"These guys are messing around! They actually went to investigate Chaosheng's details, how courageous!" After reading the investigation report sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau, Qiu Yuan couldn't help but patted the table on the spot and lost his temper .
For Qiu Yuan, who just took office, the first priority is to maintain the stability of the social order in Manila, and the series of actions of Chaosheng Commercial Store are all ordered by the temporary management committee, with the purpose of stabilizing the local commodities. Liquid market, to avoid profiteers hoarding after the war, disrupting market conditions.Behind Chaosheng Commercial Store is the support of various departments such as the government, military, police, and business. It is not an exaggeration to say that it can call the wind and rain in the local area. In this way, there are still people who dare to make the idea of Chaosheng Commercial Store. In Qiu Yuan's opinion It's really audacious.
The reactivation of the Spanish military officer Francis after the war was the result of Qiu Yuanyi's strong advocacy. He believed that Francis, who was quite influential in the local area, could make a certain contribution to Haihan's management of the Hispanic people, and he could also help Haihan in official institutions. The use of Hispanic personnel in the Central Committee to set a good example will have a positive effect in the Western Management Bureau that will far outweigh the risks.But the reality is obviously different from his prediction. Francis, who originally seemed rigid and stubborn like a rock, has a bold and reckless side, and unexpectedly united with other people to make such a big move in secret.
Of course, Qiu Yuan did not ignore Ding Feng, the real planner of this case. If he hadn't been involved in the plot, Francis and Qin Huacheng would not have used their power to investigate the background of Chaosheng Commercial Store, and if it was carried out according to their ideas In the future, the biggest beneficiary will probably be the Ding family, which is mainly engaged in business.According to the confession obtained from the investigation by the Military Intelligence Bureau, Qin Huacheng claimed that these incidents were all planned by Ding Feng, which is probably true.
Xiao Liang, who was sitting opposite him, had a wry smile on his face. He was also insufficiently prepared for such a situation.Although the local affairs of the Military Intelligence Bureau are under his command, he is mainly in charge of the monitoring and reconnaissance of other Spanish colonies in the Philippine Islands. Although Fang Peng submitted an investigation application to him, he did not It aroused his attention. After all, the subject of the investigation was just a newcomer who had just entered the police force. Who would want to find out so many messy things after the investigation.
Fortunately, this group of people has not found out the details of Chaosheng Commercial Storehouse and Ran Tianlu so far, and they have not taken any actions that are too out of bounds. It is actually not a felony, at most it is "attempt to disrupt the market" .The Military Intelligence Bureau did not continue to take people on its own initiative, but first submitted a report to Xiao Liang and asked for instructions on the next step.After all, no matter how much Francis is a puppet, he is still an official appointed by the Temporary Management Committee. The Military Intelligence Bureau has no authority to arrest a bureau-level official who has just taken office—even if the Western Management Bureau is only a local civil affairs organization.
After reading the investigation report, Xiao Liang was also very helpless. This matter has involved the field of civil affairs and exceeded his scope of authority, so he could only come to Qiu Yuan to discuss how to deal with it.
Qiu Yuan also felt that his emotions were a little too revealing after taking pictures of the table, coughed twice, and then asked Xiao Liang: "Then this Qin Huacheng is still being held by your side now? Does anyone else know about this?"
"He's locked up in a place outside the city, and he hasn't been sentenced to death. It shouldn't be a big deal. But at this moment, his family is probably looking for someone everywhere." Xiao Liang responded: "According to what he said, the real participation There are only three people involved in this matter, if Ding Feng and Francis did not disclose the news to the outside world, then only the three of them would know."
Qiu Yuan added: "The Military Intelligence Bureau directly intervened in the investigation, and among the three, only Qin Huacheng knew about it."
Xiao Liang said: "You mean to seal Qin Huacheng's mouth and not let this matter leak out?"
Qiu Yuandao: "If such a mess is spread, it will definitely damage the official authority. I hope the matter will stop here. As for Francis and Ding Feng... let's focus on warning!"
