Peninsula Prosecutor
Chapter 353 The year 2003 turned into a mess (please vote! Please subscribe!)
Zhou Siming has the right to make phone calls.
But now he is a prisoner and has no power.
So of course I don't have the right to make phone calls.
After receiving the support of the Supervisory Yuan, Xu Jingxian restricted Zhou Siming from calling for reinforcements and held a press conference to announce that he was under investigation.
In this way, even if some of Zhou Siming's high-ranking relatives and friends try to save him, it will be too late. After all, once the incident spreads, it will be watched by the whole country. With such high attention, it will be increasingly difficult to carry out any operation.
Click! Click! Click!
When Xu Jingxian walked into the venue, all the cameras sounded at the same time, and the flashes were bright and blinding.
He stood on the stage and raised his hand to indicate that he would stop taking pictures, and then the sound of the camera's shutter disappeared.
Good morning, everyone. Xu Jingxian bowed slightly and said hello to everyone, then stood up straight and said in a low voice: With the cooperation of the Supervisory Yuan, the Criminal Department of the District Procuratorate obtained conclusive evidence of the crime of Zhou Siming, a member of the Supervisory Yuan. With the help of the hospital, he was brought back to the district prosecutor’s office an hour ago to cooperate with the investigation.”
The reporters at the scene were in an uproar. They couldn't hold back the shock in their hearts and started discussing in a low voice.
The Oversight Yuan is a national audit department under the direct control of the president. Every member of the Oversight Yuan is a highly respected person with rich experience. This is the first time in recent years that a member of the Oversight Yuan has been found guilty of a crime while in office.
Since Xu Jingxian was promoted to the prosecutor general, he has basically no longer directly handled various cases. Although the special inspection team he led found many officials with problems, they were relatively small fish and shrimps, not a sensation, and the main pressure The focus is all on Lu Wuxuan's side.
Everyone thought that Prosecutor Xu was no longer responsible for directly investigating the case, and the number of big news that could be reported in the future had declined. Unexpectedly, he was holding back a big news.
Prosecutor General, you just said that Mr. Zhou was arrested by the Criminal Department. Is he suspected of a criminal offense? A young reporter stood up and asked.
Generally speaking, the reasons why these officials are dismissed are due to economic problems, and not many involve criminal cases.
Xu Jingxian nodded and replied calmly: According to the information we currently have, Zhou Siming is not only guilty of job-related crimes, but is also suspected of multiple criminal cases including intentional homicide and strong swords. He will be prosecuted by the prosecutor. Indicted on multiple counts.”
Powerful people are not short of money. It stands to reason that they can get the woman they want by exchanging resources, but most of them engage in strong sword behavior. To put it bluntly, they do not regard ordinary people as human beings at all.
Because deep down in their hearts, they never thought it would be troublesome to violate or kill an ordinary person, so they just did it when they felt like it.
What you enjoy is the feeling of doing whatever you want.
Prosecutor Xu, can you disclose the amount of money Zhou Siming was involved in? a female reporter said.
Xu Jingxian shook his head, The prosecutors currently only have part of the evidence of his corruption. The specific amount needs further investigation, but what can be revealed is that the part the prosecutors have has reached tens of millions of dollars.
After all, Zhou Siming was in his fifties and had been an official for more than twenty years, rising all the way up. The money he made in the process was absolutely astronomical.
I would like to ask Chief Prosecutor Xu, will the prosecutors face pressure when investigating Zhou Siming's case? someone else asked.
Xu Jingxian looked at the reporter who didn't mind the matter and replied: The evidence of Zhou Siming's crime is conclusive. The prosecutor acted in accordance with the law and regulations. No one can find fault, so why should we put pressure on him? What's more, our prosecutors are never afraid Pressure, after all, what we do is to offend people, and the power given to us by the state allows us to withstand pressure from any aspect!
He knew what the guy meant, which was nothing more than a hint whether someone would put pressure on the prosecutor to protect Zhou Siming, and whether the prosecutor would shrink under pressure.
Just kidding, the prosecution is always strong.
When have you ever flinched?
Even if there is, it can only be for the sake of the overall situation...
