"The comrades in the reception team found this in the report box. After reading it, they felt that the matter was of great importance, so they sent it to you."

Li Jun nodded without saying a word. This is a common practice used by the central investigation team when they go down to investigate a certain matter.Set up a report box at the location of the investigation team and announce the report phone number of the investigation team to the public. Although this method seems old-fashioned, it is sometimes very effective.There are many major and important cases that found a breakthrough in this way, and then they were solved.

This report letter was densely packed with four pages, and the letter wrote: The central joint investigation team, the prime minister’s speech gave us hope, and the arrival of the central joint investigation team made me believe that the central government’s determination in anti-corruption is firm. Yes, as a veteran cadre who has been educated by the party for many years, I think it is necessary to report to you some inside information about the tofu dregs project. What kind of behind-the-scenes transactions were carried out by the people, from the beginning of the project bidding to the construction, until the final completion acceptance, listed a large number of criminal facts of officials.If these clues are followed, unexpected results may be achieved.

Li Jun read the report letter three times, wrote down the key points of the report letter in his notebook, and then carefully locked the report letter in the safe.

For a whole afternoon, Li Jun didn't leave the office, thinking over and over again the problems listed in this report letter, wondering where to start to open the gap.As an old discipline inspection cadre who has been engaged in discipline inspection for decades, Li Jun keenly feels that the person who wrote the report letter must be someone who can grasp the core secrets, and even participated in certain transactions, otherwise he would not Will understand this matter so clearly.

As for why this person wrote a report letter to the central investigation team, there are two situations. One is that the spoils are not evenly distributed. This person's own interests have been seriously violated, and he made such a move in a fit of anger.Another possibility is that this person is just a small person. Although he has not participated in these transactions, he can still use his identity and convenience to find out some secrets. It seems that this person is also a caring person. The work of the investigation team is still very beneficial.

Who is this person?Li Jun wrote the three words "informant" in his notebook, and drew three big question marks next to the three words. Obviously, the person who wrote the report letter was still afraid, so he chose to remain anonymous. The way, once those moths are caught, this person will show up soon.

Li Jun invited Jin Shunxi, the deputy director of the Central General Office who is in Jiangbei to coordinate, and Qu Zhijiang, the deputy leader of the investigation team and director of the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. It took more than an hour to finally formulate an action plan. On the second day, the joint investigation team was divided into five groups, and the investigation was carried out according to Li Jun's deployment. Outside the busy staff, you can also see a few suspects brought in by the police from the Ministry of Public Security from time to time.

The sudden big action of the investigation team alarmed Chu Xinli, the vice-governor of Jiangbei Province. Chu Xinli called the former governor Liu Gaoren that night.

"Old leader, after three days of silence, the investigation team suddenly started to act today, taking away a few key people. The situation is not good."

"Are the key figures you mentioned related to Sanjiang Construction Group?"

"The old leader is right. One is Zhou Jin, the current general manager of Sanjiang Group, the other is Dian Kuang, the former director of the Construction Department, and the other is Li Shanggao, the former secretary-general of the provincial government."

Liu Gaoren was taken aback. If the investigation team only took away the first two, it would be better to say that they didn't have much core secrets. The key is Li Shanggao, the former secretary-general of the provincial government. He is Liu Gaoren's confidant. He has a clear grasp of all the scandals.

Liu Gaoren is also very aware of the tactics of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Ministry of Public Security. As long as they are targeting people, no one can handle them.The methods used by the interrogators of the cadres of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection are full of tricks, not to mention Li Shanggao, a frail scholar, even some strong men who are in their hands will peel off their skins if they don't die.

"How are your preparations going?"

"I have been making preparations since I came back from the capital, but Pang Shijian and Lu Dianchen were watching me very closely. I had to use other methods to find a few key people. They also expressed their opinions. If the investigation team investigates, they are I won’t talk nonsense. But we have to find a way at the top as soon as possible to put pressure on the investigation team, otherwise, I’m worried that they won’t be able to handle it after a long time.”

Text two thousand 870 seven chapters two-pronged approach

Liu Gaoren didn't speak, but he didn't hang up the phone either, and the conversation between the two came to a standstill.Chu Xinli waited quietly holding the microphone, he knew that Liu Gaoren must have important orders.

