Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 1021: In the face of national power, all corrupt officials are paper tigers

At this point, Yu Zecheng was in deep doubt. Was his twenty-plus years of undercover work worth it? Was it really worth it to risk his life to uncover those spies?

Dabao understood what Yu Zecheng was thinking at this moment, and he sighed secretly in his heart. This was the difference in personality. He never considered whether it was worth it or not when doing things. He just did it, and he would not regret it as long as he did nothing wrong.

Yu Zecheng's personality is that before doing something, he will sort out all the pros and cons he can think of, and finally decide whether to do it or not, but he often misses the best opportunity.

Yu Zecheng raised his head, looked into Dabao's eyes and said.

"Director Qin, let's go. We're going to Hong Kong and we'll never come back."

As long as he gets his daughter, there will be nothing left for him to miss here...

Dabao nodded heavily.

"it is good!"

There were no troops stationed in Yi County, so Xing Meiyu had no choice but to ask Dabao to take all the prisoners back to the county government. She was now feeling uneasy, as she knew Secretary Du's methods too well.

From the county magistrate at the founding of the People's Republic of China to the current secretary, Du Qifeng has deep roots in Yi County. This person is very good at scheming and has a very thorough understanding of the current situation. From 1941, he approached the party organization until he joined it, and he has always appeared selfless and loyal.

His Du family was also growing stronger and stronger in Yi County, and becoming more and more rampant. The higher authorities had received letters of complaint about all this, but when they sent people to investigate, they could not find anything. As a result, the letters of complaint became useless.

Du Qifeng completely regarded Yi County as the Du family's back garden. All the people were his family's slaves and could be oppressed at will...

Xing Meiyu was worried that Dabao couldn't do anything to local tyrants like Du Qifeng, but soon she realized that her worries were groundless. In the face of national power, local tyrants had no power to resist.

After she settled Dabao and others, she quickly called the city. There were people on duty at the city government at night, and if there was something going on, it would take a long time to make a phone call. But this time, someone picked up the phone as soon as it rang, which meant that someone had been guarding the phone.

Xing Meiyu wanted to report the situation in Yi County to the on-duty leader, but the on-duty staff told him that all the city leaders had already rushed to Yi County.

Xing Meiyu was stunned. She put down the phone and stood outside the door blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.

The doctor from the People's Hospital came to report that except for those who died immediately, all the others had been rescued. The doctor came to ask if they needed to be taken to the hospital for treatment.

Xing Meiyu shook her head. We don’t even know how many hours these people can live. Let’s not waste medical resources.

Two hours later, just as the sky was getting light, one jeep after another drove into the county party committee compound, and Xing Meiyu hurried to greet them.

The first car that got off was the commissioner and secretary of the Baozhou Regional Administrative Office. The second car was the commander of the garrison area. The third truck was filled with dozens of fully armed soldiers, who were escorting two people. Then, the cars behind it were filled with Baozhou's leaders at all levels.

Xing Meiyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw this. The two people tied up were the County Party Secretary Du Qifeng and the County Magistrate Liu Guanghuai. They were also related: Liu Guanghuai's lover was Du Qifeng's niece...

She was about to talk to the commissioner and the secretary, but unexpectedly the commissioner grabbed her hand and asked repeatedly.

"Where is Chief Qin?"

Xing Meiyu hesitated for a moment before she realized who he was talking about, and quickly pointed to the duty room.

"Commander Qin is resting in the duty room, Commissioner, I'll go wake him up right away."

The commissioner quickly stopped him.

"No, no, no, don't disturb the chief's rest. Go find some stools and some water. We'll wait here."

The secretary nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, we'll wait here."

Xing Meiyu was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time. Although the rank of major general was high, it was not so high that the commissioner and the secretary had to be so humble, right?

In fact, her level is too low, and she can't understand the gap between the top leaders.

Xing Meiyu didn't know that the reputation of the Central Investigation Bureau had spread far and wide. Wherever the Central Investigation Bureau went, it would bring bloodshed and gore. Local leaders were punished one after another. Dismissal was the lightest punishment, while many were imprisoned or executed.

When the leaders of Baozhou Prefecture heard the reputation of the Central Investigation Bureau, they were terrified.

Especially at the enlarged meeting held last night, there were more than 800 middle and high-level leaders in the venue. The secretary was conveying the central government's documents on the Four Cleanups Movement.

At this time, the gate of the meeting hall was opened, and the commander of the garrison area and the security department, without notifying the commissioner of the administrative office and the secretary, directly arrested the secretary and the county magistrate of Yi County.

The commissioner quickly got down from the rostrum, grabbed the commander and asked what was going on.

The commander quietly told him that the son of Du Qifeng, the secretary of the Yi County Party Committee, had arrested an investigator from the Central Investigation Bureau for no reason. Now Director Qin of the Central Investigation Bureau had already rushed over with the security guards of the garrison area.

Ten minutes ago, Director Qin called him and asked him to immediately take people to arrest the secretary and county magistrate of Yi County on charges of corruption and dereliction of duty. He said that almost all the grain in the Yi County granary had been resold, including the relief grain intended for the people.

When the commissioner and the secretary heard this, they were scared out of their wits. This year was a year of famine, and food was of paramount importance. This was a red line, and whoever touched it would die.

They quickly gathered people and rushed to Yi County. When they arrived in Yi County, they did not dare to disturb Director Qin's rest and would rather wait outside.

Xing Meiyu arranged for the people on duty to start boiling water. The commissioner and the secretary called her over and asked in a low voice.

"Meiyu, what exactly is going on? Tell me in detail. Don't wait until Chief Qin gets up and asks us. It would be bad if we don't know anything."

Xing Meiyu did not dare to hide anything. She told the secretary and the commissioner in detail what had happened from yesterday until now, especially what Du Lin had said, that Du Biao, in collusion with Du Kang and Du Wen, had taken all the grain out of the granary and sold it on the black market to line their own pockets.

The most outrageous thing is that they secretly sold off the relief grain distributed by the state to the Red Flag Commune. People are now starving to death. All of this was done with the tacit approval of the county party secretary and the county head. They can't deny it even if they want to...

The commissioner and the secretary frowned after hearing this. Yi County would become famous throughout the country, and even they could not escape the responsibility of negligence.

Especially the secretary of the prefectural party committee, Du Qifeng was promoted by him. He was also the one who vigorously promoted the ridiculous fact that the secretary and the county magistrate were close relatives, under the pretext of facilitating management.

This time, he not only failed to supervise, but also had to bear all the leadership responsibilities. In this way, his best outcome would be to retire in the National People's Congress...
