Ning Zheng glanced at him and said coldly: "Zhaoyuan, now the people under your command are like you, and they understand the rules more and more?" How dare you talk back to the widow? ”

Lu Xun was choked.

Ning Nan silently supported himself to stand up from the ground, his face was pale and pale, and he said weakly: "Father... Lu Xun has always been stupid and unelegant, and he only said more when he saw that the child was tortured with a cane and it was inconvenient to walk. Don't be surprised by my father. ”

Ning Zheng snorted coldly, glanced him up and down, and said, "In this case, the widow will let the steward prepare a caravan for you." ”

Ning Nan trembled his thick eyelashes, and although his back hurt severely, he still replied forcibly: "Son, thank you for your father's care." ”

He turned around and instructed Lu Xun: "Chengzhong, you can order one Jing Inspector to lead the way, and the rest of the people can guard the mansion." ”

Ning Nan was worried about leaving the rest of the Jing Du Wei in the command mansion, but Ning Zheng said: "Lu Chengzhong will take all the horses of the Linhe Jing Du Wei to check it out." There are more people, and it is easier to find some under the cliff. ”

The young man in Xuanyi could still hold on, but hearing his words, he couldn't help but feel a chill flowing through his body, his heart palpitated, his face became even paler, and his feet were unsteady and shaky.

Lu Xun hesitated: "This..."

He looked at Ning Nan worriedly, and saw that the young man lowered his head, as if acquiescing, so he arched his fists with both hands and said to Ning Zheng: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Ning Zheng raised his eyebrows, turned to leave, and walked a few steps but didn't see the young man in Xuanyi behind him follow, so he turned his head and cast a strange gaze and said, "Why are you there?" ”

Ning Nan was supported by Lu Xun, stood with a little difficulty, and saluted Ning Zheng: "Please also ask the father to allow the child to change his clothes and go with him.... Otherwise, the child may not last long. ”

There were a lot of scratches on the board, and there were several scratches on his back, and the blood that oozes out quickly stained his underwear, although he couldn't see anything in his clothes, but he could see the wet marks on his back.

After all, Ning Zheng still remembered the righteousness of father and son between the two, nodded and agreed to his request.

The young man in Xuanyi said hoarsely: "Thank you for your understanding. ”

He leaned on Lu Xun with his whole body, and quickened his pace towards the north courtyard.

When the master and servant walked to the fork in front of the study in the backyard, Lu Xun looked puzzled and said, "The lord doesn't want to change clothes, why do you have to go to the study?" ”

"Today, my mother and Dou Taijun went out and went to the Buddha Temple on the outskirts of Linhe to offer incense, Uncle Ji also followed her in order to protect the two of them, and there was no one in charge in the house, which was not appropriate. The reason why my father wanted to separate both you and me from the command mansion was probably to do something to Ah Luo. Fortunately, my father didn't know that Dou Taijun and his son said that they came to Linhe a year ago, and he didn't know that his son said that he was in the house at the moment. You go, take the order of the fine guard, tell the son, after we leave, go to the west gate to transfer another team of fine guards, if Aluo returns to the house, you must protect her. He commanded.

Lu Xun said a little reluctantly: "Lord, if this matter is discovered by the acting king, I am afraid that you will be punished again, not to mention that the acting king is already quite jealous of Jing Duwei, if he really wants to make a move on the female monarch... Ordering someone to re-tune the guard at this moment will only anger the king. Makes him suspicious of you. Don't forget... Half a year ago, the acting king had already tested you through the hand of King De to lead the battle of Quanling.

What's more, this time, King Ming also came with the same king, he was not as impetuous, arrogant and arrogant as King De. His Royal Highness King Ming is thoughtful, and the city is quite deep, and he has been against you since childhood. If he knew about this, he would probably hold on to it and make a big fuss in front of the king. ”

Ning Nan looked at him with cold eyes and said in a low voice: "If not, do you want me to see my wife and children die in the palace?" ”

Lu Xun was stunned, his expression changed slightly, and he tried to persuade: "Lord! The Jiang clan is just a woman after all. There are countless women like her in this world, why should you be obsessed with her? If she wasn't Jiang Chengyi's sister, it wouldn't be fine. But she's the same as the lord, you're not all the way, you really don't have to..."

Ning Nan listened, his face immediately sank, and he said with a little annoyance: "Lu Chengzhong, are you teaching me to do things again at the moment?" Let me ask you, if the person who is about to face danger today is black tea, what do you want? ”

Lu Xun was speechless, and was dumbfounded.

He pushed the big man who was as stupid as a wood carving, and scolded softly: "Why don't you go quickly?" ”

Lu Xun could only respond to his orders and run towards the study.

After settling everything, Ning Nan worried, with the support of Lu Xun, got into the car of the Huai Wangfu and went down the mountain where Chen Xu fell off the cliff.

Not long after the group left the command mansion, Jiang Chengjia returned from the market with Qianshan and Xiaocui.

Seeing that the house suddenly became very deserted for some reason, she guessed something, so she casually found a small servant and asked carefully.

Sure enough, it was learned that the car of King Huai and the others stopped at the command mansion for a while. Eighth Library

Ning Nanwei couldn't be found anywhere in the mansion, so she knew that he should have gone out with Ning Zheng.