"Ahem," 2 minutes later, Liu Gaoren's voice finally came from the phone: "Since this is the case, let's take a two-pronged approach. You will ask Guan Mingyue to surrender tomorrow and ask him to take care of everything. Some say no." Clearly, let him blame Hou Zhixian, the former president of Sanjiang Construction Group. You tell Guan Mingyue that what he did before should have gone to jail long ago. If he is disobedient this time, I will still put him in jail Send it in. If we can take the initiative to take the blame this time, we can still operate it for him, live for three or two years, and then fish him out, and we can live a good second half of his life."

Chu Xinli was taken aback. He already knew that Liu Gaoren was a cruel person, but he did not expect him to be so vicious that even his own brother-in-law would not let him go.

However, this method is really good. Asking Guan Mingyue to surrender to the special case team will not only confuse the special case team's attention, but also allow the special case team to close the case earlier.Presumably, the special task force did not dare to continue the investigation considering that Hou Zhixian, the former president of Sanjiang Construction Group, had already gone abroad to obtain evidence, and Hou Zhixian’s family background was very strong.

There is another advantage of doing this, that is, it can pull that big man into the water, forcing him to speak out. In this way, the special case team has to bear strong pressure on the one hand, and on the other hand, someone has voluntarily pleaded guilty. The case will be closed.

What Liu Gaoren and Chu Xinli didn't expect was that their conversations were all monitored by the task force.Under normal circumstances, without the approval of the central government, the task force has no right to monitor the phone calls of a senior cadre. Doing so is not only illegal, but also explicitly prohibited by the central government.However, this stipulation depends on who it is for. The major case that the prime minister personally caught was authorized by the head of No. [-], allowing the task force to use all means deemed necessary to find out the facts.In this case, the task force will naturally use any method.

Now some corrupt officials think that some things they do are very secretive. In fact, the central government has not made up their minds to investigate them. Once they are determined to investigate, the advanced investigative methods mastered by the Ministry of Public Security and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will easily find out. If you want people not to know unless you do nothing, that's what you're talking about.

The next morning, Guan Mingyue, director of the Jiangbei Provincial Water Conservancy Department, came to the special case team and surrendered, admitting her criminal facts. Compare the problems with the materials you have, so that the case will be more reliable.

What Guan Mingyue didn't expect was that things were not as simple as he imagined. Although Guan Mingyue took over all the responsibilities in the explanation, it seemed that the explanation was thorough on the surface, but in fact there were many key things that he was responsible for. Can't justify itself.For example, the bidding for the tens of billions of levee reinforcement projects is definitely not something that a small department-level cadre like him can handle alone.

In addition, there is another thing that Guan Mingyue can't justify, that is, such a large black box operation, the bribe paid by the contractor will definitely not be only a few million as Guan Mingyue said.

Now there is an open secret in project construction contracting. The construction party must spend at least 40.00% of the project cost to bribe the officials in charge of bidding, otherwise they will not get the project.There are tens of billions of big projects, and there are at least a few hundred million in black income. Where did the money go?Besides, according to the current situation, this multi-billion project has been contracted layer by layer, and finally in the hands of the specific construction party, there is only less than [-]% of the project cost left, and the remaining money is Where did you go?

Facing the aggressive questioning of the discipline inspection cadres, Guan Mingyue's face turned pale, and he really couldn't answer.In this project, he only got less than 1000 million, and the rest was given to those big shots. It can also be said that in this secret operation, Guan Mingyue is just a figure on the bright side, and is used by others to take the blame , he naturally didn't know where all the money went.

At this point, Guan Mingyue had no choice but to use the last tactic, and pushed all the problems to Hou Zhixian, the former president of Sanjiang Construction Group. After further investigation, he did not expect that the development of the matter was not based on his will.

"Comrade Zhijiang, the development of the matter is exactly as we expected." Li Jun greeted Qu Zhijiang with a smile, and handed Guan Mingyue's confession materials: "Guan Mingyue obeyed some people's orders and sent Hou Zhixian It was pushed out."

Qu Zhijiang read the more than ten pages of interrogation materials for more than ten minutes, picked up the teacup on the coffee table, thought about it, and then put it down: "Secretary Li, Hou Zhixian has gone abroad. The investigation team came down to investigate and came to a conclusion at the time, the key now lies in Hou Zhixian if we want to thoroughly investigate this case, but our investigation team alone is not enough to extradite him.”

