Section 432 The role of indigenous conservation associations
"No, he is innocent. At least I think he is innocent now." Ji Xin said, "This incident was widely spread among the indigenous people at that time. You know that I was the president of the Aboriginal Protection Association.
Several relatives of the Zhang family came to me to complain - so I also started to conduct some investigations."
Ma Jia listened to what he said silently.
"I think I still have some investigative skills. However, although this matter is too strange and weird, I have to say that I can't provide any evidence to accuse him of doing it. Logically speaking, it seems that he did this.
It’s not necessary.”
"Is there a file on this matter?"
"It must be in the national police's case files. Death investigations are required for abnormal deaths. If you want to see my investigation notes, you can only ask yourself to come to my office to read them."
"No need, I believe your conclusion."
"However, through this investigation, I discovered some intriguing things." Ji Xin said, "Our Lord Lu has great ambitions."
"The ambition of the swan?"
"Yes. I started talking about it a few years ago. At that time, he and I were participating in a grassroots research activity of the Ministry of Social Affairs. By the way, there was also a mission to take in indigenous orphans and poor children. At that time, he recommended sponsoring four children.
Study in Fangcaodi."
"Isn't that great?"
"That's right. It's really good." Ji Xin said, "Then he came to me and said that he wanted my help to recommend two more children to Fangcaodi. He would recommend them in my name and he would pay for them."
"Why didn't he come forward on his own?" Ma Jia asked, "Many people in the Senate have done this to help indigenous children go to school. The Senate has not banned it."
"He didn't say it. I think he didn't want to stand out too much," Ji Xin said. "I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Later, when I started investigating the Zhangjiazhuang incident, I found that there was a problem - he funded too many people.
At that time, there were more than ten people studying.”
"More than ten people?!"
"There are about eleven or twelve people." Ji Xin nodded, "So far, there are about more than twenty people studying and graduating."
Ma Jia's face changed a bit: recommending funding for indigenous children to go to school is a trend among the elders, similar to the "charity" of the rich in the old days. Although it also has a vague meaning of cultivating private individuals, few people will sponsor it.
So many indigenous students.
"This aroused a lot of interest in me, and I continued my private investigation and found more interesting things."
"After graduation and employment, these students still have close contact with Lu Xuan. They often go to Zhangjiazhuang to pay respects. They go to kowtow during every year and festival, and Lu Xuan often gives them financial assistance." Ji Xin said, "That's not all.
He probably adopted seven or eight indigenous children in his village and educated them himself - these people are not in the naturalized system and are his slaves."
"This is raising a soldier!" Ma Jia's jaw almost dropped. He had thought that Lu Xuan's sudden visit had ulterior motives, but he didn't expect that he had such a hand behind it!
"You know, from a legal point of view, what he did is not illegal. We never said that a senator cannot keep slaves. Besides, these slaves are kept in the name of his wife. As long as the taxes are paid on time, it is legal. As for
Funding students, many elders have similar things..."
"But they didn't establish a personal attachment relationship!" Ma Jia pointedly put forward the crux of the problem.
Ji Xin nodded and said: "This is the crux of the problem."
"Thank you for coming today." Ma Jia sighed.
"In my opinion, even if I don't come, you won't cooperate with him, right?" Ji Xin smiled, "After all, the Law Society is also conducting research on political reform, so why should you help him carry his sedan chair and pick fruits?"
Ma Jia smiled slightly and looked out the window and said leisurely: "Even if the Law Society has not started this project, it is too late to start it now." He was silent for a while and asked, "What's the reason for your sudden request to meet with me?"
"It's a coincidence. I happen to be related to this Elder Lu." Ji Xin said, "You know, I have an association for the protection of indigenous rights." He smiled bitterly, "This association, to be honest, is not very popular.
See, not only are the elders displeased, but even Du Wen, who preaches "labor is sacred" all day long, also criticizes me every day for "paralyzing the working people."" He let out a long breath, "However, because there is such a
There is an association, and some naturalized people and indigenous people are willing to come to me to talk to me when they encounter problems. A few days ago, the life secretary of a senator came to me and talked about something."
"Which elder, what's the matter?" Ma Jia was very interested.
"I won't tell you which elder. Anyway, it has nothing to do with him. The key is the life secretary. She reported the situation to me: She said that one of her classmates in the maid training class was severely abused by the elder. Happy.
I can’t go down anymore…”
"Is she Lu Xuan's personal secretary?"
"Yes."
