Bai Cha thought for a moment before he finally replied, “There is no way to seal the establishment. First of all, the owner of this brothel is the Gong Prince. It’s obvious he did this on purpose.”

As for whether it was his way to make money or a place for disgusting people to gather, it remained to be evaluated.

“Call Shopkeeper Zhu, Zhang Zhao, and the others for a meeting”

“Yes.”

Heng Yi quickly finished the soup.

This mutton soup was mixed with pepper and chili. It was spicy and numbing, but it tasted good.

The most important thing was that it helped keep your body warm.

Every soldier could only get their fill every five days. There was no way to keep providing these for everybody every day. After all, they only have a few sheep in town.

And when they went out for a run, they only wore a thin shirt and pants. When they came back, they still had another set of exercises to complete.

Heng Yi had already started training them to withstand the cold.

Even if they couldn’t get mutton soup right away, they could eat pork bone soup with pepper and chili.

It didn’t take long for Shopkeeper Zhu and the others to arrive. All of them were still trying to warm themselves.

“Marquis,”

Qin Song entered last.

These days, Heng Yi did not deliberately make things difficult for him, but he didn’t assign him to do things that could easily make him a hero.

Qin Song thought it was because his family tried to send a concubine to him, but something in the back of his mind made him think that it might not be entirely for that reason.

“Sit down.”

Heng Yi said before they began discussing the Gong Prince’s brothel in Sanzhou Town.

“What are your thoughts on this matter?” Heng Yi asked.

He waited, but there were explanations.

Heng Yi observed them and knew that these people were conservative.

Or rather, none of them dare to offend the Gong Prince.

He waved his hand, “You may leave,”

Heng Yi returned home early for the first time that day.

Han Qiao and a few children were having afternoon snacks. She personally took the children to bake biscuits, and boiled milk, and the beggar’s chicken they made tasted even more delicious.

Since there were no lotus leaves, they used banana leaves instead.

“Father!” Ah-Yao’s mouth and hands were covered with oil.

He looked at Heng Yi with joy in his eyes.

“Father! Eat!” He handed the meat to Heng Yi.

Heng Yi didn’t mind the oil and carried him up.

Ah-Yao immediately fed him.

Then the young boy looked expectantly at him, waiting for his final evaluation.

“Mmm, not bad. It tastes great.” Heng Yi praised.

Ah-Yao was instantly overjoyed.

He struggled to get off the ground and pulled Heng Yi to sit on a chair.

Ah-Yao fed him chicken, then the biscuits, then slowly handed Heng Yi a small cup of milk with his trembling hands.

It took some effort for them to get this cow.

However, with the power they have, and if Heng Yi had any requests, there would be plenty of people who could help him deal with them.

“Is it good?” Ah-Yao asked.

Heng Yi nodded.

Ah-Yao continued to feed Heng Yi.

Heng Yi never refuses any of the food. He didn’t care if Ah-Yao licked his fingers before feeding him more food.

Han Qiao couldn’t stand eating from his tiny dirty hands.

Ah-Yao only ate a little before, so he probably wasn’t feeling full.

But he was willing to feed it to his father first, which showed his filial piety.

And she found out that the biscuits that Ah-Yao fed Heng Yi were made by himself.

Han Qiao was slightly stunned before she pursed her lips and smiled.

It was no wonder that Heng Yi loved him so much.

Heng Yi had a big appetite, so the boy couldn’t eat as much as he wanted. The biscuits that Ah-Yao made by himself will soon be gone.

Ah-Yao looked at the plate, his mouth flattened into a thin line.

He wanted to cry.

He looked at his father, then at Han Qiao.

Han Qiao took one and fed it to him with a bitter smile. Ah-Yao instantly laughed.

This time he still fed Heng Yi, but he also ate some for himself.

Zeng Bao’er praised the small boy as he ate.

Han Qiao asked Zeng Bao’er to look after the little ones.

“Don’t worry, Madam! I will take good care of the Second and Third Young Master.”

Zeng Bao’er loved teasing Ah-Yao the most.

He liked to coax him to give him food.

But Ah-Yao did not fall for it all the time.

Zeng Bao’er still tried his best to succeed.

