Shouldn’t Liu Tianlai be in Shunyi? Why is he here
Wen Liang paused for a moment and greeted him with a smile: "Uncle Liu, did Zhihe make a mistake and ask his parents to come and criticize him?"
Liu Tianlai's brows were furrowed, and he was full of thoughts. He didn't even notice Wen Liang approaching. He looked up and was overjoyed. He hurriedly took two steps to the front. Hearing his teasing tone, his brows relaxed a little and said with a smile, "Don't mention that bastard. He has had to call his parents three times a month since he was a child. I was really scared of being scolded by the teacher. Since the second year of junior high school, his mother has been doing this kind of work. I, Old Liu, will not welcome visitors."
Wen Liang laughed and pointed at him, saying, "Uncle Liu, that's called avoiding the person. You need to correct your habit of misusing idioms!"
The two of them randomly found a small restaurant outside the school. There were not many customers at this time, so they could talk without worry. Liu Tianlai briefly talked about the current situation in Shunyi County and said, "There is a lot of resistance from below. Not to mention the Grain Bureau, even the Shunyi County Party Committee and County Government have some resistance..."
There was certainly a lot of resistance. The incident was reported in the provincial newspaper, and provincial leaders expressed their concern. The city quickly set up a special investigation team, and no one knew how far they would stop. The top two leaders of Shunyi County, Party Secretary He Kuan and County Chief Hou Weimin, were not very clean people. As one of the largest grain-producing counties in Jiangdong Province, if you say they knew nothing about the tricks in the grain system, or had nothing to do with it, even a three-year-old child would not believe it.
Even if Xu Fuyan wanted to protect him, he would not say so. It was expected that He and Hou would have resistance due to their anxiety and fear of loss.
"This case was not too difficult. Even though the people in the Grain Bureau formed an offensive and defensive alliance, unified their statements, and destroyed some evidence, as long as we spend some time to carefully investigate and find a breakthrough, we can defeat them one by one. But the problem now is that this is not just a small case. Maybe there is some inside story involved. Some people are making trouble, some are adding fuel to the fire, and some are fanning the flames. Secretary Xu wants to reveal some and cover up some, both to shut up the mouths of those above and to extinguish the fire of some people with ulterior motives. It is too difficult to grasp this balance. If the Shunyi government does not cooperate, it will be difficult to carry out the work quickly..."
Wen Liang nodded, indicating that he understood. In fact, if you think about it, it's no wonder that Liu Tianlai is in trouble. If you don't dig too deep into such a case, you will be digging your own grave. In addition, the local government pretends to obey but secretly disobeys, which is really a difficult problem!
"The task force is headed by Zhao Xinchuan. What did he say?"
It would be fine if Zhao Xinchuan was not mentioned, but Liu Tianlai was furious when he was mentioned, and sarcastically said, "Zhao Xinchuan is determined to make a name for himself in this case so as to change Secretary Xu's impression of him. But in the current situation, Guo Changsheng does not trust us, and the local government is pulling our feet behind us. We are at a loss. Zhao Xinchuan dare not express his difficulties to Secretary Xu or make requests. He only knows how to scold people in meetings and ask us to solve the case as soon as possible. But if the city does not step in and put pressure on us, what can we do?"
This was the main reason Liu Tianlai came to find Wen Liang today. Zhao Xinchuan didn't want to ask the city for help, lest he be criticized as incompetent. Liu Tianlai didn't want to either, but he was better than Zhao Xinchuan in that he had Wen Liang as a way to communicate with the big shots in the city, and with their relationship, it was no big deal to ask for help!
Wen Liang's index finger tapped the table unconsciously a few times, and suddenly said, "This is not right!"
He Kuan and Hou Weimin have governed Shunyi for many years, and have managed this grain-producing county with a population of nearly 700,000 like an iron barrel. The two have been in the political arena for a long time, and their methods are experienced and cunning. How could they not know Xu Fuyan's intention to sacrifice pawns to save the king? Things have come to this point. It is wishful thinking to want to spare no money and leave no one hurt. It is better to actively cooperate with the city's work, settle the case as quickly as possible, and hand over a few people to take the blame. It will benefit you, me and everyone. Why not
This is the wisest choice!
But according to the current situation, Lord He has obviously made another choice! A choice that is totally incompatible with the identity of an official!
Could it be that the two men are so loyal and righteous that they are willing to risk their lives, property, and official positions to ensure the safety of their subordinate
Wen Liang absolutely does not believe that this kind of thing only happens in fairy tales!
When he mentioned this idea, Liu Tianlai pondered and said, "We have to be on guard... However, as the top leader of Shunyi, if He Kuan doesn't show any intention to protect his subordinates when they get into trouble, he will lose the support of the people immediately. He first showed some resistance, and then went with the flow, pretending that he was powerless under the pressure of the city, and no one could say a word against him."
Wen Liang stood up and hurriedly walked back and forth in the small restaurant. What Liu Tian said was possible, but in the current situation, it was unlikely. An article titled "The Tragedy of Grain" had a ripple effect, and the province was aggressive. Xu Fuyan was furious. Playing the game of balancing power also depends on the timing. Doing this at this time would undoubtedly be a slap in Xu Fuyan's face.
