Everyone looked at this scene and felt fear in their hearts. Chu Tang's attack was so fast that people couldn't react. If they fought him, wouldn't they be sent to death?

Indeed, in Chu Tang's eyes, everyone's movements seemed slow, and there was no pressure in the fight.

Chu Tang spoke domineeringly, "Go back to the cell by yourself, or should I send you to see Hades?"

Those who escaped from prison obediently went back to their cells, dying would be better than living.

The jailers were stunned. This was the easiest time in their careers to catch prisoners. If there were a few more people like the young master, it would be easier for them to manage.

The jailer stepped forward to salute, "Young master, may I ask you..."

Chen Yi directly flashed the token, "We are ordered by General Chen to interrogate the prisoner of the Military Supplies Department."

The prison chief nodded and bowed, full of compliments, "Young master, please."

Everyone called him the young master, Chu Tang looked at himself, did he really look like the young master of the big family?

Following the head of the prison, Chu Tang came to the cell where the Military Supplies Division was held, the deepest part of the prison.

The head of the cell asked the jailer to open the door, and then respectfully asked Chu Tang, "Please, young master."

There are five prisoners in the cell, all of whom were once important officials of the Military Supplies Department, but now they are all in a mess and stink.

Chu Tang asked Chen Yi and Chen Er to stay at the door of the cell, and he went in alone.

As soon as he walked in, Chu Tang's expression changed. Those people were already dead, and they had just died. "Cellmaster, who has come in here?"

The cell boss didn't know, so he said, "Young master, no one has ever come in here."

Chu Tang said sternly, "Then why did they die?"

The cell leader's face changed drastically, and he hurried forward to check. After the check, he panicked, "It's really dead. The body is still hot. It must have just been killed, young master. The other party must have killed him while we were catching escaped prisoners."

Chu Tang looked back at the jailer who asked to guard the key, "Who took the key from you?"

The jailer didn't speak. He looked around and searched the crowd. Suddenly a dart flew over and hit him in the throat. Then a figure ran out of the cell.

Everyone felt something flash in front of them, and the next second Chu Tang slipped a person back and threw him on the ground.

Everyone was dumbfounded, this speed was probably faster than lightning!

That was the person who was about to escape from the prison just now. When Chu Tang came over, he hid in the dark and didn't find him.

Chu Tang removed his limbs, cut off all means of suicide, and then went to rescue the jailer who was shot by a dart, but the dart was poisonous, and the jailer was already dead.

Chu Tang walked towards the captured man, he pulled off the man's mask, not recognizing him, "Do you know him?"

Everyone shook their heads unanimously, "I don't know."

Chu Tang kicked the other party, "Who are you from? Did you kill those people from the Military Supplies Department?"

The man stared at Chu Tang in hatred, and was about to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but Chu Tang slapped him across the face, and then pointed his sword at the man's brow, "Tell me, who are you from?"

The man twisted his face and spoke with difficulty, "Second Prince."

The faces of all the people present changed. How could it be the second prince? Now that they have heard the secret, the second prince will not kill them to silence it, will he?

Chu Tang frowned, Dongling was too messy, "Did the second prince ask you to steal the arrows? Where are the arrows?"

"The arrow has been sold, you can't get it back." The man grimaced, helpless and angry, how did he say it? !

Chu Tang seized the time to ask, "How did they get the arrows out of the military operation? How about the money? Who is the buyer?"

The man said, "I don't know how they shipped it out, but the money from the sale naturally went into the pocket of the second prince. As for the buyer, you can buy whatever you need. It's a secret deal, who knows who it is!"

Chu Tang frowned, "Are all the arrows sold out?"

The man said, "The arrows have been sold out a long time ago, and everyone is rushing to get them. As soon as they were brought out, the arrows were bought."

Chu Tang really admired these people, who actually stole military supplies to buy them. If they can come up with such a complicated idea, can't they do some serious business?

"Who is your master?"

The man said, "Second Prince's subordinate, Xiao He!"

Chu Tang thought about what to do next, but didn't speak for a while, and the cell boss asked cautiously, "Young master, what should we do next?"

Chu Tang glanced at the head of the cell, "Take good care of the cell, not only someone escaped from the prison, but also ordered to kill all the important prisoners. You, the head of the cell, are too dereliction of duty."

The cell boss quickly said, "Young master has taught you a good lesson, we will definitely correct it in the future."

Chu Tang didn't say anything more, and called Chen Yi and Chen Er back to the barracks, "General Chen, what did you find out during the interrogation?"

General Chen's face was extremely ugly, "They happened to be the people on the military supply line. They colluded and replaced the arrows with firewood and put them in the warehouse. Those arrows were never transported into the barracks."

Chu Tang asked, "How were those arrows stolen? Have you been interrogated?"

General Chen waved his hand, "Those officials don't know, they are only responsible for stealing things, and there are others who steal things."

Chu Tang was silent for a moment, "By the way, General Chen, I want to tell you some bad news. The mastermind of all this is the second prince. He sold all the stolen arrows. The seller is mysterious and cannot be detected."

