Chapter 623 Punishment
"Although you were not aware of what she did, you are also responsible for failing to supervise her properly."
Su Ying turned her gaze to Meng Jiang, who had been keeping her head down since she came in, "Meng Jiang was even instigated by her to do something stupid."
Last night, the men in black interrogated Xie Rui all night long, and Xie Rui told the whole story about his relationship with Wang Furong.
It turned out that long before Mengzi and his companions arrived at Tiankui City, Xie Rui had secretly infiltrated the Tiger Camp and contacted Wang Furong.
He knew that Wang Furong was Mengzi's daughter-in-law, so he used all kinds of sweet words to trick her into being his undercover agent.
Wang Furong was actually unwilling to marry Meng Jiang. She looked down on Meng Jiang, but she had no choice.
After Xie Rui appeared, her uneasy heart was shaken at once, especially after knowing that Xie Rui was the prince of Jin State, she even fantasized about her life as a royal concubine.
Under Xie Rui's coaxing, she told Xie Rui everything about the Tiger Camp and Tiankui City.
It was because of her that Xie Rui’s men were able to find the mine so quickly.
But Wang Furong was not completely stupid. She knew that if she was discovered colluding with Xie Rui, she would be dead, so she thought she was smart and left herself a way out, which was to give Meng Jiang medicine to make herself pregnant.
If she could leave with Xie Rui smoothly, she would secretly abort the child and believe that Xie Rui would definitely not know.
If that doesn't work, she can still use the baby in her belly to save her life.
But she could never have imagined that Meng Jiang would strangle her to death without even wanting her own child.
"Meng Jiang is stupid, please punish me, City Lord."
Su Ying picked up the whip and looked down at him, "You are guilty of arson without reason. Today, this city lord will punish you personally. If you can bear it, then this city lord will not care about it anymore."
"Meng Jiang is willing to accept any punishment...ah!"
Before Meng Jiang finished his words, Su Ying swung the long whip in her hand down fiercely, and Meng Jiang's back was instantly torn apart.
The Mengzi couple were horrified, but they dared not say a word to plead for Meng Jiang.
The only sound in the entire main hall was the "hissing" sound of Su Ying's whip hitting flesh and blood.
After ten lashes, Su Ying stopped.
"Mengzi is not good at judging people and is not doing a good job of supervision. This city lord will take back your right to supervise the people in Tiger Camp. From now on, the people from Tiger Camp will also be incorporated into the jurisdiction of the Security Bureau. Do you have any objection?"
Mengzi didn't even frown, "Mengzi obeys your command."
Su Ying threw down the whip and said, "Back off."
"yes."
The Mengzi couple helped Meng Jiang away. Although there were only ten lashes, the one who did it was Su Ying, and ten lashes could be more powerful than dozens of lashes by others.
Meng Jiang was beaten, Meng Zi's rights were taken back, and the matter was over.
As for the Tiger Camp, Su Ying temporarily asked the Black Protector to take people to guard it. That was the only way to enter the Northern Wilderness and reach the Tiankui City, and it could not be abandoned.
As Su Ying requested, Xie Rui wrote a letter back to Jin State to his confidants, asking them to find a way to raise what they wanted and then send it to the Northern Wilderness.
The King of Jin did not know that Xie Rui was in the Northern Wilderness, including his own clan. It was entirely his own idea for him to return to the Northern Wilderness to rob the mines, which led to the fact that he could not ask them for help after he got into trouble.
He could only place his hope on his confidants. Someone was watching the contents of the letter and he couldn't do anything about it. He could only hope that his people could understand his signal for help, find clues, and then bring people to the northern wilderness to rescue him.
Su Ying returned to the palace, and as soon as she sat down, a man in green came in with a letter sent by a flying eagle.
Su Ying looked at the thick stack of money in the green-clothed man's hand and pinched her brows.
hiss.
She seemed to have forgotten to send a message to Xiao Jin these two days.
"City Lord, this is a letter from the State of Chu."
Su Ying nodded, motioning him to put down the letter.
After the man in green left, Su Ying opened the letters one by one.
Xiao Jin's powerful and strong handwriting jumped before his eyes. There was no long speech in it. He just used a few simple words to summarize his current situation, mentioned the child a few words, and finally asked about her progress here.
Every word between the lines reveals a sense of indifference, except for the last sentence, "There's nothing going on here, so you don't have to rush back." This sentence seems to have a sour and smelly smell.
She really didn't want to go back, but she didn't say it!
Su Ying didn't know why Xiao Jin became so free after she arrived in the Northern Wilderness and could find time to write to her every day.
Although she felt there was nothing much to say, Su Ying still replied to every letter he sent honestly.
After writing the reply, Su Ying stretched and asked Green Protector to send the reply out.
"City Lord, Chief Qiao has returned to the city."
After dinner, Su Ying was about to rest when she heard the man in green coming to report.
Su Ying calculated that the time was about right, "Bring the person in."
"yes."
After a while, Qiao Yang came in with several leading Chu soldiers.
Even though they tried hard to control their eyes, the team leaders still couldn't help but look around.
When they came, they never imagined that there would be such a place in the northern wilderness.
But this was not the most shocking thing for them. What surprised them most was Su Ying who was sitting at the top.
She is actually the owner of this magnificent city!
"Meet the city lord."
The team leaders all came back to their senses and followed Qiao Yang in kneeling and saluting, "Greetings..." For a moment they didn't know how to address him.
"Greetings, Madam."
"Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, City Lord."
Qiao Yang stood up and looked at Su Ying eagerly, like a primary school student waiting to be praised.
Su Ying raised her eyebrows and kindly gave him a roast chicken made by Uncle Murong.
The roast chicken is small, but what Su Ying gave is the key.
Qiao Yang happily went to eat the roast chicken.
"Madam, when did you arrive?" a team leader asked in confusion.
It seemed like Su Ying had been here for several days, but they were clearly trying very hard to get there. Even if Su Ying was fast, she wouldn't be much faster than them.
"It's not long yet. It's getting late today. You guys should go down and rest for a night. We can talk about anything tomorrow."
After entering the Northern Wilderness, they were nervous all the way. They had heard many rumors about the Northern Wilderness in the capital before, and thought it was a man-eating den, so they did not dare to take it lightly when they came.
We did see a lot of corpses on the road, but it wasn’t as scary as I had imagined. However, I was really tired.
"Yes, I will take my leave first."
Su Ying asked the men in green to place them in a row of houses outside the palace.
On the other side, Xie Rui's confidants also received the message he sent back.
Xie Rui's confidant was waiting in the border city. He was wondering why there was no news from Xie Rui in these days, and then this letter arrived.
But after reading the letter, he felt terrible.
