Who Xu Jiangshan

Chapter 22
"Ning Chu, do you know what you're talking about?" In the Jinluan Hall, Man Chao Wenwu was silent, and Chu Ning knelt on the ground, listening to the majestic voice above his head.

"Master Wei was wronged. In the corruption case three years ago, the real mastermind was Uncle Lin Guo. Today, Uncle Lin's mansion was bombed, and all the gold from that year was blown up. All the people in the imperial capital can testify to this matter. Your Majesty will be careful." Chu Ning's voice resounded loudly in the Golden Hall.

"My Majesty, I have also seen this matter, the gold is indeed..."

"Qingyan!" Ye Laohou's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Ye Qingyan's words.

Chu Ning pursed his lips. It seems that Lord Ye also knew that the emperor would favor Uncle Lin Guo, so he didn't want Ye Qingyan to get involved in this muddy water.

Chu Ning looked up at the emperor, and continued: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, I beg the emperor to hand over this matter to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a thorough investigation. Uncle Guo has privately set up a gold selling cave in the mansion, and has hidden a large amount of gold underground. The secret of human beings, I think, the emperor can send someone to thoroughly investigate the uncle's mansion, it is best to dig three feet to see if there are other things hidden in the ground."

The emperor's sharp eyes fell on Chu Ning, who straightened his back even more.

There was a long silence in the golden hall. The emperor stared at Chu Ning for a long time, then suddenly shifted his eyes to Xie Ziyu who was standing aside, and asked, "Ziyu, what do you think about this matter?"

Xie Ziyu took a look at Chu Ning and said, "Reporting to my father, I thought that there must be something wrong with the sudden bombing of the uncle's mansion today. Uncle Lin Guo is loyal to the king and patriotic, and he is also diligent and frugal on weekdays. How could he set up a private sale?" Caves? So much gold? Therefore, my son’s suggestion is to thoroughly investigate this matter and return my uncle’s innocence.”

If it weren't for kneeling on the ground at this moment, and almost being poked a hole by the emperor's gaze, Chu Ning really wanted to laugh out loud. His Royal Highness Rong Wang has always had this ability to say black into white, distorting without trace In fact, it is obvious that the purpose is to convict someone, but it is natural to say "return his innocence".

Looking at the emperor's expression, Chu Ning knew that he was internally injured by Xie Ziyu's words. After a while, the emperor's eyes swept around the golden palace, and finally fell on Li Rui, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment: "Then Yi Ziyu As I said, leave this matter to Li Aiqing, I believe you will be able to thoroughly investigate the truth."

Li Rui is a staid old man. Chuning has never dealt with him. He only knows that this man is fair and strict, and he has offended many people because of this. It is also because he is loyal to the emperor that he is very likely to be on Uncle Lin's side, so Chu Ning bowed down and said respectfully, "I would like to assist Master Li to find out this matter together."

The emperor stared at Chu Ning for a while, and then said: "Then there will be Lao Ning's Ai Qing."

Chu Ning knew that the emperor must have the intention of killing her at this moment, thin sweat dripped from her back, but she put on a righteous look on her face, and said against her will: "It is the minister's responsibility to relieve the emperor's worries. Internal affairs."

After finally making it to the next court, Chuning touched the cold sweat on the palm of his hand, looked up at Li Rui who was walking towards the outside of the hall, followed in a few steps, raised a smiling face, and said, "Hey, Master Li, wait a minute its me!"

Chuning pestered Mrs. Li to visit the Uncle's Mansion, and it was already night when she returned home. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw a figure in Tsing Yi standing in front of her room door.

She walked up and smiled slightly: "Mu Jian, thanks to you today."

"I want to leave Prince Jin's Mansion." Mu Jian glanced at her and said.

Chuning smiled slightly: "I know you want to follow me, but now is not the time."

Just as Mu Jian was about to say something, he heard footsteps outside, and he frowned: "I'm going back first."

As soon as Mu Jian left, Ye Qingyan barged in and asked, "Ning Chu, what happened today? Could it be you who bombed the uncle's mansion?"

