Chapter 23 The Dirty Deal of "Colored Books"

On August 28, 2008, Zhou Yongliang, former deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, was sentenced to 18 years in prison and confiscated 2.6 million yuan of property for multiple crimes.The point of this case is not that Zhou Yongliang took bribes of 2.13 million yuan and the source of the huge property of 6.57 million yuan is unknown. His skillful technique has amazed many corrupt officials who have both money and sex. In June 1991, 41-year-old Zhou Yongliang was appointed secretary of the Hunan Jianghua County Party Committee.Unexpectedly, shortly after taking office, several shocking "vulgar" incidents occurred.

Zhou Yongliang was born in 1950 in an ordinary family in Ningyuan County under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou City, Hunan Province. In 1990, he served as the deputy secretary of the Huajiang County Party Committee and was promoted within a year.When working as a deputy, Zhou Yongliang looked quite gentle.But after becoming the top leader, he was a different person overnight.No matter how big or small the conference is, he always says "dirty" when training people.The three words "damn", "fuck you" and "shitty" that are often on the lips make colleagues dumbfounded!

What made his subordinates really feel the vulgarity of Zhou Yongliang's character was the frightening night when the secretary of the county party committee led a team to Guangzhou for inspection.That night, Zhou Yongliang was caught by the local police station when he rented a hotel room to hire prostitutes.Zhou Yongliang, who was naked, was not only not afraid, but also arrogantly reprimanded the police for "meddling their own business".This move angered the police, who fined Zhou Yongliang 30,000 yuan for his prostitution.Zhou Yongliang instructed his subordinates to reimburse the fine with public funds.

After the Night of Horror in Guangzhou, Zhou Yongliang fixed his eyes on the territory he was in charge of.Once, when he went to Qiaoshi Township of the county to inspect the work, he found a charming young woman, and his heart was shaken immediately.Zhou Yongliang immediately instructed his subordinates to investigate the background of the young woman: her name was Xiaoyan, she was newly married, and her husband Wang Yang was a temporary worker hired by the township family planning office.That night Zhou Yongliang invited Xiaoyan and her husband to drink with him at the same time.After the wine was hot, an unexpected scene appeared.Zhou Yongliang sent hints to the beautiful young woman with body language, and at the same time praised her husband Wang Yang face to face: "In my opinion, you are young and promising, and you are a good seedling, which is worth cultivating."

Facing the political "evaluation" of the county party secretary, Wang Yang, flattered and comprehended, immediately pretended to be drunk and slipped away with an excuse.Before leaving the meeting, he whispered to his lovely wife: "Tonight, you should spend more time with Secretary Zhou." That night, the beautiful young woman served the secretary of the county party committee comfortably on the bed. Afterwards, Zhou Yongliang asked Xiaoyan what she wanted.Xiaoyan said: "My husband and I are both rough people from the countryside. I want to be a city person. As for Wang Yang, you put a green hat on him, so you can give him a black gauze hat." Zhou Yongliang insisted, Xiaoyan's household registration problem was quickly resolved, and she was arranged to work in a state-owned enterprise in the county, so that the two could meet frequently.For Wang Yang, who volunteered to dedicate himself to his beautiful wife, Zhou Yongliang first turned him into an official cadre, and then transferred him to Dengjiawan Township in the county as the secretary of the party committee half a year later.

Just when both parties were happy, Wang Yang, who was wearing a black hat, committed a crime very quickly. He raped a female family planning officer in his hometown and was arrested by the procuratorate.Her husband went from an official to a prisoner overnight, which made Xiaoyan feel ashamed.She quickly found her lover to "find someone", and Zhou Yongliang showed embarrassment: "Wang Yang's crime of rape is a criminal case, which is different from my being arrested for prostitution in Guangdong. It is very difficult to settle." At the end, Zhou Yongliang added One sentence: "Wang Yang was arrested, wouldn't it be more convenient for us to be together?"

