Following.

Jiang Ning met with two selected internal supervisors.

After they were gratefully sworn in and let them go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to take office, they packed their bags and prepared to return to Beijing.

When the officials in Nanjing heard the news, they became more and more sure that Zhang Sheng was assassinated by him.

But because of Jiang Ning's powerful position, no one dared to say it so clearly.

And when everyone went to see Jiang Ning off, they saw him with a calm look, but they were a little uncertain.

They have all gone through the storms in the officialdom, not to mention that they are accurate, but whether a person is weak or not, he still can't escape their eyes.

All the officials together felt that it was not Jiang Ning's instructions.

But it's useless now.

As soon as the news reaches the capital, those officials who are eager to get rid of Jiang Ning will definitely put this hat on his head.

Therefore, in the eyes of Nanjing officials, Jiang Ning is undoubtedly rushing for time at the moment, wanting to enter Beijing before the arrival of the holy decree to prove his innocence.

In fact, he was really in a hurry for time, but it was more than that.

Jingshi, the Forbidden City.

Ma Yongcheng rode a soft sedan chair, Shi Shiran walked out of the imperial city, and went straight to Ruicheng Silk Village.

This is an industry under the name of the Chengguo Mansion, and it is also a silk supplier in the inner court.

As a result, Ma Yongcheng, who was in charge of the treasury of the inner court and was responsible for purchasing, did not make any less profits.

Unexpectedly, Ruicheng Silk Village suddenly announced a price increase, and it rose by a full and a half percent, close to two percent.

In this way, the profits that his father-in-law can make are much less.

Therefore, as soon as the morning dawned, he went straight to the silk village, wanting to ask for an understanding.

"Yo, Grandpa Ma, what kind of wind is blowing you here today?"

The shopkeeper of the silk village saw Ma Yongcheng coming in and hurriedly greeted him.

Ma Yongcheng frowned and said:

"Lao He, you don't pretend to be confused with our family. Why did our family come, can you know?

It's good, how can the price go up? Do you know how many extra taels of silver you need in the palace to buy the same amount of silk as before? ”

Shopkeeper He carefully accompanied the smiling face:

"Father-in-law Ma, you said that the price increase, how can the villain be the master."

Ma Yongcheng frowned and said impatiently: "Then find someone who can call the shots." ”

Shopkeeper He immediately pointed to the back room behind the curtain:

"Just waiting for your words. Grandpa Ma, the person you want to see is inside, please. ”

Ma Yongcheng glanced at him: "Lao He, how can you be brainless when you say this?" ”

Confused, he lifted the curtain and walked in.

The next moment, his eyes widened.

"You, how did you get here?"

Jiang Ning stood with his hands in his hands, turned around and said with a smile: "Grandpa Ma, let's not come to harm." ”

The inner court, among the celebrants.

Wang Yue and others got together, and Fan Heng was asking a Dongchang fanzi.

"Let's ask you, where is Jiang Ning now?"

"Back to my father-in-law, the latest news of horse exploration, he took a boat to reroute to the inland sea, and now he is almost in Tianjinwei?"

"What?"

Fan Heng's face changed suddenly: "In this way, he has already been alerted?" Otherwise, what is the good end of the detour to Tianjin Wei? ”

Wang Yue sat on the top and said:

"The inner factory is not a decoration, Jiang Ning has its own means, and it is not surprising to find out some news.

If he hadn't reacted, our family would have been weird.

This hand, I'm afraid it's playing tricks. ”

Fan Heng suddenly, stroked his palms and smiled:

"The prince said it very well.

That Tianjin Wei is Jinyiwei's territory, and he plunged into it, undoubtedly killing himself. ”

At this time, Liu Wudao:

"Didn't you just get the news yesterday that Zhang Sheng had a conflict with Jiang Ning, and then he was killed.

Whether he did it or not, it could only be him.

As long as the news of Zhang Sheng's death completely spreads to Beijing, the hundreds of officials in the outer court will inevitably shout for impeachment and investigate Jiang Ning.

Hehe, no matter what tricks he plays, as long as he comes to the capital, it will be a dead end. ”

Fan Heng shook his head and said:

"My father-in-law Liu, you are thinking too simply.

If Jiang Ning's death this time is all attributed to the outer court, you can see how they will devour the power of the court.

At that time, our celebrant will not be able to get any benefits, and will even be suppressed by taking advantage of the situation.

But if Jiang Ning dies in our hands, it will be completely different. ”

Liu Wu listened thoughtfully:

"Therefore, our family wants to get rid of Jiangning before Jiang Ning arrives in Beijing, and Liu Jin and Gu Da will use them."

"That's it."

