Emperor Mingwen held Beibei's hand and walked forward, lowering his head from time to time to give instructions. Beibei nodded obediently and said, "Uncle Huang, Beibei has remembered."
After waiting for a long time before Chu Yunning came out, Emperor Mingwen frowned and couldn't help but raise the curtain again and entered the shed.
As soon as he entered, he saw Chu Yunning squatting on the ground, holding soil in his hands, turning the mud bit by bit, and sniffing it close to the tip of his nose. Emperor Mingwen said angrily: "The air here is not circulating, even if it is a chronic poison."
, it’s also poison, why don’t you come out quickly?”
Chu Yunning raised her head: "Let me see if these vegetables can be saved. The person who poisoned them probably started yesterday..."
Hearing this, Emperor Mingwen was dumbfounded: "Aning, these vegetables have been poisoned. Although it is a pity, we should eradicate them as soon as possible just in case."
"Hey, okay." Chu Yunning stood up slowly and said to the guard after leaving the greenhouse: "When letting people deal with the greenhouse, remember to ventilate it and don't plant anything within a month."
"yes!"
The more Chu Yunning thought about it, the angrier she became: "Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated to the end!"
"Check, we must check." The smile on Emperor Mingwen's face turned serious, and he summoned the guards: "Find all those in charge of the greenhouse in the past two days."
Perhaps due to the emperor's anger, the guard was agitated: "Yes!"
At this time, a guard came to report that the body was found at the end of the water source. A small bottle was found from the man's arms. After verification by the military doctor, it was confirmed to be poison.
"Where are you from?" Emperor Mingwen asked.
The guard said: "Back to the emperor, this person is Zhang Erzhu who provoked Chu Shanggong in the military camp before."
When Zhang Erzhu's name was mentioned, Chu Yunning immediately thought of Zhang Dazhu: "What about his brother Zhang Dazhu?"
"Zhang Dazhu left the military camp three months ago and disappeared without a trace. This second pillar sneaked into the military camp..." The guard trembled all over and knelt in the snow.
"Who brought Zhang Erzhu in?" Chu Yunning was angry. She had only left the border for two months, and she made such a mistake. It was really unforgivable. She looked at Emperor Mingwen: "Your Majesty, take charge of this matter.
It’s Vice General Wen who’s involved.”
Emperor Mingwen immediately winked at Eunuch Mo, and Eunuch Mo decided to bring Vice General Wen over quickly.
Perhaps knowing that he had made a big mistake, Vice General Wen took off his armor at this moment and knelt directly at the feet of Emperor Mingwen: "I am guilty, and I beg the emperor to punish me severely."
"Why did you use Zhang Erzhu?" Chu Yunning was puzzled. Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Erzhu were having an unpleasant quarrel in the military camp. The two men were cheating and inciting the atmosphere in the military camp. Therefore, no matter what reason, there was no reason to use Zhang Erzhu.
Zhang Erzhu should be used again.
If she hadn't come to see the greenhouses on a whim and Beibei's cleverness, all three hundred greenhouses would have suffered.
The more I think about it, the more scared I feel.
Vice General Wen lowered his head and said nothing.
"Say!" Chu Yunning shouted angrily.
"The last general will accept his punishment." Lieutenant General Wen held the stick in his hand and raised it high, as if he was asking for forgiveness.
"This matter is not easy to fool. These greenhouses are the protection of the soldiers at the front. How much hard work has been spent to get where we are today. Do you think you can get away with it by simply admitting to punishment?" Chu Yunning knew that this man was talkative.
, we must establish our authority, otherwise there will be a next time.
This matter involves too much and must be severely punished.
Vice General Wen raised his head and looked at Emperor Mingwen, with a hint of guilt in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I have experienced countless battles at the border. I have no merit but hard work. Can I be given a lighter punishment for the sake of the past?"
Emperor Mingwen sneered, raised his foot and kicked Lieutenant General Wen directly in the heart; "You are so impudent that you dare to negotiate terms with me. Based on what Zhang Erzhu has done, even if you die ten thousand times it won't be enough to make up for it!"
"Your Majesty!" Vice General Wen was kicked far away. He clutched his heart tightly. After a while, he vomited a large mouthful of blood and kowtowed to Emperor Mingwen to beg for mercy. "Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
Emperor Mingwen raised his hand and ordered the guards: "Bring up all the people who have been in contact with Vice General Wen recently!"
"yes!"
After saying this, Vice General Wen was completely panicked: "I will admit my guilt. I know I was wrong. I beg the emperor to punish me."
No matter how much Vice General Wen pleaded for mercy, Emperor Mingwen remained indifferent.
After a while, the guards came with more than a dozen people, and they all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Emperor Mingwen asked directly: "Tell me everything you know about Vice General Wen, and I can give you a lighter punishment."
More than a dozen people looked at each other, talking about everyday things, and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. Chu Yunning glanced at Vice General Wen's face and noticed that his expression had softened. He frowned slightly and suddenly caught a glimpse of Wen.
