Apart from anything else, he had even instructed them in advance to hide behind and be careful not to get hurt if they really encountered bandits.

Who knew that this silly kid didn't even know how to cover up, and everyone saw it all.

"Well, you can't just hit people!" Zheng Youwei's aura instantly lost its former arrogance. "Master Qin, what do you think about this matter..."

Qin Songyin finally stepped forward and said, "Come here, quickly take Dou Jun down to treat his wound, and find the scar-removing ointment that the emperor gave me earlier and send it over."

After hearing Qin Songyin say this, Zheng Youwei lost even more confidence.

"Look, this is so embarrassing."

"The child's injury is serious!"

These words made Zheng Youwei's heart beat fast. Could it be that Qin Songyin already knew that Dou Jun was his nephew?

It shouldn't be!

Even in the yamen, only a few of his close confidants knew about it. How did Qin Songyin find out?

Before he could figure this out, he heard Qin Songyin continue, "As for Mu Zheng..."

Zheng Youwei suddenly raised his head and looked at Mu Zheng.

Wait, who was Qin Songyin talking about just now?

Mu Zheng?

He asked with a slightly trembling voice, "Master Qin, the Mu Zheng you just mentioned, could it be the Mu Zheng from the Mu family?"

"If you're wondering if he's the grandson of General Mu Ziqiu and the son of General Mu Jingyun, then he is."

Zheng Youwei felt like his heart was about to explode.

The orphan of the Mu family!

Why mess with someone like this when you can mess with anyone else?

Not to mention Qin Songyin, even if this matter was reported to the emperor, the emperor would not say a single harsh word to Mu Zheng.

When did Mu Zheng become Qin Songyin's subordinate?

Zheng Youwei's mind was a mess.

"Well, Master Qin, Dou Jun was indeed at fault for what happened today. I will definitely punish him severely when I return.

"Just now, I was just shocked by the sight of his face being torn to pieces. I was a little agitated. I hope Lord Qin will forgive me."

Qin Songyin smiled and said, "I can understand why Lord Zheng wants to protect his own people. It's just a misunderstanding, so don't worry about it.

"No matter what, those who participated in the bandit suppression this time should be rewarded according to their merits..."

When Zheng Youwei heard this, he was delighted. As long as he could get the credit, it would be worth all the suffering he had endured.

"If you ask me, there's no need to punish him when you go back. Just let his merits and demerits cancel each other out.

"Young man, you'll definitely learn a lesson from your experience, don't you think?"

When Zheng Youwei heard this, his back teeth were almost broken.

If he can get the credit first, then he will have the final say on whether to punish or not, and how to punish after returning.

But now that Qin Songyin said this, it seems that he doesn't want Dou Jun to get any benefit at all!

But he also spoke as if he was very magnanimous and was considering Dou Jun and wanted to spare him from punishment.

Zheng Youwei thought for a long time, but could not find any reason to excuse or defend Dou Jun, so he had to change the subject and said, "Master Qin, let's not talk about him for now.

"He's been holding us back for so long, why don't we start interrogating the bandit leader now!"

"Okay, come here, bring the bandit leader over." Qin Songyin had the upper hand, so he was naturally happy about it.

Qin Songyin interrogated the bandit leader and several of his cronies that night, and compiled a rough transcript, which basically clarified the criminal facts of this group of people.

When I came out of the county jail, the sky was already turning pale.

Qin Songyin stretched his body and ordered, "Everyone, pack up your things as soon as possible and prepare the prison car. We will return to Beijing immediately after breakfast."

Everyone has been working outside for a long time to suppress bandits, and they are all eager to return home.

What's more, we have won a great victory this time, and we will have to reward them according to their merits when we return.

Even if they didn't catch the criminals themselves, they would definitely be able to drink some of the broth while others were eating the meat.

So no one thought it was too early and everyone started to prepare actively.

Zheng Youwei followed Qin Songyin to interrogate prisoners all night yesterday. After coming out in the morning, he just went to check on Dou Jun's injuries and was about to go back to his room to rest when he heard someone come to report.

“Master Zheng, Master Qin asked everyone to pack up quickly and leave for the capital after breakfast.

"Is he sick?" Zheng Youwei was so angry that he threw the porcelain pillow on the bed, "He doesn't need to sleep himself and won't let others sleep?

"You're in such a hurry to go back and do this? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"

The servant was afraid of implicating himself, but he had to speak cautiously, so he could only say: "Master Qin said that the banditry in the capital has been a concern for the emperor for the past few months. Now that there is a result, we must rush back to report the good news to the emperor and relieve his worries..."

Zheng Youwei was speechless. Now that things had come to this, what else could he say?

Are you saying that you don't want to report the good news to the emperor, or that you don't want to relieve the emperor's worries?

"No wonder he has risen so rapidly in recent years and become the emperor's most favored minister!

"As for the flattery skills, I can't catch up with you even if I flatter a horse!"

Zheng Youwei complained a lot, but he still had to call all his men, pack up their things and go back to Beijing with Qin Songyin.

After returning to the capital, Qin Songyin directly ordered his men to hand the prisoner over to Zheng Youwei and said, "Thank you, Lord Zheng, for taking the prisoner into custody so that we can retrial him later.

"These bandits are ruthless killers, Lord Zheng must not let your guard down.

"If they have accomplices who want to take advantage of the opportunity to hijack the prison van, or if one of them accidentally escapes, it would be a huge hidden danger!"
