Chapter Forty-Six: Relationship Reversal
The news that Jiang Ning had searched the female official's room and found Bu Shao soon spread to the Cining Palace.
A group of royal ladies were in an uproar.
Princess Deqing proved her innocence and breathed a long sigh of relief.
It's just that I cried for too long before, and under the joy and sorrow, I fainted for a while.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her heart, scolded the female official loudly, and immediately asked someone to drag her out and kill her with a cane.
Yun Yang stood beside his imperial sister and whispered, "It seems that that person is quite capable." ”
Yun An was startled, and hurriedly booed her to shut her mouth so as not to be heard.
Yunyang playfully stuck out his little tongue and said no more.
Outside the main hall of Cining Palace.
The female officer was pressed to a bench by several small eunuchs, picked up a stick and began the execution.
"Ahh Slave maid, slave maid wronged!
Queen Mother, the slave really didn't take the princess's step! ”
The female officer wailed and cried.
It's just that it doesn't play a half role, and she is already going to die today.
Ma Yongcheng and Jiang Ning stood aside, watching this scene, their faces different.
Jiang Ning didn't feel the slightest bit about this.
Just with this cheap slave bullying master, it is enough for her to die a hundred times.
Ma Yongcheng seemed indifferent, but his eyes were full of anger.
is not only bold to the female official, but also to Jiang Ning for not giving him face.
The latter, on the other hand, is much larger than the former.
The female officer suddenly caught a glimpse of Ma Yongcheng and hurriedly shouted:
"Grandpa Ma, save me!"
Ma Yongcheng didn't seem to hear it, not only did he not say a word, but turned his head away.
The female officer cried out again:
"Ma Yongcheng, don't you really want to kill me!
You and I are friendly, can't you save my life! ”
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow.
Although this female official is middle-aged, her charm is still there, and she can't say that the two of them have something to do.
Ma Yongcheng was still unmoved.
Seeing this, a thick look of resentment appeared on the female officer's face, and she said hatefully:
"Okay, Ma Yongcheng, in that case, see if I don't sue you to Your Majesty......"
It's just that she stopped abruptly halfway through her words, and she tilted her head and ran out of breath.
Guy Ma Yongcheng directly picked up the stick and smashed it on her head.
It's almost a burst of brains.
"You slut, stealing the things given by the emperor, and daring to make a big deal about it here, it's really damned!"
Jiang Ning looked at all this coldly.
is worthy of being one of the Eight Tigers, and he is ruthless.
Ma Yongcheng asked the little eunuch to report to the Empress Dowager, and then looked at Jiang Ning again, and said coldly:
"Master Jiang, let's go and report to Your Majesty."
"Okay."
Jiang Ning didn't seem to notice the change in his attitude, and a smile still appeared on his face.
The two returned to the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Houzhao didn't care when he learned about this, and said that he was sleepy and let the two retreat.
Jiang Ning had just walked out of the palace gate, but found that Gu Dayong had followed him.
"Lord Jiang, the dead female official and Father-in-law Ma are secretly husband and wife.
Today, because of the adult's death, Ma Gonggong is afraid that he will not give up. ”
Gu Da reminded with a kind face.
"Oh?"
Jiang Ning pretended to be surprised:
"Is there such a thing? Just not really.
This official was only ordered by His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, and there were many eunuchs and palace maids at that time, so what did it have to do with me. ”
While pretending to be confused, he pondered.
Looking at the current situation, there seems to be a disagreement between the Eight Tigers.
Gu Dayong saw that Jiang Ning didn't care, and said hurriedly:
"Master Jiang is confused.
That Ma Yongcheng is the most narrow-minded, he must not resent His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, but he will not be angry on the head of the adult. ”
Jiang Ning's complexion changed and changed, and finally sighed:
"Thank you Father-in-law Gu for reminding me, Jiang must be careful.
If there is a need for Jiang Ning in the future, even if it is. ”
When Gu Dayong heard this, he immediately showed joy.
While the two were talking, an old eunuch came over.
closed his mouth and looked closely, but saw that it was Fan Heng, the governor of the East Factory.
When Fan Heng saw Jiang Ning, his already gloomy face was even more ugly, and he directly sneered:
"Lord Jiang, no, Lord Jiang, it's really majestic.
