Village.

Jiang Ning was on a horse, surrounded by several guards and eunuchs.

In this small village, it is a rare majesty.

Suddenly, he saw a figure rushing towards him, and shouted in surprise: "Yun'er! ”

"Xianggong!"

When Li Yun'er saw Jiang Ning's figure, she exerted all her strength and sped up a few points.

Jiang Ning saw that her face was full of panic and fear, and when she thought of something, she hurriedly dismounted and ran over.

Li Yun'er threw herself into his arms excitedly.

"Yun'er, what's wrong?"

Jiang Ning noticed the shocking blood marks on her neck, and she was even more sure of her guess, and couldn't help but clench her fists.

Li Yun'er had red eyes, and she told the truth in fear.

Jiang Ning was furious when he heard this.

When he looked up, he saw another figure running towards him, his face full of evil intent.

If it's not Jiang Fu, who else can there be!

Jiang Ning lowered his eyes, his eyes were cold, and he was about to speak, when he saw Li Neishou on the side quickly step forward and shouted:

"Come on, don't take this fang down yet, for Jiang Shi to read and send down!"

This Li Nei is the little eunuch who called Jiang Ning before.

Obviously, his move is to better release goodwill for Miao Kui.

In an instant, several guards drew their swords out of their sheaths and rushed towards Jiang Fu.

Jiang Fu's face changed suddenly, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he panicked and wanted to run away.

But in the end it was too late.

He was quickly surrounded, pressed by two guards, and knelt down in front of Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning looked at him condescendingly.

Jiang Fu figured out the situation, slapped himself a few times, and begged for mercy:

"Ning, Brother Ning, it's my brother who has no eyes and designs to assassinate you and your younger siblings. For the sake of your kindred, spare me this time!

I'm going to tear up the IOU! ”

As he spoke, he took an IOU from his bosom and tore it to shreds with trembling hands.

But Jiang Ning still looked at him expressionlessly, obviously not meaning to let go.

Seeing this, Li Nei, who was on the side, rolled his eyes and shouted:

"What are you waiting for, drag this fang down, count the evidence of the crime, and hand it over to Shuntianfu to send it down!"

"No, don't! Brother Ning, you bypass me this time! ”

Jiang Fu struggled desperately, but was firmly grasped by several guards and dragged away like a dead dog.

Jiang Ning looked at the Li Nei servant in front of him kindly and said, "It's really Lao Li's Nei Shi, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to solve this matter easily." ”

"Jiang Shishu is polite."

Li Neishou hurriedly returned the salute: "The evidence of this person's crime is conclusive, and if he enters the Shuntianfu prison, he will not escape death." ”

Jiang Ning listened and smiled slightly.

At the same time, the villagers who had just come here to watch saw this scene and discussed with each other.

Obviously, Jiang Ning's majestic style shocked them.

Li Neishou took the initiative to stand up again and said loudly:

"I listened to it, Jiang was very knowledgeable, and he was appointed by His Majesty as an East Palace attendant.

That pranky pickled man intended to assassinate Jiang Shiyu and his family, and he deserved death!

Go to prison today to set an example! ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Yun'er covered her mouth in disbelief and asked, "Xianggong, is this true?" ”

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.

Li Yun'er cried with joy, and unspeakable excitement welled up in her heart.

The villagers, on the other hand, opened their mouths wide.

Although it is not clear how big an official this is, it does not prevent them from competing with each other.

All of a sudden, everyone rushed up, their mouths full of flattering words.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning arched his hand to everyone and pulled Li Yun'er back to his thatched house.

When he saw the collapsed door, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

If he had been a little late, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Jiang Ning looked at Li Yun'er and proposed:

"Yun'er, let's go to the city to rent a yard, and save the trouble of going to the city in the future."

You see, the cart behind is all the goods that His Majesty has rewarded. ”

"Well, it's all up to you."

Li Yun'er nodded obediently.

"Son-in-law, I've come to see you!"

At this moment, a rough voice came.

Jiang Ning turned around and saw his father-in-law, Li Shan, standing outside the fence gate, with a hesitant expression.

And behind him, there were several young men with dark faces and similar appearances.

They are Li Yun'er's brothers, that is, Jiang Ning's brother-in-law.

"Father-in-law is here? Come on in. ”

Jiang Ning beckoned.

"Son-in-law, I heard that you have become a big official?"

Li Shan walked in cautiously, rubbed his hands, and didn't dare to look at Jiang Ning.

"It's not a big official, it's just that Your Majesty Hongfu has been a waiter in the East Palace."

"It's all the same, they're all big officials."