Shit!
The overall situation? What is the overall situation? I only know that the duty of the special inspection team is to strictly investigate crimes and not let any corrupt officials go. What's more, the special inspection team was established by the president. I cannot agree to the request of Mr. General Li. Xu Jingxian stood in front of the State Councilor Li Gaojian with a respectful attitude, but his tone was very tough.
An hour ago, he had just finished the press conference and was summoned by Gao Jian. After seeing him, Gao Jian made a request, that is, the special inspection team should not conduct in-depth investigations into officials who served during the Kim Ho-gwang administration.
Because as more and more members of the Democratic Party were found to have problems, others began to fear that they would be investigated. Therefore, the anti-Lu faction within the party once again expanded, and a special inspection team was set up to investigate Lu Mouxuan and the Kim Ho-gwang government. dissatisfied with the conduct of the liquidation investigation.
Gao Jian belonged to the pro-Lu faction within the party, otherwise he would not have been appointed as the State Councilor. Naturally, he heard the growing opposition to Lu Wuxuan within the party.
He believed that the situation could not continue to develop like this, so he called Xu Jingxian to talk.
Xu Jingxian's rejection was beyond his expectation.
Because Xu Jingxian is also one of Lu Wuxuan's cronies and was single-handedly promoted to the top. Couldn't he see the disadvantages of continuing the investigation?
Takamama was startled for a moment, then sighed and said: Prosecutor Xu, don't you understand our President? He actually regrets this matter, but he just can't lose face to deny his order. That's right. It's ugly to say that he is indecisive, but the people below us have to make up for him, right?
He regarded Xu Jingxian as one of Lu Wuxuan's own, just like him, so he said it very directly.
Your Excellency, Mr. General Li, I'm sorry, unless the president personally orders it, the special inspection team will not stop investigating for a day. Xu Jingxian still refused.
Lu Wuxuan would never be able to remember his lesson without giving Lu Wuxuan a hard time. He could have terminated the investigation of the special inspection team at any time, but now he still can't bear to give this order, which shows that the current results are still within his control. If it is within the tolerance range, it means it is not painful enough.
If you want to save face and suffer pain, then just live with it.
And he didn't want Lu Wuxuan to take any time off.
It's best to be in trouble at any time, otherwise you have to start thinking about dealing with the prosecutor again.
If Lu Wuxuan uses the opportunity of this special inspection to offend more people, and at the same time privately spares those under investigation, how many people will support Lu Wuxuan the next time he thinks about the prosecutor?
Gao Jian stared at Xu Jingxian for a while, unable to analyze whether he was blindly loyal to Lu Wuxuan or pretending to be loyal to Lu Wuxuan to cause trouble. After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand, Okay, then you go and do your work first.
He knew that he couldn't understand the other party, so he could only find a way to persuade Lu Wuxuan to disband the special inspection team.
Farewell. Xu Jingxian bowed and left. Throughout the process, he showed respect for the other party.
His respect for Takama was not only due to his status, but also because the man himself was a capable person.
In the original time and space, when Lu Wuxuan was about to be supervised by Congress due to the corruption of his relatives, Takama led the cabinet to resign en masse in order to reduce the pressure on him.
At this time, he was very supportive of Lu Wuxuan.
Later, when Lu Wuxuan was impeached, Takama assumed the power of the president. During this period, he was quite popular among the people. Later, Takama realized that Lu Wuxuan could not be saved and had no value in assisting him. He might as well go on his own.
Therefore, he announced his candidacy for president in 2006 and criticized Lu Wuxuan's inability to govern. His evaluation of Lu Wuxuan was: arrogant, self-righteous, and incompetent.
This evaluation may contain an undisputed personal emotion and is a bit extreme, but it can make a very capable Gao Jian belittle him in this way, which shows that Lao Lu is a good person, but his ability is indeed not very good.
Before Takamama announced his candidacy for president, he had already fallen out with Lao Lu. Looking at Lu Wuxuan's life, we will find that he always fell out with many capable people who had supported or helped him.
