Chapter 42 Section 42

"Corruption is not a legal concept, but a political term. The more common definition is proposed by the International Monetary Fund, that is, corruption is the abuse of public power for private gain." Huang Guoxiu, the bankrupt husband on the sofa, said, “Corruption generally includes three elements: first, the subjects of corruption can only be those who enjoy and use public power; second, these people abuse public power; third, they are for personal gain It can be seen that the essence of corruption is the alienation and abuse of public power, and its basic manifestations are corruption, bribery, infringement and dereliction of duty, and this feature is very prominent in the "August 13" case."

Huang Guoxiu applauded exaggeratedly with admiration: "Okay, okay, Ye Jian, well said, please continue!" Ye Zijing continued: "From the blacklist provided by Su Afu, it can be seen that these leading cadres who enjoy and use public power have alienated and abused the power to serve the public and the people into a process for personal gain. And as a result, it was possible for Su Afu to get his rich man to where he is today; thus, the "August 13" catastrophic fire would occur. The most prominent example is Zhou Xiuli. If Zhou Xiuli did not blackmail Su Afu for 300,000 Bribes, not abusing the public power at hand, not approving Suafu to build a front house, the casualties would not have been so serious."

Huang Guoxiu made a gesture: "Stop! Ye Jian, please ask: How do you explain Chen Xiaomu? Chen Xiaomu is not the owner and user of public power. Why does Su Afu give him money?" Ye Zijing waved her hand: "It's very simple. This is a deferred phenomenon of power. Chen Xiaomu has no public power, but Chen Hanjie has public power, and it's a lot of public power. Isn't that very clear?" Huang Guoxiu reminded: "Comrade Chen Hanjie has never done anything for Su Afu!" Ye Zijing nodded: "Yes! However, it turns out that the then deputy mayor, Li Dawei, did things for Su Afu! I don't think Li Dawei is only interested in Su Afu's 30,000 yuan. There is a factor of deferred power in it. That is to say, the power in Chen Hanjie's hands passed through Chen Xiaomu and Li Dawei, and he completed the exchange of interests with Su Afu. Comrade Chen Hanjie didn't know the process of this exchange, but it doesn't mean that this kind of exchange does not exist or is not established..."

At this point, the phone next to the sofa rang, Ye Zijing was startled for a moment, and motioned for Huang Guoxiu to answer the phone. Huang Guoxiu didn't want to answer: "Ye Jian, I must be looking for you to inquire about the news, you should answer it!" Ye Zijing waved her hands straight: "Don't, don't, Secretary Huang, maybe the bankrupt worker asked you to solve the problem!" Huang Guoxiu thought about it too, picked up the phone, and said "Hello" in a rough voice. Immediately, a computer-synthesized recording was uploaded on the phone: "Ye Zijing, I would like to give you some advice: don't do things so desperately, leave a way out for others, and leave a way out for yourself! Someone has told your fortune, You and your family are about to face a bloody disaster, please take care of yourself, and don’t disappoint our kind reminder!"

Putting down the phone, Huang Guoxiu smiled calmly: "Look, Zijing, I said I'm looking for you!" Ye Zijing was a little puzzled: "Looking for me? What's the matter?" Huang Guoxiu didn't want to say it at first, but after thinking about it, he said it anyway, with a very flat tone: "A recorded threatening phone call, asking you to leave a way out for others, so as not to cause any bloody disaster! I guess it was done by someone on the blacklist !" Ye Zijing thought for a while: "Not necessarily, it may be someone from the unit suspected of malfeasance. Before the blacklist appeared, I had already received this kind of call, twice, once in the office and once on the way home! "

Huang Guoxiu reminded: "Then don't be too careless, the case has reached this stage, you must be vigilant against mad dogs biting people!" Ye Zijing didn't take it seriously, and smiled indifferently: "Su Afu is a gun and explosives. I have never been afraid of them. Are you afraid of their threatening phone calls?!" Then he talked about the topic, "Old Huang, the problem of corruption is indeed serious. Seriously, but this is by no means the inevitable result of reform and opening up. Twenty-two years of reform and opening up have made great achievements. It can be said that a great national rejuvenation has been completed, which is unprecedented! Of course, there are also many problems. The transition from the planned economy to the market economy, the overall adjustment of the industrial structure, tens of millions of workers laid off and unemployed, the contradictions are relatively prominent, and many corruptions are easy to breed in this specific period. It should be said that it is a relatively complicated historical phenomenon, right? "

