"... But the matter of Cai Lan destroying the documents is different. Only three or four people knew about it, and no one has the whole picture. You can only piece together that there is such a thing, and you don't know any other details.
Moreover, there was also the Wuzhou riot, which gave him a sufficient excuse to destroy key documents. As long as he insists that there is no such thing, no one can falsify it."
"No wonder, no wonder, this old man is so scheming." Chen Baibin said, "In the final analysis, we only know that Cai Lan destroyed the transfer letter. There may be other leaks that we don't know about. The nature of it is worse than what he did.
This female spy is much more serious! So Yi Haoran is still alive, but Cai Lan is dead."
"That's right." Ji Xin nodded. "Xie Yuanlao cut off his tail to survive. As long as it is not a principled mistake, there will always be a chance for him to turn around in the future."
"Wouldn't this mean letting him go..." Chen Baibin originally thought that Ji Xin would be somewhat disappointed, but his expression was very calm and showed no disappointment at all.
"Xiao Chen, when investigating cases involving elders, the truth is only one aspect..."
"What's more important is the interests of the Senate, right."
Ji Xin nodded: "That's right."
"But what if the truth conflicts with the interests of naturalized people and indigenous people..."
"Xiao Chen, are the interests of the Senate consistent with the interests of naturalized people and indigenous people?"
"This..." Chen Baibin was a little difficult to answer. This question seemed a bit mysterious. According to the Senate's public propaganda, the Senate and the people are one and have common interests. From a general perspective, it is correct.
But privately, the elders know very well that their interests are not the same - it can only be said that the goals are common.
"It's actually inconsistent."
"That's right." Ji Xing said in a heart-to-heart tone, "Actually, we all know that we and the indigenous people have different interests. The landlords are exploiting them, so aren't we exploiting them? Of course not, it's just that we bring
New technologies and new systems have improved productivity, so we have more surplus value to share with them. Let them live as individuals and live a better life than before - this is what we are doing in this world.
The greatest legitimacy of the existence of time and space.
"But you must have seen that there are many people in the Senate who regard naturalized people and indigenous people as 'tools', 'cannon fodder', or even 'a number on the human resources table', and this kind of thinking has gained a lot of support.
People's identity. As a senator and a ruler, perhaps it is understandable to think so. After all, people's joys and sorrows are not the same, and they cannot sit on the same bench. However, the contempt for naturalized people and indigenous people will form a new kind of
Class prejudice - this kind of prejudice has now emerged - once it takes shape, it will cause endless harm to our future society..."
He sighed deeply: "I never believed that the Senate would establish any thousand-year empire. However, as a member of the Senate, I hope that it can live longer and that it can still be peaceful when it reaches the end of the road.
Or transition to a new country with less bloodshed—rather than turning into a violent revolution because of our pride and prejudice..."
"Ji Ju, what you said is too...too..." Chen Baibin was a little nervous. Although the senators have full "freedom of speech", no one has ever said anything like this. Whenever it comes to the future of the country in the Senate
, although there are debates on many issues, almost all the elders have completely positive imaginations.
"Too sensational?" Ji Xin smiled and shook his head, "Not at all. Do you still think about what happened to Hao Yuan? It's strange! Yi Haoran's pseudonym is also named Hao! Hahaha."
This laughter made Chen Baibin's scalp tingle. This was indeed an inexplicable coincidence. He recalled that when Hao Yuan and Hale's report was delivered to the Senate for internal discussion, the fear revealed by the senators - it was unspoken.
Fear from the bottom of my heart... The Political Security Bureau, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau and the special reconnaissance team conducted an almost frantic search and suppression of Hao Yuan's remnants in Hangzhou and other places. Almost everyone who had contact with him, as long as they could be found, were
Was secretly captured or assassinated.
"The work I am doing now may be said to be safeguarding the interests of naturalized people and indigenous people, but in essence it is just delaying the arrival of a certain moment..."
"I understand what you mean. Protecting the rights of naturalized people and indigenous people means protecting the Senate itself..." He murmured, "Isn't this the same as protecting the earth and protecting human beings?"
Ji Xin nodded: "Does the earth need human protection? Not at all. Whether the earth is a lifeless desert or a lush paradise of life, it has no meaning to the earth itself, only to the existence of human beings."
"So, your work is really meaningful..." Chen Baibin said sincerely, "I support you! I will help you with more related things after I go back."
"I'm very satisfied if you can agree with my idea. It's not easy to actually do this work." Ji Xin said, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about work."
