November 7, 2004, light rain.

At 10 a.m., a black limousine ran over the ground and rolled up a murky splash on the road, eventually stopping outside a cemetery.

After the car stopped, Zhao Dahai on the co-pilot got out of the car first and held up a black umbrella, then opened the rear seat door and stretched the umbrella directly above the door.

Xu Jingxian got out of the car, straightened his coat, and then walked towards the new grave where a mother and daughter were standing.

Zhao Dahai held the umbrella for him, and the umbrella was on top of Xu Jingxian's head to completely cover it, while he himself let the rain fall on his face.

He is not holding an umbrella for one person, but for millions of Seoul citizens, and the safety of the lives and property of these people is on the shoulders of Prosecutor Xu alone, so he can't catch a cold.

Walking to the tomb, I saw Gao Shunjing's name written on the stele, Xu Jingxian bent down and bowed three times, put down a chrysanthemum, and then apologized to Mrs. Gao, who was holding an umbrella and holding her daughter on the side, "There was an emergency meeting in the morning, and I couldn't come to see President Gao on his last journey." ”

Gao Shunjing died in his hands.

Perhaps in the eyes of those in the know, Xu Jingxian's move is a bit of a cat crying mouse fake compassion, but he did come with a sense of guilt.

He doesn't have much intersection with Gao Shunjing.

Not to mention the depth.

But Gao Shunjing did help him, and he owed him a personal favor in the matter of the burial goods of the ancestral tombs of the An family.

Killing Gao Shunjing was really not what he wanted.

People are in officialdom, they can't help themselves, they ask him to do things, he can not do it, that person will change to an obedient person to do it, and it will do it better than him.

Gao Shunjing died, and he could only take more care of his wife and daughter, which could be regarded as repaying the favor owed to the other party.

"Prosecutor General Xu has every opportunity, and he already has a heart to come." Mrs. Gao's eyes were full of tears, and she laughed at herself and said: "When Shunjing was alive, there was an endless stream of dignitaries and dignitaries in the family, and now that he is dead, except for some business friends, those officials only sent secretaries or drivers, only the chief prosecutor You can come in person, I am already very grateful, I believe that Shunjing Quanxia will be happy if he knows." ”

She didn't know that the person in front of her husband's death was one of the murderers, otherwise she would definitely collapse.

"President Gao helped me a lot during his lifetime, and my sister-in-law and children can contact the sea in the future, whether they have any difficulties in work or life." Xu Jingxian glanced at the tombstone and said to Mrs. Gao sincerely.

Zhao Dahai, who was on the side, hurriedly took out a business card from his arms and handed it over, saying, "Madame can call me at any time, and if I can't solve it, I will tell the chief prosecutor." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you really." Mrs. Gao was moved, her voice was crying, she took the business card with trembling hands, looked down at Xu Jingxian's daughter and said, "Thank you uncle." ”

The death of her husband made people go away with tea, and the words of warmth and coldness were vividly displayed, and at this moment, facing Xu Jingxian, who was lending a helping hand, she couldn't help but want to cry.

There are still good people in the world.

"Thank you, uncle." Gao Shunjing's daughter held her mother's hand tightly and whispered with red eyes.

Xu Jingxian smiled slightly and gently pinched her face, "Tell uncle what your name is." ”

Thanks to the excellent genes of Gao Shunjing and his wife.

The girl is a beauty embryo at a young age.

Don't get me wrong, he is a person with normal views, and he doesn't have any dirty thoughts about this kind of little girl.

At most, she might have some thoughts about her mother.

"Uncle, my name is Gao Xinhui."

"Xinhui, it's so nice, Dad is gone, you have to take care of Mom." Xu Jingxian touched her head, and said to Mrs. Gao: "If you have time, you can bring Xinhui to the house as guests, my son and nephew are also three or four years old, and the three little ones can play together." ”

"Well, definitely, I'll definitely go." Mrs. Gao squeezed out a smile on her face, nodded and replied.

