Chapter 2322 Go to Wuzhou ([-])

A large steam armed boat was sailing on the West River, emitting black smoke and white steam.

It neither guards the fleet nor patrols the river bank at cruising speed.Starting from Sanshui Wharf, the fireman turned on all the firepower, raised the boiler steam, and drove fast all the way.
In the noisy cabin, there are two simple camp beds.Two shirtless men with only their trousers on were sitting opposite each other, flipping through documents spread out on the bed.

The window of the cabin was open, and the river breeze was blowing, but it could not eliminate the sweltering heat in the cabin at all.Steamboats on the Xijiang River in August are like tin ovens.

Chen Baibin dropped the document in his hand: "It can't be done, I have to go out to get some air, it's almost done."

Ji Xin also nodded: "I also feel too hot. I'm about to suffer from heat stroke." He said and put the documents into the confidential briefcase.Locked in the safe in the cabin.

The two walked out of the cabin and came to the front deck, where a canvas shed was set up, and several sailors were manipulating the Haqikaisi 37mm rotary gun, watching the river nervously.Seeing them coming out, the bosun immediately came over to salute.

"You continue to perform the mission, we are here to get some air." Ji Xin was a little dizzy and chest tight at first, but now he felt much better when the river wind blew on the deck.

Although there is an awning on the deck, the wooden deck is still hot.The sailors were sweating profusely, but they still wore summer overalls as required, and wore heavy steel helmets, but a sweat-absorbing towel was lined inside the helmets.

What a soldier.Ji Xinxin thought, we start from scratch, drag them out of their ignorance, hunger and cold, and train them into qualified soldiers.All the great achievements of the Senate must be accomplished by such ordinary people, but what about many of us?But they are only regarded as consumables that can be mass-produced.

He thought of the dying sick and wounded waiting to be delivered in Sanshui, and the piles of identity cards transported in sacks... It seems that the battle situation in these two Guangxi is not as easy as we imagined.

In fact, he has always had some hidden worries about the decision-making of the Senate.That is, the decision-making is too arbitrary.The personal emotions of the elders often affect the direction of the policy.In his opinion, it seems too early to go north, and it would be more ideal to accumulate strength a few years later.Of course, it's not that he doesn't understand that Beishang was actually stimulated by some external factors.The elders are generally inflated now, and they hardly suffer a bit.He also understood why some people who held the same views as him also supported going north, because the elders had already shown signs of failure in Lingao.This tragic past similar to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's entry into the "Little Paradise" to enjoy wealth and wealth is quietly repeating itself in Lingao.In Lingao City, those without ambition are content with enjoying themselves, while those with ambition are busy fighting for power.If a large-scale campaign is not launched and the machine of the Senate is accelerated, inertia and decay will sooner or later take away the vitality of the Senate.

From this point of view, it may not be a bad thing to fight in Guangdong and Guangxi for one or two years.At least get the elders moving.They don't have the time and energy to engage in internal friction.

However, the Wuzhou incident is bound to be another big tear within the Senate.Holding on to the railing, he silently thought about how to investigate when he arrived in Wuzhou.

Chen Baibin said: "Ji Ju..."

Ji Xin's current official position is the director of the "Special Investigation Bureau".In fact, this bureau is his own bureau, and there are no clerks or office space.Purely a treat.Usually he works in the judiciary.The main job is to provide judicial services for naturalized people and aboriginals, and sometimes guest judges, prosecutors and lawyers.

Because of his surname, it is not good for everyone to call him "Old Ji", and it is even worse to call him "Xiao Ji", so they simply call him "Ji Ju".

"What's the matter?" Ji Xin came back to his senses and asked.

"How should we proceed with the matter in Wuzhou this time?" Chen Baibin hesitated.Although he had participated in the investigation of the Hangzhou station, there was no complicated inside story of that business trip, whether it was the Hangzhou station or the Senate.Zhao himself was also quite cooperative. He followed the workflow assigned to him by Zhao Manxiong, standardized the operation, and successfully won the investigation and inspection work in Hangzhou.

This time it was very different.When he knew that the leader of the investigation team was Ji Xin, Chen Baibin knew that he had a troublesome matter - this person would not be invited to take part in ordinary investigations.

"There is a process for investigation work, you are not a recruit..." Ji Xin said.

"I'm not talking about how to do it, but..." Chen Baibin felt that he couldn't express the meaning correctly, and couldn't help scratching his head, "It's about what kind of caliber we should have to do it."

Ji Xin looked at the river, smiled silently, and said, "Okay, Xiao Chen, you understand this now. It seems that the Political Security Bureau really can train people."