They have been in Wuzhou for more than ten days and have basically completed the investigation and interrogation work. The next step is to formulate a specific report. This is a text to be reported to the Senate. It must withstand criticism from all parties and at the same time implement Ji
Chen Baibin felt quite embarrassed about the idea of the letter.
"My idea is this," Chen Baibin said, "According to the information we currently have, the facts of the whole process of the Wuzhou riot are relatively clear. Currently, only Jiang Qiuchan, Song Ming and Chang Qingyun are the main people involved in the case. The whereabouts of others may be unknown.
Dead or brought to justice, almost all of them are caught in one sweep. So the report itself is not difficult to write, except for the situation about Xie Erren..."
As he said this, he looked at Ji Xin and wanted him to give his opinion.
Ji Xin nodded slightly and asked, "Which parts do you think are the most difficult?"
"One is his relationship with Cai Lan, and the other is Cai Lan's access to confidential documents. Both of these are big bombs..."
"Our investigation reports are not based on hearsay, everything must be based on facts." Ji Xin said, "As long as there is evidence, it will naturally be written down."
On the other hand, there is no need to write if there is no evidence. Chen Baibin thought to himself, isn't this the way to understand Erren? Although he felt that Ji Xin's plan was appropriate, it was arranged by Xie Erren. He
I felt a little unwilling again.
Perhaps sensing what he was thinking from his expression, Ji Xin said: "Don't think it's a trick to understand Erren. Xie Erren's lesson cannot be taken lightly, and he will have to stay silent for at least three to five years. It is also a lesson for now.
A warning for many veterans. Don’t feel too good about yourself and trample on the system at will.”
"I don't have any opinion about Mr. Xie. I'm just a little worried. Since the relationship between Cai Lan and Xie Erren has been recognized, it is not difficult to surmise that things like contacting confidential information and leaking secrets will be discussed at the hearing.
What should I do if I don’t let go?”
"This is Xie Erren's problem, not ours. We only speak based on the facts. No one can say otherwise. As for Xie Yuanlao, he will probably insist on his own rhetoric at the hearing. Anyway, as long as there is no evidence,
No one can do anything to him. Besides, if someone really wants to push him hard, the senators who advocate the supremacy of the rights of the senators will definitely jump out to help him. In addition, Wen and Ma are his direct and indirect superiors, and they are also his direct and indirect superiors.
They won't sit back and watch him get too embarrassed - after all, they have leadership responsibilities and will secretly provide help. As for other expatriate administrative elders, they will inevitably feel sad when they see Mr. Xie being targeted, so
Although his situation is dangerous, it is not fatal."
Chen Baibin rarely hears such straightforward analysis at work, because Xiong Ju's speech has always been very reserved, and there will never be any remarks that are inappropriate to put in public.
The two were discussing the writing of the report, and the orderly came in to report: Zheng Ergen is here.
Zheng Ergen came to deliver the conclusion report of the Sanhezui camp. Ji Xin and Chen Baibin briefly read it. Judging from the conclusion, it was basically that Liu Hope, Jiang Yougong and others worked together to engage in corruption in the camp, which intensified the conflicts.
Being used by Chang Qingyun. He specifically mentioned many details about how Liu Youyou and others bullied men and women in the camp and their lives were corrupted. After seeing him raping dozens of women, and forcing and beating hundreds of people to death, Ji
Xin couldn't help but look sad, and sighed: "It's because our management is not in place. It has harmed many innocent people."
"If this were not the case, how could a mere scholar from Chang Qingyun have caused such a big storm!" Chen Baibin said.
"Whose is the third seal? Has he said it?"
"No, I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything even if I resorted to means."
"It's really strange." Chen Baibin murmured, "Who deserves his protection like this? He doesn't look like a loyal person."
"Perhaps there is some evidence or family members in the other party's hands." Ji Xin said, "Have you checked his surrounding social relationships?"
"Liu Youyou is an orphan, a penniless poor boy in Lingao. He worked in agriculture for many years without getting ahead, and he was not promoted when he served in the Fubo Army, so he never got married," Zheng Ergen said.
"You go first." Chen Baibin said.
"What do you think of this report?" Ji Xin asked after Zheng Ergen left.
"Except for the fact that the third seal has not been found, everything else is quite reasonable." Chen Baibin said, "In fact, there are a lot of unfavorable testimonies against Xie Erren, such as the opera box that Liu Youyou wanted, and his suspicion of the entire three seals.
There is almost no control and supervision in the Hezui prison camp, and it is completely laissez-faire."
"So, if someone wants to make him look bad, these materials are enough." Ji Xin said, "They should be satisfied."
