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 staying.

"I caught it, and I made a general trial. It was really sent by that bastard! The bastard 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.

"En." 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 it 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 does not cooperate, they can directly silence them so that everyone will not get a thunderbolt.

Xu Zhengyong continued: "Now His Highness Seventh is preparing to bring people back to the barracks. His Highness Seventh had already released a 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 meet the Seventh Prince first, don't leave for too long to cause suspicion, let's talk about the next thing in two days when we have time."

"Okay, then you and Second 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.

The barracks, the commander's tent.

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

"Boss, Master Wei, please see me."

The soldiers guarding the tents reported.

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

Then Wei Mingting entered the tent.

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

Wei Mingting walked over, glanced at the sand table, but didn't answer, but asked Zheng Shoubei: "Master Zheng, you have made great military achievements, why did you do such a thing as collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

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

After a while, he turned his head to look at Wei Mingting, with a little more 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 thunderbolts for yourself? 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. He has made countless military achievements from the beginning as a small soldier to the current garrison position.

"Master Wei, you are talking about evidence. Slandering your boss is a serious crime. I can deal with you directly by military law, and I can imprison you." 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 it. This trip to rob food and grass is indeed sloppy. I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful thing as the Thunderbolt, which ruined 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."

While talking with Wei Mingting, Zheng Zhongye walked up to his saber, and when the words fell, he pulled out his saber and slashed towards Wei Mingting.

Wei Mingting had been prepared for a long time, and 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 through the camp, and one after another metal collision sounded.

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

The unpredictable and vigorous 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 in this moment.

But he didn't expect Wei Mingting's martial arts attainments to be so powerful, 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 twenty 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 camp: "Come on, Wei Mingting wants to assassinate the commander! Come on!"

Several people rushed in from outside the camp, armed with spears, 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 ordered, the soldiers should obey.

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.

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

###

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

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

Wei Mingting stood aside. Before Chu Lan came, he only asked Zheng Zhongye briefly and did not use torture.

Chu Lan walked around Zheng Zhongye and examined him again.

Then Chu Lan sat down at the head coach's seat, and began to ask, "Zheng Shoubei, do you know what the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is?"

"Your Highness, I did not collude with the enemy and treason the country. I robbed food and fodder, and I went to the ship dealer privately to ask about Thunderbolt bombs. I was only following orders!" Zheng Zhongye explained.

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

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