Reborn In 17th century India with Black Technology - Chapter 441

Chapter 441: Closing the net Chapter 441: Closing the net 11th March 1657 Akhand Bharatiya Empire, Imperial Capital-Bengaluru, Simhasana Bhavana  “So Kishore, is everything prepared?” Vijay asked the Jain priest, who was wearing white clothes and a white mask, sitting in front of him.  Kishore Balabatra nodded and replied, “Everything is prepared, Your Majesty.

I’m just waiting for your orders.” Saying this, he waited calmly.  To be honest, he did not need to get permission from His Majesty to conduct anti-corruption raids on government departments.

However, he knew that if he acted arbitrarily, His Majesty would not hesitate to remove him from the post of Observer and find another man to replace him.

Just because he could control some military forces doesn’t mean he has control over all of them.

If he even so much as showed the thought of acting beyond his purview, not to mention His Majesty, the various government departments threatened by him would tear him to pieces.

This is one of the reasons why, even though he had witnessed a lot of corruption and tragedy caused by scum in the government system, he chose to remain silent.

Although he does not know much about governance, he knows that the empire is in a phase of rapid growth, and expecting the government to be completely clean is unrealistic.

For this reason, he chose to stay silent and only occasionally offer his opinion to His Majesty because, in the current situation, he could not do his job without His Majesty’s backing.

In theory, the position of The Observer of the Empire and the Director of ENEC looks very powerful, and it seems it could rival the power of the Prime Minister, but in reality, that is only on paper.

The power of The Observer is solely dependent on the number of corrupt politicians and civil servants in the government.

The more corrupt forces there are, the more power the Observer has, as he has the right to immediately wipe out these elements in society without any constraints.

On the other hand, if there is no major corruption in the empire, the Election, Nobility, and Examination Council (ENEC) becomes a middle-class agency responsible for conducting examinations and ensuring that the merits of the empire, which are used for people to climb to nobility, are not tampered with.

Even in that case, the ENEC does not have the right to enthrone anyone or grant nobility; the council acts more like a referee overseeing the game and making sure that everything is according to the rules.

Vijay went over the plan one last time and then gave his order, “Go ahead, fulfil your duty, Kishore Balabatra.” Kishore immediately smiled as he received the permission and replied, “Without any delay, Your Majesty.” Saying that, Kishore Balabatra got up from his seat and left the room, but as he exited, his amiable appearance was nowhere to be seen.

His face turned emotionless, and his eyes grew cold.

“Do these bastards think I do not exist, or do they think that just because I have not taken action, they can act however they want?” If anyone from the government were to see him, they would have mistaken him for someone else who looked like Kishore because Kishore had always been an amiable and peace-loving Jain priest who was harmless to humans and animals.

Even when he had previously interacted with the government, his face was always amiable and kind, but now, the expression on his face was something a priest shouldn’t have.

Vijay, looking at the receding back of Kishore Balabatra, couldn’t help but look forward to his next actions in anticipation.

Unlike the people in the government, Vijay knew the ruthless methods Kishore Balabatra used when he controlled the situation in Amaravathi City, and he also knew how he grew from a small figure in the city to the mayor of the city.

The man might look like a rabbit, but in truth, he is a monster who swallows people whole and doesn’t even leave the bones.

— Ministry of Trade, Commerce, and Industry  Head Office, 3rd Floor, Department of Industry A fat man was leisurely sitting in his chair discussing some matters with an entrepreneur.

“Sir, I just sold all my property in my hometown and got 30% shares in the state-owned factory I used to work in, but a few days ago, it was said that due to a mistake made by the director, the factory has been abruptly denied an export permit.” The entrepreneur’s face looked pained as he pleaded, “Sir, could you please help me out with this?

Once I take over the factory, I will be sure to only produce quality products,” he thought and added, “Not to mention following the standards put forward by the government.

I would even be ashamed to put out inferior products myself.

You can put your trust in me, sir.

I have given my life’s earnings to buy this factory.” The fat man looked at the pleading man with interest and stated, “I am sorry, Mr.

Janaki Kishore, but there is nothing I can do about it.

His Majesty has placed his utmost attention on this quality inspection campaign.

Not to mention me, even if you go to the Minister himself, there is nothing even he could do to help you.” Janaki Kishore looked desperate because if his factory was indeed out of the export permit, the value of the factory would suddenly drop by nearly half, immediately wiping out half of his life’s work.

Thinking of this, he temporarily took out a handkerchief and handed it over to the fat man as he pleaded,  “Sir, this contains the marriage chain of my wife.

It’s made of gold.

Could you please help me out somehow?”  The fat man’s eyes immediately lit up as greed filled his mind, but suddenly he came to reality after remembering the recent tense situation within the officialdom of the empire.

He knew that His Majesty had already employed the Bharatiya Internal Pragya and Bharatiya External Pragya to ensure the quality inspection process went on smoothly, and he also knew that most of the people like him had already been caught.

The reason for them not being affected until now was nothing but that His Majesty had not yet taken action, but he was sure that once His Majesty did, all these people would be immediately eliminated from the officialdom, and in the worst cases, they would be jailed.

He knew that if what he did were to come to light, he would definitely be jailed or even worse.

But thankfully, he had made a friend within the Bharatiya External Pragya, who was actually a double agent, informing him of the actions of both secret service agencies, which allowed him to take precautions early on.

For this reason, even though he very much wanted to snatch away the gold chain, he pushed that emotion deep down in his heart.

