Thinking of the six thousand gold that was lost in vain, Ning Qingyuan's heart bleeds.
"The people in the dark cabinet dare to take money and do nothing, what a dream!"
At this moment, the secret guard hurriedly came to report: "Sir, there was an assassination in Luliu Lane last night. Today, the woman went to the Fuyin Yamen and asked to arrest the assassin. In order to claim credit, the Fuyin in the capital handed over a sign asking to enter the palace to see the emperor.
I have to personally lead people to catch the thief."
Ning Qingyuan sneered. Even the governor of the capital, who was a loser, could he catch someone?
However, since the case was reported over at Green Willow Lane, he naturally had to ask himself to relieve the emperor's worries.
Half an hour later, Ning Qingyuan, dressed in official uniform, entered the palace and said righteously to the emperor: "Your Majesty, under the emperor's feet, those thieves dare to break into the homes of good people and kill people. In my opinion, this is nothing but
That organization called the Dark Pavilion probably has no one left, so why not let me share your majesty’s worries and lead the troops to destroy this organization?”
The emperor looked at him and said calmly: "Why is Mr. Ning Guo so active today? I usually spend a lot of time asking you to go out to the capital. What happened today? Is it possible that the assassin also went there?
Are you in your house?"
Ning Guogong gritted his teeth and said: "Back to Your Majesty, a few days ago, there were thieves who came to the minister's house to steal things. Now that something like this has happened again, I am bound to do it."
Thinking of losing six thousand gold in vain, his heart bleeds.
The emperor was always suspicious, so how could he easily agree to what Princess Ning Guo wanted to do?
So, he called another general and told him to bring two thousand soldiers and horses to destroy the harmful organization.
The general took the order and went.
The emperor looked at Ning Qingyuan and said: "Ning Guogong, it's not that I don't believe you, but, how can I let you go for such a trivial matter?"
Ning Qingyuan couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, so he didn't dare to say anything immediately. He only stood there silently and was forced to chat with the emperor for a few words before he was let go.
As soon as he returned to the Duke's Mansion, he handed him a letter casually.
"My lord, the one from Green Willow Alley sent someone here."
When Ning Qingyuan heard this, he immediately snatched the letter away, opened it and started reading.
[See you tonight at Haishi in Green Willow Alley. If you don’t come, I will tell the eldest lady everything that happened in the past.]
At the end of the letter, Helian added the word "Ping Niang".
Ning Qingyuan clutched the letter tightly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Since the people in the dark pavilion couldn't help him, he would do it himself!
Thinking of this, he immediately had the letter burned.
East courtyard.
Ning Wan was eating grapes with her legs crossed, which Helian Mochuan had just sent over, and even Ning Qingyuan didn't even get a bite.
"Miss, I heard that General Liao led his troops to destroy the dark pavilion. I don't know if they can do it. You know, the dark pavilion is full of masters."
Ning Wan spat out a grape seed and said, "Even if we can't kill them all, we can still defeat their boss. Don't worry, they won't be wiped out that easily."
She could also guess a little bit about her scumbag father's intention of asking him to go and clean him up, but he was probably going to jump over the wall, right?
That night, when Haishi arrived, Ning Wan originally wanted to follow him to watch the excitement, but something happened at Wangyue Tower.
The new shopkeeper hurriedly knocked on the door of Duke Ning's mansion. The concierge couldn't find Ning Qingyuan, so he had to go to the east courtyard to look for Ning Wan.
"I heard that there was something wrong with the iced drinks that Wangyuelou sold during the day. Now dozens of people are queuing up in major medical centers waiting for treatment. They said that the things we made at Wangyuelou were not clean and they were eating them badly.
We are so sick that we asked Wangyue Tower to compensate us because it was so late at night that Wangyue Tower was almost burned down."
After the concierge repeated the visitor's words in detail, he looked at Ning Wan's face and asked cautiously: "That man is still waiting outside the door, asking us what to do with him?"
Ning Wan simply didn't know what to say. It had been a few hours since she had eaten during the day. At this time, everyone was having a stomachache. How could this still be related to her problem?
"Isn't it that these people have made a deal to blackmail us?" Zisu said angrily, "Bring the shopkeeper in, and I will ask him personally."
The concierge responded and went out to receive the guest.
Not long after, a thin, middle-aged man was led in.
As soon as he came in, he saluted Ning Wan and said, "Miss, those people have all gone to see the doctor. The doctor said they were poisoned by saltpeter, but where did the saltpeter come from in our store?"
In his opinion, saltpeter is used to make gunpowder. Even if ordinary people want to buy it, they can't buy it. How can it be made for guests?
When Ning Wan heard about saltpeter, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
She looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Where do you buy the ice in the store?"
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "It's the Liang Ji Ice Shop in front of me, but Wangyuelou has always bought ice from them in the past years, and there has never been any problem. Logically speaking, it has nothing to do with their ice, right?"
"
Ning Wan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any leftover ice for today? Come over here and let me take a look."
