The time goes back to twenty days ago.

This morning.

Wuchang Mansion, Jiangnan Republican Army Headquarters Building.

Li Xinghong was in the Military Counselor's Office, busy dealing with mountains of documents.

As the Chairman of the General Senate of the Military Advisory Office, whenever a war breaks out, in addition to the General Staff Headquarters, he is also very busy.

Since the turmoil occurred in Fujian Province a few days ago and the Cantonese army suddenly launched an attack on the Fujian army, the situation in Jiangnan has also become delicate.

Today is very busy again. From breakfast to noon, he has not raised his butt from the chair once. He keeps reviewing documents, sometimes just a few sentences or a few words, sometimes in long and eloquent speeches.

.

I just occasionally put down my pen, stretch my wrist, and take a sip of hot tea served by my confidential adjutant.

Li Xinghong is quite satisfied with the position of Chairman of the General Senate of the Military Advisory Office, so he shows special enthusiasm for his job.

In fact, he is not the kind of person who hands off the shopkeeper and leaves everything to his secretary or adjutant to handle, while he enjoys his leisure by drinking tea and smoking.

He likes the kind of person who is hands-on and firmly grasps the power in his hands.

With a "bang..." sound, the door was pushed open.

Li Xinghong was startled. With a flick of his wrist, a large drop of ink fell down, instantly smearing the document he had just reviewed.

He was furious and his face immediately turned the color of pot.

Who is so bold? He can push open the door of the dignified military counselor's office at will, and he is so rude.

He raised his head and was about to have an attack, but when he saw that the person who walked in hurriedly was Yuan Fang, his heart couldn't help but thump.

Yuan Fang of the Internal Security Department rarely visits his military counselor's office.

Seeing his pale face and panicked expression, something serious must have happened?!

Li Xinghong stood up in excitement, "You are so confused, what happened?"

Yuan Fang swallowed hard, looked at Li Xinghong, and said in a deep voice:

"President of the General Senate, the situation is not good. The Zhejiang army made a big move. The Shanghai army suddenly took the road and headed towards Fujian Province. Sun Yong sent troops to stop it, but was detained in public by the guards sent by Li Pinzhang!"

"Bang..." sound.

Li Xinghong's figure suddenly disappeared from Yuan Fang's eyes.

Yuan Fang was shocked and hurried forward to find that Li Xinghong suddenly heard the news and fell down behind the case and sat on the ground.

The documents on the table suddenly turned into snowflakes, covering his body.

Yuan Fang and the confidential adjutant beside him worked together to help him up.

Li Xinghong didn't bother to pat the paper on his body and looked straight at Yuan Fang, "Yuan Fang, are you kidding me?"

Yuan Fang took a breath and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, Chairman of the General Senate, this is an urgent report sent back from Hangzhou by the Department of Internal Health, and it is connected to three emergency telegrams, and they transmit almost the same content. How dare I

I’m kidding you about this!”

As he spoke, he handed over the three urgent telegrams in his hand.

Li Xinghong took it and read it quickly to confirm that Yuan Fang was indeed not joking. At this time, the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily.

To say that Li Pinzhang is ambitious and not very convinced of Chen Tianhua is obvious, and it is not something that has happened recently.

Anyway, Mr. Li is in charge of Zhejiang Province. No matter how much Li Pinzhang has an idea, he can't make any noise, just like Sun Wukong can't turn out the palm of Tathagata Buddha.

But the content of the secret message from the Department of Internal Security is different.

Li Pinzhang allowed more than 20,000 elite Shanghai troops led by Chen Qimei to pass through the Zhejiang Army and attack the Fujian Army from the north. This was an obvious act of rebellion against the enemy.

Moreover, he also publicly detained Sun Yong, deputy commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang Army and commander of the Zhejiang First Division.

According to regulations, the commander-in-chief of the local garrison and the detention of officers above the brigade commander must obtain the consent of the Republican Army Headquarters.

These two behaviors that clearly crossed the red line occurred. Did Li Pinzhang really want to rebel?

Wandering around in the room like a trapped animal, Li Xinghong suddenly turned to Yuan Fang, with anger in his eyes, "What do you do for food? What are your Internal Security Department doing? Are they all eating and waiting to die?"

Yuan Fang was trembling. He was a little frightened by Li Xinghong's terrifying expression. "Your Excellency, President of the General Senate, the focus of the Internal Security Department is counter-espionage and internal discipline. However, Mr. Li San has always behaved normally. There are no abnormalities or signs."

…”

"There are no signs, so he suddenly went crazy?" Li Xinghong roared.

Yuan Fang was close to Li Xinghong in the Jiangnan Republican Army, and also won the favor of the new Chairman of the General Senate. In the battle with Xu Yunyuan over the Military Adjustment Department, Li Xinghong obviously favored Yuan Fang.

In the eyes of many outsiders, everyone thinks that Yuan Fang is a member of Li Xinghong's gang.

"According to the report from the secret agent of the Internal Security Department, a few days ago, Mr. Li followed Li Pinzhang to find Hu Yaoxiang and found out an important fact... It was found out that Lan Die was killed twelve years ago, and the boss of the ship who jumped into the river was actually Chen Tianhua's

Father - Chen Shaoan..." Yuan Fang further elaborated.

With a bang, Li Xinghong overturned the table in anger, "Old man, how did the old man get to Shaoxing Mansion? How come Mr. Li San knows everything about this matter, and you didn't find out at all?"

Regarding the young officer who followed Li Cunzhi to intercept Lan Die on the canal that day twelve years ago, he was actually Li Xinghong.

Not long ago, Li Xinghong also found out through Yuan Fang's Internal Security Department that the boss who jumped into the river and was shot to death was actually Chen Tianhua's father, Chen Shaoan, also known as Chen Laoqi.

Speaking of which, Li Xinghong was also one of the murderers of Chen Laoqi.

But how Chen Tianhua knew the cause and effect of this matter, Li Xinghong really didn't know. Maybe Yuan Fang deliberately concealed it.

But he knew that there was a key figure named Hu Yaoxiang, who once served as chairman of the Huaikan Town Building Materials General Factory.

He instructed Yuan Fang to closely monitor Hu Yaoxiang and take decisive measures when necessary, and not to lose the big for the small.

I didn’t expect…

Yuan Fang pretended to be very aggrieved and argued:

"Your Excellency, Chairman of the General Senate, Hu Yaoxiang has actually been under the strict control of the Military Adjustment Department. My Internal Security Department has no way to intervene. After being warned several times, I later ordered the withdrawal of surveillance personnel and handed it over to the Military Adjustment Department!"

"Xu Yunyuan!"

Li Xinghong seemed to have thought of something. He jumped up suddenly, strode out, and shouted to Yuan Fang:

"Why are you still staying here? Immediately inform Chief Ji, the two Vice Chiefs Jiang and Sun, and Luo Erhu, etc. Notify all senior officials to gather at the headquarters!"

"Then President of the General Senate, where are you going?" Yuan Fang asked in confusion.

"I'm going there, to the Military Investigation Department!" Li Xinghong shouted.

Due to the nature of the work, the office of the Military Adjustment Department is not located in the Wuchang Military Government compound. Instead, it is located in a mansion more than 200 meters away from the military government, in a separate house.

Several officers from the Military Adjustment Department in black uniforms saw a senior general with the rank of deputy commander and a military coat running towards the Military Adjustment Company's headquarters.

On the left and right sides of him, a dozen guards were also following closely, and they couldn't help but be surprised.
Chapter completed!
