Peninsula Prosecutor

March 1, 2003.

In the morning, the weather was sunny.

Xu Jingxian today is different from before.

Because he is no longer a ministerial prosecutor.

He will officially take office as the prosecutor general of the Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office.

He is just 29 years old this year, and he is still one year away from the age of thirty as recognized by ordinary people. He is the only prosecutor general in the country who is so young.

This shows how powerful the president’s privileges are.

I'm going to work. After breakfast, Xu Jingxian put down the bowls and chopsticks, rinsed and wiped his mouth, got up, pecked his wife, son and nephew on the face and walked out.

Wait. Lin Miaoxi called him, then stood up and straightened his tie in his doubtful eyes, and smiled sweetly, Okay.

Xu Jingxian smiled slightly, turned and left.

When he walked out of the door, the car was still the same car, but the person standing beside the car waiting for him was no longer Zhao Dahai.

He was a young man in his mid-twenties, with a medium build, half a head shorter than him, with three-quarter hair, fair skin, and straight and soft facial features.

His name is Pu Zhizhi, and he is the full-time driver personally selected by Zhao Dahai for Xu Jingxian after he became the secretary.

After all, as the prosecutor general's secretary, Zhao Dahai will take on more work in the future, and his status will also be improved, so he is not suitable to continue working as a driver.

Prosecutor General! Pu Zhizhi stood up straight and bowed at 90 degrees. Then he quickly stepped forward and took the briefcase from Xu Jingxian's hand with both hands. He turned around and ran to the car and opened the door. Sir, please get in the car.

Seeing his serious and meticulous look, Xu Jingxian smiled, stepped forward and patted his shoulder, then bent down and got into the car.

Park Ji-hye closed the door as quietly as possible, then sat in the driver's seat with his briefcase, put the bag on the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt, and started the vehicle.

On the first day I drove Xu Jingxian, he acted very nervous, his body was very straight, and the car was very stable.

Wisdom, tell me how you met Dahai. Xu Jingxian leaned back comfortably, crossed his legs, and folded his hands on his thighs.

If he wasn't a reliable person, Zhao Dahai would definitely not dare to arrange to drive for him.

Yes. Pu Zhizhi responded first, and then started to organize his words, Brother Dahai and I have been neighbors for many years. He has always taken good care of me and knows that I have always admired you. And I just recently resigned and stayed at home. Let me be your driver.

Zhao Dahai succeeded on his own, so he began to support people around him, and Xu Jingxian did not object to this.

As long as he doesn't want to pack in all the stray dogs near his house and set him up as a police dog.

Oh, neighbor, it seems that you not only admire me, but also admire the sea. Xu Jingxian said calmly with a faint smile on his face.

Park Ji-hye nodded, Yes, Brother Dahai is a few years older than me. He protected me when I was bullied when I was a child. Moreover, he can work in government departments or work as a substantive officer for you, so it has always been ours. A role model for my peers on that street.”

He looked slightly excited when he talked about this. It was obvious that Zhao Dahai was the most handsome boy on their street.

Oh, is that right? It seems like you have a really good relationship. I hope you won't tell that guy Dahai some embarrassing things about me in the future, otherwise he will laugh at me again if he has the chance. Xu Jingxian joked.

Park Zhizhi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. It seemed that Brother Dahai was not telling lies. Prosecutor Xu had a really good relationship with him. He was about to say something but suddenly reacted and broke into a cold sweat behind his back.

His originally relaxed body became tense again. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and said, Please rest assured, adults, friendship is friendship and work is work. I will never say a word that I shouldn't say!

He remembered something that Brother Dahai told him a few days ago. Prosecutor Xu is a very sensitive and suspicious person. If he wants to develop well under him, he must ensure his absolute obedience and absolute loyalty.

Okay, okay, don't be so nervous, relax a little. Seeing how nervous you are when driving, will I dare to ride in your car in the future? Xu Jingxian smiled.

