Seeing Qi Ning's thoughts, Chi Danmei shook his arm lightly and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Qi Ning came back to his senses, he smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's nothing." "I thought that the origin of the man in white was unknown, this thing was quite weird, and there was no need to tell Chi Danmei.

Chi Danmei is so smart, how can she not see it, her eyes rolled, and she said softly: "Do you have something to hide from me?" ”

"No ......!" Qi Ning thought for a moment and asked softly, "Then has Aunt Mei taken the blood of the Snow Dragon?" ”

"I'm not in a hurry." Chi Danmei smiled: "I am now in the palace, I can go over at any time, but there is such a good thing, I think of you in my heart, if you have the ability to sneak into the palace in the middle of the night, I will lead you over." ”

Qi Ning held Chi Danmei's hand and said softly: "My aunt seems to be really worried about me. ”

Chi Dan glanced at him, with infinite charm, and said softly: "Don't be amorous, I'm just worried that you have too many enemies, and with your three-legged cat's kung fu, you can't deal with your enemies at all." ”

"You're worried that I'm not an enemy opponent, so naturally you're still worried about my safety." Qi Ning chuckled and said, "If you really worry about me, wouldn't it be better to stay by my side in the future and protect my safety day and night?" ”

"You're beautiful." Chi Danmei snorted lightly, ate and chuckled: "You asked me to be your guard, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay the silver." ”

"Auntie, you are a disciple of the East China Sea Island Lord, your martial arts are high, and you can't find anything in the world, why do you have to wronged yourself and pretend to be a palace maid looking for that thing in the palace?" Qi Ning said in a low voice: "I still don't know what you're looking for, so you can't tell me?" ”

"It's better that you still don't know." Chi Dan said quietly: "If you really want to get involved, it won't do you any good." He glanced at the door and said in a low voice: "You have been here for a long time, and if you don't go out again, the old eunuch is only afraid that he will become suspicious." ”

"And how am I going to see you next time?"

Chi Danmei took a silk scarf and handed it over, stuffed it into Qi Ning's hand, Qi Ning opened it and took a look, only to see that on the silk scarf, there was actually a map drawn, which marked the location of Fengyi Palace, and there were two ink dots, Chi Danmei had already pointed to the ink dots and explained: "This is where I live, after a while, I will be here, this place is where the snow dragon in southern Xinjiang is located, very remote." ”

Qi Ning put away the silk scarf and said in a low voice: "That is to say, if I want to see you, I have to sneak into the palace in the middle of the night?" ”

"Although your current martial arts are not very high, they are not weak." Chi Danmei said softly: "You should still have the ability to sneak into the palace. His eyes were hooked, close to Qi Ning's ear: "I'm waiting for you in the palace, if you want to see me, just come in with your ability." ”

Qi Ning sighed, suddenly thought of something, and said in a low voice: "Yes, aunt, I have something to ask you to help with." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Liu Zhen, the chief eunuch of the Rite and Music Supervisor, found a few musicians from outside the palace to enter the palace." Qi Ning thought for a moment and said softly: "If it's convenient for you, help me keep an eye on those musicians." ”

Chi Dan sighed: "The man really sees one and loves the other, do you want me to help you be a matchmaker by looking at the faces of those musicians?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Qi Ning suddenly reached out and hugged Chi Danmei in his arms, Chi Danmei immediately struggled, but Qi Ning hugged him very closely, and said in a low voice: "With Aunt Mei in her arms, who still has the heart to think about other women?" I'm just a little curious about the origins of those musicians. ”

Chi Danmei stopped writhing, let Qi Ning hug her, and wondered: "Do you suspect that they are coming from the wrong way?" ”

"I don't know what to say." Qi Ning pondered for a moment before saying, "Maybe it's just that I'm thinking too much, just help me pay attention." ”

Chi Danmei chuckled lightly and said, "What if you don't come in the right way?" Could it be that they entered the palace to assassinate the emperor? Your little emperor is greedy for wine, and he is not a good emperor, even if he is stabbed? ”

Qi Ning shook his head and said: "As soon as the emperor dies, the Chu State will be in chaos, and only the common people will suffer at that time. ”

"Don't take the kindness I was talking about." Chi Danmei chuckled, "The emperor is not dead, the world is not chaotic, what does it have to do with me?" Staring at Qi Ning's eyes, he smiled and said, "It's just that since you begged your aunt, your aunt will be merciful and help you keep an eye on those musicians." Little villain, how can you thank me for helping you like this? ”

Qi Ning didn't say a word, he suddenly held Chi Danmei's pretty face, kissed Chi Danmei's lips, Chi Danmei struggled with "woo", finally broke free, and was about to hit him when he raised his hand, but Qi Ning stretched out his face, closed his eyes, Chi Danmei was angry and funny, and said in a low voice: "I'll clean you up next time, little bastard, don't get out of here." ”

Qi Ning also knew that if the time was too long, it would make people suspicious, so he was reluctant to part with Chi Danmei, Fan Dehai had been waiting, and he didn't ask much, and went out of the palace.

Qi Ning entered the palace this time, although there was a slight gap with the little emperor, but the harvest was still not small, the little emperor only said that the affairs of the criminal department were handed over to Qi Ning to take care of, which was also allowed to allow Qi Ning to deal with Da Xichong's case, Qi Ning inevitably had a long night of dreams, and when he returned to the criminal department that day, he set a case with Chu Mingwei and others.

