After Dong Hongchang found Liao Zhongcheng, he returned to the house soon.
He is not worried about whether Liao Zhongcheng will follow his instructions.
He lured him with such a huge interest, it is impossible for Liao Zhongcheng not to be moved.
Now, he just needs to wait patiently.
A few days later, the Peking government issued an announcement to cancel Lu Zongting's control of Shanghai.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately reached Dong Hongchang's ears.
It is destined that he will become the next person to supervise Shanghai.
Things are developing in the direction he hopes.
Everything is progressing smoothly now, so Dong Hongchang couldn't help but relax his vigilance.
His control of Shanghai is just around the corner.
…
As night fell, the cold wind became even colder.
In the winter, coldness hits, and the breath is full of white air.
The sky was so gloomy, and after a while, a little snow floated up.
Tiny and dry snow fell one after another, rustling.
On the seemingly quiet night, anxiety is always lurking in the dark.
Dong Hongchang's house.
Lu Huai brought a group of people and surrounded the house.
The movement was silent and did not attract anyone's attention.
In the dark night, Lu Huai and his men killed all the guards outside the house.
The gun was equipped with a silencer, and the bullet shot out without making any sound.
By the time the guards were alert, Lu Huai had already taken control of the situation.
Lu Huai entered through the gate, followed by a group of subordinates.
They fired with guns, and the guards in the house resisted with all their strength, but they still couldn't resist.
The snow in the night sky kept falling.
A few patches of snow fell between Lu Huai's hair, making his expression even more grim.
Lu Huai walked straight in, and all the guards that stopped them were subdued.
At this time, Dong Hongchang was in the study.
After hearing the riots outside, Dong Hongchang immediately became alert.
His house is heavily guarded, how could anyone enter it easily.
The man pushed in the door, looking anxious.
Dong Hongchang frowned: "What's the situation outside?"
The subordinate's tone was flustered: "A group of well-trained people broke into the house."
"Lu Huai is here."
Dong Hongchang's face sank, his eyes cold.
The subordinate said: "Most of our people are controlled."
Dong Hongchang knew that his success was in sight, and he must not let his previous plots be ruined.
Although he didn't want to show his timidity in front of Lu Huai, his best choice was to leave here.
Dong Hongchang walked out of the study, and his men escorted Dong Hongchang away from the back door.
The noise in the front yard continued, and Dong Hongchang speeded up his pace and walked towards the back yard.
As soon as I walked to the backyard, the back door had not had time to open.
A gun reached the back of Dong Hongchang's head.
Dong Hongchang was startled, he guessed that his house was completely surrounded by Lu Huai's people.
"Dong Hongchang, the third master is waiting for you in front."
The cold touch came from behind, which was extremely deterrent.
As long as Dong Hongchang resists a little bit, they will shoot.
Dong Hongchang was angry, but had to cooperate, and temporarily lowered his head.
Dong Hongchang was threatened by Lu Huai's men and walked out of the front yard.
In a short period of time, Lu Huai had completely controlled the entire house.
Dong Hongchang walked to the front yard and he looked at a person standing in the middle of the yard.
Seeing the movement here, Lu Huai turned to look at Dong Hongchang.
The snow was getting heavier and harder, and the fine snow fell on Lu Huai's shoulders, covering it with a thin layer.
Lu Huai's face was calm, his eyes were like deep pools, and there was no temperature.
Xu Shixue was a little bit heavy, and Dong Hongchang felt that his body was starting to become cold.
Dong Hongchang was brought before Lu Huai.
He didn't think Lu Huai would dare to kill him at this time.
It didn't take long for Lu Zongting to have an accident, and now it was on the cusp of the storm, with multiple eyes staring at them.
If Lu Huai took his life here, it would be too slanderous.
Lu Huai squinted his eyes and looked at Dong Hongchang.
His eyes were cold and indifferent.
The subordinate immediately lifted his foot and kicked Dong Hongchang's knee.
Dong Hongchang's legs were numb, and he was forced to kneel in front of Lu Huai.
His knee slammed heavily on the cold ground.
The snow was still falling, and the ground was damp and cold, refreshing.
Lu Huai looked at him condescendingly.
And such a posture is undoubtedly the biggest insult to Dong Hongchang.
But the muzzle was still straight against him, and he couldn't resist.
Dong Hongchang's eyes were furious, his hands clenched into fists on his sides.
In this situation, Dong Hongchang had to do this.
After a while, Dong Hongchang suppressed his anger.
Dong Hongchang deliberately satirized Lu Huai: "I heard that Lu Zongting has lost control of Shanghai."
"Now that you are acting like this, is it to give him injustice?"
Dong Hongchang's tone was provocative, and he did not hide his pride.
Dong Hongchang didn't know the inside story, he didn't know that everything was arranged by Lu Huai.
He believes that after Lu Zongting no longer supervises Shanghai, he will have access to Shanghai.
Seeing Dong Hongchang's proud look, Lu Huai sneered.
He did not take Dong Hongchang's words to heart.
There is a deep meaning in Lu Huai's words: "Stupid is beyond reach."
But now Dong Hongchang did not understand Lu Huai's meaning.
Lu Huai's eyebrows were grim: "You and Liao Zhongcheng colluded, do you think no one will find out?"
Dong Hongchang knew what Lu Huai was referring to.
He previously asked Liao Zhongcheng to submit a proposal.
When the Peking government abandoned Lu Zongting, he wanted to take the opportunity to replace him.
