According to Tang Ning's original plan, when he went to Qiandi to look for Su Mei, Su Ruzhong and Tang Yaoyao went to Chu State, and when he came back from Qiandi, they had already joined Li Tianlan.

In this way, when he picks up Su Mei, returns to Jingshi, and then takes Zhao Man with him, with a little trick, he can get out of Chen State, and from now on, the world is so big, he can go there.

However, plans often fail to keep up with change.

He found Su Mei, but Xiaoru and the others were also stopped back, and the situation in Jingshi was completely reversed.

I can't say whether this matter is a good thing or a bad thing, let's say it's a bad thing, their original plan was to wait until three or five years later, when Zhao Yuan grew up, and Emperor Chen would pass on the throne to him. Now that Emperor Chen is seriously ill, he may die at any time, and the day Emperor Chen dies is the time for the Fang family to make a move.

The sooner Emperor Chen dies, the faster Duan Wang will be cool.

said that it was a good thing, but their plan was completely disrupted by King Duan, and there was a miasma of smoke in the court, which was also not the result that Tang Ning wanted.

However, no matter what decision he would make in the future, he still needed to meet with Emperor Chen first.

In addition, there was another problem that Downing had to start thinking about.

He and Xiaoru can leave, but his father-in-law is Jing Zhaoyin, do you want him to give up his hard-won career and wander the world with them?

This is obviously an unrealistic thing, and Tang Ning hasn't thought much about this matter and told his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Mingli saw what was on his mind and asked, "Are you worried about King Duan?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "King Duan has now been recognized by His Majesty, if he is on the throne, it will be difficult for his father-in-law's Jing Zhaoyin to do ......"

"You don't have to worry about me." Zhong Mingli waved his hand and said: "Over the years, I have been tired of being an official, if Your Majesty decides to pass on the throne to King Duan, I will resign from the official position and accompany Yuxian well, I have treated her too much for the years of being an official......

Tang Ning thought for a moment and asked, "What if it is King Run who succeeds to the throne?" ”

"King Run?" Zhong Mingli thought about it, but still shook his head and said: "Even if I am not King Duan, I have the intention of resigning, I want to look around with your mother-in-law, staying in Jingshi, it is really not interesting......"

Since his father-in-law had already planned, Tang Ning didn't say anything anymore, Zhong Mingli watched him leave, and also got up and walked towards the mansion.

There is always a big gap between the ideal and the reality, and he also had the dream of being a marquis and paying homage to the prime minister, but he did not realize this dream, but realized it on his son-in-law.

Now that he is close to the age of not being confused, he has taken a light look at these things, and he is also a little tired of the complexity of this officialdom, rather than intriguing with people in the court for a lifetime, it is better to resign as soon as possible to make up for the debt to his wife because of official affairs over the years.

Although he has the intention of resigning, at the moment he is still Jing Zhaoyin, the parent official of the people of Jingshi, and he has never relaxed on the affairs in the yamen.

As soon as he came to the government office, a young Yin took a pile of files and said, "My lord, this is the case file submitted by the county government in Jingzhao Mansion last month. ”

For some serious cases involved in Jingzhao Mansion, the local county government is not qualified to make a final conclusion, and generally the county government makes a ruling, and the government government reviews and verifies it correctly, and only after it is stamped with Jingzhaoyin's seal can the case be closed.

Zhong Mingli carefully looked at each dossier and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, and then he would stamp a big seal on it.

"This case ......" he said, picking up a dossier, "why are there so few dossier?" ”

What he was holding in his hand was a file of a human life case, and in a case like this, the review would be extremely strict, and the investigation by the local government would be very meticulous, and it was unlikely that the final file would be only so small.

Na Shaoyin said: "The ins and outs of this case, the cause and effect are very obvious, and there is no doubt, so the local government closed the case quickly, and did not accumulate many files." ”

After Zhong Mingli took a closer look, he found that the case was indeed simple, and the facts of the case were clear at a glance, so he didn't ask any more questions, picked up the seal and covered it.

