At the same time, in Xinleng County, another battle without gunpowder is also starting. [Full text reading]

The commander-in-chief of this battle was Xia Bicheng, director of the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau.

After Xia Bicheng convened a joint meeting of the members of the inspection team of the provincial bureau and the inspection team of the provincial discipline inspection commission at noon yesterday, Xu Fei called Zhang Dongfang, chief of the political and engineering section of the municipal bureau, Guo Yu, chief of the third section of taxation, and Zhanpeng, deputy section chief, to the Xinleng County Local Taxation Bureau in accordance with the predetermined plan and in the name of a meeting in Xinleng.

Since the inspection team of the provincial bureau arrived in Xinleng, through Li Botang's report, Zhang Dongfang, Guo Yu and others have long felt that the provincial bureau suddenly sent an inspection team to verify the tax issue of revitalizing the iron and steel plant, and it must be a bad one. Therefore, these people, who have benefited a lot from the tax reduction and exemption for the revitalization of steel mills in the past two years, have been in a state of anxiety for the past few days. Although Li Botang kept reassuring them, saying that everything was under his control, and the inspection team would not be able to find out any tax fraud. However, they were still suspicious, and for several days, they almost didn't think about tea and food, and their food and drink were wasted.

Especially Zhang Dongfang, when he was the deputy director of Xinleng, he happened to be in charge of the tax administration department in the first two years, and he was also the first person responsible for the approval of tax reduction and exemption. In those two years, he colluded with Li Li, the top leader of the Xinleng County Bureau at that time, to greet the cadres of the First Sub-Bureau and the Tax Administration Section, and asked them not to be too serious when investigating the tax reduction and exemption of the Zhenxing Iron and Steel Company, and to report as soon as the information is complete. For this reason, he received more than 1 million yuan in "benefit fees" from Li Botang.

And Guo Yu, the chief of the third section of the tax administration section of the Municipal Bureau, and Zhanpeng, the deputy section chief, each received two or three hundred thousand bribes.

It is precisely because these three people have been harboring evil intentions in the past few days that when they were taken to a small hotel in Xinleng for interrogation by the people of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, they only fought for two or three rounds, and they all collapsed. Before midnight, the three of them colluded with Li Botang and Li Li to fabricate false tax reduction and exemption materials to defraud the state of taxes, and then accepted huge benefits from the company, and confessed one by one.

Among them, Zhang Dongfang also took the initiative to confess the illegal and criminal facts that during his tenure as deputy director of the Xinleng Land Taxation Bureau, he alone or in conjunction with Li Li accepted bribes of 2 million yuan from other taxpayers.

As Xu Fei expected, among the three people, Zhan Peng, the deputy section chief of the three sections who specifically handled the tax reduction and exemption procedures of the revitalization company and the investigation of tax reduction and exemption of the municipal bureau, when Guo Yu ordered him to destroy the original tax reduction and exemption materials and replace them with a copy of the new preferential certificate for laid-off workers, he was worried that he would be too responsible and that he would increase the punishment if he was investigated and punished in the future. Therefore, he carried Guo Yu behind his back and secretly made a copy of those original materials and copied a copy in his USB flash drive. Therefore, he still has a paper source and an electronic file of the original data in his hand.

During the interrogation, in order to make meritorious contributions, he could not wait to hand over these original materials......

When Zhang Dongfang, Guo Yu, and Zhanpeng were taken away for interrogation by the inspection team of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Li Botang's father and son, who were ignorant of this, were in ecstasy at this time.

Since yesterday afternoon, good news has come one after another: Last night, he received a phone call from Wang Hai, secretary general of the provincial party committee. On the phone, Wang Hai excitedly told him: This afternoon, Lu Zhiyao, secretary of the provincial party committee, suddenly convened a standing committee. At the meeting, he proposed a special discussion on the issue of the Xinleng 5.** case, and tried to exonerate Ye Ming, who was involved in the case. At the same time, Comrade Zhou Jiqing also reiterated that Ye Ming was the key suspect in the 5.16 homicide case, and decisive measures must be taken against him, and he must be detained and arrested in order to successfully solve the major criminal case of Xinleng. At the insistence of Comrade Zhou Jiqing, Lu Zhiyao had no choice but to announce the adjournment of the meeting in advance......

When he said this, Wang Hai smiled a little smugly on the phone and said: "Mr. Li, this standing committee this afternoon is likely to become a watershed: from today onwards, Lu Zhiyao feels the power of our side. Moreover, when he was so confronted by Comrade Jiqing today, his authority was challenged, his dignity was bruised, and in the minds of other Standing Committee members, he would certainly leave an impression of cowardice and lack of assertiveness. From now on, he may slowly give in to us and slowly accept the leadership structure with Governor Qin as the core. When we collapse or squeeze Li Runji and others step by step, Lu Zhiyao will become a loner. Then, the time he spent in Tianjiang Province would not be long. I estimate that his final outcome is likely to obediently go back to the capital, go to the National ** or the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference to serve as an idle deputy, and wait for retirement to enjoy his old age. Hahaha! ”

Li Botang also laughed a few times with him, and said in his tone: "Secretary General Wang, Secretary Zhou is really a man, really bold. No matter what, Lu Zhiyao is also the leader of the provincial party committee, Secretary Zhou dared to reprimand him in person today, and Lu Zhiyao had to announce the suspension of the Standing Committee he proposed, how much courage and boldness does this have! Admire, admire! ”

Wang Hai said: "Mr. Li, Comrade Zhou Jiqing has this courage today because he has Governor Qin, Minister Xie and my comrades-in-arms behind him to support him!" Without our support behind him, if he hits and rushes so hard to confront the secretary of the provincial party committee, then he will suffer sooner or later! You tell me? ”

"That's, that's! One fence with three piles, one hero with three gangs! Or the power of the alliance! ”

And the second good news that Li Botang got was that the members of the Xinleng 5.16 task force who sympathized with Ye Ming had been ordered by Zhou Jiqing to be removed from the task force and returned to their original work units, and they were heard that they would be disciplined. The newly added members of the task force are all cronies of Zhou Jiqing, Yan Lian and others. From then on, the task force could concentrate on dealing with Ye Ming and the backstage and backers behind him in unison.

As for the third piece of good news, it made Li Botang's father and son even more ecstatic: Yan Lian told them that the 5.16 special case team had decided to take criminal detention measures against Ye Ming, and had contacted the Xinleng County People's Procuratorate this afternoon to complete Ye Ming's criminal detention procedures, and planned to transfer Ye Ming to the Xinleng County Detention Center at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the arrest procedures for him were also being handled as soon as possible.
