In the afternoon, the Secretary General of the Municipal Government, Jiang Bingxuan, was arranged to accompany the Nanzhou City investment delegation for a field trip. Chen Xing returned to his office. The Municipal Prosecutor Cheng Rong Jiang also came to the Municipal Government to formally report Deng Jinchun's case to Chen Xing.
Listening to Cheng Rong Jiang's report on Deng Jinchun's case, Chen Xing nodded with satisfaction. He immediately instructed that no matter who greeted them, they should ignore them and strictly investigate them according to the law.
Cheng Rong Jiang could only nod at Chen Xing's instructions. Judicial organs like the Procuratorate and the Court were elected by the people's congress of the same level. They were only half a level lower than the Municipal Government and were not under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Government of the same level. They were only responsible to the people's congress of the same level. However, the real situation was not like this. Not to mention the Procuratorate, even the courts were inevitably interfered with by the leaders, resulting in some kind of unfairness in the judgment. The so-called judicial independence was more of an article on paper.
In fact, the phenomenon itself was caused by many unreasonable systems in the system. The Procuratorate said that it was not under the leadership of the Municipal Government of the same level, but the funds of the Procuratorate were allocated by the municipal finance. The economic base determined the superstructure, and the financial power was in the hands of the city. The Procuratorate did not have the confidence to not be under the leadership of the city. If the finance was not independent, how could the judiciary be independent?
Investigating Deng Jinchun was just a verbal instruction from Chen Xing. When Chen Xing gave the instruction, the Procuratorate went to investigate. It was that simple, and those procedures became more or less decorations. Fortunately, the final result proved that Chen Xing did not mean to retaliate against some cadres. It turned out that Deng Jinchun was a big worm among the cadres, and his corruption was very serious. Currently, the results of the investigation of Deng Jinchun's bank account showed that there were millions of deposits in one of Deng Jinchun's bank accounts. This was not only all of Deng Jinchun's property, but there were also two properties registered under Deng Jinchun's name. As for Deng Jinchun's family, there were more. This was probably far from all of it. Cheng Rong Jiang believed that if they continued to dig deeper, there would be more 'surprises'.
What do you think of Deng Jinchun meeting comrade Gao Qiang today? Chen Xing suddenly asked.
In the end, it still came. Cheng Rongjiang sighed inwardly. He had guessed that Chen Xing would definitely ask about this. As expected, it came. Cheng Rongjiang organized his words. He didn't want to get involved in the fight between the leaders of the city. He didn't know what Chen Xing thought about Ceng Gaoqiang, but he had to be careful. Cheng Rongjiang seemed to be thinking about something. At last, Cheng Rongjiang said solemnly. Deputy Mayor Deng was promoted from the director of the Health Bureau. He was also in charge of science, education, culture, and public health. It was not surprising that he had a close relationship with the people in the health system. Therefore, he couldn't tell anything from Deng Jinchun's last meeting with Ceng Gaoqiang.
Was that so? Chen Xing smiled. He knew that Cheng Rongjiang's answer was equivalent to no answer, so he didn't say anything else. Cheng Rongjiang's answer was within his expectation. He asked this question, but he didn't expect Cheng Rongjiang's answer, so he wasn't disappointed. He smiled and said, "You should investigate Deng Jinchun's case as soon as possible. I will bring this case to the Standing Committee. I hope it will be a wake-up call for all cadres."
"Okay, we will try our best. We will speed up the progress." Cheng Rongjiang nodded in response to Chen Xing's words. He was secretly speechless. Chen Xing's words didn't show anything on the surface, but when he thought about it carefully, he could see the power of Chen Xing. The Standing Committee had always been led by Ge Jian-ming, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. But Chen Xing's words seemed to be overtaking the leader. Cheng Rongjiang didn't know what kind of fight would happen between the leaders of the Party Committee and the government in the future.
Mayor, I'll go back first. Cheng Rongjiang stood up. No matter how Chen Xing and Ge Jian-ming fought in the future, it was none of his business. Chen Xing's opinion of Ceng Gaoqiang was also none of his business. Deng Jinchun was a municipal cadre, and he didn't have a strong background. So he could investigate it without worry. However, Ceng Gaoqiang was a provincial cadre, and it was not the jurisdiction of the Municipal Procuratorate. Although the Chen family behind Ceng Gaoqiang was no longer as glorious as before, Cheng Rongjiang didn't want to offend them. Therefore, when Chen Xing hinted that he wanted to use Deng Jinchun's case to get Ceng Gaoqiang involved, Cheng Rongjiang didn't dare to say anything.