Chu Ning sat down on the soft couch in the courtyard, took the jug on the table, poured himself a glass, and poured another glass for Ye Qingyan, and said, "Master Hou, don't joke, how can a gentleman be an official? something like that?"

Ye Qingyan took the wine glass, sat down beside Chuning, looked at her while drinking, and said seriously: "Ning Chu, I believe in you."

Chu Ning was taken aback for a moment, and saw him put down his wine glass, put his hands on her shoulders, and continued: "Even if you are not a gentleman, I am still on your side. You did the bombing, and I will only applaud, and I will definitely not confess you."

"Then thank you so much, Lord Hou." Chu Ning twitched the corners of his lips.

After finally sending Ye Qingyan away, Chuning returned to the room and lay down on the bed, his nerves that had been tense for a whole day did not relax a little until this moment.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Ning went straight to Li Shangshu's residence, intending to drag Li Rui to handle the case early, but Li Rui was more active than her and went to the criminal department early.

Li Rui's work speed exceeded Chuning's expectations, and her enthusiasm for the case was beyond her imagination. For several days, Li Rui studied the case in a daze. If you squint your eyes and study the information, you will yawn and feel ashamed.

In fact, she has already thrown out most of the evidence. Li Rui only needs to pick up ready-made evidence to return to the emperor, but he has to check every piece of evidence. Although it is troublesome, this rigorous attitude makes Chu Ning felt relieved about him.

Five days later, the trial of the case came to a conclusion. Uncle Lin Guo was convicted of embezzling gold and framing others.

When the emperor heard the news, he almost spat out blood. He had clearly hinted to Li Rui that the uncle of the country was a loyal person.But after Li Rui investigated the case, he felt that the emperor was deceived by the uncle, so he impassionedly reprimanded the uncle in the hall, which caused all the civil and military officials in the court to have opinions on the uncle, and they all asked the emperor to convict the uncle. , to restore Wei Qing's innocence.

Things went smoothly beyond Chu Ning's expectations. The emperor naturally couldn't execute his uncle, so he could only bring out the deceased empress with a sad face, saying that the empress only had this younger brother. Finally, at Li Rui's suggestion, the uncle's family property was confiscated and distributed to the frontier.

Chu Ning is still satisfied with the result. Although Uncle Lin Guo is not dead, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Linglong was acquitted and Wei Qing was wronged.

"My Majesty, Lord Ning contributed a lot to the conclusion of this case so quickly. Lord Ning is extremely intelligent and upright. It just so happens that there is still a vacancy in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The veteran hopes that Lord Ning can assist the veteran and solve the emperor's problems." Just when Chuning was thinking about picking up Wei Linglong from prison, he suddenly heard Li Rui's words.She was startled, and looked up at Li Rui. She just stayed with him in the Ministry of Punishment for a few days in a disheveled state. She never thought that he would make such a request to the emperor.

She lowered her head and didn't look at the emperor's expression. Even without looking, she knew that the emperor might have gritted his teeth. She ruined his good deed. He wanted to kill her, but he couldn't find a reason. Li Rui came out like this again, it's no wonder he wasn't mad at him.

But as Li Rui was a veteran, the emperor had to sell his face. Therefore, Chu Ning, a small military adviser, was transformed into a servant of the Ministry of Punishment, a third-rank official.

This unexpected joy was really beyond Chuning's expectations, but this is probably the character in the legend, Chu Ning thought so.

After going down to court, Chu Ning was about to go straight to the jail, but officials, big and small, surrounded her and came up to congratulate her one by one.

Chuning pulled the corners of his lips to respond one by one, finally breaking out of the encirclement.

Uncle Zhang had already prepared a carriage and waited for her at the gate of the palace. As soon as she got into the carriage, the carriage galloped towards the prison.

In the dark prison, the jailer led Chuning forward. Wei Linglong had already changed out of her prison clothes and was wearing a plain dress. She was standing in the prison, looking at the mottled walls. When she heard footsteps, she turned around. Turning around, she looked at Chuning, her beautiful eyes sparkled, unable to speak for a long time.

"Linglong, I'm here to pick you up." Chu Ning asked the jailer to open the cell, looked at her with a slight smile, and continued, "Tomorrow, notices will be posted all over the country to rehabilitate Lord Wei. Your father can rest in peace."

