Chapter 70 Punishment
The bedroom door suddenly creaked, and Wan Dewu walked out of the room in a daze. His eyes were dull and his steps were floating, as if he was about to fall down at any time.
Hou Jianjun looked at the wall clock. It was already past four o'clock in the morning, but he was so nervous that he didn't notice that time passed so quickly.
Wan Dewu suddenly shuddered, looked up at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng slowly put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at him.
Wan Dewu suddenly felt his legs weak and he knelt on the ground.
Hou Jianjun was stunned and stared at him blankly.
Wan Dewu's head was in chaos. He didn't know what he was doing. He just felt his legs were weak and he couldn't stand. Maybe he subconsciously wanted to sit down, or maybe he really wanted to kneel down. In short, when he was slumped down, he became kneeling on the ground.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, Wan Dewu called his home first. He didn't say anything about it. He thought he could go out in a day or two, so why bother to worry Guan Jie? But when asked about Xiao Cui, the nanny at home, Guan Jie said that she had left a note and quit her job and went to the south. Wan Dewu didn't care too much. No wonder Lu Zheng and his dog were so sure. It turned out that they had such a skill. They would just talk about these things later.
Wan Dewu immediately called a paging call from Beijing. After waiting for more than half an hour, the phone finally rang. Wan Dewu was not in a hurry. This time he replied, he was quite fast. That man was very busy and had a very bad temper. It would be great if he could call him this point.
But I didn't want to answer the phone, but it was not the voice of the master. The person who replied was the follower next to the master, Xiaoliu, who was originally a stubborn leader in Beijing.
Xiaoliu said coldly, "The Fourth Brother knows everything about you, and the Fourth Brother tells you to rest assured. Your family will ask someone to take good care of you." Then Xiaoliu hinted to Wan Dewu that if you leak the Fourth Brother's affairs at all, you can think about the consequences yourself, and think about your wife, parents, ex-wife and children."
Xiaoliu told Wan Dewu again that he should not call this number in the future. The fourth brother thinks that you are too unsuccessful in doing illegal things and will have nothing to do with you in the future.
Then, Xiao Liu hung up the phone.
Wan Dewu was stunned immediately, as if he fell into an ice cave. Obviously, Xiao Liu was worried that someone would monitor him and was very careful in his words. However, the information he should have revealed was that the fourth brother would not interfere in this matter, and from then on, his relationship with him was broken.
Wan Dewu's reliance suddenly collapsed. He thought that the fourth brother would come forward and this little trouble would be solved. Who knew that in the end, this result would be like this.
After sitting in a daze in the bedroom for several hours, Wan Dewu didn't know how he thought about it and how he opened the door.
At this time, he was kneeling on the ground. Wan Dewu couldn't speak a word, his lips trembled, like an eggplant beaten by frost. The arrogance and arrogance that had been a few hours ago had long disappeared.
Lu Zheng patted Wan Dewu on the shoulder: "Just tell me honestly and strive for lenientness." He turned around and walked out.
Let’s look at Wan Dewu, I wanted to see what the reaction there would be. It seems that there was a abandonment of Wan Dewu, but this beam was formed. As for how big this beam is, it depends on what the other side thinks.
Hou Jianjun sent Lu Zheng out happily. After returning, he looked at Wan Dewu, who was still kneeling beside the coffee table like mud, and a grim smile gradually appeared on Hou Jianjun's face.
Judging from Wan Dewu's appearance, Hou Jianjun knew that he was finished. It seemed that the bullshit young masters in the capital were all bragging.
He picked up Wan Dewu's collar and dragged Wan Dewu to the bedroom like a dead dog. Hou Jianjun said with a grim smile: "Old Wan, let's have a good chat!"
The bedroom door was closed, and inside, a howl like a pig slaughtering sounded immediately...
January 29th is the Spring Festival. It’s just a few days before the weather in Guangning is getting warmer. Today’s spring is bright. Zhou Daqing also helped Lu Zheng open the window to breathe.
In the office, Lu Zheng looked through Wan Dewu's confession.
On the sofa, County Mayor Wang Tongdi, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee Ma Yuewu, and County Court President Feng Decai.
According to the confession, although Wan Dewu and Wang Tongdi had close contact, they had no profit transfer. Even Wang Tongdi paid back some of the small gifts given by Wan Dewu at a discount. Wang Tongdi would not accept any valuable gifts.
Wan Dewu now has no need to lie in his confession.
Lu Zheng glanced at Wang Tongdi. The county magistrate who worked with him was not simple.
Many cadres in the county may think that if Wan Dewu is defeated, County Mayor Wang will definitely collapse because the two are so close to each other.
Lu Zheng looked at Feng Decai again and said, "The prosecution has filed a lawsuit in Wan Dewu's case. What do you think? Of course, we are just communicating privately, and our opinions will not affect your court's judgment." Wan Dewu's case was investigated very quickly and was sent to the procuratorate three days ago. After review, the procuratorate filed a lawsuit today.
