The Yichun career of the four Gao'an fellow villagers: on the road of corruption, they promoted each other and fell one after another

author:Southern Metropolis Daily

He saw a piece of "feng shui treasure land" covering an area of nearly 20 acres, so he opened his mouth to a boss to pay for the land, built a villa villa, planted valuable trees, dug a pond to raise fish, and named it "Good Luck Villa";

He "hunted" his boss to the extreme, and in eight years, he accumulated more than 30 million yuan in project construction;

He likes the title of "boss", and has been the director of the Yichun Highway Bureau for eight years, and colleagues and subordinates have called him "boss" for eight years;

The night before he fell from power, he was still feasting and having fun, and when he was drunk, he said wildly during the banquet, "I don't have much of a problem, and this time I will at most deal with it in the 'third form'," and the next day he was taken away by the staff of the Jiangxi Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission and detained him.

On December 15, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission published an article revealing many insiders of the case of Deng Jipeng, former deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee and former director of the Management Committee of the Yichun Economic and Technological Development Zone in Jiangxi Province, for serious violations of discipline and law.

Deng Jipeng's fall is like a domino pushed. Xiong Xiaojun, former secretary of the party committee and chairman of the board of directors of Yichun Transportation Investment Group Co., Ltd., Yan Ganhui, former secretary of the Yichun Municipal CPC Committee, and Hu Jiangping, member of the party group and deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Yichun Municipal People's Congress, have successively fallen from their posts, and these four people are all fellow villagers in Gao'an, Jiangxi, who have intersected in their careers, and even promoted each other on the road of corruption, and now they have embarked on the road of no return.

Overbearing dictatorship, called "boss" by subordinates for 8 years

Deng Jipeng, a 60-year-old native of Gao'an, Jiangxi, worked in enterprises in his early years, successively serving as the "number one" of Zhangshu Lifting Machinery Factory and Zhangshu Four Special Distillery, and then from business to government, successively serving as a member of the Standing Committee and Vice Mayor of Zhangshu Municipal Party Committee, director of Yichun Economic and Trade Commission, secretary of the Party Group, director of the Yichun Highway Administration Bureau, deputy secretary of the Party Committee, deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee and director of the Management Committee (deputy department level) of Yichun Economic and Technological Development Zone.

Whether it is in the enterprise or in the government department, hegemony is Deng Jipeng's label.

As early as 2000, at the provincial food exhibition sponsored by the Jiangxi Provincial Government, Deng Jipeng, then director of the Si special distillery, in order to crush other liquor brands in the province, took over all the advertising spaces in the four major sections of the main venue Bayi Square at that time, with the intention of turning the province's food exhibition into a promotion meeting for the four special liquors. With the intervention of the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission and other relevant departments, they did not give up and did not give in, and organized more than 100 employees to petition in Nanchang collectively, never giving up advertising space.

During his tenure as director of the Yichun Highway Bureau, Deng Jipeng knew that the transfer of large amounts of funds needed to be studied collectively, and he twice decided to embezzle 30 million yuan from the Yichun Highway Bureau to help the "good brothers" enterprises borrow "bridge fees".

He liked the title of "boss", claiming to have been the director of the Yichun Highway Bureau and the deputy secretary of the party committee for eight years, and colleagues and subordinates called him "boss" for eight years. Middle-level cadres see him like a mouse seeing a cat, they don't dare to say it loudly, and it must not be more than 5 minutes to report to his office, unless he is happy, it is "not knowing each other, looking for scolding."

In his post as deputy secretary of the party working committee and director of the management committee of the Yichun Economic and Technological Development Zone, as the "second in command" of the economic development zone, he still had to "say every word and nine words"; even at the democratic life meeting, he refused to let others put forward any criticism; whoever disobeyed him would find the stubble of whom; the style of training and cursing people did not change in the slightest, and all the county-level cadres in the economic development zone were scolded by him over and over again.

Greedy, the total amount of bribes received is as high as more than 43 million yuan

In addition to being "domineering", Deng Jipeng was greedy and unscrupulous, and colluded with unscrupulous businessmen.

In 2003, Deng Jipeng saw a "feng shui treasure land" covering an area of nearly 20 acres next to Bajing Town, Gao'an City, so he opened his mouth to the boss Wang Moumou, who invested 400,000 yuan to get this land for him, and he built a villa in it, planted valuable trees, dug ponds to raise fish, and named it "Good Luck Villa".

During his tenure as director of the Yichun Municipal Highway Bureau, Deng Jipeng wantonly amassed wealth and brought "power realization" to the extreme in these bosses who "hunted" him: He gave a big "green light" to the businessman Hu XX in engineering construction, land development, projects undertaken by enterprises affiliated with the Highway Bureau, project costs, and bidding and bidding, and accepted bribes of up to more than 20 million yuan from Hu XX, of which a single bribe amounted to tens of millions of yuan; accepted a bribe of 2.5 million yuan from zhou xx, the boss of the greening project; accepted a bribe of 2.5 million yuan from the owner of the renovation project, Cao XX, the boss of the decoration project, Lai bribed 500,000 yuan... In eight years, Deng Jipeng accumulated more than 30 million yuan in project construction.

