In 2007, a group of people arrived at the Qinghe County Party Committee. They were in formal attire and walked straight to the office of the county party secretary located on the fifth floor. As they entered the hall, no one stopped them because they were all members of the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission.

At this time, Tang Shijie, who was sitting in his office reviewing documents, was unaware of the arrival of the provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection investigation team. Five or six people directly pushed open the door to his office. One man in his thirties, facing a surprised Tang Shijie, introduced himself: "Hello, Secretary Tang Shijie, we are from the Disciplinary Inspection Team Two of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. We received an anonymous report and came here to investigate the bribery case during the restructuring of Qinghe Paper Mill. Please come with us to the designated location at the designated time to explain this matter."

After finishing his explanation, the two men brought Tang Shijie up. At this time, Tang Shijie looked stunned. Qinghe Paper Mill was a state-owned enterprise established in the 1990s. From its establishment to the restructuring, it had always been operating at a loss. The county government had provided annual financial support, and it had long been indebted. Last year, the county government decided to completely transfer the ownership of the paper mill to reduce the burden on the county finances. At that time, Tang Shijie was still the county magistrate and was responsible for this restructuring. Qinghe Paper Mill was sold for 4.7 million yuan to Xianglin Paper Industry, which also arranged jobs for the 1,300 employees in the factory and took over the 6.9 million yuan bank loan owed by Qinghe Paper Mill. At that time, this deal was relatively ideal and even received praise from the then-city party secretary. Tang Shijie also successfully succeeded the old county party secretary's position because of this. But now, the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission is investigating, which makes Tang Shijie, who has been cautious for thirty years and has never dared to embezzle a penny, terrified. Tang Shijie was taken from his office to the Armed Forces Department's guesthouse. He didn't say a word on the way. After Tang Shijie left the county party committee building, news of his being investigated spread slowly within the county party committee building.

Only after arriving at the county armed forces' guesthouse did Tang Shijie understand that the corruption scandal at Qinghe Paper Mill was just a ruse. He had truly offended Liu Yishan, the chairman of Dayun Group and son of Liu Changyuan, the deputy provincial governor. It turned out that last month, Liu Yishan had come to Qinghe County, claiming he wanted to develop real estate in the county town. His plan was nothing but a scheme to enrich himself at the expense of others. Dayun Group would acquire land at a very low price and then have the government designate it for commercial use. Then, they would use this designation to secure loans from banks and develop the land. Tang Shijie knew exactly what Liu Yishan had in mind. With the central government cracking down on land allocation, he dared not approve the request. He politely declined, but Liu Yishan wouldn't take no for an answer. He used a mix of flattery, threats, and bribes to wear Tang Shijie down for half a month, but Tang remained resolute.

Liu Yishan, feeling cheated in Qinghe, returned to the provincial city with his tail between his legs. Soon after, rumors spread that he intended to force Tang Shijie back home to farm and sell sweet potatoes. At the time, Tang Shijie thought this was just a huff of anger and didn't take it seriously. However, not long after, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) launched an investigation against him. As for the Qinghe Paper Mill incident, Tang Shijie knew in his heart that he hadn't taken any bribes. At the time, the city was in charge of overseeing the project, and even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to embezzle a single penny. However, during the CCDI's investigation, they ignored Tang Shijie's explanations and simply stated: "Tang Shijie, don't resist any longer. The former director of the Qinghe Paper Mill, Dong Jun, has confessed that he received 100,000 yuan in bribes from Xianglin Paper Industry to help them with their relocation project for family members living on the factory premises. During this process, three people died unexpectedly, and he instructed the local police to cover up the truth. He also admitted that it was at your behest that he received these bribes. The director of the county Public Security Bureau, Zeng Guoxiong, has also confirmed this. We also obtained materials from Wang Zhijun, the financial manager of Xianglin Paper Industry, who revealed that during a private dinner during negotiations, you demanded 500,000 yuan in bribes from Xianglin Paper Industry's vice president, Wang Qingping. Is there anything else you need to hide? With these alone, we can charge you with bribery and corruption."

Tang Shijie shook his head and defended himself, "You guys aren't conducting an investigation, this is clearly framing me. I just want to say that if you want to add charges, there are always ways to do so. Everything awaits the organization's investigation."

The person responsible for the investigation by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection did indeed turn and walk out. After thirteen days of investigation, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had only questioned Tang Shijie three times. But on the fourteenth day, Tang Shijie was handed over to the Municipal People's Procuratorate and informed that they would bring charges against him for his problems. Tang Shijie was perplexed, but no matter how he argued or made a fuss, no one listened to him. That day, he was transferred to the municipal detention center. Half a month later, the Municipal People's Procuratorate officially filed a lawsuit against him with the Municipal People's Court; on the day of the indictment, officials from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection came to the detention center and brought Tang Shijie out. They announced to him, "After research by the Party Committee of Changqingshan City, Tang Shijie, former Secretary of the County Party Committee of Qinghe County, was reported by the masses. After investigation by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the facts are credible and the evidence is conclusive. Comrade Tang Shijie is expelled from the party and removed from his post as Secretary of the County Party Committee, and he will no longer hold the position of Director of the Qinghe County People's Congress."

