Chapter 353 Ning Ning knows everything
Xie Mingan said coldly: "Master Qi's words are 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 matter."
"After all, it was the unruly people who caused trouble first . " It's really too bad to open someone's grave."
"It is said that death is like a lamp going out, but they use this as a threat. They deserve the consequences. After all, the Princess of Funing is my own, even if the county is. If the Lord doesn't deal with them, I will also settle the account!"
After the emperor said this, all the ministers shouted wisely.
Afterwards, the emperor looked at Xie Suzhi and said, "It's just that the war is in trouble right now. The Changliu Kingdom is taking advantage of our natural disasters and insufficient supplies of supplies to continue harassing the border areas."
"If Ning Ning can donate some gunpowder, it might be helpful. "
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."
"But I have to ask first whether Ning Ning has it or not."
The emperor nodded with a smile: "No problem, okay, let's decide this matter first."
After going to court.
Say goodbye 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 Ming'an was obviously a little anxious: "Father! How could you promise the emperor in court?"
"What if Ning Ning runs out of gunpowder? What if she can't give it to her?"
Xie Ming'an didn't know how much 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 just using it to fight back for yourself now.
Xie Suzhi's eyes were heavy, he tilted his head slightly and said, "You will be relieved of your duties later, don't go home yet."
"Go to our other courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing and show my token to the manager there, he will open a position "There are thirty kilograms of gunpowder in it."
"After a while, we will hand it over in the name of Ning Ning."
Xie Ming'an was surprised.
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. She left them behind."
Because gunpowder is very powerful and a lethal weapon.
Therefore, after Shen Siyi left, Xie Suzhi hid the things.
Xie Ming'an 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 held up his hands: "I don't know about this yet."
"Go and check!" Mo Ling Wei immediately gave the order, 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 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: "Have you stolen gunpowder?"
It turned out that before coming, someone had told General Chen that Jiang Zhi, who was new to the 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 usually leaves the affairs of the military camp to his son Chen Shaobei.
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!" 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 from the restraints.
Finally, she hugged the ankle that the other party kicked and twisted it hard!
Only the sound of bones dislocating was heard, and the other party screamed and fell to the ground.
General Chen's eyes were terrifyingly cold.
A little soldier dared to do something 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 covered her painful arm and looked at the surrounding soldiers fiercely and redly like a small animal.
"I didn't steal anything! Since I came to the Fire Barracks, I have been learning how to make gunpowder."
Chen Shaobei also said: "Father, I can vouch for her."
"You vouch for it?" General Chen's rough voice , 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's not like it's fake.
"It's absolutely impossible that Jiang Zhi got it. My son is willing to vouch for her. Please give me some time, father, and I will investigate thoroughly!" Chen Shaobei lowered his head with a clenched fist and said loudly.
General Chen looked at him deeply.
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 army."
"Everything you do and every word you say must be for I am responsible for this."
Then, General Chen stared at Jiang Zhi and turned around to leave.
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."
"In the next few days, you will go back to Xiangyun Village first. I will call you back after I find out."
Jiang Zhiyingli's eyebrows froze.
"Go!" Chen Shaobei waved his hand, urging her to leave immediately.
Because he wanted to investigate clearly.
If Shen Ningning really 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 frowned irritably.
Since ancient times, there has been a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety.
His father was loyal to the emperor, and he was loyal to the prince.
There are bound to be different choices.
At night.
Xie Suzhicai returned to the mansion in a sedan chair.
He has been busy all day today and has almost finished all his official duties.
In the next two or three days, he will go out with Shen Ningning to relax.
After all, this incident must have made the little guy sad.
"Old Pang, go and talk to the housekeeper of the villa and ask him to prepare in advance." Xie Suzhi ordered.
Someone gave him a mountain before, and he heard that there was an old village on it.
Xie Suzhi had people clean it up and transplant a lot of plum blossoms.
She will definitely be happy when Shen Ningning goes.
The housekeeper, Uncle Pang, 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's thin lips expressed fatherly love. A small smile.
He thought that his daughter and his wife had similar tastes in contemplation.
They all like to eat Jiangnan cuisine.
Xie Suzhi returned to the study first. He changed out of his outer 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 caught a glimpse of the dark night outside and said, "Close the door
before we talk." The secret guard obeyed and handed over his hands: "Master, it is not good to do something low-level, and let the second young master's people find out the whereabouts of that maid. " Xie Suzhi
stood up suddenly: "What are you doing? I clearly asked you to follow his people! When did he know?"
It's day."
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 follow suit.
However, the moment he opened the door.
The small figure standing in the cold wind stung Xie Suzhi's eyes.
Shen Ningning stood there without knowing when.
Her watery, dark eyes were flashing with astonishment and...
heavy disappointment.
