Guan Yi sighed and nodded: "After being tortured by Ma Xiaoyao like this, the soldiers below must have been bribed by him. From now on, the White Tiger Banner Camp... will be Ma Xiaoyao's world."
"Sir, I just received news that Ma Xiaoyao plans to investigate the misappropriation of military funds by senior generals." The soldier reported cautiously.
"It's an expected thing." Guan Yiyi nodded.
The soldier hesitated for a moment: "Sir, you... have to be careful."
"Huh?" Guan Yixing raised his eyebrows and stared straight at the soldier: "What do you mean? Are you worried that Ma Xiaoyao will do something to me? You are overthinking. I, Guan Yixing, sit up straight and are not afraid of Ma at all.
Xiaoyao investigation." Guan Yi does have this confidence. He has been in the army for decades and has always worked conscientiously. He has never been greedy for a penny. He is not afraid of Ma Xiaoyao looking for trouble.
"Ma Xiaoyao is the commander-in-chief after all. If he wants to find trouble, he has plenty of excuses..." Before the soldier could finish his words, he was interrupted by Guan Yi.
"Okay, I understand." Guan Yi waved his hand impatiently: "I, Guan Yi, am not a soft persimmon who can be bullied by others. It's okay if Ma Xiaoyao doesn't mess with me. If he dares to stumble me, I will definitely do it.
We cannot spare him."
Seeing that Guan Yi was unhappy, the soldier wisely shut up and said no more.
"By the way, it's Madam's birthday in a few days. Please help me buy a gift and send it to her." Guan Yi said, "Just be simple and practical. Don't spend too much money."
"Yes." The soldier turned and left.
"Alas..." Guan Yi sighed softly: "This captain is really a loser and has no meaning at all."
…
General Military Mansion.
In the front hall.
Ma Xiaoyao sat on the chair with a livid face, his eyes flashing with anger: "Lawless, simply lawless!"
The chief steward Gu Zhiqiu was also full of anger: "These people are so abominable! They are simply inhumane!"
What happened? What made Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Zhiqiu so angry?
The thing is like this, just last night, more than thirty captains were massacred. Their family members, guards, and servants were all spared. They all died tragically on the spot. It was like a river of blood.
According to preliminary estimates, a total of more than 7,000 people died last night. That's more than 7,000 people, including many women and children. They were all dead, and not a single one was left. The murderer's cruelty was simply outrageous.
More than 7,000 people died in one fell swoop. This was a shocking case. If this was reported, I don’t know how much trouble it would cause.
"Obviously, this is murder!" Gu Zhiqiu said bitterly: "It must have been done by Ding Xiong and others! In order to clear themselves of their responsibilities, they killed all the insiders, more than 7,000 people.
...They are really ruthless... They are simply worse than beasts..."
Ma Xiaoyao clenched his fists tightly, exuding a strong murderous aura: "I was careless! If I had taken action earlier, these people would not have died!" Ma Xiaoyao blamed himself, very much, and he let out the wind.
Talking about investigating the misappropriation of military funds by senior generals is nothing more than creating pressure on Ding Xiong and others, making Ding Xiong and others panic. Once people panic, they are prone to make mistakes and get caught... Facts have proved that Ding Xiong and others
Xiong and others panicked, but what happened next was beyond Ma Xiaoyao's expectation!
In order to destroy the evidence of misappropriation of military funds, Ding Xiong and others directly killed all the insiders. The more than thirty captains who died were all subordinates of Ding Xiong and others. To be precise, they were the cronies they had trained.
, usually Ding Xiong and others used these commanders to embezzle military expenditures. Now that these commanders are dead, the evidence that Ding Xiong and others embezzled military expenditures has been cut off! In order to eliminate future troubles forever, Ding Xiong and others even did something.
The whole family is about to be destroyed...
They killed more than 7,000 people in one night, could they really do it?
Now it’s better, the real truth is that there is no evidence of death!
"I will lead the troops to arrest Ding Xiong and others now!" Ma Xiaoyao stood up in a hurry.
"Sir, don't be impulsive!" Gu Zhiqiu hurriedly stood up to stop him: "You have no evidence in your hand. If you arrest Ding Xiong and others so rashly, your superiors will definitely not agree... Then you will be bitten by Ding Xiong and others.
, then the matter will be troublesome." To reach the level of officials like Ding Xiong and others, there must be backers above. If Ma Xiaoyao arrests people randomly without evidence, the backers behind Ding Xiong and others will definitely not give up.