She was wearing a black coat, but she still couldn't hide her plump figure, a leg wrapped in black silk was exposed under the skirt, and her rain-stained hair made her look a little embarrassed, and she had a messy beauty.

Xu Jingxian withdrew his gaze from him: "I still have to take a step in advance, it's raining, don't catch the child a cold, sister-in-law will come back early." ”

"Okay, you go slowly." Mrs. Gao looked down at the child and said, "Hurry up and say goodbye to Uncle Xu." ”

"Goodbye, Uncle Xu." Gao Xinhui waved her hand.

"Goodbye, remember to come to my uncle's house to play." Xu Jingxian smiled gently, touched her face and turned to leave.

Zhao Dahai bowed to Mrs. Gao, and then left with an umbrella over Xu Jingxian's head.

Looking at the backs of the two, Mrs. Gao retracted her gaze for a long time, bowed her head and educated the child, "Xinhui, you must remember those who are good to you, understand." ”

"Uh-huh." Gao Xinhui couldn't understand the meaning of these words, but just nodded obediently subconsciously.

After getting in the car, Xu Jingxian glanced at the two figures, one big and one small, through the window, and sighed again.

"Drive."

He sorted out his mood and returned to his calm and unsmiling appearance, if he didn't want his wife and children to fall into this situation one day, he had to put away all pity and kindness and continue to climb up.

As the car starts, it gradually picks up, and the scenery from the windows on both sides recedes rapidly, constantly changing......

Another year in the blink of an eye, on January 19, 2005, a major event occurred, Seoul Persimmon Chief Lee Kyung-hee announced that the official name of Seoul was officially changed to Seoul.

It's just a name change work to deepen his image in the hearts of the people, but under the rendering of Li Qingxi, it has become abandoning the influence of Chinese culture and enhancing national self-confidence, which has made countless sticks excited.

Li Qingxi also got his wish and became famous.

His popularity among the people has been high since he rushed into the fire to save people, and this name change in Seoul has raised his approval rating to a higher level.

In the Xu family, in the study, Li Qingxi, who came to be a guest, withdrew his gaze from the TV news that reported the name change incident, shook his head and said with a smile: "I really can't understand the strange pride of the people at the bottom, just changing the name, can you really abandon the influence of Chinese culture?" Our ID card is still in Chinese characters. ”

Although he promoted this matter, he didn't expect the effect to be so good, and the people who were happy when they heard it in the news were not arranged by him.

"We don't need to understand, we just need to utilize." Xu Jingxian shrugged with a smile, raised his teacup and touched him, and then said, "The local election is about to be held, what is the situation now." ”

Since he found out that Lu Wuxuan was hopeless, he no longer deliberately cared about this kind of thing involving the general direction, so he really didn't know the details of the situation.

But Li Qingxi is sure that he knows it well.

So it's right to ask him.

"The country's voice is very high, and the open voice will lose very badly this time." Li Qingxi was shocked in a nutshell, and then made a joke, "Is our President Lu born to be politically restrained, before he joined the Democratic Party, he was a big party that could compete with the country, and now the glorious democracy has existed in name only." ”

"After he joined the Open Council in May last year, the original First Speaker of the National Assembly has been on a downward slope for most of the past six months, and according to our estimates, the Open Yen will be completely defeated in both this year's local council elections and local leadership elections."

Lu Wuxuan has been in power for two years, during which the country's economy has not been good, the reforms he wants to promote have basically not been completed, while housing prices are soaring, the unemployment rate has plummeted, and the people are already very dissatisfied with him.

So his support for his openness was also implicated, and his support plummeted.

"Open to the public, this is Cheng Ye Lu Wuxuan, but defeat is also Lu Wuxuan." Xu Jingxian shook his head and concluded.

Li Qingxi didn't want to continue this topic, so he changed his words, "I heard that you want to go further?" ”

Quan Shenglong will retire next month, and the top level of the procuratorate will usher in a new round of adjustments.