Just when Cheng Rongjiang was about to leave, Chen Xing's secretary, Huang Jianghua, came in. He glanced at Cheng Rongjiang and Huang Jianghua put a letter on Chen Xing's desk. Mayor, this is a report letter that was just transferred from the Letter Office.
Oh? Chen Xing's expression changed. He quickly stopped Cheng Rongjiang and said, "Comrade Cheng Rongjiang, don't be in a hurry to leave. The letter that was transferred from the Letter Office is definitely not something they can handle. Maybe the Procuratorate will have to deal with this matter."
Cheng Rongjiang was stunned. He had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded and didn't hurry to leave. As for Chen Xing, after he opened the envelope, his eyebrows knitted tightly. Sigh, what I said came true. Comrade Rongjiang, look.
After taking the report letter from Chen Xing, Cheng Rongjiang quickly skimmed through it. Soon, Cheng Rongjiang also frowned and raised his head to look at Chen Xing. Cheng Rongjiang was in a dilemma. Seeing that Chen Xing didn't say anything, Cheng Rongjiang didn't say anything.
Comrade Cheng Rongjiang, have you finished reading it? What do you think we should do? Chen Xing looked at Cheng Rongjiang. Since Cheng Rongjiang didn't say anything, Chen Xing forced him to say that this was a report against the Executive Deputy Director of the Finance Bureau, Ling Su. Chen Xing was well aware of the origin of the report letter. It was written by the Director of the Finance Bureau, Zhou Fangyu. Of course, Zhou Fangyu wouldn't be so stupid as to write it himself. This report letter was typed on a computer. There was no way to match the handwriting.
Mayor Chen, some of the reports against our cadres are fake. I think it's better to deal with this report letter coldly. If we investigate an important cadre with just a report letter, I'm afraid our own cadres will be bitterly disappointed. He didn't want to say anything, but Chen Xing forced him to. How could he not know that Ling Su was on Ge Jian-ming's side? Cheng Rongjiang didn't even need to think to know that Ge Jian-ming would be furious if they found out that Ling Su was someone close to the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. At that time, Cheng Rongjiang didn't have to think to know that Ge Jian-ming would definitely fly into a rage.
If that happened, he wouldn't have a good ending. I think it's better to verify it. Otherwise, the people will be bitterly disappointed. Chen Xing denied Cheng Rongjiang's statement. Looking at Cheng Rongjiang who was in a difficult position, Chen Xing didn't give him a choice. How about this, you guys go and verify the contents of the report letter first. If it's true, then we'll investigate further. Of course, if it's fake, then it means that someone is deliberately slandering us. We'll just ignore it.
This … Cheng Rongjiang was in a difficult position.
Comrade Cheng Rongjiang, as the leader of the prosecution, do you think that we shouldn't take this report letter seriously? Chen Xing stared at Cheng Rongjiang. In fact, he was quite satisfied with Cheng Rongjiang. At least up until now, Cheng Rongjiang was still obedient to him. When he asked Cheng Rongjiang to investigate, Cheng Rongjiang was also quite cooperative. However, Cheng Rongjiang didn't show any obvious political inclination. He wasn't directly on his side. Of course, he didn't hear that Cheng Rongjiang was close to the Municipal Party Committee. Therefore, in Chen Xing's eyes, Cheng Rongjiang was someone worth roping in. He wouldn't give Cheng Rongjiang the chance to choose a neutral position. You have to make a stand anyway. If you want to stand in the middle and not help either side, there's no way.
Well, I'll ask someone to check the contents of the report letter. Cheng Rongjiang nodded helplessly and agreed. He had made up his mind to delay this matter as long as possible. The fight between the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the Mayor seemed to be beginning. He didn't want to get involved. Cheng Rongjiang didn't believe that this report letter was just sent by the Letter Office. He was afraid that it had already been in the hands of Chen Xing. Huang Jianghua happened to send the letter in, which was probably arranged by Chen Xing on purpose.
Cheng Rongjiang left Chen Xing's office with a heavy heart. He was very worried. He knew that Chen Xing didn't dare to use the people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection, so he wanted to force him to choose a side. This made Cheng Rongjiang feel deeply helpless. In this society, people couldn't help themselves. Cheng Rongjiang let out a long sigh.