Deng Jipeng believes that "men either become officials and become high officials, or they get rich and get rich, and only in this way can they reflect the value of men." In this way, Deng Jipeng received 10 million yuan from the beginning of 1,000 yuan to the later single payment, and the total amount of bribes was as high as more than 43 million yuan.

In order to enjoy, in order to improve the reception standards and reception grade, Deng Jipeng decided to transfer 1 million yuan of public funds without authorization and sent a special car to Guizhou to buy Moutai wine. There are merchants who come and accompany merchants to drink; no merchants come, go to the enterprise canteen to drink, drink in different ways; even drink at noon on weekdays, feeling that "there is no difference before and after the introduction of the eight regulations."

Deng Jipeng also carried out a major renovation of the office building of the Yichun Highway Bureau, everything was in line with "luxury", decorated according to the "four-star" standard, and his own office area was more than 80 square meters plus a 15 square meter lounge, and it was also specially equipped with an air purifier. In addition to work vehicles, the company is also equipped with imported Mitsubishi off-road vehicles and Toyota overbearing off-road vehicles to facilitate their own wild fishing. Frequently eat and drink in private clubhouses. When I went to the county to investigate, I liked to be lively and lively, hugging before and after, and the county party secretary and the county chief were not happy to accompany the drinking, and they played with attitudes. In the case of knowing that illegal possession of firearms and ammunition is a criminal act, illegal possession of firearms and ammunition is due to the love of shooting. The level of lawlessness and awe-freeness is staggering.

On the evening of May 14, 2020, Deng Jipeng, then deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee and director of the Management Committee of the Yichun Economic and Technological Development Zone in Jiangxi Province, was feasting and having fun, and when he was drunk, he said wildly during the banquet, "I have no big problem, this time at most according to the 'third form'" The next day, however, he was taken away and placed in custody by the staff of the Jiangxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. In November of the same year, Deng Jipeng was double-dismissed, and the circular said that he had worked hard to hurt the people's wealth and vigorously engaged in formalism; he had lost his ideals and convictions, deviated from his original mission, deviated from the party's morality, was disloyal and dishonest to the party; he had a weak sense of discipline and law, undermined democratic centralism and organizational principles, was ignorant of reverence, was greedy and unscrupulous, colluded with lawless businessmen, and damaged public wealth and private interests; his life was corrupt and degenerate, and his moral character was corrupt.

On April 20 this year, the Intermediate People's Court of Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province, convicted Deng Jipeng of accepting bribes, embezzlement, embezzlement, abuse of power, and illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, and sentenced him to 18 years' imprisonment and a fine of 2 million yuan.

Four Gao'an fellow villagers "return to the same place"

Deng Jipeng's fall is like a domino pushed.

More than a week later, on May 26, 2020, the Jiangxi Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission and the Provincial Supervision Commission released the news that Xiong Xiaojun, secretary of the party committee and chairman of Yichun Transportation Investment Group Co., Ltd., was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and was designated by the Jiangxi Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission and the Provincial Supervision Commission to have jurisdiction, and is currently under the disciplinary review and supervision and investigation of the Nanchang Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission and the Municipal Supervision Commission.

Deng Jipeng and Xiong Xiaojun are fellow villagers in Gao'an, Jiangxi. Xiong Xiaojun has long been deeply involved in the field of transportation and has been working in the highway system. In 2010, Deng Jipeng was transferred from director of Yichun Economic and Trade Commission to director of Yichun Highway Administration, and Xiong Xiaojun had been working in Yichun Highway Administration for 3 years. Soon after, Xiong Xiaojun was promoted to deputy director and party committee member under Deng Jipeng. Since then, the two have worked together for a long time until Xiong Xiaojun was transferred to Yichun Transportation Investment Group Co., Ltd. in 2017.

In November 2020, Xiong Xiaojun was expelled from the party and public office. The circular said: Xiong Xiaojun engaged in power and money trading; embezzled public funds for personal use, the amount of which was particularly huge, and carried out profit-making activities; and abused his power, causing the interests of the state and the people to suffer heavy losses. In January this year, Xiong Xiaojun was indicted by the Nanchang Municipal People's Procuratorate on charges of accepting bribes, embezzlement, abuse of power, and embezzlement.

A month after Deng Jipeng's fall, Yan Ganhui, then secretary of the Yichun Municipal CPC Committee, was investigated.

Yan Ganhui was also a native of Gao'an and was very close to Deng Jipeng, who was a subordinate whom Yan Ganhui relied on, and Yan Ganhui was in charge of the Economic and Trade Commission when he was the vice mayor of Yichun City, and Deng Jipeng was the "number one" of the Economic and Trade Commission.

In June 2017, Yan Ganhui was transferred back to Yichun from shangrao mayor and became the secretary of the municipal party committee, when Deng Jipeng was the director of the Yichun Highway Administration Bureau and deputy secretary of the party committee.

