The Liang Chongming case involved too many issues to be resolved, and almost all of the new Independent Commission Against Corruption was focused on this case.
Because of the riots, the entire Daliang city was taken over by the 2nd Mixed Brigade and military control was implemented.
The Montenegro Corps, in addition to the Montenegro Armored Brigade, which is specially supported by the finances and subsidized by Lu Ming himself, also has Mixed 1st Brigade and Mixed 2nd Brigade, which are elite ace troops and the two main brigades that participated in the Zhenjiang Campaign. Now Mixed 1st Brigade has returned to Montenegro, and Mixed 2nd Brigade has remained in Zhenjiang.
Among the five brigades reorganized in Zhenjiang, there are two security brigades, which are local garrison forces.
There are also three field brigades, the 101st, 102nd and 103rd.
However, these five brigades were still in the process of institutional and military ideological transformation. Therefore, Lu Ming sent out the ace brigade based in Zhenjiang, the 2nd Mixed Brigade, to implement military control over Daliang.
After being taken over by the field army, the entire Daliang city was in a state of panic.
While paying attention to this case, Lu Ming went to Antigua, stayed there for just two days, and then flew back.
…
The former residence of the Governor of Zhenjiang is now the residence of the Prime Minister.
It is a building similar to the style of No. 10 Downing Street, a small palace-like building surrounded by green trees.
The official residence contains functional venues such as the cabinet meeting room and the provincial government banquet hall.
However, the cabinet members usually work in the administrative building of the provincial government, and only come to the prime minister's residence for cabinet ministerial meetings.
In the Prime Minister's official residence, only Lu Ming's staff, including secretaries, assistants, consultants, etc., work inside.
In addition, there are servants and guards.
Even the Prime Minister's wife and the real princess live in their own estates instead of the official residence. Currently it is Qinchun Garden, and they will move into Langyuan Palace which is under construction later.
The study room on the second floor of the front building of the official residence is over 100 square meters in size, with a milky white tone, giving it a very neat and modern feel.
Lu Ming sat behind the desk, looking through the materials on Liang Chongming's case.
There are too many aspects involved. Not to mention anything else, all public officials in Daliang who have a little power are more or less involved. There are almost no wealthy businessmen in Daliang who do not have interests transferred to them by the Liang family. Those who want to get rid of the Liang family's control will not be able to gain a foothold in Daliang. Those who stay can only become a community of interests with the Liang family.
It can be said that Daliang City is an ironclad entity controlled by the bureaucratic capitalist group headed by the Liang family.
Everyone in the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which is investigating the case, is in a panic and doesn't know how to deal with it.
If we really investigate thoroughly as Marshal Lu said, I'm afraid nearly 10,000 people will be convicted, and all of them are people who control all aspects of Daliang City's resources.
The entire population of Daliang is only over 800,000, or 1% of the people. All of them will be convicted in this case, and they are all leaders in their respective industries, including officials.
There is no doubt that if we regard Daliang City as a country, that is to say, in order to get back to the root of the problem, we must kill all the 1% of people at the top of the pyramid. Without a doubt, the entire Daliang City will be paralyzed.
In a region with a population of more than 800,000, all industries are completely out of control. The result is predictable.
It would be a serious humanitarian disaster.
Lu Ming scratched his head, wanting to find an example, but unexpectedly, he hit a wall. He didn't know how many people were waiting to watch him get into trouble.
There are undercurrents in Zhenjiang Province, and there are countless people eyeing his position.
There was a gentle knock on the office door, and a dignified old man in his fifties came in. He was also an old acquaintance of Lu Ming, Zhang Xianhe, the former senior prosecutor of the Donghai Supreme Procuratorate.
When Lu Ming took the lead in organizing the White Rose case, Zhang Xianhe was the leader of the third team of the special case team led by Lu Ming, and the two cooperated very happily at that time.
Today, the old man was hired by Lu Mingli to serve as the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Zhenjiang Province, who is also the highest head of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
If it were someone else, no matter how generous the conditions were, if they asked him to leave the Donghai Procuratorate and come to the five provinces of Jiangnan, the old man would not agree even if he drank to death.
But when the old boss spoke, Zhang Xianhe felt extremely pleased. It really meant that his hard work in the judicial field was not in vain to be valued by this old boss. He could brag about it on his tombstone in the future.
So Zhang Xianhe immediately resigned and came to Zhenjiang.
At this time, he smiled at Lu Ming and said, "Boss, didn't I say that this eucalyptus wanted to invite foreign aid from the East China Sea? I have invited the person, would you like to meet him?"
The old man was reluctant to address his old boss as "Marshal", a pronoun for dictator, as he felt it was an insult to him. So whenever he saw his old boss again, he addressed him as "Boss".
