Chapter 83 [No Reward and No Punishment]

・・

Please vote for me, thank you, bow!

・・

The formation of factions between the political axe and the party committees to carry out a certain degree of struggle is a means to keep local power too centralized, and at the same time, it will also form mutual supervision, which is not harmful to the common people, but it always outweighs the disadvantages.

It's a balance.

If the struggle is too intense, officials will have no intention of administering the government and will only be entangled in political competition, and the common people will have no livelihood in the people. And if there is no struggle, under the word of the hall, the officials will cover the sky with one hand, and any local problems will not be exposed. Neither of these situations is needed by the higher-level leadership.

Runyang is in this case, the struggle between Zhou Weishun and Zhao Yida is more intense, and Zhang Tongxun and Shi Weixian are inserted as a clever move to balance the two sides.

And Zhou Weishun's dismount will inevitably implicate the province. As the faction of Yang Ming and Bian Defender, who cultivated Zhou Weishun, they will obviously be affected to a certain extent. If Zhou Weishun takes the initiative to explain and does not implicate any other problems, Yang Ming's opponent faction will not have too many opportunities to take advantage of, and this matter will slowly calm down. But if Zhou Weishun's matter is too widely implicated, it will give another faction in the province an excellent opportunity to launch a strong attack on Yang Ming's faction.

Whether it is Runyang or Jiangdong Province, the political arena has always maintained a delicate balance. And if Yang Ming's faction's right to speak is reduced because of Zhou Weishun's matter, it will inevitably lead to the other faction's power to speak, and under the elimination of one and the other, I am afraid that the political arena of Jiangdong Province will lose the original delicate balance.

At worst, Zhou Weishun's small butterfly will cause a large hurricane in Jiangdong politics, and at worst, it will also affect the personal authority of Yang Ming and Bian Weiwei and others.

……

Shi Lei didn't dare to continue thinking about it, he was once again forced to admit that he may be familiar with the way of business, but he is still too immature in officialdom. Even if he came into contact with the prince's party and the great government in that life, he still did not really appreciate the cruelty of political struggle.

One of the most frightening aspects of political warfare is that it is not as omnibus as a business plan, and if you grasp enough elements, you will not collapse even if you fail. However, there is no fixed routine in political struggle, which cannot be imitated or learned, and any step must take into account the possible consequences of dozens of steps before and after, and it is no wonder that some people say that if they want to become an official, when they encounter any matter, the first thing they should think about is not what wealth they can create and what benefits they can bring, but whether they can avoid their own responsibilities in case of failure. The word "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages" has been taken to the extreme in officialdom.

"I think I understand what you mean......" Shi Lei finally raised his head from his contemplation, "But I still have to be sorry to tell you that I won't help you persuade Zhou Weishun, and besides, I don't think he has such a ...... I really don't want to say it to your face...... He's a scumbag who will listen to me. ”

After a pause, Shi Lei said again: "However, I can go and see Zhou Weishun, if you can arrange it." However, I also have a request, the words between me and Zhou Weishun cannot be recorded, and no observers are allowed, not even you. ”

Bian Wei was puzzled: "Since you don't plan to persuade him to take the initiative to confess, then what are you going to see him for?" ”

"He almost killed my father at the scene of the explosion, can't I go and scold him?"

*******************************************************

For Bian Weiwei, what Shi Lei talked to Zhou Weishun about that day has always been a mystery. In the eyes of the rest of the investigation team, Zhou Weishun seemed to have a sudden nervous breakdown, and the whole person fell into a state of stupidity. The investigation team did not know about the interview between Shi Lei and Zhou Weishun, which only Bian Weiwei knew, or Yang Ming, secretary of the provincial party committee, knew. But they had no way of knowing what Shi Lei said to Zhou Weishun, and he would actually make Zhou Weishun look like three souls had gone to two souls.

Fortunately, this kind of stupidity did not affect Zhou Weishun's confession of the case, after Shi Lei left the Runyang Hotel, Zhou Weishun explained all the power and money transactions between himself and Liu Kai over the years, in great detail, so that the investigation team did not have to spend any effort.

