It is said that "money can make ghosts grind", which has been fully reflected in Zhang Chenggong in Henan. Since 1987, he has been imprisoned three times and sentenced to death several times, but each time he managed to escape with money.
He absconded for 11 years and became a billionaire. After being accidentally arrested, he also implicated a number of judicial **, and the incident caused widespread discussion on the Internet.
Many people commented that Zhang Chenggong was "Henan's version of Sun Xiaoguo".
In 2021, the Zhengzhou Intermediate People's Court executed Zhang Chenggong in accordance with the law, marking the official end of Zhang Chenggong's legendary life. What secrets and mysteries are hidden behind this 34-year-old death penalty case?
How did Zhang Chenggong become a billionaire step by step from an ordinary person? Let's explore this fascinating story together.
In March 2021, a branch of the Zhengzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau smashed an illegal pornographic venue and successfully arrested a criminal suspect Zhang Chenggong who had violated women.
After interrogation, ** discovered a shocking secret: in the 90s of the last century, Zhang Chenggong was sentenced to death for 7 young girls, speculation and hooliganism. This series of astonishing facts has aroused widespread public concern and indignation.
Zhang Chenggong was born in 1957 in rural Yanling, Henan Province, and his family lived in difficult conditions, often watching his peers play and add new clothes. Since childhood, he has set his ambition to become a rich man in the future.
After graduating from high school, he took over his father's job, however, he was playful by nature and missed work many times, and was soon fired.
Zhang Chenggong embarked on a long road of life, and his first pot of gold was earned in an auto repair factory in Sanmenxia City. He acts as a middleman, sending someone else's faulty vehicle to the repair shop, and then communicating with the factory director to earn the difference.
Since there was no direct contact between the owner and the factory director, they did not know that Zhang Chenggong was involved.
A repair shop master once told reporters that he felt that Zhang Chenggong was not very responsible, he could speak well, and suggested that he could drive away by repairing the car casually, which made the master feel dissatisfied.
Later, it was found that Zhang Chenggong relied on middlemen to make the difference and filled his pockets. He even packed an old hydraulic crane and sold it for tens of thousands of dollars.
Zhang Chenggong has accumulated a lot of wealth through improper means, opened a number of companies, and has become a millionaire in that era when it is difficult to achieve 10,000 yuan households.
After becoming wealthy, he bought a high-end commercial house and a car, and hired a private driver, who was picked up by the driver no matter where he went.
Zhang Chenggong generously donated 10,000 yuan to a middle school in Sanmenxia to express his gratitude. As a result, the school awarded him the title of honorary principal, and for a while, he was hailed as a "caring and successful entrepreneur".
However, later facts reveal the sinister intentions behind him.
In the summer of 1987, a shocking incident occurred at Sanmenxia No. 1 Middle School, and several female students actually had a fierce fight. After a school investigation, it was found that it was all related to a person named Zhang Chenggong.
One of the 17-year-old girls claimed that she had been "tricked and raped" by Zhang Chenggong. However, due to various reasons, the school leaders at the time did not call the police, and the parents were afraid that their children's reputation would be damaged, so they chose to tolerate it.
This incident is deeply distressing, and we should resolutely oppose any form of criminal behavior, and we should give adequate support and protection to the victims.
After receiving instructions from the principal to report the case, a teacher reported the situation to the Public Security Bureau. However, after Zhang Chenggong**, he received many pleas**, including a section chief of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Despite this, he did not agree to them, and he has not been in contact with the section chief since. After 17 days of investigation, Zhang Chenggong was finally arrested.
On June 23, 1990, the Sanmenxia Intermediate People's Court began hearing Zhang Chenggong's case, three years after this incident, but Zhang Chenggong's case was not complicated. However, because the case had a significant impact on Sanmenxia, it has aroused heated discussion and attention from a wide range of the public.
After an in-depth investigation, it was found that Zhang Chenggong used material ** and money to carry out illegal acts against three underage girls between April and June 1985.
Due to the young age of these girls and their lack of awareness of self-protection, some chose to remain silent, even though some parents already knew about it, but they chose not to report it to the police for fear of affecting their daughter's future.
From November 1985 to June 1987, Zhang Chenggong again used the same method and arranged work to force a number of young women.
The core idea of the new copy: Between 1985 and 1987, Zhang Chenggong used material and monetary means to commit illegal acts against a number of underage girls and young women, although some parents knew, but for various reasons, they chose not to report to the police.
The Sanmenxia Intermediate People's Court held a public trial of Zhang Chenggong and made the following verdict: Zhang Chenggong was sentenced to death and deprived of political rights for life for the crime of **; Sentenced to eight years' imprisonment for speculation; The conviction of hooliganism was sentenced to six years' imprisonment, which was eventually sentenced to death and deprivation of political rights for life.
After being sentenced to death, Zhang Chenggong temporarily served his sentence in Sanmenxia Prison for some reason. During this time, he relied on his own"talents", almost successfully jailbreaking.
In his years of social experience, Zhang Chenggong has mastered a skill that can easily spot the weaknesses of others. So, when he was in prison, he began to look for his "target".
In the end, he took a fancy to an armed police soldier who was guarding. He first started with some daily topics, and gradually began to set traps and use interests to lure the armed police.
A simple armed policeman was attracted by Zhang Chenggong's trap and began to help him deliver the message. In return, Zhang Chenggong paid the armed police 1,000-3,000 yuan, which was a considerable amount of income in those days, equivalent to a year's salary of a bachelor's degree.
However, since Zhang Chenggong**, his wife has also been busy.