If they want to be held accountable, neither Francis nor Ding Feng will be able to run away, but the problem is that the consequences of doing so are likely to do more harm than good to the authorities.Francis is an official supported by the Temporary Management Committee, and the Ding family also has a relatively large influence in the local business circle. If it wasn't for the rapid rise of the Chaosheng Trading Post with official support, it is very likely that the Ding family acted as a leader in Manila after the war. with similar roles.And this is probably the main reason why the Ding family regards Chaosheng Trading Store as an opponent and tries every means to investigate its details.
It is easy to arrest Francis and Ding's family, but this may make the social order that has just stabilized after the war tense again, especially those people who are still watching the new deal of Haihan with fear, and may have the idea of leaving the local area because of this .Moreover, the crimes committed by these two people are not serious crimes at all, and the authorities cannot publicly impose severe punishment on them, otherwise it would be unfair.
The most appropriate way to deal with it is to dismiss Francis and Qin Huacheng, investigate and deal with them, and impose heavy financial penalties on the Ding family.This Qin Huacheng is easy to say, he is just a detachment leader, but if Francis is removed, he will find someone to take his place in the middle of the day.Even if someone is found to take over the pot, the authority of the Western Management Bureau will be greatly reduced because of this. There is no reason to remove the top leader within a month after the opening of the new yamen.
Of course, these are only superficial reasons. Dealing with Francis will greatly damage Qiu Yuan's face. This is the fundamental reason why he quickly calmed down and prepared to deal with the matter simply after losing his temper.
Xiao Liang knew this well, and would not expose Qiu Yuan's thoughts face to face, but how Qin Huacheng kept his mouth shut, and how to word the warning to the other two, still had to be carefully considered. It takes a while.What the military should do has almost been done, and Qiu Yuan should take care of the rest.
"Then Qin Huacheng will hand it over to the Police Headquarters?" Xiao Liang asked, "Or should I let someone deal with it directly?"
Xiao Liang deliberately emphasized the tone in the second half of the sentence, testing Qiu Yuan's attitude.As for how the military will deal with it, he believes that Qiu Yuan can understand what he means without further explanation.
Qiu Yuan hesitated for a moment. He knew that Qin Huacheng was actually used as a gun in this case, and he probably didn't realize how much trouble his behavior would cause before the accident happened.But now the Military Intelligence Bureau has directly dispatched the man to take him back for interrogation. Even if Qin Huacheng is a fool, he knows that Chaosheng Commercial Store is at least backed by the military. If this kind of secret is leaked out, it will obviously affect Qiu Yuan's policy plan produce adverse effects.But there are probably only two ways to make Qin Huacheng shut up completely, either let him leave this place, or turn him into a dead person.
"His behavior has already affected national security, but he is not guilty of death, so he should be exiled to other places." Qiu Yuan finally relented a little and did not issue a killing order.
"Okay." Xiao Liang replied calmly.The life and death of such a small person is naturally irrelevant to him, but if Qiu Yuan said not to kill, then it is up to Qiu Yuan's opinion. After all, the security police are also under the jurisdiction of Qiu Yuan, and the military is not good at directly dealing with such people. Everything is dictating.
As for where to send the prisoners, the military has its own set of rules, so there is no need for Qiu Yuan to think about it.Haihan now has more and more colonies outside of Sanya, and there are quite a few places that can be used to exile prisoners. Almost every colony on the border of Haihan's territory has a large number of exiled prisoners of war and prisoners as hard labor.It's not bad that Qin Huacheng survived by luck, and exile is considered a very tolerant treatment.
After getting Qiu Yuan's decision, Xiao Liang took his leave and left. As for how to deal with the other two, he believed that Qiu Yuan had his own safe way and just waited for the other party's notification afterwards.
Qiu Yuan stayed alone in the office for a long time before he asked the secretary to notify Francis and Ding Feng respectively to come to the management committee.
Regarding what these two people did in private, after Qiu Yuan calmed down, he was actually not so angry. The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. What they did can be summed up as "self-interest "Two words.But if they don't beat them in time, these two people will probably become more and more courageous in the future, and sooner or later they will play out.
When Francis received the order from the Temporary Management Committee, he was dealing with the household registration of a Hispanic family. He was inexplicably flustered by the sudden summons.Although this meant being able to meet with senior Haihan officials, the other party did not explain the reason in the order, which gave Francis a faint sense of foreboding.But he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to the temporary management meeting, secretly praying that nothing would happen along the way.
