"Your dad is slippery, and you kid is ambiguous in his speech." Wang Fang is not the Minister of Public Security, and he spoke in a hot manner: "After listening to it for a long time, I don't understand whether you are for or against. ”

"Uncle Wang, I don't know if you still remember Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan?" Wushan did not answer the rhetorical question.

In late November 1951, the Third Congress of the Communist Party of China in Jidong Province exposed the huge corruption case of Liu Qingshan, former secretary of the Tianjin Prefectural Committee, and Zhang Zishan, secretary of the Jinmen Prefectural Committee.

Liu and Zhang joined the party in 1931 and 1933 respectively, and were veteran cadres who had experienced the severe tests of the agrarian revolution, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the War of Liberation, and had made great contributions to the revolutionary cause.

After the liberation, Liu and Zhang successively served as the secretary of the Jinmen Prefectural Party Committee of Eastern Hebei Province (Zhang Zishan was also a commissioner).

However, they failed to be strict with themselves in their leadership positions, failed to continue to maintain a modest and cautious style of hard work, and soon degenerated.

According to investigation, Liu and Zhang committed five main crimes.

First, they took advantage of their power to embezzle funds for the construction of airports and withheld a total of more than 17.16 billion yuan of public funds such as local food, relief food for cadres' families, and grain supply for migrant workers.

It was an old currency, 10,000 yuan is equivalent to the current renminbi value of 1 yuan, and the following historical facts are all described with the same number.

The two used the money to run the so-called "institutional production" that they secretly controlled.

Second, they colluded with profiteers, speculated, engaged in illegal activities of buying and selling, and colluded with profiteers to resell steel for a huge sum of 4.9 billion yuan, causing a loss of 2.1 billion yuan in state property.

In order to purchase timber from the Northeast, they did not care about the suffering of the victims. 400 million yuan of disaster relief funds were occupied, and people were also sent to pretend to be military officers to buy and sell.

The third is that Liu and Zhang live a corrupt and degenerate life and refuse to repent. They embezzled and squandered more than 378 million yuan from stolen state assets.

Liu Qingshan is also addicted to drugs; Zhang Zishan concealed the evidence of the crime and destroyed more than 300 documents at one time.

Fourth, undermining national policies.

They lured 31 engineers and technicians from state-owned enterprises with high salaries and set up illegal "construction companies" to engage in speculative activities.

Fifth, it exploited migrant workers, exchanged good grain issued by the state for bad grain, and raised the price of food sold to migrant workers, making a profit of 2.2 billion yuan.

February 10, 1952. The Jidong Provincial People's Court held a public trial of Liu and Zhang in Baoding City, and sentenced Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan to death in accordance with the law.

In this regard, Taizu pointed out: "It is precisely because of their high status, great merit and great influence that the two of them have. That's why we have to make up our minds to execute them. Only by executing them will it be possible to save 20, 200, 2,000, 20,000 cadres who have made mistakes in different ways. ”

The wheel of history slowly passed through thirty-five spring and autumn periods, and Liu and Zhang became the villains in the textbook.

And Taizu, in this period. became a taboo. Very little touched.

The top brass is vague about his position, and some radicals are criticizing him.

Taizu ruled in the party for forty-one years starting from the Zunyi Conference, and had a large number of supporters.

The two factions are fighting fiercely below, saying that one side is seven points of merit, and the other side is saying that seven points of work and three points of merit are over.

No one in the capital was willing to comment on Taizu's problem.

Hearing Wushan's question, everyone was silent. After all, it involves the national policy of the early days of the founding of the country.

As one of the leaders after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Taizu has always been an unavoidable hurdle.

"Comrade Wushan." Qiao Shi looked at the young man squarely: "According to what you said, it is both number and history, are you more inclined to sentence the death penalty to embezzlers?" ”

"Actually, that's what I mean." Wang Fang has always been a soldier, and slapped his thigh: "Those corrupt officials can even use the historical dog's head!" ”

Of course, he was inflamed by righteous indignation, and the older generation had a deep hatred for being a traitor.

"Many countries in the West have abolished the death penalty, and that is because of their history." Wu Shan said in a deep voice: "In our country, whether it is the official history or the history of barnyard officials, no one is soft on corruption. ”

He was always reluctant to answer directly, after all, these people, including his father Wu Lixing, were all participants in the formulation of the new criminal law.

Societies are developing, and the participation of the whole population in making or amending laws is impossible, at least for the time being.

It can be said that every word he says at home today must be accurately worded and not affect anyone's judgment.

At the same time, Wushan really did not have any good feelings towards the embezzlers.

In another world, some corrupt officials blatantly say, "If we do something for the people, we should be paid accordingly." ”

"A lot of times, we, the prosecutors, are reluctant to defend these people." Liu Fuzhi said with a wry smile: "But when something happened, I had to find a bright spot for the corrupt officials." ”

Not long after the reform and opening up, people's minds are relatively strong about courtesy, righteousness and honesty, and they are very disgusted with a crime.

As for lawyers, it is still an emerging industry, and there is no serious way to the stage of history.

Traditionally, we call the public procuratorate and the law together, and they each have their own division of labor.

The public security organs are administrative organs, and the courts and procuratorates are judicial organs.

