Chapter 462

Discipline Inspection Commission Deputy Secretary Ma Qiming stepped forward and said coldly, he never indulges these lower-level cadres.

Even in his eyes, every cadre has some problems, more or less; it just depends whether this cadre has any more serious problems exposed.

Or put another way, whether a leader deliberately investigates; otherwise, there would be no cadre whose problems could not be found.

Cui Mingjiu, who was about to perform a deep-water bomb for everyone, suddenly changed his face upon hearing this.

Since Su Yang drove away, they came here to eat and drink; for most of the afternoon their phones were basically left aside, even if kept in their pockets they couldn't hear calls, otherwise it would be impossible for the Discipline Inspection Commission people to be right in front of them before he reacted.

Su Yang simply threw the matter to the county Discipline Inspection Commission.

"Secretary Ma, when did you arrive? You didn't even say a word before coming."

"If there is any work-related matter, just tell me directly, and I'll go report to the county."

Although he doesn't regard county cadres at all, especially bureau heads, deputy department heads, etc., but this is not the case.

But there are exceptions, such as the deputy head of the Organization Department, the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission; once these people appear before him, it's either great fortune or imminent disaster.

Especially this Deputy Secretary Ma, who has deeply gained Secretary Fang's trust; previously he was merely a section chief, only recently promoted.

This time, Secretary Fang also personally sent this Secretary Ma over.

Ma Qiming said, "How dare I let Township Chief Cui report work to me? My rank is far from sufficient."

Anyone can hear the sarcasm in those words; if it were before, Cui Mingjiu might have put on a smile, but now he just wants to scold them outright.

But now it's different; Su Yang went to the county, and immediately the Discipline Inspection Commission people came; this cause-and-effect relationship, if he can't figure it out, then he's got his head stuck in his ass.

"Secretary Ma, I will do my best to cooperate; otherwise, let's first go to the office to talk, and then…"

Ma Qiming gave Cui Mingjiu no face at all; when he came, Secretary Fang had clearly instructed not to give any face, and to use measures immediately if he wasn't honest.

So accompanying him were several members of the Special Police Team.

"No need, please Township Chief Cui come with us immediately; the car is waiting outside."

Upon hearing this, Cui Mingjiu's face turned even paler; this gives him no room to maneuver, and judging by the situation, going to the Discipline Inspection Commission this time will surely not end well for him.

He still wanted to say something or struggle a bit, but the Discipline Inspection Commission staff had already stepped forward and handcuffed him.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? I was merely invited for questioning; you can't treat me like this, what you're doing is illegal."

Ma Qiming said coldly, "Whether it's illegal or not, we know better than you; if you want to find someone to call, we'll give you the chance."

"Once you get to the Discipline Inspection Commission, Secretary Fang will personally give you a chance to call, and even help you find whoever you want to contact."

"And you others, immediately return to your work posts; before receiving orders from superiors, none of you may leave."

Just as Cui Mingjiu was being shoved into the vehicle, Lu Kai was also taken out by another team of Discipline Inspection Commission staff from the township government office.

Compared to Cui Mingjiu, Lu Kai wasn't so panicked; after all, in his view, in Xiushui Township he had nothing to gain except improper relations with a few women, and otherwise he'd gotten no illicit gains.

Strictly speaking, corruption is not involved; at most it's a lifestyle issue, and nothing will come of it.

But Cui Mingjiu is different; if he goes this time, he's likely not to come back; to be precise, he feels not a trace of panic but rather a hint of anticipation and longing.

If Cui Mingjiu doesn't come back from this trip, who will oversee the township's work? Certainly him.

At the township level, there has never been a case where both the secretary and the township head are absent from their posts simultaneously.

After Cui Mingjiu goes in, even if his lackeys band together, Lu Kai won't regard them.

As the township Party Committee secretary, he is routinely sidelined and lacks authority entirely because of Cui Mingjiu's presence; if Cui Mingjiu weren't there, the others would not even be on the same level as her.

Seeing Lu Kai already placed in the vehicle, the staff noticed his mouth slightly twitching upward, making them wonder if they were seeing things.

He's about to go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to sit on the cold bench, about to be investigated. Anyone who could still show such an expression in this situation must truly never have seen Xiushui Township; it really produces talent.

At the police station, Xiang Donglai was about to interrogate Ma Ergui when Bureau Chief Lan arrived.

"Transfer all suspects related to the Su Yang incident to the county Public Security Bureau, to be personally interrogated by its personnel."

"You should come with us as well; this matter has become quite big, and some of your township's affairs may be exposed, so staying in the township is not appropriate."

Bureau Chief Lan told Xiang Donglai, because he could already imagine the storm at the county Party Standing Committee meeting.

Xiang Donglai cautiously asked, "Bureau Chief Lan, does this mean the county's top leaders have started to intervene in this matter?"

Bureau Chief Lan said, "It's not just inquiry; they've already begun strict handling. Your township's secretary and head are likely to be removed this time, and all township government staff will be questioned by the Discipline Inspection Commission."

"I heard that in this incident you promptly stepped forward to help Director Su; for you this is a great fortune, you must seize it well."

"I estimate that after you reach the county seat, County Magistrate Zhou and Secretary Fang will meet you; by then you'd better have an idea of what to say."

At this moment, Xiang Donglai's heart is already churning with stormy waves; he knows Su Yang has been impacted and will certainly attract county attention, but he didn't expect it to provoke such a big reaction.

All township government staff will be questioned; this is probably the first time in Xiushui Township's history.

Bai Yutang, Gao Haisheng, and others, as if their fathers had died, were left under the supervision of the joint Discipline Inspection Commission and Public Security Bureau team in Xiushui Township, and returned to their respective offices.

Next, they will face individual questioning; if the circumstances are relatively serious, they will also be sent to the county.

Three hours later, Zhou Hongtao's secretary came in to report, "Secretary Zhou, Lu Kai and Cui Mingjiu have already been sent to the Discipline Inspection Commission."

"The relevant suspects were also sent to the Public Security Bureau."

Only then did Zhou Hongtao let out a slight sigh of relief; he feared that if this idiot Cui Mingjiu didn't cooperate with the Discipline Inspection Commission's investigation and caused more trouble, even immortals couldn't save him.

Although he has no interest relationship with Cui Mingjiu, if such a thing really happened, he might well get punished.

"Comrades, you've also heard that the township Party Committee secretary Lu Kai and township chief Cui Mingjiu have already been summoned."

"I want to personally participate in this interrogation; County Magistrate Zhou, Secretary Fang, what do you two think?"
