Create a home with a system

Ning Chengyun was only afraid at this time, how could he think so much, he immediately put his arms around their mother and son and coaxed: "It's all over, I will take you back to the palace, and the remaining concubines don't need to worry about it."

"Yes" Qiu Changsheng hugged Ning Chengyun and Ning Hehui and his son tightly.

The family of three hugged each other very warmly, but it was a pity that they were soon destroyed by Zeng Pan who came to report, "Reporting to the emperor, I led people to question all the servants in the Dingbeihou's mansion, and found no suspicious person But Dingbei Hou went out with a few guards, saying he was going to arrest someone."

"Who?" Ning Chengyun narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Zeng Pan shook his head, "I don't know."

Ning Chengyun became more and more angry, and said with a frown, "I leave it to you to take care of this. I will take the imperial concubine and the twelve princes back to the palace first."

Because the imperial concubine and the twelve princes were assassinated in the Dingbeihou's mansion, the emperor brought two thousand elite soldiers. On the way back to the palace, there were soldiers on high alert, but there were no more accidents.

Because of this incident, it was too late for the first time, and all the civil and military officials also knew the news of the assassination of the noble concubine and the prince, and they stood in the hall and whispered to each other, looking terrified.

Wu Jiazi glanced at Yuan Cong beside him, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think, Master Yuan?"

In those years, because Yuan Cong was still sensible, he didn't do anything to annoy the emperor. Now he is a third-rank member of the imperial court, so he is more calm and low-key because of this, his mouth is very serious. He said with a blank face: "It's better not to talk about the matter of the harem."

"Master Yuan's words are strange. It is obvious that the imperial concubine and the twelve princes are in danger together, so why is it a matter of the harem?" Zheng Yi said angrily.

All the people around looked at him, Yuan Cong continued to remain silent with an expression of not arguing with idiots.

Wu Jiazi frowned and said, "Master Zheng, be careful with your words!"

I really don’t know what’s happened to Zheng Yi these years. Ever since he was appointed as an official, he has become more and more impetuous. Now he is still talking nonsense. The Twelve Princes are still young. When this kind of thing happens, everyone’s first thought is that the other party is the court. He went with Noble Concubine Xi, but he even brought the topic to the Twelve Princes, did he still think he was not enough to attract people's dislike?unless.
The way Wu Jiazi looked at Zheng Yi suddenly changed.

Zheng Yi wasn't really stupid either, he hurriedly explained: "Master Wu, I just have reasonable doubts, I can't let go of any possibility, can I?"

Only then did Wu Jiazi withdraw his sharp gaze.

The emperor came late, because the matter of the noble concubine Xi had always been cold-faced, and the courtiers were the most sensitive, and did not mention any major matters. Just when the emperor was about to retire, the palace servants came to report, "Dingbeihou and Pingnanhou have been arrested. After arriving at a few key little people, we also found out the whole story of the matter."

Wu Jiazi glanced at Yuan Cong and said in a low voice, "What do you think the emperor will do?"

Yuan Cong looked up at the emperor, "Severe punishment!"

Wu Jiazi's eyes narrowed in an instant. It was Yuan Cong who said it himself. This matter was related to the harem. Assassinating a noble concubine is not a trivial matter. Ordinary concubines don't have the guts to do so. There are only a few possible ones. How could the emperor severely punish them!

Just when Wu Jiazi felt that Yuan Cong's guess was wrong, Ning Chengyun had already ordered loudly: "Bring them all up, no matter who is behind the scenes, I will never tolerate it!"

There was a sound of breathing in the hall. Is this going to change?
As Marquis Dingbei and others stepped into the hall, the courtiers involuntarily backed away to both sides, and everyone was in danger.

After Qiu Jingming and Tang Ning saluted respectfully, they said, "Your Majesty, I have led people to arrest the peddler who has been delivering food to the mansion for a long time. According to his confession, because of his long-term contacts with the back kitchen of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, he has become familiar with it. , I also know a lot about the situation in Dingbeihou's Mansion. Some time ago, someone paid a lot of money to find him and asked him to help find out about the situation of the imperial concubine and the twelve princes in the mansion.

The vegetable vendor couldn't help being tempted to take the money, and sold the information he had found to the other party. According to the vegetable vendor's confession, the person who found him was a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance, and he was wearing the coarse clothes of ordinary people's homes. However, his demeanor looks very similar to the steward of Dingbeihou's Mansion. At first glance, he is a servant from a rich family, and the vegetable vendor's clue is broken here.

However, in order not to startle the snake, the other party did not kill people to silence them, but paid the silver. The minister checked and found that the silver ingots were in good condition. Most people cannot produce such fine silver ingots. "

Zeng Pan then came in and reported: "Your Majesty, I have already tortured those assassins. They are from the dark building and have no direct contact with the client. They can't stop asking questions."

Dark buildings have existed in Daqi for a long time. They were all over the place as early as in Dazhou. They were organized but had no fixed base.

"Okay! Very good. Even the dark building has invited so many people, it seems that the family really has a lot of money!" Ning Chengyun grinned grinningly, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

The dark buildings are all top killers, and it costs at least a thousand taels to hire one. Now, if you hire dozens of them at once, tens of thousands of taels will be gone.

Who can have such a generous amount?The emperor knew the details of officials, large and small, in the court, and he eliminated most of them at once.

Several high-ranking courtiers and lords were trembling, for fear of being contaminated by this matter.

Tangning stepped forward to ask Ying Ying, "Your Majesty, I request you to investigate the matter of the dark building."

"Hiss!" Civil and military officials looked at Tangning in horror. Is this woman crazy?Just said that, aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the dark building?
Tang Ning continued: "The imperial concubine had an accident in the Dingbeihou's mansion. I cannot escape the responsibility. If the murderer behind the scenes is not found out, I will have no face to face the emperor, the imperial concubine, and the twelve princes."

"Does Ai Qing know what I'm talking about?" Ning Chengyun asked solemnly.

Tangning didn't change her mind.

Ning Chengyun looked at her deeply for a long time before sighing helplessly: "Forget it, since Aiqing insists on doing this, I will allow it, but be careful in everything and pass on my instructions. The commander of the Yulin Army Zeng Pan led five thousand elites to assist Pingnan." Waiting to capture the person in the dark building."

"The emperor is too reckless, the dark building has existed for a long time, this move is tantamount to declaring war with the other party! Who knows how powerful the dark building is!" Zheng Yi lowered his eyes and said sarcastic words.

Some ministers nearby frowned upon hearing this.

Yuan Cong's expression was even more gloomy.

Wu Jiazi only felt that Zheng Yi was getting more and more dizzy, so he pulled him aside early and reprimanded him.

But Zheng Yi said: "Master Wu, don't forget that if it wasn't for Dingbeihou and Hepingnanhou, we would have been conferred the title of marquis and worshiped by our ability. It’s just an official position, you can accept it calmly, but I can’t, this time I want to see how this couple fights against the dark building! Anyone who fights against the dark building will not end well!”

"You're really crazy!" Wu Jiazi shook his head in disappointment, feeling that Zheng Yi's demons were too serious and hopeless.
