The arrest of Mao Xubin suddenly brought about a change in the Yongcheng smuggling case.

Of course, Mao Xubin was originally arrested on suspicion of indecent assault/rape, and because he was caught, he was almost speechless, but he knew very well in his heart that someone deliberately used Liu Ting as bait to trap himself!

The ultimate goal is nothing more than to trap yourself and then find a breakthrough in the smuggling case!

As the so-called color word has a knife on his head, no matter how much unwillingness and anger he has in his heart, it can't prevent the cracking of the smuggling case from gradually ushering in the dawn.

Because the police detained Mao Xubin and did not inform the outside world of the reason, many smuggling snakeheads thought that the task force was about to destroy the smuggling group.

The first breakthrough is the little snake head Liu Bing, originally he was still holding a fluke mentality, as long as he could drag the case down, he still had a chance to turn over, but when he learned that Mao Xubin was also arrested, he immediately felt like ashes, and was coerced and lured by Jia Dalu and others.

In this way, Mao Xubin's crime can be regarded as confirmed, and to deal with this kind of silver gun wax head, the task force effortlessly poked out Mao Dayong, deputy director of Yongcheng Customs, from him, who is suspected of abusing his power, covering up smuggling, ventilating and other major crimes, and is almost a veritable big leader of the smuggling group!

Due to the involvement of customs corruption, after the task force consulted Ning Lizhong, it directly reported the case to the General Administration of Customs, and after receiving the instructions, the director of Mao was immediately investigated under shuanggui!

The core personnel of the smuggling group were basically pulled up, leaving only Xiang Huaizhang, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, still resisting, facing the interrogation of Director He, he hissed fiercely: "You are framing me, Ji Yi will definitely uphold justice for me!" ”

He does still have the confidence to insist, after all, he has not had direct contact with the smuggling gang, but through Liu Zhida as a chess piece, he gave and supported a series of preferential policies for Zhida Commerce, and indirectly escorted the smuggling activities.

Therefore, no matter how the discipline inspectors interrogated, he gritted his teeth, and at the same time looked forward to Ji Mingtang fighting for a glimmer of life for him.

Dealing with these officials who violated discipline, Director He can be said to be at ease, slowly consuming him, grinding his nerves, time passed day by day, as Director Mao's father and son and others have confessed to the law, and there is no new news from the provincial party committee, so that Xiang Huaizhang gradually died.

As the so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, Chang Shuxin, who had been careful before, suddenly jumped out and submitted several materials to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection about Xiang Huaizhang's violation of law and discipline.

Who would have thought that this Maitreya Buddha, who has always been smiling and welcoming, would be so cold and ruthless!

Moreover, he openly put Huaizhang to death, which is tantamount to a vote, indicating that he has completely surrendered to Ning Lizhong's banner.

"It's okay if you don't admit it, anyway, the punishment for several crimes is enough for you to sit through the prison."

Director He patted the pile of materials pointing to Xiang Huaizhang, and said coldly: "As well as your illegal acts during your tenure in the provincial department, we will continue to investigate and see who else can protect you this time!" ”

Xiang Huaizhang fell into an ice cave, and the whole person fell away at once, as if he had been pulled out of his muscles, his body became loose and staggering, and he knew that no matter what, he was already a dead end!

In order to challenge the localist faction led by Ji Mingtang and establish his authority in Dongjiang Province, Ning Lizhong would never let him go!

At the same time that these people suffered a catastrophe, Liu Zhida, who was originally listed as the number one suspect, was unharmed.

Because he was found to have no conclusive connection with smuggling, he was quickly pardoned, but the death penalty could be avoided, and the living crime could not be escaped, because his company's flawed operating mechanism created favorable conditions for smuggling, although it was an unintentional mistake, but he was still severely fined by the municipal party committee, and even the qualification for exemption from customs inspection was revoked after all his hard work.

At the same time, because he had paid bribes to Xiang Huaizhang, the prosecutors will also file a public prosecution in the court for this matter.

But no matter what, his ending is already the best.

The dismissal of all the core personnel of the smuggling syndicate caused the work of the special case group to immediately push forward at full speed, and to wipe out all other small snakeheads and officials in the interest network.

There is no doubt that this sudden collision allowed Ning Lizhong to achieve fruitful results, taking the opportunity of an inspection to completely control Yongcheng, an important economic city on the southeast coast, in his hands, and occupied an overwhelming advantage in the contest with Ji Mingtang and other local factions, and his prestige in Dongjiang Province was in full swing for a while.

It can be foreseen that after the end of this inspection, the reformers headed by Ning Lizhong will focus on rectifying the foreign trade market on a large scale throughout the province in view of this smuggling case, and take this as the basis to carry out deepening and comprehensive reforms, and the relevant policies formulated with this goal will be brewed more smoothly.

