Nie Yun is dead.

Gu Qingzhou took over the newspaper, only to know that Nie Yun had died tragically.

"The young marshal Si Mu forced the girl to be a good family girl, and the virgin Nie Yun went to the festival to save her name!"

This news, the headline on the front page is huge, and it is accompanied by a photo.

The upper body of the photo is covered with white flags, and the lower body is the calf sticking out from the cheongsam.

"Nie Yun is dead?" Yan Luoshui looked at Gu Qingzhou in shock, "Second brother...he is really with Nie Yun..."

Huo Zhujing gently rubbed Yan Luoshui's waist: Now is not the time to say this.

Yan Luoshui's words could no longer be said.

The three of them were pale: this matter was published, but it could be big or small, and it was definitely not a good thing for Simu.

Si Mu is unwilling in the army, and if this kind of thing happens again, Si Mu's morality will suffer, I am afraid that he will no longer be able to convince the public; and in the hearts of the people of Yuecheng, this matter will also leave traces, which will damage Si Mu's majesty .

The military government is only afraid of instability, unless Simu will not be the military governor in the future.

Only Gu Qingzhou really read the newspaper.

After reading it, Gu Qingzhou said: "This is the news published in the "Floating World Evening News", indicating that it was instructed by Nanjing."

"Floating World Evening News" has a relationship with the Nanjing government, and many people know about this. It's just that it usually publishes some stories and lace news, and the military government doesn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, this incident was actually published from the Floating World Evening News.

"Does the Overseer know?" Yan Luoshui gave Gu Qingzhou an idea, "If you know, hurry up and remove the remaining newspapers."

Gu Qingzhou didn't seem to hear it.

She folded the newspaper and said, "It's too late."

"What's so late?" Yan Luoshui and the others looked at her in surprise.

"Floating World Evening News" has a strong story, many of which are fabricated, and the sales are not particularly large.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg." Gu Qingzhou said, "This matter can't be easily dealt with, which shows that someone has been planning for a long time and wants to ruin Si Mu's reputation."

They didn't care what sweet potatoes to eat, picked up the things they had bought, and returned to Yan's Mansion together.

Yan Xinnong is not at home.

Mrs. Yan didn't know about it yet.

Gu Qingzhou said: "I'll go back to the new house first, there may be something wrong later."

Mrs. Yan did not leave her either.

When Gu Qingzhou walked back to the new house, it happened that Simu hurried out.

The Overseer called him on an urgent matter.

"Dad looking for you?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Simu nodded and asked her again, "Are you going?"

"No, I'll visit another day." Gu Qingzhou said.

Simu didn't expect her to go, so he raised his foot and left.

When they arrived at the military governor's mansion, the governor general smashed a large stack of newspapers on Si Mu's face.

It was only then that Simu saw that it was all newspapers in Nanjing, but not in Yuecheng.

There are more than 20 copies in total, and there are overwhelming reports that Simu forced Nie Yun, causing Nie Yun to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river.

The commander-in-chief of the commander-in-chief of the army, navy, and air forces of the Nanjing government is about to take office. Now that such a scandal has spread to Nanjing, the transfer of the commander-in-chief will definitely be postponed.

He was wise all his life, but he was going to be stained by Si Mu, how could he not be angry?

At this moment, the commander had a serious face: "I thought you were more sensible than your **** brother, but I don't think you are a nasty child! You don't want many women in Yuecheng, you have to do this kind of nasty thing!"

In the study, in addition to the commander-in-chief, there are seven or eight staff officers, including Yan Xinnong.

The commander-in-chief cursed and was about to start.

Shock flashed in Simu's eyes. Rao is that he is very calm, and he is a little flustered at this moment.

This was beyond his expectations.

His panic was only for a moment, and he soon returned to calm. There was vigilance in his eyes.

"How could this be? We didn't hear the news of Yuecheng's murder, but Nanjing has covered the sky with reports?" Si Mu looked solemn.

This point, the commander-in-chief did not think of it.

It was someone who deliberately framed Si Mu and damaged the reputation of the commander-in-chief.

But the rumors have already come out, which has a great impact on the commander-in-chief, and it is also a test for the Yuecheng military government. Flies don't nail seamless eggs. If Simu keeps himself clean, where does this kind of news come from?

At this moment, Mrs. Si broke in.

Mrs. Si also just got the news.

The staff members all salute Mrs. Si.

The commander-in-chief frowned: "You go back first, we will discuss military affairs here!"

Mrs. Si's sullen brows were stern: "My son, my husband, and even the military government are all framed and smeared, can I stay out of it? This matter is no longer purely military affairs, but also our family's housework! I am the hostess. , I have to intervene in housework!"

The madam is righteous and awe-inspiring. She is not crying when she encounters an accident, but analyzes it coldly, and her words are quite heroic. That's how she was respected by both the commander and the staff.

Mrs. Si didn't wait for the governor to say anything, she picked up the newspaper and said: "Yuecheng is silent, Nanjing is full of turmoil, is this not a conspiracy or what is it?"

"It is indeed a conspiracy, but I don't know who is behind it." Yan Xinnong said, and took Mrs. Si's words.

"Whoever is the beneficiary is the manipulator of the conspiracy. Li Wenzhu heard that the Overseer was going to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the sea, land and air. , I think this matter has nothing to do with him." Mrs. Si said.

The commander-in-chief and the staff nodded.

They were so suspicious.