Feng Decai is also a Lu Zheng's old acquaintance. When Lu Zheng was in Guangning, he was the president of the court. This judge, who was a worker, had thick eyebrows and big eyes, gray casual clothes, and looked very simple.
Feng Decai cleared his throat and said, "When Wan Dewu contracted the fertilizer plant, he used various illegal means to take state assets for himself, and the amount exceeded 100,000 yuan. It is a 'specially huge' type and should be severely punished. However, he voluntarily pleaded guilty, and I think he could be given a lighter punishment at the discretion. Moreover, he actively returned the stolen goods and showed remorse. In addition, he was weak and weak, and is still on medical parole. I think the ten-year sentence can be used as a basis and the judgment can be made at the discretion."
Although it seems that Secretary Lu is preparing to severely punish Wan Dewu, Feng Decai still expressed his opinion carefully. Lu Zheng nodded slightly and did not say anything. Wang Tongdi interrupted: "Old Feng, in Wan Dewu's case, do you think it is possible to use a fine as an additional sentence?"
Just recently, the National People's Congress just revised the Criminal Law. The fine appeared as an additional punishment in the Criminal Law. Speaking of which, punishments similar to fine punishment also appeared in Guangning.
Only Lu Zheng can feel that he is changing bit by bit in this world
From now on, the procedures for fines and execution will be improved. In more than ten years, a very mature new punishment system will probably be formed, and the deterrence of future economic criminals will be unprecedented. If you wait until more than ten or twenty years to explore the fines and will become a temporary cram, and it will be too difficult to execute.
However, when Wang Tongdi mentioned the fine at this time, he did not have the same idea as Lu Zheng. He should have wanted to win the opportunity to be lighter for Wan Dewu.
Ma Yuewu smiled and looked at Wang Tongdi and said, "I heard that County Magistrate Wang wanted to see him yesterday?"
Wang Tongdi said: "Yes, but I haven't seen him. I want to meet an old friend. Is that right? But I heard that he can't meet anyone except a lawyer during this period. I admit that I should learn more about the law at this point."
Lu Zheng made a gesture: "Okay, Tong Di, you continue to talk."
Wang Tongdi nodded and said, "That's how I think it. If he sentenced him to ten or eight years, the punishment for him is far less deterrent than using a fine. The application of fine is more appropriate from his body and humanitarian perspective. Taking a case in Guangning three years ago, Secretary Lu was in this case at that time, everyone should know that the fine was confiscated more than twice the fine from the criminals' illegal income, which caused a sensation at the time. It was a deterrent to the entire Guangning who intended to use his post to embezzle public funds. It was a Shangfang sword hanging on their heads."
"Three years have passed, and our country has also issued a fine criminal law. We can also be the first in the country to explore economic crime punishments in economically developed areas and set a standard."
Lu Zheng listened and slowly drank tea.
Wang Tongdi looked at Feng Decai and said, "Old Feng, what do you think? Of course, I am not a lawmaker, I just provide you with an idea, which is to throw a brick and a jade penetration."
Feng Decai pondered and said, "It is okay to use fines as additional punishment, but Wan Dewu embezzled state property is particularly huge. If he wants to use fines to offset the sentence, the amount should be based on five times his illegal income, or more than five times."
Ma Yuewu interrupted, "I also think that the fine should not be a punishment instead of punishment, but an additional punishment for criminals. Only such punishment will have a deterrent effect." Wang Tongdi nodded and stopped talking. Lu Zheng said to Feng Decai: "Okay, you don't have to care about our opinions. How should we judge it? It's based on facts, evidence, and law, and do things according to the law." He looked at Zhou Daqing standing at the door and said, "Are you all here? I'll go and take a look."
The person Lu Zheng mentioned was some entrepreneurs and merchant representatives of Guangning. Representatives of Liu Hanshan, vice chairman of the Guangning County CPPCC and chairman of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, gathered more than 100 people and jointly wrote to the Municipal Party Committee and Provincial Party Committee, expressing dissatisfaction with Wushan as a pilot to promote tax system reform.
At this moment, Liu Hanshan and several Guangning business representatives were waiting for Lu Zheng in the small conference room on the fifth floor.
The moment Lu Zheng entered the conference room, the conference room where he was originally talking and chatting was quiet immediately.
Lu Zheng walked to the main seat, looked at the wall with the portrait of Marx and Lesmao hanging behind him, and stood for a while.
Liu Hanshan and others looked at each other, feeling even more uneasy.
As early as the day when he heard that Lu Zheng came to Guangning to be the county party secretary, Liu Hanshan felt timid. His interactions with Lu Zheng were deeper than those of Wan Dewu. He was once detained by Ma Weiguo in Qinglong and forced to punish Lu Zheng. Later, Lu Zheng took him out.
I was originally concerned about Lu Zheng's old love, and the new secretary had cruel methods when he was in Guangning in the past. Now that he had just returned to Guangning, he was imprisoned. How could he not scare them?
Finally, Lu Zheng sat in his seat and looked around them.
