Article 566: Bent-faced whipping people
The golden afterglow falls on the training ground.
What should have been a beautiful scene turned into a surge of blood in Cheng Wanwan's heart.
She quickly walked towards Zhao Sanniu and Cheng Bing. Cheng Jia and Cheng Ding rushed over and were about to untie the two when a voice came from behind.
After finishing his business with the general, Ye Lingbo went to drink with his cousin, Deputy Commandant Ye. Now that Commandant Shao had been imprisoned in public, his demotion was only a matter of time, and Deputy Commandant Ye would become Commandant Ye sooner or later. The two celebrated in advance and drank some wine.
As soon as he walked onto the training ground, Ye Lingbo saw someone dared to untie Shao Hua's lackey.
He personally gave the order to tie them up for three days and three nights. It's only the second day, who dares to disobey the military order?!
However, judging from the clothes of the group, they didn't seem to be soldiers, and there were several women, including an old woman...
"Who goes there, trespassing on military camp!"
Ye Lingbo narrowed his eyes and roared.
Cheng Wanwan signaled Cheng Jia and Cheng Ding to continue untying the clothes, while she turned around and cast a cold gaze on Ye Lingbo.
She was never one to hold grudges. Last time Ninglan was harassed in the street, nothing serious happened, so her solution was to keep Ninglan indoors, thus avoiding any further trouble.
However, sometimes trouble will find you even if you don't look for it.
Moreover, what happened today is more than just trouble. If Ye Lingbo is not dealt with, San Niu will not be able to stay in the military. This is San Niu's dream, and it cannot be ruined because of a scumbag.
It is indeed difficult for a sixth-rank official with a favorite concubine sister to deal with Ye Lingbo.
But no matter how difficult it is, she has to go.
"Oh, it's you." Ye Lingbo recognized Cheng Wanwan and sneered, "Seeing you reminds me of that maid from last time. Wasn't she sold to me? Where is she? Why didn't you bring her with you!"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the four palace maids that Cheng Wanwan had brought.
He had been drinking, so he couldn't hide his thoughts at all. He said lecherously, "These four will do. Since you're so sensible, I'll give you the reward!"
He took off the money pouch and jade pendant from his waist and threw them directly on the ground.
Cheng Wanwan raised her foot and stepped on the jade pendant. She parted her thin lips slightly and said, word by word, "Hold him down."
After Cheng Jia and Cheng Ding untied Zhao Sanniu and the other man, they stood behind Cheng Wanwan. Upon hearing her command, they immediately stepped forward and pressed down on Ye Lingbo's shoulders, one on each side.
"What are you doing?!" Ye Lingbo roared in fury. "Where did these lowly scoundrels come from? Trespassing into the military camp is one thing, but daring to lay a hand on a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of War! Who gave you the audacity? Let go of me! Let go! If you don't, don't blame me for being impolite... Ah!!"
Before he could finish his threat, he let out a scream.
He looked at Cheng Wanwan in disbelief and saw that she had somehow produced a whip in her hand. Just now, the whip had struck him, and although it hadn't to the point of tearing his skin, it had still caused him excruciating pain.
His anger immediately shot up to his head. "You fearless evil woman, how dare you attack me? I think you are throwing your life away! Come on, come on!"
He called out several times, but no one came.
Because before coming here, Cheng Wanwan asked Zhang Jinbao to bring a box of food to lead the people on the training ground away. In addition, Ye Lingbo was unpopular in the military camp, and no one wanted to watch the fun here and be hated, so they left as far away as possible.
Cheng Wanwan coldly lashed out with her whip several times, but the scumbag was wearing silk clothes, and she wasn't strong enough to cause much damage. She said coldly, "Take off his clothes."
Cheng Jia immediately tore his clothes to shreds.
"Slap! Slap!"
The whip made direct contact with his skin, and Ye Lingbo almost fainted from the pain.
At this moment, Deputy Commandant Ye suddenly appeared. When he saw his brother being held down and whipped, he immediately rushed over without hesitation: "Stop, stop immediately, what kind of shrew dared to cause trouble in the military camp!"
As he spoke, he drew the sword from his waist and charged straight at Cheng Wanwan.
At this moment, four eunuchs, four palace maids, and two nannies stepped forward and blocked Vice Commandant Ye's path.
One of the maids lowered her head and said, "This person is from Sui'an. Is Deputy Commandant Ye going to attack the Sui'an people?"
Deputy Commandant Ye was shocked. This was actually a person from Sui'an. When did his younger brother offend the people from Sui'an?
After Sui'an came to the capital, she was summoned by the emperor and empress one after another, and she also founded a reading pavilion, which made her famous in the capital. Even if she was just a woman of the sixth rank with no real power, she should not be provoked.
"Brother, I'm being beaten to death! Help me!" Ye Lingbo screamed. "Just kill her! Kill her! I'll take responsibility for all the consequences!"
Deputy Commandant Ye was a relatively calm person. He wouldn't dare to kill a court lady, but he could get the people of Sui'an to stop their violence. If they continued beating like this, his brother would faint...
He stepped forward again.
Ten people in the palace surrounded him in a semicircle, not allowing him to take even a single step forward.
He said coldly, "Get out of my way, or don't blame me for drawing my sword."
The nanny lowered her head and said, "We are all the Queen's confidants. If Deputy Commander Ye hurts us, it would be a slap in the face of the Queen. Deputy Commander Ye is welcome to give it a try."
Deputy Commander Ye's face turned ashen.
No wonder the people of Sui'an dared to storm the military camp and cause trouble; it turns out they had the Empress as their backer.
Not long ago, Consort Yun was confined to her quarters by the Empress for half a month, supposedly because this Sui'an person sowed discord between them in front of the Empress...
The Queen Mother is supporting the people of Sui'an, so is the people of Sui'an acting as a knife for the Queen Mother to deal with the Ye family, trying to make Concubine Yun fall out of favor?
He took a deep breath and said, "The people of Sui'an spared his life. If he made a mistake, the army will handle it. Aren't the people of Sui'an afraid of being criticized for interfering in military affairs?"
Cheng Wanwan lashed out with her whip, a cold smile playing on her lips: "I am no longer a Sui'an native, but an ordinary mother whose son is about to die. Anyone who dares to hurt my son, I will repay them tenfold... He whipped my son at least five times, so I have to return the favor with fifty lashes. That was the twenty-eighth lash. Deputy Commander Ye, don't be in a hurry, wait a little longer!"
She raised her hand and slapped it down hard.
If she was a man who knew kung fu, more than twenty whips would have made Ye Lingbo almost dead. However, even if she was not very strong, such continuous whipping made Ye Lingbo suffer terribly. His upper body was already covered with scars. Several whips hit the same place, leaving his skin torn and flesh exposed. He looked very miserable.
But she didn't show any mercy and continued to smoke.
Deputy Commander Ye's expression darkened. This woman was too vicious. Did she really think that she could act lawlessly just because she had the Empress as her backer?
He turned and ran to find the general to seek justice.
The general was discussing matters with several deputy generals when he heard that someone was causing a disturbance in the military camp. He was immediately enraged. When he came over, he saw that Ye Lingbo's upper body was covered in blood.
The woman was still cracking the whip, muttering to herself, "...forty-nine, fifty!"
After counting to fifty, Cheng Wanwan threw away the long whip. It was only then that she realized her right hand was exhausted. She had never known that whipping someone could be so tiring.
