1 March 2003.

In the morning, the weather was fine.

Today's Xu Jingxian is different from the past.

Because he is no longer a minister prosecutor.

He will be appointed as the chief prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office.

He is just 29 years old this year, and he is still one year away from the thirty-year-old in ordinary people's cognition.

It can be seen how much of the president's prerogatives are.

"I'm going to work." After breakfast, Xu Jingxian put down the dishes and chopsticks, rinsed his mouth and wiped his mouth, got up and pecked his wife and son and nephew on the face and walked out.

"Wait." Lin Miaoxi shouted to him, then got up and stepped forward to straighten his tie under his puzzled gaze, and smiled sweetly, "Okay." ”

Xu Jingxian smiled slightly, turned around and left.

Walking out of the door, the car was still the same car, but the person standing next to the car waiting for him was no longer Zhao Dahai.

It was a young man of twenty-six or seventeen years old, of medium stature, half a head shorter than him, with a three-seven-haired haircut, fair skin, and upright and soft facial features.

His name is Park Zhizhi, and he is the full-time driver selected by Zhao Dahai for Xu Jingxian after he became the secretary.

After all, as the secretary of the procurator general, Zhao Dahai will take on more work in the future, and his status has also improved, so he is not suitable to continue to work as a driver.

"Prosecutor General!" Park Zhizhi stood up straight and bowed at 90 degrees, then quickly stepped forward and took the briefcase in Xu Jingxian's hand with both hands, turned around and ran to the side of the car and pulled the car door, "My lord, please get in the car." ”

Seeing his serious and meticulous look, Xu Jingxian showed a smile, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and then bent down and got into the car.

Park Zhizhi closed the door as lightly as possible, then sat in the driver's seat with his briefcase, put the bag on the co-pilot, fastened his seat belt, and started the vehicle with a lighter.

On the first day of driving for Xu Jingxian, he was very nervous, his body was very straight, and the car was very stable.

"Wisdom, tell me how you got to know the sea." Xu Jingxian leaned back comfortably, crossed Erlang's legs, and crossed his hands on his thighs.

If it weren't for the reliable person, then Zhao Dahai would definitely not dare to arrange to drive him.

"Yes." Park Zhizhi answered first, and then began to organize the language, "Brother Dahai and I have been neighbors for many years, he has always taken good care of me, and knows that I have always admired you, and it just so happened that I recently quit my job and was at home, so let me be your driver." ”

Zhao Dahai succeeded by himself, so he began to promote the people around him, and Xu Jingxian did not object to this.

As long as you don't want to stuff all the stray dogs in his neighborhood and make up a police dog.

"Oh, neighbor, it seems that you admire not only me, but also the sea." Xu Jingxian had a faint smile on his face and said in a calm tone.

Park Zhizhi nodded, "Yes, Brother Dahai is a few years older than me, he protected me when I was bullied when I was a child, and he can enter the government department to do things, or be a practical officer for you, so he has always been a role model for our peers on that street." ”

His face was slightly excited when he said this, obviously Zhao Dahai was the most beautiful boy on their street.

"Ouch, huh? Then it seems that you have a really good relationship, I hope you don't tell me some troubles in the future, otherwise he will have the opportunity to laugh at me again. Xu Jingxian joked.

Park Zhizhi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, it seems that Brother Dahai didn't tell a lie, Prosecutor General Xu has a really good relationship with him, he just wanted to say something but suddenly reacted, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back.

The originally relaxed body became tense again, clenched the steering wheel and said: "Please rest assured, friendship is friendship, work is work, what should not be said, I will never say a word!" ”

He remembered some of the things that Brother Dahai had told him a few days ago, that Prosecutor General Xu was a very sensitive and suspicious person, and if he wanted to develop well under him, he had to ensure absolute obedience and absolute loyalty to him.

"Okay, okay, don't be so nervous, relax, see you driving so nervously, do I dare to sit in your car in the future?" Xu Jingxian smiled.

