Chapter 274, Issue 2 (5)
When the evidence was shown on the big screen, the comments started to reverse. Jiang Ningyue's fans went all out, lashing out crazily.
Barrage:
【Laughing to death, the dog barks again?】
"Speak up? Weren't you yelling really loudly before?"
Where did this slave come from? He even empathizes with the corrupt officials?
[Flies are like this, they only dare to hide in dark corners and suck the blood of heroes.]
Jiang Ningyue had long known that after the popularity of "Questioning Haizhou," countless people would be watching the show with a magnifying glass, so many issues had to be improved. Ambiguous and unclear matters without evidence should not be broadcast on the news.
The reporter's investigation began to be broadcast on the big screen.
The reporter's investigation also uncovered some issues. For example, even though the area was clearly the same, gifts could be used to illegally increase the area of demolished homes, or to count illegal buildings as legal areas.
Demolition office staff also abused their power for personal gain. Duan Mouwei, a file manager, illegally allocated a long-unoccupied village house to his mother-in-law, securing 150,000 yuan in compensation and a relocation home for her.
During the interview, villager Mr. Li said that his elderly family member is suffering from cancer. Seeing that nearby villagers have moved into resettlement housing ahead of schedule, he also wanted to contact the relocation office to move in early. However, the staff flatly refused.
(Abnormal shooting)
Staff: "Don't come! I've told you so many times, it's impossible. So many people want to choose a room in advance, and there aren't that many rooms! Go back and wait for notification!"
"My situation isn't special."
Staff: "Are you the only one who's special? Aren't others special?"
Seeing the staff's resolute attitude, with no room for maneuver, Mr. Li had no choice but to bribe the deputy director in exchange for convenience.
Mr. Li took out a stack of envelopes and placed them on the table. "Chief Zhang, please help me. My family's situation is indeed unique."
Video switching.
Deputy Director Zhang Bai waved his hand, "Close the door." After Mr. Li closed the door, Zhang Bai opened the envelope and took out the money. After a rough estimate, he found that there was 20,000 yuan. Zhang Bai put the money back into the envelope, opened the drawer, and threw it in.
Zhang Bai: "Wouldn't it have been better if you'd been more sensible earlier? I have some floor plans here, take your pick."
Mr. Li came to his desk and asked, "What are these paintings?"
[“The ones marked with an X have already been chosen.”]
"Are they also giving gifts?"
"Of course. If they don't give me a gift, who's going to let them choose first?" Zhang Bai said with a disdainful smile.
Mr. Li pointed to a house and said, "Then I'll choose this one."
"Ask." Zhang Bai nodded casually. "Come pick up the keys on Monday. The paperwork and property ownership certificate will be completed later."
【"clear."】
[And just like that, a power-for-money transaction was successfully completed. Something that was originally unacceptable no matter what, was easily accomplished with the help of 20,000 yuan.]
After watching the short film, Fang Mingzhe could no longer lift his head. Jiang Ningyue looked at Fang Mingzhe with a smile, "Mayor Mingzhe, after watching this interview, what do you think?"
"oops……"
Fang Mingzhe picked up the microphone, his expression filled with emotion. "I can't bear to watch this. It's so shameful and humiliating! Some of our staff, with just a little power in their hands, are looking to embarrass the people and abuse their power for personal gain. They have no Party spirit or principles. This shows that we're not doing our job properly! Besides the corruption at the demolition office, the oversight from Shi County and the Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission is also inadequate."
Fang Mingzhe seemed to have made up his mind. "Right now, the Xisui Municipal Government staff are also watching the live broadcast. I propose that the staff of the Xisui Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision immediately investigate the demolition work in Shi County! The corruption involved must be dealt with severely and strictly. Especially this demolition station. I suspect this is very likely a 'corruption case'!"
Sun Wanghai couldn't help but laugh after hearing this and said, "Don't wait for the live broadcast to end, let the Discipline Inspection Commission arrest them now."
Father Sun smiled and nodded, "This mayor can't sit still anymore."
Barrage:
What about you?
[Look up this mayor.]
The mayor wouldn't embezzle money over such a small matter.
[Yes, the mayor doesn't care about this kind of small money.]
[This deputy director is pretty good, he actually gets things done when he's paid!]
[Yes, it's much better than those corrupt officials who take money but don't do anything.]
On TV, Jiang Ningyue nodded slightly. She felt that the matter was over. She estimated that the group of people would be dealt with in the next two days. After all, how could those people get away with making the mayor lose face in front of the whole province and the entire network?
"Governor Wu Rui, what do you think about this matter?"
Wu Rui picked up the microphone and said, "A county demolition office has a very small scope and limited authority. However, the more grassroots the unit, the more closely it is connected to the lives of ordinary people. This can give nearby residents the illusion that bribes can get things done that are illegal or even illegal."
Barrage: [Isn’t it? ]
[Under normal circumstances, you have nowhere to give gifts.]
Giving gifts is a science. If a stranger walks in and offers money, how could anyone dare to accept it?
[Director Zhang dared to accept it.]
Director Zhang is a real character.
[This guy is indeed too bold and too low-class.]
Wu Rui continued, "This will have an extremely negative impact on the local area! Many people will lose trust in the government! Mayor Mingzhe just mentioned asking the Discipline Inspection Commission to investigate this demolition site. This is a very good idea. Various evidence shows that corruption does exist here. I also hope that the staff can raise their awareness and vigilance to prevent this problem from happening again."
Jiang Ningyue nodded, "Now, please let the jury vote."
Soon, the 30 judges began voting.
Among them, 17 votes were satisfied and 13 votes were dissatisfied.
Jiang Ningyue: "Anyone who is dissatisfied with the vote would like to speak?"
Several people immediately raised their hands, and Jiang Ningyue chose a provincial People's Congress representative.
"After seeing the news just now, I was extremely angry. How could the deputy director of a small demolition agency have such absolute control? Why did higher-level supervision suddenly fail at this moment? I believe that the higher-level supervisory authorities are also to blame for this matter. Did no one complain or report the demolition process? When complaints and reports were received, did the relevant departments conduct investigations? I believe that in addition to investigating the demolition agency, the higher-level authorities should also be held accountable for their failure to supervise. A small grassroots demolition agency may seem to have little power, but it directly affects the interests of thousands of households. Once supervision is lost and power is abused, the harm and cost to both individuals and society will be extremely heavy."
There was thunderous applause at the scene.
