"Achieve justice, even if the sky falls!"

The marble porch of a Western-style building on the east side of Muhwa Road in Seoul is inscribed with a simple eight characters, which is where the legal department of the unified supervision office is located, and the legal department can be said to be the first organization to move out of the unified supervision office to work independently, and to some extent, this is due to one of its simplest pursuits - independence.

Independence is the premise of impartiality, at least for Cai Shaoji, who is the head of the Ministry of Justice, judicial independence is the only prerequisite for maintaining judicial fairness, and even under his deliberate pursuit, he has appointed four judges of foreign descent to ensure that judges are not trapped by human feelings, and to allow those young people, who have not even obtained a lawyer's license by Western standards, to learn from those foreign judges. Although he could handle the matter by hiring a foreign clerk as any other department, he resisted internal and external pressure and used foreign judges.

"Three years, give me three years, I can at least create a new situation!"

Whenever he is under pressure, Cai Shaoji will swear to buy time with the general supervisor to realize his dream. Thanks to his efforts, the current Ministry of Justice is gradually showing its authority, and although the people have the habit of being ashamed of lawsuits, aversion to lawsuits, and even afraid of lawsuits, the prestige of the four district courts in Seoul, Incheon, Pyongyang, and Busan has been established through the implementation of the law for more than a year.

As the newspaper said, "The police are strict, and the judges are impartial", the strictness of the police and the impartiality of the judges, to a certain extent, the two are mutually restrictive, especially for the police who have the right to enter the house for health inspection. Driven by the right to inspect the house and the right to severe punishment. The hygiene habits of the people in the special zones and other places have been fundamentally improved. Just as this summer, the "stench" that permeated Seoul disappeared for the first time, changes in hygiene practices have reduced the incidence of many infectious diseases, some by more than 90 percent.

Of course, all this was achieved under the batons and fines of the police, and in the face of the unprecedented expansion of police power, the Ministry of Justice became the only department that constrained its power, and in the course of the wrestling between the two sides, the High Court repeatedly forced it to bow its head. So as to restrain its power to a certain extent, and then to achieve a certain balance.

In this process, the authority of the judiciary is being established little by little, at least for the first time, the people of the country know that at least in the trial hall, there is no official protection, everything is based on the law, the violation is the law, and the violation must be investigated without the slightest compromise. Even with the establishment of the impartial prestige of the court, many North Koreans have handed the "pleadings" to the court in search of justice. They believe that they can get justice and protection from the North Korean government in the Ministry of Justice.

For Cai Shaoji. He is planning to use the North Koreans' "grievance redress" to seize the judicial power of the DPRK, just as the Ministry of Police seizes local power through health and household registration surveys.

If the plan is successfully completed, the local government of North Korea will become an ornament in addition to the right to collect taxes, and sometimes the conspiracy is always in the midst of many seemingly "just" reasons.

No matter what noble purpose Cai Shaoji has, the ultimate goal is to achieve the strategic goal of the unified supervision government to fully control North Korea, and in order to achieve this goal, all departments are advancing the progress of various undertakings step by step. But today, Cai Shaoji's work was interrupted.

"Impossible!"

In the Ministry of Justice, in the face of Teng Yuzao's request, Cai Shaoji immediately rejected loudly.

"The duty of the police department is to make arrests and collect evidence, as for what crime to prosecute, it is the prosecutor's business, and the police department has no right to interfere, let alone hand over civilians to military courts!"

As the chief prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Kangren naturally cannot accept that the police have overstepped their authority to investigate and handle cases, let alone accept the police station's transfer of civilians to military courts, and even in his view, even the police do not need to hand them over to the courts. Almost at the same time as the Minister of Justice refused, he responded.

"But, after all, this is an adult's request!"

In the face of the prosecutor's refutation, Teng Yuzao only calmly retorted.

"I can only obey orders on my side! So, I'm just letting you know! ”

Notice!

With a cold smile, Zhang Kangren glanced at Teng Yuzao, and then the corners of his lips lifted.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!"

After calming down for a while, Zhang Kangren realized that Teng Yuzao told himself about it, I am afraid that it was not just a notification, if it was just a notification, he did not need to come in person, not to mention that there seemed to be something strange in this matter.