"That's what I said, but no one can say for sure what hasn't been decided yet." Xu Jingxian was undeniable.

Last year, he helped a group of old men solve the Nanguo Trading Company, which has now been bulldozed and is currently repairing the mall, and in return, the old men promised to make him the deputy head of the hall this year, and in fact they are doing the same, and are already pushing for it.

Many people are asking him about this, but he has not given an exact response, the more he has to keep a low profile at this juncture, after all, I don't know how many people are secretly jealous of him, and they want to ruin his promotion this time.

"With so many people supporting you, it's just a matter of a document away from settling down." Li Qingxi still felt strange when he talked about this, how did Xu Jingxian quietly attract such a large group of old men as backers.

This group of old men is amazing, let's describe it like this, the pension after retirement is the highest batch.

With the assistance of people like Xu Jingxian, Li Qingxi will be more confident in the presidential election the year after next.

Xu Jingxian said: "Let's do it and see." ”

"Bang bang!" There was a knock on the door, followed by Xu Shicheng's voice, "Dad, it's time to eat." ”

"Got it." Xu Jingxian replied, looked at Li Qingxi and said, "Let's go, go down to eat first." ”

"I'm really hungry." Li Qingxi touched his stomach and got up with a smile, walked out with Xu Jingxian, and as soon as he opened the door, he hugged Xu Shicheng, "Ouch, is Shicheng heavy again." ”

"It's Uncle Li, your strength has become smaller." Xu Shicheng was very familiar with him, and immediately refuted loudly.

"It's over, you Uncle Li, I'm old."

The Xu family is very lively today, because not only Li Qingxi came as a guest, but Mrs. Gao also brought her daughter.

Since mid-November last year, Mrs. Gao has often brought Gao Xinhui to Xu's house as a guest, and she has become a good friend with Lin Miaoxi, and her daughter Gao Xinhui has also become the big sister that Xu Shicheng and Lin Hanyun like.

If the three little guys grow up together like this, they can also be called childhood sweethearts.

At the same time, a certain Japanese-style izakaya.

In the private room, two middle-aged men sat looking at each other.

One is Kim Bin Jong, the current deputy head of the hall, and the other is Park Kook-yoon, the current head of the Central Investigation Department.

Park Guoyin's face was full of indignation, he picked up the wine glass and drank it up, and then put it heavily on the table, complaining with a mouth full of wine, "I am convinced of Xu Jingxian's ability, but he is only thirty-one this year, and he is only thirty-two years old, and he was only promoted to be the chief prosecutor by privilege the year before last, and he wants to be the deputy director of the hall this year, is he too anxious, a little too much!" ”

It's no wonder that he is so full of complaints, because if Xu Jingxian hadn't intervened, then he would have been promoted to second chief this year, and now he will be replaced immediately, but he can still be happy when he learns that his position has been robbed.

He used to be the head of the branch office in the field, and he returned to Seoul to serve as the head of the Central Investigation Department in order to wait for two years later, under the care of his old boss Kim Bin-jong, to further serve as the deputy head of the department.

"Minister Yin, be cautious, don't say anything that is not conducive to unity." Jin Binzhong reprimanded, but then changed his words and said with deep sympathy, "But what you said also makes sense, Prosecutor General Xu is indeed too anxious, it's not a good thing to have such a strong desire for power at a young age, you are my old subordinate, I also want to push you up, but now I really can't help this situation, after all, the people above have a high voice for him, unless it's ......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, "Forget it, don't talk about it, drink and drink, it's a big deal that you will wait a few more years." ”

With that, he took a sip from his glass.

"Vice Chief Kim, if there is anything we can't say between us, if there is a way, you can point out to me!" Park Kook-in was immediately unhappy when he heard this, he had been waiting for two years and didn't want to wait any longer.

Because he is not as young as Xu Jingxian.

It's already been five.

