Emperor Wei and his party cheered, because compared to the Marquis of Huaiyin, watching King Ning Nankun plant his head made them feel more comfortable and happy.

Compared with Emperor Wei's party, the Huai Wangfu at this moment is the most anxious place in the entire Luoyang City.

Ning Zheng was sitting in front of the hall with a gloomy face because of the letter of condemnation that spread all over the streets and alleys. Not long after King Ming heard the news, he rushed over from the palace and has been sitting with him until now.

"Father, this matter is obvious, it was the second brother who did it..."Ning Nanqing finally couldn't help but mention it silently, but was glared at by Ning Zheng.

But he didn't give up, and said indignantly: "Why doesn't my father believe that it was the second brother who did it?" Didn't my father suspect that the second brother was privately dominating power in the capital...? ”

Ning Zheng's eyes became deeper and deeper, and he raised his eyes to look at him, "How do you know that I doubt him?" I've only said this to Ming'er. ”

These words made Ning Nanqing stunned, and he blocked his words for a while.

"Father... This is... Is this doubting the son? Ning Nanqing looked lost and lowered his head.

Ning Zheng frowned, was silent for a moment, and then shifted his words, "This matter is definitely impossible for your second brother to prepare. ”

Ning Nankun turned his head and thought about it, feeling that there was some truth. Over the years, Ning Nanwei was not only suppressed by His Majesty, but also by his father, although he served as a chariot general in the court, but he had no real power in his hands. His elite guards are not in the capital all year round. If you want to prepare all this within half a month, and sprinkle the condemnation letter all over the streets and alleys, causing a storm in the city, it is absolutely impossible to rely on Ning Nan's worries.

However, Ning Zheng not only thought of this, but also wondered about the note in Yue Huan's hand two days ago. What is written in the long book is that Ning Nan was worried about his own safe arrival in Linhe, commanded by the soldiers and horses, and led the suppression of the Linhe turmoil, how did it become the truth of Quanling in the hands of the emperor?

Did that note come from Lincong? This made Ning Zheng full of doubts. Yue Huan was rebelled, and no one knew about it, not to mention that Ning Nan would notice it in advance, and prepared a fake post to let himself down his precautions. Sanyu has nothing abnormal in this plan, and it seems that it has nothing to do with Ning Nan's worries, is it really that he is suspicious? Ning Zheng couldn't help but doubt his own judgment, but more than a month ago, he had found out that Ning Nan was secretly investigating Chang Mengjun's rebellion case, could it be that this matter was also a false report?

Ning Zheng knew that his second son had always been haunted by the Chang Mengjun rebellion case in the second year of Yangjia, and wanted to find out the truth of that year. After all, Lu Yu, the head of the Lu family who participated in the rebellion, was his mentor when he was a child, so over the years, he has not allowed people in the mansion to touch the files of the rebellion case that year, because he was afraid that Ning Nan would be involved.

A month ago, after he learned that Ning Nanwei had privately investigated the file of the reverse case, he deliberately connived at Ning Nankun to detour to Lingling on the way to Longzhong, and even ordered Yue Huan to send the Praetorian Guards to imprison Zhang Pai's family in the villa outside the city, so that Ning Nankun could attack. Originally, he wanted to give Ning Nan a warning, asking him not to continue to investigate the reverse case, and to test how many Jing Inspectors were available next to him, the second son.

But what he didn't expect was that Ning Nankun didn't know the severity of his move, obviously with Shen Yuzhi by his side, but he insisted on going his own way, forcing Jing Duwei to show up to protect the master, causing his plan to lose its meaning.

Ning Zheng was a little annoyed, because he loved Ning Nankun too much on weekdays, and because he was the most temperamental of the three brothers, he let him mess around and did not control it well, so that even if Shen Yuzhi was by Ning Nankun's side, he couldn't persuade him, which led to such a result.

Just as he was thinking about how to cover up the matter of Longzhong for Ning Nankun, Master Fan in the mansion hurriedly walked to the main hall and hurriedly reported, "Acting king!" ”

Ning Zheng was having a headache, and when he heard this, he raised his face with a frosty face and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Shi An's lieutenant Tao Sun committed suicide in Longzhong... I don't know when... Already.. Sent to the Tingwei's mansion. ”

"Smack.." With a bang, the pottery bowl fell to the ground and fell in half.

Master Fan immediately fell to his knees with a thud, and he didn't dare to gasp.

"Tao Sun committed suicide in fear of sin? When did this happen? When was it transferred to Luoyang? What about King De? What about Ning Mingyuan? Is he dead? Ning Zheng finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and rushed to Master Fan in a few steps and shouted.

"Calm the anger of the king!" The servants and maids waiting in the hall all knelt on the ground and worshipped, and even Ning Nanqing couldn't help but tremble and knelt down.

"Father, don't be so angry, ask about the situation first." Ning Nanqing was the most calm at this time, turned his head and asked Master Fan in detail, "Can you say that Tao Sun committed suicide because of his fear?" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Qiming... News came from the Tingwei that General Tao... Be... It is because of guilt and anxiety in my heart, thinking that I am ashamed of the people and Your Majesty... That's why..."Master Fan stammered.

"Then what kind of virtue is Tao Sun, don't you know? If he is ashamed of those people, he will be alive and dead! Ning Nanqing knew that it was a lie when he heard it, and reprimanded him angrily, "Didn't Master Fan find out anything else?" ”

"It's not that I haven't found it." Master Fan fell to the ground and whispered and continued, "The minister and Lang Zhongling were in business, and they went to Qingxiang to meet with Ning Jiu of Yegong Pavilion. That's when I learned... That Tao Sun's family seems to have been kidnapped by the people of the Water Pavilion... That's it..."