Just as she was about to return to the North Courtyard to rest for a while, she saw a young man in a reddish-brown brocade robe leaning on the wall of the North Courtyard from a distance, as if waiting for her to return.

"Zi said? Why are you waiting here? Jiang Chengjia asked.

Dou Yueshan remembered Fang Cai Ning Nan's solemn look, and said uneasily: "Sister-in-law has returned to the North Courtyard, can she still leave the courtyard after that?" ”

Jiang Chengjia was puzzled: "Why do you ask that?" ”

Dou Yueshan shook her head, and stopped talking: "Sister-in-law went out early this morning, and she will definitely have a good rest for a while." Seeing the return of his sister-in-law, his younger brother was at ease, and he retired here. ”

Jiang Chengjia looked at his hesitant appearance, and was suspicious, so he asked, "But what's the matter with your brother?" The acting king is coming today, but is it difficult for him? ”

Dou Yueshan sighed helplessly and said: "It's not a secret, when the King of the Huai Dynasty came to the command mansion, his younger brother was reading ancient books in his brother's study, and he had no intention of paying attention to this matter, and he didn't see his brother afterwards. I don't know what the situation is in the front hall, but I know that my brother asked me to greet my sister-in-law. ”

Jiang Chengjia saw that he seemed to be hiding something, but he refused to say it, and felt even more strange in his heart.

"My sister-in-law is still resting, and my brother will retire." He bowed to her and turned to leave the north courtyard.

Dou Yueshan's words and behaviors that didn't see anything wrong made Jiang Chengjia full of doubts. But she couldn't know what was going on, so she could only wait in the north courtyard to do a hurry.

Ning Zheng was really as Ning Nanwei expected, when he went to the place where Chen Xu fell off the cliff with Ning Nanwei and Ning Nanqing to investigate, he blatantly summoned the dead soldiers who secretly followed him all the way, and instructed them to sneak into the command mansion and assassinate Jiang Chengjia.

At that time, when the killer cautiously entered the command mansion from the low wall of the backyard, Jiang Chengjia was resting on the couch.

When danger crept in, she closed her eyes and thought about the specific relationship between Dou Taijun, Madame Cao, and Dou Yueshan.

In the past two days, the candle shadow and the breeze have returned to Linhe from Huijishui Building one after another, and she wrote a volume of everything she wanted to investigate, handed it to Qianshan, and quietly handed it into the house.

The volume is written: When Candle Shadow went to investigate the case book of Dou Yueshan's birth, he found that after Dou Yueshan's mother Chen died in childbirth, Dou Taijun immediately replaced all the maids around Chen, including the nurse who served Chen's back then, and personally took Dou Yueshan, who was only a concubine and was born to a concubine, to Ducizhai to raise him, and named him Zishu.

Candle Shadow followed this clue and found the stable woman who delivered the baby for Chen's back then, and learned from her that the baby born to Chen's back then was a stillbirth. But Dou Taijun ordered her to declare to the public that Chen was born to a healthy and normal boy.

Wen Po accepted Dou Taijun's hush money, and immediately moved out of the Gyeonggi area from Chang'an and returned to her hometown to wash and live. Who would have thought that more than a month ago, the Dou family sent another person, saying that the son of the Dou family had something to ask her, and if she could tell all the information about the day that Chen gave birth, she would repay twenty yuan. At that time, her youngest son had a serious illness and was in need of expensive medicinal herbs to recuperate. Wen Po was forced by the situation at that time, so she had to break the agreement she had made with Dou Taijun at that time, and told the little son of the Dou family about the events of that year. The rest is gone.

This is enough to prove that Dou Yueshan is indeed not the biological son of the Chen family and Dou Xunfen, he is just a baby that Dou Taijun picked up from nowhere.

And the breeze that went to the water building to investigate got another piece of news. According to the case file recorded by the Water Pavilion that year, before Mrs. Cao never married into the Huai Palace, she was very close to Dou Xunen. The two families have almost reached the point of talking about marriage, but later, for some reason, Cao and Dou Xunen parted ways and married into Huaiguo as a concubine.

Dou Xunen, the word Cen Sheng. When Mrs. Cao was mad, she often called him by his name. Jiang Chengjia also learned later that Cen Sheng was Dou Xunen's small character.

These news seemed to make her grasp the context, and gradually touched the truth of the events of the year, and her heart became more and more worried.

The step-by-step confirmation of the news made her more and more convinced that her bold speculations might all be true and accurate.

Just as she was concentrating on the events of the year, a slight cool breeze suddenly blew outside, and two black shadows were swishing against the edge of the paper window.

Jiang Chengjia, who has always been vigilant, was instantly attracted by the movement outside.

She slowly tightened her flabby face, revealing a nervous look, and there was always a bad premonition in her heart.

As she expected, the movement outside the house became louder and louder, as if someone wanted to break into the house.

Jiang Chengjia got up, silently moved to the window, gently poked a hole in the paper yarn, and looked out.

saw that a group of masked men in white shirts and green armor rushed over from behind the wall and surrounded the entire north courtyard.
