Yuan Ye heard this and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

This guy wants to be a good guy, and he also wants to take the blame. It’s a nice thought!

We must not let him succeed. I had this idea originally. If it really doesn't work, I will release those people and take the opportunity to extort money from them. But now Zhang Chengxian said that these people cannot be released and must be killed.

It is necessary to give Zhang Chengxian a clear understanding, let him know how powerful he is, and let him not dare to be so arrogant in the future.

However, to do this, we need to find a way to convince Su Xiwu to agree. Now Su Xiwu may have been tempted and is planning to let these people go.

Yuan Ye guessed correctly. After listening to Zhang Chengxian's words, Su Xiwu was inclined to release the person.

However, he did not express his opinion immediately. He decided to wait for Yuan Shikai to come and see what Yuan Shikai would say. He estimated that Yuan Shikai would also agree to do so.

At this time, he heard a knock on the door, and then Yuan Shikai pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he saw Yuan Shikai, he felt much more at ease. In his eyes, Yuan Shikai was indeed much more important than Zhang Chengxian.

It's no wonder. If it weren't for Yuan Shikai, he wouldn't be sitting in the mayor's office now.

Of course, what is more important is that this student of mine has a meticulous mind and is very opinionated, which is incomparable to others. He also has a very good relationship with the Japanese, which is exactly where I need to rely on him.

He smiled and pulled Yuan Shikai to sit on the sofa. This cordial gesture made Zhang Chengxian feel a little uncomfortable. He had never enjoyed such treatment before, and he couldn't help but hate Yuan Shikai in his heart.

He didn't dare show it on his face, so he could only sit aside and force a smile.

Su Xiwu explained the situation to Yuan Ye and finally said:

"I'm considering releasing these people, but I want to hear your opinion."

When Zhang Chengxian heard that Su Xiwu was going to release the person, he couldn't help feeling complacent. The mayor still listened to his words. Now that the mayor has agreed, what else can you, Yuan Shikai, say? You have to agree obediently!

Yuan Ye pretended to think, then said solemnly:

"Teacher, I understand your consideration, but I think you don't have to take into account the feelings of these people who are trying to intercede for you. They dare not do anything to you. You have General Yingzuo as your backer, so what is there to be afraid of?

Have you ever considered that if you do not punish these people and show weakness, your enemies will become more unscrupulous and will try to harm you again in the future?

Although their conspiracy was thwarted this time, who can guarantee that they will not succeed next time?

Therefore, this time we must root out the evil completely and deter anyone who dares to commit any wrongdoing. This will also establish your image as a strong man. Everyone will be in awe of you, and your future administration will be smoother.

Otherwise you will lose your prestige, people will think you are weak and can be bullied, and your administration will inevitably encounter many obstacles.

And I will tell General Yingzawa about this matter, and General Yingzawa will definitely agree to do this.

You were helped by General Yingzuo. If these people oppose you, they are actually opposing General Yingzuo. General Yingzuo will support you, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

Su Xiwu thought for a while and felt that what Yuan Shikai said was right. With the support of General Yingzuo, what did he have to be afraid of?

If he didn't take tough measures, others would really think he was weak and could be bullied.

In every dynasty, the crime of treason is considered a heinous crime. Losing one's head is the least of the punishment. One may even have to execute all nine generations of the clan. Which ruler would forgive it?

He nodded and said:

"Shi Kai, I agree with you. Don't keep any of these people alive. Get rid of them all."

"Okay, to prevent any further complications, I suggest that it is best to execute these prisoners as soon as possible."

Yuan Ye was also afraid that if time went on for too long, complications would arise and Su Xiwu would go back on his word, and then his plan to eliminate these traitors would fail.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want!"

Su Xiwu said firmly.

Zhang Chengxian was shocked. He didn't expect that Su Xiwu would be persuaded by Yuan Shikai so quickly. Yuan Shikai was eloquent and good at bewitching people. All his previous efforts were in vain.

Of course he was unwilling to accept this, and he quickly said:

"Mayor, you should reconsider this. Although Director Yuan's words make some sense, aren't you afraid of being known as a cold-blooded person?

I'm afraid that if you make too many enemies, the future situation will be extremely unfavorable, so you should think twice before you act!"

Yuan Ye said coldly:

"Section Chief Zhang, you are a man of insight. Don't you know that political struggle is a life-and-death struggle? If you are soft-hearted and let the enemy go, sooner or later you will be retaliated. Is this what you want to see?

Can you bear the consequences?

Even if you can bear it, the consequences are irreversible. "

Zhang Chengxian was speechless for a moment. What Yuan Shikai said made sense. If this situation really happened, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Su Xiwu waved his hand and said:

"Okay, no more talking, it's decided!"

He felt that although Zhang Chengxian was older than Yuan Shikai and had received foreign education, he was indeed not as knowledgeable as Yuan Shikai and really needed to learn more from Yuan Shikai.

His old friend placed him by his side and asked him to train him well. He also cultivated him very carefully, and he has been with him for quite some time. He originally thought that he was ready and growing very fast, but now he compares that he is still lacking some skills and needs further training.

But deep down, he knows Zhang Chengxian inside and out and feels more at ease with him. He has always treated him as his son or nephew and is closer to him.

Although Yuan Shikai was more capable, after all, they had only known each other for a short time and he trusted him very much, but he always felt that he did not know this student well enough, and there seemed to be something about him that he could not understand.

Because the talent displayed by this young man exceeded his imagination as a normal person.

He also noticed that Zhang Chengxian was dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai, which made him a little worried. He had to find a time to warn him not to act on impulse and to put the overall situation first.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Su Xiwu agreed to execute these traitors and also dampened Zhang Chengxian's enthusiasm, Yuan Ye breathed a sigh of relief, so he stood up and said goodbye and left Su Xiwu's office.

When we walked into the corridor, we heard Su Xiwu say to Zhang Chengxian earnestly:

"Cheng Xian, you have been with me for quite some time. I know you very well. You are very good, but you are also a little arrogant. I hope you can put aside your prejudice against Shi Kai and be more humble.

Shi Kai is a very capable person, but he is also very humble in his dealings with others. This is why he is very popular, and even the Japanese appreciate him very much.

You should learn from him in this regard. You are also a very smart person. Your future is limitless. I am very optimistic about you."

"I understand. I will definitely not let you down."

Zhang Chengxian said softly.
