Chapter 1224

Although Duan Mantang was all-powerful in Qingxi County, he didn't dare to kill people openly. Xu Yufu wanted to protect Jiang Chaoyang's safety, which was still doable.

The Provincial Public Security Department reacted very quickly. At six o'clock that afternoon, the inspection team sent by the Provincial Public Security Department arrived in Qingxi County. There were five members in the inspection team, led by Wan Yimin, the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission and Inspector General of the Provincial Public Security Department, and Jiang's father also came in the same car with them.

This reaction was quite fast. Even if Jiang's father came to the gate of the Provincial Public Security Department to cry out for justice at twelve o'clock, and even if they drove very fast to Qingxi County, taking only three or four hours, then the series of actions from their decision to establish the inspection team to their departure only took more than two hours.

Among this, of course, was the driving force of Lu Zhenghong. If it weren't for his pushing from behind, the work efficiency of the Public Security Department couldn't have been so fast, and it was more likely that Jiang's father's crying out for justice would have been ignored.

The Provincial Public Security Department's actions were so fast that the officials of Qingxi County also started to wonder. What was the situation? Why did the Provincial Public Security Department send an inspection team here?

Wondering was wondering, but since the Provincial Public Security Department had sent people, Qingxi County Party Secretary Duan Mantang still had to personally host a banquet for the people from the Provincial Public Security Department.

Duan Mantang personally welcomed Wan Yimin to the County Party Committee Guesthouse, had the guesthouse arrange a banquet, and then arranged rooms for Wan Yimin and his party.

The banquet arranged by the County Party Secretary was naturally prepared very quickly. In less than half an hour, a table of delicious dishes was served.

Duan Mantang laughed and invited the inspection team to the table. He personally poured a glass of wine for Wan Yimin. Wan Yimin didn't refuse his glass of wine either, with a smile on his face, bowing to him, which made Duan Mantang feel a little relieved.

Duan Mantang picked up his wine glass and said, "Secretary Wan, I don't know what business the Public Security Department has in sending an inspection team to our county?"

Wan Yimin drank a glass of wine with Duan Mantang and then said leisurely, "Nothing special. The province has been inspecting the police style and discipline of the whole province during this period, and has sent many inspection teams to various cities and counties. Sending an inspection team to Qingxi County was also decided long ago."

Duan Mantang nodded and said, "Oh, then welcome the leaders of the Provincial Public Security Department to our Qingxi County to guide our work. Minda, you must cooperate well with Secretary Wan's work."

Duan Mantang's latter sentence was addressed to Cui Minda, the County Political and Legal Committee Secretary and Public Security Bureau Chief. Cui Minda nodded quickly and said, "Secretary Duan, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate well with Secretary Wan's work."

Although Cui Minda said so, he still felt a bit unsure. He was a person in the public security system, so he naturally knew that Wan Yimin was the famous "Black-faced Old Bao" of the Public Security Department. Since he personally brought the inspection team to Qingxi County, the matter couldn't be that simple.

If it were just ordinary work to inspect police style and discipline, it would be impossible for Wan Yimin to personally lead the team. Any deputy division chief could be sent.

Cui Minda also picked up his wine glass and said to Wan Yimin, "Secretary Wan, I toast you!"

Wan Yimin picked up his wine glass, drank a sip casually, and put it down. Of course, Cui Minda didn't dare to say anything, and he still finished his wine in one gulp.

Wan Yimin said slowly, "By the way, a member of the public went to the Public Security Department today to reflect on some problems of your Qingxi County Public Security Bureau. Therefore, the leaders of the department also instructed us to investigate this matter, and I hope you can cooperate."

Duan Mantang and Cui Minda were shocked. They looked at each other, and Cui Minda asked, "Secretary Wan, who went to the Public Security Department to reflect on our problems?"

Wan Yimin said, "This comrade is a retired old comrade. He also came with us today. Now he is in a room upstairs."

Cui Minda said, "Is he from our Qingxi County?"

Now, what Duan Mantang and Cui Minda feared most was people from Qingxi County going to the province to file complaints. For this reason, they had carried out strict monitoring of the professional petitioners in the county, especially Weng Guoying, who was their most key monitoring object.

