The short-term training class of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee has finally ended, but what awaits Yi Haitao is a fatal blow.

After the closing ceremony, Lin Guodong, Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee, who attended the ceremony and delivered a speech, interviewed Yi Haitao, and He Tianying, Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, also participated in the interview.

It is extremely rare for the two members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee to personally talk to a vice mayor of a prefecture-level city.

Yi Haitao was both excited and nervous, straightened up and sat on the sofa opposite the two leaders.

The first to open his mouth was He Tianying.

He said: Comrade Haitao, during your study period, the Qingyuan City Commission for Discipline Inspection received a report from the masses that there were quality problems in the Nanling County highway project undertaken by Century Sunshine, and its legal representative, Wei Shijie, and shareholder Li Xiaolan took the initiative to explain the circumstances of offering bribes to state functionaries in the course of being investigated. For this reason, the Qingyuan Municipal Party Committee quickly set up a special case group after consulting the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and preliminarily found out that your former secretary Wang Shaolei, your current secretary Chu Tianshu, and his wife Peng Huiying were all suspected of being among them.

When Yi Haitao heard this, he was trembling with anger, and he couldn't believe his ears.

Ten days, only ten days, such a drastic change has taken place, it is unbelievable.

Yi Haitao tried his best to calm himself down.

Lin Guodong said very seriously: Comrade Haitao, Secretary He and I were entrusted by the provincial party committee to talk to you in the hope that you can correctly understand and correctly deal with the problems you are facing in person, so as not to affect the normal work and the unity of the team, let alone interfere with and hinder the investigation of the special case group. The organization believes in you, and you must also believe in the organization, and we will never let go of any corrupt element, nor will we wronged an outstanding cadre.

Yi Haitao couldn't remember anything clearly, and there were only two words in his mind: conspiracy! Conspiracy!! Conspiracy!!!

Back in Qingyuan, Yi Haitao went directly to Zhu Minwen.

In the face of Yi Haitao's anger, Zhu Minwen showed rare tolerance and helplessness.

He said in a very sympathetic and regretful tone that this was originally just a simple project quality problem, but he didn't expect Wei Shijie and Li Xiaolan to bite together when they were under investigation, and they all dragged Wang Shaolei, Chu Tianshu and Peng Huiying into it. Haitao, I don't believe that they will have problems, so I asked the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to set up a task force, hoping to return their innocence.

Speaking of this, Zhu Minwen sighed heavily and said, unfortunately, they did not stand the test, and actually admitted the fact of accepting money and goods, which made me very passive. I thought they would at least hold out until you returned, but, alas......

Yi Haitao took the case and said, "Secretary, I hope to see them immediately, I want to ask them face to face, who gave you the courage to do this, why do you want to do this?" ”

Zhu Minwen had already been mentally prepared, and he said indifferently: "Comrade Haitao, I understand your feelings very well. However, the matter is still under investigation, and your visit to them now will only interfere with and hinder the smooth progress of the investigation. Besides, the task force had the final investigation results and had to report it to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and at that time, the truth would naturally come out. ”

Yi Haitao said strongly: "What if I have to see it? ”

Zhu Minwen smiled and said, "Then please call Secretary He in person to ask for instructions!" ”

Yi Haitao was stunned, he remembered what Lin Guodong said, don't interfere with and hinder the investigation of the task force, and trust the organization.

Zhu Minwen pulled Yi Haitao to sit down and said, "Haitao, as a big brother, I still want to persuade you a few words, the more difficult it is, the more you must keep a clear head." When reporting the situation to the provincial party committee, the municipal party committee has repeatedly stated that it firmly believes that you are innocent, and you should not make a big mistake because of a small thing. ”

Now the municipal party committee is Zhu Minwen, and Zhu Minwen is the municipal party committee.

This kind of words are like the consolation of an elder and the threat of a strong person.

From the perspective of persuasion, I hope that you Yi Haitao will stay calm, don't be impulsive, and wait for the results of the investigation, maybe this matter has nothing to do with you, and you can still run for mayor.

From the perspective of threats, at this critical and sensitive time, do you Yi Haitao have to see them, are you a thief, want to support them, and encourage them to retract and collude with them?

Yi Haitao stood up again and said: "Secretary, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, I need not only a stable working condition, but also a stable family life, and I ask the comrades of the special case group to investigate and confirm that there is a problem and submit it to the procuratorate for judicial procedures, and release him as soon as possible." ”

Yi Haitao's words seem to be righteous and strict, but his words alone are no longer enough to prevent the reversal of the situation.

The news that Wei Shijie, Chu Tianshu, Peng Huiying and others were taken away by the special case team for investigation spread far and wide.

