Chapter 353 Ning Ning knows everything

Xie Mingan said coldly: "What Mr. Qi said is really ridiculous."

"If Shen Ningning did nothing wrong, why should she hand over the gunpowder?"

When the emperor heard it, he thought it was feasible.

“I think what Qi Aiqing said is reasonable.”

Mo Lingwei frowned at the side: "Father!"

The emperor silently changed his words: "Actually, I also know that the princess is definitely not to blame for this incident."

“After all, it was the unruly people who made trouble first and dug up other people’s graves. It’s really too bad.”

"It is said that death is like a lamp going out, but they are threatening them with this. They deserve such consequences. After all, Princess Funing is my own fief. Even if the princess does not deal with them, I will still settle the score!"

 The emperor said this, and all the ministers shouted wisely.

Then, the emperor looked at Xie Suzhi and said: "It's just that the war is now in trouble. Changliu Kingdom is taking advantage of our natural disaster and insufficient supply of materials to continue harassing the border."

“If Ning Ning could donate some gunpowder, it might help.”

 Xie Suzhi is well versed in the ways of kings and ministers.

 Knowing that the emperor said this, he was already regressing.

He frowned coldly and cupped his hands: "I know, I will discuss it with Ning Ning when I get back."

“It’s just that I have to ask clearly whether Ning Ning is there or not.”

The emperor smiled and nodded: "No problem, okay, then let's decide this matter first."

 Down towards the back.

 Farewell to the officials who came to talk.

Xie Suzhi and Xie Mingan, father and son, walked on the snowy palace road.

 The two talked in lowered voices.

Xie Mingan was obviously a little anxious: "Father! How can you promise the emperor in court?"

 “What if Ning Ning runs out of gunpowder? What if we can’t give it?”

Xie Ming'an didn't know how many things his mother Shen Siyi had left for her sister.

He just guessed that if there was a lot of gunpowder, Shen Ningning should have taken it out long ago.

 Instead of using it to fight back for yourself now.

Xie Suzhi's eyes were heavy. He tilted his head slightly and said, "You will be dismissed soon, so don't go home yet."

"Go to our other courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing and show my token to the steward there. He will open a warehouse. There are thirty kilograms of gunpowder in it."

“After a while, we will hand it over in the name of Ning Ning.”

 Xie Mingan was shocked.

No wonder his father Xie Suzhi was so calm just now.

It turned out that he actually hid gunpowder secretly!

"Father, you are a high official in the court. According to the law, you cannot hide gunpowder."

"This is not mine," Xie Suzhi sighed: "When your mother was alive, she liked to tinker with these things. They were left behind by her."

 Because gunpowder is very powerful and a lethal weapon.

 So, after Shen Siyi left, Xie Suzhi hid the things.

 Xie Mingan and Xie Suzhi were both grateful to their mother/wife for her thoughtful astuteness.

Many of the things she left behind actually saved her family at critical moments.

Over there, Mo Lingwei also left Chen Shaobei behind.

He lowered his cold eyebrows and asked in a low voice: "I heard that Shen Ningning went to the Fire Barracks before. Did you get the gunpowder from there?"

 Chen Shaobei was startled and raised his hands: "I don't know about this yet."

"Go and investigate!" Mo Lingwei immediately ordered, glanced at the gloomy sky outside, and said, "Even if Shen Ningning took it, destroy the evidence and don't let anyone else know about it."

 “Okay, I’ll go right away.” Chen Shaobei left.

He galloped on his horse and rushed to the Fire Barracks.

Unexpectedly, his father, General Chen, had already arrived first.

 “Let me go!” Jiang Zhi’s arm was grabbed by General Chen’s men.

 They pressed hard and Jiang Zhi was forced to kneel on the ground.

General Chen is like a majestic mountain, majestic and majestic.

 He looked at Jiang Zhi: "Did you steal gunpowder?"

It turns out that before coming, someone had told General Chen that Jiang Zhi, who was new to the military camp, had a close relationship with Princess Funing!

  It can even be said that Jiang Zhi was brought in through Shen Ningning's relationship!

 General Chen left all military affairs to his son Chen Shaobei to take care of the affairs of the military camp.

 After knowing this, he was extremely angry.

 There should be no people with unclean hands and feet in the military camp.

 Not to mention stealing gunpowder!

"I didn't steal it!" After Jiang Zhi said this, the soldier on the side raised his foot and wanted to kick her on the shoulder.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhi was the first to react, and fiercely threw her arms to break free.

Finally, she hugged the ankle that the opponent kicked and twisted it hard!

 Only heard the sound of bones dislocating, and the other party screamed and fell to the ground.

