Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 16 Do you want to incite chaos in the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Lu Zhiyan knelt on the ground, his face turning pale and then flushed, a truly fascinating sight.

He married Su Yunjin when he lost his memory in Sujia Village.

At that time, he did not know that he already had a wife.

Even after his memory returned, this matter still gave him a real headache.

Whether it's the daughter of the prime minister or Su Yunjin, this village girl, Lu Zhiyan can't let go of either.

Helpless, he could only take Su Yunjin back to the capital first.

Let's take it one step at a time!

Fortunately, Su Yunjin also had her pride and was unwilling to move into the general's mansion with an unclear identity.

He then found himself a place to stay in the capital and continued his business.

Lu Zhiyan, like an ostrich, pretended that this mess didn't exist.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Wei exposed him in public today, leaving him utterly humiliated!

Zhou Wei sneered, "General Lu, you have quite the nerve!"

"A marriage bestowed by the Emperor is a great favor, yet you dare to turn around and marry another? Such behavior is nothing short of deceiving the Emperor!"

As Zhou Wei spoke, she paced back and forth among the kneeling soldiers.

"And you lot, are you obeying His Majesty the current ruler, or the words of Lu Zhishen?"

"The mobilization of troops by the Five Cities Garrison requires a military order! I ask you, what reason did Lu Zhiyan use to mobilize troops today?"

Qiu Ming, the military commander of the South City Garrison, was sweating profusely.

He could only reply truthfully, "This humble general, Qiu Ming, the garrison commander of the South City, was informed by General Lu that merchants at the Jinlou Restaurant in the south of the city reported that someone was causing trouble here..."

Zhou Wei looked at Qiu Ming, whose name had only appeared once or twice in the book.

The most famous instance was when he secretly opened the south gate of the city and let Princess Jiang Yueli, who was like a stray dog, escape.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yueli was still caught up by the lucky heroines, who then dismembered her and ripped out her heart.

As a result, Qiu Ming was beheaded and his head displayed to the public by Lu Zhiyan!

“General Qiu, I know you. My eldest princess told me that your Qiu family has been loyal and virtuous for generations, and your ancestors even had the merit of supporting the emperor.”

Qiu Ming lowered his head, his emotions churning.

He never expected that the eldest princess would remember the Qiu family!

The Qiu family had indeed served in the military for generations, but by his generation, they had long since declined.

Otherwise, he wouldn't just be a garrison commander in the small Southern City Division.

"Your Highness's kindness is truly undeserved, I am deeply ashamed."

Zhou Wei waved her hand, interrupting the polite conversation.

“General Qiu, I, Zhou Wei, believe that the reasons Lu Zhiyan used to mobilize troops are highly problematic.”

"His relationship with Su Yunjin, the owner of this Golden Pavilion, is ambiguous. He led troops to help her, which was actually a case of using public office for private gain."

"Furthermore, Ziyu and I were ordered by the princess to go out of the palace to make purchases, so how can you say we caused trouble?"

"But this Mr. Su has repeatedly spoken rudely to the princess and discussed royal matters."

"General Qiu, do I need to tell you who should be arrested and sent to the Prefect of the Capital?"

Seeing Zhou Wei turn her attention to her, Su Yunjin's anger surged!

Unable to hold back any longer, he began to berate Zhou Wei.

"You vile servant! How dare you distort the truth?"

"You clearly forced me to buy something from you in my store, and then you extorted money from me..."

Boom!

Before Su Yunjin could finish speaking, she received two solid slaps across the face.

You really shouldn't tell me!

Since the Tathagata Palm technique was invented, fighting people has become incredibly satisfying.

If you want to, you can slap the other person's face accurately from any angle.

"You wretched servant, you dare hit me?"

"Noisy!"

"I am now holding a golden token that is as if I were personally present, and I am speaking with the military generals. Who do you think you are to interrupt me?"

Su Yunjin covered her face, trembling all over.

Unable to hold back her emotions any longer, she frantically pulled at Lu Zhiyan.

"Lu Zhiyan! This bitch dared to hit me! Say something!"

