032 Riverside Club

Huang Ke is indeed hatching a big plan, which is not only aimed at the political interests of the Kuomintang faction, but also at all the privileged classes.

On the morning of the second day after Miss Kong Er was arrested, when Jiang Zhongzheng and others were still discussing how to talk to Huang Ke about this matter, Huang Ke had already changed into a neat lapel national uniform and took an ordinary Ford car to the Yangtze River.

When he arrived at the river, he changed into a small boat and got on a pleasure boat in the middle of the river. The people had almost arrived, and after a few simple greetings with everyone, Huang Ke beckoned everyone to sit down. At this time, the pleasure boat started its engine and slowly moved forward along the Yangtze River, looking at the misty fairyland-like scenery in the distance, and everyone talked about an important action.

This was an informal, private meeting. There were not many people attending the meeting, except for Xiao Shanling, the others were Yang Yibing, Xu Shaozhou and others, all of whom were Huang Ke's hardcore henchmen.

Before this, Xiao Shanling had already asked Miss Kong Er to be arrested, and handed over a small letter of resignation, which also made Huang Ke see this person's courage and responsibility, and was determined to pull him into his camp.

Xiao Shanling also understands this, in the treatment of Miss Kong Er, he does not intend to bend the law for personal gain at all, this time he will be dealt with according to the due charges. His secretary once reminded him not to be used as a gun by Huang Ke, but Xiao Shanling waved his hand and said: "I am not anyone's gun, since I am the chief of police, I should be a gun of the law!" ”

So, such an upright and resolute police chief was pulled into Huang Ke's small circle, and after personally arresting Miss Kong Er and returning to the police department, Huang Ke personally called Xiao Shanling and invited him to go on a boat trip to the Yangtze River tomorrow.

After receiving Huang Ke's call, Xiao Shanling couldn't help but be a little excited, although he served as the mayor of Nanjing and the director of the police department, in the eyes of ordinary people, he was like a heaven-like existence, but in Nanjing, the center of the government, he actually couldn't register at all, but he still tried his best to maintain his composure, neither humble nor arrogant to talk to Huang Ke.

"Commander Huang, I'm Xiao Shanling, what are your instructions?" Xiao Shanling said on the other end of the phone with his waist straight.

"Nothing important. Mayor Xiao is busy with official business, but he should also pay attention to rest! Tomorrow, I personally paid to rent a cruise ship, and we will also make an appointment with three or five friends to follow the example of the ancients to go boating on the Yangtze River, haha! Huang Ke's loud and hearty voice came from the earpiece.

Xiao Shanling felt a little surprised, Huang Ke invited him to play, doesn't this mean that Huang Ke wants to pull him into the inner circle? How could the person who sat in his position not understand the meaning of this, and after a moment of thought, he decided.

"Well, that's going to bother."

"Okay, I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow, it's a word!"

"It's a deal!"

The next day, Huang Ke asked Fourteen Tsai to personally drive to Xiaoshan Ling's home to pick him up. When he went out, Xiao Shanling also took off his police uniform, and really changed into a set of satin gowns and mille-feuille shoes, looking like a university professor.

After everyone arrived, Huang Ke didn't go around the bend, he held the freshly cooked Biluochun and invited everyone to taste it. With the help of the fragrance of tea, Huang Ke talked straight to the point about the intention of this meeting.

The intention is very simple, that is, to make clear provisions on housing, car use, medical care, and operating companies for all government and military civil servants, to implement a competitive elimination system, and at the same time, to ensure the independence of the judiciary and the right of the police to enforce the law to the greatest extent, and to establish an integrity department composed of police officers, which is responsible for the supervision and investigation of all public servants.

It's just that these things are easy to say, but the actual implementation is much more difficult, and the resistance is unimaginable, because it means attacking the entire privileged class.

Everyone is looking at Huang Ke, and it can be seen that he is not simply talking, but really implementing, which is a rectification, but in fact it is a reform.

Xu Shaozhou said bluntly: "Commander, if you do this, it will not only further intensify the contradiction between the two factions, but also affect the trust of the old Xiguan faction in you, after all, they are also an important part of the privileged class. ”

Xu Shaozhou's remarks are not unreasonable, this time not only administratively, but also legislatively supervised and governed, if so, this kind of reform will inevitably harm the interests of many privileged classes, and the consequences of such a situation are unimaginable.

Huang Ke was silent for a moment after hearing this, he had long expected this situation, at first he also thought about giving up, but thinking of the trajectory of history, he had to reconsider, there was no choice between advancing or retreating.

He cleared his throat and said: "It is a gentleman who is the country, looks at the ancients, tests the world, participates in the personnel, examines the reason for prosperity and decline, and judges the appropriateness of power. The ancients have read such a simple truth countless times, why don't people understand it today? The existence of the privileged class is a stumbling block to the development and progress of this country, so we must eradicate the privileges enjoyed by the privileged class to the greatest extent! Of course, that includes all of you and myself. ”

Huang Ke's words were loud, and the people present couldn't help but be shocked after hearing it. He continued: "Anyone who is familiar with history knows that reformers have never ended well in everything, but it is precisely because of the repeated reforms that have penetrated the marrow that can propel the prosperity of this country. I'm in a high position now, so why not change it if I can change it? I will be the first to announce my personal assets to the whole society, Lao Tzu has done this, do others still have to do something special? ”

"Minister Huang's spirit of putting his personal safety at risk is worth learning from. Rest assured, the Nanjing Police Department and the municipal government are the first to support the reform, and in the future, the police will investigate to the end no matter who is involved. Xiao Shanling stood up and said.

