On August 27, 2018, a major case was first instanced at the Luoyang Intermediate Court. The court sentenced the defendant to 22 years in prison, and the defendant and the backbone of his gang also pleaded guilty in court.
(Di Zhimin's trial scene)
After the court made up its mind, the news quickly spread to Dongsi Village, a small village in Henan Province, where local villagers clapped their hands and applauded when they heard about it, and they all went to the street to start celebrating.
The defendant in this case that made the villagers so excited was none other than Di Zhimin, the former party branch secretary who called himself "the emperor".
To this day, as long as the villagers of Dongsi Village hear this name, they are still angry and itchy, and their hatred for what he has done is always hard to dispel...
The underworld in poor villages
Di Zhimin, at first hearing this name, has the meaning of governing the country and the people, and it seems that his parents were also very careful when they named him. However, what Di Zhimin has done in this life has nothing to do with "governing the people".
Di Zhimin was born and raised in Dongsi Village, a state-level poor village with an extremely backward economy. As the saying goes, poor mountains and evil waters produce people, and the grassroots level in the grassroots like Dongsi Village is an area that is difficult to cover by rule of law management, so it has become the breeding ground of the underworld.
In such a poor place, since the law does not count, the only thing that can speak is the most primitive violence. Whoever has more men, fists and strength, can gain the right to speak in this village. Di Zhimin came to power with his own family back.
In 1997, with a large number of family members, Di Zhimin gathered them together and established the infamous "Eighteen Brotherhood", which has been running amok in this village for twenty years.
Di Zhimin did not have any good education, and he did all this only to satisfy his own selfish desires.
The Eighteen Brotherhood is a typical underworld organization, Di Zhimin himself as the eldest brother, with a group of younger brothers in the village to point out where to fight, relying on violence can rule others obediently.
Is there anything more satisfying in the world for this mafia boss?
In the face of the bullying of the members of the Eighteen Brotherhood, no villagers could resist them. They went around demanding protection money and beating up villagers, which has become commonplace for the organization. The villagers could only pinch their noses and endure, daring to be angry about it.
(Villagers' own experiences)
After a long time in the underworld, Di Zhimin was still not satisfied, and he began to set his sights on the village party branch.
He thought it was simple, with violence, he could now intimidate the whole village, so what if he got the power to manage the affairs of the village again?
Campaign for village cadres
In 2005, Dongsi Village began to hold a new election for village chief. After eight years as the boss of the underworld, Di Zhimin took the opportunity to take aim at this position. With the power behind him, he believes that it is easy for him to get the position of village chief.
On the day of the election, Di Zhimin took the Eighteen Brotherhood and went up to give a speech in disguise. After writing a blank cheque, he got off the stage on his toes and sat in the venue waiting for the result.
But this is still a regular election after all, and the candidate is not only Di Zhiming. When it was the turn of a candidate named Yang Cheng to speak, he vigorously criticized Di Zhimin's past behavior on the stage, and denounced Di Zhimin for running for village cadres as wishful thinking.
The villagers have been oppressed by Di Zhimin for a long time, and they are not stupid, how could they vote for him? After hearing Yang Cheng's inflammatory speech, the villagers made their own decisions.
The result is obvious, Yang Cheng was elected with a high vote.
The results of this election surprised Di Zhimin, there were still so many people in this village who did not listen to his orders, and they were also pointed at the nose and scolded.
Di Zhimin glanced at him, and the members of the Eighteen Brotherhood immediately acted. His son rushed to the stage in a few steps, knocked over the ticket box, and punched Yang Cheng in the face, even hitting his dentures to the ground. The other members also flocked up, kicking and kicking at Yang Cheng.
In the end, the election ended in a chaotic brawl.
It is reasonable to say that if such a blatant violation of fairness occurs, since the village cannot manage it, the town can always manage it, right?
The answer is that no one really cares.
The town government turned a blind eye to the incident, and nothing happened to Quan.
At that time, the party secretary of Xinghua Town claimed that only a tough person like Di Zhimin could govern the village well. He even bypassed the election directly and appointed Di Zhimin as the deputy director of the village committee.
In the face of such blatant acts of concealment, what else can the villagers at the bottom say? People had to accept this reality and expect Di Zhimin to be less of a demon during his tenure.
Bully rule village
For criminal elements like Di Zhimin, once power and violence are combined, it will have disastrous consequences.
Di Zhimin had no culture, and now that he was a cadre, he regarded everything in Dongsi Village as his own bag, and he wished that birds, beasts, insects, and fish would all be in his hands.
After Di Zhimin became the deputy director of the village committee, he quickly transferred himself to a full post. With intimidation and threats, he kicked out the party branch secretary and expelled all the village cadres from the village committee.
Before appointing members of the Eighteen Brotherhood, that was just his family affair. Now that all the cadres have been dismissed, who will do the work in the village?
In this regard, Di Zhimin said that trying to see what is in today's village is the world of the Di family.
Di Zhimin stuffed all his family members into the village committee, this one in charge of social security, the one in charge of agricultural infrastructure, one person and one official.
For Di Zhimin, serving the people does not exist. Like many corrupt officials in Rome, the first thing Di Zhimin did when he became the secretary of the party branch was to make money.
Although Dongsi Village is a poor village, this does not affect Di Zhimin's desire to accumulate wealth in the slightest. In order to make money, he can be said to do everything to the extreme.
Di Zhimin sucked the marrow of the economy and demanded money directly from the villagers, which was his routine operation in the past.
Locally, tobacco cultivation is an important agricultural industry. In order to make money, Di Zhimin even became a farmer, and the American plantation labor system was restored in Dongsi Village.
