People who drink alcohol easily get drunk. After picking up a glass and drinking a few glasses of liquid that was extremely close to alcohol, Li Xiao immediately fell on the bed, spitting vomit from his mouth like a whale.

Looking at Li Xiao, Ao Canghai let out a long sigh. He knew that although Li Hu caused the most troubles and was simple-minded and couldn't do anything, this younger brother was actually the one whom Li Xiao valued the most.

I have experienced the gunfire and bullets in the northwest, but I didn't expect that I would die here today.

After sitting blankly for a long time, he personally took the honey water and poured it into Li Xiao's mouth.

Luzhu didn't know when he stood behind Ao Canghai, and curled up his lips helplessly. This is a man who doesn't know how to serve others. The way he poured honey water on Li Xiao looked like he was being tortured.

Taking the bowl from Master Ao, Luzhu took on Master Ao's task. At least, she wouldn't get the honey water all over Li Xiao's face.

Mr. Ao looked at Lu Zhu, and then at Li Xiao whose face was covered with honey water. He felt a little embarrassed. He stood up and made room for Lu Zhu.

"Is there any preliminary suspect?" Mr. Ao was at a loss for words and tried to cover up his embarrassment.

"Yes!" Luzhu nodded.

Mr. Ao's eyes were as big as eggs. It had only been more than an hour, but he already had the initial suspect. It seemed that this bitch, Lv Zhu, was very powerful. No wonder Li Xiao always said, this

Girls are the eagles of the empire.

"Who?" Mr. Ao decided that no matter who Luzhu said, that person would be dead.

"You!" Lu Zhufeng said one word calmly, and Master Ao almost choked to death.

"Me? I...!" Master Ao really wanted to strangle this bitch to death right now.

"The commander-in-chief of the garrison was recommended by you, and your subordinates are all over the large and small departments in Liaodong. It can be said that 30% of the officials in Liaodong are soldiers you have served, or are soldiers of the soldiers you led. You have someone

Guns, and money!

Similarly, you are the one who has been hit hardest by the anti-corruption campaign. This further proves that you have the motivation to do this." Luzhu fed Li Xiao some honey water and spoke calmly.

"Hmph! Then you feed him honey water, and you're not afraid that I'll poison it." Ao Canghai snorted heavily from his nose.

"When you tested the water temperature just now, you also tasted it yourself. I don't think you want to die with the commander."

"...!" Ao Canghai once again confirmed that he would never be a woman's opponent in using his words.

"Commander Hou committed suicide. The military affairs section chief was so frightened that he peed his pants after I asked him a few questions. Mr. Ao, how did you lead the soldiers? Can someone like this be promoted to an officer?"

"Hmph! In the Battle of Dalinghe, the entire division suffered more than 70% casualties. Anyone who could stand was damned. The guy who peed his pants because of you, killed three Tatars with his own hands back then.

Zibing, that is a real military achievement." Ao Canghai sneered at Lu Zhu's words.

"How can such a warrior wet his pants?"

"As you live a wealthy life for a long time, your courage will naturally be exhausted. People who are almost forty years old look like they are more than fifty years old. Sometimes I can hardly recognize them. They are full of spleen and have big heads and round bellies.

Man, I was the one who led the troops back then. It’s only been a few years!”

Mr. Ao was also speechless. Many of the people investigated during this period were his subordinates. The warriors who faced the enemy's bullets and bullets on the battlefield without changing their expressions now seem to be a different person now.

The hand that once held a gun now prefers to touch women's buttocks. The hand that once regarded weapons as life, now prefers money.

Wealthy people have been living for too long, and the warriors of the past are no longer fierce. But this is easy to understand. When you were a soldier, you carried your head on two shoulders, and you would die if you didn't fight for your life. But now, every high-ranking official, noble wife, beautiful concubine, and countless money

.The more you have, the more worries you will have.

If we let them charge into battle now, it is estimated that more than half of them would escape before the battle.

"You go ahead and investigate, and whoever you find will tell me, and I will do it myself. I will resign when I return to the capital. It is my fault that I did not lead the troops well. It is all my fault!" Master Ao sighed. In recent years,

All the sighs I had never sighed are now gone.

"I am not a soldier, nor am I a commander. You have to discuss this kind of matter with the commander! But this matter is likely to involve many people.

If nothing else, the origin of the bomb alone is very suspicious."

"There are more than a dozen arsenals near Jinzhou. Making a bomb is nothing new!"

"You are also an old expert in the military. Look at the building opposite. How powerful can an ordinary fifty kilogram bomb be like this?" Luzhu pointed to the building facing him, where a group of soldiers were cleaning up the debris after the explosion.

on site.

"You mean...the latest type of aerial bomb?" Ao Canghai suddenly became interested.

The carrying capacity of airships is limited, so the aerial bombs developed use the latest explosives, which have extremely powerful explosive power.

The building opposite had a floor cut off, and there was almost no complete glass in the nearby buildings. A 50-kilogram bomb with such power must be an aerial bomb.

"There is only one manufacturer of this kind of aerial bomb near Jinzhou, and it's still deep in the mountains. Anyone who can make something like that is definitely not an ordinary little guy.

I think their first plan was to transport the bomb into the building. They didn't have to put the bomb in the office. As long as the building collapsed, the commander would be dead.

However, something must have gone wrong here. Otherwise, this is the best way to assassinate the commander, instead of hiding in the opposite building and shooting."

"Well! If you say so, I also think it's best to use a bomb. This is still fifty kilograms. If we can get a hundred kilograms, it will be safer." Ao Canghai agreed with Lu Zhu's words.