"Yes, yes." Park Zhizhi deliberately relaxed his body while agreeing, but because of the deliberateness, he became more nervous, and it looked really awkward.

Xu Jingxian smiled dumbly, young people are still too young, and they can only rely on time and experience to educate.

However, there is also a benefit to using this kind of person.

is not as much as those old oils, and what the future will become depends on how you guide it.

Also as a young man.

Xu Jingxian likes to use young people.

This is not a lie, don't believe it, look at any of the women he has communicated with in depth who is not a young man?

His car soon arrived at the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office.

All the prosecutors are waiting at the gate.

The leaders are the three elders, the youngest of whom is forty years old, and the eldest has gray temples.

As Xu Jingxian's car drove into the gate, all the prosecutors involuntarily puffed up their chests.

As soon as his car came to a stop, the eldest man standing on the left, who was over fifty years old, immediately stepped forward and bent down to open the door of the back seat.

"Prosecutor General, please get out of the car."

"Why does Vice Minister Zheng need to be like this? You're my senior! After Xu Jingxian got out of the car, he hurriedly held his hand and helped him up, with a pleasant face.

Vice Chief Zheng stood up straight and said: "Today is the first day of the procurator general's first day in office, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, this is as it should be, please speak for everyone." ”

In fact, he also has mixed feelings.

The other party is not even a few years older than his son.

He had to grovel to him at his age.

Xu Jingxian bowed slightly and walked towards everyone.

Vice Chief Zheng also followed him.

Park Jiji walked at the back with a briefcase.

"Greetings to the Chief Prosecutor!"

With two other sub-chiefs taking the lead.

All the prosecutors in black suits bent down and shouted loudly at 90 degrees, and Zheng Jichang and Park Zhizhi, who were behind Xu Jingxian, also bent down.

In the empty square, hundreds of high-ranking prosecutors, ministers, section chiefs, and deputy directors all maintained a bowing posture and Xu Jingxian was the only one standing straight, like a peak that was looked up to.

Looking around, looking at the mountains and the back of everyone's heads and backs, Xu Jingxian inevitably felt agitated and speechless for a long time.

This state remained in this state for about three to five seconds.

He said, "Everyone, please get up." ”

Only then did everyone dare to stand up straight and raise their heads.

"Thank you." Xu Jingxian stepped forward to shake hands with the other two deputy chiefs, and then shook hands with the heads of various departments one by one, and he would chat a few words every time he walked in front of a person to show his intimacy.

After shaking hands with the leaders of various departments, he returned to his place and looked at everyone and said, "Thank you for today's welcome ceremony, thanks to your great support and the trust of Your Excellency the President, I have the honor to assume the responsibility of leading the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office......

After delivering a high-sounding and impassioned speech, Xu Jingxian bowed slightly to everyone and said, "Thank you, let's all go to work." ”

The crowd bowed in return and dispersed in an orderly manner.

After everyone left, Zhao Dahai went forward to get the briefcase in Pu Zhizhi's hand, "Give it to me." ”

Park Zhizhi handed him the briefcase with both hands.

"Attorney General, your office has been packed." Zhao Dahai looked at Xu Jingxian again and said.

Xu Jingxian nodded and walked towards the office building, Zhao Dahai didn't communicate much with Park Zhizhi, and followed.

Park Zhizhi watched the backs of the two of them drift away, then got into the car and drove away, preparing to wash the car, to ensure that Xu Jingxian was clean when he used the car at any time.

"How's the wisdom going, Attorney General? If it's not suitable, I'll give you a replacement. Seeing that the elevator had begun to rise, Zhao Dahai broke the silence with a loud voice.

"Ding~"

At this time, the elevator arrived, Xu Jingxian walked out of the elevator and walked to the office and said, "Let's try it first, I'll tell you if it's not suitable." ”

Zhao Dahai nodded slightly to indicate that he heard it.