The deputy general's sleeves were embroidered with green bamboo flowers.
The embroidery skills are so good that it looks like the work of a little girl at first glance. The embroiderer would not embroider such things on Lieutenant General Wen's clothes for no reason.
Chu Yunning finally noticed something was wrong, his eyes wandered among the dozen or so people, and he winked at Eunuch Mo.
After following Chu Yunning for a long time, Eunuch Mo also understood the meaning.
So without saying a word, he stepped forward and took off the man's helmet.
A head of thick black hair fell apart in an instant, blowing slightly in the wind.
"It's a woman!" Eunuch Mo exclaimed. This person was petite and his face was deliberately blackened, so no one noticed that he was a woman.
Vice General Wen panicked and kowtowed to Emperor Mingwen: "Your Majesty, all your mistakes are my fault and have nothing to do with Xiuxiu."
Xiuxiu had tears in her eyes, hunched her shoulders and looked aggrieved, with a frightened expression.
Chu Yunning took a deep breath, and she was guessed correctly.
Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty gates. If they guard the border for more than ten years, they will definitely feel empty and lonely.
This is something that no amount of money can buy back.
Therefore, the other party really took great pains to arrange this incident.
"Tell me, what's going on?
"Emperor Mingwen has gradually lost his patience.
Vice General Wen hesitated and hesitated, and then said after a long time: "Can the emperor spare Xiuxiu for the sake of the past? General Mo will bear all the sins alone."
Emperor Mingwen sneered: "Come here, give me a beating, and be sure to ask the truth!"
Soon, two guards held down Deputy General Wen tightly and pulled him onto the bench.
Just a few moments later, Lieutenant General Wen received ten sticks.
He was so stunned that he didn't say a word.
Chu Yunning's eyes were always fixed on Xiuxiu, trying to find some clues from her.
She suddenly realized that Xiuxiu's worry was only superficial, and there was no fear in her eyes at all.
Xiuxiu immediately lowered her head in panic, avoiding Chu Yunning's eyes.
"This woman is not from Nanduan at all, but a spy sent by Dongling. If the emperor wants to fight, he should fight this person too!"
Chu Yunning pointed at Xiuxiu and said.
Xiuxiu raised her head in shock. She was stunned for a moment and then immediately shook her head: "No, I'm not. You misunderstood. I'm from Nanduan."
"Then do you know Zhang Erzhu? What is your relationship with him? Why do you want him to apply poison in the greenhouse?"
Chu Yunning's question was so sharp that Xiuxiu couldn't react at all in a short period of time.
"I......"
"Your Majesty, this matter has serious implications. Vice General Wen fell into the enemy's honey trap. If he is not severely punished, there will be endless troubles!" Chu Yunning suggested.
Vice General Wen panicked. He knew Chu Yunning's abilities and methods, so he kowtowed to Emperor Mingwen and begged for mercy. After a while, his head was broken.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me this time."
Emperor Mingwen looked disappointed. He was very optimistic about Vice General Wen's ability and planned to promote him.
It's a pity that Lieutenant General Wen was useless and his great future was ruined.
"Stop your mouth and use a hundred sticks. The nine tribes..."
When the word "Nine Tribes" was mentioned, Vice General Wen was really panicked. He immediately pointed at Xiuxiu and said, "This is indeed from Dongling. The general was confused for a moment and shouldn't have gotten into trouble. Your Majesty, the general really doesn't know about Zhang Erzhu."
It is necessary to poison him, otherwise he will definitely try his best to stop him. Zhang Erzhu only said that he wanted to secretly learn the art of growing vegetables and farm the land after returning to the countryside so that he can support his family. Everything he said was true and he never dared to lie."
Lieutenant General Wen was indeed indulged in the gentle countryside, but compared to his close relatives at home, he immediately woke up.
Perhaps Xiuxiu didn't expect Vice General Wen to recruit him so readily, and frowned: "General, do you ignore me anymore?"
When Lieutenant General Wen saw her pitiful appearance, he felt soft in his heart. But in the next second, Lieutenant General Wen came to his senses. This was not a weak and delicate little girl. She was clearly a Rakshasa who came to seek life on purpose!
"It was in vain that I was sincere to you and wanted to marry you, and you actually lied to me!"
Lieutenant General Wen, a grown man, almost burst into tears and stared at Xiuxiu with red eyes.
Before the national righteousness, Lieutenant General Wen finally woke up.
Xiuxiu bit her lip and looked at Chu Yunning, blaming her for talking too much, otherwise no one would pay attention to her.
She couldn't even guess where she was exposed.
"Now that I've been exposed, kill or chop me into pieces, it doesn't matter!"
After Xiuxiu finished speaking, she shut up and frowned, looking unconvinced.
Chu Yunning approached Emperor Mingwen, and the cold voice fell on Xiuxiu's ears like a life-threatening talisman.
