Chapter 487 Erase
Song Ruize sat at the top, tapping the table lightly as he looked at Jiang Yunzhou standing across from him.
He had already met Jiang Qingnan and Zhou Jinyuan, and had also heard from his subordinates about Jiang Yunzhou's plans against Qin Huiyin.
He actually wanted Yinyin to be his concubine.
The Prince of the Earl of Anping...
Jiang Yunzhou hadn't expected the new commander-in-chief of the military division to be the same commander he had previously replaced. He had already offended him before they'd even met. However, as the heir of the Anping Earl's mansion, he came from an aristocratic family, and he couldn't compare to a commander-in-chief from a humble background. Even if he didn't dare to do anything to him, he wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
"Commander-in-chief, I wonder what important matter you want to discuss with me?" Jiang Yunzhou said.
"A lot has happened in East City recently, from the humiliation of Princess Yuanying to small fights among civilians. Commander Jiang, do you have anything to explain?"
"East City is so big and densely populated, it's inevitable that there will be a few rogues causing trouble every day. There's no need to explain this, right?"
"Really? When I was here, there weren't so many rogues in East City, let alone those who dared to attack the royal family. Commander Jiang, you failed to manage this matter properly and should be punished. From today on, you will start as a soldier in the military department. Jiang Qingnan will be the commander of the East City military department, and Zhang Erzhu will be the deputy commander."
As for Chen Yong, Jiang Qibin, Zhou Jinyuan and others, they will be placed in the military headquarters of South City, West City and North City after a while.
Jiang Yunzhou's face turned grim: "I come from a noble family, and you want me to be a soldier?"
"Your Highness is a noble man. If you feel that the Military Affairs Department has failed you, you can seek another job."
"Mr. Song, you are just holding a grudge against me for taking your position, and you are taking this opportunity to vent your anger. I am no longer interested in the position of commander of the East City Military Department." After saying that, Jiang Yunzhou turned around and was about to leave.
"Catch him." Song Ruize shouted.
Several soldiers stopped Jiang Yunzhou.
Jiang Yunzhou turned around and threatened, "What dare you do to this prince?"
"Even if you want to quit, you'll still be punished for your previous mistakes. Take him away and give him fifty lashes to serve as a warning to others."
"you dare!"
"Why shouldn't I dare?" Song Ruize waved his hand with a dangerous look in his eyes.
Several soldiers restrained Jiang Yunzhou and dragged him away. Not long after, the sound of beatings could be heard from the yard.
Jiang Yunzhou's screams became louder and louder, and after the tenth scream, the sound disappeared.
Zhou Jinyuan walked in and said, "What a good-for-nothing! He can't even take ten hits."
"Commander-in-chief, he is the heir of the Anping Marquis's mansion after all. If we really give him fifty lashes, I'm afraid his body won't be able to withstand it. If anything happens to him, the Anping Marquis will definitely not let it go. Fifty lashes is too much, do you want it..."
"Since you said fifty lashes, then you must give him fifty lashes. Tell your men to be careful not to beat him to death or to cripple him, but don't miss a single lash during the fifty lashes." Song Ruize said calmly, "If he's bedridden, I want to see how he can continue to harass Yin Yin."
The sound of beatings outside suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?" Zhou Jinyuan said, "I'll go take a look."
After a while, Zhou Jinyuan came back and said, "That old bastard, Anping Bo, suddenly showed up and took that bastard away with him."
"No matter what, we've finally gotten rid of this troublemaker," Jiang Qingnan said. "These young masters from aristocratic families are the most difficult to serve. They're a problem in themselves, and letting them manage the Bingmas Division will only lead their subordinates to harm the people. Commander-in-Chief, shouldn't we set new rules? Now that you're the supreme commander, you have the final say on the rules of the Bingmas Division."
"No rush, there's another matter we need to take care of now." Song Ruize said, "The one from the Tang family is still being held in the Dali Temple!"
"Commander-in-Chief, don't you always dislike him?"
"He's Yinyin's big brother. If anything happens to him, not only will Yinyin be sad, but she'll also lose a supporter. We have to protect him."
"Is this the legendary love for the house and its people?" Jiang Qibin said with a sigh, "How do you say we should do it?"
"Prince Zhong insists that Lord Tang marry Princess Yuanying. This is an unsolvable problem, unless Lord Tang makes a concession and takes that woman home to keep as a gift."
"Since it is an unsolvable problem, then just erase it and make this difficult problem no longer exist. Naturally, no one will need to solve it." Song Ruize said calmly.
"The commander-in-chief means..."
The next morning, Qin Huiyin was still asleep when she vaguely heard Zhilan and Sujin talking excitedly.
"Zhilan..." She sat up and shouted outside.
Zhilan and Sujin pushed the door open and walked in.
"Miss, great news! Princess Yuanying has committed suicide by jumping into a well."
"Jumped into a well and committed suicide?" Qin Huiyin was surprised. "When?"
"I heard it happened at midnight yesterday," Zhilan said, "and now everyone has heard about it."
Qin Huiyin thought of what Song Ruize said that they only needed to wait one more day and the matter would be resolved, and guessed that he must have done it.
"Miss, why are you unhappy?" Zhilan asked.
"It's not that I'm unhappy, but even if Princess Yuanying died, big brother might not be able to come out." Qin Huiyin said, "Prince Zhong must hate big brother even more now. Add to that the old grudge, and he'll be even more hateful and won't let big brother go easily."
"Princess Yuanying is already dead. They can't still be pestering the eldest son, right? The eldest son is the top scholar, and many people are eyeing him! If the emperor treats commoner students like this, how many commoner students will be willing to take the imperial examinations and become officials in the future? The royal family has always been suppressing aristocratic families. It's impossible for all officials in the court to come from aristocratic families."
"You really know a lot, girl." Qin Huiyin said, "I believe my brother must have a trick up his sleeve. Let's wait a little longer, maybe we'll get some news soon."
At this time, in the Dali Temple Prison, Song Ruize looked at Tang Yichen lying there dying and gently knocked on the iron pillar.
"Dead?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Tang Yichen raised his eyelids and said, "Even if you die, I won't die either."
"As long as he's not dead," Song Ruize said, looking at the jailer, "Open the door and carry him out."
The jailer had already received the release document and immediately opened the door swiftly and carefully carried the person out.
"I won't thank you." Tang Yichen said indifferently.
"Who cares about your thanks? You and I are both doing this for Yinyin. If it weren't for Yinyin, I wouldn't care even if you died in there."
"Each each other."
Chen Yu and Zhang Zhen were waiting not far away. When they saw the jailer carrying Tang Yichen out, they hurried over to catch him.
Jiang Qibin asked, "Why do you still dislike each other after all these years?"
The two of them have no grudges against each other, and there is no conflict of interest in their daily lives.
"I don't know. I just don't like him no matter how I look at him. Maybe he's too ugly." Song Ruize said indifferently.
Jiang Qibin: "..."
