Chapter 90 Sentencing

The Wei Emperor's party cheered because compared to the Marquis of Huaiyin, they felt more comfortable and happy when they saw King Ning Nankun fall.

Compared with the Wei Emperor's party, the Huai Palace at this moment is probably the most concerned place in the entire Luoyang City.

Ning Zheng was sitting in front of the hall with a dark face because of the letter of condemnation that spread throughout the streets and alleys. Not long after hearing the news, the King of Ming rushed over from the mansion and sat with him until now.

"Father, this matter is obvious, it was done by the second brother..." Ning Nanqing finally couldn't help but mention it silently, but was slapped by Ning Zheng.

But he did not give up and said indignantly: "Why didn't my father believe it was my second brother's work? Didn't my father have suspected that my second brother had privately captured the power of the capital...?"

Ning Zheng's eyes became deeper and deeper. He raised his eyes and looked at him, "How do you know I doubt him? I have only said this to you tomorrow."

These words made Ning Nanqing stunned, and even blocked his words for a moment.

"Father...is this...is he suspicious of his son?" Ning Nanqing looked disappointed and lowered his head.

Ning Zheng frowned, remained silent for a moment, and said, "This matter cannot be prepared by your second brother."

Ning Nankun turned around and thought, and felt something was right. In recent years, Ning Nanyou was not only suppressed by His Majesty, but also suppressed by his father. Although he served as a general of chariots and cavalry in the court, he had no real power. His elite guards were not in the capital for many years. If he wanted to prepare all this within half a month, he would spread the condemnation letter all over the streets and alleys, causing storms all over the city, it would be impossible for Ning Nanyou to do so.

However, Ning Zheng not only thought of this, but also wondered the memorial letter that Yue Luo had received two days ago. The long book of the memorial was written about Ning Nanyou who arrived in Linhe safely, serving as the commander of the army and leading the quelling of Linhe. How come the chaos became the truth of Quanling in the hands of the emperor?

Did the seal of memorial come from the congratulations? This made Ning Zheng full of doubts. No one knew about Yue Luo's rebellion, let alone Ning Nanyou would notice it in advance, and prepare a fake seal to let himself put down his guard. Chang Yu was not abnormal in this plan, and it seemed that he had nothing to do with Ning Nanyou. Could it be that he was really suspicious? Ning Zheng couldn't help but doubt his judgment, but more than a month ago, he had found that Ning Nanyou privately investigated the case of Chang Mengjun's rebellion. Is this a false report?

Ning Zhengzhi, his second son, has always been resentful of the Chang Mengjun rebellion case in the second year of Yangjia, and wants to find out the truth about that year. After all, the Lu clan, who participated in the rebellion, was his mentor when he was a child. Therefore, over the years, he has not allowed the people in the mansion to touch on the files of the rebellion case that year, because he was afraid that Ning Nanyou would be involved.

A month ago, after he learned that Ning Nanyou had privately investigated the files of the rebellion case that year, he deliberately allowed Ning Nankun to walk on the road to Longzhong to Lingling, and even ordered Yue Luo to dispatch the Imperial Guards to imprison Zhang Shi's family in the villa outside the city so that Ning Nankun could start. Originally, he wanted to give Ning Nanyou a warning not to continue investigating the rebellion case, and to take the opportunity to test how many elite guards there are next to his second son.

But what he didn't expect was that Ning Nankun had no idea of ​​the importance of the attack. Although Shen Youzhi was by his side, he insisted on his own actions and forced the guards to appear to protect the master, which made his plan lose its meaning.

Ning Zheng was a little annoyed. It was because he was too fond of Ning Nankun on weekdays. Because he was the reason why he was the most like him among the three brothers, he let him do whatever he wanted and did not control it properly, so that even if Chen Youzhi was by Ning Nankun, he could not persuade him, which led to the result now.

Just as he was thinking about how to cover up the matter of Longzhong for Ning Nankun, the Fan Master in the mansion hurried to the main hall and hurriedly reported, "King Dai!"

Ning Zheng was having a headache. When he heard this, he raised his face with a cold face and said, "What's wrong?"

"Tao Sun, deputy general under Shi An, committed suicide in Longzhong fearing guilt... He was sent to the Tingwei Mansion."

With a "click...", the pottery bowl suddenly fell to the ground and became in half.

Master Fan immediately thumped and fell to the ground, not daring to breathe.

"Tao Sun committed suicide for fear of crime? When did this happen? When was it transferred to Luoyang? Where was King De? Where is Ning Mingyuan? Is he a dead person?" Ning Zheng finally couldn't suppress his anger and rushed to Master Fan for a few steps and shouted.

"Don't rest as angry as the king of Dai!" The servants and maids who served in the hall knelt on the ground and bowed, and Ning Nanqing couldn't help but feel trembling and knelt down.

"Father, don't be so angry, ask clearly the situation first." Ning Nanqing was the most calm at this time, turned his head and asked Master Fan in detail, "Does anyone say why Tao Sun committed suicide because of fear of guilt?"

"You have reported to Your Highness the King... the news from the Tingwei Office said that General Tao... was because he felt guilty and uneasy, and thought he was ashamed of the people and His Majesty... that's why..." Master Fan stammered.

"Would you not know what kind of virtue Tao Sun is? If he is ashamed of those troublemakers, he will be devilish!" Ning Nanqing knew it was a lie and angrily scolded, "Has Mr. Fan found anything else?"

