Chapter 191: Visiting
Doctor Wang's action undoubtedly brought reputation to Cheng Weiyao's stall, and more and more people began to buy ginseng water.
Especially when people learned that the price was not as expensive as they had imagined, a buying frenzy broke out.
As the stall neared closing time, Cheng Weiyao couldn't stop grinning. Although ginseng was indeed a treasure, her purchasing cost was low. As long as she had red soil and points, she could get plenty of seeds.
If you keep up this momentum and run the business for a few more days, you can basically talk to the broker about the previous restaurant, bargain for a lower price, and try to get it for the full payment!
"What's the matter? Why don't you tell me what's going on?"
Cheng Weiyao was thinking happily in her heart when a familiar male voice came closer and closer, followed by a large group of soldiers with swords and knives.
The originally cheerful atmosphere on the street suddenly became eerily quiet.
Cheng Weiyao was half asleep yesterday, selling things and planting seven-star flowers, and her awareness of her surroundings had decreased significantly. Therefore, she had a hint of doubt in her eyes when she saw Lieutenant General Li's sudden visit.
"This deputy general, under the orders of General Liao Yu, is tracking down the assassin who infiltrated the military camp and stole military secrets. I ask for your cooperation in the search."
Lieutenant General Li saw Cheng Weiyao's confused look and tried to explain it to her kindly, but he sneered in his heart.
The fact that his military tent had been tampered with had been reported to the general early in the morning. If he had not drunk a little that day and had not noticed it, the search would have probably begun that night.
Being able to sneak into the military camp silently shows that this person is highly skilled in martial arts; the tent was torn open from under the bed, which shows that this person understands the structure of the military camp; after being discovered, he responded calmly, which shows that this person has mastered the art of disguise all night and has a calm and composed mind...
Piecing together these clues bit by bit, looking around, there are not many talented people who meet the requirements in the entire Qingshi Town, except Prince Qingping.
It's hard to say whether it was for the sake of accounts, but since he had deliberately made things difficult for Wen Chengyun before, it would be reasonable to say that it was deliberate revenge.
"Lieutenant General Li, are you kidding me? I'm just a woman, how could I possibly sneak into the military camp? I can't even find our base..."
Cheng Weiyao had an idea in her mind. It was most likely that Wen Chengyun's affairs had been exposed. After all, he was badly injured, so it was foreseeable that the aftermath work would not be done well.
But now Lieutenant General Li came to the door with his keen sense of smell, and Wen Chengyun had just survived and was recuperating from his injuries, so he could only bring the topic back to himself.
"Exactly. Isn't this bullying a woman? Last time, someone in the military inexplicably interfered with a case that the government was responsible for. Now they're doing this again. Is this because they have a grudge against the stall owner's wife?"
"If the stall owner's wife, with her tiny body, could have sneaked into the military camp, our Qingshi Town would have been lost long ago. You can't even find a better reason to find fault with her. I'm really shocked. You're just picking on her!"
The arrest notice was posted on the city wall yesterday, and the onlookers all knew about it. According to the clues provided in the notice, the other party is at least a martial arts expert.
My aunt's stall was the closest to Cheng Weiyao's. Although she hadn't spoken, she could already discern some clues from her fragmentary words. Most importantly, she hadn't seen her eldest grandson, Wen Chengyun, from morning till night yesterday...
"You all have too much free time, don't you? If you dare to criticize the general, I'll arrest you all and subject you to military court!"
Seeing that he was being besieged, Lieutenant General Li's face turned very grim.
A bunch of clueless people. I had only spoken a few words, and they were easily led astray by that enchanting woman, Cheng Weiyao. When did I ever say I suspected Cheng Weiyao was the one who infiltrated the military camp?!
As soon as Lieutenant General Li spoke, the soldiers behind him drew their swords in protest. The silver light reflected by the rows of cold weapons silenced the people who had originally been denouncing him.
"I won't be polite with you. I just want to ask, where is Wen Chengyun? He is your husband. Don't tell me that you, his wife, don't know."
Lieutenant General Li glanced at the angry but unspoken eyes of the people with satisfaction, and slowly sat down on the stool placed at the stall.
His wolf king skin was a cover, specifically targeting clever people. The poison was purchased by Lieutenant General Li through extensive connections and money, specifically to silence those who were both interested and intelligent in checking the accounts.
The mechanism of the poison arrow has been activated, and the assassin has definitely been poisoned. Almost no one in the world can cure this poison. If Wen Chengyun is the assassin, he will definitely be in great danger.
Even if it can be suppressed with superb internal strength, as long as the blood in the human body is still flowing, it is only a matter of time for the Seven Star Poison to circulate in the body.
Lieutenant General Li had already inquired about the news before leading the team to find Cheng Weiyao. Almost no one had seen Wen Chengyun in Qingshi Town throughout the whole day yesterday.
Isn't Wen Chengyun the one who values his family the most? How could he not go home? Unless he has a home he can't go back to...
"Deputy General Li, please be reasonable. Last time, you suspected my husband for no reason. If it weren't for the Governor's keen observation, I would have almost become a widow thanks to you. Are you attracted to me? Do you really want to kill my man?"
There was a little sweat on the palms of Cheng Weiyao's sleeves, but she quickly rejected Lieutenant General Li's question.
I don't know how Wen Chengyun's injuries are recovering. If I hand over my cheap husband with his old injuries still not healed, at this time, judging by the behavior of Lieutenant General Li and his barbarians, he will definitely be tortured into confessing.
She compromised too easily last time, and the exposure to the sun almost brought Wen Chengyun death!
Cheng Weiyao's words made the people around look at Lieutenant General Li with contempt. Lieutenant General Li's face instantly became even uglier. If there weren't so many people talking, he would have wanted to strangle Cheng Weiyao, the talkative woman, to death.
"Don't flatter yourself! Even if all the women in the world are dead, I'm not interested in a slut. You can be stubborn, but if I can't find the answer from you, I'll naturally look elsewhere!"
Lieutenant General Li's brows were furrowed so much that they could pinch a fly to death. Seeing that the situation was turning in Cheng Weiyao's favor, he immediately waved his sleeves and planned to lead his troops away.
This woman, Cheng Weiyao, will use the people's mouths to put pressure on others. She is cunning and difficult to deal with.
At worst, we can start with the family in the courtyard, young and old. Although they may not know where Wen Chengyun is, they are very useful bargaining chips to threaten Wen Chengyun or Cheng Weiyao.
Cheng Weiyao secretly felt despicable in her heart. She really underestimated the moral bottom line of Lieutenant General Li and his group. If this matter were to come to her family, it would be difficult to resolve.
"Deputy General Li, wait!"
Cheng Weiyao asked to keep him, but her mind was working rapidly to come up with a suitable excuse for Wen Chengyun.