Yes, yes. Park Ji-hye agreed repeatedly while deliberately relaxing her body, but because of her deliberateness, she appeared even more nervous, which looked really awkward.

Xu Jingxian laughed dumbly. Young people are still too young. They can only rely on time and experience to educate them.

But there is an advantage to using this kind of person.

Unlike those old oilmen who are so obsessed with things, what the future will look like depends on how you guide it.

Likewise as a young person.

Xu Jingxian likes to use young people.

This is not a lie. If you don’t believe it, look at the women he communicated with in depth. Which of them is not a young man?

His car soon arrived at the Seoul District Inspection Bureau.

All the prosecutors are waiting at the gate.

The leaders were three deputy chiefs, the youngest was forty years old, and the elder had gray hair on his temples.

As Xu Jingxian's car drove into the gate, all the prosecutors involuntarily puffed up their chests.

When his car stopped, the eldest deputy commander standing on the left, who was estimated to be over fifty years old, immediately stepped forward and bent down to open the back seat door.

My Lord Prosecutor, please get out of the car.

Secretary Zheng, why are you doing this? You are my senior! After Xu Jingxian got out of the car, he quickly held his hand and helped him up, with a pleasant look on his face.

Deputy Chief Zheng stood up straight and said: Today is the first day that the Prosecutor General takes office. There is a distinction between superiority and inferiority. This is how it should be. Please speak to everyone.

In fact, his mood is also very complicated.

The other person is not even a few years older than his son.

Even at his age, he had to bow down to him.

Xu Jingxian nodded slightly and walked towards the crowd.

Deputy Chief Zheng followed him step by step.

Park Ji-hye walked at the back carrying a briefcase.

Welcome to the Chief Prosecutor!

With the other two deputy chiefs taking the lead.

All the prosecutors in black suits bowed at 90 degrees and shouted loudly. Behind Xu Jingxian, Deputy Chief Zheng and Park Hye-hyun also bent down.

In the empty square, hundreds of high-ranking prosecutors, ministers, section chiefs, and deputy chiefs all kept bowing. Xu Jingxian was the only one who stood upright, like a peak that others looked up to.

Looking around, he could see all the mountains and the backs of everyone's heads and backs. Xu Jingxian could not help but feel excited and speechless for a long time.

This state lasted for about three to five seconds.

Then he said: Everyone, please stand up.

Only then did everyone dare to stand up straight and raise their heads.

Thank you. Xu Jingxian stepped forward to shake hands with the other two deputy ministers, and then shook hands with the ministers and section chiefs of each department one by one. He would chat a few words with each person he came to to show his intimacy.

After shaking hands with the leaders of various departments, he returned to his original position and looked at everyone and said: Thank you everyone for today's welcome ceremony. Thanks to your strong support and the trust of the President, I have the honor to take on the responsibility of leading the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office. Responsibility……

After delivering a high-sounding and impassioned speech, Xu Jingxian bowed slightly to everyone and said, Thank you everyone, let's go to work.

Everyone bowed in return and dispersed in an orderly manner.

After everyone left, Zhao Dahai stepped forward to get the briefcase in Park Ji-hye's hand, Give it to me.

Park Ji-hye handed him the briefcase with both hands.

Prosecutor General, your office has been tidied up. Zhao Dahai looked at Xu Jingxian again and said.

Xu Jingxian nodded and walked towards the office building. Zhao Dahai followed closely behind him without much communication with Pu Zhihui.

Park Ji-hye watched the two of them go away, then got into the car and drove away, preparing to wash the car to make sure that Xu Jingxian's car was clean at all times.

Prosecutor, what do you think of wisdom? If it's not suitable, I'll replace you. Seeing that the elevator had begun to rise, Zhao Dahai broke the silence.

Ding~

At this time, the elevator arrived. Xu Jingxian walked out of the elevator and walked to the office and said, Let's try it first. If it doesn't suit me, I'll tell you.