"Teng Xingfu, you want to kick the trouble to the legal department!"

Trouble, this is indeed a trouble, seeing that the idea was exposed, Teng Yuzao was not annoyed, but sighed helplessly, this time the police department is the "party", he can't say a lot of things, saying too much will make people feel that he is a police officer in the police department, but on the other hand, he knows that if this matter is really done according to the orders of adults, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future.

"That's right!"

Nodding, Teng Yuzao did not deny his thoughts, but he said again to Cai Shaoji's gaze.

"This matter, the adults are very angry, and it is precisely because of this that they intend to be punished by military law, such as military law, the cigarette merchants involved in the case will be sentenced to death, and the dead will ......."

Shaking his head and sighing, Teng Yuzao looked at him and said.

"At that time, it will not only be people who will die, but I am afraid that the judicial independence that the Ministry of Justice has painstakingly maintained will also suffer a heavy blow as a result, and now that 316 people have been arrested on my side, I am afraid that once the evidence is collected, it will probably be handed over to the military prosecutor......

Teng Yuzao's words made Cai Shaoji's mind sink, isn't it, this is not just a matter of how many people have died, the most critical issue is that this will create a precedent for the administration of the unified supervision government to intervene in the judiciary, there will be a second time with the first time, and since then, I am afraid that the judicial independence that the Ministry of Justice has been flaunting will become a joke.

Cai Shaoji and Zhang Kangren glanced at each other, and they both read a trace of worry in each other's eyes. Since the establishment of the Legal Department. The independence of the judiciary, free from administrative interference, is what they admire. That's what they insist on.

"Shutang, you are here because of the non-smoking thing!"

Almost at the moment when Cai Shaoji and Zhang Kangren entered the office, Tang Haoran immediately understood his intention.

"Sit down and talk!"

After a day of adaptation, Tang Haoran has calmed down.

"Yes, sir!"

Sitting in front of the adults, facing the eyes of the adults, Cai Shaoji said slowly:

"Your Excellency has no right to interfere in this case!"

As expected, his brows furrowed slightly. Tang Haoran silently lit a cigarette and did not interrupt him.

"At the beginning, my lord said that he would never interfere with the independence of the judiciary and ensure the fairness of the judiciary with the independence of the judiciary, but those people today are hateful, but their crimes are punished by law, and their own prosecutors prosecute, and the unified supervision government is higher than the Ministry of Justice, and there is no one who cannot interfere in the judiciary. The prosecutor asks what to do with adults! ”

When the successive words came out of Cai Shaoji's mouth. There was not much politeness in that remark, and almost immediately after learning that the Lord had instructed the Ministry of Police to transfer the case to a military court, he, as the Minister of Justice, realized that the matter was against the police of the Ministry of Justice. Having worked as a lawyer for many years, he is well aware that although the "Judicial Ordinance of the Special Administrative Region" promulgated a few years ago stipulates the principle of judicial independence, he has no choice but to have the monopoly of the executive power in the Chinese tradition, and the judicial power, which is not deeply rooted, may be stillborn at any time. This case is a matter of foresight, and once the judiciary shows weakness and submits to the executive, it will be difficult to emerge one day in the future. Therefore, after receiving the news, he discussed countermeasures with the prosecutor, and then immediately went to the unified supervision office to negotiate with the adults to deal with the matter.

"The implementation measures of the unified supervision government stipulate that the administration of the unified supervision government must fully abide by the law, so that it is not allowed to play with the law in the palm of its hand."

This rhetorical question made Tang Haoran's face show a little unhappiness, and he played with the law in the palm of his hand! He also thinks too highly of himself, if he really plays with it, will he still have a chance to say such things in front of him? Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Tang Haoran said coldly:

"The harm of tobacco and poison is known to the world, but everyone in the world is profiteering, and they do not hesitate to defy the law. I would like to ask what punishment should be given for their crimes? ”

"What punishment should be imposed, the law of nature is determined, if there is no explicit provision in the law, naturally the death penalty cannot be hastily imposed!"

