A week passed in a flash.

The end of the year is getting closer and closer, and Lanqiao City has experienced another heavy snowfall.

Li Yuanlang stood in front of the office window.

There is a vast expanse of whiteness in the distance.

On nearby streets, forklifts were clearing away snow, sanitation workers were busy, and vehicles were traveling at almost a snail's pace.

None of this aroused his interest.

Because Zhang Minqing's explanation materials submitted by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection were on his desk, he fell into deep thinking.

Eighty-eight.``-

What an auspicious number.

But it happened to be the number of cadres above the deputy section level involved in the case in Dading County.

In the entire Datin County, there are only three to four hundred people in total, not counting retirees.

This number can be said to be quite high.

According to Zhang Minqing's account, these 88 people all engaged in bribery.

It's just a matter of how much.

In addition, other people also resorted to bribery in order to seek help from him.

There is one more person to mention here, and that is Zhang Minqing’s wife Shi Jie.

To say that Zhang Minqing embarked on this path, Shi Jie played a big role in promoting it.

She would always happily accept gifts that almost came to her door.

Then a pillow blew over and Zhang Minqing did as he was told.

Once it’s done, it’s easy to say.

But it didn't work out. Shi Jie really didn't want to return the money she had put in her pocket.

Every time, she had to agree after Zhang Minqing repeatedly urged her.

But instead of refunding the full amount, some refunded two-thirds, some half, and some even only gave a quarter.

In short, if you put money into their pockets and ask for it from outside, it will be more difficult than asking the Finance Bureau for money.

According to the materials, the amount involved in Zhang Minqing's case is at least 50 million, which is still a conservative estimate.

The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

Zhang Minqing has been in power in Dading County for eight years. He did not see any good things, but he completely ruined the social atmosphere of Dading County.

Turning around, Li Yuanlang looked at Gao Minghua and said in a deep voice: "The case of Zhang Minqing is thought-provoking. As a leading cadre and county secretary, he could not keep himself clean. Instead, he engaged in corruption and power-for-money transactions, which made the entire Dading County a mess.

, public dissatisfaction boiled."

"For such a long time, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has received reports without interruption. Just because someone above speaks, your Commission for Discipline Inspection has lost its bottom line, lost its principles, turned a deaf ear to a corrupt person, and allowed him to continue to act recklessly."

"Secretary Minghua, you must reflect on Zhang Minqing's matter, and you must reflect deeply on it."

"Yes, Secretary Li's criticism is correct, and I firmly accept it." Gao Minghua said with shame, "To be honest, when it comes to Zhang Minqing, I always hesitate and have too many ideas."

Li Yuanlang didn't want to delay on this topic. Now was not the time to hold anyone accountable.

The conversation changed and he asked the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection's opinion on the handling of the eighty-eight cadres.

"There are two opinions now. One is to investigate and deal with it resolutely and deal with it separately in accordance with relevant regulations."

"Another belief is that dealing with cadres on a large scale can easily cause panic and create instability."

Eighty-eight people accounted for a quarter of the number of cadres in Dading County. Once they take action, it will inevitably affect the normal work operation and the response will not be good.

To this end, Li Yuanlang specially summoned Mayor Fan Jun, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Jing Boxiao, Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Gao Minghua, Director of Organization Hong Guangju, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee Lou Anguo and others to hold a meeting in a small conference room.

Li Yuanlang said straight to the point: "This meeting will focus on two topics. Please discuss and study them."

"The first is the handling of the 88 cadres involved in the case in Dading County, and the second is related to personnel issues."

"First of all, I would like to ask Comrade Minghua to give a detailed explanation on Zhang Minqing's case."

Gao Minghua cleared his throat and recounted the investigation results in detail.

After Jing Boxiao heard this, he sighed with emotion: "This Zhang Minqing has been in power in Dading County for eight years and has caused disasters for eight years. It is difficult to convince the public unless he is eliminated."

Fan Jun expressed his concerns from another aspect.

"I looked at the list of eighty-eight people, and there are about a dozen of them at the full subject level, and there is also a deputy county level who has been relegated to the second line."

"If all are dealt with in accordance with regulations, this will have a huge impact on the credibility of our government and the operation of the entire Datin County. What I mean is, can we handle it as appropriate according to their circumstances?"

Hong Guangju, as the Minister of Organization and responsible for managing cadres, naturally knows that everything Fan Jun said is reasonable.

So he suggested: "I agree with Mayor Fan's opinion. For those cadres who are not deeply involved in the case and the problems are not serious, we should deal with them lightly as appropriate."

