"Don't be afraid! I'm not going to put on a feast for you. Huang Ke patted Wang Maocai, who was sitting on the side, and said calmly.

Wang Maocai smiled bitterly, wiped the sweat on his head from time to time and muttered, "How come? How so? The commander was overwhelmed. ”

"No, I'm here today to persuade you, not to scare you." Huang Ke stood up from his seat as he spoke, he picked up the purple clay pot teacup in front of him and took a pleasant sip, and then walked around the table slowly.

"I've heard some people say that some of you have robbed and seized a lot of property, flouted the law, and even encountered cases of armed resistance to law enforcement during the investigation of the integrity department?" Huang Ke raised his eyebrows, and suddenly turned to the other side.

The faces of several people changed visibly, either frightened or shocked.

"Commander, we are all following you to fight the world, who the hell slander we are actually pointing at you, we are greedy for a little money, but in the end we are all clean." Batu stood up and said puffingly.

"Yes, to say that we flout the law is a slander! Who the fuck said I'm confronting him face to face! Wang Maocai also said angrily.

Cui Wu, who has never spoken, also echoed, and you argued at the wine table. Huang Ke waved his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"You are all people who have fought with me in the south and the north and fought together, and now it has been more than ten years since I started the army in Xiguan, and you and I have become high-ranking members from ordinary people at the beginning. The heavy soldiers in his hands, in charge of the eating, drinking, and Lazar of hundreds of thousands of people, guarding a fertile land, were all governor-level figures in the former Qing Dynasty. ”

Huang Ke smiled heartily after speaking, and everyone laughed in unison. Everyone is furious when he said this, could it be that Commander Huang wants to have a "glass of wine to release military power"?

Without waiting for everyone to think about it, Huang Ke continued: "I remember that the British liberal political commentator Lord Acton said that absolute power leads to absolute corruption! When you become a party leader, you naturally have absolute power in your hands. The main reason for corruption lies with me, not you, after all, everyone is selfish! ”

Everyone was up and down in their hearts, Huang Ke didn't know what these words meant, did he still want to follow the example of the ancients and issue an "edict for sin"?

Just when everyone couldn't figure out the situation, Huang Ke suddenly changed his words and said: "It's my meaning that the integrity department investigates you, don't blame the volunteers, if he doesn't check, someone will naturally investigate, and if he checks, he will confiscate some property, if others check it, you won't be here to meet me today!" ”

Huang Ke slapped it on the table and suddenly became angry, and no one in the room dared to speak, and suddenly fell silent. He motioned to Fourteen Tsai to bring things, Fourteen Tsai ran to the house with a guard, and the two of them laboriously moved over a wicker box, Huang Ke kicked the box and said: "You have made great achievements over the years, but you have also made many mistakes. A few days ago, when the anti-corruption department was investigating, the volunteers recorded all your merits and demerits here, so you may wish to take a look. ”

Then he opened the box and took out the notebook recorded in it at random, and read it casually: "In June of the 17th year of the Republic of China, Wang Maocai robbed a house in Chengdu by means of guns and guns, and in March of the following year, he put the plaintiff in prison and led troops to besiege the courtroom......

"This ......" Wang Mao was about to speak, Huang Ke smiled and said, "Don't worry, look at Batu again!" General Batu had 17 palaces in the Mongolian steppe, as well as 10,000 cattle and sheep and vast grasslands, and also touched the local oil and steel...... Ahem! It's really rich. ”

Batu's face gradually became difficult to see, because he had been stationed in Mongolia, he rarely came to Nanjing, and this time when the integrity department carried out an internal investigation in the army, he was spared. It's just that he didn't expect that his details would also be checked clearly, and thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Huang Ke didn't pay attention to the expressions of these people, and continued to read the accusations of other people. One by one, Huang Ke was shocked, and a few minutes later, Huang Ke took out a few books that were still on the ground, took a sip of tea and said: "My mouth is dry!" ”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone was silent. Huang Ke suddenly dropped the purple clay pot in his hand on the box, and after hearing a snap, he scolded loudly: "Look at the good things you have done over the years!" It's time to be shot a dozen times, and now they still have the face to sit here and shout at me? I'm ashamed of you! ”

Wang Maocai and Batu glanced at each other, and the two immediately stood up and said, "Commander, we were wrong!" ”

Everyone else stood up at the table, their heads bowed like schoolchildren who had done something wrong. Huang Ke turned his back to them and said nothing, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.

