Chapter 744: weeds and roots
Chapter 744 Cut Weeds and Roots
Jiang Erye finished speaking, stared at his son for a while, got up and patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief, "Ying Tianshui has heard the real situation in the bandit's lair for my father, you have done a good job."
The imperial court sent the forbidden army to destroy the water bandits who were the calamity. This is clearly stated in the official document.
Women value chastity more than life. After Jiang Erlang rescued 36 imprisoned women, four of them lost their minds and committed suicide by hitting a rock. After discussing with Kang Yueliang and Jiang Erlang, Jiang Ling decided to secretly send these women down the mountain for proper resettlement. Therefore, the public announcement only included how many bandits were killed, how many were captured alive, and how many stolen goods were seized, but these women were not mentioned.
Jiang Ling said truthfully, "This was not decided by one person."
"But you came up with the idea, and the credit should go to you. It's a good thing that you fought bravely and showed compassion to the people in distress." The son can propose to properly arrange the rescued women, instead of using them Taking credit, Jiang Erye was surprised and relieved, and he was not allowed to give in. This is what my son desperately bought, and no one wants to take it away. "Don't worry, this good thing will definitely be heard in the sky, and it will be known by Long Live. With this good reputation, you will be able to rely on more when you return to Suzhou. ."
Jiang Ling was overwhelmed by his father's words, and couldn't help but said again, "When I first went to the cottage, I didn't kill anyone, so I thought about catching a few more survivors. After discovering the tragic situation in the mountain prison, I started to use the knife. If they want their lives, they will take the risk to catch the bandit leader Huang Loach."
"Good job!" Jiang Erye patted his son on the shoulder again, and then said regretfully, "It's a pity that Huang Loach is dead, otherwise using torture to open his mouth will definitely have a greater harvest."
Jiang Ling did not tell his father that he had learned from Huang Loach about the distribution map of the bandits in Gyeonggi and Yingtian, because his father could not help himself in the officialdom, and telling him would also cause him trouble. But there is one thing that I still have to tell my father, "When we went down the mountain, it was the Yingtian Fu Xiang Army who was holding the yellow loach. If they hadn't deliberately relaxed, the yellow loach would not have the opportunity to commit suicide."
Jiang Erye was stunned for a moment, and continued, "If the bandits can grow bigger, there must be someone in the yazhong. Sooner or later, the Censor Desk and the Ministry of Officials will find out about this, and then send people to Yingtianfu to investigate. As for what they found out was behind the scenes. The black hand or the scapegoat, it depends on which way to go. This matter has nothing to do with us, you go back and rest early... By the way, these few nights have been nightmares?"
Jiang Ling answered categorically, "No."
Jiang Erye let go of his son with regret, and went to find his eldest brother and third brother to discuss Erlang's placement.
Jiang Song was shocked when he learned that the two princes were going to join Qianniuwei. "It is a taboo for the prince to hold military power. Long live this move is really intriguing."
Jiang Erye speculated, "Long live the spring and autumn season, Kong Fengge and Ye Qingfeng are both loyal to Long live, Long live to let the two princes enter the Qianniuwei for training, on the one hand, to train the son, on the other hand, it should be to deter Qin Tianye ."
Jiang Huai was puzzled, "Second brother, how does this deter you?"
Jiang Erye admitted that he still had some understanding of Wan Sui's thoughts, "The root cause of the chaos in Suzhou lies in Zuo Wuwei. The eldest prince is the direct son of the main palace. If the rebellion in Suzhou really comes when it is necessary to send troops to suppress it, Long live the eldest prince. If you go out on the expedition on behalf of your father, the military will be greatly boosted."
"It makes sense!" Jiang Huai nodded, then scratched his head again, "What is Qin Tianye doing so much tossing to death for?"
Jiang Song said, "He must have his reasons, there must be something we don't know, it's not something we can guess."
