Investigation on the confrontation between officials in Pingxiang, Jiangxi Province： pretending to be stupid in the early stage, pretending to be sick in the later stage, and pretending to be crazy at

Recently, a criminal judgment published by China Judgment Document Network revealed the case of Zhang Xuemin, former member of the Standing Committee of Pingxiang Municipal Committee of Jiangxi Province and secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, taking bribes.

In 2008, Zhang Xuemin, then vice mayor of Pingxiang City, interceded for a developer who failed to apply for a pre-sale permit for commercial housing and illegally collected a customer deposit, and received a total of 150,000 yuan in bribes from the developer.

This is just the tip of the iceberg in Zhang Xuemin’s huge bribery case.

In May 2015, the Compilation of Typical Cases of party member Cadres’ Violation of Discipline and Law since 2011 compiled by Pingxiang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision (hereinafter referred to as "Compilation") showed that Zhang Xuemin and Yan Dewen, the former chairman of Pingxiang CPPCC, received a maximum of tens of millions of yuan in bribes, setting a record for economic duty crimes in Pingxiang, which is also rare in Jiangxi Province, and can be described as "a snake swallowing like a snake".

On February 28, 2014, the Jiangxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection announced the news that two department-level cadres in Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province were dismissed at the same time.Yan Dewen, then chairman of Pingxiang CPPCC.andZhang Xuemin, then member of the Standing Committee of Pingxiang Municipal Committee and Secretary General of Municipal Committee.Be investigated together.

Before that,Chen Anzhong, former deputy director of the Standing Committee of Jiangxi Provincial People’s Congress, chairman of the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, and Sun Jiaqun, former member of the Standing Committee of Pingxiang Municipal Committee and executive deputy mayor.They have all been investigated. Chen Anzhong once served as secretary of Pingxiang Municipal Party Committee.

After the fall of Yan Dewen and Zhang Xuemin,He Weilin, former chairman of Pingxiang CPPCC, and Chen Weimin, former secretary of Pingxiang Municipal Committee.It also "collapsed" in the "earthquake" of Pingxiang officialdom. For a time, Pingxiang became the "hardest hit" of corruption in Jiangxi.

Zhang Xuemin, former member of the Standing Committee of Pingxiang Municipal Committee and Secretary-General of the Municipal Committee.

Many people have been sentenced for corruption in Pingxiang.

A few days ago, The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) reporter learned from the judicial department of Ganzhou City that both cases of Yan Dewen and Zhang Xuemin had been decided in the first instance, but because both of them appealed, the relevant person in charge of the judicial department did not disclose the sentence period and related cases of Yan Dewen and Zhang Xuemin in the first instance.

He Weilin was sentenced to five and a half years’ imprisonment by Jiujiang Intermediate People’s Court for accepting bribes and abusing his power. However, after the verdict was pronounced in the first instance, He Weilin refused to accept the appeal.

The verdict held by The Paper reporter shows that the object of bribing Zhang Xuemin is Li Longhui, the chairman of Pingxiang Longfei Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. On September 10th, 2015, the People’s Court of fengcheng city, Jiangxi Province sentenced Li Longhui to one year and four months’ imprisonment for bribing Zhang Xuemin and Rao Benchun, then director of Pingxiang Housing Management Bureau, totaling 270,000 yuan.

Three months after Li Longhui’s case was pronounced in the first instance, in the case of He Weilin, the former chairman of Pingxiang Municipal Political Consultative Conference, which was heard on December 9, 2015, there was another accusation that He Weilin accepted Li Longhui’s bribery.

According to the indictment, Li Longhui, the owner of Pingxiang Longfei Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., gave He Weilin 20,000 yuan in 2011 when he moved. During the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival from 2006 to 2012, he Weilin was given a total of 122,000 yuan 21 times.

At the request of Li Longhui, He Weilin took advantage of his position as the chairman of Pingxiang CPPCC to greet the relevant personnel in 2005, and helped Li Longhui get the tax preferential treatment of Meilun Hua Ting project of more than 580,000 yuan from the Goose Lake Management Office. In 2008, he greeted the relevant personnel and helped Li Longhui get back the deposit of 4 million yuan from the Anyuan Forest Park Management Committee. In 2011, he greeted the relevant personnel and asked them to take care of the Xiubo Garden project developed by Li Longhui.

