Everyone in the inspection department was very professional and carried shovels. They were divided into three groups. One group searched downstairs, one group searched upstairs, and another group went to the backyard and garden with shovels.
Judging from the situation, no matter who it is, no one can escape this disaster.
"It's all because of that unlucky guy in your family. Now the whole family is going to be in trouble." The second aunt of the Xi family pointed at Xi's mother's nose and cursed.
"Don't talk nonsense here." Xi's mother roared with gritted teeth.
"Isn't what my second sister-in-law said true? That unlucky girl in your family insisted on going to the countryside, and now she's clamoring to come back not long after she left. If it weren't for her, how could our family have ended up like this?" The third aunt of the Xi family also blamed Xi's mother.
The news that Mr. Xi had been taken away from his office by the Ministry of Investigation had spread like wildfire. She was shopping with some wives of officials who usually flattered her, but when they learned that their father-in-law had been arrested, their attitudes immediately changed.
She hurried back home, but unexpectedly encountered the scene of the Censorate raiding her house.
The quarrel among the women had already attracted the attention of the investigation department. Oh my god, they exposed the evidence themselves.
They were immediately taken away, and the search team found evidence soon after.
The people in charge of the search dug up three large boxes of gold bars in the Xi family's backyard. The deputy director of the Investigation Department asked others to continue the search, and he took the three boxes of gold bars and other evidence he found and returned to the Investigation Department first.
In the Review Department, Xi Yang was still stubborn and refused to admit that he had abused his power.
"Xi Yang, your granddaughter Xi Xiang has only been in the countryside for less than a month, right? How come she was suddenly transferred back to Beijing?" He Jianguo asked with a forced smile.
"My granddaughter was ill and needed to return to Beijing for treatment, so I transferred her back. This is in line with policy requirements. Don't try to use this to slander me." Xi Yang said with forced calmness.
"Really? Then take a good look at these photos. Your granddaughter returned to Beijing on April 20th. Our people received the report on April 22nd. Then we followed your granddaughter for three consecutive days. During these three days, she either went shopping or met up with friends. She doesn't look like a sick person at all." He Jianguo said sarcastically.
Xi Yang felt a little guilty when looking at the photos. He repeatedly told his granddaughter not to go out for the time being, but she turned a deaf ear to his words and not only went out but was also photographed.
Looking at Xi Yang's expression, He Jianguo continued, "Don't worry, we rely on evidence when we do things. My colleague has already taken your granddaughter to the hospital for a checkup. We'll know if she's sick or not."
After hearing his words, Xi Yang knew that he couldn't escape this time. He knew best whether his granddaughter was sick or not.
After a while, someone brought in Xi Xiang's test results. He Jianguo picked it up, took a look at it, and then handed it to Xi Yang.
"Look for yourself. The doctor said your granddaughter is in good health after the examination and does not have any acute nephritis at all. What else do you have to say?" He Jianguo scolded.
Before Xi Yang could figure out how to excuse himself, the deputy director of the review department walked in.
"Minister, we found some top-secret documents in Xi Yang's home, and also dug out three boxes of gold bars in his backyard." The Deputy Minister of the Review Department glanced at Xi Yang and said expressionlessly.
"Xi Yang, you'd better tell me the truth. Where did these top-secret documents come from? And where did these three boxes of gold bars come from?" He Jianguo slammed the table and asked loudly.
Xi Yang's face was ashen at this time. He had been the Minister of Education for more than ten years. He had not been greedy for much in the past, but in recent years, he had made a fortune just by recommending students to go to university.
After all, there are so many leaders in Beijing, and every family has one or two children. If they don't go to college, don't join the army, and can't find a suitable job, they can only go to the countryside to become educated youth.
Just ask yourself, which parent would want their child to go to the queue to join the queue? At this time, he, as the Minister of Education, became a hot commodity in the eyes of those people.
It is no exaggeration to say that these three boxes of gold bars were almost all earned by him in recent years by selling university places.
Resisting national policy, hiding confidential documents, and having a huge amount of property of unknown origin, these three charges combined mean that Xi Yang's life is over.
Less than half an hour after the news of Xi Yang's arrest spread, everyone in Beijing knew about it.
Xi Yang's three sons and several grandchildren were immediately suspended from their jobs. When they returned home, they saw a seal on their door. Before they could understand what was happening, they were taken away by the inspectors who were guarding their door.
The news of Xi Yang's arrest made those who had bought college admission places from him feel uneasy.
If Xi Yang revealed them, they would also be in trouble.
After Xi Xiang's medical examination at the hospital, she was also taken back to the investigation department. The person in charge of questioning her showed her the results of the investigation at the Red Flag Brigade.
"These are the testimonies of all the educated youth in the Red Flag Brigade. Xi Xiang, is what is written above true?" asked the examiner.
Xi Xiang still doesn't understand the situation and still looks arrogant.
"Who do you think you are to interrogate me? If it were in the past, you wouldn't even be qualified to carry my shoes." Xi Xiang said arrogantly.
The person who interrogated her was not angry. He wrote something about her bad attitude and refusal to cooperate on her interrogation record, closed the record and left.
What an idiot! She still can't see the situation clearly. The more arrogant she is now, the worse off she will be in the future.
In the next few days, the people in the review department continued to receive reports against Xi Yang and his family. Some said that they bullied others by taking advantage of their power, and that Xi Yang's second son raped women and kept a mistress. Even the fact that Xi Yang's third son accidentally killed someone ten years ago was exposed.
Every incident had irrefutable evidence, and those who had previously been on good terms with Xi Yang all began to take advantage of his misfortune. Xi Yang and his family finally understood what it meant to be pushed down by everyone when the wall fell.
Xi's mother's family immediately announced in the newspaper that they had severed ties with the Xi family. However, their family was involved in Xi Xiang's transfer back to Beijing, and in the end, the old man of the Wang family was still dismissed from his post.
Xi Yang's life these past few days could be described as a life worse than death. The people from the Investigation Department interrogated him day and night. They asked him to confess the confidential documents and the three boxes of gold bars, but he dared not say a word.
Because he knew that if he revealed the people who gave him gifts, no one in his family would survive.
Because he refused to answer the questions of the Ministry of Justice, his interrogation became increasingly harsh. The physical torture, coupled with the mental torture, soon overwhelmed Xi Yang's elderly body, and he collapsed in the interrogation room of the Ministry of Justice.
The moment Xi Yang fell, he regretted it very much. If he had not indulged his granddaughter to do whatever she wanted, perhaps he would not have ended up like this.
In the end, he left the world with unwillingness and unclosed eyes.