, when the time comes to unite and put pressure on Ma Xiaoyao, then Ma Xiaoyao will be in a difficult situation.
"What more evidence do you need? As long as you are not blind, you can see that it was Ding Xiong and others who did it!" Ma Xiaoyao roared through gritted teeth.
"Sir, I understand how you feel. In fact, I am also very annoyed. I wish I could cut Ding Xiong and others into pieces, but..." Gu Zhiqiu persuaded him earnestly: "After all, Ding Xiong and others are not ordinary people. If you want to arrest them,
To arrest them, there must be sufficient evidence. If you arrest people randomly without evidence, the higher-ups will definitely be dissatisfied... Sir, just listen to my advice, be patient for now, and then deal with them after you find the evidence! I will give them to you then.
You are the vanguard!"
Ma Xiaoyao also knew that what Gu Zhiqiu said was right, but he was angry in his heart. He took a deep breath and suppressed the rage in his chest: "What are Ding Xiong and others doing at the moment?"
"They all stayed at home obediently and didn't do anything." Gu Zhiqiu replied.
"Hmph!" Ma Xiaoyao sneered: "They can really keep their composure! It's a miracle that people can reach their level!"
"They expected that the adults could do nothing to them, so they stayed at home so peacefully." Gu Zhiqiu said with a bitter smile: "Although I despise their methods of doing things, I have to admit that it is really effective for them to do everything.
The clues and evidence have been cut off, so they can sit back and relax."
"boom!"
Ma Xiaoyao slammed the table hard: "I must bring them to justice! Revenge the dead souls!"
"Sir, when things have reached this point, it's useless for you to be angry anymore." Gu Zhiqiu said with a serious expression: "You have two things to do now. First, quickly write a memorial and submit it to tell the story of what happened.
Write everything in detail. It is best to apply to the superiors for you to review the case alone. If the superiors do not agree...then think of a way. Secondly, you quickly come forward to appease the generals and soldiers below. If such a thing happens, the following
The generals and soldiers are all panic-stricken...If they are not comforted well, big troubles may occur..."
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I understand, I will write a memorial right away... Lao Gu, fortunately you are by my side to advise me, otherwise I would definitely lose my balance..."
"Sir, this can be said to be our most difficult moment. If we get through it, it will naturally be smooth sailing. If we can't get through it, we will be in bad luck." Gu Zhiqiu said in a deep voice.
…
"Haha... today is really fun!" Ding Xiong has not been so happy for a long time.
Wu Haibiao also had a smile on his face: "Old Ding, I'm really impressed. You did such a good job of pulling the firewood from under the cauldron! I guess Ma Xiaoyao is going crazy with anxiety at this moment, right? Haha..."
"He asked for this!" Ding Xiong sneered: "Who asked him to provoke me? Do you really think that since you are the commander-in-chief, you can defeat me? Hum! Now I will teach him a lesson and let him
He knows what it means that there is a world outside the sky, and there are people outside the world! Let’s see if he dares to provoke me again in the future!”
"Well said!" Wu Haibiao patted his thigh: "It's just to make him remember! It's not his turn to be the master of Ma Xiaoyao in the White Tiger Banner Army Camp!"
Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Zhiqiu guessed well. Last night's murder was committed by Ding Xiong and Wu Haibiao. The two were really ruthless. They massacred more than 7,000 people in one night. The most speechless thing is,
They killed so many people, and yet they could still talk and laugh? They didn't feel any guilt at all? Such cruelty is beyond the reach of ordinary people!
In other words, Ding Xiong and Wu Haibiao are no longer human beings because they have lost even the most basic humanity.
"Old Ding, we are happy this time, but things have become big." After laughing, Wu Haibiao began to worry: "If things are exposed...then we two will be finished."
"Don't worry." Ding Xiong waved his hand: "We did it cleanly and without leaving any flaws. It's impossible for others to find out that we did it."
"I hope this matter will be over soon." Wu Haibiao let out a breath.
"Keep the matter in your stomach and don't tell anyone." Ding Xiong warned: "Even if Liu Zihao and the others ask, you can't admit it."
Wu Haibiao nodded: "I know, I definitely can't tell. This matter concerns my head, and I will definitely keep it secret."
…
While Ding Xiong and Wu Haibiao were gathering together to plot something, Tian Zhengang and his wife Huarui were also talking in a low voice.
"Zhengang, tell me the truth, was it you who did what happened last night?" Huarui's expression was unusually serious.
"How many times do you have me tell you before you believe it?" Tian Zhengang smiled bitterly and said, "It really wasn't me! We have been married for so many years, and you should know me very well. Although I am not a gentleman, I can't do such a thing.
