Chapter 54 Chapter Fifty-Four

All the truth will eventually come to light.With the further deepening of the case and the arrest of Zhang Shuli, the former Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of Jingzhou, the shadow of Guangming Lake is fully revealed.The disciplinary inspection after Ding Yizhen fled was absurd, which surprised everyone: two relatives of Zhang Shuli took two large-scale supporting projects of Guangming Lake from Ding Yizhen through fake bidding.So only come up with Cai Chenggong.And it was entrusted by Zhao Ruilong.Zhao Ruilong deliberately directed Li Dakang's attention to Dafengchang to help Gao Xiaoqin.For this reason, Zhao Ruilong gave Zhang Jianli a gadget—a Swiss Blancpain watch worth millions.During the investigation period, Zhang Shuli received a total of more than 6.7 million yuan in cash and various gifts.

Sha Ruijin was furious and slapped the table at an internal meeting of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Procuratorate. —Shocking, comrades!At a time when the anti-corruption campaign is overwhelmed and thunderous, corrupt elements and corrupt practices have not disappeared.A secretary of the Disciplinary Committee dared to take the opportunity of investigating the case to accept bribes from law-breaking and discipline-breaking cadres and economic criminals!Preliminary investigation revealed that three cadres and five bosses involved in five projects!It seems that "the previous rot and the successor" is not a joke, but a serious reality...

Hou Liangping and Ji Changming, as well as the secretaries of the Disciplinary Committee, chief prosecutors, and directors of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of each city in H province attended the meeting.The meeting was held at the Prosecutor Training Center of H Province. This training center is more than ten kilometers away from downtown Jingzhou. It is located in an ecological park, which is quite secluded and difficult for ordinary people to find. Sha Ruijin was heartbroken - not only a Jingzhou, a Guangming Lake, the situation of anti-corruption and honesty in our province is also very severe.In the past three years, in six of the twelve prefecture-level cities, the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor have had problems, and they have been shuanggui or entered judicial proceedings.Comrades, half the country has fallen!There are currently 153 vacancies for the province's provincial management cadres.In the list left by Zhao Lichun, one-third of the people were filed, and fifty-eight people were involved in buying and selling officials...

Sitting in the first row of the conference room, Hou Liangping could clearly see the exhausted secretary of the provincial party committee.In just half a year, Sha Ruijin has aged a lot.His hair has turned white, his temples are also grizzled, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes have become noticeably darker.Hou Liangping remembers that Sha Ruijin was not like this when he was talking in office. His hair and sideburns were all black, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were not so obvious.Of course, there may be other reasons for this. Sha Rui King Kong dyed his hair when he took office, maybe he is too busy now and has no time to dye his hair.But the secretary of the provincial party committee couldn't hide his demeanor, and Hou Liangping could feel his exhaustion.Anti-corruption has a long way to go, and it is far from the time to celebrate the victory; the economic growth rate of Province H has declined for the first time in 28 years, and the main slowdown was reflected in the fourth quarter after Sha Ruijin took office, which caused a lot of discussion at home and abroad.It's difficult for the secretary of the provincial party committee. He leads a large province of 60 million people, which is equivalent to a large country in Europe. If he is not tired but lives relaxed and happy, it is strange.

Why isn't Hou Liangping tired?The story between him and Province H began with Zhao Dehan, a corrupt petty official.The Zhao Dehan case is still in the process of being fermented, and now it has involved more than 130 bribe-giving and accepting bribes in 18 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions.He is the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate of H Province. There are a lot of cases in H Province. The Beijing Anti-Corruption Bureau and the procuratorates of brother provinces and cities often ask him to verify the relevant clues.That Zhao Dehan is also funny, he can sublimate greed into idyllic poetry, and can turn searches into opportunities, insisting on Hou Liangping to prove his criminal performance, saying that he voluntarily handed in the ledger...

