…elder brother. "

Xiao Feng obediently changed his address, shrank back half a step: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xie Chenzhou barely suppressed the bestial desire in his heart, licked his dry lips, and smiled: "Xiaofeng, my brother asks you, do you like foster father?"

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up instantly: "I like it! Daddy is very kind to Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng likes him the most!"

Xie Chenzhou chuckled lightly, and patted his little head: "Xiao Ziye is your father, not Shen Changhe. Your father was originally the master of the entire Southwest, but was kicked out by Shen Changhe - he is raising you now, you say What is it for?"

She casually drew the dagger on Xiao Feng's neck: "Guess... what will he do to you, a bastard?"

"...Daddy is not a villain! You are the villain!"

Xiao Feng couldn't understand what she said, but he was obviously frightened by her actions, a large crystal tear squeezed out from the corner of his eye, hanging on his long eyelashes, looking very pitiful.For some reason, Xie Chenzhou suddenly felt very relieved after seeing Xiao Feng like this - even though she didn't know the answer herself, she was very happy to be able to scare this little brat.

Triple-legged ([-])

In Xie Chenzhou's expectation, the "big gift" she gave to Chen Xining would soon bear fruit.However, the facts made her extremely disappointed: Chen Xining, a coward, did not dare to attack Shen Changhe immediately.

However, although there is not much action on the surface, the political situation in the southwest is undercurrents and dark clouds are overwhelming the city.Many officials who leaned towards the Southwestern military government were liquidated to varying degrees, and there was sudden panic and panic among the people.

Shen Changhe didn't have any intention of fighting back against these sneaky little moves of the reformation government.Chen Xining felt that his reaction was very unreasonable, but since his opponent kept silent, he naturally intensified his efforts. While ordering his special affairs agency to speed up the secret investigation of Shen Changhe himself, he secretly reached out to the Yunnan Army and started Buy off opportunists among senior officers.

At the same time, worrying news came out of the southwest military government: the general hadn't appeared in the meeting hall for half a month.Although Pei Xuan and Zhang Jianzhi took care of military and political affairs for him, the general's "disappearance" at this juncture will undoubtedly make the already anxious military government officials even more anxious.

"How is the general?" "I haven't woken up yet, wait a minute."

Bucket after bucket of lukewarm water was carried into the inner courtyard, and quickly brought out again; but when it went in, the water was clean, but when it came out, it was bloody.Sophia hastily replied and closed the door firmly, refusing to let anyone get closer. Then she lifted the curtain worriedly, leaned towards the forehead of the person on the bed, and frowned immediately.

It’s so cold!

Shen Changhe has been in a coma intermittently for more than ten days.As careful as Sophia, he quickly discovered some disturbing changes in his body: In the beginning, apart from fever and vomiting blood, his skin rapidly aged and shrank, and finally he became a "mummy".Not a day later, the "mummy" returned to its original appearance, except that the short hair grew unbelievably crazy overnight, sticking to his face wetly, and stretched out like seaweed.

Sophia could see that during the whole process, Shen Changhe was in extreme pain even when he was in a coma - from the beginning to the end, he was shaking and shivering all the time.When all the dust settled and he opened his eyes again, Sophia saw a rather terrifying scene:

His eyes have no whites, only a gloomy darkness!

Sophia cried out in surprise and took two steps back, but Shen Changhe didn't respond as if he didn't hear anything. He opened his eyes and "looked" at the ceiling for a while, then closed them again.Sophia bravely stepped forward and tried to wake him up, but he woke up first.

"How's it going outside?"

This time everything is back to normal.His voice was hoarse, so low that she could barely hear him.Sophia held his thin hand distressedly, and said in a rather weak voice, "General, don't think about these anymore, take a good rest..."

Seeing Sophia's reaction, Shen Changhe understood everything.Regardless of Sophia's strong opposition and begging, he resolutely dragged his sick body to convene a meeting of the military government cabinet within half a day.The content of the meeting is very simple:

"The current situation in Liangzhou, everyone must be very clear." As before, Shen Changhe still went straight to the point without any obscurity: "Chen Xining wants to use the opportunity of the foreign war to stir up internal strife, and has a huge impact on the Southwest's political and military affairs. Cleansing from two aspects, the ultimate goal is to merge the Southwest into the reform government. I don’t want innocent people to be involved in this brutal power reshuffle, so here I declare to everyone: no matter what the reform government does next, I will personally , you can all be on your own.”