At this moment, a fan ran in.

"Governor, the latest news.

When Jiangning passed through Shandong, it docked in the middle of the night, and about 50 people disembarked and walked along the dry road with a carriage, and now they have arrived at Hejian Mansion. ”

Fan Heng said disdainfully: "It seems that he is playing dark Chen Cang." Are you sure someone else is in the wagon? ”

"Tanma can't really see it, but I can be sure that he is an extremely handsome son, and there is a pretty maid beside him."

"That doesn't seem to be fake.

Unless Jiang Ning is like us, how can he bear to be alone with other men? ”

Fan Heng laughed, with an extremely cruel look on his face.

"Order, immediately send someone to intercept and kill Jiang Ning, there must be no mistake."

"Yes."

Fanzi was about to leave, Wang Yue suddenly half-squinted his eyes and said:

"Wait a minute, you need to do two things. Go tell Mu Bin and ask him to go to Tianjin Wei to see it in person and welcome our official ship of Lord Jiang. ”

River Province border.

A carriage was running down the path, surrounded by dozens of knights.

In the carriage, the two sat opposite each other.

One is a delicate maid with a beautiful appearance, generous demeanor, and dusty temperament.

The other is a handsome, fresh and handsome son.

But if you look closely, you can find that his face is more beautiful than countless women, and his skin is even more crystal clear, and it can be broken by blowing.

These two people are He Yuyao, who is dressed as a man and pretends to be Jiang Ning, and Zheng Fangrui.

They were instructed by Jiang Ning to take a carriage on a dry road to attract attention.

Just as the two women were closing their eyes and pretending to sleep, the carriage suddenly stopped.

He Yuyao opened her eyes and shouted in a male voice, "What's the matter?" ”

A fan outside the carriage replied: "My lord, it is the inspection yamen, and there are Kacha smugglers." ”

He Yuyao's willow eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

She has lived in the He Mansion for so many years, and the most she has seen are all kinds of tax collectors, and she knows the nature of these things.

This early in the morning, the cold wind is gusting, so they are not so diligent in blocking the road and setting up cards.

What's more, this place is still very remote, and you can't see a single figure for half a day.

He Yuyao thought about it, and was about to open the curtain to see the situation.

At this moment, more than a dozen cold arrows shot over and stuck in all parts of the carriage.

If it weren't for the sturdy materials, I am afraid that it would have been worn into the carriage a long time ago.

The horses were frightened, neighed, and suddenly turned around and ran madly into the reeds.

"Enemy attack! Protect your grown-ups! ”

Dozens of knights outside drew their swords one after another, and after killing all the tax collectors, they did not go to meet the enemies in the shadows, but hurriedly chased the carriage away.

At this moment, fifty or sixty people came out of the reeds on both sides of the path.

Each is armed with a bow and crossbow, and a long knife hangs from his waist.

"My lord, do you want to chase it?"

"No need, there are people everywhere anyway, and there are tens of thousands of horses in total, and they can't escape. Hum! ”

After a long run, the carriage finally regained its stability and continued to move on.

He Yuyao looked at the map for a while, and then gave a few words to the inner factory outside.

With a look of pointing at the country and scolding Fang Xuan, there is really some shadow of Jiang Ning.

Zheng Fangrui said curiously:

"You seem to enjoy seeing you like this?"

He Yuyao smiled: "Of course, I can feel the joy of power. ”

Zheng Fangrui shook her head and said disapprenously:

"Then you can't be like this for the rest of your life, we women should always find someone to rely on.

Marrying a good man and having children is what this kind of life is like.

Otherwise, what will I do when I get old? ”

When He Yuyao heard this, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Inexplicably, an extraordinary figure appeared in her heart.

Tianjin Wei Wharf.

Mu Bin waited for the arrival of the official ship with his own soldiers.

He could already see the flags flying from the ship in the distance.

The thought of what he would do later made him sigh in his heart.

I think that at the beginning, Jiang Ning was personally introduced to Jinyiwei by Mu Bin, originally thinking that after the new emperor ascended the throne, he would have someone in the court.

It's a pity that I didn't expect this person to grow up too fast, so fast that everyone is incredible.

And for the power in his hands, he Mu Bin can only kill the killer.

It's just that as the official ship docked, a figure slowly pacing down above made Mu Bin stunned.

"Zhang He? How could it be you? Where's your family, Lord Jiang? ”

"Commander Mou?"

Zhang He hurriedly got off the boat, ran to Mu Bin and saluted:

"How did you get the Commander Mou here? Didn't you get the news that Xia Guan went to Tianjin Wei today, and came to see you? ”

The corners of Mu Bin's mouth twitched immediately.