At this time, Sha Ruijin, who was speaking, turned around unexpectedly, with deep sadness and pain on his face—comrades, speaking of this, I think of an old comrade, an ordinary and ordinary Communist.Just yesterday, this old comrade passed away. Many comrades here may know him. He is Comrade Chen Shiyan, a retired cadre in our province and former executive deputy chief prosecutor of the Provincial Procuratorate! Hou Liangping was stunned for a moment, what?Chen Shiyan passed away?When did this happen?How come he doesn't know about such a big thing?Isn't the old man living in the hospital all the time?He went to the hospital to see the old man a few days ago. The old man said he was fine and drove him away so that he could go back and handle the case with peace of mind. Why did he go there all of a sudden?When was the farewell ceremony?And Ji Changming, Ji Changming is the Chief Prosecutor, doesn't he know that?The farewell ceremony for the body has to be arranged by the procuratorate, maybe it hasn't been done yet?He cast his eyes on Lao Ji beside him, only to find that Lao Ji also looked shocked and bewildered.

It was Sha Ruijin who solved the doubts for Hou Liangping and Ji Changming—— The old man's heart has always been bad. When he talked with the Central Inspection Team last month, he had an accident because of his emotions, and his life was in danger that day.It was the doctor who rescued the old man in time to save the old man.Myocardial infarction had a second attack yesterday afternoon, and the doctors were powerless to recover.Chen Shiyan had a signed will with his old comrades before his death: donate the body after death, and don't trouble future generations.So after Chen Shiyan died, the medical school took his body away.The old man was not greedy for any ill-gotten gains while he was alive, and he even sold his only house and donated millions of house money to charity funds.He left without notifying anyone, didn't bother anyone, and didn't take up an inch of land in the world...

Hou Liangping's eyes were filled with tears, and his vision became blurred.I get it, I get it all. In a sense, the old man is also on the anti-corruption front.The central inspection team came, and the old man went to talk again and again.Talk and talk, the blood broke through the aging heart that had suffered so much on the journey of fighting for the truth, and made him slump down—it wasn't until a few days ago that Hou Liangping learned from Zhong Xiaoai that the truth is true. The big tigers Zhao Lichun and Chen Yanyan persistently reported in various forms for twelve years.In this life-and-death struggle of the party and the country, the old man, at an advanced age, carried the explosives without hesitation...

The venue was solemn and solemn, and Sha Ruijin's deep voice resounded in the cold and humid air—— …A week ago, I visited Chen Shiyan for the last time.I didn't know at the time that this was the last time, but the old man seemed to have a premonition.The old man was excited again, held my hand and said, after so many years, our party has finally woken up, and now there is still time to clean up the morals of the world... The face of Sha Ruijin, who was close in front of him, became strange and dazed, and tears slowly rolled down Hou Liangping's cheeks.But Sha Ruijin's affectionate voice reached his ears more and more clearly.

... After the meeting, Hou Liangping and Ji Changming returned to the city in the same car.The heaviness from the meeting was brought to the car, and the two were speechless for a moment.When the car leaves the ecological park, patches of artificially cared for green vegetation gradually disappear.In front of the car, the boundless fields turned gray and brown.The strong northwest wind blows up the fallen leaves and weeds on the side of the road, swirling east and west, forming a desolate winter landscape in front of the car. Hou Liangping opened his mouth first: We can't let Mr. Chen just go away, why don't we hold a memorial service?

Ji Changming nodded: open as soon as possible!Also convey the high praise of Secretary Sha. The sky ahead was obscure, with large dark clouds moving slowly, and weak white light sprinkled through the gaps. After a moment of silence, Ji Changming sighed and blamed himself: "Liangping, actually I regret it when I think about it now. It's not that I don't know something about Zhao Lichun, but I don't have the energy of Mr. Chen!"If everyone could be Chen Shiyan, how could the situation and political ecology of our province be so unbearable! Hou Liangping looked at the killing scene outside the window, and said in a low voice: Yes, yes, but the old man is right. Fortunately, our party has woken up, and now there is still time to clean up the morals of the world... Outside the car window, the harsh winter makes the vast land fade away its colorful colors, revealing its plain nature, just like a mother after removing makeup.The north wind is bitter, wrapping the remnants of grass and fallen leaves in the field, hitting the road from time to time.However, in the cold barrenness, isn't there also the hope of spring?
