Guo Fu, Guo Longyun listened to the words of the middle-aged official in front of him, although his expression was still calm during the whole process, and he had a calm aura of a high-ranking person that ordinary people did not have.

But after the anti-corruption bureau official left, his face changed.

Who the hell is it?

Is it Xue Huan? Although he had a dispute with him over the development of heavy industry last year, he has not had any direct conflict with Xue Huan in the past few years.

Unlike the frequent conflicts between Guo Longyun and Bi Yutong back then, although Guo Longyun and Xue Huan had different opinions on some matters, the two sides did not break out large-scale conflicts, and the cooperation on the cabinet side in recent years has been quite pleasant.

If it's not Xue Huan, could it be Jiang Daoquan's old immortal?

But it's not like it, although Jiang Daoquan's old immortal looks stinky and hard, and he seems to act recklessly, but this person has been able to sit firmly as the minister of the Ministry of Education for many years, and has always won the trust of His Majesty, and has always stood tall in the imperial political arena, which is enough to prove that this person is not simple.

Others may think that Jiang Daoquan is just a pedantic literati, but Guo Longyun knows that this is just this side of Jiang Daoquan for outsiders to see, in fact, Jiang Daoquan's political talent is not inferior to any cabinet minister, and even surpasses it.

The reason why Jiang Daoquan has been showing his political image as a hard-line conservative for so many years is because this image is the foundation of his life, and he must maintain it whether he wants it or not, but it does not mean that Jiang Daoquan is really such a person.

In fact, over the years, Guo Longyun has exchanged political interests with Jiang Daoquan, and it has also involved a lot of personal activities. If this Jiang Daoquan is really a pedantic literati when he is stubborn, he will still exchange these interests with Guo Longyun.

Such a Jiang Daoquan would never attack himself for no reason.

And this time, Ning Yaoan's matter mainly involved industrial and commercial affairs. Especially on the corporate side, although Jiang Daoquan is known as one of the bigwigs in the political arena. However, his roots mainly come from the support of conservatives such as educational institutions and agricultural and forestry institutions, and his influence in institutions such as the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is not great.

A large part of Jiang Daoquan's foundation comes from his personal prestige, not his protégé in many institutions.

With Jiang Daoquan's energy, it is difficult to make such a big deal in Zhejiang, which is far away from Beijing.

Who the hell is it?

Guo Longyun was thinking hard about these things.

Lin Zhe in the Xinhua Palace also met with Zhong Bangkui, director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau!

After reporting this time, Zhong Bangkui asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, ...... this matter?"

Lin Zhe interrupted him, Lin Zhe knew very well why Zhong Bangkui came to see him, it was nothing more than knowing that this matter was beyond his control. He needs to know Lin Zhe's attitude, whether this is to check or not.

But Lin Zhe said: "Check this according to the routine in advance, and pay attention to controlling the situation!" ”

"Wechen obeys the holy oracle!" After Zhong Bangkui got Lin Zhe's instructions, he retreated.

Lin Zhe's instructions just now have been clear, that is, this time the corruption incident in Ningyaoan, Zhejiang, must keep a low profile, and at the same time, it must not be too wide-ranging, and maintain the stability of the political arena as much as possible.

Even if Lin Zhe wants to adjust the cabinet ministers, it will not be known to the whole country. It gives the impression that the empire is politically unstable.

Political stability is very important, especially for a country that is in the midst of rapid development, and internal instability and external threats of war are equally destructive.

And this kind of political turmoil, which is not under Lin Zhe's control, already has a tendency to endanger the stability of the imperial political arena.

Wait for Zhong Bangkui to leave. Lin Zhe's fingers kept tapping on the table, this time no matter who did it, he Lin Zhe planned to give him a lesson that he would never forget.

He did not allow anyone to destabilize the empire. No one is allowed to undermine the stable political environment for the industrialization process of the empire, and who dares to set off a large-scale political storm at this stall. He directly sent anyone to the eighteenth layer of hell, so that he could never turn over.

