Cai Ying said it heartbreakingly. If this report had not come from his own laboratory, Huo Tingyu would have thought carefully about whether Chen Jinjun was using a trick to get rid of Cai Ying.
But the evidence is evidence, and it is irrefutable.
Huo Tingyu looked at Cai Ying indifferently: "This evidence came from the government. Does President Cai have anything else to say?"
Cai Ying's heart tightened, but she still spoke out and shouted with fear: "It's unfair. As the president of the Yongzhou Chamber of Commerce, how could I take the lead in smoking? It is something that harms the people."
"Don't you dare?" Huo Tingyu laughed angrily, "Is there anything else that Cai Ying doesn't dare to do?"
Xu Fanming sneered: "You, Cai Ying, still know that smoke is harmful to the people."
Cai Ying looked at Huo Tingyu and said very sincerely: "Commander, heaven and earth can be a lesson. If I, Cai Ying, use tobacco, I will never be reincarnated."
Seeing justice written all over Cai Ying's face, Huo Tingyu felt extremely ironic.
"Cai Ying, do you still think that I was instigated by Dong Chen's family to raid your Cai family?"
Cai Ying became even more excited: "She, Chen Jinjun, just relied on her beauty to confuse the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief cannot let this vixen from the capital confuse his mind and ruin the friendship between us."
"Friendship?" Huo Tingyu's face twitched under his military cap, "Do you still have the nerve to talk about friendship?"
Huo Tingyu stood up and walked towards Cai Ying while taking out a gun from his waist.
"Click -" the sound of bullets being loaded echoed in the cleaned underground workshop.
The cold muzzle of the gun pressed against Cai Ying's jaw. Huo Tingyu tried hard to suppress the murderous intention in his heart and said coldly: "Do you dare? To the mountains and forests outside the city, say it again, Cai Ying has not touched the smoke.
?”
Looking at Huo Tingyu's emotionless eyes, Cai Ying panicked.
He raised his neck and looked at Huo Tingyu with tentative eyes: "What is the commander talking about? I...I don't understand."
As he spoke, an awkward and lucky smile appeared on his face, which was uglier than crying.
Huo Tingyu exerted force on his wrist and pushed the muzzle upward again. Cai Ying had to continue to raise her head to relieve the pressure caused by the cold barrel of the gun against her chin.
Finally, Cai Ying's head reached a height that could no longer be raised.
He is not a fool, on the contrary, the fact that he can achieve this position shows that he is a genius.
Naturally, he could also understand the suppressed murderous look in Huo Tingyu's eyes.
He stuttered and said: "Commander, you can't kill me."
Huo Tingyu squinted his eyes, pressed the pistol harder against Cai Ying's chin, and moved his finger to the trigger.
"You committed such a heinous crime, why can't I kill you?"
Cai Ying swallowed, her hands and feet felt as cold as if they no longer existed.
"I...I have done hard work for the entire Yongzhou over the past few years without any credit, Marshal."
Huo Tingyu made a sound and looked at Cai Ying indifferently.
Cai Ying gasped: "I have paid no less taxes these years. All I earn is the money of those poor people, and I respect you."
A flattering smile appeared on his face.
Huo Tingyu looked at his greasy face, which was full of vulgarity, and kicked him from the chair to the ground.
"Cai Ying, what have you done over the years? How many cigarettes have you sold to Yongzhou? Let's settle this account slowly."
Cai Ying's hands and feet were weak, and she tried several times to get up from the ground.
Just now, the aura of Huo Tingyu crawling out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood made him almost wet his pants.
Chen Jinjun and Xu Fanming also felt Huo Tingyu's aura.
Chen Jinjun squinted her eyes. This was the first time she had seen Huo Tingyu burst out with the momentum around him. It had to be said that Huo Tingyu usually looked like a man in power. It was difficult to tell that the murderous aura in him was not weaker than that of the big bandit in Guandong.
Even more powerful than that one.
She swiped the tip of her tongue between her lips with great interest and squinted her eyes.
Xu Fanming also raised his eyebrows. He could tell at a glance that Huo Tingyu's aura could only be cultivated by fighting on the battlefield. It was completely different from the violent aura he had developed in himself by fighting in the arena.
Also, a person of this age who can have his own place among the northwest warlords cannot be just an embroidered pillow with a fierce look and a soft heart.
Huo Tingyu straightened the chair that had fallen on the ground with his feet, sat on it, and looked down at Cai Ying, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Kneel down." Huo Tingyu's impatient voice came from Cai Ying's head. Cai Ying quickly closed her legs and glanced at Huo Tingyu tremblingly.
Huo Tingyu's face turned livid: "I'll ask you again, have you ever touched smoke?"
Cai Ying did not dare to go around in circles with Huo Tingyu anymore, but she still tried to please Huo Tingyu with a playful smile: "That thing is so heart-wrenching, I dare not touch it."
"Then you process the tobacco into something else and sell it to the people?" Huo Tingyu played with the gun in his hand, making Cai Ying tremble with fear.
Cai Ying showed a trace of disdain on her face: "Those poor devils will die if they die..."
Before he finished speaking, Huo Tingyu stepped on his hand on his knee, and the rough sole of his military boots crushed the back of Cai Ying's hand heavily.
"Say it again."
The expression on Cai Ying's face was uglier than crying: "Commander, I, Cai Ying, have never done anything sorry for you in my life."
Huo Tingyu glanced at him impatiently: "Aren't you sorry for me? Then you are doing this in my Yongzhou?"
He looked at Cai Ying as if he were looking at something unclean, showing disgust.
"Cai Ying, what are you planning on?"
Cai Ying was so overwhelmed by Huo Tingyu's aura that she could only open her mouth and breathe out.
"Commander, I, Cai Ying, only do it for money. I have never thought of harming anyone, Marshal."
His voice was trembling, and the expression on his face looked particularly ferocious combined with the dirt that had just been stained on the ground.
"Not wanting to harm others and not wanting to harm others are two different things." Chen Jinjun shook his head at Cai Ying.
Cai Ying did not look at Chen Jinjun. He knew that whether he could pass this test today depended on whether Huo Tingyu was willing to let him go.
As for Chen Jinjun?
When he escapes this disaster, he must let her know that doing business in Yongzhou depends on his Cai Ying's face.
Thinking like this, Cai Ying looked at a corner of the underground workshop. There was originally an escape route he had left for himself, but when he just passed by, the road had been blocked from the other side.
Otherwise, he would not be able to stay here and wait for Huo Tingyu pretending to be calm.
But this time it's not just Huo Tingyu, but also Chen Jinjun and Xu Fanming.
From the moment Xu Fanming learned that Cai Ying was involved in the cigarette business, he never thought of leaving a way for him to survive.
What's more, when Xu Fanming gritted his teeth and saw the so-called "sentence" he gave to Chen Jinjun in the mountains, it was even more impossible for him to die a good death.
