Chapter 1329: A big appetite, too big steps

The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection handles cases of all sizes almost every day. After all, in a province, there are more than a dozen cities and cities under its jurisdiction, hundreds of cadres at the deputy department or above, and many provincial enterprises, countless letters of true or false reporting are busy enough, not to mention some cases reported through abnormal channels.

There are also vicious cases that are forced to be exposed, etc. Basically, cases enter the review process every day, and cases are approved to enter the stage of taking measures. Some cases have been tried and closed.

There are even more cases that have been delayed for a long time. It can be said that the higher the level of officials, the longer it will take, some of which are three months, and some even half a year. Therefore, after Tang Jiashao was under double supervision, he confessed in less than a week. Insiders of the Commission for Discipline Inspection also have a saying, "Dare to act and take responsibility, of course, it is ironic."

There are also people who only admit some of the problems, and who refuse to betray the backstage and behind-the-scenes characters. There are also many people who are in the category of people who are in charge of the discipline inspection commission. They are either hard-working and bear all the problems themselves. Or they have internal stories and have fantasies about dealing with them lightly.

Like Bi Peng, since he came in, he always showed a completely denial attitude, refused to cooperate, and his attitude was very high. When the staff went to interrogate, he kept saying one thing: "Please Comrade Lin Huajian come forward, and the others come, I refuse to answer any questions."

There are many cases in the Discipline Inspection Commission, and the three cases that are eye-catching are Tang Jiashao, Chen Heyang and Bi Peng. Among the three cases, the one that attracts more attention is Tang Jiashao's case.

Although Mr. Tang Jia is the lowest among the three, his identity is the most special, and he will not be the most thorough. After the double supervision, he will be expelled from both sides before he was convicted, which made many people know that Mr. Tang Jia is considered helpless.

Chen Heyang and Bi Peng still retain their party membership.

Xia Xiang sat in Zheng Sheng's office. After Tong Fan poured the tea, he said something special: "Secretary Xia, please drink tea. It is Dahongpao that Secretary Zheng loves to drink the most. He usually doesn't want to entertain others..."

Zheng Sheng laughed and scolded: "You are just talking too much!"

Legend has it that there was a high-ranking official in ancient times. Whoever went to his house to be a guest, and his invitation to drink Dahongpao indicates that this person would be promoted. Zheng Sheng invited him to drink Dahongpao and also used Tong Fan's slander to suggest that he was showing kindness to him in a high-profile manner.

It can be seen from this that the Discipline Inspection Commission’s final conclusion on Tang Jiashao was very important for Zheng Sheng.

Xia Xiang took a sip of tea and praised: "It's really good tea, thank you Secretary Zheng for giving up the love."

Zheng Sheng waved his hand with a smile: "Get friends with tea and give good tea to friends so that good tea will not be insulted."

Xia Xiang nodded, as if he had inherited Zheng Sheng's affection, but no longer talked about the tea ceremony. He talked about Tang Jiashao: "The Discipline Inspection Commission confirmed that when Tang Jiashao was the general manager of Hunan Province Road Bridge, he abused his power, embezzled and accepted bribes, and the amount of bribes was particularly huge, the circumstances were particularly bad, the consequences were particularly serious, the evidence was conclusive and the facts were clear, and it was planned to be transferred to judicial authorities for further trial."

When Xia Xiang reported, Zheng Sheng nodded frequently while drinking tea to show that he was listening carefully. However, when he heard the latter, he no longer nodded, but looked slightly surprised. When Xia Xiang finished speaking, his face became serious.

"Xiang Provincial Road Bridge is a construction unit. During the process of undertaking the project, there are inevitably some means of not seeing light... The Discipline Inspection Commission did not further verify it?"

Zheng Sheng’s question exposed his true thoughts, and Xia Xiang smiled secretly.

Zheng Sheng served as the provincial party secretary for less than a year and has not significantly adjusted the personnel affairs of the municipalities below. Each provincial party secretary has a personnel adjustment, whether it is a big or small one. Whether it is a big fan or silent, he must hold the power of personnel in his hands to establish authority.

Zheng Sheng had a certain foundation in Hunan Province, but because the opposition was too strong, in fact, without a large-scale personnel adjustment, he could not confirm the prestige of the top leader in Hunan Province.

The secretary must seize two major powers, one is personnel and the other is financial power. If he takes both personnel and financial power in his hands, no matter how the governor and deputy secretary make trouble, he will be in vain. But the problem now is that financial power is in Zheng Sheng's hands. Although the personnel power has not been lost, it has not reached the level of Zheng Sheng's satisfaction.

Indeed, Zheng Sheng’s suggestion was that Tang Jiashou not only accepted bribes, but also must have given more bribes, because in the operation of the project, he must give benefits to the supervisor. In fact, Tang Jiashou also admitted that behind every major project, there are major bribery acts, whether it is Huaiyang Bridge or Chendong Bridge, the amount of bribery is more than 10 million!

What's more, Mr. Tang Jia also confessed to the fact that he respected a princely party in the capital, and explained it very in detail. The time, place, amount and even the secret recording of him were all revealed. His initiative and enthusiasm made Li Congdong confused. He didn't understand why Mr. Tang Jia was so stupid and didn't leave any way out?

