Ji Manqing sat in the cell in silence.
She didn't know what punishment she would be punished, her thoughts were extremely chaotic, worry and fear had been hanging around her all the time.
In just a few days, Ji Manqing's face has become haggard a lot.
It is daytime, and the light in the cell is dim.
The light poured down, and the ground was bright and dark.
The cell was extremely quiet, full of deathly silence.
In the silence, there was a sudden sound of gentle footsteps.
Ji Manqing still hung his head, his eyes fell on the ground, as if he hadn't cared about the outside world.
A familiar voice rang above his head.
Ye Chu's cold voice fell: "How does it feel to be from a special commissioner to a prisoner?"
Ji Manqing was startled and looked up.
It is Lu Huai and Ye Chu.
A heavy anger surged in her heart.
Ji Manqing said angrily: "You exposed Gu Renshan's corruption incident, which made me fall to this point."
They kept the news too tight, and they were not prepared at all.
Now that things have been revealed, she has no time to do anything.
Ye Chu said sarcastically: "What? Do you regret coming to Shanghai?"
"When you were expelled from Shanghai, now you are embarrassed as a prisoner."
Ji Manqing fled Shanghai back then and has become the laughing stock of Shanghai.
Now that the position of the special commissioner has not been secured, she has been put in prison again.
The words and sentences of Ye Chu are all satirizing Ji Manqing's irresponsibility.
Ji Manqing gritted his teeth with hatred: "I am so miserable now, you are satisfied now."
She clenched her fists and was extremely angry.
Ye Chu came here to humiliate her.
The corner of Ye Chu's mouth sneered: "Ji Manqing, all your calculations have failed."
Her tone was extremely cold: "You will never be able to beat us."
The air fell heavily, with the chill of winter.
Ji Manqing paused for a few seconds: "You won't have the last laugh."
Lu Huai said blankly: "Do you think Dong Hongchang will come to rescue you?"
Ji Manqing is extremely stubborn, she may not be expecting Dong Hongchang to rescue her.
She has worked for him for many years. Will Dong Hongchang be reluctant to give up this chess piece
Unfortunately, her dream was destined to fail.
Ji Manqing was startled: "Do you know my relationship with Dong Hongchang?"
Lu Huai: "Your every move is under my control."
Lu Huai glanced at her extremely coldly, his voice piercing Ji Manqing's ears like an ice front.
"If Dong Hongchang knew you were in jail, what do you think he would do?"
Ji Manqing was shocked.
Fear hit her, and her hands couldn't help shaking.
Dong Hongchang will kill her.
She has no amulet, and for Dong Hongchang, it is no longer of any use.
Moreover, Dong Hongchang was worried that he would expose his secrets and would not save her.
Ji Manqing immediately changed his tone: "I know many things about Dong Hongchang. If you let me make a living, I will tell you all of them."
Lu Huai looked at him coldly, and there seemed to be a storm under his dark eyes.
The expression sank suddenly.
Lu Huai said coldly: "Ajiu was so young back then, why didn't you have any pity for her?"
Lu Huai's whole body was deadly, and the dark eyes flicked through the chill.
"A Yue didn't provoke you, you still murdered him."
The cold voice fell without any ups and downs, but it made my heart tremble.
"Ji Manqing, you will end up hurting others and you will end up hurting yourself. Now you have to blame for everything."
The cell was extremely dark, and Lu Huai's expression became clearer.
His anger seemed to penetrate into the bones through the deep darkness.
Ji Manqing was startled.
The Lu family is her enemy, and she shouldn't beg for mercy.
But when she thought of what Dong Hongchang would do with her, she shuddered.
Ji Manqing begged: "I beg you, spare my life, and don't let me fall into Dong Hongchang's hands."
"I will tell you everything I know."
An irony flashed through Lu Huai's eyes: "Do you think this is the end?"
Ji Manqing's imprisonment is just the first step.
After that, she will continue to suffer in pain and despair, and life is better than death.
People who are not righteous will be punished in the end.
Lu Huai spoke slowly, expressing coldness every word: "Ji Manqing, I said, I will let you fall into hell."
Ji Manqing gave a sad laugh.
From fluke escape, to desperate imprisonment.
She did fall into hell.
Never see any light anymore.
Lu Huai and Ye Chu left, and the cell fell silent.
The cage was dark and gloomy, and the lights and shadows all around were dull.
Ji Manqing's heart completely fell to the bottom, and darkness struck, it was hopeless despair.
…
Lu Huai returned to the Governor's Mansion.
Gu Renshan fell and Ji Manqing was arrested and imprisoned.
Dong Hongchang's last move in Shanghai was finally abandoned.
Because of Shang Si Dao's participation, this matter went more smoothly.
As for what to do with Ji Manqing, Lu Huai's eyes suddenly became cold.
After thinking about it, he called Beiping.
Shang Sidao answered the phone.
Lu Huai said, "Ji Manqing has been arrested, thank you for your help."
"No need." Shang Sidao laughed, "We are all for the sake of the government, not to mention that Gu Renshan's fall from the horse made some people dare not act rashly."
Shang Sidao's position is temporarily unstable, and he is trying to make some achievements.
He was worried that he could not find the time to start.
The Gu Renshan corruption case happened to give Shang Sidao a chance.
Shang Sidao thought for a while: "By the way, that colleague Ji Manqing, what are you going to do with it?"
Lu Huai: "I'm here for this."
Shang Si said: "Oh? You already have an idea?"
Lu Huai said, "I want to deal with this person myself."
Shang Sidao didn't hesitate: "Then she will leave it to you."
Shang Sidao had heard of the previous events of the Ji family and the Lu family.