Li Wenzhu and the Si family have been fighting for many years, and when the General Headquarters of the Navy, Land and Air Forces was established, Li Wenzhu jumped up and down, promoting the establishment of the General Headquarters.

He thought that his military merits were great, but Nanjing refused to admit it as soon as he turned his face, and directly approached the commander-in-chief, asking the commander-in-chief of the commander-in-chief.

Si Xingpei, the eldest son of the governor of the army, has been looking for trouble for Li Wenzhu many times. Li Wenzhu has suffered countless losses in the hands of Si Xingpei, and the military governments of the two places have been at odds for a long time.

"The suspicion of Li Wenzhu cannot be ruled out." The governor said.

The crowd joined in.

They guessed who actually attacked Simu.

Only Yan Xinnong had a clearer mind, and he brought back the topic of everyone: "Overseer, ma'am, now it's not about who is the mastermind, but about how to eliminate the influence!"

The impact of this is bad.

It seems that destroying the newspapers cannot cover up the pressure of public opinion; compensating the Nie family cannot eliminate Simu's crimes.

Simu became notorious overnight.

At this moment, the adjutant hurriedly sent in a telegram.

"Overseer, Nanjing sent a special commissioner to come to Yuecheng to investigate the matter. The Nanjing Political Department suspects that Nie Yun did not commit suicide, but homicide."

The commander-in-chief's brows furrowed even tighter.

It can be seen that the mastermind behind it is approaching step by step. First, smear Si Mu's reputation, and people's resentment boils; then let Si Mu be unable to testify himself, and the crime is convicted.

"Who is the special commissioner?" the commander-in-chief asked

"It's Minister Qu Liansheng Qu of the Ministry of Justice."

Qu Liansheng?

The commander-in-chief knew this man. He was an old man from the Ministry of Justice. He used to be a close confidant of the president and had a deep relationship in Nanjing.

"Overseer, you need to make a quick decision!" Mrs. Si said eagerly, "Once the commissioner arrives, the nature of this matter will change."

The commander-in-chief is a savage general who fights with a gun, but he is not a politician playing with his scheming. Now at this juncture, it depends on who is more treacherous, but the commander-in-chief has no more treacherous ideas.

The staff members made plans.

Mrs. Si pressed step by step.

Simu was silent.

".... This woman's death has nothing to do with the young marshal!" Yan Xinnong proposed to use the method of drawing salaries from the bottom of the pot, "There are people in Nanjing who manipulate public opinion, so can we. Through all the newspapers, we can buy famous writers and literati. Shuai Ming injustice!

Nie Yun's body has been transported to Nanjing. I heard that after being soaked in water for four days, it has already festered. I can't see her appearance, and it is impossible to conclude that it is her. "

If there is insufficient evidence, the other party will attack first and use the pressure of public opinion.

In this case, Yue Cheng's counterattack can only be to retaliate with his own way.

"Even if the corpse is really Nie Yun, it's impossible to conclude that she is related to Mu'er!" Mrs. Si said, "It's her mother who is testifying now, but with red lips and white teeth, how can she prove herself?"

The anger of the commander-in-chief has calmed down a little by this time.

When he saw the newspapers that covered the sky, he was mad at first, and now he remembered it.

This incident is mainly noisy in Nanjing, indicating that the main purpose is to discredit the commander-in-chief, and he cannot become the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the sea, land and air.

"Overseer, I am familiar with Nanjing, and my in-laws work in Nanjing. Let me handle this matter." Yan Xinnong said.

The commander-in-chief breathed a sigh of relief: "Xinnong, I'll leave it all to you!"

Mrs. Si also breathed a sigh of relief.

After finding a way, everyone went home.

Simu also returned to the new house.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gu Qingzhou.

"How?" In front of Gu Qingzhou, there were also a lot of newspapers, except for one or two from Yuecheng, the rest were from Nanjing.

"The adoptive father is going to Nanjing. This matter is a public opinion war. Let's see who is the chief writer and the literati who has bought it." Si Mu said.

Gu Qingzhou pondered slightly.

"Who do you think this is aimed at?" Gu Qingzhou asked again.

"The military government. Use me to deal with the Overseer. I'm afraid the commander-in-chief of the Overseer will not be able to do it." Si Mu said. He didn't dare to say it in the Overseer's Mansion, for fear of angering the Director General.

He felt that this matter was not directed against him alone, but against the entire Yuecheng military government, which would destroy the military government's reputation little by little.

But speaking in front of the commander-in-chief is like shirking responsibility.

"Everyone in the military government and the Si family is involved in this conspiracy." Si Mu said, his face pale and livid, "Start with me first."

Gu Qingzhou pondered.

Simu rubbed his aching eyebrows and said, "There is no evidence yet. Nie Yun is missing, and Mrs. Nie said that her daughter once cried and told me that I had raped her. The corpse floating in the river was so rotten that it was Mrs. Nie who said Those are the clothes Nie Yun wore when she left home."

Only Mrs. Nie's one-sided remarks, without any other evidence.

This one-sided remark was first stabbed to Nanjing before the military government could react.

A woman's remarks have caused such a big wave, and it is strange that there is no high-level official to help!

"This is a serial scheme." Gu Qingzhou said, "If you want evidence, there will be."

Simu frowned and glanced at her, feeling that her crow mouth was very unlucky at the moment.

Unexpectedly, it was soon revealed to Sim that Gu Qingzhou was not a crow's mouth, but a thoughtful one.

Sure enough, it happened again the next day.
