Half an hour after the incident, Zi Chuanning walked into Di Lin's office: "Inspector General, Major General Gao Hua of the Lin Family Volunteer Group just urgently came to me to protest, saying that Lin Ding was arrested by the Supervision Department for going to Piáo for prostitution. What is going on? Lin Ding is the leader of the Lin family's reinforcements, and he is an important figure in our relationship with Heqiu, so how can the Supervision Department rashly arrest someone because of such a trivial matter? Moreover, he is not a soldier of the Zichuan family, and the Supervision Department has no right to arrest him. Let them go. ”

Raising his head from the mountain of Wen Jiàn tables, Di Lin glanced at Zi Chuanning. Then he rang the bell, and an officer entered, none other than Gopra. He stood up and said, "Inspector General?"

"Is the Secret Service dispatched tonight?"

"No, sir. ”

"Has any of the gendarmerie district teams submitted their dispatch reports tonight?"

"No, sir. ”

"Okay, you go down. ”

Turning his head, Di Lin calmly said to Zi Chuanning, "Your Highness, we are in trouble. ”

"How?"

"Lin Ding was not arrested by the Supervision Department. If the dìdū military didn't intervene either. Apparently, he was kidnapped. ”

Lin Ding's kidnapping caused an uproar. After learning the news, Heqiu immediately sent a note to Danya and issued a very fiercely worded statement, saying, "Lin Ding went to Dìdū to help the Zichuan family resist the invasion of the demon clan, but in the territory of the Zichuan family, he was attacked by well-trained and well-organized armed elements wearing the military uniforms of the Zichuan family, and his whereabouts are still unknown, could it be that the Zichuan family zhèngfǔ didn't know anything about it?

The spokesman hinted in an unkind tone that Lin Ding's kidnapping made the upper echelons of Heqiu very indignant, and if this matter could not be brought to a satisfactory end, and if Lin Ding could not be quickly rescued from "those thugs wearing the military uniforms of the Zichuan family" and found out, then Heqiu would regard this incident as a great shame and had to "reconsider the friendly relationship with the Zichuan family".

"We will revisit our position. Lin Rui, the elder of the Lin family's foreign affairs and financial affairs, said very gently, and the implication was obvious: if the Zichuan family can't give a satisfactory explanation, then I'm sorry, and the bags of cute silver coins, medicines, weapons, and snow-white rice with the hibiscus logo will say goodbye to you.

"On the territory of the Zichuan family", "well-trained and well-organized armed personnel wearing Zichuan military uniforms" - Lin Rui did not say it explicitly, but he especially accentuated the tone of the above words, and the listeners all understood that even if this matter was not the instruction of the Zichuan family, I am afraid that it would be inseparable from the Zichuan family's army. The Zichuan family zhèngfǔ must take full responsibility for this.

Luo Minghai's forehead was drenched in sweat, and he was very wolf.

"For the accident that happened to Chief Lin Ding, the Zichuan family was deeply surprised and shocked. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with the family, it is likely that the demon clan intends to destroy the friendly relationship between our river hill and dìdū, we have ordered the dìdū army, military police, and jǐng inspection troops to immediately launch a search and rescue operation, and I believe that good news will come soon......"

"How long will it take?" Lin Rui asked amiably, but his eyes were cold and sarcastic.

Luo Minghai hated it in his heart. Since the relocation of the capital, not to mention the Far East and Southeast Military Regions, even if it is the Dìdū Military Region, the control of the army has gradually weakened, and the control of the army has long been in the hands of the front-line commanders headed by Di Lin and Zi Chuanning, and the control of the Danya can only play the role of logistics supply. Danya had no control over the behavior of the front-line troops—she knew this, and Heqiu knew it.

But as the Zichuan family's zhōngyāng regime, he can't just spread his hands and say, "We can't control the dìdū over there, you can go and make trouble with Di Lin by yourself!" According to diplomatic etiquette, Heqiu can only negotiate with the zhōngyāng regime.

This is a great irony, everyone knows that they can't take care of their, but they must also be responsible for all the!

