The Zichuan family has always treated military generals preferentially, unless they are guilty of rebellion, for senior generals, even if they are confined and confined they are very warm.

Zi Chuan Xiu's residence is a two-story villa, the air outside the window is fresh, the scenery is picturesque, the room is well equipped, the food and service are excellent, the two orderly soldiers are ready to call at any time, and even once Meng Keduo took the initiative to ask Zi Chuan Xiu "Do you need a woman" - it is hard to believe that this kind of words came from this serious person, Zi Chuan Xiu heard a few stars on his head.

From the mouths of the guards, Zichuan Xiu learned that this manor was originally the secret palace of Zichuan Shenxing's usual winter vacation, and it was usually a forbidden area, no wonder even Zichuan Xiu didn't know that there was such a picturesque place in the suburbs of Danya City.

The chief actually used his palace as Zi Chuan Xiu's temporary residence, and in terms of treatment, he really had nothing to complain about, only one fly in the ointment: Zi Chuan Xiu couldn't go out.

The guards guarded the whole villa day and night, as soon as he walked out of the door, someone immediately came up and politely asked him what else he needed, if not, then Hidekawa-sama, you better go back to your room and rest, don't be tired.

The guards guarding Shikawa Xiu were all officers and soldiers from the Praetorian Guard or non-commissioned officers and students who had just graduated from the Far Eastern Military Academy, and none of them had served under Zichuan Xiu, Stirling, or Dilin.

Normally, this kind of work was carried out by the military police, but now it is clear that the gendarmerie can no longer be trusted, just as they cannot be trusted to arrest Dilling.

Zi Chuan Xiu tried several times, but the result was that he was blocked back before he reached the corridor, it was useless for him to plead, it was useless to be angry, and the guards received the strictest order: "Don't let Zi Chuan Xiu go out and contact with the outside world!" ”

They carried out this order meticulously.

Once, Zichuan Xiu was ready to break in, but the guards lined up at the door, each holding a wolf dog in their hands.

Meng Keduo said politely: "We all know that you are a master, and we can't stop you, not to mention that we don't dare to offend you." It's just that we recognize your noble status, but we're afraid that these wolf dogs don't recognize you. ”

He made a gesture, the guards let go together, and more than a dozen wolf dogs pounced silently like arrows off the string, opening their mouths to show their white teeth, and their blood-red eyes staring at Zi Chuanxiu's throat!

Zichuan Xiu's soul was scattered, and he hurriedly closed the door, and the wolf dogs pounced through the window with bared teeth.

Zi Chuanxiu ran so much that he didn't even need shoes, and he played at a super level, jumped to the roof with his bare feet, and more than a dozen wolf dogs snorted and grabbed the wall to climb up.

On that day, the darkest scene that was enough to shame the battle flag of the Black Flag Army was performed: Zi Chuanxiu, the commander of the Black Flag Army, a famous general of the anti-demon clan and loved by tens of millions of soldiers and civilians in the southwest, hugged the black chimney on the roof with his bare feet and let out a wolf-like miserable wail in the dark night: "Help, ......"

Since the failure of that great prison escape feat, Shikawa Xiu has finally given up: unless he is crazy and uses a moon washing knife to open a way out, it is impossible to get out.

The books in the study were quickly finished, and he could not touch the newspapers of the outside world, so he had nothing to do every day, except for eating and sleeping, and his greatest entertainment was to sit at the window and watch the sun rise in the east and set in the west, watch the birds fly over the treetops, know that he was singing, watch the moon shine brightly, the stars are like dust, and always see his eyes straight.

In the past, Rong Ma was in a hurry, and Zi Chuanxiu often complained that he was born to work hard, but now that he was really idle, he realized that it was also a kind of happiness to be busy.

Bored and lonely and panicked, in less than a week, Zichuan Xiu had learned to speak to himself. This idle life was a great destruction of intelligence, and he was horrified to find that his thinking ability and speed were much worse, and he had to find a deck of playing cards to play with his left hand and his right hand - if he didn't find something to do, he would really be suffocated!

So, when Monctor informed Shikawa that the investigation team had asked for an immediate interrogation, he happily walked into the interrogation room.

