Xu Shuzheng stayed in Duan Qirui's office for a whole day. Since Duan Qirui had told him not to leave this door before leaving, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot in the room without knowing what the situation was. As time passed,

As the seconds passed, Xu Shuzheng's mood changed from anxious to uneasy and frightened. Countless thoughts were turning over and over in his mind. He hoped that the door would suddenly open and Duan Qirui returned safely and told himself that everything was fine, but he was also afraid of rushing out from behind the opened door.

A group of wolf-like soldiers captured him.

"Take away all positions, become a prisoner, try, go to jail... or even die?"

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. Xu Shuzheng, who looked as ugly as a dead man, felt regretful for the decision he had made for the first time. If there was a regret medicine for sale in this world, he would rather go bankrupt to buy a bottle. In the blink of an eye, he would buy a bottle.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and Duan Qirui still hadn't returned. Could it be that this last straw couldn't save him? Xu Shuzheng couldn't help but said sadly.

There was a soft creaking sound, and the sound of a key opening the door came from the door. Xu Shuzheng, who was sitting with his head in his arms a second ago, jumped up, staring blankly at the door, so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe.

From the moment the key opens the door to the moment the door opens, it only takes a few seconds, but Xu Shuzheng's feeling is as long as a whole season. When the door that determines his destiny finally opens, revealing the figure behind the door,

Xu Shuzheng's pupils suddenly locked, then his whole body shook, and then he deflated like a rubber ball that had lost all its air.

"The Jade Emperor, Lord Tathagata Buddha, Jesus Christ, the True God Allah... you can be regarded as blessing me, Lao Xu..."

There were no soldiers with live ammunition at the door, and no Secret Service action team in plainclothes appeared. There was only Duan Qirui at the door. Xu Shuzheng breathed a sigh of relief and realized that he was already sweating.

"Hmph! Only now do you feel afraid?"

Stepping into the door and closing it behind him, Duan Qirui looked at Xu Shuzheng's embarrassed expression and snorted coldly.

"What Lao Zhi taught me is that after you humble your position, you will never dare to make your own decisions again." Xu Shuzheng wiped his sweat and said with fear.

The cane paused on the floor for a moment, and Duan Qirui cursed angrily: "What? Do you still want to have a next time? It's clanking again and again. Do you know how much trouble you have caused this time? You must abide by the laws of the country.

According to military discipline, even cutting off your head will not be an exaggeration!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Xu Shuzheng nodded hurriedly, as well-behaved as a primary school student who was scolded by the teacher. However, after Duan Qirui scolded him, his uneasy mood improved a lot. Having been under Duan Qirui for a long time, Xu Shuzheng knew the character of his boss very well.

, the boss is willing to scold him, and scold him so fiercely and harshly, it means that he can forgive himself. If Duan Qirui remains silent and gets into trouble, he may be completely ruined.

As expected. After a scolding, Duan Qirui told Xu Shuzheng that the matter was okay for the time being. According to the decision of the cabinet meeting, Qu Tongfeng will be subject to a four-party review, and the Ministry of National Defense will also participate in it, although the outcome of the review is not yet known.

No matter what, but as long as Qu Tongfeng understands his intention, it shouldn't be a big problem to remove Xu Shuzheng from this matter.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhi, thank you, Mr. Zhi!" After hearing what Duan Qirui said, Xu Shuzheng knelt down without saying a word and kowtowed three times.

"Get up!"

Duan Qirui raised his hand, asked Xu Shuzheng to sit down opposite him, and said: "This matter is really too big, and I can only do this step with my ability. I know a thing or two about Qu Tongfeng, although his ability is not good.

He is strong, but he still has loyalty, and the news of the four-party trial should have reached Qu Tongfeng. With his cleverness, he will not be able to understand the mystery. As long as he insists on insisting on it, and I am involved in it, at most

In other words, he is accused of being stupid and seriously derelict in his duties. Of course, this person cannot stay in the Army Department, and his rank of major general will definitely be removed. Let’s find a way to properly resettle him after this incident is over.”

Duan Qirui's words were both an analysis and a plan to tell Xu Shuzheng about the case. Xu Shuzheng listened quietly and nodded silently. Although he had other ideas in mind, he still didn't dare to say it after thinking about it carefully. He waited for Duan Qirui to tell him.

After explaining the situation, Xu Shuzheng was asked to keep a low profile these days and never do anything else. Xu Shuzheng quickly agreed and then stood up to leave.

After leaving Duan Qirui's office, Xu Shuzheng walked downstairs in a daze, not even paying attention to others saying hello to him along the way. When he got to his office and locked the door, Xu Shuzheng carefully thought about the pros and cons of Duan Qirui's arrangement. Although he had never paid attention to it.

On the surface, Duan Qirui's arrangement is quite appropriate. Qu Tongfeng is indeed the kind of person Duan Qirui said, and he should be able to understand the purpose of this arrangement. But can he really pass the test like this? I have always been suspicious.

Xu Shuzheng couldn't help but feel deeply worried. In his opinion, the chances of Qu Tongfeng keeping his mouth shut were only 50-50. It wasn't that he didn't trust Qu Tongfeng, but that he was afraid that Qu Tongfeng wouldn't be able to pass the Secret Service. As a member of the military,

At the top, the Secret Service of the Intelligence Bureau, which appears to be directly under the General Staff Headquarters, is actually a minion that Fang Zida spent years carefully building. Xu Shuzheng knows a thing or two about their methods. Qu Tongfeng can survive for a while, but how can he survive for several consecutive years?

