Chapter 141: Rolling Meat

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled, looking at the graceful singing girls on the stage, secretly sighing that these bastards really know how to play.

No wonder everyone wants to be an official.

Having money does not mean power, but power definitely means money.

Soon, the waiters filed in and the delicious dishes were placed on the table.

"Sir Ning, the simple food is not as good as the delicacies of the capital. I am sorry for the poor hospitality, General Ning!"

Zhang Yuancang said, holding up the wine glass, "Come, let's toast General Ning!"

Ning Chen held up the wine glass and began to toast with the Lingzhou officials.

Soon, the singing girls on the stage also began to come down to toast, and the atmosphere became warm.

"I have heard of Lord Ning's reputation in Lingzhou. I am lucky to meet him today... I offer a toast to General Ning."

"General Ning is talented, both civil and military, and so handsome. My heart is about to melt. If you don't believe me, touch him."

Three coquettish bitches surrounded Ning Chen. One of them sat on Ning Chen's lap, hugged his neck, and rubbed her breasts against Ning Chen's chest.

Ning Chen was aroused and couldn't control himself.

He really reached out and touched him, with a wicked smile on his face, "Well, this heart is very soft and big."

The singing girl laughed and said, "General Ning is so annoying. You made me wet after touching me. You have to take responsibility."

Ning Chen smiled wickedly, "Okay, I will help you stop the water tonight. I'm afraid the more you stop, the more you will cum."

Ning Chen looked back and saw that Feng Qizhen and Chen Chong had been aroused and confused.

Only Pan Yucheng had a stern face, as steady as an old dog, and looked like a stranger who was not allowed to enter.

Ning Chen flirted with the singer in his arms while looking at an official in the distance from time to time.

He was different from other officials. He drank alone and didn't come to toast. He looked depressed.

He had been observing this person for a long time.

His official robe was old, his body was thin, and his face was full of bitterness and hatred.

Ning Chen's mouth curled slightly.

He patted the singer's hips in his arms and motioned her to get up.

Ning Chen stood up, "You continue to drink, I'm going to the toilet."

Zhang Yuancang stood up, "Sir, I'll accompany you?"

Ning Chen pressed his shoulders and pressed him on the chair, "No, no... I can't pee because someone is staring at me. You drink first, I'll be back soon."

When Ning Chen left, he glanced at the official who was drinking alone.

Although the other party was drinking by himself, Ning Chen found that he had been stealing glances at him.

Ning Chen asked the waiter where the toilet was, and then went downstairs to the backyard.

He did not enter the toilet, but hid behind the locust tree in the yard.

After a while, a figure approached the toilet on tiptoe.

He was holding a stick in his hand.

Ning Chen's mouth twitched. Was he trying to hit him with a club?

He pricked up his ears to listen, then suddenly opened the door of the toilet, and poked inside with the stick in his hand.

Ning Chen's face turned black.

If he was in there, he might have been poked into the pit.

The other party poked around for a while, and probably found that he didn't poke anyone, so he stopped and looked inside.

Probably because he found that there was no one inside, he looked around in a panic.

Seeing that there was no one around, he dropped the stick and wanted to slip away.

Ning Chen coughed and walked out from behind the tree.

The other party's body suddenly stiffened, his steps stagnated, and then he turned his head to look.

Immediately, he bowed and saluted: "I am Jiang Zhengyang, the governor of Lingzhou. I greet General Ning."

Ning Chen held the knife with one hand and walked over slowly, "What are you doing, Lord Jiang?"

"I drank a few more cups and came to relieve myself!"

Ning Chen said, "You are bringing a stick to relieve yourself?"

Jiang Zhengyang said calmly: "General Ning, this is a stick to stir up shit... It's freezing cold in Lingzhou, and the filthy things are overflowing from the toilet. People keep coming to relieve themselves, but no one cleans it up, making the whole Lingzhou stink."

Ning Chen's mouth twitched. He heard that this grandson was not talking about the toilet, but scolding them.

"Master Jiang, are you talking about the toilet?"

Jiang Zhengyang said, "Yes!"

"You mean Lingzhou is a big toilet, right?"

"General Ning misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

Ning Chen smiled silently and said, "I have been observing you all the way. As the governor of Lingzhou, you have the same power as the prefect, but your official robe is shabby and you are isolated... I think I know the reason. You are really annoying."

"However, you dare to hold a stick and want to stab me into the toilet. Your courage is commendable... But your action is a serious crime."

Jiang Zhengyang said calmly, "What does General Ning mean? I am stupid and don't understand!"

Ning Chen was amused. This guy is also a tough guy... He looks like you have no evidence, what can you do to me.

"Sir Jiang, you may have forgotten that I am the Silver Guard of the Supervisory Department... I am not afraid that you will not speak up if you enter the prison of the Supervisory Department."

"Also, I have the imperial sword bestowed by His Majesty, and I have the power to execute first and report later... I can kill you with any crime."

Jiang Zhengyang looked angry, "General Ning, are you trying to frame me and abuse your power?"

"Frame me? I just witnessed Sir Jiang's actions... You murdered your superior, and you should be executed according to the law!"

Jiang Zhengyang said: "General Ning insisted on saying that I had the intention to murder with a stick, and I have nothing to say... Although I am just a small governor, I also have the right to see the emperor. When I get to His Majesty, I will defend myself."

"You are really a tough guy?"

Ning Chen's face turned serious, and he said, "Tell me everything you know."

"What does General Ning want to know?"

"How much do you know about the banditry in Lingzhou?"

Jiang Zhengyang said, "General Ning came to suppress the bandits, so he should have known about it... I don't know more than General Ning."

Ning Chen frowned, "I don't have time to joke with you... I did know that there are seven counties in Lingzhou, why is only Yang'an County plagued by bandits?"

Jiang Zhengyang looked at Ning Chen in surprise, and then said, "Yang'an County is surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, which may be more suitable for mountain bandits to hide, and it is more difficult to suppress the bandits."

Ning Chen looked at him, "Master Jiang, you don't need to tell me about the terrain of Anyang County... Because I am from Changshou Village, Anyang County."

Jiang Zhengyang stared at Ning Chen in shock.

"Don't you know who I am?"

Jiang Zhengyang shook his head.

"Do you know the Minister of Rites Ning Ziming?"

Jiang Zhengyang nodded, "Lord Ning is from Anyang County, Lingzhou. This official knows that Lord Ning is the glory of Lingzhou."

Ning Chen snorted. He was a fart of glory, just a scum who abandoned his wife and children.

Jiang Zhengyang seemed to have thought of something? Looking at Ning Chen, he was surprised and said, "Could it be that General Ning is the son of Lord Ning?"

"Don't talk nonsense, let's talk business... I've been out for too long, they should come to find me soon."

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "I was ordered to suppress the bandits this time. If I don't get rid of those bandits, I won't leave Lingzhou."

"You saw me being unrestrained just now, but I was just acting."

Jiang Zhengyang stared at Ning Chen with half-belief and half-doubt. He was drinking and drinking just now, and he was unrestrained. He looked like an old hand at a glance, and he didn't look like he was pretending at all.

Ning Chen said calmly: "Why, don't you believe me? Have you forgotten that I killed the uncle of the emperor with a knife?"

Jiang Zhengyang's face straightened and said: "General Ning killed the uncle of the emperor with a knife for the people of Chongzhou. I admire him...but people can change."

"And what I don't understand is why General Ning is sure that I know something?"
