Chapter 68 Offering oneself

“Compensation?”

Zhou Taiping was stunned for a moment, then felt somewhat embarrassed. He looked at Nie Zhenbang. Although Zhou Taiping knew that he was dealing with a person of significant influence, he couldn’t afford to offend him. After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Taiping glanced at Liang Ligui who was beside him.

At this moment, the young Liang Ligui disrespectfully turned his head away. However, it was Zhou Ye who stood up at this time. After all, they were father and son, and it was clear that Zhou Taiping was in a difficult situation. Zhou Taiping couldn’t make a decision alone. This was not something he alone could decide. Not to mention that Zhou Taiping was not the top authority now, but even if he were, the people under him were not necessarily all in agreement.

Now was an appropriate time for Zhou Ye to speak up. Firstly, Zhou Ye too was not a public official. Zhou Ye’s agreement did not mean the government agreed. These were two different concepts. Secondly, Zhou Ye had a good relationship with Liang Ligui. On this level, Liang Ligui would not embarrass Zhou Ye.

“Mr. Nie, government compensation? What kind of compensation method… Isn’t this a bit… You know, there is no such precedent. If Hulun City were to set this precedent, wouldn’t the country fall into chaos?” At this moment, Zhou Ye’s tone also changed. After knowing Nie Zhenbang’s background, any more arrogant remarks would be foolish.

Nie Zhenbang laughed. As a reborn individual, he knew very well that in a few years, the national compensation law would officially be implemented. From then on, it wouldn’t be surprising for the government to compensate the public economically.

Looking at Liang Ligui aside, Nie Zhenbang waved his hand and said seriously: “I don’t see anything inappropriate. Think about it, how old is Li Chunshan? A thirteen-year-old child, who has not even finished his education, was arrested for being a hooligan. The impact on his body and mind is significant. This is one aspect. Furthermore, he lost his education and his future. The losses are tremendous. Even if he is released this time, he could not possibly return to school. How will he live his future? Does the state, the government, not bear any fault in this instance of wrongful conviction? Granted, these are individual acts, but they are indeed the adverse consequences of the misuse of national power. As a government, as a responsible government with a sense of duty, they must account for their errors and give the public an explanation.”

At this point, Nie Zhenbang declared firmly: “Compensation is necessary. As for the matter above, I will address it. I think even if this matter reaches the central government, the rationale will be accepted.”

At this moment, what Zhou Taiping needed was Nie Zhenbang’s words, so long as Nie Zhenbang was willing to take charge of the matter, let there be compensation, after all, it wasn’t his money. The money belonged to the state. This had nothing to do with Zhou Taiping.

Immediately, Zhou Taiping nodded and said: “Mr. Nie, we at the Hulun City Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will certainly attach great importance to your words.”

Having said that, he ignored Cao Houan completely and turned to Xing Weiguo beside him, saying: “Deputy Director Xing, you are a leader at the provincial department level. Let’s hand these people over to the provincial department for the time being. I believe that with the strength of the provincial department, we can give the general public an objective and fair response.”

Simultaneously, the secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, Xiao Yunshan, who had read all the materials, said solemnly: “Old Zhou, this is a serious matter. I think we should rush to the provincial capital overnight and report to Governor Liang and Secretary Cheng.”

At this moment, Cao Houan’s face was livid. He was directly sidelined by his subordinates. Where was his face, his authority? Immediately, Cao Houan roared: “Shut up, Xiao Yunshan, Zhou Taiping, do you two still have party principles, organizational discipline? Do you have any regard for me, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee?”

Before the two could answer, Nie Zhenbang interrupted: “Secretary Taiping, Secretary Yunshan, do whatever you have to do. As for Secretary Cao, I think you should worry about yourself. If you have some free time now, you’d better run to the provincial capital. Otherwise, when the province gets involved, I’m afraid you won’t get a chance to escape.”

That night, Zhou Taiping and Xiao Yunshan, along with Xing Weiguo, the executive deputy director of the provincial Public Security Bureau, rushed to the provincial capital with more than a dozen police cars.

Those involved in this incident, including Xu Tianci and several police officers, were also handcuffed together and taken to the provincial capital.

Early the next morning, Zhou Taiping and Xiao Yunshan respectively gave a detailed report to Governor Liang of the Caoyuan Provincial Party Committee and Secretary Cheng of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission.