"Elder Lin Rui, please believe that in order to search and rescue Lord Lin Ding, we will do our best, exert our greatest strength, mobilize the forces that can be mobilized, and do not hesitate to pay any price......" Luo Minghai gushed nonsense, and had already greeted all the female relatives of Di Lin a million times in his heart.

Allowing the Lin family generals who came to help was kidnapped on their own territory, which really damaged the reputation of the Zichuan family. Danya zhèngfǔ withstood the tremendous pressure of the river hills, but fortunately, Zichuan Shenxing and Luo Minghai were both Tai Chi masters who practiced the Great Shift of Qiankun, and they quickly and generously handed over this pressure to the Dìdū Military Region.

Zichuan Shenxing personally wrote a letter to Zichuan Ning and Di Lin, asking them to put aside their contradictions and work together, with finding Lin Ding and finding out the truth as the first priority.

Even if you don't need Zichuan Shenxing to send a letter, Zichuan Ning and Di Lin also know that Lin Ding's case is a serious matter.

In Heqiu, Lin Ding was just a politician who had lost power in the political struggle, and he was not an important person—if he was really a favored important person, the Lin family would not have sent him to do such a drudgery as leading troops to fight against the demons. Nadilin described him as "a character who can't even get a few free dinners." "If he is slaughtered by the demons, at most it will be worth Zichuan Shenxing or Lin Fan to send a little secretary to the memorial service to pretend to shed a few tears.

But now, it is very likely that he has been kidnapped by the Zichuan family's military, and things have changed immediately. Lin Ding is no longer favored, and he also represents the face of the Lin family. was openly slapped in front of the whole world like this, and Heqiu couldn't stand it no matter how good his temper was.

Although Heqiu's military strength is not strong, the Lin family's supplies to support the Zichuan family are very generous. Now, at the critical time when the general battle to encircle and suppress the Demon God Emperor's army is ready to start, if the Lin family turns its face, it will have a great impact on the battle situation.

On the night of the kidnapping of Lin Ding, the Inspectorate went out in all directions, and the gendarmerie troops blocked the gates of Dìdū, only to be told that they were a step too late: just half an hour earlier, a black carriage with gendarmes and military judges had swaggered out of the west gate of Dìdū. Fearing the military judge in the car, the soldiers guarding the city gate did not check their documents and let them go without getting on the bus to check them.

"Bastard!" Di Lin slapped the officer on duty hard and ordered: "Send all the wastes on duty tonight to the front line, and arrange them in the night attack death squad!"

Fortunately, the weather was cold and not many people left the city, and it had just snowed, and the signs of ruts were very obvious.

At four o'clock in the morning, in the wilderness on the northwestern outskirts of Dìdū, in the cold wind and snow, the cavalry with torches rushed forward. The surrounding wilderness was silent, except for the crisp echo of horses' hooves and iron chews. The cavalry that galloped wildly in the middle of the night startled the migratory birds that stayed in the forest at night, and the birds with huge black wings swept over the ranks from time to time.

"My lord, there is a black spot by the river in front of you, it seems to be a carriage!"

Di Lin ordered: "The team dispersed and circled in a fan." Flank the wings, don't let one go!"

With a gesture, the well-trained gendarmes immediately extinguished their torches and scattered around. The carriage stopped quietly beside a withered tree on the bank of the river, and did not react to the gendarmes who gathered around in the snow in the night. A gendarmerie officer carefully pulled down the handle of the door, and the door opened suddenly.

"Come out! You are surrounded!"

No one answered, no one answered, and there was no reaction in the black compartment.

After a while, a gendarmerie officer threw a torch into the carriage, and the faint light of the fire illuminated the interior of the carriage: empty, without anyone.

A criminal judge put on white gloves, carefully climbed in, and searched inside very carefully for a while. He came out and reported to Dilin, "My lord, the carriage is empty, and the kidnappers have left. ”

"Nonsense, you don't have to report this. ”

"But I found two cigarette butts, both of which had just been extinguished. The seat cushions were still slightly warm, and they were away less than half an hour. Plus, they left us a message inside. ”

"What?"

