Chapter Seventy-Two: Bait

Wang Xiaotian immediately returned to the courtyard and told Zhou Ziheng the information he had collected.

Zhou Ziheng took a sip of tea and said approvingly: "Lin Shaotang is just like this, his knowledge is not as good as yours." And it's no wonder. He didn't know how terrifying Yin Haichuan was about the Shadowless Knife. If he knew, he would never have been so optimistic. ”

Wang Xiaotian thought for a while and asked, "Master, what evidence do you think Yin Haichuan will use to handle Commander Lin's case?"

Zhou Ziheng said: "Conviction with evidence was a matter for the judicial department at that time. The procuratorate has never relied on evidence in handling cases. ”

"The responsibility of the inspection institute is to prevent all people and things that may cause harm to the country. What it needs to do is to stop it in advance, not to liquidate or remedy it after the fact. Therefore, when the inspection court handles a case, it is enough to suspect it. ”

Wang Xiaotian shuddered suddenly.

He looked at Zhou Ziheng in disbelief and said, "Even if this suspicion is wrong, or even deliberately using suspicion as an excuse?"

Zhou Ziheng nodded lightly.

Wang Xiaotian was suddenly angry, "This is too terrible." What if someone takes the opportunity to declare a personal vendetta?"

Zhou Ziheng said: "There is discipline within the inspection institute. Those who have handled unjust, false and wrongly decided cases will be punished. If there is evidence that the handler deliberately retaliated for personal gain, the handler and the victim are equally guilty. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Wang Xiaotian and said slowly: "So I said, if you don't save Lin Shaotang, it's easy to deal with Yin Haichuan." Saving Lin Shaotang is equivalent to letting Yin Haichuan go. ”

Wang Xiaotian stared at the ground blankly, and said after a while: "People can't be resurrected after death." It's not worth it to bury a good person in order to kill a bad person. ”

Zhou Ziheng said: "That's just what you think is good and bad." ”

Wang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that Lin Shaotang is a person who has committed a great crime?"

Zhou Ziheng asked rhetorically, "Could it be that Yin Haichuan is extremely evil?"

Wang Xiaotian was suddenly out of words.

Zhou Ziheng said: "Although Yin Haichuan is ruthless and treacherous, and his methods are ruthless, is he a bad person? The internal supervision of the inspection institute is not much worse than that of handling cases externally. He has handled so many cases, if they were all unjust, false and wrongful cases, he would be a cat with nine lives, and he would have died a long time ago. ”

Zhou Ziheng glanced at Wang Xiaotian, who was at a loss, and continued: "Besides, Lin Shaotang must be a good person? Judging from the information I got, this may not be the case. Over the years, he has been in charge of the northwest and has done a lot, which cannot be regarded as 'done by good people'. ”

"Conniving at military smuggling, accommodating bandits, suppressing disobedient merchants, supporting the husband's family's property, overtaxing, and so on. He's done a lot of that. However, compared to other warlords, his appearance is not too ugly. ”

Wang Xiaotian looked at Zhou Ziheng in disbelief.

Zhou Ziheng smiled faintly and said, "Do you feel that your entire worldview has collapsed? Right and wrong, there has never been an absolute standard." As long as you think it's right, it's right. ”

"The first tenet of practice is to firmly believe that your choice is always the right one. If you can't even do this, how can you reach the top of martial arts?"

He paused and continued: "Although the inspection court does not rely on evidence to handle the case, after all, the evidence is used to block the mouths of the people, of course, the more fully the better. Especially Lin Shaotang, he has an extraordinary relationship with Xue Shuai. ”

"If there is sufficient evidence, this case will be handled as an iron case, and Xue Shuai will be able to explain it in the future. Therefore, Yin Haichuan must need one, ironclad evidence that Lin Shaotang collaborated with the enemy and treason. ”

Zhou Ziheng looked at Wang Xiaotian after speaking, "What do you say?"

Wang Xiaotian understood what Zhou Ziheng meant. What other evidence can be more than Ye Annie's adopted son to confirm Lin Shaotang's crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason?

He nodded slightly.

