Li Cuilian belongs to the kind of person with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, complaining that the five tiger generals did not protect Du Yongxiao well, but at noon, she made a table full of meals to entertain the five people.

Datouren and the others were full of wine and food, and began to discuss the current situation of the police force with Du Yongxiao.

Although everyone temporarily retreated and stopped demonstrating in accordance with Du Yongxiao's instructions, the Independent Commission Against Corruption pursued and fought fiercely, and all the root causes were not solved.

"Brother Xiao, you also know that many people used to follow Lei Luo and Yan Xiong, but now Brother Luo and them are running away, what these people are most afraid of is being liquidated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption!"

"Yes, the reason why everyone is still willing to listen to your orders now is that I hope you can come out and preside over the overall situation, at least to ensure the personal safety of the big guy!"

"The Independent Commission Against Corruption really doesn't treat us seriously, and if they continue to pursue us like this, the police force will have a second riot."

The five had different opinions.

Du Yongxiao picked up the teacup, took a sip and said: "I understand what you said, in fact, I have an idea in my heart, and it depends on whether the Hong Kong Governor and the ICAC can agree with it." ”

"Ah, it turns out that Brother Xiao has a plan!" Datouwen said happily, "We believe in you, as long as you are here, we will ensure that it will be fine!" ”

Among the five tiger generals, Datouwen, Bucktooth Ju and Fighting Cock Qiang have unclean buttocks, and they have not collected less black money before.

On the contrary, Zhuang Dingxian and Ren Darong are more "incorruptible", and for them, it doesn't matter whether the Independent Commission Against Corruption investigates them or not, so they are not so excited at the moment.

On the other hand, the three of them were very excited at the moment, and they felt that they saw the light.

After all, the Independent Commission Against Corruption has been chasing after their butts to check their accounts, and no one can bear it.

Just when Datou Wen just wanted to ask Du Yongxiao what the specific way could make the Hong Kong government and the ICAC let them go, the bell rang, but the phone rang at home.

Du Cannon picked his teeth and stepped forward to take the phone: "Hey, this is Du Mansion, who are you looking for?" Ah, what do you say, I can't understand English, is it good to speak Chinese? ”

The phone began to speak Chinese, Du Cannon was stunned when he heard it, turned his head and said to Du Yongxiao: "There is a ghost guy named He Hao who asked you to go and said that he wanted to meet you!" ”

"MacLehose?"

"Oh yes, it's MacLehose! Uh, why is the name somewhat familiar? Du Cannon muttered with his teeth picked.

Datouwen and the others looked stunned and looked at Du Yongxiao.

Du cannon poofed, toothpick spat flying, "MacLehose? Could it be that the ghost Governor? A look of surprise.

Li Cuilian came out with tea, and when she saw her husband's appearance, she couldn't help it: "What the hell, staring at such big eyes?" ”

"Hell indeed! The ghost MacLehose, the ghost Governor of Hong Kong, he just called in person and said that he wanted to see our family's filial piety! Du Cannon said loudly.

Li Cuilian pouted, "So what?" Our family Ah Xiao just came back today, just finished eating, he knows, and he will talk about it when he is free in the future. ”

Du Cannon rolled his eyes: "You asked the Governor of Hong Kong to wait for our son?" Then you might as well let him come over in person! ”

"Yes, yes, let him come in person! When you call, you say I'm making soup and invite him, a ghost, to drink soup! ”

Du Cannon doesn't know what to say, this girl is really big-hearted.

"Since he's looking for me, I'll go." Du Yongxiao got up and said.

"Yes, yes, hurry up!" Du Cannon urged, and said in his heart, fortunately, his own boy knows the general situation, the Hong Kong Governor is invited, what are you putting on a shelf?

"Brother Xiao, do you want us to accompany you?"

"No need, just let Ah Xian drive me!" Du Yongxiao wore a coat.

Zhuang Dingxian went outside to prepare the vehicle.

Datouwen They sent Du Yongxiao out.

Before Du Yongxiao got into the car, he said to them: "It's okay this time, I will take the opportunity to explain that proposal to the Hong Kong government, if it can be passed, you can go ashore safely in the future!" ”

When Datouwen heard this, he became excited, although he didn't know what advice Du Yongxiao wanted to give to the Hong Kong governor, but they believed that as long as Du Yongxiao was willing to help them, they would be able to sit back and relax in the future.

……

The British lion flag flutters in the wind in the square in front of the Governor's House.

A platoon of guards practiced on the side of the square.

Du Yongxiao is now a frequent visitor to the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion, and the guards guarding the door immediately raised their hands to salute when they saw him.

Du Yongxiao nodded in return and walked inside.

