These words immediately caused an uproar in the conference room.
All the members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee looked at Qiao Ning with disbelief.
Has Secretary Qiao been placed under investigation?
Upon hearing this news, Qiao Ning's entire body went limp.
Was he placed under investigation?
Chapter 164 Li Dakang, County Magistrate of Jinshan
When I went to the clothes, I learned the name and the name.
The news of Qiao Ning being placed under investigation spread throughout the officialdom of Lincheng, causing a great sensation in the entire city.
From 90 to the present, Qiao Ning has served as the mayor of Lincheng City and the secretary of the Lincheng Municipal Party Committee. He enjoys great prestige in Lincheng.
At the same time that Qiao Ning was placed under investigation, Yuan Kangde was also arrested at Tianhua Coal Mine.
However, a small incident occurred during his arrest.
Wang Xin and his group do not belong to the Lincheng City Public Security Bureau, but to the Yantai City Public Security Bureau. According to regulations, they are not qualified to come to Lincheng to arrest people.
To make an arrest in Lincheng, one usually needs to notify the Lincheng Public Security Bureau, and the arrest can only be carried out with the assistance of the Lincheng Public Security Bureau.
So during the arrest of Yuan Kangde, in the chairman's office of Tianhua Coal Mine, Yuan Kangde pointed at Wang Xin and said...
"You have no right to arrest me. If you want me to call the Lincheng City Public Security Bureau, how about I call Director Qian of the Lincheng City Public Security Bureau and ask him if he wants to send someone to arrest me?"
Yuan Kangde, that idiot, revealed his connection with Qian Guoxin, the director of the Lincheng City Public Security Bureau, with this statement.
In a way, they unwittingly tricked Qian Guoxin.
Faced with Yuan Kangde's clamor, Wang Xin gave a cold smile.
“I know your backer is Qiao Ning. You’ve been swaggering around in Lincheng because he’s your brother-in-law. But let me tell you today, we’ve already made thorough preparations before we dared to come and arrest you.”
"Do you think Qiao Ning can still protect you? Hmph, by now the comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection are probably already going to the Municipal Party Committee to find him. Qiao Ning is finished, and so are you."
"Take him away."
Wang Xin shouted loudly, and two comrades from the First Brigade of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Yantai City Bureau immediately went around the desk and pressed Yuan Kangde down on the desk.
At this moment, Ma Kui whispered a question in Wang Xin's ear.
"Where are you taking him?"
"The situation is now clear. Chief Prosecutor Ji said that Yuan Kangde should be taken directly to the Municipal Procuratorate for interrogation."
The Lincheng City Public Security Bureau is no longer trusted, especially after what Yuan Kangde just said. Wang Xin will definitely report this to Secretary Yan Gangfeng later.
It's possible that the provincial discipline inspection commission's investigation team will launch another investigation into Qian Guoxin.
"I understand."
Yuan Kangde was taken away from the chairman's office in full view of everyone.
Qiao Ning's case has caused quite a stir, and at this crucial moment, the Lincheng City Public Security Bureau has remained silent.
When Yuan Kangde was taken away, not a single person from the Lincheng City Public Security Bureau showed up.
At this moment, Qian Guoxin couldn't wait to sever ties with Qiao Ning. If he sent someone from the Municipal Bureau to pick up Yuan Kangde at this time...
Then he's the idiot.
This is something that Qian Guoxin would absolutely never do.
Regardless of whether Qiao Ning will implicate him later, he must remain inactive for now.
Therefore, Wang Xin and his group arrived at the Lincheng City Procuratorate by car without any hindrance.
Ji Changming and Qin Siyuan had been waiting at the entrance of the procuratorate for a long time. When they saw Wang Xin escorting Yuan Kangde out of the car, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
They weren't waiting idly at the procuratorate; they had been keeping a close eye on the movements of the Lincheng City Public Security Bureau. As soon as the Lincheng City Public Security Bureau sent someone to Tianhua Coal Mine, they would rush there immediately.
