A Blessed Daughter

  Chapter 360 Catch the principal culprit

   After about a stick of incense, the movement outside disappeared, and the whole Qianfu Inn once again returned to tranquility.

   Then Wei Ruo heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside. The footsteps went from near to far, passing the stairs to the first floor.

   After most of the people left, Xu Zhengyong returned to the room where Wei Ruo and the others were located.

"I caught it, and I made a general trial. It was really sent by that bastard! The **** wanted to ask the source of the Thunderbolt first, and then we went to find the person who made the Thunderbolt first. We only need to hire that person in advance Under your command, you can get the Thunderbolt before we know it!" Xu Zhengyong said with righteous indignation.

   "Yes." Wei Ruo was not surprised.

  From the time she set up this game, she knew that the other party would have such thoughts.

   It is too risky to directly intercept the ship merchants to prevent the military camp from getting this batch of Thunderbolt bombs. I have just experienced the robbery of food and grass, and it is too easy to expose myself if I do this again.

  But if you contact the ship dealer in advance and buy the other party with money, the source of obtaining the thunderbolt is relatively much safer.

  Arranging people to ambush in the inn in advance is probably just in case. If the ship dealer doesn't cooperate, they can directly silence them so that everyone will not get a thunderbolt.

  Xu Zhengyong continued: "Now His Highness the Seventh Prince is preparing to take people back to the barracks. His Highness the Seventh Prince has already released the signal flare just now. If Master Wei sees it, he should take action immediately."

   "Yes." Wei Ruo nodded.

  Although he doesn't like Chu Lan, Wei Ruo still approves of Chu Lan's ability to handle things.

  Then Wei Ruo said to Xu Zhengyong: "Go and join the Seventh Prince first, don't leave for too long and cause suspicion. Let's talk about the next thing in two days when we have time."

   "Okay, then you and Brother Wei be careful and go home early." Xu Zhengyong urged.

   "Well, don't worry." Wei Ruo agreed.

  Xu Zhengyong nodded, and then went out to join Chu Lan.

   After he left, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin did not leave immediately, but waited for Chu Lan's people to retreat before leaving the Qianfu Inn.

  Barracks, commander camp.

   Zheng Shoubei was standing in front of the sand table, fiddling with the layout on it.

   "Commander, Lord Wei please see me."

  Soldiers guarding the tents report.

   "Oh? Master Wei is back? Let him in." Zheng Zhongye said.

   Then Wei Mingting entered the tent.

  Seeing Wei Mingting, Zheng Zhongye greeted Wei Mingting with a smile to the front of the sand table: "Master Wei, come and see, adjust the defense to this, and then raid this southeast corner, can you wipe out those Japanese pirates entrenched on the southeast coast?"

  Wei Mingting came over, glanced at the sand table, but didn't answer, but asked Zheng Shoubei: "Master Zheng, you have made great achievements in the military, why did you do something like collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

  Zheng Zhongye was taken aback for a moment, and the smile on his face disappeared.

  After a long while, he turned his head to look at Wei Mingting, with a smile on his face: "What's wrong with Mr. Wei? What are you talking about collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

   "Why do you want to hijack food and grass, and want to steal Thunderbolt bombs? How does this benefit you?" Wei Mingting didn't understand.

  Zheng Zhongye was born as a civilian. He has been in the army for more than 20 years.

   "Master Wei, you are talking about evidence. It is a serious crime to slander your boss. I can deal with you directly by military law, and you can be imprisoned." Zheng Zhongye said coldly.

   "All the people you sent to Qianfu Inn have been captured alive." Wei Mingting said.

  Hearing this, Zheng Zhongye's face turned completely cold, and a pair of hanging eyes cast a murderous intent.

   "Wei Mingting, I didn't see that you still have such thoughts. When did you find out that I have a problem?" Zheng Zhongye said coldly.

   "I never suspected it before, until the robbery of grain and grass appeared."

   "So that's how it is. This trip to rob food and grass was indeed sloppy. I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful thing as the Thunderbolt, which would ruin all the confidantes I cultivated with great difficulty." Zheng Zhongye didn't pretend anymore.

   "Why did you do this?" Wei Mingting asked.

   "Why? Heh, you probably have to go to Huangquan Road to ask Lord Yan about this question."

   Zheng Zhongye walked up to Wei Mingting's saber while talking with him, and when he finished speaking, he pulled out his saber and slashed at Wei Mingting.

  Wei Mingting was already prepared, so he dodged to dodge.

   Immediately afterwards, he turned around and came to the side, picked up the spear placed in the corner, and fought with Zheng Zhongye.

   One after another silver light swayed in the camp, and one after another metal collision sounded.

  The long spear danced like a silver snake in Wei Mingting's hands, like a dragon sailing out to sea, as fast as wind and lightning.

  The unpredictable and powerful marksmanship made Zheng Zhongye difficult to parry.

  Zheng Zhongye originally thought that Wei Mingting's injury hadn't fully healed yet, so he would definitely not be able to show his full strength by doing it now.

  But he didn't want Wei Mingting to be so powerful in martial arts, even though he almost died more than three months ago, he could still have such a great threat and oppressive force at this moment.

  After more than 20 moves, Zheng Zhongye was at a disadvantage and gradually lost.

  In terms of martial arts alone, he is no match for Wei Mingting.

  At this time, Zheng Zhongye rolled his eyes and shouted outside the tent: "Come on, Wei Mingting wants to assassinate the coach! Come on!"

  Several people rushed in from outside the tent, armed with long guns, and surrounded Zheng Zhongye and Wei Mingting.

   "Take down Wei Mingting! He is collaborating with the enemy and treasoning the country, and wants to kill me!" Zheng Zhongye snapped back.

   Zheng Zhongye had the highest official position in the Anti-Japanese Army, and now he gave the order, and the soldiers should obey them.

  However, the few people who came in at this moment did not attack Wei Mingting as he said, but pointed their finger at him.

   Seeing this situation, Zheng Zhongye suddenly felt that his situation was over, and he couldn't help but panic.

  Seeing that he was distracted, Wei Mingting picked up his gun and shot down the weapon in Zheng Zhongye's hand.

  The saber fell to the ground, and Zheng Zhongye also lost the strength to resist.

  ###

At   children, Chu Lan rushed to the barracks with his men.

   After entering the main camp tent, Chu Lan saw Zheng Zhongye who was **** and kneeling in the center of the tent.

   Wei Mingting stood aside. Before Chu Lan came, he only made a simple question to Zheng Zhongye and did not use torture.

  Chu Lan walked around Zheng Zhongye and re-examined him.

  Then Chu Lan came to the position of the coach and sat down, and began to ask: "Zheng Shoubei, do you know what is the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

   "Your Highness, I did not collude with the enemy and treason. I robbed food and grass, and asked the ship dealer privately about Thunderbolt bombs. I followed orders!" Zheng Zhongye explained.

  The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is too great, and it will implicate the whole family. Zheng Zhongye dare not bear such a crime.

   "Follow orders? Whose order?" Chu Lan's eyes were piercing.
