After my rebirth, I became the son-in-law of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary

Han Jianguo's words immediately evoked Zhou Yi's memories, and he couldn't help but reveal a deep smile at the corner of his mouth.

Otherwise, why would he have such a deep impression and affection for Jiangnan, especially Changtian?

The main thing is that everyone here is talented. Not only do they speak well, but some of them also have particularly deep ties with him.

For example, Wen Wan, the female gangster Zhao Qiu Shui, and the former Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Ye Feng, whom he had always forced to take credit for.

Zhou Yi felt that Ye Feng's promotion to the mayor of Changtian City was more or less due to his contribution. Thinking back to the time, he had given Ye Feng the heads of so many corrupt officials, which really touched Ye Feng!

After the conversation started, Zhou Yi still asked Han Jianguo about his opinions on the two leaders, Yan Huafeng and Zheng Qisheng.

Han Jianguo's evaluation is also very objective and more comprehensive. For example, when talking about the relationship between the two top leaders, he expressed it this way.

"Secretary Yan not only controls the direction of Jiangnan's development, but also takes personal responsibility for implementing the city's infrastructure. He requires Yang Lixin, the deputy governor in charge of urban construction, to report progress directly to him!"

"Governor Zheng thinks Secretary Yan has spread his wings too wide and has different views on the direction of the planning. Governor Zheng thinks that Tianhou Ganquan should be built first, and the other urban areas will be decided based on the response to these two plans."

From the above words, it is not difficult for Zhou Yi to draw a conclusion - Yan Huafeng monopolizes power, Zheng Qisheng dares to be angry but not to speak out, and on the surface the two of them seem to be working in harmony, but in fact they are not in harmony with each other.

"Do you know Zhu Changlei?" Zhou Yi continued to ask.

Han Jianguo was also stunned for a moment. He called out the name, and he actually called out the name directly!

He and Wen Wan had similar ideas. They both believed that those who were targeted and paid special attention by the inspection team were basically in danger.

"I haven't had much contact with Deputy Secretary Zhu, but I've heard rumors that he's a very strong person, a bit like a gangster, and very strict with his subordinates. He promoted Public Security Bureau Director Jin Haiyan, who was also scolded by him. Even the Chief Prosecutor and the President of the Court are a little afraid of him."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly. Based on the descriptions of Wen Wan and Han Jianguo, the image of a leading cadre with a sharp appearance, arrogant attitude and rough style had already formed in his mind.

Why did he ask about 'Zhu Changlei'?

It is precisely because the inspection team has received reports from the masses, and the key issues involved are precisely the "Jiangnan Water Village" comprehensive development project that Jiangnan is now promoting, which integrates "ecology, culture, and tourism."

When planning and implementing a multi-billion-dollar development project, there is always a key issue that cannot be avoided, and that is land acquisition and demolition! And in land acquisition and demolition, there is always a key problem that cannot be avoided - demolition compensation.

The reason why it is called a difficult problem is that in this process, there are countless demolition disputes, and forced demolition leading to death and large-scale mass incidents are not uncommon.

On the one hand, unscrupulous developers use violence to force and exploit the relocated households in order to reduce costs and earn huge profits. On the other hand, it cannot be ruled out that some of the relocated households are greedy and ask for exorbitant prices.

In short, in every demolition dispute, the public security organs will play an extremely important role in handling such difficult situations.

As the highest leader of the province's public security, procuratorial and judicial systems, Zhu Changlei, who serves as the provincial party committee deputy secretary and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, was the key figure who played a decisive role in several consecutive forced demolitions that resulted in deaths and almost led to mass incidents!

First, forced demolition resulted in three deaths, then five deaths. Later, the residents whose homes were being demolished were preparing to gather in front of the Ganquan Municipal Government to petition. As a result, the Provincial Public Security Department and the Ganquan Municipal Public Security Bureau jointly dispatched forces and forcibly dispersed the crowd halfway.

After the incident was exposed, it quickly caused heated discussions on the Internet. Major news media focused on Jiangnan, and many reporters went to Ganquan to interview and report.

Under such circumstances, the Public Security Department of Jiangnan Province once again took extremely tough action and sent police forces to Jixing Province. They arrested Gong Hua, a reporter from Jixing Express who had published a series of articles exposing the collusion between officials and gangs in Jiangnan Province to carry out violent demolitions, and brought him back to Jiangnan and detained him in a detention center.

The order to arrest people across provinces was definitely issued by the Provincial Public Security Department, but the Provincial Public Security Department also received instructions from Zhu Changlei.

After finishing the conversation with Han Jianguo, Zhou Yi also had separate conversations with Public Security Department Director Jin Haiyan, Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Min Shengliang, Provincial Procuratorate Prosecutor General Qu Jiaquan and others.

When asked about their opinions on the provincial party secretary and the provincial governor, these people all gave formulaic words of praise.

When Zhou Yi mentioned the name "Zhu Changlei" again, the reactions of Public Security Department Chief Jin Haiyan and others suddenly changed significantly.

"Deputy Secretary Zhu is straightforward and a bit harsh on us. He is a good person and his leadership ability is beyond reproach. The June 25 case was solved quickly only after Deputy Secretary Zhu personally inquired and supervised it, especially after he pointed out the direction for solving the case!"

Jin Haiyan's serious expression made Zhou Yi a little confused about whether he was trying to flatter Zhu Changlei or whether he really admired Zhu Changlei.

"The recent death caused by demolition was indeed an accident. The household being demolished wanted two more houses and was reluctant to move out. As a result, at this time, the man discovered that his wife was cheating on him. In a rage, he killed his wife and set the house on fire..."

Jin Haiyan also considered that the inspection team would not name Deputy Secretary Zhu for no reason, and it was most likely because of the recent demolition incident. Because he also heard rumors that the owner of the real estate development company responsible for the demolition of the urban village was Deputy Secretary Zhu's niece.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, the three deaths caused by the demolition were indeed purely accidental, and Director Jin felt that he needed to explain it to the leaders of the inspection team.

When it came to the deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Min Shengliang, the story was different.

"What can I say about Deputy Secretary Zhu? He is so powerful that we are all a little afraid of him, haha. Just kidding, but every time I report on my work, I am really nervous!"

As for Chief Prosecutor Qu Jiaquan, he complained helplessly:

"Deputy Secretary Zhu doesn't like to listen to other people's opinions on work. For example, I was firmly opposed to arresting reporters in a different place and instructing our procuratorate to approve the arrest, but..."

At the same time, team leader Xiang Changan had also finished his conversations with the provincial party secretary and the provincial governor.

However, Yan Xuefeng and Zheng Qisheng gave completely different evaluations of Zhu Changlei.

"Comrade Chang Lei is good. I like him both as a person and as a worker. But he is too straightforward and likes to offend people!"

"Comrade Chang Lei, to be honest, I personally think that some things are not done very well. Sometimes you are too self-centered and stubborn. This is not conducive to unity or work!"

Afterwards, Xiang Changan summarized the information from Zhou Yi and couldn't help feeling a little strange.

Zhu Changlei has a polarized reputation, making it difficult for people to tell whether he is loyal or treacherous, good or bad!

But it doesn’t matter, Zhou Yi is here.

"Xiao Zhou, how about you meet him in person?" Xiang Chang'an asked Zhou Yi for his opinion with a smile.
