The emperor was so angry simply because his plan had been ruined. Such rumors seemed to slander the reputations of the regent and Ning Wan, but in fact they ended up tying them together.
On the other hand, Helian Mochuan felt much better after he finally succeeded.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor announced that you have entered the palace to discuss important matters!" Leng Li came over to report.
Helian Mochuan waved his hand and said: "I am not feeling well. I have been taking leave for the past few days. I went to tell my father-in-law in the palace and asked for your sympathy!"
At this time, he was announced to be entering the palace. He knew why. But how could Helian Mochuan follow his wish?
"Where is Miss Ning?" The prince would ask several times a day, and Leng Li was already used to it.
"Your Majesty, Miss Ning went to the Ministry of Punishment and was personally invited by Mr. Su, the Minister of Punishment."
Ning Wan promised to resolve the affairs of the Ministry of Justice, and naturally he kept his word. Helian Mochuan thought for a while and directly ordered Leng Li: "Prepare the carriages and horses and go to the Ministry of Justice!"
He didn't even go when the emperor summoned him, but he insisted on following Ning Wan. Leng Li felt that if the prince got married in the future, he would definitely be a maniac about doting on his wife.
Su Cheng now admires Ning Wan so much that he doesn't dare to neglect what Ning Wan tells him to do.
"Miss Ning, my subordinates have moved everyone to Xikuoyuan according to Miss Ning's instructions. This place has also been emptied. What should we do next?" Su Cheng asked respectfully.
Ning Wan looked around, walked to the middle of the lobby, pointed to the ground and said: "Master Su, please find a few reliable people to dig up this place and dig a pit six or seven feet square. The deeper the better!
"
Su Cheng called a few government officials to come over. These people were all his confidants who had been with him for more than ten years, and they were all trustworthy. When he heard that a hole was going to be dug, he didn't hesitate, so he picked up the tools and started digging.
It was six to seven feet square, and they dug four feet deep but found nothing. However, these people were all panting from exhaustion.
"Miss Ning, according to your instructions, we have dug so deep, isn't it enough?"
Ning Wan looked at the excavated soil and said decisively: "Keep digging, this is new soil, what we are looking for is down here!"
Several government officials took turns digging, and dug down another two feet. They actually dug out something, but what they found shocked them all.
"Oh my God, these are all dead people's bones!" a government official shouted loudly.
When Ning Wan heard this, he quickly brought an oil lamp from the side to illuminate it. Looking at the vague human bones below, he shouted: "Brothers, come up first. There are bugs on these bones. Wait for the bugs to be eliminated before touching them!"
As soon as they heard that there were bugs, the government officials quickly crawled out. Ning Wan asked Zi Su to take away the people who came up for disinfection, while Banxia came in with a large bucket of concoction.
"Miss, do you want to sprinkle these medicines in?"
Ning Wan shook his head and ordered: "Bring in a pile of straw, pour these medicines on it, then light the straw and throw it into the pit!"
The straw that had been sprinkled with potion was in a semi-wet state. After it was lit, smoke rose up. He threw it into the pit and fumigated it with smoke for half an hour before Ning Wan let anyone get close to it.
"Those who go down must be wrapped tightly, and all of them must have touched the potion. All the bones inside must be taken out one by one. All the bones taken out must be soaked in a large basin, disinfected with potion, and then taken out!" This is a
Ning Wan was exhausted and sweating profusely after working on a big project all morning.
When Helian Mochuan came over, he saw Ning Wan wrapped up tightly and instructing people to move things. He was about to approach, but was stopped by the government officials.
"Prince Regent, Miss Ning has ordered that no one else can come near. There are poisonous insects on these things and they are very dangerous!"
Helian Mochuan's face darkened as soon as he heard that there were poisonous insects. This woman really didn't want her life. She knew it was poisonous but she still wanted to get rid of it.
"Go and call Miss Ning. I want to ask questions!" Helian Mochuan still wanted to maintain the dignity of the regent in front of others.
When Ning Wan learned that he was coming, her face darkened. She looked directly at Leng Li and said, "Leng Li, why are you following the prince and causing such nonsense? Send the prince back to the house immediately. This is not the place he should be!"
After saying this, Ning Wan turned back and walked inside. Helian Mochuan also became angry.
"Is there any place in this world that I can't go to? Miss Ning, the Emperor has indeed given you the qualification to assist the Criminal Department in handling cases, but the Criminal Department is already under my jurisdiction. Why did you enter here, but I can't?"
Coming?" The more Ning Wan refused to let him participate, the more he insisted on participating.
Ning Wan paused, turned around and looked at Helian Mochuan seriously, and asked: "Does the prince really want to personally intervene?"
Helian Mochuan nodded: "Of course!"
A gentleman's words are hard to catch, not to mention that he is the regent. The Ministry of Punishment is already under his jurisdiction, so he is also responsible for anything that happens here.
"Since the prince cares so much, please come in!" As he said that, Ning Wan had already covered his face with a sweat towel.
Helian Mochuan also followed Ning Wan's example, wrapped himself tightly and entered the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. The place was almost empty, and what was placed in front of Helian Mochuan was a mountain of white bones.