The interrogation was presided over by Luo Minghai, Vaglar and several elders that Zi Chuan Xiu didn't know - of course, they introduced themselves, but Zi Chuan Xiu didn't listen at all, he opened his mouth and asked Luo Minghai, "When will you let me out?" ”

Before Luo Minghai could say anything, Vaglar shouted with a straight face: "Zichuan Xiu, do you still want to go out?" After so many days, haven't you reflected on your sins? ”

Shikawa squinted his eyes at Vaglar for a moment, then turned his head away without saying a word, and although he didn't say anything, the contempt was already visible.

Vagrar's face flushed with anger, and he slapped the table: "Zichuan Xiu, on December 28, 783, you murdered one hundred and twenty-three adults of the Ma Wei family, is there such a thing?" ”

Zi Chuanxiu slapped the table louder and shouted: "On December 24, 783, Ma Wei colluded with the Japanese to launch a mutiny to kill his superiors, is there such a thing? ”

"Zi Chuanxiu, between late December 783 and early January 784, you killed 453 innocent civilians in the name of quelling the mutiny, ordered the army to illegally detain 2,135 civilians, and confiscated all the property in the name of the Ma family, is this true?"

"Is it true that the Ma family has secretly fornicated with the Japanese for 70 years, provided food and hiding bases for the Japanese invaders, helped the Japanese sell their stolen goods, and made huge illegal income? Is it true that the Ma gang has been wreaking havoc in the southwest for many years, preying on the common people, oppressing the innocent, doing many evils, and having a lot of blood debts, bribing officials and elders, and hating them to the core? Is it true that Vaglar, on June 15, 781, accepted a bribe of 300,000 silver coins from Machin, and then accepted a bribe of 100,000 every month? ”

The inquisitors were stunned, and everyone looked at Vaglar in shock.

Wagrar trembled all over, his face turned blue and white for a while, and he struggled and said, "Zichuan Xiu, don't spew blood!" You have absolutely no proof! ”

"Here's the proof! The receipt you wrote after collecting the money Ma Wei has been collected, and I have found it when I searched the house, and I can take it out at any time! ”

"You talk nonsense!" Waglar stood up and said loudly, "I didn't write a receipt at all, I-"

Vaglar suddenly stopped, looked around in fear, and saw the shocked expressions of his colleagues next to him, and his face turned white: "I-I-I mean, I didn't take that money!" ”

"Hahaha!" Zi Chuanxiu hugged her stomach and leaned back with a smile: "I've seen a lot of stupid people, but the first one to see you so stupid!" ”

"Your Excellency Vaglar," President Luo Minghai stood up with a gloomy face: "You can explain this matter to me later." Now, because of your involvement in the Ma Wei case, it is no longer appropriate for you to remain in this investigation team. Please recuse yourself. Come! ”

Two non-commissioned officers and students in straight uniforms appeared at the door, and Luo Minghai pointed at Wagrar: "Take him down, don't let him come into contact with outsiders!" ”

The guards couldn't help but say that they had put Waglar up and ran, and then Waglar came to his senses and shouted: "Your Excellency, my lord, listen to my explanation!" I'm going to explain...... I'm a patriarch, you can't do this to me! ”

The miserable screams gradually faded away, and seeing Vaglar disappear at the door, Luo Minghai spat fiercely: "Scum! Shame on you! ”

Zi Chuanxiu looked at Luo Minghai quietly. Although Luo Minghai has many things that make him unpleasant, he is narrow-minded, he is short-sighted, he has a strong sense of grudges, he is not handsome, and he has bad breath, but no one can say that Luo Minghai is a greedy official.

As the first person in the bureaucratic system of the Zichuan family, if he wants to collect money, he has many opportunities, but he is notoriously honest and upright, on Ma Wei's long bribery list, Zichuan Xiu couldn't find his name from beginning to end, and even his nemesis Di Lin had to admit: "Luo Minghai is not greedy for money." ”

He firmly believes that "if there is no desire, he is strong", but he is as incorruptible as water, and lives a hard life like an ascetic. He was a man with an extremely firm inner heart, strong as iron, experienced and extremely capable, with a wealth of political skills, and loyal to the Zichuan family.

If he had appeared in a different period, he would have gone down in history as the most outstanding minister of the Zichuan family, but sadly, he appeared in the same era as Di Lin, and he was still Di Lin's enemy!

Di Lin is so good, he is as dazzling as the sun, and those who are his enemies are finally reduced to inconspicuous foil stars.

