Chapter 280: Assassination mission?
"Xu Liheng, known as Feitian Diao in the world, he took action on me that day. I saw that there are many people here, and Qiao Yongle might have other ideas, so I took it upon myself to invite him over to be your shopkeeper.
, I didn’t discuss it with you beforehand..." Jiang Ning and Liu Sisi said at the door, pointing to Xu Ning standing far away.
Liu Sisi glanced at Xu Ning and said softly: "He saved you, but you asked him to be a servant. This is the first time you have treated your savior like this."
Jiang Ning chuckled: "Haha, I will give him his money every month, so you don't have to worry about it. Besides, after what happened to Princess Changping, I also feel that Hangzhou is not peaceful. It would be nice to have someone of my own to help look after the store.
It's also good. When you don't come to the store on weekdays, he should be someone you can rely on."
"Since you said it's reliable, you're not wrong. I just don't know how he handles the accounts..." Liu Sisi frowned. Liu Ji's business had just picked up. He was a stranger. Then he thought about it. The guy he hired
, which one is not a stranger?
Jiang Ning smiled and said: "Of course you don't have to worry about this. Food and accommodation are all in the store, and you don't have to look after the store. You kill two birds with one stone, haha..."
"Then ask him to come over. I'll explain things to him. Hey, now that I think about Princess Changping, it feels a bit abrupt..." Liu Sisi still couldn't get over that hurdle.
Jiang Ning smiled and waved to Xu Ning, and Xu Ning walked over. When he saw Liu Sisi, his pupils shrank slightly, but Liu Sisi said: "Xu Liheng?"
Xu Ning cupped her hands: "Exactly..."
"You guys chat, I'm leaving..." Jiang Ning smiled slightly, waved, and left. Liu Sisi took Xu Ning into the store and explained.
"Master Jiang..." Liu San didn't know when he appeared behind Jiang Ning and patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder.
Jiang Ning was going to the laboratory to improve the musket and build two mines for self-defense. When he was thinking about where to buy materials, he saw Liu San.
Since the incident at Donglin Academy two days ago, Jiang Ning has already had a prejudice against the Xia family, especially Xia Qiangjun. After all, he was the one who brought Jiang Ning to Wen Xuehai. Jiang Ning did not believe that Xia Qiangjun knew nothing about this matter.
Xia Qiangjun was nowhere to be seen, and there was no explanation. Naturally, it was somewhat unjustifiable.
"The master didn't know about the previous incident, and the eldest young master was also kept in the dark. Today, the master is the host, and I would like to ask Mr. Jiang to come to the house to express his apology. If the master knew about it, he would definitely not let him go.
Young Master has been reprimanded by the master, and I hope Young Master Jiang can forgive me." Liu San said, getting out of the way of the carriage and signaling Jiang Ning to get in the carriage if possible.
Jiang Ning waved his hand: "I'm really scared. I almost died in Wen Xuehai's hands last time. I'd better stay less involved in the affairs of the palace in the future..."
"Haha..." Liu San chuckled and said hurriedly: "I know that the young master is a free and easy-going person and will not bow down to the powerful. He said it was to express his apology. Regarding the imperial business, you can say hello to the Ministry of Revenue.
After the young master comes to Beijing, he can bring the master's handwritten letter to each other, which can be regarded as compensation for Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Ning's eyes narrowed slightly: "Huangshang? The eldest son is going to Beijing?"
"Young Master doesn't know yet? It's a coincidence that Liu San learned about it accidentally. Young Master Jiang doesn't know, but Madam Ling should know something about it. I heard that she is also actively preparing for this matter." Liu San explained.
"If that's the case, then this meal of wine must be drunk?" Jiang Ning smiled and patted Liu San on the shoulder: "What kind of carriage are you sitting in? It's quite difficult to see outside."
Liu San chuckled: "Young Master is a great talent..."
