Several large trucks drove slowly over, and the people standing in the truck beds were the subjects of this public trial.

At this time, they no longer had the glamour of the past. They were all tied up, with a sign on their backs and pointed hats on their heads.

"Here I come."

"Smash these socialist parasites to death."

Although the public security comrades tried their best to maintain order at the scene, some people still picked up stones on the ground and threw them at them.

Hard stones came from all directions, and the people on the truck had no way to avoid them. Several people near the periphery were hit and had their heads broken and bleeding.

The curses from the people around them frightened them so much that they trembled, and the stones flying towards them made them wail.

The cadres who were once high and mighty have become targets of public condemnation.

Finally, under the escort of public security comrades, they were finally sent to the platform.

After the public trial began, the bad guys were taken to the middle of the platform and made to kneel down. The prosecutor read out the crimes they had committed and the verdicts.

In this era where a trip to the black market could cost you your job, and talking to a lesbian for a few more words could result in you having to eat peanuts, the consequences for them can be imagined.

They embezzled collective assets in extremely large amounts, and their only fate is the death penalty.

When the death sentence was announced, the people kneeling in the middle of the platform collapsed to the ground one by one, their eyes full of despair.

When they just graduated and started working, they also aspired to be good cadres.

When they joined the organization, they also solemnly swore to fight for the great cause of communism throughout their lives.

They broke their oaths, betrayed their beliefs, and slid into the abyss step by step.

When they were put in detention and lost their freedom, they finally began to reflect, but it was too late.

It was not until the public trial and the verdict that they felt fear. When they heard the cheers of the audience, they knew that death was not the end for them.

For a long time to come, people will probably curse them when they mention them.

They may also be used as negative examples to warn domestic cadres.

They will be infamous for eternity and be nailed to the pillar of shame.

The provincial officials all had stern faces. It was not a glorious thing that so many corrupt officials appeared in a prefecture-level city under their jurisdiction.

Some cadres in other prefecture-level cities were filled with righteous indignation and wished to crush the corrupt elements to ashes.

Some people looked nervous, and every time the prosecutor read out a death sentence, their bodies trembled as if they were on trial.

Their performance naturally did not escape the sharp eyes of Qiu Changhai and Liu Hang.

The two looked at each other and understood each other's meaning from each other's eyes. It seems that it is time to clean up Su Province.

From low to high, the judge positions are, after the heads of each bureau, Qian Zilai and Cai Wei.

When Cai Wei was forced to kneel in the middle of the platform, he suddenly turned around and stared at He Zhiqiang.

He knew this was his last chance. If He Zhiqiang didn't speak up before the trial, his fate would be the same as the previous ones.

"Vice Governor He, I'm innocent! Everything I did back then was approved by you!"

Cai Wei still retained his last bit of rationality and did not reveal the fact that he had helped He Zhiqiang make money.

If that incident were to be exposed, not only would it not save him, it would also drag He Zhiqiang into the water, which would not help him to exonerate himself.

"Shut up! It's already this late, and you still dare to bite the leader? Take him away!"

Before He Zhiqiang could say anything, Cai Wei was interrupted by Qiu Changhai.

It wasn't that he wanted to protect He Zhiqiang. The two of them didn't have that deep of a relationship. Qiu Changhai was saving the face of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee.

If Cai Wei exposes the conflict of interests between the two in front of so many people, will the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee still have face?

"Vice Governor He, I have no merits but I have worked hard. Please save me, save me!"

Cai Wei was dragged off the stage while shouting by two public security comrades.

The crowd below was confused and had no idea what was going on. The public trial had already ended.

Except for Cai Wei, all other corrupt officials were taken to the execution ground.

In an office in the Sucheng government compound, Qiu Changhai's face was ashen as he looked at a notebook on the table.

This was what Cai Wei told him at the last moment, and it recorded in detail the antiques, gold, and calligraphy and paintings by famous people that had been delivered to He Zhiqiang over the past eight years.

The year and day, and what was given are all recorded clearly.

"Governor Qiu, I am innocent. This is Cai Wei's slander against me. I have never accepted anything from him. I am a cadre of the people. How could I do such a thing?"

He Zhiqiang swore solemnly, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Vice Governor He, there's no smoke without fire. Even though I've only been in Su Province for two years, I can see that Cai Wei and you have a very good relationship."

Liu Hang looked at He Zhiqiang with suspicion.

"Vice Governor Liu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! Cai Wei and I have a normal working relationship, and there's no issue of profiteering as he mentioned.

If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. If you two don't believe me, I am willing to accept the organization's investigation to see if my home has what Cai Wei said.

He Zhiqiang was very confident about where he hid things and was not afraid of the organization's investigation at all.

The only evidence Cai Wei could produce was this notebook.

Whenever he delivered something, He Zhiqiang would always designate a place, and after Cai Wei put the item down, someone would go and pick it up.

From beginning to end, He Zhiqiang would not show up, so Cai Wei could not produce more powerful evidence.

However, Cai Wei's report did not buy him a chance to live, and he was still executed.

"You don't need to tell me this. The organization will definitely investigate. To avoid suspicion, Comrade He Zhiqiang should temporarily stop working. Everything will be discussed after the investigation."

The provincial party committee cadres left Suzhou in a hurry without even having a meal.

He came in high spirits, but left in a hurry and in a mess.

"Grandson, do you think He Zhiqiang can withstand the investigation?"

Looking at the car going away, Xiao Qingyang seemed to be asking Yang Baiyi, or talking to himself.

He Zhiqiang, the mastermind behind his frame-up, is his last enemy.

"I've already had the National Security Bureau keep an eye on him. If he shows up at the place where he's hiding his property, he'll be caught red-handed."

He Zhiqiang was just an ordinary person, and he was completely unaware that his comrades from the police station were following him.

“His salary is more than enough to cover his daily expenses, but I’m afraid he won’t go back to where he hides his belongings.

What if he doesn't go to see it for ten or twenty years? Justice delayed loses its original value.

Although I was sent down for eight years, I was able to recognize you and Xiaoxiao, which is worth it for our whole family.

It would be a shame if He Zhiqiang, who embezzled so much money, could remain at large."