"Your Excellency, please come with me. ”

The military judge led Di Lin into the carriage, and used a torch to shine a line of black characters on the wall of the carriage, all of which were written in charcoal, and the writing was very neat: "500,000 silver coins, ransom Lin will die!" The inscription was three huge black characters: "Black Tiger Gang".

Di Lin's face was pale, he got out of the car without saying a word, and the military judge pointed to a line of footprints on the ground and said to him: "My lord, there are seven people's footprints here, all wearing military boots. But the style was different, the six people were wearing the gendarme-style leather boots of our Supervision Department, and one footprint was wearing the high-grade military boots of the Lin family - the style already matched. Judging from the footprints, the different footprints were sandwiched between several other footprints - Lord Lin Ding was held hostage by others, which proved that we were not chasing the wrong direction. ”

Gopra listened as he interjected, "In which direction did they flee?"

Di Lin glanced at him dissatisfied, Gopla was embarrassed, but fortunately, the criminal military judge spoke out to relieve him: "Lord red, look, the footprints lead all the way to the river, and the kidnappers are likely to have taken Lord Lin Ding hostage and escaped on the boat." ”

"Where did they get the ship?" said Gopra, and knew that he had asked another stupid question: the ship was naturally prepared to answer here.

"My lord, this case is tricky. The kidnappers were well-organized and well prepared. They got on the boat, and all the clues were broken. The Vanne River stretches for thousands of miles, and the only way we can do this is to notify the towns and wharves along the way to set up checkpoints to check the passing boats, and to track them down by casting nets to catch fish - but the kidnappers are so quick that they probably won't leave any clues. ”

Di Lin's brows were tightly locked, and his white melon seed face was blown green by the cold north wind by the river. Gazing at the sparkling river with a slight ice and standing on the snow, the Inspector General fell into deep thought. His subordinates stood silently beside him.

He suddenly asked the criminal judge, "You said you found two cigarette butts just now?"

"Yes, my lord, the sample has been taken. ”

"From the cigarette butts, can you tell which smoke it is?"

"I checked just now. This kind of tobacco is not common, it is not produced in the vicinity of dìdū, it is from the northwest. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Di Lin's mouth, the kind of smile that was in his chest: "That's it." ”

Seeing Di Lin smiling so confidently, Gopra and the military judges couldn't help but be surprised. Gopra asked, "My lord, do you know the whereabouts of the Black Tiger Gang, and do you have any clues to the case?"

"Black Tiger Gang, Gopra, you have counted all the gangs in the family, have you heard of this name before?"

"This, the lower officials are lonely and unheard......"

"Even as the commander-in-chief of the domestic anti-gang frontline, you don't know that the prospects of this gang are very limited. Suddenly a big gang of these people appeared, well-organized, resolute and flawless—I don't know if you believe it or not, but I don't believe it anyway. ”

Looking at the cigarette butt in his hand, Di Lin smiled coldly, and casually flicked the cigarette butt into the river: "Yù Gai Mizhang is certainly a good move, but if you do it too much, it will arouse suspicion." ”

Turning his head to look at the northwest sky, Di Lin's eyes showed incomprehension and confusion: "But why did she arrest Lin Ding? They have no enmity at all!"

Pushed and clamped by the military judges, Lin Ding got into the carriage. Before he could sit down in his seat, he couldn't wait to shout: "Bastard, if you dare to arrest me, I will let you go to the front line as a death squad...... Uh-huh...... What are you doing?"

Before he could finish his words, a black sè bag covered him with a split, and a rain-like fist fell on him, and the person who hit him quickly and heavily, and the fist was all taken care of under the ribs and the sensitive parts of the head and face.

Stunned by this round of rainstorm-like blows, Lin Ding only had time to cover his head and face with his hands, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "Don't fight...... Help, stop fighting!"

The torrential pounding of fists lasted for half a minute, and when he stopped, the one-armed military judge said calmly, "Your lord, you had better be quiet and honest, and don't trouble us, okay? ”

"What are you going to do?"

A fierce elbow hit Lin Ding's ribs, and the severe pain hit, Lin Ding shrank into one in pain, tears and snot flowed out involuntarily, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't even scream. Lin Ding fell to the cold floor of the carriage, rolling around in pain, but a few pairs of strong hands helped him up and sat back on the chair, and it was still the one-armed military judge who spoke: "My lord, have you forgotten what I just said?

