The Marshal of the Siheyuan is back! He starts by executing Jia Dongxu.

"Even if I'm shattered to pieces this time, I will defend Beijing to the death and not let a single soldier in!"

"You!!!" Lu Beichen angrily pointed at Xu Wenyi!

He was so angry his beard practically popped out!

He didn't understand.

The fact that the other party did not coerce them shows that they did not really want to be their enemy.

But now they refuse to obey orders and let the soldiers in.

What does this tell us?

This means he has connections!

Moreover, this person's rank is higher than his own!

And it was under a confidentiality agreement, otherwise Xu Wenyi would have told everyone.

So Du Beichen forcefully flung his hand away, frowning as he said:

"Tell me, what exactly do you want? You can't just surround Beijing for no reason."

Xu Wenyi only learned what had happened on the 49th floor shortly after he arrived there.

After hearing the whole story, he became even more convinced of his idea of ​​keeping all other military region soldiers outside the city!

Because he had long disliked these families!

Now that someone is stepping forward to deal with them, he's determined to join the group, given this rare opportunity!

But Brother Liu also instructed that his identity must not be revealed.

Because these families are extremely well hidden, he wanted to take this opportunity to see who was on the side of the eight great families, so as to clear away obstacles.

So after thinking for a moment, Xu Wenyi slowly spoke:

"I'm sorry, sir, I can't say."

Upon hearing this, Du Beichen was stunned.

"Can't say? What do you mean you can't say? If you can't say, how am I supposed to talk and negotiate with him?"

"Do you even realize how much social unrest this will cause?"

"This will plunge our entire nation into panic once again."

"Our people are already exhausted after so many years of war. Can't you please stop causing them more trouble?"

Xu Wenyi had considered this issue as well.

When he saw the fear and dread in the eyes of the people on the outskirts of the city, he felt a little guilty.

However, a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one!

If this time we can completely eradicate the Wang and Wu families and ensure the basic living standards of ordinary people, then it will all be worthwhile!

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

You can't have it all.

Moreover, the fact that the people are temporarily gripped by fear can remove obstacles, which is beneficial and harmless to the whole country.

So Xu Wenyi shook his head:

"Sir, do you know what these powerful families have been doing in our country?"

"I imagine you've heard about this position before."

"I know you've long disliked these eight families, why don't you come and work with us?"

Upon hearing this, Du Beichen thought Xu Wenyi had gone mad.

The higher one's position, the more one realizes how deeply entrenched and immense the power of the major families is, making it impossible to eliminate them simply by talking about it.

He paced back and forth before finally speaking:

"Xu Wenyi, do you even know how many departments our country has?"

"Do you even know how many members of the Eight Great Families are in these departments?"

"Our country is just getting started. If you eliminate them all now, how can our country continue to develop?"

"It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, isn't it a good cat?"

Xu Wenyi naturally knew this, but he continued to ask in return:

"But didn't our country survive even when things were much more difficult before?"

"Only by eliminating all these root causes can our country have a better future."

"Otherwise, no one can guarantee that our tree won't grow crooked."

Du Beichen sneered.

"Extreme! You're going too far!"

"Do you even know what the situation is like in our country right now?!"

"Above us is a massive war machine eyeing us covetously; to our right, there are the dying Japanese pirates; to our left, there are the arrogant and conceited Indians; and below us, there's that troublemaking monkey all the time. How can we withstand this kind of torment?"

"Besides, it's not that we don't want to remove them, but that we want to remove them slowly, carefully, and in an orderly manner."

Xu Wenyi naturally thought of this problem as well.

Is it a bit too hasty to deal with internal conflicts before the external dangers have been resolved?

But now is the best time; if we wait any longer, who knows what mistakes might happen!

"But since the Korean War, all countries have known our strength and will no longer easily take action."

"While we still have a deterrent effect on other countries, wouldn't it be best to eliminate them as soon as possible?"

Du Beichen stopped in his tracks after hearing this.

Seemingly surprised, when did Xu Wenyi become so intelligent?

Wasn't he always thinking about how to fight the war?

When did we come to understand even the diagnosis and treatment to this extent?

It seems that he was taught by the person behind him.

But this did not mean that Du Beichen would stop there; he continued to scrutinize Xu Wenyi:

"Then let me ask you, how do you know who the members of the eight great families are? And how can you be sure that innocent people won't be harmed?"

This is also what Du Beichen is most worried about.

"If these people don't reveal their identities, no one would ever guess that they are from the Eight Great Families."

"Among the senior executives and researchers, there are quite a few who, although surnamed Wang, are not members of the Wang family."

"If the sole purpose of eliminating the eight great families is to carry out the massacres based on the principle of 'better to kill ten thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free,' how many innocent people would be killed?"

"Not only that."

"Those high-ranking officials and researchers who were not arrested will also be disappointed with our country's decision."

"Because they are trying their best to contribute to the country, they may be arrested for no reason, or even falsely accused."

"Then they will live in constant fear."

"Will they still dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to the country?"

"If you do it this way, won't you end up losing more than you gain?"

This series of questions left Xu Wenyi somewhat bewildered. He hadn't thought about these things; he was only focused on eliminating the pests as soon as possible.

But he remembered Liu Jianjun saying that all he wanted to do was to uproot this scourge that was harming the country.

So after thinking for a while, he continued to explain:

"Sir, we don't need to go to that extent."

"We only need to eliminate those who are confirmed to be harming the country and society."

"As for those families who are kind-hearted and wholeheartedly dedicated to the country, we will educate them through thought and education, so that they can completely get rid of the concept of family and instead take the concept of the country as their focus."

"Tell them that serving the people wholeheartedly is our mission."

"Those so-called family values ​​are outdated."

"For example, regarding human trafficking in our country, why do you think there are still so many cases despite our country's crackdown on human traffickers for so many years?"

"It's because they have protectors above them, and these protectors are mostly members of their own families!"

"Take Wu Yueze, for example. Look how arrogant and domineering he is!"

"We must eradicate it as soon as possible so that ordinary people can live better lives!!!"
