Today there is a cool breeze on the streets of Yindu, there are dark clouds overhead, and the air is filled with a strong smell of blood.

Watching Wei Yulou get on the sedan and leave, Yang Zhaosi's eyes turned to Ning Xiaochuan again, "I said last time, if you hurt people's lives in Yindu, I, Yang Zhaosi, will be the first to let you go. What happened today?"

, you can explain as much as you like, but you have to go to this government office."

Ning Xiaochuan sneered and looked at Yang Zhaosi with disdain on his face, "Didn't you hear what Mr. Wei said? They wanted to kill me, but I was forced to fight back. What? Isn't this wrong?"

"But what I saw at that time was that they were seriously injured on the ground and no longer had the ability to kill you, but you still killed them. There is a difference between being forced to fight back and intentional killing, Master Ningwu." Yang Zhaosi said seriously.

said.

Ning Xiaochuan nodded, and Nie Hongyi beside him was about to draw his sword immediately, but Ning Xiaochuan stopped Nie Hongyi, winked, and Nie Hongyi slowly retreated.

"Okay, then I'll follow what you said, but you have to think about the consequences of offending Duke Li." After Ning Xiaochuan finished speaking, he calmly stretched out his hands and looked at Yang Zhaosi with a joking look on his face.

Yang Zhaosi glanced at Ning Xiaochuan, "I don't care about Duke Li, I only want the truth. Even if Duke Li comes to find him, I will still say this. Even if he is a wicked person, his life should not be ended by you, it is death."

It is a matter of living and being dealt with according to the law."

Just when Yang Zhaosi was about to take Ning Xiaochuan back to the Yin Duhu Mansion, rows of imperial guards suddenly appeared. The imperial guards in black armor directly surrounded the entire street. Everyone looked at each other, especially Ning Xiaochuan.

Showing a puzzled look.

"Clang."

The imperial guards stopped at the same time, and the uniform sound of metal collision made Yang Zhaosi frown. After a while, two carriages appeared on the street one after another, one carriage with four horses, and one with two horses abreast.

groove.

There are also requirements for the carriages used by Dafeng officials when they go out. Generally speaking, the emperor travels with eight horses, and the emperor's relatives ride with six horses.

Prime Minister Wen and Marshal Wu can ride with four horses; second-rank officials can ride two horses together; third-rank officials can only ride one horse.

Other officials were not allowed to drive carriages in the Yin capital. The Sijun of the imperial army sounded like a very powerful official, but he was only a fourth-grade general, so he could only ride in a sedan chair.

Seeing these two carriages, Ning Xiaochuan understood in his heart that with these four horses traveling, only Prime Minister Zhongxian in the entire Yin capital was treated like this, and the person behind him must be a certain minister.

After a while, Guan Zhongxian's voice came from the carriage, "Who is the murderer in the street?"

Upon hearing Guan Zhongxian's voice, everyone quickly knelt down on one knee. Yang Zhaosi bowed and said, "The last general, Yin Duhufu Yang Zhaosi, pays homage to the Prime Minister."

Ning Xiaochuan also followed suit, "Ning Xiaochuan, a common citizen, paid homage to the Prime Minister."

"Ning Xiaochuan?"

The curtain of Guan Zhongxian's carriage was slowly opened. Guan Zhongxian looked at Ning Xiaochuan and said to the carriage next to him: "Xue Shangshu, does your Ministry of Justice have to take care of this matter?"

It was Xue Xun, the Minister of Punishment, and Ning Xiaochuan was secretly shocked. Xue Xun's reputation was quite famous in the Yin capital, but unlike Wen Zhe, the jade-faced Minister, this Xue Xun really had some abilities.

He has been the Minister of the Ministry of Justice for more than ten years and has solved many major cases, the most famous of which are the Taijia Army filing, the Jiaozhou grain draft eight years ago, and the Shuzhou Yinbing case not long ago.

Xue Xun also poked his head out, his calm and intimidating expression made people shudder, "Prime Minister, don't worry, I am here today and will definitely investigate to the end."

Ning Xiaochuan secretly thought, Oh no, we are in trouble now.

As expected, Xue Xun soon spoke, "Who killed these three people?"

Ning Xiaochuan raised his head helplessly, "Sir, it's me."

