Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 358: Lu Cangjiang was eaten by a wolf

He forgot that his brother-in-law was so arrogant because he relied on him. If General Wang An hadn't given him face, he would have put his brother-in-law in jail. But he gave him this face and let him walk around outside.

Lieutenant General Lu also had a backup plan. When the Ninth Prince came over, he had been trying to get close to him, and he actually got an opportunity. That is, if there was something important in the border town, he could send a message to the Ninth Prince, and he could be considered his informant.

Lieutenant General Lu thought, don't blame me for being unjust if you are unkind, so he distorted the facts and wrote a letter expressing dissatisfaction with Wang An, and sent it to the family that the Ninth Prince asked him to deliver.

After receiving the letter, the Ninth Prince saw that it said Wang An retaliated against him and sent him away and no longer used him. It would be difficult for him to get important information in the future, so he hoped that the Ninth Prince would find a way to help him. In addition, Wang An was disloyal to the court and wanted to establish himself as king.

The Ninth Prince had just returned from Fenggu City and had some understanding of General Wang An. How could he be fooled so easily? After he destroyed the letter, he sent people to secretly investigate these matters. He had secret agents in Fenggu City, so this was not a difficult task.

Lieutenant General Lu underestimated the Ninth Prince. He always thought that he was still young and easy to fool. As long as he could fool him, he could help him clear the obstacles. Fenggu City would be his sooner or later. Some fools were just mysteriously confident.

Soon, the Ninth Prince's men investigated General Lu and knew why he passed on false information to the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince was too disdainful to deal with such a person, so he passed the news directly to General Wang An.

When General Wang An received the letter, in addition to explaining the incident, there was also a reminder from the Ninth Prince. He read the letter and laughed at the end, laughing at himself for being too kind to some people. Indulging such fools was the greatest harm to himself.

He felt that he had been living too peacefully recently, which made him too lenient to his subordinates. Just a slight punishment made him want to frame him. It seemed that people with bad behavior should never be reused.

He directly arranged for someone to create an accident, causing Lieutenant General Lu to get lost and encounter a pack of wolves, who attacked and killed him. Of course, there was nothing left of his body, and in the end, some of his body parts were carried back to his home in a cloth bag.

General Wang An knew that if he didn't take action, this Lu guy would do something else. He would definitely find a chance to frame him until the Wang family was ruined. He would not give him this chance, the Ninth Prince's hint was too clear.

On this side, the wife of the lieutenant general and his three concubines burst into tears when they received the corpses, and the children also cried loudly. Both adults and children were in a panic and didn't know what to do.

After all, the housekeeper was quite old, so he quickly took charge of the overall situation, bought a coffin, set up a mourning shed, and prepared to handle the funeral. Some people from the army also came to help with the funeral and brought a sum of money for the funeral.

Wen Bao hadn't settled down yet when he heard that his brother-in-law had an accident, so he rushed over to see what happened. When he got here, he found out that he was eaten by a wolf. He was very sad, wondering how a healthy person could die.

Her sister was kneeling beside the coffin in mourning. When she saw him coming, she hurried out to thank him. She pulled him aside and said to him anxiously, "Leopard, find a way to help my sister. Otherwise, after the funeral, my sister will probably be sold or driven out by my wife."

Wen Bao was also surprised and said, "That shouldn't be the case! You have a daughter, you can't just sell her off! As for kicking her out, that's even better. You don't want to be a widow forever, do you?"

Her sister said, "We don't know what will happen. I used to have a bad relationship with her. If your brother-in-law dies, what good will happen to me?"

Wen Bao comforted her sister: "Don't worry, sister. As soon as my brother-in-law is buried, I will come with my aunt and uncle to take you home. I will tell them that you are too sad and that you are too sad to think about your brother-in-law here. Go home and change your place to relax. If you leave and don't come back, we will have the final say."

After they agreed, Wen Bao did not leave, but stayed to help entertain the guests. The soldiers in the army did not know the whole story, and they all felt sorry for Lieutenant General Lu. Those who could come came to pay their respects.
