202 Trial
Jiang Ying couldn’t help but curse inwardly. ng Hang was really an old fox!
He couldn’t afford to raise private soldiers, so he privately found so many capable people.
Jiang Ying was even more curious about where ng Hang had found them.
However, he would consider these things later.
!!
“I can promise you on their behalf, but I can’t guarantee that everyone will be willing to follow you,” ng Qin said.
Jiang Ying sneered. “You should know that the Imperial Court prohibits the raising of private soldiers. Whether it’s the people or the private soldiers raised, they have to be punished. If you don’t follow , I can only punish you according to the law. If it’s light, you’ll be beheaded. If it’s heavy, your entire family will be implicated!”
ng Qin gasped. He knew the consequences of raising private soldiers, but he always thought that Jiang Ying needed them very much to recruit them.
Therefore, when discussing the conditions, he attached this sentence.
He knew very well that the people ng Hang had personally summoned were unwilling to leave with Jiang Ying.
What to do…
People had feelings after interacting with each other for a long ti. He did not want anything to happen to those people.
“ng Hang’s cri has hard his entire family. If you’re unwilling, I can only hand you over to the governnt,” Jiang Ying said again.
The threat ate away at ng Qin’s rationality step by step.
If Jiang Ying had threatened him from the beginning, he might not have listened. But when these words were said bit by bit, giving him ti to think, he would panic.
It had to be said that Jiang Ying knew people too well.
“I’ll definitely do my best to persuade those people, but I can’t guarantee that they’ll listen,” ng Qin said.
A few people in the army were ng Hang’s followers. Those people only listened to ng Hang. He might not be able to dissuade them successfully.
“It’s good that you can do your best. I’ll give you three days and wait for your good news.” As Jiang Ying spoke, he gestured to Ah Da.
“Okay,” ng Qin said.
With that, Jiang Ying left with Ning Yue.
On the way back to the inn, Ning Yue asked Jiang Ying in confusion, “Why did you leave so easily? Aren’t you afraid that they’ll run away?”
“Of course I’m afraid, so I kept a backup plan,” Jiang Ying said.
“What backup plan?” Ning Yue frowned and recalled. Could it be that Jiang Ying’s last gesture was his backup plan?
“Before I ca, I had already called the nearby garrison over. I just asked Ah Da to inform them to guard five kiloters away in an hour,” Jiang Ying explained to Ning Yue.
So that was it! Ning Yue nodded. Jiang Ying had really put in a lot of effort to recruit these 100,000 private soldiers.
“By the way, why did you give them three days? I think we can do it tomorrow.” This was the strangest thing Ning Yue realized.
Did Jiang Ying say that he would co in three days to give them ti to escape?
“This is respect for ng Qin. In addition, I still have to deal with ng Hang’s matter. Three days is just right. Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. We have to hurry back to the inn.”
He had many things to deal with. He had to explain ng Hang’s matter to the people within three days.
After returning to the inn and settling Ning Yue down, Jiang Ying rushed to the governnt office without stopping to use it to hear ng Hang’s case.
He listed out ng Hang’s criminal evidence and planned to interrogate him at dawn the next day.
By the ti he was done with his preparations, it was already dawn. The crown prince’s urgent ssage had arrived. The letter said that Jiang Ying was allowed to handle it fully.
After reading the crown prince’s letter, Ning Yue also ca to the governnt office.
Her heart ached when she saw the dark circles under Jiang Ying’s eyes.
“Have so water.” Ning Yue took out a bamboo tube filled with water.
The bamboo tube was filled with ancient well water. Jiang Ying could drink it to eliminate fatigue.
She did not know if ng Hang’s case could be completed in a day. If not, Jiang Ying might have to stay up late.
Jiang Ying didn’t ask anything. He took the bamboo tube from Ning Yue and took a big sip.
A refreshing feeling rushed to his head. Jiang Ying’s fatigue was completely dispelled. “Yueyue, thank you.”
“Do we still need to thank each other?” Ning Yue said with a smile.
“I’ll go and interrogate ng Hang later. Wait for in the inner hall,” Jiang Ying said.
Ning Yue was neither the main investigator nor an official of this case. She was not suitable to appear in court.
The inner hall was only a wall away from the court. She could hear the proceedings from inside.
“Alright, don’t be too anxious. The cris he committed won’t be cleared in a day or two,” Ning Yue said.
Jiang Ying nodded. He packed what he needed and went to court.
