Chapter XXVII: Abolition of impeachment
The student movement in the police station has ceased under the intervention of the Central Guard.
But the waves caused by this incident have already been passed on to Parliament.
And at this moment, I saw that there was no more noise in this council, and the ground was also a mess, and some people blushed and scolded each other, if it weren't for the people watching from the side, I was afraid that there would have been a fight.
Stepping into it, Xiao Jingmao's expression was slightly cold, and he shouted in a low voice: "You are also a scholar, what kind of person is it to fight and quarrel here?"
The sound of the words resounded throughout the hall, and everyone stopped arguing, leaned over to look at their disheveled clothes, and felt even more ashamed, so they had to straighten their clothes, so as not to spread the news and embarrass people.
"Alas!"
Ling Fei walked out and said helplessly: "Wasn't it because of the student movement? If you hadn't come in time, I'm afraid that this place would have become a vegetable market." ”
The situation was too intense before, and although he tried his best to control the Kuomintang MPs, he also felt powerless.
Xiao Jingmao said in his heart, "That's really the case!", and asked again: "Student movement? He also knew something about the student movement that happened before the police station, and naturally understood that under this turmoil, Chang'an would be difficult to stop, but he didn't expect it to be transmitted to the parliament.
"Alas!"
Sighing again, Ling Fei explained with a look of annoyance.
"You also know that there is no wind and no waves, and the reason why Chongwen Academy did this kind of thing is only because of the murder case at the Chengxi Railway Station. And so far, we haven't found the person involved, Zhang Mao, otherwise why would these things have happened? It is also for this matter, so this fight will happen!"
"Oh, tell me, what's going on here?"
Sweeping the people in front of him, Xiao Jingmao was slightly nervous.
"Alas!"
The third sigh made Ling Fei's face sad: "Because of this matter, then Wang Xuan thinks that if it weren't for Wang Lu's dereliction of duty, how could this kind of thing happen?"
"Impeachment of Wang Lu? Then Wang Xuan, do you really plan to do this?"
Xiao Jingmao was stunned, feeling that the situation had developed more than he expected.
Ling Fei complained, "That's right!" Seeing Xiao Jingmao's worried face, he comforted: "Of course, I didn't agree. After all, these things were just accidents, and the matter has not yet been investigated, and those students used this as an excuse to besiege the police station, which was really rampant. Therefore, I think that those students should be dealt with first, so that these students know that the national law is ruthless. It's a pity that the guy disagreed, thinking that it was just an ordinary exercise and there was no need to put a beak. That's when we got into a fight!"
"Is that so?"
Xiao Jingmao was thoughtful, and Wang Xuan in the distance looked at him with a slightly provocative gaze, and he felt sick to his stomach.
Ling Fei closed his head and replied, "That's probably it!"
At this time, Wang Xuan also walked over, stopped three steps away from Xiao Jingmao, first bent down respectfully, and then complained: "Chairman Xiao, don't come to harm?"
"Ha! I get up early and go to bed early, I have stable meals, and I don't have any injuries. It's just Wang Xuan, can you please tell me what this impeachment matter is all about?" Xiao Jingmao replied.
Ling Fei on the side felt a little embarrassed, and also said goodbye to Xiao Jingmao, and left here.
"Humph!"
Wang Xuan's eyes glanced slightly, swept over Ling Fei's cold and hard face, spat out a disdainful voice from his mouth, and warned, "Chairman Xiao." As the chairman of the council, you should know what it means to uphold the righteousness of the people, but you can't trust one person and lead to treachery!"
Xiao Jingmao replied: "This is nature!"
He is not a strong person like Xiao Feng, although he has the intention to calm the turmoil, but he has no power in the council, and he can only mediate to maintain the balance between them.
"In that case, I wonder what you think about the police station students?"
Wang Xuan maintained his usual smile, and then his eyes darkened, revealing a little helplessness: "Alas. It's also that they are too strict, and suddenly hear that the policeman who once swore to protect him have now become murderers who oppress the people, and no one can accept it. Otherwise, how could such a thing be done?"
"Oh, listening to what Mr. Wang said, it seems that you have some opinions, why don't you tell me about it?" Xiao Jingmao asked.
"Chairman Xiao is also a good means, but he transferred the conversation to me, and he avoided talking about it, which is really a good method. Wang Xuan smiled and squeezed, Xiao Jingmao's face showed a little embarrassment, and Wang Xuan also said again: "Of course, since Chairman Xiao wants to listen, then I will say it." ”
"You're welcome, when those students were besieging the police station, I was actually resting in the restaurant next to me, so I was lucky enough to see the whole scene. At the beginning, those students just put forward their own demands, such as releasing Wang Xing and handing over Zhang Mao. That's not too much. While peeking at Xiao Jingmao's expression, Wang Xuan told the scene at that time.
"Not really!"
Zhang Mao nodded.
