"Shut up! My eldest sister-in-law is a mother. If anything happens to the pregnant woman just now, I will personally send you to the Yamen and let you be slapped on the wall and put in jail. It will be a good memory!"
"Hahaha, take me to the Yamen?"
Zhou Huaian pointed at himself, as if he had heard some big joke.
"Okay, if you dare, go and call the officers and soldiers over now. I would like to see which one of them is so bold as to send the brother of a mighty general to prison and be punished!"
Zhou Huaian's arrogant look and tone made everyone's teeth itch.
But they were ordinary people and did not dare to provoke Zhou Huaian easily. They could only bite their teeth into pieces and swallow them in their stomachs.
Jiang Jingyu walked towards Zhou Huaian with a stern face and did not stop until he was in front of him.
Zhou Huaian held his stomach and stepped back unconsciously: "W-what do you want to do?"
Jiang Jingyu looked at him condescendingly and said in a deep voice: "Now that the general has not been named, you are so arrogant and arrogant under the authority of the mighty brother of the general. After the general is named, won't you be going to rebel against him!"
"Zhou Huaian, remember, a prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Not to mention that you are the general's brother. Even if you are a royal relative, as long as you do something wrong, you will still be punished according to the law!"
"Give in, everyone, give in!"
As Jiang Jingyu said the last word, a group of officers and soldiers rushed over from behind the crowd.
Someone had called the police when Zhou Huaian stopped the pregnant woman in the street. When the officers and soldiers came over, they heard Zhou Huaian reveal his identity as the younger brother of the mighty general.
Just when the officers and soldiers were hesitating whether to step forward, Jiang Jingyu's words came out from the crowd.
The sentence that the prince committed the same crime as the common people completely dispelled the doubts of the officers and soldiers.
Hearing the voices of the officers and soldiers, the people hurriedly stepped aside to make way for them.
The leading officers and soldiers stood in front of Zhou Huaian: "Someone is suing you for robbing women on the street. Come with us."
After the officers and soldiers finished speaking, they made a gesture, and soon two officers and soldiers walked up to Zhou Huaian and lifted him up.
Zhou Huaian was shocked and struggled hard: "Let me go, let me go! I am the younger brother of the mighty general. If you dare to catch me, you will risk your life!"
The officers and soldiers ignored Zhou Huaian's shouts and dragged him to the Yamen.
At this time, the two men who had sent the pregnant woman to the hospital ran back panting and stopped in front of Jiang Jingyu.
"The person has been sent to the hospital. The doctor said he just had fetal gas and will be fine just to rest and recuperate. It's nothing serious!"
Jiang Jingyu nodded slightly: "Thank you very much. I'll go to any shop in the Jiang family later and collect five taels of silver. I'll treat it as my thank you to the two eldest brothers for taking this trip."
After Jiang Jingyu said that, he left from one side, leaving everyone stunned.
"Five, five taels of silver?!"
"The young master of Jiang Mansion is too generous!"
"Hey, it's worth the trip!"
After everyone came to their senses, Jiang Jingyu had long disappeared.
"Sure enough, the common people understand the common people best! What the young master said just now is really what I want!"
"Who says it's not the case? The second young master of the general's residence usually uses his identity as the general's younger brother to run rampant and tyrannical. Now it's good. Someone finally stepped forward to treat him!"
"Hey, so what? The mighty general is about to be conferred, and I'm afraid he will be released within two days!"
"If he really becomes the younger brother of the mighty general, he will not be allowed to walk sideways in the future?"
Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction with Zhou Huaian's behavior.
At that time, Zuixian Tower.
A man stood in front of the second-floor window, taking in everything just now.
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Zhou Huaiqian, Zhou Huaiqian, let me catch you this time."
The man waved the folding fan in his hand and ordered the boy behind him: "Go and make this matter bigger and add fuel to the fire to our incoming mighty general."