Dong Hongchang smiled, but the smile fell short of his eyes: "The Peiping government no longer trusts Lu Zongting."
What Dong Hongchang meant was that it is impossible for Lu Zongting to regain his supervision over Shanghai.
Hearing Dong Hongchang's words, Lu Huai was not angry.
There seemed to be another meaning in his words, but Dong Hongchang was so overwhelmed that he didn't notice it.
Lu Huai said, "You don't really think that the Peking government will approve this proposal, do you?"
Dong Hongchang made provocations many times, but Lu Huai's reaction disappointed him.
Lu Huai's eyes were extremely calm, and he didn't put him in his eyes at all.
Dong Hongchang ridiculed again: "Lu Zongting's loss of Shanghai's supervisory power is already a firm fact."
"No matter how much you say now, it won't help."
Hearing that, instead of being angry, Lu Huai smiled.
Lu Huai looked at Dong Hongchang's eyes, making him suddenly angry.
It seemed that all the things that he valued were not worth mentioning in Lu Huai's eyes.
Lu Huai glanced at Dong Hongchang, then drew a gun from his waist.
Lu Huai's movements were not hurried or slow, he casually aimed his gun at Dong Hongchang's head.
He put his hand on the gun and pulled it back.
There was only a click, and the bullet was loaded.
Dong Hongchang had nowhere to escape, still kneeling in front of Lu Huai.
He looks extremely embarrassed.
Lu Huai put his finger on the trigger, and his gaze fell on Dong Hongchang.
Dong Hongchang's heart tightened, cold sweat dripping from his back.
Lu Huai really wanted to kill him.
The next second, Lu Huai pulled the trigger.
The muzzle was up, and a shot was fired into the sky.
The bullet shot into the dark night.
Dong Hongchang loosened his body, and he dared not speak again after passing through the scene just now.
After Lu Huai fired a shot, he put the muzzle in Dong Hongchang's forehead again.
There was a shot just now, and the muzzle still carried residual heat.
But Dong Hongchang did not notice the warmth.
Lu Huai had just made some moves, it seemed that he was just playing with him.
Lu Huai's voice fell, mixed with the sound of rustling snow, cold and biting.
"This is the last time I let your life go."
…
In the afternoon of the next day, the heavy snow began to clear.
The warm sunshine shone on the thick snow on the ground.
The coldness of last night still did not dissipate, and there was a bitter chill in the air.
A group of police surrounded Dong Hongchang's residence.
They were dressed in black police uniforms with solemn expressions. They were from the Peking Police Station.
Dong Hongchang didn't know what had happened, but he was already vigilant.
"What are you doing here?"
The police officer in the lead spoke.
"Dong Hongchang, you are suspected of killing innocent people. The Dali Court will try this case publicly."
"This case will go to court soon."
"Prior to this, we will supervise your every move."
The Dali Court is the highest judicial organ of the Peking Government of the Republic of China.
Dong Hongchang was accused in the Dali Academy for disrupting public order in Shanghai and recklessly ignoring human life.
At this time, Dong Hongchang had already understood the meaning of Lu Huai's remarks last night.
Dong Hongchang's expression was ashen, Lu Huai must have done this.
But this was the trial of the Dali Court. Dong Hongchang couldn't refuse, he had to go.
Dong Hongchang's eyes were gloomy, falling on the snow outside the window.
Haven't left for a long time.
…
The trial of Dali Court will open in a few days.
Dong Hongchang was escorted to Dali Yuan by people from Peking Police Station.
This lawsuit involves several important senior government officials, who are strictly conservative to the outside world.
Dong Hongchang knew in his heart that even if Liao Zhongcheng had reached a cooperation with him, he would definitely not care about it again.
He must pass the trial safely before he can proceed to the next step.
The presiding judge announced: "Dong Hongchang is suspected of disrupting public security in Shanghai, and the court is now open."
"Bring the defendant to court."
The dark doors are open, symbolizing majesty and power.
The police walked in with Dong Hongchang.
Dong Hongchang glanced around, and he really saw Lu Huai and Ye Chu.
However, he did not see Mo Qinghan.
Dong Hongchang sneered in his heart.
Lu Huai will not have his evidence in their hands.
Dong Hongchang knew very well that all the evidence had been destroyed by him long ago.
The stand-ins for the witnesses Ji Manqing and Dai Shinan who were supposed to be present are also dead.
The only witness who is still alive will never attend.
Although Mo Qinghan wanted to kill himself, his own safety was implicated in this case.
If Mo Qinghan dared to come to Dali Academy, he would also be arrested and imprisoned.
Can't escape.
Dong Hongchang believes that Mo Qinghan will not be here.
His back was straight and he stood there.
Dong Hongchang could detect that someone behind him was watching him.
His eyes were cold, and he was sure in his heart that he would never let Lu Huai wish.
At this time, the presiding judge spoke again with a serious tone.
"Stained witnesses go to court."
Dong Hongchang was startled suddenly, and turned his head to look.
The open door was not closed yet, and the cold air passed by.
In the center of the empty gate, a person appeared.
He lowered his head and walked in.
It's like a cold night is approaching.
He walked quietly, as if he hadn't noticed Dong Hongchang at all.
The witness looked up.
His eyes met Dong Hongchang.
Sen was extremely cold, with deep hatred.
That is the person Dong Hongchang thinks will not be here.
Mo Qinghan.
