I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night
Chapter 182 - 182 "Choose One To Be Killed As An Example!"182 “Choose One To Be Killed As An Example!”
Dong Ping might still have some hope, but Doctor Zhuang and his daughter, especially Doctor Zhuang himself, already knew his ending. It was impossible for him to survive.
Pei Qian would never allow a northern barbarian spy like him to continue living in this world!
Therefore, after understanding this, he had already given up.
They were about to die anyway. What need was there to cooperate and struggle?!
Zhu Qing’s body was covered in wounds. She was lying on the ground on her last breath. Because her legs were broken, she couldn’t support her body at all.
How could she still hope to survive? A quick death was already her greatest wish.
Pei Qian brought everyone over, but he wasn’t in a hurry to give them their sentencing. Instead, he continued to sit behind the table as he slowly ground his tea, as if he was waiting for something.
This wait was nothing to Pei Qian, but to the three people at the side, every day felt like a year.
Fortunately, Pei Qian didn’t make them wait for long. Not long after, the curtain at the entrance of the tent moved slightly. Gao Xuwei was led in by Qian He with a puzzled expression.
“Nephew, why did you suddenly call me over?!”
Gao Xuwei didn’t know about the patrol camp yet.
However, this time, the refugee camp had been attacked by the northern barbarians. If not for the help of the other reinforcements, they would have been killed, so he more or less heard of some things.
It was also because he knew that he felt even more guilty and worried when facing Pei Qian.
After all, this matter was related to the defense of the north. Now, he was the general who stabilized the north and oversaw border control of the north!
Under his watch, King Gu Han of the northern barbarians brought thousands of elites under him and barged into the borders of the empire.
If this news spread to the Imperial Court, not to mention losing his position as the general who stabilized the north, even his head would probably roll!
Fortunately, with Pei Qian around, his trip was safe. It was also because he knew Pei Qian’s role in this matter that he was quite polite to Pei Qian.
“Uncle, do you know this person?” Pei Qian ignored Gao Xuwei’s flattery. He only raised his hand slightly and pointed at Dong Ping, who was lying on the ground.
“Hey, isn’t this Lieutenant Dong Ping from the patrol camp?! What’s going on? Didn’t they say that Lieutenant Dong brought people from the patrol camp over to save the day? Why…”
Gao Xuwei didn’t dare to finish speaking.
Actually, from the looks of it, he had most likely guessed that Dong Ping was related to the corruption case in the north that Pei Qian had mentioned to him previously.
However, he had already captured Dong Ping, so why did he call him over?!
“Hey, Nephew, I don’t have ties with Dong Ping!” Gao Xuwei pushed the blame away.
“I also heard from my subordinate that Lieutenant Dong has taken good care of the patrol camp. At first, I thought that he was quite capable. I didn’t expect him to be such a scumbag.
“If you want to punish him, then punish him! He committed such a serious crime, so I naturally have no objections.”
Gao Xuwei smiled obsequiously. His attitude towards Pei Qian was as respectful as he could be.
“But the felony of colluding with the enemy and treason happened in an area in your jurisdiction!
You’re lucky that I came this time!
If I hadn’t come over today, or if I hadn’t been the one in charge of escorting the refugees to the north, would you still be alive?”
Pei Qian appeared calm and composed, as if he didn’t sense Gao Xuwei’s anxiety or worry at all.
“In order to prevent you from making such a low-level mistake again, I’ve specifically prepared a deputy for you. From today onwards, he will be in charge of all the matters of the Northern Battlefront Army!
Uncle, haven’t you always been worried about having no descendants?
Now, you finally have time to work hard for your children!”
Pei Qian raised his head slightly. Before Gao Xuwei could heave a sigh of relief, his next words brought him back to hell. He looked up at Pei Qian in shock and was dumbfounded for a long time before he finally shouted through gritted teeth, “Pei Qian, are you crazy?! How could you…” Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked to the ground by Qian He, who was behind him. His mouth was quickly gagged, and he was tied up by the guards.
When Lu Ze accompanied Lin Suisui in, he saw this scene.
He glanced at Gao Xuwei, who was struggling on the ground and cursing at them. Then, he turned to look at Pei Qian, who was sitting behind the table and brewing tea. “Did the negotiation fail?!”
“What else? Do you really expect him to be grateful?!” Pei Qian raised his hand and gestured for Lu Ze and Lin Suisui to go ahead. Then, he picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. “Erlang, my uncle is stubborn, so I’ll have to trouble you in the future!”
Lu Ze held Lin Suisui’s hand as he walked around the few people kneeling or lying on the ground, or struggling in despair. He picked up the teacup Pei Qian had prepared for them with a calm expression. He first handed a cup to Lin Suisui, then picked up a cup himself and said slowly, “Sure.”
“Madam Liu, have you prepared everything?!” After Pei Qian received Lu Ze’s affirmative answer, he turned to look at Lin Suisui, who was holding a teacup with both hands and drinking tea in small sips.
“It’s ready,” Lin Suisui replied in a low voice. Although the conditions were limited now, she could still concoct what Pei Qian needed with the herbs in the refugee camp.
“This father and daughter say that their medical skills are top-notch, but their private dealings are sinister and vicious. How despicable!” As Pei Qian spoke, Qian He handed a booklet of information from the investigation to Lin Suisui. As Pei Qian gestured for her to open it, he didn’t forget to continue, “Take a look and choose who to punish as a warning to others!”
“Zhu Qing.” Lin Suisui only roughly flipped through the booklet in her hand. Any of the dirty dealings inside were enough to behead the two of them. It was no wonder Pei Qian made them come over.