"What are you still kneeling for? Don't you have any self-respect?"

Lu Zhiyan knelt on the ground, unable to move.

Although he wasn't kneeling before Zhou Wei, the golden plaque in Zhou Wei's hand, which seemed to signify the emperor's presence, was genuine.

There were also dozens of soldiers from the Five Cities Garrison watching over them.

Unless he wants to rebel, he cannot stand up unless Zhou Wei gives the order.

In his moment of utter humiliation, Su Yunjin was there, wailing and crying.

Lu Zhiyan felt that he was on the verge of exploding!

"Enough! Can you shut up?"

Lu Zhiyan's roar stunned Su Yunjin, who was still going crazy.

She looked at Lu Zhiyan with disbelief.

"Lu Zhiyan, how dare you yell at me?"

Zhou Wei rolled her eyes.

Su Yunjin's focus is truly bizarre.

What's going on here? She's still concerned about the man yelling at her?

But for Su Yunjin, Lu Zhiyan yelling at her was a huge deal.

She clutched Lu Zhiyan's sleeve, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Lu Zhiyan, have you forgotten who took you home after you were seriously injured and cared for you so tenderly?"

"And who is it that, despite the gossip of the villagers, insists on marrying you, a person of unknown origin and penniless?"

"Who is it that, when there's only a bowl of porridge left, would rather go hungry for two days than not give you food?"

"Lu Zhiyan, have you forgotten everything?"

Su Yunjin's accusations calmed Lu Zhiyan's volatile emotions.

He looked at Su Yunjin with a sense of guilt and heartache.

If it weren't for Su Yunjin, this great general would probably have died in the wilderness long ago.

How could I ever return to the capital and become a general again?

Lu Zhiyan apologized to Su Yunjin in a gentle voice: "Su Su, don't cry, it's my fault."

With tears streaming down her face, Su Yunjin threw herself into Lu Zhiyan's arms.

The two of them began to caress each other tenderly, oblivious to everyone else around them!

Upon seeing this, Qiu Ming's face showed surprise.

Is this still the General Lu Zhiyan he knows?

Not only was he easily manipulated by a woman, but he also acted inappropriately in different situations.

Now that tensions are high, is this the time for romance?

Qiu Ming couldn't help but look at Zhou Wei, only to find that Zhou Wei was watching the two embracing each other with great interest.

"Manager Zhou...this..."

Zhou Wei chuckled at Qiu Ming: "General Qiu, you've seen it too, Lu Zhiyan and Su Yunjin have an extraordinary relationship."

"Whether she is a concubine or the principal wife, I cannot say for sure. This matter needs to be decided by Prime Minister Ning."

"However, this one point alone is enough to confirm that Lu Zhiyan abused his public office for personal gain, isn't it?"

Qiu Ming's expression hardened, and he became serious.

Although it's common for soldiers to bring their troops to help acquaintances, it's still a common practice.

But today is unlucky; Su Yunjin has offended the Princess's residence!

This matter is unlikely to end well.

"Manager Zhou, I hope you can give me your instructions." Qiu Ming clasped his hands in a fist and bow to Zhou Wei.

Zhou Wei pointed at Su Yunjin: "This woman is dissident to the Princess. General Qiu, take her down and hand her over to the Prefect of the Capital."

"According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the judgment shall be made accordingly!"

"As for General Lu's words..."

As Zhou Wei spoke, she waved the gold medal in her hand.

"The eldest princess is granted the title of Protector of the Nation, and His Majesty has specially permitted her to offer advice on state affairs."

"Upon returning, I will certainly report this matter to the Princess. General Lu, just wait for the impeachment memorial from the Princess's residence!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiyan stood up angrily.

Holding the sobbing Su Yunjin in his arms, he glared at Zhou Wei.

“Zhou Wei! Although the Princess can offer advice on state affairs, she has never actually done so.”

"Women have never been allowed to participate in politics since ancient times! After His Majesty made an exception, all the civil and military officials opposed it."

"Do you intend to single-handedly incite conflict in the court and ignite chaos in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
