Chapter 106 Authority Challenged (First Update)
The Minister of Finance didn't care. With the director around, he was no longer afraid of the deputy director Du Ke.
"Deputy Director, this cannot be done," said the minister.
"What can't be done? Is there no money in the account or something?" Du Ke said coldly.
The minister just told Luoton in front of the director that he had no money, and that was because he was cooperating with the director.
Of course, I can’t say that in front of Du Ke now. Du Ke certainly knows whether there is money in the account or not.
And it is impossible that there is no money at all in the bureau’s account. It is not a grassroots police station.
"Deputy Director, we need to seek the Director's opinion on this matter," said the Minister.
Hearing this, Du Ke sneered and said, "Are you using Chief Yege to pressure me?"
"I dare not." The minister said hastily.
"You're so brave! I think you're very courageous." Du Ke stared at him and said coldly, "You should know the new policy announced by the Special District Police Station yesterday. The Harreg Police Station's jurisdiction is so unstable, and you don't want to provide financial support, but instead deduct all kinds of money. I have reason to suspect that you secretly embezzled the funds."
"Deputy Director, I didn't do that. You can't accuse me wrongly." The minister was anxious.
He can't bear it if this big hat is put on him.
"Then allocate funds to the Harreg Police Department." Du Ke shouted.
"I have to ask the director for instructions." The minister took a deep breath.
Du Ke is now using the orders from above to put pressure on him, and he can't stand it anymore.
Moreover, this kind of thing can only be suppressed by the system department through the director, after all, his own rank is a bit low.
Seeing that Duko didn't say anything, the minister called Sabbi's cell phone.
"Yes, yes, I understand." The minister quickly hung up the phone.
The chief instructed him to allocate funds to the Haragu Police Department.
There was no way, Du Ke was in the right now, and even the director didn't want to make a big deal out of this.
After all, the district director had just arrived. If his subordinates did not carry out his initial orders well, then his people would probably be made an example of.
Saby did cooperate with Leather and the others, but that doesn't mean he didn't think about himself.
Moreover, it’s not that the Harreg Police Department is not willing to allocate the funds, they just want to delay it a little longer.
The current situation does not allow it, so there is no problem in sending it earlier.
As for Leser's explanation, Sabi will also mention the difficulties on his side.
Sabi was a little surprised that Duko suddenly dared to go against him.
When he first came to the police station, Du Ke was quite strong, but after several battles, he now had the upper hand and Du Ke became much more low-key.
I didn't expect him to jump out at this time, and for Luoton? In fact, he had guessed that the person behind Luoton was most likely the director of the special zone.
He asked someone to find out, and he knew that when Rotun was in Mumbai, he was considered Pirando's subordinate, although there was a big difference in their ranks.
But we can still get some clues from the scene when Rotun took office, which is definitely related to Pirando.
Of course, he didn't think Pirando would think much of Rotten.
Again, the level difference is too big.
This is not just Sabi's idea. Anyone who can guess the relationship between Rotten and Pirando basically has the same idea.
So everyone knows that Rotten and Pirando have a certain relationship, but it is obviously impossible to say how strong this relationship is.
And there are people behind Sabi. Of course, the power of the police cannot be compared with that of Pirando, the district chief, but it is at the government level.
For example, he now has the support of the forces behind Leuser.
With the support of the government, he is not afraid of giving Rawdon a hard time, after all, Rawdon is under his direct jurisdiction.
"Deputy Chief, I will immediately allocate the overdue funds of the Harreg Police Department." The minister received the chief's instruction, so there was nothing more to say and he just sent the man away first.
"Is just the overdue funding enough?" Du Ke asked.
"Deputy Director, I don't understand what you mean." The minister asked a little puzzled.
"The conditions of the Harreg Police Department fully meet the requirements of the new policy and should be treated with the highest standards. It is only natural to reimburse the overdue funds. Shouldn't there be additional rewards?" Du Ke said, "Three months' salary as a reward."
"Ah?" the minister exclaimed.
"Do you have any objections?" Du Ke stared at the minister coldly.
The minister didn't expect Du Ke to be so strong today, but if he really wanted to pursue the matter now, once the issue of the Harreg Police Department's wage arrears became a big deal, he would definitely be the one to bear the responsibility in the end.
At that time, the director may not necessarily speak for me.
He might even lose his position as Finance Minister, which is a lucrative and important position.
So he hurriedly said: "You are right, you deserve a reward, then give me three months' salary as a reward."
"Thank you, sir." Rawdon shouted.
Under Duko's surveillance, the minister did not dare to do anything tricky and quickly transferred the funds to the account of the Harreg Police Station.
Luoton also called Huba and asked him to go to the bank to confirm.
After Rawdon and the other man left, the minister felt his back was soaked with sweat.
After thinking about it, he called Director Sabie and reported the situation.