Lin Ding nodded vigorously, saliva and snot flowed together, he didn't dare to make a little sound, just nodded vigorously.

The other party seemed very satisfied with his reaction: "Very good, my lord." It looks like we're going to have a great trip, and I wish you and me a great time together!"

Hooded and stuffed in the carriage, although the group of people kept saying that the journey was pleasant, Lin Ding felt that it would not be a pleasant journey no matter how he looked at it.

He vaguely guessed that this group of people may not really be subordinates of the Supervision Department, and although the gendarmerie and military justice agencies are violent agencies, they are dealing with ordinary people. He is a nobleman of the Lin family and represents the Lin family. They will not be so rude to themselves, otherwise they will cause diplomatic disputes that will not end.

The car was noisy, and in the dark, Lin Ding didn't know where the carriage was going, how long it had been driving, only that the car must have been out of the dìdū.

As we passed through the city gates, a question was heard outside: "Whose car is in it?"

Lin Ding knew that this was the guards guarding the city gate who were checking, and his heart was pounding with excitement, and he just wanted to jump up immediately and shout: "Help!" As if sensing his thoughts, the people around him pressed his shoulders.

Lin Ding's body stiffened: the military uniform behind his back had been punctured, and a cold metal sharp point slightly pierced the skin behind him, which was the most critical position of the spine.

Large beads of sweat rolled down from Lin Ding's forehead, he was definitely a master behind him, he knew the key points of the human nerves, this part, as long as the other party pushed a little deeper into an inch, it would immediately be half paralyzed. Lin Ding's warm heart immediately cooled. Someone in the carriage cursed a foul language, and someone replied loudly: "Judge Advocate General, open the city gate immediately!"

Footsteps sounded outside the car door, and someone asked outside the car door: "May I ask which officer of the Judge Advocate General's Office? It was too late, and the city gate was closed." Do you have a pass?"

"The Judge Advocate General's Office, you are not qualified to ask. The one-armed military judge replied: "Open the door, you can't afford to miss your business." ”

No one spoke up anymore. Lin Ding was disappointed to hear that the city gate was clucked up. The carriage went out of the city gate and drove along the post road. Because he was covered with his head and face, Lin Ding didn't know where the car was going or how long it had been driving, he just felt that out of the city gate of dìdū, the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly relaxed. Someone started smoking, and the closed compartment was filled with smoke for a while. Someone whispered and said something in a dialect that Lin Ding didn't understand, and the speed of the speech was so fast that Lin Ding didn't hear it clearly.

But soon, the voice that had told Lin Ding sternly stopped them: "Don't speak!"

The farther away from the city of dìdū, the car was bumpy and the weather was very cold. The howling cold wind came in through the crack in the carriage door, and Lin Ding's feet happened to rest on the side of the door, and the small cold current penetrated through his trouser legs, scraping his legs like knives.

Soon, my legs were so painful and numb that I was cold.

The high-ranking nobles of Heqiu, who are clothed in fine clothes and food, have never suffered like this. After a while, Lin Ding couldn't stand it anymore, and he timidly raised his hand timidly, signaling that he wanted to speak.

"What?"

"I wanted to change positions - the wind was so strong by the door that my legs were numb from freezing. ”

Someone uncovered the black cover on Lin Ding's head, and Lin Ding was able to see the light again - in fact, it was not light, there was no light in the carriage, only a windproof lamp hung next to the coachman to illuminate the road, and the dim light came in through the lattice window in front of the carriage, only the silhouette of the misty figure and two shiny cigarette butts in the carriage could be illuminated.

A gendarme sitting opposite Lin Ding stood up silently and made a gesture to Lin Ding, Lin Ding was stunned for a moment before he understood, quickly got up and changed positions with him, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you!"

Someone chuckled in the dark: "My lord, we are not stingy people. As long as you are willing to cooperate with us and do not make trouble during the journey, we will be happy to help you with this little request. ”

Summoning up his courage, Lin Ding asked the question again: "Who are you, and why are you taking me away?" He had already affirmed that the other party was by no means a member of the Judge Advocate General's Department.