Wei Linglong covered her mouth, sobbing uncontrollably.

The nightmare three years ago caused her to lose everything overnight. In the past three years, she was walking on thin ice and surviving in Fengyue Tower just for this moment.

Daddy, you can finally rest in peace under the Nine Springs!
Chu Ning took Wei Linglong back to the Ning Mansion, and the maid came up to greet her and said, "My lord, the hot water is ready."

Chu Ning smiled at Wei Linglong: "Go take a shower and change clothes first, I'll wait for you to have dinner together."

Wei Linglong nodded, and followed the maid to the bathroom.

That night, both of them were very excited. They chatted and chatted with each other. It was seamless, and the entire Ning Mansion was shrouded in a joyful atmosphere.

In the middle of the night, both of them were a little drunk. Chu Ning asked the maid to help Wei Linglong back to the room, and staggered towards the room by himself.

Just entering the room, Chu Ning staggered, Xie Ziyu supported her with one hand, she raised her head, and saw a jade-like face with a pair of phoenix eyes, looking at her without blinking at this moment.

Chu Ning usually pretended to be drunk when drinking outside, but now she was really drunk. She blinked, reached out to touch Xie Ziyu's face, and made a serious expression: "When did my place become His Highness's back garden? Your Highness So casual, have you ever asked my master's opinion?"

Xie Ziyu saw that she was unsteady, so he put his arms around her waist and asked cooperatively, "Huh? Then what's your opinion?"

Chu Ning felt drowsy, leaning his whole body on Xie Ziyu, yawned, and muttered, "My opinion, my opinion is naturally to sleep..."

Xie Ziyu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he picked up Chuning horizontally and carried him all the way to the bed.

As soon as Chuning's body touched the quilt, he couldn't help turning around comfortably, and hugged the quilt into his arms.

Xie Ziyu sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to take off her shoes and socks, and Chuning automatically tucked himself into the quilt.

Chuning's wine quality has always been very good. When drunk, he doesn't cry, make noise, swear, or fight, and just sleeps obediently.

It was rare for Xie Ziyu to see her so well-behaved. The soft moonlight streamed in quietly, covering her face with a layer of brilliance. With a thought, Xie Ziyu reached out and took off the mask on her face. He rarely had the opportunity to see her face. Seeing the real her, who would have thought that there would be such a beautiful face hidden under that ordinary appearance?
Thinking that this face only belonged to him alone, Xie Ziyu couldn't help but a touch of tenderness appeared in his eyes. He lowered his head, covered her delicate lips, gently pried open her white teeth, and unceremoniously enjoyed his exclusive His beauty.

As soon as he disturbed her, Chuning's drowsiness ran away a little bit. She opened her eyes in a daze, feeling a little dissatisfied: "Are you going to sleep? Leave if you don't."

"Sleep, of course sleep." Xie Ziyu looked at her drunken eyes, with a smile on his lips, he took off his shoes, socks and clothes, lifted the quilt and lay down.

Chu Ning was very sleepy, her eyelids closed again, and in a daze, she felt that someone had untied her clothes, but she was too sleepy, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

As soon as the sky turned pale, Chuning woke up. Without opening her eyes, she knew that there was an uninvited guest on the bed. She was still wearing underwear, but her chest was not restrained by cloth strips like in the past. It was obviously someone " Considerately, she untied her corset.

Chuning frowned slightly, not knowing how to react, it seemed that any reaction was wrong.

Someone pecked her lips suddenly, and Chu Ning suddenly opened her eyes, just in time to meet Xie Ziyu's smiling face, her face was calm, but the roots of her ears were quietly stained pink.

"It's almost dawn, why don't you go back?" Chuning asked solemnly.

"The nephrite jade is warm and fragrant, the beauty is in your arms, why do you want to go back?" Xie Ziyu replied solemnly.

Chuning choked, simply sat up, looked up at the top of the bed and said nothing.

Xie Ziyu didn't let her go, and sat up, held her face in his arms, and kissed her tenderly.

