Chapter 110: Call My Aunt
Zhou Ze shrank his neck.
He was not opposed to promotion, but Hejiang has not yet achieved results and has not made any money, but the stall has been spread out. If he leaves, it will be useless in the early stage. What can we do to waste money?
Besides, it is hard to convince the public that he has helped King Ning expose a conspiracy and directly transferred to Jingzhou or Prince Ning's Mansion.
After all, I am a seventh-rank county magistrate, but the chief is not a three-level jump from the fifth-rank, and Zhou Ze's fingers are not enough to count.
As for Jingzhou, it is even more unrealistic. Not only is it difficult for airborne troops to carry out work, but you have to be ninjas even if you give them little shoes. You can't go to Ning Wang for everything.
"Thank you, Wang Houai, I have just arrived in Hejiang and have not achieved any results. I have worked with Wang Duwei quite well. I also hope to do something for Baisha Castle and Hejiang. Let's stay in Hejiang."
With regret on his face, Ning Wang patted Zhou Ze's arm and helped him up.
"Zhou Ze, you really surprised me. Keep the token of the Chief Secretary first, and don't tell me about it, but I will still often ask you something. Your position as a county magistrate can remain unmoved for the time being, according to what you said.
You talk to me in private, don’t call yourself a minister, just be a little casual. As for this case, there are not many people who can be investigated at present. Do I need to send someone to take you to the Jingzhou Prefecture Office to review the files?"
Before Zhou Ze could answer, a knock on the door rang.
"Your Highness, the Chief Secretary's people are back."
"Enter."
Zhou Ze looked at the door, Old Xu pushed the door and came in. Seeing King Ning, he quickly saluted, and then walked to Zhou Ze.
"After checking the file, Ying Ning's maid was killed by a stick after being in Jingzhou Prefecture. It is said that it was because of the disadvantage of protecting the master. As for the file file in this case, it was missing a few pages and was deliberately destroyed.
The maid was asked at the time, and some of the torn parts were left. I brought them back, but the official document records that the bad person in charge of the case had been killed."
As he said that, he did not avoid it and handed it to Zhou Ze directly.
Zhou Ze wanted to curse himself, but you didn’t know that you would say it later, so straightforwardly, there were these small actions in front of King Ning. He was just taking the errand, so don’t stay.
However, he still kept a smile on his face, and even raised his hand to pat Lao Xu on the shoulder.
Old Xu was no longer surprised by the action of patting the shoulder, but King Ning saw it and seemed to be very interested in this etiquette. After all, this is the greatest encouragement for his subordinates.
Zhou Ze gritted his teeth and took the broken file. It was recorded in two parts on a piece of paper. It should have been torn in a hurry, leaving three lines of handwriting on it.
Autumn chrysanthemum is called jade bamboo
A man wearing a white trouser
Jade pendant
There were thirteen incomplete characters in total. Zhou Ze looked at the window and looked at the edge. The character "时" should be the character "花" and the character "时" should be the character "花".
"Qiuju should have followed Ying Ning to Yuzhu Temple and met the man, who was wearing a white robe and a mask. As for this jade pendant, it should refer to the Dragon Order, but what is the use of the Dragon Order to Ying Ning?
Could it be that she has expectations? Or it is a promise that at critical moments, she can get a response or survive?”
Zhou Ze analyzed and muttered to himself.
He did not say that the man in a white robe wearing a mask might be the one who had a skin relationship with Ying Ning. After all, this is related to the decency of King Ning. If he didn't marry, he was once the concubine's choice.
Furthermore, the zodiac rumor spread throughout Jingzhou and even the capital. I am afraid that it was the brothers of Ning Wang who took advantage of the issue.
"Yuzhuan? I will send someone to investigate later. Zhang Zhixiong, the demon hunter, has arrived. Let them deal with the rest of the matter. I will not be distracted. Thank you for your hard work, so the case will be investigated here."
Zhou Ze and Lao Xu both stood up to salute, and this sentence was the final conclusion.
However, when Zhou Ze heard the words Zhang Zhixiong, his heart trembled. This is Lao Xu’s junior brother. If he really meets him, he will probably be exposed.
In fact, after finding this case, it has been concluded. It is difficult to analyze what is just based on this jade pendant and the remaining perceptions on the jade pendant.
After all, a war is imminent, conspiracy is always a conspiracy, and a real battlefield is the best manifestation of conspiracy.
Next, the Ying family either sacrifices the flag or is undermined.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ze took a look at the direction next door.
"What should Yingrui do with it? When the other party contacted her, she ignored it, and then she attracted the other party's poisoning and was even more beaten."
King Ning paused and sighed.
"Liu Cheng."
Liu Cheng pushed the door and came in, knelt on one knee to salute and wait for the order.
"Subordinate is here."
"Send someone to pick up the twelfth lady to the royal palace, send pensions to the dead bad man's house, and tell his family that I am grateful to him for helping me save my concubine.