This time the problem did not attract a torrential rain, and a faint voice came from the darkness opposite: "You will know when you see our master." ”

"Who are your masters?"

"When you see him, you know. ”

With the rhythmic sound of shaking, the carriage jolted forward. I don't know how long I walked, but the carriage stopped. The coachman's shout came from outside: "It's here!" Someone pulled the car door, and the two people went out with Lin Ding in tow.

The parking place is a wilderness by the river, which has just snowed and is dazzling. The north wind blowing from the east was already moistened with moisture. Several people silently followed Lin Ding in the direction of the river. When he got to the river, Lin Ding saw that there was already a boat moored on the surface of the water with thin ice.

The one-armed military judge held the windproof lamp on the car and shook it a few times, and soon someone on the boat shook the light a few times, and the boat drove towards the shore. Several sailors had set up a plank on the shore as a makeshift pedal, apparently reserved for them to get on board.

"Let's go, get on board. The one-armed military judge said to Lin Ding with an expressionless face.

Seeing the boat on the water, Lin Ding's heart suddenly cooled. He had hoped that the military or his own men might follow the trail left by the carriage to rescue him, but seeing that the other party had arranged so well, even the ships that escaped were ready. On this ship, all the tracking clues were broken, and it was difficult for the rescue force to find themselves.

The top priority is to find an opportunity to delay time, and never get on the ship, as soon as you get on the ship, it will be over!

"I have a stomachache and want to find a convenient place, please wait for me to ......"

"Want convenience?"

The one-armed military judge turned his head and looked at Lin Ding coldly. At some point, a long and narrow dagger appeared in his hand, and the dagger jumped with life-like agility, and the blade was against the cold light of the snow. The long, narrow and sharp dagger had a terrifying magic that made people dare not face it.

His companions looked at Lin Ding without saying a word, and their eyes revealed the taste of ferocity and blood.

Sen Ran's murderous aura!

Lin Ding shuddered and looked away. As the former director of the Lin Clan's Security Department, of course he knew that this kind of look and murderous aura could only be obtained by experiencing life and death on the battlefield, and what he was in front of was indeed a group of bloody fanatics who regarded human life as a mustard.

Lin Ding immediately knew that Xiao Cleverness could not save himself, but could kill himself, and if he delayed for even one second, that one-armed man would really kill himself! That was a genuine murderous aura, and it was by no means a lie and threat!

"Suddenly my stomach doesn't hurt much anymore, hehe, let's get on the boat." ”

Staring deeply at Lin Ding, and seeing Lin Ding's heart furious, the one-armed military judge sneered, turned around and stepped on the pedal to get on the boat first-that smile reminded Lin Ding of the hungry wolf roaming the grassland in winter, which made him creepy. Then, Lin Ding was sandwiched between two strong sailors and chickens.

Without the slightest delay, the ship set sail. The bow of the ship collided with the ice floe floating on the water, making a slight tinkling sound. Sailors stand at the bow of the boat, and from time to time use bamboo poles to pick up the thin ice floating on the water. In the channel they cleared, the ship moved slowly.

The ship is one of those medium-sized transport ships that has only one cabin and is empty inside. The wind was stronger on the river, but no one went into the cabin, and they all stayed on deck. Looking at the ice floes on the river, several men showed worried expressions.

The one-armed man leaned over the side of the boat and scooped up a piece of ice floe and weighed it in his hand. Several men gathered around to look at it, looking concerned.

"It's starting to have ice floes. In a few days, the river will be frozen and unnavigable. ”

"It is said that in previous years, it would not freeze so quickly. ”

"It's troublesome, I guess it's only a matter of a few days. ”

Several of the kidnappers were talking in whispers, their expressions solemn. Lin Ding only felt inexplicable, the river was not frozen, why were these people so nervous and concerned? But now was not the time to meddle, he closed his mouth in amusement and did not say a word.

But others won't let him go. The one-armed man turned his head and said in a cold tone that made Lin Ding feel creepy: "Lord Lin Ding, can you please do me a little favor?"

