A servant walked briskly into the study and saluted.

Cheng Ran stood up and asked, "Who is beating the drum outside the hall?" ”

"My lord, it's Dingguo Gong!"

Cheng Ran looked puzzled.

Dingguo Gong?

Could it be that the cousin in the house went missing?

But he has sent more men to search the city, why did this old man beat the drum again?

At this time, I heard the official say: "Dingguo Gongyan, the cousin girl in the house has been found, and I am here to ask the adult to uphold justice!" ”

Cheng Ran's complexion changed slightly.

has been found, but he is still asked to administer justice, and it is Dingguo Gong who personally led people to beat the drum overnight...... I'm afraid that the cousin girl was not found unharmed!

He has not set such a precedent for opening the court overnight, but the Dingguo Mansion is not such a family that does not know the importance of the matter, even if this is the case, it must be because of the urgency of the situation.

Yes, Cheng Ran immediately said: "Ascend to the hall!" ”

He immediately went back to his room to change his robes.

It's okay if he doesn't go back, but this time it's even angrier - the old lady who had a big quarrel with him is already asleep!

Hehe, he is the only one who is so angry that he can't sleep?

is also angry, she is asleep, but he has to deal with official work overnight to earn money for her to spend!

It's really infuriating to him!

Master Cheng went to the front hall with a dissatisfied face.

In the hall, Dingguo Gong had been invited in, and when he saw Cheng Ran, he raised his hand and gave a salute.

"The old man brought someone to disturb him late at night, don't be surprised by Lord Wangcheng."

Ding Guogong's tone was solemn, and there seemed to be frost on his face.

"The country's words are serious, and the so-called urgency is to obey the power." Cheng Ran asked: "I just heard that the cousin girl of your mansion has been found, I don't know why Guogong came to beat the drum again?" ”

"The old man wants to sue the Ning family for bribing the people in my house, deliberately abducting his granddaughter, and seriously injuring her!"

Dingguo Gong waved his hand: "The paper and confession are here, please take a look!" ”

Cheng Ran's expression changed greatly when he heard this.

Ningjia ...... It's the Ning family again.

Now when he hears this surname, he feels a headache and even wants to curse.

Cheng Ran read the paper very quickly, and was terrified.

The cousin girl of the Dingguo Mansion was seriously injured and was thrown in Qingshui Lane, and was found by a well-wisher and sent back to the Dingguo Mansion-

At the foot of the world, the noble daughter of the family......

The other party is so rampant that it is simply outrageous.

"The dog has led people to guard near Qingshui Lane, and I ask the adults to send someone to collect evidence as soon as possible."

Cheng Ran nodded and immediately ordered.

"This is the nurse of the cousin girl of your mansion who was bought by the Ning family?" Cheng Ran put down the pleadings and confessions, and looked at the woman who was tied and kneeling on the ground.

"Lord Hui, exactly."

Cheng Ran clenched his fists, and finally said: "Come on, quickly go to the Ning Mansion to summon the fourth master of the Ning family, and order him to come to the yamen to confront him!" ”

Anyway, the relationship between him and the Ning family has already been settled, and he doesn't care about this matter anymore.

And this matter is bad, he has no reason to turn a blind eye, since sooner or later there will be a decision, it is better to end it quickly.

He Cheng Ran can sit firmly in this chair, and he is never timid.

but integrity and integrity, never bending the law for personal gain, and - the current Queen Mother is his cousin.

Ahem, of course, the reason for the latter is small and small.

After all, he is a very low-key person, and the Queen Mother has too many nephews.

Seeing that he was so decisive, Dingguo raised his hand and gave another salute.

It's just that the official went for nearly two hours.

Because Ning Linfeng was not in the house, the yacha found someone in a brothel after several inquiries.

And when the servant arrived, he was beating a man with his servants, and the man was beaten so that his face was covered with blood, and he kept begging for mercy, but no one dared to stop him.

