Chapter 48

It was dusk when Ning Shuo returned to Duke Ning's mansion.Even though it's late July, it's still hot.The boy muttered, "This year is hotter than previous years."

But I miss the June when it rained every evening.Since entering July, it has not rained for half a month.

"Hey, if this continues, the crops in the field may not be good."

Hearing this, Ning Shuo paused, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go to Zhuangzi tomorrow."

He deliberately went to the main courtyard to ask Mrs. Li, "Mother, I seldom go to our family's Zhuangzi, and I can't remember where it is."

Mrs. Li liked how he was talking to her now, so she counted to him, "There must be Qiushan in the south. Since I sent you to Qiushan Academy to study, I bought a lot of land there."

"To the north is the Guyuan area, all of which are horse farms. Our family doesn't raise horses, so we don't own any real estate. Songshan has the most land in the west, not only in the Duke's mansion, but also in my dowry. It earns a lot of money every year. "

Ning Shuo listened to her patiently, and then asked, "What about Xiaoxi Mountain to the east?"

Mrs. Li thought for a while, "Xiaoxi Mountain is very remote, the fields are not fertile, but there are springs. Our family has a yard there, but the location is not good, and the springs are not good. Generally, we don't go there."

Ning Shuo said, "Mom, I want to go out of the city tomorrow to visit Zhuangzi."

Li was surprised: "Why are you going to Zhuangzi?"

Ning Shuo: "The sky is getting drier, I want to go and see the crops. My husband said that to be an official is to serve the people. If the drought continues, the people will suffer."

Li Shi was proud and pleased, "My son is really amazing."

I was going to arrange a trip soon, but was stopped by Ning Shuo, "I can go back and forth in a day by riding a horse. It's light and fast, and it's cumbersome to bring other things."

Mrs. Li did not force him to bring all the things, but asked, "Where do you want to go to Zhuangzi?"

Ning Shuo went with his family to the other courtyard on Xiaoxi Mountain.Back then, 100 million taels of silver were seized from that other courtyard to convict his father.

Now that the time is ripe and he has an excuse, he wants to go to another courtyard to see what happened.But you can't go directly, you have to tactful a few times.So he said: "Go to Qiushan first. After going there, I have to meet my husband and classmates. When I have time, I will go to Songshan to have a look. If I have time, I want to live in Xiaoxishan for a few days. I haven't gone yet." over there."

Mrs. Li nodded when she heard that, very happy, "I want to go for a walk, don't just study all day - seeing the vigor and vigor of your body now, my heart is finally relieved."

Then he chattered about the family affairs, and even complained about Ning Chao angrily, "He is just like your father, cold, like a piece of ice that can't be warmed, I really feel sorry for your sister-in-law, married for two years I haven't bought a hairpin for her yet. I also taught him to be kind to his wife and take good care of her, but he was very perfunctory."

Although she herself has never been given a hairpin, she is still sad for her daughter-in-law.

She wanted to teach Ning Shuo, "You are grown up now, and I know you are warm-hearted. Unlike the father and son, you should treat your wife well in the future. If you treat your wife well, I will save more for you." money."

It's like coaxing a child.

Ning Shuo felt that Mrs. Li was really a rare good person in the world.The better she was, the more guilty he felt.If she knew that Third Young Master Ning had passed away, she would be in despair.

He returned to the room, took out 100 taels of silver from Third Young Master Ning's personal pocket, drew the shape of a peony flower, gave the flower shape to the servant, and said, "Go to Zhenbao Pavilion to make a hairpin."

The servant left in response, Ning Shuo closed the door, and wrote the words "Xiaoxizhuang" on the paper.100 million taels of silver were found in Xiaoxi Zhuang Bieyuan, and 50 taels of silver were found from the second uncle.

I don't understand what Yu Chuan said today, the 50 taels of silver from my second uncle is probably really greedy...but it's not necessarily true.Because Bu Yuchuan meant that his father must have been embezzled.

He dropped the pen with a headache.

If it wasn't for him or his family members, not only Yu Chuan's words and expression today, he would believe that his family was full of corrupt and bribe-taking people.

And even if he was with Ming Ting, when Bu Yuchuan told about the bribery case of his second uncle's family, he couldn't help suspecting that his second uncle might have really taken bribes.

Because he has never been in contact with the second uncle, he doesn't know what the second uncle is like, he is just like the people in the world, because he has little contact with his father, he feels that his father is a corrupt official.