Zhou Ziheng said gently: "Go ahead." Do whatever you have to do, go where you have to go. In order to be real enough, there is no way to arrange for someone to protect you. It's all up to you. Be careful. ”

Wang Xiaotian bowed deeply to Zhou Ziheng and turned his head to leave.

Zhou Ziheng suddenly said, "Wait." ”

Wang Xiaotian turned around and looked at Zhou Ziheng blankly.

Zhou Ziheng sighed secretly and said, "It's too late for you to change your mind now." ”

Wang Xiaotian was silent for a moment, and shook his head firmly, "No matter what purpose he took me in back then, he always showed me a kindness. Gotta pay it back. ”

Even though Zhou Ziheng's heart is as strong as iron, the sentence "I have to pay it back" made him couldn't help but be moved. He suppressed the ripples in his heart, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, "Go ahead." ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded, turned around, and strode away.

As soon as he left with his front foot, Shen Shuming came in with his back foot. As soon as he entered the door, he laid down a soundproof barrier, and jumped at Zhou Ziheng like thunder: "How can you be like this! You know that Xiaotian is a child who values love and righteousness, and you deliberately tell him that these bullshit things are going to be bait, isn't this forcing him to death?"

Zhou Ziheng also changed his past gentleness and elegance, and shouted: "I don't need you to teach me to do things! He is no longer a three-year-old child, and he knows how to choose!"

The two of them were like fighting cocks, blushing and staring at each other for a moment. Zhou Ziheng first turned his gaze away, sat down slowly, and said, "Everyone has the right to choose, and everyone must also be responsible for their own choices. ”

"What's more, cultivation itself must be strong-willed, twist and turn, and not change the original intention. Since he thinks it's a favor and has to pay it back, he must be allowed to pay it back. Otherwise, it will leave him with a knot. ”

Shen Shuming's anger also subsided a little, and said, "Really don't arrange for someone to protect him secretly?"

Zhou Ziheng said: "Yin Haichuan is very cunning. If he finds an anomaly, he will definitely terminate the operation. That would be a wasted effort. So, we only have one chance. ”

Shen Shuming said puzzledly: "Why do you have to deal with Yin Haichuan? You must know where the dean is." You can go to the dean and ask him to write you a letter of recommendation. With his letter of recommendation, the council dares not to appoint it?"

Zhou Ziheng shook his head and said, "The appointment of the parliament is just a procedure. Even if you do it according to your method, the council appoints me, Yin Haichuan and Dai Xuquan, can they be convinced? Will they put aside their contradictions, act in embarrassment, and join forces to overthrow me?"

"The director of the Inspectorate, although he is incredibly powerful, has a crater under his buttocks. If you can't hold it back, you'll be burned to ashes. ”

"When Dean Li was appointed as the dean, many people were not convinced. After President Li took office, he either stayed at home in the small building, reading, drinking tea, chatting, or went out to inspect. And so it went on for three whole years. Those people have been plotting in tandem for three years, ready to overthrow Dean Li in one fell swoop. ”

"If it weren't for Dean Li's preemptive strike and the bloody night purge, then it would be someone else sitting on the dean's throne. At that time, Yin Haichuan and Dai Xuquan were only small directors, but their performance at that time was extremely good, so they entered the eyes of the dean, and step by step, they were promoted to right-hand men. ”

"Later, I asked Dean Li, since he had already noticed the intentions of those people, why didn't he take gentle measures to divide, co-opt, and subdue them for his use?"

"Dean Li told me that if you win over and support your subordinates with low ranks, such as division chiefs and section chiefs, they will be grateful and loyal to you. But those people are all in positions close enough to the dean's seat, and they are all ambitious and powerful. ”

"Even if he can make the means, make them submit. It is impossible for him and them to be of the same mind, and they will certainly be suspicious of each other. In this way, the inspection institute will be caught in a long-term infighting, and the harm will be even greater. It is better to make a decision immediately, uproot them, and leave the position and opportunity to the capable newcomer. ”

"However, even if Dean Li wants to uproot them, he must be famous. That's why he deliberately connived at those people, colluded with them, and plotted chaos. Then take the opportunity to catch them all. And now, what we lack is such an opportunity. ”