Seeing that he made a military order, Yang Yibing and Xu Shaozhou also stood up to express their position.

"Comrade Xinghua, do you want to give more publicity in the newspapers?" Yang Yibing stepped forward and suggested.

Huang Ke waved his hand: "Don't interfere with press freedom, but proper ventilation is necessary." We must dare to accept the supervision of this society, and you can do it. ”

After Huang Ke finished speaking, he suggested that everyone raise their glasses together, and everyone picked up the teacups in front of them and drank them all.

With the support of these people, there will be much less resistance to building a clean and honest government. And this meeting also allowed Huang Ke to build a faction led by himself on the basis of the Xiguan faction - the Riverside Club.

……

After much discussion, Huang Ke decided to be the first in the military to enact a ban on close soldiers, because he was the military commander and could make a decision without passing the parliament. At the same time, a clean government department was set up in the army to supervise and investigate corrupt acts, and officers at the rank of captain and above were required to continuously disclose their personal assets to the public before taking office and during their term of office. On the same day, Huang Ke and a group of senior generals announced the details of their personal assets.

As soon as this move came out, there was naturally an uproar. All kinds of public opinion in society began to focus on this matter, of course, more public opinion is questioning, they say that these are all showmanship. But when the military's integrity department seized the assets of a large number of senior officers, and one by one the senior generals were imprisoned because of this incident, they realized that Huang Ke was not joking.

The Anti-Corruption Department was dispatched by the Ministry of National Defense, and the old man was an elite selected by the Reserve Cadres Department of the Ministry of National Defense, and their common characteristics were that they were selfless and extremely loyal. In terms of working methods, a three-pronged approach of prevention, education and investigation is adopted, with multiple departments for reception, collection and investigation, and Yang Yibing is temporarily the director.

Huang Ke told him to dare to challenge, not to have any worries, and to be prepared to take on heavier burdens in the future. Yang Yibing lived up to expectations, investigated and punished more than 50 officers at or above the rank of colonel in the army within a month, and sent five generals to eat guns, confiscating property enough to arm two group armies.

While carrying out economic investigations and punishments nationwide, the police are not far behind. The Nanjing Police Department carried out clean government investigation and punishment to rectify the police style; At the same time, the high-profile case of Miss Kong Er's injury was also tried in court. After fierce arguments and trials, the court did not punish Miss Kong Er personally but fined her parents in view of the fact that she was under the age of 16.

Knowing the result of the trial, Kong Xiangxi breathed a sigh of relief, a few days ago he had asked someone to make peace with Huang Ke, and even Wang Jingwei was invited, but Huang Ke just said: "Waiting for the court trial, I can't interfere with the judiciary!" ”

In the days that followed, Kong Xiangxi felt an unprecedented despair. However, the result of the trial was indeed a bit unexpected to him, and it seemed that Huang Ke and his subordinates were merciful.

However, he did not have the slightest gratitude to Huang Ke, and walked out of the gate of the court with his daughter, and a large group of reporters surrounded him, but was rudely pushed away by the bodyguards, because it was a public trial, and there were many media who came to observe.

finally pushed away the bustling crowd and returned to the car, Kong Xiangxi's special car was blocked again. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, sighing that he really shouldn't have come to the trial. If it weren't for his brother-in-law Jiang Zhongzheng saying that he himself came here to put pressure on the court, he wouldn't want to come here.

"What are the people up front doing? Ah Biao, drive everyone away! Kong Xiangxi took his daughter's hand and said angrily. The daughter didn't seem to be restrained at all, and he almost scolded from the window.

The bodyguards struggled to drive away, and finally let the car drive out. Kong Xiangxi smiled slightly: "What does Jenteni want to eat?" I must not have eaten anything good in it for so long, right? ”

"Daddy, I want to eat ......"

Miss Kong Er and her father were chatting about all kinds of jokes in the car, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived at the Tietangchi Mansion. Miss Kong Er jumped downstairs, Jiang Zhongzheng, Song Meiling, Song Ailing and others had been waiting in the living room for a long time. After a few rounds of greetings, everyone began to sit down, Kong Xiangxi cocked Erlang's legs and said: "Huang Ke still knows the current affairs after all, and it is bound to be no good to tear his face with us at this time." ”

As he spoke, Kong Xiangxi flicked the dust that did not exist on his body with his hand. Jiang Zhongzheng also echoed and nodded slightly. While chatting, suddenly the housekeeper ran in and whispered a few rounds, only to see Kong Xiangxi's face change greatly.

"What's going on?" Jiang Zhongzheng saw the clue and asked.

"! The Anti-Corruption Department seized the Yang subsidiary! ”