It's just a little strange: because of Zhou Weishun's voluntary confession, when the investigation team was about to apply to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Procuratorate for leniency on the fact that Zhou Weishun had surrendered, Zhou Weishun himself flatly refused to do so, putting on an attitude of only asking for death. And many people in the province who are looking forward to the Runyang incident can set off a little storm, obviously can only end up with a disappointed ending, after explaining all the economic problems related to him, Zhou Weishun was silent, and did not say a word again.

Bian Wei was extremely puzzled, and asked Shi Lei several times about the content of his conversation with Zhou Weishun, but Shi Lei simply said, "I just told him some real truths that can't be true", and there was no answer. Bian Weiwei can't hold on to this matter, in fact, Shi Lei has already helped him a lot, no matter whether Zhou Weishun himself is opposed or not, his initiative to explain will still play a very important role. And Zhou Weishun's silence has also greatly preserved the stability of the political situation in Jiangdong Province, and no one has been implicated because of the Zhou Weishun incident, but there are just a few more rumors in the province. These rumors will soon fade away with the passage of time.

After Zhou Weishun explained everything clearly, Zhao Yida was naturally lifted from shuanggui and returned to the position of secretary of the Runyang Municipal Party Committee, but there was a notice of criticism within the party, and the main direction of criticism was still on Zhao Yida's illegal use of secretaries. According to the principle, the term of office of the leading secretary is only three years, and under normal circumstances, the leading secretary is not allowed to adjust with the adjustment of the leadership post. Wang Qingqing has followed Zhao Yida for more than ten years, although this is not a matter of great importance in the local area, under normal circumstances, no one will stare at this kind of thing to talk nonsense. However, due to the collusion between Wang Qingqing, Zhou Weishun and Bibo Construction, the province used Zhao Yida's internal party notice to criticize the decision and made the most "appropriate" handling of the matter. At the same time, he also wrote an article on the internal staff of the provincial party committee, severely criticizing the unhealthy trend of local leaders and secretaries changing their posts, and using the facts of Wang Qingqing to write a lesson of blood and tears, which is always just a formality.

It's just that people who know Zhao Yida can see that although the shuanggui has been lifted, and the criticism of the party is really not a heavy punishment, but after Zhao Yida returned to the municipal party committee, he was obviously much haggard, and his consistent strength was no longer in the past, but like an ordinary cadre who had no ambition and just wanted to retire in the position of secretary of the municipal party committee.

Wang Qingqing, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, also accepted bribes amounting to one million, but fortunately, all the stolen money was handed over, and he was only sentenced to three years in prison with a two-year reprieve. This also means that Wang Qingqing almost escaped prison, but I am afraid that there will never be the same scenery as the secretary of the municipal party committee in the past.

Wang Han just didn't report it, and there was no fact that he was involved in the case, and the provincial party committee would not pursue anything for an old man who was about to retire. In the end, Wang Han just resigned from the post of secretary of the Runyang Municipal Legal Committee in advance, retained the idle post of deputy director of the Municipal People's Congress, and waited for a complete retirement in a few years.

As the party's moth that was excavated in this major accident, Zhou Weishun, the former mayor of Runyang City, was sentenced to 18 years in prison, and this was the result of a lenient sentence after Zhou Weishun took the initiative to confess the facts of the crime. If he resists to the end, I am afraid that the end will be the same as Liu Kai - confiscation of all illegal gains (in fact, it is equivalent to the confiscation of the entire Bibo Building), due to a series of crimes such as bribery of officials, illegal bidding, etc., he was finally sentenced to life imprisonment, basically never have the opportunity to see the sun outside the prison again in this life.

The other people involved in the case were punished differently, and after the province hinted at the instructions that it was not appropriate to over-prosecute, although it did not end hastily, it did not throw more people into prison. Basically, that's the end of it.

As Zhang Tongxun, who has made major meritorious contributions in this incident, he naturally took over the post of secretary of the Municipal Legal Committee in advance, and successfully entered the list of members of the Standing Committee of the Runyang Municipal Party Committee, which can be regarded as truly entering the highest power center of Runyang City.

But what makes the insider a little puzzled is that Shi Weixian, another eye-catching performance in this matter, has not made any adjustments to his job responsibilities in the province, and even up and down seem to be deliberately avoiding the name Shi Weixian, and in several awards, Shi Weixian has not been mentioned, which makes some people feel puzzled.
