Chapter 61: Inquiry

"Yes." Ji Xianzhi nodded.

"So what is he unwilling to say?"

"When I continued to ask why the Dou family members wanted to kill Dou Xunen back then, Cheng Yue stopped talking. Later, no matter how I was punished, he refused to say another word. Cheng Yue is the most cowardly and boneless. If someone hadn't held his handle, he wouldn't have died so much. I asked Linyuan everywhere. Although I knew that this person had a very bad reputation, he treated his wife and children very well. He was also a family member. I thought it was the person behind him who held his wife and children in his hands, so he refused to say it."

"Uncle Ji, I think Cheng Yue is not unwilling to say this, but he really doesn't know. If you think about it carefully, you think that the Dou family will tell someone who can't stand the torture, behaves and cunningly, bullies the weak and fears the strong, and is not a relative of the Dou family? Even if Cheng Yue loves his wife and children, at the critical moment of life and death, Dou family can't guarantee that he can survive for his wife and children." Ning Nanyou asked, his brows furrowed.

Ji Xianzhi's face was solemn. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was indeed the truth.

"The Lord is right. In this way, Cheng Yue really knows nothing about what happened later..." Ji Xianzhi pondered for a moment, and said with a sad face, "So... the clue was cut off again."

"There was something else that Dou Xunen was killed back then. When we learned this, it was enough to continue to investigate. Uncle Ji didn't have to worry." Ning Nanyou turned the ring on his thumb and said softly, "But since Cheng Yue is useless, he naturally cannot stay. Find someone in his clan who has a grudge against him, try to kill him."

He said casually about Cheng Yue's treatment, and pushed open the door of the room expressionlessly, heading towards the low couch desk.

Ji Xianzhi followed him, stepped over the threshold, turned around and locked the door, stepped forward and leaned forward to spread the cushion for him, and helped him sit on the cushion, and continued, "King De came out of Luoyang this time in the name of disaster relief and dam repair, but rushed to Quanling, Lingling Prefecture, to kill his lord... Have you ever thought of a counterattack?"

Ning Nanyou lowered his eyes and thought for some reason, and smiled slightly, "Lu Xun also mentioned this, but he thought... I need to endure this anger and not fight back. This time it was my father's temptation, so that I would indulge my third brother in this way... Why didn't Uncle Ji not let me be more careful, but endure it... I also want to fight back?"

He raised his eyes and looked at Ji Xianzhi with a smile.

Ji Xianzhi's middle-aged vicissitudes of wrinkles were squeezed together due to the smiles. "I understand the lord. You must have figured out the way... It can not only dispel the suspicion of the King of Dai... but also fight back. You won't swallow your anger."

"If Lu Chengzhong knew me like Uncle Ji, I wouldn't have to talk to him a lot over the years." Ning Nanyou sighed, and suddenly became silent and silent.

He lay on his back, staring at the hanging beam and dazed, and a powerful figure gradually appeared in front of him. The man slowly turned around in the glittering circle, his face full of energy, and his warm smile slowly called him, "Zhao'er."

Ning Nanyou looked at the illusory figure in a daze, and smiled unconsciously, and unconsciously called out, "Teacher."

Ji Xianzhi heard this murmur and couldn't help but jump and called out at him, "Lord?"

A light call made Ning Nanyou come back from the endless past. When he turned his eyes, he saw a face hanging in front of him, with an expression of anxiety and worry.

He woke up, stopped his mind, and looked heavy, "Uncle Ji, I think...it's time to do it."

Ji Xianzhi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted for a while, and his heart trembled, "Lord...ready?"

"The teacher can't wait for too long... isn't it?" He leaned against the couch, looked at the blue sky outside the window, said in a low voice, and then lay down and continued, "The crimes about Ning Nankun collected in Longzhong two months ago... are available for all of them now."

"Does the lord want to... expose all these to the emperor and let the emperor deal with Ning Nankun?" Ji Xianzhi asked.

Ning Nanyou shook his head, "No, it's not for the emperor to deal with Ning Nankun."

Ji Xianzhi looked up at him with confusion.

"I want the emperor to punish me." Ning Nanyou said lightly.

"Punish you?" Ji Xianzhi did not hide his surprise at all.

"Not bad." Ning Nanyou said calmly, "Only by reassuring my father first, you can fight back slowly. Uncle Ji, the Shangshu Pushe Duan Xing can come. He hates me to the core. You should write a silk book in the handwriting of King De. Order someone to send it to the Shangshu De and hand it to Zhu Zicheng. Let him know it on purpose. When transferring these evidences to the Shangshu De, it must be explained that the robbery of official grains in the grain transport was because I abused the power of supervising and guarding, and it was me...

After selling all the official grains, he fled all the way to Lingling. In order to arrest me, King De chased me to Quanling County and fought with me, causing the wealth and people in Quanling to be damaged. He sent the elite guards who were staring at Ning Nankun to sell official grains to Duan Xing and told him that they were bandits who robbed official grains. Let these brothers not be too stern. After a few questions... he gave me out. Then he informed the prefect of Nanxiang County and asked him to have a play with Duan Xing."

"What is the purpose of lord doing this?" Ji Xianzhi didn't understand why Ning Nanyou wanted to recite the evidence of King De's crime to him. "If you are not careful... it will harm the lord without any benefit."

"Uncle Ji, don't worry, will I not be able to do anything to myself?" Ning Nanyou comforted her softly, then closed her eyes and said lightly.

