0609 [Disciplinary Conference]
"Using Chief Superintendent Charlie to check and balance Du Yongxiao is definitely a clever move! The problem is that it is unknown whether Charlie can suppress Du Yongxiao, especially the recent scandal in the newspaper about Charlie accepting bribes continues to ferment, even if Lord Sir you rely on your connections to suppress it, I am afraid that it will also affect his future career. β
In Sir Bailiqu's office, the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Li Luo, stood behind Bailiqu and said slowly.
Bailiqu had his back to him, and was feeding the koi fish in the fish tank, pinching a handful and throwing it in.
The three koi fish shook their heads and waged their tails wildly.
"You talk so much, in fact, it can be summed up in only one sentence, I used my power to pressure you not to investigate Charlie's corruption, are you not happy?"
Li Luo's expression remained unchanged, "Since the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the biggest political basis is that no one can use any method to obstruct and obstruct the investigation of the ICAC, Sir Sir, you should know this. β
Bailiqu took the towel next to him and wiped his hands, and then turned to look at Li Luo.
Li Luo is neither humble nor arrogant: "Whether Charlie is corrupt or not needs to be investigated, please allow me to continue." β
"What if I say no?" Bailiqu's eyes showed a glimmer of essence, "In order to deal with Du Yongxiao, I have used a lot of hole cards, Charlie is the only trump card left in my hand, do you want to take it too?" β
"But -ββ"
"I know what you mean-ββ Bailiqu stopped Lilov from continuing, "in this case, give me some time, and when Charlie has no value, then you can do whatever you wantβit's just a matter of time, should you not even give this little face?" β
Lilov opened his mouth and said nothing.
"If you don't say it, I'll take it as a promise." Bailiqu said and walked behind the desk, "Now, we have to be unanimous with the outside world, our primary enemy is Du Yongxiao!" And now there's a good chance to pinch him to death! β
"You meanβ"
"That's right! He led the cadets of the Wong Chuk Hang Police Academy to hunt hundreds of wild boars without authorization, destroying the natural environment and affecting the ecological balance, which can be said to be an unforgivable crime! "Of course, these words were not said by me, but by the Environment Department, and all I have to do is to report the situation to the Hong Kong Governor's Office!" β
"So what do you want me to do? It seems that destroying the bad environment has nothing to do with our ICAC. β
"Of course there is, I wouldn't have called you if it didn't matter!" A sly smile appeared at the corner of Bailiqu's mouth, "I heard that Wilson, the director of the Environment Department, privately received a sum of money from Hong Kong tycoon Li Jiacheng and was ready to hand over a piece of land on Lantau Island to Cheung Kong to build a golf course, right?" β
After a little thought, Lilov understood, "Yes! What do you mean......"
"That's right, first suppress the investigation of him, and hand over his bribery information to me, I want to use these as bargaining chips to drive him to deal with Du Yongxiao! UNEP, it looks inconspicuous, and it is also a man-eating tiger when it is launched! β
β¦β¦
Governor's House.
Office.
On the desk is a British rice flag.
A bust of the Queen hangs on the wall.
Hong Kong Governor MacLehose sat majestically behind his desk and listened to the report of the Hong Kong government secretary.
"Just now, Sir Bailiqu called me and said that someone complained that President Du Yongxiao abused his power to hunt boars and damage the environment, and asked if our Hong Kong Governor's Office should follow up?"
The Hong Kong government secretary closed the report and looked politely at MacLehose.
MacLehose smiled: "Bailiqu is really an old fox, he knows what I want, so he will send it over!" That's right, I want to suppress Du Yongxiao. I thought that if he was transferred to Wong Chuk Keng, he could be quiet for a while, and when the limelight passed, he didn't have so much influence, so he would be transferred back again, but he didn't expect that he was not honest over there, and he actually commanded the police academy to hunt hundreds of pigs in one go, and even directly became the front page of the newspaper. β
The secretary of the Hong Kong government couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, this person is really a talent, no matter where he is, he will suddenly emerge, so dazzling and flashing." β
"There's nothing wrong with the young man's edge being too sharp, but what's wrong is that he even snatched my edge!" MacLehose stood up, walked around the desk, paced a few steps behind his back, and stopped in front of the private secretary: "Well, now put this report with my seal, you personally present it to the UNEP, and the other party asks me what I think, you just say a word, I am very angry, I fell the cup!" β
"Understood!" The secretary held his head up and swore an oath.
β¦β¦
Before the establishment of the Environment Department in 1953, Hong Kong's "Clear Water Yamen" did not know what it meant to protect the environment, let alone pollute the environment.
