Beijing, the presidential palace.
Big Head Yuan was receiving a crying middle-aged woman.
"Grand President, you have to uphold justice for my brother! He was loyal to the Grand President. The Second Young Master killed him without asking why. It was really chilling!”The middle-aged woman complained.
She was Zhang Zhenfang's sister and also Big Head Yuan's sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll definitely find out the truth. I think there must be some misunderstanding.”said Big Head Yuan.
Yuan Kewen chopped off Zhang Zhenfang's head, which made Big Head Yuan very angry. He didn't understand why Yuan Kewen would do that.
"The truth is already very clear. Can you still deny it?”Zhang shi was somewhat dissatisfied.
When Big Head Yuan heard this, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.
"What's wrong? Do you want Kewen to be buried with your brother?”
When Zhang shi heard this, her face instantly turned pale.
"Grand President, I didn't mean that! My poor little brother died so tragically!”Zhang shi started crying.
"Alright, go back first. I'll investigate everything!”Big Head Yuan said impatiently.
Zhang shi had no choice but to leave.
"What is this little bastard trying to do? Could it be that he really wanted to rebel against me?”Big Head Yuan was very dissatisfied.
As the saying goes, emperors have no kinship.
Although Big Head Yuan was not the emperor now, he was no different from an emperor.
He naturally valued power very much and would never allow others to get their hands on it. Even his son was the same.
However, he didn't believe that Yuan Kewen would rebel. Because there was no need for that at all.
Yuan Kewen's performance during this period of time had already made Big Head Yuan very satisfied. He even made up his mind to let Yuan Kewen inherit his career in the future. Naturally, there would be no need to rebel.
"Grand President, everyone is here.”Big Head Yuan's military advisor, Yang Xingcheng, reported.
Big Head Yuan nodded and went to the study.
The big shots of Beiyang had already gathered here.
Cabinet Chief Tang Shaoyi, Acting Foreign Affairs Chief Hu Weide, Finance Chief Zhou Xuexi, Army Chief Wang Shizhen, Military Advisor Yang Xingcheng, Northern Army Chief of Staff Duan Qirui, Northern Army 3rd Infantry Division Commander Cao Kun, and Yuan Datou's eldest son Yuan Kending were all waiting in the study.
Yuan Kewen beheaded Zhang Zhenfang. This caused a huge uproar in the Beiyang faction.
Many of the Beiyang higher-ups who were friends with Zhang Zhenfang were even more furious.
Those who had the same moral character as Zhang Zhenfang were even more anxious.
As for Yuan Kewen's eldest brother, Yuan Kending, the smile on his face was almost uncontrollable.
Originally, he had always regarded himself as the sole heir of Big Head Yuan and did not take his younger brother, who was obsessed with romance, seriously at all.
However, he had never expected that in just a few months, his younger brother would become a completely different person. He had become the youngest commander of the Northern Army and had even pulled up a powerful army.
The most important thing was that Yuan Kewen was appreciated by Yuan Datou.
This directly put Yuan Kending's position as the heir in danger!
Now, Yuan Kewen had made a big mistake and had already caused Yuan Datou and the other Beiyang big shots to be dissatisfied.
This undoubtedly gave Yuan Ke Ding an opportunity, so he was naturally incomparably happy.
"Grand President!"
When Big Head Yuan appeared in the study, everyone immediately stood up and bowed.
"No need to be polite. Everyone, tell me what that little bastard, Kewen, wants to do!”Big Head Yuan's face was ashen.
"Father, little brother is still young. He must have made a big mistake on impulse. Please forgive little brother this time!”Yuan Keding was the first to speak, looking like he was pleading for Yuan Kewen.
However, Big Head Yuan and the big shots of Beiyang were all old foxes. Naturally, he understood what Yuan Ke Ding was planning.
Yuan Keding seemed to be pleading for Yuan Kewen, but in reality, he wanted to confirm Yuan Kewen's crime.
If that was the case, Yuan Kewen definitely wouldn't be able to continue leading troops. If he did not do well, he might even be removed from his post. In that case, it would naturally not pose any threat to him.
Big Head Yuan glanced at Yuan Ke Ding and didn't say anything.
Both his palms and hands were flesh, and they were all his sons.
If it was possible, he naturally did not want to see his son fight among himself.
"Grand President, Kewen sent someone to send back Zhang Zhenfang's evidence. Since Zhang Zhenfang became the governor of Henan Province, not only did he fail to provide disaster relief, but he also pocketed the money, levied exorbitant taxes, and disregarded human lives.”Tang Shaoyi said.
"Grand President, Gewen is a young man after all. After discovering Zhang Zhenfang's crimes, she couldn't control herself for a moment. That was why he ordered Zhang Zhenfang's head to be chopped off. This is understandable." Zhou Xuexi said.
He had a good impression of Yuan Kewen and didn't want him to be punished.
In other words, he would rather Yuan Kewen inherit Yuan Datou's business than Yuan Keding, who had great ambitions but little talent, inherit Yuan Datou's business.
That was why he was helping Yuan Kewen.