Lin Ding hurriedly replied: "If you can, you will do your best." ”

"It's not difficult, Lord Lin Ding, you will definitely be able to do it. ”

"Then please just command. ”

"That's good. You're ready to jump into the river. ”

"Ah!" Lin Ding thought he had misheard: "What did you say, Your Excellency?"

"Jump into the river, right now!" said the one-armed man with great clarity.

After staring at the other party blankly for five seconds, Lin Ding finally understood the other party's words. Carried away by his anger, he blurted out and scolded: "Are you crazy? This weather makes me jump into the water? You want to freeze me to death!"

The one-armed man snapped his fingers, and several men rushed up and tied Lin Ding up with a long rope. Lin Ding struggled desperately, begging bitterly: "Don't be like this, don't be like this...... Please, I'm going to die......"

The kidnappers turned a deaf ear and simply tied Lin Ding like a big dumpling. They worked together to hoist Lin Ding onto the boat gang and slowly put it down. Lin Ding's desolate cry resounded through the wilderness on the outskirts of the Vagne, and he cried hoarsely: "Help, spare my life, don't let me go, I'll die...... Help......"

"Lord Lin Ding, is it fun?"

"It's not fun, let me go!"

Standing on the side of the boat above Lin Ding's head, the one-armed man took a long time: "My lord, let me ask you a few questions." If you don't satisfy me, then we'll have to ask you to take a cool and comfortable bath. ”

"Let me go up, let me go up, I will definitely answer ......"

"What's going on with this coup d'état in Riverhill?"

Lin Ding raised his head and shouted at the people on the deck: "What coup d'état?"

The one-armed man didn't say a word, but reached out to untie the rope. Lin Ding hurriedly shouted: "I remember, I remember! It's the November River Hill Upheaval, the November River Hill Upheaval!"

"Who did this coup d'état and what was the purpose?"

In the fierce cold wind, Lin Dingsheng shouted hoarsely: "There has never been a coup d'état, this is just a normal personnel adjustment, and it happened that several generals unfortunately died of serious illness, which caused false rumors." Those rumors are all lies fabricated by irresponsible people with ulterior motives, and the purpose is to slander the image of our Heqiu regime...... Wow wow!

The one-armed man let go of the rope expressionlessly, and Lin Ding suddenly fell into the icy river.

Immersed in the cold ice water, as if countless needles had pierced Lin Ding's body at the same time, he suddenly let out a terrible scream: "Ah......" The intense pain hit like cháo water, and he was trembling violently all over, and shouted intermittently: "Hurry up...... Quick, pull me up......"

Several people worked together, dragged the rope and pulled Lin Ding up again, still hanging on the side of the boat half a meter above the water. He was soaking wet, and the cold wind blowing in his face was like countless knives that made him feel painful. Lin Ding trembled violently and shouted, "Quick, let me into the cabin...... I'm cold......"

He looked up at the crowd with a pleading look. The crowd stood on the deck and looked down on him, expressionless and indifferent as if they were looking at a pig about to be slaughtered. The one-armed man said calmly, "Lord Lin Ding, if we want to listen to the report of the spokesperson of Heqiu, we don't need to go to such great lengths to ask you to come back. If you continue to prevaricate and fool us like this—"

He spread out his palm and pressed it down: "You are only worried that the Lin family will settle accounts with you after leaking secrets, haven't you thought that if you refuse to tell the truth, you don't have to worry about the Lin family at all?" The Lin family was not interested in settling accounts with the dead.

Hearing the meaning of the other party's words, Lin Ding's heart chilled. He couldn't help but look down at the bubbling river water with ice floes under his feet, and his heart was cold: the wind and water of the Vanne River are high and deep, and if you sink a corpse, you won't be able to find it for ten years and a hundred years.

He raised his head and looked at the one-armed man: "Who are you, why do you want to inquire into our Lin clan's secrets?"

"My lord, it's none of your business. You just need to know that you and I have no enmity, and after this is over, we can let you go, and we will not meet again in the future, and you don't have to worry about any trouble or trouble. ”

Lin Ding was silent and lowered his head to consider.

