A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

198 Private Soldier

The three of them lowered their heads in fear. When they heard Jiang Ying’s words, they did not dare to say anything else.

They knew very well that after the case was closed, Meng Hang’s crimes would definitely be made public. Therefore, before that, they had to endure it.

After a round of coercion and temptation, the three of them finally stopped gossiping.

According to Meng Hang’s evidence, Jiang Ying had arrested several people. These people were all officials who were close to Meng Hang.

!!

When they were caught by Jiang Ying, they cried and cried for justice, but when the evidence was thrown in their faces. They were all shocked.

Their dealings with Meng Hang were all very secretive. How did Jiang Ying know?

It had to be known that when Meng Hang was investigated by the current emperor, the evidence of his crimes had never been found.

After being arrested once or twice, he swaggered out in a few days and returned to continue being an official.

Therefore, when they heard that Meng Hang was in prison this time, they were not worried. They all thought that Meng Hang would come out in a while and return to continue being his Governor.

But now, not only had Jiang Ying dug out the evidence, but he had also arrested them.

Under Jiang Ying’s iron-blooded methods, this group of officials was imprisoned.

Jiang Ying ordered his men to speed up. Meng Hang’s evidence was sent to the crown prince in the capital.

Seeing the guilty Crown Prince, he was shocked. He did not dare to delay and immediately found the emperor to tell him about Meng Hang.

The emperor vomited blood in anger and fainted on the spot.

He knew that there was something wrong with Meng Hang, but he had never thought that Meng Hang’s problem would be so big.

He had actually colluded with many officials of the Imperial Court to rebel. Initially, he had worked for the two princes, but now that the two princes had fallen, he planned to establish himself as a king.

Meng Hang still had private soldiers, numbering as many as 100,000!

This was a threat to the emperor and the entire Great Yun Nation!

When the emperor woke up, he immediately issued an imperial edict to kill Meng Hang’s family!

The officials who interacted with Meng Hang were all exiled from the three clans.

Of course, this imperial edict had been issued secretly. The emperor knew very well that Meng Hang must be very cautious to be able to do this today.

Perhaps he still had a backup plan. If this imperial edict continued like this, it would force him to rebel.

It was true that he had been captured, but he had personally trained those generals. He must have expected the outcome today and must have had a plan to deal with it.

He could only give the greatest power to Jiang Ying and let him do it easily.

After receiving the emperor’s secret imperial edict, Jiang Ying immediately sent someone to investigate Meng Hang’s private army.

100,000 troops was not a small number. If Meng Hang wanted to train these troops, he would definitely find a very big place. As long as he found somewhere suitable, it would be fixed.

Soon, the guard found three places. After some thought, Jiang Ying confirmed that there was a high possibility of one place.

“Jiang Ying, do you want to go by yourself?” Ning Yue asked.

Jiang Ying nodded and said, “I have to go personally, because only I can talk to these 100,000 troops.”

What he did not tell Ning Yue was that in addition to the secret imperial edict, the emperor had also sent an oral order.

The emperor wanted Jiang Ying to take in Meng Hang’s private soldiers. After taking in the private soldiers, he asked them to guard Prince Jin’s fief.

It was equivalent to the emperor sending more troops to Prince Jin. Now, Prince Jin already had 500,000 troops. Coupled with Meng Hang’s 100,000 troops, he had 600,000 troops.

Jiang Ying knew very well that the emperor was planning to conquer other countries to expand his territory.

Before the crown prince ascended the throne, the emperor wanted to fight these battles.

Perhaps war would break out.

Jiang Ying had also thought that when the war started, the people would have a hard time. If possible, how good would it be without war?

However, now, the Black City Kingdom was eyeing them covetously. They had excellent weapons. If they did not make any preparations, the people would suffer even more in the future.

Therefore, war was imperative.

He could settle the people at the border before that, so he was anxious to do business with Ning Yue. Only with capital could he better settle the people.

Jiang Ying took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He said to Ning Yue, “Stay at home. I’ll be back soon.”

Ning Yue wanted to stop Jiang Ying from going over, but now it seemed that he had his own considerations, so she did not stop him.

But don’t even think about leaving her behind and going over alone.

“Jiang Ying, if you’ve really thought it through, bring me along. Otherwise, don’t even think about going anywhere.”

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Jiang Ying’s expression darkened.