Compared to the reputation of the Qingzhou boss, the people's hearts mean nothing!
"Let's go and see Director Zuo first. I'm afraid the level of the task force is too low..."
Wen Liang thought of the endless number of major cases in the grain system since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and his steps were already trembling slightly. Not to mention the 1970s and 1980s, there were many grain cases in the early 1990s, especially in Changtu County, Liaobei Province, where the amount involved was as high as more than 68 million yuan, 412 people were involved, and 24 of them were at the deputy county level or above. What a terrible scene! After 2000, major cases occurred more frequently, including the Hongjiang Grain Case, the Dangtu Grain Case, the Fujin Grain Case, and the Huize Grain Case. The amounts involved ranged from tens of millions to hundreds of millions, and all of them were widely involved and shocking.
After the wave of reform and opening up swept across the country, all walks of life showed a blowout trend, with gold and money everywhere. The once glorious grain system has become a declining aristocracy. In the perception of ordinary people, this is a cold and cold government office that cannot be colder, and it seems that there is nothing to make money from. It is precisely this perception that has created an industry system that makes a lot of money in silence, and has neglected supervision to become a disaster area with frequent corruption.
Wen Liang was worried that if the case in Shunyi was far beyond the initial estimate, as long as the amount exceeded 10 million, Xu Fuyan would not be able to suppress it. In the face of such a large amount of money, He Kuan and Hou Weimin were both involved, and if they didn't die, they would lose their official positions and spend the rest of their lives in prison.
Wen Liang sighed, walked out of the restaurant first, and looked back at the gate of No. 1 Middle School. It was only when he saw Liu Tianlai that he remembered that he didn't know where Ye Yuting lived, and there were priorities, so he decided to put it aside for now.
The black Santana sped away, with a self-deprecating smile on the boy's face. The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Isn't life all about moving forward with your head held high amidst tests again and again? Whoever laughs to the end can laugh the loudest
After Zuo Yuxi's mediation, although Xu Fuyan blamed Wen Liang for being nosy, he was cautious and finally agreed to let the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Niu Guiqing go to Shunyi to guide the investigation of the case. Wen Liang breathed a sigh of relief. With Niu Guiqing as a great god, he could calm down any situation.
It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon when Niu Guiqing came out of the Municipal Party Committee. He had to arrange the work at hand, so Liu Tianlai rushed back to Shunyi to convey the latest spirit of the Municipal Party Committee. As for whether his action of skipping the level and reporting directly to the Municipal Party Committee would be harassed by Zhao Xinchuan, the head of the special case team, it was not within the scope of consideration of Wen Liang and others.
While Wen Liang realized that something was wrong and tried his best to remedy the situation, a turbulent situation was secretly brewing in Shunyi County. Some people were mourning, some were watching coldly, some were gloating over others' misfortune, and some were trying to fish in troubled waters. However, everyone involved knew that a storm was about to come.
The network of relationships that He Kuan and Hou Weimin had cultivated for many years played a role. They got the news that Niu Guiqing was coming to Shunyi almost immediately, and knew that the municipal party committee had made the most direct response to the county's confrontation. They also had their own difficulties. Having been in the officialdom for many years, they understood Xu Fuyan's meaning, but they both knew that the materials in Guo Changsheng's hands were definitely more than what he had revealed when he stopped the car and complained last time. When the lid was lifted, Xu Fuyan would immediately change his mind, and no one could save them. Not to mention that their future in the officialdom was over, it was still uncertain whether they could save their lives.
The sudden appearance of Niu Guiqing further proves that the city’s attitude has changed. In this case, we might as well give it a try. There might be a glimmer of hope!
In a secluded villa in the suburbs of Shunyi County, He Kuan and Hou Weimin sat on the sofa in the magnificent hall. They looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes!
Wen Liang guessed correctly. The amount of money involved in the Shunyi grain case and the depth of corruption were far beyond what people could imagine. The hundreds of thousands of dollars revealed by Guo Changsheng were just the tip of the iceberg!
Guo Changsheng's wife Wang Zhen works at the county cultural bureau. She has been in a trance since Guo Changsheng was taken away by the police. Although her husband has been arrested for a few days from time to time for not listening to advice and making a fuss in recent years, she didn't know why her heart was beating wildly this time, as if something big was going to happen. She was in a trance for the whole day, and made many mistakes in the report preparation at the unit. She was criticized by the director and her colleagues looked at her strangely. However, Wang Zhen couldn't care less. She finally got home from get off work. When she opened the door, she saw her thirteen-year-old daughter with her hands tied behind her back on the sofa, a rag stuffed in her mouth, and two men wearing sunglasses appeared from behind the door, with a shiny knife across her neck.
At the same time, Lin Zhen hung up the phone, a dark sneer appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "It's no big deal for me to intervene if it can make Liu Tianlai unhappy."
At twelve o'clock in the night, a scream was heard from the hotel where the task force was staying. When Liu Tianlai rushed out wearing his coat, he saw only the twisted body on the ground and the bloody red stains flowing from under the body.
