Chapter 179: Killing and Destroying the Heart

An hour later, Geng Jing came back.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Pan Yucheng with a dark face.

The room was in a mess, with broken vases, teapots and teacups turned into pieces.

Only Ning Chen happily played with a few stones.

"Is this...encountering bandits?"

Pan Yucheng glared at Ning Chen angrily. He seriously suspected that Ning Chen was here to cause sabotage?

Ning Chen chuckled and said, "Master Geng, be careful!"

After finishing his words, he raised his hand and waved it.

A ray of cold light shot towards Geng Jing with strong wind.

Geng Jing remained calm. When the stone was about to hit his chest, he took action like lightning and caught the stone with only two fingers.

Damn it! ! !

Ning Chen was shocked!

"Hua Yu Dao?" Geng Jing threw away the stone in his hand, looked at Pan Yucheng, and said in surprise: "Did you teach Ning Chen the Hua Yu Dao?"

Pan Yucheng nodded and said yes!

Looking at the broken vases, teapots, and teacups... he already regretted it.

Ning Chen asked curiously: "Huayu knife? What does this throwing of stones have to do with the knife?"

Geng Jing said: "The stones you are talking about are actually flying knives, called Flower Rain Knife. It is the famous stunt of Lao Pan's mother... She can hit dozens of flying knives in an instant, like a rain of flowers all over the sky, so Got the name.”

Ning Chen's face was full of surprise, "Lao Pan's mother is also a master?"

Geng Jing smiled and said, "She used to be a famous chivalrous woman in the world."

Ning Chen looked at Pan Yucheng and said, "Old Pan, why don't you use a flying knife? Isn't that right?"

Pan Yucheng said calmly: "The flying knife is too lethal and can easily hurt people's lives."

Ning Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, saying in his heart that you are just pretending.

Geng Jing said with a smile: "He's not lying about this. The Huayu knife penetrates the bones and hits acupuncture points, which can easily kill people."

"But you can use a throwing knife. With your strength, you may not be able to hurt someone with a throwing knife."

Ning Chen rolled his eyes, "I've just started learning, okay? I haven't mastered the skills yet... I'll let you know what it means to put your hands in your pockets after a while. Don't you know what an opponent is?"

Geng Jing shouted!

Oh, your sister, Ning Chen complained in his heart.

He changed the topic and said: "Looking at you, you must have failed to catch up with the left prime minister, right?"

Geng Jing's face sank slightly and nodded.

Ning Chen was not disappointed, this was all what he expected.

"It doesn't matter! He's just a lost dog... The left prime minister is just a toothless tiger now. The people behind him saved him, maybe because he still has some use value."

"When all the uses are finished, he will be useless... By then, the people behind the scenes will kill him and silence him without us taking action."

Geng Jing nodded slightly.

Pan Yucheng said: "Chen Lezhang was also involved in this matter."

Geng Jing's face changed slightly, "Have you been interrogated?"

"Chen Lezhang had a guilty conscience and was deceived by Ning Chen... and committed suicide directly."

Geng Jing stiffened slightly.

Pan Yucheng told the story in detail, but concealed the matter about the prince.

Geng Jing remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he sighed deeply, turned around and walked outside.

"You continue the investigation, I will go to the palace to plead guilty... It is such a troubled time. The left prime minister is missing, and Chen Lezhang, the golden man, is involved. I wonder if I, the inspector general, Ziyi, can still be saved?"

Ning Chen comforted him: "Don't worry, His Majesty still trusts you."

"Trust is trust. Something happened to my subordinate Jinyi. I'm afraid your Majesty will doubt my ability."

Geng Jing shook his head, smiled bitterly and left.

Ning Chen sighed with emotion: "It's so pitiful...it's like being with a king like a tiger."

Pan Yucheng glared at him, "Be careful what you say!"

Ning Chen shrugged, turned around and walked outside.

"What are you going to do?"

