Rebirth of Minister Qi

"What the hell? A temple charges 20,000 yuan for incense?"

Tian Guofu seemed to have found a treasure. He walked out from behind the desk and went to the side of the investigator.

"This temple is quite interesting."

When the investigator heard that his leader was interested, he naturally took out the information he had found as soon as possible.

"Secretary Tian, this temple is called ** Temple, which is the Jinchuan Gushan Temple in the story. It is an ancient temple that is hundreds of years old.

The current abbot took over after the old abbot passed away fifteen years ago. According to our preliminary investigation, this abbot Shi Hao is actually the youngest junior fellow apprentice.

He is not the heir in line. There are two senior brothers before him. However, we don’t know the specific reason. In short, both senior brothers left the temple.

Shi Hao was made the successor to the abbot position, and he subsequently carried out large-scale reforms. It is said that the annual incense offerings amount to millions."

Tian Guofu scratched his chin while listening. This was a habit he learned from Qi Tongwei. Sometimes when Qi Tongwei was listening to a report or thinking about a problem, he liked to scratch his chin and temples with his fingers.

In fact, these actions don’t have much meaning. Qi Tongwei just felt a little itchy and scratched it. But in the eyes of his subordinates who admire Qi Tongwei, this is a cool action.

In addition to Tian Guofu, many other subordinates also followed suit and learned a lot, even the way they spoke and walked.

Tian Guofu shook his fingers twice.

"We will send two teams. One team will keep an eye on this temple. I'll give you some money, so it's fine. It would be best if you could send someone in to conduct eavesdropping and surveillance using technical means.

Another team will work with the Public Security Bureau to see if they can investigate the abbot's background."

After hearing Tian Guofu's instructions, the investigator immediately went out to carry out the order. Tian Guofu then called the director of the Provincial Public Security Department.

"Old Lu, it looks like we've found a rat's nest."

"Secretary Tian, you've only been here a short time, and you've already found the rat's nest in Jinchuan City.

You tell me, and I'll cooperate with you."

This Old Lu is an old friend of Tian Guofu. They were old colleagues in Hanxi Province. In short, he is not on the same side as the local forces in Hanjiang Province and can be trusted.

"That's the so-and-so temple on the outskirts of the city. I found a lot of secrets in it.

Please send a team from your side to cooperate with me and conduct a thorough investigation.

I have a feeling this rat's nest will hold a lot of rats."

"You mean, this temple is a den for local corrupt officials to exchange benefits?"

Tian Guofu still didn't change his mind. He just wanted to make a big move and have his name on the commendation form delivered to the desks of Qi Tongwei and other leaders.

He is not young anymore. If he fails to get promoted in this term, he will have to work in the CPPCC for retirement.

Judging from Tian Guofu's experience, this temple incident is definitely a den for officials and businessmen to exchange interests, otherwise who would pay 20,000 yuan for incense offerings.

The standard is to keep out those troublesome aunts and grandmas. If someone can really afford this money, that's not bad, and they can make some money. After they get in, they can cheat people during festivals and holidays, and make at least hundreds of thousands of yuan from one pilgrim.

"Yes, any normal temple that has a membership system requires a membership card with a minimum deposit of 20,000 yuan in incense money.

When I was in the Discipline Inspection Commission, I handled a case in which a temple became a bribery den for an official. If his subordinates wanted to get promoted, they had to go there to give gifts.

This temple looks more upscale than the previous one.

This problem seems to be widespread, and I suggest the Economic Investigation Corps conduct an in-depth investigation of this temple."

After listening to Tian Guofu's words, Director Lu kept biting his nails and thinking about the pros and cons, but then he reacted.

Behind Tian Guofu stood the new provincial governor, who was said to be from a prominent family, had extensive connections in the central government, and was still very young, less than fifty years old.

He is also an outsider cadre, and local cadres are wary of him no matter what. Moreover, he faces the same situation as Qi Tongwei in his previous life, stuck in the position of deputy governor.

It seems that I have to make a decisive pledge of allegiance. No matter what, I have to wear the hat of deputy governor.

"Okay, Secretary Tian, you have the final say.

To be honest, I haven't figured out the situation of the Economic Investigation Corps of the Provincial Department yet. This time I have sent an Economic Investigation Detachment from a prefecture-level city to handle this case.

The opponent we are facing is a powerful one. The one you are investigating is also a well-known star cadre. We must kill him with one strike."

Director Lu is quite ruthless in his work. When he was young, he worked in drug enforcement. He dared to instruct his subordinates to shoot and kill several gangsters in the street, and he didn't care about being criticized by saints on the Internet.

In recent years, Chen Jin has served as deputy minister. Seeing his resume, he recalled that Qi Tongwei dared to take great risks and instruct the troops to use artillery to attack bandits in the city.

That's why I recommended Director Lu to come here, because of his boldness.

Tian Guofu smiled. Fortune and wealth must be sought in danger. Although Director Lu was also transferred here recently, they did not have a close relationship. It was not certain whether he would sit on the fence and not offend both sides.

Although their side seemed very strong, the other side had the head of the provincial party committee. Shi Yanan was not a person without connections. In terms of connections, Shi Yanan even surpassed Zhao Lichun. She was also a rare female leader.

At the same time, Qi Tongwei also called Jin Xinkai.

"Brother Kai, something's wrong this time. The higher-ups actually rejected my request to inspect Hanjiang Province midway."

Jin Xinkai also heard the news and felt very heavy in his heart. He was the person who felt the dire situation in Hanjiang Province most directly.

“I’m afraid I can’t communicate this matter with the higher-ups for the time being.

Some old-school committee members still admire Shi Yanan, and veteran comrade Pei Yihong also personally lobbied many people.

They directly acknowledged the historical mistakes they made in Han River Province that year, and expressed their sincere willingness to actively change and obey the guidance of their superiors for Han River Province.

In fact, the turmoil in the state-owned enterprise reform in recent years has been too great, and the army is also undergoing major rectification.

Even if you are a leader, it is not advisable to continue to escalate the situation.

The current focus is on correcting the stubborn problems of the military, and we may reorganize several major military regions to fully respond to the overall changes in the international situation."

What Qi Tongwei said was the truth. The whole country is like a chessboard, and the problems of each city and each place must be compromised for the overall situation. What's more, Qi Tongwei and his gang want to rectify more than just Hanjiang Province.

“I understand, Han River Province is definitely serving the overall situation.

But I will not sit idly by and allow the situation in Han River Province to deteriorate."

Hearing this, Qi Tongwei smiled. This was the answer he wanted.
