Chapter 61: The Truth About Daddy's Death
"Big young master!" came the voice of a family member outside the small courtyard again.
"What's the matter?" Yan Ning didn't mean to let the other party into the small courtyard.
"The elder of the clan asked you to go to the council chamber, saying that there is something important to discuss with you. The family said outside the courtyard gate with a loud voice.
"Well, got it, I'll go over. Yan Ning replied.
The elder of the big clan came to him to discuss at this time, in fact, he didn't have to guess that it was related to the matter of the Wufu Jintie Inspection Division, after all, the Hou Mansion had eyeliner in Kyoto.
"Su Su, you are here to continue to practice sword with the master of Dugu Hall. After Yan Ning finished explaining, he let Fang Fei lead the way and walked towards the location of the council hall.
And Dugu ruthless has no intention of following.
Yan Ning and Fang Fei flew out of the small courtyard, made a few big turns, entered the front yard from the inner courtyard, and arrived in front of an antique small building in a short time.
The small building is divided into two floors.
On it hangs a silver plaque "Council Chamber".
The first floor of the council hall is used to deal with some intra-clan disputes, while the second floor is a place to discuss major matters in the clan.
Fang Fei stopped at the door.
After Yan Ning walked in, there was a guard who led Yan Ning up to the second floor.
"Ning'er, here. In the discussion room on the second floor, the three clan elders had been waiting for Hou inside, and as soon as they saw Yan Ning, they all opened their mouths to ask Hou.
"Hello three grandfathers. Yan Ning returned the salute.
"Well, sit down. The three clan elders nodded.
Yan Ning sat down.
Then, a maid came in and put a few stacks of snacks in front of Yan Ning, poured a cup of tea, and finally exited the second floor.
"The three grandfathers are looking for me?" Yan Ning was the first to speak.
"You say it, third child. The elder of the big clan and the elder of the second clan looked at the elder of the third clan.
"Okay, Ning'er is like this, we have received an important news, the Ministry of Officials has already issued instructions, and you will succeed you as a secretary of the Ministry of Industry. ”
"Wufu Jintie Inspection Division?" Yan Ning nodded slightly.
"Huh?!...... Do you already know?" the old man of the three clans was stunned for a moment, because he hadn't seen Yan Ning go out in the past five days.
Moreover, Yan Ning has been practicing swords in the mansion for the past five days, and he doesn't seem to have any contact with any information outside, so how did he know about this matter?
"Dugu ruthlessly told you?" the elders of the two clans immediately guessed.
"Sort of, Gonggong Liang will definitely have the next move after I beat him out of the Hou Mansion, and today the Inspection Department of the Five Mansions was suddenly thoroughly investigated, and then, there was no even questioning and beheading, I guess how much it should have something to do with me. Yan Ning smiled slightly.
"Yes, Ning'er, you have analyzed it thoroughly, and now we have received definite information, you will soon be appointed as the new Wufu Jintie Inspection Division, I don't know what you think about this position...... What do you think?" the elders of the three clans also nodded appreciatively when they heard this.
"What does the third grandfather think?" Yan Ning asked without answering.
"Forehead ......"
"Okay, Ning'er can analyze at a glance that this matter is related to him, so don't hide it, just be honest and unfair. The elder finally spoke.
"Well, what we mean is that Ning'er can take over this will, but you must not go to office right away. The elders of the three clans and the elders of the two clans glanced at each other and spoke.
"Did the three grandfathers let me drag it until after marrying Qianshan Xue?" Yan Ning naturally understood what the three clan elders meant.
"Yes, as long as you marry Ning Yuan's General's Mansion, then there is no problem with any position, but at this time, it is best not to leave the Hou Mansion. The elder of the two clans nodded.
"Second Grandpa, why did they behead the current Wufu Jintie Inspection Division on the street?" Yan Ning's mouth hooked up with a smile.
"......" two old clans.
"Beheading the current Wufu Golden Iron Inspection Division, this is telling us that the Qianguo's demand for 'gold and iron' has reached the point where it cannot be delayed, although this illusion is deliberately created by them, but its meaning is that you are not allowed to continue to delay at home!" Yan Ning said indifferently.
"Well, Ning'er, it seems that you are already prepared?" the elder of the clan looked at Yan Ning.
"There is preparation, but there is one thing that I have not been able to understand. Yan Ning nodded.
"What's the matter?"
"Why did my father die?" Yan Ning looked at the elder of the big clan, in his memory, he only knew that Yan Xiaotian died suddenly a month ago, and as for the rest, he didn't know anything.
This shows that Yan Ning did not participate in the affairs of the Hou Mansion and the court in the past, and basically belonged to the type of sick man who was idle at home.
And now, since there is going to be a war.
So, at least you should know who your opponent is, right?
"......" The three clan elders were silent instantly.
"Since the three grandfathers called me here to discuss, they should have been ready to tell me the truth, right?" Yan Ning picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip gently.
"yes, the three of us are really ready to tell you all the truth. The three clan elders looked at each other and finally sighed.
"Three grandfathers, please speak. Yan Ning took another bite of the snack.
"Our Zhenbei Hou Mansion is all princelings. The elder of the three clans gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Poof!"
The snack in Yan Ning's mouth squirted out.
The elders of the three clans were immediately sprayed with sesame seeds and mung beans.
"Actually, Xiaotian's death was not unexpected by us, but we didn't expect it...... It's going to come so fast. The elder of the two clans sighed.
"Xiaotian and the prince grew up together since childhood, and are deeply trusted by the prince, they have already been in charge of the 80,000 Zhenbei Iron Cavalry at a young age, and have made countless exploits in the war with Beiliang, if it weren't for the sudden illness and death of the prince three months ago, how dare they fight the idea of the 80,000 Zhenbei Iron Cavalry?"
"......" Yan Ning was silent.
Because, he already knows the reason.
The prince fell ill and died.
His father is also a descendant of the prince's party, and at this time, he instantly lost his support, and the hatred formed in the past because of the party dispute broke out.
You bullied me to death before, but now you don't have a backstage, and I won't kill you?
Of course, there is another option.
is to immediately wagging his tail to the other party and begging for mercy, but with his arrogant personality, he probably disdains to do so, so he was killed.
"After learning the news of the prince's death, Xiaotian went to the Ningyuan General's Mansion as soon as possible and decided your marriage with Qianshan Xue, judging from this matter, Xiaotian should have guessed something at that time, and now that he thinks about it, he should have wanted to use this marriage to shock the other party, but he didn't expect that the other party would not dare to deal with the Zhenbei Hou Mansion openly, but he used such despicable means to secretly poison him!"
"Understood, those three grandfathers think, who is most likely to be the murderer who killed my father?" Yan Ning naturally had some judgments when he heard this.
After all, this kind of plot ......
There are still a lot of them in the novel.
To sum up, it is nothing more than two words - party struggle!
