Vice Mayor Yu is obviously one of them.
He didn't even have the chance to consider which side he should stand on. As soon as the news was broadcast, he completely offended Liu Jianguo.
If you don't deal with him, you will die. If you deal with him, you may have a chance of success.
So the common people who were still just listening to gossip heard another piece of news broadcast by City Voice that night: Secretary Liu embezzled public grain, collecting 20% of the public grain per acre from farmers every year, but actually only paid 15% to the state.
Some farmers were confused about how much extra grain they had paid, so they asked the village accountant.
Accountant Murakami calculated that if the yield per mu was 400 kilograms, 80 kilograms of public grain would have to be paid.
But in reality, all they actually paid to the state was 60 kilograms of public grain.
This is equivalent to paying an extra 20 kilograms of public grain for every acre of land. If a family has more than ten acres of land, they will pay an extra 200 kilograms a year. How much more rice can you eat with 200 kilograms!
If you pay 200 kilograms less, you don't have to eat sweet potato rice or potato rice.
This caused an uproar. Considering that Secretary Liu had previously condoned his daughter and granddaughter's crimes, this was outrageous. How could such a secretary be qualified to be a secretary?
In addition, the TV stations also began to broadcast the news that Liu Qing poisoned farmers' workshops, causing farmers to be unable to develop the economy and forced into desperation.
The leaders above all knew about this matter, and the provincial government called to question Liu Jianguo. Only then did Liu Jianguo realize that the matter was serious.
He quickly called his boss, who angrily said, "Look at what you've done. How could you possibly touch the public grain? You're a Party secretary, and you're still short of this little money!"
How dare you covet the common people's things? Even gods can't save you. Don't call me anymore."
Yu Yang also received a call from above: "Is this story about your municipal party secretary true? He even exposed his corruption on the radio. This is a disgrace to our Jiang City."
"I don't know anything about this matter. I promise I was not involved." Yu Yang quickly removed himself.
He was transferred here only two years ago, but Liu Jianguo has been doing this for ten years.
If he had not read the evidence provided by Xie Zheng, he would not have thought that Liu Jianguo would be so greedy.
The greedier and more ambitious a person is, the more he thinks he is a local tyrant and the more he becomes arrogant.
This is Xiangnan’s summary of Liu Jianguo. Of course, all this is thanks to the evidence and information provided by Xie Zheng.
If he hadn't provided it, it wouldn't be easy to investigate.
With the evidence and testimony provided by Xie Zheng, Liu Jianguo will be in great trouble if he doesn't die, as long as there is no one to protect him.
Liu Jianguo's son, Liu Dongsheng, angrily said, "This district station director is so bold! He dares to broadcast this kind of news. Arrest him first."
Liu Jianguo finally realized that something was wrong: "This is a premeditated trap against me. I'm afraid Director Qu has also been lured in by them."
"What? Who dares to target you, Dad? Hasn't Jiang City always been under our control?" Liu Dongsheng didn't quite believe it. He felt that Director Qu was crazy. Because his father wanted to remove him, he went crazy and bit his father.
"Call the city police chief and have him find a way to release Qingqing and Dandan first. They must be cleared of all charges."
"Dad, let's deal with things here first. We have to put Qingqing and Dandan's affairs aside for now, otherwise there will be trouble."
"The trouble has already come, what are you afraid of? If they want to take me down, let's see if they have the ability. They want to use Qingqing and Dandan to attack me, but I will save them.
Let them see who is in charge of this Jiang City."
Liu Dongsheng didn't quite agree with his father's approach. He thought that he should use his connections to quickly quell the controversy over public grain, and deal with other matters later.
As long as nothing happens to my father, everything will be fine.
But Liu Jianguo refused to listen, and he had no choice but to call the Municipal Public Security Bureau: "Uncle, you should understand, my sister and granddaughter are my father's treasures, nothing can happen to them.
Whatever method you use, you must release them."
"Nephew, this is really difficult to handle. The county police won't listen to me, and now the grain issue has become such a big deal, the people are watching..."
"Uncle, this is not a request, it's an order, understand?"
Why are you making excuses now? Why don’t you say no when you are offered the benefits?
The city police chief advised, "Nephew, please persuade the secretary not to act rashly now. The higher-ups have called me to investigate the secretary.
The issue of public grain is too big, we need to let the secretary handle it first, otherwise it will be difficult to get out of this situation."
"You don't need to worry about this, uncle. Just do what my father tells you to do. And arrest the district secretary for spreading rumors and slandering him."
As soon as Liu Dongsheng hung up the phone, his wife called in: "What's going on with Dad? We need to solve it quickly, otherwise even my family will be implicated.
My son came back from school today and said that all the classmates in the school were pointing at him and some even called him a food thief. His clothes were torn by them.
In the past, if anyone dared to show him annoyance at school, he would get so angry that he would cry and refuse to eat!
"Why are you so anxious? Dad has always had the final say in Jiang City. District Director, this traitor, will be punished."
The district director waited in his office until the city police arrived. He declared righteously, "What I reported is the truth, there is no slander or fabrication.
This news was provided by the An County Public Security Bureau, and the witness was Secretary Liu's son-in-law, Xie Zheng. The evidence is irrefutable, and you must have evidence before you can arrest me."
"Accept our investigation first. Whether Secretary Liu's story is true or not can only be determined after the investigation. If you haven't fabricated rumors or slandered me, you'll be fine."
The police took the district director away without any explanation. The district director naturally knew that this would happen, and he had already asked his family to go to the neighboring city first.
Yang Xiao came to Xiang Nan and said, "Director Hu received an order from the city to bring Liu Qing and Xie Dan to the city to investigate the case. They are going to take over Liu Qing and Xie Dan's case."
Xiangnan smiled and said, "This is a good thing. The big fish has taken the bait. It made Director Hu sternly refuse and finally hand the person over."
"Do you think Secretary Liu will really protect his daughter and granddaughter at this critical moment?"
Yang Xiao felt that Secretary Liu might have some problems with his brain. Those who could become secretaries were all smart people. Instead of protecting himself at a time like this, he was stirring up trouble.
"Yes, he will do this more often at times like this, to rescue his relatives before he falls.
The more he does this, the more it shows that our plan has succeeded. The higher-ups must have given him instructions and will no longer protect him."
"Just let him get him out?"
"He traded his future for the freedom of his granddaughter and daughter. It was a good deal. Without Liu Jianguo's protection, Liu Qing and Xie Dan are nothing. They are at the mercy of others."
The one who poses a threat is Liu Jianguo. Without Liu Jianguo, Liu Qing and Xie Dan can't even jump.
Even if they were released, they could only escape for their lives. They had offended so many people in Jiang City that they couldn't stay there.
The radio station reported on Liu Jianguo's embezzlement of public grain for several days in a row. The people were so angry that they went to the Municipal Party Committee Building and the grain warehouse to make a scene, demanding the return of the public grain they had paid in excess.