Shen Shuming said: "Even if you can clean up Yin Haichuan smoothly this time, there is still a Dai Xuquan." ”

Zhou Ziheng said: "Dai Xuquan is just a bluffing raccoon cat. It looks like the coat is colorful and very deterrent, similar to a tiger, but in fact, it is very strong and inward, so there is no need to be afraid. ”

"Yin Haichuan is different. He is a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows, and he doesn't attract attention when he sees it, but if he bites it, he will be greatly injured if he doesn't die. ”

As long as Yin Haichuan is cleaned up, Dai Xuquan will never dare to act rashly. So, don't move him for now. When I take over as dean and stabilize the situation, it's not too late to clean him up. ”

Li Zhaolin heard the bell for getting off work, and quickly packed up the documents in his hand and locked them in the safe. Then he whistled, changed into civilian clothes, and in front of the full-length mirror, carefully combed his hair. It wasn't until he felt impeccable that he pushed the door out.

An hour ago, Sister Wang came over and told him that Yue Siyao was very willing to come to work with him, even if it was a miscellaneous worker. And, in order to show her gratitude, Yue Siyao invited him to dinner.

Li Zhaolin pretended to excuse himself and reluctantly agreed.

Now, he's going to go to the American appointment.

Li Zhaolin packed up, left the inspection institute, and went to the dinner venue, Zhiweixuan.

If you walk from the inspection office to Zhiweixuan, you need to walk through the busy and lively Furong Street, which takes at least 40 minutes.

It only takes twenty minutes to walk through the small and secluded alley outside of Furong Street.

Lee Siu-lun decided to take the path.

This small alley, although it is only separated from Furong Street by one square, is not treated because it is next to a stinky ditch, garbage is everywhere, and the environment is bad. The rich families have all moved away, and those who continue to live here are either poor families, or they are called Hanako and homeless people. So the houses are dilapidated, the inhabitants are scarce, and the people are quiet.

The alley is only two meters wide and is flanked by high walls. Li Zhaolin leaned against the root of the wall and walked forward in the shadow of the high wall.

He has a glow protector that keeps out the smell. However, it is early autumn at this time, the autumn tiger is very fierce, although it is already evening, but the sun is still blazing, the air is a little hot and dry, the autumn cicadas "know it" non-stop, especially irritating.

Li Zhaolin suddenly woke up.

For a cultivator of his level, he has long been immune to cold and heat, and his heart is calm, and he will never be irritated by the sound of cicadas.

There must be something wrong with the cries of the autumn cicadas!

Li Zhaolin immediately put the gun in his left hand. The short sword in the cuff of his right hand also slipped into the palm of his hand, and he could stab a fatal sword at any time.

"It was discovered. In front of Li Zhaolin, in the shadows of less than ten meters, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

Li Zhaolin's pupils shrank sharply, staring at the pitch black. Although he had sensed that something was wrong, he didn't expect that the other party was hiding in the shadows, and it was less than ten meters in front of him!

If he had just walked over without noticing, he would definitely be dealt a fatal blow by the other party.

He had already sensed that the other party's level was not weaker than him, but he had only used a secret method to mask the fluctuations of the Force, making it impossible for people to perceive it immediately for a while. What are the consequences of being attacked by such an enemy...... Li Zhaolin was secretly afraid in his heart.

Under Li Zhaolin's gaze, the pitch black, like a wriggling clump of soft mud monsters, approached Li Zhaolin little by little.

Li Zhaolin immediately raised his gun, aimed at the pitch black, and shouted, "Who are you? Stop there, or I'll shoot." ”

The darkness stopped, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to talk to you about business." ”

"Business? ”

The hoarse voice said, "You are Dai Xuquan's cronies." There is a big man who is very interested in Dai Xuquan's recent movements. If you can provide us with Dai Xuquan's movements, that big man will be grateful. ”

Li Zhaolin sneered: "Did Vice President Yin Haichuan send you here?" Vice President Dai's movements are only of the most interest to him. ”
