Chapter 345: Arrogant Little Ningning

 At that time, Shen Ningning was in the palace, showing the results of her and Dong Sanhua to the emperor.

“We only used three rooms, and we cultivated fifty sweet potato vines one after another, and each of them produced about two hundred sweet potato vines.”

“The most indispensable thing in Xiangyun Village now is sweet potato vines. Aunt Sanhua is an expert in this field. She estimates that the next harvest will only take about half a month.”

 As long as the temperature and soil are well controlled, you can achieve a bumper harvest.

 This is the toughness and advantage of the sweet potato vine.

Even the emperor couldn't help but nod in praise.

At this moment, Baili Fei rode into the palace, raised the blue flag and shouted -

“Princess Funing, urgent report from Nanzhou, this is for you alone!”

 When Shen Ningning heard the word Nanzhou, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She stood up quickly and rode into the hall quickly. Her felt hat and eyebrows were covered with heavy snow dust, and even her mouth was pale from the cold.

 But he looked panicked and hurriedly handed the well-protected letter in his arms to Shen Ningning.

 The little guy opened it quickly.

The letter was written by Mr. Zhang Liu’s most trusted servant, Zhang Wei.

Shen Ningning's pupils narrowed and her big eyes trembled and flickered.

Mo Lingwei saw her face turn pale.

"What's wrong?"

The emperor also had a bad premonition and immediately stepped forward to ask Feiqi: "But what happened in Nanzhou?"

Feiqi knelt down and reported, breathing quickly: "Go back to the emperor, Mr. Zhang Liu is dead!"

 “What!” the emperor was shocked.

Feiqi said: "Master Zhang Liu was ordered to buy land and build a warehouse in Nanzhou and recruit farmers to help."

“Just when the sweet potato vines were about to bear fruit, they accidentally knocked over the candles and a fire burned everything clean!”

Shen Ningning tightened her fingers and bit her lip, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

 Zhang Wei is a trustworthy person.

He said in the letter that Zhang Liuye drank with the farmers he invited because he was celebrating that the sweet potato vine was about to see hope.

Unexpectedly, they fell asleep in the warehouse after being drunk, knocked over the lamps, caused a fire, and burned all the vines into a sea of ​​​​fire.

 Not only was Zhang Liuye burned to death, he also burned to death the six most powerful farmers he had trained.

 The success of the sweet potato vines in Nanzhou is all due to them.

Not only that, more than a dozen refugees who followed Mr. Zhang Liu there also died in the flames because of fighting the fire.

 Zhang Liuye and his hard work were destroyed by a fire.

Mo Lingwei saw Shen Ningning's fingers trembling with anger.

 He stepped forward, looked at the little guy with a frown, and gently put his hand on her shoulder: "Don't blame yourself."

"Someone must have deliberately sabotaged it." Shen Ningning's voice was filled with angry vibrato.

  She raised her head: "When the harvest was about to be harvested in large quantities and we had already seen the dawn, someone suddenly set off this fire, which destroyed our hope."

Shen Ningning lifted her skirt and immediately knelt down towards the emperor.

"Uncle Emperor, please allow me to go to Nanzhou immediately to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Mo Lingwei frowned subconsciously: "No! It's an 800-mile journey to Nanzhou. Not only is the distance long, but it's also covered in ice and snow. How can you do it alone?"

 He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."

How could the emperor feel relieved when he heard that Mo Lingwei was leaving?

"You two, don't be impatient about this, let me think about it."

Shen Ningning's clear eyes were red: "Uncle Emperor! This matter cannot be left alone."

“In previous letters, Mr. Liu has reported a lot of good news to me.”

“The six farmers he trained have learned how to transplant flowers and trees. A sweet potato vine can grow in three sections, which greatly increases our hopes.”

“If someone really did damage, then he didn’t just burn the vines and kill people.”

“He also ruined our efforts over the past three months, and he ruined the hopes of tens of millions of starving people in Cangyun Kingdom!”

