"But now the establishment of a criminal law also requires the whole review of the Congress. Now that such a major event has occurred in Congress, and there is a lack of seats, how can we propose a proposal so quickly? I said just now that using the law after the incident as a basis for punishment is extremely unfair to the person involved, and it may even cause negative impacts against the government." Xiong Xiling said in a stronger tone.

Song Jiaoren nodded thoughtfully. He also felt that Xiong Xiling's concerns were reasonable. If the bribery was really used to deal with the draft criminal law that was decided afterwards, the tenth *** would also affect Wu Shaoting's reputation and status. Those who are unwilling to accept the trouble will definitely encounter a lot, saying that Wu Shaoting is arbitrary and abuses power and makes laws.

"I also feel that Bingyi is right. This matter should not be exaggerated for a moment," he said.

"I didn't say anything impartial. I just reiterate the seriousness of the case. I just gave this draft to you in advance so that you can have a clear boundary in your heart. To be honest, the bank records we have collected at present are very limited, and many of the members involved in the case do not have a detailed amount of bribes, so naturally they cannot judge the case. But no matter what, criminal punishment is unquestionable, and all those involved must be subject to a criminal judgment." Wu Shaoting said unswervingly.

When everyone heard this, although Wu Shaoting's attitude had not changed much, it finally made people feel relieved that they would not have dragged a few people out to shoot him this time. This was also considered a concession in Wu Shaoting's attitude.

After some discussion, everyone passed the decision to sentence the person involved to imprisonment. As for Congress' absence, it will be temporarily retained and wait for the next Senate election to fill it.

Liang Qichao also proposed the assumption that the temporarily vacant reserves of seats in Congress are passed in the form of an emergency bill. If a new general election is held during this period, the current number of seats will still be approved by four-fifths before the election of the president of the government will be decided.

Everyone has no objection. After all, after this bribery case, everyone has some concerns. They cannot blindly vote for members of Congress. They must go through serious assessment and selection. This issue will be submitted to the Senate early tomorrow morning. I believe that the Senate will pass this urgent bill.

Next, everyone is concerned about bribery issues, which involves Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, which is a very complicated situation.

During the day, Liu Xianshi once emphasized that he was not aware of this. However, it is not difficult for people with a little brain to guess that without the instruction of the provincial government, who would have been bored to bribe members of Congress? Even if it was a behavior of a person, but without enough financial resources, how could he buy so many people at once?

It is precisely because this matter has a close relationship with the two provincial governments, if it is brought to justice according to Wu Shaoting's wishes and if it continues to investigate in depth, Tang Jiyao and Liu Xianshi will definitely not be able to break up. Will Tang Jiyao and Liu Xianshi be sentenced to imprisonment at that time? Isn't this directly letting Tang Jiyao and Liu Xianshi be in power?

Everyone is worried that once things go awry, the capitals of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces will not rebel against the government. Once the provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces leave the government, the strength of the government will inevitably suffer a heavy blow. The momentum accumulated after finally being damaged will be damaged again, and the result will still be disappointing in the end.

Liang Qichao, Xiong Xiling, Song Jiaoren and others all hope that Wu Shaoting will handle this issue carefully.

Wu Shaoting pretended to think for a while, and then said, "Let's investigate this matter first and see if there is any insider. I also hope that Governor Tang and Governor Liu have nothing to do with this matter. If it is really done by some of the subordinates, then the culprit can be found."

After hearing these words, although Wu Shaoting did not make a conclusion clearly, his tone was still open to discuss, and everyone felt that Tang Jiyao and Liu Xianshi should be given a step forward. Then, send two telegrams to the Yunnan-Guizhou Provincial Government, and more or less hint to handle the matter properly, so that everyone can look better.

After looking at the time, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and several elderly people were sleepy.

However, Liang Qichao still maintained his energy. He suggested that everyone persist for a while and start discussing the plan for the next election directly. All the issues discussed before were to consolidate the foundation of the stubborn government, and those who can truly implement the government situation should ultimately decide on the election as soon as possible and formally establish the Southern State Administration.

Everyone present was mobilized by Liang Qichao and their moods gradually became cheered up. After all, this was something that everyone had been pursuing for a long time, and they didn't care about being tired for another day. So everyone sat down again and asked the attendant on duty to serve new tea and pastries, and began to discuss the preparations for a new election.

After some discussion and inference, Liang Qichao and Song Jiaoren drafted an emergency bill, and everyone quickly unify their thinking and decided to hold a formal election by May 12 at the latest.

In the past ten days, the Senate mainly focused on three points of work. On the one hand, it eliminated the impact of the previous bribery case and replaced the scandal with the side of the government's fair law enforcement; on the other hand, it cooperated with the gendarmerie to investigate the people involved in the case in detail and verify the evidence and the case; finally, it was the plan for the new election, and each province would draw up a new round of candidates as soon as possible.

As for all judgments, the unified trial will be held after the general election is successfully completed and the Supreme Court of the Enforcement Government will be held one after another.

At dawn, the all-night meeting finally ended. Everyone left with their tired bodies, rushing to rest for a few hours before the Senate emergency meeting at noon.

Wu Shaoting walked out of the gate of the Union Hall, and the four cars had already opened from the back garden to wait here. Deng Keng, Wang Changling and the guards were all standing outside the car.

Deng Keng quickly came up and asked in a voice: "Ting Shuai, I heard that the investigation committee should avoid holding Tang Jiyao and Liu Xianshi accountable, but the 37th Division and Sichuan have already notified it. We don't take this opportunity to deal with them, but we are afraid that there will be many hidden dangers in the future."

Wu Shaoting knew that there were all people from the Secret Service outside the door of the internal office before, and Deng Keng and Wang Changling could easily find out the content of the meeting. He smiled indifferently and said meaningfully: "Even if I don't pursue Tang Jiyao and Liu Xianshi, they will attack me in turn. This matter is not so easy to end. Get in the car."
