The snow has loosened, and a collapse is bound to come.
Lu Pei's sudden death caused the entire Yujie Station and its camp to be exposed to the public opinion and attention of the people. Under the spotlight, some secrets that were originally hidden by thoughtful people could not escape the eyes of those who wanted to know. As the shady stories were unearthed bit by bit, one eye-popping rumor after another, whether true or false, always emerged. It can cause a lot of sadness and uproar.
The emotions of the people in Yujie Town have been ignited, and the 'truth' is particularly important at this time. All people are looking forward to the 'truth', a 'truth' that can affirm their concept of public order and good morals.
However, the fuse that ultimately triggered the turmoil in various government agencies had to be Shi Liang. The previous failed field mission at Maofeng Mountain had already entered the final stage, but it was not possible because of Lu Pei's death. Once the information was transferred to the military department for review.
However, this time the investigation was conducted without the mediation of Lu Yicheng, and the hidden problems were immediately discovered.
The knife catcher reported back to the military headquarters and pointed out that the serial number of the damaged mecha that Yujieyi handed over to the military headquarters did not match the number of the mecha registered by Aoxue Sect. This shocked the logistics department that was originally responsible for docking. It involves your own job. How dare you not go all out?
All of a sudden, all the staff worked overtime without stopping for a moment. After searching hard, they found the corresponding number source from the internal archives of the cabinet library.
The actual user of this mecha number was Yujie Xingying 622 Tian Fei, who died. This was a sixth platoon martyr who was confirmed to have died during the Key War. The file was registered as a total loss of the mecha, and the armor number had been cancelled.
Things suddenly became bizarre, which naturally aroused the anger of the military's upper echelons. The Tianzihao knife-catchers were ordered to dispatch, vowing to investigate the root cause of the case.
The government offices at all levels in Yujie Town immediately fell into panic, fearing that they would be implicated if they accidentally did something wrong. For a moment, everyone was in danger and had no time to care. At this moment, another shocking news came from Yiguang Mansion: the superior government office accepted a real-name report from Toshiba Station.
A soldier named Du Yujia took the lead and took the initiative to expose to the headquarters that the former commander Yujieyi Cheng Lu Pei took advantage of his position to lie about the damage to the mecha and had been engaged in illegal reselling of weapons that had been privately held in the armory for a long time. Eliminate armaments.
A dead man cannot explain himself. A large amount of evidence was exposed all at once through the hands of Du Yujia. Later, after the military department's assassins followed the clues, they finally dug out a hidden secret between Yiguang Mansion Yujie and Toshiba. The scrap armor trading industry chain in the two towns.
In the past few days, Yujie Station, which has been the focus of public opinion, was finally taken over by the knife hunters sent by the military amid the attention of the people. At the same time, the nine leaders of the post office and all the officials in the yamen were detained, including Shi Liang and the newly promoted leader Gao Wenbin.

"Master Qingtian, you must not wrongly accuse your benefactor!" A young lady of 17 or 18 years old, who was quite heroic, led a group of common people, old and young, to gather at the yamen gate of Yujie Post. The door opened, and before the green-robed official who walked out of it could react, he stepped forward and accidentally blocked his retreat. Naturally, other people around him also swarmed around him.
The bustle today is much more lively than in the past. The official and auxiliary road in front of the Yamen is densely packed with people in simple clothes. The people gathered around are dusty, and their eyes are full of anxiety and expectation.
The news of Gao Wenbin's detention was reported back to Gao'en Village yesterday, but the news of the sky's collapse frightened this group of hard-working people who had just gained a comfortable life. They really didn't care about eating or sleeping, and they had to take care of their families. He had set out from the mountains all night and traveled the mountain road all night, and it was only in this early morning that he dragged his tired and haggard body and spontaneously came here to ask for help.
The green-robed official was just a footman, so how dare he answer the girl's words? When he was about to refuse, he was hugged by a stern old man.
The old man was originally the steward of a wealthy family in the valley, so he learned some refined speech, and he spoke tremblingly: "Master Qingtian, although we are despised in life, we dare not forget our kindness to Gao Gong Wenbin for a moment. Today, Lu Pei died of drunkenness. The dirty things he did should not hinder the high righteousness of my family's benefactor. I would like to use my body as a guarantee. I sincerely ask Master Qingtian to look into it!"
"I beg Master Qingtian to take a closer look!" The old man shouted, arousing the crowd's excitement. As he spoke, he did not care about the embarrassment and retreat of the young man in front of him, and knelt down on the ground, crying and kowtowing.
Naturally, the rest of the entourage followed closely behind the old man. The crowd at the yamen gate suddenly fell to their knees, with many people wailing. This is probably the 'wisdom' of the poor people at the bottom. The old man naturally knows that the young people who come out cannot make the decision, but this person is the one he can meet, and he may very well be the only official official he can meet. If we don't seize this opportunity, I'm afraid that from now on, everyone on duty inside will hide away when they see them, and there will be no news of their benefactor.
They have nothing to offer. Of course, they don't have any interests worthy of the superiors. Only by abandoning the dignity and face that can still make people look at them at this time, may there be a slight possibility to win the "never" inside. The sympathy and compassion of the high-ranking officials who have gone out are both sad and deplorable.
