This long process of arrest and trial has finally come to an end. He knew that this was not only a punishment for Tian Guofu personally, but also a defense of social fairness and justice.
After the judge finished delivering the verdict, bailiffs stepped forward and took Tian Guofu away.
As Tian Guofu was being led away, he suddenly turned back to look at his family members in the gallery, his eyes filled with guilt and helplessness. Then, he was escorted by bailiffs and slowly walked out of the courtroom.
Outside the courtroom, the sun shone brightly, but Tian Guofu could no longer feel any warmth. He was put into a prison van and driven to the place that would determine his fate for the next two years.
184. An official document from the Ministry of Personnel announced that Lin Yunfei had been promoted to vice governor.
184. An official document from the Ministry of Personnel announced that Lin Yunfei had been promoted to vice governor.
Tian Guofu was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, and Qi Tongwei was implicated and arrested by the National Security Bureau after being implicated by Ding Yizhen.
This resulted in the complete disruption of the political landscape of Handong Province.
Three members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, including the most important one, Wu Chunlin, the head of the Provincial Organization Department, were suspended from their duties and investigated by the special investigation team.
For Sha Ruijin, these days have been like a nightmare.
Li Dakang's betrayal was Lin Yunfei's fatal blow. Tian Guofu was arrested.
Sha Ruijin's situation has become precarious. He has lost control of the entire provincial party committee.
The downfall of Tian Guofu has led to the vacancy of the provincial discipline inspection commission secretary position. Most importantly, it means losing Tian Guofu's vote.
This means that Sha Ruijin has completely failed in the political struggle and has become a puppet.
Ring ring!
At that moment, the red secure phone on the desk rang.
"Hello, this is... Sha Ruijin." Sha Ruijin's voice sounded very tired.
The voice of my father-in-law, Old Sun, came from the other end of the phone, carrying an unquestionable authority: "Ruijin, the situation is very complicated right now. You need to keep things stable. The organization has taken note of the situation in Handong Province and will send new, capable cadres to assist you as soon as possible."
"Your primary task right now is to stabilize the morale of the provincial party committee leadership and not to lose your composure."
Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin's spirits lifted. Although his heart remained heavy, his father-in-law's words gave him some confidence. "Dad, I understand. It's just that the situation is spiraling out of control too quickly, and I'm worried..."
Old Sun interrupted him, "Worrying is useless. You need to show the courage of a provincial party secretary. Remember, you have the organization behind you."
After the call ended, Sha Ruijin took a deep breath and began to think about how to deal with the situation ahead.
. . . . . . .
At the same time, the Ministry of Personnel also noticed the appalling situation of systemic corruption in Handong Province.
Ding Yizhen's arrest implicated three members of the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, including the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Minister of the Provincial Organization Department.
These two key positions.
Inside the Forbidden City, within its red walls, in the Ministry of Personnel's meeting room.
Lin Bing, the Minister of Personnel, was dressed in military uniform, with three gleaming five-pointed stars on his shoulders as his rank insignia.
boom!
"Comrades, a systemic corruption scandal has broken out in Handong Province. Three members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee are implicated."
"This is heartbreaking." Lin Bing said solemnly, slamming his right hand on the table.
The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became heavy, and everyone fell silent, waiting for Lin Bing to continue. Lin Bing looked around at everyone present and continued, "The situation in Handong Province is extremely serious. This not only concerns the local political environment, but also the overall situation of our country's anti-corruption efforts."
"We cannot allow the situation to deteriorate further and let it continue unchecked. We must take decisive measures to stabilize the situation in Handong Province as soon as possible."
A senior official from the Ministry of Personnel frowned and said, "Minister Lin, the provincial party committee of Handong Province is practically paralyzed. Who would be the most suitable person to send to take charge?"
Lin Bing pondered for a moment and said, "This person must have enough prestige and political wisdom to quickly stabilize the situation in a complex situation."
"Sha Ruijin is a complete waste! The provincial discipline inspection commission secretary is actually laundering money. His whole family is involved."
"We need to consider all aspects comprehensively, so that we can both deter those corrupt elements and unite other cadres to get the work in Handong Province back on track."
Liu Ning, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, looked around with a solemn expression and said, "Moreover, time is of the essence. Handong Province is like a powder keg that could explode at any moment. We must send people there as soon as possible, otherwise the situation may deteriorate further."
Lin Bing nodded and said, "That's right, time waits for no one. Everyone should go back and think carefully about the selection. We'll have another meeting tomorrow to discuss it in detail."
