Chapter 356 Li Zhengjun's Autobiography
Chapter 356 Li Zhengjun's Autobiography
After Fu Guosheng and Li Zhengjun were brought down, there was a major earthquake in the local officialdom and many of their direct subordinates were arrested.
All the bosses and big brothers in the society who got rich by relying on these two people were also dealt with. All those who should be arrested were arrested, and many cases were involved, including eight murders.
This also triggered a new round of anti-corruption campaign, and everyone in the officialdom felt insecure.
Due to the high level of public attention, the procuratorate and the court were under great pressure, and the trial was made public within two months.
Li Zhengjun was sentenced to death and deprived of his political rights for life for instigating murder, dereliction of duty, and suspected of organizing a gang of organized crime.
After the verdict was read, there was silence in the courtroom for a few seconds, followed by thunderous applause.
"Good verdict! This Li Zhengjun deserves to die ten thousand times!"
"Son... God has opened his eyes and sentenced the beast Li Zhengjun to death..."
"Whether the city is in chaos or not, Li Zhengjun has the final say... He wears a police uniform during the day and is an underground emperor at night. He has been entrenched here for more than ten years and has caused a lot of trouble to people."
"Quiet." The presiding judge looked at Li Zhengjun and said coldly, "You have the right to make a final statement."
Li Zhengjun smiled with relief and said, "I am a kid from the countryside. I worked as a police officer at the grassroots level and arrested suspects."
"I was stabbed three times while fighting with the criminals. The state awarded me a certificate of merit."
"At that time, I really wanted to be a good policeman, serve the people, eliminate evil and promote good..."
"Because of that heroic injury, I, who had no background, was appreciated by Fu Guosheng."
"I remember very clearly that he took the initiative to shake my hand in front of the reporters and media. He also said some inspiring words!"
"Later, I got a promotion. He patted me on the shoulder and said, 'Do a good job.'"
"I was transferred from a grassroots police officer in the village to a deputy director in the county. It was this step that led me to an endless abyss."
"I saw how omnipotent power is, and I saw a world I had never seen before."
"Although I was very tempted, I still held on to my original intention."
"I have never forgotten what my father told me: be down-to-earth and do more practical things for the people. Don't bring shame to the Li family..."
"Hehe... But you know what? Being in this position, you are already in the vortex."
"I was promoted by Fu Guosheng, so naturally, I was also branded by him by others."
"At the time, there was another leader competing with Fu Guosheng for the position of secretary. At this moment, we had to take sides."
"If you stand in the right position, you will have a bright future."
"If you stand on the wrong side, the best outcome is just standing still and waiting for retirement."
"It's not going to be a good ending. Maybe you'll end up having to eat the pot."
"Maybe many of you feel that this is alarmist, but it is real. The dark side of society is the officialdom..."
"If leaders want to climb the ladder, they have to show political achievements."
"Where do political achievements come from? If you need money, you have to support enterprises and clear all obstacles ahead."
"How many fools are there who can make a company bigger and stronger? There are too many things involved. They have to tie us officials together. They are afraid that we will abandon us when we are no longer useful."
"So, are you going to accept the money these people are sending you or not?"
"If you don't accept it, people won't work for you. If you accept it, you'll be making a mistake."
"I just did what most people in government would do in order to have a long political career."
"I can only stand with Fu Guosheng and become his weapon."
"Faced with temptation and the constant corruption of my colleagues, I became greedy and I couldn't stay out of it."
"It's the same with political opponents. Friction and infighting will naturally arise."
"But everyone has a bottom line. Don't go too far, and don't make a big deal out of it. If the higher-ups notice it, it's all over..."
"In the struggle for the position of secretary, Fu Guosheng won and took the top spot."
"Do you know what happened to my political enemies? I caught their dirty gloves and almost all of their backbones were sentenced!"
"We are on the rise, while our opponents are in jail."
"Looking across the country, who among those who have reached our position dares to pat their chest and say that they are clean?"
"I was promoted step by step by Fu Guosheng and became the head of the city police department. My power also reached its peak."
"In the past ten years or so, I have been very comfortable. I have even forgotten the oath I took under the national emblem."
"I brought investment to the village where I grew up, built roads and schools. Every year I would visit them with a large truckload of daily necessities."
"But I could feel that the distance between me and them was getting farther and farther. They were even too nervous to talk to me."
"Those people are the simplest villagers, and many of them are the elderly who watched me grow up..."
"I suddenly felt very empty inside, and I asked myself what I had been doing all these years!"
"Why did it come to this? Make them afraid of me!"
"But...I have no way out. I can only go down this path until the end."
"After saying so much, I just want to say that there is more than just me, Li Zhengjun, in society."
"It exists now, it will exist in the future, and it will always exist!"
"You can scold me, hate me, or even wish I were dead."
"But in the dye vat, the vat is full of color, who can come out clean?"
"When I made a mistake for the first time, I was also very nervous. But there was no blame around me, only praise. Can you understand? Haha..."
“Is it my problem or society’s problem?”
"If I could do it all over again, I would rather stay in a rural police station and be a grassroots police officer for the rest of my life."
"I plead guilty, accept the sentence, and will not appeal..."
Li Zhengjun looked lonely, and tears could be vaguely seen in his eyes.
Just as everyone was thinking about Li Zhengjun's words, the presiding judge sentenced Fu Guosheng.
The charges were similar, but he was sentenced to suspended death sentence.
Fu Guosheng had no expression on his face and was unusually calm: "I have nothing to say. I will not appeal."
Li Zhengjun turned his head to look at him, and his smile gradually became sad.
He was sentenced to death for the same crime, while Fu Guosheng was sentenced to suspended death sentence.
Why? Because there are people above Fu Guosheng, it’s that simple.
Although there is only one word difference between death penalty and suspended death sentence, their meanings are worlds apart.
Li Zhengjun is doomed to die, but Fu Guosheng still has a chance of escaping.
Li Zhengjun actually knew a lot of things, even knew who was above Fu Guosheng.
But he couldn't say it, and couldn't tell it. The best ending would be that it ended here with him and Fu Guosheng...
If he bites indiscriminately like a mad dog, he will only harm his own family.
