Chapter 153 Enough
Song Mingjiang hesitated for a moment, but he quickly became determined!
Last night at midnight, he brought people to gather military intelligence and came back, and he discovered the traces of Lu Chaofeng and his group from a distance.
The White Bear Country occupied a nearby city, and Lu Chaofeng was coming from there. How could they let go of such a powerful team so easily?
Then there is only one possibility!
Lu Chaofeng passed by Yuqing Village and discovered the secret there!
Everyone had been tacitly covering up the truth for years, and now that Lu Chaofeng had wiped it out, who wouldn't be jealous?!
As long as the salt is presented to the Queen Mother, it will definitely be a great achievement.
He had sent people to keep a close eye on the whole journey. Lu Chaofeng didn't have time to make any moves!
"Master Lu, you'd better stop struggling!"
"If this isn't salt, I'll tear my head off and let you kick it like a ball! Hurry up!"
"Okay! That's what you said. Don't feel bad about your head later and be reluctant to part with it." Lu Chaofeng smiled slightly, raised his right hand, and tapped the air twice with his fingers with distinct knuckles.
"Yes, Prince." Ah Shun clasped his hands together and answered loudly.
He strode through the crowd, forcefully opened the oil wrapper, and placed the bags inside neatly on the cart. Some of the bags were still covered with white particles.
Song Mingjiang was overjoyed. He pointed at the sacks that were clearly stained with white particles and said, "Lu Chaofeng, do you still want to quibble?"
"Look for yourself what this is?!"
"Someone, take it down for me!"
"Yes, Deputy General Song!" everyone said in unison.
It was as if the evidence that Lu Chaofeng had secretly hidden more than twenty carts of contraband salt was solid and his defeat was inevitable. Those who had been somewhat hesitant had now become completely determined.
"Go away!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Don't interfere with our inspection!"
Lao Jin and the others were angry and anxious, looking at Lu Chaofeng with anxiety and worry, but when they saw that their master was calm and ignored them, they had to turn their heads and look at A Shun.
Ah Shun winked at them, signaling them not to be nervous.
But how can I not be nervous about this?!
If they were really caught on the spot by Song Mingjiang and others who were against the Ningyuan Palace, wouldn't this huge misunderstanding be confirmed?
Who can bear the charge of rebellion?
I'm afraid even the Ningyuan Palace, which is a royal family, can't do it.
"Song Mingjiang." Lu Chaofeng said lightly.
"I'll give you one last chance. Do you really want to break off relations with our Ningyuan Palace? If there's no illegal salt here as you said..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Song Mingjiang sneered, pushed Lao Jin and others away, and walked away on his own.
Today! No one can stop him!
"Vice-General!"
"Get out of the way! I'll do it myself."
"Yes."
Song Mingjiang drew out his sword and thrust the tip of the sword into the sackcloth pocket.
wow——
As the blade was pulled out, the contents of the pocket slid out...
Everyone looked over.
Even the people standing on the periphery were trying to stand on tiptoe to look out.
"Old man? What is that?" Grandma Jiang asked anxiously.
"I don't know, I can't see clearly."
"How come you can't see clearly?"
"You can't see clearly? Why don't you stand up and see for yourself?"
"get down!"
Song Mingjiang, full of anticipation, burst into laughter!
"Hahahahaha..."
"Lu Chaofeng! I knew you were just being mysterious!"
"These evidences are conclusive, right?" He turned around and pointed the knife at Lu Chaofeng.
"what--"
"Vice-General!"
"This...this is!"
The Beiling Army soldiers standing around Song Mingjiang frowned and interrupted him, looking behind him with an expression of disbelief and surprise.
Song Mingjiang turned around suddenly.
The salt that was white-gray just now is now covered with sand, forming a small pile of sand on the ground.
“How-how could this happen?!”
"I do not believe!"
Song Mingjiang was like a madman, constantly poking holes in the sacks. He felt that checking one car was not enough, and he wanted to check every car personally.
At this time, the small piles of sand on the ground were increasing, each one ranging from white to yellow, piled high! They were all laughing at him.
"Lu! Chao! Feng!"
"What on earth did you do?!"
Song Mingjiang gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and wanted to rush towards Lu Chaofeng.
Ah Shun naturally wouldn't let him have his wish.
He moved sideways and stopped Song Mingjiang.
Although Song Mingjiang was not smart, he was very good at martial arts and had received many commendations from the Empress Dowager.
"roll!"
"Deputy General Song, you should calm down first."
"Go away!"
Ah Shun was knocked away by the back of Song Mingjiang's knife, and he staggered backward. He was supported from behind by others before he could stabilize his body.
In the blink of an eye, Song Mingjiang was in front of Lu Chaofeng.
He asked:
"Say!"
"Where the hell do you hide the salt?"
Lu Chaofeng still looked calm. In Song Mingjiang's eyes, he looked like a mature, steady and handsome man looking at his naughty son.
Lu Chaofeng doesn't like others touching him.
He gently brushed away Song Mingjiang's dirty hands, slapped him again, and pushed him away.
"Song Mingjiang! That's enough!"
A majestic voice sounded.
"what!"
"General!"
"Is the General back?!"
With a loud noise, the Beiling army fell to their knees.
A middle-aged man with starry eyebrows and sharp eyes walked up from behind with an imposing manner. He was not very tall, but he had a sturdy build, holding a red tasseled spear, and his aura was extremely strong.
"Tie up Song Mingjiang for me."
"Yes!" Li Shanqi's personal soldier answered.
Song Mingjiang was unwilling to give in. "General Li, why did you tie me up?! What did I do wrong?"
"As a member of the Beiling Army, I'm questioning something of unknown origin and conducting a regular inspection. What's wrong with that? You're abusing your power and bending the law!"
"I'm going to file a complaint against you in front of the Queen Mother!"
Li Shanqi raised his eyebrows and glanced over fiercely. He strode over and kicked Song Mingjiang in the heart, saying angrily:
"You little bastard! Even if you submitted a memorial, it should be presented to His Majesty! What's the point of presenting it to the Queen Mother?"
"You can't even figure this out, and you still want to criticize me?! Humph, just stay still. If it weren't for your father, I would have killed you, you little bastard, with a single blow."
"Drag it!"
"Yes!"
Song Mingjiang wanted to struggle, but Li Shanqi's men did not give him a chance to speak. They simply removed his jaw, confiscated his weapons, and tied him up.
Song Mingjiang's subordinates knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads.
This Li Shanqi is Lu Chaofeng's uncle and also the commander-in-chief of the Beiling Army.
"From today onwards, Song Mingjiang will be punished for neglecting his duties, for indulging in drinking, whoring, gambling, and secretly keeping two concubines in the village below the mountain, and for selling off military rations at a low price."
"Both the witnesses and the evidence are here. Bring them up."
