Dad, Did You Study Today?

Chapter 188 Harvest

Seeing the soldier return empty-handed, the only small flame of hope in Su Heng's heart was immediately extinguished.

"Where's the warhawk?"

His eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse and anxious.

The soldier gasped, "Master, not only have we not found the war eagle, our place has also disappeared!"

That place naturally refers to the mountain courtyard where the Duke of Zhen Guo raised his private army.

Such a big yard, so many people, missing?

Su Heng looked at the soldiers as if he couldn't react.

Very few people in the army knew about the private army. The soldiers did not dare to say it openly. They only said: "My subordinates have searched everywhere and can't find it."

The Janissaries did not bring back the war eagle, and others who were sent out did not recover the other eagles.

Gastrodia powder can only be made from eagle bones.

A group of people looked at Duke Zhen and were helpless. They could only watch as the pustules all over his body burst and died.

The pustules were huge, and every time one burst, pus would spurt out and splash in all directions.

Yellow pus almost covered Duke Zhen Guo.

Who could have imagined that a person who was arrogant and domineering all his life, disrupting court games and wars, and even the emperor did not take him seriously, would die like this.

Frustrated, disgusting.

The moment before his death, Duke Zhen Guo suddenly opened his eyes.

Su Heng was so happy that she thought her condition was getting better, so she rushed towards him and burst into tears, "Father!"

Duke Zhen Guo opened his eyes wide and looked at the people around him.

His lips moved, obviously trying to say something.

But the moment Su Heng's ear touched Duke Zhen's lips, Duke Zhen suddenly saw Shen Li in the crowd.

Shen Li's cold face faced him, and the moment he met his gaze, a flash of sarcasm rose from the corner of his mouth.

Duke Zhen Guo took a deep breath and then died.

Due to the sudden and violent mood swings just before his death, three pustules on his body burst open.

Thick yellow pus splashed all over Su Heng's face and ears.

At the moment when Duke Zhen Guo breathed his last, a shadowy figure suddenly entered the camp and reported back beside Shen Li, "Sir, I have found out that the person who poisoned him is a general named Wang Dalong in the army."

He said this as if he had no idea who Wang Dalong was.

But before the words could be heard, the house that was originally silent and sad suddenly felt like three thunderbolts were thrown.

It exploded.

Wang Dalong himself was in the room.

"You're talking nonsense! How could I poison the coach!"

Wang Dalong's face turned green with anger.

Many generals around him looked at him with doubtful eyes.

When Duke Zhen Guo died, Su Heng was stimulated.

As soon as he heard the news, anger filled his chest, and his first reaction was to pull out the sword of Lord Zhen Guo hanging nearby.

He raised his sword and stabbed Wang Dalong.

"I kill you!"

Wang Dalong was so frightened that he immediately ran away.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Don't fall for Shadow's tricks. Shadow is the emperor's lackey. They are eager to provoke us. How could I poison the coach!"

Shen Li said coldly from one side: "Then can you explain why everyone else was there yesterday but you were not in the military camp?"

Wang Dalong suddenly choked after hearing Shen Li's words.

Su Heng thought he had nothing to say, and became more and more angry.

Wang Dalong looked at Shen Li bitterly.

Yesterday when Duke Zhen Guo was assassinated, he was not in the camp, but the reason for his absence could not be explained to Su Heng.

At that time, he was in the room of one of Su Heng's concubines.

How does he explain it?

Tell Su Heng that he slept with his woman and then ask for his forgiveness?

Damn Shen Li, he must have known about his inside story and knew that he couldn't explain it, so he put the assassination and poisoning issue on him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down. Think about it carefully, how could I assassinate and poison the coach? I have been with the coach for more than 20 years!"

"Then where were you yesterday?" Su Heng asked in a roar.

"me."

"Yesterday he was the assassin. Of course he couldn't tell where he was, because he was assassinating the Duke of Guo and missed yesterday. Today, in order to kill the Duke of Guo, he took Gastrodia powder even though he knew War Eagle was not in the army."

Shen Li said unhurriedly but loudly.

These generals in the army have all followed the Duke of Zhen for many years.

Watching the Duke of Zhen die in front of their eyes, and now the most suspected murderer is beside them, the anger in their hearts was suddenly ignited.

Not only Su Heng raised his sword towards Wang Dalong, many generals also joined in.

Seeing that he couldn't explain clearly here, Wang Dalong refused to do anything and simply turned around and ran away.

What he wanted was to wait until everyone calmed down before he would come back and explain.

In addition, he needed to find out why he fell asleep in Su Heng's concubine's room yesterday.

Someone must be harming him!

Wang Dalong turned around and ran away. The soldiers outside didn't know what happened for a while, and no one dared to stop him.

When Su Heng gave the order to arrest Wang Dalong, Wang Dalong had already galloped out of the military camp.

"Come here! Chase him! He will be killed alive or dead! I will chop him alive!"

Su Heng dropped the sharp sword in his hand to the ground and gave hysterical orders.

At this moment, he concluded that Wang Dalong was absconding out of fear of crime.

The order was given, and someone immediately took the order and set off.

The noisy camp once again returned to its previous dead silence.

The Duke of Zhen Guo died with abscesses all over his body.

Su Heng ordered the military doctor to wash him clean, change his clothes, and prepare to put him in the coffin and bury him.

Having just suffered the loss of his father, Su Heng seemed to have aged more than ten years.

He looked at Shen Li, his red eyes filled with hatred and boredom.

"There is no such thing as reselling military supplies in our Zhenshuo Army. At least, my father and I are upright and honest. Lord Shen wants to investigate, and it's all up to you. But now I have to take the coffin back to Beijing."

After saying that, Su Heng flicked his sleeves and strode out.

Shen Li looked at Su Heng's back, and there was a haze in his deep eyes.

He never thought that coming to Zhenshuo Army today would bring such a harvest.

Yesterday, he didn't kill the Duke of Zhenguo with one blow. Today, he originally planned to stimulate the Duke of Zhenguo by investigating the case.

Unexpectedly.

A bowl of mutton soup with ginseng and Tianma powder solved the problem directly.

I really have to thank Zhou Huaishan for being poisoned and Zhou Qing for bringing the war eagle back inexplicably.

I really want to thank Zhou Qing and her family.

As for Wang Dalong, he had arranged it long ago.

Yesterday, Wang Dalong was arranged to meet Su Heng's concubine in private. Today, Wang Dalong was arranged to be found out and speechless. Later, Shadow will be arranged to capture Wang Dalong directly, creating the illusion that Wang Dalong was rescued by his accomplices.

In this way, not only did Wang Dalong's assassination become a fact, but Su Heng also completely distrusted the generals of the Zhenshuo Army.

The leader does not trust his subordinates, and the subordinates will naturally be disappointed.

In this way, it will be much easier to separate Su Heng from the military power of the Zhenshuo Army in the future.

As for the Tianma powder in the mutton, it seems that the entire Zhenshuo Army is unaware of it.

As long as the excuse is that Wang Dalong poisoned many muttons to ensure that there is no risk of error, it is enough for the Zhenshuo Army to destroy all the remaining mutton by themselves.

Once the Zhenshuo Army is destroyed, the real poisoner will definitely make a move.
