I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Novel - Chapter 161
161 A Trap
It would have been fine if the matter had passed quietly, but they had caused a ruckus!
Dong Ping relied on the power of the Dong family to go against Prince Huai Yang, whose family had fallen from its peak. In the end, there got into a fight on the streets. Dong Ping and Prince Huai Yang were fine, but for some reason, when the only son of another loyal family came to watch the commotion, he was beheaded by an ax thrown by someone…
Duke Zhongyi only had one son. When the bad news came, Uncle Zhongyi vomited blood on the spot and cried miserably. That day, he struggled to get up and pounced into the King’s Palace. He hugged the minister’s thigh and cried until his voice was hoarse.
In the end, Dong Ping was demoted to the northern region, and Prince Huai Yang lost his position as the heir. Now, he had also gone to a barren land in the south to become a county magistrate.
!!
Pei Qian naturally despised Dong Ping.
Pei Qian didn’t expect that Dong Ping would be the one in charge of the patrol camp. What surprised Pei Qian even more was that he actually received the news so quickly!
Originally, he thought that Dong Ping had turned over a new leaf…
However, in the blink of an eye, his true colors were completely exposed!
Dong Ping didn’t expect Pei Qian to expose him in public. For a moment, his face turned livid. He couldn’t be bothered to exchange pleasantries with Pei Qian anymore. He snorted heavily and turned to leave.
“Follow me!” After the surrounding people dispersed, Pei Qian suddenly turned to Lin Suisui and Lu Ze as he said.
Lu Ze didn’t say anything else. He held Lin Suisui’s hand and followed Pei Qian back to the tent where they had just discussed things.
“I don’t trust Dong Ping!”
Pei Qian said bluntly without any pretense or concealment. He went straight to the point. “People like him are very utilitarian!
Moreover, the Dong family had always been on the Third Prince’s side!
According to the current situation, he’s one of the people who wants something bad to happen to me the most! Why would he rush over personally after receiving my uncle’s transfer order?!”
“Perhaps he just wants to see you in a sorry state?!”
Lin Suisui blinked and tried to answer, but Pei Qian rolled his eyes at her.
“My wife is just an ordinary woman. She naturally doesn’t understand all these schemes.” Before Pei Qian could speak, Lu Ze couldn’t stand it anymore and stopped Pei Qian from complaining. “If you have any plans, please make it short.”
“You guys discovered it first. I just worsened this speculation!” Pei Qian choked, but he knew that now wasn’t the time to argue.
He explained his guess very briefly. “I suspect that Dong Ping is also involved in this matter of colluding with the enemy to sell ordnance and population.
Therefore, he should have also received news that the witnesses and evidence for this matter were all in our refugee camp. Although there’s no evidence, after knowing that the northern barbarians have already entered the border…
No, perhaps they had planned for the northern barbarians to enter the border!
However, Dong Ping didn’t expect Gao Xuwei to give me the private seal so readily. More importantly, we’re safe from the wolves!
Therefore, after receiving Gao Xuwei’s order, he was worried that something might happen if he handed the matter over to others, so he decided to bring people over personally. It would naturally be good if there was a chance to poison us all, but if not…
When the northern barbarians attack us, they can also cooperate from the inside and stab us in the back!
As for him, he might have even thought of a way out!
Anyway, there were northern barbarians. Wouldn’t this matter be settled if they blamed everything on the northern barbarians?!
“They can even pin the blame on Gao Xuwei. In that case, be it the Pei family or the families related to the Pei family, we will all be scapegoats!”
Pei Qian’s words were not an exaggeration.
If it were anyone else, after hearing this, they would definitely be in disbelief and tell him not to falsely accuse Dong Ping!
No matter what, Dong Ping immediately brought people over after receiving the order!
But at this moment, Pei Qian suspected Dong Ping’s motives…
This seemed unkind!
However, neither Lin Suisui nor Lu Ze felt that there was anything wrong with Pei Qian’s speculation!
Lin Suisui and the others knew the various problems the refugee camp was facing very well.
It seemed that they were still harmonious for the time being, but if they waited a little longer and Pei Qian’s speculation became true, the lives of more than a thousand people in the refugee camp would be in their hands!
“My plan is to capture the leader first!” Pei Qian paused after saying. Seeing that Lin Suisui and Lu Ze were listening to him carefully, he continued, “I plan to find an excuse to invite Dong Ping over for a drink. Then, I’ll take him down!
This way, not only can we avoid causing too much commotion, but we can also temporarily control the situation and prevent internal strife!”
“But what if Dong Ping doesn’t take the bait?!” Lin Suisui paused. She clearly disagreed with Pei Qian’s idea and said, “In that case, we can’t just wait and see!”
“Then do you have any better suggestions?!” Pei Qian raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Suisui very politely, waiting for her answer.
Lin Suisui stammered and subconsciously turned to look at Lu Ze, who was standing beside her. Although Lu Ze didn’t know what she wanted to say, with his understanding during this period of time, he could more or less imagine how shocking her next suggestion would be.
“Since you want to capture the leader first, why don’t you go all out and restrain all the soldiers who came with him?!”
Lin Suisui spoke in a soft voice and very quickly, but Pei Qian still heard her.
“You mean to ask me to kill all the soldiers from the patrol camp this time?!” Pei Qian raised his eyebrows. He had to admit that Lin Suisui’s suggestion was really unexpected!
However, at the moment, such a rough method was often more straightforward and effective!
However, before Pei Qian could say anything, Lu Ze retorted indifferently, “Mr. Pei, my wife has always been benevolent and kind. How could she give you such an idea?! What she means is that you can use a gentler method to do this instead of killing them!”
