Chapter Seventy-Three: Whose Hands Is It to Decide on Life and Death?
Yishan County has horizontal waterways, beautiful scenery, economy based on agriculture and fishery, industry and commerce are not developed, and the ranking of various districts and counties in Qingzhou is relatively low. Among them, there are not only historical and cultural factors, but also the influence of regional resources, but the root of it, after listening to Liu Tianlai's words, Wen Liang believes that there are two main aspects: one is Jiang Wanchao, secretary of the county party committee, this person is the generation that grew up in the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers, has experienced the chaotic political situation, the cruel times, more than enough to do things, lack of pioneering, plus conservative thinking, old-fashioned, always lack passion and courage for the future planning of Yishan County. This kind of person is more than enough to guard the pastoral side, but to sail at the helm and break the waves in a thorn, it is obviously a little bit less knowledgeable and capable.
Second, there are many factions within Yishan County, and the situation is complicated. The relationship between the party committee and the government is the same as that of most local groups, with cooperation in confrontation and compromise in struggle. The county magistrate Deng Xingwen is proficient in power skills, with a cold face and a black heart, and has served in Yishan for three years, not to mention formulating plans and developing the economy, even the more than 200 administrative villages in the following 11 townships and towns have not been completed, and the only achievement is that he has won over a group of Standing Committee members, and he is on a par with Jiang Wanchao. When it comes to leadership and business level, even the old-fashioned Jiang Wanchao is inferior.
With such a social environment, it is conceivable how the Yishan Mineral Water Plant could not go bankrupt? Wen Liang remembered the dissatisfaction and resentment he showed when he saw the factory director Fu Jing last time, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Although it had been three years since Xiaoping's southern tour, the whole country had basically reached a consensus on reform, and the focus of the party's work had gradually shifted. But how to change and how to reform is still confused and helpless for most grassroots officials at present.
This is the price that must be paid to cross the river by feeling the stones!
Liu Tianlai was silent for a long time when he saw Wen Liang, and he didn't dare to say much, so he sat honestly on the side. Wen Liang thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What is Zhao Jianjun's situation now?" ”
Liu Tianlai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Wen Liang to suddenly ask about Zhao Jianjun, and said: "He is still detained in the No. 3 Detention Center, and after the first trial of the death sentence, Zhao Jianjun decided to appeal to the Provincial High Court within the appeal deadline. Don't worry, the appeal is just a formality, and the second instance of the High Court does not hold a trial, only the file is heard, and the person is not tried, I know what to do! ”
Liu Tianlai's eyes flashed with a fierce color, he thought that Wen Liang was worried that Zhao Jianjun's case would be repeated, and he had already decided to send Zhao Jianjun on the road in less than a month. The facts of Zhao Jianjun's crime are clear, the chain of evidence is complete, and it is impossible to change the verdict in the second instance. It's just that the night is long and there are many dreams, that guy is notorious, eat peanuts a day earlier, and everyone can rest assured a day earlier.
Originally, according to normal legal procedures, the time limit for public security investigation was three months and seven days, the time limit for the procuratorate to pass the prosecution and prosecute did not exceed 45 days, and the court policy trial was 45 days. Zhao Jianjun's gang was wiped out by Wen Liang and Liu Tianlai's design, and the special case was dealt with, and it was sentenced in less than two months, which was considered fast.
Wen Liang patted his forehead, fortunately he asked one more question today, otherwise it might be a bad thing. He has been doing too much recently, and he forgot that it was still 95 years old, and it was an era when the grassroots courts could shoot criminals. However, it was only on July 1, 2006 that the Supreme People's Court compelled all high people's courts across the country to hold in-court hearings in all second-instance death penalty cases, and it was not until January 1, 2007 that the right to review the death penalty was formally withdrawn.
In the plan of meekness, Zhao Jianjun must die, but he can't die now.
"You're wrong, he's still going to live!"
Liu Tianlai was stunned again, didn't you confess to Zhao Jianjun before sentencing Zhao Jianjun to death, why did you change the hexagram again? But Wen Yu's face is calm, his eyes are like ink, and he can't see any ups and downs. Liu Tianlai's heart froze, and he felt more and more that the young man in front of him was unfathomable, and asked tentatively: "What do you mean by Wen Shao, .........,
Wen Liang didn't want Liu Tianlai to know too much, and said: "The second trial can be carried out according to the procedure first, but when Zhao Jianjun will be executed needs to be flexibly grasped." Is there anything that can be delayed in this regard? ”。
Liu Tianlai is still confused, why does a little person like Zhao Jianjun spend so much effort? But he didn't have the courage to ask more, and said with a smile: "Naturally, there are many ways, and the average prisoner will stay in the detention center for one to three months before going up the mountain when the verdict is handed down...... Oh, and going up the mountain is a term for the inmates, referring to the transfer to the prison...... On the one hand, this is because the prison needs labor to produce economic benefits, and on the other hand, it has to wait for the prison regulation plan. In the case of Zhao Jianjun, the second instance can be held for a month or two, and when the verdict is handed down, you can also communicate with the court when you will go to the execution ground, and it doesn't matter if you go to the execution ground for a month or two, or even a year or two. There are many death row prisoners who have been detained in the detention center for four or five years and have not been executed, and they may be able to eat guns one day......"