Entering the office, Zhao Dahai put the briefcase on the desk, made him another cup of coffee, stood in front of the desk and said, "Prosecutor General, I'll go to work first, you can call me at any time if you have something." ”

After saying that, he bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Listen to the slight sound of the door closing.

Xu Jingxian looked around, looked at the clean, spacious and bright office and smiled, touched the solid wooden desk in front of him, and the smile on his face was even bigger.

He had just crossed over three years ago, and the first time he walked into this office, the prosecutor general was still Han Taecan.

Now this table has ushered in his new owner after Han Taecan, Kim Shixun, and Lin Zhongzhong.

And the results of the first three masters varied.

Han Tae-chan, who was implicated in the Park An-ryong case and took early retirement, achieved his goal in last year's parliamentary election and was successfully elected to the National Assembly.

Jin Shixun, the old leader who once had the grace to support Xu Jingxian, but in the end, he turned against each other by mistake, is a dry bone in the grave and sleeps underground.

Lin Zhongzhong, the last Gou king, was assigned to Busan under his calculations.

What will be the result of your future?

"Jingle Bell ~ Jingle Bell ~"

The phone ringing interrupted his thoughts.

Following the prestige, it is the office phone on the desk.

He grabbed the earpiece, "I'm Xu Jingxian." ”

"Prosecutor General Xu, Your Excellency the President is looking for you, please come to the Blue House as soon as possible." Kim so Kyung's voice came out.

Lu Wuxuan has many secretaries as president.

For example, Choi Su-do, secretary of general affairs, Moon Young-jae, secretary of civil affairs, and secretary of civil society...... Wait a minute.

These secretaries are each responsible for helping Lu Wuxuan deal with all aspects of official affairs, but Jin Zhuqing has no power in this regard, he looks more like he is specially for Lu Wuxuan, but he is the closest to him.

So compared with other secretaries, Kim so Qing, a secretary who seems to play soy sauce, is more valued.

Xu Jingxian responded: "Good golden secret." ”

After hanging up the phone, he immediately called Park Zhizhi and ordered him to prepare the car and wait for him at the gate of the ground checkpoint.

More than half an hour later, he arrived at the Blue House.

"Prosecutor Xu."

"Prosecutor Xu."

There were many people coming in and out of the Blue House, and some people took the initiative to greet Xu Jingxian after seeing him.

Heo Kyung-hyun came to the president's office, and Kim so-kyung's desk was outside the door of the president's office.

"Prosecutor General Xu is here, and the president is waiting for you inside." Jin Zhuqing got up to greet him, stepped forward to shake hands with Xu Jingxian, and reminded in a low voice: "It's for the reform of the prosecution again, Prosecutor General Xu, please be careful." ”

Xu Jingxian cast a grateful look at him.

Then Kim so Qing let go of his hand and stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Your Excellency, Prosecutor General Xu has arrived." ”

"Please come in."

Kim so-kyung stepped aside.

After Xu Jingxian pushed the door in, Jin Qing, who was standing on the side, closed the door and returned to his office.

The president's office is larger, and Xu Jingxian came once before when Jin Houguang was in power, so he didn't feel new or shocked, and stepped forward with a calm face and bowed, "Your Excellency the president, you are looking for me." ”

"Well, sit." Lu Wuxuan was approving a document at this time, and said without raising his head.

Xu Jingxian walked to the side and sat down, put his hands on his lap in a regular manner, and quietly waited for the other party to finish.

After about a minute or two, Lu Wuxuan put down the pen in his hand and said: "Jingxian is now the chief prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office, and as the leader of the core district prosecutor's office in the country, your words and deeds have a profound impact on all your fellow prosecutors. ”

"I called you here today, or for the reform of the prosecution, you are a prosecutor, you know better than me how much power the prosecutor has, and you also know very well how much harm this has caused."

