Chapter 259 Young man, you lie all the time! !
Yuan Youfeng's lips turned pale. "The military... the military rules are strict. I was drunk and causing trouble, so I was... kicked out."
Alishen patted the head of one of the wolves, and then...it started howling.
"Ouch!!"
……
Hearing the wolf howling, Yuan Youfeng's back was soaked with cold sweat and he was extremely scared.
"Sir... Hero... I am just a figurehead in the army... My brother asked me to come here through his connections. If you want to know military secrets... I really can't help you..."
His teeth chattered as he continued, "But... my brother is rich, he is the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, as long as you are willing to let me go... I will let my brother give you... a lot of money..."
A Lushen had investigated the reasons why Yuan Youfeng was kicked out of the military camp. He said gloomily, "Young man, it seems... you are not honest enough!!"
"..."
Seeing that the other party lowered his head and didn't speak, A Lushen grabbed his hair and made him look at him, "I'll give you one more chance, tell me! Why were you kicked out of the barracks!?"
Yuan Youfeng's face was as pale as paper. He trembled and said, "I was... I was drunk... I accidentally injured a few people after I got drunk, so I was kicked out..."
A-Lu sneered, "Are you sure he's just drunk and mad?"
He swallowed and said firmly: "Yes!!"
Ah Lu Shen's eyes were filled with anger, and his voice was raised a few notches: "You are really dishonest. You owe money to 17 gambling houses, plus interest, a total of more than 50,000 taels."
"The gambling house came to your house to collect the debt, and you couldn't hide it anymore, so you were kicked out!!"
Yuan Youfeng took a deep breath: "Since you know everything... why are you still asking me?"
"I just want to hear... whether what you say is credible. It's okay if I don't try it, but once I try it, I will know that you are a bunch of lies!!"
"me…"
"that is…"
……
Yuan Youfeng hesitated for a long time and didn't say a complete sentence.
"Why did you lie? Why did you hide the truth!?"
He avoided her gaze and said, "My brother will help me pay this debt back... It's just a small matter, so let's not talk about it..."
Ah Lu Shen said sarcastically, "During your stay in the camp, you went out to gamble and drink repeatedly, and you are in debt. You are not naive enough to think that... your brother's reputation is really that great!?"
"If the gambling matter gets to the capital, your brother won't be able to protect you!!"
Yuan Youfeng lowered his head timidly: "As long as the money is in place, then we can..."
A Lushen's tone softened a lot. He patted Yuan Youfeng on the head and said, "Little kid, why bother your brother? It's just 50,000 taels. I can help you pay it back!"
After hearing this, Yuan Youfeng's expression suddenly changed, and he looked resistant: "I don't want your money, my brother has it! What do you want to do!?"
He offered a helping hand, but the other party was dismissive. A-Lu smiled with a fake smile and asked, "You don't even want it for free?"
He said firmly, "I don't need the help of the San people!!"
A Lu Shen's face darkened. It seemed that this person was extremely unwilling to have anything to do with the Sang tribe.
After all…bad debts can be settled with silver, but if it involves the Sang people, no matter how much silver you spend, it won’t be washed away! !
"I know you don't want anything to do with the San."
He paused, his face darkening. "I went through so much trouble to tie you up here, so I won't let you go easily. If you want to live... you must say something valuable!"
Yuan Youfeng held his breath and licked his dry lips again: "I really don't know anything..."
A Lushen's face was tense. Yuan Youfeng was expelled from the military camp four days ago. It was from that day... that the number of people poisoned began to deviate.
Two people are missing every day!!
At this time, he was not sure whether Yuan Youfeng knew about the poisoned soldiers, so he could only keep threatening him to see if he could get any useful information out of him.
……
"From the beginning, you emphasized that you knew nothing, but the more you said that... it gave people the feeling that you were trying to cover up something."
"me…"
Yuan Youfeng blinked quickly, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and his expression was clearly seen by A Lushen.
"If you don't tell me, my little wolf cub can't wait any longer."
"..."
A-Lu Shen threatened: "As long as I loosen the rope, they will go to you."
Yuan Youfeng was shaking like a sieve, defeated: "Don't let go, I'll tell you! Just ask me whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything I know!!"
Ah Lu Shen held Yuan Youfeng's shaking shoulders, he moved closer, and said with a smile: "Just tell me if you're willing to, I advise you not to hide anything, otherwise... you will die without a burial place!!"
He nodded repeatedly with a look of fear on his face.
A Lushen led the wolf to a wooden chair, sat down, crossed his legs, and asked tentatively, "In the military camp...are there soldiers who experience numbness in their hands and feet every day!?"
Wild Wolf and Yuan Youfeng were separated by a distance. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "Yes... every day, the number is uncertain, and the military doctors can't find the cause, so they have to send them back to the capital for treatment."
Ah Lu Shen listened to Yuan Youfeng's honest words, and his smile became even more intense. He asked again: "Then... is there anything that was missed?!"
Yuan Youfeng said sternly, "This is impossible! In the morning, someone will count the number of soldiers who were poisoned yesterday and register the actual number of people in the roster."
He pondered for a moment and continued, "Only after they are registered will they be sent back to the capital. With so many checks at every level, there will definitely be no omissions or omissions!!"
A-Lu was very suspicious: "But four days ago, the number of people was indeed missed. The poisoned soldier left and you were kicked out of the barracks. I don't believe... you don't know anything."
"..."
He asked coldly: "Do you...already have the antidote?!"
"!!!!!!"
Yuan Youfeng looked bewildered. He pointed at his nose and said helplessly, "Do I look like someone who knows the secrets of the army?"
"If there really is a cure, do you think they would tell me!?"
"..."
A-Lu choked deeply.
What Yuan Youfeng said did make sense. A scoundrel like him who spent all his time drinking and gambling should not have access to military secrets.
Not to mention the antidote.
……
Seeing that A Lu was silent, Yuan Youfeng became more and more excited. "In fact, you can find out if you just kidnap Gu Sichen. He is in charge of poisoned soldiers and must know the inside story!!"
A Lu Shen regained consciousness and snorted coldly, "Humph! If I could tie him up, would you still show up here!?"
"..."
However, Yuan Youfeng's words just now made A Lu Shen suddenly realize that if there is an antidote... he should start by checking Gu Sichen! !
He continued to ask: "When you were still in the military camp, did you notice any abnormal behavior from Gu Sichen? "