Huang Guoxiu thought: "Zijing, you are right, but you have to remember that what we ordinary people see is the reality that corruption is relatively serious, and the polarization between the rich and the poor also exists objectively. For example, our tens of thousands of bankrupt Unemployed workers have not been included in the subsistence allowance so far, can I, the secretary in charge of bankruptcy, feel at ease?!" Get excited, and walk anxiously in front of Ye Zijing, "In this case, Su Afu is on the blacklist These forty-eight guys, as many as hundreds of thousands, as few as tens of thousands, are still accepting bribes wantonly, increasing the cost of social reform, and trapping our party and government in injustice, they are so fucking heartless!"

This time, Ye Zijing clapped her hands: "Okay, okay, Secretary Huang, it's rare that you still have this passion!" Huang Guoxiu smiled wryly: "It's not passion, it's conscience, the conscience of being a human being!" Startled for a moment, she held Ye Zijing's shoulders, "Zijing, I can't forgive any of these corrupt elements, I really can't forgive them!" Ye Zijing smiled and said: "Secretary Huang, you don't have to worry about it. Whoever wants to forgive will not be forgiven. The law will not let them go! I can tell you that this time, I am going to appear in court as the first public prosecutor to support the prosecution!"

Just at this point, the phone rang again. Ye Zijing thought it was another threatening call, without thinking, she reached out and picked up the receiver. Unexpectedly, the call was for Huang Guoxiu, so Ye Zijing handed the phone to Huang Guoxiu. Huang Guoxiu took the receiver and heard that the caller was actually Li Dachuan, the boss of Ark Decoration Company. Li Dachuan said hurriedly on the phone: "Secretary Huang, I would like to report to you: as far as I know, thousands of unemployed workers from the South No. 2 Mine will go to the provincial capital for group visits tomorrow. It’s on the list! Zhou Peicheng was imprisoned by the Public Security Bureau for a while, but he gained courage, saying that he has nothing to do anyway, and he will become a professional petitioner!"

Huang Guoxiu was taken aback: "Da Chuan, is the news reliable? Two thousand people are going to the provincial capital, where are there so many cars?" Li Dachuan said: "Secretary Huang, the news is absolutely reliable! They said that they will not find a car this time, and they will all go by train, which is the Pukuai train that goes to the provincial capital in Changshan, 1125 times. Hundreds of tickets!" Huang Guoxiu lost her voice: "Oh my god, so to speak, tomorrow... Tomorrow's train No. 1125 will become a special train for petitioners? Dachuan, do you know the specific situation? Comrades... why is it this time? Ah ?”