The two of them walked side by side on the streets of Hangzhou City, heading towards the palace. What Liu San said was 70% true and 30% false. Xia Qiangjun was on duty in Beijing. Although he had a prince as his backer,
After all, being far away in Hangzhou, it would be easy for Wen Xuehai to cause trouble for him, so he couldn't help himself. As for Prince Xia, since he was on Princess Changping's side, he would naturally not cause trouble for him.
When they arrived at the house, Xia Qiangjun was already waiting at the door. He was a fifth-rank official, but he was waiting for Jiang Ning at the door. If this matter spread, I'm afraid not many people would believe it.
But Xia Qiangjun did it. When he saw Jiang Ning and Liu San approaching, he hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, don't blame me. I really couldn't help myself that day. Later I went to find the princess, and I couldn't help it."
Only the princess can save her brother. All the mistakes are my fault. I didn’t withstand the pressure. I just walked around and drank a few more drinks..."
Before Jiang Ning could speak, he was already pulled by Xia Qiangjun and walked towards the house. Unbeknownst to others, he had been in the capital for ten years. Who Princess Changping was? Even if he had never come into contact with her, he had heard about it.
However, Jiang Ning was the first and probably the only person she came forward to protect. In the small courtyard, Jiang Ning burst into laughter and suppressed the princess. This kind of momentum had never been seen before, and Changping
Besides listening to the officials, who else should the princess listen to? The answer is obvious, but she just listened to Jiang Ning. She cooks food every day... runs business... sells restaurants...
It's incredible to think about this kind of thing, but because of Jiang Ning, or some special reasons, the princess did it, and she didn't get tired of it, and she seemed very happy, otherwise Jiang Ning would have been cut into pieces before she left, so
...Jiang Ning cannot be offended, Wen Xuehai may be kicked on the iron plate this time...
When they arrived in the living room, the banquet had already been prepared. Xia Kang and Bi Chengan were sitting in the upper seats. When they saw Jiang Ning arriving, they looked at each other and smiled: "Haha, Zichuan is here, hurry up, come and talk, Wen Xuehai
How did I make things difficult for you?"
"You two, please stop teasing me. My life is almost on the line. From now on, I'd better come to this palace less often. Otherwise, I might lose my life without even knowing it." Jiang Ning laughed.
.
Xia Qiangjun scratched his head in embarrassment: "Brother, please don't go back on old scores. I already told you that it was wrong to be a brother. Didn't you also make up for it? Come on, come on, have a drink first, have a drink first..."
"It's not okay to drink. If I want to forgive you, it's not impossible..." Jiang Ning pushed away the wine glass Xia Qiangjun raised and said seriously.
Bi Chengan chuckled: "Look, he even picked up the airs, hehehe..."
Xia Kang also smiled and said: "This matter is indeed the fault of Qiangjun. After so many years in Kyoto, he is still so reckless. I almost lost a friend... hahaha..."
Hearing this, Xia Qiangjun took the two wine glasses in his hand and said hurriedly: "Whatever it is, as long as I can do it, don't worry, I can agree to it even if it's a hundred, otherwise I'll feel very guilty..."
"
Jiang Ning smiled slightly, and Xia Qiangjun suddenly felt that he had said something wrong. He heard Jiang Ning say a few words in Xia Qiangjun's ear. Xia Qiangjun frowned slightly, but saw his father's expression. That meant
You're saying, you've almost killed someone, but you still can't get one or two things done? Do you want dad to help you do it?
"Don't worry, little brother, I will take care of these two things and I will handle them beautifully for you. Drink the wine first." Xia Qiangjun finally handed over the wine glass in his hand.
Jiang Ning chuckled: "Okay, then I will just wait for the good news..."
The two drank it all in one gulp, then sat down and chatted with them for a while about Go and casual conversation. After drinking for three rounds, Bi Chengan took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Ning.
"Prince-in-law...I really am..."
"If it hadn't been for what happened before, you might not have been able to see this envelope..." Mr. Xia touched his beard.
