Chapter 411: Ignorant and Foolish
Very quickly, over twenty individuals implicated in the bribery records were all apprehended.
Since this matter involved Cao Bencong, Beihuang County immediately convened an "All-County Cadre Discipline and Work Style Rectification Conference."
During the conference, Hao Wenjing not only severely criticized Cao Bencong’s actions but also made a particular emphasis:
"In the upcoming period, the County Disciplinary Inspection Committee will establish an investigative team to patrol all towns and villages. If there are still corruption issues, I will mete out severe punishment without mercy. I hope everyone holds the line and supervises each other."
After the meeting, Tang Heqing and others all gathered at Gu Konglian’s home to discuss their countermeasures.
In contrast to the palpable unease of the group, Gu Konglian remained extraordinarily calm.
"Since the situation is not in our favor, we naturally need to unite even tighter. But honestly, the guy who gave gifts to Cao Bencong is truly stupid—keeping records of bribery is basically asking for death!"
Letting out a sigh, Tang Heqing still bore a grim expression.
"That bitch Hao Wenjing finally seized an opportunity with this incident to suppress us. I suspect she won’t let go easily. Even if we tread cautiously, who can guarantee they haven’t made the slightest mistake?"
These words garnered unanimous support from the rest of the group.
After deliberation, they ultimately decided to stir up some trouble to redirect Hao Wenjing’s attention.
Once the discussion was over, the others departed one after another, leaving Tang Heqing behind.
