Zhao Zuoliang watched in bewilderment as his son was carried back majestically by Zhao Kaihe, and he knelt in front of Zhao Kaishan and shivered.
For a moment, he couldn't figure out what happened to make this happen.
Why did Zhao Kaihe bring his son here?
"Xiuye...what...what's going on?"
Zhao Xiuye lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Zhao Kaihe looked at Zhao Zuoliang with a proud look on his face.
"What's going on? Isn't it crystal clear? The one who embezzled pensions and war bounties is your eldest son, Zhao Xiuye! There are witnesses and physical evidence, and the evidence is ironclad and cannot be denied!"
Zhao Zuoliang was suddenly struck dumb like a bolt from the blue.
"This...how is this possible?"
Zhao Zuoliang couldn't believe this was true, but the fact was that Zhao Xiuye couldn't say a word to refute these accusations.
Zhao Kaihe then showed Zhao Xiuye's secret account books and some witnesses, directly completing the chain of evidence.
The evidence is overwhelming.
it is true.
Zhao Xiuye relied on Zhao Zuoliang's identity to seize money that should not belong to him from pensions and war bounties through various means.
The responsible officials and local officials were intimidated by his status and did not dare to confront him, so they could only give him the money honestly.
Then after he got the money, he went to pay off his gambling debts, and then continued gambling, spending money lavishly, drinking and living an extremely extravagant life.
Zhao Xiuye stole people's hard work money in this way.
Of course, besides Zhao Xiuye, there were also many people who took action on the money, but Zhao Xiuye was the most ruthless and evil-hearted, and he was a member of the Zhao family, so he was caught as a typical example.
Therefore, Zhao Zuoliang's current situation is very bad.
He initiated the anti-corruption campaign and recommended anti-corruption officials. In the end, the biggest gain from the anti-corruption campaign was his son.
This is very embarrassing.
Not only Zhao Zuoliang was embarrassed, Zhao Kaishan was also really embarrassed.
The anti-corruption campaign was blamed on his own family, and the flood that flooded the Dragon King Temple really left him speechless.
"Uncle, what's going on?"
Zhao Kaishan suppressed his displeasure and looked at Zhao Zuoliang, hoping to get a meaningful answer.
But Zhao Zuoliang couldn't give him a satisfactory answer. All he could do was sigh and apologize to Zhao Kaishan.
"Commander, I don't know how to teach my son. My family is unfortunate. Such a bastard has happened. I really have no face to see the elders in my hometown. I can only resign and resign from my position to comfort my elders in my hometown and give everyone an explanation."
"This... uncle, let's take a long-term approach to this matter, right?"
Zhao Kaishan did not want Zhao Zuoliang to resign, because Zhao Zuoliang's existence was still very meaningful to him. Without Zhao Zuoliang, he would not know who to discuss many things with.
Although he really didn't listen to Zhao Zuoliang very much.
But now that Zhao Zuoliang is resigning, the situation is different.
However, Zhao Kaishan was unwilling, but Zhao Kaihe was very willing. How could he not seize such a good opportunity to overthrow Zhao Zuoliang?
So Zhao Kaihe proposed to Zhao Kaishan.
"This matter has caused a big fuss, and the fact that the corrupt criminal is the uncle's eldest son has also spread widely, and the impact is very bad. If we don't punish them severely, I'm afraid we won't be able to convince the public, and the rules set by my brother will lose their deterrent effect. efficacy.
If a member of the family makes a mistake and cannot be punished, but requires outsiders to abide by it, then such a thing will definitely not be recognized. The world will think that the brother is just joking, and similar things will happen again and again without being able to stop it. "
Zhao Kaihe pretended to be fair and strict and advised Zhao Kaishan.
Zhao Kaishan thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case. If he could not deal with this matter seriously, his prestige would be even more shaken.
So he looked at Zhao Kaihe quite unhappily.
"Knowing that there is something wrong with Xiuye, don't you know how to help hide it? I asked you to find a scapegoat, but I didn't ask you to find a scapegoat from our Zhao family. Can't you find an outsider? Huh? My uncle is my eldest son. , can’t you be a little considerate and deal with it in a low-key manner?
