On September 10, 1986, shortly after Li Jianjun arrived in Jingzhou, a major event occurred at the Municipal Bureau. Pu Hongjun, the former chairman of Longteng Construction, who was under investigation for rape, homicide, and bribery, confessed to bribing Bi Elesheng, a member of the Dongcheng District Party Working Committee leadership.
Bi Elesheng was responsible for the daily operations of the Party Working Committee, urban planning and construction, land resource management, the creation of a civilized city, urban management, the safeguarding of water, electricity, and gas supplies, and the development of industrial park environments. He was also in charge of supervising quality and safety in engineering construction and managing public resource transactions. He oversaw the Planning and Construction Bureau and the Work Safety Supervision Administration (Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau), and maintained liaison with the Natural Resources and Planning Branch.
"This is outrageous! Vermin, they’re all vermin... Ji Changming, go contact the Commission for Discipline Inspection." Li Jianjun was furious.