This is because Lu Wuxuan is too arrogant and self-righteous despite his lack of ability. He cannot listen to other people's advice and always messes up things. The second reason is that he is idealistic and cannot tolerate sand in his eyes.
It's no wonder that in the end he only had one friend left by his side, Wen Yingzai, but having only one friend like Wen Yingzai in his life was enough.
At the same time, Xu Haoyu was personally selecting an office location for a law firm that had not yet opened. After walking out of an office building, he happened to receive a call from Chen Minggui.
Hey, uncle, what's the matter?
Haoyu, have you heard? Zhou Siming was arrested by the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office. It was said that it was found that he was involved in not only official crimes but also criminal crimes. I guess you won't be able to figure it out for the rest of your life. Chen Minggui sounded excited.
After all, it was because of Zhou Siming that he had been detained for less than half a month. For this reason, he quit his glamorous job, and now he has a bad temper.
Xu Haoyu froze on the spot and said after a long time: Really? Then this is really a good thing.
After a few words of greeting, the two ended the call. Xu Haoyu stood there holding his cell phone for a long time without regaining consciousness.
He never expected that Xu Jingxian would knock down his seemingly unshakable behemoth so quickly. This made him deeply moved and deeply shocked. Maybe this was the gap in ability. It is really far inferior to Jingxian.
This is purely self-depreciation. He couldn't do it just because he wanted to take the right path. Xu Jingxian used crooked ways, so he was naturally more efficient.
Xu Haoyu took a deep breath, calmed down his turbulent mood, and sent a text message to Xu Jingxian.
Thanks.
Ding~
Soon he received a heartwarming reply.
Be polite to me, Male Gobi.
He smiled, Xu Jingxian was still as polite as ever towards his friends, which made people want to take action.
After working as a prosecutor for several years, I gained nothing such as reputation or money. The biggest gain was getting to know Xu Jingxian and becoming a good friend with him.
……………………
In August, a big event happened in Seoul.
The special investigation team's investigation into Hyundai Group's remittances to North Korea came to an abrupt end. The key figure in the matter, Hyundai Group Chairman Zheng Mengxian, jumped off the building and committed suicide.
Some say he committed suicide out of fear of guilt, while others say he committed suicide because he could not withstand the pressure constantly exerted by the prosecutors.
But no matter what the truth is.
he died.
Then all the responsibilities must be borne by him alone.
After all, the dead are already dead, and the dead cannot speak, so the living must live.
At the same time, the special inspection team released two explosive news in succession. One was that Park Ji-won, a close confidant of Kim Ho-gwang, was found to have received 15 billion won in bribes from Hyundai Group President Lee Ik-ji. Received bribes from Hanwha Group.
Cui Shudao, as the general secretary of the president and the chief steward of the Blue House, is a close confidant of Lu Mouxuan.
It is also the only important person in the Democratic Party suspected of committing a crime that has been found in the months since the special inspection team was established. As soon as this incident came out, the whole country was in an uproar.
The National Party and other opponents of Lu Mouxuan took the opportunity to attack, questioning the problem of Lu Mouxuan's campaign funds.
It was also at this time that Lu Wuxuan finally came to his senses and realized that something was wrong. By establishing a special inspection team, he shot himself in the foot.
At this time, he quickly wanted to disband the special inspection team.
And Xu Jingxian, who had already mastered a series of criminal evidence for many people, pulled him crazy. After learning from Jin Zhuqing that Lu Mouxuan was going to disband the special investigation team.
He immediately released a new message.
They said that they had found out that some people in the National Party who were madly attacking No Moo-hyun also accepted bribes from Hanwha Group, and the National Party that shouted at No Moo-hyun was instantly stopped.
Now, people from both parties have accepted bribes from Hanwha Group, which means that from this moment on, both the National Party and the Democratic Party will be investigated by the special inspection team.
As soon as Lu Wuxuan saw this situation.
He immediately gave up the idea of disbanding the special inspection team.
By walking the two parties like a dog, Xu Jingxian succeeded in keeping the special inspection team from being disbanded. As long as the special inspection team is not disbanded, he will have great power.
