Chapter 3038 Calculation

When everyone heard this, they quickly shut up and turned to talk about the Lantern Festival: "This is the first festival since His Majesty ascended the throne, and he said he wants to hold it in a big way."

"It's really going to be a big deal. My brother who is in charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department said that the palace will give a Lantern Festival lantern, and whoever can guess the lantern riddle will get a thousand taels of silver and a house. Your Majesty said I do this to give you a good wish to have a happy home and a safe life... Our Majesty is also quite good, not as vicious as the rumors say."

A safe and happy home is what everyone wants. Therefore, the people in the capital just hope that Ning Ji's matter will end as soon as possible so that nothing more trouble will happen again.

It's really too much trouble... From the beginning of Emperor Jingyuan's attack on Rong, to the collapse of Da Chu, Jiang Shan and the Wei army entering the capital, Wei Qi's ascension and destruction, and Wei Xiao becoming the new emperor, there were too many things going on. Every year, families in Beijing are destroyed. They see it with their own eyes. They are really fed up. If another disaster happens, they will go crazy!

…

"Lao San, Lao San, how are you? Mr. Qi, is there any misunderstanding?!" Mr. Ning ran to the gate of the imperial city alone and asked to see Wei Xiao. After seeing Ning Ji being escorted, he hurried over and stopped him. Qi Kangming and his party.

Qi Kangming said: "Commander Zhao accused Ninghou of collaborating with the guards and pirates to murder your majesty and Qin Guogong. The evidence is conclusive. I can only capture Ninghou first. But whether Ninghou will be convicted will wait until I see your majesty. Only then can we make a decision.”

Then he said: "Your Majesty has no intention of touching the Ning family now. Mr. Ning doesn't need to worry too much... It's freezing out here, so go back home first."

No intention of disturbing the Ning family?

Mr. Ning was secretly happy... But if the third child was convicted, the Ning family's wealth would also be gone. What a pity!

"Third brother, your majesty is a nostalgic person. You have done meritorious service to David. As long as you argue with reason, you will be able to turn danger into safety." Mr. Ning came to Ning Ji again and said.

After hearing this, Ning Ji asked him: "Dad, why are you alone? Where are my brothers and nephews?"

Mr. Ning hesitated and said hurriedly: "Father didn't let them come...you understand."

Ha, Ning Ji smiled. It turns out that he gave the Ning family so much honor, but he was only worth Mr. Ning's life?

Mr. Ning would try his best to avenge him, but he would still try to save him so that he could continue to bring glory and wealth to the Ning family.

"That's all." Ning Ji smiled and said to Mr. Ning, "Dad, you will go back and wait for the news."

"Do you really want dad to go back?" Mr. Ning asked uncertainly.

Ning Ji nodded: "If you don't go back, it's useless to stay here. This matter can only be resolved by Your Majesty and I. It's useless for others to plead for mercy."

After hearing this, Mr. Ning hesitated for a moment. He was hit by the cold wind and shivered. Finally, he said: "Okay, dad will go back first... Dad will send someone to watch at the gate of the imperial city. If anything happens to you, dad will do his best." Even my life will save you."

However, Ning Ji felt that his life was worth more than this.

Ning Ji nodded: "Well, thank you dad... come back."

"Take him away." Qi Kangming ordered, taking the lead in taking Ning Ji into the imperial city.

When Mr. Ning saw that Ning Ji was being taken away, he didn't stay long and left in a carriage.

Ning Ji turned around and glanced at the Ning family's carriage, thinking of the Ning family and the people in the capital talking on the roadside. They all have the fear and fear of Wei Xiao, as well as their avoidance and consideration of him.

Oh, that's fine, then when he takes action, he won't have any burden in his heart.

He is the one who inherits destiny, and he will be the master of the world in this life. If he succeeds, the world will be safe. If he fails, the world will be buried!

…

Ning Ji was not taken to Si'an Palace, but was thrown into a prison.

However, Wei Xiao still gave him preferential treatment. The prison was like a room with all the items in it. He could commit suicide by taking just one item... Did Wei Xiao want him to know better and commit suicide?

