Kong Maojie thought about it seriously and felt that if things got to that point, it would probably be another big purge.
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as dead people. I have a hunch that the movement this time will not be smaller than the previous two rectification movements and court cleanings. With the chairman's temperament, if he knew that such a big thing happened, not only those If we do something wrong, we...I'm afraid we will have to bear some responsibility."
"Isn't this inevitable?"
Tian Guizi smiled bitterly and said: "We are in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. What does the Metropolitan Procuratorate do? Now that something like this happens, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be the first to bear the brunt."
"The main responsibility lies with me."
Kong Maojie said depressedly: "You have been in charge of the Yellow River Project in Kaifeng all year round. I am mainly responsible for the work in Zhongdu. Now I don't know these things. Obviously, someone has blindfolded my eyes and plugged my ears." It happened, but I didn’t know it.”
"It's no wonder. What you did is too sharp and your status is too high. If you didn't cover your eyes and ears, how could they dare to do these things? If you say that forming a circle is just to connect with old comrades. , it’s all right, but if this circle is used by them to exchange what they have, the problem will be big.”
Tian Guizi put his hands behind his back and walked slowly: "It's not that I haven't noticed something in these years, it's just that I didn't think about the problem so seriously, let alone that Qiao Feng could do such a thing, and under his There are people around him who have done more than him.
It seems that this is not the work of one person, but rather like an interest group acting for its own interests. When the Ming Dynasty was first founded, the chairman told me that there were Shandong clique, Yanyun clique, The four major factions, the foreign clan faction and the Yuancong faction, are in chaos.
After two major purges, we successfully disintegrated the chaos of the four major factions, together with the old bureaucracy and the old era. But now, I have discovered that the situation may not be as simple as we imagined. The supposed success is just the beginning of the next factional war.
The circle that Qiao Feng belongs to is not the Yuan Cong faction that included all our comrades back then. It is just a small group of people who followed the chairman north from the south of the Yangtze River. If we put it bluntly, they are really Yuan Cong faction in the true sense. From...including me.
From their perspective, it is obvious that they judge which circle a person belongs to based on their seniority. According to this division, it is indeed possible to divide everyone into a clear position, making it easier for them to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. "
Kong Maojie thought for a while and sneered.
"If they divide it according to their method, there will be many factions that can be divided. Yuan Cong who came from the south of the Yangtze River to the north can be counted as one. Then those who came after the Victory Army and before the Guangfu Army can be counted as another faction. After the Guangfu Army and before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they can be counted as one faction. , can be counted as one, and those after the founding of the Ming Dynasty can be counted as another.
One, two, three, four, or four, the Yuancong faction, the Shengjie Army faction, the Liberation Army faction, and the newcomer faction after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. How is it different from the previous Shandong faction, the Yanyun faction, and the foreign factions? "
Tian Qizi sneered.
"Of course there are differences. There is also a fifth faction. We are the ungrateful stones in the latrine that have been squeezed out. The stinky and hard stone faction. This is a good thing."
When Kong Maojie heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly.
"I don't think this is a good thing. If it's not good, it's a bloody storm..."
"It's good. Revolution is not about treating guests to dinner and drinking. Some people don't want to live a peaceful life and want to pursue things they shouldn't pursue. So don't blame us for doing things they don't want to see."
Tian Guizi took a deep breath, raised his hands, and slowly clenched them into fists: "They isolate me and exclude me, so what? I never thought about coming together with them. Revolutions will come and revolutions will come, and I will change myself." How can such a person be regarded as my comrade even though he has been punished and is still shameless and complacent?"
"The enemy, they are the enemy."
Kong Maojie nodded with emotion and said with a smile: "I heard the chairman say that when dealing with enemies, we must have the courage to fight instead of giving in step by step."
"Then let's fight. No matter who he was before, he will be my enemy from now on!"
Tian Guizi strengthened his belief, and together with Kong Maojie, kicked off the prelude to their war.
And in this initial moment of struggle, the first thing they need is to sort out their own internal affairs and find out the insider.
If people don't know, unless they do nothing, they firmly don't believe that the Metropolitan Procuratorate knows nothing about the entire incident.
If the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate was kept in the dark, then the political skills of Qiao Feng and others would be too strong.
There must be a mole.
Both the Imperial Staff Department and the Organization Department of the Renaissance Society have very real personnel power, but this power is definitely not unrestricted and unrestricted.
Not only the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which has supervisory responsibilities over the imperial staff, but also the Supervision Department of the Renaissance Society, which has direct supervisory responsibilities over the Organization Department, must also conduct a wave of internal investigations.
There must be insiders in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Supervision, otherwise these two lines of defense would not be able to respond completely to such an obvious exchange of interests.
Qiao Feng's arrogance and the anxiety of some people just proved that there must be collaborators in these two departments.
With Tian Guizi busy with the Yellow River project and Kong Maojie struggling to support himself alone, someone or some people in these two departments have completed the change in their identity and stance.
It is worth exploring when this transformation began, how it was achieved, and how the two parties cooperated to create an information cocoon for Kong Maojie.
There was still no response from Qiao Feng. No matter how Tian Guizi interrogated him, he did not give any further answers. He remained silent and looked gloomy.
Fan Jiang was arrested and imprisoned, and his whole family was also placed under house arrest. It was equivalent to a different kind of protection, but what he knew was really limited.
Qiao Feng didn't really trust Fan Jiang who came to him, even though he boasted about a lot of things to him, such as the fact that someone paid a lot of money to ask me to place his son in a key position.
However, these boasts are vague and have no specific direction. They cannot be used as evidence and cannot be investigated.
In the absence of a breakthrough, Tian Guizi, who was very depressed and didn't know what was going on, suddenly thought of a key point.
"I remember that Qiao Feng got married while working for the Su family. I even attended his wedding, and then he had a daughter. His daughter was several years old when we went north. After all these years, Is it time to get married?"
Kong Maojie, who was also feeling depressed, blinked and suddenly realized what Tian Guizi meant.
"You mean...his in-laws?"
Tian Guizi nodded.
"I'll go to the Document Office of the Civil Affairs Department to check his family's marital relationship. Maybe I can find out something."
