Chapter 235 The Man Behind
Nangong Ze's voice was filled with obvious dissatisfaction and anger as he spoke, "Your Highness, our Nangong family has been guarding the border for generations. Even if we have no merits, we have worked hard. Are you just going to watch the Nangong family suffer such humiliation?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Baili Moqing, watching his reaction. Anger shot through Nangong Ling's eyes. If Nangong Ze hadn't been here, he would have had a good fight with Nanqi no matter what!
After a long while, Baili Moqing finally spoke, "Nangongze, can the words you said today represent what your uncle meant?"
Nangong Ze looked up, his eyes showing a bit of uneasiness and disbelief.
Was the prince warning him? Could it be that, as his father said, if Xiaoyun's situation wasn't handled properly, the relationship between the Nangong family and Prince Dongli would undergo a drastic change?
"Your Majesty, I..."
Nangong Ze suddenly felt hesitant to say more. He was afraid that even a wrong word would change the fate of the Nangong family.
"Baili Moqing, don't mention my father! What happened today was all our own idea and has nothing to do with my father!" Nangong Ling spoke coldly, directly blocking Nangong Ze's retreat.
"This woman not only poisoned my sister, rendering her speechless, but also killed so many victims in the city! As the former King of Dongli, a prince beloved and respected by the people, not only did you not punish this woman, you even protected her at every turn!"
"Baili Moqing, are you worthy of the people's love?"
When Nangong Ze heard these accusations and questions, he felt like the sky was falling!
Baili Moqing sat in a wheelchair, his face as white and translucent as snow, yet cold to the bone.
"What? It was the doctor who poisoned Miss Nangong? Impossible! As a doctor, aren't you supposed to be compassionate and save lives? Why would you poison someone?"
"If it was really the doctor who poisoned people, then wouldn't those of us who died be responsible?"
"It seems that the deaths of Sanzi and the others are really related to this woman!"
When the woman whose husband had died heard these discussions, she burst into tears again, "Your Majesty, you must stand up for the people and stop tolerating the evildoers!"
The people's heated discussions made Shu He's face darken.
This Nangong family is really a troublemaker! The situation was originally under control, but with their arrival, chaos broke out again.
However, Nangong Ling's words made her sense something unusual.
"General Nangong, how did you know that the people in the disaster camp got into trouble because they took my medicine?"
Nangong Ling showed an unnatural look on his face and did not answer directly.
"The Northern Di are eyeing Beisha City covetously. As a vanguard of the Northern Aid Army, you should be stationed outside the city, right?"
"Since you are stationed outside the city, why do you know what is happening inside the city so clearly and so quickly?"
"Even the prince just found out about the incident at the refugee camp, but you, stationed outside the city, actually knew about it even earlier than the prince inside the city!"
Nangong Ling's face looked ugly, and her eyes were full of evasion.
Shu He's gaze fell on Su Su and Yang You standing beside him. "Or perhaps, Inspector Su and Lieutenant Yang didn't even have time to report to the prince, but instead sent the news to the vanguard general of the Northern Aid Camp first?"
When the two noticed her gaze, they immediately explained, "No, no!"
"Your Highness, I just learned about this matter. I rushed here immediately after receiving the news and did not inform anyone else!"
After Su Su finished explaining, Yang You followed suit, "Yes, yes, I don't have time to inform others!"
Shu He was not surprised at all. He turned to look at Nangong Ling and pressed forward step by step.
"That's strange. Could it be that General Nangong has clairvoyance? Super hearing? Can he know everything about the world without leaving his house?"
These words made Nangong Ze feel a little doubtful.
Yeah, why did Xiaoyun drag the second and third brothers into trouble when everything was fine? She even knew about the disaster relief camp in the north of the city! Could it be that someone was plotting something bad behind this?
"Does it matter? Why do you care how I know this? I'm just asking you, are these facts?"
Nangong Ling questioned angrily, causing Shu He to sneer and look at him as if he were a fool.
She turned her gaze to Nangong Ze and saw that his expression was gloomy and there was already some anger in his eyes. She guessed that he should understand what she meant.
"Master Nangong, do you think this is important?"
Nangong Ze was silent, staring at her with a pair of eyes as sharp as a hunting falcon. He felt a little fear and admiration for this woman in his heart.
Before he could say anything, Nangong Ling stepped forward and continued to question him, "Stop beating around the bush! I'm asking you, are you going to detoxify my sister?"
Shu He glanced at Nangong Xiyun. She was still crying. His eyes were full of resentment and there was no regret at all.
"Second Young Master Nangong, something happened in the refugee camp. It happened so suddenly and quickly that no one could react, yet you were the first to get the news. Do I have reason to suspect that you were responsible for those people's deaths?"
Nangong Ling was stunned, and then he shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why should I kill those people?"
"Because you want to seek medical treatment for your sister!" Shu He continued with a smile on his face, "If not, how could you have known something you shouldn't have known in the first place? And you even ran to Biluoyuan to question the prince and me? As if you had witnessed me poisoning and killing the people with your own eyes."
Zhang Zhirou also understood, "Nangong Ling, could it be that you poisoned those people? Is it to frame my sister He and force her to treat your sister's illness?"
"What?! Did someone deliberately poison someone? Just to get the doctor lady to treat the illness?"
"If this is true, then these princes and nobles really don't care about human life! Aren't they treating the lives of us ordinary people as worthless?"
"What Nangong family? What great general of the National Defense Army? They are clearly a bunch of conscienceless beasts!"
Nangong Ze and Nangong Ling's expressions became increasingly ugly when they heard these harsh words. Especially Nangong Ling, his brows were throbbing with anger. If his eyes could kill, he would have skinned this woman alive long ago!
This woman almost ruined the Nangong family's reputation with just a few words!
"Nangong Ling! What the hell is going on?!"
Although Nangong Ze didn't believe that Nangong Ling had done this, the matter itself was strange. Even if it wasn't him, there must be someone behind it!
"Big, big brother..."
Nangong Ling looked at Nangong Xiyun hesitantly. She was shaking her head at him, asking him not to reveal the person.
But if he doesn't say it, how can he clear himself of suspicion?
“Nangong Ling!!”
Nangong Ze suppressed the anger in his heart, and even his voice was a little hoarse. Looking at him like this, it was clear that he was really being used as a pawn!
And at this time, he actually chose to protect that person! It was simply stupid!
"Yes Yes……"
Nangong Xiyun rushed up quickly, grabbed Nangong Ling's arm, her eyes full of pleading.
She had promised that person that she would not tell anyone else about this. If her second brother told anyone, she would definitely not help her anymore!
Seeing this, Nangong Ze grabbed Nangong Xiyun's wrist tightly, with a hint of indifference and threat in his eyes.
"Nangong Xiyun! You don't want to talk again in your life, right?"
The cold tone made her body tremble. She looked at him in disbelief, not understanding why her brother, who always loved her, would speak to her in such a tone?
Throwing Nangong Xiyun to the third brother, Nangong Ze stared at Nangong Ling again and asked again, "Tell me, who told you this?"
His gaze was like a mountain, pressing down on Nangong Ling so hard that she couldn't breathe.
Apart from his father, the person he fears most is his eldest brother.
"Yes, it's Zhu Zifeng's maid, Ziying..."