The Mayor, Director Cheng, he might be able to see through it. After Cheng Rongjiang left, Huang Jianghua whispered to Chen Xing.
It would be strange if he didn't know that we arranged it on purpose. Chen Xing smiled and shook his head.
Mayor, if that's the case, then why are you still here? Huang Jianghua didn't understand.
It didn't matter if he could see through it or not. What mattered was whether he would do it or not. Chen Xing smiled. The report letter was from Zhou Fangyu, and the contents were true. Zhou Fangyu's ass was not clean. If he investigated it, he would definitely make it harder for Cheng Rongjiang to back down. Of course, he had to prevent Cheng Rongjiang from procrastinating. Therefore, Chen Xing planned to remind Zhou Fangyu to continue making trouble. He didn't want nothing more than a report letter.
On Nanzhou City's Xuefu Road, the former Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Chen Tongjin, lived in a residential area for retired officials. Not far from the residential area was the Nanzhou Retirement Facility for Retired Officials, the Nursing Home for Retired Officials, the Municipal Activity Center for the Elderly, and other buildings. The residential area for the families of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial government was also concentrated in this area.
Vice Mayor Ceng Gaoqiang didn't go to work at the Municipal Government in the afternoon, but instead came to Chen Tongjin's residence. He called Chen Tongjin brother-in-law, and it was because of this relationship that he was able to rise from an ordinary member of the Health Bureau to the current Vice Mayor. Ceng Gaoqiang knew that Chen Tongjin still attached great importance to him, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much effort to help him to the position of Vice Mayor. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the Chen family currently didn't have a cadre who could hold up the facade in the officialdom, so the Chen family had to support him. The declining Chen family needed to maintain its influence in the officialdom of Nanzhou, and he was the lucky one. Otherwise, he wouldn't have received such a strong support since he wasn't a direct descendant of the Chen family.
Zhang Xinjun was also taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and there hasn't been any news until now. Two Vice Mayors have already been taken away by him, and he has also taken control of the Municipal Government as he wished. Now, he has set his sights on the cadre below. Today, I was having dinner with Deng Jinchun, and the people from the Procuratorate broke in without saying a word to arrest people. I called Cheng Rong Jiang, and he said that this was Chen Xing's order. Uncle, tell me, is this Chen Xing crazy? If he doesn't mess with people, he can't sleep. He's not here to do proper business, I think he's here to mess around.
Ceng Gaoqiang complained in front of Chen Tongjin, pointing out Chen Xing's faults. Uncle, you should react more with the other old cadres in the province, and suggest to the provincial leaders that if you don't criticize some of Chen Xing's behavior, who knows what will happen to Nanzhou in the future because of Chen Xing?
Little Deng was taken away by the Procuratorate. What happened? Chen Tongjin looked at Ceng Gaoqiang doubtfully. He had a good impression of Deng Jinchun, who had treated him before. Although Deng Jinchun was now the Deputy Bureau Chief and the Dean, he rarely treated patients directly. But when some old cadres in the city needed to see a doctor, Deng Jinchun often visited them personally. It had to be said that he had problems in other aspects, but his medical skills were excellent. He was one of the famous medical experts in the province. When Chen Tongjin heard that Deng Jinchun was taken away, he was puzzled. Little Deng was a cadre engaged in medical work. What could he do that violated the law?
That was right. He didn't know what law Deng Jinchun had broken, but Chen Xing had instructed the Procuratorate to arrest him. He couldn't ask anything. Ceng Gaoqiang echoed.
I said that this little baby had no hair on his mouth and was not reliable. Hmph, the higher-ups transferred such a young man to Nanzhou City to be the mayor. A provincial capital city was given to a young man to govern. This was pure nonsense. He didn't have a good impression of Chen Xing. His precious son, Chen Dafei, had been detained by the Public Security Bureau under Chen Xing's instructions. He asked someone to plead, but Chen Xing didn't give him face. He was detained for fifteen days before he was released. Chen Tongjin had a problem with Chen Xing since then.
Who let him have someone above him? Ceng Gaoqiang said helplessly.
It seems that I have to visit other old friends in the next few days. There are some things that I should talk to my old friends about. I can't let these young cadres mess around. Nanzhou City has its current situation, and I don't know how many people's painstaking efforts are in it. Hmph, no one can destroy the good situation of Nanzhou City. Chen Tongjin snorted coldly. Although he had retired for many years, his face still had a dignified expression. After all, he had been the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee for many years.