What does this mean?All the officials talked about it.Shen Changhe smiled and said: "That is to say, even if the reform government is not good for me, you can still choose to stay and continue to be loyal to the new government*. As long as you are always loyal to the republic, use power carefully, and treat the people well, it doesn't matter who you serve as an official. the difference."

After saying this sentence, he paused, and said lightly: "That's it, the meeting is over."

After coaxing these civil officials away, Shen Changhe called Pei Xuan, Zhang Jianzhi and other confidants into the bedroom for a long time to talk in secret.Just as he finished "processing" here, the envoy from the presidential palace arrived again.

It's just that this time is different from the last time: not only messengers came, but also military police with live ammunition.The few remaining guards in the General's Mansion tried to resist, but Shen Changhe calmly stopped them.After briefly explaining various affairs in the government, he nodded slightly to the government envoy: "Okay, let's go."

"..." The envoy of the state government thought that his trip would be extremely difficult, but he never expected that Shen Changhe would not even struggle, as if he could not see the military police behind him, with the usual expression of "catch him without a fight".He was surprised, and Chen Xining was even more so; therefore, when he saw Shen Changhe himself, he didn't know how to say the opening line.

After hesitating for a while, he cast his gaze on Shen Changhe's face full of doubts, but what he thought in his heart was: How did this little fair face become beautiful again... No, why did his hair grow so long?

Then I remembered something serious: "General Shen, the President called you here today..."

He "come" for a long time and didn't "come" to explain why, because he realized that his tone was too weak-it's this time, why is he still called "General Shen"!In Chen Xining's imagination, this coup d'état that overthrew the entire Southwest and even the state of Qin should be vigorous. Why is it now as if it is a child's house with no passion?

After gathering his composure, Chen Xining coughed and said with a sneer, "Shen...Shen Changhe, are you convicted?"

"What crime do you want to accuse me of?"

Surrounded by the guards of the presidential palace and plainclothes military police, Shen Changhe, who was isolated and helpless, looked very calm at this moment.Chen Xining was choked speechless by his words, and Yuan Xiu, the Minister of the Military Police next to him, followed up in a cold voice: "General Shen, don't you know what you did yourself? So we thought you were flirting with the New Party. I didn't expect you to have joined the rebel party—this is openly opposing the government, and it is treason!"

He eloquently concluded the coffin, but Shen Changhe just looked at him quietly, with a half-smile: "It seems that Minister Yuan wants to do it for him, and the judge will be addicted to it later."

"General Shen doesn't need to tease Yuan, your case will definitely be decided by the National Court." Yuan Xiu squinted a pair of slender eyes: "The Gendarmerie Department has always treated a 'big man' like you with great care and attention."

Shen Changhe nodded in conviction: "Oh, what you mean is that the conclusion has already been decided, but you just need to go through the procedure?"

"..." Yuan Xiu pursed his lips, speechless for a moment.Chen Xining also regained his strength at this time, and said with a straight face: "Shen Changhe, if you are willing to admit that you have colluded with the rebel party and attempted to treason the country, I can promise you to keep some dignity."

Shen Changhe laughed and said, "What if you don't admit it?"

"Then you just toast and don't eat fine wine." Chen Xining glanced at him regretfully, and waved his hand casually: "Take it down!"

Triple-legged ([-])

"Miss, let's go quickly, don't hesitate any longer!"

In the general's mansion, the servants fled in all directions - most of the civil servants of the former Southwest Military Government had surrendered to the reform government, and the military generals also collectively "strategicly shifted" away from Liangzhou, the center of the storm and a place of right and wrong; today's Southwest Military Government, There is only such a lonely and empty general's mansion left.

Compared to the panicked servant, Xie Chenzhou was obviously much calmer.She sat calmly and silently in her bedroom, waiting until the maid who begged her to evacuate was forced to abandon her and run away, until the guards of the Presidential Palace completely took over the entire General's Palace, and until Yuan Xiu, Minister of the Military Police came to the door in person Come, and politely "take" her back to the presidential palace.

President Chen Xining treated her very politely.Facing this 19-year-old girl, he first praised her for "killing relatives with righteousness", and then made such a suggestion:

On the day of the public trial, she had to cooperate with the presidential palace to appear in court as a witness to identify Shen Changhe's "crime".

After some tedious bargaining, Xie Chenzhou made another request: "I want to see Shen Changhe."

"This is not allowed." Yuan Xiu refused politely: "Miss Xie, you should know that Shen Changhe is now a major suspect of treason, and no one will be allowed before the public trial begins."
