Ji Ning took Yu Ling back to the mansion and put down the thirty-six taels of silver, Yu Ling looked at the silver and was excited, hugged Ji Ning for a long time and said a few words: "Young master, you are so good!" ”

"Now you know mine, okay? Little girl, remember to serve me well in the future and be the most well-behaved little girl around me, okay? Ji Ning said with a smile.

"Okay, young master, I'm afraid that you will dislike the slave and the maid in the future and will not do things, so you will throw the slave and the maid away. Young master, don't throw away the slave maid, the slave and maid are not very sensible, and they always cause trouble for you, but the slave and maid only have the young master in their hearts. Yu Ling's little face was full of grievances, and her eyes were full of affection when she looked at Ji Ning.

"Okay, put everything away, that's your stuff, and it will be your dowry in the future, okay?" Ji Ning said.

Yu Ling pouted and said: "Don't want it, the silver money was obtained by the young master for the slave maid, it is the young master's, and the slave and maid use the money to help supplement the family of the Ji Mansion, okay?" ”

"No need, there is no shortage of this bit of silver at home, you better take it!" Ji Ning said, patting Yu Ling's back, "You go and tidy up, it's not too early, it's time to prepare dinner, I'm going to go to the Mid-Mountain Residence tomorrow, you go and help me clean up first!" ”

"Okay young master, you rest first, and the slave and maid will go." Yu Ling slipped away.

Ji Ning returned to the room, took out the oracle bone inscription he had written, carefully studied the words on it, and still couldn't understand the deep meaning, in thinking about it, he felt that his spiritual power had a subtle change, just when he felt a little troubled, suddenly a purple breath was generated from his body.

It was a very peculiar breath, Ji Ning felt that this breath was very warm and could be controlled by his spiritual power, but as for this breath was just a kind of righteous qi, or if it was as lethal as qigong, he couldn't tell the difference.

"Go!" Ji Ning tried to channel this breath, and sent it out, and the purple aura hit the table.

Hearing the sound of "boom", the purple breath actually made a hole in the table, the sound was deafening, and Ji Ning didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

In the Confucian world as he knows, although Wenqi can be used to communicate with heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, it cannot be used in actual combat.

"Young Master, are you alright?" Yu Ling was originally in the side yard, and when he heard a sound, he hurried over to check.

Ji Ning shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay, the table ...... I accidentally knocked me over. ”

Yu Ling looked at the hole in the table, and couldn't believe that the table was a big hole because it had been knocked down. Yu Ling said: "Young Master, this table ...... Is it so unsturdy, go back to Carpenter Sun to theorize, what kind of broken table is he doing! ”

Ji Ning didn't say anything more, and asked Yu Ling to prepare dinner.

……

……

In the evening, Ji Ning had just bathed and was ready to rest early, so that he could go to Mid-Mountain House early in the morning to meet Shen Kang, tell Shen Kang the news of his Zhongjieyuan, and thank Shen Kang for teaching him by the way.

But before he could fall asleep, there was a noise at the door, He An came to Ji Ning's study, and said, "Young master, the situation outside is not quite right, a government messenger came, saying that there is a case related to you!" ”

"What case? What about the township test? Ji Ning frowned and thought, the bribery case has passed, and now that the name of the document has been decided, and Princess Wenren has also returned to the capital, how can he still be involved?

But Ji Ning thought of another question, don't let the Chongwang Mansion design kill Princess Wenren is revealed, the matter may involve him.

Ji Ning got dressed and went out of the courtyard, and saw those yacha who had seen in the word flower stall during the day waiting.

"Ji Jieyuan, are you resting in peace? Over here...... It's a little thing, I want to come and ask you, don't be surprised! ”

Because Ji Ning is a man of high social status, he can even sit on an equal footing when he sees the prefect, and these officials dare not take verbal offense.

Ji Ning nodded and said, "Tell me something straight." ”

"That's right." Yacha said, "During the day, you follow ...... There is a certain dispute between the unscrupulous traders in the city, and the gangsters in the market who are called Tianye have a certain dispute, which happened to be encountered by a few brothers, I heard that your problem has been successfully resolved, and the matter should have come to an end, but today, Tianye was killed for no reason. This kind of gangster in the market, there are a lot of people who complain on weekdays, and the matter must have nothing to do with Xie Yuangong, we just came to ask as usual! ”

"Oh. It turned out to be God's business. Ji Ning nodded.

God died suddenly, which also surprised Ji Ning, he saw people who were still alive during the day, and they died at night, he knew that he had nothing to do with this matter, but he was not sure, maybe someone wanted to kill God and frame him?

Yacha said: "Ji Jieyuan, Governor Li personally inquired about this matter, and even Governor Li knew that you had a conflict with God, why don't you come with us to Tianye's hall and inquire in person, if it's okay, we will send you back?" ”

"Okay." Ji Ning didn't want to pay attention to it, but thinking that now that he has become a suspect, it is better to walk around as usual, so as not to be suspected of being a thief, "Please lead the way!" ”

"You don't need to lead the way, we have prepared a sedan chair for you, how many of you still want to bring the sedan chair prepared for Xie Yuangong?"

Yacha was very polite, and carried the sedan chair over, Ji Ning waved his hand and said, "No need, I am still used to walking." ”

Ji Ning always had doubts about the intentions of these yachas, and for the sake of safety, he still asked He An to follow, so that he could take care of everything.

The party arrived at the door of the word flower stall where Ji Ning went before, even if it was the second watch, there were still many people who came out to watch, the lights were bright, the yacha was trying their best to maintain order, and there were some people from the prefect's yamen inside, including the prefect and the hall official, Ji Ning walked over and reported his name, even if he was a suspect, those yacha also treated him with respect.

In the law of the Great Yong Dynasty, it is basic to kill people to pay for their lives, but if a person kills a civilian, he does not need to be guilty of a capital crime, he can use silver to redeem his crime, and at most he is sentenced to exile, and after a few years of exile, he can come back, and not only will he not be charged with a crime, but he can continue to be an official.

Therefore, in the Great Yong Dynasty, lifting people still has a very high social status, others have to hide when they see lifting people, if they are killed by lifting people who are not pleasing to the eye, then they are unlucky, and they don't have to pay for their lives.

There are even some homicide cases, just because the murderer is a person with meritorious reputation, even if it is an iron case, in the end, he can only be atoned for by paying a little silver, and the murderer can get away with it, and others cannot talk about it.

"This is Ji Jieyuan? Governor Li has been waiting inside for a long time, you don't have to worry, just ask questions as usual, and after asking you, you can go back to rest. A person who looked like an official came over and saluted, and escorted Ji Ning into the inner hall.
