Yinreng raised his eyes and looked at those who stood up to oppose.
"Why, do you have any objections?"
They looked at each other, and then a young man with single eyelids and a long face stood out.
"Prince, how could you punish the Eight Banners Army in this way?"
"He can even throw red-hot iron at others, and you can't stand me doing this to him?"
Yinreng glanced at the offender and saw that he was pale and looking around anxiously, as if he was looking for someone to support him.
Oh……
Yinreng sneered in his heart, are you scared now?
He is doomed to be punished today unless that old man Kangxi comes in person to stop it.
"How can they be the same? He is just a Han Chinese of humble origin. Isn't it a bit too much for you to punish us Manchus for him..."
As the long-faced young man spoke, he glared at the Han people who were watching the fun nearby.
He did not use Manchu, but spoke Chinese on purpose, just to let the Han soldiers next to him hear and let them face the reality.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Han soldiers clenched their fists in anger.
This grandson has a really bad mouth!
"Oh, you're of humble origin? Then I'd like to ask, what is your origin?"
The long-faced young man was stunned for a moment, then said proudly,
"I am from the Juercha branch, and my uncle is Erxi, the current patriarch of the Juercha family!"
"He's a descendant of the Five Founding Heroes, so he's really good. What about him?"
Yinreng pointed at the person who committed the crime.
"he……"
The long-faced young man was a little hesitant, mainly because his identity was a bit sensitive. Thinking of this, he looked up at Yinreng, and there was a bit of gloating in his eyes.
Yinreng became impatient and asked someone else to answer his question.
"Your Highness, he is from a branch of the Nalan clan. He is... one of the people that Master Mingzhu is currently examining and intends to adopt to Second Master Nalan."
Hearing this, Yinreng suddenly understood.
Nalan Kuixu is already thirty years old this year, but he has no children. Nalan Mingzhu only has this son left. He has found many doctors to treat him, but to no avail.
Now I have accepted my fate and want to adopt one or two male children to raise as offspring. I can't let my family line end without one.
No wonder the long-faced young man didn't dare to tell him the identity of this person.
Oh!
"So, this is why you think I can't treat him like this?"
After being appointed by Emperor Kangxi, Nalan Mingzhu was still active for a while at first, but later everyone found out that Kangxi was deliberately ignoring him and had no intention of using him, so the Nalan family became neglected.
However, the old man Hu is still powerful. As long as Mingzhu is alive, few people in the court dare to openly bully the Nalan family.
But Yinreng was not among them.
Kangxi has already scolded him, so why is he afraid of Nalan Mingzhu?
"Since you think he can't bear the punishment, then you should help him bear it. After all..."
Yinreng's brows furrowed, and his expression became extremely ferocious.
"To me, you are all of humble origins!"
"Come here, take them all away!"
When the Han people who were watching heard this, they instantly became excited and rushed forward to arrest the Eight Banners soldiers who had stood up.
Seeing that the incident was about to happen to them, these people finally panicked.
"Your Highness, you cannot do this to us. We are all descendants of the Eight Banners and share the same clan as you. How can you torture us for this lowly person?"
"Yes, Prince! We are of the same clan!"
"Prince, aren't you afraid of being impeached?"
"Please, Your Highness, spare us. This is all Yuan Zhi's fault. It has nothing to do with us!"
Yuanzhi is the young man who committed the crime.
Yinreng took the red-hot iron sheet and approached the men step by step. When he heard their words of begging for mercy or threats, he laughed sarcastically.
"I've already said that you are of humble origin, so I can treat you however I want!"
As he spoke, the blackened iron sheet was directly imprinted on the chest of the long-faced young man.
“Ahhhh!!”
The long-faced young man's shrill screams resounded through the sky.
Even when Yinreng held the iron piece in his hand, he was certain that Yinreng would not dare to do this to them. However, when the iron piece hit his chest directly, the long-faced young man realized that Yinreng was not trying to scare them at all!
At this moment, the long-faced young man felt the piercing pain and breathed the burnt smell in the air, and his heart was filled with hatred!
He hated Yuanzhi for looking for trouble, hated the prince for making a big deal out of it, and also hated himself for standing up for Yuanzhi.
The Han army was filled with joy when they saw this scene, but the mood of the remaining Manchus was not so good.
"Your Highness, spare my life!"
"Please forgive us this time, Your Highness. We will never dare to do it again!"
"It's Yuanzhi! Everything was done by Yuanzhi, it has nothing to do with us!"
Faced with his comrades' accusations, Yuanzhi was unable to refute and could only stare at them in shock and anger.
Faced with these people's pleas for mercy, Yinreng turned a deaf ear and even called out a few Han people to hold them down tighter to prevent them from breaking free during the execution.
None of the people behind escaped, and all were forced to feel the sensation of a branding iron on their bodies.
As for Yuanzhi, since someone had taken the blame for him, Yinreng did not punish him any further and released him directly.
But Yinreng was sure that Yuanzhi would have a hard time in the military camp in the future.
Yinreng threw away the branding iron and said to the military doctor, "Treat him well. When he recovers, go to Zhou Hai to claim your reward!"
"yes!"
Everything that happened today also made the military doctor feel very emotional. The governor of Weihaiwei was a Manchu, and the military doctor knew very well how they had acted arrogantly in the military camp in the past.
Although he was angry, he had no way to deal with that group of people. The prince's actions today directly refreshed his understanding of the Manchus.
Seeing that the matter was over, Yinreng raised his foot to go out, then as if he remembered something, he turned back and ordered,
"Take this...what's his name?"
Yinreng pointed at the injured veteran and asked.
"His name is Zhang Gousheng!"
As soon as Yinreng finished speaking, someone answered his question with enthusiasm.
To these soldiers, Yinreng, who could make decisions for them, was like a god.
Zhang Gousheng...
This name is amazing.
"Send someone to bring Zhang Gousheng's wife, children, and grandchildren here, and find them a job in the kitchen or in the logistics department!"
When everyone heard this, the enthusiasm on their faces immediately turned into envy. What a lucky guy Zhang Gousheng and his family were! If they could join the military camp, they wouldn't have to dig for food in the fields anymore and would have no worries about food and clothing.
After giving the order, Yinreng didn't care about the reactions of the crowd and just left.
Someone will help him deal with the follow-up matters.
In the afternoon, Yinzhi, who received the news, rushed to find Yinreng.
"Second brother, you are too impulsive!"
