Chapter 119 Jiang Ningwan was named General Lingwei
At this time, the emperor said, "Jiang Ningwan's performance on the battlefield this time truly surprised me. He is both brave and resourceful. The Ling family has a successor. Therefore, I will appoint you as General Ling Wei, with the same salary as Jiang Zhouye."
Jiang Ningwan immediately accepted the order and expressed gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The second female general of Daning Kingdom!
Lu Qingheng's fingernails had pinched his palms red.
Jiang Ningwan succeeded in the end, and she became a general!
Why Jiang Ningwan!
Her official position was earned by her father and brother's deaths in battle. Why should Jiang Ningwan get the position of general just by doing this one meritorious service?
Lu Qingheng was filled with resentment.
The case was settled and everyone left the palace one after another.
Both Lu Lingsong and Lu Qingheng were in low spirits and walked with heavy steps.
Jiang Ningwan didn't forget to remind Lu Qingheng, "If General Lu is free, please leave for Huaifeng tomorrow. There are still many victims waiting for your apology."
Lu Qingheng clenched his palms, his eyes filled with resentment.
Left without saying a word.
Looking at the backs of the two siblings leaving, Jiang Zhouye was still unwilling to give up, "What a pity, they only paid such a small price."
Yan Yue's face was pale, his eyes dim as he said, "The Emperor is considerate of their fathers and brothers who died in battle, and since they won this battle, he won't punish them too harshly."
But when he thought of the brothers from the fourth battalion who died in vain, he felt like a huge stone was pressing on his heart.
Jiang Ningwan could see that the emperor was intentionally favoring the Lu brothers and sisters.
The successive victories made the emperor more and more ambitious, and he wanted to fight more battles. It was the time when the emperor needed military generals.
As long as the Lu brothers and sisters are still valuable, the emperor will not really deal with them.
After leaving the palace, Jiang Bingde, who had been silent all the way, suddenly walked up to Jiang Ningwan and said, "I didn't expect that you would have made such a great contribution in the Southern Expedition."
"There's a banquet in the mansion tonight to celebrate for you. Come home and eat."
Jiang Ningwan said expressionlessly, "I have something else to do at the Prince Chu's Mansion. I'm busy."
The issue of the Ling family's ancestral home title deed is a matter of debate.
"Then tomorrow..."
"I have to go to Huaifeng tomorrow, so I won't be free later."
After Jiang Ningwan finished speaking, she pushed Qin Shuangchi into the carriage indifferently.
He ignored Jiang Bingde.
Jiang Bingde stood there watching the carriage go away and couldn't help but sigh. He was afraid that she would be resentful about the land deed for a long time.
……
Prince Chu's Mansion.
Low sobs were heard in the room.
Yu Jingxiu had been crying for half an hour after learning the result today. Jiang Ningwan could only accompany her quietly, unable to say any words of comfort.
She didn't stop crying until she had no more strength left.
Jiang Ningwan placed the food in front of her and said, "Eat something. We will leave for Huaifeng tomorrow."
"I'm sorry. I tried my best."
Yu Jingxiu wiped her tears and said, "You have helped me enough. You don't have to say sorry. I am just sad. The lives of ordinary people are so cheap."
"A confession covered up all of Lu Qingheng's crimes."
"I hate this world!"
Jiang Ningwan's eyes were red, fearing that she would become depressed and commit suicide.
"Justice lies in the heart of the people!"
"Lu Qingheng will go to Huaifeng to apologize. At least the injustice you suffered back then will be known to the world. In this world, if you want your words to carry more weight, you must work hard to climb up and reach a position of respect."
"As long as you live well and let the world see it, they will never forget what Lu Qingheng did."
Yu Jingxiu's eyes welled with tears. "It's so hard to live well."
She carries so much hatred and lives on her shoulders that every time she closes her eyes she has nightmares, and every day of her life is a torture for her.
"You've survived such a difficult life in the village. There's nothing in this world you can't overcome!"
"You have to stay alive for Yang Wanning and the others!"
Hearing this, Yu Jingxiu finally made up her mind, "I will try my best to live."
"Live for them."
……
Early the next morning.
The group set out for Huaifeng. Lu Qingheng was unwilling to go with them and rode to Huaifeng alone.
Qin Beihuang accompanied her along the way and comforted her, "Qingheng, it's okay. This is not your fault. The people of Huaifeng will not blame you."
Lu Qingheng nodded, but she was still uneasy. She didn't know what she would face if she went to Huaifeng.
She only knew that Jiang Ningwan would not let her go.
Jiang Ningwan really didn't intend to let Lu Qingheng go easily, and Jiang Zhouye had already rushed to Huaifeng before them.
When they arrived in Huaifeng, the city was already abuzz with discussion.
There are countless notices posted on the streets, each word describing the experiences of that year with heartbreaking emotion. Looking around, there is only one word on the streets: injustice.
As soon as Lu Qingheng entered the city, he was surrounded by the gazes of passers-by.
"General Lu actually came. Does that mean everything written on the paper is true?"
"Didn't Yu Jingxiu go to the capital to file a complaint? Looks like the result is out."
“Most of what happened back then is true.”
She was talked about all the way to the government office.
County Magistrate Xue had also received the news long ago and came to the government gate to greet him.
Not long after, Jiang Ningwan also came with Yu Jingxiu.
Lu Qingheng stood in front of the government office and bowed to Yu Jingxiu, "I'm sorry for what happened back then!"
Jiang Ningwan immediately interrupted: "General Lu, there are more people in Huaifeng than just her. Why don't you wait until all the people in the city arrive?"
"You!" Lu Qingheng clenched his palms tightly.
Qin Beihuang said sternly, "Jiang Ningwan, just apologize. Don't go too far."
"What's excessive? Can it be compared to General Lu sending the city girls to the enemy?"
Jiang Ningwan's voice was loud, and the crowd was excited as soon as she spoke.
More and more people gathered.
Jiang Zhouye has already made a big announcement and gathered all the people in the city.
Yang Wanning's aunt also arrived and rushed in excitedly, "General Lu! Did you send Yang Wanning to the enemy?"
"Tell me, is this true?"
Lu Qingheng was silent, she couldn't say anything.
Seeing the people who used to respect and admire her now looking at her with resentment in their eyes, she found it a little too much to bear.
"Yes! But that was not my order. Li Han did it on his own!" Lu Qingheng explained urgently.
Aunt Yang collapsed instantly. "We trusted you so much, we even built a statue for you, but it turns out it was all fake!"
"My Wan Ning was killed by you! The whole family of three was killed by you!"
"Murderer! Liar!" Aunt Yang rushed forward excitedly.
Qin Beihuang's face changed and he immediately stepped forward to stop Aunt Yang and protect Lu Qingheng.
"So Mr. Yu's family was also murdered in this way! This liar! He cheated everyone in Huaifeng!"
"Despicable!"
The crowd cursed louder and louder.
Seeing that the people were very excited, County Magistrate Xue was afraid that something might happen, so he immediately arranged for people to defend the city.
Stopped the approaching crowd.
However, it could not stop the anger of the people, and vegetable leaves were thrown at them from the crowd.
"Liar! Shameless!"
"You killed so many of our Huaifeng people, and you still have the nerve to ask us to erect a statue of you!"
"Why do not you go to hell!"
"Pay your life! Pay with your life!"
