Ning Yi came back and saw that the people on both sides were arguing, so he asked coldly, "What did you find out?"

Li Yu's entourage immediately said angrily: "Lord Ning! There is no problem with our carriage, you have to say that there is a problem and we have to pull it back for careful inspection, what is the reason? Our title of prince is still there, and we are not going to have to confiscate our family property if we have been raided! Can you still be a little particular about the handling of things by your criminal prison department?"

Ning Yi frowned when he heard this, and looked at his subordinates: "Is there a problem with the things in the carriage?"

These people in the Criminal Prison Department were originally subordinates of the former deputy of the Criminal Prison Division, and the time they had followed Ning Yi was still short, and in their cognition, it was normal to collect some money when they ran errands, as long as they were sincere to the emperor, no one could help them.

One of the people in the Criminal Prison Department named Wei Dong stepped forward and said, "My lord, there is something wrong with the things in the carriage, we need to pull it back and check it carefully." ”

"Hell, this is just a cart of gold, silver and jade! What can be the problem? You just want to take the sheep by the hand!" Li Yu's entourage shouted dissatisfiedly.

Wei Dong sneered and said to Ning Yi: "You say that there is no problem, there is no problem, so what do you want us to do?" My lord, since they dare to question the actions of our Criminal Prison Department and hinder our official business, why don't you take them down!"

Ning Yi stood still and didn't move, there was no expression on his face, so people couldn't see what he was thinking.

Wei Dong saw that Ning Yi didn't speak, and wanted to step forward to say a few more words, but Ning Yi suddenly spoke: "Move things down." ”

When Wei Dong heard this, he thought that Ning Yi agreed with his actions, and immediately led people up to move the heavy boxes in the carriage. Just now when they were inspecting the carriage, they inspected the first few boxes outside, and when they saw that all of them were real money, they guessed that the carriage was full of valuable things, and when they moved it down, they estimated the weight and were more sure in their hearts, and several people looked at each other, and they couldn't help but show a satisfied look.

Li Yu's entourage wanted to come up to stop it, but they still had some scruples about Shang Ning Yi's cold eyes after all, so they could only ask people to report to the top.

After the box was moved down, it slapped on the ground, and Ning Yi coldly ordered: "Open it." ”

Wei Dong was stunned, looked at the people who were still surrounding them not far away, and whispered, "My lord." It's never too late to ship it back and open it again. Is there a problem at that time, and it's not up to us to say what the Prison Department says?"

Ning Yi didn't even look at him: "I said open it." ”

Wei Dong looked at Ning Yi and was a little unsure of what Ning Yi meant, but in the end he stepped forward and opened the box one by one, revealing the gold, silver and jade inside, which dazzled the eyes of the prison officer. They didn't have time to care what Ning Yi meant. All I thought in my heart was that I could get a few percent later.

Ning Yi looked at the big boxes one by one. Then he looked at his subordinates whose eyes were red, and his tone made people unable to hear the emotion: "Where is the problem you are talking about?"

Wei Dong came back to his senses and was a little stunned when he heard Ning Yi's words. He thought that Ning Yi didn't understand the twists and turns, so he leaned over again and lowered his voice to "point" and said: "My lord, there is nothing wrong with things, this is just an excuse for the brothers to accumulate wealth on weekdays, even if those criminal officials and their families know what is going on, they generally don't dare to make a noise, and they have nowhere to make a noise." ”

Ning Yi didn't have a trace of expression on his face, but the green tendons on his face and hands seemed to beat: "You all act like this every day?"

Wei Dong smiled when he heard this: "We also learned it from the people in the yamen, don't worry, according to the rules, you can share forty percent of the collected finances alone, and the rest ......."

Before Wei Dong's words were finished, Ning Yi's right hand suddenly moved, and everyone only felt a flash of knife light, a red mist sprayed out in front of their eyes, and then a round thing rolled down from Wei Dong's neck.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden change, and it was not until Wei Dong's headless body fell to the ground with a "poof" that everyone reacted to what had happened.

"Big, big, big, big, big, ......"

Several subordinates of the Criminal Prison Division took a few steps back in fright, looking at Ning Yi's eyes full of horror. Although they also knew a little about Ning Yi's bloodthirsty and brutal methods, they themselves were the people of the Criminal Prison Division, and they didn't do less blood-staining things on weekdays, so they didn't care too much, they really couldn't imagine that Ning Yi would pull out a knife and cut off the heads of his subordinates without saying a word.

The people on Li Yu's side were also shocked, and they took a few steps back, put their hands on their weapons, and looked at Ning Yi with a wary expression.

Ning Yi didn't seem to notice everyone's different gazes at all, he took out a white handkerchief, frowned and wiped away the few drops of blood that had just accidentally splashed on his face, and the slow and orderly movements made the hearts of the people present numb.

