Li Sheng pointed at Wang Zi's nose and said, "General, this man is a spy. I saw him secretly meeting someone and even accepting money from that person."
He had long noticed that something was wrong with Wang Zi these past two days, as he always went out secretly. This time he finally caught him.
Wang Zi's face was gloomy, his eyes were heavy, and he tried to remain calm. When he looked up, he regained his sincerity and said, "General, I don't have any. That's the money my mother worked hard outside to give me. She was worried that I wouldn't have enough food and clothes."
Lin Xi stared at him with deep eyes, not missing the slightest flaw, "Isn't your mother sick? How can she work to send you money?"
He heard that the sick person couldn't get out of bed.
Wang Zi's face was filled with sorrow as she wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes. "It was because of the subsidy the general gave her that she was able to get up and walk around during this period. Without my knowledge, she was doing laundry and embroidering handkerchiefs for others during the day to earn money."
He bent down and kowtowed, "General, you know how I could be a spy. Everything I said is true!"
The knocks became louder and louder, and the soldiers around him began to speak well of him.
"Yes, General, you can't call Lieutenant General Wang a spy just because of what Lieutenant General Li said. You need evidence."
"Yes, yes, we saw Lieutenant General Li make the first move. Maybe he is trying to turn the tables."
.......
Lin Xi heard the commotion around him, frowned, and looked at everyone. He said in a deep voice, "Are you all so idle? Everyone is running around the training ground twenty times while wearing armor."
There was an instant of wailing from the crowd below, but when they saw the sharp gaze sweeping down again, they quickly dispersed.
Lin Xi sorted out the whole story and asked Li Sheng, "Do you have evidence to prove that Wang Zi is a spy? Did the person who sent the money see who it was?"
He couldn't tell whether it was true or false based on that one sentence.
Li Sheng shook his head, looking silly. "No, just a beggar," he muttered, "but I've seen him many times. His mother can't send money so often."
Wang Zi raised his head and retorted, "Just three times, okay? And each time is just a few coins, it's not much."
Neither of them gave in. Lin Xi gave each of them ten military sticks and told them to go back to bed.
However, he secretly sent someone to check Wang Zi's bedding, and found that there were indeed only some copper coins, which dispelled his doubts.
When Wang Zi limped back, he saw the bed that had obviously been moved and his expression became vicious.
Humph, Lin Xi didn't believe what he said. It was obvious that he had the same position as Li Sheng, but Lin Xi just sided with Li Sheng. He asked him to send someone to check his bed for a piece of false information.
Fortunately, he had made preparations and put the silver somewhere else, and no one could find it except him.
Thinking of what that person sent someone to say, Wang Zi's expression became firm, as if he was determined to win.
In the afternoon, Lin Xi looked at the sky and sent someone to inform Su Jinge that he would not be going back for dinner tonight.
He buried his head in writing again. Because of Rong Jingyuan's matter, he not only had to arrange for people to disguise themselves, but also had to make plans.
As for the matter of the Iron Cavalry Kingdom, it was heard that they were ready to make a move. He could only wait until the flower viewing banquet was over before heading to the battlefield. Recently, he had to oversee all aspects of military rations and weapons.
As a result, he only returned home occasionally in the past few days, and returned very late at night. His time with Su Jinge was completely separated, and they hardly spoke to each other. His greatest comfort was that he could sleep with his wife in his arms at night.