According to the law of the Criminal Department, not only must the officials be dismissed from office, but also escorted to the execution ground to be executed, Qi Ning simply and neatly, signed the death sentence, and set the day of execution.

Da Xichong has been in the Criminal Department for more than ten years, which can be said to be deep-rooted, but as soon as Qi Ning came to power, within a few days, he pulled out the big tree of the Criminal Department.

Three days later, Da Xichong and Cao Sen were escorted to the execution ground, Qi Ning thought at first that Sima Lan might make an obstacle and find something to come about, but from beginning to end, Sima Lan did not move, until the day Da Xichong was beheaded, Sima Lan did not make the slightest move.

After Da Xichong and Cao Sen subjugated the law, Qi Ning had already established a prestige in the Criminal Department, although for the time being, Qi Ning was not familiar with the affairs of the various departments of the Criminal Department, but no one in the Criminal Department dared to slack off in front of the little marquis.

What made Qi Ning happy was not that he quickly controlled the Criminal Department in a short period of time, but that after Dou Kui of the household department disposed of the property of the Huainan Royal Mansion as promised before, he immediately pulled out 800,000 taels of silver and handed them to the Black Scale Battalion, and pulled out another 1 million taels of silver as military pay and sent them to the front line.

Dou Kui has been in the Criminal Department for many years, and he is familiar with this set of cars, and it is quite secretive, Dou Kui also knows that he has become a thorn in the side of Sima's side, and the only way to save his life is to hold on to Jinyihou's thigh, in order to win the trust of the little marquis, even if it is to take risks, it is not hesitant.

As the highest official of the empire's finances, Dou Kui naturally has his own set of extremely secret networks in the business world, and he is very good at handling the loopholes left by the accounts, otherwise it would not be possible to sit firmly in the position of the head of the household department for so many years. He followed the king of Huainan at the beginning, and as a capable officer under the king of Huainan, he was naturally the target of Sima's attack, but Sima's had no way to find out his financial handle, which also showed his sophistication in handling accounts.

The property confiscated from the Huainan Palace, entered into the account of the household is more than 2 million taels of silver, and secretly extracted 1 million taels of silver, according to the previous agreement with Qi Ning, of which 800,000 taels of silver entered Qi Ning's pocket, and Dou Kui left 200,000 taels of silver as hardship expenses.

800,000 taels of silver is a lot of money, of course Qi Ning will not be included in the accounts of the Marquis of Jinyi Mansion in a grand manner, fortunately he still has Yuan Rong in his hands, Yuan Rong is good friends with the disciples of several wealthy gentry in Jiangnan, and Qi Ning was also kind to those people at the beginning, through Yuan Rong's line, 800,000 taels of silver quickly entered a secret bank, plus the silver taels after the secret treasure confiscated from the Huainan Wangfu Buddha Hall was transferred, Qi Ning has more than three million taels of silver in the hidden bank.

In less than a month, Qi Ning had a few million taels of silver in his hand, which was a very pleasant thing for anyone.

And from beginning to end, Qi Ning was not involved, everything was handled by other people, and after the huge amount of silver entered the secret bank, except for Qi Ning, no one could mobilize a tael of silver in Qi Ning's account, and absolutely no one could find the loopholes in any of the accounts of this bank.

This time the secret operation was clean and neat, and almost no traces were left, but Qi Ning knew that there was no absolute saying in this world, if someone really chased the property of King Huainan, it may not be impossible to find out a clue, but for Qi Ning, this is not a big problem.

Qi Ning has long left room for a long time, starting from the seizure of the Huainan Palace, every step is cautious, although in the end he obtained a large amount of silver, but the Jinyi Marquis Mansion did not leave any handle, and although he used Dou Kui, he did not trust Dou Kui, and naturally did not leave any handle for Dou Kui.

Even if this incident happened, it could only be Dou Kui who pushed it forward, and there was no evidence that could touch Qi Ning's body, the only thing that might be problematic was Qi Ning's secret deposit in the bank, but Qi Ning knew that the huge underground power was enough to ensure that this money bank was as stable as Mount Tai.

There are always some unshakable forces in this world, and the underground-money bank belongs to one of them.

And this incident, although there are not many people involved, but there are a lot of yamen involved, Yuan Rong is behind the Ministry of Rites, behind Dou Kui is the Ministry of Households, and he is in charge of the Punishment Department, under the whole world, even if it is the power of the Sima clan, I am afraid that I will not dare to tear my face directly with such a force.

Since the reconstruction, the Black Scale Battalion has never received such a huge amount of money from the household department, 800,000 taels of silver, which is enough for the Black Scale Battalion to quickly purchase a large number of high-quality war horses, and it has also rapidly improved in terms of equipment, this is the only controllable military force in Qi Ning's hands, and it is naturally a very pleasant thing for Qi Ning to be able to quickly improve the combat power of the Black Scale Battalion.

Having money can make ghosts grind, and having more silver can naturally greatly improve the combat power of the Black Scale Battalion, which has been training hard.

In addition, Qi Ning did not forget the existence of the night ghost, Qi Ning collected the gray crow and asked him to secretly form a secret force, which of course is also a very expensive thing, but fortunately, the little marquis now has enough silver taels to make this dark force grow rapidly.

Justice is not in the hearts of the people, right and wrong are about strength, Qi Ning has never forgotten the essence of this sentence!