In the silence of the audience, Ning Yi spoke: "In the future, if someone takes the opportunity to collect money while performing official duties, the end will be the same as him." ”

The people from the Criminal Prison Department glanced at Wei Dong, who was already in a different place, and they all felt a little cold in their necks, they raised their heads to meet Ning Yi's gaze, whether they were willing or unwilling in their hearts, they couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and said loudly: "Yes, my lord." ”

Ning Yi didn't care what the people present thought in their hearts, and only said coldly, "Clean up here." And he turned over and got on his horse.

The people in the Criminal Prison Department didn't know why Ning Yi suddenly turned his face when he said that he would turn his face, and if he said that he would kill someone, they all blamed Ning Yi's temperament for being too moody, so from then on, no one below dared to disobey his orders because of his lack of qualifications.

No one knew that Ning Yi just remembered the scene where the Yang family was raided.

Those officials searched every room of the Yang family, not even the woman's boudoir, they secretly ignored the jewelry that was not registered on the dresser, and also stepped on or tore up her calligraphy and paintings that he carefully collected, and smashed the carvings that he had given her over the years that were worthless in the eyes of others......

The scenes at that time have always appeared repeatedly in Ning Yi's dreams over the years, and he has not forgotten every picture.

There is always a **** who wants these people to double their returns!

Ning Yi left with the people of the Criminal Prison Department and a corpse, and someone reported what had just happened to Li Yu. Li Yu didn't react, only said two words: "Let's go." ”

The forbidden army opened the way, and Li Yu's carriage slowly left the capital.

On this day, He Linwan accompanied Wei to attend Mrs. Li's birthday banquet and returned home in a carriage, but was blocked on the road halfway. It turned out that it had been snowing heavily for several days, and a big locust tree in front of them was crushed by the snow, and half of its torso lay on the road, blocking the carriage from moving forward.

Wei sent Du Juan down to see the situation, and it didn't take long for Du Juan to come back and report: "Madam, it's not just our family that is blocked here, it seems that the carriage of the Pan family is in front, and the carriage of the Lu family and the Lin family is behind us, and this road is blocked. ”

The Li family's birthday banquet has just ended, and there are many carriages coming out of the Li family, and this road is not too wide, so it is normal for everyone to be blocked together.

Wei thought for a while, and said: "There are a lot of people from our families combined, you go and discuss with the stewards of the Pan family and the Lu family, and each of our families will send some laborers to work together to move the broken branch away, this is still far away from the government, and the people from the government are waiting to sort out the reason, I'm afraid it will take some time, it's too cold outside, don't freeze." ”

As soon as Du Juan was about to go to discuss with the steward of the Pan family, the steward of the Pan family took the initiative to send someone over, and the Pan family's meaning was the same as that of the Wei family, planning to clear the road by themselves and come to the Wei family to ask for some manpower.

Wei's naturally responded, and Mama Li went to arrange.

It didn't take long for Mrs. Pan to send someone over to invite Wei's mother and daughter to sit in a small teahouse on the side of the road, and wait for the people below to clean up the road ahead before leaving.

This Mrs. Pan's husband is also a military general, in the Jimo camp of the fifth prince, the level is lower than He Guanglie, just at the Li family's birthday banquet Mrs. Pan and Wei were at the same table, because the two from the capital had some exchanges, so although they are not too familiar, they barely have some friendship.

Wei was afraid that He Linwan would be cold if he sat in the carriage for a long time, so he agreed to Mrs. Pan's invitation and took He Linwan out of the carriage.

Mrs. Pan is just looking for an ordinary teahouse on the side of the road, and there is only one façade, but fortunately, it is deep and narrow, so it does not look crowded when there are more than a dozen square tables.

Although they only planned to sit for a while, the Pan family still wrapped up this small teahouse, and when Wei entered, there were only Mrs. Pan and the maid she brought with her, as well as a middle-aged couple and a young man who ran the teahouse.

Seeing Wei come in, Mrs. Pan immediately got up with a smile and said, "My wife and I really have a fate, I regret that I didn't talk enough at the banquet just now, and I don't want to have the opportunity to get together again so soon." ”

Wei smiled and stepped forward to greet Mrs. Pan, and the two only said a few words, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lin came, it turned out that Mrs. Pan invited not only Mrs. Wei, but also Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lin, who were blocked behind.

Mrs. Lu is the wife of the chief secretary of Yalu in Penglai County, and Mrs. Lin is the wife of a wealthy family, but although she is married to a merchant, I heard that she is from an official family.

The four of them don't have much contact on weekdays, so they don't know each other very well, but there is no stupid person present, so there is no cold scene when they sit together, especially Mrs. Pan, who knows that she is a delicate person when she behaves in person.

Mrs. Lin also brought her daughter with her, so He Linwan also had a companion.

Several ladies talked together, and He Linwan sat with the girl of the Lin family.

This Lin girl heard that she was a concubine, and her temperament seemed to be a little wooden, and she didn't like to talk, so she smiled stiffly at He Linwan and sat there and lowered her head to drink tea.

On the contrary, the four ladies chatted very speculatively.

He Linwan heard that Mrs. Lin, who seemed to be fast-talking, suddenly smiled and said, "Mrs. Lu, I want to ask you about someone." (To be continued.) )
