Chapter 043: Officials and Officials Protect Each Other?

"Master, you can make me miserable, no wonder you are not the minister, I thought you loved me, and this minister is not a good errand! Prime Minister, let me first state that I have just taken over as Minister Qi for less than two months, and I don't even know who Weng Xiaoyi is, let alone the chemical waste yard by the Milky Way. In fact, I haven't done anything for more than a month, just tidying up his office for my master, and there are documents from five years ago, he doesn't even know, this matter has nothing to do with me! Even Wen Nan finished reading it, but a bald middle-aged man next to him was still watching it, and there was a tendency to watch it again. Po Jiao knocked on the table impatiently, and he raised his head, and then began to complain.

This surnamed Gao, like Qi Zu, is a Han from the North, and his ancestral iron-striking skills are Jinhe Bay, which he came to with Qi Zu. The craftsmanship is good, but the learning is not too fine, and then he has been an apprentice under Qi Zu, and by the way, he also went to the navigation school for a few years, and he is considered to be the most literate among the craftsmen and the most knowledgeable craftsmen. Therefore, after Qi Zu and Wen Xiaoqi quit their work, they pushed him up to replace the post of Minister of Industry, and he was indeed a more suitable candidate.

It's a pity that his life is a bit back, and he caught up with this kind of thing within two months of taking office. In any case, the chemical group is also a subordinate unit of the Ministry of Industry, and it is difficult for him, the minister, to be the direct leader, to get rid of all the responsibilities.

"Minister Gao, pay attention to your identity, this is the Council of Ministers, not the rest room of the workshop. Does it really matter whose responsibility it is? If this matter is poked out, none of us will be able to escape, so let's wait to resign! This time, Your Majesty doesn't need to force us, no, he forced it, why did he have to arrest this Weng Xiaoyi? You can't kill him on the sea! You say, is His Majesty the Emperor scaring us again this time? Otherwise, let's work overtime and get the proposal for the trade union law out quickly, so that my uncle-in-law is satisfied, and he won't toss. Bo Jiao wanted to pick up the glass ashtray on the table and throw it over, and smash Minister Gao to death. From Qi Zu to Wen Xiaoqi, and then to this Gao Xiaohammer, no one has political brains, I really don't know how Emperor Hong got along with them at the beginning, and they got along so well!

"Everyone, don't be impatient, can you listen to me first?" Wen Nan is the second teacher who can't be Bo Jiao, when he read the document just now, he was also a little bit of a masterless, but he recovered relatively quickly, and after listening to Bo Jiao's plan, he had different opinions.

"Minister Wen, please speak!" Bo Jiao still respects Wen Nan, not only because of his age, but mainly because he can see a lot of advantages, or Wen Nan is more like a senior government official than anyone else. It's hard to describe that kind of demeanor and bearing, but it does exist, and anyone can see it at a glance.

"I don't think Your Majesty wants to make this matter bigger, so he handed over this thing to us, instead of waiting for Weng Xiaoyi to be arrested and directly let the Internal Affairs Bureau try it, in that case, it will be difficult to control the situation. I just took a closer look and found that His Majesty had signed a total of three documents, two of which belonged to Minister Yin and one to Minister Kong. Everyone is familiar with His Majesty's font, and to be honest, it's just miserable. I've always wondered why a wise man like His Majesty is not as good as a school boy when he writes. ”

Wen Nan seems to be deliberate, the more anxious others are, the slower he becomes, and even speaks word by word. He is not pretending to be calm, but his brain is spinning rapidly, and he has only one purpose, to exonerate Hong Tao. No matter what it is, it is Wen Nan's instinct to never let the emperor bear the blame. At this time, he couldn't think of any laws in his mind, and the living habits of the Great Song Dynasty for decades were not something that could be changed, and they would pop up at critical moments.

"Minister Wen, we don't mean to hold Your Majesty accountable, if this matter can be controlled on a small scale and does not violate the laws of the Empire, I don't think Minister Kong and Minister Yi would mind signing their names a few more times. I think that's their signature, definitely not His Majesty's, what do you think? Bo Jiao heard Wen Nan's voice, and he thought so too, but he had one more prerequisite than Wen Nan, that is, he had to make up nonsense and not violate the laws of the empire, otherwise his uncle might be the first not to agree.

"Yes, that's what I meant, these signatures were definitely not written by His Majesty, but it is possible that they were forged by someone else, and then confused Your Majesty." Wen Nan lowered his head, unwilling to let others see his face, because he felt that what he was going to say next had no face at all, but he still had to say it.

“…… For example, Director Ci ......, "It was Yi Yi who answered, and he returned to the state of the living dead at this time, and with one mouth, the temperature in the room dropped directly by three degrees, making everyone shiver."

