people around me?

An Leiting's eyes rolled, and he immediately said, "The deputy commander beside Jingzhong is named Zhang Mingxin. I think he is not very reliable and has bad behavior. I think he must be greedy and he is willing to collude with businessmen for money and disregard the lives of soldiers in the army."

"Although Jingzhong had nothing to do with this incident, he failed to judge people and failed to supervise them properly. I ask for thirty military sticks, exemption from one year's military pay, and donation of two hundred taels of silver to comfort the soldiers and their families who suffered as a result."

"But father..." An Jingzhong opened his mouth to argue.

Even if this matter is related to the Wen family, just push some people out. Why must Zhang Mingxin be pushed out?

Even if Zhang Mingxin was pushed out, why should he be punished with a military stick and his salary be deducted?
How can he lead his troops to fight as a military commander after making such a disgrace in the military camp?
An Leiting knew his son very well and knew what he wanted to say. He kicked him and said, "Shut up!"

"But father..." An Jingzhong still didn't give up.

"Get out!" An Leiting was furious.

An Jingzhong gritted his teeth, stood up and walked out.

Zhuo Dingsheng on the side hurriedly followed and even winked at An Leiting.

The commander of the wing wants to deal with Zhang Mingxin. Given An Jingzhong's temper, he might say something too much, so it is necessary to calm An Jingzhong down first.

An Leiting understood and nodded slightly.

After Zhuo Dingsheng left, Xiao Luoan warmly picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for An Leiting. "The commander of the An army is young and full of vigor, and he was deceived by others, so it is inevitable that this will happen. The commander of the wing should not be too angry."

"To be honest with you, Commander, I was very nervous all the way here. I was always worried about what kind of person you are and whether we could have a good conversation. Now it seems that you are a man of broad vision and resourcefulness. You are the best in the world and I admire you."

Xiao Luoan's blatant flattery softened An Leiting's expression, and he even smiled.

One of them is that the flattery sounds nice.

Secondly, these flatteries came from the prince’s mouth.

In this world, how many people can be complimented like this by the prince?
An Leiting was very proud in his heart, but he sighed, "My son is so rude, I am sorry to make the Third Prince laugh at me."

"A good father will always have a good son. Commander An is just young and energetic. After a few years of experience, he will be as capable as Commander Xiang."

Xiao Luoan smiled and changed the subject, "The commander of the wing handled the situation properly this time and took the initiative. I think if the Wen family wants to talk too much in front of the emperor, they will end up shooting themselves in the foot."

"Indeed." An Leiting also nodded slightly, then narrowed his eyes, "The Third Prince has been traveling a long way, and it's getting late tonight, so why don't you take a rest first? I will hold a banquet to welcome the Third Prince tomorrow."

"That's fine. The Commander-in-Chief still has a lot of things to do right now. It won't be too late to finish them." Xiao Luoan said, "Also, I had a very bumpy journey this time, and I also got seriously ill. I need to stay at the Commander-in-Chief's place to recuperate for a few days."

"The Third Prince, just stay here and rest assured." An Leiting smiled and remained secretive. He ordered someone to immediately clean up a room for Xiao Luoan and take him there to rest.

After Xiao Luoan left, An Leiting put away his smile, looked serious, and called people over.

"Pass on my order. Deputy Army Commander Zhang Mingxin colluded with the herbal medicine merchants to sell inferior products as good ones, enrich himself, and disregard the lives of the soldiers. He will be immediately dismissed from his post as Deputy Army Commander, imprisoned and guarded, and his head will be displayed to the public soon to appease the public anger."

"Order to arrest the merchant Xue Guanshi and send him to the government office in Changzhou Prefecture. Order Magistrate Zhang to torture him severely and make sure to find out who is behind this."

As for An Jingzhong's request for punishment, this matter must be dealt with on the day when Zhang Mingxin is dealt with. It would be most appropriate for him to personally ask for punishment in front of everyone.

But with An Jingzhong's personality...

"An Jingzhong is under house arrest from now on. He is not allowed to leave the tent without the order of this commander!" "Yes!" The subordinate took the order and left.

The first step is to arrest Zhang Mingxin.

According to An Leiting's instructions, the people who went to capture the prisoners were led by Zhuo Dingsheng with great momentum.

At this time, Zhang Mingxin was worried because An Jingzhong was called away by An Leiting and had not returned yet.

After waiting for a long time, Zhuo Dingsheng and his men came, and they were all furious. Zhang Mingxin's heart finally died.

Sure enough, he was the scapegoat who was pushed out.

What Lu Qiyan said was indeed true.

Zhang Mingxin looked ashen, then suddenly he grinned.

Even when he was tied up and taken away, he was still laughing wildly and arrogantly, with a hint of deep sadness in his eyes.

Such deliberate laughter, echoing throughout the entire military camp, seemed extremely strange.

A dark shadow paused after hearing the laughter, hesitated for a moment, and then quietly slipped under a tung tree, digging the soil vigorously with the knife in his hand.

The next day, An Leiting ordered his men to beat the war drums and summon all the soldiers in the army except those on duty to go to the reviewing platform.

Below the stage, commanders at all levels, captains, team leaders and all the soldiers stood straight, their eyes all looking at the stage with anticipation on their faces.

I heard last night that the culprit for the theft of military medicinal materials had been captured in the military camp. Today I must see what kind of punishment this dirty-hearted guy will get.

On the stage were Zhang Mingxin, who was tied up and kneeling on the ground like a dumpling, and An Jingzhong, who had an ugly and solemn expression on his face.

An Leiting stood between the two men with a solemn expression. After clearing his throat, he spoke loudly, "My fellow soldiers, I am An Leiting, the commander of the wing. I have summoned you here today to deal with the recent fraud in the supply of military medicines."

"After this commander sent people to conduct a thorough investigation, the case was finally solved!"

"Zhang Mingxin, deputy commander of the Flying Eagle Army, colluded with Xue Yi, a merchant who sold military medicine. The two of them worked together from the inside and outside to pass off inferior medicine as good ones, concealing the truth and enriching themselves. They are unforgivable!"

"Now that Zhang Mingxin has confessed his guilt, I will now seek justice for the soldiers who were poisoned by fake medicinal materials and ointments. I, An Leiting, will execute Zhang Mingxin on the spot today. I will drag his body to the mountains to feed the wolves, and hang his head outside the military camp for thirty days as a warning to others!"

As soon as An Leiting finished speaking, the soldiers below burst into thunderous applause.

Then, someone raised his arms and shouted, "Kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Immediately, someone followed suit and raised their arms as well.

All of a sudden, all the soldiers below shouted rhythmically, "Kill, kill, kill!"

Such a scum with a vicious mind, who is only interested in money and doesn't care about the life and death of his brothers, deserves to be killed!

To be precise, simply beheading the person as a warning to others is not enough!
We must severely injure Zhang Mingxin, put all those plasters that can kill people on his body, boil medicine for him with those moldy and spoiled herbs, and let him experience the feeling of getting sicker the more he is treated! (End of this chapter)