Jin so Zhong played with the empty cup in his hand, his face was cloudy, and he said after a while: "Unless he makes a mistake at this juncture, the person above will not push a person with the wrong person on his back for the sake of his reputation, even if it is found out afterwards that he is wronged The daylily is already cold, tsk, I just said it casually, you just listen to it, don't take it seriously." ”

The meaning of this provocation and hint is almost clear, of course, Park Kook-yoin can't understand it, but it is precisely because of this that it strengthens his mind.

After all, the next chief doesn't want Xu Jingxian to be his deputy, and with him to support himself, what else is there to dare to do? You can't just sit still.

In officialdom, stability is important.

But it's also important to be able to dare when it matters most.

"It's not early, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." After observing the other party's expression, Kim Bin-jong looked at his watch and got up to say goodbye.

Park Guoyin hurriedly got up to send him off, helping to get his coat and opening the door, "Please go slowly." ”

"Stay, stay." Kim Bin-jong took his coat and went out the door, the smile on his face replaced by calm.

As the next prosecutor general, he absolutely does not want to have a deputy with such a strong desire for power, bold and reckless as Xu Jingxian, as well as a deep background.

Because that means that Xu Jingxian will not be willing to be at his mercy, he will definitely fight for power, he doesn't want to waste the two years that should be his own power alone in the open and secret struggle with Xu Jingxian.

Therefore, we must do our best to prevent Xu Jingxian from being promoted to vice minister.

But it is impossible for him to take the initiative to offend Xu Jingxian for this, so if he can succeed, he will also make a strong enemy, and if he doesn't succeed, then there will be trouble working with him in the future.

That's why he provoked Park Kook-yin, who also didn't want Xu Jingxian to be promoted, to charge into battle, and in order to give the other party some confidence, he also hinted that he would support him.

If Park Kook-yoin succeeds, everyone will be happy.

If Park Kook-yoin doesn't succeed, then Heo Kyung-hyun doesn't know that he is trying to prevent him from being promoted, and he tries to conflict with him not at work with his previous friendship.

He has no enmity with Xu Jingxian, and he doesn't hate this person, he just does it for his own interests.

In the officialdom, you fight to the death, and people lose their officials, go to prison, and even be physically destroyed at every turn, is there really any deep hatred between these people?

Most of them are none, and it is even possible that the two sides did not cross paths at all before the struggle.

It's all out of greed and profit.

After Kim Bin Jong left, Park Kook-yoon drank alone in the private room, and his face quickly became a little drunk, but his mind became clearer and clearer at high speed.

Soon he made up his mind and was ready to give it a go.

It's next month, and it's definitely too late to investigate Xu Jingxian's faults.

So I can only find a way to make fault for it.

Jin Xiaochang has a sentence that he agrees with, as long as the movement is sorted out first, even if Xu Jingxian is wronged after investigation, the daylily is already cold.

Because no matter how many backers he has, it is impossible for the position of the deputy chief to remain vacant and wait for the results of his investigation.

……………………………

Sunday, January 30th, the weather was fine.

Although he didn't have to go to work today, Xu Jingxian still got up early and drove to Li's house.

When he arrived, the Li family was having breakfast.

"Uncle, this is the Tieguanyin I brought from China to a friend, you can taste it." Xu Jingxian said hello to President Li and put the tea aside, and then sat down next to Li Fuzhen, "Broad & Bright didn't make trouble last night." ”

"It's okay, there's a nanny to take care of." Lee Fu Jung has returned to work and taken over the work of Lee Jae Rong before his death, and she is very busy, so she has found a nanny for the child so that she can rest better at night.

The maid came over with a pair of chopsticks and put them in front of Xu Jingxian, and Xu Jingxian naturally ate them.

Although his family is not short of money, he can feel his poverty every time he comes to the Li family, after all, the Li family has a private chef, and the three meals a day are very rich.

