Chapter 97 Political Earthquake



After Lan Xiaoqin was taken away, the entire Pingyang municipal government was like a powerful earthquake, and fell into unprecedented chaos and turmoil.

Many officials who once had close contacts with Lan Xiaoqin were now worried about their safety. In order to protect themselves, they were willing to take drastic measures and voluntarily surrendered themselves to the local disciplinary inspection commission.

Under this sudden situation, the discipline inspection departments in various regions were forced to set up "Lan Xiaoqin Special Case Rooms" one after another to deal with local officials who came forward to surrender.

In these special project rooms, the staff are busy and the atmosphere is solemn and tense.

In particular, Yong'an County, where Lan Xiaoqin was in charge, has become the hardest hit area of ​​corruption in the entire city.

Many Yong'an County cadres expressed deep regret when explaining the problems.

According to their confession, during Lan Xiaoqin's tenure as county party secretary, she blatantly bought and sold official positions and accepted bribes without any scruples.

The price of selling positions was even clearly marked, with deputy section chiefs paying 50,000 yuan, section chiefs paying 100,000 yuan, and deputy division chiefs paying 20...

The amount involved in the sale of official positions in Yong'an County alone reached a staggering amount of tens of millions!

Behind those shocking figures is trampled upon fairness and justice and a corrupted political environment.

In addition, businessmen who followed Lan Xiaoqin, such as Du Feiyu and He Chaohui, who felt that the situation was hopeless, also revealed more shocking inside stories.

They revealed that after completing each project, they had to hand over 30 percent of the net profit to Lan Xiaoqin.

In order to help Lan Xiaoqin get elected and bribe people, these businessmen donated millions of dollars to support her.

Based on the amount disclosed so far, the cumulative amount has exceeded 100 million!

These huge numbers, like deep scars, reveal the black hole of corruption hidden behind Pingyang City.

At this time, in the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee office building, Peng Yutao was sitting in his office with a face as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

He had been sitting quietly in his office all day, and had no intention of meeting a single visitor.

There were piles of documents on the table, but none of them caught his attention. His eyes were empty and confused, and his mind was full of thoughts, like a tangled mess.

He is well aware that as the top leader of the Party and government in Pingyang City, he has an unshirkable responsibility to maintain the clean development of Pingyang's political ecology.

However, Lan Xiaoqin's incident was like a loud slap in the face, leaving him dizzy and at a loss.

He pondered over and over in his mind how to explain all this to Secretary Wang of the Provincial Party Committee.

Lan Xiaoqin had been working with him for so long, could it be that he really hadn't noticed anything? Would Secretary Wang believe what he said?

If Secretary Wang believed it, it would undoubtedly prove that he was unqualified as the municipal party secretary and had seriously neglected his duties!

The failure to promptly identify and stop the corruption around us has caused such a severe blow to the political ecology of the entire Pingyang City.

If Secretary Wang didn't believe it, wouldn't he also face the fate of being investigated by the organization? The consequences of that would be disastrous.

The more Peng Yutao thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He couldn't help but slam the table hard and yelled, "Fuck! How could this happen out of the blue?"

He paced back and forth in the office, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

No matter what, he had to go to the provincial party committee and admit his dereliction of duty to Secretary Wang.

Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I must beg him to give me another chance, so that I can have the opportunity to make up for my mistakes, reorganize the political ecology of Pingyang City, and give the people a clean and honest government.

Peng Yutao sighed and called Wei Haiyang helplessly.

His voice sounded weak: "Haiyang, prepare the car, let's go to the Provincial Party Committee!" Wei Haiyang looked at Peng Yutao's haggard face and felt mixed emotions, but he still quickly prepared the car and prepared to accompany Peng Yutao on this difficult "journey of apology."

...

At this time, the Provincial Party Committee compound.

Liu Hao, another mayoral candidate of Pingyang City, stood in front of Tu Ming, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, with trembling legs.

Tu Ming, with his square face, protruding belly and puffed chest, looked as gloomy as the sky before a storm, and the thick haze almost solidified.

He paced back and forth anxiously in front of Liu Hao, and every step seemed to carry a thousand pounds of anger and disappointment.

From time to time, he would let out a heavy sigh, and the sigh echoed in the empty courtyard, adding a bit of sadness.

"Liu Hao! I have underestimated you all these years! Playing with women? Three at a time?"

Tu Ming's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with deep hatred and disbelief.

"Humph! You're just playing around, but you're still letting Lan Xiaoqin get hold of your handle and take possession of your evidence?"

Tu Ming became angrier as he spoke. Veins on his forehead bulged and his eyes widened. His angry gaze seemed to devour Liu Hao.

"You hid it so well! If Lan Xiaoqin hadn't been caught and confessed, I would still be kept in the dark by you!"

Tu Ming's voice trembled slightly with excitement. He stopped and stared at Liu Hao, his eyes filled with pain and anger after being betrayed.

"I thought you were a good comrade who was pure-hearted and abiding by the bottom line, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect!"

Tu Ming's voice became hoarse, he shook his head, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.

"How much effort have I put into you? How much hope have I put into you? I have always treated you as my favorite student and carefully nurtured you, hoping that you would one day be able to govern a region, work for the welfare of the people, and contribute to our cause. But what about you? Is this how you repay me?"

Tu Ming clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

He looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself, but his heaving chest showed the turmoil in his heart.
