Chapter 1699 Aftermath
For the heavy fine imposed by Qiu Yuan, Ding Feng was indeed heartbroken. This amount of money was almost equivalent to having the Ding family work for nothing for a year, and all their income was used to pay the fine to barely make up for it.But after accepting the fine, Ding Feng no longer has to worry about the previous incident.Qiu Yuan made it very clear that as long as he accepted the punishment, he could let the past go. This attitude was far beyond Ding Feng's expectation.Of course, if he dared to commit another crime, it would not be just a fine, and the entire Ding family might have to be removed from Manila.
As for what role Francis played in this matter, and what Qiu Yuan did to him, Ding Feng didn't ask right now, and he didn't dare to ask again.If it was something that he should know, he believed that even if he didn't ask, Qiu Yuan would take the initiative to bring it up, but since the other party didn't bring up Francis to talk about it, then he wisely didn't mention it.But Francis was able to leave safely after meeting Qiu Yuan, which at least showed that he did not hide from Qiu Yuan what he had done before, otherwise Francis would have been ordered to be arrested and imprisoned on the spot for Qiu Yuan's purpose of summoning them.
As for the situation of the other party involved, Ding Feng recalled the previous conversation with Qiu Yuan, only to realize that the other party did not seem to mention Qin Huacheng's name on his own initiative. He thought that this person was the informer, so he only regarded himself and Francis as tigers. hit.How could he have guessed that although Qin Huacheng was the one who made the report, Qin Huacheng was the most unlucky of the three.Qiu Yuan's punishments for these two people were mainly warnings, but Qin Huacheng, who had no background and influence, was sentenced to exile. Maybe he would never have the chance to return to Manila in the future.
Of course, to Ding Feng, Qin Huacheng's whereabouts didn't really matter. Even without Qin Huacheng, relying on the connections and financial resources of the Ding family, it wouldn't be too difficult to find another Zhang Huacheng or Li Huacheng in the future.What Ding Feng is more concerned about right now is how to deal with himself in the future and how to deal with the relationship with Francis.
With such a big incident, no matter whether Francis has betrayed himself or not, Ding Feng dare not trust him 100% anymore.In the future, the two parties may continue to maintain the relationship of in-laws, but it is impossible to sit together and plan some big moves like before.If this is caught by the temporary management committee again, Ding Feng hardly dares to imagine the consequences.
The restless Ding brothers and sisters finally waited until Ding Feng came back safe and sound. Naturally, they were overjoyed and hurriedly welcomed him home. But after listening to Ding Feng's story, the three brothers and sisters also fell into a brief silence.Of course they don't want their family to be severely punished by the government, but the Ding family did benefit because of Ding Feng's transgressive behavior. There is really nothing to say.But in this way, the Ding family will probably have to live a tight life for a year and a half in the future, and they have to be even more twitchy in normal times, so they can't be caught by the government for any other tricks.
"Father, at the brother-in-law's house, do you want to go and say hello?" Ding Pingsheng asked cautiously.
Ding Feng shook his head and said: "It is not appropriate to contact his family at this time, we will talk about it after the news has passed. If the father is not wrong, his family is probably not at peace at this time. I am afraid that no one who is involved in this matter can fully understand And retreat!"
Just as Ding Feng thought, when Francis returned home, he ordered all visitors to be turned away, and then called his son to the study for a long talk.As the planner and participant of the recent series of incidents, even if Francis pleaded guilty, it is impossible to completely avoid punishment afterwards.Although Qiu Yuan considered various factors and did not remove Francis from the position of director of the Western Management Bureau, it was impossible to reprimand him and settle the matter.
Qiu Yuan's punishment for him was to ask Francis Jr. to leave Manila, and the specific destination was arranged by Haihan officials, and Francis remained in his current position.Francis understood what Qiu Yuan meant, that he wanted to take his son as a hostage, but Qiu Yuan promised him that he would send little Francis to a more prosperous place in Haihan, not a difficult environment of exile nature, and would It is guaranteed that little Francis has no worries about food and clothing, a stable livelihood, and the freedom to communicate with his family.After Francis' term of office expires, they can reunite their father and son and choose their own future destination.
