Beiyang reactionaries

Wait for today's results.Today's matter is not a trivial matter. Several people know that once these places are swept away, a lot of big shots will definitely be involved.

So no one can leave work at this time.

"Tap-tap-"

While several people were waiting, someone had already arrived in the conference room quickly.Walking in front was Lang Boyu, Director of the Cabinet Office, followed by Weng Jingtang.

"Prime Minister."

After Weng Jingtang came in, he immediately greeted Duan Xun.

"Sit down. Talk about the result directly."

"Yes."

No time for pleasantries.

What Duan Xun wanted to see was the result of today's incident.

"Prime Minister, this time we focused on inspecting 56 brothels, casinos, and tobacco dens, and closed nine casinos and eleven tobacco dens..."

"That's not what we all want to hear."

Duan Xun interrupted Weng Jingtang's report.

He said directly: "Just tell me how many government workers were involved this time."

brothel?casino?Smoke house?

How could Duan Xun, a dignified cabinet minister, care about such a thing.Even if the casinos and tobacco dens in Beijing make a lot of money, there will be a lot of money in closing down the casinos and tobacco dens.It is estimated that there are millions or even tens of millions of funds easily.

But this little money is no longer enough for Duan Xun to pay attention to.

Duan Xun did not raid these places to make money.

The reason why Duan Xun has not left work yet and is still waiting for news is to hear how many people are involved in these matters.Especially wondering how many MPs got caught.

"Yes."

Duan Xun interrupted himself, but Weng Jingtang didn't show any expression.Immediately said: "Prime Minister, we have only conducted a preliminary screening of this operation. We have not yet had a complete statistics on how many government workers there are. But simple statistics have come out. 34 MPs were involved in this operation. 22 people, 12 people in the tobacco hall. And nine generals appointed by the Ministry of the Army, and thirteen professors in Beijing universities. Moreover, the seizure of eleven tobacco halls and nine casinos this time involves many generals who have already stepped down .However, the specific number of people involved still needs to continue to be investigated. Besides them, there are many government workers involved, involving some other ministries and commissions..."

"The latter matter, you will report it after confirming the accurate data. The members of Congress you arrested, the general of the Ministry of War, do they have solid evidence?"

"Yes. We all took pictures with cameras and recorded all the confessions, and we were caught on the spot. The evidence is absolutely solid. And in the past few years, politicians who visited brothels, went to casinos, and smoked opium, the police station There are a lot of files and a lot of evidence over there. There will be absolutely no problem in the chain of evidence."

"Okay. No fish slipped through the net?"

"Will not."

"Okay. Hurry up and sort out the list, as well as those photos and statements."

"Yes."

Duan Xun let out a long sigh of relief.

it is good.

Great.

It's even better to catch so many big names, especially more than 30 congressmen.Duan Xunyao's goal has basically been achieved.

"Prosecutor Weng, tell me. How should these people be dealt with?"

345 cleaning 4

"Prosecutor Weng, how do you see these people should be dealt with."

Duan Xun asked Weng Jingtang.

Weng Jingtang looked at Duan Xun, then thought about where this place was, and of course also thought of Duan Xun's purpose.But he still said directly: "Prime Minister, from the current laws of the Republic of China, it is actually difficult to question these people from the legal level, because there is no suitable legal clause to adapt to the current situation. Their actions did not violate the law. It is a big smoke The shop and the opium traffickers behind it are serious violations of the law and should be followed up."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

That's true of many things.

These people who visit prostitutes, these people gamble, and smoke opium should all be condemned.In particular, all of them are famous people, and it can even be said that they are the elites who should lead China in this era.These people are well-dressed outside, and they all talk and talk about morality.Such people should be condemned for whoring, gambling, and opium smoking.

But these are only moral aspects.Even these people themselves don't think there is any problem with this, but instead regard these things as glory.Because the laws of the Republic of China did not prohibit people from prostitution, nor did they say that those who participated in gambling should be tried by law.

And smoking opium.

Although the government vigorously bans smoking, this is generally aimed at those who deal in drugs and open smoking dens.Even in New China, opium addicts are only forced to quit opium, and they will not be punished legally.

In other words, it is difficult to punish them legally.

Weng Jingtang said one thing and one thing, and would not force them to find charges just because Duan Xun wanted to punish them.Although with Weng Jingtang's professional ability, it is very easy to find them a legal charge.But Weng Jingtang would never do that.

He can suppress his own future, offend these people, and arrest them.But Weng Jingtang's action was not for Duan Xun, so he would not accuse them just because Duan Xun wanted to punish them.

This is Weng Jingtang.

Duan Xun didn't blame him either.Because Duan Xun was going to use Weng Jingtang, he already knew Weng Jingtang's character.

So Duan Xun turned his head and said, "What do you think?"

"Prime Minister, we have always cracked down on opium. Last year, we devoted most of our energy to disaster relief, suppression of bandits, and improvement of various government agencies. We did not properly ban smoking. This caused some daring people to focus on the profits of the opium business. , I want to get huge profits from it, and the opium business tends to rise. Now I think it is necessary to take advantage of this opportunity to set off an upsurge of smoking bans across the country.”

Dai Kan immediately suggested to Duan Xun.

Duan Xun banned smoking in the Southwest back then. Although it had a political purpose, the intensity was unprecedented.How many people were arrested and shot by Duan Xun in order to ban smoking.

In Sichuan alone, nearly 4 people were shot to death for the ban on smoking.Not to mention the anti-smoking work in other provinces, more than [-] people were shot and killed.

Therefore, many gang organizations in the southwest call Duan Xun "Butcher Duan" in private.

Dai Kan was very clear about these things.Because after Duan Xun served as the supervisor of the Southwest Frontier Defense, the work of smoking ban was handed over to Dai Kan.At that time, Dai Kan served as the Assistant Office of the Southwest Frontier Defense and concurrently served as the Southwest Anti-smoking Supervision Office. He was in charge of the anti-smoking work in the Southwest provinces.

Know these things better than anyone else.

"Prime Minister, I also think what Premier Dai said is right. We have worked so hard to achieve the current results in smoking ban. But if this kind of thing is relaxed a little bit, opium will flood again. And some people are more courageous than each other. , dare to do anything to make money. Just look at Beijing. These people clearly know that the prime minister hates opium the most, but they still dare to open opium dens in Beijing. Some people even think that opium dens are what they talk about Place. For such people who have no law, we must deal with it hard. Whoever opened the opium den and who provided them with opium must be carefully investigated, and no one will be let go."

Yang Yongtai also echoed Dai Kan.

Duan Xun nodded.

Although today was supposed to discuss how to deal with these big figures who were arrested, these people who gathered today are, after all, members of the Standing Committee of the Cabinet.Discuss any topic at will, and it may become a new policy.