After coming to power, the collective land of Dongsi Village became his private land, and Di Zhimin became the farmer, taking these poor villagers as his slaves, forcing them to work in the farmland and perform hard labor, and all the income went into his pocket. As for the salary, sorry, of course there is none.
People like Di Zhimin, as long as it is money, they want to fish, and there are dates without dates to hit three rods. He must also withhold the condolences sent by the state to poor households.
During the New Year's Festival, rice flour oil was distributed on it, and Di Zhimin asked the younger brothers to go directly to the villagers' homes, cut off the fat part of the pork issued by the state, and leave some lean meat for the villagers.
Wool must be put to death, the money of the poor devil must be exploited, the government's money can not be spared, what low security funds, pensions, poverty alleviation special funds, Di Zhimin took all this money for himself, not a penny to the villagers.
In addition to exploiting layer by layer in the village, he did not even let go of the cars passing by. As the saying goes: I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, and if I want to live from now on, I will leave the money to buy the road. Di Zhimin did not hesitate to set up roadblocks and collect tolls from vehicles passing through Dongsi Village.
Even if the village is engaged in infrastructure construction and the outside contractor comes, he will still have to get a sum of oil and water from it, either to provide inferior construction materials, or to forcibly detain the car and not return it.
Adults want to earn money, and he doesn't let go of children's money.
The playground of the village primary school was occupied by him to build his own house, and he tied a dog at the door to intimidate the children. The children were occupied in the playground and could not even attend physical education classes.
Some people will say that Di Zhimin is so rampant, does he not care about it? The town doesn't matter, where are the police? Doesn't the police station care?
The roots are intertwined, and the officials protect each other
The villagers' actions against Di Zhimin never stopped, but Di Zhimin was always able to kill Ji Ji.
Although he is stupid, he still has a brain. In Di Zhimin's view, he only needed to curry favor with his superiors, the Luoning County Government and the Public Security Bureau, and everything else.
There was once a villager named Lei Haisheng who reported Di Zhimin's various evil deeds to the police station, but the person in charge of the police station did not file a case.
The reason given by the police station is: You Lei Haisheng said that he was beaten by Di Zhimin, where is the evidence? You ran over without evidence, did you add to our workload? Who saw Di Zhimin beat you? What about your witnesses? If you have injuries on your body, you will say that Di Zhimin beat you, are you maliciously slandering?
(Villagers report what happened)
This kind of upside-down statement actually came from the mouth of the police at the police station, which shows that the local police have been infiltrated into a sieve by Di Zhimin, and the road for local villagers to petition is simply impossible.
As soon as the police station communicated with Di Zhimin, Di Zhimin immediately took his younger brother to beat up the person who reported him. In this corrupt environment, the villagers of Dongsi Village live a dark life and seem to see no way out.
Di Zhimin can be said to have almost single-handedly covered the sky in the local area, and after several years of living with fish and meat, his fascination with power reached the point of being insane.
In the face of endless complaints in the village, Di Zhimin openly claimed to be the emperor of Dongsi Village.
Di Zhimin held the "political power" in the village for 12 years. During these 12 years, he not only did not care about the villagers' opinions of him, but Di Zhimin also taught the villagers on his toes:
"This village will always be mine, and I am the emperor here." I am now the party secretary and village chief, my son will be the same official in the future, and so will my grandson. Even if this village is another 100 years old, it is still the property of the surname Di. ”
It turns out that the beam-jumping clown is the beam-jumping clown.
In a socialist country where the people are the masters of their own affairs, the dream of his children and grandchildren to "pass on the imperial inheritance forever" will eventually be smashed by the iron fist of fairness and justice!
Skynet was restored, neglected but not leaked
There is a famous Western proverb: "Whoever God allows to perish will let him swell first." ”
This sentence could not be more appropriate to Apply to Di Zhimin, who proved to be indeed a hopelessly stupid person, holding the shadow of the county, ignoring the existence of the law, and having no big concept of "pattern".
As everyone knows, when the iron fist of the Discipline Inspection Commission Supervision Commission is smashed down, it is simply easy to be a small fish and shrimp like Di Zhimin.
In August 2017, the police in Luoyang City finally took action and took the lead of Di Zhimin as the leader of the gang that had been committing crimes for 12 years, which made Dongsi Village clap their hands and praise.
(Police arrest Di Zhimin)
After a year-long visit to investigate and collect evidence, in August 2018, the Luoyang City Intermediate Court pronounced a first-instance judgment on the case.
Defendant Di Zhimin was sentenced to 22 years' imprisonment, confiscation of all property, and deprivation of political rights for 5 years. In the end, all the members of the mafia-related organizations received retribution for evil and evil.
Later, the state returned all the property confiscated by Di Zhimin to the villagers of Dongsi Village, and the villagers were no longer oppressed by Di Zhimin, and finally got back what belonged to them.
epilogue
In recent years, the state has vigorously swept away criminal syndicates and evil forces, steadily promoted poverty alleviation, and Dongsi Village has shaken off the situation of extreme poverty, and the lives of villagers are slowly getting better.
From the process of Di Zhimin's prosperity to the final imprisonment, we can see that this is the karmic retribution that he has done his own sins and cannot live.
This case has a profound warning significance for us, the water flow is not terrible to be polluted, and the water source is polluted is really terrible. The ancient saying has clouds: "The honest one, the people's watch; the greedy, the people's thief." ”
As party members and cadres, we must be honest and self-disciplined, examine ourselves, and keep in mind the purpose of serving the people!
Criminal syndicates and evil organizations are an inevitable product of the imperfect management of the legal system, and they are even more a cancerous tumor in society, which seriously threatens the interests of the people and the foundation of the party's ruling power.
As a black sheep in grassroots organizations, a negative model like Di Zhimin deserves to be taken by all grassroots cadres forever...
