Chapter 169 Lin Tingfeng was almost beaten to death
That's more than 7,000 lives, so Zhuang Shihan naturally couldn't admit it.
Her eyes flashed, and she blurted out, "The one who secretly recruited the troops that day was a deputy general in the army, and he was punished afterwards. What does this have to do with Brother Feng?"
As if regaining her confidence, Zhuang Shihan said sarcastically, "Since Brother Feng dared to go deep into the enemy camp alone, he must have made thorough preparations. Even without your self-initiative, he would definitely be able to return safely with the medicine I gave him."
Qiu Zongping didn't know whether Lin Tingfeng had this ability.
But what Zhuang Shihan said just now really irritated him.
Qiu Zongping clenched his fists, listening to the "crackling" sound of dislocated bones in his ears, and a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes.
Just as everyone was about to take action, a cold voice rang out, "Princess, could you please explain to me what it means to act on your own initiative?"
Zhuang Shihan was just anxious to pass the blame and said that because she was so angry that she lost her mind. Now that she has calmed down a little, she feels a little regretful.
When she heard Mo Jinchuan's voice, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on her back, and she thought to herself, "It's over."
Prince Jin had a mediocre impression of her to begin with, and after witnessing her arrogant side just now, he didn't know how to view her in the future.
This is not the most important thing.
People say that he is so smart that he is almost a demon, and it is feared that he cannot be easily fooled.
In just a few seconds, Zhuang Shihan had already imagined countless ways of answering in her mind, and finally chose to show weakness first.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she pointed at Lin Tingfeng on the ground, saying accusingly, "The prince is finally here. If you hadn't come, Brother Feng would have been beaten to death."
"Answer my king's question."
Zhuang Shihan's body stiffened. She bit her lower lip, a trace of annoyance flashing in her eyes. She said stubbornly, "I'm just a military doctor. If Your Highness wants to know the details, he can ask the person in the camp who specializes in recording the battle situation."
Seeing that she was trying to clear him of all blame with just one simple sentence, the young general became anxious and blurted out, "Your Highness, that's not what she said just now. The brothers are all listening!"
Although the dozens of people present did not hold high official positions, they were all loyal and righteous people. Seeing that Mo Jinchuan intended to investigate the matter, they immediately became excited.
According to the size of their positions, they listed in front of Zhuang Shihan the unfair things the two of them had done in the border town.
As for the consequences...
Anyway, the prince has returned and will always take charge of them. So what if he has to risk his life?
The injustice they have suffered in the past two years cannot be in vain!
"Right after taking office, Mr. Lin used the veterans in the army to establish his authority, and his familiar brothers were replaced one by one."
"He's a nepotist, not to mention his own lack of talent. He's also petty and won't tolerate his brothers stepping up. Several promising young men who could easily take on ten others were sent to polish weapons in the warehouse."
"Zhuang Shihan isn't a good person either. Those who usually follow her around and flatter her are the good ones. People like us who are rough and can't talk are not even worthy of being asked to bandage her hands!"
"A general and a military doctor, they spend all day talking about love instead of doing their duty. Your Highness, why don't you ask the soldiers under you what they have done for the army?"
Zhuang Shihan's expression grew uglier as she listened, but she still managed to force herself to speak stubbornly, "You can throw dirty water on Brother Feng all you want, but the prince will make his own judgment."
Just hearing this, people who didn't know would really think that they were the ones who were wronged.
But Mo Jinchuan knew best what kind of soldiers he brought with him.
At first, he was worried that Lin Tingfeng was unfamiliar with the place as he had just arrived in the border town, so he left two trusted confidants to help him before returning to Beijing. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he got his foothold, he fabricated a crime and sent them away.
The road to the border town is long, so even if the fastest carrier pigeon goes back to deliver the letter, everything will be settled by the time the letter reaches the capital.
Mo Jinchuan had previously thought that Lin Tingfeng was a cunning person who loved to scheme for personal gain, but he did not see through that he was such a selfish and self-willed person in his bones.
Unfortunately, it was too late when he found out. His beloved married him, and most of his old subordinates were transferred away, allowing this sinister villain to gain real power by chance.
If Xu Xiao had not rushed over from southern Xinjiang to take over and promoted previously overlooked talents in the past few months, the border town would probably still be ruled by Lin Tingfeng alone!
"Is Your Highness going to believe the slander of these people?" Zhuang Shihan couldn't wait for Mo Jinchuan to express his opinion, and she couldn't help feeling uneasy.
At this moment, she wanted to kick Lin Tingfeng and wake him up so that she could say a few words for him.
How could she understand the mess on the battlefield?
The more Zhuang Shihan thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but curse Lin Tingfeng in her heart for being incompetent. He was drunk and didn't know how to walk back, but had to run into these people's guns.
But the two of them are now like one, and no matter how unwilling she is to take care of this matter, she must not let anyone find out the truth.
Especially Mo Jinchuan!
Given his personality, if he really knew the truth behind the night attack, he would definitely follow the clues to find out what happened two years ago.
When the truth comes out and Lin Tingfeng is beheaded, what good will happen to her?
Thinking of this, Zhuang Shihan couldn't wait to say: "These people are incompetent. They can't do anything to Liang Jun and can only take their anger out on their own people. They are deliberately trying to discredit Brother Feng out of jealousy!
As for what they just said about frame-up and exclusion, it is completely nonsense.
If Brother Feng really wanted to do this, he should have eradicated the problem completely and left no room for future trouble. How could they have the opportunity to stir up trouble here?"
Hearing her say such vicious words without changing her expression, Mo Jinchuan's dark eyes were filled with disgust, and he asked coldly: "Do you borrow his courage?"
Zhuang Shihan was stunned, and then realized that he meant that Lin Tingfeng didn't have the courage, and her face couldn't help but look ugly.
No one would like to be looked down upon by the man they like, and she is no exception.
If someone else said such words shamelessly, Zhuang Shihan would definitely refute them mercilessly and ask the other person to take a piss and look at himself.
But he happened to be Mo Jinchuan...
He was a child of destiny and a young talent. He had made great military achievements while still in his teens. Even many veteran generals like Xu Xiao could not help but express admiration when they mentioned him.
If his legs had not been crippled, Lin Tingfeng would not be able to catch up with him even if he praised him.
When she thought about such an outstanding man who would rather marry a dull and boring girl from a wealthy family than even look at her, Zhuang Shihan was almost going crazy with jealousy.
She bit her lower lip lightly and questioned angrily, "Brother Feng has been beaten like this by a few subordinates under the pretext of sparring. The prince didn't say that his successor treated him, but instead believed these people's one-sided words and doubted his character. Isn't he afraid that this will chill the hearts of the soldiers?"
Mo Jinchuan's thin lips moved slightly, and he asked with a smile, "Why, Princess Shihan isn't a military doctor?"
He paused, then changed the subject and said, "Or rather, even General Lin doesn't deserve your treatment."
