"... 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 solution is really 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 is trying to survive by cutting off his tail. As long as it is not a principled mistake, there will always be a chance for him to turn around in the future."
"Doesn't this mean that we should let him go..." Chen Baibin originally thought that Ji Xin would be somewhat disappointed, but his expression was very calm and there was no hint of 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 hard to answer. This question sounds a bit mysterious. According to the Senate's public propaganda, the Senate and the people are one and have common interests. That's true from a general perspective.
But privately, the senators knew it. 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 We have adopted new technologies and new systems and 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 recognition. 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 a 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 elders had full "freedom of speech", no one had ever said anything like this. When it comes to the future of the Senate country, although there are debates on many issues, almost all senators 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 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 expressed by the senators - the unspoken fear from the bottom of their hearts... The Political Security Bureau, the Foreign Intelligence Service and the Special Investigation Team An almost frantic search and suppression of Hao Yuan's remnants was carried out in Hangzhou and other places. Almost everyone who had contact with him who could be found was secretly arrested 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 when 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 had been in Wuzhou for more than ten days and had basically completed the investigation and interrogation work. The next step was 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 Xin's ideas. Chen Baibin felt quite embarrassed.
"This is what I think," 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 the others may be unknown. Dead or brought to justice, almost everyone is caught in one fell swoop. 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, if there is no evidence, there is no need to write it. Chen Baibin thought to himself, isn't this the way to understand Erren? Although he felt that Ji Xin's plan was very appropriate, he felt a little unwilling to be arranged by Xie Erren.
Ji Xin, probably sensing what he was thinking from his expression, said: "Don't think you are falling into Xie Erren's trick. Xie Erren's lesson cannot be taken lightly, and he will have to be 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 anything against Mr. Xie Yuan. I'm just a little worried. Since the relationship between Cai Lan and Xie Erren has been recognized, it's not difficult to deduce things like access to confidential information and leaking secrets. Someone will focus on this issue at the hearing. What should I do if I don’t let go?”
"This is Xie Erren's problem, not ours. We only speak according to 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 pushes 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 veterans, they will inevitably feel sad when they see Mr. Xie being attacked, 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 is here to deliver the conclusion report of the Sanhezui camp. Ji Xin and Chen Baibin briefly browsed through it. Judging from the conclusion, it is basically that Liu Youyou, Jiang Yougong and others worked together to engage in corruption in the camp, which intensified the conflicts and was eventually exploited by Chang Qingyun. In particular, he mentioned many details about how Liu Youyou and others bullied men and women in the camp and their lives were corrupted. When he saw that he had raped dozens of prostitutes and beat hundreds of them to death, Ji Xin couldn't help but look sad and sighed: "Our management was not in place. Many innocent people were harmed."
"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? Did he say it?"
"No, I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything even if I resorted to tricks."
"It's really weird." Chen Baibin murmured, "Who deserves his protection like this? He doesn't look like a loyal person."
"Perhaps there is something wrong with him or his family is in the other party's hands." Ji Xin said, "Have you checked his social connections around him?"
"Liu Youyou is an orphan. He was a penniless poor boy in Lingao. He worked in agriculture for many years without getting ahead. 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 Youyang wanted, and his suspicion of the entire three seals. There was almost no control or supervision in the Hezui prison camp, and it was completely laissez-faire.”
"So, if someone wants to make him look bad, these materials are enough." Ji Xin said, "They should be satisfied."
