Chapter 353 Ningning Knows Everything

Xie Mingan said coldly: "Lord Qi, what you said is really absurd."

"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 makes sense."

Mo Lingwei frowned beside him: "Father!"

The emperor silently changed his words: "In fact, I also know that this matter can never be blamed on the princess."

"After all, it was the unruly people who made trouble first, and they dug up other people's graves, which is really too bad."

"It is said that when a person dies, it is like a light going out, but they use this to threaten, and they deserve such consequences. After all, Princess Funing was conferred by me personally. Even if the princess does not deal with them, I will settle the accounts!"

After the emperor said this, the ministers shouted wise.

Afterwards, the emperor looked at Xie Suzhi and said: "It's just that the war is difficult now. Changliu Kingdom took advantage of our natural disasters and insufficient supplies to harass the border."

"If Ningning can donate some gunpowder, it may be helpful."

Xie Suzhi is well versed in the way of monarch and ministers.

Knowing that the emperor said this, he had already retreated.

He frowned and cupped his hands: "I know, I will discuss it with Ningning when I go back."

"But, I still need to ask Ningning whether she has it or not."

The emperor nodded with a smile: "No problem, okay, then let's decide on this matter first."

After leaving the 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 low voices.

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

"What if Ningning has no gunpowder? What if I can't give it?"

Xie Mingan didn't know how much his mother Shen Siyi left for his 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 himself now.

Xie Suzhi's eyes were heavy, he tilted his head slightly and said: "You will be dismissed in a while, don't go home yet."

"Go to our villa in the suburbs of Beijing and show my token to the manager there. He will open the warehouse. There are 30 kilograms of gunpowder in it."

"After a while, we will hand it over in the name of Ningning."

Xie Mingan was shocked.

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

It turned out that he secretly hid gunpowder!

"Father, you are a senior 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."

Because gunpowder is powerful and a lethal weapon.

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

At this time, Xie Mingan and Xie Suzhi were grateful to their mother/wife Shen Siyi for her cleverness.

Many of the things she left behind saved their families at critical moments.

Over there, Mo Lingwei also kept Chen Shaobei.

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

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

"Go check!" 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 others know."

"Okay, I'll go now." Chen Shaobei left.

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

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

"Let me go!" Jiang Zhi was grabbed by the arm by General Chen's men.

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

General Chen was like a tall mountain, majestic and fierce.

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

It turned out that before coming, someone had told General Chen that Jiang Zhi, who had just entered the military camp, had a close relationship with Princess Funing!

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

General Chen usually handed over the affairs of the military camp to his son Chen Shaobei.

After knowing this, he was extremely angry.

There should be no dirty people in the military camp.

Not to mention stealing gunpowder!

"I didn't steal!" Jiang Zhi said, and the soldiers on the side raised their feet and wanted to kick her on the shoulder.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhi was the first to react, and she was ruthless and swung her arms to break free from the restraints.

Finally, she hugged the ankle of the other party who kicked over and twisted it hard!

There was only a sound of bone dislocation, and the other party screamed and fell to the ground.

General Chen's eyes were terribly cold.

A small soldier dared to take action in front of him.

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

"Stop!" Chen Shaobei hurried over and blocked Jiang Zhi behind him.

Jiang Zhi covered her painful arm, her eyes like a little beast, looking at the soldiers around her fiercely.

"I didn't steal anything! After I came to the Fire Battalion, I have been learning how to make gunpowder."

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

"You vouch?" General Chen's voice was rough, without a trace of 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.

This doesn't seem to be 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 while, he said: "This matter is very important. I hope you remember that you are my son, Chen Zhengfeng, and the major general of the Chen family army."

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

Afterwards, 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 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.

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's thin lips showed a faint smile of fatherly love.

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 and then talk."

The secret guard obeyed and handed over his hand: "Sir, I did something wrong in my humble position and let the Second Young Master's people 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?"

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

Xie Suzhi pressed his eyebrows.

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

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

A heavy disappointment.