Xia Xiang guessed Tang Jiashou’s thoughts. Tang Jiashou knew his own weight and knew that he would definitely be a victim after being arrested. So he simply did everything and said everything, which could stimulate some people to be willing to save him. Even if he made a profit, he would not be able to stimulate him. Anyway, he would not lose anyway. He would die, so what would he be afraid of?

But Xia Xiang, except for the fact that Tang Jiashao accepted bribes, suppressed all the problems of his bribery.

Zheng Sheng's appetite is too big. Xia wants to hand over the hilt of the sword completely into Zheng Sheng's hands. He wants to take the initiative!

Tang Jiashao is a double-edged sword. The fact of accepting bribes can leverage the internal interests of the Hunan Provincial Highway Bridge, because most of the people who bribe Tang Jiashao are inside the Hunan Provincial Highway Bridge - the deputy generals and branch managers, can allow Zheng Sheng to make full use of this and catch all the high-rise buildings of the Hunan Provincial Highway Bridge in one place, and have a major change of blood!

The fact that Tang Jiashao bribed can trigger an earthquake in the officialdom of several cities in Hunan Province. Not to mention the distance, Huaiyang City and Chendong City alone involved more than a dozen officials above the deputy office, including the secretary of the municipal party committee to the deputy mayor and the director of the Urban Construction Bureau. It is no exaggeration to say that only Tang Jiashao's confession and evidence provided can make a major earthquake in the officialdom of Huaiyang and Chendong cities.

But Xia wanted to hand over all the cards to Zheng Sheng, so in this way, he completely lost the initiative and became the power that Zheng Sheng could call at any time, rather than being able to decide independently when to detonate.

It is better to wave the hand of fate.

Zheng Sheng's mood is understandable. Xia Xiang doesn't want to punish corrupt officials, but it's not now. Moreover, Xia Xiang also believes that Zheng Sheng now wants to take down the Hunan Provincial Road Bridge in one fell swoop, and also wants to take the opportunity to take the surgery on Huaiyang and Chendong cities, and make a big change of blood, which is a bit too hasty.

The municipal party secretaries of Huaiyang and Chendong are both on the same line as Ye Tiannan. The mayor is promoted by Executive Vice Governor Hu Ding. If the two cities can be won, it is equivalent to Zheng Sheng fighting a beautiful sniper battle, which will definitely increase his prestige in the cities below.

Xia Xiang didn't think so, because even if he and Zheng Sheng completely joined forces at this stage, they might not be able to gain an overwhelming advantage, and defeating each one is the best strategy. Of course, the most important point is that he does not trust Zheng Sheng very much now, so he will not hand over Tang Jiashao's hilt to others. What he is afraid of is that someone will cut him with a backhand at the critical moment!

"After investigation, there were indeed some bribery in the specific operation of the Hunan Provincial Highway and Bridge undertaking project, but the evidence is not very conclusive and you cannot easily draw conclusions..." Xia Xiang did not say anything, leaving a gap. "At this stage, the problems inside the Hunan Provincial Highway and Bridge are more urgent."

Xia wanted to believe his hint, and Zheng Sheng could understand it.

Zheng Sheng understood it, but did not change his mind: "Comrade Xia Xiang, the provincial party committee's consistent position is to make the case of Hunan Provincial Road Bridge into a major case. No matter who is involved, it must be investigated to the end and never tolerated it. The Discipline Inspection Commission should be consistent with the provincial party committee's position."

Xia thought about what Zheng Sheng meant, but he still wanted to take the opportunity to take down the Hunan Provincial Road Bridge, Huaiyang and Chendong cities. He had a big appetite and had too big steps. He didn't want to gamble with Zheng Sheng because he lost the bet. Zheng Sheng was the secretary of the provincial party committee and would have people to protect him. He was the secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission. Under the intensive firepower, he would definitely be pushed to the front as a shield.

"The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will definitely maintain a high degree of consistency with the Provincial Party Committee." Xia Xiang did not respond actively to Zheng Sheng, but just said a cliché politely.

Two days later, the case of Tang Jiashao was officially transferred to the judicial authorities. Subsequently, the procuratorate formally prosecuted Tang Jiashao for two charges of abuse of power and embezzlement and bribery.

After the news came out, Fu Xianfeng pondered for a moment in the office and made a phone call to the Beijing side with a expressionless face.

After hearing this, Ye Tiannan nodded first, then shook his head, with an elusive expression on his face, and also called the capital.

The most intriguing thing is Yang Hengyi. After hearing the two charges of prosecuting Tang Jiashao, he didn't believe it at first. He called the procuratorate to verify it himself. After receiving the exact answer, he said to himself: "What medicine is sold in Xia Xiang's gourd?"

Xia Xiang's position seems to be becoming more and more hidden and elusive. As Tang Jiashao was prosecuted by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Xiangjiang Municipal Public Security Bureau also filed a public prosecution with the procuratorate, with the charges of attempted rape and intentional injury. Many people have seen the situation clearly, and Tang Jiashao is afraid that he will die.

Three days later, just as Zheng Sheng was about to hold another secretary's office meeting to discuss the final handling opinions on the Hunan Provincial Road and Bridge, three major events occurred at the same time, completely disrupting the situation in the entire Hunan Province, and also disrupting Zheng Sheng's deployment and Xia Xiang's plan.

First, the State Council pointed out at a national economic conference that while localities vigorously develop economic construction, they should also increase their efforts to fight corruption, but they should pay attention to working methods. Anti-corruption cannot affect the center of economic suggestions.