Tang Shijie has been arrested for only 29 days, but in these 29 days, the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Procuratorate have questioned him only five times, and Tang Shijie admitted to all the crimes he was accused of. However, less than a month later, the Municipal Party Committee decided to double-open his case against him. At this point, he finally understood that this time he was completely finished.Tang Shijie listened quietly without saying a word; until he reached the court and the verdict was announced: “Changshan City Intermediate People's Court, "2007" No. 62, Criminal Judgment, Defendant Tang Shijie for bribery and embezzlement, initiated by the Changshan Municipal Procuratorate. After the case was received by this court, it was legally assembled to hold a hearing. Due to the defendant Tang Shijie's own reasons, he gave up his legal aid lawyer to defend him, and during this period, he also gave up self-defense. Now that the open trial has been completed and reviewed…………………………………………………………………….This court believes that the defendant Tang Shijie, during his tenure as the County Magistrate of Qinghe County, abused his power to provide convenience for enterprises, resulting in the loss of state assets and casualties. He extorted 500,000 yuan from Xianglin Paper Mill through threats and coercion. During the investigation of the case, the defendant refused to acknowledge his crimes. Now that the investigation is clear, the facts of the crime are clear, and the evidence is conclusive, this court sentenced the defendant Tang Shijie to death in the first instance for abusing his power, accepting bribes, and causing the death of others, with multiple convictions being considered as one. The defendant's political rights are deprived permanently, and the sentence shall be carried out immediately.”

Tang Shijie was taken away in a police car. At this moment, Tang Shijie only felt hatred, hatred for the danger of this situation. He thought about how many criminals had committed more serious crimes than him, yet their evidence was lighter, but who was like him, directly sentenced to death and immediately executed.

Looking back on his life, from graduating university and returning to Qinghe to becoming the county party secretary at the age of fifty, Tang Shijie had taken every step carefully. Yet, due to offending the son of a high-ranking official, he was falsely accused, imprisoned, and even sentenced to death. Although Tang Shijie wasn't particularly outstanding among those present, he was considered a representative of integrity among the masses. He fearlessly stood up against power and influence. Over thirty years in Qinghe, he had visited every township, conducting research, inspections, guidance, and support. These experiences left him with a sense of resentment.

Upon arriving at the execution ground, Tang Shijie was led to a room with only a bed inside. The executioner was a doctor now, and the method of execution had changed from gunfire to lethal injection. As the forensic doctor entered, he asked Tang Shijie, "What is your name?" Tang Shijie mumbled, "Tang Shijie." The doctor continued, "We're going to administer euthanasia now. Do you have anything you want to say? Anything you wish to tell your family, and I will convey it to them?"

Tang Shijie slowly climbed onto the single bed covered with a white sheet and lay quietly on it. The past memories had already been sifted through by him on his way back. He still had two children, a son and a daughter. Both were very promising. His son worked in the central government department, and his daughter graduated from Peking University in Beijing. After thinking for a moment, Tang Shijie sighed and said to the forensic doctor, "I want you to tell my wife this last sentence. For so many years, I have only focused on work and never truly accompanied her. I estimate that there will be no more opportunities to accompany her in the future. Please let her rest assured and go to her daughter's side! Live a good life in the future. For so many years, I owe you an apology, my dear wife. I am sorry."

The forensic doctor nodded. "Well, I'll let him know. Then I'll get started;"

Tang Shijie lay on the bed with his eyes open, staring at the gloomy ceiling and the hanging energy-saving lamp. He felt a prick on his arm and slowly closed his eyes, losing consciousness.

Tang Shijie, from Qinghe County in Changshan City, passed away at the age of fifty. Some people who knew him expressed their condolences upon his passing, while others who didn't know him thought he was just a greedy man who had gotten what he deserved. After all, there are always good and bad opinions about people; those who had been taken care of by Tang Shijie grieved his loss, while those who had been punished by him rejoiced. In the end, only the woman who married Tang Shijie suffered the most. After marrying him, she knew that her husband had ambitions and ideals. She firmly believed that he would never do anything illegal or against the rules. Years passed, and Liu Yishan was arrested for some reason. Only then did Tang Shijie's case be cleared, but by then, Tang Shijie had been dead for many years. The woman who married him, unable to cope with her grief, had also taken her own life long ago.