Hearing that Nie Zhenbang had proposed for the state to offer compensation, Governor Liang also stood up, contemplated for a moment, and then made a decisive decision. He looked at Zhou Taiping and said: “Taiping, you did a great job this time. Mr. Nie’s status is very sensitive. In this matter, our Provincial Party Committee can only provide assistance. All matters will be handled by the Hulun City Committee. I have only one request: to ensure that Mr. Nie is satisfied.’

Immediately afterwards, the team of the Caoyuan Provincial Party Committee also quickly responded. Before the meeting, Governor Liang had specifically found Secretary Wu of the Caoyuan Provincial Party Committee to discuss this matter privately. After learning about Nie Zhenbang’s identity, Secretary Wu also took it seriously.

He looked at Governor Liang with a different perspective. Although Secretary Wu knew that Governor Liang had influential support from Jingcheng, he did not expect it to be from the Nie family. As a provincial governor, Secretary Wu was well-informed about the news from Jingcheng. He had heard about Nie Zhenbang’s influence in Jingcheng; he was not someone who could be dismissed lightly. And he heard that he even had a connection to the grandson of the Nanxun Chief.

Upon thinking about this, Secretary Wu was somewhat grateful that Governor Liang had revealed this news to him in advance, and he immediately reciprocated: “Old Liang, I think we need to take this matter very seriously in our province. Now that we have entered a period of reform and opening up, we cannot continue to follow the old revolutionary path. This crackdown needs to be careful. There’s definitely something wrong with the case if such a kid could commit hooliganism. I think we can lead an investigation team to Eguna City to conduct a special investigation. We have to give the people a satisfactory answer.”

After hearing the opinions of several major leaders in Caoyuan Province, the Caoyuan Provincial Party Committee quickly made a resolution. The team, led by the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee and Secretary Cheng of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, stationed in Hulun City. Deputy Secretary Zhou Taiping of Hulun City Committee was fully involved and assisted her. On one hand, they revisited the case of Li Chunshan’s hooliganism, and on the other hand, they suspended Secretary Xu of Eguna City Committee for investigation. Under severe interrogation in the provincial department, Xu Tianci confessed thoroughly.

Soon, the Provincial Public Security Department handed over Xu Tianci’s case to the Provincial Procuratorate. The Procuratorate initiated a prosecution and naturally, Xu Tianci was subjected to severe legal penalties.

At the moment, Secretary Xu, in the face of sufficient evidence and solid facts, confessed his own sins. Hulun City Committee immediately held a standing committee meeting to expel Secretary Xu from the Party, dismiss him from public office, and transfer him to the judiciary.

Following this, the Caoyuan Provincial Party Committee also made a decision. The former Secretary of the Hulun City Committee, Cao Houan, was demoted due to dereliction of duty and accepting bribes. Considering the circumstance of returning the bribe and its small amount, Cao was severely reprimanded within the party, demoted in his administrative position, transferred from Hulun City, and appointed as the deputy director of the Caoyuan Province Animal Husbandry and Aquatics Bureau. Moreover, he was the lowest-ranking deputy director.

Desert Prison of Caoyuan Province. As the directly managed prison of Caoyuan

Province, belonging to the jurisdiction of the Caoyuan Provincial Justice Department Prison Administration, it is where prisoners serving over ten years are held. High walls surrounded all sides and numerous armed police officers patrolled the area.

At this moment, at the entrance of the prison, four black Santana cars stopped at the black main entrance of the prison. Nie Zhenbang, Li Lixue, Liu Kun, Liang Ligui, and Zhou Ye were all waiting nearby, while Long and Tiger stood beside Nie Zhenbang and Li Lixue.

As the gate slowly opened, a man about 1.85 meters tall, with a rugged physique, walked out of the prison with a blank face.

Seeing this young man, Li Lixue could no longer hold back and ran towards him: “Little brother, you’re finally out. It was me who harmed you, I’m sorry.”

Once the siblings had calmed down their emotions, Li Chunshan walked over.

Looking at Nie Zhenbang, he knelt down and gave three kowtows. Li Chunshan stood up and said, “Third Brother, thank you. You’re now my big brother all my life. I, Li Chunshan, don’t have many skills, but I have a lot of strength. I’m willing to give my life. From now on, my life is yours..”