Whenever this happens, he will lament the evil capitalism, and then push Li Fuzhen to the bed and lash him fiercely, punishing the capitalists on behalf of the poor masses.

The output of justice!

"Why didn't you see my sister-in-law?" Xu Jingxian took a few bites before he looked up and asked knowingly.

President Lee snorted and did not respond.

Li Fuzhen pretended to explain, "She went back to the Lin family, their family's business has been sluggish recently, and it seems to be going downhill, her father is also old, and her sister-in-law can't bear to see him work so hard, so she went home to the company to help and brought Zhiyuan over." ”

This is equivalent to officially disconnecting from Li Zairong, and she will no longer be the daughter-in-law of the Li family in the future.

President Lee was unhappy not because Lin Shilin was not widowed for her son, but because she took her grandson away.

Fortunately, there is still a little grandson, otherwise he would never agree to take Li Zhiyuan to the Lin family.

Because Li Zhiyuan lived abroad with Lin Shilin most of the time when he was a child, and now that he has a little grandson who can see him every day, he has invested his regret of not being able to see Li Zhiyuan grow day by day to make up for it.

The grandson is also a grandson, not to mention the surname Li.

"So that's the case, alas, it's not easy for my sister-in-law, a woman, who has been husband and son for so long, has to go home and take on the responsibility of business." Xu Jingxian, who had known the truth for a long time, faked his feelings.

Li Fuzhen said unhappily: "What do you mean by this, what's wrong with women, aren't I too?" Isn't your wife too? Where are we worse than you? ”

"No, no, you are all women, don't let the eyebrows go." Xu Jingxian hurriedly admitted his mistake.

After the meal, several servants cleaned up, and Li Fuzhen went upstairs to feed the children, Xu Jingxian also wanted to follow, but was stopped by President Li.

"Uncle, if you have any advice, I will definitely listen to it." He sat down on the couch in a proper manner.

Lee Jae-yong has already burped.

Sooner or later, the property of the Li family will be Li Fuzhen's.

So he is not in a hurry now, and he doesn't have any sense of urgency, and he is even more respectful to President Leigh.

"I don't have any advice, I just don't want you to go with me." President Li glanced at him, and choked Xu Jingxian with a casual remark, and then said, "I heard that you are going to be promoted again recently." ”

"There is such a saying, but it is not certain whether it can go up or not." Xu Jingxian said modestly.

"It's too fast." President Li said, his fingers lightly tapping on the armrest of the sofa, "Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, how old are you this year?" I want to sit in a position that people may not be able to sit in at the age of forty, you are blocking the way of some school-age officials, maybe someone is calculating you behind your back, be careful, in fact, if you want me to say that you had better precipitate in your current position for a few years, and cultivate your own mentality, what are you anxious about? ”

"I will take my uncle's words to heart, and I will act steadily so as not to be caught." Xu Jingxian bowed his head slightly and said, if he has the opportunity to climb up, he doesn't want to stop, precipitation? In the future, there is an opportunity to precipitate.

Mu Xiuyu Lin Feng will destroy this kind of old generation often said that he can't agree with, sometimes the opportunity is fleeting, who knows what the situation will be in the future?

Today, the old men are willing to support him.

What if you turn your face tomorrow and don't want to?

What if Lee Qing-hee died in a car accident and didn't become the next president like in the original time and space?

Won't his investment be all in vain?

There are too many uncontrollable variables......

First grasp the power that can be grasped.

Even if something happens in the future, the more power you have, the more choices you can make.

The tree that can be broken by the wind, in his opinion, is that the tree itself is not hard enough and not thick enough, but he has been verified by many women, thick and hard!

He knows that there are many people who respect him, many people who fear him, and many people who hate him.

But as long as he stays strong.

Those ghosts will never dare to come out.

