Wu Jie was silent, as far as he was concerned, he actually admired Qiu Xiang and their secret team, the Freemasons, and everything they did was to make Hongmen stronger and Li Tianyang's rule more stable.

During the investigation by the Department of Internal and External Security and Inspection, the investigators found that the Freemasonry had secretly carried out many tasks since its establishment, including the secret execution of discovered spies, serious troublemakers, and guiding the people to support Li Tianyang's leadership, but their actions were consistent with their purpose, at least for now, they seem to have played a role in promoting and stabilizing Hongmen.

"But don't forget, the regulations and military regulations of our Hongtang Military Department have hard and fast rules on the duties of soldiers, and soldiers are never allowed to act privately, and the duty of soldiers is to obey orders!!"

Wu Jie slapped the table and scolded Qiu Xiang sharply.

But rules are rules, and Hongmen will never allow such a secret group to use Hongmen's resources in an unscrupulous way to promote Li Tianyang's actions that they don't know about.

If this goes on for a long time, who can guarantee that their future actions will not do something greater, and who can guarantee that they will still maintain their original intentions and will not deteriorate.

"It's obviously a plan that is of great benefit to our Hongmen, but it has not been able to be implemented because of your foresight, which is not only a loss for our team, but also a dereliction of duty for your leaders!!"

Wu Jie's stern attitude did not frighten Qiu Xiang, but instead reprimanded Wu Jie and their superiors sharply: "As a leader, our Admiral is benevolent and righteous, after all, he needs to let the public know how he behaves, and he can't have such and such a stain; But you, as commanders, can't share your worries about the admiral's heat, and suppress things that should have been carried out by you, and you have a good reputation for doing what you are told, but it is not because of your selfishness, and you don't want your reputation to be tarnished and condemned. ”

"Since all of you are unwilling to share your worries for Lord Admiral, then we, the disciples cultivated by the Hongmen, took the initiative to carry out this plan, you should be grateful to us!"

"Of course, it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders, but the ancients once said that generals will not be subject to military orders abroad, and you have also read the plan of the Xiaoshan doctor, not only the resources required for implementation are not much, but also how much can the Qing people deal a heavy blow, why have you been reluctant to carry it out?"

Compared with Wu Jie's eloquence, Qiu Xiang, a young man, is even more eloquent, and Wu Jie and they can't refute it for a long time.

An interrogation lasted for more than an hour, and it was not so much that Wu Jie was interrogating Qiu Xiang, but that Qiu Xiang was questioning Wu Jie and the incompetence of these superiors.

After finally taking Qiu Xiang down, Wu Jie and the other interrogators couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on their faces, shaking their heads and sighing.

The same scene is not isolated in the interrogation of hundreds of Freemasons, who are not only extremely loyal to Li Tianyang, but also elites cultivated by Hongmen, with extremely strong execution and self-awareness, and many people with outstanding eloquence.

None of the people in their group who were arrested and interrogated regretted what they had done, nor did they hide anything from their actions, and they firmly believed that what they had done was to share the worries of Hongmen and the pressure on Li Tianyang.

Therefore, when interrogating, most of them were righteous and upright, and at the same time, they firmly believed that their concept was a dedication to Hongmen, which made the interrogation of them and other members of Wu Jie and other cadres all feel a headache.

Even Li Tianyang was always paying attention to the trend of this incident and learning about the details of the interrogation, and at the same time, Li Tianyang himself felt deeply guarded against this group of secret members of the Freemasonry, and at the same time, he was not relieved in his heart: his own ideas could be shared by so many young people, and he was willing to give his life for it as a practice.

For this group of hundreds of Hongmen elites in various industries, Li Tianyang himself also felt a very headache, according to the rules and regulations, although they violated the duties of soldiers and subordinates, and privately carried out some actions, but fundamentally speaking, these actions are beneficial to Hongmen and harmless, the starting point is good, but in terms of merit and rules and regulations, it cannot reach an extremely serious point, because there must be many flaws in the contemporary Hongmen charter system at that time, There is no system of severe punishment for such cases.

The most important point is that these hundreds of elites are the backbone of their respective departments, and if they really want to do what Li Tianyang envisions as an example of killing chickens and monkeys, they will not even be able to pass the level in their own hearts.

Hongmen is now an endless stream of talents, and hundreds of outstanding talents graduate from the school every year, but compared with Hongmen's vigorous expansion business, as well as their long-term layout for the future, no matter how many talents are worth cherishing, not to mention such a group of practical talents who have made excellent achievements in their respective positions, it is a rare talent.

But if we don't give this distinction a severe punishment, who can guarantee that there will not be the next Freemasonry and countless Freemasons in the Hongmen.

A team that can't be cohesively cohesively will collapse sooner or later, and a leader who can't control the situation will eventually become a stepping stone for others to step onto the throne.

Li Tianyang may not have cared about his status before, but after staying in the position of leader for so many years, he has turned a weak team from no one in Hongmen into a behemoth that controls thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Daimyo Sea today, and his psychology is no longer the ignorant boy he was at the beginning.

His ambition is no longer just to shrink down to live and work in peace, but to embark on the road of world domination, so how can he be willing to let the team he has carefully built be handed over, how can he be willing to watch it become a flawed and deformed monster.

Therefore, the idea of killing chickens and monkeys is not his imagination, but he has made up his mind in his heart, and after thinking about it, how to keep this group of colleagues who can be made up, and so that Hongmen's loss will not be in an unacceptable situation.

And Freemasonry is a group that can never stay, this kind of spontaneously established organization, with firm beliefs and clear goals, even if it is helpful for him Li Tianyang personally, as well as for the Hongmen group, but it itself has made a bad example, but it is even greater.