Although he insisted on what he had seen, as the only child in the United States to be qualified as a lawyer in the United States, Chang Kangren knew that the law sometimes needed to be compromised, but he left a little room for maneuver.

"In my opinion, the handling of this case should be handled separately, and the people involved in the case should be subject to the judicial regulations, and as for the police involved in the case, because the police department is a military department, it should be tried by military law!"

When a few simple words came out of Chang's mouth, although he insisted on the reason for upholding the independence of the judiciary, on the other hand, he made a concession, at least in a sense, the police department is not a military department, but on the other hand, the police department is indeed one of the military departments of the unified supervision office, and the use of military justice is not a deviation.

More than half an hour later, Tang Haoran, who was standing in the courtyard, frowned, after the initial anger dissipated, what was left was a sense of sadness, the dry and cold northwest wind blowing in his face, making him can't help but shrink his neck, and his eyes were full of disappointment.

"Why is this happening?"

Tang Haoran, who was frowning, asked rhetorically in his heart, but Cai Shaoji's words appeared in his ears from time to time.

"Today's events, in fact, have been a foregone conclusion since the founding of the police department at the beginning, and the power that cannot be supervised will inevitably lead to the corruption of power, and the corruption of the police department is, in the final analysis, that after the establishment of the police department, its power has been expanding at the same time, but the power has not been subject to any supervision, if you want to be held accountable, you also need to take the responsibility of leadership!"

"The decrees implemented by adults need to be carried out by the authority of the police department, and many things cannot be implemented without authority, which leads to the overflow of power of the police department, even if the people are disturbed by it, there is no other channel except to appeal to the court, and the reality of the country's shame and aversion to litigation has led to the fact that the vast majority of the people will never appeal to the court!"

"Judging from the current departments of the unified supervision and supervision of the government and departments, although the government has strict supervision, on the other hand, most of its power is completely unsupervised, and the power without supervision will only create corruption!"

Silently took a puff of cigarette, while reflecting on himself, Tang Haoran thought of another group of people decades later, who were also like themselves, with lofty ideals, throwing their heads and spilling blood, overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but after the establishment of the republic, it was rapidly corrupted, cronyism, self-gain, corruption and perversion of the law, collusion between power and money, and even more, a few years later, those who held guns in their hands fought with each other endlessly for power, until the entire Chinese nation was dragged into the dark abyss.

and forming parties for personal gain, perverting the law for bribes, and colluding with power and money...... In China, this is almost a century-old disease, so much so that there is even such a fallacy as "moderate corruption should be allowed for the people to understand", so that bad unspoken rules have even become the basic rules of society, and this is the really terrible place, once corruption becomes the basic rule...... Is it just a cycle?

No!

By no means!

But how can corruption be eradicated, at least to some extent, and how can all this be done?

If even a government with only a few thousand people, modeled after the customs regulations, could not eradicate corruption to some extent, what will happen to China in the future? Is it a new country, as in history, if it changes its name, changes its clothes, and cuts off its braids? What hope is there for such a country?

Just like the country in history that has changed its clothes, there is no hope.

With a cigarette between his fingers, from the current problems faced by the North Korean Unified Supervision Office, the sadness on Tang Haoran's face became thicker and thicker, so that the whole person was completely confused. How to find a balance between restraint and indulgence.

On the one hand, the power of the various departments of the unified supervision government needs to be checked, and on the other hand, the absolute authority of the unified supervision of the DPRK is required. This is the case with the DPRK now, and it will not be the case with China in the future?

In the future, China's development also needs the absolute authority of the government, and it needs that authority to promote the construction of the country and the implementation of laws, and there is no other way. Just as in Korea, if there is no absolute authority of the Unified Prison Office, it will not be able to implement economic control in Korea, and without economic control, the government will not be able to obtain sufficient resources.

When the contradictions between each other were entangled in his heart, Tang Haoran didn't even know where the answer was for a while, how could he restrain the power of the government while fully ensuring the authority of the government? Just when Tang Haoran was troubled by two diametrically opposed questions, Li Muchen walked to his side quietly and silently.

"My lord, there is an urgent information from Hangzhou Station!" (To be continued.) )
