A Farm Girl: Three Acres of Fertile Land Can Be Exchanged for a Country

Chapter 4 Other Evidence

Wu Datou said eagerly, "Of course I do! I even have evidence that he sent a message out!"

Abudo was taken aback: "Really?"

Wu Datou hurriedly replied, "Of course!" He then ordered his guards, "Bring the man up quickly."

Wutong didn't understand his intentions, and was immediately shocked when she saw who had been brought over.

Two soldiers dragged a thin soldier over; the soldier was covered in wounds and had clearly been badly beaten.

He raised his head, and his once handsome face and snow-white teeth were now covered in blood.

It's Zhao Sanyang!

Wutong felt a pang of pain in her heart, realizing that she was the one who had harmed him!

Wu Datou walked over and grabbed Zhao Sanyang by the collar: "General, you should know this man. He raises horses in our camp and also receives flying slaves every day."

Abdo didn't care about such things and let him say, "Go on."

Wu Datou released his grip, straightened up, and said, "As everyone knows, flying slaves are the best means of communication between the border regions and the outside world. Therefore, in the barracks, unless one is a soldier of a certain rank, no one is allowed to use flying slaves to communicate with the outside world."

He suddenly looked at Wutong and pointed at her, saying, "But just a few days ago, I accidentally learned that an ordinary soldier in the camp used a flying slave to send a letter. The contents and direction of the letter are unknown, but after my thorough investigation, I finally found out that the sender was Zhao Sanyang, the horse breeder, and the writer of the letter... was your guard, Wutong!"

Wutong angrily said, "Just because of a letter, you've judged me to be a spy? That's far too hasty!"

Wu Datou said, "Your accomplice won't reveal the contents of the letter, so I have to guess. What's the problem?"

Did Zhao Sanyang not reveal the contents of her letter?

Wutong looked at Zhao Sanyang, feeling a little guilty.

The other party was too loyal; she felt she couldn't accept it.

It was she who caused Zhao Sanyang to be beaten.

Abdo looked at the sycamore tree and asked, "What exactly did that letter say?"

Wutong said, "A letter from home."

Abdo frowned: "Didn't you say you had no parents?"

Wutong said, "Yes, but I have another sister. If you don't believe me, just send someone to my room. Her reply to me is in the first drawer."

Upon hearing this, Abdo immediately ordered Wu Datou, "Send someone to fetch it."

Just as Wu Datou was about to speak, Nanxing stepped forward and said, "Let me do it."

He stopped Wu Datou's guards and walked out of the prison himself.

Wutong watched his retreating figure, thinking to herself that he was probably worried that her breast wrap would be found during a search...

Despite his age, his mind is already so meticulous.

On the contrary, she was framed like this and has truly accomplished nothing.

The only thing to do now is wait for Nanxing to retrieve the letter. Abuduo glanced at Wu Datou and said with great dissatisfaction, "Wu Datou, you kidnapped my people while I was away. Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"

Wu Datou was prepared, and put on a humble and fearful expression, saying, "General, I was really worried about the military secrets being leaked, so I made this hasty decision without having time to report to you!"

Wutong, recalling what he had just said, retorted angrily, "You're talking nonsense! You're nothing but..."

She suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence, and Abdo asked, "What is he anyway?"

Wutong bit her lip, unsure whether she should speak.

This is a handle she has, and handles are only valuable when they are revealed at the most crucial moment.

Moreover, if she were to reveal it now, without any witnesses or physical evidence, relying solely on her own words, she would have no way of convincing others to believe her.

If Wu Datou denies it to the death, or even turns around and accuses her, it's really not worth it.

"It's nothing..." Wutong glared at Wu Datou, finding him increasingly disgusting.

Nanxing quickly retrieved the letter, which Abuduo grabbed, glanced at it a few times, and then impatiently handed it to Wutong.

"If you don't understand, read it aloud."

Just as Wutong was about to begin reading, Wu Datou came over and stopped her, saying, "She could very well be a spy. How can we let her read it herself? I'll do it."

He took the letter and looked at it for a long time without reading it aloud.

Abdo asked impatiently, "What are you doing?"

Wu Datou said, puzzled, "Why do these characters look so strange..."

Wutong was startled, remembering that when she corresponded with Ruolan, they both used simplified Chinese characters.

It would be bad if Wu Datou used this to frame her, so she quickly seized the opportunity and said, "This is the script of my hometown. If you can't understand it, let me do it."

Wu Datou glanced at Abuduo, handed it to her with some doubt, and instructed, "Read it truthfully, don't try to be clever."

Wutong pretended not to hear and began to read the letter aloud.

After the letter was finished, everyone fell silent.

Abdo was the first to speak: "This letter does sound like a family letter, but..."

Wu Datou added, "But why does it sound so strange? Like that line, 'If only we had cell phones,' what does that mean?"

Wutong, quick-witted, insisted, "It's food, and she really wants to eat it."

"Really?"

"Of course, it's a mobile phone, you can play PUBG while holding it in your hand."

Before Wu Datou could ask anything else, Abuduo interrupted, "Alright, the truth is out now. Wutong isn't a spy. Wu Datou, you've arrested the wrong person."

Wu Datou said unwillingly, "General, this matter needs to be analyzed slowly. Why don't we lock her up in jail first and wait..."

Abdo glared at him angrily and asked irritably, "Are you still going to keep this up? You're asking for it."

Wu Datou shrank back in fright, then hid in a corner and said in a sinister tone, "The matter of the spy is over, but Wutong and Zhao Sanyang used Fei Nu to send letters home without permission, which is also a violation of regulations and should be punished to uphold military discipline."

"How do you suggest the punishment?"

Wu Datou declared confidently, "Break their legs and exile them beyond the Great Wall."

At this moment, Wutong was filled with nothing but "WTF" thoughts.

How could this person be so vicious? Did she dig up his ancestral graves or kill his only son? Was it really necessary?

Fortunately, Abuduo's original intention was to save her. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Well... since you broke the rules to send a letter home, then punish Wutong by not allowing her to send letters home for a month, and Zhao Sanyang by not allowing him to leave the barracks for a month."

After working hard all day, this is the punishment I get?

Wu Datou couldn't accept it and said, "General, this is too much..."

He started but then stopped, because Abdo glanced at him sideways, his eyes clearly implying that if he didn't stop, he was afraid Abdo would turn on him.

It's one thing to be unable to deal with Commandant Li, but now we can't even handle a mere guard.

Wu Datou was indignant and stormed off.

Abudo withdrew his gaze and instructed Wutong, "Go back to the manor. I have something to tell you."

After he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out of the cell. Wutong was injured and had difficulty moving. He was supported by Nanxing and walked forward with a limp.

As she watched Abdo's swift and indifferent retreating figure, a bad feeling crept into her heart.

What did Abdo want to say to her?

The only thing that's certain is that it's definitely not a good thing.