Ji Xianzhi thought about it carefully and found that Ning Nanyou's arrangements were full of loopholes, which was more like a play, and it was a play specially set for King De.

He was worried, but he knew that Ning Nan was worried and thought that there would be no big mistakes in this, so he breathed a sigh of relief and responded.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Xianzhi remembered something again.

"Lord, old slave... there is another thing to report. Sun Chi, the prefect of Wuling County, was found dead on the streets of Linyuan yesterday."

"Death on the street?" Ning Nanyou raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Xianyi and asked, "Didn't Uncle Ji arrange a man and prepare to be a robber to massacre?"

"It's true... Sun Chi's statement only took a few days, and the governor of Jingzhou criticized the order to allow the situation in a month. The old slave was preparing to take action on the way back to his hometown of Sun Chi's clan... but he didn't know who would take me one step ahead... Sun Chi was naked, with whip marks and knife wounds on his eyes, and exposed his body on the street."

"The death is so tragic?" Ning Nanyou asked casually, his expression on his face was very dull and there was no turmoil, which surprised Ji Xianzhi.

"The lord didn't feel strange? How could Sun Chi expose his body on the street for no reason?" Ji Xianzhi asked.

Ning Nanyou turned his eyes and glanced at Ji Xianzhi, and said in a deep voice, "What do you see from the scars on Sun Chi's body?"

He changed the subject. Ji Xianzhi frowned slightly and replied, "The wound on Sun Chi's body seems to be caused by his death."

"It's interesting." Ning Nanyou laughed softly, and his eyes became cold. "Maybe Sun Chi died in his own secret room."

"The lord's intention?" Ji Xianzhi hesitated, "Someone asked Sun Chi to expose his body on the street, and cruelly whipped and stabbed his body... was it to bury his identity?"

"No," Ning Nanyou cast a hint of approval at him and said in a deep voice, "Do you know why that person would still be treated so cruelly after Sun Chi's death?"

Ji Xianzhi stared at me and thought for a long time, shook his head and asked in confusion, "The Lord knows why?"

"Who in the world uses long whips and never leaves the scimitar on his side?"

Ji Xianzhi paused again, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "The heroic demon."

"Yes. In the Great Wei Dynasty, people who are good at using long whips are quite accomplished, and those who walk through the rivers and lakes with a green jade scimitar are only demons." Ning Nanyou nodded and said, "This man is jealous of evil and is good at using methods, and is extremely cruel. He just happened to respond to the injuries on Sun Chi's body. The person who took Sun Chi's life... wanted us to think that this was the hands of the heroes and demons. The Sun Mansion... has been emptied at this moment, right?"

Ji Xianzhi looked at Ning Nanyou in surprise and said, "Yes, I went to visit in person yesterday evening. The Sun family had all left Linyuan and didn't know where to go. I interrogated and visited Sun Chi's private house for a week, and said that Mrs. Sun led the family out of the city before dawn and left Linyuan and headed south."

"It seems that the person behind the scenes has arranged Sun Chi's family." Ning Nanyou smiled coldly.

Ji Xianzhi frowned and said, "Does the lord want the old slave to send someone to track down the Sun clan?"

"No need. I want to thank the man who killed Sun Chi and saved me a troublesome thing." Ning Nanyou said lightly.

According to Ji Xianzhi, Sun Chi was probably dead before he left the city to see Dou Yueshan. He naturally remembered that Jiang Chengjia was wrong that day. He felt more and more that she would have no connection with Sun Chi's death that day.

He did spoil her, but it did not mean that he had completely let go of his guard against her. Ning Nanyou always believed that Jiang Chengjia was willing to marry him in the end not only because of that unbearable thing, but also because he wanted to clear the obstacles of the court for his brother.

In any case, he is Ning Zheng's second son. Starting from him and slowly inquire about the news is a reasonable explanation.

Ning Nanyou knew that Jiang Chengjia did not look as uncharacteristic as she looked as unconventional as she was on the surface, and was pure and simple. How could this woman who could be a friend of the Shui Pavilion Master Jiang Mengluo, really only had a love affair in her children and had no ambitions?

"Lord... seems to have known who was the one who killed Sun Chi?" Ji Xianzhi asked tentatively when he saw his eyes getting darker and darker.

Ning Nanyou did not answer and silently put away his guesses.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Ji Xianzhi knew that Ning Nanyou did not want him to continue asking questions, so he consciously skipped the topic, took out a bamboo scroll and a silk book from his arms and bowed and handed it over, saying respectfully, "Lord, this is the mansion report in Luoyang for nearly a month. In addition... Zhao Fu wants to see you."

"What's the reason?" Ning Nanyou didn't look up, and took Ji Xianzhi's hand over the bamboo scrolls and books, slowly opened them, and looked at them.

"In this battle, Zhao Fujing wanted to say goodbye to the world, so he gave up his name and followed his brothers to do great things with his lord." Ji Xianzhi kept bent over and answered calmly as he heard Ning Nanyou ask.

"I didn't expect that he would abandon his name in the world and the world and follow me." Ning Nanyou raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

Ji Xianzhi replied, "Zhao Fu said that he knew the intention of recruiting the king and respecting his wife very much. He was willing to use it for you. He believed that you were not as ruthless and cruel as rumored as rumored."

Ning Nanyou raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Xianzhi, raising his tone, "Who is looking at me like this?"

"Yes." Ji Xianzhi nodded and answered.

Ning Nanyou mocked himself, "I have never heard anyone say this in these years."

Ji Xianzhi's eyes stagnated, and he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when he heard what he said.