Jingzhao Shaoyin picked up the seal and said, "Xia Guan took it to the Criminal Department for the record......

Zhong Mingli nodded, thinking about when he would resign, but he didn't notice that when Shao Yin turned his head, a strange smile appeared on his face.

……

After Tang Ning returned to Beijing, he was not in a hurry to go to Shangshu Province to deal with government affairs, and now his mind is no longer in Shangshu Province, not in the imperial court, or even in Chen State.

What he considered was that after the matter here was over, whether their family would go to the Qiandi or the grassland, or they could also add another choice of the Chu State.

After thinking about it carefully, he first ruled out the option of Chu State.

Although the state of Chu is also a retreat, it is still someone else's territory, Li Tianlan is just a princess, not a khan, not a saint, and she can't be the master of the affairs of the state of Chu alone.

Tang Ning no longer wants to live this kind of life under the fence, compared with the Chu State, the Qiandi or the grassland is obviously more suitable, and compared to the grassland, the Qiandi is under Su Mei's control, which is safer.

But if he didn't go to the grassland to make an appointment, Tang Ning was worried that Wan Yan Yan would lead 100,000 cavalry to rush over, but fortunately, there were still two years left in the three-year covenant, so there was no need to rush for a while.

Tang Ning took Zhong Yi and Su Ru to his mother-in-law for dinner today, and unexpectedly found that his father-in-law was also there.

He is Jing Zhaoyin, he is busy with official business on weekdays, and he has a lot of opportunities, not to mention lunch, many times even dinner is dealt with in the county office, how can he be at home at this time.

Not only Tang Ning was curious, but even Chen Yuxian was strange, glanced at him, and wondered: "Why did you come back so early today, and there is nothing in the yamen?" ”

Zhong Mingli's face was a little gloomy, and he said: "Something happened, these days, I don't have to go to the yamen for the time being." ”

Chen Yuxian's expression tightened and asked, "What happened?" ”

Zhong Mingli shook his head and said, "There is a case, something went wrong......

After listening to Zhong Mingli's words, Tang Ning knew what was going on.

The father-in-law is Jing Zhaoyin, and the county government of Jingshi can handle small disputes on his own, but for major cases, he must go through the Jingzhao government and need to be reviewed and sealed by Jing Zhaoyin.

This time, the problem lies in a case in a certain county under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, which has been concluded by the local county government when the human and material evidence is complete, and the homicide case that has been reviewed by the Jingzhao government has suddenly undergone unexpected changes.

The prisoner who was identified as the murderer became a victim, and the identity of the deceased was a bully, and when he bullied the victim, he suddenly became hysterical and died suddenly on the spot.

The deceased's ancestors were quite influential in the local area, and after some operation, the local county government reversed black and white, identified the original victim as a human criminal, and created human and physical evidence, and soon turned it into an ironclad case.

Seeing that there was no doubt in the case, the Jingzhao Mansion also stamped its seal and handed it over to the Criminal Department for handling.

If it's an ordinary case, it's over here.

However, the victim's family was not satisfied with the government's actions, and even filed a complaint against several officials, including the local county magistrate and Jing Zhaoyin, to Dali Temple.

The case involved Jing Zhao Yin, Dali Temple reported the case to Shangshu Province, and Shangshu Province quickly made a decision to immediately suspend Jing Zhaoyin Zhong Mingli for investigation, and as for those local officials, they were also controlled at the first time.

This case seems reasonable, but it is full of suspicions.

Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion are different, Dali Temple only handles the cases explained by His Majesty, and does not accept civil lawsuits.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin is an official position of the fourth grade, even if there is a dereliction of duty, the main responsibility is not him, how could Shangshu Province make the decision to suspend the investigation......

Obviously, this is a trap, a trap for my father-in-law, or a trap for him.

Duanwangfu, Duanwang showed a sarcastic look on his face, and sneered: "I want to see if you can help or not help this favor......
