Chapter 201 - 201 Incorporation
201 Incorporation
Jiang Ying gestured to Ah Da. Ah Da found a basin of cold water and splashed it on the leader.
The leader was woken up by someone splashing him. He was trembling from the cold. When he finally calmed down, he saw a group of ferocious people surrounding him. The fear in his heart kept magnifying.
Seeing the leader open his mouth to call for help, Ah Da quickly stuffed a rag into his mouth.
“Pfft!” The leader tried desperately to spit out the rag in his mouth.
Ah Da did not give him a chance to spit it out. Just as the rag in the leader’s mouth was about to fall out, he stuffed it back in.
The leader gagged in despair and looked at Ah Da sadly.
“Don’t look at me like that. I thought you liked me.” Ah Da rolled his eyes.
The leader’s gaze was as if Ah Da had abandoned him.
Ning Yue almost laughed out loud, but since the occasion was more serious, she held back.
“I’ll ask and you’ll answer. If you dare to shout, I’ll kill you immediately.” With that, Jiang Ying made a throat-slitting gesture.
The leader nodded repeatedly. His life was important.
Ah Da pulled the cloth out of the leader’s mouth. He tried desperately to breathe in the fresh air. God knew the rag had almost suffocated him when it was shoved into his mouth.
“What’s your name? What’s your status in this private army?” Jiang Ying asked.
“My name is Meng Qin. I’m the commander-in-chief of this private army,” he said.
When he heard Jiang Ying mention the private army, he knew that it was over. This group of people had come prepared.
“Who is Meng Hang to you?” Jiang Ying asked again.
“He’s my brother,” Meng Qin said.
Meng Qin was very puzzled. These questions were not very confidential. He could find them as long as he got someone to investigate.
The group of people in front of him was dressed extraordinarily and spoke elegantly. Meng Qin was very curious about their identities and asked, “Can I ask who you are?”
“My name is Jiang Ying,” Jiang Ying said indifferently.
Meng Qin frowned. He instinctively felt that Jiang Ying’s name was very familiar. He searched his memories and finally remembered who Jiang Ying was.
His eyes widened in shock. The heir of Prince Jin had actually appeared here!
What did that mean?
Meng Hang was finished?
“Lord Heir, how… how’s my brother?” Meng Qin asked carefully.
“If I can find this place, what do you think your brother’s state is?” Jiang Ying asked.
Meng Qin was shocked and looked at Jiang Ying in disbelief. Something had really happened to Meng Hang! He swallowed.
It had been so many years, but the emperor had not discovered his brother’s problem. He had actually been discovered by the heir of Prince Jin. This man could not be underestimated!
“Why? You don’t believe me?” Jiang Ying asked.
Meng Qin was speechless. The feeling in his heart was indescribably strange.
“What do you want me to do?” Meng Qin asked.
“It’s very simple. I want to take you in,” Jiang Ying said.
Meng Qin closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After a long time, he exhaled and said to Jiang Ying, “What can you give us?”
Ning Yue looked at Meng Qin and felt a little complicated. At first, she felt that Meng Qin was an unreliable person.
However, from the looks of it, it didn’t seem to be the case. He asked Jiang Ying this question because he wanted to see how Jiang Ying would treat these 100,000 private soldiers.
In this era, after private soldiers were incorporated, they would be punished.
The Imperial Court prohibited the raising of private soldiers. If they were discovered, not only would the leader of the private soldiers be punished, but all the private soldiers would also be punished.
“It’s not that I want you. It’s my father, the current Prince Jin, who needs you,” Jiang Ying said.
Prince Jin? Meng Qin was stunned. He did not expect Jiang Ying to want them to be incorporated into the country.
Back then, these people had joined Meng Hang because they were at their wits’ end. They had done so to earn a living. Now that they could escape their status as private soldiers, they would definitely raise their hands and feet in agreement.
However, Meng Qin was still worried. “What can your father give us after we go over?”
“You have what ordinary soldiers have,” Jiang Ying replied calmly.
When he sent someone to investigate, he received some information. Some of these private soldiers were personally recruited by Meng Hang. Not only were the people he recruited capable, but their identities were also extraordinary.
For example, some of them were very good at making fakes. Even dogs couldn’t tell if they were real or fake when they made a piece of meat.
There were also people who were very good at doing business and were also wealthy businessmen.
However, he didn’t have a list of those people yet, so he could only incorporate everyone first. He would look for them later.