Zhao Dahai nodded slightly to show that he heard.

After entering the office, Zhao Dahai put his briefcase on the desk, made him a cup of coffee, stood in front of the desk and said, Prosecutor General, I'm going to work first. If you need anything, you can call me anytime.

After saying that, he bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Listen to the slight sound of the door closing.

Xu Jingxian looked around and smiled at the clean, spacious and bright office. He touched the solid wood desk in front of him and the smile on his face became even brighter.

He had just traveled through time three years ago, and when he first walked into this office, the prosecutor-general was still Han Taican.

Now this table has welcomed its new owner after passing through Han Taican, Jin Shixun, and Lin Zhongcheng.

And the first three owners had varying results.

Han Tae-chan was implicated in Park An-ryong's case and retired early. He achieved his goal in last year's parliamentary election and was successfully elected as a member of parliament.

Jin Shixun, the old leader who once supported Xu Jingxian, but in the end turned against him due to some strange combination of circumstances, is now a withered bone in the grave and lies buried underground.

Lin Zhongcheng, the king who survived until the end, was assigned to serve in Busan under his calculations.

What will be the outcome of my future?

Dingling bell~Dingling bell~

His thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of the phone.

Looking around, it's the office phone on the desk.

He grabbed the receiver and said, I'm Xu Jingxian.

Prosecutor Xu, the President is looking for you, please come to the Blue House as soon as possible. Kim Soo-kyung's voice came out.

As president, Lu Wuxuan had many secretaries.

For example, General Affairs Secretary Cui Shudao, Civil Affairs Secretary Wen Yingzai, Civil Society Secretary... and so on.

Each of these secretaries is responsible for a stall, helping Lu Wuxuan handle all aspects of official affairs. Only Jin Zhuqing has no power in this area. He looks more like a handyman for Lu Wuxuan, but he is the closest to him.

Therefore, compared to other secretaries, Jin Zhuqing, the secretary who seems to be a soy sauce, is more valued.

Xu Jingxian responded: Okay Jin Mi.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately called Park Zhizhi and asked him to prepare a car and wait for him at the prefectural inspection gate.

He arrived at the Blue House more than half an hour later.

Prosecutor Xu.

Prosecutor Xu.

There were many people coming in and out of the Blue House. Some people took the initiative to say hello to Xu Jingxian after seeing him.

Xu Jingxian came to the President's Office, and Kim Soo-kyung's desk was right outside the door of the President's Office.

Prosecutor Xu is here, the president is waiting for you inside. Jin Zhuqing stood up to greet him, stepped forward to shake hands with Xu Jingxian, and reminded in a low voice: This is again about prosecutorial reform. Please be careful what you say, Prosecutor Xu.

Xu Jingxian gave him a grateful look.

Then Jin Zhuqing let go of his hand, stepped forward and knocked on the door, Sir, Prosecutor Xu is here.

please come in.

Jin Zhuqing stepped aside.

After Xu Jingxian pushed the door open, Jin Qing, who was standing aside, closed the door and returned to his office.

The president's office is larger. Xu Jingxian had been here once before during Kim Ho-gwang's administration, so he didn't feel any novelty or shock. He stepped forward and bowed with a calm expression, Your Excellency, you are looking for me, Mr. President.

Well, sit down. Lu Wuxuan was currently approving a document and said without raising his head.

Xu Jingxian walked to the side and sat down, placing his hands neatly on his legs, waiting quietly for the other party to finish his work.

After about a minute or two, Lu Mouxuan put down the pen in his hand and said: Jingxian is now the prosecutor general of the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office. As the leader of the country's core district prosecutors, your words and deeds will have a profound impact on all of you. Fellow prosecutors have a profound influence.”

I called you here today because of the reform of the prosecutor's office. You are a prosecutor. You know better than me how much power the prosecutor has. You also know very well how much harm this will cause.

