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

When Li Dakang heard the news that Chen Yanshi had been taken away, he felt both a sense of relief and a heavy sense of pressure.

Is this the power of a provincial governor? He doesn't even give face to the provincial party secretary.

If he could sit in that position, would there be such a big constraint?

"Sha Li Pei, Sha Li Pei," Li Dakang muttered to himself.

His biggest hope for taking that position is the recommendation of the new provincial party secretary.

Unfortunately, after a Standing Committee meeting, Li Dakang felt he was getting further and further away from that position, and even Sha Ruijin's recommendation was useless.

......

A few days later, in Zhou Chuyi's office at the provincial government building.

Zhou Chuyi stood in front of the map, gazing intently at the map of Handong.

Jingzhou, Lüzhou, Lincheng, Yantai... place names unfolded before his eyes.

Secretary Xiaolin quietly entered: "Boss, Director Luo is here."

Luo Junzhen walked in, looking travel-worn, carrying a thick stack of files.

"Governor Zhou, the testimonies of all those involved in the case have aligned."

"We have handed over the evidence to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, including Zhao Donglai and more than 20 other cadres."

"After the disciplinary committee finished its investigation, it also provided the information to our special task force."

"Cai Chenggong, Wang Wenge, and others confessed to their illegal and criminal acts."

"Wang Wenge admitted that he accidentally ignited the gasoline while holding a torch, causing the fire."

He also admitted that the factory security team had secretly kept five shotguns and several homemade gunpowder guns.

"Other members of the factory security team also acknowledged these circumstances."

"Chen Yanshi's statement has also been recorded. He confessed to instructing the factory protection team to construct defensive fortifications."

"But he emphasized that his original intention was to protect the rights of workers, and in the end, it did not cause any serious consequences."

"As for asking Zhao Donglai to buy gasoline for Dafeng Factory, he said he only said a few words, so it's not easy to convict him."

"It's okay."

Zhou Chuyi waved his hand, indicating that he had no intention of convicting Chen Yanshi, that old scoundrel, based solely on the 116 incident.

If Chen Yanshi were really nailed to the ground at this moment, Sha Ruijin's adoptive fathers might make a move.

If Sha Ruijin, the provincial party secretary, were to devote some of his energy to the provincial government, it would go against Zhou Chuyi's original plan.

He was still thinking that Chen Yanshi would lead the shareholders of Dafeng Factory to Jingzhou City to acquire land.

If he doesn't jump outside, it won't be fun later.

Zhou Chuyi had a general idea of ​​the Dafeng Factory case.

In this round, those who are supposed to go in will go in, and those who are dancing outside will continue to dance outside.

Zhou Chuyi nodded: "Specifically?"

"Zhao Donglai and more than 20 other cadres will be punished according to party discipline and then face judicial trial."

Both of them knew that the handling of the officials this time wouldn't be quick.

Luo Junzhen stated, "According to the law, Cai Chenggong, the factory director of Dafeng Factory, is suspected of committing crimes related to major safety accidents, endangering public safety, and illegal fundraising fraud."

"Wang Wenge is suspected of arson and illegal possession of firearms."

"The two will be sentenced to around ten years."

"The factory protection team is suspected of the crime of gathering a crowd to disrupt social order, and the sentence is one to three years."

"Zheng Xipo, the chairman of the union at Dafeng Factory, is being cautious; he may face administrative penalties."

He hesitated for a moment: "Chen Yanshi's situation is rather special. He is suspected of illegally interfering with administrative law enforcement and abusing his power by taking advantage of his former position."

"However, given his age, contributions, and specific role, whether to pursue criminal liability requires careful consideration by the provincial party committee and government."

Zhou Chuyi nodded.

"Director Luo, please proceed according to legal procedures."

"Those who should be detained will be detained, and those who should be prosecuted will be prosecuted."

"The case of Chen Yanshi will be jointly studied and decided by the provincial government and the provincial party committee."

He turned around, his gaze intense: "Get this done, then go report to Governor Liu."

"Then make some preparations for your trip to Yanjing. I will communicate with them in advance, and you should also report to Minister Peng."

Upon hearing this, Luo Junzhen's eyes lit up, and he saluted solemnly, "Yes, sir!"

......

The matter concerning Dafeng Factory and the 116 Incident has temporarily come to an end.

However, Zhou Chuyi wouldn't let others be idle.

As the vice governor of Handong Province in charge of public security, procuratorate and justice, in accordance with the spirit of the first meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress.

Zhou Chuyi wrote a report and submitted it to Governor Liu.

After seeing it, Governor Liu signed it with a smile and said he would go to Sha Ruijin and Gao Yuliang for their signatures.

Soon after, an official document from the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Government, and the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission arrived on Ji Changming's desk at the Handong Provincial Procuratorate.

The document made clear demands on the Provincial Procuratorate:

First, the anti-corruption bureau officials responsible for the case of Ding Yizhen's escape should be held strictly accountable for their dereliction of duty.

Second, the Handong Provincial Procuratorate must immediately launch a one-month special campaign of "using cases to promote reform and warn against corruption, as well as discipline and work style rectification" throughout the provincial procuratorial system, aligning with the requirements of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, with the participation of all staff.

Third, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate must organize a re-study of laws and procedures, reiterate the norms for approval and handling of affairs, conduct self-examination and self-correction by all staff, investigate similar risks and hidden dangers, and carry out special studies on clarifying discipline and promoting governance through cases.

Fourth, a special study session will be established, which must be attended by comrades such as Lu Yike, Zhou Zheng, and Lin Huahua who have recently violated regulations and discipline.

Hou Liangping, a member of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, is currently enrolled in a special training course at the Supreme People's Procuratorate and has been included in the unified management of the Handong Training Course.

The document concludes by stating that the prosecutorial system is the guardian of the law.

As public prosecutors, we must strictly adhere to the red lines of the law, strictly follow the bottom lines of procedures when handling cases, and resolutely avoid crossing the high-voltage lines of discipline.

This principle, written on the wall of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, should also be written in the hearts of every procuratorial cadre.

Ji Changming looked at the official document and smiled bitterly to himself; there was no way to delay it any longer.

Lu Yike, Lin Huahua, Zhou Zheng, and the others have already been released from the Discipline Inspection Commission. That's all the information they had. The specific punishments will still need to be studied by the Party Group of the Procuratorate.

Due to pressure from Judge Wu and others, Ji Changming has not yet punished these people.

But now that the provincial party committee has issued an official document, he doesn't dare not punish them.

After thinking for a while, he took out his landline and made a call, announcing that an emergency meeting of the provincial procuratorate's party group would be convened immediately to convey the instructions of the provincial party committee.

The notice outlined the requirements for a nationwide special rectification campaign within the procuratorial system, reviewed all dereliction of duty in the Ding Yizhen fugitive case, and launched a comprehensive accountability and special rectification effort.

At this time, Lu Yike, Lin Huahua, Zhou Zheng, and others had finished their investigation and were all suspended from their duties and staying at home.

Just then, they received a phone call informing them to return for a meeting.

The day after the provincial party committee issued its official document, the Handong Provincial Procuratorate convened a meeting of all party members and cadres.

A red banner with white lettering hung at the front of the conference room, which read: "Using Cases to Clarify Discipline and Promote Governance—Special Campaign for Discipline and Work Style Rectification in the Handong Provincial Procuratorate System".

A banner was also hanging on one side: "Strictly adhere to the bottom line of procedures and do not cross the high-voltage line of discipline."

Standing on the platform, Ji Changming looked down at the sea of ​​people below and felt his face burning.
