This year's Christmas Eve in the imperial capital of the other world was destined to be an extraordinary, restless, and even a little bloody night.
A Christmas dinner was being held at the house of General Jia, a high-ranking military general in the imperial capital.
They didn't have the tacit rule of not celebrating foreign holidays, so to everyone, this night was like New Year's Eve.
He raised his glass and said proudly to his relatives, friends, and guests, "This year, with everyone's help, we were able to go one step further! Drink this glass of wine, and we'll be on a new path next year! "
He was a general second only to He Chengjian in the imperial military, but He Chengjian had already arranged for his son, He Zhichu, to take over. His position was originally just that.
However, he was unconvinced, and he had been unconvinced for a long time.
However, his ability was limited, and he couldn't defeat He Chengjian. His family's background wasn't as powerful as the He family's.
The foundation laid by the first two generations of the He family was too strong.
Fortunately, He Chengjian's death wasn't glorious, so he took the opportunity to unite a group of people who were dissatisfied with the He family.
Of course, more importantly, he had the support of the American Soro consortium. Whether it was public opinion or private transactions, he was fully prepared.
"General Jia, you're right! It's fine if it's General He, but I'm not convinced by that brat, He Zhichu! Why should the highest position be given to him?! "
"What the f * ck! Ever since his father passed away, he said he was guarding the tomb. He's so hidden that he can't even be seen! "
"I heard that he and his fiancée are secretly plotting to escape abroad! Hmph! I, the supreme commander of the Huaxia Empire's military, actually want to escape abroad and seek refuge in the Soviet Union! "
"How embarrassing!"
In the spacious hall, Christmas jazz music was faintly discernible. There was also a female jazz musician on the stage, swaying her body and singing in a low voice.
Just as everyone was raising their glasses and vowing to "share weal and woe together", the living room door was kicked open with a bang.
A group of armed soldiers quickly took control of the front and back doors of the mansion.
The guards that were originally in the mansion were quickly disarmed and locked in a large warehouse that was used as a storage room.
"Which army are you from?! It's against the law to trespass! Do you know where this place is?! "
General Jia's personal secretary separated the crowd and walked over. He pointed at the leading soldier and reprimanded him rudely.
He Zhichu wore a black fox fur cloak and knee-high military boots. His hands were clasped behind his back as he strolled in.
Click, click, click.
The sound of military boots on the marble floor was neither too fast nor too slow, and everyone who heard it was alarmed.
He stood still at the entrance of the living room, his gaze disdainfully sweeping across everyone's dumbstruck faces. "Are you all already participating in this grand undertaking?"
He looked at his watch and said sarcastically, "Isn't it a little early? Isn't the day of your uprising set to be the first of January next year, the day of the New Year's Day? "
"You, you, you … what did you say?! What grand undertaking … What uprising? "
General Jia panicked.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the expressionless He Zhichu standing in front of him. It was as if he was seeing the ruthless and merciless He Chengjian …
His mind buzzed, and his hands started to tremble. "Young … Young Master He, is there a misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding? They don't exist. "He Zhichu waved his hand.
The huge TV screen hanging on the wall of General Jia's living room suddenly turned on.
The scene just now where they were so pleased with themselves and cursed He Zhichu and He Chengjian were all on display.
General Jia's expression changed again and again, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't bother to wipe it away and said fiercely, "You're monitoring me?! He Zhichu, this is against the law! "
"I have the authorization of the military court. General Jia, you have too close contact with foreign consortiums. I have to effectively monitor you."
He Zhichu put his hands behind his back and looked at the few blonde and blue-eyed foreign guests on the second floor.
"Nonsense! You arrested us because we complained about you just now! Major General He even has to care about everyone's complaints?! How majestic! "
"Are you trying to cover up the truth with one hand?!" General Jia roared fiercely.
He Zhichu raised his black leather gloved hand and covered his mouth with a chuckle. "Why would I arrest you just because you complained?"
"Although I, He Zhichu, don't agree with what you said, I swear to the death to support your right to speak."
General Jia raised an eyebrow.
He knew that He Zhichu wasn't as hardcore as He Chengjian. Moreover, he studied law and was deeply influenced by his mother, Qin Suwen, a lawyer. He relied on evidence for everything.
In front of so many people, he said that he wouldn't pursue what they said today, so he definitely wouldn't pursue it.
General Jia secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he looked down on He Zhichu and thought that he had no guts.
How could such a person be the supreme commander of the military?
Definitely not!
He was about to speak when He Zhichu took out a few more arrest warrants from the court and said calmly, "I'm here today to execute the arrest warrant from the military court."
As he spoke, his expression changed and he said coldly, "Since you're all together today, it saves me the trouble of arresting people one by one! Take them all away! "
He handed the arrest warrant to his subordinates and asked them to arrest them.
The living room was in chaos.
The women and children cried for their husbands and fathers, and the subordinates hurriedly covered up for their superiors.
Some people were calling the police, and a few older people even fainted.
He Zhichu was unmoved. He stood alone in the living room and watched as his guards controlled the various corridors and entrances.
"Cut the crap. If you have something to say, go to the military court. We're just carrying out orders." He Zhichu stepped to the side and watched as his guards arrested all the people on the arrest warrants.
Of course, General Jia was the leader, and the others also held high positions in the military.
It could be said that four out of seven of the people in the highest positions of the military were here.
"If you arrest us, the other two won't let you off!" General Jia shouted at the top of his lungs.
"You don't have to worry about it. My men have already gone to the other two families to arrest them." He Zhichu's eyes turned cold. "My father's corpse hasn't even gotten cold, and you're already colluding with foreign countries to plot a coup. How capable!"
"I didn't expect you to be so cunning!" General Jia glared at He Zhichu. "A few days ago, you closed the door and said you were going to guard your father's grave. It was all a lie!"
He Zhichu shrugged. "Why would I lie to you guys? You think too highly of yourself. "
"Are you really guarding the grave?!" General Jia's expression turned even uglier.
If He Zhichu was really guarding the grave, but he could investigate their situation so clearly. Could it be that there were other big shots supporting him from behind?
He Zhichu seemed to understand his thoughts and smiled slightly. The pink in his shimmering almond-shaped eyes became even more obvious, like coagulated blood.
He said casually, "Don't you know what multitask is? I'm guarding the grave and investigating your situation at the same time. I can't delay either of them. "
If he wanted to investigate these people, did he have to do it himself?
He could just strategize behind the scenes.
These old guys wanted to take his position, but they didn't expect that there were younger generals who wanted to take their positions …
This time, he was able to crush the remaining six people's plan to seize power in one fell swoop because of the support of the younger generation in the military.
These people were already old, and they were from his father's generation.
His father, He Chengjian, was no longer around, and it was time for these people to leave.
He Zhichu walked out of the hall of General Jia's house and came to the camphor tree at the door. He took out a cigar, lit it, and took a deep puff.
He looked up at the night sky and thought to himself, Nianzhi, it's Christmas Eve again. What are you doing?