"Well, I also think about it in the same way. Do you think this is good? Let's start with these little people and find out the peripheral problems, and then ask the Prime Minister to make a decision."

Qu Zhijiang nodded; "Judging from the current situation, we can only do this. I guess the Prime Minister may also be facing tremendous pressure now. It is best to ask the Prime Minister for instructions on this matter. I suggest that you please go ahead." It would be better for Comrade Xi to return to Beijing to give a special report to the Prime Minister."

Qu Zhijiang's estimation was not bad at all. At this time, in the small conference room of Diaoyutai State Guest House No. [-], Mu Guoxing was having a special symposium with more than a dozen old comrades.

Two days ago, when Gao Xu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, called Mu Guoxing, saying that some veteran cadres wanted to have a sit-down talk with the Prime Minister about the work of the government, Mu Guoxing realized that it was finally time to come. arrive.

In fact, Mu Guoxing is not afraid of such a symposium. Clearing up misunderstandings will allow these old comrades to see clearly the faces of certain people.Mu Guoxing also absolutely believed that after this symposium, the prestige of that big man would plummet, and he would no longer be able to cause any disturbances in the future.

When he heard that Gao Xu was about to accompany him to a discussion with these old comrades, Mu Guoxing declined politely. Even so, Gao Xuzheng was still worried, so Wu Hanyu, the first deputy director of the People's Congress, accompanied Mu Guoxing to the meeting .

This is not to say that Gao Xuzheng has any worries about Mu Guoxing personally, but mainly because he is worried that those veteran cadres will say some inappropriate words under the instigation of that big man. The people's congress will preside over the symposium. They will still have scruples.

These veteran cadres are all very high-ranking. Except for two who were former members of the Politburo Standing Committee, the rest are senior deputy state-level leaders. Such a situation is extremely rare. You must know that although these people have retired Go on, but their influence is still there, and their disciples are all over the country. It can also be said that as long as these people unite, they can set off a big political storm in China's political arena.

This situation is also caused by China's unique political system. In Western countries, when an official's term expires, he will engage in other occupations. They have never regarded being an official as a lifetime thing, but China is different. As long as a person enters the official career, as long as he does not make any mistakes, he will continue to be in the position. In terms of seniority, he will climb up level by level. When he climbs to a certain position, he will retire when he reaches age. During the decades-long career path, the political power cultivated is indeed not to be underestimated by anyone.

This is also one of the reasons why the central government has repeatedly advocated that senior cadres must have grassroots work experience. Only by stepping up from the grassroots step by step can they better understand the people's sentiments and establish their own interpersonal circle. As the saying goes, a hero has three Help, anyone who takes a lifelong career as his own responsibility cannot do without the support of like-minded comrades-in-arms.

Text two thousand eight seventy-eight symposia

Wu Hanyu, the first deputy director of the National People's Congress, presided over the symposium. To be honest, Wu Hanyu was still sweating for Mu Guoxing when he saw today's posture.He is very clear that although these old guys have not shown up for a long time, their influence has not diminished. In addition, they are from the perspective of bystanders, and it is easy to see some problems that currently exist. The nature of the discussion, who knows if there will be any unexpected situation.

After Wu Hanyu's simple opening remarks, Mu Guoxing said: "Welcome all old comrades to participate in today's symposium. An old family is like a treasure. Old comrades are the precious wealth of our party. They not only have rich work experience, but also have a strong sense of responsibility." Party and political sensitivity. The work of the government requires your support, and more importantly, your supervision. Only by forming a good democratic atmosphere and consciously placing ourselves under the supervision of the party and the masses can we do a good job.

Speaking of this, Mu Guoxing looked at the faces of these old people with a smile, and then said: "At today's symposium, I not only hope that the old comrades can give advice on the work of the State Council, but also hope that you can help the State Council find jobs. The problems that exist. If the questions you raise are within the scope of my authority, I can answer them on the spot. If they exceed the scope of authority, I will also promptly raise them at the Politburo Standing Committee. In reply, as long as everyone can hold the principle of public interest and put the interests of the party and the people first, I welcome any opinions put forward.”

Mu Guoxing's words set the tone for this symposium, which mainly contained two meanings: first, it is okay to raise opinions, but I hope to mention as much as possible the matters within my scope of authority.Second, comments must be made out of public interest, and the interests of the party and the people should be put first, and other issues should be discussed less.

