Chapter 95 95 Punished
The mighty general's mansion in the capital city.
General Yuchi Yong, who had just returned from the military camp in the suburbs, stared with his eyes wide open at the beloved horse bestowed upon him by the emperor, his head drooping limply on the ground, as if he could no longer be dead.
The general had a rough appearance and blue veins were faintly visible on his full forehead. Anyone could see how angry he was.
"Where's that bastard? Call him out. It's useless for anyone to plead for him this time."
The servants around him shrank back, and the housekeeper looked at them and could only tremble as he stepped forward to report: "General... the Red Flame Horse was brought back by the servants.
Young Master, the police said that you have been taken away and punished for riding your horse on the street."
"You deserve to be punished for riding a horse in the long street." General Yuchi said in hatred, "Did the brat get taken away by Jingzhao Yin's people?"
The butler bent his waist even lower and replied, "No...I don't know."
After replying, the housekeeper saw his general looking at him with dissatisfaction, and he quickly added: "I went to ask around, and I only heard that the young man was with Master Xi of the Cheng En family.
There were also Young Master Gao Tai from the Zhengdong General's family and Young Master Hang from the Wuchang Marquis' family. The four horses were startled and disturbed pedestrians on the street, and knocked over many stalls, causing some injuries. "
"Someone saw them being forcibly taken out of the city. As for where they were taken, I still don't know."
The old butler replied tremblingly.
General Yuchi frowned slightly.
Although he was a rough man, he could sense that this matter was not simple.
After all, normally speaking, what happened to those brats this time is a public security incident in the capital.
How could he be taken out of the capital if he was under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Yin or Taichang Si?
He believed that his steward had already asked the officials, but probably didn't find out anything.
Based on his family's status in the capital.
If the officials knew about the prestige of his general's mansion, they would probably reveal some information.
It can be seen that even the officers didn’t know where those little bastards were taken.
Being able to take the man away and punish him smoothly right under the noses of the officials, General Yuchi narrowed his eyes slightly and had already made up his mind.
The Jiang family of Cheng’en Mansion.
When Jiang Xuan learned that his nephew was taken away and punished for riding a horse in the street, he just nodded lightly to indicate that he understood.
The butler glanced at the third young master who was now in charge of Duke Cheng'en's Mansion. He had a pale face and looked like he was powerless.
But after he used ruthless methods when the Cheng'en Mansion was in decline, who would dare to underestimate the sickly Third Master Jiang who had been weak since childhood?
"Go down."
"Yes!" The butler shuddered and quickly retreated.
The man raised his head. His unusually pale face had delicate features, but the light flashing in his narrow eyes made people dare not look directly at him.
At the residence of the Third Rank General Zhengdong, General Gao's wife was making a scene at home, insisting that her son had not returned for a day and a night and was in danger. She was clamoring to report to the authorities.
He was forcibly stopped by General Gao.
Anyone with a little common sense would know that if they could take someone away on the street and punish him, they must have been ordered to do so by someone who was more powerful than their families.
If his family reported to the authorities at this time, not only would they not be able to find their son, but they might also bring trouble to the general's mansion. Having been in the officialdom for so many years, General Gao still had some awareness of this.
But even a rough guy like General Gao knows this truth, but some people just have a very high opinion of themselves.
Du Yingying, the wife of Cao Zhiqing, a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites and a concubine of the Marquis of Wuchang, went to the Jingzhao Yin to report the incident when her beloved son did not return home for a day and a night.
She also went to the Wuchang Marquis's Mansion to ask the Wuchang Marquis, who had doted on her as a concubine since she was a child, for help in finding his son.
Only then did he learn that his own brother, the son of Du Qiwen, the eldest son of the Wuchang Marquis's family, and his own nephew had also been taken away while riding a horse on the street and had not returned for a day and a night.
Moreover, she asked her father and brother to find someone, but was scolded by her sister-in-law who always disliked her.
The families who were riding horses were waiting silently. She was the only one who had the ability to report to the authorities. Do you think Jingzhao Yin would pay attention to you, the wife of a fourth-rank official? Du Yingying gritted her teeth and said goodbye and went home when she found her sister-in-law watching their jokes.
In the palace.
Emperor Si Yexiao heard the report that An Xin did not beat or scold the young men who were riding their horses on the long street.
The five men were forced to ride on horses for three days in the snow and ice, and they were never allowed to get off their horses except to eat.
The expression on his face changed from weirdness at first to satisfaction with the punishment at the end.
Eunuch Xiang, the chief eunuch, saw that the emperor looked relaxed and smiled slightly.
Then he added a few more words: "Miss An's original words are like this, since they like the feeling of galloping on horses so much, they should satisfy this habit.
Only when they enjoy riding will they stop riding horses on the street next time."
"Hahaha, interesting, the little girl is really interesting." Si Yexiao couldn't help laughing when he heard An Xin say this.

Eunuch Xiang originally wanted to please the emperor, so when he saw Si Yexiao laughing, he also laughed happily along.
It was three days later when the teenagers returned home.
An Xin deliberately avoids attracting hatred.
Before letting them go back, they were given a bath.
Originally, she wanted to put some makeup on them to cover up their haggardness, but the teenagers refused to appreciate An Xin's kindness.
So An Xin could only give up helplessly.
The young men left Zhuangzi with gnashing teeth.
An Xin also returned to the Su family and Liu Bo's house with six people who had been following her in the manor for three days because they were worried that something might happen to her.
Old Liu and Old Su knew that An Xin had received an order from an important figure that day to teach a few little bullies in the capital a lesson.
I'm still very worried about them these days.
Seeing them come back, An Xin just revealed it vaguely and didn't say more.
Both were thousand-year-old foxes. Old Liu and Old Su looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.
On the surface, the matter just passed like that.
An Xin also secretly visited Kong Xun several times and saw that he was pretending to be sick, and he did a good job of it.
When Mrs. Kong saw that Kong Xun was half-dead, she did not poison him again.
Tutor Kong still had the image of a good father, but every time he asked for a doctor, Kong Xun refused.
And the good elder brother who has always been friendly and respectful to Kong Xun would often care about his younger brother.
Seeing that he could deal with the Kong family, An Xin knew that this kid was also a scheming person, so he ignored him.
Anyway, the system asked her to save people, and she has already done so.
Ever since the last incident, An Xin felt that the waters in the capital were too deep and one could easily lose his life if he was not careful.
She was bored at home and started giving questions to Li Ziyu and the other six people. She said seriously that she wanted to test their knowledge, but in fact she was just bored and just wanted to find them to kill time.