Everyone can't even eat enough, and it is normal for everyone to go up to the mountains to chop firewood and burn mountains to make arable land.
It wasn't until five or three years later that Hong Kong was linked to the rest of the world, and as more and more factories were built, steel mills, oil refineries, soap factories, fertilizer factories, and pharmaceutical factories were all heavily polluting industries, and the people living nearby were miserable.
Only then did the Hong Kong government realize that the situation was serious and that it could not destroy the surrounding environment for the sake of economic development, so the Environment Department came into being.
The first director of UNEP was a ghost named "Richard Horman".
Before this ghost came to Hong Kong, he was just a prodigal in London, England, relying on his ancestral virtue to buy an official position in London, but unfortunately there were many monks and few porridge in London, so he had to spend money to release him.
At that time, many people were not interested in the Environment Department, and felt that there was no oil and water to be fished from this clear water yamen.
The same is true of Homan, who feels cheated and only realizes that the Environment Department is actually a good department when he arrives in Hong Kong.
First of all, the first impression of the UNEP is that it is a "clear water yamen", and there is nothing corrupt about the people here. In fact, many factories and companies that want to establish and build in Hong Kong cannot avoid the procedures of the Environment Department.
Huo Man made a big fuss about this procedure, and really achieved the sentence "The eight-character yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money".
So much so that during his tenure, Homan made a lot of money in the Environment Agency.
As the successor of Homan and others, Wilson, a ghost guy who is also from London, England, is not so lucky.
Not long after he took office, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established, and before he could stretch out his palm to catch a few waters, the integrity was eyeing him.
In particular, Cheung Kong recently wanted to develop a golf course on Lantau Island, and needed a proposal from the Environment Department for the approval of the land use process.
On the side of Cheung Kong Industrial, Boss Li was very generous, and directly transferred 1 million Hong Kong dollars to Wilson's private account in a Swiss bank.
It stands to reason that even the ICAC could not find the Swiss account, but the Environment Agency found a mole, and a pile of information was directly transmitted to the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
When Wilson learned the news, he was almost frightened to death, waiting for the ICAC to give him an ultimatum, and he was thinking about whether to voluntarily surrender and strive for leniency, or to deny it to the death and refuse to admit it.
The Hong Kong government secretary only said one sentence to him, "Regarding the incident of the principal of the Wong Chuk Hang Police Academy, Du Yongxiao, who led the recruit police to hunt hundreds of mountain boars, he was deeply angry and threw his cup. β
Just when Wilson was scratching his head, the phone rang again, but it was Sir Bailiqu calling.
On the phone, Sir Bailiqu first asked Wilson about his recent work and asked about the situation, and finally said that the information he was worried about was in the hands of Bailiqu, and asked him to do it boldly and not have any worries.
What to do?
Wilson is not a fool, combined with the complaint letter that happened to be handed over by the Hong Kong government, he understands that he has to deal with one person, that is-Du Yongxiao!
For Du Yongxiao, Wilson is not very familiar with him, but this does not prevent Wilson from dealing with him, with the support of the Hong Kong government and Sir Bailiqu, plus his own handle in the hands of Sir Bailiqu, he can't do it even if he doesn't want to.

"Brother Xiao, it's just that the Environment Agency gave you a summons to explain!"
Zhuang Dingxian handed the "summons" he had just received to Du Yongxiao, who was sitting behind his desk.
Du Yongxiao was correcting the documents, and when he heard the words, he screwed on the cap of the pen, took the summons and took a look.
It is very simple to the effect that Du Yongxiao has abused his power to hunt animals, which has seriously violated the environmental protection law, and now the Hong Kong government and the Environment Department have asked him to explain the situation in person, and if he does not attend the explanation meeting at that time, the Hong Kong Police Force will be ordered to strictly enforce the law.
Seeing this, Du Yongxiao smiled.
"The Hong Kong Police Force? The police force is all me, Du Yongxiao, who dares to arrest me? β
Zhuang Dingxian smiled: "That's nature! So Brother Xiao, are you going to go this time? β
"Of course! Didn't you see that even the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion was alarmed, and the Hong Kong Governor MacLehose was waiting to see the excitement, if I didn't show up, I would show him an act? Isn't it boring to watch without drama? β
Zhuang Dingxian frowned, "This time it is clear that I want to beat you to kill you, and the Environment Department is going to use the Governor of Hong Kong to suppress you." β
"No, it's not that the Environment Department is pressuring me, it's the other way around, the Governor is using the Environment Department to put me in small shoes and leg cuffs!"
