Duan Zhigui presented Tianjin actress Yang Cuixi to Cao Kun, and was promoted to the director of the Zhili Provincial Patrol Police Bureau, after Wang Kangnian, the editor-in-chief of the "Beijing Daily", knew that his "Beijing Daily" had just been founded in the capital, and wanted to open the market, so he took the lead in disclosing the matter. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test Cao Kun hurriedly returned Yang Cuixi to Duan Zhigui, so that there was no evidence.
A small journalist dared to speak to the ruling governor of Zhili Province and the Baath Party. Duan Zhigui was furious and even sent Tianjin police to secretly enter Beijing to arrest Wang Kangnian.
On that day, the deep blue sky was cloudless, and the acquaintances in the trees began to be restless. Wang Kangnian had just gotten off work and walked out of the newspaper office. Six Tianjin policemen in civilian clothes rushed forward, pushed 43-year-old Wang Kangnian to the ground, covered his head and face with black hoods, and prepared to take him away. Wang Kangnian was upright, resisted vigorously, and asked loudly: "Who are you?" ”
No one answered. Wang Kangnian's resistance was only exchanged for a punch and kick, and his back was kicked and a rib was broken. Then, Wang Kangnian was stuffed into a car that had already been prepared, pulled to the train station, and taken back to Tianjin overnight as a felon.
In the middle of the night, in a prison in Tianjin, Duan Zhigui deliberately detained Wang Kangnian and the two murderers together, and during interrogation, he was severely tortured, and he was whipped to the point that he confessed to being "the instigator behind the scenes."
The screams of pain did not make Wang Kangnian succumb, he looked down at the blood stains all over his body, and whispered to Duan Zhigui: "If you walk in a little bit, I will tell you who instructed me." ”
Duan Zhigui took two steps forward. Wang Kangnian took advantage of Duan Zhigui's inattention, and spit out a mouthful of blood on Duan Zhigui's face. "You dog official, I supervise you on behalf of 50,000 people, who else do you need to instruct? Whoever instructs it is my own conscience! ”
Duan Zhigui took out a square handkerchief. Wiped the "Phew!" on his face. You're a pig's nose with an onion -- an elephant. Representing 50,000,000 people? Isn't Lao Tzu just the people, do you want you to be a son of a bitch? Conscience. What is conscience? Can it be as powerful as my baton? ”
As soon as Duan Zhigui waved his hand, the prison guards around him smashed Wang Kangnian's head with a baton, Wang Kangnian's head suddenly bled profusely, and the terrible screams spread throughout the prison.
After Wang Kangnian was arrested by the Tianjin patrol police. The national public opinion was in an uproar, and Rong Rong's "Qiangguo Daily" quickly followed up, reported in detail what happened after Wang Kangnian was imprisoned, and secretly took photos of Yang Cuixi walking her dog in the backyard of Duan Zhigui's house. Yang Cuixi's name coaxed the whole country.
It turned out that after Cao Kun returned Yang Cuixi to Duan Zhigui, Duan Zhigui didn't mind, so Yang Cuixi became the public lover of Duan Zhigui and Cao Kun. She wrote letters and errands for Duan Zhigui, chatted and played cards with Duan Zhigui, and everyone came to flatter her, once she sang on stage. There was a lot of applause from the audience. Although Duan Zhigui is also a good hand in the wine field, he can't stand her considerate service, so he actually treats her well. In order to satisfy Yang Cuixi's vanity, Duan Zhigui could even put down the work at hand and go out for a ride with Yang Cuixi tirelessly to all the banquets in Tianjin.
In order to settle Wang Kangnian's affairs, Duan Zhigui also entrusted Cao Kun's relationship, saying that Yang Cuixi was Cao Kun's righteous daughter and sent her to Beijing to befriend Yu Xiaowan. Yang Cuixi and Yu Xiaowan have similar backgrounds, and they will make people happy, often imitating some "noblewomen" at the banquet to the fullest, and sarcastically making those ladies and ladies worthless, causing Yu Xiaowan to laugh, and the two have become good friends who have forgotten their years. With this relationship with Yu Xiaowan, Yang Cuixi can freely enter and leave the presidential palace, and her reputation is even more resounding. The Tianjin Anti-Corruption Bureau no longer dares to ask about this matter.
