Huo Yushen pretended not to hear and just looked up at the sky.
The clerk also looked up at the sky and continued, "There's no point in Inspector Huo denying it! Before you 'plead' for mercy, Zhuo Wangying should just be shot himself."
"But because you gave me advice, not only was Zhuo Wangying shot, but his family was also stripped of their titles!"
"Is there a more powerful 'plea' than this?!"
Huo Yushen stopped at this time, looked at the clerk, and nodded slightly, as if to indicate that I have tried my best and cannot continue to plead.
The clerk sneered and said, "I have worked for the emperor for many years, and I happen to have a good memory."
"Viscount Zhuo Keyi of the Zhuo family is one of the chiefs of staff of the military's high-level joint conference, in charge of troop equipment."
"That year, you won a great victory, but not only did you not advance any further, but all your military power was taken away from you. You were banished from the front lines to the Special Security Bureau, where you could only serve as a butcher for His Majesty the Emperor."
"If I remember correctly, among those high-ranking military officials who actively worked together to drive you out, one of them was the Viscount Zhuo, Zhuo Keyi, Zhuo Wangying's cousin!"
"His Majesty is so furious right now that he probably doesn't even remember who this Viscount is."
"But I think it's impossible that you don't remember!"
Huo Yushen stopped and looked sideways at the clerk. He suddenly reached out and brushed his shoulder, saying coldly, "Are you speaking for Zhuo Wangying? No wonder Zhuo Wangying is so fearless and can get away with being reported for colluding with the rebels."
Then, he raised his hand in front of the clerical attendant, revealing a recorder, and said, "I recorded every word you just said. As for whether you want His Majesty the Emperor to hear what you just said, that depends on your future performance. Don't even think about tipping off Zhuo Keyi. If he runs away, you'll take the blame for him."
The blood drained completely from the clerical attendant's face.
The reason why he confronted Huo Yushen in person about the Zhuo family's affairs was because the girl he liked was from the Zhuo family.
This time, the Zhuo family's women were no longer nobles, but the gap between nobles and commoners was unfathomable. How could he be willing for his beloved fiancée to suddenly go from noble to commoner?!
Just criticizing Huo Yushen is not a big deal. He has already figured out how to go back and help the Zhuo family run things.
But Huo Yushen only used a recorder to get rid of his resentment.
The clerical attendant's legs were trembling, and he could hardly control himself and was about to kneel down to Huo Yushen.
Huo Yushen still had a cold and indifferent look on his face as he turned and left.
…
No one knows whether Huo Yushen remembers who Zhuo Keyi is.
However, as soon as Huo Yushen came out of the palace, he personally led the elites of the Special Security Bureau's Hong Group, took the emperor's decree, broke into the joint conference office building of the military headquarters, and came to the office of the Viscount Zhuo General.
Zhuo Keyi had just turned off the video call encrypted by quantum entanglement when he saw a group of burly men in Special Security Bureau uniforms breaking into his office.
The soldiers standing guard at his door with live ammunition were disarmed.
Zhuo Keyi's face darkened and he roared, "Are you from the Special Security Bureau planning a rebellion?!"
Huo Yushen walked in slowly from behind, holding the emperor's edict in his hand. He showed it to Zhuo Keyi and said coldly, "Chief of Staff Zhuo, it would be better for you to ask His Majesty the Emperor about this."
When Zhuo Keyi saw that it was Huo Yushen, he immediately showed an expression of extreme fear.
He leaned back in his large office chair, one hand resting on the armrest, and quietly reached under his desk with the other to activate the alarm system underneath. He forced a smile and said, "It's Yu Shen! Long time no see. You're now a marshal, a higher rank than mine!"
"You're one of our frontline troops, and the Special Security Bureau is also part of the military. So, can you tell me what happened?"
Huo Yushen's expression was his usual cold and indifferent. He said, "By order of His Majesty the Emperor, Zhuo Wangying has colluded with the rebels. His crimes are extremely serious and he will be executed immediately. The Zhuo family will be stripped of their titles. Zhuo Keyi will be taken away by the Special Security Bureau for investigation and strict trial."
The color drained from Zhuo Keyi's face in an instant. "This is impossible! Even if my cousin Zhuo Wangying isn't very smart or capable, he absolutely wouldn't collude with the rebels! Besides, what kind of treatment would the rebels give him? He must be crazy to be working for the rebels!"