"It's too cheap to die, why not reward the three armies."
"Chu Yunning, you have to die!" Xiu Xiu was afraid and struggled hard, but was held down by the guards on the side.
Xiuxiu glared at Chu Yunning.
"You almost harmed the soldiers of the three armies. What's wrong with asking you to atone for your sins?" Chu Yunning smiled, with a chill in his smile.
Xiu Xiu trembled with fear.
"I can also ask the emperor to let you live and give you a chance to change your ways. It depends on whether you can grasp it or not." Chu Yunning said.
Xiuxiu suddenly raised her head: "Are you so kind?"
"Asshole, how dare you question Chu Shang Palace!" Eunuch Mo raised his hand and slapped Xiuxiu!
Xiu Xiu glared at Eunuch Mo with a crooked face, very unconvinced, but said nothing more.
"Tell me the contact information between you and Dongling, tell Dongling in your name, and the matter is settled."
Chu Yunning planned to take advantage of the situation and bite Dongling back.
Xiuxiu hesitated.
"There are only two ways. I'll give you half an hour to think about it. If not, I will do what I say!"
Chu Yunning ordered Deputy General Wen and Xiuxiu to be locked in a large shed.
Emperor Mingwen saw that the tip of her nose was slightly red, and he didn't know whether she was angry or cold, so he quickly took off his cloak and handed it to her.
Chu Yunning was slightly stunned and shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine."
"Put it on, I'm a little hot."
Emperor Mingwen put one hand on his lower back, raised his eyebrows and looked past the dozen soldiers.
"These people can no longer stay in the greenhouse. Let's move to another place. We will make arrangements after six months based on the performance."
There must be severe punishment in the military camp, otherwise everyone will follow suit, and no one will care about military regulations.
Emperor Mingwen said: "Everyone has fifty sticks, and they will be thrown into the woodshed after one month."
"yes!"
Suddenly there were bursts of wailing and screaming.
Xiuxiu in the greenhouse trembled when she heard this. She looked nervously at Deputy General Wen with tears on her face: "I have no choice. My parents and brothers have been detained. They forced me."
When Xiu Xiu cried, Vice General Wen felt a little uncomfortable.
Thinking about the tender moments these days, Vice General Wen took a deep breath: "You almost killed hundreds of thousands of troops. Those people are also the backbone of the family. I can't forgive you."
You can die on the battlefield, but you can never die so cowardly.
Those people were all his deceased brothers.
Thousands of families were almost destroyed because of his own stupidity, and Vice General Wen couldn't even pass his own test.
Half a month ago, he accidentally rescued Xiuxiu who fell into the water. Seeing her crying pitifully, he couldn't bear to let her stay in the military camp. He also heard that she was a relative of Zhang Erzhu's family, so he let Zhang Erzhu come into the shed like a ghost.
At first, Vice Admiral Wen also had doubts, but was quickly dismissed by Xiu Xiu.
Xiu Xiu was gentle and considerate, illiterate, and Zhang Erzhu was an out-and-out farmer who had also stayed in a military camp before, so Vice General Wen agreed.
Who would have thought that Xiuxiu was actually sent by an enemy country.
Vice General Wen suddenly looked closely at Xiuxiu and asked, "What is your relationship with Zhang Erzhu?"
When Xiuxiu heard this, her face was a little unnatural, and she hesitated. Thinking that Zhang Erzhu was dead, she made up a random reason: "Zhang Erzhu was held hostage like me. We are just a cooperative relationship."
"Something's wrong!" Vice General Wen shook his head. Although he is a big boss, this matter simply cannot withstand scrutiny: "What is the relationship between you and Zhang Erzhu?"
Speaking of which, Xiu Xiu didn’t hide anything
He said: "I am Zhang Erzhu's divorced daughter-in-law. I was rescued by Zhang Erzhu a year ago."
Hearing this, Lieutenant General Wen felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was stunned for a long time and did not recover.
"you......."
"The borders of the Three Kingdoms are so close, and Zhang Erzhu often goes to Dongling. But after he was kicked out half a year ago, he has no source of income. Our family's expenses..."
"Family?" Vice General Wen raised his voice.
Xiuxiu nodded: "We also have a son."
Upon hearing this, Vice General Wen wanted to slap himself to death.
"Please save me, general. The child cannot live without a mother. I have made many mistakes and I can spend the rest of my life repaying the general." Xiuxiu knelt on the ground, crying in grievance.
Vice General Wen took a deep breath and pushed Xiuxiu away: "
Then tell me what happened between you and Dongling, and don’t hide anything."
"Donngling..." Xiuxiu just cried. Vice General Wen was a little impatient: "If you don't tell me, I can't help you."
So Xiuxiu had no choice but to reveal something. She held on to Deputy General Wen's sleeve tightly, and Deputy General Wen dodged away, raised the curtain and went out directly.