During that time, Song Xiaofei and Xi Muqing went to the United States for a visit. After returning home, it was already early autumn. The ginkgo trees on the streets of Beijing have yellow leaves. Rong Hong brought four or five copies of "Qiangguo Bao" and other newspapers, and told Song Xiaofei about the general situation, "President, the trouble has caused an uproar in the newspaper industry, and it has also caused a lot of discussion in the society about the abolition of the sale of girls and young people. The controversy over the brothel must have a convincing outcome. ”
Song Xiaofei took a look at the relevant reports in several newspapers, and many of them described Yang Cuixi as a shameless. The woman scolded her for being a "red face and trouble" and demanded that she be "stoned to death". And feminists such as Tang Qunying and Rong Rong vigorously defended Yang Cuixi, demanding that Cao Kun be held accountable for the crime of "selling officials", as well as Duan Zhigui's "sex. bribery". There are also radical newspapers that demand an "open press ban" to protect people's freedom of speech.
After Song Xiaofei saw it, he was very shocked, he originally thought that such a thing as buying and selling officials only existed in a government like the Qing Dynasty, but he didn't expect that the republic also had such a thing. It seems that the Baath Party has been in power for a long time, after all, it is still the rule of man, and this kind of power-money and sex trading in the party is indispensable. The party is dead. Country! He felt that it was indeed necessary to relax the supervision of public opinion in domestic newspapers, so he said to Rong Hong: "Speaker Rong, I think the National Assembly should take advantage of this matter and seize the time to hold a meeting to discuss it, so that the "Press Law" can be promulgated as soon as possible. ”
Rong Hong nodded in agreement.
Song Xiaofei said: "I will deal with Cao Kun's matter." ”
On the same day, Song Xiaofei sent a telegram to Cao Kun, asking him to go from Tianjin to the presidential palace as soon as possible. The next day, Cao Kun wore a military uniform and went to the living room of the presidential palace. Cao Kun saw Song Xiaofei with an angry face, and his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground.
Song Xiaofei threw a stack of newspapers on his head and yelled at him: "You touched the head on your neck, are you still there?" It's so colorful. Bold, lawless! ”
Cao Kun burst into tears and admitted his mistakes, but he did not admit that he had broken the law, "Duan Zhigui is a graduate of the old Beiyang Martial Arts Academy, and he used to perform well in the Beiyang New Army, and his ability is still good. ”
Song Xiaofei said: "It's one thing whether Duan Zhigui's ability is good or not. Whether your appointment is legitimate or not is another matter. ”
Cao Kun said yes again and again, and asked, "I don't know how the president plans to deal with this matter?" ”
Song Xiaofei said: "I didn't plan to ask for your head. You are ready to be banished to Indonesia in accordance with the law. ”
Cao Kun was very frightened and said: "Which of the current officials does not have three wives and four concubines?" That's too severe, isn't it? ”
Song Xiaofei said: "The problem is not that there are three wives and four concubines. It's you who sell officials. You haven't realized your mistake yet? ”
Duan Zhigui was immediately dismissed from his post as director of the Zhili Provincial Patrol Bureau, and he took refuge in the U.S. office in Tianjin, only to be deported. Wang Kangnian was finally acquitted.
In view of the fact that the Independent Commission Against Corruption failed to fulfill its responsibility to supervise Cao Kun, Duan Zhigui and others, Song Xiaofei reformed China's Independent Commission Against Corruption. After the reform, China's Independent Commission Against Corruption was completely independent from the government and the Baath Party's Ministry of Supervision. Directly under the Presidential Palace. It consists of the Anti-Corruption Investigation Bureau, the Internal Investigation Bureau, and the Technical Investigation Bureau. Intelligence Bureau and other four sub-bureaus.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption Ordinance, the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance and the Anti-Bribery Ordinance were soon passed by the National Assembly. Public utilities and all private institutions. The Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption has the power to receive and review allegations of corruption. The right to investigate any alleged or suspected offence. The power to investigate any conduct relating to or likely to lead to corruption.