Will it happen? If the truth is revealed in the end, he will still be unable to escape the law.

"No! It must be solved completely." Xu Shuzheng had this idea when Duan Qirui explained the situation, but he didn't say it. After returning to the office and thinking about it, Xu Shuzheng still felt that Duan Qirui's arrangement was not very good.

Well, the only best way to completely protect yourself is to make Qu Tongfeng unable to speak. There is no absolute safety in this world, and no one can be absolutely trusted, unless the other person is a dead person.

Thinking of this, Xu Shuzheng's face showed a ferocious look and he made up his mind resolutely.

This major case soon began to be formally interrogated. It was transferred from the Secret Service cell to the prison. That is to say, Qu Tongfeng, who was formerly the prison of the Ministry of Punishment of the Qing Dynasty, was formally interrogated early the next morning. The main interrogators were Zhou Yuanliang and the Capital Police.

Director Wu Bingxiang, Secretary of the Ministry of Justice Hu Xianglin served as deputy examiners, and Lieutenant General Wu Guangxin sent by the Ministry of National Defense listened to the trial.

Due to Qu Tongfeng's identity, he was not given any torture equipment. However, the fake police uniform he was wearing at the time of the incident had long been replaced in prison. Now he is wearing an ordinary gray cotton coat. He was fat and cold because of the cold weather.

With his neck curled up, he looked like a rich country man.

After being taken out of prison, Qu Tongfeng was escorted into the interrogation room by two policemen. When he sat in the lonely "special chair" in the room, he squinted his eyes and looked at the four people sitting in a row opposite him.

After he saw clearly the person who was interrogating him, the corners of his mouth twitched ever so slightly, and he felt ecstatic.

Among the four people, except Zhou Yuanliang, the other three have friendships with him, especially Wu Guangxin of the Ministry of National Defense, who is a member of the Duan faction and Anhui clique like him. Even Wu Bingxiang, the director of the Capital Police Department, is the same as Duan Qirui.

Qu Tongfeng was greatly relieved when his fellow villagers came forward to interrogate him.

"Qu Tongfeng, do you know your guilt?"

As the deputy judge, Wu Bingxiang asked the question first, with a stern look on his face.

"Crime? What crime?" Qu Tongfeng, who was sitting, looked confused and shook his head.

Wu Bingxiang immediately picked up a piece of paper and read the contents on it. These contents were what happened yesterday. After reading, he slapped the paper on the table and asked another question.

"Injustice! I am even more unjust than Dou E!" Qu Tongfeng shouted injustice, refusing to admit that he had ulterior motives for leading the people. He took out the same drill rhetoric he used when he was arrested yesterday, and repeatedly emphasized that he was under orders from the Ministry of War.

It's just a small-scale exercise with the soldiers.

"Still quibbling!" Wu Bingxiang turned to Wu Guangxin and asked: "What are the results of the investigation by your Ministry of National Defense? Does the subordinate Army Ministry have such an order?"

"According to the internal investigation of the Ministry of National Defense, there is absolutely no such thing! I have brought an official letter from the Ministry of National Defense to prove it." Wu Guangxin said expressionlessly, took out an official letter from his bag and handed it over.

After receiving the official letter, Wu Bingxiang glanced at it, waved it at Qu Tongfeng and sneered: "You keep saying that you were ordered by the Ministry of War. Now the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of War have issued official letters stating that this is absolutely not the case. How do you explain this?

?”

"I... don't know!" Qu Tongfeng spread his hands.

"I don't know! Then let me ask you, who gave you the order? Is there any official document?"

"No, not at all. Does such a small exercise need a formal document? The order was notified by an internal phone call. I didn't see anyone, but the voice on the phone sounded familiar. It should be the staff next to the department boss, but

I really can’t remember what your name is…”

Qu Tongfeng is like a dead pig who is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. He talks nonsense. The more Wu Bingxiang listened, the angrier he became. He took out another transcript and asked: "This is the confession of several leading officers of your guard camp. Their account is the same as what you said."

It’s completely different, how do you explain this?”

"False accusation! This is definitely a frame-up!" Qu Tongfeng looked excited, waving his hands and shouting: "I am unjustly accused! Calling to notify the drill, and bribed junior officers, these are all traps set by someone with ulterior motives, in order to frame the

I!"

Zhou Yuanliang, as the chief interrogator, did not speak. He kept sitting and watching Qu Tongfeng's wonderful performance. During the entire hour of interrogation, Qu Tongfeng refused to admit guilt and rambled nonsense. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he

None of what he said was tenable, but as one of the parties to the interrogation, he could not produce direct evidence for the time being. The case seemed to be at a standstill. After another half an hour, Zhou Yuanliang suggested that Qu Tongfeng be tortured. He was immediately tortured.

When it comes to the objections of the co-trials, the objections are justified. After all, Qu Tongfeng is not an ordinary person, and the case is serious, and the punishment must not be used lightly.

"You little brat, are you going to fight me? Hum hum!" Qu Tongfeng couldn't be prouder that it was so easy to pry his two mouths apart? The four parties will interrogate, what can you, Zhou Yuanliang, do to me?

"Everyone, you have misunderstood. Of course I will not use physical torture on General Qu. However, our Secret Service naturally has another method for how to interrogate such a prisoner. Maybe we can try it."

After listening to Zhou Yuanliang's explanation and promising that Qu Tongfeng would never be tortured or interrogated, the co-trials thought about it and agreed. After all, behind Zhou Yuanliang was Fang Zida, and behind Fang Zida was Song Jiaoren. Everyone knew this.
