"Hey, this matter is getting more troublesome day by day," Cao Jiyu sighed.

This matter originally had nothing to do with him. If the person in custody was not Zhao Zhiguo, he would not have intervened.

"Why did you lie to us and say that our regiment leader went out with the troops to perform a mission?"

At this time, Gao Cang didn't care whether Cao Jiyu was a commander or not. He just wanted to know where Zhao Zhiguo was and why Cao Jiyu lied to them.

"This is all for your own good. I am afraid that you will be impulsive. And the girl you brought here is named Sun Siying. If she knows what Zhao Zhiguo's fate is now, can you be sure that she will not seek death or life?"

Cao Jiyu rendered Gao Cang and others speechless with just two words.

"I did lie to you. Your regiment commander is now being held in the basement of the Commander-in-Chief's headquarters. I visited him the night you came back. It was your regiment commander who gave me the death order not to tell you and to put you two away.

Keep it private so as not to get involved."

"We'll get caught too?"

Tian Kezhi was also stunned. They never thought that the military police would arrest them.

"The notice at that time was that your regiment, officers above the company level, including the company level, would be subject to review. If you two hadn't been in Yuanhua County at that time, I'm afraid you two would have been imprisoned now."

Gao Cang finally understood why these platoon leaders were fine.

"Then... what's the reason? Are we treasonous or collaborating with bandits?"

Gao Cang lost his temper and became more and more worried.

"Did Commander Xu die in your hands?"

"Captain Xu, he deserved his death. More than sixty of our brothers died at his hands. I didn't cut him into pieces, so I already took advantage of him."

When Captain Xu was mentioned, Gao Cang stood up excitedly. He now wanted to dig out Captain Xu and beat him with a whip.

"You had no evidence that he had defected to the Japanese army, so you killed him."

"But...but he ordered our soldiers to be killed!" Gao Cang said.

"I know it's hard for you. If it were me, I would have done the same thing at that time, but in the eyes of the military police, this is not a reason, you know? The military police will think that he has committed a crime, and it is not a reason for you to commit a crime.

Otherwise, what do they need the military police to do?"

The reason is simple. Zhao Zhiguo has no law enforcement power. If they can produce evidence of treason delivered by Commander Xu, Zhao Zhiguo should be rewarded for killing the traitor during this special period.

But they had no evidence that Commander Xu had surrendered to the enemy, only evidence of murder.

Zhao Zhiguo had the responsibility to apprehend Captain Xu and hand him over to the military police for disposal, but Zhao Zhiguo did not have the power to directly shoot Captain Xu.

If everyone had the power to enforce the law, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Just like everyone could kill someone, what else would a judge do?

After hearing Cao Jiyu's explanation, they all thought it was reasonable, but this reasonableness was difficult for Gao Cang and others to accept.

I remember that Gao Cang kept pacing back and forth in place. Under the circumstances at that time, anyone would have killed Captain Xu.

Tian Kezhi was very calm at this time: "Then who can prove that our captain killed Captain Xu?"

Tian Kezhi clearly remembered that when they killed Commander Xu and his soldiers, they did not miss anything, and the brothers in their regiment also trusted them and would never mention this matter.

"When I went to visit your regiment leader, your regiment leader mentioned a person, the Central Military Investigation Team, Niu Feiyuan!"

"Fuck his uncle, I'll kill him!"

When Gao Cang heard about Niu Feiyuan, he could no longer suppress his temper.

None of them expected that Niu Feiyuan was still alive and reached Bingzhou safely.

"Lao Gao, calm down. Now is the time to find a way to save our leader, not to make enemies!"

Tian Kezhi's military career is indeed not as good as Gao Cang's, but his years of study and military experience have taught him to think of solutions beforehand rather than getting angry.

"You and Zhao Zhiguo are life and death brothers. My relationship with Zhao Zhiguo is no worse than yours. Otherwise, when he was trapped in Pingcheng Prison, I wouldn't have asked someone to find connections to save him."

When Zhao Zhiguo was imprisoned in Pingcheng Prison, Cao Jiyu was constantly looking for people and running around.

"Captain Cao, since you are related, please save our commander again!"

As if he had grasped a life-saving straw, Gao Cang knelt down in front of Cao Jiyu and kept kowtowing.

Cao Jiyu quickly grabbed Gao Cang's arm and stopped him: "I said, Zhao Zhiguo is also my brother. You want to save him, but I want to save him even more! I have gone to the commander-in-chief several times."

Cao Jiyu shook his head helplessly. It wasn't that he didn't think of a way, but that the evidence was solid this time.

A regiment commander shot and killed another regiment commander and his soldiers. This was not a small matter. Even Cao Jiyu, a newly popular figure around the commander-in-chief, could not influence this kind of thing.

When Gao Cang heard that Cao Jiyu had no choice, his whole soul seemed to have been pulled away.

At this time, there was only one thing left in Gao Cang's mind: Zhao Zhiguo was going to be shot, and there would be no one to lead these brothers into battle.

"Sir Cao, do you know where Niu Feiyuan is?" Tian Kezhi asked.

"I don't know. Even if I know, I would like to advise you not to be impulsive. He belongs to the Central Army. If you attack them, it will cause a conflict between the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army. Currently, the Central Army is helping us in Shanxi.

The Sui army resisted the attacking Japanese army."

Tian Kezhi lowered his head slowly, Niu Feiyuan was the key to this matter.

In today's general environment, even if there is a conflict between the Central Army and the Jinsui Army, the Jinsui Army must swallow their anger.

"I have helped with things that I should have done, and I have helped with things that I shouldn't have done. Now that the matter has been made clear, as the brother of your regiment leader, I still advise you two, it is best to stay under my command.

Ministry, don’t leave even a step, once your presence is known to the military police, you will be detained at any time.”

After saying this, Cao Jiyu stood up, leaving Zhao Zhiguo and his regiment's officers in a daze.

"What the hell are you doing? If you haven't come out to work, the little devils are beating you at the door."

Cao Jiyu roared, and his voice echoed in the villa.

Hearing Cao Jiyu's roar, Cao Jiyu's regimental staff walked out of the room one after another and started busy with their own affairs.

Tian Kezhi stood up with difficulty and asked the other officers to support Gao Cang.

"Let's go to the room upstairs and there will definitely be a way."

There are always more solutions than difficulties. Tian Kezhi did not believe that an outstanding officer like Zhao Zhiguo would be buried with a trash officer who shot his own people.
