The news that Si Mu forced Nie Yun to death was the same every day.

Soon, the newspapers in Yuecheng also began to report, and then it spread all over Yuecheng.

The rumors will ferment and be processed, so they forced Nie Yun to death, and it became "Si Mu killed Nie Yun".

"There is no evidence that the young marshal killed Nie Yun, and there is also no evidence to prove the young marshal's innocence." The staff members deliberated.

Gu Qingzhou was also called to the Overseer's Mansion.

The Overseer even asked Gu Qingzhou, "Qingzhou, can you testify against Amu?" ”

"Abba, I am the wife of the young marshal, and my testimony is not enough to win the trust of the people." Gu Qingzhou said, "The matter of the young marshal is a scandal, and if you want to eliminate the influence, you have to fight a war of public opinion." ”

She agrees with Yan Xinnong's current approach.

The other party also has no evidence.

Since you can use the newspaper, I can use it too.

Si Mu went to the camp, and an upright general was very unkind to him, and said to Si Mu in front of Si Mu: "It's better for the young marshal to stay closed, so as not to discredit our Yuecheng." ”

Simu's face turned pale.

The battle between him and Si Xingpei had long spread in the army, causing dissatisfaction among many generals. They didn't trust Si Mu and felt that Si Xingpei was their future.

Si Mu was despicable and shameless, drove away Si Xingpei, and the generals were all on fire.

Those big old and coarse people naturally won't give this milky young marshal a good face.

Si Mu returned to the city and secretly sent someone to investigate the matter, who was behind it.

But the matter came out of Nanjing.

When the people of Nanjing saw the newspaper and talked about it every day, they thought that Yuecheng had turned the world upside down, so they took it as an anecdote.

The Si family is famous in the entire Jiangnan, and the warlords and powerful families are among the family, and the gossip of their family can arouse the interest of people all over the world.

Yuecheng did not have much power in Nanjing, and if he wanted to investigate the root cause of this matter, he had no way to start.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Si Mu asked Gu Qingzhou while smoking.

Gu Qingzhou said: "First, we don't know how much evidence the opponent has, maybe what he wants to do is to deliberately make you think that there is no evidence?" Second, we don't know who our opponents are. The enemy is dark and we are clear, and the situation is not optimistic. The only thing I can do is wait. ”

Simus irritated and pressed his cigar into the ashtray.

On the twenty-fourth of the lunar month, it was Yuecheng's Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Yuecheng Evening News added a new headline.

These days, the junta has been fighting with the people behind it, insisting that Nie Yun is just missing, and the deceased is not Nie Yun.

As a result, news came from Nanjing, saying: "Nie Yun's right foot was born with only four fingers, and the bones found, although they are festering and cannot be refuted, but her right foot is also four fingers." ”

At this moment, there is no doubt that the deceased is Nie Yun.

Nie Yun is indeed dead.

Si Mu stood up suddenly, turned and went out.

In the evening, his father-in-law came back from Nanjing, and Si Mu didn't know where to go, so Gu Qingzhou went to Yan Mansion for dinner.

At the dinner table, Yan Luoshui and Yan Yiyuan surrounded their father-in-law and kept asking questions.

"Abba, are we at a loss for anything about this? The Commander-in-Chief of the Overseers can't do it, right? Public opinion in Nanjing was very unfavorable to him. "Yanluo Waterway.

Yan Yiyuan also asked: "Abba, then the second brother forced Nie Yun to death has become a fact, right?" Abba, Nie Yun is a student, she has not officially graduated, will it trigger a student movement, just like Shang Tao did last time? ”

"As soon as the students move, the workers will move. When the time comes, the repression will shed blood and become the public enemy of the whole country, unless the second brother is sentenced. Yan Luoshui also said.

They were both worried.

"Eat, eat!" Yan Xinnong said to the two children.

Gu Qingzhou didn't speak.

From beginning to end, Gu Qingzhou didn't even frown. She was careless, as if she didn't care about Simu's life or death.

She is so indifferent and ruthless, Yan Xinong and Yan Luoshui can understand, but they are also shocked, Gu Qingzhou is a little too ruthless this time.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Mu are fake marriages, no matter whether Si Mu lives or dies, Gu Qingzhou is the young lady of the military government, and what she needs is limited to this. But she was not so worried about her husband's affairs that she was not as good as a stranger.

After the meal, Yan Luoshui brought up the matter again.

Gu Qingzhou said slowly: "The opponent's cards have not been finished yet. ”

Yan Luoshui was stunned.

Yan Xinong also looked at Gu Qingzhou.

Mrs. Yan and Yan Yiyuan didn't understand what it meant.

"Father-in-law, I always feel that you are too anxious. You see, you just responded that Nie Yun was not dead, and the other party immediately proved that the body was Nie Yun. Every step you take is in the other person's calculations. Gu Qingzhou said.

Yan Xinong thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

The movements of the junta are all within the calculations of the opponents.

The Si family wanted to justify that the deceased was not Nie Yun, and Nie Yun's identity was immediately confirmed; When the Si family wanted to say again, the deceased had nothing to do with Si Mu, and the other party immediately confirmed this relationship.

“...... Qingzhou, you are a very smart person, according to your opinion, how should this matter be? Yan Xinnong asked.

"As I say, go on according to the Father's way. When the other party cornered the Si family, Si Mu couldn't stay in China at all, the military government was discredited, and the identity of the opponent could be exposed.

Only when the opponent is exposed and we know who is behind it, can there be any hope of victory on the counterattack. The current counterattack is all useless. Gu Qingzhou said lightly.

