On December 24th, the Hunan Higher People’s Court held a press conference on the work of the special struggle to eliminate evils, and released the top ten highlights of the work of Hunan courts this year and the top ten typical cases of evil crimes. On the same day, the Hunan court made centralized judgments on a number of cases involving black and evil.
The CCTV reporter noted that Xiao Xiaoyong’s case was listed among them, and this case was also the first "black logistics" case investigated by Zhuzhou City since the launch of the special struggle against evil.
According to the police investigating the case, Xiao Xiaoyong came to Zhuzhou in 1993 and set up Hongyun Consignment Department, which is engaged in the cargo consignment business from Zhuzhou to Jiangxi Province. In 2000, in order to monopolize the consignment line from Zhuzhou to Jiangxi Province, Xiao Xiaoyong gathered a number of associates to smash the consignment station of his peers with knives. In the open fighting, one person was seriously injured and the other was slightly injured. Finally, he was sentenced to one year in prison by the Lusong District Court.
Everyone in the market knows that Xiao Xiaoyong is a "ruthless role" and dare not compete with him for the same route.
After being released from prison, Xiao Xiaoyong returned to his old job, and successively recruited many fellow villagers such as Jiang Mingming to join the consignment station, and instilled in them the gangster concept of "Don’t be afraid to go out and do things, you must win if you want to do things, and the company will be responsible if something goes wrong". He suppressed the competitive thugs by means of smashing and looting, forced trading, extortion, and trouble-making, and his logistics business expanded rapidly in Hetai Market in Hetang District of Zhuzhou City.
According to media reports, the evil forces of Hongyun Logistics headed by Xiao Xiaoyong were formed in 2007. Xiao Xiaoyong and Xiangjing Logistics Company failed to compete for the route. He found an excuse to instruct Jiang Qingguo to lead Jiang Jinping, Jiang Mingming and others to smash the facade of Xiangjing Logistics and snatch the goods of Xiangjing Logistics to get back at Xiangjing Logistics Company.
In order to develop and expand the illegal forces, Xiao Xiaoyong relied on Hongyun Logistics Company to develop and absorb many social idlers such as Zhang Tianpeng, and relied on the huge profits obtained by the logistics company to set foot in hotels, high-interest loans and other industries, recruiting Ma Shuilin and others as security guards of Shengshi Kangnian Hotel and carrying out violent debt collection.
In addition, Xiao Xiaoyong also set up a "Hi Bao" (a room dedicated to drug abuse in the hotel KTV) for a long time, providing paid escort service for the opposite sex, allowing others to take drugs for a long time, and gradually forming a underworld organization with Xiao Xiaoyong as the organization and leader, Zhang Tianpeng and other four as active participants, and 19 as other participants, including Jiang Mingming and Ma Shuilin.
Through trial, it was found that the organization gradually formed a monopoly position in the logistics industry in Hetang District, and engaged in illegal and criminal activities such as pornography and drugs for a long time. A total of 1 affray, 16 affray, 1 extortion, 1 gathering to disturb social order, 2 intentional destruction of public and private property, 146 drug abuse, 2 forced transactions, 1 dissemination of obscene articles and 1 false litigation were carried out, resulting in 8 minor injuries or injuries to the property of several victims. In addition, Xiao Xiaoyong raped a victim, lured, abetted and deceived many people to take drugs, and gathered several people for fornication many times.
