heishan, Jingyang and Longhe, which are under the jurisdiction of the Heishan Headquarters, are also present.
In addition, there are the county governor He Mojun and several important officials of the county.
In addition, Chen Qinghua, deputy director of the Jiangbei Nanpingdao Procuratorate, brought several senior prosecutors from the Nanping Procuratorate to learn advanced experiences.
The crowd of officials following Lu Ming almost occupied half of the gallery.
But almost all the cameras were still aimed at General Lu.
Lu Ming felt somewhat helpless as he had not originally invited so many officials to sit in on the trial with him.
Chief Prosecutor Zhao Longji and Legal Affairs Committee Chairman Deng Xingjun came on their own initiative, as this was after all a matter within their purview.
The rest all came here on their own.
The Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner Gu Hansheng can be said to be somewhat related.
But the Finance Committee, Agriculture Committee, Industry Committee and other committees that have nothing to do with the company also came.
The commissioners or mayors of the three cities under their jurisdiction also came, including Xia Liren, the commissioner of the Montenegro City Office. He might have been reluctant but had to come. After all, he should have known that the officials of the other two cities would also be there, and he didn't want to appear special.
Among the senior officials of the Black Mountain Camp, Wei Baoyi, Chairman of the Finance Committee, and Wen Liangren, Chairman of the Industry Committee, both came from Donghai.
It seems that he can fit in well with the environment and is so well-informed.
But no matter what, there is indeed a local faction and an East China Sea gang in the Black Mountain Camp.
Lu Ming doesn't care about these things. There is no faction under his rule, and everyone is weird.
Any power structure will inevitably have various factions, which is also a form of checks and balances.
If there really were no distinction between factions, this structure would be truly dangerous.
Wei Baoyi, the chairman of the Finance Committee, is a distant cousin of Wei Baozeng. The two have a very distant relationship. Wei Baoyi comes from a poor family, but he is extremely capable and has done an excellent job at Baoyin Bank. Lu Ming has long been optimistic about him.
Wen Liangru, chairman of the Industrial Committee, is Wen Liangyu's third brother and the third of the five Wen family tigers.
Wen Liangru did not get any share of the gangster legacy left by his father, and he was not interested in any of it. He was an outlier among the five Wen family members. He was a small civil servant in the Beiguan Industrial Department, and now he can be said to have risen to fame overnight.
Of course, the talents that Lu Ming recruited from the East China Sea must have gone through various inspections and been carefully selected.
But generally speaking, if there is a bright development prospect in Donghai, people will not come to Jiangning. They will resist subconsciously. Even if they come reluctantly, they don't know how to adapt to the local customs, act condescendingly, and copy all administrative affairs from Donghai, which will only bring a lot of trouble.
But it is a bit frustrating that Wei Baoyi and Wen Liangru knew how to express their loyalty and keep up with the situation so quickly.
A Finance Committee and an Industry Committee, why are they here to join in the fun
It can only be regarded as a warning education!
Lu Ming muttered to himself, but kept a calm face. He waved to the reporters from afar, shook hands with He Mojun, and left surrounded by a sea of officials, leaving behind a barrage of flashes of light that brightened one after another.
Looking at Lu Ming's leaving back, He Mojun was a little stunned. This brother-in-law was becoming less and less like the person he once knew.
Faintly, there is already the arrogance of a local lord.
Looking at the several important officials of the county who were also standing respectfully with their hands lowered, He Mojun smiled bitterly in his heart. Even now, he still felt like he was dreaming.
…
Shili Villa is where General Lu spends most of his time handling official business.
The small town of Shilipu has become much more prosperous, and armed sentries can be seen everywhere in the town.
A small airport has been built near Shili Villa. Of course, it is a cement platform of more than 100 meters, which can take off and land medium-sized propeller aircraft such as the Golden Shield No. 1 and various helicopters.
Under the original archway at the foot of the mountain villa, there is now a snow-white three-story building, which is General Lu’s official residence.
Half of the staff of the headquarters office also work here, and the other half are located in the headquarters office in Heishan City.
Zhao Jingxun, chairman of the headquarters office, was formerly the chairman of the Black Mountain Brigade Inspectorate Office and is now in a high position.
From the outside, as General Lu's chief secretary, he was just a random person selected by General Lu from the Black Mountain Brigade, and was obviously a transitional role. However, he has never been replaced, and he is still with General Lu even now after being promoted to the chief of the headquarters office. Naturally, he has his own strengths.
In fact, few people know that he came from the United Matrix.
As for the people that General Lu is meeting today, Zhao Jingxun is not qualified to be present.
In Suite No. 1 on the third floor, which is known as the General's White Building by the outside world, in Lu Ming's spacious and luxurious office, standing solemnly in front of Lu Ming's desk is Lu Gaoyi, the chief of the Intelligence Department.
Although the Intelligence Department is still an Intelligence Department, it has been upgraded to a deputy division-level unit. Lu Gaoyi has a gold star on his shoulder strap and is promoted to the rank of brigadier general.
Looking at the materials in his hand, Lu Ming nodded, "Is this Liu Datong's personal paper not difficult for you?"
Lu Gaoyi stood at attention and said, "Master, I will always keep your instructions in mind!"
Lu Ming smiled. He did remember his own words well. Before, when no one else said this, he would say, "Dad's teachings, I will always remember them in my heart!"
I told him not to address me like that when I was in military uniform, and he changed his behavior immediately.
"Well, deploy and catch the man." Lu Ming waved his hand.
