With good intentions, Xu Yishan had a long talk with his brother-in-law Nie Bo under the guise of visiting his sister.
Since Nie Bo was approached by the Commission for Discipline Inspection last time, he seemed to have become cautious and lost the momentum he had in the past. Xu Yishan keenly sensed that Nie Bo was in danger of slipping down, and he had to be warned to force him to rein in the precipice.
Of course Xu Yishan understood Nie Bo's difficulties. As Nie Bo himself said, no matter how clean a person is, once he falls into the ink bucket, it is difficult to guarantee that he will get out clean.
? Chenzhou is located in a remote area of ??Central Province, and it often means that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. As an official in Chenzhou, there is no one who does not make a fortune.
Cheng Zihua, Xu Yishan's old classmate, was sacked in Chenzhou. Cheng Zihua was originally a young cadre that the organization focused on training, and his political achievements in Chenzhou were indeed remarkable.
For example, the logistics center in Chenzhou was founded by Cheng Zihua. Now it has become the logistics hub of the entire central region. Cheng Zihua originally planned to build Chenzhou into an international logistics airport, but unfortunately his ambition was not fulfilled.
When Cheng Zihua was in office, he was associated with rich local businessmen. He was considered the youngest, most courageous and most promising young official in Chenzhou at that time.
The fall of Cheng Zihua revealed the shady scene of Chenzhou's mineral resources. At that time, the number of officials and businessmen in Chenzhou who were implicated because of him was no less than three figures.
The provincial party committee made great efforts to clean up the environment in Chenzhou, and punished so many people without mercy. However, driven by greed, Chen Zhou's officialdom still has the phenomenon of advancing one after another.
How could Nie Bo turn this situation around by himself.
Xu Yishan's heart ached. He couldn't just watch Nie Bo fall into the abyss. He knows too well that human greed knows no bounds. As long as you stretch out your hand once, you can no longer control your greed.
Just as Xu Yishan expected, Xu Tao sent a large sum of money to Nie Bo.
Xu Tao gave the money because there was a mining disaster in his mine not long ago. According to relevant regulations, the number of casualties in mining accidents is clearly defined. The number of casualties at one time determines the level of reporting.
When the Chenzhou mine disaster happened, Xu Yishan was still a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Provincial Party Committee. At that time, Wen Hua, secretary of the municipal party committee, and the mayor went to the province to report the situation in person. The number given is three dead.
Xu Yishan looked at the dejected Nie Bo and asked, "How many people were killed or injured in the mining disaster?"
Nie Bo said sadly: "Twenty-eight."
"Twenty-eight?" Xu Yishan was taken aback. So many people died, they must be reported to Yanjing. And there must be accountability.
"Who decided to conceal the report?" Xu Yishan asked him seriously.
"Me." Nie Bo whispered, "Brother, there is a reason for this."
Xu Yishan said angrily: "How dare you conceal this kind of thing? Don't you know that paper can't cover fire? Do you know how serious the consequences of concealing the report will be?"
"I know." Nie Bo said in a low voice: "But I can't help it. It is a bloody fact that the miners were injured or killed. The more people involved, the worse it is for the compensation. Brother, you should know that every miner , They are the pillars of the family. If the pillars fall, the family will be broken up. The best way is to let the families of the victims get more compensation to make up for their grief of losing their loved ones."
"Do you think money can buy family members' understanding?"
"Yes." Nie Bo raised his head and said, "If we follow the compensation standards stipulated by the state, the maximum compensation for the 28 victims will be 800,000 yuan, and the minimum compensation will be 500,000 yuan. However, Xu Tao promised that as long as the number of victims is If it is reduced to three, he is willing to compensate each victim with 2 million yuan."
Nie Bo said that when dealing with the mine accident, the Standing Committee of the Chenzhou Municipal Party Committee had a lot of controversy over the confirmation of the number of people. Several members of the Standing Committee headed by Nie Bo stated that they reported the truth. However, other standing committee members pointed out at the meeting that if the investigation is too deep, it may affect the final compensation result. This is not good for the family of the deceased.
Secretary Wen Hua also said that even if the boss Xu Tao was pulled out and killed, it would not change the factual outcome. Striving for more compensation can at least give the family of the deceased financial comfort.
As the leader who personally participated in handling the mine disaster, Nie Bo had in-depth exchanges with the families of the deceased.
He found that the family members of the deceased seldom feel sad because of the death of their loved ones, and they are more concerned about the final compensation figures.
The family members begged Nie Bo to reduce the number of victims to less than three. Some family members even knelt in front of them and begged Nie Bo to raise his hand.
That mining accident was also the first time Nie Bo had formal contact with Xu Tao.
Xu Tao hinted to him that if he went to jail, it would be extremely difficult for the family members of the deceased to obtain compensation. If Secretary Nie can sympathize with the family of the deceased, he will do everything in his power to make herIt is up to you to get a satisfactory compensation.
Nie Bo knew that people like Xu Tao could do anything. And their risk awareness is particularly high. Of course, this risk awareness refers to the awareness of protecting themselves.
Xu Tao's unscrupulous hint made Nie Bo angry, but he was helpless. After all, shrewd people like Xu Tao don't have any property in their names for compensation.
He believes that the result of Xu Tao's imprisonment is that the family members of the deceased will not only lose their loved ones, but also feel helpless because they cannot receive compensation.
? The mine disaster occurred in a copper mine in Yizhang County. A gas explosion occurred in a mine 3,000 meters deep underground, and the 28 miners who were working were directly buried 3,000 meters deep.
"Did no rescue measures be taken at that time?"
Nie Bo shook his head with a heavy heart, "Three kilometers, there is no rescue at all."
"Who decided to give up the rescue?" Xu Yishan frowned, "28 living lives, do you have the heart to watch them buried deep underground and not take rescue measures?"
"Not at all. After the mine accident, Chenzhou City sent a rescue team. However, the rescue was too difficult. Moreover, there is no guarantee that the final rescue will be successful." Nie Bo sighed: "At that time, the family members were also consulted. The vast majority of the family members unanimously agreed to give up the rescue.¡±
"If the family members agree, you have complied with the family members' opinions?" Xu Yishan asked coldly: "Nie Bo, let me ask you, if the ones buried in the ground are your brothers and sisters, are you willing to give up?"
Nie Bo smiled wryly and said, "Brother, my strength alone is limited, and I can't turn the situation around at all."
"Secretary Wen agrees?"
Nie Bo hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Secretary Wen didn't make a statement. Because the rescue commander is not him, but me."
"So, you decided to give up the rescue?"
Nie Bo panicked and said, "It was a collective decision."
"Tell me, how much did Xu Tao send you?"
Nie Bo said embarrassingly: "5 million. However, I didn't take a penny of this money." He explained: "I handed over the money to the Chenzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and turned it over to the state treasury as fined."
"Five million will make you lose your bottom line and principles." Xu Yishan said sadly: "It seems that I misjudged you."
Nie Bo panicked and said, "Brother, my thoughts at the time were too simple. I thought that as long as the family members of the deceased got the compensation they wanted, it would be a good thing. After all, this compensation is for every family member of the victim. Say, it¡¯s all in the snow.¡±
"Shut up!" Xu Yishan said angrily: "As a person and an official, you should have a bottom line and principles. I believe you are doing what is best for the families of the victims, but you violated the bottom line. This is unforgivable."
Nie Bo lowered his head and didn't make another sound.
