The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Chapter 345 Soldiers and Horses Division

Jiang Qibin dismissed the servants and made a gesture of invitation: "I'll take you to your room."

Qin Huiyin nodded and followed Jiang Qibin to the room Song Ruize had prepared for her.

Jiang Qibin only took him to the door and did not follow him in.

He pointed to the room across the street and said, "That's our boss's room."

Qin Huiyin smelled the fragrance as soon as she entered the door. She turned around and saw the incense burner on the table, which was burning with the fragrance of her favorite orchid.

The new bed is very elegant, and the pattern on it is also her favorite orchid. Every decoration here is her favorite, including...

The wardrobe was filled with new clothes, in every color, each one exquisite. There was also a cabinet filled with all sorts of embroidered shoes, and on the dressing table were boxes of jewelry. Opening the boxes revealed a vast array of jewelry, each one exquisite, made of gold, jade, and various precious stones. Ten days or half a month went by without a repeat.

Qin Huiyin came out and asked: "Have you informed my brother about my trip to Beijing?"

"Oh, I forgot." Jiang Qibin slapped his forehead, "I'll send someone to tell him now."

"No need." Qin Huiyin smiled, "I'll go find him."

"But the boss is on duty now. If you go to him now, you might not even be able to talk to him."

"It's okay, just let him see me." Qin Huiyin said with a smile, "But you have to wait a moment. I just arrived in Beijing and I'm exhausted. I want to clean up first."

Half an hour later, Qin Huiyin walked out of the room looking refreshed.

Jiang Qibin saw her wearing the new clothes Song Ruize had bought her, and the jewelry she used for her makeup and dressing was also bought by Song Ruize. She had changed her usual simplicity and looked extremely gorgeous in this outfit. Some people believed that she had grown up in the capital, after all, even the daughters of official families did not have such outstanding looks and unique temperament.

There were actually five military corps, collectively known as the Five City Military Corps. These Five City Military Corps were responsible for the east, south, west, north, and center regions. Their primary duties included patrolling for thieves, cleaning streets and drains, guarding prisoners, and enforcing fire regulations.

Therefore, although the positions in this department may seem low, it can deal with people from both the upper and lower classes, and is a very important department.

Song Ruize was in charge of the military command in East City. A fire had broken out in East City today, and he and his men were directing the firefighting and post-disaster relief efforts.

Song Ruize watched as the fire was finally under control.

Chen Yong brought his men and brought a tall, thin man over. He said to Song Ruize, "Boss, this guy set the fire on purpose."

Song Ruize looked at the man being held in custody coldly: "The reason."

"This shop originally belonged to my father. After he died, my second uncle took advantage of us, an orphan and a widow, and tricked my mother, an illiterate woman, into signing the transfer deed, taking the shop for himself. When I grew up and realized I'd been cheated, I went to my second uncle to ask for an explanation. He bluntly told me that my mother was stupid enough to fall for it, and now that the things were in his hands, there was no way he could give them back. In a fit of rage, I wanted to burn the shop down and leave him with nothing." The tall, thin man said unwillingly, "I knew I couldn't escape before I did this. Even if you kill me today, I won't regret it. My mother was sick, and I begged my second uncle to lend me some money, but he refused. If this shop hadn't been cheated, my mother wouldn't have died of illness."

"Idiot." Chen Yong kicked him. "We don't care what you do to your uncle. Put down this fire. There are so many shops and houses around here. Aren't they innocent? If we hadn't arrived in time, who knows how many people would have died."

"Send it to the Jingzhao government office." Song Ruize said calmly, "Tell the prosecutor there the truth about what happened here."

"Yes." Chen Yong took his men and took the man away.

Song Ruize turned around, and when he saw the bright girl standing not far away, his cold eyes changed as if they were penetrated by warm sunlight.

Qin Huiyin waved at him, her smile as bright and charming as the morning sun.

Song Ruize was about to come over, but several people stopped him and cried to him.

"Sir, our house has become like this. What should we do? We are all poor people. We can hardly afford to build a house like this. Sir, please help us."

"Sir, the military is only responsible for putting out fires. After that, they just walk away. What should we do?"

Song Ruize was stopped by the people, his brow furrowed. He looked up in the direction of Qin Huiyin, but saw that the place where he had just been was no longer occupied.

"Someone is coming..."

"Commander Song."

"Handle this matter for them according to the court's rules," Song Ruize said. "Make sure you make all the arrangements."

This fire was man-made, and the imperial court certainly wouldn't be responsible for covering the bill. Since it was man-made, the natural thing to do is to find the source of the disaster. Once the case is heard, if the owner truly seized my brother's shop, then whatever value remains will have to be used to compensate the affected people. Therefore, this case must be handed over to the military command.

After squeezing out of the crowd, Song Ruize did not see Qin Huiyin. He wondered if he was dazzled and felt disappointed, but someone patted him on the shoulder.

A familiar fragrance wafted into his nose.

It was precisely because of this aura that he didn't instinctively retaliate. If someone had hit him from behind, he would have been met with either a dagger or a grappling move.

He turned around and saw a bouquet of flowers. The flowers moved down, revealing the face of a girl that was brighter than the flowers.

Qin Huiyin looked at him with a smile: "Is this nice? I just saw an old man selling it on the roadside. This capital city is indeed the capital. Even ordinary people are so elegant."

Song Ruize touched her hair: "When did you arrive?"

"Just arrived. No, I came here after I washed up." Qin Huiyin turned around. "Does it look good? It fits me well."

Song Ruize smiled, thought of something, and took her wrist and walked towards the tea room not far away.

He booked a private room, and after entering the room, he looked at Qin Huiyin seriously.

"You've grown taller." Her appearance has also grown. She is no longer the little girl with baby fat, but a bright young girl.

"You've grown taller too. How did you grow taller? You're a head taller than me!" Qin Huiyin stood on tiptoe. "Brother, we finally meet again."

Song Ruize reached out and hugged her.

Qin Huiyin suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Song Ruize's strong heartbeat.

Maybe it's because we've grown up, and it feels a bit awkward to be as intimate as before.

She wanted to pull herself out of his arms, but Song Ruize held her too tightly, so she let him do it.

Everyone was very happy to see each other again after a long separation, and some of them lost their composure for a moment.

"You still have work to do here, I'll go back and wait for you. We're having a reunion dinner tonight, brother, come over too!"
