Time passed quickly, and several days had passed. Zhao Qing was almost mentally collapsed from anxiety and uneasiness. However, the news from the old leader in the capital who could save him from the dire situation had not arrived yet.

At the same time, Zhao Lan, who was outside, was also in a nearly desperate wait.

During this period, he resolutely turned down almost all the work at hand and wholeheartedly waited for any movement regarding his brother.

Although he had the urge to call his old leader countless times, he finally resisted the urge with amazing perseverance and chose to continue waiting patiently.

But what no one expected was that what finally arrived was not the long-awaited good news, but bad news that came like a bolt from the blue - Bengang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Pan Hongyuan was about to impose double-regulation measures on him!

Once this news came out, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, instantly causing an uproar in the officialdom of Anqiu County.

All kinds of rumors spread rapidly like a plague, and the entire officialdom seemed to be struck by thunder, with chaos and panic among the people.

Those "die-hard fans" who once firmly supported Zhao Lan are now worried and uneasy. Everyone feels an unprecedented crisis, fearing that they will be implicated and stuck in the quagmire.

What's more, some rumors are spreading. Some people claim that the police found a mysterious account book from Zhao Lan's home, which detailed the irrefutable evidence of corruption among many leaders in Anqiu County; others vividly described that Secretary Wen Tao of the Municipal Party Committee had already issued a crucial instruction, and anyone whose name appeared in this account book would not be able to escape severe punishment from the law!

These rumors have made the already turbulent situation even more confusing and chilling.

......

After some hard work, Sun Yiguo did obtain a lot of valuable information.

However, faced with the serious crimes committed by the Zhao brothers, he felt helpless and powerless. After all, as the mayor of a city, how could he bend the law for personal gain and openly shield criminals?

At this point, Sun Yiguo had no choice but to report the specific situation of the Zhao brothers in detail to "Uncle Liu" in the capital.

After listening to the report, "Uncle Liu" on the other end of the phone couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, complaining that Sun Yiguo's ability to do things was really too poor, simply terrible. But at the same time, "Uncle Liu" began to think about finding someone else to help greet him.

Soon, this call reached Jian Hongguo, the head of the Jian family.

In the eyes of "Uncle Liu", how could a small municipal party secretary dare to disobey the wishes of the provincial party secretary?

But what he never expected was that his good intentions were ruthlessly rebuffed by Jian Hongguo.

Mr. Zhou’s grandson, Mr. Jian’s grandson-in-law, my son-in-law, when will it be the turn of outsiders to point fingers at others?

When "Uncle Liu" learned about the powerful background and connections behind Wen Tao, his dissatisfaction with Sun Yiguo immediately subsided a little.

On the contrary, I think Comrade Wentao's noble spirit of handling cases impartially and adhering to principles is indeed worthy of our study!

......

Zhao Qing was completely plunged into despair and was almost mentally collapsed.

He waited anxiously in that dark corner for the so-called "savior", but time passed by minute by minute, until the sky became gloomy and gray, and the man was still nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, Zhao Qing had no idea what was happening outside, and he didn't even know that his own brother Zhao Lan had been placed under double supervision.

If he knew this news, he would probably go crazy and lose his mind on the spot.

Despite having suffered countless times of meticulous and unbearable "special care" before, Zhao Qing gritted his teeth and refused to utter a word.

However, even so, the police have sufficient evidence to convict Zhao Qing!

Li Mingyang led his men to work tirelessly to organize all the case files in an orderly manner, and then handed them over to the procuratorate without hesitation to formally initiate public prosecution.

Not long after, the Bengang Intermediate People's Court solemnly announced that the criminal suspect Zhao Qing had committed many serious crimes, including kidnapping, instigating others to kill, and assaulting police officers.

In view of the serious nature of his criminal behavior, he was sentenced to death for multiple crimes and his political rights were deprived for life.

Several other close confidants and lackeys who committed numerous evil deeds with Zhao Qing were also sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from three to ten years.

Those "rogue villagers" who acted arrogantly on a daily basis were all punished with administrative detention and had to pay a certain amount of fines.

It is worth mentioning that only Zhao Qing's most trusted confidant and lackey Jia Dashu was given the opportunity to serve his sentence outside prison because of his significant meritorious service.

This incident flashed through Wentao's mind like a flash of lightning, bringing him many profound insights and reflections. He couldn't help but think of the vigorous campaign to "crack down on gangsters and village tyrants" in later generations. This was by no means accidental, but had sufficient and necessary reasons.

Especially in the vast rural areas, most of the people there are simple, kind and law-abiding. However, due to the relatively lagging information dissemination and the lack of smooth channels, this has to some extent become a breeding ground for the growth and spread of evil forces.

After witnessing what was happening before his eyes, Wentao had already made up his mind.

He wanted to use this incident as a key breakthrough point to launch an unprecedented crackdown on organized crime and evil.

To this end, he carefully planned and deployed a series of specific measures: first, he set up multiple public reporting mailboxes and published a dedicated reporting phone number to ensure that the public could easily provide clues;

Secondly, it is clear that the Municipal Public Security Bureau will take the lead in this work, give full play to its professional advantages and law enforcement authority, and deal a devastating blow to the evil forces.

......

At the same time, Wentao also urged the Organization Department and the Personnel Bureau to start the cadre recruitment plan he had previously formulated.

There is no telling how many "Brother Zhao Qing" there are in Bengang City today. He is really worried about using it. Even if he wants to use it, he has to use it in combination, right?