"Zhang Minqing has been in a leadership position for a long time and has a lot to say. If the cadres below want to do something, they inevitably have to get his approval and consent. I think this is also a last resort."

"It is not easy for us to train a cadre. Even if the court has to consider the principal and accomplices when sentencing, it is the best choice to classify the cadres involved in the case and deal with them differently in accordance with relevant regulations."

Lou Anguo also nodded, expressing the same attitude.

In fact, this is highly consistent with Li Yuanlang's point of view.

It's just that he can't make decisions alone.

If you say this from someone else's mouth, the effect will be better.

Basically, everyone here has the same opinion on the decision to deal with the 88 cadres.

You can have a meeting later.

As for the second personnel issue, it is very complicated.

There are several personnel candidates for this study.

The first is the additional candidate for the Standing Committee.

Nie Shuanghan asked Li Yuanlang when he met with him not long ago.

This matter cannot be delayed any longer.

Hong Guangju said: "Comrade Tang Jiang from Yuge County and Wu Zhixian from Shangcheng District. I personally think Comrade Tang Jiang is more suitable."

"Tang Jiang's achievements in the two years at Yuge are obvious to all, and I don't need to introduce him further. As for Wu Zhixian, his abilities are all there, but he is slightly lacking compared to Tang Jiang."

Jing Boxiao nodded in agreement, "What Minister Hong said makes sense."

Fan Jun frowned and was about to express his opinion, but for some reason, he suddenly closed his mouth.

As for Gao Ming's transformation into Lou Anguo, he just nodded towards Li Yuanlang.

Next, is the recommendation for the candidate of Dading County Secretary.

The Provincial Party Committee has no plans to transfer from outside, so the Lanqiao Municipal Party Committee can recommend candidates to the Provincial Party Committee, and the Provincial Party Committee will make the final decision.

In a change from the norm, Fan Jun was the first to speak. He said: "The Zhang Minqing case has had a very bad impact on Dading County from top to bottom. We must be cautious when choosing our successor secretary."

"Yu Zhaoqing has been working in Dading for many years. He is familiar with the situation in Dading. It is feasible to nominate him to take over as secretary of the county party committee."

Jing Boxiao hissed, "Yu Zhaoqing does meet the requirements. But if this means that the position of county magistrate is vacant again, doesn't it mean that the provincial committee has to decide on the candidate for county magistrate?"

Hong Guangju said: "The position of county magistrate is vacant. We can study it and submit it to the provincial party committee for assessment and decision. Therefore, Deputy Secretary Jing does not need to worry, this is not a problem."

It is equivalent to saying that Hong Guangju supported Fan Jun's opinion because Zhao Qing took over as secretary of the county party committee.

But Gao Minghua had different ideas.

He said: "Zhang Minqing has had problems in Dading County for a long time. Yu Zhaoqing, as the deputy secretary of the county party committee and the person in charge of the county government, did not report the problems to the municipal party committee in a timely manner, but instead let it go. From this point of view, he lacked responsibility, let alone

Principles. So I think Yu Zhaoqing is not suitable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Jun frowned slightly.

Hong Guangju said with a strange tone: "Secretary Minghua's words... are a bit pretentious. If the responsibility is to be investigated, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will bear the brunt."

"We have received so many reporting materials in eight years, and it is only now that Zhang Minqing has been brought to justice. Doesn't the Discipline Inspection Commission have no responsibility?"

Gao Minghua stood up straight and said seriously: "I have responsibility, and I have already stated it to the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary Li. I can accept any punishment."

From the beginning to the end, Lou Anguo didn't say much. He kept observing Li Yuanlang's reaction.

Hong Guangju said something else, but Li Yuanlang raised his hand to stop him, "We are just discussing candidates today, not a denunciation meeting. Comrades must be clear about it."

Li Yuanlang fiddled with the signature pen in his hand, weighed it back and forth, and said slowly: "There is something wrong with Yu Zhaoqing. At least regarding Zhang Minqing, he made the mistake of not reporting it after he knew it."

After speaking, Li Yuanlang looked around at several people and said slowly: "I have a candidate, and I would like to hear everyone's opinions."

The fever has gone away in the past few days, but my nose is stuffy, I can't sleep at night, and I'm sweating all over my body.

But I still insist on updating, for fear that once I stop updating and slack off, it will be difficult to return to the previous state.

This book is my hard work, I will insist on writing it well and will not finish it in a hurry.

That would be irresponsible to everyone, and also goes against my original intention of creating.