The vest is a bit unbelievable: the elders have all kinds of personalities, and they are even more diverse in the way they treat women, but one thing is almost common, that is, the humanitarian and egalitarian spirit of the old time and space still has a strong inertia in them, and they treat women in a variety of ways.
The slaves in this time and space can be regarded as "gentle and kind". Although I have heard that some elders like the tone of SM, tying up the maid, dripping wax and spanking it, etc., but this is considered fun, no matter how you treat your maid
Look, love and care are generally still the mainstream. Deliberate abuse and wanton corporal punishment are unheard of.
"Maybe he just likes SM, or likes to be a master of osplay..."
Ji Xin shook his head: "I am a person in the 21st century. I still know clearly what SM is and what is corporal punishment. In short, it is not an exaggeration to say that she will be blamed if she moves in Zhangjiazhuang now. A few days ago, because
After being beaten, I was forced to kneel down and fainted."
He still didn't believe it when he saw the vest, so he took out a notebook from his pocket: "I went to Lingao General Hospital and the special needs clinic of Runshitang to check, and there was no relevant outpatient record. However, the sales at Runshitang
The record records that Lu Xuan's secretary purchased a Chinese patent medicine for reducing swelling and blood stasis many times. I specifically consulted Liu San, and Liu San said that this medicine was the original "stick sore medicine" of the Yamen soap class. He obtained it.
The recipe was later improved and handed over to Runshitang for production and sales.
"Judging from the quantity and frequency of her purchases, it is quite considerable. Liu San said that if it was really to treat injuries caused by whipping, then this person would have been beaten to death long ago. So..."
"So you think that more than one life secretary in Zhangjiazhuang has been subjected to corporal punishment and abuse, and this is a common phenomenon."
"Yes, corporal punishment of slaves in Zhangjiazhuang should not be a common phenomenon."
"But it's not illegal." Ma Jia said.
"Yes, it's not illegal. Unless someone's life is involved." Ji Xin said, "That's why I came to you to discuss this issue."
"Even if a human life is lost, the senators are not subject to any punishment according to the common program." Ma Jia said, "Besides, the Senate has not abolished the slave system, and it is still legal for indigenous people to keep slaves; even the Senate itself still has indentured servants.
According to the regulations, even the life secretary only recently issued a document canceling their status as slaves."
"Don't the Law Society consider abolition of the slave system?" Ji Xin said.
Ma Jia laughed: "You are right, but it has not been put on the agenda yet. Everything has to wait until we win Guangdong. As far as Hainan is concerned, at least we have made slavery uneconomical.
I think you also know very well that economic measures are sometimes much more effective than a simple official document. Rushing to announce a law that looks correct, but has general terms and no implementation details is actually the same as not having one at all."
"I understand this, there are so many things involved." Ji Xin said, "However, I think there should be proper intervention in the matter of Lu Xuan's life secretary. If something really happens, I'm afraid there will be another uproar. I think
Our current political ecology has become very abnormal, and there are people jumping up and down about everything in an attempt to muddy the water."
"I'm afraid it's difficult. It's politically incorrect to interfere in the private lives of senators," Ma Jia said, "unless a human life is involved."
Ji Xin's face showed a look of sadness and pity again. He did not delve further into this issue. Under the current system, they are indeed powerless. He asked:
"What about this proposal from Elder Lu?" Ji Xin shook his head and said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with this proposal."
"Of course there is a problem," Ma Jia stood up and left his seat, sat down next to Ji Xin, handed him another cigarette, and when he refused, he lit one, took a deep breath and said, "
I don’t think it’s that simple either.”
"Then you are still going to revise it for him? He wants the Law Society to endorse his proposal and increase its weight. Aren't you afraid that he will take the lead?"
"The purpose of this proposal is to standardize the functional powers of various administrative departments, which is in line with the rule of law advocated by our Law Society. As the policy advisory body of the Senate, it is understandable that the Grand Library will come up with such a proposal to provide suggestions to the Executive Committee.
Since he asked us to make revisions, of course the Law Society cannot refuse it outright. Otherwise, it will be unreasonable. I think it is enough to revise some of the administrative law concepts in it and leave the others unchanged. Naturally, the Law Society will not sign it.
, let the Great Library steal the limelight." He said with a smile, "No matter what they want to do, there will always be a day when they can't do it, and the fox will always show its tail."
After listening to Ma Jia's official statement, Ji Xin suddenly felt that the face of the man in front of him was a little blurry.
Ma Jia also seemed to notice Ji Xin's strangeness and patted him on the shoulder: "Our Law Society has always adhered to the concept of governing the country according to law and does not play tricks of climbing up the wall and pulling out the ladder." (To be continued...)