The establishment of the inner factory, which is responsible for supervising the two factories and one guard, it seems that our family and Commander Mu will have to look at the face of Governor Jiang in the future.
In the future, please take care of our family, but don't be careless, you will arrest the former benefactor and put it in the prison, and end up with an ungrateful reputation. ”
Jiang Ning stared at the old eunuch in front of him with a cold expression.
At the beginning, he was accepted into Jinyiwei by Mu Bin, because Jinyiwei and Dongchang needed to install people around the new emperor.
didn't think about it, his chess piece suddenly grew into a tiger and began to fight against his old club.
It's no wonder that Fan Heng can have a good face.
And Jin Yiwei has always been in the same breath as Dongchang, so Mu Bin probably has this attitude.
Although Mu Bin has a good reputation in history, it does not mean that he is still a good man in the face of power.
Jiang Ning knew that the relationship between him and the two was afraid that it would be completely broken.
Immediately, he also directly ridiculed each other:
"Since Your Majesty values this official, then this official naturally has to do a good job.
If someone is a traitor and is put in prison, he will not mention it for the time being, and just say that he has a reputation as a loyal king, and he will be able to live forever. ”
Fan Heng's face turned pale, he snorted coldly, threw off his sleeve robe and walked away with the two little eunuchs.
And Gu Dayong on the side watched the two of them fight like immortals, and took a few steps back to the corner, and he didn't dare to come out.
At night.
Jiang Ning finally finished a tiring day's errands and was able to leave the palace and go home.
As soon as he entered, the two pretty little maids hurried to the back house and reported to their respective wives.
That is, Su Luoxian and Lu Qingming.
The two girls suddenly heard that Jiang Ning was back, and their hearts began to tremble involuntarily.
They each sat on the edge of the bed in the room, their pretty faces dyed crimson under the big red hijab, and they were both shy and expectant about what was coming.
At the same time, the two of them couldn't help but guess which room Jiang Ning would go into.
And at the thought of entering the other party's room, Su Luoxian and Lu Qingming invariably became a little pantothenic.
It's just that they didn't expect that Jiang Ning didn't enter any room, but plunged into the study.
When the two girls got the news, their hearts fell to the bottom, and their bright eyes began to dim.
And did Jiang Ning really deliberately snub the two flower-like ladies?
Of course not.
He just forgot.
Guy was busy preparing for the ceremony for a while, so he didn't take his marriage to heart.
Coupled with today's realization that the relationship with the East Factory and Jinyiwei has completely broken down, he regards the establishment of the Inner Factory as the first priority.
After returning to the study, he sent someone to summon Zhang He and Wang Miao to come and meet.
"Subordinates, see your lordship."
"No need to be polite, sit down."
Jiang Ning beckoned the two of them to sit down, and walked directly into the topic:
"Your Majesty ordered me to set up an inner factory, and I don't think it is appropriate to delay this matter, so I will summon the two of you to come and discuss."
When Zhang He and Wang Miao heard this, they glanced at each other, and they all showed surprise.
They knew what Jiang Ning meant, and obviously regarded them as the heart of their hearts.
When the inner factory opens in the future, I am afraid that the status will not fly directly to the sky.
"My subordinates are willing to die for my lord!"
Zhang and the two stood up and knelt down on one knee in unison.
Jiang Ning left his seat and helped the two up. Pleasant and pleasant face:
"I have always known the faithfulness of both of you."
After sitting down again, he continued:
"The establishment of an internal factory is nothing more than land, people, and money.
And Your Majesty has allowed me to act cheaply, and we can do it freely.
The land is easy to do, Huangzhuang is located in the eastern suburbs, the land is extensive, and a piece of land can be opened and built at will.
It's easy for people to do, I have already reported to His Majesty that I have transferred all the Zuoye troops into the inner factory.
In this way, all the military salaries and camps of the original Shenji Battalion were owned by the inner factory.
It's just that this money is quite tricky, do you have any good suggestions? ”
Zhang He and Wang Miao looked at each other and said ashamedly:
"My lord, I am incompetent, and I want to say that assassination, intelligence, fists and feet and other skills are at my fingertips, but this fundraising is really not the point. It still needs to be dialed by an adult. ”
