Chapter 139 Presiding over the work of the County Committee
"Director Hou, we found nothing." Liu Yang, a clerk from the Investigation Department, shook his head at Hou Liangping.
Hou Liangping lifted his butt off the table and took out another search warrant to show it to Yi Xuexue. "Secretary Yi, please come with us to this place."
When Yi Xuexue saw that it was his residence, he had a clear conscience and was not afraid of investigation at all. He stood up and took a few people to his residence.
Apart from anything else, Yi Xuexue is indeed considered to be honest. Most of the furniture and supplies in his dormitory are old, not as good as Qi Tongwei's. Hou Liangping turned a blind eye to these and he now wants to solve the case.
With the second young lady of the Zhao family around, his contributions will not be wiped out, and everything will go smoothly before he reaches the rank of director.
"Director Hou, we found two suitcases under the bed. Do you want to open them?" Investigator Zhang Qian reported.
"Luggage?" Yi Xuexue was a little confused. When had he ever bought a suitcase?
"Bring the suitcase over here, and let our Secretary Yi open it." Hou Liangping's eyes lit up, "Secretary Yi, could you please open the suitcase?"
"This is not my suitcase, how do you want me to open it?" Yi Xuexi's heart skipped a beat. He already felt that this was a trap set against him.
"It's not yours? Then why is it in your residence?" Hou Liangping raised his voice, "Liu Yang, pry open the suitcase for me."
Before Hou Liangping finished speaking, Liu Yang said, "Director Hou, the original password is 0000, and it has been opened." As he opened the suitcase lid, what came into view were stacks of blue-black hundred-yuan bills.
"This..." Yi Xuexi could no longer speak. He knew that he was being plotted against.
Hou Liangping reached out and took a stack of hundred-yuan bills, patted his palms with it, and said, "Secretary Yi, now you can tell me how you solicited bribes."
Yi Xuexue looked very unhappy, and said earnestly, "Director Hou, this is really not my money. I was framed. I don't know who put the money here."
"Go ahead and tell the judge what you are saying. If they want to frame you, why not someone else?" Hou Liangping raised his voice and said, "The only thing you have to do now is to tell the truth and try to get leniency."
"Director Hou, this is really not my money. I was framed." Yi Xuexi said earnestly.
"Leave this to the judge. Take the man away." Hou Liangping said to Liu Yang and others.
When Hou Liangping was searching Yi Xuexue's residence, Qi Tongwei was leading the staff of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission to check the site selection of the industrial park. He also received the call when Yi Xuexue was taken away.
Qi Tongwei knew very well what kind of person Hou Liangping was, and he knew that Hou Liangping would not listen to anything he said, so he immediately called Secretary Kang of the Municipal Party Committee and told him that Yi Xuexi had been taken away.
"Tongwei, tell me the truth, what do you think of Yi Xuexue? Is he really corrupt?" Kang Haisheng asked with a frown.
He had always had a good impression of Yi Xuexi, thinking that although he was not very capable, he was upright and principled. Now that he suddenly heard that he was suspected of corruption, he couldn't believe it.
Qi Tongwei pondered for a moment and answered seriously: "Secretary Kang, from what I know about Secretary Yi, he doesn't look like a corrupt person.
I guess he was framed, maybe by the same people who wanted to destroy me before. They hit a snag with me, so they turned their attention to Secretary Yi, and Secretary Yi got caught in the trap by accident. "
Kang Haisheng was silent for a moment. "I understand. Yi Xuexue may not be able to work for the time being. You should take charge of the work of the Ninghai County Party Committee for the time being and wait for the results of Yi Xuexue's investigation."
After hanging up the phone, Kang Haisheng first called Gao Yuliang and asked him to immediately urge the investigators to investigate the case of falsely accusing Qi Tongwei of corruption.
He wanted to take this material to meet with Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee in order to tell Secretary Li about the rampant criminals and to let everyone know that Yi Xuexi might have been framed, so that the Anti-Corruption Bureau would not treat Yi Xuexi harshly during the investigation.
And ask them to investigate the matter thoroughly so that Yi can be cleared of all charges.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Qi Tongwei received a call from Kang Haisheng's secretary Zhang Yongqian, telling him that Secretary Kang would come to Ninghai County early the next morning to hold a meeting with the Ninghai County Party Committee and asked Qi Tongwei to make preparations before the meeting.