After a while, Huang Ke turned his back to everyone and said lightly: "The next round of military reform of the National Defense Force will carry out more in-depth military reforms, and these reforms are based on the employment system. Until then, officers with any taint will not be able to be hired, and without military power, your crimes will be shot! ”

After speaking, Huang Ke went upstairs directly, leaving a string of heavy footsteps.

Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say, Fourteen Tsai came over and said: "Brothers, the commander is not in a very good mood these days, and the other faction is pressing very tightly, and no one can catch any tricks at the moment." ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that in fact, they already knew about the factional dispute between the high-level, but they didn't understand the next development process, and now it seems that the two sides have become white-hot. And these veterans of their Xiguan faction are naturally classified as Huang Ke's faction, and if they don't handle their backyard well at this juncture, they will lose their heads.

"Fourteen, you spend a lot of time with the commander, what should you do with our people? If we want to say that we are not a big deal, we just occupy some land and houses. Wang Maocai asked eagerly.

Fourteen Tsai glared at him: "Commander Wang, your problem is the most serious, I heard that in Fujian, even Jiangnan Heavy Industry dares to rob things?" You have to know that Jiangnan Heavy Industry is the most important supplier of military equipment, can that be messed with? Not much to say, the looted property should be returned, and it is important to apologize, so go back and hurry up. ”

After hearing this, everyone was relieved. After everyone left, Xu Shaozhou smiled at Fourteen Tsai: "I knew that I regretted it today." Why do you think they covet these things? Life does not bring death, and death does not bring it. ”

Fourteen Tsai smiled bitterly: "If you are like Minister Xu, the commander will have a lot less trouble." To tell you the truth, the commander actually has a record today! ”

As he spoke, Fourteen pointed to the corridors on both sides of the main hall, where Xu Shaozhou saw more than 20 heavily armed guards quietly withdrawing.

He smiled and said, "The commander has good intentions, but I don't know how much they can comprehend!" ”

"Minister Xu, you should pay more attention to the Air Force, there may be some big moves in the near future." Fourteen Tsai suddenly said.

Xu Shaozhou nodded: "Please rest assured, Commander, the Air Force must be a force loyal to the country and dare to fight." ”

After saying that, the two shook hands cordially, and Xu Shaozhou left the Huang Mansion with strong steps.

Back in the upstairs study, Huang Ke was correcting documents at his desk. Fourteen Tsai stepped forward and said, "Commander, they're all gone." ”

"Hmm." Huang Ke said without raising his head: "You go to follow up on this matter, if anyone is playing any more tricks, don't notify me, just tell the volunteers to take people directly, if there is a resistant, they will be killed on the spot!" ”

……

The next day, the group hurried back to the station and returned the real estate, real estate and other things that had been looted through various illegal means. Cui Wu and Batu did not occupy many things, and secondly, there were no vicious cases in these things, so their assets were almost liquidated in less than a week.

Because of the full preparation in advance, the Anti-Corruption Department did not find anything. But when everyone felt a sigh of relief, Wang Maocai made a difficulty. The reason is very simple, he can't vomit after eating too much, and the anti-corruption department has already found out, and in the morning, the anti-corruption department has already gone to his mansion and has not caught anyone, and the inspection team of the anti-corruption department has already arrived at the theater headquarters and is waiting in the living room.

"Just say I'm not here, and let them wait if they want to wait."

Sitting in the leather chair of the theater commander's office, Wang Maocai was restless. Since he served as the commander of the Western Route Army, he has forcibly seized too much property, there are hundreds of houses alone, and he has also embezzled military salaries and robbed people's daughters; Among them, many people were forced to die, and there were countless unjust, false and wrongful cases caused by their own hands.

Many things are not necessarily done by him, but Wang Maocai's reputation has been very bad among the people. Thinking of what Huang Ke said at the banquet, Wang Maocai was already disheartened.

He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples vigorously to calm himself, but he couldn't calm down.

Behind him hangs a huge portrait of the father of the nation, Sun Yat-sen, on both sides are the couplets of the former prime minister, "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard", and bright national and military flags are erected on both sides.

All this is a symbol of power, only all this will cease to exist.

The most ruthless imperial family! The political struggle is so cruel, not to mention that Huang Ke is still a person who says the same, Wang Mao didn't dare to imagine what would happen next. He opened the drawer in front of the table and stroked a new pistol from Jiangnan Heavy Industries.

The design of this gun is very good, the streamlined shape and baked blue show the industrial level of Jiangnan Heavy Industry, stroking this pistol, Wang Maocai sighed.
