Chapter 187 Investigation
The only people who knew his father was injured were the assassins and the soldiers!
But this Gastrodia powder was mixed in the mutton soup and brought to his father to drink, and the war eagle who saved his life was not here at the moment.
Every single one of them, Su Heng found the coincidence outrageous.
What a bullshit coincidence is this!
It was clearly someone who did it deliberately.
Shen Li's lackey was right, he was committing the crime internally!
"Except for eagle bones, is there nothing else that can be used as a substitute for medicine?" Su Heng asked angrily and anxiously.
The old man shook his head, "The only antidote for Gastrodia Powder is the eagle bone."
Su Heng
That kind of anger is like a scratch from the sole of the foot, then goes backwards and goes straight to the Tianling Gai.
"Somebody come!"
Su Heng's soldiers immediately stepped forward.
Su Heng quickly ordered, "Go and bring the war eagle back quickly, and ask a hundred people to go out and search nearby to see who has an eagle, and bring it back to me!"
The soldiers took the order, turned around and left.
He followed Su Heng to the private army maintained by the Duke, which was not too far away.
As soon as the soldiers left, Su Heng looked at the generals in front of him with a cold expression.
"I won't hide it from you, War Eagle is not in the army."
When he finished speaking, all the generals were in an uproar.
Su Heng looked at the expressions of everyone in front of him with sharp eyes, trying to find any clues.
However, no.
Su Heng slowly turned to Shen Li, glanced at Shen Li, and raised his chin slightly with arrogance.
"Our Zhenshuo Army has internal affairs to deal with, please move Master Shen!"
This is an eviction order.
Shen Li did not move and said, "I am better at handling cases than you."
Su Heng sneered, and the muscles on the cheekbones on his face twitched due to the anger in his heart, "No need!"
"Are you afraid of shaking the morale of the military? Or are you afraid that you will find someone who shouldn't be investigated and you won't be able to deal with the consequences?"
Shen Li looked at Su Heng provocatively.
"If my guess is correct, if War Eagle cannot be found, Zhen Guogong will be hopeless. If I were the perpetrator, since I have done so much, I will never let you find War Eagle. After all, this is the land of Pingzhou , there is no flying eagle for you to catch!”
"you"
Su Heng clenched her fists and glared at Shen Li, but had to admit that Shen Li was right.
At this moment, the barracks door was opened.
Two shadows escorted a soldier in from outside.
The movement caused everyone in the room to look.
When Su Heng saw his soldiers being escorted in by shadows, he became even more furious.
"It's not your turn to intervene in the affairs of our Zhenshuo Army. Shen Li, you are too involved!"
Shen Li said: "I was ordered to investigate the reselling of military supplies!"
"Don't spit on anyone!"
"Is it me who is slandering others, or is it someone with a guilty conscience?"
After a pause, Shen Li glanced at Lord Zhen Guo and then looked at Su Heng aggressively.
"If I were you, I would definitely not stop you at this moment. Otherwise, if Duke Zhen's medicine is ineffective and he helps his spirit return to the capital, you don't want to be secretly investigated during Duke Zhen's mourning period!"
Here, this is the territory of Zhenshuo Army.
Available in Kyoto
That was the emperor's territory, Shen Li's territory.
When the time comes, if Shadow is really so heartbroken that he causes a funeral, he will really have nothing to do.
Can.
If Shen Li is asked to investigate now, with Shen Li's methods, he will definitely be able to find out what's wrong with military supplies.
what to do.
In Su Heng's mind, there was a handover between heaven and man.
Right now, all we can do is hope that War Eagle can be brought back quickly.
otherwise
Su Heng took a deep breath and quickly made up his mind.
Otherwise, he can only introduce a scapegoat and put the matter to rest in the military.
Once his father helps Ling return to Beijing, he must not mention this matter again in Kyoto.
Having made up his mind, Su Heng looked at the soldier who was escorted in by the shadow.
"what happened?"
A shadow said: "Gastrodia powder was found on him."
With that said, he threw a bag of Gastrodia powder at Su Heng's feet.
The old man on Su Heng's side paused for a moment, then stepped forward to pick up the oil paper bag, unfolded it and smelled it, then turned to Su Heng and reported back, "It is indeed Gastrodia Powder, very pure."
Su Heng's anger seemed to explode.
He lunged forward and picked up the soldier.
"Who ordered you?"
Gritting his teeth, his face was ferocious.
The soldier was so frightened that he was paralyzed. He looked at Su Heng in horror and shook his head vigorously, "It's not me, it's not me."
Not only was he too frightened, but Su Heng squeezed his neck too hard.
The soldier trembled and shook his head a few times. Suddenly his neck tilted and he died.
Shen Li looked at Su Heng coldly.
"This is the only clue at present. Thanks to the crown prince, the clue has been broken."
The anger in Su Heng's heart became even more intense as Xiao Bing died.
He waved his hand and the soldier fell limply to the ground. Su Heng kicked his body angrily a few times as if to vent his anger.
Although the soldier didn't speak.
But he was completely convinced that someone in the army deliberately poisoned him.
Smashing his fist on the table on one side, Su Heng glared at the generals in front of him.
"In the case of poisoning, everyone in the military is suspected."
In normal times, these generals would definitely be furious.
They have been with Duke Zhen Guo through life and death for many years, how could they be labeled like this.
But now, there is a high chance that Duke Zhen Guo will die, and Gastrodia Powder is right in front of him.
No one dares to make trouble.
A general cupped his fists and said, "I beg the Crown Prince to conduct a thorough investigation. We must find out this wolf-hearted thing!"
Other generals realized it later and shouted: "Yes, investigate thoroughly! Find this bastard!"
Shen Li said: "Sir, do you want to investigate yourself at the risk of offending others? Or should I do it?"
Su Heng's mouth twitched.
He said reluctantly: "You investigate."
"Go and investigate."
Shen Li immediately gave the order.
The two shadows who brought the soldier in turned around and dragged the soldier's body out.
Of course, the soldier was not scared to death or pinched to death by Su Heng.
It was just that the shadows poisoned him when they dragged him in.
Is this life innocent?
Innocent!
But there is no better and more effective way!
What's more, the shadows have never been soft-hearted.
The soldier was dragged out, and the shadows brought by Shen Li began to investigate the case in a big way.
On the surface, it was to investigate the case of the assassination of the Duke of Zhenguo, but in fact, it was to find out the situation of meat in the army.
The reason why Su Heng agreed to let the shadows take over the investigation was just to delay time.
If his personal soldiers could bring back the war eagle, his father's life could be saved. No matter what evidence of military supplies trafficking the shadow found, his father could make those evidence pale and powerless.
The Zhenshuo Army will always be his Su family's Zhenshuo Army, and no one can move it.
But if the war eagle cannot be brought back in time, his father will die of poison.
Then Shen Li's investigation of the case will just let him go with the flow and use Shen Li's hand to find out who is poisoning his father.
Shen Li knew Su Heng's plan.
So, the shadow slowly investigated.
Until
three hours later, the Duke of Zhenguo was dying, and the swollen lumps all over his body began to rupture and pus.
All the doctors in the army came, but they were all helpless.
Just when the Duke of Zhenguo was on the verge of death, the personal soldiers sent by Su Heng ran back to the tent.