"You are in charge of the detention center, and you will handle these things." Wen Liang clapped his hands and said in a low voice: "Let's lock it up in the detention center first, this person is still a little useful." ”
As for what the specific use is, he didn't say it, and Liu Tianlai naturally wouldn't ask. But the inadvertent coldness on the young man's lips still made Liu Tianlai's heart jump suddenly.
Somehow, he suddenly remembered the words that the sixteen-year-old boy after the capture of Zhao Jianjun on that cold moonlit night in the western suburbs:
Do you really think I've put so much effort into it just to talk about snow? (See Chapter 103 of Volume II for details)
There was silence in the luxurious private room, Wen Yu closed his eyes and didn't know what to think, Liu Tianlai sat on the sofa, his hands were flat, his head was lowered, and his respectful posture was not inferior to Xu Fuyan.
The security secretary pushed the door in and broke the silence in the room, he had already prepared the banquet, please forgive Wen and Liu Tianlai to move. Wen Liang packed up his things, put them in his schoolbag and carried them on his shoulder, just like a simple and pure high school boy, and smiled: "I still have something to go first, so I don't have to drink." Boss An, you entertain Director Liu well, tonight's expenses are mine! ”
The security secretary was not easy to keep, and looked at Liu Tianlai and quipped: "Someone has a treat, Liu Ju, you have to take good care of the business of the shop......
The three of them laughed and went out the door, Wen Liang signaled that the two did not need to send it, and were just about to turn around and go downstairs when footsteps came from the stairwell at the end of the corridor. Looking up, seven or eight drunken people walked down from the corner of the third floor.
These people are well-dressed, and they are not ordinary people at first glance. The first two middle-aged men are laughing in a low voice, the left one has a big belly, the hair on the top of the head is sparse, the forehead is bright and round, the upper half of the ears is slightly protruding, the corners of the ears are chubby, the cheeks are broad, the color is light red, and in terms of physiognomy, it is very rich and noble. The other is of medium stature, with a high nose and a broad mouth, but unfortunately his jaw is pointed and his eyes are narrow and long, although he also has a bit of an official appearance, he has lost his majesty. He deliberately fell half a step behind the man on the left, and his body bent slightly sideways, and the status between the two was clear at a glance.
Wen Yu knew that the people who could come to the big world were either rich or expensive, and he didn't think much about it, and suddenly the man of medium stature shouted: "Boss An, I haven't seen you for a long time, what kind of distinguished guests are you receiving?" ”
If this is not good, is it ridicule or sarcasm, Wen Liang stopped and stood aside, quietly watching the other party walk closer. The security secretary greeted him and said with a smile: "Director Xia, isn't this a joke brother, I can come to the big world to be my honored guest, not to mention that your brother is still a VIP member?" It must be a first-class distinguished guest, I have a few dares to offend my parents, don't you say? As he spoke, he said to the pot-bellied man: "Director Wei, our Qingzhou is a small place, and we can't compare with Guanshan, and the conditions are simpler." There is nothing to entertain, please bear more, bear more! ”…,
Director Xia, Director Wei? Wen Liang immediately understood where the gang in front of him came from. Previously, the Secretary of Security said that Xia Mingxian of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau was going to entertain the director of the Provincial Bureau, and it must be these people in front of him.
Director Wei smiled and waved his hand: "Boss An is modest, you have taste and fun here, I think, compared to Guan Shan, it is not inferior." Especially this one for you...... Lao Xia, what's that called? ”
Xia Mingxian heard Director Wei say this, and it was not easy to continue to trouble the security secretary, and his expression was a little stupid. The security secretary hurriedly said: "VIP, it is a distinguished membership system, you have to pay membership dues, assess your identity, even if you have money, you can't meet the standard." For a customer like Director Xia, I begged for a long time to pull it over,"
"Yes, that's it!" Director Wei made no secret of his admiration: "Boss An is really not simple, he has brains and means, and this time alone will pull away other places by a few grades, and it will be difficult to make a fortune." ”
The security secretary glanced at Wen Liang next to him, and said with a smile: "It's all up to friends to cheer up, especially a big man like Director Wei, we can't invite ......"
Xia Mingxian suddenly interrupted the words of the security secretary, as if he had just seen Liu Tianlai, and said, "Isn't this Director Liu?" I said, Boss An came out of us in a hurry just now, and there was no one again, it turned out that Director Liu was here. Boss An, this is your mistake, I could have said earlier that I would have pulled you and not let you go? As for sneaking around, they ran away? ”
These words were extremely level, and at the same time, they offended Liu Tianlai and the security secretary enough, and even Wen Yu was startled, and he looked sideways at this Director Xia. This person was either kicked in the head by a donkey, or he didn't deal with Liu Tianlai, otherwise he wouldn't be so unethical and embarrassed in person.
However, it is not easy to say that the post and telecommunications bureau is a vertical management unit, and the personnel and financial rights are directly managed by the provincial bureau, and the departments in the city at the same level have always been ignored.
casually changed someone else, who would dare to offend the security secretary and Liu Tianlai at the same time in Qingzhou? That's something that no fool would do!
"Xia Bureau, this can't be blamed on Boss An, I just learned Director Liu's majesty not long ago, buttoning his hat and splashing dirty water, beating and intimidating, and being proficient in business, I can't help but be afraid of our people!"
Wen Liang watched a person turn out from behind the crowd, with a handsome face, a tall figure, and a resentful look flashing in his eyes, and his heart was tired for a while.
Pan Guofei, it seems that the lesson I gave you last time was not deep enough! ……,