Qi Tongwei immediately told his secretary Hu Haitao to go and notify the meeting tomorrow morning, while he himself began to sort out his recent work.
The next day, Qi Tongwei arrived at the unit before 9 o'clock. He contacted Zhang Yongqian's secretary in the morning and learned that they would arrive in Ninghai at about o'clock.
Those who came this time included Secretary Kang of the Municipal Party Committee, Minister of the Organization Department of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee Lei Jun, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Director of the Public Security Bureau Gao Yuliang, Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee Gao Fei and others, all of whom are important figures in the city.
After staying in the office until 8:40, Qi Tongwei brought a group of standing committee members to the government gate to wait for Secretary Kang and his party. He learned from Teacher Gao that Secretary Kang did not like formalism and asked him not to wait at the provincial road intersection.
With Teacher Gao's guidance, Qi Tongwei finally went against the majority's opinion and stayed at the government gate.
When it was almost 9 o'clock, two silver-white business cars slowly drove into the government gate.
Qi Tongwei quickly led people to meet them.
After exchanging greetings, everyone walked towards the government building together. The others went to the conference room first, while Qi Tongwei took Kang Haisheng to his office.
"Secretary Kang, I guess it's because of this reason?" Qi Tongwei immediately recounted the anti-corruption work presided over by Yi Xuexue, and believed that Yi Xuexue had blocked someone's financial and official career path, which led to this false accusation.
"Tongwei, you are great for not taking advantage of others' misfortunes. You are a principled cadre.
In the past few months, our Ninghai has been unusually lively. Not long ago, three members of the Standing Committee were taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation. Now they have been sent to the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and the facts of the crime have basically been determined.
Now Comrade Yi Xuexue has also been taken away. Regardless of whether he was framed or not, he can no longer do his job for the time being, but the development of our Ninghai cannot stop.
I suggest that you take charge of the work first and wait for Comrade Yi Xuexue's investigation results. What do you think?" Kang Haisheng was very satisfied with Qi Tongwei's answer.
"Secretary Kang, I will obey your orders and those of the Municipal Party Committee." Qi Tongwei answered decisively.
"Okay. After you take charge of the work, you must continue Comrade Yi Xuexue's anti-corruption work.
We cannot compromise with these corrupt elements. Don't think that they can get away with it by framing Yi Xuexue. They are dreaming. "Kang Haisheng was completely angry. The corrupt elements had gone too far this time.
Afterwards, the two exchanged views on anti-corruption work. Kang Haisheng affirmed the plan he and Yi Xuexue had drawn up, and then the two went to the meeting room.
Everyone in the conference room was already seated, chatting in low voices, waiting for Kang Haisheng, the top leader of the municipal party committee.
Seeing Kang Haisheng coming in, everyone stood up and said, "Everyone, sit down. Let's have a small meeting today."
After the meeting started, Qi Tongwei first made a routine work report on behalf of Ninghai County. He reported to everyone on the work situation of Ninghai County, and put forward some development plans and suggestions, as well as future development goals and key projects.
After Qi Tongwei finished his report, Organization Department Minister Lei Jun announced the document, and Qi Tongwei temporarily took charge of the work of the county party committee, and then Kang Haisheng delivered a speech.
He affirmed the work achievements of Ninghai County and expressed support for the development plan proposed by Qi Tongwei.
Changing the subject to anti-corruption, he first criticized himself, saying that he had a certain responsibility for the corruption in Ninghai and that he did not recognize the true face of Chen Shihu and others early on.
He said that Chen Shihu and others had been transferred to judicial prosecution, and asked Qi Tongwei to eradicate the pernicious influence of Chen Shihu and others, and then implement the anti-corruption plan formulated by the Ninghai County Party Committee to the end. He would never compromise with corrupt elements, and there would be no limit to this anti-corruption campaign.
The meeting lasted for more than an hour. Kang Haisheng talked about many things, especially anti-corruption. He asked the members of the Ninghai County Party Committee to fully support Qi Tongwei and carry out the anti-corruption campaign to the end.
Afterwards, Gao Yuliang also gave a speech, saying that the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments would increase their support for Ninghai, and would make sure to catch all the lawbreakers and criminals in one fell swoop and provide Ninghai with a good development environment.
After the meeting, Qi Tongwei invited Kang Haisheng and his party to visit the site of the industrial park and some key projects.
