What exactly is being said in the private room? How did Weng Xiaoyi violate the law of the country and make Hong Tao and Ciqi eager to kill him immediately?

This matter is indeed not small, Weng Xiaoyi mainly made two mistakes, he first secretly sold the chemical waste of the chemical group to these two Great Song Dynasty merchants, and then after drinking, he shook off the secret of the empire refining fire oil from oil and making steel with heavy oil. Although he didn't say too specific about the fractionation steps and didn't understand the structure of the open hearth, he could still deduce a lot of things when he heard these things.

And these two Great Song maritime merchants are definitely people with hearts, Weng Xiaoyi didn't take the initiative to say these things, he was stunned by the two maritime merchants, a little bit of a feeling of seeing each other late and being a bosom friend in the world, under the stimulation of alcohol, he unknowingly revealed the secrets of the empire.

It's a pity that he not only made an unintentional mistake, the two maritime merchants not only took his words, but also paid him to help get a set of scrapped diversion equipment, saying that they wanted to go back and make their own tinkering with paraffin wax and asphalt, and then sell them to shipyards in various countries for ship scrubbing and anti-corrosion. Even if this set of fractionation equipment is Weng Xiaoyi's share in the workshop, he can distribute dividends every month while he stays at home.

Weng Xiaoyi didn't seriously analyze the reasons of the maritime merchants, or he didn't want to use his brains at all, or he didn't care what the waste could be used for. Anyway, a large number of scrap and end-of-life equipment are thrown into the uninhabited rainforest every year, and if someone is willing to pay for it and can bring a lot of income for themselves, why not? The most important thing is that he can not only get money from maritime merchants, but also save a lot of money from the chemical group to hire people to dispose of waste, which is a good deal for both ends.

In fact, if it were a different person, Hong Tao would have asked Ciqi to arrest him and interrogate him a long time ago, no matter how strict his mouth is, he will not be able to bear the torture tools in the Ministry of Supervision, and it will take less than half a day to confess all of them, and then he will confirm these confessions, and then he can start arresting people. This kind of crime is enough for treason, as long as you are involved in this crime, you will not have a chance to mine, you will just die, and it will be carried out publicly, and you will be hanged on the dock.

But Weng Xiaoyi is different, he is the son-in-law of the Weng family, and there are two sons and two daughters in the family, and the eldest son is about to have children. If he is dealt with in this way, then a large number of responsible persons will be dug up in the chemical group, whether he is an accomplice or not, at least there are omissions in account management and verification. Weng Xiaoyi is a middle and senior manager of the chemical group, and the positions of other responsible persons can be small? In this case, it is equivalent to serving the Weng family in one pot.

Let the Weng family, which was finally rebuilt, be destroyed in his own hands, or in such an open and shameful way, Hong Tao can also figure out what the consequences are with his big toe. It is estimated that after these responsible persons were executed and dealt with, the women of the Weng family almost committed suicide. What face do they have to continue living in the Empire? They have all become traitors, a family of traitors! Those who will be spurned by the people of the whole empire will not be able to raise their heads wherever they go, not only for their own crimes, but also for their children, and even for their children's children.

Even if Hong Tao is really hard-hearted and doesn't care about this result, what will be the reaction of the Bo family, the Huang family, the Bu family, the Ou family, and the Wen family? Will they be as selfless and righteous as themselves? Ninety-nine percent of the answer is no. Well, on the issue of how to deal with the Weng family, the Imperial Assembly and the Imperial Government will quarrel, because these families account for a large proportion of the political circles of Jinhe Country, they and the Weng family are in-laws, the Weng family is unlucky, and they are also disgraced, what reason is there to serve in the imperial government?

Hong Tao is not sure what the outcome of the quarrel will be in the end, but what he can be sure of is that this kind of quarrel is easy to hold grudges. The Imperial Diet and the government will not intend to settle for many years on, and will be affected by this incident for many years. And the attitude of the residents of the empire towards this matter will not be one-sided in favor of the law, many people will think that the laws of the empire are too strict, because the target of this punishment is the Weng family, which has always been very low-key and very popular, and their family is still more women than men, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an orphan and a widow.

