Chapter 348

Chen Hongfu cleared his throat with a serious expression and continued to announce that the election results were true and valid, and that comrades Su Xinghui and Liu Wu were elected as Deputy Township Heads of the Meng Hu Ling Township People's Government.

Warm applause broke out, and the representatives' eyes were all on Su Xinghui, their eyes full of expectation.

Chen Hongfu continued, "Please invite comrades Su Xinghui and Liu Wu to the stage to speak."

Su Xinghui and Liu Wu yielded to each other. Liu Wu insisted that Su Xinghui speak first, so Su Xinghui followed suit.

He walked to the podium, and Chen Hongfu smiled and gave him the microphone. He sat in front of the microphone and sorted out his thoughts.

In fact, during the election process, Su Xinghui didn't feel nervous at all. He seemed to have entered a wonderful state of wandering outside the world, and it wasn't until Chen Hongfu announced his election just now that he woke up from that state.

This state of wandering outside the world made him feel that his brain was exceptionally active now, and his state was excellent.

A few seconds later, Su Xinghui spoke: "Leaders, representatives of the township People's Congress, thank you for your trust in me and for voting for me. In Meng Hu Ling Township, I have worked for more than half a year, and I have deep feelings for this hot land. Please rest assured, since you have elected me, I will definitely do my best to work."

"I solemnly promise here that in 1993, I will strive to double the annual per capita income of Meng Hu Ling Township on the basis of 1992. If I can't reach it, I don't need you to say anything, I will resign myself!"

Warm applause broke out under the podium. Su Xinghui stood up and bowed deeply to all the People's Congress representatives, and the applause became even warmer.

Su Xinghui's inauguration speech was only a few sentences, without any flowery language, but just because he dared to promise to double the per capita income of the whole township, the representatives were willing to applaud him for a whole day.

People's Congress representatives are essentially ordinary people. What do they desire most? They also desire to live a good life, but how can they live a good life? Naturally, their income must increase. Now Su Xinghui promised to double the per capita income at once, so how could the representatives not be excited?

If it were someone else, they might doubt whether he was bragging, but they didn't doubt Su Xinghui's words at all, because last year Su Xinghui had already proven his ability with practical actions.

Next, Liu Wu also took the stage to deliver his inauguration speech. Perhaps influenced by Su Xinghui, Liu Wu's speech was also very short and ended in a few minutes.

Su Xinghui was successfully elected, and the relevant leaders of the Shangjun County Party Committee and Meng Hu Ling Township government breathed a long sigh of relief, but there were still many sequelae to this matter.

Multiple pieces of evidence pointed out that Wang Yongchun, Peng Kehong, and others openly made connections among the People's Congress representatives of Meng Hu Ling Township and conducted bribery. This was an act of openly obstructing the election and sabotaging the election order.

For such behavior, it must naturally be handled seriously. Now that the election is over, it is time to handle it.

However, it is a bit difficult to grasp the extent to which this matter should be handled. Everyone knows that if you keep looking for clues upwards, you might touch some people in the county.

If Shan Guozhi was still strong, it would be fine to investigate thoroughly, but now Ji Tao has basically controlled the Standing Committee, so it is necessary to be as stable as possible. Pointing the finger at Shan Guozhi does not have much practical significance.

Even if this matter was instigated by Shan Guozhi, he would not be stupid enough to say anything straightforward; it must be all hints. And Jin Taihe also said that he didn't know the person who found him at all, just an ordinary social youth. It is not easy to drag this to Shan Guozhi.

Therefore, the county decided that the handling of this matter should be controlled within a relatively small scope, preferably within the scope of Meng Hu Ling Township.

Meng Hu Ling Township soon handled the two main parties involved, Wang Yongchun and Peng Kehong.

Wang Yongchun lost his mind, but it was only for a moment. After Lei Ming sent him home, he woke up.

Subsequently, Wang Yongchun and Peng Kehong were detained by the township police station, and they were interrogated.

At first, they denied it in every possible way, but as one witness testimony after another was placed in front of them, their psychological defense collapsed, and they admitted the fact of buying People's Congress representatives and wanting to conduct bribery.

Lei Ming received instructions from the township government and did not dig deep into the case. This case was handled within Meng Hu Ling Township.

In the end, Wang Yongchun and Peng Kehong were expelled from public office due to serious violations of discipline and law, and were punished with seven days of administrative detention and fines.

For them, this is already a relatively light punishment. Acts of sabotaging and interfering with elections, if the circumstances are serious, can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, and if the circumstances are minor, they should also be punished with administrative detention and fines.

The reason why they were not severely punished was also because the County Party Committee wanted to start from stability and did not want to make things too big. Anyway, the most important goal had been achieved, and how these small fish and shrimp were handled was already harmless.

As for Wang Yongchun and Peng Kehong, they became the laughingstock of Meng Hu Ling Township. Peng Kehong jumped around repeatedly, playing an inglorious role, and this time he finally paid the price. ===== CHAPTER 350 =====