Lu Ming smiled: "Okay!"
Zhang Xianhe excitedly opened the door and whispered something. Then, someone followed him in. Lu Ming looked up and was stunned.
The pretty girl in the dark blue uniform dress, isn't she Han Annie? She is still wearing the uniform of the Donghai prosecutor, but it is similar to the uniform of the Zhenjiang Independent Commission Against Corruption investigator. The beautiful girl with a great figure wears it, and the solemnity of the judicial profession makes her look even more beautiful and sexy.
"Prosecutor Han..." Lu Ming nodded to her and gestured, "Everyone sit down and chat."
"Have you read the file in general?" Lu Ming looked at Han Annie.
Han Annie nodded slightly and said, "It seems that this situation is very common in Northern Xinjiang."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Yes, so, I have made up my mind. If we destroy everything, won't we have to arrest nearly 10,000 people? Then we will arrest them! I will transfer the Air Service Regiment to help you arrest people! If the prison can't hold them, we will set up a concentration camp in Daliang!"
Zhang Xianhe and Han Annie were both stunned.
Zhang Xianhe wanted to say something, but Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "I have good relationships with many large companies. I will contact them immediately and send people to take over the companies that were confiscated in Daliang. They involve various industries, right? We will go through a simplified process with the provincial government and hand over these confiscated companies to them for management. Once things stabilize and the court makes a ruling, these companies will either be auctioned off or returned to the province. We'll see how the process goes at that time. In short, maintaining stability is the basic priority for now."
Zhang Xianhe was stunned and said, "Boss, that may require thousands of corporate managers from all walks of life. In addition, we have to prevent the lower-level employees from being deceived and causing trouble."
Lu Ming nodded: "I understand."
Zhang Xianhe smiled bitterly. What his old boss meant was that there would be no problem in transferring so many managers from various industries.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I have done land reform in the Northern Territory, but this is the first time that the bureaucratic capitalist group entrenched in the entire region has been uprooted and reformed directly. But it doesn't matter." He glanced at the two of them and said, "You must disagree in your hearts. The former Lu Qianxing has begun to use power as a weapon, right?"
Zhang Xianhe sighed softly: "Not really. It wasn't until I arrived in the Northern Territory that I realized that sometimes, to destroy an old world, one can only rely on force."
Lu Ming smiled and pondered, "Oh, right? If this case eventually leads to the destruction of the entire bureaucratic capitalist group, it may involve hundreds of companies in Daliang City, including real estate, land, etc., plus the corruption and accumulation of officials at all levels, it may involve tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of assets."
Zhang Xianhe nodded. Indeed, this was the wealth accumulated by the top class of the Daliang pyramid through illegal and irregular operations over hundreds of years. It could be said to be the sum of the social wealth of the Daliang area, which was completely comparable to any super company.
The so-called priceless is a description of the highest level of wealth. No matter how rich an individual is, the total wealth of a region cannot be matched by you.
Although Daliang was closed and poor, the total wealth accumulated by its upper class was still an unimaginable astronomical figure.
There are nearly 10,000 people in the upper class involved, and each of them has an average asset of 100,000, which is 10 billion.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I discovered that according to an ancient law, the Royal Obligations and Powers Act, if a duke is stationed in an area where there is official corruption, if the duke discovers it, all the confiscated property will belong to the duke. The case of Liang Chongming was indeed a clue discovered by my wife, Princess Alice."
Zhang Xianhe was stunned.
Lu Ming added: "The law has not been repealed yet. Of course, I will unconditionally donate the company assets and other assets that the court has confiscated and fined to the national treasury to the provincial treasury. However, I will apply to keep the bank deposits, gold bars, etc. of these people and set up a Zhenjiang Development Fund. I will find someone to manage it and invest in Zhenjiang, mainly Daliang, to build its infrastructure."
Lu Ming felt that if he had direct power to use the money, it would be more effective.
Moreover, these secret treasures in deposits and lockers are originally hidden in banks and do not participate in the economic circulation field. Therefore, if they are directly redistributed by themselves, it will not only not affect the normal economic order of Daliang, but will enter the circulation field and promote the economic vitality of the Daliang area.
Zhang Xianhe didn't know what to say. He just felt that this was the way things were done in the Northern Territory. Just like in the dynasty era, the confiscated property belonged to the lords (warlords) privately.
Although the old boss did not take away everything, I think the total deposits and property of those people in the bank would be over 100 million.
Lu Ming walked to the window, looked at the street scene outside, and said, "This is just a preliminary idea. We'll see what to do in the end. Let's get this case done first."
Zhang Xianhe and Han Annie looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
