Chapter Fifty-Seven: Becoming a Young Man

Yang Jiangchao ate and took a hot bath, and Zhao Changfeng arrived.

Yang Jiangchao was shocked when he saw Zhao Changfeng, in his impression, the person who could do such a big thing should be a person over twenty-seven or eighteen years old with certain social experience and activity ability, but he didn't expect Zhao Changfeng to look at most twenty-two or three years old.

"Xiao Zhao, hello!" Yang Jiangchao stretched out his hand and held Zhao Changfeng's hand tightly, "Thank you, thank you!" ”

Zhao Changfeng said with a smile: "What is Director Yang polite? You are Mr. Zhou's lover, and you are not an outsider. ”

Yang Jiangchao said ashamedly: "Xiao Zhao, don't call me any director." I've been dismissed a long time ago, so you might as well call me Lao Yang. ”

Zhao Changfeng smiled and said, "Then I'll call you Brother Yang." ”

"Okay, since Xiao Zhao doesn't dislike my identity, I'll rely on the old man and call you a brother." Yang Jiangchao said.

"Xiao Zhao, I'm really bothering you!" Teacher Zhou said on the side: "But Xiao Zhao, I'm afraid that the next matter will continue to trouble you." Although my Lao Yang has been released on bail, doesn't he have to pass the court when he turns back? What should you do about the next thing? ”

Zhao Changfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Teacher Zhou, let's let Brother Yang talk about his situation first." ”

"Lao Yang!" Teacher Zhou looked at Yang Jiangchao.

Yang Jiangchao asked Zhao Changfeng embarrassedly: "Brother, what do you need to know?" ”

Zhao Changfeng said: "Just tell me what happened, focus on what questions the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate asked you, and how you answered." ”

So Yang Jiangchao spoke.

It turned out that when the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the F County Procuratorate received the investigation of the Yangjiang Chao case in another place, none of them were alarmed at first and quietly came to Shanyang City. When they arrived in Shanyang City, the first thing the people from the Anti-Corruption Bureau did was to go to the major banks in Shanyang City to find out the deposit situation of Yang Jiangchao. Among them, in addition to the 30,000 deposits opened in the name of Yang Jiangchao found in the bank that Zhao Changfeng wrote in the anonymous letter, the 180,000 deposits opened in the name of Yang Jiangchao were also found in a bank not far from Yangjiang Chao's home. After having solid evidence, the Anti-Corruption Bureau took coercive measures against Yang Jiangchao.

In the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Yang Jiangchao only admitted that the 180,000 yuan deposit was his, and he said that he did not know about the 30,000 yuan deposit that had been closed in another bank, and it would definitely not be him. When the anti-corruption bureau showed the account opening information, deposit slip, withdrawal slip and account cancellation information with Yang Jiangchao's signature, Yang Jiangchao shouted, although the handwriting on these documents was six or seven points similar to his handwriting, but Yang Jiangchao could still see at a glance that it was definitely not his signature. He said that someone must have deliberately framed him to make the anti-corruption bureau simple handwriting. Later, the Anti-Corruption Bureau did not mention the 30,000 yuan deposit, but only investigated the 180,000 yuan deposit that had been verified in Yang Jiangchao's name.

Of the 180,000 yuan in deposits, 150,000 yuan is the kickbacks that Yangjiangchao has taken the initiative to ask for from a number of construction companies in the past two years. At that time, Yang Jiangchao asked the construction company in the name of the project quality deposit, and then took it home and deposited it in his own account. Of course, this was just a high-sounding excuse for Yang Jiangchao to take bribes at the time. When he collected the money, he just said in plain words that this was a project quality deposit, and did not issue any procedures to the construction company. Of course, Yangjiangchao will not return these project quality deposits after the project quality acceptance is qualified. Naturally, the construction company is well aware of this.

At this time, facing the interrogation of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Yang Jiangchao remembered this life-saving straw at the beginning. He insisted that this was a guarantee for the quality of the work handed over by the builder, not a bribe he had asked for.

The Anti-Corruption Bureau questioned him if it was a project quality deposit, why didn't the Scenic Area Administration issue an official receipt? Why didn't Yangjiang Chao hand over the money to the Scenic Area Administration for financial custody after receiving the money? Why did some of these construction companies not return the money to the construction company after the project was accepted?

For the first two questions, Yang Jiangchao inferred that he did not understand financial discipline, and believed that it was not a big problem to put the money in the Scenic Area Administration Bureau and in his personal place. In short, it is a constraint on the construction company to ensure the quality of the project. Anyway, since he deposited the money in the bank, he hasn't used a dime, and even the interest has been left in the account in the same place. If the comrades of the Anti-Corruption Bureau do not believe it, they can ask the bank to type out the statements and check them one by one.