As for Chen Mingyuan, in addition to being trusted by Ning Lizhong, he also gained an unexpected benefit.

After the fall of Commissioner Mao, the position of the deputy director of Yongcheng Customs was vacant, because the customs is a vertical management, the right to appoint personnel is mainly in the General Administration of Customs, but as the secretary of the provincial party committee, Ning Lizhong still has a lot of suggestion power.

When many people thought that Ning Lizhong would definitely install his cronies, no one expected that he would recommend Xia Sihai, the director of Dongpu Customs in Zhonghai City, and the son-in-law of Old Man Chen of Zhonghai!

This is an unbelievable result, after all, the political factions behind the Zhonghai Chen family and Ning Lizhong have different positions, and they are in the stage of changing the old and new regimes, but Ning Lizhong has given up such an important customs position, is it possible that the two factions have reached a settlement or deal?

Only Chen Mingyuan understands that this should be regarded as a win-win cooperation.

The Chen family is now in a critical period of rise, and the ascension of any core member will play an immeasurable role.

If Xia Sihai can gain a firm foothold in Yongcheng, not only will he be prosperous in official fortune, but he will also reap rich benefits in Yongcheng and ocean trade.

But Ning Lizhong will not have any losses, after all, Yongcheng Customs has experienced this turmoil, and urgently needs a stable transition period to insert Xia Sihai in the past, and with the echo of Chang Shuxin and Wang Lei, at least it can ensure that there will be no chaos in a short period of time.

When he knocked on the door and walked into the room, Chen Mingyuan happened to see Ning Lizhong sitting on the sofa, looking at the open ink and bamboo landscape paintings on the coffee table, his eyes were a little distracted, so he reminded softly: "Secretary Ning, the car is already waiting downstairs......

Ning Lizhong nodded slightly, but did not get up, and continued to stare at the ink bamboo painting.

Chen Mingyuan knew that he remembered Qiao Lao's regret again, and comforted: "Secretary Ning, the deceased is gone, don't be too sentimental." ”

Ning Lizhong shook his head and said: "It's not sentimental, it's just a little touching." ”

Chen Mingyuan hesitated and said, "Old Qiao, in fact, I still left a last word......

"Is it for me to be an upright official?"

Ning Lizhong chuckled, and said with emotion: "This sentence, before Qiao Lao told the old man to return to his hometown, he once told me, over the years, every time I feel haggard, but when I think of this sentence, it is like being poured a basin of cold water, and I dare not have the slightest slack." ”

"Actually, the matter between me and Qiao Lao is not something that can be said clearly in a few words, I can only say that in that chaotic situation, that is the only choice I can make, and I can't advance and retreat with him, although it makes me feel guilty, but to be honest, I have a clear conscience."

Chen Mingyuan was stunned.

Ning Lizhong smiled slightly, and said: "Having said that, the reason why I chose you to be the secretary in the first place, the most important thing for me is that when Guan Congyun was in trouble, you could never give up and help him turn the tide with one hand. ”

"Of course, in terms of emotional intelligence and strategy, you are far beyond your peers, although you are not as cautious and tactful as Wang Lei, but you are smart, brave and strategic, in all fairness, it will help me even more, just like this case, you should be credited!"

Chen Mingyuan said with a smile: "In fact, they are all clever, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance." ”

"These are naturally difficult to get into the lobby, if it weren't for the situation, I wouldn't let you do it secretly."

Ning Lizhong said: "But as the saying goes, despicable people, stand on our standpoint, you are doing the right thing, but I still have to wake you up, in this world, there is never a shortage of smart people, and it is not necessarily that the president of our country and the president of the United States are the smartest people in the world." ”

"You have great potential, as long as you maintain the current momentum, you are bound to make a great career in the future, but today, I hope you understand a truth, although officialdom has its unique rules, but there is an inviolable rule is the big right and wrong, if you want to become the controller of the highest peak, it is far from enough to act on some officialdom rules, big strategy, small strategy, blindly use small wisdom to adapt to the environment may help you go higher, the road is smoother, but there is no heart that embraces the world, even if you stand at the highest peak, Eventually, you'll fall hard. ”

"I understand."

Chen Mingyuan solemnly said that through this grassroots inspection, his ambition to pursue power has not been imperceptibly changed.

"It's not too early, let's go back, there are still many things waiting for us to do."

Ning Lizhong packed up the picture scroll, got up and walked to Chen Mingyuan's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Since you have embarked on this road, your mind and vision must be enlarged and farther." ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled and nodded.
