Under Dr. Shen's Zhang Luo, the first transaction of smuggling precious medicinal materials was very successful.

Zhong Ning made a small profit because of this, and got 100 taels of silver.

Zhong Ning returned home happily, respectfully took out 20 taels, and handed them to his mother Xu.

Zhong Ning, like a child, picked up the osmanthus cake on the table again and ate it, feeling that today's taste was extremely sweet.

I thought my mother would be very happy and would praise herself a few words.

Unexpectedly, Xu's face was full of sadness, his voice trembled, and he asked, "Ning'er, where did you get this money?"

"I earn this money, I don't steal or rob, I make money with my ability." Zhong Ning didn't want to deceive his mother, so the voice of the sentence "make money with your ability" was unconsciously lowered. After all, the smuggling matter is not visible, and there is still some emptiness in my heart.

But the hearts of the people in this world are not ancient, and those who work hard and are tired and tired cannot earn three melons and two dates. It's really a man who has no windfall and no wealth, and a horse has no night grass and no fat.

"Ning'er, do you know? Just now your father came and left, and said that you should go to the state torture hall immediately and turn yourself in, otherwise, he won't be able to save you! After speaking, Xu sighed and began to recite the "Diamond Sutra" in front of the Buddha shrine.

"That's a good thing, he has always only had himself in his heart, he is afraid that I will cause him to lose his glory and wealth!" Zhong Ning scolded in his heart.

For this father, in Zhong Ning's heart, it is just a symbol, and he has no feelings.

But seeing her mother so serious is by no means groundless.

Could it be that his own smuggling was exposed so quickly?

Shouldn't that be, shouldn't this master catch smuggling be the city hall?

Why did the State Punishment Department take action?

Besides, just those little minions in the torture hall, what can you do to me?

Facts have proved that if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer a loss.

The next morning, a group of people in flying fish suits rushed to Zhong Ning's residence, put him in the flail and left.

Even if Zhong Ning scolded and scolded, it was to no avail.

In fact, at this moment, Zhong Ning was panicked, and he was able to dispatch Jinyi Wei to arrest him.

That means it's a big deal.

This time, he Zhong Yanei really got into trouble.

But no matter what, Zhong Ning was ready to resist and deny it.

Anyway, all the money I earned was spent, and I couldn't get it back.

"Zhong Gongzi, you know what we are looking for you for, right? Your accomplice, Dr. Shen, has already been recruited. If you say that it is still too late, it can be regarded as a voluntary surrender and meritorious service, but if we find out, the nature will be completely different. Among the brocade guards who interrogated Zhong Ning, a person who looked like a leader said viciously in a threatening tone.

"Then you all know, what else do I say?" Zhong Ning was still lucky.

"Lord Qianhu, I'll just say that you don't need to be punished, these cheap bones won't be honest." A brocade guard with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks said, picked up a red-hot soldering iron and approached Zhong Ning's chest.

"Finally, I ask you again, to recruit or not to recruit?" Senhe-sama's tone was obviously a little impatient.

Zhong Ning shook his head, and passed out with a scream.

——————————

The most famous restaurant in Wuchang, Changyue Building.

The elegant arrangement, osmanthus scented sandalwood makes diners feel refreshed.

The private room by the river, the excellent location, and a table of good dishes make people salivate.

There were only two guests at the meal.

During the banquet, several graceful and beautiful women shuttled between them, sitting on the laps of the guests, pouring wine and drinking together, full of laughter.

"Lord Wang, although the dog is stubborn, he really can't do this thing of colluding with the party, please raise your noble hand." Lord Zhizhou Zhong Yue smiled and toasted, and stretched out four fingers.

"Lord Zhong, this matter was caught by the emperor, I'm afraid Ling Lang won't be so easy to fish!" Lord Tan of Jinyi Wei Qianhu pushed away Lord Zhong's hand and stretched out the five fingers of both hands.

"Ten is ten, as long as Lord Wang tirelessly works for the dog, he will be grateful. Thank you in advance, Mr. Wang. Zhong Yue gritted his teeth, in pain like cutting meat.

Soon, Zhong Ning was released. Zhong Ning thought that his own strategy had worked, and he was proud, and Sister Liu'er, who had always taken care of herself, showed off: "Look, I said that I am auspicious, you and your mother are worried in vain, right?"

"Young Master Ning, don't talk like that, you'll scare your sister and your mother to death." Sister Liu'er booed, "You can joke, it means that you are almost better, the housewife said, if you wake up, you should go to the master's study quickly, admit your mistake and apologize." ”

"He? Forget it, this old man won't care about my wild son, I'm afraid, he's the same as that Xue master's mother, I wish I died outside, right? Zhong Ning took over the conversation angrily.

"Young Master Ning, I'm afraid you don't know, in order to save you, the master secretly took ten small yellow croakers, and is now kneeling in the study, your words are too chilling, you have to rely on your conscience." Sister Liu Er ran away aggrievedly.

Zhong Ning was stunned.

He never expected that his father, who usually withheld to death, would be so generous, and he took out so much money at once, just to save his uncompetitive son.

What I didn't expect was that this old man disobeyed the tigress for the first time, but it was still for himself.

Could it be that he has wrongly blamed Zhong Yue, the old man, all these years?

But no matter what, this old man is not so ruthless and unrighteous.

With the death of the titular father-in-law, Zhu Qimeng was heartbroken and was ready to leave Wuchang and take refuge in Liu Zelin, who was an official and childhood sweetheart in the capital.

As soon as I come, I will go there and have a response.

Second, she has no relatives and an acquaintance who is easy to do, she still wants to redress her father's grievances, after all, when a person dies, she can't still have a bad reputation, as a child, this is also the last filial piety she can do.

Third, I can't just hide and hide for the rest of my life, if I don't restore my identity as the daughter of the official family, if I am caught, I will be registered as a pariah, not to mention the insulting lintel, if I am played with by those people, it is better to die.

The soldiers were in chaos, Zhong Ning was afraid that Zhu Qimeng would go to the capital alone, the distance was far away, there were many displaced people, and it was not safe, so he offered to escort her.

Zhong Ning did this not all for Zhu Qimeng, he also wanted to take advantage of his youth to go to the bustling capital to have a look and increase his knowledge?

After these days of getting along day and night, Zhong Ning understood that if it was really for Zhu Qi's dream, he would have to work hard for him to restore his status as an official lady.

That's it for him in this life, I really hope that Zhu Qimeng can live better than himself? Love is not possession, but fulfillment.

Of course, Zhu Qimeng is not stupid, she understands Zhong Ning's intentions. But at this time, she was still the daughter of a prisoner, and she was a burden, and she was not qualified to talk about children's love.

Only one day when he washes away his father's grievances and restores his identity as an official lady can he be qualified to accept Zhong Ning's love.

Zhu Qimeng clearly knows that in love, there must always be equal strength in order to have a happy ending.

At the beginning, Zhong Ning proposed, and Zhu Qimeng repeatedly refused, which is not difficult to understand.

Everything was ready, and Zhong Ning and Zhu Qimeng set foot on the road to the capital.

What Zhong Ning didn't know was that the father in his mouth had written a lot of letters, calling on his own properties and protégés from all over the country to take care of and take care of Zhong Ning.

Zhong Ning's mother, Xu Shi, spent almost her life savings and asked Lord Jinyi Wei Wang to send his subordinate Hidden Dragon Wei Ma Chao to escort him all the way.

The Xu family lied to Zhong Ning that he was invited by the lord of the state government, hoping to ease the relationship between the father and son.
