Chapter 704 Threats and Compromise
"So, what do you want?" Minister Kong asked without changing his expression.
"Give me money, and give it monthly."
"What if I don't give it?"
"You don't have to give it. When the time comes, I will just lose face and be looked down upon by others because of this, but some people will have to bear the vengeance of public and private, instructing subordinates to ask for bribes, and withholding funds from the military technical room for no reason, and..."
"And what?" Minister Kong asked.
"Fornicating with the Japanese invaders!"
"It's ridiculous. As the finance minister of the national government, if I have an affair with the Japanese invaders, how will the military expenses needed for the national army's frontline war come from?" Minister Kong was furious, "Come here, beat this arrogant person out of here. "
When the attendant and adjutant at the door heard this order, he pushed the door open with two guards and rushed in. He immediately grabbed Luo Yao.
"Minister Kong, don't you want me to finish my sentence?" Luo Yao stood there, motionless, and said calmly.
"I don't want to listen to people like you, Xiao He, please get them out!" Minister Kong pointed to the door and ordered.
"Yes, Minister!"
"Minister Kong, Lin Dongchuan colluded with Japanese spies and smuggled banned materials and D-products to harm the people of the country. Could it be that you are the biggest mastermind behind the scenes?" Luo Yao chuckled.
"You, what did you say? Say it again?" Minister Kong was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't afford this crime. The most hated thing in the country now is the traitor and traitor, and if the traitor Wang is planning to establish the puppet If the news of his collusion with the Japanese invaders broke out during the war with the government, what would be the consequences?
He didn't dare to imagine that no one would be able to protect himself.
"I'm just a wild and rebellious person, and what I said cannot be trusted. I think it's better for me to get out of here." Luo Yao dragged the two guards and walked out without looking back.
"Stop, Xiao He, stop Deputy Director Luo!" Minister Kong was anxious. If he really let people go, if the other party really caught some evidence, it would be over.
"Deputy Director Luo, stop for a moment." Deputy He quickly stepped forward and stretched out his arm to stop Luo Yao at the door.
"Adjutant He, can you only enter and not exit Minister Kong's official residence?"
"No, no, our minister still has some questions to ask you. Please be patient and wait for a moment." Adjutant He was also in trouble, and finally found an excuse.
"Deputy Director Luo, I was impatient and spoke a little too harshly just now. Please don't take offense." Minister Kong came over and reluctantly tried to persuade me.
"Minister Kong's words are serious. You are a veteran of the party and the country. How dare I take offense." Luo Yao said without mercy.
"Come, please sit down, Xiao He, make a cup of tea and come over!"
Come back and sit down again.
Adjutant He made a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of Luo Yao.
"Deputy Director Luo, please moisten your throat, let's continue talking." Minister Kong tried his best to smile.
"Thank you, Minister Kong." Luo Yao just pretended, picked up the tea cup, opened the lid, blew on the floating tea leaves, and put it down in a blink of an eye.
Even if there was nothing wrong with this tea, he would not dare to drink it.
"Minister Kong, what do you want to know?" Luo Yao turned his head directly. Minister Kong asked him the same question just now.
"Deputy Director Luo just said that Lin Dongchuan colluded with Japanese spies?" Minister Kong asked.
"This matter is still under investigation, but there are already some clues." Luo Yao replied calmly.
There are some clues, which means there is some evidence. Whether it is true or false, Minister Kong does not dare to bet. If it turns out to be true, it will be difficult for him to remove himself.
"Is that true?"
"Of course, framing is a serious crime. I don't dare to deceive you, Minister Kong." Luo Yao nodded slightly. Lin Dongchuan and Ye Chuan collaborated in smuggling and selling D products. This is a fact. There is nothing wrong with suspecting him of colluding with Japanese spies. Who knows if he already knows Ye Chuan's identity?
If he knew Ye Chuan's identity, then colluding with a Japanese spy would be a proper charge. If he didn't know, his crime was not trivial. If he was really investigated, he should be thrown into jail.
"How come Lin Dongchuan is related to a Japanese spy? Deputy Director Luo, can you please stop thinking that this director is easy to deceive?" Director Kong suddenly realized that the way he was talking to Luo Yao was not quite right. It seemed that the host and guest were in different places.
"Director Lin Dongchuan was involved in a case of smuggling contraband and D products. Behind this case, there is an extremely close relationship with the secret organization of Japanese espionage in the mountain city. This evidence is completely conclusive. If it weren't for Director Lin in the past two days, I don't know where he is, but we are ready to take him away for questioning." Luo Yao said, "If Minister Kong knows where Director Lin is, you can give him a message to surrender and accept the investigation. If we find out the facts, we may be able to receive leniency.”
"How do I know where he is?" Minister Kong denied.
"I think you don't know either. Some people here are greedy and will do anything for a little money." Luo Yao pointed at Sang and scolded Huai.
Minister Kong had seen it after all, and his face was unstable: "Deputy Director Luo said that if Lin Dongchuan is really related to a Japanese spy, I will not let him go."