Du Yongxiao stood up as he spoke, picked up the summons and looked at it again, "This scene should be a little more intense, and it is best if the plot can be flipped and flipped again, then there will be taste!" β
β¦β¦
The next dayβ
The entire Hong Kong media knows that the Hong Kong Environment Department is going to hold a "disciplinary meeting" today.
In view of the fact that a few days ago, Du Yongxiao, the principal of the Wong Chuk Hang Police Academy, abused his power to lead dozens of student police officers to hunt hundreds of mountain boars in one go, and conducted disciplinary inquiries.
In this regard, public opinion in Hong Kong as a whole is polarized.
Those high-level intellectuals think that Du Yongxiao is wrong to do this, that the wild boar is also alive, that they existed in the land of Hong Kong earlier than the Hong Kong people, strictly speaking, they are the owners of this land, and that it is the Hong Kong people who continue to encroach on their territory, and that in order to survive, they will attack human beings this time and break into their homes.
These high-level intellectuals have the right to speak, and they can not only use the pen to explain their views on Du Yongxiao's hunt, but also influence public opinion.
The most famous of them is Ni Kuang, a well-known writer of Ming Pao.
He and Du Yongxiao have always been on the wrong path, to be precise, no matter what aspect he is, he can't get used to what Du Yongxiao does.
Therefore, after this hunting incident came out, Ni Kuang wrote an article in the editorial column of the third edition of "Ming Pao" for the first time: "Wild boars are not Indians, they have no right to speak; Du Yongxiao is not God, and he has no right to deprive him of life"!
The general meaning of the article is to compare the Hong Kong boar with the American Indians. Compare Du Yongxiao to the Americans of the year, killing and looting the Indians in order to seize the land.
I have to say that Ni Kuang's writing is excellent, especially this guy is good at writing science fiction, so much so that many of the editorials he writes are also "science fiction", and it is very science fiction to be able to connect the boar with the Indians this time.
Readers watched it with relish, and unconsciously connected Du Yongxiao with those American robbers.
If these high-level intellectuals in the literary world collectively resisted Du Yongxiao and thought that he had committed a mortal crime, then it would be a bit funny for those women's groups in Hong Kong to stand up against Du Yongxiao at this time.
To be precise, Du Yongxiao was once a well-known "friend of women".
In particular, the "abolition of the polygamy system of the Qing Dynasty" advocated by him back then can be said to have saved countless Hong Kong women, and he became the most powerful figure in the storm back then.
At that time, Du Yongxiao was touted to the sky by these women, but now he is starting to step on Du Yongxiao, what is the reason?
The reason is very simple, Du Yongxiao moved these women's groups cheese.
Since Du Yongxiao became famous, he began to formally care for women's health and spoke for women and children on many occasions.
Since then, the people of the Women's Federation have nothing to do, they are not as good as Du Yongxiao in terms of popularity, and they are even worse than Du Yongxiao in terms of ability, so that for a long time, these women's groups have nothing to do, either tickle or swatt flies.
Now they finally seize the opportunity to step on Du Yongxiao and take back the power that belongs to them, of course, they have to go all out to denounce Du Yongxiao's evil behavior of "hunting wild boars".
In the eyes of others, they are not a personal vendetta, but simply a "flood of the heart of the Virgin".
Under such a bombardment of public opinion, many Hong Kong citizens began to directly look at Du Yongxiao with colored glasses.
They have not been ravaged by boars, and their families have not been attacked by boars.
In their opinion, the mountain boar is an animal that can coexist with humans, Du Yongxiao kills wantonly like this, hunting hundreds of mountain boars in one go, his hands are covered with blood, and he is more butcher than a butcher!
In addition, Du Yongxiao originally had the nickname of "Bloody Hand Man Slaughter", so more people equated him with the butcher.
It can be said that at present, the entire public opinion in Hong Kong is overwhelming Du Yongxiao.
The only people who support Du Yongxiao are the few people who have been attacked by boars and their families have been damaged by boars.
Many of them are mountain dwellers or poor.
Their dwellings were shabby and simple, and some even lived in tin houses and dilapidated wooden huts.
In other words, if they all live in tall villas, with private butlers and personal bodyguards, how can they let the boars break in?
These people are in the minority.
They don't have much culture, so they can't pick up a pen to help Du Yongxiao avenge his grievances.
They don't have much energy, so they can't run around and help Du Yongxiao get his innocence.
All they could do was wait by the tape recorder, in front of the TV, and wait for Du Yongxiao's "punishment meeting" to begin.