When Saby found out that he had given him three extra months' salary as a bonus, he started scolding him.
Three months' salary was not much, and Sabie didn't really care.
What he cared about was that his authority was challenged. By doing this, wasn't Du Ke slapping him in the face? He took note of it and decided to find a chance to teach Du Ke a lesson.
I saw that he had been keeping a low profile during this period, so I didn't bother him. I didn't expect that he would jump out first. He is such a fool.
"Rodun, I can't say I know everything about the situation in Haragu Township, but I know a lot. I believe I can help you a little." After returning to Du Ke's office, Du Ke was ready to tell Rodun what he knew. "It's basically difficult for you to pacify that group of Dalit villains. It's too complicated. The main reason is that the Mindis Mountain Coal Mine cannot be solved..."
Roton listened very carefully. After all, Duko had spent most of his life in the Diwa District and was familiar with the situation at the grassroots police stations. It could be said that what Duko said helped Roton to better understand the complex situation in Harreg Township.
The coal mine involves many stakeholders, including local ones, those from the sub-districts and counties, and even some bigwigs from the special district are involved.
According to Duko, initially the Namindis Hills were the gathering place for the main Dalits in Haragar Township, but after the coal mine was discovered, these Dalits were driven out.
Later, this villain force appeared.
In their view, the coal mines belonged to them because they had been on that land and wanted to take it back.
"Roden, come back after lunch, I'll treat you," Du Ke said.
"Then I won't be polite." Luoton said with a smile. Of course he would not refuse Du Ke's kindness.
"Don't be polite with me. Oh, it's almost time. Come on, I'll take you to a restaurant with delicious food." Du Ke said.
"I have another friend who went out to buy medicine. She should be back soon," said Luoton.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Your friend? Then come over together." Du Ke said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll contact her." Roton called Lisa.
The Diwa Division is headquartered in Diwa Township, which is much more prosperous than Hareg Township, with a complete range of shops and buildings.
Of course Lisa had been here before and knew where the pharmacy was.
Following her guidance, the jeep soon stopped in front of a pharmacy.
"Wait for me." Lisa said.
"Yes, miss." The two armed policemen said immediately.
They were not fools. They could see that this beautiful lady had a close relationship with Director Mahesh, and they did not want to offend her.
Lisa entered the drugstore and quickly bought the medication her father needed.
When she just walked out of the pharmacy, a man in his thirties suddenly came up to her.
"Hey, young lady, do we know each other?"
Lisa glanced at him and said coldly: "I don't know him. I think you got the wrong person."
"No, no, my memory is very good. I must have seen you somewhere before. May I ask your name, young lady?" the man said with a grin.
Lisa frowned. She understood clearly that this guy was a scoundrel and wanted to tease her.
"Please move aside and don't block the way." How could Lisa bother with such a guy?
But this man obviously didn't want to let Lisa go.
He felt that he had seen many beauties, but he did not expect to see such a stunning beauty in a place like Diwa Township. In the county, no, even in Pune District, it is extremely rare.
He felt he had to seize the opportunity.
"Ah, whether you know me or not, miss, please give me a chance to apologize. I would like to treat you to a meal?" the man asked with a smile.
"Sorry, please make way." Lisa didn't want to pay attention.
But this man just blocked Lisa's way.
"I'm going to call the police." Lisa's little face showed anger.
"Call the police?" The man laughed. "Why call the police? I didn't do anything. Ah~"
Before he could finish his words, a scream came out of his mouth.
An armed policeman hit him hard on the back with the butt of his rifle.
The force was so strong that it knocked him to the ground.
The two armed policemen were originally sitting in a car, which was parked not far from the entrance of the pharmacy.
They had been paying attention to the pharmacy, so they naturally saw the guy regulating Lisa's breathing.
How can this be?
Although they could see that the man was dressed very elegantly, he should have some money or some background.
But they came from the capital of the special zone, and places like Diwa Township were considered rural areas in their eyes. They had a natural sense of superiority over the people and things here.
Moreover, they are following the orders of the district chief, so how could they be afraid of the guys from this small place?
"Damn it, who hit me?" The man gritted his teeth in pain, but when he got up and saw two armed policemen standing behind him, he immediately shut up.
He was shocked. This woman just wanted to call the police, right? Why did the police come so quickly? That's not right. These are not ordinary public security police. How could they be so fully armed?
He was a little afraid of the gun in his hand and took two steps back.
At this time, Lisa saw the call from Rotten and hurriedly picked up the phone.
"I've already bought it. Okay, I'll be there right away," Lisa replied.
After hanging up the phone, Lisa walked past the man and snorted coldly. She was too lazy to argue with him.
She was very happy in her heart. If she had encountered such a thing in the past, it would have been very troublesome.
It’s different now. With Rawdon, she feels a completely different sense of security.