Those who can work in the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion are basically tough backstage, whether it is a confidential secretary, a personal bodyguard, a chauffeur, a coffee maid, or even a kitchen chef, all of them are related households.

These people have seen a lot of dignitaries and nobles on weekdays, and their eyes are a little arrogant, and they all have nostrils facing the sky.

Only in the face of Du Yongxiao, who walked in, they did not dare to show the slightest arrogance.

On the contrary, they bowed to Du Yongxiao one by one and were polite.

waited until Du Yongxiao left, and everyone whispered-

"Is that this young man? The legendary bloody hand slaughter, the killer demon king? ”

"That's right, it's him! I've heard that he pulls out his gun at the slightest disagreement! ”

"Yes, I've heard of him too, he's murderous!"

These people who work in the Hong Kong government usually don't have much work and like to gossip together, and Du Yongxiao happens to be the most legendary figure in Hong Kong during this time.

Just one bloody slaughter is enough for many people to gossip for a long time.

What's more, one sentence calms the entire Xiangjiang struggle, this kind of energy is incomparable to even the Hong Kong Governor.

"I didn't expect him to be so young and so beautiful!"

"I really don't know what he looked like when he killed someone?"

"A headshot! Bang! Sharp! ”

"Wow, that's scary!"

The maids trembled one by one after hearing this, and they were no longer nymphomaniac.

Du Yongxiao was led by the housekeeper to the office of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose.

The male secretary was already waiting at the door.

Without waiting for Du Yongxiao to speak, the male secretary stepped forward and said respectfully: "Superintendent Du, the Governor of Hong Kong has been waiting inside for a long time, please -——."

As he spoke, the male secretary made an inviting gesture and opened the office door.

Crunch, the door opens.

Du Yongxiao smiled at the male secretary, and then stepped in.

In the spacious and bright office, in addition to Hong Kong Governor MacLehose at this moment, there are four other people, who are Du Yongxiao's old opponent, the judicial boss Bailiqu. To Yongxiao's boss, Commissioner of Police Lawson. An old friend of Du Yongxiao, General William, commander of the British forces in Hong Kong in Hong Kong. and Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Lilov.

"Du, you're here, please take a seat!" When MacLehose saw Du Yongxiao coming in, he was very enthusiastic, and even stood up and invited Du Yongxiao to take a seat.

The three of Bailiqu did not move, but nodded politely to Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao greeted them, found a seat and sat down, and then looked at MacLehose: "I don't know why the adults are looking for me?" ”

MacLehose smiled: "First of all, thank you, yes, Du!" You have ensured the safety of Hong Kong! Secondly, as you know, I hope that Hong Kong will have long-term peace and stability in the future, rather than short-term stability. ”

At this time, Bailiqu smiled and said: "Then it depends on Superintendent Du, what good ideas you have!" Calming the wind and waves for a while is not a skill, and being able to clear the sky with one hand is a hero! The tone is secretly sneering, which means that you, Du Yongxiao, can only maintain temporary order and cannot guarantee the long-term stability of Hong Kong.

In fact, it is.

Clear-eyed people knew at a glance that those policemen retreated and stopped marching and demonstrating, all of which temporarily obeyed Du Yongxiao's orders.

As long as the ICAC continues to fight corruption aggressively, then the police force will break out again.

Du Yongxiao glanced at Bailiqu, then at Li Luo, and finally at his old friend, General William.

General William bit his cigar, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "We talked about this issue just now, and the Hong Kong government and the ICAC hope that the next time the police riot, I can send troops to suppress it." Of course, Du, I am friends with you, and I think such a major matter should be asked to you first, what do you think? ”

Du Yongxiao smiled, and at this time the servant came up with coffee.

Du Yongxiao nodded in gratitude.

After the servant left, Du Yongxiao spoke: "The police force is the cornerstone of Hong Kong's stability, and I have never seen anyone break the cornerstone of their own house. ”

MacLehose sighed helplessly: "We don't want to, but you also know that the situation is unbearable for us now!" ”

Bailiqu sneered: "I am very touched that Superintendent Du maintains this so-called cornerstone in this way, but even Director Rosen said that these cornerstones will soon be committed again!" ”

Du Yongxiao looked at Lawson.

Commissioner of Police Lawson spread his hands and smiled wryly: "I don't have a choice at all, do I?" ”

"It's not that you don't have a choice!" Du Yongxiao picked up the coffee and said in a firm tone.

"Oh, Superintendent Du, what do you have to do?" Rosenci said.

MacLehose and others also looked at Du Yongxiao.

In their view, there is no solution to the police force's anti-corruption campaign and the police riots, and only through strong suppression by the army can it be solved once and for all.

Du Yongxiao put down the coffee, raised his head and glanced at everyone: "It's very simple, amnesty order!" ”

"What, amnesty?"