After Han Qiao and Heng Yi left, Zeng Bao’er immediately leaned forward,

“Third Young Master, your biscuits look delicious.”

Han Qiao and Heng Yi entered the small hall together, and she noticed the grave look on his face.

“Is it because of the Gong Prince’s brothel?”

HengYi nodded.

Han Qiao noticed that his brows were furrowed and his temples were bulging. She pulled him to sit on the chaise lounge.

HengYi perched on the soft cushion, afraid of flattening it with his weight.

Han Qiao rubbed his temples for him.

“Since he has opened it and we have no way to seal it, then we will have to solve it from the root.”

“I’m guessing he mainly wants to earn money from the soldiers, and since there are no military prostitutes in the barracks, this will be an opportunity for him.”

“The three major disciplines, the eight military rules, and the military orders, these are the powers the Emperor has granted to you.”

“The Emperor must know of the Gong Prince’s ambitions, otherwise the Emperor will not allow the Consort’s divorce and his son’s resignation from the throne. Even if the Gong Prince marries a girl from the Jun family again, and she gives birth to a legitimate son and raises him to be able to take over his throne, it will take more than ten years. Unbeknownst to him, he had lost…” “Not every son is as capable as Li Zhao.”

Han Qiao spoke softly, and her voice was gentle, yet powerful.

Heng Yi’s tense body slowly relaxed.

He slowly exhaled lightly.

Following Han Qiao’s lead, he lay down on the chaise lounge.

Han Qiao sat down on a stool and continued, “As long as you manage the soldiers in the barracks well and don’t give them the chance to spend their days drinking and playing in that disgusting place, I’ll find them a place to have fun.”

“What kind of fun?” Heng Yi asked.

“Let’s set up a stage and tell them more stories about protecting their country. It can stimulate their enthusiasm and passion to sacrifice their lives for the country.”

“The soldiers in the military camp are strictly prohibited from going to brothels. If there is an alternative, let them read and write if they have nothing to do. Let them practice martial arts to get a step closer to the official position in the next assessment.”

“There are many people with ambition.”

“Those who can’t control their crotch will be kicked out of the barracks and go back to where they came from.”

“You deal with a few to make an example out of them,”

After careful consideration, Heng Yi nodded.

An idea was already brewing in his mind.

“As for those rich lords, you can also spread the news that we don’t like people with bad character and low moral integrity. Let’s secretly find someone to open a more elegant teahouse and give them a new place to go.”

“Let’s nip the fire from the bud.”

These wealthy merchants, no matter how much they spent in other places when they came to Sanzhou Town, had to abide by the Marquis’ rules if they wanted to make money from Heng Yi.

“Write down your thoughts on this matter, and ask the Emperor for his opinion.”

No matter how close the Gong Prince’s power was to the Emperor, how could he compare to Emperor Zhao Qian?

Emperor Zhao Qian had given him so much power and convenience that Heng Yi could build up his army quickly. Whoever hindered him was not only Heng Yi’s enemy but also the Emperor’s enemy.

“Yes,” Heng Yi got up and immediately went to write a folded booklet.

Emperor Zhao Qian sent someone to deliver a gyrfalcon and people to take care of it.

With such important information, Heng Yi could use this method to send the booklet.

Heng Yi wrote everything to the point.

The gyrfalcon was much faster than the 8oo-mile express©.

By the fifteenth day, the folded booklet had already arrived in Emperor Zhao Qian’s hands.

Emperor Zhao Qian looked furious. He tore up the secret letter in his hand and slapped his hands against his throne.

“Despicable! Truly despicable!”

Defu hesitated. Should he tell the Emperor that the Marquis of Wanning had sent an emergency booklet?

It had been a few months since the gyrfalcon had been sent to HengYi, but this was the first time he had used it.

Emperor Zhao Qian saw red.

“Why are you sneaking around?”

Defu immediately knelt down, “Reporting to the Emperor. Marquis of Wanning sent a booklet with through the gyrfalcon.”

Emperor Zhao Qian narrowed his eyes.

Defu hurried forward and handed over the booklet.

Emperor Zhao Qian skimmed through the lines

After reading it, he kicked the table. “How dare he! How dare he!”

“That bastard! I spoiled him!”