"Come here, take him down and put him in jail." Xue Xun made a prompt decision and directly took Ning Xiaochuan into custody. As a result, not to mention Ning Xiaochuan, even Yang Zhaosi did not react.

"Wait, wait, Grandpa Guan, no, Prime Minister Guan, Shangshu Xue, you are putting me in jail now. This is too hasty. They want to kill me, and I am forced to do so."

Ning Xiaochuan frowned and explained, where is the Penal Department Prison? Apart from the warden, the most terrifying place in Yindu is the Penal Department Prison. Once you go to the Penal Department Prison, no one can come out intact. Ning Xiaochuan doesn't want to go in and suffer.

That sin.

"The Ministry of Punishment will find out the whole story. As for you killing someone in the street, the evidence is conclusive. According to the law, anyone who kills someone in the street shall be punished with death. Come on, take it down." Xue Xun frowned and said, not giving Ning Xiaochuan any thought.

When given the opportunity to speak, Guan Zhongxian next to him remained silent.

Immediately, the Imperial Guards wanted to escort Ning Xiaochuan down, but Yang Zhaosi, who was standing next to him, raised his hand and said, "I would like to inform you, Master Shangshu, that these three people were the ones who committed crimes on the banks of the Fuhe River at that time. These three people deserved their death.

Although Ning Xiaochuan said that he killed people in the street, the crime is not serious enough to lead to death. I hope the Lord Shangshu will notice clearly."

"You speak for me?" Ning Xiaochuan looked at Yang Zhaosi in surprise, not expecting that this guy actually spoke for him.

Xue Xun glanced at Yang Zhaosi and said impatiently, "The Ministry of Punishment will investigate the matter and take it down."

"No, Mr. Xue, no, listen to me..."

But these imperial guards did not give Ning Xiaochuan a chance and took him down directly.

"Yang Zhaosi, clean up the scene. The rest of the people should wait and disperse. The Ministry of Punishment will make an announcement when the matter is resolved." Guan Zhongxian said calmly. After speaking, he lowered the car curtain and left the scene.

"Yes, I will obey your order." Yang Zhaosi reluctantly handed over his hand. Originally, he only planned to take Ning Xiaochuan to the government office so that he could carefully investigate the origins of these men in black. He also knew that Ning Xiaochuan was forced to rebel.

Killed, and even if he didn't believe Ning Xiaochuan, he should believe Wei Yulou.

The appearance of Guan Zhongxian and Xue Xun caught him off guard, and he was even thinking, is this dude so influential? Not only did Wei Yulou take action, but even the Prime Minister was alarmed, so these men in black were of extraordinary origin.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhaosi was a little confused. As soon as he turned around, he found that Nie Hongyi and Kong Zhenxuan were missing, "Hey, where are Ning Xiaochuan's two guards?"

In an instant, Yang Zhaosi was the only one left on the battlefield that had been fought vigorously just now. Later, the government officials also rushed over, leaving them only with the dirty work of collecting corpses and cleaning the streets.

…

At this time, Ning Xiaochuan had no idea that today was also a special day for the Ning family. His second brother Ning Feng had returned home.

At the gate of Ning Mansion, Ning Mansion's carriage stopped, and Ning Feng slowly stepped out of the carriage.

Years of traveling have made Ning Feng's skin a little darker. At this moment, Ning Feng is wearing a robe, and her long hair is tied behind her head. Although she is thin, she stands upright, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a graceful demeanor that has been in officialdom for a long time.

Spread out naturally.

Ning Song, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, quickly stepped forward and looked at the second brother who had been away for a long time. He was very happy and said, "Second brother, you have worked hard all the way. My parents have been waiting for you for a long time. Come in quickly."

"Yun'er, the servants will take care of the things inside. Come down quickly." Ning Feng nodded and shouted helplessly towards the carriage.

"I know, you go in first, and I'll come right after." A woman's high-pitched voice came from the carriage.

Ning Song smiled softly after hearing this, "Second sister-in-law bought a lot of good things for Xiaochuan, right?"

Ning Feng shook his head with a wry smile, "I've been thinking about it all the way. Let's go in and see my parents."

The two brothers walked into Ning's Mansion talking and laughing. After a while, a woman with a big bun and a light red dress came down from the carriage holding a large push of things. The servant next to her hurried up.