He was not summoned from the yamen, and he refused to come to the yamen to confront him.

After a yacha rushed back to the yamen first and made the matter clear, Cheng Ran couldn't help but be angry.

The Ning family is constantly causing trouble, but few people dare to sue the yamen, as the so-called people do not raise officials and do not hold accountable, even if he wants to take care of it, but he has no way to start.

However, the Dajing law strictly prohibits prostitutes for officials, and this alone can order someone to lock him up in the yamen today to ask for guilt, and reach heaven to hear it!

Half an hour later, Ning Linfeng was escorted over.

He was full of alcohol, and after seeing the people in the hall, he actually sneered.

He had already heard on the road that he, the former father-in-law, had personally beaten the drum and complained to him overnight.

It is said that the family is the most decent, according to him, but that's it.

"My lord, I will never admit guilt if I haven't done anything under the officials."

He said in a sarcastic tone, looking at Mother Lu, who was kneeling on the ground: "As for this lowly person, the lower officials have never seen it, so how can I buy it." ”

Ding Guogong's eyes seemed to be frozen.

What is the biological father, as long as he still has a trace of affection for Jing'er, he will not be able to change his face after hearing that Jing'er is injured.

From this point of view, the injury on Jing'er's face is inseparable from him nine times out of ten!

Ning Linfeng sneered in his heart.

The daughter born to that slut was not close to him at all, and he bit him last time, and his little freshness and patience had long been worn out!

Mother Lu looked excited: "Fourth Master Ning can't see what happened, so he won't admit it!" ”

She knew very well that if she couldn't identify Ning Linfeng today, after being taken back to the Dingguo Mansion, the fate waiting for her would only be even more terrifying.

With Cheng Ran's permission, she recounted the story in detail.

Including the first few times I took the child and Ning Linfeng to see each other, and how much benefit I received from the other party, it was all clear.

Ning Linfeng's face gradually changed, and he quietly clenched his fists.

At this time, the officials who were sent out to find clues turned back one after another.

"My lord, after investigation, Miss Dingguo Mansion was indeed injured and was deliberately sent back to Qingshui Lane."

"In the backyard of Ning Mansion, the subordinates and others found unwiped blood stains from inside a carriage."

"This thing was also found in the backyard of Ningfu - after being inspected by the prince of Dingguo, it can be seen that it is the personal belongings of the girl of the princess of Dingguo."

Ding Guogong looked at the Yingluo ring with a golden lock, and his face changed again.

This is exactly what Jing'er wears all the time!

Today, Jing'er was really deceived into going to Ning Mansion!

"Without the emperor's will, you dare to search the official's mansion without permission!" Ning Linfeng was furious.

"Fourth Master Ning is serious, it can't be called a search, but when Fourth Master Ning was summoned, it happened that you were not in the courtyard, so I could only take someone to look for it in your mansion." The official at the head said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Those evidences were all discovered by chance when I was looking for the fourth master of Ning. ”

Fuck the stumbling discovery!

Ning Linfeng scolded in his heart.

"This is a deliberate slander against me!" He defended: "Jing'er is my biological daughter, I, I don't have time to hurt her, how can I be so cruel to her!" ”

Cheng Ran was noncommittal when he heard this, looked at Mother Lu, and asked, "Since you have had private contact with the fourth master of the Ning family several times, do you know what his attitude is towards the cousin of the Duke of the Mansion?" ”

In some cases, even if there is human and material evidence, out of prudence, he will not let go of a trace of details.

It is often the subtleties that make it easier to get a glimpse of the truth.

Even if he was indeed dissatisfied with the Ning family, he would not hastily convict Ning Linfeng.

And if there is a discernment, there must be a refutation, this is common sense.

"When you ask you, you tell the truth!" Seeing that Lu's mother was hesitant, Ding Guogong scolded in a deep voice.

Mother Lu was ruthless, and finally told the truth-