Jingxian, from what you have done, I believe without reservation that you love this country as deeply as I do. The reform of the prosecutor's office harms the interests of prosecutors, but it protects the interests of the people and the interests of the people. I hope you can support me in this move that benefits the country and the people.

Lu Wuxuan's tone was very sincere and sincere. If Xu Jingxian really loved this country, he would definitely agree without hesitation, but his patriotism was all disguised. He loved the power in his hands even more.

So he couldn't agree. If he really put a rope on himself, it would be difficult to untie it later.

Moreover, the reform mentioned by Lu Wuxuan is to establish another department to specifically supervise the prosecution and limit the use of the prosecutor's power. For a prosecutor like him who is corrupt and perverts the law, this new department is equivalent to a hand hanging over his head. A butcher knife that could fall at any time.

He would have to be crazy to agree.

After all, his butt is really dirty.

If he really supports Lu Wuxuan, maybe he will be killed first after this department is established.

Moreover, he is a prosecutor. If he does not protect the interests of the prosecutor, it will be a betrayal of the collective. At that time, other prosecutors will want to take him down first.

The group of South Korean prosecutors has always been extremely united. Even if there are internal disputes, everyone can always be consistent in dealing with the outside world.

The most important thing is that he knows Lu Wuxuan, and he knows history better, and he knows that he can't do this.

Taking into account all the factors mentioned above, even if he fell out with Lao Lu over this, he would never agree.

Your Excellency, I understand what you mean, but I cannot agree. Xu Jingxian stood up and said with a serious expression: As I said before, the prosecutor's power is too great. If you want to reform, I also support it. , but don’t be in a hurry. If you are too hasty, big problems will occur. Please think twice.”

He did this for Lu Wuxuan's benefit. After all, Lu Wuxuan wanted to reform and do things, but he was not courageous enough.

Not only would it be a bad thing to do, but it would also be embarrassing.

In the original time and space, he was the same as he is now. Less than 10 days after taking office, he hurriedly attacked the prosecutor.

It stands to reason that he is the president and can directly use his power to suppress people. Even if the prosecutor resists, he can only cause a few mass incidents and direct force to suppress them is enough. Is it really possible to rebel? As far as prosecutors are concerned, they won’t succeed even if they want to rebel!

But he refused. He insisted on inviting several representatives of the prosecution to debate on a TV show, trying to defeat the enemy without a fight in front of all the people. He wanted to use his eloquence to influence and persuade these representatives of the prosecution.

The result was that he wanted to show his face, but instead exposed his buttocks. The prosecutor's representatives ignored him at all, causing him to lose face and prestige in front of the people. Later, the reform of the prosecutor's office came to nothing.

It was not until Wen Yingzai came to power that he successfully used drastic measures to limit the power of the prosecutors.

Jingxian, the president of our country can only serve for five years and cannot be re-elected. Five years! It seems to be a long time, but it is actually very short. If everything is done slowly, it will take a long time just to solve the problem of prosecutorial reform. In the past year or two, how can I do other things? Lu Wuxuan asked, shaking his head.

This is actually a problem. When you first come to power, you have to spend a year or two fighting for power and stabilizing your position. When everything is settled and you are ready to start doing things, you only have two or three years left.

How much can you do in two or three years? Many things have just begun and the results have not yet been seen. Maybe the next president will reject them all when he takes office.

Xu Jingxian knew that it didn't make sense for him to be both a good person and a fun-loving person, so he could only bow and said: I still maintain my original opinion. Please think twice. If you insist on having your own way, then maybe I have to stand up due to various factors. Your opposite.”

Pa! Lu Wuxuan was angry. He immediately stood up and pointed at Xu Jingxian and yelled: Jingxian, what's the matter with you? You're too young to look forward and backward! Besides, you said you didn't support me before, but you didn't object either, and now you say you want to Are you going against me too quickly?

He had the feeling of being angry and undisputed. It is good for young people to be calm, but how can they do it without a little momentum?

