Chapter 1126 The Traditionalists Come to an End
The investigation into the traditionalists is ongoing, and various methods are being used.
You must believe that Lei Zhen's method of punishment is definitely not a formality. It can make anyone confess everything they know.
Because no one can survive torture.
All intelligence organizations will assume that a line of communication is dead after an intelligence officer goes missing or is arrested, because they know how terrible the punishment is and don't believe anyone can endure it.
This was indeed the case. Lou Qianli and his seven companions couldn't even survive the second round and confessed everything.
Once they recruited, the traditionalists no longer had any secrets in Lei Zhen's eyes, and he could complete the control from top to bottom, including any position.
"I'm dealing with a family faction, and not only are you not helping me, you're also fanning the flames behind my back. Is that appropriate?"
In the interrogation room, Lei Zhen sat at the table with a majestic look, staring at the seven heads of various departments opposite him who were covered in blood, with a cruel look in his eyes.
"It's a success, and the traditionalists are the only ones who dominate. I just don't understand what's in your heads. How can you not understand such a simple truth?"
"I'm a gentleman, and I want power, but in the end, doesn't it still have to be you who exercise that power? You bunch of idiots! I finally understand why the traditionalists are being suppressed by the family faction."
Either bad or stupid.
Although this involves major changes, in the end their positions will be largely retained and they will still be able to enjoy the happiness that comes with power.
But they were unwilling to change and did not want Lei Zhen to intervene in their original power structure.
This is just like a decadent dynasty, which refuses to change even at the last moment and is still immersed in its own plans.
It's a bit like the last Ming Dynasty.
There are many reasons why it was destroyed, one of which is very important: lack of money.
After the eunuch party was killed, no one could restrain the Donglin party. When money was needed for the war, these scholars and officials refused to take a penny.
How to play without money?
In the end, Chongzhen hanged himself, and King Chuang entered the city, killing all the scholars and officials and stealing all their money.
The traditionalists are similar to these literati. They don't care about the chaos outside, as long as they maintain the power structure within. They have indeed reached a point of corruption.
Aren't they smart?
No, they are all smart, but sometimes being too smart can be stupid!
"Kill him."
Lei Zhen stood up, turned around and walked out.
"Sir, spare my life!"
"We will never dare to do that again. No matter what the master says, we will do it!"
"Sir, you have the final say in everything. I am willing to hand over all my power..."
People are often like this, they won't cry until they see the coffin.
I always had a hope of getting away with something, until the butcher's knife was placed on my neck, and then I felt fear.
"Power? What power do you have?" Lei Zhen turned and sneered, "Do you think I'm incapable of restructuring the Public Opinion Bureau, or do you think the Public Opinion Bureau can't function without you?"
"us……"
“Kill him!”
When Lei Zhen walked out, the seven people fell into complete despair.
Because the killing here does not mean killing any one of them, but killing the whole family.
Under the order, seven people were pulled out and knelt side by side on the back mountain.
At this point, they were filled with regret and fear, and some were even so scared that they collapsed to the ground and became incontinent.
"Prepare--"
“Crack!”
The rifle is loaded.
Execution by shooting is the most deterrent.
When the seven men heard the bolt being pulled, their faces all turned ashen and their minds went blank.
"Spare his life!"
Jinju's anxious voice came from behind.
"Deputy Director Jin, please don't come near." Sun Yinhu, who was in charge of the execution, said in a cold voice.
"Can you give me 10 minutes? I'm looking for you right now! These people can't be killed. If they die, the Public Opinion Bureau will completely collapse, and then we won't be able to compete with the family faction at all."
"Sorry, I'm on a mission."
"Five minutes! I guarantee it with my life. Killing them will definitely cause disaster. You don't want the gentleman to be in trouble, right? Five minutes, give me five minutes!"
Sun Yinhu stared at Jinju for a long time, then waved his hand to signal her to put away the gun.
"Thank you, I'll go find you now!"
"Only five minutes."
“…”
After hearing the subsequent conversation, Lou Qianli and the other seven people immediately showed hope on their faces and waited in agony.
As time passed, five minutes flew by.
"Prepare--"
Wow!
He loaded the rifle again and placed it against the back of the seven men's heads.
This time the fear was even greater than before. Without exception, all seven people collapsed to the ground, and then were pulled up by the soldiers on both sides.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Behind him, Sun Yinhu said "yes" three times, waved his hand to indicate that he should put away his gun and take the man back.
The force was sufficient and the effect was achieved.
Lei Zhen had no intention of killing them because these people were of great use.
First, to intimidate the traditionalists and tell them that if they piss me off, no matter who they are, they must die; second, to turn Jin Ju into a living Bodhisattva for the traditionalists, thereby achieving deeper control; third, to complete the replacement when the traditionalists are afraid.
A cash cow organization that can fill the investigation section.
In addition, the spider web on the parrot's side can also be entered, and finally Lei Zhen will use his own intelligence system to fully control the intelligence system of the Public Opinion Bureau.
…
In the conference room, the seven people expressed their gratitude to Jin Ju.
"Thank you, Deputy Director Jin, for saving my life!"
"It still has to be you at the critical moment, otherwise we're really finished."
“…”
After a near-death experience, these guys have become really obedient. They no longer dare to show their ID cards and act aggressively like they used to.
Now they are all like dogs that have lost their homes, as humble as they can be.
"You can sideline me, but why do you have to seize my power?" Jin Ju sighed. "I've been by my master's side for so long, and I know his way of doing things all too well. I wouldn't be surprised even if he wiped out our traditional faction, let alone you guys."
"Yes, yes, we have thoroughly experienced the master's methods this time. It really is..."
"It's truly convincing! Under your leadership, the Public Opinion Bureau will undoubtedly achieve unprecedented glory. You are the only true God!"
"We will fully support you, sir, and obey your orders, Director Jin!"
Everyone is afraid, and that's right.
You can test anyone, but never test Lei Zhen.
"To tell you the truth, the Investigation Department was slaughtered by Mr.," Jin Ju said in a low voice, "It was all to create a special period. Do you understand?"
When these words were spoken, Lou Qianli and the other seven were so frightened that they almost fell to the ground.
“This, this…”
They never dreamed that this was a ruthless move by Lei Zhen, just to create a special period for the Public Opinion Bureau, and then walk in openly to initiate accountability.
Too cruel, too extreme!
At this moment, all they felt was fear. Others would use any means necessary, but Mr. didn't care about any means.
The two look similar, but there are essential differences.
To use any means necessary means that any means can be used, and to not care about any means means that all means are the same in his eyes.
The former is Jia Xu and the latter is Lu Meng.
It’s not that Jia Xu couldn’t think of crossing the river in white clothes, but that he didn’t dare to do it, because that would mean he would be nailed to the rack of shame.
Lu Meng did it, and from then on all the people in Jiangdong were rats.
"You all return to your posts and gradually withdraw," Jin Ju said softly, "This is what the master intended, and it's the only way to save you."
"Yes, thank you, Director Jin!"
"We'll obey your orders!"
“…”
What kind of situation is this? Lou Qianli and others realized it.
But it was useless. They had to withdraw, transfer the power of the traditional faction to Jin Ju, and be grateful to her.
Thus, the traditionalists came to an end.
They were replaced by Lei Zhen’s direct lineage!