As far as criminal justice procedures are concerned, the investigation departments of the public security organs and the procuratorate conduct investigations of criminal acts in accordance with the authorization and provisions of the law.

At the same time, the procuratorate supervises whether the public security organs have filed a case.

At the conclusion of the investigation, the procuratorate shall make a decision on whether to prosecute or not to prosecute based on the results of the investigation.

In the case of a lawsuit, the court is the adjudicating authority.

Generally speaking, the procuratorate appears in court as the prosecuting authority to support the prosecution. At the same time, the procuratorate supervises the court's adjudication conduct in the course of adjudication.

In fact, it is so absurd that the prosecutor's office has to prosecute the suspects whether they have been sentenced or not, and on the other hand, because there is no one to defend them, they have to send staff to defend them.

"Don't mention those," Ren Jianxin shook his head: "Xiao Wu, this kid directly sent us the file for review, which increased our workload. ”

"Huh?" Wu Shan was a little confused: "Uncle Ren, isn't the right to review the death penalty in the Supreme People's Court?" ”

"It used to be." Ren Jianxin's face always seemed to be full of distress: "With your father's 322 crackdown, we have delegated the power of death penalty review to the High People's Court. ”

Strike hard is a means adopted by the state in the face of the increasing crime rate in the whole society.

During the Strike Hard Period. All old cases, that must be the first time to deal with.

As long as any criminal and civil cases occur during this period, they will be dealt with severely.

"It's a bit of a joke, isn't it?" Wu Shan gasped: "Could it be that because of the increased workload, you won't take it back if you throw it below?" ”

"You know we have a lot of work, huh?" Ren Jianxin rolled his eyes angrily: "How many cases occur every day in the country?" Every death row prisoner has to be reviewed, and our procuratorate probably has no time to do anything else. ”

"Uncle Ren, don't be angry," Wu Shan hurriedly explained: "In order to increase the success rate of solving cases in many places, there are definitely not a few people who are beaten into tricks and careless of human lives. ”

"How is that possible?" Wang Fang frowned: "Our police are all fighting on the front line, and I always feel that they will investigate the right case beautifully." ”

"Under Miki. Even I'll give in. Wu Shan smiled bitterly: "Just now Uncle Ren said that the procuratorate has a lot of work, why not the Public Security Bureau?" ”

"If you lose too much time on one case, another case will come up. They had to speed up reconnaissance. ”

"Comrade brother, what are you all discussing?" Qiao Shi pressed down with both hands: "It seems that we have been discussing the sentencing of embezzlers when we were in the office today." ”

He turned his head to look at the only young man: "Although in your words, I can't hear your specific attitude. But by and large, you tend to keep it. ”

"What's more?" Ren Jianxin's eyes were confused: "He also thinks that we need to make the sentence more reasonable." ”

"Little one." Qiao Shi was yawning: "You can rest assured and boldly say." Get your point straight out. Now I am only on the issue of the death penalty for embezzlers. ”

"Let's put it this way," Wu Shan said, "If you are in a small village, the people in the village are very poor. ”

"Before winter came, the county's civil affairs bureau distributed a batch of relief materials."

"And the village secretary or village chief may use his power to intercept the materials."

"They may be distributed to some ordinary people, or they may be to their own relatives."

"China has always adhered to the principle that the people do not prosecute the officials, and the destructive power of the case is less than a certain degree. We have no way of knowing. ”

"What if people die because they don't get relief supplies? It's really possible. ”

"As the saying goes, a layer of linen covers the wind. Ten layers of linen for the winter. They are thinly dressed and may freeze to death and starve to death. ”

"Are you saying that we have to look at the danger to society?" Qiao Shi's eyes narrowed, and he thought for a moment in his head: "This also makes some sense." ”

"Corruption, try to eradicate it." Wushan didn't have to hesitate anymore: "If there is corruption, there will be corruption, which will bring immeasurable losses to the people." ”

"In other words, are you in favor of the death penalty?" Qiao Shi smiled: "Okay, let's bother the old witch today, and continue the discussion tomorrow." ”

It wasn't until their car was out of sight that Wu Shan asked his father with some confusion: "The four of them are very interesting, why did they come to our house together?" ”

"Maybe it's because they want to comfort me," Wu Lixing also yawned: "It can be regarded as the welcome of the public procuratorate and law system to me, the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection." ”

"Comrade Wu," Wu Shan rarely joked with his father: "Yes, the relationship between colleagues everywhere is so harmonious." ”

"you, stinky boy." Wu Lixing said and walked to the bathroom: "Just stay at home, it's too far to go back to the mountain residence." ”

Walking to the door, he turned his head: "Eh, Xiaoshan, I didn't tell you about Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan, how do you know?" ”

"Dad, am I good at reading?" Wu Shan replied angrily: "What's the matter, I'm still a child in your eyes?" ”

"Isn't it?" Wu Lixing said as he prepared to close the door and go in.

"By the way, Dad," Wu Shan patted the back of his head: "Speaking of these two people, I immediately want to go to Jinmen, even if it is to visit their bad deeds." “”

"What?" Wu Lixing paused: "Are you going to Jinmen?" (To be continued......)
