Nominal: The Handong Game, the Energy System's Counterattack

During the Standing Committee meeting just now, the momentum was almost entirely in the hands of the newly appointed Provincial Party Secretary, Sha Ruijin.

A few words were enough to start a fight between Gao Yuliang and Li Dakang.

The key point is that he used numerous leads to introduce the cadre issues in Handong, putting pressure on these Standing Committee members.

If the entire Handong region is as Sha Ruijin describes, then those present here are the first to bear the responsibility.

After all, the Standing Committee members present here represent the highest level of power in the entire Handong region.

The cadres throughout Handong have widespread problems, so does that mean they themselves have problems?

If this really gets back to the higher-ups, where will those bigwigs put their faces?

Now that Governor Liu has spoken, they want to see if the soon-to-retire deputy leader will also follow the lead of the new provincial party secretary.

However, as everyone listened, they felt that the atmosphere in the venue had become much more peaceful.

It seems that the pressure that Sha Ruijin just exerted was diluted by Governor Liu's slow and deliberate words?

"This Dafeng factory is located in Guangming District of Jingzhou City."

"It involves the Guangming Peak project. The previous chief commander of the Guangming Peak project was Ding Yizhen, the vice mayor of Jingzhou City."

"Of course, for some reason, he is now in exile overseas."

"Therefore, it is possible that Secretary Sha judged that the Dafeng Factory incident was a vicious mass incident caused by cadre corruption."

Hmm? Just a possibility? Sha Ruijin felt a little annoyed.

What exactly is Liu Wenzhong trying to do?

He just defined the nature of the Dafeng Factory 116 incident himself, what does he mean by this?

When Gao Yuliang, Li Dakang, and the other standing committee members heard Governor Liu's words, they didn't think about the 116 wind factory incident.

Instead, they interpreted the former governor's words "it is possible" quite thoroughly.

Many people kept glancing furtively between Sha Ruijin and Governor Liu.

Then they all secretly glanced at each other, their eyes filled with doubt.

I don't know what the former governor is trying to do.

What's going on? Wasn't Governor Liu supposed to be retiring? Is his statement a nod to the new provincial party secretary?

"As you all know, I'm about to retire."

"Comrade Zhenhui helps me manage the affairs of this group of government officials, but his energy is limited."

"Fortunately, the higher-ups saw how hard I was working and sent Comrade Chu Yi to support our team."

"He is highly capable and in his prime, so I have entrusted him with many tasks at the provincial government."

"Especially in the public security, procuratorial and judicial sectors, with Secretary Yu Liang as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, everything was handled very well."

"The comrade who was in charge of this area before basically never reported to me on issues related to public security, procuratorate, and the judiciary."

Upon hearing this, many people looked at Gao Yuliang with a hint of amusement.

Governor Liu's response eased the atmosphere of the meeting considerably.

His words just now, in particular, put some pressure on the newly appointed provincial party secretary, Sha Ruijin.

This allowed Gao Yuliang, who had just been fighting for Qi Tongwei, to breathe a sigh of relief.

Gao Yuliang, who was holding a thermos and smiling as he watched Governor Liu speak, froze for a moment when he heard Governor Liu's words.

He could feel many people staring at him. He controlled his expression, slowly put down his thermos, and glanced at Governor Liu with some surprise.

No one present was a fool; Governor Liu's words were a blatant dig at Gao Yuliang.

Throughout the entire public security, procuratorate, and judicial system in Handong, the Han Da Bang holds immense power.

Everyone in Handong listens to him, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and doesn't respect the provincial government. Everyone knows this.

However, it seems that this is the first time the provincial government has brought this up so clearly at the Standing Committee meeting.

Just now, Governor Liu seemed to have mentioned the newly appointed Secretary Sha, and now he's also mentioning Gao Yuliang, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

What is our Governor Liu up to?

Did he kill everyone before retiring?

Some people had rather outlandish ideas, and their gazes towards Governor Liu became somewhat evasive.

I won't say anything. You've already chosen the eldest and third sons, so let's not bother with the rest of us.

The secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission is responsible for overseeing the procuratorate and the court; there's nothing to say about that, that's how the organization divides its responsibilities.

Rumors are circulating everywhere that Gao Yuliang, this bigwig from Handong Province, controls the public security, procuratorate, and judicial system.

However, the situation in the procuratorial and judicial systems, which should actually be under the control of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, is not as rumored.

Although the Handong Procuratorate and Court have a large number of officials from the Handong University, this is the stronghold of local Handong residents.

The Liang, Wu, Wang, and Lin families have a complex web of relationships.

It seems that Gao Yuliang only holds the title.

Gao Yuliang originally married Wu Huifen, so she was considered a semi-local.

He was pushed into the officialdom of Handong by the local authorities, but later he sided with Zhao Lichun.

He later divorced Wu Huifen, although it was not made public.

The Wu family and some local pai certainly won't pour all their resources into Gao Yuliang.

As the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, his influence within the procuratorial and judicial systems of Handong Province is far less than rumored.

As for the public security system, he, as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, was originally only in charge of Party building, the political direction of the team, stability maintenance, and cross-departmental coordination.

In terms of organizational principles, the Provincial Public Security Department is part of the provincial government and is directly under the administrative leadership of the provincial government.

But everyone knows that the current director of the provincial public security department is Qi Tongwei, a disciple of Gao Yuliang.

It was he, along with the Liang family and former provincial party secretary Zhao Lichun, who pushed him to the top step by step.

So the current situation is rather strange.

As the Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, I have a deep understanding of the situation regarding the Handong Procuratorate and the court.

Gao Yuliang didn't have that much control; instead, he used Qi Tongwei to keep a tight grip on the Handong Provincial Public Security Bureau.

This is clearly shown in the TV series, where Gao Yuliang and local Pai Chen Hai were promoted to the position of Anti-Corruption Bureau Director.

They thought Chen Hai would be a key figure in their Han University gang within the procuratorate, but this student completely disregarded his teacher and top leader.

The chief prosecutor, Ji Changming, is a master of Tai Chi, and a famous non-stick pan in Handong.

Gao Yuliang could give instructions, but he had absolutely no say in how to do it.

As for the matter of arresting Ding Yizhen, it was really because Chen Hai was an unreliable person.

Ji Changming couldn't bear the blame, so he thought of reporting to Gao Yuliang.

In other matters, Gao Yuliang's control over the procuratorate and the courts was really limited.

In the end, the local prosecutors and court officials, in order to overturn Hou Liangping's case, stabbed Gao Yuliang and his gang in the back.

If it weren't for the local connections of Ji Changming and Judge Wu, Hou Liangping's charges might have been confirmed in the original novel.

Finally, Xiao Gangyu, who was planted in the procuratorial system, was also removed from office. This secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission was really not worthy of the title.