Before, I could support or oppose because my position at the time allowed me not to take a stand. But now that you have elevated me to the position of Seoul District Prosecutor General, I have to make a choice. I hope you understand. Xu Jingxian said with a sincere face.

Lu Wuxuan was so angry that he laughed and said, So, did I promote you by mistake? Did I put a roadblock in my way by promoting you to prosecutor general?

He really wanted to go up and kick Xu Jingxian.

I just can’t understand why the Seoul Tigers, who used to be fearless in the face of chaebols and high-ranking officials, have become so timid in this matter.

Is it that difficult to make up your mind to support him?

If I make it difficult for my seniors, I can resign. Xu Jingxian lowered his head deeply, and then said: But in this position, I have to make this difficult choice, and with me, I can at least control other prosecutors. The officials’ emotions should be controlled to control the degree of opposition so that they will not take drastic actions to prevent irreversible consequences.”

I took the lead in resisting you for your own good!

Okay, get lost! Lu Wuxuan pointed at the door and shouted angrily, turning his back to Xu Jingxian.

Xu Jingxian bowed deeply and turned to leave.

As soon as he closed the door, Jin Zhuqing immediately came up to him and asked in a low voice: What's going on? I heard your Excellency getting angry from outside.

Didn't he remind Xu Jingxian just now?

It's okay. Xu Jingxian smiled slightly. He and Jin Zhuqing were in different positions and had different ideas.

Jin Zhuqing always only needs to consider Lu Mouxuan's emotions, but Xu Jingxian has too many things to consider, so sometimes he has to say things that he knows will anger Lu Mouxuan.

Watching Xu Jingxian leave, Jin Zhuqing was stunned for a while, then made a cup of coffee and gave it to Lu Wuxuan, Your Excellency, please moisten your mouth.

While Lu Wuxuan was drinking coffee, he said tentatively: Your Excellency, does Minister Xu still disapprove of your upcoming reform of the prosecution?

I just didn't agree before, but now I express my opposition. Lu Wuxuan sneered, put down the cup and said, Okay, he has supported me for so long and now he opposes me for the first time. I have fought with him.

After all, this matter involves reducing his own power, and Minister Xu is not exempt from this. Jin Zhuqing said something bad about Xu Jingxian in a serious way.

Lu Wuxuan frowned, turned to look at him and said, Zhuqing, do you have any conflict with Jingxian?

Every time he had an opportunity, Jin Zhuqing would say some seemingly harmless bad things to Xu Jingxian.

He felt that it was necessary to understand how far the conflict between the two had developed, and to intervene as appropriate to prevent the disagreement between the two from affecting business affairs.

No, Chief Prosecutor Xu and I just have different views on some things. It can't be called a conflict. Jin Zhuqing explained with a change of expression.

Lu Wuxuan took in all his expressions, and then thought that Xu Jingxian had never said anything bad about Jin Zhuqing, which meant that Jin Zhuqing only had a unilateral opinion on him, but it was not a big conflict, so he stopped asking.

After all, Jin Zhuqing is someone close to him, so it would be better if he had some disagreements with foreign ministers like Xu Jingxian. If they were really close, then he would have to consider changing his secretary.

On the other side, Xu Jingxian received a call from Chief Quan Shenglong as soon as he got in the car and was about to go back to the district inspection.

Make an appointment with him for a drink at 9pm.

Naturally, he could not refuse the invitation from his new immediate boss and agreed immediately.

……………………

The time soon came to night.

Around 8:30, Park Zhizhi drove Xu Jingxian and Zhao Dahai to a private club.

Leaving Park Ji-hye in the car, Xu Jingxian and Zhao Dahai followed the waiters who came to greet them into the club.

Secretary Zhao, please come with me. As soon as they entered the lobby on the first floor, a waiter took Zhao Dahai away.

Xu Jingxian followed another waiter to a private room on the second floor, then pushed the door open and entered.

