Fei Shaoyang died, and the way he died was exactly the same as the people who were poisoned before. Looking at Fei Shaoyang's body, not only Wei Chengxi was afraid, but even Li Changsheng, who was inspecting his body, looked a little pale.
"It's the same kind of poison. According to previous experience, this kind of poison will lurk for an hour or two after being poisoned. If you guessed correctly, it should have been poisoned during dinner!" Li Changsheng said with a slightly trembling voice.
"During meal time, except for coming to our place and saying a few words, Chief Fei has been by your side, Old Wei, right?" Pang Zheng asked, staring at Wei Chengxi.
"Yes, but I am not responsible for your meals. By the way, I will arrest those fire-headed soldiers immediately!" Wei Chengxi shouted.
"Old Wei, I will ask someone to go with you. The battle is about to begin. The coach will die first. This matter cannot be leaked for the time being!" Pang Zheng said.
"I understand!" Wei Chengxi knew that he was suspected by Pang Zheng, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Fei Shaoyang had been with him all the time. The only time he left was with a group of people, and it was impossible for him to poison him. Chance.
Yang Shengyong followed Wei Chengxi, and as soon as they left, Li Changsheng looked around to make sure that no one was there, so he whispered: "Boss, this is weird. The other party can actually steal Fei Shaoyang silently." Poison to death, if we continue to advance, will some of us also..."
Li Changsheng didn't say any more, but everyone including Pang Zheng looked bad.
"Now that the coach has died, it doesn't matter if we go back. Of course, Tou and Wei will definitely bear some responsibilities." Mou Xiang said.
"It's better than dying!" Li Changsheng said.
"Wait until Old Wei comes back to discuss this matter with him!" Pang Zheng hesitated.
In a moment, Yang Shengyong and Wei Chengxi had returned with the two fire-headed soldiers who cooked for Fei Shaoyang. Judging from their pale faces, it was obvious that they had suffered a little at Wei Chengxi's hands.
This mysterious poisoner’s poisoning method is really weird. Although there are two suspects, no one has much hope. In fact, this is also the case. No matter how you ask two people, neither of them can say anything. .
In anger, Wei Chengxi tortured two more people. Lin Haoming looked at the two people groaning in pain and finally said: "Commander Wei, you can't find anything out about these two people even if you crush all their bones. They were poisoned." It was definitely not them. Even if the food was indeed poisoned, it was hidden from their eyes and ears. Moreover, they also said that they had tasted it themselves before sending it to Chief Fei. Obviously, it was unlikely that the food was poisonous, at least until they It's impossible before sending it over. Think about it, who will enter Chief Fei's camp after this?"
"This...I don't know this either. I went out when Master Fei was eating, and when I came back he had already finished eating!" Wei Chengxi shouted anxiously.
"So, it's very likely that Commander Wei was the one who poisoned you while you were out for such a period of time!" Lin Haoming guessed.
"I'll ask two soldiers from outside to come over!" Wei Chengxi said.
The soldiers have been guarding the door. They actually know what happened. The coach was poisoned to death while they were on duty. They were already frightened. When they walked in, their faces were pale.
Wei Chengxi asked in person, but the two soldiers insisted that no one came to see Fei Shaoyang in the camp when he left. This made Wei Chengxi's face even more ugly. At least from the current situation, it seemed that he was the most likely The poisoned person.
"Old Wei, I believe you must have nothing to do with this matter, but now we can't find the poisoner and the coach is dead. Do we still want to continue?" Li Changsheng directly asked Wei Chengxi the question.
When Wei Chengxi heard this, his eyelids twitched subconsciously, and then asked: "What do you mean?"
"Most of this army is your soldiers and horses, of course it depends on what you want, but don't worry, Old Wei, we will definitely testify for you after we go back!" Li Changsheng said with a smile.
Although Wei Chengxi had a bad temper, he was not a fool. He immediately understood that these guys from the arrest department wanted to make him take the responsibility for voluntary retreat, otherwise they would throw dirty water on Fei Shaoyang. Li Changsheng cursed loudly, but there was nothing he could do about the current situation. He could only grit his teeth and nod: "Okay, I'll take the responsibility for this matter!"
Seeing Wei Chengxi agree, Li Changsheng and others breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Haoming also breathed a sigh of relief.
Others thought that Lin Haoming did not need to be a pioneer, but Lin Haoming knew that as long as tonight passed, Fei Shaoyang's death would become an unsolved case.
Early the next morning, Wei Chengxi immediately announced that the army would retreat.
All the soldiers felt strange about this order, but as long as they did not go into the mountains to fight, it was naturally the best thing to do, and they cheered for a while.
Wei Chengxi was originally in a bad mood. When he saw these soldiers cheering when they retreated, he couldn't help but cursed. But at this point, he could only vent.
The arresting department knew that there was no need to go all out, so they were naturally happy.
So the army came in force, but they only stayed for one night and then went back in force. But among the army, there was an extra coffin on a carriage, and the commander of the army was already lying in it. .
It was impossible to hide this kind of thing all the time. After arriving at the safe boundary, Wei Chengxi told the truth about the death of the coach, and the whole army immediately became uproar. Fortunately, they had retreated and nothing would happen.
The scouts who reported the news had already arrived in Xilin County and reported the matter. So when the army came back from the east gate, the messengers had already come over and asked a group of leaders to see the county magistrate.
Lin Haoming was only a ninth-grade official and was not qualified to see Jia Kai this time. After entering the city, he led his troops back to the arrest department.
Although none of the people who went there came back with a loss, the look on everyone's face was not good. After all, the coach was poisoned to death. This battle was regarded as a big defeat. Even if Fei Shaoyang bears a big responsibility, Pang Zheng and others are definitely Will also be punished.
Sure enough, everyone entered the city in the afternoon, and in the evening, news came. What surprised Lin Haoming was that not only Wei Chengxi had been removed from his position as commander of the City Defense Department, but also Pang Zheng, the commander of the Apprehension Department.
After hearing the news, everyone in the arrest department was very dissatisfied. However, if Lin Haoming thought about it carefully, he knew that Wei Chengxi's dismissal was responsible for most of the incident, while Pang Zheng was dismissed, except for this incident. In addition, a large part of it is because Xilin County officials were poisoned one after another, which caused Jia Kai to be dissatisfied with him for a long time. Now it is just an excuse. Pang Zheng is a good boss, and his departure makes Lin Haoming feel a bit regretful. , but Fei Shaoyang must die, and Lin Haoming has no choice.
