Chapter 174: Overthrowing the Left Prime Minister
Everyone was stunned!
Chopping the imperial edict with a knife is a capital crime.
No, Ning Ziming was sentenced to death.
Zuo Xiang looked at the two halves of the edict in his hand and was completely dumbfounded.
He stared at Ning Ziming with bloodshot eyes and said hysterically: "You, you... you beast, you ungrateful wolf, have you forgotten who gave you everything you have now?"
"You beast, you secretly searched for evidence of my crime, and now you cut off my last chance of survival... You are worse than pigs and dogs!"
The edict was destroyed, so it was useless!
Ning Ziming stared at him, "You killed the woman I love most in my life. If I don't watch you die, how can I face her in the underworld?"
Geng Jing stepped forward and kicked Zuo Xiang over.
"Come on, take him down, and put him in death row!"
Zuo Xiang struggled desperately, but was still handcuffed and shackled and dragged away.
Geng Jing looked at Ning Ziming.
Ning Ziming returned the knife to Ning Chen, and looked at him with a look of relief.
Then, he turned around and stretched out his hand.
He was handcuffed and shackled and taken away.
The ministers were silent.
The snow was getting heavier!
Emperor Xuan said in a low voice, "I am tired. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
The second prince died suddenly, and he was heartbroken. He finally came out... Today, his wounds were torn open.
Emperor Xuan went back to the palace with a tired look.
The civil and military officials also dispersed.
Geng Jing looked at Ning Chen, "Well... I have to go to Ning Mansion."
Ning Chen nodded silently.
"Sir Geng, can I go to the dungeon to see Ning Ziming?"
Geng Jing nodded.
Soon, Geng Jing took people to search Ning Mansion.
Ning Chen came to the dungeon and saw Ning Ziming.
The two looked at each other through the prison door.
Ning Ziming stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry to your mother and to you!"
Ning Chen said nothing.
Ning Ziming said slowly: "Back then, your mother and I secretly agreed to spend our lives together. I promised to go home and marry her after I passed the imperial examination."
"Do you know? The money I spent on my trip to Beijing to take the imperial examination was saved up bit by bit by your mother who washed clothes for other families."
"I didn't expect that I really passed the imperial examination. I'm very happy... Do you know that when the results were announced, the daughters of the rich and powerful would go to join in the fun and choose their husbands. That's when Chang Ruyue took a fancy to me."
"They quickly found out my situation... They threatened me with your mother. I was just a nerd at the time. I was very scared and didn't dare to resist, because that person was the left prime minister. It would be easier for him to kill someone than to kill an ant."
"Later, I couldn't hold back my longing, so I went back in the name of ancestor worship!"
"I shouldn't have gone back. If I hadn't gone back, there would be no you, and you and your son wouldn't have been killed."
Ning Chen said coldly: "It's not that you shouldn't go back, you should control your lower body."
Ning Ziming smiled bitterly.
"Later, you were born... I was even more scared. Chang Ruyue is jealous, and I was afraid they would do something to you."
"I thought I had kept it a secret, but they still found out... When I received the news, your mother had already been in trouble."
"It was from that time that I vowed to overthrow the left prime minister... Because if he didn't fall, you would be in danger at any time."
Ning Chen said lightly: "Ma Kaicheng said that when I was young, there were masters protecting me in secret. You sent them, right?"
Ning Ziming nodded.
"In fact, if they hadn't done it again and again, I wouldn't have brought you to the capital... I would have let you live in that village without worries, and watched you get married and have children."
"But they didn't want to let you go... I could only spread the news that I had abandoned my wife and children, and then told Chang Ruyue that I was afraid of being impeached, so I had no choice but to bring you to the capital."
"Only by keeping you by my side can I protect you."
"Protect me?" Ning Chen sneered again and again, "Do you know how they treat me?"
Ning Ziming nodded, "I know, I always knew ...But I dare not get too close to you. Only by ignoring you and neglecting you, they will feel relieved and will not harm you. "
"In fact, I have been waiting for you to come of age. I plan to send you to a place where no one will disturb you."
"But I didn't expect that you suddenly became a different person, becoming talented, brave and resourceful, and even gaining the favor of His Majesty."
Ning Ziming stared at Ning Chen closely, "I often wonder, are you Ning Chen? How can a person change so much? You are two different people before and after."
Ning Chen looked at him and said nothing.
Ning Ziming's eyes gradually softened, and he continued, "If you do nothing, I will send you to a place where no one knows you, and you can live your life without worries."
"But your performance shocked me... When I learned that you captured King Zuo Ting alive, I knew the opportunity had come."
"You have been favored by His Majesty and have military merits. Even if the crime committed by me will result in the death of the entire clan, you will be safe and sound... Otherwise, I will never bring out the evidence in my life."
Ning Chen looked at him expressionlessly, "Are you saying this to make me forgive you?"
"Do you dare to say that you are not greedy for vanity and power?"
"You keep saying that you love my mother. If you really love her, you will not return to the village, let alone occupy her body... You know that doing so will bring her a fatal disaster, but you still did it."
