Chapter 15: The Grave Sin of Treason
The study of the Hou Mansion is a lush bamboo forest in front and back, and it is quiet at this time, only the cicadas are chirping.
Ning Jian retreated from the crowd and looked at Shang Ke, who was sitting in front of him leisurely drinking tea.
It is about the eldest son Ning Que, how can he not be worried, but Shang Ke is no longer the hairy boy who doesn't know the seriousness, the person is still in the capital, and the news of Qianzhou Mansion has been learned.
The enemy doesn't move, I don't move, and he also behaves leisurely, but now the hour is too big, and it is inevitable to be anxious.
Shang Ke is indeed not in a hurry, and the Meitan Cuiya in Ning Guohou's Mansion is also a must, seeing Ning Jian scratching his ears and cheeks, it is a little interesting, and he can't help sneering, "Meitan Cuiya is a must in Qianzhou, and Zhonglang will be filial piety." β
Ning Jing's elder brother Ning Que is the fourth military attachΓ©, who was awarded the title of Huaihua Zhonglang General, and was ordered to guard the Qianzhou Mansion a few years ago.
Ning Jian didn't know why, and hurriedly continued, "General Mingjian, my son really doesn't know about Jiuli, there are unforeseen circumstances, I just arrived in Qianzhou a few years ago, and I didn't expect to catch up with such a disaster." β
"It's strange to say, Qianzhou is not three feet flat, there are Diao people in the deep mountains to make weapons privately is difficult to detect, the dog does not know is not an exaggeration, who expected that the deputy general of the town of Nanwang Yan Mu suppressed the bandits out of a mine, I heard that the mine is full of private weapons, this is a big crime of rebellion, quickly arrested these thieves and interrogated them strictly, I didn't expect to judge a Jiuli ......"
Shang Ke said, floated the tea foam with the teacup lid, and continued.
"The matter of Jiuli is a taboo in His Majesty's heart, and the death of the former prince is really sad......"
The more Ning Jian listened, the more cold sweat broke out on his back.
The study is quiet, but the women's side is very lively, and a large family of women are chatting and talking.
It's all flattering, and it's kind on the surface, but behind the scenes, it's eager to kill each other.
Ning Jing was bored after greeting them, and heard that his father was meeting guests in the study, so he wanted to go back to Pujia Courtyard to rest for a while, and then he divided the gifts in each room and said goodbye to Mrs. Ning.
The old lady happily fiddled with the night pearl sent by Ning Jing, and when she heard the words, she let all the rooms disperse.
Xiang'er helped Ning Jing out of the courtyard gate, and was about to go to Pujia Courtyard, but heard Ning Xiang's voice behind her, "Sister Princess, Xiang'er has something to report." β
Ning Jing looked back in surprise, "Why does the second sister need to be so polite, I don't know what happened to the second sister?" β
Ning Xiang hurried forward, but didn't speak, just looked left and right.
Ning Jing quietly watched what tricks she wanted to play, and she didn't say anything.
Ning Xiang saw that she didn't speak, so she lowered her head and said timidly, "Sister Princess, there are many people here, and Xiang'er can't speak, so it's better to ...... Why don't you go to the gazebo in front and sit down. β
Ning Jing was most afraid of these demons, so he asked Xiang'er to wait here, and he followed Ning Xiang to the pavilion not far away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she got there, Ning Xiang knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
"Sister, I know that I had something wrong before, and my aunt also owed my sister, and now that my sister is also a princess, she will never bother with us, but Xiang'er has a bad conscience, and she must ask her sister for forgiveness."
Ning Jing saw that her expression was poignant, and it didn't look like she was faking, but in any case, they were all from the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion, and she didn't want to worry about them.
"Get up, if I blame you, it really chills Daddy's heart."
Ning Xiang thanked her for her words and stood up excitedly, but she didn't want to stumble her left foot all of a sudden, and her body threw herself on the stone pillar.
"Be careful!" Ning Jing was startled and hurriedly helped her, but saw that Ning Xiang did not get up, but grabbed her hand tightly and looked ahead fixedly.
"Sister, what do you see Aunt Zhao doing sneakily?"
Ning Jing followed her line of sight and happened to see Aunt Zhao and a little girl pulling and pulling beside the rockery.
I was shocked, could it be ......
