Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 146

Being sent to be a military prostitute was a fate a hundred times worse than death or being in the Prince Cheng's mansion!

At least in Prince Cheng's mansion, she only had to face Prince Cheng, at least she had a chance to catch her breath, and at least she could occasionally slip out with some dignity.

On the northwestern border, there were tens of thousands of soldiers who were sent there as military prostitutes. These prostitutes were all death row inmates who were treated worse than animals. No one could live for more than a month, and each one died a more tragic death than the last.

Qin Shuangya struggled frantically, making muffled sounds through her gagged mouth, but it was all in vain.

The female prisoner next to her stared straight ahead, her eyes blank, not even glancing at her.

The convoy slowly set off westward.

......

Meanwhile, the Yongning Marquis's residence also received news that Mo Zhonggui had sent people to take Qin Shuangya away.

Qin Shuangya was, after all, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongning's family. Prince Cheng felt it necessary to inform the Marquis of Yongning's family to avoid them thinking that Prince Cheng's family had killed her.

Qin Shaoze was initially shocked. After all, Qin Shuangya was only having a bad time in the Prince Cheng's mansion and her life was not in danger, but if she fell into Mo Zhonggui's hands, she would be completely finished.

He went to see Mo Zhonggui to inquire, but did not see him; he only saw Ye Huaichi.

Ye Huaichi didn't hide anything and told him directly that the mastermind behind the kidnapping of the three children from the Yongning Marquis's mansion was Qin Shuangya, and that there was both witness testimony and physical evidence, and that Qin Shuangya had already been arrested.

Qin Shaoze was struck dumb, and stood there stunned for a long time.

He left dejectedly without even asking about Qin Shuangya's fate.

After returning to the Yongning Marquis's residence, he told Old Madam Qin, who immediately launched into a tirade.

"That rebellious daughter! She must hate us! She thinks it's all our fault for sending her to the Prince Cheng's mansion! Rui-ge'er is the only son of the Marquis's family, and she actually dared to kidnap him and demand a huge ransom from us. Has she gone mad? Wasn't becoming a concubine her own fault? How dare she do such an outrageous thing!"

Then, he said to Qin Shaoze, "Just ignore her. Anyway, Chief Supervisor Mo took her away, so there's nothing we can do about it! Just pretend I never had this wretched daughter!"

Qin Shaoze remained silent and did not answer.

He hadn't originally intended to get involved.

But after all, she was his only younger sister, and he didn't want to appear so cold-blooded and heartless.

Just then, a servant came in to report: "My lord, an imperial edict has arrived."

Qin Shaoze hurriedly went out to receive the imperial decree.

It turned out to be a letter of appointment, sending him to suppress bandits in the outskirts of Beijing!

The bandits who kidnapped the three children of the Marquis of Yongning's family came from that village. They lived under the emperor's nose and dared not openly commit robbery and plunder. They mainly engaged in petty theft and kidnapped the children of wealthy families in the capital to demand huge ransoms.

Qin Shaoze had dealt with those bandits before and had already reported it to the imperial court. He never expected that the emperor would actually order him to suppress the bandits!

This is a great job!

These bandits are usually just a bunch of weaklings, not particularly fierce. A battle-hardened general like him could easily wipe them out with a troop of elite soldiers, earning a modest but significant merit, all easily and securely, and also greatly improving his reputation in the capital.

Qin Shaoze was overjoyed and immediately put Qin Shuangya's matter out of his mind. The next day, he led his troops to suppress the bandits.

Just as Qin Shaoze had predicted, these bandits numbered only a little over a hundred, occupying a hilltop with no particularly strong defenses.

When the stronghold was breached, the bandit leader came out to fight. Qin Shaoze took the lead and was the first to rush over, wanting to kill the bandit leader and make the most important contribution.

However, just as he raised his spear and was about to engage in battle, he suddenly felt his whole body stiffen and become weak, his internal organs ache, and he couldn't catch his breath, so he fell off his horse!
