The Rise of Manjianghong

Chapter 79 Can be done

In the suite of the Lambert Hotel, a young man in new black clothes paced back and forth in the living room of the suite. From time to time, he criticized his knuckles and muttered to himself. Finally, he sat down heavily on the sofa.

"Why?"

He frowned and said to himself again, puzzled.

"A arrest warrant has been issued. Why did your majesty send this secret telegram?"

If the dignitaries of the Paris political and business circles saw this scene, it would be difficult to imagine that they had come to France for a month and a half and conquered the French social community with their own demeanor. At the same time, they made the French realize that the officials of the Chinese Empire were completely different from those of the Manchu Qing Dynasty officials.

When he left Italy two months ago, Giovanni, who had just left office in Italy? Prime Minister Joliti told the French reporter.

"If there is any blessing for Prime Minister Morris, then I hope he can perform well in front of Minister Zhang."

The most fundamental reason why he is saying this is that when he was with Zhang Summit, he was an educated when he was born in the United States. The demeanor and demeanor made Giovanni's behavior not elegant enough, and even a little price drop, which made the Italian press laugh. Irony.

After Zhang Feng arrived in France, after having a lesson from the Italian Prime Minister, from the moment he met Zhang Feng, Morris behaved cautiously and even pursued it deliberately. In order not to let the French press mock him, Morris, who had just taken office, showed the demeanor of a "Western gentleman" everywhere, and even did not The young man with a "squisful demeanor" in front of him is an oriental.

The enthusiasm shown by stretching out his hand to wait to shake hands with Zhang Feng, or the hospitality shown by Morris taking his coat when they met, are all normal. However, inadvertently, he still showed timidity. In contrast, Zhang Feng, who behaved decently and naturally, accepted his "respect" inadvertently.

While the French press was disappointed with Morris's performance, the newspaper's comment on the Chinese Minister of Justice was that the judicial officials hidden in politeness were steel and ice. What do steel and ice mean? It's hard and cold. However, under his polite manners, you can't say anything.

For the sake of a diplomat, it can be regarded as a transformation.

But at this time, this "Oriental gentleman" who was sought after by the French press and worshipped by enthusiastic French girls did not have the demeanor of the past. At this time, he completely fell into an unprecedented contradiction.

"This is really a difficult problem!"

With a long sigh, he stood up and staggered to the door, trying to breathe some fresh air. He slammed a window and looked at the Seine River. Suddenly, he closed the window again, almost shattering the glass.

"The law is not allowed to interfere, isn't it?"

When he said this sentence to himself, he shook his head helplessly.

"Hey, why are you like an ungrown child? You are so naive. The law is fair, but there is also a plea bargain in the judiciary, isn't there?"

When he said a word, another voice came to his heart.

This is different. If you don't arrest him, it is undoubtedly a dereliction of duty! But your majesty's secret telegram!

He looked at the telegrams from the Ministry of Justice one after another.

"... let him go into exile overseas!"

He directly ignored the other contents of the telegram, but he could not forget this sentence. The reason why he could not forget it was that His Majesty's secret telegram was ostensibly for "political stability", but in fact, it was a horizontal interference in the judicial system.

If you follow your majesty's instructions, then if there is a first time, there will be a second time!

Judicial reading!

This is what he has been pursuing as the Minister of Justice, and he has been working hard for it. During the period of the ruling axe, what he won was the separation of the court and the local political axe. There is no relationship between the two. The court's budget comes from the state. The only threat to the budget is the ruling axe. All the expenses of the judiciary are It needs to be approved by the ruling axe.

Before he took the delegation on a visit, as a deal with the ruling party, the ruling government approved him to put forward the judicial reading power, and the most important thing was the reading of the budget. He skillfully used the contradiction between the ruling and other political forces, so that after the ruling government signed the throne, the decree, and the budget estimates proposed by the Ministry of Justice could not be deleted by the Consultative House. You can only pay attention to it.

The reading power of resources is the reading power of the judiciary, the reading power of the judiciary, the reading power of the court, and the reading power of the two, which ultimately leads to the absence of external interference, so that the law is relatively fair. Whether the law is fair or not is the last bottom line of whether the society is fair. If there is injustice in the judiciary, then the whole society cannot have any possibility of justice.

"Maybe...some people will laugh at you as an idealist?"

"Sometimes, idealists are also good, at least they dare to think about it. If they don't even dare to think about it, I'm afraid no one dares to do it!"

"Sometimes ideals compromise with reality!"

"Compromise? Everything can be compromised, but the justice of the law is uncompromising!"

The scenes of talking with His Majesty before leaving for the countries for inspection once again came to his mind.

"The law is uncompromising!"

While saying this sentence hard in his heart, he took a look at the telegram and finally sighed. Maybe this is the ideal and reality.

In reality, there are always various factors trying to interfere with the law, power and public opinion!

If China's judicial literacy has to pay a price... Let's start with me!

