The Official Ladder: I ascend to the pinnacle of power, wielding the power of life and death.

"Uncle Su, what is this?"

Jiang Yiming asked in confusion.

"The loan agreement between the Agricultural Bank and the debtor. At the time, this matter caused quite a stir, and Zhang Zhengping, the then county party secretary, stepped in to suppress the case. He appeased a group of people at the Agricultural Bank through means such as promotions, and Shen Jian was promoted at this time."

Su Huaizhang said, "At the time, I was against handling it this way, but many officials' families were involved, so they naturally agreed to suppress the matter as a bad debt. The case was dropped, and I had the relevant evidence preserved."

"I'll give it to you; it'll definitely be useful."

“Uncle Su, if this old case is really brought up again, it may also have an impact on you.”

Jiang Yiming didn't understand why Su Huaizhang had given him the item.

"I see."

Su Huaizhang said, "I can't help you with anything else, this is the only help I can offer you."

"Of course, don't worry about it affecting me. I've already retired early, and I didn't lead this matter. Even if I am punished, I will only receive a party warning, and there will be no other punishment."

"Thank you, Uncle Su. I will definitely take Su Yun's matter to heart."

Jiang Yiming spoke again.

Su Huaizhang took the items out so that he would owe him a favor.

His goal was simple: to get Jiang Yiming to help Su Yun move her seat.

After returning home, Jiang Yiming opened the file folder and looked inside. It contained original documents, all of which were for loans of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, with some exceeding 100,000 yuan.

This is all national money, yet due to interference from certain powerful individuals, national assets have been lost in vain.

Jiang Yiming naturally wouldn't stand idly by.

The next morning, Jiang Yiming took Chen Xujian to the city.

On the way, Jiang Yiming explained the situation to Chen Xujian.

Upon hearing that the case involved the vice mayor, Chen Xujian immediately became agitated.

“Secretary Yiming, if this matter is not handled properly, it could easily cause problems.”

Chen Xujian asked worriedly, "Shouldn't we tell Secretary Xuan Gui?"

“When Zhang Zhengping was the county party secretary, he was the county head. He must have known about this. If we told him, many things would become complicated.”

Jiang Yiming thought for a moment and said, "I should report to County Chief Yuntao first, and it would be better to bring him to the city. But it's too late to call him now, so let's report first and see what Secretary Wei has to say."

Municipal Party Secretary's Office.

Jiang Yiming met Wei Shanghua.

"Secretary, this is Chen Xujian, the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Xinping County."

Jiang Yiming gave a brief introduction.

"I've heard of Comrade Xu Jian. Please sit down and let's talk."

Wei Shanghua asked, "You two came together, there must be something you need. I have a meeting at 10:30, please keep it brief."

"Secretary, it's like this. During our investigation of the bank robbery, we discovered that this case was not a simple robbery, but rather one that was orchestrated by someone."

"Did someone instigate the robbers to commit the robbery?"

Wei Shanghua didn't quite understand; he had never heard of such a thing before.

"According to the investigation, the Agricultural Bank of China had a large loan that could not be recovered. In order to make this account disappear in a legitimate way, the president of the Agricultural Bank of China came up with a crooked idea and had robbers rob the bank so that the loan would be attributed to the robbers."

Jiang Yiming said, "This loan involves a very wide range of issues and dates back quite a while. According to the information we have so far, it involves Zhang Zhengping, the former county party secretary, who is also the deputy mayor."

"This matter is of great importance. I originally intended to report it to Secretary Xuan Gui and County Head Yun Tao, but I left in a hurry and didn't have time to report it."

"It's alright. If Xuan Gui investigates, just say that I told you to report directly to me."

Wei Shanghua knew that Jiang Yiming was afraid of Jiang Xuangui's interference.

After all, Jiang Xuangui was working with Zhang Zhengping at the time, and whether he was involved or not is another matter, but it is certainly impossible for him to say that he knew nothing about it.

"Have all the relevant evidence materials been prepared?"

Wei Shanghua inquired.

"Bring them all."

Jiang Yiming handed over the relevant documents.

After looking through it for a while, Wei Shanghua frowned.

"Wait for me in the office. I'll go to the provincial capital with you after the meeting."

Wei Shanghua returned the documents to Jiang Yiming.

Zhang Zhengping is the vice mayor, a deputy provincial-level official, and only the provincial discipline inspection commission has the authority to investigate and handle such cases.

He wanted to personally travel to the provincial capital to minimize the impact as much as possible.

After the meeting ended, the group didn't even bother to eat before heading straight to the provincial capital.

Before setting off, Wei Shanghua called Guo Shenglin of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to confirm that he was in the province before the group departed.

After all, provincial leaders are very busy, and if they are not in the province, their trip will be in vain.

On the way, the group ate some simple boxed lunches and then continued their journey.

When I arrived at the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, it was right during the afternoon working hours.

Guo Shenglin personally received them.

"Yiming, you've got quite the influence, haven't you? You even brought your Party Secretary along to the provincial capital."

Guo Shenglin laughed.

"It's not that I'm too low-ranking to come directly to see you; I can only ask Secretary Wei to step forward and give me courage."

Jiang Yiming stepped forward to pour water and make tea for the group, just like in his own office.

Only then did Chen Xujian truly realize the unusual relationship between Jiang Yiming and the provincial discipline inspection commission secretary.

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

Guo Shenglin sat on the sofa, sitting side by side with several other people.

"Secretary Guo, I'm here to report on the progress of the investigation into the bank robbery in Xinping County, which involves leading cadres in our city."

Wei Shanghua recounted the events, saying, "We want to seek the support of the province. I also want to state here that the Yiyang Municipal Party Committee and Government are determined to fight against corrupt elements and fully cooperate with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to eliminate the bad elements."

"I thought it was just a robbery, but I didn't expect there were other reasons."

Guo Shenglin said, "We will proceed in two steps. First, I will send people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to Xinping County to investigate the loan matter, together with the Audit Bureau and the Dongjiang Branch of the Agricultural Bank of China. Second, we will communicate with other provincial leaders to seek their support."

"Okay, then we'll be prepared and wait for the joint investigation team to arrive at any time."

After reporting the matter, Wei Shanghua led his men back.

Jiang Yiming had just returned to Xinping County when he received a call from Jiang Xuangui's secretary, who said that Jiang Xuangui wanted him to attend a meeting in the conference room.

When Jiang Yiming arrived, all the other standing committee members were already in the meeting room.

"Comrade Jiang Yiming, do you even respect me as the county party secretary anymore?"

As soon as Jiang Yiming sat down, Jiang Xuangui launched the first attack.

"Secretary Xuan Gui, what makes you say that?"

Jiang Yiming said calmly.

"Did you secretly arrest Shen Jian, the president of the Agricultural Bank of China? Why didn't you consult me ​​beforehand?"

"The matter was urgent, so I didn't have time to report it to you."

"You didn't have time beforehand, so why didn't you report to me afterwards? Don't tell me Shen Jiangang was arrested! He's been missing for three days!"
