This 30 yuan, belonging to more than 70 families, will likely be mostly deposited in banks to earn interest. But how much interest can this 30 yuan generate in a year?
"Tongwei, you must always remember one thing when you are in a high position: you must have compassion. The power you wield can have a huge impact on countless ordinary people with just a flick of your wrist."
Qi Tongwei has a deep understanding of this point. If he didn't have a powerful uncle, he might already be working in a rural judicial office.
"Therefore, governing a large country is like cooking a small fish. No matter what you do, you can't rush it. You have to eat one meal at a time and walk one step at a time."
"I understand, Secretary."
There's a classic saying: "If your grandfather makes a mistake, my grandfather will have to beg for food."
"Help me contact Chief Prosecutor Wu of the Provincial Procuratorate; I need to use their anti-corruption bureau."
The Handong Provincial Procuratorate established an Anti-Corruption and Bribery Bureau in 90, and this year it has successively established four prefecture-level anti-corruption bureaus in Jingzhou, Lüzhou, Lincheng, and Yantai.
In this day and age, a municipal-level anti-corruption bureau is equivalent to a section-level unit. This is because the Supreme People's Procuratorate has a corruption and bribery procuratorate, and the General Anti-Corruption Bureau will not be officially established until next year.
The reason why Secretary Gong is now contacting the Provincial Procuratorate and mobilizing its Anti-Corruption Bureau is self-evident: he wants to investigate thoroughly.
Qi Tongwei strictly followed the definition of a qualified secretary: never questioning why his superiors assigned tasks, but simply carrying them out resolutely.
After making the contact, Qi Tongwei turned around and went to Secretary Gong.
"Boss, Prosecutor Wu said he would immediately send Qin Siyuan, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate, to Lincheng. However, Prosecutor Wu also mentioned something else on the phone, which he asked me to forward to you."
"what's up?"
"The executive deputy chief prosecutor of Lincheng City Procuratorate can be trusted."
Secretary Gong stubbed out his cigarette and nodded slightly.
"Since Comrade Shuqi has said so, it means that this executive deputy chief prosecutor can indeed be trusted. What is his name?"
"Ji Changming."
"Tongwei, could you contact Comrade Ji Changming for me later and see if we can get any information from him?"
"Yes, boss."
Qi Tongwei did not ask Secretary Gong about his relationship with Provincial Procurator-General Wu Shuqi.
Asking Secretary Gong about this is foolish; you could simply ask Sun Liancheng when you have some free time.
However, Qi Tongwei could roughly guess that Secretary Gong had previously served as the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee of Handong, and that this Chief Prosecutor Wu must have been promoted by Secretary Gong at that time.
As for the specifics, you can always ask Brother Sun!
Sun Liancheng is practically becoming Qi Tongwei's Doraemon.
When in doubt, consult Liancheng.
As for Ji Changming, since Secretary Gong has already made a decision, Qi Tongwei will naturally carry it out.
Then Qi Tongwei said.
"Boss, do you think I should wait for Director Qin from the Anti-Corruption Bureau to arrive, and then we can go find Ji Changming together?"
Secretary Gong thought for a moment, then nodded.
Chapter 156 Secretary Gong's Instructions
Qin Siyuan, as the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, is at the level of a full-fledged division chief, the same level as Ji Changming, the executive deputy procurator general of the Tonglin City Procuratorate.
After arriving in Lincheng, Qin Siyuan went directly to the Lincheng Municipal Party School Guesthouse.
At the guesthouse, Qi Tongwei met Qin Siyuan.
"Director Qin, I am Qi Tongwei from the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee."
Qi Tongwei extended his hand to Qin Siyuan, who smiled upon seeing it.
He took the briefcase with his left hand, and then extended his right hand in the same way.
"Secretary Qi, I've long admired your name. You're quite famous in Handong!"
"I'm sorry to have made such a fool of myself, Director Qin."
Qin Siyuan shook his head and continued.