Fortunately, his father still has him, and he never doubts his father's incorruptibility and loyalty.

He alone is enough.

He took a deep breath, picked up the pen again, and wrote the words Bu Yuchuan and King Jin on the paper.

When something happened with the family, he and his father were immediately arrested and put into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.The father was locked in the A-character room to the west, and he was locked in the B-character room to the south.

The two have never met or spoken since they were arrested.From being arrested to being sent to Lingnan, Ning Shuo has been kept in a dark prison, never seeing anyone, and being tortured every day.

It was a winter day, in the twelfth lunar month, he was hung and beaten, day by day, he was bitten to death and did not let go, but his father did.

I was extremely desperate at the time, but I gritted my teeth and held on.

Everyone in the world will believe that his father is corrupt, but he will not.If even he believed it, how desperate would his father be?

Later, he found out that his father was dead, and all the servants who accompanied the family died, those who sold them were sold, and the whole family was killed.

It became an iron case.It became an unspeakable nightmare when he dreamed back at midnight in Lingnan.

He wrote down everyone involved in this matter, including Bu Yuchuan.The suspicion that Bu Yuchuan is the man of King Jin was also pondered over by him in the nights when he almost went crazy.

The longer he thought about it, the more he decided that Bu Yuchuan was King Jin's man.

But now, after four years of silence, and reading books with Bu Yuchuan for a month as the Third Young Master Ning, he gradually had another idea.

What if... Bu Yuchuan is not from King Jin, does he really think that his father and second uncle are corrupt and accepting bribes?

This thought made him restless, but he didn't dare to categorically deny it. It took him a lot of effort to clear his mind.

He wanted to avenge his father and his family, instead of denying everything that happened back then.If everything is denied, the investigation will go astray.

He could only clutch his suddenly constricted heart and draw a half-empty and half-solid line on the paper that said King Jin and Bu Yuchuan.

If you have doubts, you have to have doubts in your heart.If Bu Yuchuan is not a member of the King of Jin, then there is a way to use his temperament to help investigate the events of the year.

Regardless of whether he is or not, it is necessary to make a good plan from him.Buyuchuan can definitely be used.Only when you see him clearly can you make good use of him.If you use it wrongly, things will fail.

He suppressed his hostility and thought about it for a while, then he figured it out, squatted down, lit the two sheets of paper with flint and burned them, and got up only after seeing that there was no ashes on the paper.

The room suddenly became stuffy.He felt suffocated, so he couldn't help but went to the garden to hide from the cool.The wind is rustling, and there is a coolness, and the heart is much calmer.

Then I met Sheng Yanling and Wu girl.The two little girls are talking about Princess Shun's congratulatory gift.

The fourth prince became King Shun, and the fourth prince's concubine naturally became Princess Shun.This is also a good thing for Duke Ning's mansion. If there is a banquet in Prince Shun's mansion, Duke Ning's mansion will have a feast.

Ning Shuo met with them, and heard the fifth girl ask, "Third brother, Yanling and I thought that what the mansion sent was the man's heart, and what we gave was our heart, so we wanted to give something separately. What do you think is a good gift?"

Ning Shuo: "Rouge powder?"

Now it's not just the fifth girl, even Sheng Yanling laughed, thinking that the third cousin really doesn't understand these things.

She made up her mind that she didn't want to talk to her cousin, lest she wanted him to "learn" from her husband, which would cause her to commit serious crimes.So he lowered his head and pursed his lips with a smile and said nothing.

But when he lowered his head, he saw the little unicorn hanging on third cousin's body.

This was given to my third cousin when he first came to the mansion, but he didn't expect him to wear it all the time.

Ning Shuo had already seen her expression.Seeing her lowering her head first, and then staring at his little unicorn, although he didn't quite understand what she meant in a daze, but he was so familiar with her that he immediately caught the inexplicable expectation in her eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "Cousin... my cousin's unicorn seems to have a very good meaning. After I wear it, I always feel refreshed. Why don't you ask my cousin to help me make another one?"

Sheng Yanling's eyes slowly lit up. Although she tried her best to hide her expression, Ning Shuo could still see her joy from the corners of her mouth and eyebrows that were crooked when she smiled.

She nodded reservedly, "Okay—then I'll make some more for my cousin."

There are several more on Mr.

Then I prayed in my heart that God would not blame her: this is what my cousin asked for, no wonder she, she is also for the good of my cousin.

She kept thinking in her heart, hoping for an echo: No blame, God doesn't blame me.
