"Please."
Qin Su'an was stunned. "Are you really not afraid? This is a serious crime. Otherwise, give me some money and I won't sue you."
Xie Wanyun said coldly, "Get out of here! This is the Duke of Zhenguo's residence. You're trespassing. You don't have to report it to the police. How about I report it first?"
"Well, Xie Wanyun, you really won't cry until you see the coffin. Just wait!"
Qin Suan said this, limping away. "Will you still be able to hold your ground when you're caught by the government?" Then, perhaps the Xie family's property would be confiscated, and even if it didn't reach Qin Suan, he could still vent his anger.
He was furious in his heart and walked out with his head down.
As soon as they walked out of the gate, they ran into the Ministry of War who were looking for men. They hadn't completed their mission today and were worried. When they saw an adult man coming, they rushed over and grabbed him.
"Still wandering the streets so late? Are you refugees? The public security in Shangjing City is ruined by you. Hurry and follow the general!"
"Wait, you're mistaken. I'm not a refugee. I'm the Marquis of Yuan'an. Let me go! I want to go home!" Qin Su'an was stunned. What was going on? Was he the one being conscripted?
The group burst into laughter. "Listen, listen, he's still calling himself a marquis! He's a lunatic, isn't he?"
He was wearing ragged clothes, had unkempt hair and a dirty face. He was either a refugee or a poor man who was just being forced to serve in the army. They pushed and shoved him away.
Qin Su'an couldn't break free and yelled in fear, "Wait a minute! I'm really the Marquis! And I really can't be a soldier! Can't you see I'm a cripple?"
Don't worry about face or anything like that, saving your life is the most important thing.
The men laughed and said, "It's okay if you're lame, as long as you can walk."
"Stop!" Qin Su'an was about to go crazy, shouting, "I want to report it, I want to expose it, someone is burning paper in this mansion! I'll take you to see it! Help, someone is being kidnapped..."
"You're still so noisy, you lame fellow!" Someone impatiently grabbed a rag and stuffed it into his mouth, slapped him in the face, and cursed, "Quiet down!"
"Is he a madman? This house has been uninhabited for many days, where would someone come from to burn paper?"
Another one took up the rope and tied him up tightly, saying with a smile: "Yes, this lame fellow deserves his bad luck. He is so crazy and stupid that he will be cannon fodder if sent to the front line."
Several people burst into laughter.
Qin Suan was completely dumbfounded! He struggled to get free, but couldn't. His mouth was blocked, so he could only make "mumbling" sounds. Oh my god, how could he, Qin Suan, end up in this situation? Oh heaven, oh earth, who can come and save him?
He regretted it so much! Why was he running around the streets at this time? If it weren't for Xie Wanyun, how could he have encountered such a thing?
Xie Wanyun was truly his doom! She had already destroyed his family, and now he was being used as cannon fodder. Where was justice?
However, no matter how much he resisted, he could not escape the fate of being cannon fodder and was dragged away like a dead dog.
Liu Yuner waited all night for Qin Su'an to return, but he didn't. She wondered if he'd gone mad again and couldn't find his way home. But she didn't plan to go out looking for him late at night. It would be better if he got lost! She could easily marry someone else. With her looks, finding a rich man wouldn't be a problem. If Xie Wanyun hadn't forced her, who would want to live with a crippled lunatic?
Xie Wanyun followed Qin Suan out of the door and happened to see him being taken away. She thought that this was a relief and that Qin Suan should do his part for the country.
This war has been going on for more than two months, and the imperial court has been in a passive defensive position, exposing the shortcomings of the imperial court's lax military preparations in recent years.
After a long period of peace, the imperial court from top to bottom lost its vigilance and fighting spirit, and was completely defeated by the powerful attacks of the grassland peoples. If it weren't for the unusually strong Blue Moon Pass, it would have been breached long ago.
Battle reports from the front came in one after another, all bad news. Panic set in at court, with some advocating for peace, even if it meant ceding territory and paying compensation, as long as the Mobei troops withdrew.
Emperor Dezong was so angry that he dragged the man out of the Meridian Gate, beat him with a hundred sticks, and then sent him directly to prison.
He shouted angrily, "You are all useless! You are eating the state's salary in vain. What's the point of the court supporting you?!"
All the civil and military officials in the court were silent.
