Chapter 638 Split
The entire bribery case was still heating up. In fact, Emperor Cui Chang was also anxious, but he could not go back.
He is now busy signing bilateral currency swap agreements with two other countries, which is necessary to reduce dependence on the US dollar.
That's exactly why the case was dragged on.
Whether supporters or opponents, they all began to realize that something was wrong as time went by.
The media that had been building up momentum and "monitoring" Roh Wuxuan's family have almost disappeared, and no one is reporting on this matter anymore.
Opponents think that Roh Moo-hyun has colluded with others, while supporters think that the innocent have been cleared. Anyway, both sides have their own reasons.
The Supreme Prosecutor's Office, the Office of the Chief Prosecutor.
Lee Woo was having a great conversation with Chief Prosecutor Cho Chang-sik, and they stopped only when a prosecutor knocked on the door.
Zhao Changzhi glanced at the door and said with a little displeasure, "Come in."
"Chief Nim, you are looking for me," the prosecutor bowed respectfully.
"I asked someone to call you," Zhao Changzhi laughed, and the slight displeasure in his eyes disappeared. "What's the progress of Minister Lu's case?"
The prosecutor was stunned. This was the second time in the past month that Zhao Changzhi asked about the bribery case of Roh Wuxuan's relatives.
He glanced at Li You standing opposite Zhao Changzhi without leaving a trace, and knew why Zhao Changzhi asked this.
"Minister Lu's case is still a bit complicated, mainly because the investigation into this matter is not sufficient."
Li You shook his head in his heart. He could only give zero points for this answer.
After listening to what the prosecutor said, Zhao Changzhi spoke for a long time: "Didn't I tell you to quickly clear Minister Lu's name?"
"Is this how you tarnish Minister Lu's reputation?"
"No, Chief Nim," the prosecutor said with his head down, "It's just that the case is not actually about Minister Lu, but about Minister Lu's brother, wife, and nephew-in-law."
"So you are so slow?" Zhao Changzhi said coldly.
"It's our problem!" The prosecutor didn't dare to look up.
After telling the prosecutor again to speed up and not waste time, Zhao Changzhi let him leave.
"As Chairman Lee said, since Minister Noh's case has nothing to do with him, it will be much easier to resolve," Cho Chang-sik smiled again. "There are indeed two people in the Supreme Prosecutor's Office who work for Cho Tae-seop, but this is the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, and I am the chief. I will personally monitor this case for a while, so please rest assured, Chairman Lee."
"Okay," Li You stood up with a smile and extended his hand to Zhao Changzhi, "I won't bother the general any more."
Zhao Changzhi quickly shook Li You's hand and said, "It's what I should do. President Li, you don't need to thank me."
Li You didn't respond to his words. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. He just smiled and said, "Thank you for this time, General."
"Don't worry, you'll get everything you need."
"Haha..." Zhao Changzhi smiled happily and saw Li You out.
How could Roh Moo-hyun's bribery be considered as such? This is the real bribery.
In the car outside the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, Wen Zaiyin was not able to get out of the car, so when Li You got in, he asked, "Chairman Nim, how is it going?"
"Director Zhao said he would keep an eye on it personally, and Councillor Wen should go back and tell Minister Lu that they have been reinstated. They should stop imagining it and deal with Daying Group and Zhao Taixie well," Li You patted Wen Zaiyin's arm.
The car did not take the two back to the manor, but went to the Golden Gate Club instead.
This wasn't the first time Wen Jae-yoon had come here, but he was still very curious this time.
The Kinmen Club is quite famous in Seoul. After all, it is the place where Lee You meets important guests. It is said that the confidentiality and security measures are much higher than those of the Blue House.
In the private room where the food and drinks were prepared, Wen Zaiyin acted very generously. He took the porcelain bottle of wine, poured it for Li You, and then filled his own glass. Then he raised his glass and clinked it with others: "I have heard about Chairman Li's story of being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Today, I finally get my wish and drink with Chairman Li."
If Moon Jae-yoon drank the full glass of wine, his stomach would definitely get a little upset. Fortunately, Lee Woo didn't force him to finish it. He took a sip and gestured to Moon Jae-yoon, "Just drink normally, Councillor Moon, you don't have to do this."
Wen Zaiyin breathed a sigh of relief, but still sipped half a glass of wine and said with a smile: "I still have to thank President Li this time."
"Councilman Wen," Li Youxian picked up his chopsticks, "I have something to ask you."
"President Li, please speak."
"As you know, the Grand National Party and the New United Democratic Party are fighting fiercely in the National Assembly."
"What does Councillor Moon think?" There seemed to be something in the question. Li You said calmly, "I'm asking Councillor Moon because he is a member of Parliament after all. I think he should know more about the inside story."
“.”
Moon Jae-yoon frowned. At the beginning, the Grand National Party and the Grand Unified Democratic Party were ranked the first and second largest parties in Congress, but there were many small factions in between.
"The president mentioned that he hopes I will support the Grand National Party?"
Due to the constant confrontation and scandals between the Grand Unified Democratic Party and the Grand National Party, some lawmakers have begun to leave and join new small parties.
After all, although small parties are small, they can still share the benefits.
Moon Jae-yoon also has some knowledge of the relationship between the Grand National Party and Lee Woo.
After all, the two consecutive presidents were from the Grand National Party.
Cho Tae-seop, the leader of the Grand Unified Democratic New Party, is their current common enemy.
Especially the fact that Cho Tae-seop joined forces with the Daying Group to persecute Roh Moo-hyun had touched Moon Jae-yoon's bottom line.
This is also the reason why Wen Zaiyin did not express any objection, but instead took the initiative to ask whether he wanted to cooperate.
Li You smiled softly and raised his glass again. Wen Zaiyin also clinked glasses with Li You in time. "The Grand Unified Democratic New Party is a unified party after all. It is difficult for two factions with different political ideologies to get along harmoniously for a long time."
"Reformist Councillor Zhang Shuozhou," Li You told Wen Zaiyin about this ambitious guy, "He kept showing me his favor recently."
Wen Zaiyin suddenly realized what Li You meant. It seemed that Zhang Shuozhou was the key figure to split the Grand Unified Democratic New Party and weaken Zhao Taixie. He began to think that he could have a conversation with Zhang Shuozhou next time he saw him.
"Zhang Shuozhou," Li You reminded, "is not the same as you and Minister Lu. Councillor Wen should not take it lightly."
"Thank you for the reminder, President Li," Wen Zaiyin smiled brightly.
Wen Zaiyin began to slowly plan in his mind. No one would believe that a new party like the Grand Unified Democratic Party, which was a merger of multiple parties, was harmonious.
The original problem was how they could split it. Now that Li You has given a candidate, they can start thinking about further plans.
Li You achieved his goal and waved goodbye to Wen Zaiyin with a smile.