After all, the story of the 'Heroes of the Jade Festival' was sung not long ago. Today's old rhetoric can naturally attract the attention of merchants. More and more people are watching. For a while, the Yamen is like a busy city, and it is really lively.
The green-robed official was already surrounded like this in a moment. Naturally, he was blushing, but he was helpless. This group of poor people had hugged his feet and blocked his surroundings. He could never step on their backs and escape in public, in full view of everyone. He could only look longingly at the people inside the yamen. companion.
At this time, the door of the government office has been closed tightly, and the other green robes are naturally pressed against the door panel to prevent people from rebelling and breaking in. They are just a group of low-level cadres, and they can't make the final decision, but they have to wait for the news that has already rushed into the inner hall. Those who believe can call the chief official to come up with an idea.
But after a while, a burly middle-aged man walked out of the inner hall and was naturally surrounded by a group of green-robed officials like stars holding the moon. I saw that this man was also wearing a green robe, but the clothes were surrounded by gold threads. There were naturally three more flowing three-pointed flame patterns than the others.
The middle-aged man was calm and composed. He had already inquired about the situation outside. Of course, he no longer needed to send people to take a peek. Instead, he calmly commanded: "Go and open the door first!" The voice was steady and calm, which was much more. Some heroic and majestic domineering.
A group of Gao'en villagers outside the door were already kneeling on the spot. Suddenly they saw the rightful owner coming out from inside. Naturally, they knelt even more vigorously. Their voices unconsciously raised three points and they said hoarsely: "I beg Master Qingtian to see clearly! Give me back my home." My benefactor is fair!"
The man was not in a hurry to speak. He just helped the people who were crowding around the door and lying nearby to stand up one by one, and then said seriously: "I have heard that those who collect firewood for others should not let them freeze to death in the wilderness. Wait and see Don’t worry, Gao Wenbin not only has no fault, but also has the merit of proof. The villagers can return home with peace of mind. In the name of the head of Huang Yan’s 31st Cluster, I guarantee that Gao Wenbin will be fine!”
A group of common people in Gaoen Village had already received the correct belief, and they shouted three times: "Master Qingtian is wise! Master Qingtian is wise! Master Qingtian is wise!"

The dark cell was a little damp and cold, and Shi Liang was sitting alone on the wooden board. His body had not fully recovered, and his face was yellow and even weaker.
He had not slept for four days. His head was dizzy, his whole body was swollen, and his limbs were weak and drooping, as if he was on the verge of collapse.
Outside the light wall in front of him, the man in green robe changed his mind again and again, answering fifty-seven questions over and over again. Even if it was a random question, he knew it by heart, and his answers relied entirely on instinct.
Shi Liang is a soldier, and his ability to withstand pressure and frustration has been specially trained. His willpower is naturally higher than that of ordinary people, so the torture he is suffering now has increased exponentially. Four days of not eating, drinking, sleeping, and asking questions all the time had made Shi Liang's lips dry and his mouth blistered. However, this inhuman torture obviously would not stop there.
But what he knew was so pitiful that even if he told nonsense, it would be difficult to gain peace. Lu Pei protected him so well that Shi Liang really knew nothing about what he was doing behind his back and was completely indifferent. Confused.
"Please don't ask anymore, don't ask anymore, let me die! Let me die! Ah! Ah! Ah!" The old row leader in the next row has gone crazy, shouting from time to time, obviously He is still being questioned. I don’t know if he experienced the same thing as Shi Liang, or maybe it was another more cruel criminal law.
Shi Liang had heard Wu Qisan say before that these gangsters were ruthless and ruthless. In addition to the eighteen kinds of torture, they would sometimes cover the prisoners' eyes with gauze and pierce the skin with a thin needle while allowing the prisoners' blood to flow smoothly. As his heart beats out drop by drop, he continues to interrogate without stopping, taking his time.
The fear of death is such a nightmare that even if the prisoner refuses to confess honestly, he will often be driven crazy or scared to death before his blood dries up.
"Of course, there may be only a small number of news that have been circulated after all. Most of them are weird and sinister methods that people have never heard of or seen. The extent of the perversion may only be known by those who have experienced it personally, provided that he can come out completely. , and then I’ll tell you.” At that time, they were still in the recruit camp, and the perverted Lao Wu was talking about it with great enthusiasm. Shi Liang, Yang Hao, Geng Er, Geng San, Wang Dashi and others were still making melon and egg balls, and they were all given to them. His face turned blue with fear.
Many things in reality are often more exciting than rumors. The personal experience at this moment left Shi Liang speechless. (He doesn’t know that the knife catcher is actually the most ‘gentle’ towards him)
'Let me die! 'I don't know when the man started to have the idea of ending it all, but is death really so easy?
Obviously not.
At this moment, a man in green robe walked into the interrogation room with a dot matrix token. After some exchanges, he spoke to the prisoner inside through the light curtain: "Shi Liang, the leader of the third row of Yujie Station, has been identified. You are indeed not involved in the Lu Pei case. Since you have served in the army for many years and have made no major mistakes, you are now allowed to be released. However, you are no longer able to take up your original post. The military department has ordered you to be transferred to the acting head of the fifth bank of Huang Yan Division Shangyuanyi, concurrently. The commander of the right post."