As soon as the door opened, he discovered that Quan Shenglong had not only invited him, but also many familiar faces, such as Jiang Xiaocheng, director of the Northern Branch, Jin Binjong, the new deputy director of the lobby, director of the Central Investigation Department, director of the Eastern Branch, etc... …A series of top prosecutors in Seoul.

What was rare was that there was no woman in the private room.

Prosecutor Xu is finally here, but we have to wait! Quan Shenglong laughed and put his arm around Xu Jingxian's shoulders, pushing him down on the sofa and sitting down, Now everyone is finally here.

I'm sorry everyone, I made you wait for me for so long. If you deserve punishment, I'll punish myself with three drinks first. Xu Jingxian said with an apologetic expression after sitting down, then poured himself three glasses of wine, and drank them all in one go.

Okay! Prosecutor General Xu Hailiang!

I see, Prosecutor Xu is obviously thirsty and wants to have a few drinks first.

Ha ha ha ha……

There was a lot of talking and laughing in the private room.

Okay, okay, stop joking and get down to business. Quan Shenglong clapped his hands to signal for silence.

Everyone stopped smiling and looked at him.

Quan Shenglong stood in front of the table, put his hands on his hips, looked around and said, If this matter is not resolved, I'm afraid everyone here will not be able to laugh in the future.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

Xu Jingxian guessed what Quan Shenglong was going to say.

Although Lu Wuxuan's plan to attack the prosecutor has not yet been made public, he must have communicated with the Ministry of Justice in advance. After all, the Ministry of Justice is the superior unit of the Prosecutor's Office, and the new chief is his.

As the prosecutor general, Quan Shenglong naturally has his own connections in the Ministry of Justice. It is not surprising that he can get the relevant information in advance. Otherwise, Xu Jingxian really can't think of anything else that requires him to gather so many senior officials together in private. Get up and discuss.

Haha, our President Lu is very good at crossing rivers and demolishing bridges. Quan Shenglongpi smiled, picked up the glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp. He turned around and played with the glass and said: We, the prosecutor, will do our best. Put him on the throne of the presidency, and before his butt is even hot, he is already thinking about how to attack us.

In fact, it was precisely because the prosecutors put so much effort into Lu Wuxuan's campaign that he further realized the dangers of excessive prosecutorial power.

Wow!

Everyone in the private room was suddenly in an uproar.

Chief, what do you mean?

The president wants to suppress our prosecutors? It's not so unwise, right? What's in it for him?

Chief, what kind of news have you gotten...

Quiet! Everyone be quiet! Quan Shenglong shouted twice impatiently, and then said: I have received the exact news. The first thing the president did after taking office was to reform the current prosecutorial system. The purpose is only One is to set up a supervision department to limit the power of prosecutors. It is estimated that the relevant official documents will be issued soon.

Now everyone was even more excited.

What? Assi! How could Lu Wuxuan do this? This is simply ungrateful!

The power of our prosecutors has always been like this. What's the problem with that? Because of this, our efficiency is far higher than other departments.

Xi Ba! Absolutely not! If he really does this, we can't sit still and wait for death...

No one is willing to hand over the power they have, and no one likes to have multiple fathers staring at them.

Their prosecutors are the unequivocal kings in the judicial system. If they really set up a supervisory department that is independent from the prosecutorial system, they will be inferior to others in the future.

And everyone’s butts are dirty.

They are all afraid of becoming the political achievements of this new department.

That's right! We can't sit still and wait for death! This is the purpose of inviting everyone here today. Quan Shenglong nodded and looked at Deputy Minister Jin Binzhong and Xu Jingxian, Secretary General Jin and Prosecutor General Xu were promoted by the President. Yes, you can express your attitude.

The scene suddenly became quiet again, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Jingxian and Kim Soo Jong.

Compared with the previous intimacy and enthusiasm, their eyes were already a little more wary and cold.

Asking for a monthly ticket! Asking for a monthly ticket! Asking for a monthly ticket!
