Before opening the envelope, Senator Williams imagined countless possibilities in his mind

Although he had never been in contact with newspaper reporters before, he did not lose his vigilance because of the various scandals about parliamentarians in the newspapers over the years.

The famous phrase "fire prevention, anti-theft, anti-journalist" is said to have come from the mouth of the commander of the coalition forces, Lord Lorraine Luo. And it immediately became the motto of the legislators.

Of course, there is another possibility, which could also be a golden ticket inside the envelope. And the reporter in front of him, who laughs very annoyingly, may have come to buy himself.

But the possible surname is not big.

The senators are very imposing, but they don't have much power, and they may be able to restrain the political axe, but that's about it.

Judging from the content of the "Weekly Telegraph" in the recent period, it is under the banner of neutrality, but it is obviously biased towards supporting the political axe in the name of neutrality, but it is obvious that it is biased towards supporting the political axe.

Senator Williams quickly recalled in his mind everything he had done since becoming a senator.

After he became this senator, he naturally would not patronize the service of the Semitic people, and in addition to official duties, Senator Williams would also do a little personal work.

After all, Arcaderin's rice is quite expensive, and it is not easy to live in this city, especially as a public figure.

It cost him a lot of money to get a seat in the senator, and the land in his hometown was also expropriated by the political axe according to the law, and the tax arrears were paid.

Senator Williams had to spend almost all of his savings, and he had to participate in socializing and social activities, build relationships with his comrades within the faction, and win their support within the party.

When you have nothing to do, you have to flatter the bigwigs in the party. These puppies never rub sand in their eyes, say a few pretty words, and pat their ass. It simply doesn't work.

These uncles are all masters who want to do dry goods.

In addition, there are various birthdays, festivals, and weddings and funerals of parliamentarians, and the red envelopes paid are also a big number.

What's more, he also has a team of twelve people, a special car, and a few good horses. Although these are paid by the political axe and he does not need to pay his salary, in order to win the hearts of the people, he has to give them a few bonuses or something from time to time, which he has to pay out of his pocket.

The senator's salary alone is not enough to invite his subordinates to dinner, not to mention that he also keeps a few mistresses - if you don't have a few lovers these days, you are embarrassed to go out and greet people.

That's why politics have nothing to do with the poor.

According to Lingshan's law, as long as you have proof of assets, you have a donkey, and you are eligible to run for Congress, or even for president.

But that's just a legal requirement. You know, politics are expensive.

Although Williams is a senator, he also has to find a way to make a living.

The simplest of these is to act as an intermediary for the contractor, undertake the political axe project, and collect kickbacks, which are 10 to 15 percent of the project price.

But everyone does it, and he's not alone, it's an unspoken rule in the council. Even Lord Luo turned a blind eye.

This reporter looks not young, and he won't be so stupid to poke this hornet's nest.

Williams thought secretly: "If it's not a kickback, then it's my anonymous report that was discovered?"

After the occupation of Acadherine, he once secretly reported several of his enemies, and the other party was captured by the CIA and tossed hard, which was a bit troublesome.

However, he consciously did it very secretively, and even if the other party noticed it, he couldn't get evidence.

Williams secretly calculated the statement of response, ready to respond calmly, he was not even afraid of Madolins, this little wind and waves could not scare him, and he was not afraid of a small reporter.

The senator's intuition is most likely that he was caught having an affair by these paparazzi, and he and the two goblins in the office often open ghosts in the hotel.

In this era, keeping a lover does not threaten his status as a senator, even if he is shaken out by the newspaper, everyone laughs and praises: celebrities are romantic.

At most, it's a little troublesome, and the yellow-faced woman at home should make trouble again.

Everyone is doing this, and even the people themselves are used to it.

No one has ever dared to say that people with many lovers have a bad character, and the first thing to attack people with this is Lord Lorraine's face, he not only has many girlfriends, but also is a well-known beauty, and he is in charge of various industries.

Speaking of which, Williams is also worthy of being a politician, and his brain is spinning fast.

Although it was only a few breaths, he had already turned his own affairs in his mind.

Sure that he didn't have any handle in the hands of others, he had the courage to open the envelope.

But Senator Williams didn't think of it......

He saw that it was actually a business dispute in the old political axe era.

He embezzled his partner's goods and forced the other party to commit suicide, which is suspected of fraud and is a criminal offense.

Although this was a matter during the period of the old political axe, this kind of criminal offense, even the new political axe, has to be confessed. If the other party shakes out these evidence, the legal authorities will also come forward.

The senator thought that this matter had long been forgotten with the fall of the old political axe, and he didn't expect that this reporter's dog nose was really sensitive, and he never knew which horn was to pick out this old story.

For a while, his face was blue and white, which was really ugly.

Bentley admired the wonderful expression on the senator's face, and secretly smug in his heart: How could I use those little things to catch your big fish.

The only people who can dig up such a secret event are the secret police who have the secrets of the Lingfoil nobles, and they don't know how many secrets are buried in the pile of old papers in their archives.