Wan Yimin shook his head and said, "He is not from your Qingxi County."

Duan Mantang and Cui Minda were obviously relieved. As long as he wasn't from Qingxi County, the problem wouldn't be big.

Wan Yimin added, "This old comrade's surname is Jiang."

Surname Jiang? This surname touched the nerves of Duan and Cui again. Duan Mantang asked subconsciously, "Which Jiang?"

Wan Yimin said with a half-smile, "It's the Jiang of Jiang Taigong. Jiang Taigong fishing, the willing take the bait. Secretary Duan should have heard this sentence, right?"

Cold sweat broke out on Duan Mantang's forehead. He smiled apologetically, "Secretary Wan is knowledgeable. I have heard this sentence."

Wan Yimin said leisurely, "This old comrade surnamed Jiang went to the gate of the Public Security Department to cry out for justice, saying that his son is a reporter in the province who came to your Qingxi County for an interview. He doesn't know if he offended your Public Security Bureau, but he was framed by your Public Security Bureau, saying he solicited a prostitute, arrested him, and wanted to detain him for fifteen days. Even if he paid the fine, they wouldn't release him, and his request to visit was also rejected by you. Is there such a thing?"

Duan Mantang and Cui Minda couldn't help but sweat profusely. This was truly fearing what would come. How could this father of the reporter surnamed Jiang invite the inspection team of the Public Security Department? They had investigated in advance that Jiang Chaoyang's family didn't have any hard connections, which was why they took action. Otherwise, they would have been more cautious about this matter.

If Jiang Chaoyang had hard connections, he wouldn't have been sent by the "Hudong Daily" to the "Jiangcheng City Daily," and he wouldn't have been unable to mix into an official position for so many years.

Duan Mantang and Cui Minda knew very well that in the officialdom, people like this wouldn't have any powerful people to help them when something happened. Moreover, Duan Mantang himself had connections in the "Hudong Daily" agency. He had put in a lot of effort to let the "Jiangcheng City Daily" not manage Jiang Chaoyang's matter and not come forward for this matter.

And they had already arranged that after Jiang Chaoyang's detention period expired, the "Jiangcheng City Daily" would fire Jiang Chaoyang.

In the nineties, the charge of soliciting a prostitute was enough to get Jiang Chaoyang fired. The issue of style in these years was still very serious, and soliciting a prostitute was defined as moral corruption.

However, why did Wan Yimin bring the inspection team to Qingxi to stand up for the Jiang family now? What went wrong in the middle?

Cui Minda knew that Jiang's father came to Qingxi to visit Jiang Chaoyang, and it was also his arrangement not to let him visit Jiang Chaoyang. If he visited Jiang Chaoyang and Jiang Chaoyang told him some inside information, that would be trouble. It wouldn't be possible to arrange another charge of soliciting a prostitute for Jiang's father and arrest him, right?

After Jiang's father left the police station yesterday, the police station also sent someone to keep an eye on Jiang's father and didn't find any abnormal situation. Early this morning, Jiang's father got on a long-distance bus and returned to Jiangcheng, which made Cui Minda feel relieved, thinking that the Jiang family had resigned themselves to their fate. Who knew that such a big turn would appear in this matter this afternoon?

This matter happened suddenly. Facing Wan Yimin's eyes, which were gentle but could vaguely see the edge, Duan Mantang and Cui Minda were already sweating through their clothes, not knowing what to say.

However, they still had to answer Wan Yimin's question. Of course, this matter wasn't suitable for Duan Mantang to answer. Cui Minda spoke up: "Secretary Wan, this matter might have been handled by the police station below. During this period, they have been grasping public security relatively tightly, and there have been many arrests for soliciting prostitutes. Could this be a private revenge by the family of the arrested prostitute? Secretary Wan, you also know that the work resistance of grassroots public security departments is still relatively large."

Wan Yimin nodded and said, "I also came from the grassroots. Such things do exist, and the grassroots comrades are indeed not easy. I also believe that most of the grassroots comrades are good. However, since the leaders of the Provincial Department have spoken, we still have to investigate." ===== CHAPTER 1226 =====