Strict law enforcement is a good thing, and it is okay to kill relatives in righteousness, but what is the purpose of doing this? Hong Tao felt that he could not get rid of the purpose and talk about legal issues on paper alone, as long as it was beneficial to the empire, he should do it if it was illegal. But after doing it, there must be someone who takes responsibility, that is to say, the offender must be punished, no matter what you are for, this is what the law should bring people's impression, you can't say that your starting point is good, you can trample on the law at will. Hong Tao deceived Ciqi on this issue, and in the end, the person who carried the black pot was not Ciqi, but he, the emperor himself.

If you don't say this, it is impossible for Ciqi to listen to their own words, and their Ci family is counting on themselves, if they go to carry the black cauldron, who will they rely on in the future? For the sake of their children and grandchildren, these brothers can do anything, so they must be deceived.

In fact, as long as Hong Tao wants to, no one has to carry the black pot in this matter. Privately spying on imperial officials, investigating imperial officials without permission, and concealing evidence to interfere with judicial fairness can all be covered up by fraud and collusion with government officials, and it is not difficult for Ciqi to do such a thing at all. As long as the two Great Song Maritime Merchants are intercepted on the sea, and then poured up from their confessions, they can also pour out Weng Xiaoyi, and then come forward to collude with Yi Yi, Bo Jiao, and the judges in private, and end the matter to Weng Xiaoyi, and secretly execute the matter. After a period of time, we will use this matter to deal with the Weng family internally, let the Weng family give up several main positions in the chemical group, send people with foreign surnames to serve as them, and mix it with sand for a few years, and the Weng family will not be able to control the chemical group.

From this point of view, this kind of private and illegal handling should be more conducive to the stability and development of the country. It minimizes damage to the government, to the country, and to the faith of the people.

But Hong Tao does not see it that way, he believes that a relatively fair and reasonable rule is the most important, even if the chemical group loses, or even loses a government, it is necessary to ensure that the rules are not arbitrarily changed, this precedent cannot be set. It is not enough to consider reducing the damage, but the more important thing is the lesson, if the lesson is not learned in time, the defenders of the rules will not feel a sense of crisis, and thus will not work hard to make up for the loophole, in other words, this matter is equivalent to a waste, without the slightest benefit.

If this precedent is set for the sake of the Weng family and the country this time, and a large number of big families such as the Bo family, the Huang family, the Chen family, and the Wen family have this kind of thing in the future, will they have to open it for a second, third, or fourth time? There are too many examples of this, isn't it a common practice? Can the top do this, but what about the middle level? What about the bottom layer? When this kind of thinking becomes a habit, then it will be used by law, and it will not become the rule of man again? What is the difference between it and the Southern Song court?

Now Hong Tao is going to use himself to teach the government, parliament and people of Jinhe Country a lesson, the last lesson. Tell them what to do if they encounter such a problem. Not only must the stability of the country not be undermined, but also the law must be strictly enforced, even if the emperor and the prime minister violate the law, they must be punished! The state wants these officials, not only to manage the country, but also to stand up when it is time to sacrifice themselves, which is a necessary price to protect and improve the rules.

Then why don't you let Ciqi carry this black cauldron, and then use the emperor's power or influence to help him exonerate him, as long as he doesn't hang himself, it's a big deal to go to the mines to work for a few months, and then people will be sent to Cape Town to accompany Cixi without knowing it.

The answer is still the question just now, this kind of opening can't be opened, not once. The only exception was the emperor, who was exempt from most laws in the constitution of the Jinhe Kingdom, and this was also the compensation for the emperor who gave up his imperial power. If this black cauldron is carried on oneself, there will be no danger to life, and there will be no prison sentence, let alone end in a way that breaks the rules. When the time comes, he announced his abdication and passed the throne to his son, and this article will be turned over. The people of the empire will not hold on to the emperor in this matter, because the emperor's abdication is a great punishment for them, at least they think it is enough.
