Chapter 107 I framed you, so what?
Gu Xi thought for a while, sneered, and said:
"General Wu Chi, since you are so open-minded, why are you afraid of confronting Ruger? Major General, I will bring Ruger here. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it! As long as you do it, there will always be evidence!"
After Gu Xi finished speaking, he reluctantly walked out of the tent step by step.
Not long after, two soldiers carrying Luger came in behind Gu Xi.
Although Luger looked pale, he was conscious.
Gu Xi nodded towards Chu Zhao, indicating that he could ask questions.
"Ruger, do you know the person next to you?" Chu Zhao asked.
Luger turned his head with difficulty, glanced at Wu Chi, and replied in Turkic:
"I know him. He is Wu Chi, the general of your Northwest Army."
Half of the centurions present knew Turkic, and they also translated for those who did not.
Chu Zhao asked again, "Oh? Then tell me, how did you two meet?"
Luger snorted coldly: "This greedy guy, I just gave him two boxes of gold, and he agreed to help me rescue the Turkic royal family."
When Wu Chi heard this, he couldn't help but curse his personal soldiers in his heart. He clearly only received one box of gold, and it was most likely that the brat had intercepted one box.
But he would definitely deny it and roared at Luger:
"You Turkic bastard, stop slandering me! This general has never accepted the so-called gold you mentioned!"
He had already moved the gold away long ago. There is no evidence, and you want to convict him based on the empty accusation of a Turkic prisoner. No way!
Although Luger's voice was weak, he still managed to hold on and curse loudly.
"You dishonest bastard, you took my money and refused to acknowledge it, and you even wanted to kill me to silence me. I curse you to die a miserable death!"
Gu Xi certainly knew that he would never admit it, because this so-called confession of Ruger was originally made up by them, but they did not expect that it was so close to the truth.
Chu Zhao pointed at the two captains and said:
"Li Dong, Zhou Yi, take your men to search Wu Chi's tent to see if there is any evidence!"
The two men received the order and went out.
Zhou Yi naturally did not believe what the Turkic captives said, and he kept complaining as he walked.
"General Wu just wanted to kill a prisoner. The young general is making a fuss out of nothing. It's the middle of the night and the whole army is worried!"
Li Dong stopped him and said, "Stop talking, we just need to follow orders."
The two of them took people to search Wu Chi's tent. Wu Chi looked calm, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.
Idiot, it's been so long, who would leave evidence in their tent waiting to be searched?
When Li Dong and Zhou Yi return empty-handed, he will ask the major general for an explanation!
However, before long, Li Dong and Zhou Yi hurried into the big tent, with the soldiers behind them carrying two large boxes.
"Reporting to the Major General, we have dug out two boxes of gold under the tent of Deputy General Wu!" Li Dong said as he glared at Wu Chi angrily.
Zhou Yi became even angrier. Wu Chi was their immediate superior and he had always respected Wu Chi. He never thought that Wu Chi was actually a traitor!
The men in the army have a clear distinction between love and hate. The more they defended Wu Chi just now, the more they hate him now.
The soldier put the box on the ground and opened it. It was full of golden ingots.
Although the box was covered in mud, it was clearly made of Turkic material and had Turkish characters carved on it.
It must be from the Turks. Gu Xi copied it from the Turkic treasury.
Wu Chi's heart skipped a beat, his face changed drastically, and he said in disbelief:
"This is impossible!"
He was sure that he had never seen the two boxes of gold. Even if he did accept a bribe from Luger, that box was much smaller than this one.
"We've caught the criminal red-handed, Wu Chi, what else do you have to say?" Chu Zhao stood up and looked down at Wu Chi lying on the ground.
Wu Chi's angry and horrified eyes flashed across Chu Zhao and Gu Xi's faces, and suddenly he laughed like crazy:
"It's you! You framed me!"
Gu Xi shrugged his shoulders, with a hint of smugness on his face, as if to say, yes, I framed you, bite me if you have the guts!
There is no morality in dealing with scum who collaborates with the enemy, betrays the country and harms his compatriots. He must be killed by some means.
There are always many people who do evil in the world, but because their methods are sophisticated, others cannot find evidence and can only let the evildoers go unpunished.
But these won't work on Gu Xi. Even if she can't make Wu Chi confess, she will find a way to kill him.
"Wu Chi, this general is reluctant to punish you because of your past military achievements. But now you have committed a capital crime and the evidence is conclusive, so I can only hand you over to the Ministry of War." Chu Zhao's face was as gloomy as water.
There were also several captains who were loyal to Wu Chi. After seeing this, they hesitated for a moment and pleaded with Chu Zhao:
"Major General, there may be something hidden in this matter. Why don't we wait for the general to come back before making a decision?"
Obviously, they thought Chu Zhao was too young and too arbitrary. What if Wu Chi was wronged?
At this time, Li Dong gritted his teeth, stepped forward and bowed:
"Major General, I am willing to testify that I reported to Vice General Wu twice last night that there might be a war ahead, but Vice General Wu kept delaying, which may have delayed military operations!"
When Li Dong said this, everyone was shocked.
Among these centurions, Li Dong was the most capable. He had always been Wu Chi's right-hand man and the person Wu Chi trusted the most. What he said at this time must not be without reason. Those centurions who were hesitant immediately stopped talking and believed Wu Chi's betrayal a little more in their hearts.
Wu Chi looked at Li Dong in shock, struggling and cursing:
"Li Dong, you bastard, I have treated you well, but you actually gave false testimony to slander me just to please Chu Zhao, a yellow-haired brat!"
Just as he was about to stand up, Lu Xiaowu and Wu Dajiang used a little force and pinned him to the ground.
Wu Chi lay on the ground, still shouting:
"Chu Zhao, you little brat! I have fought for your Chu Army for many years, but you are jealous of my talent and want to kill me! Even if I die, I will not let you go!"
Chu Zhao looked down at him and said loudly, "Wu Chi, you have colluded with the enemy and committed treason. The evidence is irrefutable! There is no point in making excuses. I advise you to confess your guilt as soon as possible and avoid physical pain!"
Wu Chi struggled and cursed at the same time. Gu Xi thought his curses were too harsh, so he took out the electric baton from Luger's stretcher and poked Wu Chi gently with it.
“Ahhhh!” Wu Chi felt an electric current passing through his body, causing his entire body to twitch in pain. Soon he rolled his eyes and could no longer curse.
Gu Xi retracted the electric baton and pointed the tip of the baton at Wu Chi. A bit of powder flicked out from his fingertips.
This powder is not lethal, but it can make it difficult for people to control their inner thoughts when they are emotionally excited. When they are excited, many of their true thoughts may come out of their mouths.
