Chapter 344 I Regret It so Much
The young man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks was so scared when he heard this that his face turned pale, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he ran away.
As soon as one foot stepped out of the door, a teapot flew from behind.
Bang! ! !
The teapot hit him in the back.
The young man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks cried out and fell headfirst.
Several guests near the door dragged him in by his legs.
The guests in the store rushed up, punching and kicking, and the tables and chairs flew everywhere.
"You black-hearted thing, let me slander Lord Ning, I'll beat you to death!"
"This person may be a spy from the enemy country."
"Yes, if he wasn't a spy from the enemy country, he wouldn't be so hard to frame and slander Lord Ning."
The guests in the store cursed and beat him at the same time.
As long as you are accused of being a spy, you don't have to take responsibility even if you are beaten to death.
According to the Daxuan Law, spies, human traffickers, thieves and robbers, etc., are not against the law even if they are beaten to death, and there are rewards.
The young man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks, holding his head, was beaten and screaming!
"Brother, can you let me kick you?"
"Don't push, don't push... my shoes are squeezed off."
"Didn't you eat? Beat me hard... otherwise don't drink with me next time. I don't have a brother like you, and I can't afford to lose this person."
There were too many people.
Some people wanted to go up and kick a few times, but they couldn't squeeze in at all.
Some people squeezed in with great difficulty and kicked out, but there were too many people and their legs were caught. They finally pulled their legs out, but their shoes were gone.
The shopkeeper of Tianfulou was there, standing on the counter, shouting at the top of his voice to beat him to death.
"Stop, stop quickly... I am the red-clothed man of the Supervisory Department."
"The Supervisory Department is handling a case, stop it!"
The two red-clothed men who pretended to be ordinary people secretly investigated, revealed their identities, and their voices were almost hoarse before they controlled the situation.
Everyone stopped.
The two red-clothed men stepped forward and took a look, their faces twitching.
The young man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks was beaten to a pulp, vomiting blood and urinating blood.
"My lords, this man came to Tianfulou yesterday and kept saying bad things about Lord Ning. He must be a spy from the enemy country."
The shopkeeper of Tianfulou said.
The two red-clothed men nodded.
One of them said, "Thank you for your help. We will interrogate this spy and find out his accomplices after we take him back."
"Only spies would slander Lord Ning's reputation. Who in our Great Xuan doesn't know that Lord Ning is a man of high character?"
Who among the red-clothed men in the Supervisory Department has not received favors from Ning Chen?
On weekdays, whenever they met, Ning Chen would give them some silver and let them drink with it.
The two red-clothed men dragged the half-dead young man away.
The shopkeeper of Tianfulou was full of excitement, and shouted: "All your expenses today will be counted as mine... Go get some wine, I haven't drunk for a long time, but I'm happy today, so I have to drink a few glasses no matter what."
This situation is not limited to Tianfulou, the same thing is happening everywhere in the restaurants, inns, roadside stalls, and streets in the capital.
Those who said bad things about Ning Chen and ruined his reputation, none of them escaped.
As long as they were caught, they were beaten to death.
The red-clothed people of the Supervisory Department, the city defense army, and the runners of the Jingji Yamen were busy... Either someone died here, or someone was about to be beaten to death there.
It was not until the evening that the turmoil gradually subsided.
......
In Geng Jing's room in the Supervisory Department, Ning Chen was holding a cup of tea and sipping it leisurely.
Geng Jing shook his head and laughed, "Good guy, if this continues, our Supervisory Department's prison will be overcrowded."
From the afternoon to now, dozens of people have been caught.
Moreover, none of these people were intact, and they were beaten to pieces by the people.
"Ning Chen, your trick is really powerful... Now, no one in the whole capital dares to say bad things about you anymore."
"But next time you have a way to deal with this kind of thing, can you let me know in advance? We are worried for a long time."
Ning Chen smiled apologetically.
Geng Jing asked: "What will happen to those who were caught?"
Ning Chen's eyes sank, "After interrogation, don't keep any of them!"
Geng Jing nodded slightly.
Pan Yucheng praised: "I guess those who wanted to ruin Ning Chen's reputation are regretting it now."
"This incident not only did not damage Ning Chen's reputation, but made him more loved by the people."
Pan Yucheng was right. At this time, in a large mansion, the candlelight in a room was swaying, and two figures were reflected on the window.
"Is this your good idea? Is this to ruin Ning Chen's reputation? This is clearly to make him famous."
The person who spoke was dressed in brocade and was white and fat.
The other man was old, thin, and had a goatee.
He sighed deeply and said, "I underestimated Ning Chen's importance in the hearts of the people... This move was wrong, a big mistake."
"I really didn't expect that His Majesty would help Ning Chen cover up."
The white and fat young man had a gloomy face, "Ning Chen must be dealt with in a way, this man is a monster... In less than a year, he was made a marquis and a prime minister, this speed is too scary!"
"Although he has been made a marquis now, he is a marquis of a different surname after all, and we still have the possibility of overthrowing him... If he marries the Ninth Princess, he will become a royal relative, and it will be difficult to move him again."
The thin-faced old man nodded slightly and said, "Yes, His Majesty is too kind to him... If we want to achieve great things, we must first deal with Ning Chen."
"This son is indeed a monster. The left prime minister, the grand master, the blessed prince, the queen, the deposed prince, the third prince...all fell into his hands, either directly or indirectly."
"If we don't get rid of him, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to accomplish our great cause."
The fair and chubby young man frowned, "Can you try to win him over?"
The thin-faced old man shook his head, "Isn't it...Ning Chen is a smart man. He knows that everything he has was given by His Majesty."
"As long as His Majesty is here, he can be guaranteed to be a high official, rich and wealthy... Therefore, he will definitely protect His Majesty to the death."
The fair and plump young man narrowed his eyes, "Do you think he has any intention of ascending to that position?"
"No, at least he won't now."
"Why?"
The old man with a thin face said: "First, he is still young."
"Secondly, although the deposed prince and the third prince have fallen, His Majesty still has other heirs with unfair names and unjust names. He will not have such thoughts."
"Third, His Majesty has shown him great favor, which is both a great grace and a shackle... If he dares to rebel, the people will not agree, and the civil and military officials of the court will not agree. General Chen will be the first to jump up and chop him down. If you kill him, he will be ruined."
The fat young man nodded slightly, what was he about to say? There was a knock on the door.
The thin-faced old man walked over and opened the door, and soon walked in with a rolled up note.
Opening the note, the thin-faced old man just glanced at it, his eyes contracting violently.
"What's wrong?"
The thin-faced old man had a strange expression, "It says that Ning Chen has an affair with the Empress of Wu Kingdom."
The chubby young man suddenly widened his eyes and said in shock: "This, this...is the news accurate?"
The thin-faced old man shook his head, "The information is accurate, but there is no evidence. The person is investigating."
"He, how could he get together with the Empress of Wu Kingdom?"
"It is said that they met at the border and stayed in the camp for two hours."
The fair and plump young man couldn't hide his shock, "This, this is simply a strange news. He slept with the Empress of Wu Kingdom after just one meeting? What kind of magical power does this boy have?"
"Could he be so cowardly that he drugged the Empress of Wu Kingdom?"
