Chapter 1416: Reason for Leaving 2
When Lu Jiang met Li Shuitian, he felt very pleased, knowing they were doing well gave him peace of mind. However, encountering Jiu Hong was unpleasant; the day after returning to the army, he called Ye Zhengjun to inquire about Jiu Hong.
"Oh, you’re talking about that? I actually forgot to mention it to you," Ye Zhengjun replied indifferently, clearly not taking Jiu Hong seriously.
After returning to the army, Ye Zhengjun heard about Lu Zhaodi cursing the Lu Family’s children and felt greatly disgusted. Jiu Hong had an improper lifestyle and soon slipped up, which got reported to the army.
This was a perfect opportunity, and Ye Zhengjun certainly didn’t let Jiu Hong off the hook!
Jiu Hong had his own backer, but after some contention, the army expelled him due to his improper lifestyle.
"What ’improper lifestyle’? It was actually about male-female relationships. When Lu Zhaodi was pregnant with her fourth child, not long after you left, Jiu Hong, feeling troubled, got involved with a female soldier who joined last year. One wanted to climb the social ladder, the other wanted to divorce and remarry; they even discussed it openly. We hadn’t taken action yet when Lu Zhaodi caught them, resulting in her premature labor out of anger."
Ye Zhengjun had no good feelings towards Jiu Hong. Compared to the honest, fair, and generous Li Shuitian, who was Jiu Hong to act as he did—and even report on Li Shuitian and Cao Hongzhu to climb up the ranks?
The army is the army; it allows no corruption, improper liaisons, or other misconduct.
Ye Zhengjun ran a strict military regime, showing no mercy under such circumstances.
