Chapter 360 It
took about a stick of incense to catch the main culprit. The movement outside disappeared, and the entire Qianfu Inn returned to tranquility.
Then Wei Ruo heard bursts of footsteps coming from the corridor outside. The footsteps moved from near to far, passing through the stairs to the first floor.
After most of the people left, Xu Zhengyong returned to the Dizihao room where Wei Ruo and the others were.
"I caught it, and after a brief interrogation, it was really sent by that bastard! That bastard wanted to find out the source of the thunder bombs first, and then find the person who made the thunder bombs before us. As long as that person is included in advance Under his command, we can get the thunderbolt before us without even knowing it!" Xu Zhengyong said indignantly.
"Yeah." Wei Ruo was not surprised.
From the time she laid out this situation, she knew that the other party would have such thoughts.
It would be too risky to directly intercept the ship merchants and prevent the military camp from getting this batch of thunderbolts. We had just experienced the food and grass robbery incident, and it would be too easy to expose ourselves if we do this again.
But if you contact the ship dealer in advance and bribe the other party with money, it will be relatively safer to obtain the source of the thunderbolts.
Arranging people to ambush the inn in advance is probably just in case. If the ship dealer doesn't cooperate, they can just silence them so that no one can get the thunderbolts.
Xu Zhengyong continued: "Now His Royal Highness is preparing to take his people back to the military camp. His Royal Highness has already sent out flares just now. If Mr. Wei sees it, he will take action immediately." "Yes." Wei Ruo nodded
.
Although he doesn't like Chu Lan as a person, Wei Ruo still recognizes Chu Lan's ability to handle things. If he didn't have any ability, he would be embarrassed to be the male protagonist.
Then Wei Ruo said to Xu Zhengyong: "Go and meet the Seventh Prince first. Don't leave for too long and arouse suspicion. Let's wait until we have time to talk about the rest of the matter in two days." "Okay, then you and Brother Wei be careful
. , go home early." Xu Zhengyong warned.
"Well, feel free to go." Wei Ruo agreed.
Xu Zhengyong nodded, and then went out to meet 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 Qianfu Inn.

Military camp, the commander’s tent.
Zheng Shoubei was standing in front of the sand table, fiddling with the layout on it.
"Commander, Mr. Wei wants to see you."
The soldiers guarding the camp tent reported.
"Oh? Mr. Wei is back? Let him come in." Zheng Zhongye said.
Then Wei Mingting entered the camp.
Seeing Wei Mingting, Zheng Zhongye smiled and called Wei Mingting to the sand table: "Master Wei, come and see if you can adjust the defense like this and then raid this corner of the southeast to wipe out all the Japanese pirates entrenched on the southeast coast." Wei Mingting left
. He came over, took a look at the sand table, but did not answer, but asked Zheng Shoubei: "Master Zheng, the Qin army has made great achievements, why did you commit treason with the enemy?" Zheng Zhongye was stunned, and the smile disappeared from his face
.
After a while, he turned to look at Wei Mingting, with a smile on his face: "Master Wei, what's going on? What do you mean by collaborating with the enemy and treason?" "Why do you want to hijack food and grass, and also want to embezzle thunderbolts?
This What benefit does it have to 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 exploits from the initial soldier to the current guard position.
"Master Wei, you need to provide evidence when you say these things. Slandering your superior is a very serious crime. I can directly handle you with military law and 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 his eyes cast a ferocious killing intent.
"Wei Mingting, I didn't realize that you still had such thoughts. When did you discover that I had a problem?" Zheng Zhongye said coldly. "I never doubted it before, until the robbery of food and grass happened."
"So it turns out that this robbery of food and grass was really careless. I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful thing as a thunderbolt, which made all the confidants I had cultivated with great difficulty break. It's damaged." Zheng Zhongye stopped pretending.
"Why are you doing this?" Wei Mingting asked.
"Why? Hehe, you probably can only ask the Lord of Hell on Huangquan Road for this question."
Zheng Zhongye walked to Wei Mingting while talking to him. When he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out the saber and slashed at Wei Mingting. .
Wei Mingting was well prepared and dodged.
Then 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 tent, and one after another the sound of metal collision sounded.
The spear danced like a silver snake in Wei Mingting's hand, like a dragon out of the sea, as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning.
The unpredictable and powerful marksmanship made it difficult for Zheng Zhongye to resist.
Zheng Zhongye originally thought that Wei Mingting's injury was not fully healed yet, so he would not be able to show his full strength if he started fighting now.
But he didn't expect that Wei Mingting was so accomplished in martial arts. Even though he almost died more than three months ago, he could still be so threatening and oppressive at this moment.
After more than twenty moves, Zheng Zhongye was at a disadvantage and gradually lost to the enemy.
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 here, Wei Mingting wants to assassinate the coach! Come here!"
Several people rushed in from outside the camp, holding long guns, and surrounded Zheng Zhongye and Wei Mingting.
"Get Wei Mingting! He is collaborating with the enemy and treason, and wants to kill me to silence him!" Zheng Zhongye said back.
Zheng Zhongye has the highest official position in the anti-Japanese army. At this moment, when he orders, the soldiers should obey his orders.
However, the few people who came in at this moment did not do what he said to Wei Mingting, but pointed their fingers 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 his ability to resist.
###
At midnight, Chu Lan led people to rush to the military camp.
After entering the main 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 arrived, he only briefly questioned Zheng Zhongye and did not use torture.
Chu Lan walked around Zheng Zhongye and looked at this person again.
Then Chu Lan came to the coach's seat and sat down, 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 collaborate with the enemy and treason. I
robbed the grain and grass, and privately asked the ship dealer about the thunderbolts. Everything is done according to orders!" Zheng Zhongye explained.
The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason was too big and would implicate the nine tribes. Zheng Zhongye did not dare to bear such a crime.
"Acting on orders? Whose orders?" Chu Lan's eyes were sharp.
