Chapter 330: Political Questions, Issue 8 (1)

During this period, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection's investigation revealed that Sun Peisen had numerous problems, including power-for-money and power-for-sex transactions. The evidence currently available alone suggests that the amount of corruption was at least 100 million yuan.

This result was fed back to Zhao Heping and Xu Zhaolin, and they both had a clear idea in their minds.

At the afternoon meeting on July 21, when Ding Zhiwen presented the evidence, Cai Hanwen was at a loss.

"Old Ding, your Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is investigating a municipal Party Secretary in my province. Why didn't I know about it in advance? Now that you've produced the evidence, are you going to notify us or discuss it?"

Ding Zhiwen had long guessed that Cai Hanwen would be angry, but he didn't care at all. "Secretary Hanwen, don't get excited. Aren't we all discussing the issue now? I must produce evidence first, and then discuss it with everyone."

"Is there anything else to discuss?" Li Chunyan smiled and drank a cup of tea. "He embezzled over 100 million yuan. He must be arrested."

Cai Hanwen turned to look at Li Chunyan, "Minister Li, was it your Organization Department or that 'Questioning Haizhou' newspaper that asked the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate this matter?"

Li Chunyan almost laughed out loud. Cai Hanwen was also a well-known politician in the province. How could he ask such a stupid question? "Secretary Hanwen, the Discipline Inspection Commission has its own procedures. How can the Organization Department and I interfere?"

After Cai Hanwen finished speaking, he realized that his question was problematic. He was really starting to lose control. Baihe City and Haibei City had already been destroyed, and now Huaxing City was about to be destroyed.

These guys really don't give me, the third-in-command of the province, any face at all!

Zhao Heping smiled and soothed him, "Secretary Hanwen, since this is a meeting, then we must have a full discussion."

Zhao Heping then looked at Xu Zhaolin and asked, "Governor Zhaolin, what is your opinion on this matter?"

Xu Zhaolin said calmly: "My opinion is, arrest him!"

Zhao Heping looked at Cai Hanwen, "Secretary Hanwen, what are your opinions?"

Cai Hanwen was completely disheartened. Four of the five members of the provincial party committee had called for his arrest. Did his opinion still matter? Was he the provincial party secretary?

His brain was working rapidly. Sun Peisen could not be saved, so the best way was to let the current mayor of Huaxing City directly take over the work of the municipal party secretary, and then directly promote him to the position of municipal party secretary.

"I respect everyone's opinion."

Cai Hanwen reluctantly gave in. "However, Huaxing City is, after all, the third largest prefecture-level city in the province. I'm worried that the fall of a municipal Party Secretary would have serious consequences. I propose that the current Huaxing Mayor, Luo Fan, take over as Municipal Party Secretary."

Zhao Heping smiled and nodded perfunctorily, saying, "Since Secretary Hanwen agrees, then, Secretary Ding, the Discipline Inspection Commission should steadily advance its work. As for who will take over as Municipal Party Secretary, we will discuss it later."

At 7:30 that evening, in the dressing room of the Haizhou Radio and Television Station studio.

Jiang Ningyue changed into a slim-fitting suit and sat quietly in front of the dressing table, with the makeup artist fiddling with her hair.

At this time, many leaders have arrived in the parking lot of the radio and television station. This is the first time that the municipal party secretary and the mayor have participated in the program since the launch of "Questioning Haizhou".

Of course, the municipal party secretary was sitting in the audience.

Liu Tai once again stood at the studio door. After Sun Peisen got out of the car, he immediately shook hands with Liu Tai. "Old Liu, I heard that Governor Zhaolin will be here tonight?"

"Yes, I heard that too."

Liu Tai nodded, a lingering fear in his heart. Jiang Ningyue hadn't been on "Questioning Government" for just a few months, and she'd already made such a big deal upon returning. She'd even gotten the governor involved. What's going on? Are they going to get the provincial party secretary on stage next time, too?

Sun Peisen asked in a low voice, "Old Liu, tell me the truth, what exactly are you going to investigate tonight?"

Liu Tai had a complicated expression. "I only know three problems. The first is the dead-end road that hasn't been repaired in years. The second is the gas pipeline that hasn't been connected in years. The third is illegal oil."

"Private oil?"

Sun Peisen glanced at the general manager of Petroleum Huaxing Branch standing not far away, and nodded secretly in his heart. He might be in trouble this time. He didn't know if he could save him. If not, then

"What about the last one?"

"I really don't know the last one." Liu Tai shook his head helplessly. "Jiang Ningyue hid it very well this time. Not only me, but even the people on their program team didn't know."

"Okay." Sun Peisen thought about it and felt relieved since these things had little to do with him.

As for Mayor Luo Fan, let him deal with it on his own.

Although everyone was chatting, no one went inside to sit down because the real protagonist had not yet arrived. As early as 6 o'clock in the evening, the TV station's security was replaced by the police.

Soon, Zhong Yuanchang from the Provincial Emergency Management Bureau and Zheng Yu, director of the Provincial Statistics Bureau, also arrived at the scene.

After seeing the director of the Statistics Bureau, Sun Peisen was very confused. In fact, Director Huang, the director of the Statistics Bureau of Huaxing City, had also arrived. However, which of the above required the Statistics Bureau?

Is there something wrong with GDP?

As soon as this thought came to mind, Sun Peisen quickly suppressed it.

Impossible, this problem will not be found out, it definitely won't.

Even if it is discovered, it will not be broadcast on "Questioning Haizhou".

Thinking of this, Sun Peisen's uneasy heart immediately calmed down.

At 7:50 p.m., Xu Zhaolin's car entered through the main gate. The people who had been standing at the gate for dozens of minutes finally greeted Xu Zhaolin. However, Xu Zhaolin did not greet anyone, but calmly said:

"Hurry up and go in, the live broadcast will start soon."

——

As early as the 20th, the Douyin platform had already announced in advance that Jiang Ningyue would return in "Questioning Haizhou".

Therefore, many netizens who like to watch "Questioning Haizhou", especially Jiang Ningyue's sharp words and on-the-spot arrests on the show, waited in the live broadcast room early, or turned on the TV series early and stopped at the urban channel of Haizhou Radio and Television Station.

As soon as 8 o'clock arrived, the opening credits of "Questioning Haizhou" appeared on TV. After the opening credits ended, the familiar woman was indeed standing on the stage.

【oh! ! ! 】

【Yueyue is back! 】

My wife is beautiful again.

【That’s my wife! 】

As the crowd joked, Nian Sisi, this episode's co-host, took the microphone and said, "Good evening, everyone in the audience, those watching on TV, and those online, and welcome to this episode of 'Questioning Haizhou'. I'm the host, Nian Sisi, and this time we're questioning Huaxing City."

Jiang Ningyue picked up the microphone. "I'm Supervisor Jiang Ningyue. The provincial leader sitting in the audience area today is Xu Zhaolin, Deputy Secretary of the Haizhou Provincial Party Committee and Governor. Welcome, Governor Zhaolin."

Xu Zhaolin stood up and applauded with a smile.

The barrage instantly exploded.

[What the hell???]

[A king bomb right from the start?!]

[The provincial governor has already been released, so taking down a municipal party secretary isn't too much to ask for today, right?]

[Is the Provincial No. 2 so idle? ]

[Be careful when you speak, don't destroy my comments. ]