"It's not that I haven't found it." Mr. Fan whispered on the ground and continued, "I and the doctor Ling went to Qingxiang to meet Ning Jiu in Yegongge. Only then did I learn that Tao Sun's family seemed to be tied up by the people in the Water Pavilion... Only then..."

"Shuige? Jiang Mengluo?" Ning Zheng gritted his teeth.

"Yes." Mr. Fan said tremblingly, "General Tao Sun was transported to the Tingwei Mansion, holding a letter in his hand."

"What is written in the letter?"

"Say it... I am ashamed of the people of Longzhong, and the people who suddenly encountered war in Quanling County, Lingling County... In order to expose the guilt of His Highness Ming, Tao Sun made hundreds of condemnations overnight... and explained everything to the people of Luoyang." Mr. Fan was sweating profusely and trembled all over. After saying the last word, his face was pale, trying to swallow a mouthful of saliva, waiting for Ning Zheng to reply.

"Tao Sun did not serve the people before his lifetime, but was it admirable after his death?" Ning Zheng suddenly laughed, turned around slowly, walked to the side of the desk, gently picked up the teacup placed on it and played with it. The whole hall was extremely quiet.

Master Fan held his anger and was tense. He heard the sound of explosive pottery cracks in his ears. The pieces of porcelain hit him hard, making him subconsciously hide behind and said with a bleak expression, "King Dai..."

"Now, I finally know who is behind the scenes." Ning Zheng gritted his teeth, his eyes gloomy and terrifying.

Ning Nanqing plucked up his courage and replied, "Is it... the master of Si Jiang Chengyi?"

Ning Zheng ignored it, almost equivalent to acquiesce. He clenched his fists, swallowed it with a breath, closed his eyes and tried to calm his anger.

After a while, he left, leaving a cold sentence, "Fan Li, send someone to Youzhou to prepare for the game. I am afraid that I will be there for a while tomorrow."

Ning Nanqing was shocked when he heard his intentions and asked urgently, "Aren't my father going to save his third brother?"

Far away, the man said coldly with his hands in his arms, "Don't save it. Let him clean up the mess he made by himself. No one needs love."

Ning Nanqing's heart was beating and his face was turmeric. He watched his father step by step towards the inner room of the main courtyard without any hesitation. At this moment, he clearly understood that Ning Nankun's sin was a foregone conclusion and could not be saved. A hint of glory arose in his heart and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. As soon as Ning Nankun left, he was the only one by his father, and perhaps his father would pay more attention to him in the future.

Mr. Fan, who was kneeling in front of the hall, was so scared that he was scattered. He raised his sleeves and rubbed his sweat as he was about to drip from his nose, but he still didn't move. There was an ancestor in front of the hall who had not left, saying that his whole body seemed to be nailed and he didn't dare to move for a moment.

Ning Nanqing stood up slowly, with a strange smile on his face, walked slowly towards Fan Li and helped him up with his own hands, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll leave now. I hope Master will take good care of Mr. Gu."

Fan Li was flattered and nodded quickly and responded, "It should be."

Ning Nanqing snorted lightly and stepped towards the outsider of the palace.

As he thought, Ning Nankun's case was a death battle. No matter what, it was fish on the knife board and slaughtered. Not long after, the Emperor of Wei ordered Zongzheng Temple and the head of the Tingwei Mansion to investigate the case of Quanling. Then, two guards who were originally biting Ning Nan's worries and bandits of grain suddenly turned up their confessions in the Tingwei Hall, pointing out that they were tortured and forced to testify that the Huaiyin Marquis robbed money and grain were robbed. He could not bear it and then responded to this false charge.

For a moment, the case of Longzhong's deducting disaster relief food and selling food for private money also fell on Ning Nankun. After careful investigation, I found that a few days ago, the evidence of Ning Nankun's crimes submitted by the Secretary of Shangshu Pushe Duan Xing was all evidence of Ning Nankun's private deducting money and exchanging inferior dam building materials for inferior dam repairs, and purchasing crumbs as disaster relief food and grass to make profits from it.

The Emperor of Wei was furious and ordered people to immediately recall Ning Nankun, who was in Longzhong to manage disasters, and then appointed the grandson of Situ Li Chengyi, who was the new disaster relief envoy to Longzhong, Wei Xing and other places.

Three days later, Zongzheng Temple publicly announced the sentence, confiscated the De Palace's 30,000 stone coins, demoted King De to Changshan Marquis, confiscated his fiefdom, and exiled to Youzhou for three years. Ning Zheng used multiple layers of power, and finally ordered the Emperor of Wei to return the reclaimed fiefdom again, and he was powerless to punish the rest.

When Ning Nankun first heard this bad news, he was taken back to the capital for trial. He could not believe his ears at one time. He always thought that the Yusi, who came to pass the order, had made a mistake. In anger, he waved his knife to kill the Yusi, and was stopped by Chang Yu, who accompanied Li Xian to Longzhong.

But the facts have been decided, no matter how hard he struggles, it is useless.

Along the way, Ning Nankun sat in a prison car and kept roaring and insulting, "Gou has never done these things! This is the conspiracy of the Marquis of Huaiyin! It is Ning Nanyou's conspiracy! Gou wants to meet the King of Huai! He wants to meet His Majesty!"

But along the way, they were only cursed by the people of Luoyang. People stood on the streets and alleys of the capital. Seeing Ning Nankun standing proudly in the prison car, they picked up the things they could reach and smashed them at him.
