Although things have been chaotic these past few years, the general direction and concepts within the military still don't allow for reckless actions, and external influences are not allowed to enter.
For soldiers going to the front lines, even knowing it's a dead end, they will still charge forward because military orders are paramount. At this time, the role of the commander is extremely important.
A single wrong instruction could cost many lives.
How did Gu Ruizhi die?
He was killed by the person he was commanding.
It was deliberately sent to his death.
Moreover, in order to make the targeting less obvious, it wasn't aimed at Gu Ruizhi alone. A small team of thirteen people was sent, but they were all wiped out, and none of them returned.
In the end, upon review, it was nothing more than a wrong judgment, and had absolutely nothing to do with harming anyone.
And so, Gu Ruizhi, such an outstanding person who had returned safely from so many dangerous missions, ended up dying at the hands of his own people.
This matter was a thorn in Gu Tingzhi's heart, and even in his previous life, he was ultimately unable to remove it.
Because, in his past life, he took revenge, but not by bringing down his opponent because of this crime.
The person in command was none other than Brigade Commander Li.
Upon hearing this news, Meng Fuyan was utterly shocked. "It was him? You...you knew all along?"
She had never heard of this matter in her previous life. Logically speaking, this matter should be very important to Gu Tingzhi, so there should be no ripples at all!
How could her trusted confidante not know?
Gu Tingzhi leaned back on the sofa and nodded heavily. "It's him. I didn't tell you before because it was hard to find evidence. I told you he got promoted by taking advantage of a loophole. Where are there so many loopholes for people to take advantage of? He has no background and his abilities aren't outstanding. How did he get to where he is now?"
"His family is clearly very poor, so why should he bring his whole family to Kyoto? Even if he is blindly filial, even if he is considering his own family, at most he can only bring his parents and support his brothers. But he brought all his brothers and sisters. If he had no other income over the years, he simply couldn't support so many people."
Meng Fuyan thought about it and realized that it made sense.
The Li family consists of dozens of people, most of whom do not receive a salary. Moreover, the Li family has a large number of children. Commander Li has the highest salary, but supporting so many people is no simple expense.
The fact that they can still linger in Kyoto without leaving can only mean that they have something to rely on.
Otherwise, with so many brothers and sisters, there will always be some who are not favored, and most likely one or more of them will go back to their hometown to farm.
But they didn't.
The Gu family is certainly not short of money, and neither is Xu Honghua. The Gu family has sucked the blood of several women, and in the end, apart from Gu Tao and the old man, Xu Honghua has benefited the most. If she wants to use some money to bribe people, she can still do so.
Meng Fuyan was unaware of these things because in her previous life, Gu Tingzhi had kept quiet about it. He knew that this method would be difficult to bring down his opponent, so he sought another way. No one knew that the Li family's misfortune in their previous life was because Gu Tingzhi wanted revenge.
"So what now? You said it yourself, evidence is hard to obtain, so will the Li family confess?"
Gu Tingzhi sneered, "Who told Xu Honghua to court death by using the Li family against me? If we follow the clues, we can always find something. By connecting the dots, we can naturally deduce the truth. At this point, even if I can't produce much evidence to prove this, the higher-ups will believe that my brother's death was intentional. As long as the other charges are solid, it doesn't matter whether he admits to this one or not. The higher-ups will make him admit it."