"Jingxian, from what you have done, I unreservedly believe that you love this country as much as I do, the reform of the prosecution is to the detriment of the interests of the prosecutor, but it is the interests of the people who are protected, and it is a move to benefit the country and the people, I hope you can support me."

Lu Wuxuan's tone was very sincere and sincere, if Xu Jingxian really loved this country, he would definitely agree without hesitation, but his patriotism was all disguised, and he loved the power in his hands even more.

So he couldn't agree, if he really put a rope on himself, it would be difficult to untie it in the future.

Moreover, the reform that Lu Wuxuan said is to set up another department to supervise the prosecution and restrict the use of the prosecutor's power, so for a prosecutor like him who is corrupt and perverts the law, this new department is equivalent to a butcher's knife hanging over his head that may fall at any time.

He wouldn't agree unless he was crazy.

After all, his ass is really unclean.

He really supports Lu Wuxuan's words, maybe he will be killed first after this department is established.

And he is a prosecutor, if he does not protect the interests of the prosecutor, it is a betrayal of the collective, and when the time comes, other prosecutors will think about bringing him down first.

The South Korean prosecutor group has always been extremely united, and even though there are internal disputes, everyone can be unanimous at all times.

The most important thing is that he knows Lu Wuxuan, and he knows history better, and he knows that he can't do it.

To sum up all these factors, even if he turned his face with Lao Lu for this reason, he would never agree.

"Your Excellency, I understand what you mean, but I can't agree with it." Xu Jingxian stood up and said with a serious expression: "As I said before, the power of the prosecution is too great, and I support you if you want to reform, but you can't be in a hurry, if you are too anxious, there will be big problems, and please think twice." ”

He is also good for Lu Wuxuan, after all, Lu Wuxuan wants to reform and do things, but he is not bold enough.

Not only will it be a bad thing, but it will also be a shame.

In the original time and space, he was the same as now, less than 10 days after he came to power, he yelled and opened the knife on the prosecution.

It stands to reason that he is the president, and he can directly use his power to suppress people, even if the prosecution resists, at most he can engage in a few mass incidents, and it is enough to suppress them directly by force, can he really rebel? As far as the prosecution is concerned, if you want to rebel, you won't succeed!

However, he did not want to invite a few representatives of the prosecution to appear on television programs to engage in debates, in an attempt to surrender the army without a fight in front of the entire people, and to use his eloquence to influence and persuade these representatives of the prosecution.

As a result, he wanted to show his face, but he exposed his buttocks, and the prosecution representative did not want him at all, making him lose face in front of the people, and his prestige was greatly damaged, and later the matter of the prosecution's reform was over.

It was not until Wen Young-jae came to power later that he successfully limited the power of the prosecution by drastic means.

"Jingxian, the president of our country can only be elected for five years, not for a second term, five years! It may seem like a long time, but it's actually very short, and if you take everything slowly, it will take a year or two to solve a problem of prosecutor reform, so what else can I do? Lu Wuxuan shook his head and asked.

This is actually also a problem, when you first come to power, you have to spend a year or two engaged in power struggles, stabilize your position, and when everything is settled and you are ready to start doing things, there are only two or three years left.

How much can you do in two or three years? Many things have just begun, and the effect has not yet been seen, and perhaps the next president will give you all the no.

Xu Jingxian knew that he was a vegetable and fun-loving, so he couldn't make sense, so he could only bow and say: "I still maintain my original opinion, please think twice, if your Excellency insists on going your own way, then maybe under the influence of various factors, I have to stand on the opposite side of you." ”

"Smack!" Lu Wuxuan was furious, and immediately took the case and pointed at Xu Jingxian and shouted: "Jingxian, what's the matter with you? Looking ahead and looking forward at a young age! In addition, you said that you didn't support me before, but you didn't oppose it, and now you say that you want to oppose me, isn't it becoming too fast! ”

He had a feeling of anger, it was good for young people to be calm, but how could he do it without a little momentum?