This trial is also unprecedented, the prisoner actually brought down the judge, and the other elders were a little embarrassed, but Luo Minghai continued to preside over the interrogation as if nothing happened: "Zichuan Xiu, even if Ma Wei is rebellious, you should also ask your superiors before sending troops to suppress it!" You cut first and then play, it is for unauthorized and ultra viress behavior! ”

"Your Excellency the President, please open Article 121 of the Military Law Regulations, whenever there is a dangerous event such as rebellion, mutiny, or enemy attack, the regional military head has the right to make decisions in a crisis, and there is no need to consult the imperial capital in advance. At that time, Ma Wei was in charge of a rebellion against one division and one province, and if decisive measures were not taken at that time, the rebellion could have spread and spread. As the commander of the Black Flag Army, it is my right and duty to take decisive action to crush the rebellion. ”

"Even though your quelling of the mutiny is legal, it is beyond the scope of the quelling of the mutiny that you have killed so many civilians."

"According to the request of the Imperial Capital General Supervision Office on December 27, in order to investigate the cause of the death of the commander of Yunshanhe that year, the Black Flag Army was ordered to take a comprehensive investigation action against the Ma family.

Luo Minghai asked loudly, Zi Chuanxiu refuted sentence by sentence, roaring like thunder, if anyone else watched, they would not be able to figure out who was trying whom.

Although Luo Minghai has a good cultivation, he can't stand Zi Chuanxiu's "one word and nine tops", he stared at Zichuan Xiu sternly: "Commander Zichuan, don't think that all the witnesses have killed you, you can fabricate the facts at will!" We also have a rather important witness who said something completely different from you! ”

"Your Excellency, how can you believe those hearsay rumors?"

"Commander Zichuan, that person is a first-hand witness, he was personally present at the time!"

"Oh?" Zichuan raised his eyebrows: "He claimed to be there at the time, then he lied, President Ling, I asked to confront him face to face." ”

Luo Minghai and a few elders bowed their heads and discussed for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, send the No. 1 witness in." ”

Although he didn't believe it very much, Zi Chuanxiu was still curious about what kind of "first-hand witness" Luo Minghai could come up with, and turned his head to look at the door.

Amid the sound of scurping footsteps, a tall, familiar figure in a dark blue military uniform appeared in the doorway.

Zi Chuanxiu was so shocked that Huo Ran stood up and said loudly: "Impossible! You...... You're dead, it's a fake! ”

The man turned his head and glanced at Zichuan Xiu, his eyes full of bitter hatred.

Seeing his eyes, Zi Chuanxiu immediately knew that this could not be disguised, that kind of crazy and desperate look, he had only seen one person in his life!

Mavi! He's still alive! How is this possible, isn't he already dead on the island of the Wakos? I also saw his head with my own eyes, and so many widows confirmed it...... Ah, the stand-in! How could a guy like Ma Wei, who has a lot of enemies, not have a few stand-ins? Fooled yourself, damn it!

Zi Chuanxiu's mind was in chaos, and his mind was like a hundred thousand bees flying and buzzing.

In the haze, he faintly heard Ma Wei's voice: "...... Returning to the words of the President, I think Commander Shikawa has misunderstood me about the truth about December 24. Commander Zichuan is my respected and beloved boss, and I have no grievances with him, so what reason should I have to murder him? Moreover, the commander also accused me of inciting the army to launch a mutiny, which is even more ridiculous: if I were really rebellious, I would not have mutined in the presence of a family commander! The 35th Division is the family's army, and it is impossible to besiege a commander under my orders! The facts were as follows: On the evening of December 24, I received an alert that a group of Japanese troops was about to enter and intrude, and happened to pass through the eleventh post where the commander was located. In order to ensure the safety of the commander, I immediately took the 2nd Regiment of the 35th Division to the rescue, and when I arrived at my destination, I encountered the 11th outpost besieged by the Japanese bandits. Our army fought to the death with the Japanese invaders, and just as our army defeated the Japanese invaders, the Lin family defense department troops led by Lin Rui suddenly appeared to attack our army, and they stormed the encirclement of our army and let go of the Japanese troops. At that time, I was very angry, and stepped forward to reason with him, and while arguing, Lin Rui suddenly coerced the commander to leave, of course, as a subordinate, I hurriedly led the troops to rescue the adults, who knew that Lin Rui suddenly ordered the troops of the Security Department to attack. Our officers and men were unprepared, and the casualties were very heavy......"