"That's not fair!" When everyone kept their mouths shut, Li Niang mustered up the courage to speak up for Ciqi. Women are always emotional, and no matter how strong the Iron Lady is, she is still a woman after all. She didn't like Ciqi either, but not to the point of hatred.

"According to the rules of the Ministry of Supervision, Director Ci is the most suspicious. He has a specialized handwriting expert under his command who can imitate anyone's signature, and suspicion that he is the embodiment of fairness. These materials brought by His Majesty can only be used as a corroborative evidence, and the truth can only be clarified after the relevant personnel are present and questioned in accordance with legal procedures, which is also the meaning of the existence of the law. At this time, Yi Yi became the protagonist, and he was an expert when it came to how to handle the case. Moreover, he is also familiar with the various laws of the empire, telling a lie seamlessly, and shamelessly labeling a fair.

"Your Excellency Minister......" At this time, the door opened a small crack, and Yi Yi's deputy got into half of his head, squeezing his eyes at Yi Yi and grinning, as if he had something to report to Yi Yi alone.

"Don't hide it, just come in and talk about it, this matter needs all of us to work together, you all have to know everything." As soon as Yi Yi stood up and wanted to go out, Bo Jiao waved to the door and let the deputy enter the house and say it publicly. At this time, Bo Jiao had already figured it out, this matter could not be covered by himself and Yi Yi alone, even if Wen Nan and Kong Pei were added, it was better for everyone to sit together and discuss it than to cause mutual suspicion within the government in a secretive way.

"Minister Ci is not in Jinhe City, ten days ago he signed an arrest warrant, with your signature on the record, the procedure is legal, the arrest target is Weng Xiaoyi, the logistics manager of the chemical group, on charges of treason. I asked the Royal Navy Staff, and they didn't know about it, but on the same day, Captain Lang of the Marine Corps went out to sea with the Marines, and set off with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's fleet. According to the brothers on the dock, Director Ci and two intelligence officers also got on Captain Lang's boat, and they didn't say where they were going, and they haven't returned yet. Yiyi's deputy also sensed that the atmosphere in the conference room was not quite right, and did not dare to cause trouble to his immediate boss, so without waiting for Yiyi to express his position, he directly reported the situation he had just investigated.

"You go and inform the Internal Affairs Bureau, bring the gendarme, and as soon as the director of Ci returns, he will be taken into custody immediately, and no one will be allowed to come into contact without the joint instructions of me and the Prime Minister. If he comes back with the rest of the people, he will be detained as well. After arranging these, come back to me to get the relevant procedures. Hearing Ciqi sign the arrest warrant, Yi Yi let out a long breath, and the scapegoat finally found a suitable one. As long as Ciqi is involved in this matter, no one will speak for him, especially after he betrayed his own brother, people who were originally more fair also regarded this director as a scumbag, and it was only appropriate for him to carry the black pot for the emperor.

"Then what about this Weng Xiaoyi? If this is true, it can't be as if it didn't happen! Li Niang questioned again, she was actually the one who was most disgusted with Hong Tao, the two of them had originally committed a crime, and now they wanted to turn black into white in order to protect the emperor, this practice fundamentally violated the laws of the empire, and she couldn't figure it out.

"This matter will be investigated by the Internal Affairs Bureau under legal circumstances, and if he really commits a crime, I will hand over the results of the investigation to the Supreme Court of the Empire, and how to deal with it depends on the decision of the justice." Yiyi's answer was impeccable, but it meant that he didn't say anything, and it was 100% official.

"So be it, the Ministry of Supervision is solely responsible for the investigation. But don't be idle with other departments, I think all departments should check themselves, and the Ministry of Finance will take the lead, first review the accounts, and then transfer personnel from each ministry to form an inspection team, and then invite parliamentarians to participate in a comprehensive investigation! Regardless of whether Director Ci broke the law or not, after all, he is for the country, and in this regard, none of us here are as good as him, he is a role model for imperial officials. ”

Bo Jiao is also uncomfortable, the establishment of this country also has his share of credit, other things can be exchanged with each other and even pretend not to know, but when it comes to treason, he can't bear it. This is digging the foundations of the empire, and at the same time destroying one's own achievements and pride. If it weren't for the sake of the stability of the empire's political situation, he would have the heart to hang this bastard with his own hands. What made his heart palpitate even more was that there might be more than one such bastard. Hong Tao had already said this problem, but he didn't expect people to become so fast.

is exactly what Hong Tao just said, the Imperial Prime Minister and several Imperial Ministers really don't have time or appetite for lunch. Emperor Hong's big bomb was thrown, and they were scorched and embarrassed, what kind of food are they eating, hurry up and figure out how to wipe their butts for this matter. If it can't be cleaned, this government really doesn't plan to be re-elected, and it doesn't even need to be elected, and it definitely won't have a chance.
