After being exiled, she married a rough man, and the sickly beauty was spoiled

"Boss, this might not be a good thing." Jiang Huaizhong looked worried. "You know Sun Huxing can make a big fuss over a trivial matter. Moreover, he almost lost half his life this time. He will definitely not give up easily."

"He is just a good-for-nothing. He can't cause much trouble. Let the brothers release his men. I will explain to the captain in person." He Zhan handed the food box to Jiang Huaizhong, and the corners of his lips slightly raised. "My wife prepared the meal for me personally. Please watch over it for me first."

Jiang Huaizhong: “?”

Is now the time to say this?

Jiang Huaizhong released Sun Huxing's men as He Zhan instructed. After being released, the men immediately ran to the Qianhu Mansion to file a complaint.

Qianhu Mansion.

A man in training uniform knelt down in the courtyard, prostrated himself three times, and cried out, "I beg the captain to make the decision for my Sun Zongqi!"

A handsome man in white walked out from the main hall, but he was not the captain.

He stood under the eaves of the corridor, looking down at the people kneeling in the courtyard from a few steps away: "What is your name? Who are you suing? What is the matter?"

Zhao Er only glanced at the man in the corridor and immediately lowered his head. This man was obviously a scholar, but his whole body exuded an intimidating aura.

Zhao Er quickly realized that this should be Xie Yunsui, a popular figure around the captain in recent times, who was specifically responsible for assisting the captain in making decisions on various matters.

He knelt respectfully on the ground and lowered his head. "Your Excellency, I am Zhao Er, a subordinate of General Sun. I came here to seek justice for my General Sun. He was attacked by a thief for no reason. Several of his teeth were broken. In order to protect him, his two brothers were also beaten. General Sun and his two brothers are now unconscious. The thief is so arrogant that he didn't even say a word of apology and even sent people to stop me and not allow me to come to complain. Such a bad behavior, I hope you will punish him severely to set an example!"

Xie Yunsui slowly walked down the stairs and stood in front of Zhao Er. He didn't look completely convinced and asked, "How can there be so many inexplicable things in this world? Who is that thief? Where is your general flag? Why did you provoke the thief? From what you said, there were three of you and the thief was alone. Why did you end up in such an embarrassing situation when you were fighting three against one? Does this also expose the fact that you are not good at training?"

After a series of intense questioning, Zhao Er couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He was so nervous that he completely forgot the speech he had prepared.

The voice of the person above my head suddenly became grim: "Look up and answer me."

Zhao Er's body trembled, and he raised his head unsteadily, meeting Xie Yunsui's deep and sharp eyes. All his thoughts seemed to be exposed, and before he could think, the words came out of his mouth:

"Replying to Lord Xie, the villain is He Zhan. He has always been fierce in the army. We can't defeat him even if we are ten against one! And General Sun did nothing evil. He just said a few more words to his wife outside the training ground, and He Zhan went crazy and attacked us. No one could stop him!"

Xie Yunsui's eyes darkened. He had fought with He Zhan several times and knew that he was not a reckless person. Sun Huxing must have done something dirty to Ling Mei, which led to He Zhan's crazy revenge.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhao Er with a bit of cruelty in his eyes: "You are required to explain the whole story of this matter clearly. If you conceal the details and falsely accuse others, your fate will be even worse than Sun Huxing's."

Xie Yunsui gave a look and immediately two generals holding military sticks stood up.

"A false accusation is punishable by a hundred strokes of the cane. Since you are filing a complaint on behalf of others, you cannot escape joint responsibility. If you were deceived by the instigator, you may be given a lighter sentence of ten military sticks. If you conspired with the instigator and deliberately made a false accusation, you will be punished with double the punishment. You decide for yourself whether you want ten military sticks or two hundred." Xie Yunsui's voice was light, but it seemed to have substance, which made people terrified.

Zhao Er was already guilty, and now he was directly led into a ditch by Xie Yunsui's preconceived words. If he were hit with two hundred military sticks, he would probably die on the spot.

He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Sir, spare my life. I won't sue anymore. It was General Sun. He offended General He's wife with his frivolous words and tried to take him away by force. General He was so angry that he beat him up severely."

Zhao Er's feet began to tremble. If he had known that Xie Yunsui would be the one to decide the matter today, he should have found an excuse to fool Sun Huxing and asked him to find someone else to file a complaint.

Now he has been implicated as well. Now he can only hope that he will confess on his own initiative, and Xie Yunsui will show leniency to him and reward him with ten military sticks.

"Really?" Xie Yunsui raised the corners of his lips slightly, outlining a seemingly gentle smile, but that smile did not reach his eyes, instead flashing an elusive cold light, "Since you know the whole picture of the matter, but still conspire with the instigator and deliberately falsely accuse others, you should be punished with 200 military sticks."

Zhao Er raised his head abruptly, his pupils trembling violently, as if they were about to shatter: "Sir, please spare my life, sir, please spare my life!"

Xie Yunsui still had a smile on his face. He slowly shifted his gaze to the two generals and said in a level voice, "Now that the facts are clear, please proceed with the execution."

Zhao Er cried and shouted bitterly, but it was of no avail. He was forcibly dragged to the torture bench and made to lie down. As the military sticks fell alternately from left to right, his screams became more and more mournful.

Xie Yunsui took a long cloth strip, walked to the punishment bench, and handed it to the executioner: "Stop this man's mouth before executing him, so that he won't disturb the peace of the thousand households."

"Yes, thank you, sir!" One of the generals took the cloth and wrapped it tightly around Zhao Er's mouth several times.

Pain rolled through his body, but he couldn't scream out. Zhao Er just wanted to end it all once and for all. In his heart, he cursed Sun Huxing's ancestors for eighteen generations. It would be better for him to ask He Zhan to beat this lustful villain to death right away.

The commotion in the front yard had already alarmed thousands of households.

Shen Zheng, wearing only his undergarments, walked to the front yard and sat down on the armchair in front of the corridor. Immediately, a maid brought him a cup of tea.

Listening to the muffled shouts in the courtyard, he didn't even raise his eyelids, but just lowered his head to sip his tea. After taking a few sips, he put down the teacup and waved to Xie Yunsui: "Military Advisor Xie, what's the matter with this man?"

Xie Yunsui bowed and saluted: "Reporting to the Lord, this person sued He Zhan for beating Sun Huxing without reason, causing Sun Huxing and two of his men to be missing."

Shen Zheng lazily leaned back on the armchair and said, "If that's the case, just bring He Zhan back and give him twenty military sticks. Why beat up such a small fry?"

As they were talking, the doorman came to report: "Sir Shen, General He is outside the mansion and wants to see you."
