Very quickly, more than twenty people involved in bribery documented in the ledger were all arrested.
Since this matter involved Cao Bencong, Beihuang County immediately convened the "Countywide Cadre Discipline and Conduct Rectification Conference."
At the meeting, Hao Wenjing not only seriously criticized Cao Bencong's actions but also emphasized.
"In the coming period, the County Disciplinary Inspection Committee will form an investigation team to inspect all towns. If there are still corruption issues, I will punish them severely. I hope everyone can uphold the bottom line and supervise each other."
After the meeting ended, Tang Heqing and the others gathered at Gu Kong's house to discuss strategies.
Compared to the anxious few, Gu Kong appeared very calm.
"Since the situation is against us, we must be more united. But the fool who gave gifts to Cao Bencong truly is stupid—giving gifts and keeping accounts, that's asking for trouble!"