Deng Jipeng and Yan Ganhui, who was also very happy and engaged in image engineering, "hit it off at once."

During his tenure as director of the Yichun Municipal Highway Bureau, Deng Jipeng adopted the methods of asset capitalization, project management enterprise, and investment and financing marketization, established a transportation investment group, raised nearly 3 billion yuan, and vigorously engaged in government performance projects and image projects. In order to "have face and a seat" in front of his superiors, he said unashamedly, "It has nothing to do with me, as long as it is not 'exposed' during the long period of my authorities."

Soon after Yan Ganhui returned to Yichun as secretary of the municipal party committee, he also wanted to make some "achievements" quickly and gain political capital for himself. In this context, the Yiwan Tongcheng Fast Track Project "came into being". This is an urban road connecting the central urban area of Yichun with Wanzai County, built according to the standard of two-way six-lane urban roads, and is the largest investment project in the history of Yichun. After Yan Ganhui proposed this project, he immediately handed over to Deng Jipeng to do the preliminary work. Deng Jipeng tried every means to turn the leadership's "intention" into a realistic "blueprint", and completed the project feasibility report and preliminary design plan "efficiently" within four months. Without argumentation, without consulting professional institutions, and without democratic decision-making, the project was launched, laying many hidden risks.

In June 2018, at the age of 57, Deng Jipeng was promoted to deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee and director of the Management Committee of Yichun Economic Development Zone near the age of retirement, and ranked at the level of deputy department. In order to get praise in the inspection and evaluation of the city's economic and social development and party building in 2019 carried out by the Yichun Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, and achieve eye-catching "political achievements", Deng Jipeng decided to implement the green landscape upgrading and transformation project of the Economic Development Zone and Chunfeng Road in spite of the actual situation of the low annual financial revenue of the Economic Development Zone. Regardless of the climatic conditions in Yichun, under the condition that professionals clearly informed that canary date trees and other disease-prone insects are not suitable for planting in Yichun, they insisted on planting a large number of high-priced tree species such as Canary date trees, resulting in a high mortality rate of the seedlings planted, and the relevant project budget reached 160 million yuan.

On June 8, 2020, Yan Ganhui was dismissed from his post and was investigated on the same day. In February this year, Yan Ganhui was expelled from the party and dismissed from public office, and the circular said that he turned a blind eye to the major policy decisions and arrangements of the party Central Committee, deviated from reality, and unilaterally pursued the scale of construction, seriously hindering the long-term development of the local economy and society; nepotism, distorting the orientation of employing people, and seriously corrupting the atmosphere of selecting and appointing people; and "pro-" and "clean" relations between government and business, and wantonly using the power in his hands to amass wealth, seriously undermining the local political ecology. On April 16, Yan Ganhui was sentenced to 11 years in prison. The court trial found that from 2007 to 2020, Yan Ganhui amassed 26.119 million yuan, and his reports and exposing the crimes of others were verified to be true and had meritorious performance, and he was given a lenient punishment according to law.

A month after Yan Ganhui fell, in July 2020, Hu Quanshun, secretary of the Wanzai County Party Committee in Yichun City, was investigated. On 26 March this year, the Jiangxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision held a warning education conference in Yichun City, taking yan Ganhui, Deng Jipeng, and Hu Quanshun as a mirror for three cases of serious violations of discipline and law by the top leaders. At the warning education conference, a confessional film of the above three people was played, and more than 2,800 party members and cadres in the city attended the meeting. On the second day of the warning meeting, after Zhang Qinghua, secretary of the party leading group and director of the Standing Committee of the Wanzai County People's Congress, voluntarily surrendered, 34 more people in Yichun City took the initiative to explain the problem.

Just two days ago, on the evening of December 13, the Jiangxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision released the news that Hu Jiangping, a member of the party leading group and deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Yichun Municipal People's Congress, was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law and is currently under review and investigation.

Hu Jiangping, a native of Gao'an, Jiangxi, who will turn 57 this year, has served in the Yichun district of Jiangxi for a long time, and has served as a member of the Standing Committee and Vice Mayor of the Gao'an Municipal Party Committee, deputy secretary of the Zhangshu Municipal Party Committee, acting mayor, mayor, and secretary of the Fengcheng City Party Committee. In October 2019, Hu Jiangping was appointed as a member of the party group and vice mayor of Yichun Municipal Government, and the secretary of the municipal party committee at that time was Yan Ganhui, who witnessed Yan Ganhui's downfall and trial. On October 28 this year, Hu Jiangping took office as a member of the party group and deputy director of the Standing Committee of the New Yichun Municipal People's Congress, and was elected chairman of the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions in November.

It is worth noting that Deng Jipeng, Xiong Xiaojun, Yan Ganhui, and Hu Jiangping are all fellow villagers of Gao'an, Jiangxi, which is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Jiangxi Province and is managed by Yichun City. The careers of the four people were concentrated in the Yichun area, and now they have all fallen one after another.