"Everyone knows that Lin Dongchuan has almost become Minister Kong's son-in-law. If you are involved because of this relationship, it will be no small matter. Therefore, this case is currently being handled in a low-key manner... "
The meaning of Luo Yao's words is very clear. Whether you are low-key or high-profile depends on your attitude, Minister Kong.
If you insist on holding on to the funds and refuse to give it, you can, let's just sit on the donkey and read the songbook. We'll see, we don't have any chips in our hands.
Then we'll see who is more unlucky.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. This is not a road trip in the first place. Sooner or later they have to go their separate ways, and he doesn't care at all.
"Deputy Director Luo, how about I write you a note and you go to the Ministry of Finance tomorrow to collect the funds? This is considered a special case. What do you think?"
"Minister Kong, you have to follow the rules in everything. I can't just let you go through the back door just because I'm here to see you. If word spreads, it will also have an impact on your reputation." Luo Yao said, "We should follow the rules of the approval and release process. "
"That's fine, but how far are you in the approval process?" Minister Kong didn't expect Luo Yao to say this and not give him any room.
"The last step is just a matter of signing, Minister Kong," Luo Yao said.
Special funds are under the personal control of Minister Kong, and if they cost a penny, they must be approved by him before they can be released.
"Okay then, you can send it over tomorrow and I'll sign it for you and approve it!"
"No need to wait for tomorrow, I brought the documents here." Luo Yao took out a document from his pocket, opened it, and placed it in front of Minister Kong.
Minister Kong was very embarrassed. There were many people signing and sealing the document. Obviously, the money could have been distributed a long time ago.
It was just being delayed and not being given.
Signed and stamped with Minister Kong’s private seal. (This is a special fund, so the official seal of the Ministry of Finance cannot be used, only his private seal)
"Thank you very much, Minister Kong. I can get the money tomorrow." Luo Yao refolded the document and put it away, "Minister Kong, if you don't mind, I'll take my leave now."
"Okay, Xiao He, send Deputy Director Luo off for me." Minister Kong looked a little strange, but he restrained himself and ordered Deputy He.
"Deputy Director Luo, please come this way."
…
As soon as Luo Yao left, Minister Kong's face instantly darkened. He had never been so threatened by anyone in his life.
This time, he actually let a young man take care of it.
If he doesn't compromise, the price will be quite high. First of all, people said that he has a chance to see his brother-in-law.
That is, the person with the most power in the National Government now.
It's nothing. Even if he files a complaint, based on the relationship between their brothers-in-law, he can only scold himself a few times, so it's not a big problem.
The problem is, what this kid said next is a big deal, even though he doesn't believe Lin Dongchuan has the courage.
But there are lessons learned from the past.
Lin Dongchuan was tricked by a spy once in the past. Regarding the "Viper" team, the general manager of Dongchuan Company turned out to be a spy and became his trusted subordinate.
This time, they actually got into trouble again. These Japanese spies are really good at picking people. Why didn't they look for someone else but him?
Once others believed that he was unknowing and innocent, but what about the second time?
This kid is not said to be smart. At first I thought he was pretty good, he could please his daughter, and he had a bright mind.
Looking back now, why do I feel less and less interested in it the more I watch it?
"Go, call Lin Dongchuan over here!" The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he called his close secretary and gave the order.
…
"Inform Lao Cao to release those who should be released, and to send people to keep an eye on Kong Yuan. If Lin Dongchuan comes out, find out where he is hiding. Don't arrest people yet." Luo Yao came out of Kong Mansion, got in the car, and ordered Yang Fan .
"Understood." Yang Fan didn't ask any more questions and drove directly back to Huangjiaoya and Liu's Garden.
"It's just a meal, why are you back so late?" Gong Hui came over as soon as she returned to Liu's garden.
"I stopped by Fanzhuang on the way." Luo Yao chuckled.
"Did you go to see Minister Kong?"
"I almost didn't see it, but I did see it later." Luo Yao took out the document allocating funds for the military technical room signed by Minister Kong and placed it in front of Gong Hui.
"Is this signed?"
"I saw it signed by him with my own eyes. It also has his private seal on it. It can't be fake. I'll get the money back tomorrow. You should be relieved now." Luo Yao chuckled.
"Can it be fully allocated?"
"Don't you dare to give me the full amount, hehe!"
"Lin Dongchuan was brought back to Kong Yuan by Miss Kong Er. He is probably hiding. What are you going to do next, compromise like this and let him go this time?" Gong Hui asked. Luo Yao went to see Minister Kong and took the When the signatures came to approve the funding allocation, a deal must have been made, otherwise, the news coming from the Ministry of Finance would not be so good.
"In order to protect his own face, Minister Kong will definitely protect Lin Dongchuan. At least, the Kong family has no intention of giving up on Lin Dongchuan yet, otherwise, he will not compromise with me." Luo Yao analyzed.
"If the funding problem is solved, things will be easier to handle." Gong Hui said, her worries finally came to an end.
"Brother Yao!"
"Come in."
"Lao Cao just got the news that Xiao Meihong is dead." Yang Fan opened the door and came in, reporting.