The masked man did not rush him. The men standing on the bow of the boat and those hanging from the gang were silent, only the oncoming north wind whirred. After a long while, Lin Ding's trembling voice slowly sounded, and he asked reluctantly, "What do you say?" won't you make trouble for me in the future?"

The one-armed man said coldly: "My lord, you better believe us. ”

Lin Ding smiled bitterly. At this moment, I have no choice but to believe in the other party.

"You pull me up first, I can't speak now. ”

The one-armed man glanced at Lin Ding seriously, making sure that the other party was not lying. Then, he nodded, and several people pulled Lin Ding up.

People helped him into the cabin, someone changed his clothes for Lin Ding, who was shivering from the cold, and someone gave him a pot of soju. Lin Ding hurriedly held the wine bottle and gulped the wine.

When the pot of hot soju was in his stomach, the frozen body was injected with a stream of heat, and Lin Dingtie's blue and pale face became a little angry. He licked his lips and looked pitifully at the people gathered around him: "What do you want to know?"

The one-armed man remained silent: "How much do you know about the November coup?"

"I don't know much. At the time of the incident, I was at home with little contact with the outside world. ”

"You're the veteran of the Security Agency, a heavyweight. At such a critical time, you didn't get any news in advance? Your old department didn't give you any information?"

Lin Ding sighed: "In the Flowing Wind and Frost Incident, I lost to Lin Rui. Although Lin Rui didn't kill them all, I did lose my momentum, and my subordinates had already scattered, and most of them had gone to the court. Even a few of my old men who still followed me were left idle, just like me - but thankfully, they were able to avoid the November coup. ”

"Who started the coup?"

That night, I slept as usual, and when I woke up early the next morning, I found that the streets were full of jǐng chazai jǐng rings, fully armed......

"Jǐng Cha?

"Not a military man. Most of the leaders of the army were imprisoned or executed, and the army was leaderless and almost paralyzed. ”

"Who ordered the purge?"

"I don't know ......"

"Didn't you try to find out?"

"I'm going to find out. The Jǐng Cha troops were only ordered to enter the city under martial law, and the order was issued by the Jǐng Cha Chief, who in turn acted on the orders of the Heqiu Presbyterian Church...... There are other people on the purge, and their identities have not been made public......"

"When did you come back?"

"About a week after the coup, I was told by the River Hill Presbyterian Church to report for duty. Lin Kang, the military chief who took over my appointment, received me and said that the army is in great need of an experienced veteran officer like me, and hopes that I can come back to serve the country. I asked him what position he could place me in, and he said that Riverhill would send troops to reinforce Dìdū in the near future, and that this army needed someone with enough experience and prestige to take charge, and I was the most suitable person...... At that time, I was also idle for too long, and I wanted to find something to do, so I agreed to Lin Kang. ”

The kidnappers glanced at each other, and they all saw deep disappointment in each other's eyes.

It took so much effort and effort to sneak into the war-torn dìdū at great risk to capture Lin Ding. I thought that this high-ranking officer, who had lost power and recovered, should know something inside, but he didn't know more than ordinary people on the street.

With a disappointed expression, the one-armed man asked, "Do you know who directed this coup?"

"I don't know who the real behind-the-scenes commander is, but it's definitely inseparable from Lin Rui!"

Seeing that Lin Ding said so firmly, the kidnappers were slightly surprised. They exchanged glances: "Why are you so sure?"

"Ever since the stormy incident, I've lost ground. Lin Fan, the patriarch of our family, is old and frail, and he has long been out of government affairs. Although Lin Rui is only one of the three elders in name, in fact, Lin Xi, the political elder, has always been indisputable, and the military elder Lin Kang who took over me is a cronie supported by Lin Rui, plus Lin Rui has been designated as a person who has taken over the position of patriarch, whether it is Lin Kang or Lin Fan, they are only his orders. The Council of Elders had already been held in the hands of Lin Rui, and everything had to be agreed by him, no matter how big or small. It would have been impossible for him to say that he had not known about such a big thing. ”

At this time, a small sailor with a dark face next to him interjected and asked, "Lin Rui, why did he do this, and what good did it do to him after cleaning the army?" This sailor had a dark face and very rough skin, but his voice was very crisp and pleasant.