During the investigation of the Hanwha Group bribery case, the conflict between the anti-Lu faction and the pro-Lu faction within the Democratic Party finally broke out. On September 20, 2003, 37 members of the ruling Democratic Party, headed by Chung Dong-yong, and 5 National Party members left their respective parties. The party established a negotiation group called the New People's Participation and Unification Party.
The Democratic Party is officially split.
Lu Wuxuan was so angry that he quit the party, right?
Then I have to quit too!
He was also preparing to quit the party. Xu Jingxian, Takama Onyingzai and others were shocked when they learned about this.
They all persuaded him not to seek quick results, because once he quits the party, he will lose party power, and any proposal against him in Congress may be passed.
Although as president he can veto proposals.
But if he abuses presidential power, Congress will definitely protest, and he will still suffer the consequences.
However, Lu Wuxuan simply refused to listen to the advice.
Xu Jingxian even promised that as long as he does not quit the party, the special inspection team will focus on investigating the National Party's bribery from Hanwha Group and help him regain the upper hand.
As a result, Lu Wuxuan became furious, saying that he did not need to rely on such despicable behavior to govern, and drove Xu Jingxian away, leaving Prosecutor Xu disgraced.
Xu Jingxian was helpless about this. He thought that through the establishment of the special inspection team, he had known the pain, learned a lesson, and would have changed compared to the original time and space.
I didn’t expect that he was still the same person and hadn’t changed at all.
To be honest, Roh Moo-hyun was kind to him. He used the presidential privileges to promote him from a minister to the position of the Seoul District Prosecutor General. This at least saved him five to ten years of detours.
Everyone has feelings. Although he knew that Lu Wuxuan was not good, he always held on to a glimmer of hope.
Tried many times to save him and change him.
But now he has completely given up. No one can change others, at most they can only change themselves.
Damn it, destroy it.
On September 29, Roh Moo-hyun also broke away from the Democratic Party, which he believed to be all rebels, and became a nonpartisan president. He was also the first president in South Korean history to quit the party at the early stage of his governance.
The Democratic Party was already divided, and his withdrawal from the party further reduced its strength.
The Democratic Party must hate Lu Wuxuan!
Then, the situation developed exactly as Xu Jingxian, Takama and the others feared.
The Democratic Party, the National Party and the Liberal Democratic Union have made a rare alliance, and the National Assembly will conduct the first national affairs inspection to investigate the corruption of Lu Mouxuan's relatives.
This hit Lu Wuxuan's seven inches.
As an idealist with a moral compulsion, absolute incorruptibility, and an idealist who values reputation more than life, corruption among his relatives is a pain point for him.
So he became willful again.
On October 1st, China’s National Day, Lu Wuxuan announced that a popular confidence vote would be held on December 15th.
If he is not trusted, he will resign on February 15th of the following year. This is extremely childish. What does he think of the power of the president? Just say you don’t want it?
Although Lu Wuxuan's cronies were very angry.
But you have to recognize the lord you choose.
Therefore, General Secretary Gao Jian led the cabinet to resign in order to reduce the pressure on him, and Policy Office Director Li Yuting also offered to lead the secretariat to resign, but Lu Wuxuan refused.
Lu Wuxuan's emotional behavior made the opposition extremely happy. For fear that he would regret it, they urged Lu Wuxuan to start the public opinion poll as soon as possible every day.
On November 10, the opposition proposed that Congress set up an inspection team to investigate whether there were any problems with the campaign funds of Lu Mouxuan’s camp. Lu Mouxuan’s retribution for quitting the party came. Because he had no party power, Congress easily passed the special inspection, but this Cilu Buxuan learned his lesson and became wiser, finding excuses to veto.
Faced with the rejection of the proposal, all members of the National Party threatened to resign, so that Congress would not be able to pass any bills. Party leader Choi Yeol-bin also threatened to go on a hunger strike.
Of course, Lu Mouxuan was not alone and helpless. On the other side, the pro-Lu National United New Party was formally established.
The name was not good enough, so it was renamed the Open Ministries Party and occupied 42 seats in the National Assembly. Member Kim Dae-young went on a magic attack and went on a hunger strike to counter the hunger strike of the National Party.