Many years ago, it was impossible for Ji Manqing to be expelled from Shanghai for no reason.
I want to come to her to leave, it must have nothing to do with the Lu family.
Lu Huai suddenly said: "However, Ji Manqing's escort to Peiping still has to be carried out."
Shang Sidao was taken aback and did not speak.
Shang Sidao didn't know what Lu Huai wanted to do, but he wouldn't ask more.
They worked together, he trusted Lu Huai, and he didn't care about other things.
Shang Sidao smiled instead: "I believe you can handle it well."
Lu Huai's tone also relaxed a little: "It will never add to the obstacles to the Beiping government."
Shang Si said: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Huai's face returned to calm.
Lu Huai turned his head and looked out the window. His profile was cold and sharp.
The outside of the Warlord's House was frosty white.
The weather in winter is getting colder, with dead branches and leaves, as if lifeless.
It's like the final struggle that is coming.
The murderous air permeated, adding a touch of bitterness.
Lu Huai's thoughts gradually sank.
Ji Manqing has done a lot of evil, and has had grievances with the Lu family for many years.
The Lu family had already let her life go before, and she did not rest her mind, but took refuge in Dong Hongchang, the enemy of the Lu family.
This person must die.
However, Lu Huai didn't want to dirty his hands.
He naturally has the most suitable candidate in his heart.
Instead, Dong Hongchang should do this.
Lu Huai's goal is clear. He wants to force Dong Hongchang to leave Hanyang.
Lu Huai sneered, Dong Hongchang was really greedy for life and fear of death.
These killings are never done personally.
He has been in Hanyang for many years, hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything.
But according to the current situation, he had to leave Hanyang.
Lu Huai made a call.
A few minutes later, the door of the study was knocked.
Adjutant Zhou walked in quickly: "San Shao."
Lu Huai's eyes were indifferent: "Pass the Ji Manqing incident to Hanyang as soon as possible."
"Let Dong Hongchang know the serious consequences of this incident."
"Because the Gu Renshan corruption case involves so many things, Ji Manqing will be sent to Peiping for questioning."
Adjutant Zhou lowered his head: "Yes, the third master."
If Dong Hongchang knew that Ji Manqing's affairs had been exposed, there was no need for them to intervene.
He will definitely come to Shanghai by himself.
As long as Dong Hongchang arrives in Shanghai, he will leave the scope of his rights.
Lu Huai will wait for him here.
For many things, it is time to settle the accounts.
…
Hanyang.
Dong Hongchang clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.
He already knew what happened in Shanghai and Beiping.
Ji Manqing's special commissioner status was abolished, and now he has become a prisoner.
Even the men who lay in ambush in Shanghai and secretly helped Ji Manqing were all eliminated by Lu Huai.
Not long ago, all the strongholds in Shanghai had been destroyed.
It is equivalent to Lu Huai's ruined all his layout in Shanghai.
But at this moment, Dong Hongchang is not thinking of how long it will take to rebuild his information network next.
He focused on another, more important thing.
How should I protect myself
Just as Dong Hongchang was thinking about it, his subordinates walked into the room.
In the extremely silent room, the sound of pushing the door and footsteps was particularly pronounced.
Dong Hongchang was extremely alert, and he quickly glanced at the people.
"What's the matter?"
The subordinates were respectful: "Warlord, the news has been found."
Dong Hongchang looked cold: "To be specific."
"Before the arrest of Ji Manqing." The subordinates spoke extremely fast, "The news of Gu Renshan's downfall was completely blocked."
He knew that Dong Hongchang was angry and didn't want to cause trouble again.
"This is a confidential document. It is reported that the person performing the task in Peking is Shang Sidao."
Shang Sidao is the son of Vice Premier Shang.
Dong Hongchang was slightly startled.
It seems that when Ji Manqing entered Shanghai as a special commissioner, Lu Huai had already figured out a countermeasure.
Even though Gu Renshan concealed the incident, Lu Huai still found out the truth from clues.
This matter came prepared.
He even joined Shang Sidao and wanted to attack Gu Renshan.
But this is already an event, Dong Hongchang frowned, and the matter has developed to where it is now.
The subordinates continued: "After Ji Manqing is arrested, he will be escorted to Peking immediately."
Dong Hongchang asked: "Gu Renshan's interrogation has not started yet?"
The subordinate lowered his head: "The spy's intelligence is..."
"Shang Sidao made a suggestion to arrest his colleague Ji Manqing before starting the trial."
Dong Hongchang's complexion became even colder.
Needless to think about it, he already knew that this must be Lu Huai's idea.
Shang Sidao just helped Lu Huai do this.
With regard to Ji Manqing, Lu Huai made sufficient preparations to cut his back.
Dong Hongchang's voice was cold: "Go down."
The subordinate left the room.
Dong Hongchang's eyes gradually deepened, and his previous anger had disappeared.
He calmly sorted out the order of the matter.
Regardless of whether Ji Manqing can successfully reach Peiping, Lu Huai can achieve his goal.
If Ji Manqing appeared at the interrogation site in Beiping, according to her temperament, she would definitely confess what she had asked her to do.
Lu Huai wanted to drag himself into the water without a trace. This was one of them.
If Ji Manqing can't get to Peking safely, there is only one possibility.
He took the initiative to appear in Shanghai, excluding Ji Manqing.
Lu Huai was forcing him to leave Hanyang, which was the second.
Dong Hongchang must make a choice.
His eyes are darker, but his mood is extremely peaceful.
He wants to get rid of Ji Manqing.
At this time, there was a chilling wind outside the window.
The wind slammed in, and the windows were hunting.
Winter is here.
The sky in Hanyang was even darker.
He has no retreat.
