Chapter 138 Hou Liangping leads the team to investigate Yi Xuexue

Yi Xuexi also felt that the anti-corruption work he led seemed to have reached a deadlock, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to collect evidence.

Nowadays, almost no cadres actively cooperate with the investigation, and everyone’s attitude is very negative, even within the investigation team.

He also heard some complaints, criticizing himself for going too far.

Yi Xuexue did not care about these criticisms. His consistent stance was to fight both tigers and flies, but he did not want to have his normal work affected.

Therefore, when faced with Qi Tongwei's question, he did not immediately express his objection, but instead sought a solution.

Qi Tongwei then told the truth about the strategy he had thought of earlier: "We can adopt a strategy of differentiated treatment and division and disintegration."

"Difference between differentiation?" Yi Xuexue asked puzzledly.

“Yes, differentiation.

For example, for those who have embezzled a small amount of money and did not commit corruption voluntarily, as long as they voluntarily hand over the proceeds of the violation and have made meritorious contributions, they can be exempted from punishment and their records will not be included.

I think this group of people should account for the vast majority of corrupt personnel. Only when this group of people is stabilized and their work is on the right track can they obtain more clues about corruption.

As for those who have embezzled large amounts of money but not voluntarily, if they can voluntarily hand over the illegal gains and have made major contributions, they can be given a lighter punishment or be exempted from punishment.

Apart from those who are not voluntary in their corruption, the rest are corrupt elements who actively solicit bribes. These people are relatively stubborn, of a bad nature, lack party spirit and principles, and should be severely punished.

However, in order to reduce the difficulty of collecting evidence and speed up the investigation, appropriate compromises can be made.

For example, those whose corruption amount does not reach the level required for criminal prosecution can be given a lighter punishment or exempted from punishment if they have made significant contributions, but the record will be kept in the file.

If the amount of corruption is large and the person is willing to repent and has made major contributions, he may be given a lighter punishment.

What I said is just a general idea. The specific methods still need further study by the anti-corruption working group.

But I think overall, we should still adhere to the strategy of punishing past mistakes, preventing future ones and curing the disease to save lives," Qi Tongwei explained.

Qi Tongwei actually knew very well that many people did not really want to engage in corruption, but were forced to do so under external pressure.

Not everyone is as brave as Ma Xiangyu to resist.

Most people can only endure it silently and are eventually dragged down. If someone can rescue them in the middle, perhaps their lives will be different.

After listening to Qi Tongwei's narration, Yi Xuexi was silent for a moment, then nodded.

He also knows,

The political ecology of Ninghai County is very poor. Under the leadership of Chen Shihu and his group, the atmosphere is very bad, and entertaining and giving gifts have become commonplace.

Now we can only follow Qi Tongwei's advice and treat them differently.

After receiving Qi Tongwei's suggestion, Yi Xuexue developed a new set of methods based on Qi Tongwei's suggestion on the same day.

Once this document was issued, it immediately caused a sensation. Those corrupt officials who had embezzled large amounts of money began to feel afraid, fearing that their achievements would be reported as merit, and began to think of other ways.

Whether there is corruption or not, colleagues in the unit are very clear about it. After the article "Yixuexi" was published, it achieved good results in less than three days, and many people came forward to confess.

In order to gain merit, the people who turned themselves in revealed a lot of inside information about corruption, and the work situation suddenly opened up.

However, Yi Xuexue's actions also angered some vested interests, including Lu Xiaoning and his partners. Inspired by Qi Tongwei's false accusation case, they learned their lesson this time.

After Yi Xuexue left, Lu Xiaoning sent someone to take away the 200 million yuan passbook that he had left behind last time, and then took out 200 million yuan from his home and tried to find a way to deliver it to Yi Xuexue's residence.

Then he arranged for someone to write an anonymous letter to the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau, saying that he saw Yi Xuexue soliciting a bribe of 200 million yuan from a company and requested an investigation.

Since Qi Tongwei's false accusation case has not been closed and reported to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and false accusations of corruption are still rare nowadays, the whistleblower swore that Yi Xuexue had embezzled 200 million yuan, which soon attracted the attention of the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau.

The Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau attached great importance to the case and immediately dispatched a working group to Ninghai County to investigate. The team leader was none other than Hou Liangping.

With the support of Zhao Lichun, he has now become the deputy director of the Investigation Division of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Handong Province, and his future is limitless.

Hou Liangping has been very successful in recent years. Thanks to his relationship with the second daughter of the Zhao family, his career has been very smooth. Also, because Liang Qunfeng has retreated to the second line, his status in the family has also risen. He is no longer the family "husband" who is cautious in everything he does.

Looking at Ninghai's basic situation, one name made Hou Liangping very uncomfortable. However, Qi Tongwei had Pei Yihong, the secretary of the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee, behind him, so on the surface he did not dare to be jealous at all.

He was very jealous of Qi Tongwei. Why should he, a country boy, marry Pei Yihong's daughter? She was a beautiful, talented and well-connected gifted girl and should marry someone like him.

"Director Hou, should we say hello to Secretary Kang of the Municipal Party Committee?" After entering Luzhou City, his subordinates interrupted Hou Liangping's deep thoughts.

Hou Liangping said firmly: "What are you saying? Don't you know what judicial independence is?

What we need to do now is to search Yi Xuexue’s residence and office as soon as possible to prevent the stolen money from being transferred.”

Investigator Liu Yang frowned and said: "From Yi Xuexue's work history, he doesn't look like a corrupt official. One of my classmates even told me about Yi Xuexue.

Six years ago, Yi Xuexue was already the secretary of the Jinshan County Party Committee. County Chief Li Dakang caused a village head to die at a mobilization meeting in order to build a road. Li Dakang was Secretary Zhao’s secretary.

After explaining, he looked at Hou Liangping with a hidden gaze. It was said that Hou Liangping was the lover of the second lady of the Zhao family.

The other investigators smiled vaguely, and Liu Yang continued, "Yi Xuexue believed that Li Dakang had connections and could apply for funds for road construction, so he took the initiative to take responsibility and was transferred from his post.

For a leading cadre who works for the Party and the people to be accused of corruption, I always feel that there is something we don’t know about.”

"What inside story could there be? It's just that they have forgotten their original intention of serving the country and the people and have lost their party spirit.

I'm telling you guys, don't handle the case with emotion, we must treat Yi Xuexi as a criminal suspect." Hou Liangping seemed to be full of justice.

When it comes to party spirit, he looks very righteous. If people didn't know that he was the lover of Zhao Xiaohui, the second daughter of the Zhao family, they might really be deceived by his appearance.

However, a higher-ranking official can crush someone so powerful that the others can only do as Hou Liangping wishes.

As expected, Hou Liangping led the team directly to Ninghai County without saying hello, and regardless of the impact, he broke into Yi Xuexue's office.

"Who are you?" Yi Xuexi looked at the people who were eyeing him eagerly, feeling a little surprised.

"Secretary Yi, we are from the Investigation Division 1 of the Handong Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Someone reported that you have accepted bribes of 200 million yuan, and we are now searching your residence and office in accordance with the law." Hou Liangping showed his search warrant and work permit.

"Me? Corruption and bribery? Return 200 million!" Yi Xuexue asked, pointing at his nose.

"Yes, it's you." Hou Liangping said proudly, and then pointed at the people accompanying him, "Search."

"Please pay attention, some materials are confidential, don't mess them up." Yi Xuexi was not corrupt at all and was not afraid of being investigated at all.

However, the arrival of Hou Liangping and others had a great impact, causing the staff of the county party committee office to begin to doubt whether Yi Xuexi was really corrupt.