To be serious, this is not even a punishment. To some extent, it may be a rare opportunity for little Francis.Of course, whether he can seize this opportunity depends on little Francis' own fortune.
Francis has been in the officialdom for many years, so he is naturally aware of this potential opportunity.Although Qiu Yuan's purpose is to make him fearful, so as to ensure that he will not make mistakes again during his official career, but since he has the opportunity to let his son fight for a background, Francis is not the kind of person who can't afford to let him go I agreed, and then went home to teach my son face-to-face instructions, so that he can prepare for the changes in the living environment in the future.
"Leave Manila? Go live in Haihan Country? But I know almost nothing about Haihan Country..." Little Francis still found it difficult to accept this sudden arrangement.He is not a person who seeks to make progress. If it is only an optional path, then he probably will not choose to leave Manila to live in a foreign country, but his father also made it very clear just now. A disciplinary measure, and if he is unwilling to leave Manila, there will be prison time awaiting his father.In contrast, it was of course more cost-effective to accept this kind of punishment. He couldn't just watch his father be arrested and imprisoned.
But when he went to a completely strange country, he would no longer have his father's protection and guidance by his side. Little Francis felt that this arrangement was full of unknown risks, and he was still reluctant to accept such a situation out of instinct.If he had a choice, he would rather stay in Manila, even if he was just an ordinary person, at least he could feel more at ease.
Francis didn't think so. Although he was a little bit reluctant, but after all, perhaps Qiu Yuan's arrangement was the most beneficial result for his father and son. His years of military career made him more accepting of parting than ordinary people, even if Even if it's his own son, he can still be hard-hearted and arrange it.
"Don't forget that Manila is also the territory of the Haihan Kingdom... the specific situation, you can learn about it after you go there." Francis was not shaken by his son's hesitation in the slightest, and still insisted that he accept the arrangement.
Little Francis didn't dare to disobey his father, so he changed the subject and said, "Then shall I go alone? Maybe I should bring my wife with me."
"About your wife... To be honest, I don't know how to deal with the Ding family. I don't know if your wife can go with you." Francis immediately thought of the scene where he met Ding Feng in the corridor. What is Ding Feng's situation at this moment?He didn't dare to think about it, because he had talked with Qiu Yuan before, and he had unobtrusively shifted the responsibility for many things to Ding Feng. It might not be so easy for the Ding family to escape safely.
"You avoid suspicion these two days. Don't go to Ding's house. When the situation stabilizes, I will try to find out about the situation of Ding's house." Avoid getting your son involved.
The two old foxes both chose to suspend contact with each other temporarily, so as not to be thought by the superiors that they were still in contact with the wind, and at the same time to avoid being implicated by the other party as much as possible.They were not sure whether the other party had escaped by betraying themselves, but they also knew that their handling of this matter was not clean, and they poured a lot of dirty water on the other party.Before the situation became clear, they didn't want to act rashly to contact each other.
Why did Qiu Yuan want to investigate their small group, what link went wrong, and whether it was related to the recent calculation of Chaosheng Commercial Store, they didn't dare to think about the connection any more.It's best not to let them hear about the "tide rise" anymore, and the farther away from this broom star, the better.
As for the real unlucky Qin Huacheng in this matter, it seems that he has been forgotten. Except for his family, no one cares about his whereabouts at all.When Francis and Ding Feng escaped successively, Qin Huacheng was still detained in the secret place controlled by the Military Intelligence Bureau outside the city.It wasn't until Xiao Liang's order was conveyed that Qin Huacheng's fate finally came to a conclusion.
"Qin Huacheng, wake up!" The expressionless guard kicked Qin Huacheng who was sleeping on the floor: "Your sentence has come down."
When Qin Huacheng heard the latter sentence, he immediately got up and looked at the guard expectantly.