The war is coming, and the marriage will be simple, tomorrow will be the wedding date. As for Yingdecai... I fell drunk and couldn't speak, so I asked Manager Zhu to take over Ying's family, several sons and nephews who were in the court to leave a post in the name of my king, and they will know what to do."
"Here."
Liu Cheng stood up and retreated. The moment he closed the door, he could see the person who had changed his guard outside. It was obvious that the inn had been cleared.
King Ning then looked at Zhou Ze, as if he was feeling a little moved.
"I will follow the instructions of my grandfather. Since Yingrui can protect herself, then choose her. Why don't you ask me? Why did you suddenly decide not to investigate the case?"
Zhou Ze shook his head.
"The prince has a lot of mountains and valleys in his heart, so he naturally knows the answer. If you continue to investigate, I am afraid that the aspects of the previous doubts will not be related, and it will be detrimental to the morale of the army.
However, if the bad things are handled well, they can also become good things. Just like the prince chooses the 12th lady to enter the palace, and follows the instructions of the grandfather with affection and righteousness. Of course, the death of the 17th lady and the murder of the mission can make the soldiers share the same hatred of the enemy."
Zhou Ze did not look up after saying this, just click on this thing. If you say too much, you will be able to overcome it and control the degree.
King Ning kept nodding, and the smile on his face became even more intense.
"It makes sense. I should also make a good announcement. The emperor and the emperors in the capital think war is a good job, so I might as well let them take a look.
By the way, the reward given to you by your father has been sent to Jingzhou. After all, there was an imperial edict before, so I will put it in the royal palace together and send someone to Hejiang tomorrow. Of course, I will also buy you a copy."
Zhou Ze looked panicked, but his heart was filled with joy.
"Thank you, Your Highness Ning, I feel ashamed of you, but this reward..."
"The reward is because of Princess Anle. If you hadn't saved Princess Anle before and had made a very appropriate arrangement with the Wang Duwei, I'm afraid that the one who sent it to my palace would be an accountability edict.
Therefore, you are a blessing for me. You don’t need to thank me. If you do, I will take the lead. The White Sand Castle Fortifications are also the top priority in maintaining the Hejiang River.
If the Western Zhou Dynasty attacked from Baisha Castle, Huangjing Mountain would be considered a natural barrier. I will also send a team of Zhennan troops to garrison near Huangjing Mountain in case of emergency."
Zhou Ze quickly bowed and bowed.
"I respectfully send you to Your Highness Ning!"
King Ning left quickly.
Soon, another carriage had already parked in front of the inn. The carriage was quite luxurious, with copper bells on it, and when walking, there was a huge letter of Ning hanging on the outside of the carriage. It seemed that this was the car that picked Yingrui.
Sure enough, as the carriage stopped, a few maids and women trotted from behind, carrying bags of all sizes and small, and entered one after another.
Zhou Ze waved his hand to Xiaobai.
"You go and arrange it. If Yingrui wakes up, I will not go to see her. As for Yingshi's handling, you don't need to hide it, just say it!"
Xiaobai knew the importance of it, so he turned around and went to the next door.
When the servants saw Xiaobai, they bowed and bowed.
"See a girl!"
Xiaobai glanced at the person who was dressed like Liu Cheng and raised his chin at the servants.
"Let them later, I will tell Miss Yingrui, after all, people are not awake yet."
"The prince told me to obey the arrangements of the chief minister."
Xiaobai entered the next door, and Yingrui leaned against the bed. Xiaobai walked to the past year, hugged his arm and waved his palm, and the rope on Yingrui's body fell to the ground.
As soon as the void was grabbed, Yingrui was picked up and poked to the edge of the bed. As Xiaobai's palm waved, a shiny ball of light appeared on Yingrui's abdomen.
Ying Rui looked flustered and wanted to hold her abdomen, but as soon as she moved, she knelt directly on the ground.
Xiaobai stared at Yingrui coldly, his eyes not for a moment.
"I think you heard everything next door just now, so I don't need to retell it anymore. If you want to speak up for Ying, you can go to the next door now. After all, we found out everything.
Of course, if you still show yourself as a weak woman as before, I will not expose it, after all, you are also a descendant of the demon clan.
But if you want to spread rumors in front of King Ning, especially if it is not conducive to Zhou Ze, I don’t have to appear in Jingzhou, and you will take your life. Do you understand?”
Yingrui crawled on the ground, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.
"I will pray for my benefactor every day. I only have hatred for Ying and no blood and kinship. Please ask my sister to tell my benefactor on his behalf."
Xiaobai snorted.
"Don't call me sister. You won't be worthy of calling me aunt. Remember what you said and be a concubine of the Ning Prince's Mansion."
Xiaobai turned around and waved his hands to the servants, then returned to Zhou Ze's room.
Old Xu looked at Zhou Ze, then Xiaobai, with a hint of confusion on his face.
"I didn't understand very well. I didn't catch the murderer in this case at all. I just didn't investigate it like this? Why?"