"Then will there be capital to fight back then?" Yan Xinnong asked.

"Yes, haven't I moved yet?" Gu Qingzhou said.

Everyone in the Yan family looked at her.

Gu Qingzhou is a woman, powerless and powerless. In this trap where politics and capital go to sea together, what are Gu Qingzhou's chances of winning?

She is by no means the last trump card of the Si family!

“...... So why don't you do it now? Yan Xinnong asked.

Gu Qingzhou felt that Yan Xinong hadn't understood what she meant: "Father-in-law, the mastermind behind the scenes will not be removed, this time to eliminate the influence, there will be a next time!" There is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days! The bigger the trouble this time, the better. ”

She looked calm.

Yan Xinong didn't dare to put hope in her.

No matter how smart and capable she is, isn't she still a girl?

The Overseer's side is also in a hurry.

"This matter can't be reported to the Si Mansion, the old lady has to be angry if she knows it." Governor of the Army.

So, the Si family continued to buy the newspaper, insisting that Si Mu and Nie Yun had nothing to do with each other.

Nie Yun may really be dead, but Simu hasn't had anything to do with her.

Soon, the article containing such a refutation made the headlines of the important evening newspapers in Nanjing and Yuecheng.

Public opinion calmed down slightly.

Indeed, who can prove that Nie Yun is related to Si Mu? She is neither Si Mu's concubine nor Si Mu's girlfriend, and there is not even any news to prove that she and Si Mu know each other.

It was only today that the military government began to sort out the relationship between Nie Yun and Si Mu little by little.

Public opinion soon shifted.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the newspapers of Nanjing and Yuecheng published several photos at the same time.

The first photo is Si Mu walking into the hotel with a woman, and her back is just like Nie Yun; The second is Nie Yun wearing the clothes of his death, standing at the door of Si Mu's new house; The third is Nie Yun standing on the bridge by the river.

The last one is Nie Yun's mother holding a gold bar, which is from the treasury of the military government.

"The evidence is ironclad!"

Si Mu and Nie Yun went to the hotel, and this matter is true; Si Mu gave Nie Yun gold bars, and there was also physical evidence for this matter; Nie Yun went to Si Mu's house before he died, and this matter cannot be refuted.

Si Mu forced Nie Yun and even caused her to commit suicide.

In an instant, public opinion collapsed, and no one believed Simu's innocence.

It had been seven or eight days since the commissioner from Nanjing arrived in Yuecheng, and nothing had been found.

Seeing the newspaper, Minister Qu took the arrest warrant from the Nanjing Supreme Court: "Si Dujun, this matter is suspected of murder, I will take Ling Lang back to Nanjing to be examined." ”

"Follow the rules, I understand." The Overseer seemed to have aged a lot overnight.

They tried to find a way, and even started with major newspapers, but they couldn't find the mastermind behind it, and they only knew that this matter might have something to do with the Political Department.

At the beginning, Shang Tao had an accident in Yuecheng, and the Nanjing Political Department suspected that it was the Yuecheng Military Government.

Soon, there was news that Li Wenzhu was about to become commander-in-chief of the navy, army, and air force.

"It was the Nanjing Political Department and Li Wenzhu who conspired to target the position of commander-in-chief of the navy and army, as well as the Yuecheng military government." Gu Qingzhou thought.

However, no one in Yuecheng benefited from this matter?

If Si Mu has this kind of thing, who will be the biggest winner?

Is it a priest?

Si Xingpei disdained to use this method to deal with Si Mu.

It seems that a person who has nothing to do with the junta.

Just when the Overseer's Mansion was defeated and Si Mu was about to be escorted to Nanjing, a man came forward.

She is Wei Qingjia.

Wei Qingjia found Si Dujun and Mrs. Si: "I know some British and American church personnel, I want to go to Nanjing, run for the young marshal, I hope to get the consent of you and your wife." ”

At that time, Si Mu and Gu Qingzhou were both present.

Si Mu was speechless, his face was gloomy, and he didn't show half an expression.

And Gu Qingzhou's expression was gentle.

Mrs. Si thought: Gu Qingzhou, the daughter-in-law, has no effect from beginning to end! Gu Qingzhou doesn't have a powerful mother's family, no fame and friends, once something happens, she won't be able to use it!

Madame Si hadn't thought of this before, because she didn't know that the Overseer's Mansion would be in such a huge trouble!

"Good!" Mrs. Si agreed, "Jiajia, everything else is easy to say, if we can ask the British to come forward and apply for Mu'er to be tried in the Concession Public Court, we will be grateful!" ”

Once Si Mu entered the court of the Ministry of Justice in Nanjing, the Si family's hand could not reach in, and he would definitely lose.

If it can enter the court of the public concession, the Nanjing government will not be able to cover the sky with one hand, and the Si family will be able to maneuver, and it may not fail.

Mrs. Si is no longer called Miss Wei, and directly and warmly calls "Jiajia".

Needless to say, if this matter is successful, Wei Qingjia will be the benefactor of the Overseer's Mansion, and Gu Qingzhou may face the situation of sweeping the floor.

Si Dujun looked at Si Mu in embarrassment, and then at Gu Qingzhou, who was silent and quiet, and showed disappointment in his heart.

"Miss Wei, I'll leave it to you!" The Overseer finally relented.

It's not that Si Overseer doesn't care about Qingzhou, she is really useless.

The corners of Gu Qingzhou's lips moved slightly.

Finally, all the fish were hooked: Nanjing's, Yuecheng's!