"Water Pavilion? Jiang Mengluo? Ning Zheng gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes." Master Fan said tremblingly, "General Tao Sun was transported to the Tingwei Mansion with a letter in his hand. ”

"What is written in the letter?"

"Say yes... It is said that it is ashamed of the people of Longzhong, and the people of Quanling County, Lingling County, who were suddenly caught in the war... In order to expose the guilt of His Royal Highness King Ming, Tao Sun made hundreds of condemnation letters overnight... I would like to explain everything to the people of Luoyang. Master Fan was sweating profusely, trembling all over, and after saying the last word, his face was already pale, and he tried to swallow a mouthful of saliva, waiting for Ning Zheng to reply.

"Tao Sun was not a citizen in his lifetime, but he is admirable after his death?" Ning Zheng suddenly laughed, slowly turned around, walked to the side of the desk, and gently picked up the tea cup placed on it and played with it, and the whole hall was extremely silent.

Master Fan held his breath and was nervous, and in vain he heard the sound of exploding pottery in his ears, and the porcelain fragments slammed into him, causing him to subconsciously duck backwards, and said with a bleak face, "Acting King..."

"Now, the widow finally knows who is behind the trouble." Ning Zheng let out a gurgling sound of gnashing teeth, and his eyes were gloomy and terrifying.

Ning Nanqing replied boldly, "Yes... Chief Si Jiang Chengyi? ”

Ning Zheng ignored it, almost equivalent to acquiescence. He clenched his fists and swallowed in a sullen gulp, closing his eyes in an attempt to calm his anger.

After a while, he brushed his sleeves and left, leaving a cold sentence, "Fan Li, send someone to Youzhou to make some preparations." I'm afraid I'm going to stay there for a while these days. ”

Ning Nanqing couldn't help but be shocked when he heard his intentions, and hurriedly asked, "Isn't my father ready to save the third brother?" ”

Far away, the man said coldly with his hands, "Don't save it." He made the mess himself, and let him clean it up after himself. No one needs affection. ”

Ning Nanqing's heart was pounding, his face was turmeric, and he watched his father step by step towards the inner house of the main courtyard without the slightest hesitation. At this moment, he clearly understood that Ning Nankun's sin was a certainty and irreparable. A hint of happiness rose in his heart, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. As soon as Ning Nankun left, his father was the only one by his side, and perhaps his father would pay more attention to him in the future.

Master Fan, who was kneeling in front of the hall, was so frightened that he raised his sleeve and rubbed the sweat that was about to drip from the tip of his nose, but he was still motionless. There was another ancestor in front of this hall who did not leave, so that he felt as if he had been nailed, and he did not dare to move half a step.

Ning Nanqing stood up slowly, with a weird smile on his face, walked slowly to Fan Li and helped him up with his own hands, and said softly, "Master Fan has worked hard, so I'll leave alone, and I hope that Master Fan will take good care of my father." ”

Na Fan Li was flattered, and hurriedly nodded in response, "It should be." ”

Ning Nanqing snorted lightly and walked towards the outside of the palace.

As he thought, Ning Nankun's game is a dead end, no matter what, it is fish and meat on the knife board, and it is slaughtered by others. It didn't take long for Emperor Wei to order Zongzheng Temple and Tingwei Mansion to investigate the case of Quanling, and then the two Jingdu guards who were originally worried about Ning Nan pretending to be bandits and robbing grain suddenly retracted their confessions in Tingwei Hall, bluntly pointing out that the two of them were severely tortured, and forced to testify that the Marquis of Huaiyin robbed money and grain, and they really couldn't stand it, so they should be convicted of this trumped-up crime.

Suddenly, the big case of Longzhong's harsh withholding of grain and grass for disaster relief and selling grain and grass for private money also fell on Ning Nankun's head, and after careful investigation, it was found that a few days ago, the evidence submitted by Shang Shufu Duan Xing to prove that Ning Nan was guilty of Ning Nankun's private withholding of money and two thefts for inferior dam building materials, and buying dregs as disaster relief grain and grass to make profits from it.

Emperor Wei was furious and ordered people to immediately recall Ning Nankun, who was in Longzhong to treat the disaster, and appointed Situ Li Chengyi's son, Li Xian as the new disaster relief envoy to Longzhong, Weixing and other places.

Three days later, Zongzheng Temple announced the sentence, fined 30,000 stone coins and two of the Dewang Mansion, degraded the King of De as the Marquis of Changshan, confiscated his fief, and exiled to Youzhou for three years. Ning Zheng used multiple layers of power, and finally ordered Emperor Wei to return the recovered fief again, and he was powerless to punish the rest.

When Ning Nankun first heard the bad news, when he was escorted back to the capital to await trial, he couldn't believe his ears for a while, and always thought that the imperial secretary who came to deliver the decree was mistaken, and in a fit of anger he swung his knife to kill the imperial secretary, but was stopped by Sanyu, who accompanied Li Xian to Longzhong.

But the truth is settled, no matter how much he struggles, it is useless.

Along the way, Ning Nankun sat in the prisoner car, constantly screaming and insulting, "Gu has never done these things!" This is the conspiracy of the Marquis of Huaiyin! It's Ning Nan's conspiracy! I want to see King Huai! I want to see Your Majesty! ”

But all the way was only scolded by the people of Luoyang. The streets and alleys of the capital were full of people, and seeing Ning Nankun already standing proudly on the prisoner car, they all picked up what their subordinates could reach and threw them at him.