"I was able not to support or oppose it before, because my position at the time allowed me not to express my position, but since you have promoted me to the position of the chief prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutor, then I have to make a choice, I hope you understand." Xu Jingxian said sincerely.

Lu Wuxuan laughed angrily and said, "So I gave you a promotion or did I get promoted wrongly?" Did I move a roadblock for myself by promoting you to Attorney General? ”

He really wanted to go up and kick Xu Jingxian a few times.

I can't figure out how the Seoul Tiger, who was not afraid of chaebols and high-ranking officials in the past, has become so cowering in this matter.

Is it so hard to make up your mind to support him?

"If I embarrass my seniors, I can resign." Xu Jingxian bowed his head deeply, and then said: "But in this position, I have to make this difficult choice, and I can at least control the emotions of other prosecutors and control the degree of opposition, so that they will not make radical actions to prevent irreversible consequences." ”

I'm taking the lead against you for your own good!

"Alright, get out!" Lu Wuxuan pointed to the door and shouted angrily, turned his back to Xu Jingxian.

Xu Jingxian bowed deeply and turned to leave.

As soon as he closed the door, Jin Suqing immediately greeted him and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" I've heard your furious voice outside. ”

Didn't he remind Xu Jingxian just now?

"It's fine." Xu Jingxian smiled slightly, he and Kim so Qing are in different positions, and their thinking is also different.

Kim so Qing always only needs to think about Lu Wuxuan's emotions, but Xu Jingxian has to think too much, so sometimes he has to say things that he knows will anger Lu Wuxuan.

Seeing Xu Jingxian leave, Jin Zhuqing was stunned for a while, and then made a cup of coffee and sent it to Lu Wuxuan, "Your Excellency, please moisten your mouth." ”

While Lu Wuxuan was drinking coffee, he said tentatively: "Your Excellency, does Minister Xu still disagree with your upcoming reform of the prosecution?" ”

"I just didn't agree with it before, but now I explicitly oppose it." Lu Wuxuan sneered, put down the cup and said, "Okay, he has supported me for so long and opposes me for the first time, so he has played with him." ”

"After all, this matter involves the reduction of his own power, and Minister Xu is not immune to it." Kim so Qing said a bad word about Xu Jingxian lightly.

Lu Wuxuan frowned, turned his head to look at him and said, "Su Qing, do you have a conflict with Jingxian?" ”

Every time he had the opportunity, Kim so Kyung said something bad to him that seemed to be harmless to Xu Jingxian.

He felt that it was necessary to understand the extent to which the conflict between the two had developed, and intervene according to the situation, so as not to disagree with the two and affect the right thing.

"No, Prosecutor General Xu and I only have some differences of opinion on the matter, but it can't be called a contradiction." Kim so Qing's face changed and explained.

Lu Wuxuan took in his expression, and then thought that Xu Jingxian didn't say anything bad about Kim Suqing, which means that Kim Suqing has unilateral opinions on him, but it is not a big contradiction, so he will not ask again.

After all, Kim so Qing is a person close to him, and it is better to be a little discordant with a foreign minister like Xu Jingxian, if he is really close, then he will have to consider changing his secretary.

On the other side, Xu Jingxian had just gotten in the car and was about to return to the ground inspection when he received a call from the chief executive, Quan Shenglong.

Ask him to have two drinks together at 9 p.m.

And for the invitation of the new boss, he naturally couldn't refuse, and agreed to it.

…………………………

The clock was fast approaching evening.

At around half past eight, Park Zhizhi drove Xu Jingxian and Zhao Dahai to a private club.

Leaving Park Zhizhi in the car, Xu Jingxian and Zhao Dahai followed the waiter who came to greet him into the clubhouse.

"Secretary Zhao, please come with me." As soon as he entered the hall on the first floor, a waiter took Zhao Dahai away.

Xu Jingxian followed another waiter to a private room on the second floor, and then pushed the door in.