Oh, he really knows how to dream!

"Ning Hou, you stay here for now, and His Majesty will summon you." Qi Kangming settled Ning Ji himself, while Wei Changfeng was summoned to the death row and personally led the troops to guard Ning Ji.

Ning Ji only saw Wei Xiao in the middle of the night.

Wei Xiao was sitting in the cell, pointing to Nan Yu behind him and saying: "I heard that Ninghou was injured. Go and show Ninghou the injury."

Nan Yu nodded and stepped forward to check Ning Ji's injuries. Half a quarter of an hour later, he wrote with a pen: The position is impartial, right in the heart. If he hadn't stopped him in time, he would have died.

However, what Nan Yu did not tell Wei Xiao was that General Zhao did not use all his strength. If he had used all his strength, the wound would have been two inches deeper. In that case, even if Wei Changling could stop him in time, Ning Ji would still be injured. , helpless.

As for why Nan Yu didn’t tell the truth?

Ha, he and Wei Xiao were originally a deal.

After Wei Xiao saw Nan Yu's diagnosis, he was finally satisfied.

Ning Ji smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I understand, but I didn't expect that Your Majesty doesn't even believe General Zhao?"

Wei Xiao said: "If I want to use him, I have to check him out. Otherwise, how can I safely leave tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to his command?"

Wei Xiao was not very happy when General Zhao suddenly injured Ning Ji, because his order was to identify Ning Ji, but General Zhao took matters into his own hands... He didn't like subordinates who disobeyed orders.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have gained another good general." After Ning Ji said this, he added: "There are many pirates hiding on the islands of the Fenglu family and some nearby unnamed islands. Map of the islands It has already been given to Your Majesty, Your Majesty only needs to send the Marquis of Lu to recruit them... Some of those pirates were raised by the Crown Prince of Emperor Ai, and they will only meet them if they go to recruit them based on their family bloodline."

Wei Xiao knew about the pirates, and these so-called pirates were actually the army raised by Fake Lu Er. After Fake Lu Er died, Cheng Geer expressed his loyalty to David and donated a lot of the Lu family's property.

After Wei Qi took over these properties, he discovered the pirates' hiding place.

Seeing that Fake Lu Er was dead, the pirates did not resist and quickly turned their allegiance to Wei Qi.

However, what even Wei Qi didn't know was that...these pirates, as well as the real pirates in the farther seas, were Ning Ji's people...When he lived to the end of his previous life, he already had the desire to become emperor, but that It was too late to seize the throne, so after resurrecting his life, he began to cultivate his own power early.

The aristocratic family has been operating in the south of the Yangtze River for many years. It is too easy for him, a son of the aristocratic family, to find an opportunity to go to sea and raise a group of pirates.

After hearing this, Wei Xiao looked a little complicated: "Ning Ji, when death is imminent, you really don't have to pretend anymore."

Sanlang said that Ning Ji was not as sincere as they thought, and he was good at disguising.

Ning Ji smiled: "If your majesty wants to think so, that's fine... However, even when a person is about to die, his words are good, so your majesty must remember that before launching a sea transport, you must first form a strong army." Navy, otherwise in the vast sea area and without force to guard against it, David will become a piece of fat for the pirates, and the harm will be no less than that of the soldiers to the northwest."

Cheng Geer is committed to shipping, but Ning Ji said this.

Wei Xiao sneered and said, "Oh, I'm already going to execute you, and you still give me advice. Do you think David has no one? I need advice from a dying man?"

Ning Ji said: "I know that David has many talents, such as the Marquis of Lu. As long as he is given more than ten years, he can become a tyrant on the sea. With him here, no matter how powerful the pirates are, they cannot threaten David... I I just know that time is running out, and I’m afraid that if I don’t speak out these words, I won’t have a chance in the future.”

He added: "There is also the battle in the Northeast. The Rong bandits will send troops to help Dongqing and surround the Duke of Qin. Your Majesty would be better to reinforce the troops as soon as possible. If it is too late, the Duke of Qin will be disabled even if he does not die."
