Butler Ge looked at her meaningfully, then waved his hand impatiently to send her away.

"My master will make the decision. You can go back now."

After hearing what Butler Ge said, the old woman didn't dare to mention the money anymore.

Anyway, the person has been sent, and Mr. Ge will not deny his debt.

After sending away the maid sent by Madam Lu, Butler Ge immediately called a few servants, untied the ropes on her feet, and pushed her towards the front hall.

Mrs. Lu, who had been waiting in the mansion for half a day, did not scold them when she saw the maids coming back empty-handed.

Mr. Ge is a big merchant in Beimoguan. Not to mention a few old ladies, even Mrs. Lu herself doesn't dare to offend him.

Once Mr. Ge finishes his work, he will naturally send the money.

Mrs. Lu twisted her handkerchief and thought happily in her heart.

At this moment, Lu Wuming was sitting in the tent, secretly happy.

This morning, he met several colleagues on the road.

Several of them were from the Hua family army. Because of the theft of the "Kanshanlu" that happened a few days ago, the entire military camp was under strict scrutiny.

On weekdays, except when facing the enemy and training, everyone is relatively relaxed and casual.

The atmosphere suddenly became serious and everyone felt uncomfortable.

Seeing that this incident happened for so many days, Mu Yang had already been imprisoned, but the military camp was still on alert.

People who are used to being relaxed on weekdays are becoming a little impatient.

One of them suddenly spoke up:

"How long do you think this matter will be delayed? That damn Mu Yang has already been imprisoned!"

Another person echoed:

"If you ask me, just kill Mu Yang and the matter will be settled!"

Lu Wuming was just listening to their complaints silently, but when he saw that they were getting more and more intense, he began to have some thoughts in his mind.

If he could instigate them to make a fuss and kill Mu Yang, wouldn't he be safe?

He would chime in from time to time, adding fuel to the fire without leaving any trace.

Finally someone spoke:

"Why don't we go and ask the prince for permission today to deal with the traitor!"

"Yes! If we deal with the traitor sooner, the barracks will be more peaceful!"

Looking at this scene, Lu Wuming couldn't help but feel secretly happy that he could finally get rid of this matter completely.

At this time, General Luo, who was in charge of the daily discipline in the military camp, spoke calmly.

"The prince and the general have their own reasons for doing this. Let's wait and see."

After General Luo said this, everyone's arrogance subsided a little.

Lu Wuming narrowed his eyes, then pretended to agree and said:

"General Luo is right. Let's wait for the prince to investigate the traitor carefully."

Everyone was already holding back their anger, and when they heard this, they could no longer hold back.

"Investigate traitors? How can we investigate when the traitors are already in jail? Are we traitors?"

"That's right, General Luo, you wouldn't suspect that we are the traitors, right?"

Before Li Sen went to steal Kanshanlu, only Mu Yang went to find him. If Li Sen had an accomplice, this person was most likely Mu Yang.

Li Sen also stated that he was instructed by someone, and there were letters to prove it, so Mu Yang was arrested as the mastermind.

General Luo also felt that the evidence of Mu Yang and Li Sen's guilt was conclusive and there was nothing to blame.

At this moment, seeing his brother, whom he could trust with his back on the battlefield, asking this question, his heart began to waver.

"In this case, during the meeting this morning, we will ask the prince to deal with Mu Yang and the other two as soon as possible."

"It will also give an explanation to the brothers in the camp."

Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Lu Wuming's eyes.

General Luo, as the eldest brother of the group, once he had spoken, was the first to bring up the matter in front of Ye Buhuo.

"Your Majesty, Mu Yang and the other two have been in prison for many days, and the evidence is solid."

"We think we should deal with them as soon as possible and lift the alert in the camp."

There have indeed been some dissatisfied voices in the camp in recent days, and it is a good thing that someone has brought this up.

Ye Buhuo took this opportunity to explain the reason.

"Although Li Sen has pleaded guilty, Mu Yang has not yet admitted his guilt. There may be something else going on."

Everyone knows how cruel the punishment in prison is.

If Mu Yang was really a traitor, he would have succumbed to the torture long ago.

Now that several days have passed and he still hasn't confessed, maybe Mu Yang was really wronged.

Thinking of this, everyone hesitated.

General Luo was also a little surprised after hearing Ye Buhuo's words, then he bowed his head and saluted, and replied respectfully:

"We have overstepped our authority. Everything will be arranged by the prince."

The opportunity that he had waited so hard for was now taken away by Ye Buhuo's words. Lu Wuming could no longer sit still.

Anyway, Ye Buhuo has already set his sights on me. After some time, maybe he will find some clues.

It would be better for him to give it a try. Even if he offended Ye Buhuo, he was still a member of the Hua family army. He should give the Buddha some consideration. With General Hua around, he would not dare to do anything to him.

If he could force Ye Buhuo to deal with Mu Yang, he would have nothing to worry about.

Thinking of this, Lu Wuming snorted disdainfully while sitting in his chair.

"Your Majesty, don't you think that Mu Yang is a soldier of your Black Iron Army and you are afraid that he will bring shame to the Black Iron Army, so you are reluctant to convict him."

"What they're saying is that the whole army is under martial law. I think they're just trying to find a scapegoat in our Hua Family Army!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Rongyu raised her eyebrows and scolded:

"How dare you! The whole army is under martial law. Doesn't the Black Iron Army have martial law? The prince is impartial and enforces the law. You can't talk nonsense here!"

Lu Wuming wanted to rely on Hua Rongyu after offending Ye Buhuo. He absolutely did not dare to create a rift with Hua Rongyu.

"I dare not! It's just that the soldiers of my Hua family army were put under martial law because of this incident. I just feel sorry for my soldiers."

The Hua family has always treated every soldier as their own family. After hearing Lu Wuming's explanation, not only did Hua Rongyu feel embarrassed to scold him, but the dissatisfaction in the hearts of other Hua family generals present was aroused again. Someone immediately stood up and echoed Lu Wuming's words:

"General Lu is right!"

"That's right. We finally defeated the northern bandits. Logically, these soldiers should take a good rest."

"Yes! It's fine that we have to be on high alert on the battlefield, but now we have to stay on our guard because of the traitor Mu Yang. This is really unacceptable!"

……

Seeing that the generals of the Hua family army were getting more and more excited, Hua Rongyu slammed the table:

"How dare you! The entire army is under martial law! We will not tolerate your lawlessness!"

The anger in everyone's hearts was temporarily suppressed because of Hua Rongyu's words, but there was still a hint of unwillingness on their faces.

Seeing everyone sitting back with angry looks on their faces, Lu Wuming stood up again.