Seeing Ma Wei's speech, it stands to reason that Zichuan Xiu should have stood up to refute at this time, but to everyone's surprise, Zichuan Xiu didn't say a word as if he was sleepwalking.

Luo Minghai asked: "Ma Wei Qiben, what you said is completely different from that of Commander Zichuan. Commander Zichuan accused you of colluding with the Japanese Invaders that night, do you have any explanation? ”

Ma Wei sneered: "Your Excellency, as the guardian of a province in my family, I have exterminated no less than ten gangs of Japanese bandits and beheaded several people during my tenure - the commander actually accused me of colluding with the Japanese bandits, which is also ridiculous!" Didn't he also say that I died on the island of the Wakos? As a result, what you adults have seen, I am here in good condition! As for why the Commander would accuse me, I have an explanation: Ladies and gentlemen, you may wish to investigate the situation of Commander Zichuan's private property, since he arrived in the southwest, he has suddenly become rich, and a lot of his property was given to him from the Lin family. Ladies and gentlemen, where did the Japanese enter the country that night? Lin family. Who let them go?

It's still the Lin family. And the commander of Zichuan has received a lot of benefits from Lin Rui - who is the envoy of the Japanese Invaders, and who is it who colluded with the Japanese Invaders to kill the civilians, isn't it more obvious? ”

"Commander Zichuan, you have heard what Your Excellency Ma Wei said, do you have anything to say?"

"Ahh Hearing his name called, Zichuan Xiu staggered to his feet as if he had been woken up from his sleep: "President Lord, I have something to say." ”

He took two steps, as if he were about to make some tirade.

Suddenly, Zi Chuanxiu jumped up like a leopard and rushed towards the non-commissioned officer and student guard standing at the door, before the guard could react, he had already pulled out the saber on the guard's waist, and his body was as fast as lightning, and the flash of the knife had already torn through the space on Ma Wei's seat - it was empty!

At the same time as Zichuan Xiu launched, Ma Wei quickly rolled on the spot and rolled under the inquisitor's table.

Zichuan Xiuwei was stunned, and the second knife slashed down without stopping, with a crackling sound, a huge judgment table was neatly chopped into two sides and fell, but Ma Wei's figure was already missing under the table: he had already hidden behind Luo Minghai!

Zichuan Xiu was speechless: Couldn't this guy have learned Shu Ying's ninjutsu?

It all happened so quickly that it was only then that the judges reacted: "Someone! Kill! ”

Outside the door, there was the sound of the guard's rapid footsteps, exclaiming: "There is murder inside!" ”

Zi Chuanxiu stepped on the table that was split into two sides and jumped over, pointing a knife at Luo Minghai: "Lord President, please get out of the way!" ”

Luo Minghai didn't move, and said with a blushing face: "Commander Zichuan, you might as well slash me with a knife!" ”

The corners of Zi Chuanxiu's eyes twitched slightly: "My lord, this guy is a scourge!" Let him live, the Zichuan family will not be at peace!

"I think you're more of a scourge, Commander Zichuan."

Ma Wei hid behind Luo Minghai and said with heartfelt emotion: "Is it right that the adults are right!" Zichuan Xiu is not removed, Zichuan is restless! ”

"Shut up!"

Zi Chuanxiu and Luo Minghai yelled at Ma Wei almost at the same time, and the guards rushed into the house, and more than a dozen sabers were forced in front of Zi Chuanxiu: "Put down your weapons immediately, Lord Zi Chuanxiu, otherwise you will be killed on the spot!" ”

"Okay, I'll put it down." Zi Chuanxiu waved his hand freely, and the saber turned into a white light and flew out, Ma Wei immediately shrank his head, "Snort! There was a sharp thud, and the saber almost grazed his cheek, "Ding!" There was a sound, and it was inserted into the white wall behind Ma Wei, and the blade of the knife was buzzing and trembling.

Everyone was shocked: the walls of the interrogation room were all made of solid granite, and Zi Chuanxiu's power with a casual throw could actually make a person half a foot into the wall, and the height of his martial arts was simply appalling!

Ma Wei even touched the blood marks on his face that were blown out by the knife wind, and his soul was scattered: if he hadn't shrunk his head quickly just now, this would have been a sharp knife piercing his brain!