…
The perfumer tried for a long time but couldn't create Jiang Jingyu's fragrance. He was frustrated when someone came from the palace.
It turned out that the Queen Mother was excited when she learned that Song Wenjing did not reject the approach of a woman because of her fragrance, and wanted to have the perfumer bring the prepared incense into the palace as soon as possible.
So someone was sent to urge him.
The perfumer did not make an incense with exactly the same taste, so he had to ask the palace people to take away several incense that he had made with a similar taste.
As expected, several types of incense were rejected by Song Wenjing as soon as they were lit.
Although these incense smells very good, they are different from the fragrance emanating from her body.
The hope that was ignited in the Queen Mother's heart dropped again, and she could only ask the perfumer to continue making incense.
Paper couldn't contain the fire. Zhou Huaiqian heard about Zhou Huaian's bad things just after he came back from the training ground.
Now this matter is making a big fuss. Lin Xiaoniang's husband, who had a fetus, beat a drum to complain and took Zhou Huaian to the Yamen.
If Jiang Jingyu hadn't appeared in time to stop Zhou Huaian and sent someone to send Lin Xiaoniang to the hospital, the consequences would have been disastrous.
By then it will not be impossible to kill two people.
Nowadays, everyone in the imperial city is preaching that Zhou Huaian has used his identity as a general brother to do evil, domineering and oppressing the people.
He also said that a person like Zhou Huaian, who has no respect for the king, is not worthy of being an official's son, etc. These remarks made Zhou Huaiqian's veins bulge on his forehead, and his eyebrows twitched!
"what on earth is it!"
Zhou Huaiqian shouted sternly, and the guard following him hurriedly said: "General, my subordinates are going to investigate right now!"
These remarks were so violent that not even Zhou Huaiqian could stop them.
When Zhou Huaiqian returned to his house, he became furious and scolded all the maids and servants who were guarding Zhou Huaian. Even Mrs. Zhang could not escape his scolding.
Mrs. Zhang sat aside and looked at the angry Zhou Huaiqian, and said cautiously: "Qian, Qian'er, don't be angry yet. An'er is young and ignorant. My mother will take good care of him in the future."
Zhou Huaiqian looked gloomy and said nothing.
Mrs. Zhang was a little displeased and murmured in a low voice: "It's true that those common people made a fuss over such a trivial matter and dared to go against the general's government. I think they have eaten the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard!"
Her words reached Zhou Huaiqian's ears word by word. Zhou Huaiqian pursed his lips into a thin slit and slammed his fist on the table.
"Little thing? He almost killed someone! I am now at the critical moment of being promoted to a knighthood. If I make any mistakes, the title will fall to someone else, do you know?!"
Zhang's body was shaken, and now she finally understood the seriousness of the matter.
"Qian'er, don't worry! After all, this mistake was made by An'er and has nothing to do with you! Your Majesty will not take this matter out on you, right?"
Zhou Huaiqian clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with an unfathomable light.
"hope so."
The next day, the east was slightly bright.
Today is the day when Song Wenjing held a reward ceremony for the soldiers who returned to the court. The courtiers and officials came to the Jinluan Hall early.
After a moment, Song Wenjing's figure came from the side hall and walked straight onto the dragon chair.
"Today is the day when I will award rewards to all the soldiers. Let me not say anything else, let's get started."
As soon as the sound fell, Eunuch Su took a few steps forward holding the imperial edict, and then the sound of a drake's voice sounded in the hall.
"By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that I have Wang Hu, who possesses both talents and virtues, as well as wisdom and bravery. He is truly the pillar of the country. In recognition of his outstanding contributions, he is specially named General Guangwu and is rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and a hundred acres of fertile land."
…
Eunuch Su read out a series of names, from low position to high position, and the last one was the decree and candidate for the title of a powerful general.
Zhou Huaiqian had clenched his hands into fists, lowered his head and waited quietly for Eunuch Su to read out his name.
"The person who was promoted to the rank of mighty general is——"
