Chapter 125: Choice

Report to the Director immediately.
After receiving this notice, Lei Pengyuan took a deep breath.
When driving the car past in front of the Imperial Council, looking at the majestic Imperial Council, Lei Pengyuan felt more and more uneasy, and a few minutes later, his car drove to the usual exit, turned to the intersection of a sidewalk, and stopped sharply in front of a heavily guarded guard box, this inconspicuous old-style courtyard is the Imperial Bureau of Investigation.
The sentry outside the big mén was conducting a security check on the car, and Lei Pengyuan stared at the inconspicuous investigation bureau in front of him, unlike most institutions in Nanjing that have built new office buildings, the investigation bureau has always been "hidden" here.
Two minutes later, Lei Pengyuan parked his car and walked through the neatly manicured grass to the main entrance, where there was a huā granite sign with the following words engraved:
Bureau of Investigation of the Chinese Empire
The two armed guards standing outside the mén stared straight at Lei Pengyuan, who walked between them. Lei Pengyuan had the same feeling every time he walked through this mén, like walking into the belly of a tiger that devoured others.
As he walked down the hallway, Lei Pengyuan felt the sound of secret jiāo talking softly echoing around him, as if the voice had seeped out of the office above his head. A huge mosaic decorated with huā bricks indicates the coat of arms and beliefs of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation:
"The Shield and Sword of the Empire!"
It's just a simple pattern and a sentence, but who knows what is hidden behind the shield and sword? Outsiders have no way of knowing, even Lei Pengyuan, who is in it, has no way of knowing everything
As usual, Lei Pengyuan felt that many problems in the outside world were disappearing behind him, and he was walking into an illusory world. In a world where questions whizz like wagons, and answers are handed out almost in whispers.
Shuttle through the Imperial Bureau of Investigation, which seems to be forever filled with countless regiments. Although the Imperial Bureau of Investigation has only been established for a year, the Imperial Bureau of Investigation has built up an alarming system of domestic surveillance under top secret. Tens of thousands of detailed files of "potential hostiles" are constantly being added to the archives every day.
In addition to the thousands of investigators in charge of criminal investigation, national security, and counter-espionage operations throughout the country, it also relies on the system of gangs controlled by the investigation bureau across the country to form an extremely secret underground network that can monitor almost every part of China.
It is the information provided in this compound that has helped the army to eliminate bandits across the country in the past few months, and it is also the information that this compound has that has sent traitors to prison and maintained the stability of the country.
Here, Lei Pengyuan is doing the work of "security monitoring". Surveillance, or the dispatch of intelligence officers, requires the monitoring of all potential enemies, so as to exercise comprehensive control over the "key points" in order to avoid the occurrence of "key points" accidents. It turns out that Lei Pengyuan is very talented in this regard, at least he has obtained a lot of "point" information.
Although this work is not difficult and requires a long time every day, it is like a medal of honor for Lei Pengyuan, a kind of work that serves the country and is loyal. He even felt that it was his work that allowed the country to be stable without the slightest change.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the marble hallway.
"Why did the director meet him?"
Lei Pengyuan thought about what was going on, and walked forward, directly outside the director's office.
As the director of the Investigation Bureau, Zha Zhiqing, in Lei Pengyuan's eyes, his figure is not tall at all, his dark skin is the kind of typical appearance that will not attract the attention of others, and those who have been intelligence agents know that most of the time, intelligence officers must be the kind that can be buried in the pile of people without attracting attention.
His eyes were big enough to scrutinize the secrets of the highest levels of the country, but they looked narrowed as if they weren't open. However, for those who work under him, Cha Zhiqing is a man to look up to. He was low-key, unpretentious and unassuming, which was well-known in the Investigation Bureau and even in the whole of Nanjing. This man was silent and conscientious most of the time, and when they first met him, it was almost hard to believe that he was the director of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation. ,
However, as the director of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation, he is definitely an intelligence expert and a model of efficiency, he manages his world soberly and even scientifically, for Lei Pengyuan, he only remembers a sentence from the director.
"As the shield and sword of the Empire, you must always be vigilant and vigilant against all internal enemies."
When Lei Pengyuan arrived at the director's office, the director was on the phone. Lei Pengyuan was a little puzzled every time he saw him, the director was the kind of person who could wake His Majesty from his sleep at any time, but it didn't seem like he was a person with such power at all.
Hanging up the phone, Zha Zhiqing beckoned Lei Pengyuan to go in.
"Agent Ray, please be seated."