In the end, Zhang Feng made a decision. In any case, he must maintain the bottom line that the law is not allowed to interfere. Only the bottom line of the defense can be the bottom line of social justice.

"Officer Fang!"

He shouted outside the door, and the door of the living room was pushed open. A police officer in a Chinese police uniform came in. He was one of the inspectors sent by the General Administration of Police, and he was also one of the security leaders of the inspection team.

"This is an arrest warrant signed in China!"

"Arrest warrant?"

"I will hold a banquet at the embassy this evening, and then I will arrest Sun Wen in the embassy!"

When he said this, Zhang Feng knew that there was only one thing left for him now, that is, to coordinate with the French political axe to deal with this matter. He must escort Sun Wen back to China. The arrest in the embassy is in accordance with international conventions. The only question is whether the French judiciary will leave. After the embassy, he intervened in this matter.

The idealist always has courage beyond the imagination of others. He is like this, and for another person, the same is true.

"Mr., you have to leave!"

Wang Zhaoming looked at the gentleman in front of him and pleaded. An hour ago, when he left the Paris City Council to go to the toilet, an agent of the investigation bureau revealed a message to him. Sun Wen and himself were arrested by the Ministry of Justice for suspicion of the rebellion of the Shanghai Republicans. The head of the regiment held a banquet at the embassy. They would be arrested in the embassy, and then returned to the country, transferred to justice, and tried... Arrest, returned to the country, trial... Wang Zhaoming can imagine that once he went to court, the people of the investigation bureau would swear that Let yourself testify in court, even if it is perjury. As long as the husband does not escape, he will definitely be sent to prison, and what about himself? But he was accused of selling his husband.

For the young Wang Zhaoming, he knew what he would be at that time. Once he testified in court, his life would be over, but if he didn't testify... Some pictures came to his mind, and he would also be discredited in his life! At that time, how many people will listen to their own explanations?

testifying is also a discredited, and not testifying is also a discredited!

But now the investigation bureau has given him a chance to escape. No matter what their purpose is, as long as he escapes, his reputation will be maintained. As long as he does not go to court, he can... "Escape?"

Sun Yixian smiled bitterly. He glanced at the bustling streets of Paris and looked at the well-dressed foreigners.

It's not that he hasn't fled. Since he launched the Guangdong Uprising ten years ago, he has been in exile overseas. He has long been used to the life of exile abroad. If the Qing Dynasty wants to arrest him, he will not hesitate to choose exile in various countries, but what about this time? But he hesitated.

If there was no previous conversation with Jiro Akashihara, maybe he would have chosen to escape, but what about now? Mei Enping, his mind came to know the comrade in Japan. He not only accepted Japan's funds and weapons assistance, but even borrowed himself to launch an uprising. Overnight, the republican faction became the representative of the enemy and betrayal. I think the reason why they wanted to arrest them was probably because they found their letter from Mei Enping. Piece by piece.

Is there any evidence of treason in the letter? It seems not, but it was just the content of the two people discussing the republican system, except... A telegram from Mayn Ping came to his mind.

"... Recently, there may be a drastic change in China. At the time of the boundary, once the republic is determined, when Mr. is the president..."

Thinking of this sentence, Sun Yixian connected the two and realized that this was not Mei Enping's ideal words. This can be regarded as the connection between him and Mei Enping, and even the prosecution can use it as evidence in court, accusing him of betraying the enemy and betraying the country together.

If they do not appear in court, they may not judge themselves in absentia, and then present a series of evidence in court to prove that they have guided or even planned this riot. At that time, no one in the court will defend themselves, and all the evidence will point to Myself.

Even if you flee abroad, you will always bear the charge of "wartime communication with the enemy and betraying the country"! When Maynpin launched this uprising, did you think that the uprising would cause such a serious blow to the republicans? Perhaps at this time, comrades have been arrested by the police, and they will all face charges of "traying the enemy and betraying the country".

This crime is absolutely different from the rebellion of the Qing Dynasty. After the restoration of the Qing Dynasty, the people of this country hate Han J. In wartime, the people hated the enemy for betraying the country, armed riots, and attracting foreigners to participate in the riots. If they were burdened with this crime, then... After figureing out the key points, Sun Yixian took a look at Wang Zhaoming and then shook his head.

"No, not only can't we not escape, but we also have to take the initiative to return to China for investigation. Only in this way can we prove our innocence! If you escape, you will prove your guilt!"

"But sir..."

Hearing this, Wang Zhaoming was almost scared. What was he most afraid of? That is, the gentleman was sent to court, and now the gentleman is going to surrender himself, in court!

Maybe, he doesn't know yet. Yes, I want to tell him.

"Sir, this is a self-infed tiger's mouth. This may be the opportunity that Emperor Chen has been waiting for for a long time. If you don't leave, once you return to China, won't you throw yourself into the net? In case he..."

Sun Yixian waved his hand to stop Wang Zhaoming from continuing. He stopped and looked at the trees on both sides of the streets in Paris.