"It's a pity that Commander Hou committed suicide. He should be a key figure."

"Over there at the bomb factory...!"

"We have sent people there, and their factory director is also an old subordinate of yours."

"...!" Ao Canghai was speechless. At first, Li Xiao wanted to transfer a large number of officers from the First Division to places like Liaodong, Hebei, and Shandong. The purpose was to strengthen local power, but he did not expect that there would be such sequelae.

"Did you know that the officers of your first division formed a comrades-in-arms organization?" Lu Zhu's words made Ao Canghai feel uneasy.

"I heard that they asked me to be the president, but I didn't do it! It's just a fraternity of comrades in arms, so don't be so nervous."

"The Comrades Association is actually an organization of retired comrades from the First Division. They meet regularly to communicate with each other. And most of them help each other in government affairs.

Moreover, they also consciously formed alliances and marriages. Some were marriages, some were sworn vows, and some simply, you arranged for my nephew, and I will arrange for your nephew.

In Liaodong, their energy is staggering. Many officials, if they do not please the comrades-in-arms association, will not only have no hope of promotion, but will also be put in the shoes. In other words, who will arrange the appointment of government personnel in Liaodong...! I don’t need to say more.

Come on!" Luzhu's words shocked Ao Canghai, he didn't expect things to develop to this point.

"Have their power grown so great?" Ao Canghai's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

"It's bigger than you think. Today, they have even controlled the economic lifeline of the entire Liaodong. Domestic and foreign merchants would not be able to survive in Liaodong without their approval. Tell me, such a person

Organization, can we still call it a small fight?"

Lu Zhu's words sent shivers down Ao Canghai's spine. Could it be that these guys have already expanded to this point?

"The Comrades are already a hidden force, and anti-corruption is their natural enemy. In this case, there is no guarantee that they will take risks. Of course, I am only talking about possibilities. If they really do it, there will definitely be clues left.

.”

"Hmph! This empire was brought down by Brother Xiao and us together. If someone wants to destroy this empire, I don't mind cutting off his head myself." Ao Canghai let out a heavy "hum" from his nose.

Luzhu didn't answer, but silently fed Li Xiao honey water. For people who drink too much, drinking a little of this stuff will always be beneficial.

Although Lu Zhu didn't say anything, Ao Canghai also knew that this knot had been planted in Lu Zhu's heart. As long as this knot was planted, Lu Zhu would definitely look for evidence.

This is not a matter for one or two people, but involves hundreds of officials. If Li Xiao had not been assassinated, no one would be able to make such a big determination to do it.

After all, this is an opportunity to offend many, many people. As long as their IQ is still online, no one will dare to do this.

Under the influence of alcohol, Li Xiao fell into a coma all night. He vomited several times, but it was nothing serious. For a person who has suffered severe mental trauma, getting drunk is a good idea.

When Li Xiao woke up the next morning, he felt a strange taste in his mouth and there were people standing in front of his bed. It was as if everyone was going to perform a ritual to wait for Li Xiao to wake up.

"How long have I been sleeping!" Li Xiao rubbed his face. He seemed to have something on his face and it felt tight.

"One day and one night!" Shunzi's eyes were red, like a rabbit.

"How is Huzi?" Li Xiao's voice was low and hoarse.

"Master Hu's body has been buried. The fourth master can come over this evening. The second master sent a telegram saying that he is on the way and he doesn't know where he is. My aunt will also arrive tonight.

Madam, please ask the commander to tell you whether the young master is coming too." Shunzi quickly brought over a large stack of telegrams and explained them to Li Xiao one by one.

"Of course he's coming. It was his third uncle who died." Li Xiao was a little annoyed. Do you still need to ask for instructions on this kind of thing? The tiger's son is gone. As his nephew, Li Lin must wear sackcloth and wear filial piety to watch over Li Hu's funeral.

"No!" Shunzi responded and hurriedly knelt down to put on Li Xiao's shoes. Hearing that Li Xiao's tone had returned to its previous domineering tone, Shunzi's heart finally dropped.

"Have you found out who did it?" Li Xiao stood up after putting on his shoes and buttoned up his military uniform and asked.

"Luzhu is investigating and has arrested many people. Including... including several soldiers from our guard camp!" Shunzi spoke in a low voice, but there was also a bit of anger. After all, the soldiers from the guard camp were taken the lead, and he

There is no shame on the face either.

Li Xiao ignored Shunzi's resentment, but he was still a little surprised when he heard that a few soldiers from the guard camp were caught. "Prepare some breakfast, millet porridge and steamed buns, plus some pickles. Hurry up, I'm hungry.

tight."

Shunzi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Li Xiao would actually order to eat at this time.

"No!" I vomited after drinking. I didn't eat anything all day and night. It's normal to be hungry.

Naturally, Li Xiao did not chase Shunzi and arrest the soldiers from the guard camp. Luzhu's arrest of people, especially those from the guard camp, must be targeted. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain to Li Xiao.

If the commander wants to eat, the cook who is always on call will naturally do his best.

In a short time, steaming steamed steamed dumplings, hot rice porridge, and four small pickles were delivered to the room. This is Li Xiao's usual eating habit, and the cook is already very familiar with it.

After eating two cages of xiaolongbao in a row, Li Xiao felt that he could kill a tiger.

"Let's go and see Hu Zi." After eating, Li Xiao ordered, and Shunzi hurriedly found someone to lead the way to see Li Hu's mourning hall.

The mourning hall is located in a large conference room, with a portrait of Li Hu hanging in the middle and surrounded by white and yellow chrysanthemums.