Fortunately, the thing I was worried about didn't happen, and everything went smoothly.
When Wang Xin walked up to Ji Changming and Qin Siyuan, he shook hands with them, and Ji Changming took the initiative to speak.
"Captain Wang, thank you for your help this time. Now that Yuan Kangde has arrived at the procuratorate, I'm here and there, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"Inspector Ji, Director Qin, I'm handing that person over to you."
"Don't worry! I've booked a few rooms for you at the procuratorate's guesthouse. You've worked hard these past few days, so go and get some rest first. We'll have a celebration banquet after the case is cleared up."
Since Qiao Ning and Yuan Kangde have not yet confessed, it is unacceptable to open champagne at the halfway point. The celebration banquet can only be held after the dust has settled.
At this time, Secretary Gong and his entourage also arrived in Jinshan County.
Members of the Jinshan County Party Committee waited collectively at the toll station to welcome Secretary Gong and his delegation.
This time, Secretary Gong's approach was completely different from the one in Lincheng.
When Qiao Ning welcomed Secretary Gong that time, Secretary Gong did not show up at all; it was all handled by Qi Tongwei and Qiao Ning.
This time, however, Secretary Gong took the initiative to get out of the car and meet with the comrades from the Jinshan County Party Committee.
The purpose was very simple: Secretary Gong did this not for anyone else, but only for Sun Liancheng.
The position of Party Secretary of Jinshan County was actually quite turbulent at the beginning of this year.
The most likely candidate for this position was Li Dakang, the current Deputy Secretary of the Jinshan County Party Committee and County Head.
Sun Liancheng was parachuted into Jinshan County and became the county party secretary.
This move was naturally the result of the influence behind Secretary Gong.
However, Li Dakang is not without connections in the province.
Zhao Lichun, now a member of the Standing Committee of the Hanzhong Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, is Li Dakang's biggest backer.
Because Li Dakang used to be Zhao Lichun's secretary.
A member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee plays a significant role within the committee. Furthermore, Li Dakang had served in Jinshan County for several years. If it weren't for Sun Liancheng's interference, Li Dakang would certainly be the Secretary of the Jinshan County Party Committee right now.
Therefore, after Sun Liancheng arrived in Jinshan, his relationship with Li Dakang was not harmonious.
Li Dakang was very resistant to the appointment of this parachuted county party secretary, because from his perspective, it was Sun Liancheng who had taken his position as county party secretary.
Sun Liancheng served as Secretary Gong's secretary for seven years, and their relationship was extremely special.
Li Dakang wanted to bully Sun Liancheng, but he didn't even consider who was standing behind Sun Liancheng.
Behind you is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.
However, behind Sun Liancheng stood the powerful figure of the Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee.
After Secretary Gong got out of the car, he came to Sun Liancheng. Sun Liancheng quickly reached out his hands and shook hands with Secretary Gong tightly.
"Liancheng, how's your work in Jinshan County?"
Sun Liancheng's face was full of smiles.
"Secretary, thank you for your concern. My work in Jinshan County is going well and is progressing steadily."
"It's good to be cautious. Jinshan County has hundreds of thousands of people, and their happiness rests on your shoulders as the county party secretary!"
"Please rest assured, Secretary, I will certainly live up to the expectations of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, and I will also live up to the expectations of the 650,000 people of Jinshan County."
"Good good."
The three consecutive "good" comments left the members of the Jinshan County Party Committee with some feelings.
When he arrived in front of Li Dakang, Secretary Gong still had a smile on his face, but it was clear that the smile was not as warm as before.
The members of the Standing Committee of the Jinshan County Party Committee could clearly sense the shrewdness of this group of people.
Chapter 165 My Teacher Sun Liancheng
Regardless of how one evaluates Li Dakang, one thing that must be said is that he was very good at being an official.
This person is very smart, so Li Dakang understood the difference in Secretary Gong's attitude before and after, combined with the instructions from his old leader Zhao Lichun.
He's here to support Sun Liancheng.
How could a provincial party secretary not feel immense pressure standing in front of Li Dakang?
