Chapter 498 The curtain opens
"Have you heard if they have committed any other illegal or disciplinary violations?" Song Yuhang asked An Bo.
An Bo replied: "I have heard of it, but it was only spread by lower-level cadres. I don't know if it is true or not."
Liu Bin continued, "There is a saying that there is no smoke without fire. Since it can be spread, there should be some shadow of it. What do you think?"
An Bo nodded, and then said: "People below are saying that Cao Yu is the most corrupt county party secretary in Liuhe County. He has embezzled at least tens of billions."
"Over ten billion? A county party secretary?" Song Yuhang asked in surprise. He found it hard to believe that a county party secretary could embezzle over ten billion. He thought it was a bit exaggerated.
"Many people in the county party committee compound said so. I don't know the specific situation, but even if there was no corruption of tens of billions, there must have been tens of millions." An Bo explained.
"Where is County Magistrate Tan Yifan?" Song Yuhang asked.
"Everyone says Tan Yifan is just a spendthrift, and Cao Yu has the final say in everything. No one has ever heard of him engaging in corruption.
But this man is very lustful and has several lovers, the most famous of whom is Qiang Yongyan, the director of the county education bureau. "An Bo was in the county party committee office and was well-informed.
Then, An Bo mentioned many rumors about members of the leadership team of Liuhe County, but these were not supported by evidence and needed further investigation.
However, with the direction provided by Anbo, the investigation became relatively simple.
Look, in less than seven days, several people got the solid evidence that Tan Yifan had a mistress.
"Team Leader Song, these are the photos we took. I think we can contact Tan Yifan now." Liu Fei plugged in the USB drive and played the photos of Tan Yifan having affairs with several lovers.
"It's just like An Bo said, this Tan Yifan is a sex maniac. He met four mistresses in just seven days." Liu Fei talked about the surveillance footage.
"I agree with your opinion, but I need to report first." After saying that, Song Yuhang called Lu Shuyue and told her the truth.
Lu Shuyue did not give direct instructions, but went to report to Qi Tongwei.
Handong Provincial Party Committee, Office of Qi Tongwei.
"This is indeed a breakthrough. We will follow the plan of the investigators and follow their opinions in the future." Qi Tongwei first affirmed Song Yuhang's plan.
"Yes, I will notify Song Yuhang and others to take action." Then, in front of Qi Tongwei, he notified Song Yuhang to arrest Tan Yifan and make a breakthrough from him.
Afterwards, Lu Shuyue reported to Qi Tongwei the truth that the investigation team had found.
"So this is the situation. I'm afraid it's not just in Liuhe County. There should be similar situations in other places." After listening to Lu Shuyue's report, Qi Tongwei quickly made the above judgment.
Lu Shuyue didn't say anything, waiting for Qi Tongwei's instructions.
"It seems that the government debt statistics from some time ago should not be accurate." Qi Tongwei thought of the situation of the government debt investigation some time ago.
According to statistics from the Provincial Department of Finance, the total government debt of Handong Province is more than 8200 billion yuan, with an additional government debt of 1000 billion yuan.
Although this number is not small, it is not particularly difficult to solve these debts given the fiscal revenue of the Handong Provincial Government. He has already made a plan to solve the government debt within three years.
However, he only now realizes that this number is probably far lower than the actual number. Some people, in order to get promoted, are afraid of taking responsibility and dare not report the actual situation.
"Secretary Qi, do you want to go down and check it out?" Lu Shuyue suggested.
Qi Tongwei frowned and said self-deprecatingly: "It's time to check it carefully. I don't even know if the data reported below is true."
Lu Shuyue thought for a moment and said, "Secretary Qi, I suggest that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection take the lead and work with the finance, audit and other relevant departments to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth inspection of the debt situation of governments at all levels across the province, as well as the random collection and fines."
“Okay, let’s put it this way. You should notify all units and ask them to re-report government debts within a week, including those hidden debts.
A week later, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will organize relevant departments to conduct an inspection. If it is found that the reported data does not match the actual situation, the heads of each unit, the financial directors, and the leaders in charge will all be removed from their posts."
Qi Tongwei decided to deal with the situation of data falsification seriously. He found that falsification seemed to have become a habitual means for everyone.
Then, Qi Tongwei continued, "In addition, all kinds of random charges and fines must be severely punished once they are verified! The first ones to be punished are Jinghai City and Liuhe County."
"Yes, Secretary Qi." Lu Shuyue quickly agreed.
Qi Tongwei was really angry this time. He felt that if he compared these people with himself in his previous life, he could be called a good official.
These people only think about how to keep their official hats every day. They have no sense of responsibility at all. They even try to make up the deficit through non-tax fines. It is simply lawless!
He felt that great efforts should be made to rectify the team of leading cadres, those who could be reformed should be reformed, and those who could not be reformed should be arrested, so that those who were willing to work and start businesses could be promoted.
Economic development relies on investment, consumption, technological growth, etc., rather than blindly taking shortcuts and squeezing the hard-earned money of the people to cope with the pressure of economic downturn.
Afterwards, the two talked about the specific methods for a while, and then Lu Shuyue went downstairs to prepare. Qi Tongwei asked his secretary to notify Li Dakang to come to his office.
Li Dakang arrived very quickly. He was very grateful to Qi Tongwei, his mentor, but it was just gratitude.
Qi Tongwei naturally understood this. He used Li Dakang not because of his loyalty, but because of his ability. Anyway, Li Dakang could not pose a threat to him.
Qi Tongwei directly told Li Dakang about the situation in Liuhe County.
"Comrade Dakang, judging from the situation in Liuhe County, I'm afraid many places will also try to find ways to increase non-tax revenue. We develop the economy to let the people live a good life instead of a hard life.
Is the situation in Liuhe County an isolated case or a common phenomenon?
I hope the government will not rely on statistical reports when checking economic data! It must personally go to the grassroots level to carry out comprehensive and detailed research!
A situation like the one in Liuhe must never happen again!" Qi Tongwei said solemnly.
Hearing this, Li Dakang felt like a thousand horses were galloping through his heart. The only thing he wanted to do at this moment was to curse fiercely: "Fuck you!"
If the members of Liuhe County's leadership team were standing in front of him at this moment, he swore that he would definitely curse their ancestors harshly.
Li Dakang is currently only the acting governor, although his official promotion to governor is basically a done deal if nothing unexpected happens. But then again, as long as he is not officially promoted, there is still the possibility of accidents.
Thinking of this, Li Dakang became even angrier.
Suppressing his anger, Li Dakang respectfully asked Qi Tongwei, "Secretary Qi, in your opinion, can we arrange for personnel from the provincial government office to go down and supervise? We need to check carefully to see if there are other places with similar situations."
Qi Tongwei nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "Well, OK. You can make arrangements with the government. You must ensure the accuracy of economic data so that more reasonable economic policies can be formulated.
In addition, the government must ensure that reporting channels are unobstructed and at the same time pay close attention to social public opinion trends.
Once we detect any signs of trouble, we must quickly follow up and deal with it properly.”
Afterwards, the two talked about Handong’s next development direction.