The guards rushed up and pressed Shikawa back into the chair with their hands and feet.

Zichuan Xiu didn't struggle either, and let them handcuff themselves.

Seeing Ma Wei walking out of the door under the protection of the guards, Zi Chuanxiu's pupils shrank widely: If Ma Wei dies or dies by himself, there is no room for compromise!

Luo Minghai got up and said solemnly: "Commander Zichuan, on the basis of the original charge, now I will accuse you of attempting to murder the family's active officer Ma Wei Qiben, what do you have to say?" ”

Zichuan Xiu sneered in return.

"This is the end of the first trial, then!"

As if he was afraid of being questioned by Zi Chuanxiu, Luo Minghai hurriedly walked out of the main entrance, and the other judges followed him, walking faster than the other, and the guards took Zi Chuanxiu back to the original small villa.

I couldn't imagine that Ma Wei was not dead, and Zichuan Xiu stayed in the room for a long time.

Zi Chuanxiu also knew that his purging of the Ma family was not thorough.

Outside the southwest, such as the Northwest Fengfang Military Region, the Imperial Capital Military Region, and the Eastern Military Administrative Region, that is where their own forces are beyond their reach, and in those places, the Ma family still has a large residual force.

Ma Wei is not dead, the situation has to be re-estimated - like his sudden suspension for interrogation this time, Zichuan Xiu was still puzzled at first: Who would offend an active commander for a dead ghost Ma Wei?

The dinner that night was very rich, roast chicken, steak, aged wine, and the dishes were also very fragrant, but Shikawa Xiu was really depressed, and he only moved his chopsticks a little and stopped eating, and the wine was only slightly stained on his lower lip, and he felt that the taste was a little sour.

He turned to Monctor and said, "This wine is a little sour...... Before he could finish speaking, a wave of dizziness hit him, and he struggled to stand up, and suddenly the world spun around.

He staggered twice, his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground, and the last image left in his sight was the frightened face of Monctor.

When Zi Chuanxiu woke up again, he only felt weak, and his chest and abdomen were burning like a burning pain, and his head was splitting.

When he woke up, he saw Qin Lu's concerned face for the first time, and Qin Lu was pleasantly surprised: "My lord, are you awake?" How are you feeling? ”

"It's okay......" When he spoke, even Zi Chuanxiu himself was startled, sandy and hoarse, and his voice was so low that he could barely hear it: "What's wrong with me?" ”

"Poison in dinner! Fortunately, you only ate a little bit, and your body is strong, so you were lucky enough to get back a life! ”

"Dinner is poisonous?" Zi Chuan Xiu repeated slowly, as if he had taken a nap, dizzy and difficult to think.

"My lord, you have just woken up, so you should not be too tired. You don't have to worry, just rest in peace, I'll keep watch over you. ”

Groggy, Shikawa Xiu once again fell into a sleeping swamp.

Late that night, Shikawa Xiu woke up again. Outside the window was a dark wood, and the first quarter moon hung in the sky, and the clear moonlight filled the room.

The room was silent, and there was no one.

Shikawa Xiu was so thirsty that there seemed to be a fire burning in his throat, and he struggled to get up and walked to the table to pour saliva and drink. Shaking the kettle, but it was empty, he put it back in disappointment.

"Do you want to drink water?" In this quiet night, this sudden sound was particularly thrilling, and Zi Chuanxiu was so frightened that he turned around and saw a swarthy figure standing in the shadows in front of the door. Seeing that Zichuan Xiu didn't answer, he asked again: "Do you want to drink water?" ”

"Ah, you're Moncteau!" Recognizing the voice, Shikawa Xiu breathed a sigh of relief: "When did you come in?" ”

Monctor's tall and thin figure emerged from the shadows, and the snow-white moonlight shone on his long, thin face, which looked very pale.

He held a kettle in his hand and poured a glass of water for Zi Chuanxiu silently: "My lord, please use it." ”

Shikawa Xiu's cup was raised to his lips, and suddenly, he noticed that Monctor's eyes were flickering, and he stared fixedly at his hand holding the cup, and his Adam's apple twitched silently.

Zi Chuanxiu's heart moved: Why is he so nervous? Pouring tea and pouring water to wait for people, that is the work of a servant, why did the deputy flag of the dignified guard come in late at night with a kettle to do this kind of work?
