Chapter 240: Power without authority cannot stand
Time flies, and it is the first day of March in a blink of an eye.
Lin Delu hired a government ship early in the morning, and his eldest brother, Bianyi, led people to move all the belongings prepared by Ruan Rong and Xiangling onto the ship.
When everything was ready, Sun Shaozong was preparing to board the ship and set sail when he saw smoke and dust billowing on the dock and a group of six riders galloping over, leading the way was none other than Wei Ruolan.
Seeing that it was getting closer, Wei Ruolan pulled the reins suddenly, and the black horse under her crotch stood up. Just about ten feet away from Sun Shaozong, it turned half a circle with kicks and stomps, and then landed on all four hooves with a thud.
I have to say, although this guy is a high-minded young man, his riding skills are really good.
Wei Ruolan dismounted from her horse and bowed to Sun Shaozong with a smile on her face: "I am a step late, which is really rude."
As his mood improved, his tone became softer .
But then, he revealed his true intentions and took out a roll of brocade from his sleeve, waved it in front of Sun Shaozong, and said with a smile: "But I am doing this for official business, I am sure Sun Zhizhong will not blame me - here, this is the 'Discipline Charter' I have newly drafted, which has just been read out in the Criminal Law Department, would Sun Zhizhong like to take another look?"
It turned out that she had received the "Discipline Improvement" regulations. Wei Ruolan was in a dilemma for a long time, but in the end she was reluctant to miss this great opportunity.
But he is not a fool after all, so he naturally knows that there must be something fishy going on!
Therefore, after discussing with his advisors, Wei Ruolan deleted and modified the contents of the charter to make it more in line with her own interests. At the same time, she procrastinated with Lin Delu until today when Sun Shaozong set off, and then announced the new charter with great fanfare.
In this way, even if there are some tricks hidden in the charter, Wei Ruolan is confident that she can settle it before Sun Shaozong returns to Beijing - with Han Anbang's full support, people like Lin Delu who want to stir up trouble will only bring about their own destruction.
In short, after everything was arranged, Wei Ruolan rushed all the way to the dock, ostensibly to see him off, but actually to show off her power!
Seeing him proudly handing over the brocade, Sun Shaozong did not hesitate to take it and took a quick look at it.
It was seen that the charter had been changed beyond recognition. In addition to the addition and deletion of rules and regulations, Wei Ruolan was given many additional powers. It could be said that as long as Han Anbang and Jia Yucun did not interfere, he would have the power of life and death in the Criminal Law Division!
I believe that once this charter is announced, the people in the Criminal Law Department will be in chaos. Next, Wei Ruolan only needs to follow the procedures and "rectify" the Criminal Law Department from top to bottom, and the situation will be reversed.
Even if Sun Shaozong returns to Beijing in the future, he will probably be powerless to save the situation!
"how?"
Seeing that Sun Shaozong had already read it, Wei Ruolan deliberately provoked, "Is there anything wrong with this charter?"
Without waiting for Sun Shaozong's response, he laughed again and said, "It's a pity that even if there is something wrong, it's too late to correct it now. Sun Zhizhong , take care on your journey. I'll take my leave now!"
Having said that, Wei Ruolan clasped her fists proudly and bowed, then turned around, mounted her horse and rode away.
"President Wei really did a good job of seizing power."
At this moment, Sun Shaozong finally spoke, and threw the scroll filled with "Code of Conduct" back to Wei Ruolan, and said with a smile: "But you must remember that power cannot be established without "authority". If you want to monopolize power, you must be ruthless when establishing authority."
He met Wei Ruolan's puzzled look and clasped his fists in greeting: "That's all I have to say. Judge Wei, take care of yourself."
Having said that, he turned around and stepped onto the boat.
Soon, the captain of the boat shouted at the top of his voice: "Let's sail!"
" snort!"
Seeing the official flag of 'Shuntian Prefecture Governor - Sun' raised on the bow of the ship, and drifting down the river with the wind, Wei Ruolan sneered and said, "You are about to become a stray dog, and you still want to play tricks in front of me!"
Before he finished speaking, he jumped onto the snow-capped black horse and whipped it, saying, "Let's go back to the government office!"
Although she said "playing tricks", Wei Ruolan felt uneasy in her heart, so she whipped her horse along the way, going three times faster than when she came here.
When I returned to the Criminal Law Department, I heard someone in the East Courtyard crying, "Don't stop me, I have to find the judge today!"
Something happened as expected!
Wei Ruolan's heart sank, and he hurried into the courtyard. He saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of the main hall, but there was no sign of the secretaries. He became even more angry, and without thinking, he shouted, "What are you doing here? Don't you have to deal with official business?!"
When everyone turned around and saw that it was him coming, they quickly separated, leaving his embarrassed figure behind.
Wei Ruolan saw the man's appearance clearly and frowned again. This man's name was Bao Yongmeng, and he was a clerk in charge of archives in the Criminal Law Department. Although he was just a small figure with low rank and little influence, he was one of the first to "rebel" against her, so Wei Ruolan still had some impression of him.
When the "Code of Conduct" was read out before, he was jumping up and down to maintain order, looking like a smug villain. But now, his face was bruised and swollen, and tears were streaming down his face, and there were many footprints on his official uniform.
"Mr. Tongpan!"
As soon as Bao Yongmeng saw Wei Ruolan, he immediately came up to her, crying, "You must help me! I just saw someone violate the rules of conduct you just issued, so I kindly warned him, but he didn't know what was good for him and beat me up!"
"Is this really true?!"
Wei Ruolan thought about Sun Shaozong's last meaningful words at the dock, and she was convinced that the person who beat her must have been a backup plan arranged by Sun Shaozong, with the purpose of destroying her prestige!
Thinking of this, a murderous look appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who dares to be so rampant?"
"Dong Weng, Dong Weng!"
Before Bao Yongmeng could speak, several lawyers came out of the hall and called out in unison, "Mr. Dong, bring him in to talk!"
"Yes, yes, let's bring him in!"
Seeing these people speaking in unison and making faces, Wei Ruolan also realized that something was wrong.
Just as he was about to ask Bao Yongmeng to come in and talk to him, Bao Yongmeng shouted at him, "This man is none other than the inspector of our Criminal Law Department, Mr. Qiu Yunfei!"
"That Inspector Qiu scolded you as worthless, and even said that if the discipline rules offended him, they would be worse than dog shit!"
Oh no, I was fooled again!
When Wei Ruolan heard this, his head buzzed, and he finally understood that the "backup plan" that Sun Shaozong had prepared was not for the beating, but for the poor Bao Yongmeng in front of him!