Ning Chen said: "Go to the dungeon... Chang's mother and son are going to have tea with the King of Hell soon. I have to give them a ride."

Ning Chen came to the cell where Chang Ruyue was imprisoned in the dungeon.

Chang Ruyue's hair was disheveled and she was huddled in the corner in embarrassment.

Hearing the footsteps, she looked up and saw that it was Ning Chen, her eyes gradually turned malicious.

"Are you here to see my joke?"

Ning Chen nodded, "Yes!"

Chang Ruyue stood up, staggered to the cell door, stared at Ning Chen, and said through gritted teeth:

"If that beast Ning Ziming hadn't said that killing you would affect his career, I would have gotten rid of you, a scoundrel like you."

Ning Chen looked at him expressionlessly, "Chang Ruyue, you are here today because of your own fault... Those who do unjust things will be punished by themselves."

"We orphans and widowed mothers pose no threat to you...Why do you insist on putting us to death?"

Chang Ruyue's face was full of ferociousness, "I am the daughter of the left prime minister, how can I tolerate my husband harboring other women in his heart? How can I let a bastard come to divide the Ning family's property?"

Ning Chen sneered and said: "Chang Ruyue, stop making excuses for yourself... You are just afraid."

"What am I afraid of? Will the daughter of my noble Prime Minister be afraid of rural folk like you?"

Ning Chen said calmly: "You are afraid that Ning Ziming knows that Ning Gan is not his son."

"You know very well that once he knows about this, it would be better if Zuo Xiang is alive, but Zuo Xiang is so old. Once he dies, no one can suppress Ning Ziming."

"By that time, you can imagine what will happen to you mother and son... It could be as simple as getting a divorce letter and being kicked out of the Ning Mansion. At worst, it could be that you die inexplicably."

"That's why you have to go to great lengths to get rid of us, mother and son, and cut off Ning Ziming's thoughts."

The vicious look on Chang Ruyue's face disappeared, and in an instant, her face turned pale and bloodless.

She pointed at Ning Chen, her fingers trembling, and said in panic: "You, you...how did you know?"

Ning Chen sneered and said sarcastically: "Ning Ziming told me... You think you hid it well, but in fact Ning Ziming knew it a long time ago!"

"He is just afraid of the left prime minister and has been holding back."

Chang Ruyue swayed and collapsed on the ground, his eyes dull.

"It turns out he knew it a long time ago. No wonder he wanted to testify against my father...It turns out he knew it a long time ago..."

Ning Chen sneered: "Ning Ziming is greedy for power and vanity. He is a selfish person... and often the more selfish a person is, the less he can tolerate the betrayal of others."

"Chang Ruyue, from the moment you thought of Ning Ziming as your successor and forced him to marry you... you laid the foundation for your father's downfall."

"Not only are you jealous, but you also don't follow the rules of women. You have a secret relationship with a servant of the prime minister's house. You are not even as good as a brothel girl. You are really dirty... What you have today is completely retribution."

"In the whole incident, my mother is the most innocent. She knew nothing, but she died in an unknown manner... Therefore, I will ask your majesty to cut your mother and son into pieces with a thousand swords and execute them in Lingchi."

It's like the moon's surface is like death's ashes, like mourning a heir.

She quickly got up, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Ning Chen, and begged:

"Ning Chen, it's all my fault. If you want to blame, blame me. If you have any grievances against me... please let Gan'er go, please let them go... They are all your brothers! "

Ning Chen said calmly: "If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?"

"Chang Ruyue, you mother and son, please go down and make amends with my mother."

After Ning Chen finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but found Ning Gan standing in the cell opposite, looking at this side with dull eyes.

Ning Chen glanced at him and said calmly: "You must have heard it, right? You often call me a bastard... In fact, you are the real bastard."

Ning Gan's dull eyes fell on Ning Chen, and he suddenly rushed over with a roar, grabbed the cell door and shook it wildly, shouting:

"I'm not, you're talking nonsense... I'm my father's son, I'm not a bastard, I'm not..."