These were originally collected by the old political axe prime minister, Madorins, who was going to clean up the disobedient guys. But before he could use the knife, he would fall first. So the newly created FBI was cheapened for nothing.

However, these files are too chaotic, and the FBI has not spared no effort to sort out these black materials in order to find out these black materials.

Senator Williams' expression changed back and forth a few times, threw the note on the table, looked up at Bentley, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Gold medal reporter Bentley spread his hands and said, "Tomorrow Your Excellency Senator, you will see a news in the newspaper, is it called black hands voting, or is it better to call justice behind?"

Both headlines are a satire of Senator Williams.

Senator Williams' face turned pale, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.

This position, he has worked hard to get it, and there must be no mistakes.

At this time, Bentley's eyes stayed on his fist for a moment, and when he saw the green tendons on Williams' hands jumping up one by one, he suddenly smiled slightly and said softly: "Of course, you can also not board." ”

Senator Williams snorted coldly, leaned back in his chair, looked at the Bentley reporter, and said, "Tell me straight, what do you mean?"

Although the words are still tough, they make people hear the flavor of the color and guilt.

Bentley was already waving the banner of victory in his heart, and he was not in a hurry to speak, but took out a cigarette, lit it leisurely, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a thick puff of smoke.

Then, through the smoke, like a cat playing with a mouse, I saw Williams's expression, and then said slowly: "Our editor-in-chief is very concerned about this matter, and instructed me to come to the senator to verify it in person." This matter, whether you can register or not, it's up to you, Senator?"

Williams said coldly, "What do you want from me, money?"

"Ha~!" Bentley sneered, "You underestimate us too much, all we need is a promise, you know, Mr. Doroni is very concerned about our newspaper." ”

"Doreni~!" Senator Williams flashed a flash of lightning in his heart, and immediately understood the meaning of his words.

This qiē action was all carried out by the damn Doreni chief of staff next to Brad, his heart sank, and he secretly thought: If it was him, it would not be easy to deal with~!

Doroni is a smart and cunning guy, and he is very hard backstage, like a hedgehog with a piercing hand.

At the beginning, when Bentley threw out the text, Williams's heart was extremely shaken, and he had planned to break the fortune and avoid disaster. But then he calmed down, but he was thinking about killing people and killing people - which point of the senator's uncle is not bloody, how can a dead reporter blackmail~!

Just make a phone call, and there are several corporate groups willing to help in this regard, maybe a top killer, to ensure that it is clean and does not leave a little behind.

But now, it's Doreni...... The situation is extremely complicated. Killing a damn journalist and taking out the chief adviser to the president are two different concepts entirely.

The former is at most a criminal case.

And the latter is an extremely strict case of the political zhì surname. In case Brad gets nervous again, thinking that someone is going to attack the people around him, planning to usurp the throne, and then launch a large-scale purge......

The horror that Madorins had wrought had only recently passed. This is still fresh in everyone's memory.

Seeing that the senator had been shaken, Bentley decided to add another weight to crush the poor congressman, as if casually, "Oh, by the way, we met with Senator McWinnie yesterday, and he was very appreciative of the media's attitude. ”

"What~!" Williams was shocked, McWennie was a big man in the party, much more powerful than him, and secretly said in his heart: Even a person as virtuous as him betrayed the revolution and defected to the president?

These congressmen do not buy the president's account and work against the president because they have their eyes on the future presidential election and want to accumulate prestige and power from now on.

But now, if he does not give in, once the scandal is exposed, his party will sacrifice him without hesitation as if they were digging out an abscess, which is cruel and ruthless politics.

And the price for him to betray the party and join Brad is also very high, at least he will be kicked out of their circle by the party, and he will be left to fend for himself until he finds a new backer, or slowly disappears from the political arena.

Senator Williams's mind was in a fierce confrontation between the two ideas, and in the end Mingzhe Bao took the upper hand, he nodded, and said sternly: "I also very much welcome the supervision of the newspaper, we Semitic need more good newspapers like the Weekly Telegraph." ”

The leader was like a senator who went down to inspect.

Bentley finally smiled triumphantly, and the two of them played a round of dumb riddles, but they both understood each other accurately.

He stood up, stretched out his hand to the senator, shook it vigorously, and said, "We are always welcome to suggest our work, Your Excellency. ”

Williams smiled bitterly, pointed to the note on the table, and said, "Won't you take this back?"

Bentley laughed and said, "You can keep it, we have a lot of them there." ”

Saying that, he turned around and walked out the door.

Williams was stunned for a moment, wondering what he meant by 'and a lot more,' which made the senator very uneasy: Is the other party still holding his handle?

The annoyed senator grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it on the ground, and the beautiful white porcelain cup shattered into pieces with a crisp sound, startling the little secretary who walked in in a hurry.

Her pink face turned white with fright, and she said in horror, "What happened?"

Senator Williams collapsed in his chair and said in frustration: "I was blackmailed by the president's men, these damn bitches~!"