Naturally, what everyone cares about is not Wei Shijie, the boss of a private company, but Chu Tianshu and Yi Haitao, who are related to him. Especially Yi Haitao, he has been rumored to be a mayoral candidate in the province, just before the ** convened, suddenly the secretary and wife around him were taken away by the task force, thinking about this is exciting enough.

Look at the leading figures in today's officialdom, there are movies on TV every day, there are voices on the radio, there are names in newspapers and periodicals, and there are countless unexplained practical benefits behind them, the scenery is exhausted, and the benefits are also exhausted.

In Qingyuan, the credibility of the government is already poor, in the eyes of the people, the officials no longer have a good thing, and Wang Shaolei and Chu Tianshu are not visitors from outside the world, can they withstand all kinds of temptations? They stayed by Yi Haitao's side every day, Yi Haitao didn't notice anything for him, he didn't control it, he didn't say whether he could clean himself up, at least he didn't notice it.

Yi Haitao cheered up and insisted on going to work normally.

However, when he arrives at the office, he will think of Chu Tianshu, and when he gets home, he will think of Peng Huiying, on the way to home and office, he has to endure all kinds of stares on his back, and the anger and humiliation in his heart make him unable to calm down to plan his work, and even routine meetings and condolences are made to find all kinds of excuses to push and push, and hide and hide.

All kinds of discussions are rampant, and the Spring Festival is coming unexpectedly.

In the time when Chu Tianshu was cold, the task force made a major breakthrough.

Wang Shaolei's wife received Wang Shaolei's inexplicable text message at the station, she returned to Wang Shaolei's home in Qingyuan, and immediately called her in-laws and parents in Kyoto.

Wang Shaolei's father and father-in-law have their own energy in Kyoto, and they found He Tianying through Wang Zhiyuan's matchmaking through mediation for several days.

Under Liang Yuxuan's hint, Wang Shaolei acted as a tainted witness for Peng Huiying's acceptance of money and goods, and on the first night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he was picked up by his wife from the Lotus Guest House and directly boarded the train to the capital north.

Liang Yuxuan came to see Peng Huiying with Wang Shaolei's testimony and told her that Yi Haitao had returned to Qingyuan.

Peng Huiying, who was already in despair, completely collapsed, she was just a weak woman, a professor who grew up in the classroom and in the laboratory, she endured several days and nights of interrogation and torture, she was like a drowning person struggling in the water, Yi Haitao, the most difficult life-saving straw, was also gone, she chose to give up on herself, broke the jar, and according to Liang Yuxuan's prompts, she made a confession that she accepted money and things and then returned them.

After Liang Yuxuan obtained these confessions, he reported to Zhu Minwen and Tang Yifu respectively in the office of the Lotus Guest House, and discussed with Hu Guobin behind closed doors, adopting the method of taking words out of context, only accepting the confession of accepting money and goods, and concealing the fact of returning the money.

However, they never dreamed that there was still the watch that Chu Tianshu had been confiscated on the desk, and their reports and discussions were recorded one by one by the built-in camera in the watch.

After making these major breakthroughs, Liang Yuxuan freed up his hands and concentrated on dealing with Chu Tianshu and Wei Shijie, who needed a complete chain of evidence.

Liang Yuxuan dealt with Chu Tianshu when he was restructured in the instrument factory, and touched the ash of his nose in front of Chu Tianshu, and this time he chose to go straight in.

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Liang Yuxuan entered the room, sat down face-to-face with Chu Tianshu at the table, and asked Fatty Fan to pour a glass of water for Chu Tianshu, and then said bluntly: "Xiao Chu, it's the New Year, everyone is happy, don't waste time." ”

Chu Tianshu held the hot cup in both hands and said, "Director Liang, where am I willing to stay in such a broken place, and I don't want to delay everyone going home for the New Year." ”

Liang Yuxuan said patiently: "Xiao Chu, I said you, you are smart and confused for a while, if you have made things clear earlier, you will go home for the New Year early." ”

Chu Tianshu said with a smile: "I've heard such a sentence, confess leniently, sit in prison, resist strictly, and go home for the New Year." You have to make me admit that I received Wei Shijie's money, doesn't this make me even more unable to go home for the New Year? ”

In a word, he almost didn't crook Liang Yuxuan's nose.

There is a small popular joke in the officialdom, which was summed up by the officials under investigation, saying: confess leniently, sit in prison, resist strictly, and go home for the New Year.

This joke has a dark humor connotation, but it also exposes a strange phenomenon in the current anti-corruption work.

The more corrupt officials who have been investigated and punished, the more they take the initiative to confess, the higher the amount of corruption and bribery will accumulate, and the court will sentence them according to the amount involved in the case, and the longer the sentence will be imposed by the court in the future. If they do not take the initiative to confess and adopt an attitude of non-cooperation and resistance, the procuratorial organs can only prosecute on the basis of what they have at hand, and the court will sentence a smaller amount of money when sentencing, and the sentence will be lighter.
