Ji Ning has never explained to anyone the reasons why he is involved in some court affairs, because he feels that there is no need to explain, many things are carried out in secret, and it is impossible for others to know.

But what kind of person is Qi Niang, she is the prince's doorman, the prince who defected to the prince with some kind of alien Anbang purpose in her heart, she has investigated far more things than others, Tang Jie, Han Yu and others don't know, Qi Niang can know, this is where Qi Niang's magical powers are vast.

Qi Niang pondered for a long time, and finally she said with a slight bow: "Ji Gongzi's explanation seems to be reasonable, and the concubine does not dare to question it!" ”

Ji Ning sighed: "In fact, there are many turbulent things in the court, and I will never become an official in the next future, but about the matter of my father, I will still investigate it to the end." In addition, there are still some personal grievances with the people in the DPRK and China, which need to be resolved! ”

The "personal grievances" he said were talking about Zhang Hong and Zhang Linwu.

No one even knew about it, and he didn't even need to explain anything to Qi Niang.

Qi Niang said: "Then the concubine misunderstood Ji Gongzi before, since Ji Gongzi is involved in the court affairs with a purpose, if there is a chance, the concubine is willing to cooperate with Ji Gongzi!" ”

Ji Ning smiled and said, "Qi Niang, is this going to prepare to become an ally in Xiazhan?" ”

"The concubine is just a cloth cloth, and she is only because she is doing some small business, and she has some silver on hand, but she is by no means a big businessman who is rich and rivals the country, and she is not qualified to climb with Ji Gongzi! The concubine also heard that Ji Gongzi had some dealings with Jia Qin Yuanyuan, a big businessman in Jinling City, but I don't know if this is true? Qi Niang asked tentatively.

Ji Ning secretly thought: "This woman checked me out of the door, which means that she has been eyeing me now, and fortunately, she is now 'honest' with her, if I don't make it clear to her, maybe she will attack me next." Even so, I have to guard against her, and if she takes the initiative, I will be very disadvantaged! ”

"Yes, there is such a thing!" Ji Ning said, "I am not familiar with Qin Dangjia in Xia, but I was close to her before, mainly related to the opening of the academy!" ”

"Ji Gongzi can actually say that since he is an ally, there is no need to shy away from some things, just like Qin Yuanyuan, she is the person of the Five Princes, and it is also Li Guifei who sent her to Jiangnan, and has been doing business in Jiangnan for many years, and she also used the marriage of some big families, and then secretly killed the man she married, so that she inherited a lot of property, Li Guifei's move is very vicious, but it is undeniable that Qin Yuanyuan has the ability to accumulate a lot of wealth for the Five Princes in a short period of time. Let the five princes become the ones who can argue with the prince! ”

Qi Niang said, "But Qin Yuanyuan is also a restless person who guards herself, she also understands the truth of rabbit death and dog cooking, now the more power she has, she must make friends with some courtiers, and then find some capable wise men to help her, she is close to Ji Gongzi, more because she wants to use Ji Gongzi, she is not well-intentioned!" ”

Ji Ning smiled and nodded, regarding Qi Niang's evaluation of Qin Yuanyuan, Ji Ning also agreed with it.

In his fancy, Qin Yuanyuan is such a mercenary person, his appreciation, and some investments are also completely for the sake of getting returns, and the purpose is not pure.

Ji Ning asked rhetorically: "What about the purpose of Qi Niang's approach?" ”

Qi Niang said with a smile: "The concubine has seen many celebrities and gentlemen in the court, if you talk about temperament, there are also unique abilities, which can make the concubine admire, it is really rare, and Ji Gongzi is the best." Although Ji Gongzi does not have the title of Jinshi now, he is already the Xie Yuan of the Jinling Township Test, and his future is limitless. What's more, Ji Gongzi is in the Temple of Literature, and there is Shigong Shen University as a backer, which is a rock-solid foundation, how can the concubine not pay more attention? ”

When Qi Niang said this, her words and demeanor were also sincere, so Ji Ning couldn't believe it.

But Ji Ning is obviously not so easily persuaded.

"Qi Niang's words are beautiful, so dare to ask Qi Niang, what is the purpose of coming to Shuiyue Xuan today?" Ji Ning said.

Qi Niang didn't answer as cheerfully as before this time, Qi Niang smiled: "The purpose of the concubine coming to Shuiyue Xuan is the same as that of Ji Gongzi!" ”

"You're different from me!" Ji Ning said, "When I came down here, I came here to gather with friends, eat, drink and have fun, and I was talking about friendship. Moreover, I met the lord of Huaizhu by chance, hoping to use some methods to make her realize the cruelty of the world...... As for the third, it is because the Cao family has a certain relationship with the death of his father, and he wants to find out. ”

Qi Niang shook her head and said with a look of disbelief: "Master Ji, if you say this, the concubine will not be believed." You want to investigate the death of Ling Zunweng, saying that it is related to the Cao family, why do you come to ask several female relatives of the Cao family? What can they know? ”

After speaking, Qi Niang looked at Ji Ning, trying to guess Ji Ning's thoughts from Ji Ning's words and deeds.

Ji Ning said very indifferently: "Cao Shangshu has been an official in the court for more than 30 years, and after the former prince was born, he was transferred out, and then he was convicted and died, and the Cao family was basically separated. But where to find it? ”

Qi Niang and Ji Ning looked at each other, and neither of them was convinced.

Ji Ning did not tell Qi Niang frankly in this matter.

The two of them were in the room of Shui Yue Xuan, which was also the place where countless benefactors had good things with the girl of Shui Yue Xuan, but the two of them regarded this place as a place for arguments and negotiations, and it seemed that only this kind of place could no one disturb them.

"Ji Gongzi is for, is it the former prince's thing that Cao Shangshu hid before?" Qi Niang finally asked.

Ji Ning shrugged, that meant as if to say, whatever you want.

Qi Niang sighed: "Since Ji Gongzi refuses to say, then the concubine's body will be broken, Cao Shangshu, as the head of the household, mobilized a lot of grain, grass and materials for the former prince, trying to help the prince usurp the throne, but after the emperor appeared, the so-called prince usurped the throne is just an illusion created by someone in the court, and the prince is really wronged." But since the matter has already happened, even if the emperor regrets it, it will be too late to regret it. The emperor could only make mistakes and punish the ministers who followed the prince, and even Cao Shangshu was assigned to the field as an official, and then he was imprisoned for questioning, as for the prince's former relics, it is said that they were hidden by Cao Shangshu. Can Ji Gongzi know what the prince once hid? ”

Ji Ning asked, "Is Qi Niang going to test me?" ”

"It's not to take the test, but to ask, in fact, the concubine is also very curious, what did the former prince hide at the beginning, which can be coveted by everyone in the world, so that after he became ancient, there are still a large number of people looking for it, can this thing be related to the society of the country, or the authority of the country's fortunes? If these relics are in the hands of the Cao family, then the only person who knows the whereabouts of these relics can only be the Cao woman who is still alive! Qi Niang said.
