Song Ruize was not surprised to hear such news.

Tang Yichen had never been a soft-hearted person, especially since Tang Lvwu and Qin Huiyin were both there when that incident happened. Lin Zhang could have touched anyone else, but he had touched his weak spot, and he was lucky to be alive.

"Brother Ze, that Lin guy has become like this, should we still deal with him?" Jiang Qibin asked, "He can mess with anyone else, but he messed with our sister Huiyin, so we have to deal with him, right?"

"He's become like this, there's no need to dirty our hands anymore, right?" Zhou Jinyuan looked at Song Ruize.

Several good brothers looked at Song Ruize.

Song Ruize said calmly, "He's suffering more than death right now. We don't need to do anything. However, his mouth stinks. Since he can't speak, he should never speak again."

Several people showed sympathetic expressions.

Why did that guy surnamed Lin choose to target Huiyin when there are so many people he could mess with?

"Commander Song, it's bad. Our people are fighting with the people from the West City Military Headquarters." A subordinate ran in to report.

"Where is it?" Chen Yong asked, "Take me there."

Chen Yong took people to deal with it. Jiang Qingnan was a little worried, so he told Song Ruize and took Zhou Jinyuan to check the situation.

Jiang Qibin stayed on duty beside Song Ruize.

"Brother Ze, yesterday I checked the accounts of our snack shop, escort agency, and other aspects. We made a profit last month..."

"Commander, this is bad! Deputy Commander Chen severely injured Commander Xicheng and has been arrested."

Song Ruize and Jiang Qibin rushed to the scene. By the time they arrived, Chen Yong had already been arrested by officials from the Ministry of Justice and taken to the yamen. The scene was covered in blood and a mess.

"What happened just now?" Jiang Qibin asked the subordinate next to him.

The subordinate said, "The people from the West City Military Commission were deliberately provoking trouble. We endured it again and again, but finally, we couldn't stand it anymore and fought back. We have a long-standing feud with the West City side, and everyone was pent up with anger. Once it erupted, it was out of control, and more and more people joined in the fight. Deputy Commander Chen is as strong as an ox. His appearance made the West City Military Commission no match for us. But that West City Commander Yang Xing actually had two of his highly skilled followers beat our people to death. Seeing the chaos, Deputy Commander Chen wanted to capture the thief first, but he accidentally broke his head and caused a lot of blood to flow."

"Brother Ze, this isn't Chen Yong's fault," Jiang Qingnan said from the side. "When I arrived, the situation was already out of control. No matter how Chen Yong tried to stop it, it was useless. I asked Yang Xing to intervene, but he started humiliating Brother Ze. You know Chen Yong's temper; he's never had a good temper. He's become a bit calmer these days thanks to your control, but he still can't stand being provoked!"

"I know." Song Ruize said, "Send someone to inquire about Yang Xing's situation."

"There's a big hole in Yang Xing's head, and blood is pouring out. If she doesn't survive, Chen Yong's life will be in jeopardy too," Jiang Qingnan said. "If we want to save Chen Yong now, we have to keep Yang Xing alive."

"I don't think this is that simple," Zhou Jinyuan said. "South City and West City have been fighting constantly lately. Logically, West City shouldn't have the energy to cause trouble for us. We've finally had some peace and quiet lately, but today West City is trying to cause trouble for us. No matter how I look at it, it seems like someone is deliberately trying to bring trouble to our side. I suspect someone is using a knife to kill someone else."

"If we can kill someone with someone else's knife, then of course others can too. South City and West City have been fighting each other lately. Anyone with a bit of common sense would realize that someone is instigating this, and maybe they'd figure out it was us." Jiang Qingnan said, "I heard that the South City Military Command has a new deputy commander. He was born a slave, but he's become a capable flatterer and has become a capable commander of the South City Military Command."

"Send someone to find out where that person came from, his style of doing things, and whether he had any hand in today's incident." Song Ruize said, "As for Chen Yong, let him go to the Ministry of Justice first. Once you go into a place like the Ministry of Justice, even the most unyielding person will be beaten to a pulp."

Qin Huiyin prepared a new fragrance and planned to let Tang Yichen try it, but she heard Tang Yichen and Zhang Zhen talking about something happening at Bingmasi.

She stood outside the study and listened for a while until there was no more talking inside, then she knocked on the door with the new incense.

Zhang Zhen opened the door, saluted Qin Huiyin, and walked past.

Tang Yichen is now able to handle official documents normally and will have to go on business tomorrow.

He saw her come in, not at all surprised, and said, "Did you hear that?"

"I heard it." Qin Huiyin lit the new incense, waved it in his direction, and asked, "This is a newly blended incense. What do you think of it?"

"At first it smells like agarwood, with a hint of forsythia, then it smells like tea... This should be a scent suitable for men, and it's the kind of scent that scholars like." Tang Yichen said, "I like it."

"Let Chen Yu fumigate you later." Qin Huiyin put down the remaining incense.

"You don't want to ask me about the Bingmasi?"

"I heard it." Qin Huiyin said, "I don't understand the affairs of the court, and I don't know how to deal with them. All I can do is accompany you."

"You haven't been to the Song residence these past few days because you've been accompanying your elder brother. It looks like you're planning to go there to keep him company." Tang Yichen said calmly, "Yinyin, you're old enough to get married. I'll help you keep an eye out for the type of person you like."

"Brother, I don't want to get married so early. If I get married one day, I will definitely marry someone I love. I don't like to evaluate future marriages, so don't worry about me." Qin Huiyin said, "I'm still young now. I just want to pursue my career and have no interest in men."

Tang Yichen: “…”

He knew that his sister had always been opinionated, but he didn't expect that she would be so opinionated even about marriage.

"What do you think of Meng Shushen? He has a noble character and is a sixth-rank official at such a young age. He should have no problem rising higher in the future. Those aristocratic families have many rules. Although they have the blessings of their ancestors, they are not free. I can't bear to see you suffer like that. However, if you want to marry into such a family, I can help you arrange it."

Qin Huiyin pinched a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth: "Are you planning to get married in the future in the same way?"

"I don't have such an idea yet."

"I don't have any either." Qin Huiyin said, "I can earn money to support myself. Even if I can't find the right person in this life, what's wrong with being a self-combed woman?"

"You are so smart and beautiful, and you have all the men in the capital to choose from, yet you actually want to be a self-combed woman." Whenever Tang Yichen thought he knew Qin Huiyin well enough, she would always say something that shocked him. He always felt that he didn't know her well enough and really wanted to knock her head open to see what was inside.