The things above, the more you know, the faster you die. Jiang Erye returned to the main topic, "I want Ling'er to go to Qianniuwei, Erlang officially joins Yulinwei, what do you think about the eldest brother and the third brother?"
Jiang Song nodded, "Qianniuwei is the emperor's guard, even if Erlang goes to Qianniuwei for training, he will not be able to stay in Qianniuwei in the future. It is better to let him take advantage of his military achievements and find a serious job in Yulinwei. Just letting Linger go to Qianniuwei alone is really worrying."
Jiang Erye smiled and said, "Kang Yueliang, Huang Jianyun and Chai Lindi also went to Qianniuwei. With them taking care of each other, Ling'er should be fine."
Jiang Song said happily, "Having been with Yulin Weizhong for a few months, Ling'er can have a deep friendship with the son of a first-class meritorious nobleman in the court, which will be of great benefit to his future development."
Jiang Erye reminded, "It's not just Linger, Erlang has also gotten along well with them these past few months."
Jiang Huai said with emotion, "I didn't expect that these children in our house would be Erlang the first to enter the official position. Second brother, with Erlang's military merit, what kind of errand can he get."
Jiang Erye said happily, "I asked Hanzhi, and he said he was at least a centurion."
Centurion, as the name suggests, is a military officer who commands a hundred people. Jiang Song worried, "Erlang is only sixteen years old, can he shock a hundred people?"
"Brother, if Erlang can kill four gangsters with a knife, he will be able to deter a group of officers and soldiers who have never killed anyone." Killing someone is completely different from never killing someone. Jiang Erye has the most to say about this. Quan, "Erlang has been training in Yulinwei for a few years. How can he be promoted to the sixth or seventh rank when he is 20 years old. When that time comes, I will transfer him to 50% of the soldiers and the horse division. In his life, we don't need to worry about him."
Jiang Song is of course very happy that his son has such a good way out, "Erlang told me that because Ling'er sent two people to help him block swords and arrows, he could only kill the enemy with all his heart, I don't know how to thank Linger. That's good."
Jiang Erye smiled and said, "Although that stinky boy has a cold face every day, his heart is not cold, and he knows who treats him well. He is willing to help Erlang, it must be because Erlang also helped him. Big brother , let's not get involved in the children's affairs and let them go upside down on their own."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Song responded repeatedly, "The children can watch and help each other, and the family can be harmonious and beautiful. It's better than this."
Jiang Huai hehe said, "My two stinky boys have grown up. If they want to study, they will be helped by Dalang and Zheng's son-in-law, and if they want to practice martial arts, Linger and Erlang will be in charge. Thinking of this, the younger brother feels that the burden on his shoulders has changed. Much lighter."
Jiang Erye raised his face, imitating his eldest brother's posture and tone, "If you feel the burden is light, just regenerate a few more and make up for the weight."
Jiang Huai was amused by the second brother, and Jiang Song was also laughed at by the second brother who was not right.
Jiang Ling returned to the west courtyard, Uncle Qiu had been waiting in the room for a long time. Seeing that the young master was back, Uncle Qiu poured him tea and asked, "How did the young master arrange for the youngest son of Huang Loach?"
"Killed." Jiang Ling answered very succinctly, and then urged, "Don't tell my sister about this. If she asks, she will say that I gave my child to an ordinary hunter in the mountains."
"The grass will be rooted out, the young master did the right thing, please rest assured, the six girls will never know about this." Uncle Qiu said, pointing to the mountain range between Muzhong and Taikang on the map and asked, "The young master did not ask Huang Loach asked about the situation of Siguniang Mountain?"
Jiang Ling replied, "I asked, he only said that there were no bandits in Siguniang Mountain, and he would not talk about it any more."
There are no bandits, but there may be others. Uncle Qiu's eyes turned and he had an idea, "There must be something strange in the mountains of Siguniang. Let's have someone tell Princess Renyang the news?"
Jiang Ling nodded, "It would be more appropriate for her to be a pawn, is there any news from Qinjiazhuang?"