"Mr. Francis, do you know why I specially called you here?" Qiu Yuan looked at Francis standing opposite him with rather playful eyes. He really wanted to see if this guy was still serious when facing him. Will continue to play tricks.If Francis still tries to fool himself by acting, then Qiu Yuan won't mind giving him some decent punishment.
After Francis listened to the translator's conveyance, he felt more and more uneasy.He didn't make any mistakes in his work these days, but he also didn't perform well. Qiu Yuan probably didn't call him here to take care of his daily work.As for the others, probably only the cooperation with Ding Feng and Qin Huacheng would arouse Qiu Yuan's interest.But most of these things are not visible, so how could he expose his shortcomings to Qiu Yuan.
"Then let me remind you." Qiu Yuan saw that Francis was expressionless and silent, and knew that this person might not have given up struggling in his heart, so he said to him again: "Before you dealt with a case of a Hispanic staff getting drunk and making trouble. Incident, I remember that incident and have not praised your actions in person."
Francis responded: "That's just my duty."
"What a duty to do!" Qiu Yuan said with a smile: "Find a group of people pretending to be drunks to create opportunities for you to brush your existence. You are very good! What happened to that matter, can you tell me now? ?”
There was a buzz in Francis's head, and cold sweat immediately broke out from his head.At that time, in order to attract the attention of high-ranking Haihan officials, he, Ding Feng and Qin Huacheng jointly planned a public security case, allowing Hispanic personnel to make trouble in Qin Huacheng's jurisdiction, and then he came forward to quell the disturbance on behalf of the Western Management Bureau.Afterwards, he really won the appreciation of Qiu Yuan because of this, so he finally had something to do in the Western Management Bureau, and he was no longer just a simple puppet director.
At that time, the three of them celebrated for a while, thinking that this plan had successfully deceived the trust of senior Haihan officials.But after many days, this matter was revealed by Qiu Yuan, and he brought up the old matter again at this time, obviously not to praise Francis.Falsely reporting public security cases to deceive superiors, as long as Qiu Yuan wants to impose sanctions, this crime is enough to make Francis a prisoner again.
"Boss, that matter... Ding Feng ordered me to do it!" Francis was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to deny that there was a ghost in it, but he just pushed the responsibility to Ding Feng who was not there.But he still didn't want to understand where the truth of this matter leaked out from.
"Ding Feng instructs you? He instructs you to do it and you do it. Don't you have a brain?" Qiu Yuan scolded, without saving any face for Francis: "What's going on, you're just doing everything right now Tell me clearly! Let me remind you, don't take chances, don't have any!"
Francis didn't know where Qiu Yuan's news came from, and how much he knew about the truth of the matter. After hearing the warning, he immediately dispelled the fluke in his heart.It is already a felony to lie once, but if you lie a second time, the felony may turn into a capital crime.
Francis didn't dare to hide any more at the moment, so he told the three of them how to calculate the matter, how to find someone to implement it, and how to report it afterwards, all of which were completely recruited.Of course, in his confession, he cleverly shifted most of the responsibility to Ding Feng and Qin Huacheng, and described himself as being confused for a while, hoping to get the appreciation of his superiors in this way. The confession obtained is similar in purpose.
While listening to the confession translated into Chinese, Qiu Yuan silently compared the interrogation records sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau, and gained a more comprehensive understanding of the incident at that time.At that time, he really did not expect that this security incident was artificially created by the investigators, and it was jointly concocted by the security police and officials from the Western Management Bureau.Hearing Francis's confession at this time, Qiu Yuan's anger, which had been calmed down a lot, rose again.
"I didn't give you the chance to re-enter the official position so that you could create such a gimmick to deceive me...Mr. Francis, you really let me down!" Qiu Yuan shook his head and said, "Then let's talk about other things Well, I thought you might have something else to tell me."
Francis swallowed hard, thinking to himself that the incident was so thoroughly revealed this time, one of the three parties must have been arrested before him, but he didn't know whether the unlucky one was Ding Feng or Qin Huacheng.