But since he could not take it, he decided to act like a model worker and put on a show.

“How dare you, Mr.

Janaki Kishore, try to bribe me!

What do you think of me, Dharma Chaudhary?

I would never accept such dirty money, righteousness is in my name.

How dare I take bribes from you?

Please take it back before it becomes a huge problem for you.” Hearing this, Janaki Kishore was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do as he reluctantly took back the gold chain and kept it in his pocket.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard, and then- *Bang!* The door was blasted open with a bang as a group of soldiers dressed in military uniforms entered the office and quickly took hold of Dharma Chaudhary, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry.

“Dharma Chaudhary, you are hereby taken into custody for colluding with intelligence agents, dozens of civil servants, and a large number of state-owned factory directors in order to embezzle state funds and steal the nation’s wealth.

If there is anything you have to say or any defence you would like to present against the accusations, you can do so in court.” Saying this, the man with the badge of the ENEC immediately dragged the fat man out of the office.

The deputy directors and directors of different departments in the ministry all came out of their rooms to watch what was happening.

Seeing the men in the military uniforms of the Bhartiya Empire, they knew that things were not so simple, so they hurriedly ran upstairs to inform the minister.

Hearing what had happened, Rajesh immediately came down and inquired of the military man about the reason for the sudden intrusion.

“Sir minister, you have no right to interfere in our operations.

Please step aside.” Rajesh was about to get angry at the man who dared to talk to him like this.

Since becoming a minister, he had been respected by everyone, and no one would speak to him in this manner.

Just as he was about to scold the man, his eyes caught the ENEC symbol on the military uniform.

This immediately made him choke back the words he was about to utter because he knew that the ENEC acted only in special circumstances, and when these circumstances arose, there was literally no one who could stop this department from doing what it was tasked to do.

And this was true even for the Prime Minister, let alone a minister like him.

Then he saw a middle-aged man, around the age of 30, walking out of Dharma Chaudhary’s cabin.

Rajesh immediately took the opportunity to ask the man what had happened.

Janaki Kishore was still in a daze, unable to believe what had happened.

The fat man, who had looked righteous and amiable just a moment ago, had turned out to be a hidden boss.

How could this not scare him to death?

Fortunately, the fat man did not take his chain; otherwise, not only would he have lost his chain and failed to settle the matter he was worried about, but he would also have been implicated in this mess.

“Hey!

You” Just then, awakened by the loud shouts of someone, Janaki came to his senses.

He was immediately shocked to see that it was the minister himself calling him.

The minister had an uneasy expression and was staring daggers at him.

Looking around, all the bigwigs in the ministry were looking at him as if he were some god of knowledge.

He panicked and didn’t know what to say.

Fortunately, after calming down and hearing Rajesh’s question, he slowly explained the situation.

“Bastard!” Rajesh immediately yelled out in anger.

How could he not be angry when such a thing happened right under his nose?

Then he was surprised at the level of resources His Majesty had deployed to dig out these rats.

The depth of the investigation reached even to the positions of various directors in different ministries, and this could definitely not have been achieved with normal intelligence channels.

He was sure His Majesty would have deployed the Bharatiya Sainik Pragya, and he was also certain that His Majesty would have exposed all the double agents to the Sainik Pragya to get this deep into the rat hole.

He did not expect His Majesty to attach such great importance to this matter that he would even expose the double agents in the empire, rendering them completely useless.

*Gulp.* Fortunately, he did not have any thoughts of his own, or who knows, he might have been gunned down.

Janaki Kishore, looking at the expressionless face of Rajesh, did not know what he was thinking or what his thoughts were.

But seeing it as a good opportunity, he immediately voiced his complaint.

“Huh!

This situation is really unfair.

Wait, if there are similar cases to yours, I will ask His Majesty what to do; if not, I will handle your affairs personally,” Rajesh said.

Janaki Kishore profusely thanked him and was very happy that he was able to not only save his wife’s gold necklace but also that he got to know the minister of the empire.

___ Kishore Balabadra acted top to bottom, catching the big fish first and later going after the small fish.

According to him, the bigger fish would have opportunities to struggle and get out of the net, but the small fish would not.

Hence, after catching the deputy director, he went for the smaller fish level by level- “Hey, what are you doing?

Leave me!

Do you know who I am?” Manjunath, who had been sleeping soundly in his home, was suddenly pulled away by some military leaders.

In the commotion, his wife started crying, seeing her husband being pulled away.

“Husband!

Robbers!

take the money in the cupboard!

Leave my husband!” Kakatiya Puri state Balram, who was enjoying the money he had earned last week, was suddenly pulled away by the soldiers of the ENEC.

“Hey, who are you?

Please let me go!

Let me go!

I’m a civil servant.

I’ll get you arrested!

How dare you!” In a military industrial enterprise Niranjan, who was happily counting the money he made by selling the subpar goods, was suddenly shocked when the soldiers came blasting through his front door.

“Hey, who are you?

This is a military industrial enterprise.

No one is allowed!” Seeing that the men were not listening, he screamed, “Security!

Security!

Where the hell are you?

Security, you bloody pigs!” “Ah, leave me!

Leave me!

Bastards, leave me!” — In such a way, throughout the week, Kishore Balabadra, like an army general, snapped up each and every corrupt person from their homes, offices, and factories and pulled them straight to jail.

Until their hearings were called, their only companions were the infrared-activated night vision hypersensitivity geese, which proved to be excellent alert sirens.