Since Noh Moo-hyun came to power at the beginning of the year, he has basically not done anything serious. It has been all internal fighting. The entire South Korean political arena in 2003 was a mess.
The two sides refuse to give in to each other, but the matter cannot be dragged out forever and can only be resolved through negotiation.
On November 20, Xu Jingxian, who had not seen Lu Wuxuan for several months, received a call from Wen Yingzai and drove to Lu's house for a meeting.
Your Excellency, Mr. President, and Senior Wen have not seen each other for a long time. Xu Jingxian bowed to the two of them and said.
Lu Wuxuan's expression looked a little embarrassed, but he just hummed. Wen Yingzai was as enthusiastic as ever: It's been a long time since we last met, Jingxian still looks so energetic, sit down quickly, Wuxuan got a batch of good tea, I specially invite you to come and try it.”
Thank you, President, for still remembering me. Xu Jingxian said and sat down next to Wen Yingzai.
Lu Wuxuan was very silent today, and Wen Yingzai was the one who spoke the whole time, Jingxian, you know what happened recently, Wu Xuan is having a hard time.
I believe that with the wisdom of His Excellency the President, he will be able to crush the conspiracy of those young people and successfully overcome the difficulties. Xu Jingxian responded with a serious face.
This sounds nice, but Lu Wuxuan always has the illusion that the other party is trying to spite him.
After all, if he had listened to the advice of Xu Jingxian and others, he would never have reached such an embarrassing step.
You, I know, you have a problem with Wu Xuan's stubbornness and disobedience. Wen Yingzai shook his head, put his hand on Xu Jingxian's shoulder and said: We are all our own people, so stop talking about these empty words. I called you here today. I hope you can join the special investigation team investigating our campaign funds. You don’t have to do anything when you join the team, just keep an eye on other people and don’t give them a chance to frame us.”
Senior, they all know that I have a close relationship with the President, will they agree to this? Xu Jingxian frowned immediately, guessing that Lu Wuxuan made this move because he could not stop the opposition from implementing the new special prosecution law.
As for why he was chosen, of course it was because he was single-handedly promoted by Lu Wuxuan. Even if he was dissatisfied with him, he would not backstab him. After all, if you want to go far in the political arena, reputation is very important.
and valued his influence with the prosecution.
Lu Wuxuan finally spoke, If they don't agree, then I will always veto the proposal. They believe that there is a problem with my campaign funds, and they definitely don't want to drag it out forever, so they will most likely compromise.
As long as His Excellency the President and the seniors can convince Congress, then I have no objection and am willing to do my best. Xu Jingxian agreed to this, because as someone who contributed to Lu Wuxuan's campaign in the early stage, although he did not know about Lu Wuxuan's campaign Approximate amount of funds.
But I'm sure there's no big problem. He's just going in to play a supervisory role anyway.
This is also for his own good.
After all, he is Lu Wuxuan's man. If Lu Wuxuan is framed, he will be implicated to some extent.
On December 4, the National Party, the Democratic Party and the Liberal Democratic Union passed the special prosecution law again. This time, as more than 2/3 of the members voted in favor, the new special prosecution law officially became law, and the parliament appointed prosecutors to investigate Lu Mouxuan. Campaign finance and a host of other issues.
At the same time, the issue of the National Party’s campaign funds is also within the scope of this investigation. After all, both parties are involved in the Hanwha Group bribery case, so of course they must be investigated together.
Xu Jingxian became a member of the special investigation team in this case.
On December 16, 2002, after taking a breather, Lu Mouxuan began to talk loudly again, saying that if his illegal campaign funds exceeded 1/10 of the National Party, he would resign and withdraw from politics.
A few days later, he publicly stated that his campaign funds were between 30 billion and 40 billion. However, the law stipulates that if the campaign funds exceed 34.35 billion won, the election will be invalidated. Fortunately, the six-month election invalidation lawsuit period has passed. He cannot be prosecuted.
Otherwise, he would be done with it.
Xu Jingxian was speechless about this. We tried every means to make amends for you, but you ended up tearing down the wall yourself. Please, it’s not against the law to be mute and not speak.
