Yinreng has lived for three lifetimes. In this life, he just wants to get along well with his brothers, be a carefree prince, live a life without worries about food and clothing, and explore the be...
Cheng Feng glanced at him expressionlessly and said coldly,
"I'm asking questions, please stay aside and don't interrupt!"
When the garrison commander heard this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his eyes, but the smile on his face remained.
Around the capital, you could easily throw a brick and hit someone with a strong background. The garrison commander was only a fifth-rank official, and he was sent to guard the desolate West Mountain. Naturally, he had some connections, but he was not powerful enough to offend the prince's followers.
Besides, if any one of Chengfeng's clothes, accessories, and even his horse equipment were sold, it would be enough to cover his salary for several years. He was busy trying to please him and didn't have the courage to offend Chengfeng.
Chengfeng picked out two more people for questioning, with no intention of doing it behind their backs. The garrison commander breathed a sigh of relief.
The higher-ups have been busy with construction recently, and this quarry only started accepting large numbers of criminals last year. Fortunately, he had the foresight to teach them how to respond in advance.
After Chengfeng asked the questions, he felt that it was about time, so he followed the original plan, explained the situation to the garrison, and rode away.
Shoubei still wanted to establish a relationship with Chengfeng, but seeing that Chengfeng was determined to leave, he had to give up with regret.
After the five of them left the quarry, Cheng Feng asked,
"Your Highness, the people inside aren't telling the truth. This is probably the result of threats and intimidation from the garrison. Should we launch a counterattack?"
"certainly!"
Yinreng answered without hesitation.
Given his intolerant nature, he would not just sit there and do nothing if he knew there was a problem with the defense.
He then spent three days at the Xishan quarry, arresting several local officials in Changping who were involved in embezzling imperial funds and escorting them back to the capital.
As for the criminals who were oppressed by the guards in the quarry, Yinreng considered it for a long time and finally decided to reduce their sentences by half.
Those who had already died were given a pension of twenty taels of silver each, but that money was taken from the property of several corrupt officials, and Yinreng spent it without any regret.
After resolving this matter, Yinreng returned to Beijing. In addition to attending the Dragon Boat Festival family dinner, he also planned to keep an eye on Wen Xian.
Wen Xian's due date is about a month away. Although Yinreng asked the Crown Princess to pay attention to the news from the Princess's Mansion, he was still a little worried in his heart.
After returning to Beijing, Yinreng felt relieved to hear that Wen Xian was doing well, and immediately asked Chengfeng to check Shun Anyan's recent movements.
The result made him furious.
Shun Anyan, this bastard, actually dared to keep a mistress during the most difficult period of Wen Xian's pregnancy.
The house where he kept his mistress was still in Fushouyuan.
This bastard!
Yinreng didn't want to indulge him. He calculated the time when Shun Anyan would go to the concubine's place and caught him red-handed.
When Shun Anyan was dragged out of the room, the disgusting look on his face hadn't faded yet, but Yinreng went up and slapped him in the face.
“Bang!”
Promiscuity in broad daylight!
This bastard doesn’t even find it disgusting!
Feeling the pain on his face, Shun Anyan finally regained consciousness. Looking at Yinreng's cold face, Shun Anyan was furious.
"Why did Your Highness hit me?"
"Bang!"
In response, Yinreng punched him in the stomach. Yinreng used all his strength in this punch. Shun Anyan felt that his internal organs shifted instantly and the contents of his stomach sprayed out instantly.
Fortunately, after he was beaten, he arched his body, otherwise the blood would have been vomited on Yinreng.
Shun Anyan's eyes were bloodshot from the pain. After he recovered a little, he raised his eyes and glared at Yinreng with an unyielding look on his face.
"You asked me why I hit you, but I also want to ask you why you are here! Shun Anyan, you are so bold!"
Shun Anyan showed no fear when he heard this. With his status, even if he married the princess, it did not mean that he would have to revolve around the princess all his life. Even if this matter was brought to the attention of the emperor, the emperor would probably not punish him.
It just has a bad reputation...
But what’s even worse is the reputation of the Fifth Princess!
Shun Anyan was fearless.
But he was a little surprised that the one who stood up for the Fifth Princess was not the Fourth Prince or the Fourteenth Master, but the high and mighty Crown Prince.
But it was just an accident.
Shun Anyan looked down on Yinreng in his heart. He thought that Yinreng was a disabled person who could not have children, and was no different from a eunuch.
He will have to take the punch and slap today!
When Yinreng loses his position as crown prince in the future, let’s see how he will take revenge!
Shun Anyan felt furious.
Yinreng stepped forward and grabbed Shun Anyan's whip, forcing him to look at him.
"You're keeping a mistress here without telling your ninth sister. Do you think that even if she finds out, there's nothing she can do to you?"
Shun Anyan didn't say anything, but his teeth were grinding.
Seeing his face full of resentment, Yinreng smiled and patted his swollen cheek.
"She really can't do anything to you, but don't forget, she is a princess, her father is the emperor, and she has more than ten brothers!"
Shun Anyan's face changed when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down again.
Yinreng knew at a glance that Shun Anyan still didn't think there was anything wrong with having a concubine.
Yinreng was not interested in making him admit his mistake.
What he is interested in is teaching Shun Anyan how to be a good person!
It was now mid-May and the weather was starting to get hot. Shun Anyan did not feel cold outside in his disheveled clothes, but when he saw the malice on Yinreng's face, he shuddered violently.
"Let's go and tell our prince consort about his concubine!"
Yinreng took his hand away in disgust, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped it, then walked out with his hands behind his back.
Shun Anyan was a little surprised when he heard this, and then he began to struggle vigorously.
But the guards following Yinreng were all good fighters selected by Kangxi. Even if he had good martial arts skills, he could not break free from them.
"You dare to treat me like this? Aren't you afraid of the Emperor's punishment?"
Shun Anyan watched the entrance of the courtyard getting closer and closer, and finally became anxious.
He was not afraid of the fact that he had a concubine being made public, but he could not accept himself going out in front of others in this state. The thought of being pointed at by those lowly people made Shun Anyan more panicked and angry.
Yinreng paused after hearing his words, then turned around and looked at Shun Anyan.
"Why would the Emperor punish me? You think your ninth sister isn't important enough, and that keeping a concubine isn't enough for the Emperor to punish you, but what about me? Given my weight, even if you were castrated, do you think the Emperor would dethrone me from my position as Crown Prince?"
The smile on his face was too ostentatious, and his eyes glanced at Shun Anyan's lower body for a few breaths, successfully frightening Shun Anyan to shrink back, but he still kept his mouth shut.
"I don't believe you would dare to offend the Tong family like this for a woman!"
