After the military meeting ended, only Ji Shu and Yueying were left, and both of them were somewhat silent when they returned to the city.
For Yueying, this is her hometown, the place where she grew up, and she will soon be able to see her parents. For Ji Shu, this is a foreign land, but the two years he stayed in Jiangxia are probably the most relaxing memories he has had since he came to this troubled world. He will soon be able to see his father-in-law.
The two of them sat next to each other, feeling flustered for no reason. They had never been so scared when they got married.
"I, let's go meet my father-in-law."
Regarding this unavoidable matter, Ji Shu spoke first. He was so nervous that he stuttered a little.
"yes!"
Yueying trembled in shock as her ears seemed to hear what she was thinking in her heart.
The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile at each other's stupidity, feeling quite relaxed.
Ji Shu held Yueying's little hand, and the two seemed to gain a lot of courage from this warmth.
"Let's go."
"Um!"
The two stood up with a smile and were about to go out together. Unexpectedly, they encountered a soldier who rushed in from the door.
"Report! Military advisor, this is an urgent report from Dangtu."
Ji Shu quickly let go of Yueying's hand and took the military report with some confusion. After the soldier finished presenting his military report, he seemed to have clearly seen the atmosphere in the room, clasped his fists and bowed before retreating.
Could it be that Cai Mao has already noticed it? So fast?
Ji Shu opened the military report with some confusion and anxiety and read it carefully.
"what's the situation?"
Yueying stared at Ji Shu curiously, and saw his face changing from green to white.
He looked like gunpowder about to explode.
In fact, this is exactly the case. Ji Shu fiercely threw the military newspaper out and smashed it to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
Ji Shu pointed at the military report on the ground, his fingers kept trembling, and his nose was breathing heavily. He looked at Yueying for a while, then at the military report. He shook his head back and forth several times, and his expression became more and more terrifying. He was so angry that he couldn't speak.
This was the first time Yueying had seen Ji Shu like this. She felt that even if Cai Mao had returned to his army and had even captured Dangtu, Ji Shu would not be like this.
In doubt, she hurried over and picked up the military newspaper and read it carefully. Then she immediately understood the reason for Ji Shu's behavior.
"Han Zong actually sent troops to plunder villages, and some of his soldiers even raped women!"
"It's lawless!"
"What does he think the Habayashi Army is?"
"Is he my student or Dong Zhuo's student?"
Ji Shu finally broke out, and he cursed loudly, his roar almost breaking the roof.
Han Zong is the surviving son of General Han Dang and Ji Shu's new student.
When Sun Ce had just handed over the Yulin Army to Ji Shu, 12-year-old Han Zong asked Ji Shu to join the army to kill the enemy. Ji Shu appointed him as the commander of the village, hoping that this little guy would give him a surprise. .
But Ji Shu didn't expect such a "surprise".
Yueying frowned and put the finished military newspaper on the table.
"Hey, you go to Dangtu to deal with this matter in person first. I can just go to my parents' side."
Ji Shu let out a deep breath and walked out, but after a few steps he stopped and turned to Yueying.
"It's better to wait until I come back and then go with you."
Yueying looked away, pushed Ji Shu and headed out the door.
"No need, the matter over there is important. This matter is very important to the Yulin Army, to Han Zong, and to the people of Dangtu. Don't worry, you must handle it properly. I will go see my parents later. Hurry over, after all, I am still that child’s mistress.”
Yueying's soft voice made Ji Shu's fevered head calm down a little. He nodded and ordered the soldiers to inform Taishi Ci, who would be in charge of Jiangxia affairs during his absence.
"Don't forget, General Han only has one son left."
Ji Shu was walking out when Yueying's words made him pause again. Sighing, he didn't know how to answer, so he had to move forward.
······
When Tu.
After the army left, Jiang Qin, Xu Tu, and Hou Cheng followed Ji Shu's instructions and sent their soldiers out to control the surrounding villages. They set up checkpoints on all roads to intercept people coming and going, and no one was allowed in or out.
Then something unexpected happened. Hou Cheng received a report that one of his villages had plundered a village, and a village woman was raped by two soldiers.
In troubled times, this is actually a common occurrence, even under the command of those famous princes, it is inevitable that it will happen, just to see the people above taking care of it.
Hou Cheng, who was born as a commoner, was very angry. Of course he wanted to take care of it, and he felt that his new lord would not tolerate such a thing, so Hou Chenggong ordered the soldiers to be captured and imprisoned. But Jiang Qin soon discovered that the commander of these soldiers was actually Han Zong, and that the soldiers looting the village had Han Zong's permission!
Things got tricky instantly! Hou Cheng quickly called Jiang Qin and Xu Tu to discuss it. Although the two were very angry, they did not dare to deal with it casually, so they had to write a military report and submit it urgently to the quarter.
When Ji Shu came to Dangtu again with a dark face, Jiang Qin, Hou Cheng, and Xu Tu had been waiting for a long time, and Xu Tu opened his mouth.
"Sir, you are here. I have asked people to return all the things I snatched from the villagers. I also gave a heavy pension of 100 taels of gold to the raped village woman. It's just Han Zong and the soldiers who committed the crime. It’s up to you to decide how to deal with it.”
Ji Shu rarely put on his official airs and glared at everyone, which made the three of them lower their heads in shame.
"Take me to him!"
The three of them were heartbroken and quickly led the way.
After walking around for a long time, Ji Shu finally saw Han Zong in the prison. Han Zong said excitedly.
"Teacher, are you here to let me out?"
Across the fence, Ji Shu did not ask anyone to unlock the cell. He was afraid that he could not help but go in and beat the boy to death.
"Traitor, don't you still know your mistake?"
Clenching his teeth, his cheeks began to hurt. Ji Shu's voice shook the entire prison, and all the soldiers detained nearby paid attention.
Han Zong was startled. This was a little different from what he thought. He said timidly.
"If you want the horses to run, naturally you have to let them eat grass. I let the soldiers know the benefits of fighting. They will definitely fight bravely in the future and make contributions to the Lord. Learn... ·The students don’t know where they went wrong?”
"Asshole!"
"Your great achievements are to rob the people and do whatever you want, right?!"
Ji Shu couldn't help but kicked the cell door hard. The cell door made a muffled sound and the chains hanging on it jingled and shook. Han Zong was frightened and took a few steps back.
"I asked you to read "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Three Strategies" and "Six Secret Strategies". What did you read?"
"Are you reading "Trouble in the World" written by Dong Zhuo?"
Han Zong huddled in the corner and did not dare to answer.
Ji Shu turned around and asked Jiang Qin and others.
"What's the name of that village?"
Does Ji Shu still want to come to apologize? The three of them looked at each other, and Hou Cheng said bravely.
"It's called Lijiacun."
Ji Shu stared at Hou Cheng. He knew what the three of them were thinking. Why did he lower his face and go to see the villagers again? But he thought a lot along the way. He must let the soldiers understand what is right and what is wrong!
"How many soldiers are there who are not on duty?"
"Two thousand people."
"Call them all! Also, bring Han Zong and all the criminal taxis to me. Let's go to Lijiacun."
