Chapter 30: Father-Daughter Dispute

"It turned out to be Commander Liu! Thanks a lot! Commander Liu is patrolling the city? Xu Mengmeng silently withdrew his left hand, pretended to straighten out his clothes, and looked at the young man who came to the rescue.

"Well, when I went to this vicinity, I happened to hear the sound of a fight here, so I brought someone over to take a look, but I didn't want to meet someone to assassinate General Ning! By the way, is General Ning injured? Liu Yi explained with a light smile.

"Fortunately, Lord Liu came in time, and Ning was only slightly injured, so it was fine! It was getting late, and Lord Liu was also busy with official business, so Ning took his leave first! By the way, I bother Lord Liu to send someone to send these assassins to the Criminal Department, and when Ning is free, he will invite Lord Liu to have a meal to repay Lord Liu's life-saving grace! Xu Mengmengpi said with a smile.

"Not long ago, when General Ning did not return, it was rumored that the general had the appearance of a celestial man, and recently it was widely rumored that the general's appearance was far inferior to Zhiyong, Liu was really curious about this, so don't blame the general!"

After Liu Yi finished speaking, the look of inquiry in his eyes flashed, and his right hand stretched out like lightning, attacking the mask on Xu Mengmeng's face.

"Commander Liu, as the saying goes, hitting people doesn't slap people in the face, exposing people doesn't expose shortcomings, although Ning is very grateful to the commander for saving him just now, it doesn't mean that he doesn't mind your insult to the subordinates!"

Fortunately, although Liu Yi had just saved her, Xu Mengmeng had always been wary of this person and avoided it in time, so he couldn't get his wish, otherwise it would be impossible to explain it today.

Although he didn't let Liu Yi get a glimpse of her true face as he wished, Xu Mengmeng was still frightened into a cold sweat by his actions just now, and his originally polite tone suddenly cooled down.

"Don't be angry, the general is overstepping!" Liu Yi didn't care about Xu Mengmeng's suddenly cold face, but his mouth was full of self-blame. This Ning Jun is really as vigilant as the master said, is the appearance behind this mask really ugly or is it disguised?

"It's getting late, so Ning said goodbye!" Xu Mengmeng knew that this person was definitely suspicious of his appearance, so he coldly dropped this sentence and turned to leave.

Visits? Hear the sound of a fight? This Liu Yi really thinks that he is a martial artist who doesn't know anything! It's sending killers and saving people, do you want to let yourself continue to investigate or don't you want to?

That's it, no matter what kind of cow ghost snake god he is, the old lady will serve him a pot!

"General, are you injured?"

"Well, I met a couple of killers on the way back!" Xu Mengmeng explained casually.

"Later, the general will go out and take me with you!" Akabane said undeniably while bandaging Xu Mengmeng.

"It's okay, someone wants to kill me, then someone wants to protect me!"

"Who saved you?"

"Forbidden Army Commander Liu Yi"

"The people of the Seven Princes?"

"Perhaps!"

The next day, before Xu Mengmeng left the house, he heard the report from the people below that he was assassinated last night, and the emperor was furious this morning, and asked the Criminal Department to find out the military supply as soon as possible.

This Liu Yi is really not that simple! It seems that the man behind him is either unrelated to the matter and intends to watch a good show; Or maybe it's a bigger game, and you plan to get rid of a fierce rival with your own hands! In that case, let's see the show for yourself first! By the way, let's also see which camp the people from the Criminal Department are from?

Lee House

"Miss, Miss, no! The slave maid just went out to listen to many people in the mansion talking about General Ning's assassination last night! ”

"What? Ning Jun was assassinated last night, so was he injured? As soon as Li Muqing heard the news, her face turned a little pale in shock.

"Well, I heard that General Ning was seriously injured, and now he is still lying in bed and I don't know if he is alive or dead! In the early dynasties, the emperor was very angry about this! Chunhong said a little nervously.

"No, I'm going to see him, Chunhong, you hurry up and find a way to take the people guarding the side door away, I'll pack up and sneak out!" Li Muqing stood in place and was anxious.