Daughter Xiaohui's usual medical expenses are squeezed out of the salary of Yang Jiangchao and his family, and these bribes are all deposited in the bank, and they will not be used until they have saved enough money for heart exchange surgery. Because he hadn't saved enough money yet, he didn't use it at all. To some extent, this can be regarded as a kind of support for his rhetoric.

As for why some construction companies did not return the project quality deposit after the project was accepted, Yang Jiangchao's explanation was that he was too busy and had to be responsible for the construction, development and promotion of scenic spots, and those construction companies did not take the initiative to come to him to return the project quality deposit, so he ignored these small things for the time being.

"Anyway, the money is in the bank account. I will return the construction company to them when they want me. How can this be considered bribery? Yang Jiang Chao eloquently defended himself to the comrades of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Among the 180,000 yuan in deposits, there are more than 30,000 yuan that Yang Jiangchao transferred from the small treasury of the unit. Since Yangjiangchao is responsible for the development and promotion of the scenic spot, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with major domestic travel agencies. Therefore, the Scenic Area Administration allocated a special fund from the small treasury of the unit to Yangjiang Chao to pay the commissions and rebates of major travel agencies. Sometimes there will be a part of the balance of special funds, and Yangjiang Chao has deposited them in his personal account, and he has accumulated more than 30,000 yuan in two years.

For the more than 30,000 yuan, Yang Jiangchao also gritted his teeth and refused to admit that he was corrupt, saying that he was just temporarily depositing the money in his personal account. Because the promotion of the scenic spot needs to deal with all aspects, sometimes there will be a very urgent reception task, if it is too late to withdraw money from the unit, then this part of the money can be temporarily urgent. In short, the money was not deposited in his personal account for corruption, but for the convenience of carrying out promotion work, but because his personal sense of organization was not strong and his financial awareness was weak, he did not ventilate these things to other leaders of the Scenic Area Administration.

Although Zhao Changfeng didn't know much about the law, he was still relieved after listening to Yang Jiangchao's story. Yang Jiangchao is not stupid enough to enter the anti-corruption bureau and explain everything to 1510. He left himself a way back everywhere, and then the rest would be easy to do.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Yang Jiangchao will be useful if he leaves himself a way back. Whether or not to accept his argument depends on how the procuratorate and the courts view this matter. In China, judging whether many acts are illegal or guilty is not determined by the letter of the law, but by the judicial organ that interprets the letter of the law, which is also one of China's characteristics. However, some members of the judiciary often have to refer to things other than the law when making specific judgments.

Now that Yangjiangchao's case is being investigated, prosecuted, and tried in a different place, the first thing is to send a signal to the specific personnel in charge of the Yangjiangchao case in the F County Procuratorate that this case must be handled severely! Otherwise, there is no need for the provincial procuratorate to carry out any reform pilot projects for municipal management cadres to investigate and prosecute in different places. Therefore, Zhao Changfeng judged that if no other factors intervened, relying solely on Yang Jiangchao's own defense, I am afraid that the procuratorial organs would not accept it. Because Yang Jiangchao lacks strong evidence in his hands to support his statement. For example, at the beginning, even if an individual wrote a receipt for the quality deposit of the project to the construction company, it would be fine. Of course, Yang Jiangchao didn't expect things to come to this point. If he had written down any receipts, it would have been a handle for him. But Yang Jiangchao didn't expect that sometimes the handle would also become life-saving evidence. There are pros and cons to everything, and it's not easy to get the best of both worlds.

After Teacher Zhou saw that her husband finished speaking, Zhao Changfeng lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time, and he was a little panicked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Zhao, is the matter very serious?" Will there be anything wrong with our Lao Yang? ”

Zhao Changfeng shook his head slowly and said, "Teacher Zhou, it's hard for me to say anything about this. Although Brother Yang has left himself a way out, these retreats are full of loopholes. It's hard for me to say what the final outcome will be. ”

Yang Jiangchao also had a cold sweat on his forehead, although he could still remain calm in the interrogation room of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, but it was a kind of calm under despair, a desperate struggle under despair. Now that he has come out of the detention center, he sees hope, but his heart is panicking, he is really afraid of being locked up in the detention center again, with those chaotic criminals.

"Brother Zhao, what do you think I should do?" Yang Jiangchao pinned all his hopes on the young man in front of him, who was more than twenty years younger than him.

Zhao Changfeng smiled lightly and said, "Brother Yang, what you have to do at this time is to go home for the New Year with peace of mind." ”

Zhao Changfeng will not give Yang Jiangchao any answer or hint, he wants to be an observer of the case, not a participant in the case. If he taught Yang Jiangchao how to do it, then he was instigating Yang Jiangchao to collude in confessions, and Zhao Changfeng would never take this kind of legal risk.