As soon as the door opened, he found that Kwon Seung-ryong had not only invited him, but also many familiar faces, such as Kang Hyo-sung, the head of the northern branch, Kim Bin-jong, the new deputy head of the hall, the head of the Central Investigation Department, the director of the Eastern Branch, and so on...... A series of high-level prosecutors in Seoul.

It's rare that there are no women in the private room.

"Prosecutor General Xu is finally here, but let's wait!" Quan Shenglong laughed and got up and grabbed Xu Jingxian's shoulders, pressed him on the sofa and sat down, "Now everyone is finally together." ”

"I'm sorry everyone, let everyone wait for me for so long, I should be punished, I will punish myself three cups first." Xu Jingxian said apologetically after sitting down, then poured himself three glasses of wine, and drank them all in turn.

"Good! Prosecutor Xu massive! ”

"I see, Prosecutor General Xu is obviously thirsty, and he wants to drink a few glasses first."

"Hahahaha......"

There was a lot of laughter in the private room.

"Okay, okay, stop kidding, let's get down to business." Kwon Clapped His Hands to Signal Silence.

Everyone looked at him with a smile.

Quan Shenglong stood in front of the table, crossed his waist and looked around, and said: "If this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that everyone here will not be able to laugh in the future." ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed.

Xu Jingxian guessed what Kwon Seung-ryong was going to say.

Although Lu Wuxuan's preparation for the prosecution to use the knife has not yet been made public, he must have communicated with the Ministry of Justice in advance, after all, the Ministry of Justice is the superior unit of the Procuratorate, and the new chief is his person.

And Quan Shenglong, as the prosecutor general, naturally has his own connections in the Ministry of Justice, and it is not surprising that he can get relevant news in advance, otherwise Xu Jingxian really can't think of anything else that he needs to gather so many high-level executives together in private to discuss.

"Hehe, our President Lu, is a good hand at crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." Quan Shenglongpi didn't smile, took a glass of wine and drank it all, turned around and played with the wine glass and said: "Our prosecutor tried his best to send him to the presidential throne, and his ass was not hot yet, so he was thinking about how to knife us." ”

In fact, it was precisely because the prosecution made too much effort in the process of Lu Wuxuan's election campaign that he further realized the harm of the prosecutor's excessive power.

"Wow!"

The crowd in the private room was in an uproar.

"Chief, what do you mean by that?"

"The president wants to suppress our prosecutors? It wouldn't be so unwise, would it? What's in it for him? ”

"Chief, what kind of rumors did you get......

"Quiet! It's all quiet! Quan Shenglong shouted impatiently, and then said: "I have received definite information, the first thing the president did after taking office is to reform the current procuratorial system, with only one purpose, that is, to set up a supervision department to limit the power of prosecutors, and it is estimated that the relevant official documents will be issued soon." ”

Now everyone exploded.

"What? Assi! Lu Wuxuan, how could he do this? This is simply ungrateful! ”

"Our prosecutor's power has always been like this, what's wrong with that? Because of this, we are far more efficient than other departments. ”

"Nishiba! Absolutely not! If he does, we can't afford to sit still......"

No one is willing to hand over the power in their hands, and no one likes to have multiple dads on their heads to stare at them.

Their procurators are the undisputed kings of the judicial system, and if they really have a supervisory department independent of the procuratorial system, they will be inferior in the future.

And everyone's butts are not clean.

are afraid that it will become the result of this new department.

"Not bad! Can't sit still! That is the purpose of my invitation today. Kwon Seung-ryong nodded, and looked at Vice Minister Kim Bin-jong and Xu Jingxian, "Vice Minister Kim and Prosecutor General Xu were both drawn by His Excellency the President, so make a statement." ”

The scene suddenly fell silent again, and everyone's eyes were focused on Heo Kyung-hyun and Kim so-jong.

Compared with the previous intimacy and enthusiasm, there was already a little more vigilance and coldness in their eyes.

Ask for a commuter pass! Ask for a commuter pass! Ask for a commuter pass!