"If... if he kills me before going to court, then the people can see the real side of Emperor Chen! At that time, anyone who has the same knowledge will also know that this is a trial and a persecution! If you go to court..."

Sun Yat-sen lowered his head slightly and stopped in the shade of a French hanging bell tree.

"Those who are clear will be clear!"

After saying that, he accelerated his pace and walked in the direction of the Chinese Embassy in France. Instead of riding a carriage, he walked slowly, watching the gentleman's figure gradually elongated in the sunset. Wang Zhaoming, who was completely shrouded in fear, only felt a burst of cold sweat flowing down from his back.

Really... Do you really want to go back to China?

"I'm back home!"

In the face of this report, Chen Moran could hardly believe his eyes. When he sent the telegram to Zhang Feng, he was worried that he would not enforce the law impartially. There was only law and justice in the boy's eyes. Most of the time, he was not a qualified politician. Is it possible for an idealist to become a politician? Question mark

Out of worry about him, I asked Zha Zhiqing to come over, let him inform his people, and pass the news to the people around Sun Yixian. Now that he is abroad, as long as he leaves the location of the delegation, even Zhang Feng can't do anything about him, but the problem now is not mentioned in Zhang Feng's telegram, "Your Majesty, please fulfill it. It's a promise!", but more than two hours later, the telegram from the embassy, "Sun Yixian took the initiative to surrender!"

"Why do you have to come back? Didn't I let you go?"

Looking at the report that he would send members to escort Sun Yixian and others back to China in the telegram, Chen Moran shook his head helplessly and sighed. What did this man think? Isn't he used to exile? I gave him the best choice, but when it came to the end, he took the initiative to choose to return to China for trial.

The reason why I want him to go into exile is that, on the one hand, I don't really don't want to throw him in prison, but on the other hand, I don't want the trial to turn into a Dimitrov-style trial, which makes him make generous statements in the Leipzig trial court like Dimitrov, turning the court into revealing the truth and expounding. The forum of the Republican Program.

This is what I am most worried about. No one knows better than Chen Moran that those revolutionaries and idealists always have the ability to change from passive to active. If the trial becomes a joke, at that time, the whole country will be able to question the original hard evidence, and in the end, it will be a political axe!

We must not let this happen!

Otherwise... That idea just flashed by. Chen Moran still disdained to do so, not to mention that the whole country supports itself. Even if half of the people in this country do not support themselves, they can't do that. People's conscience always have a little bottom line, the minimum bottom line.

"If you want a fair trial, then I will give you a fair trial!"

When saying this, Chen Moran's face was extremely difficult to see. Maybe he hoped that the law could be fair and just, so that the people could use the law to protect their power, but when there was a conflict between the law and himself, God knew that everyone wanted the law to tilt to their side.

"Can you win this lawsuit?"

"This is a problem prosecutor!"

In the face of His Majesty's question, Cha Zhiqing directly kicked the problem to others. The Investigation Bureau is only responsible for investigating and searching for evidence. As for whether he can win the officials, it is the matter of the prosecutor.

Zha Zhiqing's answer stunned Chen Moran first, and then asked another question.

"Has the evidence been verified?"

"For now, our evidence is not hard evidence. Only a few correspondences and telegrams can prove the connection between the two, but most of them are their discussions on the republican system and the current system, and only a small amount of evidence can prove that he may be involved in this matter!"

His answer is very dissatisfied, even extremely dissatisfied. What kind of answer is this? If the evidence is not conclusive, what will a fair trial be? It will become a joke! He looked up at Zha Zhiqing.

"Continue to investigate, even if you dig three feet of the ground, you still need to find evidence! Do you understand?"

Evidence? What evidence was found to prove that he was not involved in the case, or that he was involved in some cases? A pun-like word, listening to Zha Zhiqing's ears made him vaguely understand your majesty's meaning, that is, if you need it, then make the evidence true! I can't find it... I can do it!

"Will it be shameless?"

After Cha Zhiqing left, such an idea suddenly came to Chen Moran's mind.

At this moment, the door of the office was pushed open. Ji Li, dressed in a light blue breast-length Confucian skirt, came in. There was a smile on her face. She saw her husband sitting there and frowned, as if thinking about something. Originally, she wanted to say something else. She walked to him and massaged his temples with both hands. .

"Are you still thinking about that?"

Ji Li vaguely guessed that it should be said in the newspaper. Sun Yixian voluntarily surrendered and will return to China to cooperate with the investigation of the judiciary in the near future.

"Hmm!"

"Actually, as an emperor, why do you worry about this kind of thing? In the face of the trial of the case, as the emperor, the only thing you need to do is to remain neutral!"

Innocent...too naive! I will only think to myself, but I will never say that.

"Wife, how is Duan Sha doing with him recently?"

Chen Moran quickly changed the topic. He didn't want his wife to get involved in these things.

"Mikheil may return to Russia recently. If...if he proposes to Duansha, will you oppose it?"