He took the thing from the woman's hand.

The woman got out of the carriage, wiped the sweat from her forehead, clapped her hands, and lightly opened her red lips, "Bring your things and follow me."

The woman walked into Ning's Mansion with a smile, and shouted as soon as she entered, "Xiaochuanzi, your dear second sister is back..."

The sound was so loud that even the servant at the door was stunned, thinking that a robber was coming.

Some servants who have stayed in the Ning Mansion for a long time are not surprised. The second lady, Guan Yun'er, is known to be a vigorous and resolute master. This vigorous and resolute manner is not only about doing things, her voice is as bright as thunder, and she walks as fast as the wind. Ning Xiaochuan summarized it.

The four-character word is vigorous and vigorous.

Guan Yun'er's father was Guan Zhongxian, the prime minister of the court. No one expected that the old prime minister, who was humble and elegant in court and had extraordinary bearing, would have such a hot-blooded daughter. When she first married into the Ning Mansion, even Mrs. Ning was frightened.

A big jump.

Ning Xiaochuan's courtyard door was kicked open with a bang. Su Min thought something had happened and ran out to take a look. As soon as she came out, she saw a woman with a peach blossom smile on her face and rushed into the courtyard in a hurry.

The woman was holding a large push of boxes and packages in her hand, and shouted as she walked: "Xiao Chuanzi, you are really becoming more and more rude. You don't even know how to pick up your second sister when she comes back. It's a shame I brought it to you."

There are so many delicious food, I have come to the entrance of your courtyard, it would be too much if I don’t come out again.”

Su Min was frightened for a moment. Guan Yun'er took a closer look and found the little girl hiding next to her. She walked up to Su Min with interest, gently pinched Su Min's round face and said, "This little girl is Xiao Chuanzi."

When did a maid like this appear in the yard? She has a round face and is quite cute."

"Hello, Second Madam." Su Su, who heard Guan Yun'er's loud voice, quickly ran out and saluted Guan Yun'er, "I've met the Second Madam."

"Susu, why are you from Xiaochuanzi?" Guan Yun'er said while looking inside.

"Second Madam, the fifth young master went out at noon, it has been an hour." Su Su said awkwardly.

"Ah? He left at noon. Doesn't this guy know that we are going home today? He really knows how to pick the right time."

Guan Yun'er pouted angrily, and then threw the things on her body to Su Min and Su Su, "It's really disappointing. I brought so many things. When he comes back in the evening, I have to take care of him."

After saying that, Guan Yun'er angrily waved her sleeves and walked away. Su Min looked at Su Su in surprise, "Sister Su Su, is this the second lady? Why is she so different from the eldest lady?"

Su Su pursed her lips and smiled, "You, you are not used to it when you meet the Second Madam for the first time. You will get used to it as time goes by. The Second Madam is just such a person, but she is very kind and has a good heart, especially for our young master.

It’s very good. No, every time I come back, I bring a lot of delicious food to the young master.”

"That's it..." Su Min touched her face and said with sudden realization.

This second lady is really unusual...

…

Ning Feng was also a little surprised. Ning Xiaochuan was not here when he returned home this time. If he had known that he was coming back in normal times, Ning Xiaochuan would have been excited and waiting on the street early.

Ning Zhi was also surprised that Ning Xiaochuan was not at home. He looked at Ning Song and said, "Song'er, didn't you tell Chuan'er that his second brother came back today?"

Ning Song rubbed his head in embarrassment, "It was too late that night. I thought Xiaochuan was going to have a rest so I didn't tell him. I wanted to tell him the same day when my second brother came back and give him a surprise.

I wanted to tell him today, but his face didn't look very good. He said it was urgent, so I thought it must be something very important, otherwise his face wouldn't be so ugly, so I didn't bother him."

"What's the matter with this kid? Is it important that his second brother comes back to the important matter?" Ning Zhi frowned and shook his head helplessly.

Ning Feng smiled softly, "It's okay, Xiaochuan is not young anymore. I guess he has indeed encountered something important."

While the family was talking, the housekeeper hurried in and shouted anxiously as soon as he entered the door: "Master, something happened, the fifth young master, the fifth young master was kidnapped by the Prime Minister and Xue Shangshu!"