Xiaoyan was angry: "Your heart is too poisonous. Before Wang Yang's accident, every time you came to me, he would make a bed for you. It is legal for your county party secretary to have sex with the wife of the township party secretary, but my husband's township party secretary The wives of subordinates are rapes, it’s true that officials and high officials crush people to death, is there any justice in the world?” The mistress's words of "justice" immediately stunned the secretary of the county party committee.Xiaoyan, who was eager to save her husband, lashed out for the first time and threatened that if Zhou Yongliang stood by, she would be killed.The mistress' "justice" and threats had their effect.With Zhou Yongliang's direct intervention, the rapist Wang Yang was released two days later.

After using his authority to "amnesty" the rapist, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhou Yongliang "cold" Xiaoyan and looked for new targets.Soon, A Ting, a female employee of a financial institution, came into his sight. Ating, 32 years old at the time, was a middle-level cadre of a commercial bank in the county.The first time they met, Zhou Yongliang fell under the pomegranate skirt of this bank beauty.He lightly waved the magic wand of power, and A Ting quickly threw himself into his arms.Her husband had no choice but to act like a turtle, drinking all day long to drown his sorrows.A Ting's plump and sexy body will not be paid for in vain. Her younger sister has just graduated from No. 1 Middle School in Jianghua County. Zhou Yongliang directly arranged for "little aunt" to work as a policeman in the County Public Security Bureau.In order to repay the secretary of the county party committee, Ah Ting simply invited Zhou Yongliang to her home for the night.Unexpectedly, it provoked a rather small disturbance.

It turned out that Jianghua County is not big, and Zhou Yongliang and A Ting often went out together, and the underground relationship was upgraded to an open secret.Many officials and colleagues turned a blind eye to the "boss" Zhou Yongliang's mistresses, but one old lady couldn't get used to it, and had a scolding with the county party secretary—she was Aunt Zhang, the doorman in the bank dormitory area where Ating lived. Every time Zhou Yongliang went to A Ting's house to have sex, it was mostly in the dead of night when the courtyard door was already locked.At first, Aunt Zhang didn't know Zhou Yongliang's identity, but later he came a lot, and when she learned that this flamboyant man turned out to be the secretary of the county party committee, Aunt Zhang with traditional concepts was shocked.From then on, she made things difficult on purpose, either asking Secretary Zhou to knock on the door for half an hour, or not allowing his car to park in the yard.Zhou Yongliang got annoyed, and scolded the old gatekeeper with foul words, "You old lady is out of her mind, you are a fool."Unexpectedly, the next morning, the old lady blocked the car of the secretary of the county party committee in the yard, and reprimanded Zhou Yongliang loudly in front of the family members of the bank: "You have a problem with the style of the secretary, you are a hooligan!"

Zhou Yongliang couldn't swallow this breath, and put pressure on the bank to fire the old lady.Just when Aunt Zhang was about to pack up and leave, Zhou Yongliang was promoted to a higher level. With his boasted "political achievements", he was promoted to the Standing Committee of the Yongzhou Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda in 1996. After Zhou Yongliang jumped into the ranks of deputy directors, his old love was hard to let go. He first transferred his mistress A Ting to a financial institution in Yongzhou City, and the two continued to stage romantic stories.At the same time, the desire to "try something new" surged in Zhou Chang's chest.Different from Lie Yan in the past, Zhou Yongliang now focuses on those young, beautiful and tasteful beauties.His strategy of picking up girls has also come to an innovation: quit the "vulgar" style, and put on the cloak of elegance.

