Everyone in the barracks frowned.

Although they understood the pain of the Chen family's bereavement, they couldn't bear the fact that they would dismiss their names when they came up and talk about the Li family's farming background.

A deputy general stepped forward to tear Chen's family away and persuaded loudly, "Commander Chen, my condolences! It's time to calm down and find out the cause of Chen He's death is the most important thing."

"What is the cause of death? He was killed by you!" Chen He's father was almost crazy, and asked with red eyes, "You said, is it because my son didn't give you money, so you treated him harshly? This matter Son, we are not finished, I want to avenge my son!"

The Elder Chen and the Second Elder also nodded, Elder Chen said: "Xiao He died in your barracks, don't try to find an excuse to cover up the fact that he was killed by you!"

Everyone in the barracks clenched their fists and tried their best to endure, so they didn't beat the three of them to the ground.

It was Lord Hou who slapped the table to stop the noise.

He glanced coldly at the three brothers of the Chen family, and said in a cold voice: "Chen He trained with thousands of soldiers, performed exercises together, and was never physically punished. The other thousands of soldiers are safe and sound, only he died suddenly!

"Even if you sue the imperial court, it has nothing to do with General Li!"

Chen Chuan gritted his teeth with hatred, and yelled, "Master Hou is saying that my son deserves to die, and no one is to blame?!"

Lord Hou didn't nod, but threw out the jade box and the long tobacco rod, and asked, "Did your family bring these things to Chen He?

"Especially what is in the jade box? If you can explain clearly, the cause of Chen He's death will naturally come to light."

The three brothers of the Chen family looked at the long tobacco rod and the jade box, looked at each other, and shook their heads.

Chen Chuan's eyes were still full of hatred, he sneered and said: "Chen He never smokes dry tobacco, if it is incense, it is possible.

"Master Hou just wants to shirk responsibility, so it's better to choose a more reliable reason."

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but scolded, "Presumptuous! A small Chen family is not worth our Hou Ye's trouble! This thing is used by Chen He every day in the barracks, and he and the soldiers in the tent can testify!

"Furthermore, there was no deduction of food from him in the camp, let alone corporal punishment on him, but he was so disfigured, it was all due to these two things!

"If you are like this, not only do you not cooperate, but you also want to believe that our Northern Expeditionary Army deliberately killed a small soldier, it is ridiculous!

"You dare to smear Lord Hou, even if your Chen family doesn't sue, our Northern Expedition Army will not let it go!"

Perhaps the three brothers of the Chen family were overwhelmed and shut up for a while, but their expressions were obviously not convinced.

Lord Hou sneered, "Chen He is not only a child of your Chen family, but also a member of our Northern Expeditionary Army. The cause of his death, this Marquis must thoroughly investigate to the end no matter what.

"Of course, it is even more important to return General Li's innocence! Otherwise, which general would still devote himself to training soldiers in the future?

"If your Chen family is willing to cooperate, it will be better, if not, then keep your mouth shut and wait for us to find out!

"All the exploits and prestige of the Northern Expeditionary Army were forged with blood, sweat and lives, no one is allowed to slander at will!

"If the Marquis finds out about it, and you slander everywhere, don't blame the Marquis for being ruthless!"

All the generals quickly gathered beside Lord Hou, and also looked coldly at the three brothers of the Chen family.

Cold, iron-blooded!

The three brothers of the Chen family, who were forced by the powerful momentum, were startled and lowered their heads subconsciously.

Chen Chuan finally softened his tone, bowed his hands and said: "Master Hou, please calm down, we don't believe that the Northern Expedition Army killed the child in our family, but please understand the pain of losing our son...

"After I go back, I will ask my old wife. I am usually busy with work, and Chen He's luggage is packed by my old wife..."

Lord Hou stopped talking, and nodded at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng turned around and went out, and quickly led someone to carry the simple coffin to the tent.

Seeing his son lying in the cold coffin in a miserable description, Chen Chuan couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

Master Chen and Master Chen also wiped their tears and patted the coffin, wishing to die instead of their nephew!

Li Yong asked the military doctor to come forward and said those few words that dead wood is easy to break.

The three brothers of the Chen family didn't know if they believed it or not, but they didn't make any more trouble, they just urged the servants to carry the coffin onto the carriage.

Seeing the Chen family leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yong couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "What kind of shit is this? Chinese New Year is coming soon, can people still live in peace!"

The rest also sighed.

It stands to reason that there is a casualty in the barracks, which is simply too normal.

Just a few days ago, a horse-raising veteran was accidentally kicked to death by a fierce horse.

But these young master soldiers are quite different from ordinary soldiers.

Rather than expecting them to go into battle to kill the barbarians, it is better to say that they are hostages.

Force the court and civil and military officials to attach importance to the Northern Expedition Army, and dare not easily make things difficult for the hostages of the Northern Expedition Army!

Now that the hostage is dead, it is still unclear.

The family members were full of hatred because their son came in standing up and went out sideways.

The Northern Expeditionary Army did not have rough training and treated food harshly, which was also extremely wronged.

If this matter is not handled properly, the conflict between the two sides will explode at any moment...

No matter how he thought about it, Li Laosi felt that today's incident was strange, and after the crowd had dispersed, he found Hou Ye in private, "Hou Ye, something is wrong with this matter, I always feel that someone is plotting behind the scenes.

"Either it's targeting the Northern Expedition, or it's targeting our family. I want to go back, talk to my second brother, and investigate the Chen family."

Hou Ye naturally thought of it, and replied: "If it is for the Northern Conquest, it is nothing more than targeting the military power in my hand, using Chen He's death to stir up dissatisfaction and panic among the families, and trap the Northern Conquest Army in a difficult situation.

"If it is aimed at the Li family, then the opponent can almost be delineated in those few.

"Uncle has been watching those few houses recently, after you go back, cooperate with Uncle to step up the investigation, and you need someone to call.

"Now that I'm in the clear, it's not easy to do anything, so I can only work hard for you."

Li Laosi cupped his hands and saluted, "Master Hou is serious, I will go back now."

After all, he went to find Li Yong and Jiang Cheng, explained the errands in his hand, and brought a few soldiers back to Broken Gold Beach.

At the same time, in the Hundred Gardens, Li's second child was also taking a jade box and looking it over carefully.

The small box, without any engravings, looks very ordinary.

There were some caramel-colored ointments in the box, which were thick and greasy.

He didn't see anything strange, so he asked Zheng Sanjiang, "You said that this thing was brought out from Yaochi, and it was considered very important by the people there?"

Zheng Sanjiang nodded, and replied: "That garden is very heavily guarded, I sneaked in, wasted a lot of effort, and finally hid under a wooden bridge.

"A young boy walked across the bridge with several jade boxes, and I heard them say that if you lose one, you will be beaten to death.

"It just so happened that the boy slipped and overturned the tray, so I picked one up.

"Those two boys actually went into the water in such a cold winter just to get back this box. It must be really important."