Not to mention, Sun Liancheng is the secretary of the Jinshan County Party Committee, and he is the leader of this team.
Ultimately, Li Dakang was only the second-in-command. In terms of rank, he was naturally a level below Sun Liancheng.
As long as Sun Liancheng has the means, he can use his position as the county party secretary to suppress Li Dakang.
However, Sun Liancheng has always regarded Secretary Gong as an elder. Why shouldn't an elder support his younger generation?
Others might want this kind of treatment, but they can't get it!
Sun Liancheng wasn't that foolish; he wouldn't refuse Secretary Gong's kind offer.
After meeting with the Jinshan County Party Committee leadership, Secretary Gong and Wen Qihang, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, boarded a minibus.
At this moment, Li Dakang came to Sun Liancheng's side and asked softly.
"Secretary Liancheng, the guesthouse has prepared a welcome banquet. Why don't we send Secretary Gong and the others over first?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Liancheng frowned and said in a very displeased tone.
"Didn't I tell you? When Secretary Gong comes to Jinshan, don't throw a big welcome banquet."
"But these are leaders from the provincial party committee after all. If we don't treat them well, wouldn't it make Jinshan County seem like we haven't taken good care of them? If the provincial party committee leaders are unhappy, it won't be a good thing for Jinshan County."
The members of the Jinshan County Party Committee standing committee standing nearby strongly agreed with Li Dakang's words.
If we don't treat the provincial leaders well, it will not only affect the development of Jinshan County, but more importantly, it will affect their official careers.
This Secretary Sun is still too young.
Therefore, at this time, the Standing Committee members agreed with Li Dakang.
Seeing that Li Dakang still dared to talk back, Sun Liancheng became even more unhappy.
“I know Secretary Gong very well. The welcome banquet you organized will only make him more unhappy. Get it canceled immediately. It’s utterly ridiculous.”
Upon hearing Sun Liancheng's words, the expressions on the faces of the members of the Jinshan County Party Committee changed again.
Yes! Secretary Sun is Secretary Gong's secretary, and he knows Secretary Gong's habits best.
There must be a reason why he wouldn't allow a welcome banquet.
If things really turn out like County Chief Li did, and that angers Secretary Gong, wouldn't that be like trying to flatter someone only to end up hurting them?
This County Chief Li is still not steady enough; he's too eager for quick success and instant benefits.
These county party committee standing committee members are all opportunists, swaying from side to side with the wind.
Sun Liancheng and Li Dakang are locked in a power struggle, and both have powerful backers. It would be inappropriate for them to openly side with either side, so the best approach is to remain neutral.
What does "neutrality" mean? It means they'll side with whoever wins.
Li Dakang was very unhappy with Sun Liancheng's criticism.
He was an extremely arrogant person, and even looked down on Sun Liancheng to some extent, believing that Sun Liancheng was just riding on Secretary Gong's coattails.
But he didn't even consider that he himself had also benefited from Zhao Lichun's power.
We all started as secretaries, so who's better than whom?
However, Sun Liancheng was, after all, the county party secretary, and he had a clear advantage over Li Dakang. Moreover, Sun Liancheng knew Secretary Gong too well, so Li Dakang knew that he was no match for Sun Liancheng on this issue.
So he had no choice but to back down and say something.
"Secretary Liancheng, what are your suggestions for arrangements?"
"Set up a table in the county committee's canteen. Don't make it too lavish, just keep it simple. Also, don't prepare any alcohol, as Secretary Gong doesn't drink at noon."
"Yes, I understand."
Li Dakang nodded, but this kind of thing was not something he, as the county head, could actually do; the director of the county party committee office was the one who actually carried it out.
In a clash between the two sides, Li Dakang suffered a silent loss.
The members of the Jinshan County Party Committee Standing Committee got into the car, and under their guidance, Secretary Gong's car entered Jinshan County and arrived at the Jinshan County Party Committee.
Besides Secretary Gong, the car also carried the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee and several other provincial leaders.
