Chapter 132 Chen Shihu was taken away
"Have you heard that Deputy County Mayor Ai Yongjie has been taken away by the Municipal Anti-Corruption Bureau!" a voice said excitedly.
"What? How is it possible? He is Chen Shihu's man!" Another voice was full of shock and confusion. Chen Shihu has dominated the Ninghai political arena for more than ten years, and yet someone dares to mess with his people.
"It's true! I saw with my own eyes that people from the city took him away." The first voice said affirmatively.
"What about Chen Shihu? He wouldn't also..." the second voice asked hesitantly.
"That's right, Chen Shihu was also taken away this morning." Someone else said.
This news spread quickly throughout Ninghai County like thunder.
People were so surprised that their mouths could not close, and they talked about this amazing event. Who could have thought that Ninghai local tyrant Chen Shihu would fall so easily.
Chen Shihu's downfall was not the result of Yi Xuexi and Qi Tongwei's efforts, but due to other reasons.
After Qi Tongwei got rid of Bai Yongjun, the director of the Finance Bureau, Yi Xuexue started an anti-corruption campaign throughout the county. Seeing these two people's actions, Chen Shihu quickly guessed that these two people had joined forces to deal with him.
Chen Shihu has been working in Ninghai County for many years. He is not just a member of the county party committee standing committee. He has people in almost every department, and most of them are deputy section-level leaders.
He has people in both the Anti-Corruption Department and the Discipline Inspection Commission.
He knew exactly what the anti-corruption team did every day when he went to that unit the next day. The anti-corruption department of the Discipline Inspection Commission investigated for more than half a month but found nothing.
This made Yi Xuexue a little discouraged, and Qi Tongwei also had a deeper understanding of Chen Shihu's strength. Just when the two were in trouble, good news came that Chen Shihu and others were taken away by the Municipal Anti-Corruption Bureau for investigation.
It turned out that Yang Shuangping, deputy director of the Ninghai County Water Conservancy Bureau, reported Chen Shihu and Ai Yongjie, two members of the county party committee standing committee, and Zhang Haixia, director of the Water Conservancy Bureau, for collusion in bidding and suppressing dissidents.
This deputy director, who had been suppressed for three years, did not go to other departments or units to file complaints, but accepted it silently and then collected evidence.
If he were an ordinary person, the investigation would be fine and the result would most likely be that there were violations of regulations and discipline at work, but no corruption was involved, and no evidence was found for other reported matters.
The director of the Water Conservancy Bureau will then be transferred from his original unit without any changes in his treatment. After one or two years of rumors dying down, he will most likely become the head of the unit he has been transferred from.
What a coincidence is that he is really not an ordinary person. There was an educated youth in their village back then, and he happened to come to visit his grandfather some time ago.
During the conversation, the old man told the educated youth from Beijing about the oppression of his youngest son. Originally, the old man didn't have much hope, and he just cursed a few words out of anger and complained to the educated youth.
What the old man didn't expect was that although this educated youth was an ordinary university professor, her family background was extraordinary. Her husband was in a high position and her son was also an extraordinary person. He was a director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, which was the same position as Hou Liangping held when he appeared in the original drama.
He was worried that he had no way to repay the old man's kindness, so he would not let go of such an opportunity. He went back and told his son about it, asking him to make sure the matter was done.
He had to obey his mother's words, so he contacted Yang Shuangping that day. After learning that the other party had clues, he asked him to take the clues to Luzhou City to find the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Kang Haisheng.
After Kang Haisheng received the call, he was furious. This matter had actually been reported to the capital. How could he dare to neglect it? After reading Yang Shuangping's information, he immediately called the director of the Municipal Procuratorate and the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission to his office.
After the two professionals confirmed that the evidence did not seem to be fake, they called Yi Xuexi and Qi Tongwei separately. After learning about Chen Shihu, they ordered the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Discipline Inspection Commission to take the few people away for investigation.
This is the opening scene.
With the fall of Chen Shihu, Yi Xuexi's anti-corruption campaign became extremely easy. Those who did not dare to tell the truth before and those who leaked information all changed their direction.
Against the backdrop of the anti-corruption campaign in full swing, and with Chen Shihu being taken away again, some coal mine owners became nervous, fearing that they would be caught, and began to think of ways to deal with the situation.
"Give me money and I'll ask you if there is any cat that doesn't steal fish?" One of the men, wearing a big gold chain and holding a cigar in his mouth, was hugging two women, looking very arrogant.
"Brother Long is right. There is no cat that doesn't steal fish these days. Beauty or money, one of them will always drag them into the water." Liu Chun, a short and fat man sitting on the sofa on the other side, said with his eyes narrowed.
"That's right. As long as the stakes are high enough, there's no need to worry about them not giving in."
"Tell me, who should we target, Yi Xuexi or this new guy Qi Tongwei?" asked a man in his forties nearby. His name was Zhao Wei and he was the biggest businessman in the group.
"Do it simultaneously and don't leave anyone behind." said Wei Long, who spoke earlier.
"That's right, but how much money do we need to prepare this time?" someone asked.
"Everyone, let's get together and give each of these two people 200 million yuan. Don't be reluctant. As long as we take them down, we won't have to worry about not making money. I heard that the county is planning to build an industrial park, which is said to be a project worth hundreds of millions of yuan.
As long as we win this project, we will make tens of millions at least. Why would we care about the mere 400 million?" Zhao Wei said with finality.
"A big project worth hundreds of millions of yuan? My goodness, this is a project with a lot of profits. It's not a loss with just 400 million yuan." A group of coal mine bosses quickly decided on a strategy.
As soon as Qi Tongwei walked out of the county government gate that day, he was followed by someone.
"County Magistrate Qi, there is a car following us." Zhang Jun looked in the rearview mirror and said to Qi Tongwei, who was resting with his eyes closed.
"Interesting. Don't worry about them and keep going." Then he took out his cell phone and called the Public Security Bureau Director Wang Yanhong, telling him that he was being followed, and then asked Zhang Jun to drive slower to give the police time to prepare.
Before the police arrived, the following car actually stopped directly in front of Qi Tongwei's car, forced Qi Tongwei's car to stop, and then got out of the car and walked over.
"County Magistrate Qi, I'm Liu Jun, the person in charge of Yongxin Coal Mine. I want to talk to you about something. Can you find a secluded place?"
The man looked very kind, but Qi Tongwei had been the director of the Public Security Bureau in his previous life and had met all kinds of people. He could tell from his eyes that this was a kind-looking man with a cruel heart.
But he was not afraid. Not to mention that Zhang Jun was an extraordinary scout, he himself was the same. Ever since he traveled through time, he had focused on training and had practiced Chinese martial arts for 6 years.
As the saying goes, a skilled person is courageous. Qi Tongwei was not afraid of the visitor at all.
"There is nothing that cannot be said to others. It's good to say it here. Go ahead, I'm listening." Qi Tongwei said lightly. These people are used to being rampant and dared to intercept the county magistrate's car in broad daylight.
"County Magistrate Qi, are you sure you want to say this here?" The man looked at the people walking on the road and said.
"What's wrong? Is there something shameful?" Qi Tongwei said to Zhang Jun without even raising his head, "Drive away."
"County Magistrate Qi, our boss's brother is Mayor Liu of Luzhou City. Are you sure you don't want to meet him?" He waved at his car.
A man got off the car, carrying a large suitcase in his hand, and walked towards Qi Tongwei.