The beautiful and weak female secretary threw herself into the arms of the senator, hugged the senator tightly, and said hesitantly: "Is there no way? Should we report to the officials? Sue them for fraud, and the party will support us." ”

Senator Williams let out a long sigh at hearing her idiot-like advice, but bravely stepped forward to prevent this stupid woman from making her own claims. At the moment, he had to explain patiently: "It's useless, this guy is from the newspaper."

He and the person who instructed him were both newspapers, and even if we say it, the president's person can be said to be the personal act of the newspaper, the freedom of the press.

If the president is not involved, the party will not stand up for me, and I, the congressman, will be the end. ”

Williams is well aware that his current status as a "senator" has brought him to him. If he did not have this identity, he would have been a small landlord in the countryside of the Eastern Province with only 300 acres of land and a deposit of 2,000 gold coins.

In any case, he wants to save his political future.

Senator Williams, who was in trouble, used his brains and said to himself: Maybe we should talk to McWennie first. Anyway, everyone is likely to be kicked out by the party in the future. It is also considered to be sympathetic, and it is better to take the opportunity to reorganize a new party.

Perhaps by then, this new party will be so large that it will become a major party in Parliament......

Under the double blow of the newspapers and the FBI, the scorching heat of August was as bitter cold as winter for the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Enemies hiding in the shadows are like king cobras lurking in the grass, attacking them in unexpected places, spraying deadly venom.

Politicians are not innocent. Even if there is, it has been blackened by others, and if there is really that kind of sludge that is not stained, everyone can't rest assured, and they have to work together to trample the dog cub to the ground.

Therefore, they don't have Doroni who can't catch the little tail.

Many of the ** that only happened in the secret room, and the parliamentarians didn't know what was going on, so they were dug up and exposed by reporters.

What is even more terrifying than exposure is that they come to the door with black materials to threaten them, asking them to be obedient, and for a while people are panicked, and everyone in parliament is in danger, and when they hear that a reporter comes to cover the door, they are so frightened that their legs and stomachs only tremble.

The parliamentarians all fell into passivity and sighed: This president did not expect to be such a shameless and sinister person.

President Bullard, who was a good old man who was soft and soft in everyone's minds, turned into a demon king, and the reporters were his demons, holding the devil's contract and asking them to sell their souls.

The spy government showed its powerful power, and Brad sighed, it's so easy to use, it turns out that the government can also play like this.

is even a little fascinated, although he knows that the spy is an addictive poison, he still likes this feeling of the other party indulging in his hands.

The secrets of acquaintances were laid away and exposed to him, and watching their sanctimonious or righteous performances was very amusement, as if he were watching a wonderful play.

At the same time, it also reinvigorated President Bullard's confidence that his opponents were just as stupid and weak.

The sudden rise of the great president has changed the political power within the republican axe and developed in a direction favorable to himself.

During the whole process, Lord Lorraine just watched from the sidelines, neither conniving nor stopping.

The spy government naturally has his use, and he didn't see Chongzhen, the second diligent emperor of the Ming Dynasty who loved the people, came to power and abolished the imperial secret agent Jinyi Wei and the east and west factories of the check and balance officials, and then was completely fooled by the civil officials, and finally played himself to death.

President Bullard, who had the upper hand, took advantage of the victory and hosted a banquet for the governors of the study class at the presidential palace under the banner of contacting feelings.

The more than 30 governors with a keen sense of smell are well aware that in the recent political turmoil in Akaderine, President Brad has taken the initiative without making a sound.

The governors judged the situation and knew that people were under the eaves, and they had to bow their heads, maybe Brad was holding his black material in his hands.

No one was absent from the banquet, and even the old gentleman who suffered from heat stroke was supported to come to the banquet.

The ornate banquet hall and delicious dishes were not reassuring to the governors, who stared at the door of the hall with distraction.

With the attendant's loud "His Majesty the Semitic President has arrived", the hall instantly fell silent, everyone stood up and stood solemnly, and President Brad walked in briskly.

This was the third time they had met President Bullard after meeting at the opening ceremony of the course.

The smug appearance of his spring breeze in front of him makes it impossible to associate him with the wolf bèi statue that was beaten out by the council last month.

At the banquet, the Governors respectfully toasted their superiors and bowed their heads to President Bullard's teachings.

The good attitude of the younger brothers finally gave Brad a feeling of presidentship, and Brad sighed in his heart: It's really not easy, at home, whether it is his wife or his daughter, he doesn't regard it as a Semitic head of state.

At the banquet, President Bullard brought up the old story and asked the governors of all kinds to cooperate in the army to suppress the bandits for the sake of the great cause of the republican government.

The governors all generously agreed, saying that at this critical juncture, Fang showed his true character as loyal ministers, and it was the duty of our magistrates to share the worries for the political axe, and we would bear our own military expenses, and we would not need to pay for the central political axe.

After the banquet, President Bullard fell into his chair drunk, listening to the compliments and sycophants of his staff, and he seemed to fly into the sky in a happy mood.

But the door of the Oval Office was suddenly slammed open, and a staff member broke in in a panic, shouting anxiously: "Oh no~!"
