Hou Liangping arrested a hawkish general, and his father-in-law panicked

"you."

He finally spoke, his voice hoarse, two pieces of metal rubbing against each other.

"Is it Hou Liangping?"

Then, he seemed to remember something, and the corners of his mouth curled up into an arc of extreme contempt.

"Jong Jung-guk's son-in-law?"

Chapter 106 Sending Hou Liangping to the Military Court

"boom!"

This sentence is more lethal than the national curse outside.

Hou Liangping's mind went blank in an instant.

He finally understood!

He understood it completely!

Treat him as an abandoned child and throw him out along with his father-in-law Zhong Zhengguo's reputation to quell this terrible disaster!

For a long time, the name of his father-in-law Zhong Zhengguo has been his strongest support and the greatest source of his confidence and pride.

He was used to the awe and envy in other people's eyes when they learned his identity.

But today, when this name came out of the mouth of the furious general in front of him, it was like a death warrant, a verdict that would nail him to the pillar of shame!

He wasn't asking questions, he was confirming the identity of a person who could be crushed to death at will!

"me……"

Hou Liangping's lips trembled and his face was as pale as gold paper.

At the same time, the lieutenant general with a stern face also walked in.

He ignored Hou Liangping who was on the verge of collapse, and instead turned his gaze to Ji Changming who was shaking like a sieve.

His footsteps were light, but they carried an invisible pressure that lowered the temperature in the entire interrogation room again.

"Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming?"

His voice was very flat, so flat that there was not a trace of emotion, but it made Ji Changming feel more terrified than having a gun pointed at his head.

Ji Changming struggled to stand up from the chair, but his legs wouldn't obey him. He could only support himself on the table, barely raising his head, and forcing out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Chief, Chief... misunderstanding, this is definitely a misunderstanding..."

The lieutenant general slowly walked up to him, stretched out his hand, and gently, with two fingers, picked up the interrogation record on the table that was written by Hou Liangping and still exuded the scent of ink.

He didn't read the content, but simply held the paper up to his eyes, examining a work of art.

Then, under Ji Changming's horrified gaze, he casually tore the record in half.

"Hiss—" The crisp tearing sound seemed particularly harsh in the silent interrogation room.

"Misunderstand?"

The lieutenant general threw the torn paper on the ground and his eyes finally fell on Ji Changming's face. There was no anger in his eyes, only an unfathomable coldness and disgust.

"To interrogate the Republic's active military commander as if he were a prisoner, is this also a misunderstanding?"

"In the Handong Provincial Procuratorate's territory, can you just fabricate a crime and arrest anyone you don't like?"

"Ji Changming, I want to ask you."

His voice suddenly rose a little, and each word was as sharp as a needle.

"Who gave you the power?!"

"Who gave you the power?!"

This question was like a huge rock, hitting Ji Changming and Hou Liangping's hearts.

that power?

Ji Changming's lips were trembling and he couldn't utter a word.

Power comes from the Party and the people?

Such words spoken in such circumstances would only appear more pale and ridiculous.

In the face of the absolute and ruthless military violence machine, all his authority as the provincial prosecutor was as fragile as the torn interrogation record.

He could feel that although the lieutenant general's gaze remained on him, the cold pressure had completely enveloped the entire interrogation room.

He wasn't questioning him, he was judging him.

Try the entire political and legal system of Handong Province!

Deputy Commander Zhou's thick fingers nearly stabbed Hou Liangping in the face, and spit splattered out: "Power? I think it's the courage of a lawless dog!"

"So what if he's Zhong Zhengguo's son-in-law?"

He roared, his voice piercing his eardrums. "I'm telling you, Zhong Zhengguo never dared to treat his fellow soldiers like this on the battlefield! You, Hou Liangping, who the hell do you think you are?!"

Hou Liangping's body trembled violently, and his soul was roared out of his body by the roar.

He's done.

This thought, like a bullet, pierced his head accurately.

It wasn't that he might be finished, or that he was in trouble, but that he was already, completely, finished.

At this moment, the lieutenant general, who had always maintained a cold attitude, slowly raised his hand.

An extremely simple action made the furious Deputy Commander Zhou shut up immediately.

The entire interrogation room instantly fell into a silence even more terrifying than before.

The lieutenant general did not look at Ji Changming, who was trembling. His gaze, like two sharp scalpels, passed over the crowd and landed accurately on Hou Liangping, who was already pale.

His voice was not loud, even calm, but it had an unmistakable metallic quality.

"Someone is coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly pushed open.

"Bang!"

Two soldiers wearing neat military uniforms, white gloves and pistols on their waists walked in.

They walked in unison, their leather boots making a heavy and rhythmic "thump thump" sound on the floor, stepping on everyone's heart.

They stood at attention, their eyes fixed straight ahead, like two emotionless statues, waiting for orders.

The air in the interrogation room was instantly sucked dry.

The lieutenant general nodded his chin in the direction of Hou Liangping, his tone as contemptuous as if he was ordering a servant to deal with a piece of garbage.

"This guy, Hou Liangping, cuff him."

He paused, and a bone-chilling chill flashed across his deep eyes, making every word pierce Hou Liangping's bones like an icicle.

"Immediately arrest him on multiple charges of obstructing military duties, illegal detention, and torture of an active-duty military commander."

He turned his head and ordered one of the soldiers, "No need to go through any local procedures. Take him directly to the military court to await trial!"

"Boom——" The four words "Military Court" exploded in Hou Liangping's mind like a black lightning, shattering his last bit of consciousness and luck.

The willpower he was proud of, the justice he firmly believed in, all his ideals and ambitions, at this moment, became a joke.

His legs could no longer support the weight of his body. His knees gave way and he slid off the chair with a thump and collapsed to the ground.

A warm, uncontrollable current suddenly surged out from his lower body, quickly soaking his trousers and spreading a small dark water stain on the dark gray floor tiles.

A pungent, foul smell instantly filled the airtight interrogation room.

He peed.

This once high-spirited and arrogant director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau's Investigation Department lost control of even the most basic physiological functions in the face of absolute fear.

Shame, fear, despair...

Countless emotions gnawed at his nerves like venomous snakes.

He wanted to scream, but all he could come out of his throat was "Ho...Ho..."

It was like the sound of an old bellows pumping air.

The two soldiers did not hesitate at all, nor did they show any abnormality because of the scene before them.

They took a step forward, and one of them pulled the limp Hou Liangping up from the ground like a chicken.

The other man took out a pair of steel handcuffs that gleamed with a cold silver light, and with a crisp and decisive "click", locked his wrists tightly.

The coldness of the handcuffs made him shiver all over, and also brought back a bit of crazy desire to survive from the extreme fear.

He is dying!

Once he is brought to the military court, not to mention the torture of the commander, the charge of illegal detention alone is enough to keep him in prison for life!

What's more, he just...

return……

He didn't dare to think about it!

Just as he was being dragged, his feet leaving two weak marks on the ground, and was about to be dragged out of the room that would decide his fate, his eyes passed through those towering figures like mountains and saw the man who had been sitting there from beginning to end.

Zhao Yuanchao!

The man who was interrogated by him for a whole day, humiliated by him with words, and treated as a prisoner by him!

At this moment, he is his only lifeline!

"Commander Zhao!"

A shrill, distorted cry was torn from Hou Liangping's throat.

He struggled with all his strength, twisting his body like a dying fish nailed to a chopping board.

"Commander Zhao! Please plead for me! Commander Zhao!"

His face was covered with tears and dust, and he looked in a miserable state.

He no longer had any of the demeanor of a prosecutor, and was left with only the most primitive and humble begging.