Chu Ning was breathless from the kiss, and was about to push him, when her underwear suddenly slipped down her shoulders. She was startled, and reached out to grab it, but Xie Ziyu gently pushed her body, and fell back on the bed.

A large area of ​​Chuning's snow-white skin was exposed, the snowy skin was thick and fat, and it was as good as Liangyu, Xie Ziyu's eyes darkened, and he leaned on him, and said in a hoarse voice: "I regret it, it's time. "

As soon as Chu Ning heard it, he understood what he was referring to. He couldn't help but get nervous, covered his eyes with his hands, and said in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, now is definitely not the time, someone will come to my place anytime..."

As soon as Chu Ning finished speaking, Su Ye's echoing voice sounded at the door: "Master, Master Ning is right, now is really not the time, there is news from the palace that the emperor is going to summon you, master, please don't be greedy." Nephrite jade is warm and fragrant."

As soon as Su Ye opened his mouth, the room suddenly fell into silence. Chu Ning stroked his forehead. This guy was haunted. Her voice was so low that he could still hear her.

"Go away from now on." Xie Ziyu said what was in Chuning's heart.

Su Ye was silent for a moment at the door, bit her lip and ran away aggrieved.It's wrong to hear too well!This day can't be passed!

Chuning laughed, and pushed Xie Ziyu: "Let's go."

Xie Ziyu looked a little displeased, he bit Chuning's lips, and said in a low voice, "Don't be complacent, you can hide from the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day."

Chuning couldn't laugh anymore.

Xie Ziyu curled his lips, stretched out his hand to straighten Chuning's clothes, took the mask beside her, and helped her put it on, then got up, dressed and went out.

On the way into the palace, Su Ye kept in mind his master's instructions and followed him from a distance. Xie Ziyu glanced at him calmly. Difficult to do!

Thinking of this, he looked up at Xie Ziyu's expression, saw that he seemed displeased, couldn't help but scratched his head, and asked, "Master, is this the expression of desire and dissatisfaction in the legend?"

"You better go away." Xie Ziyu twitched her lips.

Su Ye bit her lip and rolled away, she really was dissatisfied with desire!

But when he thinks that the fairy-like master finally has desires and dissatisfaction, he inexplicably feels a sense of pride that my family has just grown up.

As a conscientious guard, besides the safety of the master, the second concern is the lifelong affairs of the master. Unfortunately, for so many years, the master treats women like dirt, which makes him almost think that the master is either inhumane or has a broken sleeve. If the latter is okay, as the master's personal guard, he can always find a male favorite who satisfies the master. If it is really not good, it is acceptable to send himself up for nothing. Who will make him loyal?But if it's the former, then he really can't do anything.

Fortunately, the master is a normal man, Su Ye felt that after so many years of worrying, he could finally rest assured.

How did Xie Ziyu know that his guard had so many messy thoughts, if he knew, um, maybe he would just go away...

Just in time for a rest, after Chu Ning got up, he dragged Wei Linglong out of the house: "I've been bored for so long, it's time to go out for a stroll!"

Wei Linglong's heart fell to the ground, and she rested for another night. Her complexion improved a lot. She looked at Chu Ning, who was dressed in men's clothes, and said with a smile, "You have a special status now, so I can't call you A Ning anymore. Rumors say that I am your sweetheart, how about I call you Ning Lang?"

Chuning couldn't help laughing: "Ning Lang? Are you sure? Doesn't this break other people's minds?"

"Now I am Lord Ning's sweetheart. If it was an ordinary person, I would have no chance. If it was an extraordinary person, would I still be afraid of this obstacle?" Wei Linglong blinked, and there was a trace of teasing in her beautiful eyes.

Chuning laughed, grabbed Wei Linglong's shoulders, and made a frivolous look: "Don't worry, beauty, I will never let you down."

The weather is warm, and the willow trees on both sides of the Yujiang River have sprouted new buds, swaying slightly in the spring breeze, which adds a lot of spring to the imperial capital. Young men and women go out one after another, either on a boat or outing, which is very lively.

Chuning rented a cruise ship and went on a boat tour with Wei Linglong. The two stood on the deck, watching the beautiful spring scenery, and felt refreshed.