Seeking assistance from outside, with the assistance of armed police soldiers, he successfully sent iron nails, chopsticks and other tools to prison. Zhang Chenggong almost succeeded in escaping from prison with these tools, but a comprehensive major inspection unexpectedly exposed his plans.
The walls of the prison had been dug up, and it was only because of the deviation in direction that he could not escape as he wished.
Zhang Chenggong submitted appeals of more than 10 pages on three occasions, seeking help from the Intermediate People's Court, the High People's Court, and the procuratorate. After that, the Henan Provincial High Court decided to retry his case.
In the course of the second trial, Zhang Chenggong's sentence was commuted to a suspended death sentence. After a two-year probationary period, Zhang Chenggong's good performance in prison was recognized, and the sentence was commuted.
In 1993, Mr. Zhang's sentence was reduced to 16 years.
After a retrial, the court found that Zhang Chenggong had been released on medical parole around 1995 and that his whereabouts had not been known. After investigation, it was found that the materials for commutation of sentence and medical parole were forged by relevant personnel bribed by his wife.
In the winter of 2008, Zhang Chenggong incarnated as Chen Meizhong and appeared in front of Henan ** as the president of Henan Chamber of Commerce in Hunan Province. He revealed that he worked in the entertainment industry in his early years, and is now very willing to invest in education, entertainment and real estate.
He said that the purpose of his investment is not to make a profit, but to develop his team.
He once made a crazy fortune in the real estate industry, selling unlicensed commercial houses and obtaining huge profits. It wasn't until November 2011 that ** arrested him, and it was discovered that he was the disappeared Zhang Chenggong, Chen Meizhong.
At the moment when Zhang Chenggong was stuffed into the police car, he tried to exchange money for freedom, and proposed 3 million in exchange to the police officers who handled the case, hoping to be free.
However, despite the fact that he carried out ** with money, the police were not swayed by his ** and resolutely refused his request. This shows that for Zhang Chenggong, he has been convinced: as long as there is enough money, there is nothing that cannot be done.
After Zhang Chenggong was captured, they discovered some shocking information. It turned out that after Zhang Chenggong was released on medical parole last time, he bribed a police officer to create a fake household registration information for him.
Chen Mei used this fake information to successfully sneak into Changsha, Hunan, and start his "rich life" again in Hunan. On February 7, 2012, Zhang Chenggong was sent to Henan Provincial No. 2 Prison to continue serving his sentence.
Fifteen months later, his sentence was commuted to one year and three months. After that, his sentence was commuted by another nine months.
Zhang Chenggong used his intelligence and money to successfully influence many powerful and law enforcement people. He received numerous commendations and accolades while in prison, and was even named Positive Rehabilitator of the Year.
However, this may not be the case. A retired judicial officer from Sanmenxia said that this case made him deeply feel the erosion and corrosion of money on power and justice, which made people shudder.
In May 2015, Zhang was freed and actually served only 13 years in prison, including 1-2 years of medical parole. However, after his release from prison, he remained obsessed and re-founded a number of real estate and entertainment companies to continue his old business.
An employee who once worked for Zhang Chenggong's company said of him: "The boss is an old man in his 60s with an eccentric temper who requires employees to be on call.
He has several wives and has a bad style. The office was basically filled with his nephews, eldest brothers, concubines and others, and many of them left after a few days. ”
On the surface, Wanfuyuan Company is under the banner of organizing and planning folk cultural activities and protecting cultural relics and intangible cultural heritage, but in fact its actions are outrageous. Between 2016 and 2017, the company defied regulations and built a road leading to its own mountain villa, directly through Xingyang Chengou, a provincial cultural site in Henan, seriously damaging its precious cultural heritage.
This kind of behavior not only hurts the dignity of history, but also causes irreparable damage to cultural inheritance. Let us call together to strengthen the protection of cultural relics, severely punish illegal acts, and protect our cultural heritage.
* Zhang Chenggong was detained for destroying cultural relics, but he was soon released, during which time he again used money to solve the problem. However, Zhang Chenggong did not change because of this, and after he was released, he returned to his old business and committed ** crimes against many young girls.
From 2017 to 2021, in just 5 years, he committed multiple assaults on 7 underage girls.
I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet!In March 2021, Zhengzhou** detected a pornographic venue case, and Zhang Chenggong could not escape justice. In the course of the investigation of his case, all of his previous crimes were exposed.
After in-depth investigation and evidence collection, many protective umbrellas behind Zhang Chenggong were also identified, and they abused their power, traded power for money, and seriously disrupted social order, so they were severely punished.
On October 22, 2021, the court handed down a verdict on Zhang Chenggong's new crimes committed between 2016 and 2021, including the crime of ** and the crime of intentional destruction of cultural relics.
He was convicted of several crimes and sentenced to death. On December 24, 2021, Zhang Chenggong was executed. Justice may be late, but it will never be absent.
Zhang Chenggong took risks and crimes again and again, and his courage was far beyond ordinary people. And part of his crazy behavior is because he can't help the money behind his back, and the law enforcement officers who have been receiving bribes and *** have indulged him again and again.
A judicial officer who has been ** said in an interview that he is deeply remorseful for what he has done, and he did not resist ** at the beginning, and is willing to bear all the punishments he deserves, while actively correcting himself.
Although Zhang Chenggong has been punished accordingly, the girls he assaulted are still living in the shadows, and many of them suffer from autism as a result, which puts these girls and their families under tremendous psychological pressure.
We hope that the light of justice will dispel the gloom in their hearts, so that they can return to normal life and face life's challenges bravely. At the same time, we warn all girls not to be afraid to seek help when they encounter danger.
Repeated swallowing of anger will only allow those ** people to get away with it and continue to be unscrupulous.
