"Colonel, we didn't find anything in General Huang's tent!"
Taiyuan, the prison of the Provincial Governor's Residence.
A soldier hurriedly ran up to Fang Gongteng's side and clasped his fist.
Hearing this, Fang Gongteng's expression changed slightly. On the other side, Huang Wu, whose hands and feet were tied, laughed loudly.
"Haha! I say, Colonel Fang, you've been searching for so long, but have you found any evidence? Since there's no evidence, I advise you to release me as soon as possible. Perhaps I'll be in a good mood and forget what happened tonight! Otherwise, I'll definitely report you to the Governor! "
Although the soldier had intentionally lowered his voice, Huang Wu was still a Qi Transformation realm martial artist, and his hearing was far sharper than ordinary people's. Even if he hadn't heard everything, he had heard the gist of it, which was why he was so pleased with himself.
"Even if there's no evidence, Huang Wu, you're still a major suspect. Until this matter is thoroughly investigated, you can only stay here and not go anywhere!"
Fang Gongteng coldly glanced at Huang Wu.
It was clear that he had already thoroughly offended Huang Wu. Since that was the case, he didn't mind offending him a little more. More importantly, the mission to rescue Li Tai had reached an extremely critical juncture. Li Junxian had already said that he would begin the operation at daybreak. At this critical juncture, he would not let Huang Wu go until he had completely eliminated all suspicions! If he ruined Li Junxian's plan to rescue Li Tai, he would have to die ten thousand deaths!
And if Huang Wu really was released without any crime, Fang Gongteng wasn't afraid that this fellow would hold a grudge against him. Putting aside the fact that he was Huang Wu's superior, even if the Imperial Court or the Governor of the Bing Province Subjugation Residence blamed him for this, he would not regret his actions today! Because he knew what was important!
Saving Li Tai was more important than his own future. If he couldn't save Li Tai, not only would he lose his future, many people in the Bing Province Army would suffer as well!
"Are you sure you searched every corner of the tent?"
Fang Gongteng asked the soldier, glancing at Huang Wu.
Right now, Huang Wu was only a suspect, but there was no direct evidence to prove that he had colluded with the Turks. Thus, Fang Gongteng could only find evidence from other sources before convicting him and interrogating him.
According to Zuo Gongquan, Huang Wu had received a "deposit" of four thousand strings of coins from An Shunshan. Four thousand strings of coins was not a small sum. Fang Gongteng thought that if he could find the stolen money on Huang Wu's body or in his tent, then he could basically convict Huang Wu!
"Reporting to the army, this subordinate has searched through all of General Huang's tents, but did not find any money!"
The soldier cupped his fists and said.
Fang Gongteng frowned and fell into deep thought.
The soldier in front of him was his trusted aide, so he naturally didn't suspect that the other party would lie. However, he had already ordered people to search Huang Wu's body and didn't find anything valuable on him. He subconsciously thought that Huang Wu had hidden the four thousand strings of coins in the barracks. However, there wasn't any stolen money in Huang Wu's tent either. For a moment, Fang Gongteng really couldn't think of where Huang Wu would hide the money.
On the side, Huang Wu saw Fang Gongteng's frown and couldn't help but feel even more pleased.
At this moment, the soldier was somewhat hesitant. "Sir, this subordinate heard from the people in the camp that …"
"What did you hear?"
Fang Gongteng's eyes lit up as he hurriedly asked.