"As a son of a man, I have no right to accuse you of what you did, and I will never hold a grudge against you again...but I am not qualified to forgive you for my mother!"
Ning Ziming's eyes were complicated.
"When I get under Jiuquan, I will personally apologize to your mother!"
"Ning Chen, as a father, can I ask you something?"
Ning Chen said indifferently: "You want me to save Ning Gan and the others?"
Ning Ziming shook his head, "I want you to save Ning Xing and Ning Mao. They are stupid and don't know anything?"
"Although they are not the same as you, you are all my children after all... If you can, please save them."
"Without Chang Ruyue's instructions, they will not pose any threat to you... I just ask you to save them, and then drive them out of the capital. I just want to save their lives."
Ning Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why don't you let me save Ning Gan? Isn't he your most proud son?"
Ning Ziming's eyes became sharp, his tone full of anger, and he said word by word: "Because Ning Gan is not my kind at all."
Ning Chen's eyes widened suddenly.
"Back then, Chang Ruyue fell in love with me and couldn't wait to marry me... In fact, at that time, she was already having an affair with someone and had a secret knot, so she was so anxious."
Damn it! ! !
Ning Chen was stunned.
Ning Chen asked curiously: "Whose seed is Ning Gan?"
Ning Ziming said: "A servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Fuck... The daughter of the left prime minister had an affair with a servant and got pregnant with a child. Is it so bloody?"
"When did you find out?"
"A few years later."
Ning Chen chuckled and sneered: "You collected the evidence of the Left Prime Minister partly to take revenge on him, right?"
"You also returned to the village five years later. You took my mother's body, and you also wanted to take revenge on Chang Ruyue, right?"
"Ning Ziming, Ning Ziming, you are such a villain. You have failed to be a father and a husband."
Ning Ziming sighed: "Ning Chen, I really love your mother...and I have already paid the price for what I have done."
Ning Chen was silent for a while and said: "On this matter, you acted like a man... No matter what, I want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to bring down the left prime minister."
"So, in return, I will find a way to save Ning Xing and Ning Mao... Of course, I can't guarantee that I can save them."
Ning Ziming nodded, and suddenly his expression became extremely serious, saying: "Chen'er, be careful of the prince!"
Ning Chen raised his eyebrows.
Ning Ziming said: "I'm not sure, but I always feel that there is some kind of connection between the left prime minister and the prince."
Ning Chen said in surprise: "The one supported by the Left Prime Minister should be the third prince, right?"
Ning Ziming said: "Yes, the left prime minister is indeed supporting the third prince on the surface, but I always feel that he is connected with the prince. What they do is very secretive, and I have never been able to find out."
"But one thing is that the person who had the most hope of becoming the crown prince back then was not the current crown prince, but the second prince who died suddenly."
"The second prince died suddenly, and the current prince is the biggest beneficiary."
Ning Chen's pupils shrank slightly, but soon returned to normal.
He shrugged, "What does this have to do with me?"
Ning Ziming said: "If the left prime minister is supporting the prince, and you have brought down the left prime minister now, you'd better be careful of the prince."
Ning Chen nodded slightly.
"Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Ning Ziming said seriously: "Take care of yourself!"
Ning Chen hummed, turned and left.
Too many things happened today, and his mind was a little confused.
Ning Ziming's sudden defection left him a little confused. He didn't know how to face him?
It's a strange feeling to hate someone for so long and suddenly realize that they are a good person.
Ning Ziming is not a good person, but what he did today is that he is a good person and a real man.
Ning Chen came out of the prison.
Pan Yucheng had been waiting outside. When he saw Ning Chen, he walked over quickly.
"Are you OK?"
Ning Chen shook his head slightly.
"If you feel uncomfortable, how many drinks can I have with you?"
Ning Chen shook his head, "Forget it! I'm going to the Jiaofang Department, do you want to come with me?"
Pan Yucheng: "???"
"At this time, do you still have the intention to go to Jiaofangsi?"
Ning Chen looked up at the heavy snow in the sky and said with a wry smile: "Because I am homeless now, where else can I go except the Jiaofang Division?"
Pan Yucheng was silent.
He overthrew the left prime minister and avenged his mother... but Ning's mansion was also raided.
Pan Yucheng said: "Let's go, together!"
The two left the Supervision Department and rode to the Jiaofang Department.
Pan Yucheng went to find Nanzhi.
Ning Chen came to Yudie's room.
"Ning Lang?"
Seeing Ning Chen, Yudie jumped for joy and couldn't hold back the longing in her heart. She threw herself into Ning Chen's arms and hugged his waist tightly.
Ning Chen hugged her soft and delicate body, but there was no evil thought in his heart at this time.
"Ning Lang, what's wrong with you?"
Yudie felt that Ning Chen was not in a high mood.
Ning Chen whispered: "Yudie, I brought down the Prime Minister today and avenged my mother... But Ning's mansion was also raided, and I am homeless."
Overthrown the left prime minister?
If it were in the past, Yu Die would definitely be full of admiration.
But now, she only felt distressed and hugged Ning Chen tightly, "If Ning Lang doesn't dislike him, this is Ning Lang's home."