Li Dachuan said: "It seems to be about the minimum social security, right? Didn't our South No. 2 Mine try to go bankrupt last year? Aren't they and their families not included in the minimum social security coverage? It's been a year, and there are many opinions Ah! Last time several mines lay on the rails, many people from the South No. 2 Mine participated. This time, it is said that they have accepted the lesson from last time, and they must make a legal disturbance! Secretary Huang, this is not the No. 2 South Mine, social security The problem also involves several mines that went bankrupt this year, which is not a small trouble, besides, the government should also solve this matter, the country has regulations!" Huang Guoxiu said: "Okay, I see!" Putting down the phone, he immediately dialed the numbers of Tang Zhaoyang, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Lin Yongqiang, Mayor.Tang Zhaoyang's phone was not in the service area, and Lin Yongqiang's phone was dialed.Huang Guoxiu reported the situation to Lin Yongqiang on the phone, and suggested that Lin Yongqiang contact the Railway Bureau immediately to stop the 1125th train for the day. After Lin Yongqiang heard this, he was very annoyed, and he taught angrily: "Old Huang, what's the matter with your mining group? How do you do your work? Is it over? You even set up a special train for petitioning! Don't look for me, look for The Public Security Bureau, find Jiang Zhengliu and Wu Chengyi, and tell them that I told them to arrest people, and first arrest that Zhou Peicheng!" Huang Guoxiu held back his breath and said: "Mayor Lin, I'm afraid this is inappropriate? Why should we arrest people? Zhou Peicheng and the workers of the No. 2 South Mine have the right to report their difficulties to the superior leadership. They did not break the law this time! Besides, The central government and the State Council have regulations on the subsistence allowances for needy workers, even if the workers don’t make trouble, they have to solve it..." Lin Yongqiang didn't wait for Huang Guoxiu to finish speaking, and shouted: "Old Huang, don't tell me this! Solve it? How to solve it? The province doesn't give money, so what should we do in Changshan? Let me reiterate: Changshan Mine The financial group is a provincial enterprise, and has never paid a penny to the Changshan local finance, and Changshan cannot afford this burden, and we cannot bear it!" This is also true, Huang Guoxiu couldn't continue, and sighed: "But something has to be dealt with!" Lin Yongqiang was unreasonable, and said in a suppressed tone: "Of course we have to deal with it, you deal with it! I don't care about the means, as long as the result! Tomorrow there will be group visits in front of the provincial party committee and the provincial government. The provincial party committee will definitely find me and Tang. The secretary settles accounts; therefore, I also put my words here: as long as the unemployed workers run into Changshan Railway Station tomorrow, I will settle accounts with you, Huang Guoxiu! If you don’t want to arrest people, then you can go down to work for me now! Go bow and kowtow to the workers, and beg them to do well and stop making trouble! Don’t push yourself up and down like this, and stay in Changshan City as an official and a lord!" Huang Guoxiu couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "Mayor Xiaolin, I am no longer an official, and the master will stop, is that okay? I beg you to do me a favor first, and immediately suggest to the Provincial Party Committee that the Party Committee of my Mining Group The deputy secretary was exonerated!" There was no sound on the phone, and after a long silence, Lin Yongqiang said again, with a much more relaxed tone: "I said Lao Huang, what's the matter with you? Ah? Are you really going to send me and Secretary Tang Chaoyang's army? Please Forgive me, the incident happened suddenly today, and I'm not in a good mood, maybe I said something too much, so don't take it to heart!" Huang Guoxiu was still angry: "Mayor Lin, I don't need to take it personally, but we must have people in our hearts! The subsistence allowances for the poor groups in bankrupt coal mines must be solved, and if it continues, it may really drag out big problems! " Lin Yongqiang started haha: "That's right, that's right, Secretary Tang and I are worried about this too! So, Lao Huang, you and your mining group have to further strengthen the reporting to the province, so that the provincial government can deal with it as soon as possible. Pay for the arrangements! Well, let’s put it this way first, I have a meeting soon, you go down quickly, go down now, let’s do the work of the workers first, huh?! Tomorrow, the special train for petitioning will enter the provincial capital, We're in big trouble!" Huang Guoxiu reluctantly complied, put down the phone, and after putting down the phone, his expression was extremely ugly. Ye Zijing understood the matter from the side, and interrupted to remind: "Old Huang, the workers of the No. 2 South Mine not only have the right to report their difficulties to the provincial party committee and the provincial government, but also have the right to pay for a ticket and take the bus by ticket. It is illegal for Lin Yongqiang to use the Public Security Bureau to arrest people, and there is no legal basis for you to ask the Railway Bureau to stop tomorrow's 1125 train!" Huang Guoxiu let out a long sigh, and admitted: "So, it's not easy to really act according to the law!" Ye Zijing pushed Huang Guoxiu: "What are you still doing, there is always work to be done, let's go!" Huang Guoxiu was surprised: "Let's go? Are you going to the mine overnight with me? Are you not afraid that comrades from the procuratorate will find you?" Ye Zijing waved her hand: "I don't need to worry about the case so far. Let Wu Zhongqiu and Gao Wenhui do their jobs. I'll just wait for their court session!" Jokingly said, "Secretary Huang, there is an advantage for me to go with you, it looks more like a visit to the poor!" Huang Guoxiu was not in the mood for joking, and said seriously: "Zijing, you might as well go there for a while, I think it will give you a better understanding of the social background of this case, and you will have more confidence when you go to court for prosecution in the future!"