Around March 2014, He Weilin returned Li Longhui 150,000 yuan for fear of organizing an investigation.

The Paper reporter learned from many channels that in the first trial of He Weilin’s case, the amount of bribes that He Weilin accepted from Li Longhui was determined by the court.

An insider close to He Weilin’s case told the The Paper reporter that in the previous judicial trial of Li Longhui, the judgment did not mention the accusation of bribing He Weilin, but in the first trial of He Weilin’s case, the court found that he accepted Li Longhui’s bribe. This "legal back door" phenomenon is puzzling, and it also shows that the judicial departments concerned have too much discretion and violate the fairness of the law.

Developers regularly send red envelopes three times a year.

The above judgment shows that since July 2007, the Longfei Jinxiu Jiayuan real estate project developed by Pingxiang Longfei Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Longfei Company") has hired an agency to engage in sales, and the customer’s deposit has been illegally charged more than 200,000 yuan without pre-sale permit.

In March 2008, Pingxiang City Real Estate Management Supervision Brigade discovered this situation, and it was necessary to punish Longfei Company according to law. According to the Regulations on the Management of Urban Real Estate Development and Operation, it was necessary to confiscate the house purchase deposit charged by illegal sales and impose a fine of 1% of the sales amount.

In order to seek illegitimate interests, so that the company’s violations can be mitigated, Li Longhui, the legal representative and chairman of Longfei Company, found Zhang Xuemin, then the vice mayor in charge of housing management and urban construction, to intercede. Zhang Xuemin should ask for help to call Rao Benchun, then director of Pingxiang Housing Management Bureau, to intercede for Longfei Company. Later, Li Longhui also found Rao Benchun. The matter was finally punished in violation of regulations, and the illegal income was confiscated for 10,000 yuan.

Li Longhui is engaged in real estate development, and Zhang Xuemin is in charge of housing management and urban construction.In order to thank Zhang Xuemin for interceding for the company and asking him for something in the future, from 2006 to 2013, Li Longhui would send red envelopes to Zhang Xuemin’s office every Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. The red envelope sent every Spring Festival is 10,000 yuan, and the red envelope sent every Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival is 5,000 yuan.Zhang Xuemin received a total of 150,000 yuan in bribes from Li Longhui. In addition, from 2008 to 2012, Li Longhui paid a bribe of 120,000 yuan to Rao Benchun (handled separately).

About two months after Zhang Xuemin’s fall, that is, on April 23rd, 2014, Rao Benchun, who was bribed by Li Longhui with Zhang Xuemin, was also arrested and investigated. When the horse fell, Rao Benchun had been transferred to the post of Party Secretary and Director of Pingxiang Archives Bureau.

After Zhang Xuemin and Rao Benchun were dismissed, Li Longhui, then a member of the Standing Committee of Pingxiang Municipal Political Consultative Conference, who paid bribes to them, was also taken away for investigation by the relevant case-handling departments.

The above judgment also shows that Li Longhui, male, was born in Anyuan District, Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province in April 1951, with a primary school education. He was a former member and standing committee member of Pingxiang CPPCC. On May 16th, 2014, Li Longhui was placed under residential surveillance at the designated residence of the People’s Procuratorate of fengcheng city on suspicion of bribery. On May 26th of the same year, he was detained by the People’s Procuratorate of fengcheng city, and was arrested on June 6th of the same year. On September 10th, 2015, the People’s Court of fengcheng city, Jiangxi Province sentenced Li Longhui to one year and four months’ imprisonment for committing bribery in the company.

In August 2015, the People’s Court of Anyuan District, Pingxiang City ruled in the first instance that Rao Benchun was sentenced to 11 years and 6 months in prison for committing bribery and corruption.

After Rao Benchun’s verdict was pronounced in the first instance, the China discipline inspection and supervision newspaper once reported on Rao Benchun’s violation of discipline with the title "No bottom line for undisciplined behavior", sayingRao Benchun even had to reimburse the lost gambling money, promoted the driver to a deputy-level cadre in violation of regulations, and helped his mistress to operate as the secretary-general of the listed real estate association.