 The emperor looked serious, feeling deeply that what Shen Ningning said was true.

Of course he can't give up.

But now, there are frequent wars, enemy countries outside are looking at us, and disaster victims inside are causing chaos from time to time.

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that you are too young, so I am really worried about sending you there, and I am not responsible for your safety.”

Shen Ningning wiped away her tears with her little hands and stood up.

Her waxy voice has calmed down: "Then there is one more person I can recommend." "Who?"

"Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Xie Ming'an." Shen Ningning said decisively.

 The eunuch's eyes also lit up.

He then said: "Your Majesty, Xie Shaoqing is a great person. He is known as a child prodigy at the age of five. He can handle cases and distinguish between loyal and traitors at the age of seven."

“I heard that Xie Shaoqing has solved thousands of cases during his three years in office and has never made any mistakes. He is truly a man of discernment.”

The emperor thought for a moment and nodded solemnly: "Okay! Send a message to thank Ming'an and go to Nanzhou immediately!"

 Outside the snowy city, there is an endless expanse with no end in sight.

Shen Ningning was wearing a scarlet cloak and a rabbit fur hat, with a pink face.

 She came to see Xie Mingan off.

 After the emperor's decree came down, Xie Mingan accepted it without saying a word.

 Xie Mingan didn't expect that she would come to see him off.

After thinking about it, he pretended to be cold: "It's freezing cold, you should go back as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, if you get sick, your father will blame me again. Don't worry, this case will be resolved in a month."

Shen Ningning pursed her lips, looking serious like a young adult.

 She stepped forward silently and gave Xie Ming'an a baggage.

“Here are the letters Zhang Liuye exchanged with me, so that you can identify his handwriting after you go there.”

Xie Mingan took it and nodded: "I understand, what else do you want to say?"

Shen Ningning puffed up her pink cheeks, her eyes were watery and dark, a little resentful, but also like a little arrogant.

 She pinched her sleeves with her little hands: "You...you wish for a lot of blessings!"

After Shen Ningning finished speaking, she quickly turned around and climbed into her carriage as if her **** had been burned by fire.

  She also waved her little hands, asking Du Chun and Wan Chun to leave with her quickly.

Her carriage drove away in a hurry.

  Xie Mingan still stood there, watching her leave.

The attendant asked: "Second Young Master, why did the princess lose her temper again?"

 Xie Mingan lowered his head and glanced at the heavy package in his hand.

He sneered: "She's not losing her temper. She's clearly at odds with me."

 “I wanted to remind me that I had a safe journey, but I kept talking back.”

With that said, he got into the carriage and headed for Nanzhou with a group of entourage.

On the way, Xie Mingan unpacked his baggage.

 Originally I wanted to see if there were any clues in Zhang Liuye’s letters.

Unexpectedly, when I opened the bag, I found Shen Ningning's neatly packed items.

There are spiritual herbs in small porcelain bottles, a box of red clay snacks with little rabbits, and two large slices of dried pork.

 At the bottom, in addition to Zhang Liuye's letter, there is also a note left by Shen Ningning.

 The instructions for using the spiritual grass are written above.

 In the last line, the little guy wrote—

I asked you to find my parents for me. I know it’s difficult for you. In fact, I don’t have much hope, so I changed my mind. If you can find out the cause of Zhang Liuye’s death, I will forgive you. 】

 At the bottom of the footer, there are four very small words.

 If you don’t look carefully, you really won’t see it.

  written by Shen Ningning—

  【You are also safe. 】

He also drew a small face with his tongue sticking out.

 Xie Mingan read her note several times.

 Finally, a gentle smile appeared on her thin lips.

 He folded the letter and thought: My eldest brother must have never received such careful instructions from her, right?

In this way, he doesn’t need to ask anymore. It’s better for him to be his eldest brother.

 He is definitely better.

I was sorting out my notes today and found out that the names I had given to the old village chief’s family were: Longevity, Auspiciousness, and Wealth. Hahahaha~ There are only two chapters today, so enjoy it slowly.