As for so-called corruption and the like. These things are just small things, and they have little impact, and anti-corruption is something that relies on long-term monitoring, which can only be cured subtly, and relying on a short period of political turmoil may overturn a large group of corrupt officials, but in fact it is not really beneficial to the entire empire, because it will not take a few months for a large number of corrupt officials to re-emerge.

Corrupt officials are like weeds, and after they are burned, they will grow another stubble tomorrow spring, and they will be even more lush.

In all dynasties, there has never been a real solution to the problem of corruption, and Lin Zhe also hopes that the dynasty he established can truly eliminate corruption, all he needs is that this kind of thing can be controlled to a certain extent.

The punishment of a few corrupt officials is nothing compared to the overall situation of the empire's industrialization.

After receiving Lin Zhe's instructions, the Anti-Corruption Bureau, which has attracted the attention of many people, officially summoned Ning Yaoan.

At the same time, the Organization Department also issued a timely adjustment of Ning Yaoan's position, revoking Ning Yaoan's position as a Hangjiahu Taoist and transferring him to another role.

However, whether it is really used for other purposes depends on the specific investigation results of this case.

At this time, the Inspectorate also intervened, and the Inspectorate directly dispatched a senior prosecutor in charge of the corruption case of officials, and set up a special team, if the investigation of the Anti-Corruption Bureau is true, then the Inspectorate will make a number of public statements against Ning Yaoan.

On September 26, Ning Yaoan was officially arraigned!

But at this time, there was an accident, after Ning Yaoan was interrogated by the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the next day came the news that Ning Yaoan died suddenly during the interrogation of the Anti-Corruption Bureau's task force.

Immediately afterwards, news came out that the Anti-Corruption Bureau's special case team used torture to extract a confession during the interrogation of Ning Yaoan, and Ning Yaoan was tortured to death under severe torture.

Although the Anti-Corruption Bureau wanted to curb the spread of this message, but under the impetus of some well-intentioned people, it was simply insufficient, and within two days, the largest private newspaper in China, the Shanghai Business Bulletin, published the news of Ning Yaoan's violent death, and this incident quickly caused a nationwide shock.

"Damn, how dare they report this news at this time, don't they have any consciousness at all, can this kind of thing be reported indiscriminately?" In one of the offices of the Royal Estate, the head of the communications section is furious.

In the past few days, with the outbreak of the Ning Yaoan incident, and because of the promotion of well-intentioned people, many people have felt the unusualness of this incident, and ordinary officials and even those cabinet ministers are carefully hiding aside, and no one dares to cause trouble at this time.

However, at this time, the business gazette publicly reported the news of Ning Yaoan's violent death, which played a great role in fueling the fire, which knew with your toes that those executives in the imperial political arena would definitely have opinions on the Royal Asset Management Office.

Why, because this trade bulletin is a royal enterprise, it is directly under the management of the Communications Section of the Royal Asset Management Office.

The Communications Section of the Royal Assets Management Office not only operates a nationwide telegraph company, but also operates more than 20 newspapers and publishing houses in China, among which the Trade Gazette is the largest newspaper under the section, and this newspaper is also the most serious political newspaper in China.

Now that the Business Gazette suddenly reported on the Ning Yaoan incident, it is equivalent to sending a very bad news to the whole country, that is, the Ning Yaoan incident has gotten out of control.

A dignified vice-provincial Taoist, even if this corruption is counted, and he died violently during the interrogation, no matter how you look at it, there is a conspiracy in it.

In this case, the Communications Department of the Royal Assets Management Office also reacted quickly, and the first time was to fire the general manager, a number of editors-in-chief, editors, and reporters of the Commercial Bulletin.

Now, however, the trade bulletin is clearly biased in favor of this neutrality.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the management office of the Trade Gazette has been dismissed.

However, this kind of after-the-fact remedy is no longer helpful, because the news of Ning Yaoan's violent death has already spread through the newspaper!

And when the news of Ning Yaoan's violent death reached Nanjing, Lin Zhe frowned, Guo Longyun was even more shocked, and the subordinates of Guo's mansion even saw Guo Longyun lift the desk in the study on the spot. (To be continued.) )