Information Daily reported on June 29, 2016 that recently, Pingxiang Intermediate People’s Court made a second-instance judgment on Rao Benchun (male, 54 years old, former director of Pingxiang Archives Bureau, party secretary, director of Pingxiang Real Estate Management Bureau when he was suspected of committing a crime) accepting bribes: Rao Benchun was convicted of accepting bribes, sentenced to 5 years in prison and fined RMB250,000. The court found that from February 2007 to November 2013, Rao Benchun took advantage of his position as the director of Pingxiang Housing Management Bureau to provide assistance for real estate enterprise project development, violation punishment, promotion of subordinate cadres and job transfer of employees, and illegally accepted property totaling 836,351 yuan.

Zhang Xuemin played the fool in the early stage and asked nothing; Then pretend to be sick and scare the case handlers with a "heart disease" that doesn’t exist at all; Finally, pretend to be crazy and interfere with the case handlers by kneeling, kowtowing and urinating in public.

Use the deeds of martyrs to "encourage" other officials to make offensive and defensive alliances.

In January this year, Xinhua News Agency published "Sample Analysis of Pingxiang Corruption" in Jiangxi Province ",which reported that,The circles of leading corrupt officials are independent of each other and compromise with each other because of overlapping plates and interest disputes, forming a joint case.

For example, there is a "mentoring relationship" between Yan Dewen and Sun Jiaqun, Sun’s promotion has been taken care of by Yan, and Zhang Xuemin and Yan Dewen have a classmate relationship. These intertwined and complicated interpersonal relationships provide convenient conditions for them to commit crimes together.

This special relationship is also valued by Zhang Xuemin. Before the fall of the horse, he also used the unyielding heroic deeds of a revolutionary martyr after his arrest to "encourage" Yan Dewen to reach an offensive and defensive alliance with himself and confront the investigation.

"After Sun Jiaqun and Chen Anzhong were organized to investigate one after another, Zhang Xuemin and Yan Dewen had a premonition that they would be exposed to the incident and formed an offensive and defensive alliance many times."

The Compilation also states that Zhang Xuemin has repeatedly found co-conspirators for collusion.

Yan Dewen mentioned in his confession: "On February 22, 2014, Pingxiang Municipal Committee organized mass line education and practice activities in the guesthouse to concentrate on learning. Zhang Xuemin told me that there was an article in Gong Quanzhen’s diary (the wife of Gan Zuchang, the founding general). He read it nine times and asked me to read it."

According to Zhang’s prompt, Yan Dewen found that Gong Quanzhen’s diary was about the unyielding heroic deeds of a revolutionary martyr after his arrest. Zhang Xuemin wanted to use this story to "encourage" Yan Dewen to reach an offensive and defensive alliance with himself. On February 25th, Zhang Xuemin found Yan Dewen again, saying that he would never say anything, and that he should be strong and never say anything if he was killed.

According to the description in the Compendium,After being investigated, Zhang Xuemin did his best to perform, playing dumb in the early stage and asking nothing; Then pretend to be sick and scare the case handlers with a "heart disease" that doesn’t exist at all; Finally, he pretended to be crazy, and interfered with the case handlers in extremely boring ways, such as kneeling, kowtowing and urinating in public, in an attempt to divert attention, completely losing the proper image of a departmental leading cadre.

In addition, the Repertory also mentioned that,In addition to He Weilin, Zhang Xuemin and other five people lead corrupt lives and commit adultery with others. In the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other festivals every year, Zhang Xuemin collects 600,000 yuan and 700,000 yuan from units and individuals respectively. Zhang Xuemin’s son started a financial consulting company. Every year, he symbolically went to some private enterprises in Pingxiang to look through the books and got a consulting fee of 150,000 yuan.

Zhang Xuemin also gave tens of millions of bribes to his mistress, Zhang’s younger brother and elder brother for safekeeping, and the agent was not only responsible for safekeeping, but also invested in "whitewashing".

In the Jinxiu Mountain Villa project in Pingxiang City, Zhang Xuemin and Yan Dewen instructed their agents to sign a Cooperative Development Agreement with the developer of the project in August 2005 in order to cover up the fact that they each demanded a bribe of tens of millions of yuan, and the amount they demanded was determined in the form of IOUs and agreements in the name of loan return for project construction, which not only ensured their illegal income, but also carried out "legal" packaging.

Afterwards, Zhang Xuemin also said: "With this agreement, my heart will be practical."