Therefore, Zhou Yongliang instructed the gunman to frequently publish research and academic articles in the media under his name, and organized the establishment of the Yongzhou Liu Zongyuan Research Association. He also served as the chairman of the Hunan Shun Culture Research Association. Jiangyong Nüshu culture is the "mystery of the ages".Overnight, Zhou Yongliang's identity became a writer and scholar, and he seemed to be a top-notch "cultural man". While "painting" his own face, Zhou Yongliang went to the TV stations, hospitals, schools, etc. he was in charge of to hunt for beauty under the guise of inspection work.Once he finds the beauties he likes, he will let these tasteful beauties accompany him to drink and sing, and quickly develop into lovers.Li Lei, the female anchor of Yongzhou TV Station, is one of them. After the scheming Li Lei committed himself to Zhou Yongliang, he immediately used the minister's lover as a climbing ladder, and was soon transferred to a cultural propaganda department in Changsha, the provincial capital.Li Lei is not only still willing to warm the bed for Minister Zhou in the provincial capital, but also helps him build a "golden bridge". In April 2006, a medical equipment company in Changsha participated in the bidding for medical equipment of the Affiliated Hospital of Yongzhou Vocational and Technical College.The manager of the company approached Li Lei and asked her to come forward and ask Zhou Yongliang for help.A phone call from Zhou made the winning contract fall into the pocket of the company.The company took out a rebate of 100,000 yuan, and in addition to giving Zhou Yongliang 50,000 yuan as a thank you fee, the other half was directly given to Li Lei. As Zhou Yongliang's many scandals became more and more intense, the main leaders of the city once reminded him to be careful.Unexpectedly, Zhou Yongliang's desire seems to be endless.He was so passionate that he changed the way of hunting for beauty, and finally fell into a "black hole" that could never be restored. In Yongzhou official circles, Zhou Yongliang's special relationship with the underworld figure Qu Guochun is a well-known secret. In the second half of 2002, Qu Guochun was arrested by the Bingshuitan Branch of Yongzhou City during a gathering of people for gambling.The Qu family approached Zhou Yongliang through a friend in the business sector to intercede.Zhou Yongliang immediately called the head of the Bingshuitan Public Security Bureau and asked for a lighter treatment.Sure enough, Qu Guochun was released the next day.On the same day, Qu Guochun hosted a banquet for Zhou Yongliang in the luxury box of the Venice Hotel in Yongzhou, and sent 20,000 yuan to express his gratitude. Ever since he climbed the big tree of Zhou Yongliang, Qu Guochun has nothing to fear in the casino.Once late at night, the police received a report from the crowd: "Someone gathered a crowd to gamble at the Venice Hotel." Immediately, the police rushed to the scene and wanted to take away all the gamblers.Qu Guochun cursed arrogantly: "If you dare to touch a single hair of my hair, you can't eat it." At this time, Zhou Yongliang, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, came wearing a pair of slippers, and in front of six policemen, Qu Guochun waited for him. People take away. In 2003, Yongzhou City decided to relocate the central hospital from the urban area, and Zhou Yongliang was in charge of the project.On the one hand, Zhou Yongliang greeted the Yongzhou Municipal Health Bureau and Yongzhou Central Hospital, and on the other hand, he instructed Qu Guochun to quickly establish a "foreign-funded enterprise" named "Hong Kong Yebin Investment Co., Ltd."Under Zhou Yongliang's management, the company successfully undertook the civil engineering project of the central hospital with a total cost of nearly 200 million yuan.In the process, Qu Guochun "honoured" nearly 200,000 yuan and 2,000 US dollars to Zhou Yongliang, as well as Tudor gold watches and Dupont gold pens worth more than 20,000 yuan. Zhou Yongliang recruited the underworld figure Qu Guochun not only to collect money, but more importantly, to appoint him as an "imperial envoy for choosing concubines" to search for beautiful women everywhere.Every time he went to inspect the work in the counties under his jurisdiction or traveled to Changsha on business, Zhou Yongliang secretly assigned his confidant Qu Guochun to play the vanguard and help him arrange "entertainment programs".Having been with Zhou Yongliang for a long time, Qu Guochun knew the "sex" interests of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee like the back of his hand, and knew what kind of woman Zhou Yongliang liked.In order to accurately satisfy Zhou Yongliang's taste, Qu Guochun often used his mobile phone to take pictures of several "noble concubines" first, and then showed them to Secretary Zhou for appointment. Zhou Yongliang picks up women too much and has no time to take care of his married wife, which arouses the disgust of his wife Zhu Lanying.In order to appease the backyard, Zhou Yongliang supported his wife to open a private hospital in Ningyuan County.Not only that, but he also secretly helped his wife open up financial resources, and used a lot of RMB to soothe his lonely heart. A boss surnamed Wang of Yongzhou Pentium Printing Company implored Zhou Yongliang to "come forward and take care of the printing business of the education system."After discussing with his wife, Zhou Yongliang readily agreed, and decided to let Wang and Zhu Lanying do the actual work.Zhou Yongliang came forward to greet the leaders in charge of education in all counties of the city, and Wang gave Zhu Lanying a kickback of 15%.Therefore, from 2004 to 2005, a considerable part of extracurricular tutoring materials in Yongzhou City were printed by Pentium Company.For two consecutive years, Zhu Lanying received more than 400,000 yuan in kickbacks from Wang.She no longer pursued her husband's affairs outside. Just when Zhou Yongliang was enjoying the blessing of his wife and concubines, an anti-black storm suddenly came. At the beginning of July 2006, the "6.28" task force established by the Hunan Provincial Public Security Bureau rushed to Yongzhou, and Wang Shibin, the deputy director of the Yongzhou Public Security Bureau, shocked the whole country.When the task force searched the home of Qu Guochun, the main member of the case, they found a bank deposit receipt in January 2006 in the empty safe of his home: the bank deposit receipt showed that the account name was Zhou Yongliang, and the amount was 400,000 yuan.In the face of a large number of facts, Qu Guochun's psychological defense completely collapsed.Not only did he explain the crimes of lending usury with Wang Shibin and others, but also the fact that he bribed Zhou Yongliang and lent usury of 3.5 million yuan.On August 17, 2006, the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection imposed "double regulations" on Zhou Yongliang.Zhou Yongliang was arrested on August 28, 2006 with the approval of the procuratorate. After investigation by the Hunan Provincial Procuratorate, from 1994 to 2006, Zhou Yongliang took advantage of his positions as Secretary of the Jianghua County Party Committee and Deputy Secretary of the Yongzhou City Party Committee to help contract projects, coordinate relationships, arrange work, and adjust positions. Wang Zhongyan and other 35 people (or units) donated properties equivalent to more than 2.13 million yuan in total, including more than 410,000 yuan in bribes with his wife Zhu Lanying (handled in a separate case) and mistress Li Lei (handled in a separate case), and more than 1.72 million yuan in bribes alone.He could not explain the legal source of the money and property worth more than 6.57 million yuan, which obviously exceeded the legal income. On August 28, 2008, the Intermediate Court of Huaihua City, Hunan Province made the first-instance verdict on the Zhou Yongliang corruption case: Zhou Yongliang was sentenced to 15 years in prison for accepting bribes, deprived of political rights for five years, and confiscated 2.6 million yuan of property; He was sentenced to four years in prison for the crime of unknown property sources, and he was sentenced to 18 years in prison for several crimes, deprived of political rights for five years, and confiscated property of 2.6 million yuan. (Text/Tan Aifang) The word "Lao Lao" was included in the top ten Internet idioms in 2008 and the 2008 copycat version of the Chinese dictionary. A person who is arrogant, domineering, unreasonable, and does whatever he wants. The term "Lao Lao" is aimed at Zhou Yongliang, the former deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, because Zhou's local nickname is "Secretary Lao Lao".It is reported that in addition to the nickname "Lao Lao", Zhou Yongliang also has two very ironic titles: "Cultural Man" and "Colorful Secretary" (the local dialect reads "Caise" as "Colorful").These nicknames are already well-known in Yongzhou, but his fall was due to another major gangster-related case and "pulled out the carrots and brought out the mud", which shows that the local supervision department has turned a deaf ear to the public opinion.
