Several people were waiting in the jail to interrogate a prisoner when suddenly there was a noise outside.
"Don't stop me, I'm going to find an adult to make the decision for me!"
"I don't care, who is he? I want to see Master Zheng!"
Qin Songyin began to frown slightly, wondering who was trying to make things difficult for him at this time.
When he heard someone shouting that they were looking for Lord Zheng, he became a little wary. Could it be that he had colluded with Zheng Youwei to cause trouble for him?
Zheng Youwei felt that he had just lost face, and finally found an opportunity, so he immediately said: "What's going on outside? Sir Qin, don't worry about me. Call the people in first to ask about the situation."
Qin Songyin was basically certain at this time that it was Zheng Youwei's people who were causing trouble. He looked up and exchanged a glance with Mu Zheng.
Seeing Mu Zheng's calm expression, Qin Songyin nodded and said, "Come here, bring in the noisy people outside."
Soon, several officers from Shuntian Prefecture were brought in.
Qin Songyin was frightened by the whip marks on the face of the first person.
Zheng Youwei even jumped up and said, "Dou Jun, what happened? What happened to your face? Who did this?"
Although someone had just secretly passed him a message saying that one of their people was injured and he could take the opportunity to make some trouble.
But he didn't know that it was Dou Jun who was injured, and he didn't know that the injury was on his face.
The skin is torn and the flesh is exposed, won’t the face be disfigured?
You have to know that Dou Jun is not an outsider, he is his nephew.
It's just that he didn't publicize this matter widely, and few people around him knew about it.
The reason why he sent Dou Jun here this time was actually because he heard that Qin Songyin had obtained information about the gang of bandits, so he asked his nephew to come here to get some credit.
But now, although he has gained the credit, his face is disfigured. How can he explain to his wife and father-in-law when he returns?
Mu Zheng didn't say anything either, he just stood aside and watched their performance quietly.
We went there to suppress bandits, and we even captured several of the bandit leaders. It was normal for us to have some injuries on our bodies.
When a normal person sees Dou Jun, the first thing they would think is that he was injured in the process of suppressing bandits.
But Zheng Youwei's reaction was like this, which showed that they must have found a way to communicate with each other before.
But even if they communicated with each other, Mu Zheng was not afraid of them.
Zheng Youwei looked at Qin Songyin with a dark face and said, "Sir Qin, you brought my people here, and now they are injured like this, you should give me an explanation!"
Before Qin Songyin could speak, Mu Zheng said, "Master Zheng, we came to Fengle County to suppress bandits. Isn't it normal to get injured?
"After all, swords are blind, and many have lost limbs or even their lives. Do all commanders have to be held accountable? Who would dare to lead troops out on missions in the future?"
"You..." Zheng Youwei was speechless after being questioned by Mu Zheng. After a while, he reacted and asked again, "You mean, Dou Jun's face was injured by the bandits?"
"That's not what I said." Mu Zheng said calmly, "I was the one who gave him the wound on his face."
"You..." Zheng Youwei was choked again. He simply stopped talking to Mu Zheng and turned to question Qin Songyin, "Sir Qin, your men injured my people, and you still have this attitude. I want to ask you a question today. Do you want to do it or not?"
"Master Zheng, won't you ask me why I hit him?" Mu Zheng took over the conversation calmly.
"You, why can't you hit people?" Zheng Youwei was so angry that he trembled all over.
Qin Songyin was afraid that if the conversation continued like this, Zheng Youwei might get angry and have some problems, which would be difficult for him to explain when he returned. So he stepped out to smooth things over and said, "Mu Zheng, please tell Lord Zheng what's going on."
Zheng Youwei said, "I don't want to hear what he says. Dou Jun, you speak."
Dou Jun then recounted what had happened outside the city gate, covering his face as he said, "That was all. Then he suddenly whipped me."
"Lord Qin, did you hear that? Tell me, how should we deal with this matter now?" Zheng Youwei asked.
Mu Zheng said, "Master Zheng, you can't just believe one side of the story in this kind of situation, right? Shouldn't you also ask me why I hit him?"
"Didn't Dou Jun make it very clear?" Zheng Youwei asked, suppressing his anger.
"He only talked about the final result, but didn't tell us the reasons behind it!"
Mu Zheng continued speaking without waiting for Zheng Youwei's permission.
"First, when we left the county seat today to go on patrol, Dou Jun was full of complaints. He questioned the direction I chose the entire way and kept saying that the bandits couldn't possibly go to Rongxi Village. This caused the people in Shuntian Prefecture to lose their morale and not be on guard at all.
"Secondly, when they discovered that the bandits were about to attack Elder Cen and the innocent people, everyone rushed forward with all their might, including the officers from Shuntian Prefecture. Only Dou Jun not only did not rush forward, but he even pulled back the reins, leaving himself behind.
“Thirdly, when fighting the bandits, he was extremely afraid of the enemy and only cared about running away, almost getting his colleagues into trouble. Fortunately, Elder Cen’s men came to the rescue, and I was able to bring everyone back without any casualties.
"Fourthly, when cleaning up the mess, he stayed away, saying he couldn't bear to look at the corpses.
"The fifth..."
"Okay, no more talking." Zheng Youwei started to breathe heavily out of his nostrils.
Dou Jun didn't expect that all his actions since the start were actually seen by Mu Zheng.
That moment outside the city gate, he was settling the score with himself.
Zheng Youwei was now in a dilemma.
As Dou Jun's nephew, how could he not know what kind of person he is?