It's a pity that when the king road appeared, I didn't know what happened, which caused those students to become impulsive. After all, according to the investigation, Wang Lu and Zhang Mao were comrades-in-arms, and after this kind of thing happened to Zhang Mao, it is understandable that Wang Lu would do this kind of thing. Wang Xuan said earnestly, and the words were all like this.
Xiao Jingmao tightened his eyebrows and whispered: "But the fact that they besieged the police station is not trivial. To put it mildly, if it weren't for the existence of these mounted police, the entire peace and security might not have today. ”
"Okay. But no matter what, if Wang Lu is not handled properly, he can't escape. That's why I've drafted this bill to impeach Wang Lu. Wang Xuan nodded heavily, and was ready to drive this five-hundred-year-old Wang Lu out of the police station.
Xiao Jingmao was secretly surprised: "Drive away Wang Lu? If Wang Lu leaves, what about the Central Police Department? Don't forget, the current Chang'an City is not very peaceful." ”
Two tragic incidents occurred in a row, each of which was shocking and jaw-dropping.
These things were like the big stones that weighed a thousand pounds, and they were rashly thrown into Chang'an City, which was the size of a fish pond, and I don't know how many people were alarmed, and they began to wonder if the place where they were could maintain the same peaceful environment as usual.
"Hah, even so, but if Wang Lu continues to sit on that place, will you feel at ease?"
The fluttering words aroused the fear in Xiao Jingmao's heart, although he knew that the other party was just deliberately provoking, Xiao Jingmao also became a little angry, and began to blame Wang Lu.
If Wang Lu was able to quell the student movement in time, how could it have caused such a situation?
Wang Xuan smiled: "That's right, right? If you can prepare in time, why did this kind of thing happen?"
"Maybe. But even if you have the heart to push for this impeachment case, you still have to wait to see everyone's opinions, don't you?" Xiao Jingmao shook his head, and pointed to the surrounding parliamentarians.
These parliamentarians are either sad and angry, or indifferent, or lamenting, or silent, there are thousands of people, there are thousands of looks, Xiao Jingmao is also imagining in his heart: "If these people know how the lord intends to treat those students, what kind of looks will they have?"
The impeachment of Wang Lu is just a trivial matter, after all, if you change Wang Lu, Chang'an's security will not be better because of this.
But if these students are dealt with, then these high-sounding parliamentarians will really be afraid, after all, such a means is clearly intended to cut off the foundation of the other party.
Wang Xuan didn't know about it, and he was still immersed in the emotion of controlling the overall situation.
"After that, it depends on the outcome. ”
Bent down slightly at Xiao Jingmao, as a sign of his respect, Wang Xuan did his own seat, and it was Ling Fei who sat directly opposite.
As Wang Xuan's rival, Ling Fei naturally adhered to the attitude of refusal in this matter, and until now he has not let go of the anger in his heart, and has always stared at his opponent.
"Oh, look at you, you still seem to be dissatisfied?"
Wang Xuan believed that he had already won the game, so he waved his hand at Ling Fei.
Ling Fei said, "Maybe. But the results are not out, do you think this time it will be successful?"
"Oh, don't forget, more than half of the MPs belong to our Democratic Party, and this matter cannot fail. Wang Xuan smiled, still with smugness on his face.
Obviously, after the previous round of fighting, he believed that he had mastered the parliamentarians, so he intended to use this matter to be able to contain the government so that he could bring it under his control.
Ling Fei turned his head sideways, but he didn't want to look at the other party's disgusting face.
Wang Xuan continued: "And haven't you noticed the significance of this matter? If this matter can be successful, it means that from now on, those bureaucrats will not be able to act arbitrarily, and the so-called corrupt officials and corrupt officials will also be swept away. I hope you understand this. ”
His words also made the eyes of those parliamentarians light up, revealing a bit of greed.
In the past, they were just the mouthpieces of Xiao Feng's subordinates, at best they were just puppets, and by the way, they applauded and shouted at Xiao Feng's instructions, but under the leadership of Wang Xuan, they gradually began to exert their strength, instead of being unable to do anything as usual.
This naturally made these parliamentarians obsessed with it, thinking that they could influence the entire political situation.
The vote continues, which will determine whether the impeachment case will succeed.
When all the data was summarized, Xiao Jingmao also gave his own answer.
"The number of votes cast was five hundred and seventy-six, three hundred and eighty-seven in favor, fifty-eight abstentions, one hundred and thirty-one negative votes, and 67.1 percent of the votes in favor, more than 50 percent. ”
The clear voice sounded in the council hall, causing Wang Xuan's cheeks to begin to flush, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
At this moment, he felt as if he was standing on the top of a peak, and he felt like he was in control of everything.
At this moment, a person stepped in from outside the gate, but it was Zhang Wei.
Xiao Jingmao was a little surprised and asked, "Secretary Zhang, what are you doing here?"
"I have come here to convey the will of the Lord!"
"What will?"
"That is, repeal the impeachment case!"
As soon as the words fell, the court sat in shock, and Wang Xuan also stood up suddenly, muttering to himself: "This, how is it possible?"