"But the master said that if the slave maid lets you out again, he will sell the slave maid, miss, if you don't go out, the slave maid will help you find out the news of General Tanning!"

"Oh, why do you care so much when it's over, if Dad betrays you, I will naturally stop him! Yes, bring that cloak with you, and you'll be ...... general in a moment," Li Muqing said as she took out the cloak wrapped in cloth from the box.

"Where are you going?"

"Of course it's going to Ning......" Li Muqing was about to answer, but after realizing that the person asking was his father, he quickly stopped.

"You stay at home for me, and you won't go anywhere without my permission!" Father Li reprimanded sternly.

"But Daddy ......"

"Nothing! You are a woman who has not left the cabinet and runs to other people's men's houses, do you want to be ashamed? General Ning was injured, and he had his own imperial doctor to treat him, what are you going to do? Besides, you have reached a date this year, after the Queen Mother's birthday, your mother will look at others for you, you sneaked out today, how will your future husband's family look at you? ”

"Dad, you know what I like......"

"Shut up, no matter how good he Ning Jun is, he can't be your lover!"

"Why? Don't you really admire him? Li Muqing's eyes widened in disbelief.

"I admire him, but it doesn't mean that I agree with you marrying him! Ning Jun has a heavy army, and the princes of the court and China are fighting day by day, he will inevitably be involved, my Li family has been clear for generations, and it is impossible for him to bury his long-term reputation and future! ”

Father Li originally had no opinion that his daughter liked Ning Jun, after all, he didn't think that his daughter's character could be seen by such an excellent young man, but he didn't expect that his daughter had fallen into a deep depression, and he didn't expect that Ning Jun had already been involved in the struggle of the princes not long after he returned to Beijing. Since ancient times, there has been a good end for anyone who has participated in the battle for storage positions!

"Fame? Future? That's all you have in your eyes, why did you ever care about my feelings? is also the child of a first-class minister, he Wang Zhiwei is rampant and domineering in the capital, and his father will help him settle everything without saying anything, but what about you?

Every time I am either scolded or punished, even if I do something good, you always feel that I have lost your face! Now I'm just in love with someone, and for the sake of your reputation, you're going to force me to marry someone else! What am I in your heart? Li Muqing roared with tears streaming down her face.

"You're unreasonable! Come on, show me Miss, if she dares to sneak away, I'll break your legs! Father Li was so angry that he threw his sleeves away directly, leaving Li Muqing lying on the table and crying.

Ninh House

"Gu Xuan, how's it going? What's going on on the Criminal Department? ”

"Yes, according to the investigation of the Criminal Department, it was learned that the armaments raised by Zhou Yu, the squire of the Ministry of War, for the border pass were the same as what we received, and he knew about this in advance, but he was not greedy for the silver taels of money to raise armaments, and even the officials of the Ministry of War privately took a lot of their own money to raise armaments, otherwise the armaments issued would only be worse!"

"So, their military department is not only not responsible, but also meritorious?"

"Theoretically, it does!"

"It's not the problem of the Ministry of War, is it the Ministry of Households?"

"Yes and no"

"What do you mean?"

"The emperor once ordered that 30% of this year's tax revenue be used for armaments, and the household department has indeed allocated 30% to the military department!"

"Impossible, before the Western Chu came to commit the crime this year, there were neither natural disasters nor disasters in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it was a good year, how could thirty percent of the tax revenue not be enough?" How can it be enough to make 500,000 sets of winter clothes that cost only two or three taels of silver? Xu Mengmeng never believed that the military department and the household department were all right.

"This is also the incomprehension of the people in the Criminal Department today!"

"Prepare the horse, I'm going to go to the household department to see it myself!"

"But the general, your injury ......" Gu Xuan was a little eager to say something, didn't the general let people say that he was seriously injured, and now he has only been alive for two days, is it really good?

"Oh, I almost forgot, get the carriage ready! By the way, I went to the household department to let people go to the branch of the criminal department! ”

"General Ning is here! I heard that the general was assassinated a few days ago, is his wound better now? Xu Mengmeng just got off the carriage with the support of Gu Xuan, and Qi Shuhong, the head of the household, brought someone to greet him.