Ning Chen sneered and said, "You are a bastard born from an affair between your mother and a servant of the prime minister's house. You don't deserve the surname Ning at all."

Ning Gan looked at Chang Ruyue in the cell opposite and shouted: "Mother, tell me, this is not true, this is not true..."

"I am my father's child. I am not a bastard. You tell me, I am not a bastard."

Chang Ruyue sat paralyzed on the ground, unable to say a word.

Ning Chen sneered, turned around and left... His goal had been achieved, he came here just to kill people and kill people.

As soon as Ning Chen walked out of the prison, a man in red came hurriedly.

"Ning Yinyi, someone is coming from the palace. They are waiting for you at Pan Jinyi's place."

Ning Chen hummed and came to Pan Yucheng's room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a white-faced and beardless eunuch.

"I've met my father-in-law!"

Ning Chen leaned over and saluted.

The little eunuch said in a soft voice: "Ning Yinyi has broken my servant... Ning Yinyi, the Ninth Princess's password is to ask you to come into the palace."

Ning Chen's eyes lit up. Did the Ninth Princess find the eunuch with a mole under his earlobe?

He said hello to Pan Yucheng and went into the palace.

Arrive at Luohuang Palace.

The Ninth Princess is still wearing a red dress, but the style is different from before. She is bright and charming.

"See the Ninth Princess!"

"No need to be polite." Ninth Princess raised her hand, then hesitated and said, "Ning Chen, the person you asked me to find for you has been found."

Ning Chen looked happy, "Where is he?"

The Ninth Princess was silent for a moment, and then said: "He is dead!"

Ning Chen's heart suddenly trembled.

Princess Ninth continued: "When he was fetching water, he accidentally fell into the well. By the time he found out, it was already too late!"

Ning Chen sneered in his heart, why are you so careless? He was obviously silenced.

"Ninth Princess, in whose palace does this father-in-law work?"

The Ninth Princess shook her head, "It seems to be the handyman in the bathing house."

The washing courtyard is the place in the palace responsible for washing and washing, and the handyman does some chores.

Ning Chen felt a little disappointed. Since this person had been silenced, the clues behind him must have been wiped clean.

It seems that this thread has been broken again.

"Thank you very much, Ninth Princess, I have resigned!"

Princess Ninth hesitated for a moment, bit her red lips, "Um...are you leaving now?"

Ning Chen was slightly startled and asked, "Is there anything else wrong with the Ninth Princess?"

Princess Ninth's face turned red and she whispered, "I want to hear you tell a story."

Ning Chen gave a bitter smile and said: "Ninth Princess, please forgive me, my family is almost dead and I really am not in the mood to tell stories."

The Ninth Princess was startled. She heard that Ning Mansion was raided!

"Well...is there anything I can do to help?"

Ning Chen's eyes flickered, maybe the Ninth Princess really did him a favor...but there were some things that couldn't be said clearly.

Ning Chen sighed: "Ninth Princess, Ning Ziming committed the serious crime of having his entire family executed. They deserve it... It's just a pity that the servants in the mansion are implicated. They are innocent."

"And my second brother and third brother. They have some brain problems. They are as stupid as pigs and don't know anything... They are going to be beheaded for no reason. I feel really bad about this."

"Ah...I shouldn't have said these things to the princess that would affect her mood. I'll tell her stories again when I have the chance. I'm leaving now!"

Ning Chen turned and left.

Ning Ziming, I tried my best. Can Ning Xing and Ning Mao survive? It depends on their fate... Ning Chen thought to himself.

Ning Ziming helped him overthrow the left prime minister, and he also promised to save Ning Xing and Ning Mao as much as possible. He did what he should do...As for the result, it's not his concern!

The ninth princess looked at Ning Chen's lonely back and couldn't help but feel distressed...Ning Chen will be the only one left in the Ning family in the future, so pitiful!

"He Ye, prepare a bowl of lotus seed soup, I'm going to visit my father."