Everyone nodded and then left the meeting room one after another. Lin Bing sat in his chair, a hint of worry in his eyes. He knew all too well that the problems in Handong Province were far more complicated than he had imagined.
Jingle Bell! !
Just then, a phone call came in.
"Lin Bing, come to the cabinet." Lin Jianguo's voice was steady and powerful.
Lin Bing snapped out of his daze, holding his phone in his hand: "Okay, Uncle."
Lin Jianguo shouted, "How many times have I told you? You have to use your job title when you're at work!"
"Yes, Mr. Ge."
. . . . .
Upon arriving at the cabinet, Lin Bing met Lin Jianguo.
Lin Jianguo sat behind his large desk, his eyes sharp. He gestured for Lin Bing to sit down, then slowly began to speak: "I have a general understanding of the situation in Handong Province from the reports. This is going to be a tough battle."
Lin Bing nodded, his expression grave: "Your Excellency, the problem in Handong Province is indeed thorny. Three members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee are involved in the case, and the Provincial Party Committee is almost paralyzed. We urgently need someone who can stabilize the situation."
Lin Jianguo tapped the table lightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Although Zhao Anbang is in a difficult situation now, he has a certain foundation in Handong Province, and the organization is also paying attention to this matter. We cannot give up on him easily. However, we do need to give him some strong support."
Lin Bing frowned slightly: "You mean, send another person over to assist him?"
Lin Jianguo nodded: "Yes, this person is crucial. He must have enough political wisdom and skill to quickly turn the tide in a complex situation, and at the same time, he must be able to unite Sha Ruijin and other cadres to jointly deal with the current crisis."
Lin Bing thought for a moment and said, "I do have someone in mind. He is experienced, has superb political wisdom, and has unique insights into handling complex issues."
Lin Jianguo's eyes lit up: "Oh? Tell me about it."
"Zhao Dagong is currently serving as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He previously served as the Vice Governor and Executive Vice Governor of Zhongjiang Province."
Lin Bing then laid out his thoughts in detail.
After listening, Lin Jianguo nodded slightly: "This candidate is good, but we still need to further assess his abilities and willingness. Go back and make arrangements as soon as possible; I want to talk to him personally."
"By the way, Qi Tongwei, the Public Security Bureau Chief of Handong Province, has been dismissed. The position of Public Security Bureau Chief is now vacant."
"In addition, Wang Zheng, the executive vice governor of Handong Province, was also dismissed."
"I've read the report. This executive vice governor actually went to the PC (presumably a government agency); it's utterly disorganized and undisciplined," Lin Jianguo said, his face darkening, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Lin Bing slowly opened his mouth and tentatively asked, "My suggestion is to appoint a higher-ranking vice governor. Let Yunfei go a step further and be promoted to vice governor and director of the public security department."
After listening, Lin Jianguo tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thought for a moment, and said, "Yunfei is capable, but his rapid promotion might cause controversy among others."
Lin Bing quickly explained, "Your Excellency, although Yunfei is young, he is decisive and has demonstrated strong leadership skills in his previous work. Moreover, the position of Director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province is currently vacant, and there is an urgent need for someone who can quickly stabilize the public security system."
"Lin Yunfei has some experience in the public security system. Letting him concurrently serve as the director of the Public Security Department will allow us to open up new opportunities more quickly."
Lin Bing said with a serious expression, "Besides, Your Excellency, Tian Guofu's downfall was all thanks to Yunfei."
“Wang Zheng, the executive vice governor of PC, was also caught by chance when Yun Fei led the anti-gang campaign.”
Lin Jianguo stood up and paced around the office before stopping and saying, "That's true, but we still need to be cautious. Here's what you'll do: have someone conduct a thorough investigation of Yunfei."
“Just because he’s my grandson doesn’t mean I can show him such favoritism.”
"At the same time, we should come up with solutions for other vacant positions in Handong Province as soon as possible."
Lin Bing nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Your Excellency, I'll arrange it immediately. However, the provincial party committee leadership in Handong is currently in a state of panic. Shouldn't we first send out some positive signals to stabilize everyone's emotions?"
Lin Jianguo sat back down in his chair and said, "Okay, but we need to be careful about how we do it. We can't let those corrupt officials think they have an opportunity to take advantage of us, nor can we let the officials think we're just putting on a show. We need to show them our determination and actions to solve the problem."