General Chen really wanted to tear up this kind of food, "It's too much!"

Chu Tang also hated this kind of person who harmed the country and the people, "General Chen, calm down, what needs to be done now is to collect evidence, and bring this second prince to justice on the spot."

General Chen came back rationally, "What you said is right, the thieves in the barracks still need you to investigate."

Chu Tang said, "I will try my best."

General Chen said concerned, "Go to the tent and rest for a while, I ordered someone to bring you some food, and investigate the thieves slowly."

"Okay." Chu Tang returned to the tent, and there were a lot of delicate delicacies on the table, which seemed to be carefully prepared.

The corners of Chu Tang's mouth suddenly curled up. He sat behind the table and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

Every dish is highly poisonous, and I don't know who carefully prepared it for him, but it tastes good and delicious.

Chu Tang said, "Chen Yi, the tent is a bit stuffy, please open the curtain for me."

"Yes, Brother Chu." Chen Yi and Chen Er raised the curtain together and turned aside.

Chu Tang moved the table to the door of the tent, and ate in front of everyone. After a while, he would see who came to see him for dinner. There was a high probability that this person would be the breakthrough point.

"The cook in the barracks is good. The food he cooks is so delicious. Let General Chen reward him later."

Chen Er swallowed his saliva, they ate ordinary food, like the chicken, duck and fish meat on the Chu Tang table, it had never happened before.

Seeing his greedy look, Chu Tang would have let the two of them eat it together if it wasn't for the poisonous food, "Go get me some water."

Chen Er pointed to the clear chicken soup, "Don't you like chicken soup?"

Chu Tang said, "I want to drink water now, and chicken soup later."

"I'll get it for you." Chen Er swallowed hard, as if taking a bite.

After a while, Chen Er came back with a teacup in his hand, "Put it on the table?"

Chu Tang pointed to the empty space on the edge of the table, "Put it there."

After Chen Er put down the teacup, he hurried outside and didn't look at it anymore, otherwise he couldn't guarantee that he would drool, it would be too embarrassing.

Seeing his younger brother like this, Chen Yi said, "After a while, I will receive the military salary, and I will take you to eat something good."

Chen Er couldn't help imagining such a beautiful scene, and drooled again, "I want to eat roasted whole lamb and drink Huadiao wine, brother, will you be satisfied?"

Chen Yi was in a dilemma, Qiqi Ai said, "It's okay to eat roasted whole lamb, but not Huadiao wine."

Chen Er's expectations were in vain, and he said, "Why?"

Chen Yi pursed his lips twice, "Because I don't have that much money."

Chen Er was a little disappointed, "Oh..."

Listening to the heartrending conversation between the two brothers, Chu Tang thought to himself, is the military salary very low? It's not enough to eat roasted whole lamb and Huadiao wine, "How much do you pay for the army a month?"

Chen Er sighed and said, "Two taels of silver."

There are still three taels to five taels of silver for her to work for a month. How come there are so few soldiers, "How come there are so few?"

Chen Er kicked the stone beside his feet, "Originally there were three liang, but it was difficult for the imperial court to allocate the military salary, so we were reduced."

"In the whole barracks, one tael per person will be paid less, which means three hundred thousand taels of silver..." Something was wrong, Chu Tang frowned.

Chen Er said expectantly, "General Chen said that after the imperial court strips off all the military salaries, it will repay us what is owed to us."

Chu Tang secretly thought that he had never heard Jing Hong mention the lack of military pay, and there must be something wrong with it, "When did you pay less for the military?"

Chen Er said helplessly, "It's been a year."

Chen Yi winked at Chen Er, don't say anything, it would be bad if something bad happens, but Chen Er trusted Chu Tang and turned a blind eye to Chen Yi's eyes.

Chu Tang didn't say anything more, and calmed down to eat.

At this time, a young man from the kitchen came over and asked with a smile, "Sir, is it delicious? Are these enough? If not, I will make it for you again?"

Chu Tang pointed to the dishes on the table with his chopsticks, "You made this?"

The young man dutifully said, "General Chen asked me to treat you well. I made this table. I was afraid that you might not be used to it, so I came here to ask."

Chu Tang said, "You've done a good job, and we will follow this standard in the future."

Xiaobing is an honest person, he scratched his head, wondering, "I'm afraid it won't work, the military rations haven't arrived, and expenses are being deducted everywhere, it's already very difficult to do this meal."

Is this difficult? Chu Tang always thought that the military camp was a very rich place, why was it so embarrassing?

"Then give me what the soldiers eat next time."

Xiao Bing laughed innocently, "Well, I see."

Chu Tang glanced at the two soldiers passing by behind the soldier, and said deliberately, "I will try my best to finish these, and try not to waste them."

The two soldiers looked at the table of delicacies, their eyes almost popped out, with a slanderous look on their faces.

Chu Tang, "..."

If it weren't for the fact that these dishes were highly poisonous, he would have called everyone to eat together, and he couldn't bear to see them.