Under the supervision of Xu Jingxian, the special inspection team had no chance to frame Lu Wuxuan through small tricks, so the entire investigation process was fair, just and open.
Time came to the end of January 2004.
The special inspection team announced its investigation results and found that Roh Moo-hyun illegally raised only 8 billion won in campaign funds, while the National Party raised as much as 60 billion in illegal funds.
The last time Lu Mouxuan set up a special inspection team, he shot himself in the foot. This time, the National Party-dominated Congress asked for the establishment of a special inspection team and shot itself in the foot. Whoever sets up the special inspection team will do it. will become unfortunate.
Although the illegal campaign funds of Lu Mouxuan's camp are much less than those of the National Party, upon closer inspection, they have exceeded 1/10 of what Lu Mouxuan had promised before.
However, he failed to fulfill his promise to resign and withdraw from politics. At the same time, because his relatives were involved in corruption cases, a series of blows caused his approval rating to plummet.
It can be said that this is all the result of his own doing.
Before becoming the president, Lu Wuxuan had a lot of luck, but after becoming the president, he continued to dig his own foundation as if he had lost his mind.
In short, as the chaotic 2003 passed.
This farce came to an end in early 2004.
Both special inspection teams were also disbanded.
Heo Jingxian lost the aura of the special prosecutor and continued to be an ordinary prosecutor general of Seoul.
February 1st, Spring Festival.
Xu Jingxian has made his fried chicken business bigger and stronger this year. Park Canyu and Xu Haoyu, who have opened more than a dozen chain stores, and Zhao Dahai celebrated the New Year on their yacht together. It was particularly lively due to the large number of people.
At night, the yacht sailed on the Han River, with brilliant neon lights on both sides. Children were playing and playing on the deck, laughing constantly, while the women gathered together to chat about their own topics.
There are constantly dedicated service personnel delivering various delicacies and fine wines to the small tables set up on the deck.
I heard that you have more than a dozen restaurants, and now you are frying chicken yourself. Xu Jingxian looked at Park Canyu and said.
Even though he is worth tens of millions, Park Canyu is still dressed simply. He smiled calmly and said, Isn't that because I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat my fried chicken when you come sometimes?
Hahahahaha. Xu Jingxian put his arm around his shoulders and said to Xu Haoyu and Zhao Dahai on the side: You see, our Chanyu is worthy of being the boss, and his words are different now.
Brother Jingxian, please stop teasing my brother. A girl under the age of twenty, with cute appearance, petite figure but protruding back and forth, and even a windbreaker could not cover the curves of her delicate body, gave Xu Jingxian a resentful look.
It’s Park Hye Soo, Park Chan Woo’s younger sister.
Two or three years ago, Xu Jingxian paid for the best doctor to transplant her kidney and send her to study abroad. Now she has grown into a graceful and elegant girl.
Xu Jingxian touched her head and said with some emotion: Time flies so fast. You have grown so big in a blink of an eye. The first time I saw you, you were as skinny as a stray cat, which was heartbreaking.
Really grown up.
When I first met, I could only get a B at best.
Now the visual inspection is at least D.
Thanks to Brother Jingxian, you changed my life. Park Hye Soo grabbed his hand and looked at him.
No. Xu Jingxian shook his head and patted Pu Canyu on the shoulder, It's not me, it's your brother.
Pu Canyu just smiled and said nothing.
As twelve o'clock arrives, fireworks begin to be set off on both sides of the Han River at the same time. Colorful fireworks are flying all over the sky, and the best viewing spot is on the yacht.
I hope everyone will hear good news in my ears in the new year. Xu Jingxian said while holding up his wine glass.
Others raised their glasses in cheers.
Dingling bell~Dingling bell~
At this moment Xu Jingxian's cell phone rang.
Seeing that it was Li Fuzhen calling, he first handed the wine glass to Lin Miaoxi, then walked aside to answer the phone.
As the other side opened his mouth.
His expression changed instantly.
I don’t know if this is good news.
Please give me a monthly pass. The temperature has cooled down. My hands are freezing while writing code. Please give me a monthly pass. It’s the beginning of the month. Please give me a monthly pass.