Something crazy is coming."
"you swear!"
"Okay, I swear, if I lie, I will be struck by lightning and die!"
"...Tian Zhengang, I will believe you once now. If I know you lied to me, I will definitely not let you go."
"Oh, my dear wife, why don't you believe me? I really didn't do it!"
"Then tell me... who did this?" Hua Rui asked.
"This..." Tian Zhengang hesitated for a moment: "It probably has something to do with Ding Xiong..."
"Ding Xiong?" Hua Rui raised her eyebrows: "I'm afraid he can't do it alone, right? That's more than 7,000 lives, all killed in one night..."
"Ding Xiong must have helpers, maybe Wu Haibiao and others are involved." Tian Zhengang said bitterly: "Wu Haibiao, Liu Zihao and others have always listened to Ding Xiong. If Ding Xiong wants to kill people and silence them, they will definitely help.
"." At this point, Tian Zhengang added: "The dead commanders were all close associates of Ding Xiong and others. Usually Ding Xiong and others relied on these commanders to embezzle military expenditures. Now these commanders are dead.
, the evidence that Ding Xiong and others embezzled Mo’s military funds has been cut off... What a killing move and silence."
"They killed more than 7,000 people just to destroy evidence. They are simply inhumane." Hua Rui cursed through gritted teeth.
"Human nature?" Tian Zhengang sneered: "For people like them, human nature is the least important."
"Zhengang, I'm afraid you may be in trouble this time." Huarui suddenly said: "You can guess that Ding Xiong and others did it, and Ma Xiaoyao can definitely guess it too. Maybe Ma Xiaoyao thinks you were also involved..."
Tian Zhengang's expression changed: "Then I have been implicated by Ding Xiong and others? No, I have to go to Ma Xiaoyao to explain! I will not take the blame!" Tian Zhengang stood up and left.
"Wait a minute!" Huarui stretched out his hand to hold Tian Zhengang: "If you go to Ma Xiaoyao to explain so rashly, will he believe it? Also, I paid attention during this period and there are indeed several secret sentries monitoring outside.
You... If nothing else, it must have been arranged by Ding Xiong and others. In other words, Ding Xiong and others no longer believe you. In fact, this incident is a good example of why Ding Xiong and others did it behind your back.
A heinous case? It’s because they don’t trust you anymore…”
"It's a good thing they don't trust me! I went directly to work under Ma Xiaoyao!" Tian Zhengang snorted.
"The key question is, will Ma Xiaoyao still believe you now?" Huarui said with a bitter smile.
Tian Zhengang was immediately asked...
"Ma Xiaoyao must now think that you have tricked him and that you helped Ding Xiong and others deceive him." Huarui continued: "If you go to find Ma Xiaoyao now, Ma Xiaoyao might kill you in a fit of rage."
"Then...then what should I do?" Tian Zhengang was a little panicked.
"Alas..." Huarui sighed: "Now that things have happened, I can only go and see Ma Xiaoyao on your behalf."
"You? No! It's too dangerous!"
"Then do you have a better way?"
"I……"
"If you go to see Ma Xiaoyao, there is an 80% chance that you won't come back. If I go to see Ma Xiaoyao, there is at least a half chance of success." Huarui said firmly: "Anxin is waiting at home, I will be back soon!
" Before Tian Zhengang could say anything, Hua Rui turned around and left resolutely.
"Alas..." Tian Zhengang sighed heavily: "What the hell is this!"
Waiting until dark, Hua Rui came back with a tired look.
"How's it going?" Tian Zhengang hurriedly greeted him.
"It's okay." Hua Rui gave an ambiguous reply.
"Just make do? What do you mean?" Tian Zhengang didn't understand: "What does make do mean?"
"I've already explained it to Ma Xiaoyao, but it seems like he doesn't quite believe me." Huarui said, "But Ma Xiaoyao decided to give us another chance. He said he would let us lurk in Ding Xiong and other places.
He is going around people to collect evidence that Ding Xiong and others violate laws and disciplines. As long as we get the evidence, he will let us go!"
"This matter is difficult to handle." Tian Zhengang's face twitched a few times: "Ding Xiong and others are so cunning and cunning that it is extremely difficult to collect their evidence..."
"If it were easy, Ma Xiaoyao wouldn't ask us for help." Hua Rui looked at Tian Zhengang with bright eyes: "This is our only chance. If we can't seize it, then our lives will be over."
Tian Zhengang hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "For a happy life in the future! We have to fight!"
