Lin Xiaodong stood with his hands behind his back.
Looking down at Vice General Dong from above.
He didn't say a word, just looked at the other person indifferently.
Vice General Dong did not dare to raise his head wherever he was kneeling.
I just feel the pressure on my body getting bigger and bigger, as if Mount Tai is pressing down on me.
Time passed minute by minute, and after a while, Lin Xiaodong finally spoke out.
"Vice General Dong, since you knew you couldn't bring anyone here, why did you do it knowingly?
As soon as these words came out, Vice General Dong suddenly had cold sweat on his head, as if it was raining.
He murmured for a moment, hesitating.
"Uh, I, I..." Lin Xiaodong couldn't help but sneered when he saw this.
"I think you took bribes from them, right?
How audacious!”
When Vice General Dong heard this, he immediately felt like he was dead.
He was so frightened that his face turned pale and his soul was gone.
As a member of the military, accepting bribes is a serious crime! Especially since he is a deputy general in the army.
If Lin Xiaodong insists on pursuing the case, simple punishment will not be enough.
If it is serious, he may even lose his life! Therefore, Vice General Dong said with a trembling voice and tears.
"Commander-in-Chief Mingjian, I really didn't accept any bribes, I just..." "Just what?"
Lin Xiaodong asked coldly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"It's just that Tianshi Xiao invited me to have a meal, and I got to know people from the four major families..." Vice General Dong did not dare to hide anything, and explained the matter honestly.
After Lin Xiaodong heard this, the coldness in his eyes faded, but his face remained cold and hard.
"I see... Vice General Dong, do you know how Xiao Tianshi was deposed?"
Lin Xiaodong nodded and changed his tone.
Vice General Dong shook his head with a confused expression and said subconsciously.
"I don't know. I just heard that a young man in his mid-twenties killed him."
Having said this, Vice General Dong paused for a moment.
He seemed to realize something, and his expression became stiff.
"Wait... twenty-five or six years old?"
Vice General Dong raised his head cautiously and looked at Lin Xiaodong's young and handsome face.
Suddenly, my heart twitched, and an incredible thought came to my mind.
"Commander in chief, the young man Xiao Tianshi was talking about, could it be you?"
Lin Xiaodong looked at him with a half-smile, and said with a playful expression.
"What do you think?"
Boom! As soon as these words came out, they were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Vice General Dong’s mind.
In an instant, he was about to cry without tears, and his whole body seemed to be in a daze.
"Commander in chief, please spare me!"
"If I knew, you destroyed Master Xiao Tian."
"Even if I had ten more courages, I wouldn't dare to bring them in!"
Vice General Dong cried. He really cried. His nose and tears came instantly.
At this moment, he was so filled with hatred that he wished he could pull out the bones of Xiao Tianshi and the four masters and eat their flesh raw.
Isn’t this a lie?
If I had known, you idiots would offend the commander-in-chief of the military region.
Then how could he bring these people in?
And he even rode a horse and brought it right under the commander-in-chief’s nose?
Vice General Dong felt extremely regretful and felt extremely hopeless for a moment.
Lin Xiaodong looked at Vice General Dong's tears streaming down his face and felt a little dumbfounded.
"Okay, shut up!"
"As a deputy general in the army, what does it look like to cry like a woman here?"
Lin Xiaodong scolded, and Vice General Dong's voice suddenly stopped.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xiaodong said coldly.
"Since you didn't accept a bribe, you didn't make a big mistake."
"Then I will temporarily forgive you for what happened today."
"But if there is a next time... I will kill you without mercy, do you understand?"
Vice General Dong was overjoyed when he heard this. He never expected that the commander-in-chief would forgive him! So he nodded quickly.
"Commander, don't worry, there will never be a next time."
"From now on, I will definitely enforce the law and never take bribes or engage in corruption!"
When Lin Xiaodong heard this, he nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, two men who looked like military officers came to see Vice General Dong for something.
When I saw this scene in front of me, I stood stunned on the spot.
When the two of them saw the commander-in-chief's face clearly, their bodies stiffened and they began to tremble with fear.
Lin Xiaodong turned around and raised his eyebrows involuntarily.
"What's wrong?
Am I that scary?"
When the two officers heard this, they quickly shook their heads.
Lin Xiaodong glanced at the two of them meaningfully, and then said.
"oh?
Did I understand it wrong?"
"I thought you were dissatisfied with me and wanted to take revenge on Song Ziyi's behalf!"
As soon as these words came out, the two officers were so frightened that they were shaking like chaff.
Plop! Their legs softened and they knelt down immediately.
Vice General Dong next to him looked confused. Why did these two kneel down again just after he got up?
"Commander, you have misunderstood, how dare we disrespect you!"
The two officers quickly begged for mercy. They were the two people who had been friends with Song Ziyi before.
After knowing Lin Xiaodong's identity at this time, and seeing Vice General Dong kneeling again, his scalp was numb with fear.
Not to mention retaliating, they didn't even dare to think about it! At this time, they were begging for mercy.
"Commander-in-Chief, Song Ziyi offended you just now and we didn't stop him. It's our fault."
"We already know that we were wrong. Please forgive me, sir, and spare our lives instead of punishing us!"
Lin Xiaodong couldn't help but drop his smile when he saw the two people's expressions were pale and frightened.
He thought for a moment and remembered that when Song Ziyi took action just now, the two of them were just watching and did not help the evildoer.
So he coughed lightly and said calmly.
"Forget it, he who doesn't know is not guilty."
"Since you know you are wrong, I will let you go, but..." The two officers just breathed a sigh of relief, but when they heard the second half of Lin Xiaodong's words, they felt excited again.
"It's just that this Song Ziyi caused trouble in the army, made rude remarks, and violated many disciplines."
"According to military regulations, should he be expelled from the army and never allowed to join the army again?"
Vice General Dong on the side quickly nodded in agreement. This was not because he was trying to please, but because the discipline of the army was indeed what it was.
Lin Xiaodong nodded and said calmly.
"Okay, then let's fire him according to the regulations."
"Remember, this matter must be reported to the entire army. If anyone dares to bully comrades in the future, I will definitely deal with it seriously!"
Vice General Dong responded repeatedly, and the two officers nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
After the three people left, they settled the matter and informed the entire army.
When the soldiers at the bottom learned the news, they were also overjoyed.
This Song Ziyi relied on his prominent family background to act arrogantly in the army, which had long caused a lot of dissatisfaction.
Now the commander-in-chief has expelled him as soon as he takes office, which is really very satisfying.
So, the soldiers sighed one after another.
"The commander-in-chief knows everything clearly, which is a blessing to the army!"
