The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 415 Searching for Spies

Gu Rui was also on this trip, but she came as an auxiliary doctor.

As for why this incident happened, it was because she made a temporary change after the person Zuoqiu Shiyi sent to inquire about the news came back.

"General Wang, please wait for a moment. They have come a long way. They will rest for a while tonight and then leave for the military camp tomorrow after counting the herbs."

There were twenty auxiliary doctors going to the military camp, all of whom were good at diagnosing and treating trauma. They were the best female doctors in the girls' school.

When rumors were spreading in Da Chu that the Xunlu Women's School was a cult, these women had already quietly spread to the battlefield and started their new life journey.

"Okay, okay, there's no problem here. There's no war going on right now, so there's no need to be so anxious."

Dean Liao looked at the sky and said, "It's almost noon. Let's have a simple meal with General Wang later."

"I should ask the dean."

"You're welcome. I have something to take care of. General Wang, please sit down for a moment. I'll be right back."

Dean Liao was still concerned about the jade pendant, so he hurried to meet the man who blocked his way today.

When I went to the backyard, Fang Youming was already waiting there.

After bringing his men into the house, Dean Liao spoke directly.

"Where did you get this jade pendant?"

……

"Sister, this is so beautiful."

Grandma followed Fan Xuanyu closely, and when she was making the bed, something around her neck fell out.

It is a jade pendant with a tiger head. Her zodiac sign is tiger, and her family had someone carve it for her when she was one month old.

This piece of jade is not pure color. It is naturally dyed with jade color and has amber patterns. It really looks like a lifelike tiger head.

"This is a tiger head. Grandma, have you ever seen a tiger?"

"Tiger, like a cat."

Grandma had never seen one, but she had heard of it. She looked at its shape and thought it looked a bit like a wild cat she had seen before.

"Okay, little girl. I have to go out for something. Go play with your friends."

Grandma nodded obediently. She couldn't disturb her sister while she was doing her work, so she watched her sister leave.

Fan Xuanyu had something to see the dean about, so he went towards the dean's residence.

After waiting there, I found out that the dean was not there, so I just stayed in the front yard.

Dean Liao listened to Fang Youming's brief account of the whole process and learned that General Duan was now in a coma, and he became extremely anxious.

The most useful person around His Royal Highness Prince Chun is Marquis Duan, especially General Duan, and nothing must happen to him.

She thought about it and made a decision.

"I'll send a female doctor with some herbs to accompany you. This matter must not be made public. The priority is to detoxify General Duan."

Fang Youming also had the same idea, but he was a little worried in his heart, wondering whether this female doctor could detoxify.

suddenly!

There was a commotion outside the door, as if someone had broken in.

Immediately, a strange man rushed in with a large group of soldiers.

"You are such a daring pariah, harboring spies! Why don't you surrender now?"

Several officers and soldiers stepped forward and captured Fang Youming.

When someone tried to arrest Dean Liao, she shouted, "Let's see who dares!"

She raised the token in her hand, the imperial seal on it demonstrated the royal majesty.

The officers and soldiers stopped what they were doing and didn't know what to do for a moment.

The leader was Zan Lei, one of the deputy generals of Mu City.

"Are you the Head Girl?"

Zan Lei took a step forward with a long sword hanging at his waist.

"Exactly. Who are you and why did you bring people to surround our girls' school resettlement site?"

Dean Liao was full of energy, staring at Zan Lei intently, and approached step by step.

Facing the middle-aged woman in front of him, Zan Lei actually took a step back in fear.

Seeing his action, Dean Liao stopped.

"I've received word that someone here is passing on enemy intelligence and harboring fugitives. What does President Liao mean by that? Could it be that you're involved with the fugitives?"

"What a joke! We just entered the city today and before we could even have a sip of hot tea, we were splashed with a basin of dirty water. I want to ask General Wang how this Mushi City is governed!"

Others may not have the qualifications to question, but Dean Liao does. She is not only the dean of the women's school branch, but also Prince Chun's person.

Like General Wang, Zan Lei didn't take this female student seriously at all, nor did he have the means to find out any information, and he didn't know Dean Liao's background.

"You're so arrogant, but in this area, I have my say and no one dares to challenge me. Stop the nonsense and arrest him!"

Having said that, he ordered his men to take action.

"Here is the imperial decree. Who dares to act rashly?"

Dean Liao did not retreat at all. At this time, the escorts, guards, teachers and students of the female school rushed over.

When they saw the surrounded house, they were extremely anxious, but they didn't dare to confront them head-on since they were soldiers. They could only stay outside and listen to the movements inside.

This is a bit difficult. Zan Lei was puzzled when he looked at the token in Dean Liao's hand.

He did receive a letter saying that someone took advantage of the girls' school to enter the city today and spread information about the enemy. As long as he controlled the person, he would be able to find the spies lurking in Mu's city.

Although I don’t know whether this information is reliable, I would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one person go.

According to the master, if he caught the wrong person, it didn't matter, he was just doing his job and no one could find fault. If he caught the right person, wouldn't that be a great achievement?

"Dean Liao, do you know the sin of delaying military intelligence?"

"It's unfair, sir. I'm a subordinate of Captain Zhao from the south city. They must have arrested me by mistake. How could I be a spy?"

"Humph."

Zan Lei snorted coldly, "Captain Zhao's men?" He walked forward and circled around Fang Youming.

"Yes, yes. If you don't believe me, you can ask him. I am a refugee. I was summoned to Mu's City. I couldn't even leave the city before. How could I be a spy?"

Fang Youming explained, looking very terrified.

He was also a little nervous. Why would Lieutenant General Zan suddenly come to arrest him?

Could it be that this Deputy General Zan is the one who dealt with General Duan?

But that's not right. He is just a deputy general, how could he have such great ability?

Zan Lei suddenly looked at Dean Liao.

"President Liao, have you ever met this person before?"

Dean Liao's heart sank, "No."

"That's strange. You've never met each other. How could a female teacher from the capital and a refugee from the borderland have any connection?!"

Zan Lei's voice suddenly rose, and his eyes became sharper.

"This can only mean that there's something fishy going on with you. Otherwise, how could you have contacted each other as soon as you entered the city?"

Dean Liao was about to speak when Zan Lei, as if he knew something, excitedly said, "Maybe there's some token that helps you guys get in touch. Come on, search them!"

Dean Liao was now certain that this was a deliberate plot against them. The mastermind behind the assassination of General Duan had set his sights on Fang Youming, hoping to find the injured General Duan.

but……

Since Fang Youming was already suspected, why not just send someone to search directly? Wouldn't that be more effective in one go? Why go through so much trouble?

When Dean Liao was confused, she saw the officers and soldiers approaching and drew out the soft sword from her waist.

"Those who insult me ​​will die!"