Li Shan squeezed out a smile, gritted his teeth, and said directly:

"Son-in-law, I used to do something wrong and often treated you harshly.

In the future, please don't remember the villain's mistakes, don't take it to heart. ”

As he spoke, he bent down slightly.

Jiang Ning hurriedly helped:

"Father-in-law doesn't have to be like this, you are my elder. You were also harsh on me because you couldn't see Yun'er suffering, and I saved all of this. ”

When he first crossed over before, he was ridiculed by Li Shan with a blank eye, and it was impossible to be angry in his heart.

But after thinking about it, it was Li Yuner's father, and the last time he came, although it was a mockery, he also found an errand.

With that, there's no need to worry about it.

What's more, his brothers-in-law helped them from time to time, and their hearts were good.

"Yes, yes. In the end, he is a scholar, and he is more polite than me, a hunter. ”

Li Shan beckoned to the back: "Quick, come and see your brother-in-law." ”

Several brothers-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Everyone talked for a while, and the relationship was a lot better.

After sending them away, Jiang Ning said to Li Yun'er:

"Yun'er, go pack your things, let's go into the city.

Tomorrow I will accompany the prince to study, and now I will go to solve the place of residence. ”

Li Yun'er answered, turned around and entered the back room.

At this time, Li Nei, who was standing on the side, stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Jiang Shixue wants to rent a yard? The little one knows that there is a tooth shop, and he can't help Shangjiang to study. ”

"It couldn't be better."

Jiang Ning was instantly overjoyed.

He was worried that the land in the capital was expensive, and he was not familiar with the land, so he was cheated.

Well, now you don't have to be so embarrassed.

In the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Ning successfully rented a second-entry courtyard under the guidance of Xiao Lizi, and moved in at that time.

Li Yun'er pulled Jiang Ning to look inside and out.

The bright hall, spacious bedrooms, and clean and tidy furniture made both of them particularly satisfied.

It's hard to come to an end.

"Do you like this yard, Yun'er?"

Under a banyan tree in the courtyard, Jiang Ning gently pinched Li Yun'er's soft wattle and asked.

"Like! Xianggong, I never thought that one day, I would be able to live in such a good yard. ”

Li Yun'er nodded heavily, her eyes full of excitement and joy.

Jiang Ning's eyes were full of pity and said: "It's all because I was useless before and made you suffer." In the future, I will let you live in a bigger and better yard. ”

This is his promise to Li Yun'er.

"Don't say that, as long as I can be with Xianggong, I am willing to live wherever I live."

"Yun'er, marrying you is a blessing for my life."

Jiang Ning caressed Li Yun'er's soft face.

Li Yuner shyly threw herself into his arms:

"It's my blessing to be able to marry Xianggong, I knew that Xianggong would have a great future."

As she spoke, she raised her head and gazed at Jiang Ning affectionately with her bright beautiful eyes, her face full of adoration.

The two hugged each other tightly, enjoying this rare warmth, and the joy of moving into a new home and starting a new life.

In the evening, after Meimei finished her first dinner in her new home, Jiang Ning hugged her into the bedroom amid Li Yuner's exclamations.

"Xianggong!"

Li Yun'er hooked Jiang Ning's neck, her face full of shyness.

"Let's try it together, this new bed is uncomfortable."

This night, the two hugged each other and slept very comfortably.

The next day, Jiang Ning arrived at the Forbidden City before the appointed hour.

After showing the token, he was led by a little eunuch and walked all the way to Chunfang, where the crown prince Zhu Hou lived.

Entering a palace, he saw several eunuchs playing with a young man.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but be a little dazed.

Are these the people who will stand at the pinnacle of the power of the Ming Dynasty in the future?

One of them, unsurprisingly, is Zhu Houzhao, who has had a one-sided relationship, and the future son of righteousness.

Although he is witty and intelligent, and has great martial arts, he once personally led his troops to win the victory in Yingzhou.

But he was greedy for fun, indulged in frolic, and built a "leopard house" and a "new house" for daily amusement.

At the same time, in the early and middle years of his administration, he was still very fond of the Eight Tigers, which made the court miserable.

And the so-called Eight Tigers are a group of eunuchs headed by Liu Jin and Gu Dayong.

That is, the eunuchs who are now playing with Zhu Houzhao.

Not only did one or two lie on the ground without any image, but they even rode Zhu Houzhao as horses.

I really can't see that it is a famous eunuch who will play with power in the future.

Jiang Ning's mind flashed a series of impressions of these people, sobered up, bowed his head and saluted:

"Weichen Jiang Ning has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