Chen Baibin's face was a little red, and he argued: "It's not what you think, I just want to better grasp the spirit of the Senate."

"Xiao Chen, can I call you that?"

"Of course, I'm not yet 30."

"You are so young." Ji Xin smiled, and explained, "I really envy your youth. It is good that you want to master the spirit of the Senate, but I am afraid it will be difficult, because the current matter, the Senate There is no concrete consensus at all—and certainly no sense of the spirit of the Senate."

"But this case is very delicate." Chen Baibin was worried.Like Ji Xin, he had read the report of the Political Security Bureau on the Wuzhou Incident.

"The case is actually nothing subtle." Ji Xin said, "Elder Xie made a mistake, and he wanted to cover it up."

"That's right, the problem is: the secret report of the Political Security Bureau seems to be in the hands of many elders - not just us. I'm worried..."

"What are you worried about?" Ji Xin understood what he meant.The case in front of me is not complicated. There are too many people waiting to eat human blood. Once the conclusion is drawn, it will be used by all parties, and the members of the investigation team will be at the forefront.

"I'm afraid that after our report comes out, there will be a big debate in the Senate."

Ji Xin nodded: "It is inevitable."

"So I thought..."

"Want to come up with a conclusion that everyone is satisfied with?" Ji Xin said.

"I think avoiding unnecessary arguments is what the Senate needs most at the moment."

"Your idea is very good, but it's unrealistic." Ji Xin shook his head, "This matter seems to be a matter of Xie Erren alone, and there are many problems involved behind it. How can the two of us restrain the general trend? ? Impossible."

Chen Baibin was silent.He pondered for a while, originally he thought that Ji Xin had "fully understood the spirit of the Senate", but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Then we can only investigate based on facts?" Chen Baibin said, "Based on the facts."

"That's right." Ji Xin nodded, "The more difficult and complex the case, the more it must be based on facts. Only stating objective facts is the best way for our investigators to protect themselves. In conclusion, you can let others people do it."

"The thing I am most worried about now is that many people know the truth. Do we draw different conclusions? Do we report according to the report or according to our investigation? Xie Erren must have done a lot of preparatory work in Wuzhou. "

"Of course the report is based on our on-the-spot investigation. Otherwise, what are we sent to do?" Ji Xin said, "I understand what you mean. But we must forget the contents of this secret report when we go to Wuzhou. Everyone knows some things, but Everyone pretends not to know. Why should we know?"

"I know certain things, but I know I don't know certain things, but the elders know that I know certain things..."

"Haha," Ji Xin laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "You don't need to say this tongue twister. There is no washing powder in Wuzhou. Anyway, you remember: as long as that report does not exist, we will follow the instructions step by step. It is enough to carry out the investigation process based on the official report of the official report, and then report it truthfully.”

The big boat arrived at Wuzhou Wharf at noon, and Xie Erren went to the wharf to greet him in person.Three people come for a handshake of comrades and brothers.

"It's very hot along the way. In this summer, it's hard for you to come to Wuzhou in this iron shell! It's hard work!"

"It's all for work." Ji Xin said lightly, "Let's go to the city quickly, it's too hot here."

"Okay." Xie Erren said repeatedly, and immediately brought two small bamboo sedan chairs for two people to carry, "It's a little distance to the county government office. Sitting on this sedan chair saves effort and is cool."

Chen Baibin still hesitated, but Ji Xin got into the sedan chair calmly.Under the urging of Xie Erren, he got into the sedan chair.

Three bamboo silk sedan chairs were carried from the pier all the way into the city. Chen Baibin saw that although there were traces of war everywhere in the city wall streets, the streets were smooth and clean, and most of the shops along the streets were open.The complexion of the people is not bad either.Xie Erren's original impression of "indulging in pleasure" and "neglecting government affairs" that I originally expected in my heart is much less-no matter whether the scene on the street is whitewashed by surprise or not, it is a talent to have this execution ability anyway.

The palanquin carried them all the way into the Third President's Mansion, where Xie Erren cleaned up the small courtyard where he and Cai Lan used to live, for their business trip accommodation.Such a century-old house has a refreshing coolness, which is completely different from the outside world. As soon as the two walked in, they felt refreshed and their armpits felt refreshed.

"This place is nice." Chen Baibin looked around as he said, not only was the room clean and tidy, but also all kinds of stationery were readily available.There are also potted green plants, which add a bit of coolness.Although there is no fan and air conditioner, it is very comfortable to live in in summer.

"The bathroom is in the wing room. To be honest, the conditions are relatively simple, so let's take a shower." Xie Erren was a little too enthusiastic, "I prepared banana pajamas for you, which is very cool. We don't have ice here."
