Chapter 102 People’s hearts are complicated, you still need to practice
Since the soldiers want to search, let them search.
It can be found out that Xiangying has the same surname as them.
She took the children out, and many exiled prisoners were driven out and gathered nearby.
Xiangying hugged Xiang Xiuxiu, stood in front of the crowd, and yawned.
All the women gathered behind her, looking warily at the soldiers who were looting everywhere.
The pots they used for cooking were thrown on the ground, and the tent cloth they had finally obtained was trampled into black mud.
Xie Chen, the military supervisor Wei, and a military advisor sent by the deputy general stood by and watched with serious expressions.
General Ke is still recuperating in the camp because he broke his tendons and has not come yet.
After searching the tents, the soldiers reported: "We found nothing."
The military advisor narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Xiangying and the group of female relatives.
"They haven't been searched yet. If each of them hides a little, that's a lot. Strip them all!"
The soldiers came over immediately, and the skinny monkey watched from the side, all very anxious.
He looked at Jie Chen, but to his surprise, Jie Chen was still standing there calmly, with no intention of speaking.
Xiangying raised his arms to protect the women behind him.
"We are wearing thin clothes, and it's easy to tell whether we have anything hidden. You said you have searched the tents, but you didn't know there are still two places you haven't visited."
The military advisor frowned and said, "How is that possible? We have already searched all the tents around here. What else do you want to quibble about?"
Xiangying looked at the military supervisor Wei and Jie Chen and said, "Why didn't you check the tent where the military supervisor lived? If one of your own took it, wouldn't that be considered stealing?"
The military supervisor was startled, and pretended to be gentle: "No matter how brave we are, we dare not steal the deputy general's things. Besides, there is nowhere to hide so many jewels."
Xiangying's red lips were cold: "Hearing is not believing, seeing is believing. If someone stole something and wanted to put the blame on us, wouldn't the deputy general be made a fool of?"
The military advisor was the deputy general's confidant, and he actually felt that what Xiangying said made some sense.
Thinking of the deputy general's treasures, he would always keep them in his tent before sleeping and look at them before he could fall asleep.
If he can really find it, he will have made a great contribution.
In just a moment, the military advisor's mind turned over and over and he had an idea.
He looked at the military supervisor and said, "In that case, let's have someone go to your tent and conduct a thorough investigation, so that this ignorant female prisoner will give up."
The military supervisor bowed and said, "Of course I am not afraid of being checked. I am willing to set an example myself. My camp is open to the deputy general."
The military advisor nodded, then turned to look at Xiangying and threatened, "The deputy general has issued an order. If the thief is found, he will be torn into pieces by five horses! Even if we don't find him, it must be you criminals who stole it, and you will not escape punishment."
Even after these harsh words were spoken, Xiangying remained expressionless.
The tent of the military supervisor was nearby. The military advisor led his men to search. The military supervisor turned around and expressed his determination:
"Military Advisor, remember to turn over the dirt in my tent. I didn't take anything, so I'm not afraid of being checked. You're welcome to turn it upside down!"
However, everyone stared at his back, their eyes slightly widened, and started whispering.
Even Jie Chen began to frown.
He patted the military supervisor on the shoulder and lowered his voice: "Where did you get it from?"
The military supervisor looked back in confusion: "What is that?"
"The beads on your back!"
"Back?" Military Supervisor Wei grabbed the back with his backhand and indeed found a handful of beads.
He took it off and saw that it was a long necklace of 108 gold beads with Sanskrit prayers engraved on it.
The military supervisor was stunned, his eyes widened: "This, this is not mine!"
He just came out of the tent and stood here. Who stuck to his back?
If the military inspector hadn't turned around, no one would have known that there was a string of gold beads stuck to his back.
Xiangying sneered, "Didn't you say you didn't steal it? What is this? So many gold beads, they must be very expensive, could they be the heirloom of Wei Jianjun?"
Qi Fengyi raised his voice in the direction of the military advisor: "Who knows if it is his own? What if the stolen one belongs to the deputy general?"
Tao Xue echoed sarcastically: "It's okay, it's okay. General Wei just said that he would never steal anything. This must have appeared suddenly."
Xie Chen looked at Xiang Ying, and a hint of helplessness flashed across his handsome eyes.
"Don't make trouble." He urged the military supervisor, "Put the things away first, and we'll talk later."
However, at this time, the military advisor had already returned with his men.
Guard General Wei was afraid of being discovered, so he hid the gold beads in his crotch in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw that the soldiers behind the military advisor were carrying three large boxes.
When General Wei saw the military advisor's gloomy expression, he had a bad feeling.
"This is……"
"General Wei, go explain to the deputy general why there are three boxes of treasure buried under your tent, and they happen to be the things that the deputy general lost!"
The military supervisor was completely dumbfounded and shook his head desperately: "No! It really wasn't me! I didn't steal it."
Xiangying clicked his tongue, "Don't lie, there are gold beads hidden in the crotch of my pants."
The military advisor stared: "Really?"
He took a step forward and grabbed Wei Jianjun's pants. Not sure if he grabbed the wrong person, Wei Jianjun cried out in pain.
Immediately, he fell to the ground with a pale face and trembled, while the military advisor pulled out a string of golden beads.
The military advisor was shocked: "General Wei, the deputy general treated you very well, how dare you steal things! Did you also transport the food and grass? Tell me!"
The military supervisor's voice was trembling: "I really didn't..."
Xiangying blinked her slender eyelashes and uttered a confused question from her red lips.
"You didn't steal it, so why did you hide the gold beads?"
This time, Wei Jianjun's voice was shaking with anger: "Didn't you ask me to hide that?"
He pointed at Jie Chen and said, "Okay, okay... I understand. You and Xiangying are in cahoots. You must have transported the stuff away and you want to frame me!"
Xie Chen frowned: "This matter has nothing to do with me, and we two have no conspiracy."
Guard Supervisor changed his attitude and cursed viciously: "Jie Chen, you have done a lot of stupid things for her along the way. Maybe it was you who did it!"
The military advisor said indifferently: "Don't argue anymore, go to the deputy general and explain it yourself!"
He directly sent people to take Wei Jianjun and Jie Chen away.
After they left, Skinny Monkey came over and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, why do you seem to dislike General Wei? He has been through a lot with us, right?"
Xiangying laughed to himself: "People's hearts are complicated. You still need to practice."
After saying that, she turned around and took the children to have breakfast.
Xiangying couldn't tell Jie Chen how to deal with a secret traitor like Wei Jianjun, but she had plenty of ways to punish him.
When she came back last night, she sneaked into the tent of General Wei and drugged him.
After that, she took out a shovel from the space and started working.
There were too many jewels, so she put three boxes in and buried them, then filled it up. As for the gold beads on General Wei's back, she naturally sewed them there with two stitches.
Perhaps it was the effect of the drug that made Wei Jianjun feel no pain in his back when he was sleeping.
Xiangying had just finished eating Chinese sandwiches with the children: steamed buns with ham, fried eggs and vegetables.
On the other side, the deputy general sent someone to take Xiangying away in the name of interrogation.
