The lucky little prince's doting wife

Chapter 440 Friendship Betrayed
The people sent by the eldest son to investigate Qinglong Mountain did not reveal their whereabouts, but the guards were very careful because there were so many people there, but they were still discovered by the other party's secret sentry.The other party had no time to escape, so he blocked the entrance and two vents of the cave. A fire choked all the craftsmen in the cave to death.

"Choke to death?" Lin Deyi asked.

The eldest son: "It's poisonous smoke. It's impossible to burn everyone to death in a short time, but poisonous smoke can."

Lin Deyi was stunned.

Eldest Young Master: "They should have been prepared from the beginning, that's why they were able to move so quickly."

Lin Deyi was still stunned and said, "Poison smoke?"

The eldest son said: "Yes."

Lin Deyi said: "The craftsman doesn't know how to run away?"

The eldest son: "There is only one exit: the entrance of the cave. Anyone who runs out will be killed by the guards."

Lin Deyi: "What about the guards?"

The eldest son: "They were killed by the imperial army. They should be dead soldiers. Those who were injured committed suicide themselves."

Lin Deyi: "Are the Imperial Guards just going to watch them die? Can't they stop them?"

My brother asked this question, how could the Imperial Army not stop him?Are you calling the Forbidden Army stupid and incapable of doing things, or are you trying to say that they are collaborators with the enemy?Do you want the people in the Forbidden Army to hear what their brother said and not come over to fight?
But this is his biological brother. No matter how absurd the question is, the eldest son still has to explain patiently, "The imperial army stopped him, but these guards have medicine bags embedded in their mouths."

The medicine bag containing poison was embedded in the gap between the guard's teeth. If he wanted to seek death, all he had to do was clench his teeth. This was a standard way for a dead soldier to die. Who could stop him?

Lin Deyi asked again as if he didn't believe in evil: "Is there anyone alive?"

The eldest son: "We searched the mountain and there are no survivors."

Lin Deyi began to be in a daze.

The eldest son: "There are more than 100 craftsmen and 30 guards."

"So many people?" Lin Deyi whispered.

The eldest son: "If you want to make weapons and armor, these people are very few."

Lin Deyi: "Where are these craftsmen from?"

Eldest Young Master: "It's impossible to find out now. These people are all young and strong, and they don't have the marks of prisoners on their bodies. They are most likely refugees, or they were captured in Qinglong Mountain."

"But with so many people in Qinglong Mountain, how come no one noticed them?" Lin Deyi asked.

This was the first question Lin Deyi asked. The eldest son felt a little relieved. His younger brother was quite clever, right?

Lin Deyi then asked: "Is it Wei Shengwen?"

The eldest young master whispered: "It should be him."

Who would build an arsenal in the mountains outside the capital if they didn't want to rebel?There is only one suspect, and that is Wei Shoufu.

Lin Deyi hurriedly said: "Why don't you arrest him?"

The eldest son asked in return: "Where is the evidence?"

Everyone in Qinglong Mountain is dead. Not only has nothing been found to prove their identity, but nothing related to Wei Shoufu has been found.

Lin Deyi blurted out: "Can't you get one out?"

What rules should we tell Wei Shengwen now?This person is bent on rebelling.

The eldest son: "Wouldn't this just allow people in the Wei party to raise an army, one to avenge Wei Shengwen, and the other to kill those of us who have been slandering the emperor?"

The evidence can be forged, and the eldest son can guarantee that he can make this incriminating evidence flawless, but the current method is not the best method.

What you want to do is to tell the people in the Wei Party scattered all over the country that the Holy One is unreasonable and he is going to kill Wei Shengwen and attack the Wei Party.This is forcing people in the Wei party to rebel. Then isn't Emperor Xuan Jing's forbearance all these years in vain?
The eldest son pulled a chair to his side and asked Lin Deyi to sit down.

Lin Deyi sat down next to his eldest brother and asked: "It has been a year since the incident in Qinglong Mountain. Where are the weapons and armor that have been made?"

The eldest son: "There are a group of things in the cave that were not transported away. The Holy One ordered people to check the others." Lin Deyi: "Who did the Holy One send?"

The eldest son looked at Lin Deyi.

Lin Deyi: "Can't say? Then forget it."

The eldest son looked at Lin Deyi helplessly. You have already said everything, so what else can I say?You can't ask something that shouldn't be asked, don't you?

Lin Deyi: "So this is what happened now? Everyone is dead. There is nothing we can do against Wei Shengwen. We can't find the weapons and armor that he made for the time being."

Lin Deyi's conclusion was spot on. The eldest son said: "This is the only way to go now. There are still benefits. At least no one will be making weapons and armor for Wei Shengwen in Qinglong Mountain anymore."

Lin Deyi: "There is a royal paddock in the mountain. Shouldn't someone inspect it? Why has no one noticed anything unusual in Qinglong Mountain for a year?"

The noise of blacksmithing couldn't be too small, so why didn't anyone notice it?

"Even if there is no paddock, there should be someone patrolling the mountain, right?" Lin Deyi said again, in the suburbs of Beijing, under the emperor's feet, how could someone be so careless?

The eldest son said: "That's why we arrested a group of people."

Lin Deyi: "What? Who?"

The eldest son: "The people responsible for patrolling the mountain, and the people responsible for the Qinglong Mountain paddock."

Lin Deyi: "Who is it?"

The eldest son: "The person in charge of the paddock is Prince Yu."

Lin Deyi had never seen this old prince in real life, but he knew that he was the emperor's uncle. He had no son but only one daughter, and he was sent to marry him. Therefore, the old prince was able to survive the royal heirloom twice.

"Is he in charge of the Qinglong Mountain paddock?" Lin Deyi said: "He, he is Wei Shengwen's accomplice? What is he trying to do?"

After hearing Xie Jiuhuan ask this question many times, Lin Deyi also learned that the old prince had no children, which was equivalent to being childless. He followed Wei Shengwen around, what was he trying to do?

"Can Wei Shengwen still let him be the emperor?" Lin Deyi asked.

The eldest son glared at Lin Deyi and reminded: "Be careful what you say."

This is in the palace, Lin Deyi, don't seek death.

Lin Deyi: "What is he trying to do?"

Eldest Young Master: "You have to ask him and Wei Shengwen. The Holy One has sent Feng Bao to interrogate him."

Lin Deyi: "Then who is responsible for patrolling the mountain?"

The eldest son: "Ningyuan Hou Jiangde."

Lin Deyi was stunned again.

The capital has a special army that patrols the mountains. One army is selected as the main general by the former commander of the imperial army. The other army is led by Ningyuan Hou Jiang De, and the one in charge of Qinglong Mountain is Jiang De.

"How could it be?" Lin Deyi muttered to himself.

Eldest Young Master: "He cannot escape the blame."

Lin Deyi: "Is he also a member of the Wei Party?"

Marquis Ningyuan was obviously a friend of their father, otherwise he would not have become friends with the third and fourth sons of the Jiang family.

The eldest son: "Tiger, please remember one thing, absolute loyalty does not exist in this world."

Lin Deyi: "What, what?"

Because of Ningyuan Hou Jiangde, his eldest brother now doubts everyone?
The eldest son: "Jiang De went to Wei Shengwen only because Wei Shengwen could give him benefits that were enough to make him betray his official alliance with his father and their many years of friendship."

Lin Deyi: "..."

So what kind of benefits did Wei Shengwen give Marquis Ning Yuan?
