Chapter 147 Your Mother Was Murdered.

Ning Chen looked at Li Ji coldly, "Are you sure you have nothing to say to me?"

"You and Jin Wu... will both die miserably!"

"But Jin Wu is smarter and told him everything he knew... in exchange for a life for his wife and children."

"If you don't have anything to say, the female members of your family will be put into the Jiaofangsi, where they will be ridden by thousands of people and slept by ten thousand people...the men will be exiled to a bitter cold place."

Li Ji trembled all over, raised his head, his face full of horror, and asked tremblingly: "Are you...are you Ning Chen?"

Ning Chen was a little surprised, "Do you know me?"

"You just said that you lived in Changshou Village when you were a child. I...I guess it was you!"

Ning Chen's eyes flashed slightly, "You can guess it's me just from one sentence... It seems that you usually pay attention to me, but we don't know each other, why do you pay attention to me?"

Li Ji said in a trembling voice: "I, I know a secret. I told you, can you give my wife and children a chance to live in exchange?"

Ning Chen said indifferently: "Then it depends on whether your secret is valuable?"

Li Ji hesitated for a long time, and then said tremblingly: "Your mother was killed."

Ning Chen's head buzzed, and his mind went blank.

After a long time, his mind finally became clearer.

He stared at Li Ji, "What did you say?"

Li Ji said in a trembling voice: "One time, I was drinking with Mr. Zhang, and they talked about your poems... The villain said that Mr. Ning's poems are unparalleled in the world, and Mr. Zhang has a reputation for talent. It may be out of jealousy and drinking too much. After drinking, what if he said that his poems were unparalleled in the world? He didn’t even know that his mother was killed, so he was just a pathetic person!”

Ning Chen's mind was buzzing.

He grabbed Li Ji's collar and said, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Little, little people don't dare to deceive adults!"

Ning Chen's face was cold, "What else do you know? Tell me."

Li Ji's face was full of horror, "Master Zhang has said so much, and I don't dare to ask more."

Ning Chen pushed Li Ji to the ground, stood up slowly, clenched his fists, and his finger bones turned white.

Chen Chong and Feng Qi were looking at Ning Chen with worried faces, and they also heard what Li Ji said.

"Ning Chen, are you okay?"

Ning Chen exhaled slowly and said expressionlessly: "Burn all the corpses, and then transport all the gold ore back."

"The magistrate of Yang'an County has nothing to do with this matter. You two will be interrogated immediately after you return. I want to know what role he played in this matter?"

"Li Ji, please keep me under strict supervision... I will go to Lingzhou first."

Feng Qizheng said hurriedly: "Ning Chen, would you like to accompany you? Chen Chong is enough here."

Chen Chong nodded.

Ning Chen said calmly: "No, you will wait for me at the Yang'an County Government Office."

After saying that, Ning Chen turned around and left.

Walking out of the mountains, all war horses are guarded by soldiers.

Ning Chen asked people to bring Diao Chan over, got on his horse, and ran away.

They galloped all the way, and it was already dark when they arrived at Lingzhou.

Ning Chen came to Yixiao Tower.

Before they even went upstairs, they heard the noise of Lingzhou officials, who loudly asked Pan Yucheng, how long will they be detained?

"Pan Jinyi, what crime have we committed? Even the Supervision Department has no right to imprison us without evidence."

"I am detaining an official of the imperial court for no reason. I am going to submit a memorial to you, and the emperor will attend to you."

"When we get back, I still have official business to deal with."

Pan Yucheng sweated on his forehead.

He thought that with his status as a golden man, it would not be a problem to suppress these officials.

But he forgot that he had no evidence and detained the court official for no reason, and the Supervision Department did not have the right.

Moreover, these civil servants were very sharp-tongued, and he couldn't speak at all.

Just then, footsteps sounded on the stairs.

Everyone turned their heads subconsciously and saw Ning Chen walking up the stairs.

Zhang Yuancang's eyes flickered, wondering what he was thinking?

Seeing Ning Chen going upstairs, he couldn't help but said: "General Ning, everyone present is an official of the imperial court. What do you mean by detaining us here?"

"If General Ning doesn't give us a satisfactory answer, I will definitely report to His Majesty and ask for an explanation."

Ning Chen strode to Zhang Yuancang with an expressionless face and raised his leg!

boom! ! !

Zhang Yuancang was kicked to the ground directly.

Ning Chen picked up a chair and threw it at Zhang Yuancang like crazy.

This crazy scene made other officials turn pale and the singer screamed.

Even Pan Yucheng looked stunned.

Zhang Yuancang's screams echoed in everyone's ears.

Ning Chen had no expression on his face as he picked up the chair and smashed it into death.

Click!

The chair fell apart.

Only then did Ning Chen stop.

Zhang Yuancang's head was bruised and bleeding, and he had countless broken bones. He lay on the ground wailing in pain.

"Ning, General Ning, why do you beat someone?"

"That is, even if you are a general appointed by His Majesty, you cannot beat a court official for no reason."

Zhang Yuancang stared at Ning Chen with vicious eyes, "I, I must file a complaint... I will not let this matter go."

Ning Chen looked calm and just slowly pulled out the knife and put it on Zhang Yuancang's neck.

The resentment in Zhang Yuancang's eyes immediately turned into fear.

The other officials did not dare to press any further, and remained silent with panic on their faces.

"Ning, General Ning, what do you want to do? Do you want to kill me?"

Zhang Yuancang said with an expression of guilt.

Ning Chen said calmly: "Zhang Yuancang, the prefect of Lingzhou, recruited unemployed vagrants, secretly dug gold mines, and had people pretend to be bandits to harm the people. His crime is unforgivable and he should be executed!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence at the scene.

Some people were shocked and stunned.

Some people were panicked and pale.

"You, you are talking nonsense... I didn't, you are wronging me..."

Zhang Yuancang's face was pale and he shouted in fear.

Ning Chen said coldly: "Jin Wu, Li Ji and others have all been captured by me... The county magistrate of Yang'an County has also been controlled by me."

"Sir Zhang, everything you do is enough to kill all three of your clans."

Zhang Yuancang's face was pale, as if he had lost his parents.

When Ning Chen imprisoned them, he noticed something was wrong.

He wanted to pass on the message, but the entire Yixiao Tower was completely blocked.

He didn't expect that Ning Chen's speed was so fast... He captured all his people overnight, without giving him a chance to resist.

Zhang Yuncang knew he was finished.

Pan Yucheng came over, looking shocked, "You said they were stealing gold mines privately?"

Ning Chen nodded slightly and told the story roughly!

Pan Yucheng was shocked and said in a deep voice: "Although Zhang Yuancang is the governor of a state, he should not be so brave... I think there must be someone behind him."

Ning Chen hummed, "The gold ore will be transported to a certain place, refined and processed... Then the gold will be secretly sent to the capital."

Pan Yucheng said in a deep voice: "Then these people must be brought back to the capital for trial."

Ning Chen waved his hand and said: "Dare to steal gold mines privately, the person behind the scenes must be a high-ranking official with great magical powers... I'm afraid these people will be killed before they reach the capital."

"Ning Chen, what do you think?"

"Trial on the spot, regardless of the means, regardless of life or death."