These old fellows are mature people, how could they fail to understand the meaning of Mu Guoxing's words?For a while, there was a bit of silence in the venue. These old guys looked at each other, and finally focused their attention on the big man.

"Ahem," said a silver-haired, red-faced old man with two coughs: "Prime Minister, since today is a symposium, I have nothing to say. The reform of the political system carried out by the central government was carried out in our generation. The reform of the political system is very necessary and important for the leadership group. I personally support this. However, what I am worried about now is that the ministries and commissions of the State Council have been streamlined by 30.00% , How does the central government plan to resettle this group of people who have been reduced? There are many comrades who have worked diligently for most of their lives, but in the end they have become laid-off cadres. factor of solidarity."

Mu Guoxing recognized it. This red-faced old man was surnamed Zou. He was the youngest deputy prime minister in the leadership of Mr. Mu's generation at that time.When Mu Guoxing was young, he followed the instructions of Mr. Zou to pay New Year's greetings at Mr. Zou's house. He thought that this old man was no longer alive, but he was still quite tough.

At that time, Mr. Zou was also a very powerful figure. He was famous and high-level for his daring to speak the truth. He was nicknamed Zou Dapao by people.Originally, based on his qualifications and ability, he should have had a place in the Central Standing Committee of Mu Congjun's term, but it was because he dared to speak the truth that he offended some people and retired early.After so many years, Mr. Zou still maintains his disposition of daring to tell the truth.

Mu Guoxing said with a smile: "The question raised by Mr. Zou is very important. The central government and the State Council have made full preparations for this. The central government has adopted three measures for this batch of downsized cadres. First, those who are over 55 years old Cadres above the deputy ministerial level can mobilize them to leave early for recuperation, and the central government will ensure that their political and living conditions remain unchanged. Relatively younger cadres can go to the newly established government work supervision and supervision committee of the National People's Congress. With their rich experience , Supervise and inspect the work of the government at the provincial and ministerial levels."

Mu Guoxing also conducted an investigation on this group of people in advance. Deputy ministerial-level cadres under the age of 55 are rare. According to this method, there are not many people. It needs a large number of experienced old comrades.

"Cadres at the department and bureau level over the age of 50 should also be mobilized to retire from leadership positions and serve as inspectors of the supervision and inspection committee. These comrades have rich work experience, are young and vigorous, and have high political awareness. The supervision committee also needs such people. For a few There are many general cadres below the department level, the central government is going to organize them to study, and through competitive recruitment, they will be enriched to various ministries or government posts at the provincial level. They are really not suitable for civil servant work, and they can also go to enterprises. Or start a business by yourself. You must know that these cadres are highly educated and highly intelligent. I believe they can do well in other jobs. The State Council is drafting documents in this regard, and is preparing to introduce policies and financial support."

Mu Guoxing smiled and continued: "I don't know if Mr. Zou and other old comrades are satisfied with my answer? If you have different opinions, please bring them up. The central government will seriously study and resolve them."

Mr. Zou has a straightforward temper. As soon as Mu Guoxing finished speaking, he said: "Since the central government has made sufficient preparations, I have nothing else to say. The Prime Minister is right. A large number of cadres who have retired Among them, there are indeed a group of valuable talents, and if they are not suitable to be officials, let them run economic entities. I think this approach of the central government is very good."

Next, other veteran comrades put forward some opinions on some government work or political system reform issues, and Mu Guoxing patiently answered them one by one. The situation of the symposium is developing in a good direction. Mu Guoxing The rhythm of the meeting has been firmly controlled.His sincere attitude, pragmatic work style, and rigorous thinking made these old comrades admire him very much.

A few people couldn't sit still at this time, and they didn't expect the situation to develop to this extent. Among them, the big man was more worried.His plan was to first raise the issue of state-owned enterprise reform by one person, and then lead it to Jiangbei Province's tofu dregs project, using the reason of stabilizing the cadre team and not causing instability in Jiangbei Province's political system to put pressure on Mu Guoxing.End the investigation of the Jiangbei Levee breach incident by the joint investigation team as soon as possible.Unexpectedly, Zhou Dapao spoke first, disrupting their plans at once.If this situation is allowed to continue, the group of big shots will accomplish nothing at this symposium.

The eyes of the big man met with the eyes of a thin old man. The old man put down the teacup in his hand and raised his hand: "Prime Minister, let me say a few words."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "Old Wei, please advise!"
