Chapter XXXIII Return of the Dowry
"You, you, you get up first. You're dead here, so can I go to your shop and clean up my house? Ning Shangmo kicked open the painting garden, patted his chest undecidedly and said.
The painting garden was also stunned when he heard this, and then he looked up with a melon seed face, blinked his eyes and sighed: "Hey, the time is also fate, you are the eldest lady of the Ning family, naturally you will not remember the villain, and you will not remember that the villain and the villain's subordinates were wronged and imprisoned because of you, and now the villain's shop is also a door, if the young lady wants something, go and get it, it is my painting garden that recognizes the wrong person." ”
When it came to going to prison, Ning Shangmo was still relatively weak-hearted, there were too many things that happened that day, she patronized and remembered her grudges and spoke lightly, and in a blink of an eye, she forgot about these men who were pressed into prison......
"Ahem, you get up first, I was also calculated that time, we are all victims, and we should be united." Ning Shangmo asked people to help the painting garden up, poured him a cup of tea, and watched him drink it slowly, Ning Shangmo said with some embarrassment: "Childe came over this time, is there something wrong?" Listen to the next person, you seem to know about Princess Tuoba? ”
Huayuan glanced at Ning Shangmo sadly, and Ning Shangmo quickly put aside his eyes and stopped looking at him.
Seeing this, the painting garden had no choice but to say: "I came here this time because of this incident. ”
That day, Ming said that he was getting married, but he was in prison in front of Leng Qingrong's stinky face. Although his store did have things to check, he didn't dare to touch those things, so he went through the motions and walked out.
It's just that although he didn't suffer any pain, but this face is really lost, everyone knows that their small pavilion wants to go to Ning Shangmo's big fat meat, but in the end he steals chickens and rice, and even the dead fat bustard with the Chunfeng Building next door dares to laugh at him, this evil breath can't come out, does he still have a face!
After coming out, he was looking for someone to watch the movements of the Prime Minister's Mansion all the time, and as soon as Ning Shangmo went out, he immediately followed, and it was also the will of God, he really knew a little bit about the princess Tuoba.
"Presumably Miss Ning still remembers the incident of Prime Minister Ming Da envoy to Beimeng three years ago." The painting garden began his story leisurely.
At that time, he was still training in the bitter cold of the frontier, so he knew some things about Northern Mongolia.
"It is said that as soon as the prime minister entered the palace of Beimeng, he saved the life of Princess Tuoba, so the princess fell in love with him at first sight." Hua Yuan said, pulling out a knife from his sleeve: "Ming Yuan used this knife all the time." ”
Ning Shangmo frowned slightly, she and Ming Qingyan grew up together since childhood, Ming Qingyan was seriously ill when he was a child, and he couldn't practice martial arts anymore, his body was no different from a dead person, he hung on his life with precious herbs every day, and ate a lot of deer antler bear's paws, so he barely grew so big, but now he still has to use snake gall bladder, ginseng and other precious medicinal materials to make a special decoction from time to time.
This guy, it's easy for others to kill him, and he has the strength to kill people, and he uses this kind of light and non-hurting knife?
The knife is very light, unless it is a person with deep internal strength, even if it is inserted into the chest with his face, it may not kill anyone.
"What exactly did he do?" Ning Shangmo carefully weighed the knife, and didn't find any hidden compartments in it, which was even more strange.
Huayuan laughed softly, took the knife and threw it on the ground, and then spread his hands and said, "Just kill someone like this." ”
"What?"
"Don't believe it, this murder sometimes doesn't depend on whether you have profound skills, but on the person you killed, whether you want to die." The painting garden stopped at the right time, paused, and spoke as if telling a story: "I know a man who has a heavy burden at home, and his wife is beautiful like a flower, but she is very loyal......"
The man is seriously ill and can no longer work, and he can't bear the hard work of his wife, so he can only beg on the street to support his family, which is very pitiful.
The people of the Northern Mongols have always attached great importance to strength, and have no sympathy for such a person, and even drove him out of the city to beg, and on a snowy night, he met the first and last noble man in his life, and that was a prime minister who went on an envoy.
"The prime minister said that as long as he is willing to die, then he will get a thousand taels of gold, which is enough to ensure that his wife, children and seriously ill mother have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and the man agreed." As he spoke, he rubbed the gemstone ring on his hand, and he smiled regretfully and said, "The man was asked to pretend to be a killer and assassinate the princess, and the result of this request was naturally death, and he confessed everything to his family and died." ”
"And then?"
"And then?" Hua Yuan sneered: "Then the prime minister killed him, who didn't live long, and casually planted a crime." He died, and after his wife got the gold promised by the prime minister, she abandoned her cumbersome family and traveled around with the gold, but in the end, she was cheated out of money by traffickers, and the person was also sold to Goolan Yuan. ”
"She's from you?" Ning Shangmo was a little surprised.
"It's not." Hua Yuan shook his head, he looked at Ning Shangmo with a smile: "Sometimes, people are really strong, she didn't accept her fate, but hooked up with a benefactor and became his concubine, these words were said when she came to our store to have fun, she was drunk." You see, she gave this ring. ”
Ning Shangmo looked at the gemstone ring, and only felt ridiculous, it turned out that this was the truth, this was what Ming Qingyan said, and it had nothing to do with Princess Beimeng.
"He personally arranged for the killer to go in, he was a good person again, saved the princess, became the benefactor of Beimeng, and became the object of Princess Tuoba's admiration, it turns out that he has always been such a sweet-mouthed and calculating person, presumably marrying himself will also ......" Ning Shangmo didn't say any more, just laughed self-deprecatingly, and then took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve.