MacLehose and the others were stunned.

……

In the last life, before the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Hong Kong's anti-corruption work had been carried out by the Hong Kong police, and the police themselves were extremely corrupt, which on the one hand made it difficult to investigate and deal with corruption cases, and on the other hand, the anti-corruption work increasingly lost the trust of the public.

There is no doubt that the anti-corruption power means huge rent-seeking benefits for the police department. The surrender of anti-corruption power has caused the police station to lose its interests and also lose the convenience of being corrupt as it pleases, so it has triggered a strong backlash from the police.

Since the famous "Godber case", the Independent Commission Against Corruption has been the main target of investigation and punishment for police corruption. By 1976, the two-year-old Independent Commission Against Corruption had unearthed nearly 20 corrupt syndicates within the Hong Kong Police Force, several senior superintendents had been arrested, and hundreds of police officers of all levels had been arrested or wanted by them.

Between September and October 1977, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) conducted a large-scale operation against the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, during which more than 260 police officers were arrested, including 22 senior police officers at the level of Superintendent or Chief Constable.

In fact, although some of the police officers are passive or occasionally accept bribes once or twice, the ICAC may also investigate and punish them, creating a panic situation in the Hong Kong police force.

In late October 1977, more than 10,000 police officers complained to the Commissioner of Police about their dissatisfaction with the Independent Commission Against Corruption, saying that if the government did not stop the incident, they would go on strike en masse. After the Commissioner of Police told the Governor, he was angrily scolded by the Governor.

On October 28, 1977, thousands of police officers marched to protest the "purge" of the police by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and nearly 100 policemen stormed the ICAC, destroying objects and injuring people. Other police officers echoed this, preparing to attack the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the British government again.

The development of the situation has become a dilemma before the Governor, testing the political wisdom of the British government.

If the police force is indulged and compromised with the force, the new Independent Commission Against Corruption will fall short, lose the trust of the people again, or even lose the support of the people completely, and the rule of law will inevitably regress.

If we support the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) to conduct a thorough investigation of the police force, it will cause fierce turmoil in the police force, and even lose the Royal Police Force in Hong Kong, and the maintenance of social order will become a primary issue, and social stability will be worrying.

After much deliberation, the British government made a compromise and issued an amnesty, which finally led to the successful resolution of the incident.

On 5 November 1977, the Governor instructed the Independent Commission Against Corruption to cease all corruption committed by the police before 1 January 1977, except in particularly serious cases or where an arrest warrant had been issued.

The amnesty, which freed the vast majority of the troubled police, was a successful divisive tactic, and many of those who had been determined not to be prosecuted began to withdraw from the conflict.

However, some police officers were not satisfied, and demanded full and unconditional amnesty, and even proposed the abolition of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

In view of this situation, if the Hong Kong government continues to hold back and retreat, it will lead to a resurgence of political passivity and serious corruption.

To this end, the Governor convened an emergency meeting of the Legislative Council, at which it took only 30 minutes to pass three amendments to the Policing Ordinance, which stipulate that any police officer who refuses to carry out an order will be immediately dismissed without the possibility of appeal. This action eventually quelled the police resistance.

So far, the collective corruption in the Hong Kong police has been completely destroyed, and the building of a clean and honest government in Hong Kong has gradually been put on the right track.

……

"That's right, it's an amnesty! Only when the Hong Kong government and the ICAC jointly issue this order can the police riots be completely quelled! ”

Du Yongxiao took out a cigarette and bit it at the corner of his mouth, and said calmly.

"The specific implementation method is -——"

Du Yongxiao did not hide it and recounted in detail the content of the amnesty decree issued by Hong Kong in the previous life.

At first, MacLehose and others were still disdainful, thinking that Du Yongxiao was bragging, and a mere amnesty order could do such a big thing?

But gradually, as Du Yongxiao told the entire content of the amnesty decree, and even asked for a complete amnesty in order to prevent some police officers from being insatiable, he directly told the matter of amending the "Police Regulations".

At this time, the expressions of MacLehose and the others directly changed from disdain to dumbfounded.

The reason is that Du Yongxiao's calculations are too accurate!

Almost plug the loopholes before and after, and what may happen!

By the time Du Yongxiao smoked half of his cigarette and finished the amnesty order, the expressions of the four people at the scene had not recovered from their horror.

Du Yongxiao flicked the cigarette ash, looked at the four of them, and said lightly: "I'm done!" I don't dare to say anything else, if the amnesty order is really issued, I believe that Hong Kong will soon be able to completely stop the chaos! ”

The four of them were silent.

The whole hall was eerily quiet, except for the sound of breathing.

Du Yongxiao continued: "-—— now"

The tone is arrogant.

"Are you for or against?"
