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

On the street!

The people watched as tanks drove past them!

People were terrified and filled with fear!

"What...what are they trying to do?!"

"Wow! This is even more extravagant than yesterday's!!!"

Xiao Zhuang reacted very quickly, immediately grabbing the little girl's hand and running towards his home!

Even the slow-reacting old men ran home in a panic!

The entire street was left with only fearless scoundrels watching from the sidelines!

......

the other side.

Sijiu City Public Security Bureau.

Director Lin Jiansheng was reviewing the cases from yesterday's public trial.

Generally, public trials or even executions by firing squad are reported to the police, but this time they were not.

This greatly shocked him, the director of the municipal bureau.

The municipal police bureau in Beijing is equivalent to a provincial department head in other provinces. In other words, all the public security officers in Beijing are under his command.

Therefore, it's impossible for him to only find out about this public trial at the very end.

He even doubted whether the document was fake, or... whether he had been abandoned by his superiors?

The very next second that he began to question the meaning of life.

"Beep~~~ Ugh—!!!"

The highest level alarm went off!

Upon hearing the alarm, Lin Jiansheng was completely stunned.

Why did a level one alarm suddenly go off?

Has no one from above reported this matter?

Did I forget about it again?

Lin Jiansheng, at a loss, immediately called his superior.

"Feed?"

"Huh?...You don't know what happened either???"

"this....."

"Alright, I'll play it by ear..."

"Click"

Lin Jiansheng did not take immediate action after hanging up the phone, because his head was buzzing!

???

What's going on?

Even the higher-ups don't know what happened?

Was there an emergency at the military region, so they didn't have time to notify the public security department?

Or did you accidentally press the alarm?

Lin Jiansheng didn't know which situation it was, but all he could do now was to quell the social unrest as soon as possible.

"Little Huang! Get the car ready right now!!!"

"Also! Gather personnel to safely escort the people home!"

"Remember! Prevent stampedes!"

"yes!!!"

"Wait!"

Just as Lin Jiansheng was about to leave, he remembered the documents from the public trial he had just seen.

The document there details how Xia Duanfeng led over a thousand soldiers to the public trial yesterday, but nothing came of it afterwards.

Could it be that the current Level 1 alert is also related to him?

Thinking of this, Lin Jiansheng immediately ran to the table and dialed the number again.

The call was connected.

"Feed?"

"Where is Commander Xia?"

"What? Summon everyone to the Wang family's residence?"

"Is this an order from the Military Commission?"

"You don't know? You're just following orders?"

"Okay...I understand..."

"Click"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiansheng was stunned once again!

What on earth is all this??

Does this mean the government is planning to take action against these eight powerful families?

As the director of the municipal bureau, he naturally knew that the intricacies involved were extremely complex.

......

the other side.

In the military jeep, Xia Duanfeng was explaining the past of these eight families to Liu Jianjun.

"Brother Liu, you come from a farming background and grew up on the front lines, so it's normal that you don't know these things."

"Our country has actually had many families throughout history."

"Although some families may have disappeared completely over this long period of time."

"But most of them survived by using all sorts of insidious methods."

"These families rise and fall. Normally, if a family prospers in one dynasty, it will endure hardship and bide its time in the next dynasty, trying its best to keep the family alive and waiting for the right opportunity to make a comeback."

"These eight families rose to prominence during the resistance against the Japanese invaders."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianjun frowned.

"Profiting from war?"

Although Liu Jianjun was an ordinary person in his previous life, he knew that the United States made a fortune from the two wars and became the world's number one superpower in just a few decades.

Xia Duanfeng shook his head with a wry smile:

"If that were all, we would have wiped them out long ago."

"The fact that they have survived from ancient times to the present day naturally suggests that they have some family precepts."

"For example, this war against the Japanese invaders."

"They not only contributed money, but also effort, and even manpower."

Liu Jianjun: "Send people?"

Xia Duanfeng: "That's right."

"They first lent all the money to the army under the guise of a loan."

"They also helped manufacture guns, bullets, and other military equipment."

"In the end, they even sent members of their own families into the army, allowing these family members to climb the ranks step by step."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianjun sensed that something was amiss:

"They did these things for the country, which shows they were a relatively upright family. Why have they become like this now?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Duanfeng countered with, "Upright?"

"What if I said they were investing in two... no... multiple investments...?"

"What do you mean?"

Xia Duanfeng sighed deeply.

"During their fight against the Japanese, they would also send members of their families abroad to study."

"But when the people finally return, they will scatter and go to seek refuge with various parties."

"Let them kill each other!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianjun immediately understood.

These families will stop at nothing to survive!

Liu Jianjun concluded: "Therefore, no matter which side wins in the end, they can survive by relying on the victor."

"Even because they have their own people in the military and research institutions... they are able to maintain high positions within them."

Xia Duanfeng nodded.

"That's right. Relying on their previous investments, they quickly established a foothold after the founding of the People's Republic of China."

"And the Wang family is one of them."

"Furthermore, after the founding of the nation, a large number of high- and middle-level personnel were needed to manage society and the people."

"But we farmers are illiterate, we lack the knowledge and courage, so how could we possibly manage society?"

"Therefore, most of these management positions fall into the hands of those with education."

"Those who are learned either received investment from the eight great families, or they originally came from the landlord class, bureaucratic class, or bourgeoisie."

"Too few farmers have managed to improve their lives through education."

"So... as long as it doesn't cross any lines, they'll still look out for each other."

Liu Jianjun frowned: "Officials protecting each other?"

Xia Duanfeng pursed his lips slightly. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was the truth.

"That's right. There are quite a few people in the officialdom now who are from the eight great families, and some of them have even made significant contributions to the country."

"Moreover... these eight families are keeping a low profile these days, but of course, this low profile is in comparison to the past."

"They will hide their identities so that no one else knows they exist."

"Therefore, ordinary people rarely know about their background."

"For example, the Wang family. There are so many people with the surname Wang in our country, you have no idea who is a member of the Wang family."

"You'll only find out when someone from the royal family summons them, 'Oh? So he's from the royal family.'"

"Not to mention those who don't have the surname Wang..."

Liu Jianjun felt increasingly distressed as he listened. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person and had no access to such things.

Hearing this now, he felt that his values ​​were somewhat shaken.

No wonder some people say that the poor can't even imagine how the rich live.

The lower classes have no idea how high the minds and intelligence of the upper classes really are.

These families actually disguised themselves as peasants or workers, and dispersed throughout various departments of the country.

If ordinary people come into contact with them, there is indeed no way to fight them.

Even if ordinary people file a lawsuit and cause a huge uproar, they can settle things as long as they create public opinion and throw out a scapegoat.

The common people had no idea that they were being scapegoated; they thought they had won and had caught the real culprit, and were even smug about it afterwards.

After a while, the people will forget about these things, as if nothing had ever happened.

They couldn't be harmed at all, let alone uprooted.

After all... they have already infiltrated every corner of the country.

but.

Who is Liu Jianjun? He is a marshal!

Are we really unable to handle even these clowns jumping around?!
