Claire had a hard time riding the tiger.

The battle into that mountainous area went surprisingly smoothly. When her ground forces surrounded the area, and three giant space cruisers hovered in the sky, they neither fled nor resisted, and all of them were disarmed!

"What now?" Zhang Jingyi, who had just taken the landing craft down to the ground, was dumbfounded when she saw this: "They didn't want to resist, so they can't go on a killing spree, right?" ”

Claire hesitated for a moment and decided to review it first. This review identified three key elements in the central riots.

"Check again, lest you get it wrong!"

Claire was still more cautious and rechecked the identity information of these three people, and it was indeed correct.

"Since coming out of Central City, we haven't done any more crimes," the three men pleaded.

"Let them go......" Zhang Jingyi whispered: "Look at the situation here, it really doesn't look like a crowd rebelling." ”

Of course, Claire knew that how could the rebels who gathered a crowd to rebel farm their own land? But in any case, even if the people here want to build a new agglomeration, they have to register with the committee.

"If you want to settle here, you can't do it, but you have to get the approval of the committee, and you have to make a list of all the people and get it! …… As for the three of you, I'm sorry, you're wanted, and I'll have to take you back to Central City!" ”

Claire is a battle-hardened person after all, and overall, her handling is quite appropriate. But as for those three people, I felt that I was wronged. Among them, a woman in her forties named Tang Liqing asked to speak to Claire in person.

Tang Liqing did participate in the planning of the Central City riots, but at that time, their appeal was to hold those responsible for the defeat of the space war. As for the peaceful demonstrations that later turned into armed conflicts, no one expected them.

They were suppressed, and later forced to flee Central City during the Great Clearance and were exiled to the Lovers' Fortress.

The armed conflict of the Lovers' Fortress was planned by Liu Yunxiang and others. Regarding that conflict, Tang Liqing not only did not participate in the planning, but also opposed it. She took those who did not want to participate, and remained in the cave until the rebellion failed.

After leaving the Lovers Fortress, many people were very angry because of Shu Yunpeng's brutal suppression and wanted to attack the Lovers Fortress, but Tang Liqing disagreed.

She told them that although the repression was shocking, Shu Yunpeng only killed Liu Yunxiang and five other people, let the others go, and gave everyone three days' rations before leaving......

Her persuasion worked, and today, seeing the army surrounding them, she also persuaded everyone to lay down their arms.

"I know, Commander, you have an opinion that the responsibility for the defeat in the space war has not been cleared up," Tang Liqing finally said: "You did not characterize the riots very badly like some people, so you refused to chase and kill the fleeing people in the square, and were suspended for ineffective suppression......"

"Okay, I see, don't you just think that you don't sin to die?" Claire said: "I will give my opinion to the committee, including that your activities here are very peaceful, etc., I will reflect it truthfully, and I am confident that you will get a fair ruling." ”

Tang Liqing shook her head and smiled bitterly: "You actually don't believe that I will get a fair verdict...... Forget it, you are really embarrassed in your position, and I won't embarrass you! ”

Claire was silent, she knew that Tang Liqing was right. For some members of the Committee, it was not so important whether it was fair or not, but what mattered was the ability to calm people. The rebels are mixed, and there are many people who are worried about the country and the people, but they really don't have the leisure to take the time to screen. Once you are on the wanted list, there is basically no way to live.

Sure enough, as soon as they returned to Central City, Tang Liqing and the other three wanted people were all sentenced to death without exception and executed at a later date. Although Claire, as a witness, stated in court the reasons for Tang Liqing and others to avoid death, the court did not accept it.

The night before the execution, Claire, who felt a little guilty, went to see Tang Liqing in the cell and apologized to her.

"You did what you thought was right, so you don't have to be upset!" Tang Liqing thought about it very much: "I am forty years old this year, in this tattered world with an average life expectancy of less than forty, I have lived to my duty, and there is nothing to regret." ”

The death penalty was lethal injection, not bloody, but Claire did not go to the scene. After the execution, the bodies of the three men were taken to the crematorium outside Central City for cremation.

Bizarrely, the crematorium, which received the notification, did not see the car transporting the body!

When Claire learned the news, it was already three hours later. Before this, the commander of the fleet, Zhang Jingyi, knew the news before Claire, and had sent a space cruiser to search for a large area, but found nothing. The car carrying the three bodies, along with the escorts, seemed to disappear into thin air!

"How is that possible?" Zhang Jingyi was very tired after a busy day, but she couldn't help but run to Claire's house to express her surprise.

"Nothing is impossible," Claire said. She was secretly glad that the people in charge of execution and escort were all members of the guards directly under the committee: "This shows that there are rebels around the committee!" ”

"What do they want three corpses for?"

"It's definitely alive!" Claire said categorically: "This shows that this Tang Liqing's identity is not just an ordinary leader!" ”

"How so?"

This person is calm, does not speak quickly, has a calm and to the point, and is extremely incendiary. You see her facing death, still unmoved. She said that she lived to be forty years old, which was enough, and this was a profound statement. In other words, as long as she lives, she earns it, and she doesn't care what she does next! ”

"Another Zhao Mengyao?"

"I feel more difficult than Zhao Mengyao!" Claire was worried: "Zhao Mengyao felt that she had been wronged, and she had nowhere to spread her anger, and she only thought about revenge; Although such a person is strong, there are loopholes to exploit. As for Tang Liqing, I checked her background information, she has participated in the committee election and is considered a celebrity, but she has not shown up much in recent years. If she hadn't died, then it would have been difficult to predict what she wanted to do and how big she would have done! ”

"I think you're overly worried, although the anti-** forces are arrogant, they don't have heavy weapons, they don't have logistics, and they can't make big waves no matter what."

"I don't know...... Anyway, I have a bad premonition......" Claire said while sorting out the situation in the past few days: "See, the people in that mountain area have begun to move to the depths of the mountains, what do you want to do?" ”

"They started to assemble, waiting for Tang Liqing to go back?"

"I think so...... I regret bringing Tang Liqing back to Central City! Claire was annoyed: "I thought that Shu Yunpeng provided resources, and the committee must be very excited, and would go all out to find the right person and prepare artificial insemination for human salvation." After all, that's the number one priority! As for Tang Liqing and the others, in order to show the generosity of the committee, they can be pardoned, so they are all happy! It also has a divisive effect on other rebel forces. Didn't expect ......"

Claire shook her head and said no more.
