The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 55 Something else is strange
As soon as he said this, everyone, including Jiang Lanxuan, turned their eyes to him.

"How can you say that? Your uncle has already pinned the person down on the spot."

Jiang Lanxuan was very angry.

After all, this kind of dereliction of duty to the point where everyone was drunk on the job had never happened before, whether it was at the horse farm or when they were just transferred to Xinmin.

"Dad, I want to meet this Xu Min."

Without waiting for his father to speak, Jiang Cheng turned around and said to Yang Hong, "Deputy Captain Yang, please bring the person to me!"

When Jiang Lanxuan was scolding him just now, this guy was trembling with fear and kept his head down;
Upon hearing this, he immediately looked up at his immediate superior, saluted in fear after getting his approval, then turned around and ran away.

"Feilan, have you discovered something wrong?"

Jiang Lanxuan raised his eyes and looked back at him, "Didn't you bring the man named Cai back to look for his daughter yesterday?"

"You haven't seen the situation at the city gate tower either."

Upon hearing about the unfortunate father and daughter of the Cai family, Jiang Cheng felt speechless.

"I didn't see her, but I heard from old man Cai Junheng that he took people to look for his daughter in the city and went around all four towers."

"But I didn't seem to hear him say anything unusual..."

At this point his face darkened, "I think there must be something wrong here, I should call him over and ask him about it in detail."

As they were talking, the man was brought up by two soldiers led by Yang Hong.

He was tied up with hemp ropes like a turtle for stewing soup, with blood and dirt all over his face and body. It was obvious that he had been caught by Gao Wensheng and had been beaten up.

He looked around the study in panic and fell to his knees, crying out, "Captain! Captain, please spare my life..."

Jiang Lanxuan was already furious, and when he saw his cowardly behavior, he became even more furious.

If his son hadn't said there was something fishy going on, he would have wanted to have him dragged to the entrance of Chaishi Alley and shot on the spot.

Glancing at his father's extremely impatient expression, Jiang Cheng spoke slowly, "If you answer honestly, perhaps I, Jiang Feilan, will spare your life."

He stepped forward and asked coldly, "When Ximen took your shift yesterday, how many people did you lead and what time was your shift?"

Does he still need to answer this question?

Gao Wensheng turned his puzzled look towards him - Yang Hong had always been in charge of the security in the city, and he was also in charge of the scheduling of the four city gates. Wouldn't it be better to ask him directly?

The unfortunate Xu Min, who was kneeling on the ground, was also startled, but when he heard the possibility of mercy, he quickly explained the situation in detail.

"That is to say, you took over the shift at about twelve o'clock yesterday, right?"

Jiang Cheng put his hands in his pockets, and stared at him slowly, "Have you seen Captain Cai from the provincial capital?"

"Ah, I saw him! Almost. I saw him not long after I changed shifts!"

In a panic, he answered without thinking, "He came to look for his daughter and asked if we had seen her—"

"I haven't even seen what Miss Cai looks like, and he even talked about her clothes and appearance..."

What a fool he really is. He was fooled by just a few words.

"Haha, you're pretty honest, Captain Xu."

Jiang Cheng laughed out loud, suddenly grabbed his collar and lifted him up into the air, "Fuck you, you dare to lie to us!"

"Tell me, who on earth let you let the Mongolian bandits in?"

Such a sudden change of expression frightened him so much that he stared with dead eyes for a long time and then blinked his eyes out of consciousness. The other people in the office were also stunned: they couldn't figure out how Jiang Cheng could infer from these that Xu Min had colluded with others and deliberately let the Mongolian bandits in.

"Master, you are wronged!"

How could he admit it?

Collaborating with the enemy from both inside and outside is a much more serious crime than drunken dereliction of duty!

"Oh, you still don't admit it, right?"

Jiang Cheng pushed him to the ground fiercely, stepped on his back with his military boots, and slowly pressed his face to the ground, "Don't think I can't see--"

"Captain Cai and I encountered the Mongolian bandits last night. They attacked us from both sides of the street."

"That is to say, almost as soon as Captain Cai left you, the Mongolian bandits started burning, killing and looting on Dalius Street..."

Jiang Cheng increased his strength and roared, "Xu, you don't mean to tell me that you are still drinking and eating meat in the city gate tower when the gunfire is continuous?"

He couldn't help but let out a scream under the heavy pressure, but what Young Master Jiang said made him collapse far more than anything else.

His hair almost stood up on his uniform, but he couldn't say a word.

"Yes, what's going on!"

Yang Hong was also anxious. He squatted on the ground and yelled at him, "You saw that Captain Cai was not drunk yet, but you were drunk and passed out after he left for a while!"

"What's going on? Tell me clearly! If you don't, I'll shoot you!"

As the team leader, he will also be held jointly responsible for his subordinates' dereliction of duty and drunkenness. However, if he can prove that this guy is in collusion with others, he will be able to clear himself of the charges to the greatest extent.

No answer.

Xu Min turned into a coward and kept silent. Yang Hongyang was so angry that he slapped him on the head several times. Xu Min was confused but still kept silent.

"This is a scumbag. We need to use some extreme measures."

Jiang Lanxuan raised his eyelids and looked at the two soldiers standing by the door. "Drag them out and beat them up!"

"Hey, just listen to me on this little matter."

Facing his reckless attitude, Jiang Cheng laughed instead, "Dad, have you heard about how the ancient Rouran people tamed their slaves?"

It was obviously meant for this unfortunate person to hear, and Jiang Lanxuan, who came from a scholarly family, knew about this. He immediately said, "Of course I've heard of it—"

"Take the slaves that have been prepared in advance, strip them naked from the waist up, and place them on a rack. Then shave their heads and kill a camel. Before the blood dries, glue the camel skin to the slave's head."

Gao Wensheng also echoed the sentiment: "Yes, this method is very good for training slaves. When the camel skin dries up, it will cling to the head tightly. If you don't give it food or water, just expose it to the sun."

"After two or three days, once my hair grows out, it will be pushed upside down by the camel skin and pierced into my scalp... Wow, that's so comfortable."

Jiang Cheng also laughed more happily: "Yes, I have only read about this in ancient books, but I have never seen it with my own eyes."

"But uncle, there are no camels in our county, so we can't play this game."

Gao Wensheng shook his head and smiled: "Well, why do you have to talk about camels? It's the same with horses. We have plenty of horses!"

When they were discussing how to deal with him, Xu Min was horrified, but he hadn't figured out what to do.
Yang Hong on the side said loudly: "Don't bother with this, sirs. Leave it to me!"

As he said this, he bent down and was about to pick him up with his own hands. He was so anxious that he immediately shouted loudly: "Don't, don't!"

"Sirs, let me tell you everything, isn't that enough?"