Lin Bing felt reassured and said, "Then I'll go back and arrange the work, and try to come up with the assessment results and job adjustment plan as soon as possible."
Lin Jianguo waved his hand: "Go ahead, time is of the essence, Handong Province cannot continue to be in chaos."
Lin Bing agreed, and the two then had an in-depth discussion on the issues of Handong Province until nightfall, when this important meeting came to an end.
. . . . . . .
The next day, the Ministry of Personnel issued an official document to Handong Province.
[Promotion of a Ministry of Personnel official to a deputy provincial-level position. Comrade Lin Yunfei has been appointed as the Vice Governor of Handong Province and concurrently as the Director of the Handong Provincial Public Security Department. The public notice period is 7 days. The leadership of Handong Province is requested to ensure the proper implementation of this public notice.]
The issuance of this official document caused a huge uproar within the provincial party committee of Handong Province. The already anxious members were now even more preoccupied with their own thoughts. Sha Ruijin looked at the document, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He was surprised by Lin Yunfei's rapid rise to power, yet he also realized that this might be a move by the organization to stabilize the situation in Handong Province.
Sha Ruijin convened a meeting of the provincial party committee members, the atmosphere of which was somber. He cleared his throat and said, "Comrades, the official document from the Ministry of Personnel has been issued. Comrade Lin Yunfei will serve as the Vice Governor and Director of the Public Security Bureau of our Handong Province. This is an organizational decision, and we must resolutely implement it."
Li Dakang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, frowned and said, "Secretary Sha, isn't it a bit hasty for Comrade Lin Yunfei to take on such an important position at such a young age? After all, the current situation in Handong Province is complicated, and we need an experienced veteran to oversee things."
Sha Ruijin glanced at him and said, "Since the organization has made such a decision, it must have its reasons."
"Although Comrade Lin Yunfei is young, he has demonstrated strong ability and courage in his previous work. Moreover, the position of Director of the Public Security Department is currently vacant, and there is an urgent need for someone who can quickly stabilize the public security system. Comrade Lin Yunfei has certain experience in the public security system, and appointing him to concurrently serve as Director of the Public Security Department is also to expedite the process."
Gao Yuliang, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, also expressed his opinion: "Secretary Sha, that is true, but the provincial party committee is already unstable. Will the arrival of Comrade Lin Yunfei cause some unnecessary conflicts and disputes?"
Sha Ruijin pondered for a moment and said, "We must prioritize the overall situation and not let personal gains or losses affect the development of the entire Handong Province. Comrade Lin Yunfei's arrival is to help us stabilize the situation and jointly cope with the current crisis. We should welcome him, not reject him."
After the meeting, Sha Ruijin sat alone in his office, thinking about the work ahead.
He knew that while Lin Yunfei's arrival would bring some changes, the problems in Handong Province went far beyond what (Li Li Zhao) had caused. He needed to adjust the provincial party committee leadership as soon as possible, uniting everyone to work together for the development of Handong Province.
At the same time, Lin Yunfei also received his appointment notice from the Ministry of Personnel. Looking at the document, he felt both excited and immense pressure.
A few days later, Lin Yunfei officially took office. He first convened a meeting of the public security system. At the meeting, he said with a serious expression and a firm tone: "Comrades, the public security system of Handong Province is currently facing unprecedented challenges, but we cannot be defeated by difficulties."
"Now that I, Lin Yunfei, have taken this position, I will fight alongside everyone to quickly stabilize the situation, crack down on all illegal and criminal activities, and restore a bright and clear world to Handong Province."
“I know that some colleagues may have doubts about me, after all, I am young and not very experienced. But I want to say that age and experience do not fully represent ability. In my previous work, I have also handled many complex cases and accumulated some experience.”
"Moreover, the organization chose me because they believe I am capable of this position and can lead everyone out of the predicament."
"From now on, we must strengthen internal management and rectify discipline and work style. We must not tolerate or condone those who violate laws and regulations or engage in passive resistance to work. At the same time, we must also strengthen cooperation and coordination with other departments to form a joint force to combat crime."
"I believe that as long as we are united, there are no difficulties we cannot overcome. The public security cause in Handong Province will surely usher in new development through our efforts. Let's work together and strive for the stability and prosperity of Handong Province!"
Lin Yunfei's remarks were powerful and resounding.
Thunderous applause filled the entire conference room.
185. Lin Yunfei established a secret task force, wielding absolute power over the Zhao family of Changwu.