Perhaps because he hadn't slept all night last night, his throat was obviously a little sore.
"Thank you, Director."
Lei Pengyuan sat down.
Although some people did not feel very comfortable with his straightforwardness, Lei Pengyuan had always liked this intimate gesture of the director, he seemed to be unassuming, and he always carried out his work with a selfless patriotic jīng god, trying to avoid being in the limelight, which is exactly what he taught.
Putting down the pen in his left hand, Zha Zhiqing stared at Lei Pengyuan and said.
"Agent Lei, Your Majesty called me half an hour ago, and it has a direct relationship with you."
Lei Pengyuan changed his sitting posture. It was found that Yang has always been known for opening mén mountains, no, here it is again.
"You should know what the Imperial Council is doing today!"
One sentence made Lei Pengyuan nervous, of course he knew what the Imperial Council was doing, but what he couldn't understand was that he had made a report two days ago, could it be that the director didn't report to His Majesty?
At this time, Zha Zhiqing stood up and paced in front of the window.
"To a certain extent, we have to see that there may be internal enemies who are trying to try some moves, and of course Your Majesty is aware of this problem, and you have been in charge of monitoring the "main points", so Your Majesty called, and then I immediately contacted you! ”
Could it be that His Majesty wants to see him?
The director not only did not make Lei Pengyuan happy, but made him frown. If in normal times, I very much want to see Your Majesty and listen directly to His Majesty's instructions, but today I ...... Lei Pengyuan was a little unclear about his thoughts.
Looking at Lei Pengyuan, Zha Zhiqing stared, and was silent for a while before speaking.
"For Your Majesty, the actions of those people are undoubtedly a betrayal!"
Treachery!
When he said these two words, Cha Zhiqing's heart beat a little, so what about his own behavior? Isn't it also a betrayal? Of course...... Yes!
But Lei Pengyuan wondered in his heart, why didn't His Majesty meet with those people and express his dissatisfaction to them before the Council began to make a decision? If that's right, information like this should be delivered to His Majesty soon.
Thinking of this, Lei Pengyuan couldn't help but start thinking about all kinds of possibilities in his heart, but he never thought that the report of the Investigation Bureau was not sent to His Majesty until two xiǎo hours ago, and His Majesty had no chance to stop the decision of the Council at all.
And in Lei Pengyuan's heart, he even felt that maybe in His Majesty's eyes, this was just a thing, and it was not even like what the director said, His Majesty regarded this kind of behavior as a betrayal, maybe His Majesty wanted to see the Council play a certain role of advisory and political affairs, and from before the establishment of the Constitution in China, the members of the Council slowly got used to and began to learn how to play the functions and responsibilities of the future national parliament.
Out of prudence, to be precise, some kind of self-preservation, Zha Zhiqing finally proposed to Lei Pengyuan not to answer any of His Majesty's questions, maybe His Majesty would show his anger, but in order to avoid all unnecessary trouble, he could put forward some euphemistic suggestions.
"Thank you for your care!"
In Lei Pengyuan's view, the director's words were undoubtedly the director's care for himself, so he thanked the director, and then left the director's office under the gaze of Zha Zhiqing, preparing to take the car sent by the palace to meet His Majesty, for anyone, especially for a staff member like him, it is an honor in itself to have the opportunity to meet His Majesty, and he even thought in his heart, this time His Majesty does not know if he will take a group photo with himself, if he can, maybe in a few years, After he gets married and has children, he can show off to his son that he has been received by His Majesty.
"Hey!"
When Lei Pengyuan left, Zha Zhiqing sighed, he had never been as nervous as when he received that call, in Zha Zhiqing's opinion, the reason why His Majesty met with this investigator in charge of the "key points" alone was full of strangeness, would His Majesty get some news from him? ,
In fact, since making that decision, Cha Zhiqing has been regretting why he made such a choice.
"Yes...... If it is not constitutional......"
Muttering these words in his heart, Zha Zhiqing understood that for himself, if he wanted to get rid of the horns of "scapegoat", perhaps constitutionalism was far more suitable and practical than "rebellion".
"I didn't betray Your Majesty!"
Thinking so in his heart, Zha Zhiqing opened a monitoring report on the desktop, the report was about Yuan Shikai's information, looking at some of the words mentioned in the intelligence, Zha Zhiqing couldn't help but shake his head, and when he looked up at the portrait of His Majesty, he sighed.
"Your Majesty, you may be very wise, but ...... This is a choice that many people have to make......"