"What do you mean, miss?" Huayuan was a little surprised, he wanted to provoke these two people to be not harmonious, but how could Ning Shangmo be so calm.
Ning Shangmo pushed the silver ticket over and shook his head: "I know about this matter, I won't let that person go, but I'm not in a hurry, the sincerity of the son is already obvious, I just want to ask that woman, what's her name, whose concubine is it?" ”
When Huayuan heard this, he hooked the corners of his mouth: "The thirteenth concubine of Lord Liu, the squire of the Ministry of War, is named Lin Liyue, if Miss wants to find her, there is a way to do it." ”
"There's no hurry." Ning Shangmo smiled faintly, didn't say more, and after a few words of greeting, the guests and hosts dispersed happily.
After watching the carriage of the painting garden disappear into the street, Ning Shangmo narrowed his eyes slightly, and instructed Yun Niang: "Let Yun Yishu check the origin of this person, I always feel that something is wrong with him." ”
Yun Niang nodded and left, Yu Ning Shangmo returned to the hall alone, looked at the dagger on the ground, and after a long time, she picked up the dagger and put it in her sleeve.
After sitting for a while, a person outside the door hurried over.
"Yo, isn't this the prime minister of Mingda, it's the sun coming out of the west today, why didn't you come here without wearing your clothes?" Ning Shangmo looked at Ming Qingyan sarcastically, and when he saw that his clothes were loose, he knew that he had just gotten up, and his hair was a little messy, not as cold as usual, but a little funny and flustered.
“…… The lady hasn't reached the seventh day yet, why is she at peace? After Ming Qingyan saw her, he seemed to be relieved, so he found a place to sit down, and asked someone to serve tea by the way.
"This is my Ning Mansion! Are you a little more comfortable? "Ning Shangmo is really not polite to see this guy, he really regards this place as his own home, and then he remembered the story that the painting garden said, Ning Shangmo was angry, didn't he specially design opportunities to save the beauty of heroes, how could he just hang the beauty in the palace like this, and drink tea here with a shy face?
"This is the lady's home, and I am naturally a person here, so why not be more comfortable." Ming Qingyan straightened his shirt and looked at her with slightly squinted eyes.
Ming Qingyan woke up and heard that Ning Shangmo was carrying the bamboo leaves and left angrily, thinking that the recent Beimeng mission was on the street, and those people were probably not friendly enough to her, so she hurriedly hurried over.
He was relieved to see that this person was okay.
"Yo, isn't your wife's home in Beimeng, when did this become Beimeng's post house?" Ning Shangmo looked at him detachedly, and spoke lightly, but there was no trace of anger in his tone.
Ming was stunned lightly, he looked at Ning Shangmo, but she didn't look at him, just quietly watched the Jun needle in the cup rise and fall, her eyelashes drooped, covering the look under her eyes, and she couldn't see her emotions in the mist.
For a moment, my heart was a little panicked, and Ming Qingyan had never been able to see through her thoughts, so she didn't know how to speak.
"The lady knows, I gave a dowry, and I will marry you into the door with a sedan chair, since the lady wants to be the princess of Beimeng so much, then I have to enter the emperor, let him capture Beimeng, and give you this position," Ming Qingyan said lightly, looking at Ning Shangmo, but she still didn't have the slightest emotion, which made Ming Qingyan a little unconfident.
"Beimeng has its own princess, I'm just a grass farmer, and I laughed at it." Ning Shangmo chuckled, took out the knife and gently placed it in front of Ming Qingyan: "Ah, by the way, I just got a treasure, and it happened to be given to the prime minister, so I should be a ......."
Ming Qingyan looked at the knife, his breathing was stagnant for a moment, he looked at Ning Shangmo and stopped talking.
Ning Shangmo raised his head at this time, looked at Ming Qingyan, his face was calm, as if he was looking at a stranger: "It's a dowry for return, it was just a farce before, and I will repair a letter to my sister after a while, explaining the reason." ”
"Shang Mo, you ......" Ming Qingyan stood up, wanting to reach out and grab Ning Shangmo's arm, but he didn't expect Ning Shangmo's figure to turn around, just a little hard, Ming Qingyan was uncontrollable, and was shocked by her palm wind and fell to the ground.
Ning Shangmo didn't look at him, just stood up slowly and yawned, turned around and said, "I'm sleepy, go sleep for a while, Zhuye, send off!" ”
Zhu Ye trotted over, picked up Ming Qingyan, who was a little stunned by Ning Shangmo's attitude, and took it outside, Ming Qingyan wanted to ask her something, but Zhu Ye kept silent, and only helped him to walk out of the door, until he was about to reach the door, Zhu Ye saw that there was no one around, so he secretly stuffed a note to him.
Ming Qingyan rarely showed a grateful smile, unfolded the note and looked at it, but he was stunned in place.
"Ouch, our invincible Prime Minister Ming Da is also deflated, so ah, this beauty is really full of thorns." The centrifugal boy was patrolling, and when he saw Ming Qingyan standing outside the Ning Mansion with a lonely face, he deliberately threw off his subordinates and came over to watch the excitement.
Ming Qingyan didn't answer, just handed the note in his hand to Leng Qingrong, Leng Qingrong's expression was grim, and he hurriedly opened it to take a look, only to see black and white words, with clear emotions.
Because there's only one big word on it: Get out.
