The third master of the imperial merchant Xia became a force to contain King Ning, and he did not enter the court, and his business was decent.

As for whether it's decent or not, it's his own business, anyway, if you can't catch the evidence, I can't do anything.

Over the years, King Ning didn't know how much effort he had put into Xia Sanye, but the other party was not in pain, and he couldn't touch the root.

Among Xia Sanye's forces, there are heroes in the green forest, merchants from all over the country, and even many gangs in the rivers and lakes have friendships with him, although this is not worth thousands of troops, but it can make people dare not act easily.

What if King Ning can move troops and horses? He can't act blatantly, as long as he acts, the loyal ministers of the court can deal with him on the grounds of rebellion.

So as long as he is not 100% sure, King Ning will never dare to do it.

But he had no way to find out how many people Xia Sanye had, so he didn't know how sure he was.

In the final analysis, he still looked down on the Xia family in the early years, just thinking that this was an ordinary merchant, but he didn't know that secretly, the emperor was already making preparations.

If it weren't for the emperor's convenience, how could the Xia family become an imperial merchant in just over ten years?

Now even if he regrets it, King Ning has no way to take Xia Sanye, he miscalculated.

It is precisely because he is becoming more and more passive that Xia Sanye can't allow his people to continue to lose, and Governor Zhang is one.

The prince and Xia Sanye and his gang were involved in this matter, Zhang Wei was not clean, if they really investigated thoroughly and let them catch the handle, Zhang Wei would definitely not end well.

Sanjiang Mansion is very important, even if he can cultivate his own power again, it will take time, and he is not sure whether he will be preempted by Xia Sanye.

Once you lose Sanjiang Mansion, you will have to be nervous about the money in hand in the future, and it will become a big thing, how can you do it without money?

What's more, a thorough investigation of the prefect of Sanjiang Mansion is a signal, which means that the royal family can fight with King Ning, King Ning is no longer as inviolable as before in the court, and the imperial power is above him, which will definitely have a huge impact on the future.

Considering these many factors, King Ning was unwilling to let the emperor nod and investigate thoroughly, so he and the prince's faction were deadlocked.

This matter has been debated in the court every day, and there has been no result, and no one is willing to back down.

Jiang Jingxue was worried, but it was not good to keep asking Xia Sanye, she couldn't help, she couldn't create pressure on others, she knew that they were also very attentive.

After a few days, she will inquire about the progress, Xia Sanye said, "Now that Fanbang is coming to the court, King Ning has grasped this point, that is, the emperor wants to check, but he also has to worry about the face of the court, I am afraid that I will have to wait for the envoy of Fanbang to leave before I can continue." ”

Jiang Jingxue knew that this was not good news, time could make the wound heal, but it could also make people forget, and when the envoy of Fanbang left, this matter might be forgotten, and if you want people to help you speak, it is not as easy as it is now.

Jiang Jingxue said, "Then Shang Xuan will not be able to come out until then?" ”

Xia Sanye nodded, "According to the rules, before such a case is concluded, the bitter master who sues cannot come out." ”

Jiang Jingxue knew it in her heart, and now it seems that there is no other way.

Xia Sanye said again, "There is another news." ”

He handed a letter to Jiang Jingxue, Jiang Jingxue knew that it was not good news when she looked at his expression, her first reaction was that something happened at home, and the first thing she thought of was the child.

When I took the letter, I felt that my hands were trembling, and I couldn't even open my mouth in a hurry.

When I saw the letter, it wasn't that something had happened to Ping An, but it was indeed not good news," Qingqing's face ...... Ruined? ”

Xia Sanye nodded, "I hope you can understand that although my people are secretly protecting, they can only protect her life, this case involves the prefect of Sanjiang Mansion, and before the evidence collection is insufficient, it cannot be rash." ”

Jiang Jingxue knew that they definitely didn't just want to help save people, since King Ning was powerful, they had to deal with it ruthlessly when they seized the opportunity, and the opportunity was not always available.

In order to collect more evidence, it is natural that it is impossible to startle the snake, although there is no way to take care of it.

She felt sorry for Qingqing, but she couldn't blame others, after all, with her own strength, she couldn't even do this.

So, she could only nod, "I just hope it's all worth it." ”

When she came over today, she didn't get any good news, and she learned that Qingqing was disfigured, and she returned to her residence with a heavy heart.

In a few days, it will be a dinner party to welcome the envoys of Fanbang, and now that everyone is busy with this matter, where will anyone mention this small case?

Even Xia Sanye must put his mental strength on this temporarily, if he lets King Ning do his hands and feet at the dinner, isn't he handing the enemy a knife?

Jiang Jingxue originally felt quite confident, but after today, she was disappointed again, and she didn't know what else she could do.

She thought that she could easily do things that others couldn't do if she had space in her hands and treasures that ordinary people couldn't have.

But in fact, this is very limited, and when it comes to big things, there is nothing to be done.

Jiang Jingxue didn't inquire about the case for a few days, and soon it was the day of the dinner, and a few people from the Xia family were also going to attend, although it was a dinner, they went to the palace early in the morning.

Jiang Jingxue was thinking about being able to re-propose after the dinner, and she was very unsteady, this feeling was too helpless.

Unexpectedly, the Zhou family came in the afternoon, Jiang Jingxue said with a smile, "I haven't seen Aunt Zhou for a few days." ”

Zhou said, "Today's banquet in the palace, I don't have anything to do, so I want to come and see you." ”

Jiang Jingxue was very happy, and asked again, "Is it okay if Aunt Zhou is not in front of His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Zhou said with a smile, "The prince is indispensable to be taken care of by his side, but he is used to being by my side, and now that His Royal Highness is in good health, I should have left some, it's nothing." ”

Jiang Jingxue didn't understand the rules of the palace, so she didn't ask much, the two were not very familiar, but they could talk very well, and when they talked to Zhou, time passed quickly.

Before I knew it, it was evening, and the two of them had dinner in the house, and Zhou stayed here for one night tonight, and returned to the palace tomorrow.

It wasn't until late at night that the Xia family and others came back, and Xia Sanye sent the old lady back, and then asked people to pass the word, asking Jiang Jingxue to go to Mrs. Xia's house, she had something to say.

On this big night, it is always inappropriate to let Jiang Jingxue go to the study.

But if he doesn't say this news, it is estimated that he will not be able to sleep tonight, and if Jiang Jingxue knows, he may have to complain that he said it late.

Jiang Jingxue and Zhou hadn't slept yet, and they subconsciously felt that something would happen when they entered the palace, so they were still waiting so late.

Hearing that Xia Sanye asked people to pass the word, Jiang Jingxue was about to go immediately, and the Zhou family went with him, and he was also wondering what was going on.
