Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Of course, there were also many soldiers who had fought alongside the prince and the princess that night who stepped forward and indignantly defended them, but the people in such a state of outrage did not want to hear or believe any words that deviated from their understanding.

As a result, the arguments of these soldiers were quickly suppressed by the majority of military households and their families.

Even after washing seven or eight times, the think tank still smelled of rotten eggs. When they reported the matter to the prince with great sorrow, the prince just frowned and said nothing more.

The think tank waited for a long time, only to see the prince's drooping eyebrows and eyes, which made it impossible to guess what he was thinking. The think tank had no choice but to look at each other, shut up, and wait for the prince to speak.

After pondering for a moment, the prince grabbed several bloody confessions on the desk and handed them to the think tank.

After they circulated it, they called the guards and asked them to bring out the people in the prison. At the same time, they handed the confession to Captain Ge, believing that he would naturally handle the matter properly.

You know what, Captain Ge is really having a hard time.

After the order of martial law was issued, although the discordant voices were suppressed on the surface, there were still some people in the military camp who had nothing better to do and liked to gossip, hiding behind people's backs.

In addition, the night attack had made people anxious. In order to vent their tension, they started gossiping about the trivial matters spread by the powerful people who were once high and mighty in their eyes, which always made more people feel a little hidden pleasure in their hearts.

Captain Ge could only control the people inside the military camp through open martial law, but it was difficult to control the soldiers' families because they had mouths to speak.

It is said that the power of public opinion is strong enough to confuse right and wrong and truth and falsehood.

His personal guards, colonels, cavalry, centurions, and clerks were also very worried and were busy suppressing the internal unrest.

Before finding the nail, out of caution, Captain Ge did not reveal the fact that there was a traitor. Naturally, several generals were dissatisfied with the prince's favoritism towards Princess Le'an.

Just when Captain Ge was getting extremely worried, the prince handed over the confessions of those people after interrogating them.

Captain Ge flipped through the book quickly and couldn't help but admire it in his heart. It turned out that it was the royal guards who did it. Their interrogation methods and speed were indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. It was fast enough.

Looking at the confessions in hand, those families said everything they should say, and also said things they shouldn't say. Even the dirty things they had done were all brought to light one by one.

This has brought up all the old secrets.

However, what Captain Ge did not know was that this confession had already been obtained through interrogation last night and presented to the prince's desk.

Originally, the prince wanted to dig deeper, but the rumors outside were spreading so widely that even the staff around him were affected. It seemed that Princess Le'an's situation was not much better.

If this continues, I am afraid that it will become the intention of the person behind the scenes who hides in the dark and sends people to guide public opinion. By then, there will be no need for the coalition forces to invade because the party will collapse internally.

Captain Ge quickly read through the confession given by the prince, and immediately ordered his men to capture Captain Guo under his command.

"Sir, Sir Qianhu, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? Mr. Guo, you said you want to be a good person, but you have to be a thief. Have you ever thought about how many brothers died in the barracks in just one night by letting the enemy enter the city?"

Captain Ge angrily threw all the evidence collected by the prince in Captain Guo's face. Seeing this, the other generals beside him hurriedly picked up the evidence on the ground and read it quickly. The further they turned, the uglier their faces became.

There was a hot-tempered general who was already filled with righteous indignation and kicked Captain Guo who was captured by the soldiers. He also spat on his face with disgust and said hatefully, "Traitor, bah, scum."

"I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be such a treacherous person."

"You even bribed a few families to spread rumors, saying that the princess is bloodthirsty and that the prince is partial to her. You are trying to kill everyone at the pass."

"He has an evil heart and deserves death."

The generals were furious and glared at Captain Guo with gritted teeth, wishing they could eat him alive.

"Okay, take him down first and serve him well."

"Yes!"

After Captain Guo was gagged and dragged away, Captain Ge ordered his men to arrest Captain Guo's family as quickly as possible, leaving no one alive.

At the same time, he told all the generals that the night attack was the result of a collusion between traitors and enemies both inside and outside the army, with the intention of kidnapping the prince in order to tie down our military strength.

At this time, all the generals came to their senses. They were just surrounding the captain, talking to him and asking him to find the prince to release the detained military families. But Captain Ge made all kinds of excuses, hinting that there was something else going on.

But the soldiers were stubborn and didn't care about anything when they got angry. Fortunately, Captain Ge didn't hold them accountable. Otherwise, if a captain with a worse temper came, they would definitely be punished for insubordination.

Everyone touched their noses in embarrassment and smiled awkwardly at the misunderstanding of Ge Qianhu.

No one expected that Captain Guo was so secretive. After all, we have worked together for several years. He is usually low-key and generous. But no one expected that under this generous appearance, there is actually a treacherous person.

Not to mention who was behind him, the fact that he had given the enemy great convenience during the night attack and revealed the prince's residence resulted in heavy casualties at the Guyan Pass, and many families lost their pillars and were separated from their wives and children.

The crimes committed by Captain Guo were enough for the soldiers to cut their entire family into pieces and punish them with a thousand deaths.

After the generals learned about Captain Guo's situation, they also knew that what he had committed was not a small mistake, but a serious crime of treason. Such a crime was unacceptable to the entire government and the people.

Captain Ge struck while the iron was hot and ordered all the generals to immediately gather their soldiers and make Captain Guo's rebellion public.

Firstly, it calmed emotions and quelled public anger;

Secondly, punish Captain Guo's family in public. As long as they are not killed, they will be beaten with dozens of sticks first, and then they will be sent to the front line to fight bravely on the front line.

If you can survive, it is a meritorious service; if you die, it is also atonement.

Whatever you do can deter those who have evil thoughts, so that those military families who are always gossiping and making trouble in the barracks, and the exiles will not take the opportunity to make trouble and make people feel uneasy.

The generals thought that this was true. Now that all kinds of sensational rumors were spreading outside, it was time to suppress this bad trend.

After figuring it out, the generals clasped their fists, accepted the order and withdrew.
