Zhang Hua came to threaten Ji Ning, seemingly thinking that Ji Ning might use some methods to help the local family, and wanted to block Ji Ning's signs in this regard.

Zhang Hua continued: "Master Ji, your Ji family is not guilty now, the official has come forward and run for it, and it is also for the sake of your Master Ji's face, but if you still want other families to follow you out of trouble, that is to be the enemy of the imperial court, although the imperial court is not the same system as the Confucian Temple, but many things are advancing and retreating together, if you continue to be obsessed, don't blame the official for being ruthless." ”

"Then how is the prefect going to be ruthless?" Ji Ning asked with a smile.

Zhang Hua walked over and threatened in a low voice: "If Bachelor Ji didn't do anything to endanger the imperial court, it is true that he will not be punished by the imperial court, but if there is any dead body in Bachelor Ji's mansion, or if someone finds evidence of Bachelor Ji's fornication with Fanbang, then the official will not sit idly by...... Once Bachelor Ji is removed from the Temple of Literature, dare to ask if Bachelor Ji has the ability to escape from the prison of the Criminal Department? ”

These words are no longer threats, but intimidation.

actually used an illegal means to intimidate the scholars of the Confucian Temple, Ji Ning thought to himself, this Zhang Hua is really bold, and Ji Ning also knows that he has to do something.

He thought to himself: "Although the new emperor has ascended the throne now, it is obvious that the government has been controlled by those powerful ministers, and even local affairs have begun to be controlled by these people...... The hostile forces in the DPRK are also too powerful. ”

Zhang Hua saw that Ji Ning was silent, and thought that Ji Ning was shocked by him, and he said, "Master Ji should know how to do it, right?" ”

Ji Ning smiled and said: "I understand some of it, but there are also things I don't understand, Governor Zhang can rest assured, the people in my Confucian Temple should naturally know what to do and what not to do...... If Governor Zhang is still not at ease, he can send someone to supervise this matter. ”

"No need!" Zhang Hua said proudly, "Now that the rebel families in the entire Jinling City have basically been investigated, the next step is to gradually eliminate these families, as long as you Ji Ning don't interfere in this matter!" ”

At this time, he no longer called Ji Ning Bachelor, but greeted Ji Ning's name, which was already very polite.

Ji Ning knew that this Zhang Hua was also too arrogant, such a person was obviously a cool official, and those forces in the court sent a cool official like him to a place, obviously trying to use this person's cruelty and ruthlessness to solve the problems of the local eunuch family.

From this point of view, the choice of the imperial court power is not wrong, and this person may really help those families to complete the task at hand.

After Zhang Hua finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, as if he was saying to Ji Ning, if you dare to mess around, let you end up like those families, I won't reason with you, and I will even use some murderous and arson methods to let you know that it is powerful.

It's not as simple as letting you die, or even letting you be ruined and then tortured to death by me.

Such a person is also very dangerous in Ji Ning's opinion.

……

……

After Zhang Hua left, Ji Ning didn't have much anger, and he didn't resent Zhang Hua or anything.

In his opinion, Zhang Hua is just doing things for others, this person can be said to be very strong in terms of work ability, even to the point of unscrupulous means, this is a very role, in fact, Ji Ning still has a little appreciation for this person.

But on the other hand, Ji Ning is also happy to meet such an opponent, at least no longer the kind of opponent who is completely vulnerable.

"Master, Governor Zhang also left some gifts, saying that they are for you, do you want to take a look?" He An said to Ji Ning after he came back.

Ji Ning shook his head and said, "Any gift is just that he wants me to ignore the local family's return for the time being, but this is too little for me, thinking that a few hundred taels of silver can send me away?" If I save a family, I may be able to get tens of thousands of taels or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which is really not proportional to the point he gave. ”

He An said: "But master, after all, they are people from the local government, if they mess around, I'm afraid it's not easy for the lord to deal with it, and there are not many people around the lord." ”

Ji Ning nodded and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter for the time being, prepare a few water tanks at home, fill them with water, prevent water from going away, and I will make detailed arrangements when I go back." ”

Ji Ning was afraid that someone would come to the house and set fire, so he simply prepared first, and he had to arrange it in secret first, so as not to cause any changes.

After arranging these, Ji Ning left the Ji Mansion, he was not going to spend the night in the Ji Mansion, he also had to go to see Nalan Blowing Snow and Shangguan Wan'er, although there were not many helpers around him, but there were these two martial arts masters to become his right and left hands, and there were actually a lot of things that these two people could help themselves do.

Ji Ning temporarily placed Nalan Blowing Snow in a small residence in the city, and when Ji Ning opened the door and entered inside, Nalan Blowing Snow was still resting.

Nalan Blowing Snow is a typical person who goes out at night, usually in the afternoon, she will definitely rest, but Ji Ning usually doesn't come over to disturb her at this time.

Ji Ning pushed open the door and went inside, Nalan Chuixue was actually unaware, and she subconsciously told herself that this person was no threat to herself, and after Ji Ning sat there for a long time, Nalan Chuixue suddenly woke up, she picked up the long sword at the head of the bed, and asked, "Who?" ”

"Who do you think it could be?" Ji Ning drank a cup of tea, or cold tea, looked sideways at Nalan Blowing Snow and asked.

Nalan Fuxue put down the long sword at this time, and she was still a little dissatisfied: "Came in quietly, how did you get in......"

"Seeing that you slept soundly, I didn't bother you, when I came in, it was already dark, and I saw that you slept very comfortably......" Saying that, Ji Ning lit the candlestick on the table, so that there was finally some light in the room, but Nalan Chuixue herself is a person who likes darkness and loneliness, and she still avoids light.

Ji Ning said: "I still want to ask you, are you used to living after returning to Jinling City, depending on the situation, you should be very used to it?" ”

"No, it's still a little awkward, not as comfortable as before." Nalan Fuxue stretched and said, "I'm hungry, I want to prepare some food, do you want to come with me?" ”

Ji Ning smiled bitterly: "If you have time, you still cook by yourself, as a woman, you should also learn some things that women should learn!" ”