"Everyone says that Secretary Gong of the Provincial Party Committee has taken a liking to a young talent, and now it seems that the rumors are indeed true."
Qi Tongwei had excellent physical attributes, and being around Secretary Gong gave him an even stronger sense of righteousness.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe Qin Siyuan as a young talent.
Not to mention that Qi Tongwei was a master's student at Handong University. Back in 94, he would have been a top student no matter where he went.
"Director Qin, the Party Secretary is already waiting for you. He has some things to tell you."
"Let's go then! Don't keep Secretary Gong waiting."
Qi Tongwei nodded slightly, then led Qin Siyuan up to the second floor of the guesthouse. When they arrived at Secretary Gong's door, Qi Tongwei gently knocked.
After pushing the door open, Qi Tongwei said.
"Secretary, Director Qin from the Provincial Procuratorate has arrived."
After he finished speaking, Qi Tongwei stepped aside, and Qin Siyuan appeared in front of Secretary Gong.
Secretary Gong put down the newspaper in his hand, a smile on his face.
"Little Qin is here?"
"Secretary Gong."
"Come, sit down."
Qin Siyuan sat on the sofa to the left of Secretary Gong. Qi Tongwei poured Qin Siyuan a cup of tea and refilled Secretary Gong's cup with water before leaving the room.
At this moment, Secretary Gong spoke up.
"Tongwei, you stay in the room. We need you to handle the rest!"
Qi Tongwei stood next to Secretary Gong, and Qin Siyuan could personally sense that Secretary Gong valued this Secretary Qi very much.
In the official circles of Handong, there was a rumor about Qi Tongwei: that Qi Tongwei's family had a powerful background, and that Secretary Gong's selection of Qi Tongwei as his secretary implied a significant political deal.
However, judging from Qin Siyuan's current situation, the rumors are not entirely true.
It's certain that Qi Tongwei has a powerful family background, but that doesn't necessarily mean there were any political deals involved. At the very least, Secretary Gong himself highly regards Qi Tongwei, and it's not just a case of getting in through connections.
Just as Qin Siyuan was lost in thought, Secretary Gong's voice came to his ears, pulling him back to reality.
"Xiao Qin! You came to Lincheng, and Comrade Shuqi explained everything to you, right?"
"Yes, when I was in Jingzhou, Prosecutor Wu had already told me about it."
"Hmm!" Secretary Gong nodded, and then continued.
“This time, I hope you and Tongwei will work together to investigate this matter thoroughly and give an explanation to the miners who died in the Xujiayao coal mine collapse.”
"In addition, Comrade Ji Changming, the executive deputy chief prosecutor of Lincheng City, will be acting with you if nothing unexpected happens."
Upon hearing this, Qin Siyuan smiled, which piqued Secretary Gong's curiosity.
Why are you laughing like that all of a sudden?
"Secretary Gong, to be honest, Ji Changming was actually my classmate in the Department of Political Science and Law at Wuhan University."
"Oh?" Secretary Gong's face showed a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected there to be such a thing involved.
However, upon further reflection, Secretary Gong understood why Wu Shuqi had recommended Ji Changming; there was a hidden reason behind it.
"Hello, classmate! Tongwei is also from the Department of Political Science and Law at your Wuhan University. In fact, he's your junior. This time, the three musketeers of the Department of Political Science and Law at Wuhan University are working together to investigate thoroughly and get to the bottom of this."
"However, while we are investigating the case, we must not make a big fuss about it and be mindful of the political implications."
"I see."
After giving Qin Siyuan his instructions, Secretary Gong turned to Qi Tongwei and said...
"Tongwei, this time you will represent me, together with Comrade Siyuan and Comrade Changming, to thoroughly investigate the Xujiayao mine disaster."
"If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can talk to me anytime. As long as you don't violate the principles of the Party, I will back you up."
Qi Tongwei nodded slightly.
Qin Siyuan was slightly surprised when he saw this scene.
This is no longer just a superior-subordinate relationship; Secretary Gong clearly treats Qi Tongwei like a nephew.
