Chapter 786
General Gu understands Lingxiang's skills.
He taught it himself. Even if Ling Xiang encountered an enemy, how could he disappear without a trace?
Therefore, General Gu secretly asked his cronies to investigate Ling Xiang's disappearance.
An investigation revealed the ulterior secrets of Deputy Commander Wu, General Xia and Prefect Yang.
General Gu had previously suspected that Ling Xiang had been captured by General Xia and was imprisoned in Weizhou.
General Gu was looking for an opportunity to enter Weizhou to find out what was going on. As a result, the plague spread and many soldiers in the military camp were also infected with the plague.
The matter of rescuing Lingxiang can only be put aside temporarily.
And the reason General Gu took action against Deputy Commander Wu so quickly was also because of Ling Xiang.
Although General Gu could not save Ling Xiang himself, he had his own spies in Weizhou City.
Ling Xiang escaped from death row. Weizhou Governor Yang sent so many officers and soldiers to arrest Ling Xiang. Such a big movement alerted the informants.
The eyeliner immediately spread the news.
General Gu has been able to garrison the Frontier Force for so many years, and he is also a powerful general.
He immediately analyzed the situation with Yuan De and other cronies, and finally came to the conclusion that King Yi needed their support.
Therefore, General Gu made a decisive decision and wanted to control Deputy Commander Wu. He first dealt with the internal affairs of the frontier fortress army and then sent people to support King Yi.
General Gu asked Yuan De to persuade several lieutenants of Deputy Commander Wu, and he also invited Deputy Commander Wu to drink wine to numb him.
Vice Commander Wu noticed something was wrong at the wine table and wanted to escape and call his troops, but it was too late.
Those lieutenants who were unwilling to listen to Yuan De's advice to surrender have been controlled by General Gu's people.
The only ones left were insignificant minions like Captain Lin, and a few trusted lieutenants who were following Deputy Commander Wu at this time.
Vice Commander Wu had already sounded the rallying horn. He thought he would see his own people when he rushed out, but he didn't expect that he was surrounded by General Gu's people.
He was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he shouted harshly: "General Gu, this general was appointed by the emperor. Only the emperor can interrogate me!"
"You have baselessly accused me of collaborating with the enemy and treason. You are slandering me. I am going to sue you in front of the emperor. You want to avenge your personal vengeance and frame me as a general if you want to dominate the country!"
General Gu smiled coldly: "Do you want evidence? I will give it to you! Now that you are at ease, you still have a chance to complain in front of the emperor! If you don't surrender, you will be killed without mercy!"
Lu Zhongze also rushed over and saw that Deputy Commander Wu was still resisting, so he yelled.
"Vice Commander Wu, General An has obtained the evidence that you and General Xia colluded with the Yang family to treason! Our King Yi also has the account books of all the goods sold by the Yang family to Dong Qi over the years!"
"The evidence is irrefutable! Even in front of the emperor, can you quibble? Can your Wu family withstand the confiscation of your home?"
Deputy Commander Wu already knew about Ling Xiang's rescue, and he knew exactly what evidence Ling Xiang had in his hands.
At that time, Ling Xiang suspected that he and General Xia had colluded with the Yang family to sell weapons to Dong Qi, so Ling Xiang wanted to rush back and report to General Gu.
When Deputy Commander Wu found out, he quickly asked General Xia to intercept Ling Xiang quietly.
But they didn't find any evidence from Ling Xiang.
In order to obtain evidence, Deputy Commander Wu asked Magistrate Yang to imprison Ling Xiang and torture him.
However, I didn’t expect Ling Xiang to be a tough guy! He was beaten several times and his life hung by a thread, but he didn’t tell where the evidence was hidden!
Just handing over the things in Lingxiang's hands would be a death penalty for himself and General Xia!
Not to mention that King Yi still has those account books of the Yang family!
Deputy Commander Wu looked around and saw that all the archers were aiming their arrows at them.
Now that the situation is over, if they don't surrender, they will be shot into hedgehogs in an instant!
Vice Commander Wu's face turned pale. Is this the end of them?