Song Xiaofei appointed Tan Sitong as the director of China's Independent Commission Against Corruption, and recruited 10,000 young college graduates across the country to join China's Independent Commission Against Corruption. Most of them come from peasant and worker families at the bottom of society. Tan Sitong asked, "Will these people be too young?" ”
Song Xiaofei said: "Young people have the advantage of young people. They are full of enthusiasm and have not been polluted by the big dye vat of society, and now is the time to talk about ideals. And they come from the bottom. Suffering from corruption, I think there is a lot to be done! You just need to take the time to train. ”
On the day of the graduation of the trainees of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, President Song Xiaofei was present in person to listen to 10,000 young ICAC commissioners raise their fists. In front of the five-color national flag, he solemnly read out the oath of the Independent Commission Against Corruption: "We, the commissioners of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, are committed to maintaining the stability and prosperity of the country, social fairness and justice, and must work together with all the people to make concerted efforts and unswervingly take a three-pronged approach of law enforcement, education and prevention, so that there is no hiding place for corrupt elements." We swear that we will strictly adhere to the following professional codes: uphold the principles of integrity and fairness; respect the legal rights of any person; is not afraid of impartiality, and performs his duties selflessly; Act absolutely in accordance with the law; Do not use power for personal gain; Strictly abide by the principle of confidentiality according to actual needs; Take responsibility for your actions and instructions"
Song Xiaofei saw the energetic faces of the 10,000 young commissioners of the integrity and made a speech, "Our Chief Justice Liang Qichao once wrote an article called Juvenile China, which I admire very much, as the so-called juvenile is strong, China is strong, your responsibility is to prevent corruption and crime of government officials, and you can investigate any crime that is happening or may occur by any public servant." Don't be afraid of any authority, don't be afraid of any so-called big man who has power and backstage! Because you also have a big backstage, and that is me, the president of the republic! In the background of our 50,000,000 people, their eyes are all looking at us, and we will never allow corrupt elements to corrupt the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation! With you, I believe that those corrupt ** elements will not be able to eat and sleep. Since ancient times, China's arrest of corrupt elements is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause! Controlling corruption** is not about fighting a few big tigers and swatting a few flies to death. If a long-term mechanism is not established, such as the establishment of an independent Independent Commission Against Corruption, then fighting tigers and swatting flies will only be a pretense for the rulers to the people! After beating a batch of tigers and flies, another group of ** elements will come to power again, so that there is no point in fighting corruption. In addition, you must have a firm belief that we, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, exist for the fairness and justice of society! If you punish corruption, just because you are jealous that you have no chance of corruption, just to kill a few tigers and flies to relieve hatred, then there is no point in fighting corruption! ”
10,000 ICAC commissioners shouted in unison: "For the fairness and justice of society!" ”
Then, Tan Sitong, director of China's Independent Commission Against Corruption, also spoke, "I believe you also understand the president's speech. When we become independent from the government and the Ba'ath Party, we want to tell all Ba'ath Party members, all government officials, and all public servants that if you dare to be corrupt, I will dare to arrest you! No matter who has the backstage, no matter how big the background is, as long as I, Tan Sitong, am still in the Independent Commission Against Corruption, I will investigate to the end. In the past, most of China's punishment of corruption ** did not move seriously, if there is, then start with me Tan Sitong! ”
Song Xiaofei said: "Finally, I want to say that corruption will occur in any country and any government, and it is inevitable. What the government needs to do is how to prevent and stop this situation in the system, which cannot be solved without drastic measures. However, the unsupervised anti-corruption power will itself **, which will ruin our anti-corruption cause! That's why I've set up the Internal Investigation Bureau of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which is directly under the Ministry of the Interior, to supervise you, the Commissioner. It's not about distrusting you, it's about checking and balancing power. While you enforce the law, there will be countless pairs of eyes staring at you, this is to protect you! I hope you understand. ”
Tan Sitong took the lead in applauding and said, "I wholeheartedly support it!" The commissioners also shouted together: "We wholeheartedly support it!" ”
The independence of China's Independent Commission Against Corruption means that Song Xiaofei's major reorganization of the Baath Party has begun!
