The aroma of wine in Ma Sijia's restaurant was strong, but the spicy liquor did not warm up the atmosphere, but instead made it a bit cold.

Ning Zhe turned the wine glass in his hand: "I want to know, how much compensation did you get in these two years?"

"My wife and daughter have the status of residents of the four clans of Beihuang. They have their own houses, shops and savings in their capitals. They should be considered valuable." Ma Si stretched out his hand and rubbed his cheek: "In the beginning,

I just wanted to save my daughter's life, but I fell deeper and deeper into it. When I found that I couldn't turn back, I just wanted to get benefits for them, no matter what."

Ning Zhe sipped the liquor: "Didn't you leave yourself a way out?"

"No." Ma Si shook his head: "I also thought about taking them to escape from Jinqinhuan and live in the fortress, but I don't know why. Whenever I have this idea, I am quickly suppressed. Maybe it's

Because I can't face the guilt in my heart, or maybe I still have some resistance to the fortress people in my heart."

Ning Zhe was speechless and continued drinking.

"Brother Zhe, I really never thought that things would get so serious. From the beginning to the end, I just provided weapons to those agents and never betrayed any intelligence." Ma Si's palms were sweating nervously: "I'll follow you.

Brother Zhe, for my brother's sake, can you let me go?"

Ning Zhe looked calm: "How do you want me to let you go?"

"I resign! I can resign! I promise never to touch this matter again! I will live a down-to-earth life! If you don't believe me, I can leave Jin Qinhuan!" A trace of fear flashed in Ma Si's eyes.

: "You are the commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army. As long as you say a word, no one will hold me accountable! Brother Zhe, for the sake of my brother, please!"

"The living will not hold you accountable, but what about the dead?" Ning Zhe raised his head and looked at Ma Si: "If I turn a blind eye to this, how can I be worthy of those who died because of you? How can I be worthy of the same people?

Dalong who has been with me for so many years?"

Ma Si's wrist trembled.

"If all you sell is a gun, I can suppress this matter, but what you are selling is a large number of weapons, which gives the agents lurking in Jinqinhuan a heavy firepower! You know that through your hands, we

How many people have died?"

Ning Zhe picked up his glass: "You also work in an official agency. You should know our strength and determination to crack down on job-related crimes. The reason why refugees have such a hard life is precisely because the chaebol have put the cart before the horse and let officials who are supposed to serve the people

Stepping on the heads of the people, you can arbitrarily squeeze the value of the refugees. The word "everyone is equal" is not just a fart in Jin Qinhuan. It makes all the lackeys of the plutocrats think that they have become superiors.

If Jin Qinhuan wants long-term and stable development, the law must not be allowed to be trampled by anyone, not even me! You have to understand that I am just the person in charge elected by these hundreds of thousands of refugees to make decisions for them. The people can

They deify me very much, but I have to know my own rights. I am not the local emperor here, and I cannot trample the law because of my own selfish desires. This will lose the original intention of the revolution!

I can't help you in public, private, emotional, or rational matters. Today's drink is the farewell wine I prepared for you, and it can be regarded as an explanation to your brother."

Ma Si tried hard to control his emotions, but his body still couldn't help but tremble: "Zhe, Brother Zhe..."

Ning Zhe took a deep breath: "You didn't kill anyone, but too many people died because of you. We brothers, this is the last dignity I can give you. You kill yourself, I will take good care of your family, and

Your identity will not be made public, so at least your wife and children can live a normal life without being stigmatized."

After listening to Ning Zhe's words, Ma Si collapsed on the seat. After almost a minute, he said in an inaudible voice: "I did it myself. Since it was wrong,

I will bear the consequences, and I have nothing to say about it. In the safe in my office, there is a list of all the people who purchased weapons from me."

Ning Zhe heard Ma Si's response and stood up from his chair: "Okay."

Ma Si mustered up the courage to look at Ning Zhe: "Brother Zhe, finish your last drink with me and treat me as farewell."

"We have already drank the farewell wine." Ning Zhe shook his head expressionlessly and said, "I came to see you and am willing to see you off because we were once brothers. I will not drink this last glass of wine with you because

I am also Cao Xinglong’s eldest brother.”

After saying this, Ning Zhe picked up the coat hanging on the hanger and left without looking back.

Ma Si sat in the empty room, looking at the dishes on the table, and fell into confusion for a moment.

Once upon a time, every dish on the table was a luxury for him, and he once regarded filling his stomach as his highest pursuit.

But I don’t know since when, he seems to want more and more.

The breeze passed by, rolling the leaves on the street, and the street lights lengthened Ning Zhe's figure.

A group of fully armed soldiers suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead. Song Jia, who was leading the group, saw Ning Zhe. After being slightly startled, she waved her hand to stop the soldiers behind her and walked up to Ning Zhe: "Shuai Ning, why are you here?

this?"

Ning Zhe's mouth smelled of alcohol: "The purpose is the same as yours."

Song Jia was a smart person and quickly figured out the connection: "You already knew that the traitor who sold the weapons was Ma Si?"

"In the interrogation room, the spy mouthed his name before he died. Logically speaking, the Materials Administration cannot have access to weapons, but Ma Si's identity is the military supervisory officer, and he has the right to give

Factories, farms and other key institutions allocate weapons, and they are not included in the military and police plans, so your investigation did not find any flaws. In the entire military government, except for the top management, no one else has such convenient conditions as Ma Si

.”

After answering Song Jia's question, Ning Zhe sighed: "His children are already asleep. Don't use the troops. Arrange a few people to collect his body early tomorrow morning and report him as a sudden disease."

Song Jia nodded slightly: "What if the person is not dead?"

"Brother, the only thing I can give him is dignity. If he can't be cruel himself, I will respect him for him." Ning Zhe changed the subject: "The fact that you are here means that the spy is awake.

,Yeah?"

Song Jia nodded and said: "I woke up and basically told everything I knew. The weapons they purchased from Ma Si were introduced by Pei's spies. He has been arrested by us, but regarding the sea urchin, he still