It's better now, everyone will know about the commotion, let everyone know that the Zhao family took the lead in disobeying orders and taking the lead in being greedy. What's bad is my Zhao family's reputation and makes my Zhao family's situation even more embarrassing, okay? You really don’t understand at all! "
Zhao Kaihe didn't expect that he could be scolded, so he felt quite unhappy and kept silent.
At this point, Zhao Kaishan had no choice but to order Zhao Xiuye to be jailed, confiscate the stolen money, and at the same time allow Zhao Zuoliang to resign.
Zhao Zuoliang said that he would return to his hometown, and from now on he would not be involved in any affairs of the Liberation Army, nor would he express any opinions on any affairs of the Zhao family. He would completely hand over his power and return to a normal life, thus laying the foundation for the entire incident. pot.
There is no other way. If you really encounter something like hitting the muzzle of a gun, you can only admit that you are unlucky. Even if you are not going to die, you have to shed your skin and hand over all the power you have in order to convince the public, otherwise you will not be able to justify it.
Zhao Zuoliang sacrificed himself to resolve the matter and quell public anger and all kinds of rumors in the army.
While solving this matter, Zhao Kaishan was also full of anger towards those unscrupulous casino operators.
He thought for a while and decided to secretly order his cronies to return to Yizhou, act carefully, and kill those bastards who were obsessed with money.
As for the scene, just simulate the fire scene directly.
Clean them all, exterminate them all, and leave no one behind.
Is it so easy to get the Zhao family's money?
Is the reputation of the Zhao family so easily ruined?
You should be very clear about what you should and should not say, what you should and should not do!
Is it because I'm so talkative that you all forget that I have hundreds of thousands of troops in my hands?
If the Zhao clan lost money, do they still have to pay it back?
Zhao Kaishan's heart was filled with the desire to kill.
He was already very unhappy, so he took this opportunity to vent his anger and relieve the long-standing resentment in his heart.
Of course, Zhao Kaihe deliberately tried to bring down Zhao Zuoliang, but in the end he failed to succeed.
Zhao Kaishan was even more dissatisfied with him and would not allow him to take charge of the army again. He was not even allowed to be the supervisor of Shandong and sent him to a place in Mizhou as a county magistrate.
"You don't understand what I mean at all, how can I let you continue to work by my side? Go to Mizhou!"
Zhao Kaishan expelled Zhao Kaihe without raising his head.
Zhao Kaihe was stunned, and finally became disheartened. He left the army in despair and went to take office in Mizhou.
Zhao Zuoliang's position was replaced by Zhao Yucheng.
Yes, Zhao Kaishan still couldn't let his son really become his personal guard captain, so he decided to release his son as a general. The commander of the Tabai Army belonged to Zhao Yucheng.
This incident seems to have no impact on the overall situation, but for Zhao Kaishan himself, the impact is still great.
At least Zhao Zuoliang was gone, and he had to rely on himself to plan many things. Although Zhao Zuoliang was not a strategist, he could still give him some advice.
Now, no more.
Zhao Kaishan had to make a separate plan for the future of the entire Liberation Army under such circumstances.
This is undoubtedly a nightmare.
Zhao Kaishan was having nightmares, and of course Zhao Zuoliang was also having a hard time.
This is the first time he has tasted the taste of losing power. No matter what happened before, he was the first adviser to the head of the Zhao family. He was a very important presence and had a high status both inside and outside the Zhao family.
But this time, because of Zhao Xiuye's bastard son, he not only lost his position in the Liberation Army, but also lost his authority within the Zhao family, completely becoming an insignificant old man of the Zhao family.
This feeling is very unpleasant.
When he returned home and found that only his wife, second son, and youngest daughter came to greet him, he felt even more uncomfortable.
"Is there any room for change regarding Xiuye?"
The wife was more concerned about her beloved eldest son. When she saw Zhao Zuoliang, she asked her son first, which made Zhao Zuoliang even more unhappy.
The suppressed emotions along the way finally broke out.
"We've reached this point, what else do I need to do? What else do I need to do to satisfy you? I asked him to study, and you said he could take a break if he was too tired from studying. I asked him to practice martial arts, but you said practicing martial arts was too much. If you are tired, you can take a breather!
Now, a person who is almost thirty years old is not good at writing or martial arts, but he is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling! I gambled until I lost hundreds of thousands! How dare you embezzle military funds! Let alone Kaishan, I want to kill his head! It's all because you doted on him so much that he became what he is today! "