The guard took a step back to get out of the way, and another Haihan officer came up and said in a deep voice: "Qin Huacheng, the following is the sentence pronounced on you by the Manila Provisional Management Committee, you heard clearly!"
Although Qin Huacheng was already mentally prepared to be sentenced for what he committed, the result of the sentence still caused him to collapse instantly.He committed dereliction of duty, abuse of power, accepting bribes, and endangering national security.However, Nian showed repentance after the incident, and specially reduced the ten years of hard labor to three years. The sentence will take effect from the day of judgment, and the place of exile is tentatively designated as Xingdao in the South Sea.
Three years of hard labor, and the place of serving the sentence was overseas, the punishment far exceeded Qin Huacheng's expectations.He originally thought that he was meritorious in reporting and exposing, and at most he would lose his job as a security policeman, but he didn't expect to receive a severe sentence of exile.As for where the Star Island in the South China Sea is, he didn't know at all. At this moment, he was only thinking about how to reduce the punishment, and whether he could think of a way at home to change the judgment of the Temporary Management Committee.
"Master Jun, can it be convenient for the villain to meet his family?" Qin Huacheng asked pitifully.
The officer shook his head and said, "No. Regarding your situation, we will inform your family. Don't think about too many things, and set off early in the morning the day after tomorrow."
Qin Huacheng hurriedly asked again: "Master Jun, where is South Sea Star Island? How far is it from Manila?"
The officer responded, "Star Island in the South my country Sea is an important place on the southern border of our country. It happens to be separated from Manila by the entire South China Sea. As for the distance...it's about five thousand miles!"
Qin Huacheng almost fainted when he heard this. The farthest place he has traveled since he was born is only a few dozen miles away from Manila Bay. He couldn't even imagine how far it was five thousand miles away.What kind of situation such a distant place will be like, whether you will go there to serve three years of hard labor, and whether you will be able to leave alive, all of this is unknown.Qin Huacheng suddenly realized how much he had stumbled this time, and it might have cost his entire life.
Of course, Qin Huacheng didn't know that the main reason he was sentenced to exile was because he knew the details of the Chaosheng Trading Store, and the officials didn't want more people to know the background of the Chaosheng Trading Store. This secret must continue to be maintained. .Otherwise, based on the things he committed, at most he would be sentenced to serve his sentence locally, and he would not be exiled to a place as far away as Xingdao.If he knew that both Ding Feng and Francis had returned home safely and were not sentenced to serve prison terms, he would be even more angry to vomit blood.
But there is nothing to be done about it. If the Temporary Management Committee imposes severe punishment on those two people, it will definitely affect the local social stability, and there is nothing to be afraid of when dealing with such a small person as Qin Huacheng. It's already his fate.The Temporary Management Committee needed the local social order to continue to be stable, and Qin Huacheng had to be sacrificed.
That night, a commissioner from the Police Headquarters visited Qin's family and announced to Qin Huacheng's family the judgment of Qin Huacheng by the temporary management.This was also a sudden blow to the Qin family. He was obviously a police officer of the security police before, but suddenly became a prisoner for a series of crimes, and was directly sentenced to such a severe sentence as exile overseas.The Qin family tried to get more information about the case from the Police Headquarters, but they were all blocked by the reason that "the matter involved national security". As for the request to see Qin Huacheng, they were also sternly rejected, which can be described as miserable .
The Qin family is not considered to be a very influential family in Manila. Although the eldest son Qin Huaming also entered the Haihan Yamen to work, the clerical work of the Immigration Department is not as good as that of Qin Huacheng's security police detachment leader. In such a situation, there is basically no place for strength.After a busy day of running around, the family searched all the connections they could find, and finally found out that Qin Huacheng would be sent overseas to serve his sentence the next day. At most, we could meet at the port. .
So in the short time when Qin Huacheng was escorted to the pier to board the ship, he finally saw his family before leaving Manila.It's just that the soldiers who performed the escort task didn't give them a chance to talk, and pushed him onto the boat.