General Chen’s eyes were terrifyingly cold.

 A small soldier dared to attack in front of him.

 He stretched out his big palm and was about to pinch Jiang Zhi's neck.

 “Stop!” Chen Shaobei hurriedly ran over and blocked Jiang Zhi behind him. Jiang Zhi held her painful arm and looked at the surrounding soldiers fiercely and redly like a small animal.

"I didn't steal anything! I have been learning how to make gunpowder since I came to the Fire Barracks."

Chen Shaobei also said: "Father, I can vouch for her."

 “You guarantee it?” General Chen’s rough voice was without any emotion.

The military advisor beside him stepped forward and persuaded Chen Shaobei: "Major General, our people just found out that there is less gunpowder..."

What? !

Chen Shaobei subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Jiang Zhi behind him.

She was also a little surprised.

 It doesn’t seem like it’s just pretending.

"It's absolutely impossible that Jiang Zhi took it. My son is willing to vouch for her. Please give me some time, father, and I will make a thorough investigation!" Chen Shaobei lowered his head with a fist and raised his head loudly.

General Chen looked at him with deep eyebrows.

 After a long time, he said: "This matter is of great importance. I hope you remember that you are my son, Chen Zhengfeng, and the major general of the Chen family's army."

 “Everything you do, every word you say, you must be responsible for.”

 Then, General Chen stared at Jiang Zhi, turned around and left with his men.

 After they all left, only Chen Shaobei and Jiang Zhi were left.

“Major General, I really didn’t steal the gunpowder. I can assist you in a thorough investigation.” Jiang Zhi explained hurriedly.

 Chen Shaobei shook his head: "You should avoid suspicion."

"You will go back to Xiangyun Village in the next few days. I will call you back after I find out."

Jiang Zhiyingli’s eyebrows were startled.

 “Go!” Chen Shaobei waved his hand, urging her to leave immediately.

 Because, he wants to investigate clearly.

If it was really Shen Ningning who took it, he would have to listen to Mo Lingwei and destroy the evidence.

 However, Chen Shaobei remembered the words of his father, General Chen.

 He closed his eyes and furrowed his brows in annoyance.

 Since ancient times, there has been a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety.

 The father was loyal to the emperor, and he was loyal to the prince.

  Destined to have different choices.

 At night.

Xie Suzhicai returned to his mansion in a sedan chair.

He has been busy all day today and has almost handed over all his official duties.

 In the next two or three days, he will accompany Shen Ningning to go out and relax.

 After all, this incident must have made the little guy sad.

“Lao Pang, go and talk to the housekeeper of the villa and ask him to prepare in advance.” Xie Suzhi ordered.

  Someone had given him a mountain before, and he heard that there was an abandoned village on it.

 Xie Suzhi has had people clean it up and transplant a lot of plum blossoms.

 When Shen Ningning goes, he will definitely be happy.

Uncle Pang, the housekeeper, nodded: "Okay."

Xie Suzhi added: "Bring two more cooks over. Ning Ning likes the two cooks in our house who cook Jiangnan cuisine."

Thinking of this, Xie Suzhi felt a faint smile of fatherly love on his thin lips.

He thought that his daughter and his wife had similar tastes for contemplation.

 They all like to eat Jiangnan cuisine.

Xie Suzhi returned to the study first. He changed out of his robe and planned to send a secret letter before going to see his precious daughter.

 At this time, a secret guard knocked on the door and entered.

"What's wrong?" Xie Suzhi asked, but he glanced at the dark night outside and said, "Close the door and then talk."

The secret guard obeyed and handed over his hand: "Sir, I did something bad in my humble position, so I asked the Second Young Master's people to find out the whereabouts of that maid."

Xie Suzhi suddenly stood up: "What are you doing? I clearly asked you to follow his people! When did he know about it?"

“The second young master set up a trap. I made a miscalculation and... I should have known about it for three or four days.”

 Xie Suzhi pressed his eyebrows.

He decisively ordered: "You leave for Changzhou now. You can't keep that maid, so kill her."

"But Master, if you kill her, how can you investigate the real cause of my wife's death?" the secret guard persuaded hard.

Xie Suzhi's eyes turned cold: "I can plan this matter slowly, but I will never let Ning Ning know that she is my biological daughter, and she is more important now!"

The secret guard had no choice but to get up immediately and do what he was told.

 However, the moment he opened the door.

That little figure standing in the cold wind stung Xie Suzhi's eyes.

Shen Ningning didn’t know when she was standing there.

Her watery, dark eyes were flashing with astonishment, and...

 Heavy disappointment.