What kind of background does the Qi family have? That Secretary Gong would treat Qi Tongwei as his own nephew?
However, now is not the time to think about this. For Qin Siyuan, completing the mission is the most important thing.
After giving his instructions to the two, Secretary Gong waved his hand.
"Alright, you two go find Ji Changming! I need to rest for a bit."
Seeing that Secretary Gong was asking them to leave, Qi Tongwei and Qin Siyuan naturally left the room.
After leaving the room, Qin Siyuan said to Qi Tongwei.
“Come on, I’ll take you to Changming’s house. I reckon Changming should have some evidence, otherwise Prosecutor Wu wouldn’t have said that.”
"Senior, I'm counting on you two for everything. Please help me make a good impression on Secretary Gong."
Qi Tongwei's style of conduct and work gives people a very comfortable feeling.
The relationship between senior and junior students can sometimes become very close after they leave school.
The two left the municipal party school guesthouse, hailed a taxi on the roadside, and went directly to Ji Changming's home.
As the executive deputy chief prosecutor of Lincheng City Procuratorate, Ji Changming lived in the same residential area as the procuratorate. The taxi driver knew the area well, and the two quickly arrived at the entrance of the residential area.
After speaking to the security guard, Qin Siyuan led the two to Ji Changming's house.
Qin Siyuan knocked on the door, and soon a man in his thirties or forties opened it.
This person looks like a kind old man, with a smile on his face, but when he smiles, he gives people the feeling of a smiling tiger.
It was Ji Changming, the executive deputy chief prosecutor of the Lincheng City Procuratorate.
"Old Ji, what are you doing? Why are you taking so long?"
Ji Changming said with a smile.
"I knew you were coming today, so I went to the market to buy groceries and cooked a meal to treat you."
"Great! You don't cook often! I'm in for a treat today."
"Let me introduce you. This is Secretary Qi Tongwei, the secretary of Secretary Gong of the Provincial Party Committee. He is also from the Department of Political Science and Law at Han University and is our junior."
A fleeting look of surprise crossed Ji Changming's face before he regained his composure and extended his hand toward Qi Tongwei.
"Secretary Qi, welcome, welcome."
Chapter 157 The Number One Old Fox of Handong
Ji Changming, the chief prosecutor of the Handong Procuratorate twenty years later, is known as the number one cunning old fox in Handong.
A top-notch political expert who could manipulate Gao Yuliang and Li Dakang without leaving a trace, he deeply understood the essence of being an official.
If you are successful, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone.
This will be true 20 years from now, and it will be true now as well.
As the executive deputy chief prosecutor of the Lincheng City Procuratorate, Ji Changming did indeed possess a considerable amount of substantial information.
But Qiao Ning is no ordinary person. He has served as the Party Secretary and Mayor of Lincheng City for a full four years.
If the Xujiayao coal mine collapse hadn't happened, perhaps Secretary Gong of the Provincial Party Committee wouldn't have come to investigate him. So, given Ji Changming's character, even if he had some evidence, he wouldn't have shown it.
Because he, as the executive deputy chief prosecutor of a municipal procuratorate, was completely powerless against a municipal party secretary.
Don't underestimate the municipal party secretary. He is a local warlord in Handong Province. His authority as the top leader is undeniable. After four years of management, Qiao Ning has cultivated a deep presence in Lincheng.
That's why Chief Prosecutor Wu of the Provincial Procuratorate knew Ji Changming, so he didn't send anyone else, but instead sent Qin Siyuan.
Qin Siyuan was not only Ji Changming's classmate, but also Ji Changming's roommate in the Department of Political Science and Law at Han University. They had a close relationship.
Therefore, Chief Prosecutor Wu knew that only when Qin Siyuan arrived in Lincheng would Ji Changming hand over some things and believe him, instead of just seeking to protect himself.
To put it bluntly, Ji Changming didn't even trust Secretary Gong of the Provincial Party Committee.