President Lee heard his thoughts, and shook his head helplessly, "You, you are too powerful, and you are undisguised, in the final analysis, you haven't planted a big heel, and if you plant it, you will find out how many people don't want you to get up again." ”

"Uncle is right, so I can only try to never get into trouble." Xu Jingxian smiled slightly, and then said: "And with your uncle, I believe that you should be able to do this, always up and not down." ”

Another year has passed, and Sanxin is stronger again.

Ever since Roh Moo-hyun came up with the so-called "participation of non-governmental people in government management", South Korea has not been a chaebol that follows the development of policies, but influences them.

So it's not just Sanxin.

Other chaebols are actually growing rapidly.

Of course, it does not include the Han Jin clique, which is ready to be used by Lu Wuxuan to prove to the people that he is fighting the chaebols.

In the original time and space, Han Jin Group, which was supposed to be one of the several Changhong chaebols, has now been almost eaten up by several other chaebols under the deliberate targeting of the Lu Wuxuan government, and Sanxin is the one who eats the most.

It has rapidly expanded from a medium-sized chaebol two or three years ago to a presence that can now squeeze into the top three in South Korea.

Backed by the big tree of Sanxin, as long as Sanxin does not fall in business, he will not fall in officialdom.

"Xiba, I don't bother to care if you live or die."

Chairman Lee scolded and scolded, and sometimes he felt that Xu Jingxian was like a parasite lying on their body.

slept with his daughter, didn't marry yet, let his daughter give birth to a child, and used Sanxin's background and resources to make profits in officialdom, and has been constantly sucking Sanxin's blood.

Of course, he hasn't done anything for Sanxin, for example, Sanxin's legal troubles almost never existed, and after Xu Jingxian became the chief prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor, no one could report it, and no one could sue Sanxin for all kinds of violations in business.

The two sides can no longer be called collusion, but symbiosis.

stayed at Li's house until noon, and after eating, Xu Jingxian said goodbye and left, and went to Xu Haoyu's law firm.

Xu Haoyu is a poor man.

and refused to accept Xu Jingxian's financial help.

So his law firm ended up in the remote Seongnam district, but because he has been committed to helping ordinary citizens fight lawsuits, protect their rights, and at a low price, and win many battles, he is now a well-known human rights lawyer in Seoul.

In the case that Xu Jingxian and Lu Wuxuan are now getting farther and farther away, there is almost no communication, but he has become a year-old friend and best friend of Lu Wuxuan and Wen Yingzai.

After all, Xu Jingxian is justice in disguise.

After a long time, it will eventually be seen through.

And Xu Haoyu is truly righteous.

When Xu Jingxian arrived at the law firm, he saw that it was overcrowded, and they were all waiting to find Xu Haoyu to fight a lawsuit.

"Prosecutor Xu, I'll tell Lawyer Xu."

Xu Haoyu's secretary said after seeing him.

"No need, I'll go to the lounge and sit down, and I'll talk about it when he's done." Xu Jingxian stopped the other party.

The secretary took him to the lounge for coffee.

Xu Jingxian sat in the lounge reading a book like this.

"It's been a long time."

It wasn't until Xu Haoyu's voice sounded that he came back to his senses and saw that the clock hanging on the wall was five o'clock.

"It's okay, time flies quickly after reading books and getting fascinated." Xu Jingxian got up and said lazily.

"I told you not to come during the day, or you'll have to wait." Xu Haoyu shook his head, then beckoned and said, "Let's go, let's go downstairs and talk while eating." ”

"Forget it, I'll have a treat tonight, let's improve my life, every time I come, I go to the barbecue restaurant downstairs to eat." Xu Jingxian, who has been accustomed to brocade clothes and jade food for many years, really can't stand all kinds of frozen meat and cheap meat.

"I think that's pretty good." Xu Haoyu shrugged, "You give money, you can go anywhere." ”

Xu Jingxian chose a high-end restaurant and chatted with Xu Haoyu, the only true friend, while eating.

The mood is extremely relaxed and happy.

Park Kook-yoon, who did not know that he also coveted the position of vice minister and was jealous of him, had already begun to act.

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