The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1120

Chapter 1120: Chapter 943, Medicine Overturned

Daohua and Gu Jian never intended to enter the military town. With Xiao Yeyang absent, they had no idea whether there were still any of Wei Hong’s people in the army. If they went in and Wei Hong dared to try something risky, it would truly be like trapping a dog in its pen.

Wei Hong felt irritated while pondering how to drive away these unwelcome visitors when Daohua spoke up again.

"Commander Wei, Master Wang was a staff officer personally invited by our Princely Heir to join our ranks. He has always been diligent and meticulous in his service by the Princely Heir’s side. Why did you want to kill him?"

At this moment, with Dongli’s help, the ropes on Master Wang had been untied, and he had regained his usual scholarly grace.

Wei Hong frowned, increasingly incensed by Daohua’s repeated provocations. Could this woman truly believe that he wouldn’t dare to touch her just because she is the Crown Princess of Prince Residence?

Xiao Yeyang is dead; what does she amount to now?

Even the legitimate daughter of the Jiang Family had to bow her head and give herself to him. What right did this woman from a humble family have to be so arrogant in front of him?

Wei Hong managed to hold back his anger. He wasn’t afraid of Yan Yiyi, but he had to consider the Duke slightly, so he went on to explain more gently:

"Master Wang was in charge of the food supply. Once our soldiers went to the battlefield today, they started to have diarrhea. It is said to be caused by croton seeds mixed into the food, and we lost many soldiers today. The Duke, the Crown Princess, and Commander Ren were just handling Master Wang according to military laws."

"He deserves to die!"

Gu Jian’s voice was cold and detached.

Wei Hong looked at Gu Jian in some surprise, then met his icy gaze. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"For selfish gains, he disregarded the lives of our soldiers. Such a person deserves a thousand cuts!"

Wei Hong’s frown deepened, but he managed a smile, "The Duke is right, then this humble official will order someone to take Wang..."

Gu Jian interrupted him: "How do you know that it was Master Wang who put croton seeds in the food? Have you investigated? Or is someone abusing their power for personal gain?"

Wei Hong: "... this humble official has indeed investigated."

Just then, a soldier stepped forward: "Your Grace, I have something to say."

Gu Jian looked over and sensed the soldier’s fear of Wei Hong, so he reassured him: "Speak boldly what you know, this Duke assures you will be safe."

Hearing this, the soldier no longer hesitated, directly pointing at Ren Xing: "I saw it, it wasn’t Master Wang putting croton seeds into the food for the soldiers, it was Commander Ren."

At this, Ren Xing’s face changed dramatically, and he lunged toward the soldier: "You little bastard, you dare to slander me, you..."

Dongli grabbed Ren Xing’s wrist in one swift move and twisted it, causing Ren Xing to bend over in pain.

Wei Hong could no longer suppress his rage, and his face grew unsightly: "Your Grace, what is this? Ren Xing is the Commander of our Xiliang."

Gu Jian gave Wei Hong a cold look: "Didn’t you hear what this soldier said? It was him who put croton seeds in the soldiers’ food."

Wei Hong frowned: "Your Grace, I feel you should not simply take one person’s word for it."

Before he finished speaking, another soldier stood up.

"I also saw Commander Ren sneaking into the kitchen and putting a big bag of powder into the porridge for everyone."

"And me!"

"I saw it too."

One by one, seven or eight soldiers stood up, all guards of the kitchen and the granary.

Gu Jian looked at Wei Hong: "Commander Wei, do you have anything else to say?" Without waiting for a response, he turned to Cao Dan, "Commander Cao, before Yeyang left, he entrusted you with managing the army. What are you waiting for?"

Hearing this, Cao Dan immediately waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him tied up Ren Xing.

"How dare you, I am the Commander of Xiliang, an official of Second-rank from the Imperial Court, you dare to rebel?"
