Ning Zhiwei's mouth twitched. She was busy from morning till night every day and could not go to bed until late at night. How could she have the time to think about things? She was still lonely.

She waved her hand and said, "Take it away."

Bai Zhanyang wanted to say something, but the guard stepped forward, covered his mouth and dragged him away.

Oh my goodness, I've seen people looking for death, but I've never seen anyone looking for death like this.

Saying such things in front of the emperor's husband, trying to steal his girl, I'll be the first to kill you.

After the Bai family father and son were dragged away, Rong Jing walked up to Ning Zhiwei and stared at her.

Ning Zhiwei rolled her eyes at him unhappily, "What are you looking at?"

Rong Jing sighed softly, "If there is a piece of Tang Monk's flesh, everyone, whether human or demon, would want to take a bite." The pressure is too great.

Ning Zhiwei rubbed his brows and said, "Don't be sour, I'm not interested in those."

She is not the type who is sentimental and spends all day thinking about love and affection. Right now she just wants to get the Yong Dynasty back on track as soon as possible.

There are so many things to do that I can't keep up.

Rong Jing knew her character and also knew that she looked down on Bai Zhanyang, but he just felt uncomfortable.

"I want to fuck him, okay?"

Ning Zhiwei glanced at him and said, "Don't go too far. After all, we have handed in a batch of military pay, and everyone is watching."

Rong Jing raised his lips. He and she were a family. Everyone else was a destroyer! "I know my limits."

He gently held her hand and said carefully, "Zhiwei, let's get married soon."

Here it comes again! Ning Zhiwei leaned his head against him, "Have the cases that have been piled up in the Dali Temple for many years been dealt with? Are the officials from the six ministries in place? Have the local officials been arranged?"

Three questions in a row left Rong Jing speechless.

In the last years of the Great Qi Dynasty, the situation was complicated, the government was corrupt and decadent, and the officials only cared about fighting for power and profit, completely disregarding the lives of the people.

No one is doing anything and the cases are piling up.

When the new dynasty was first established, there was a major reshuffle in the government and the country. All the officials of the old dynasty were replaced, and a new system was built, but there were not enough officials.

These are all under the jurisdiction of Rong Jing, the Minister of Personnel and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

He is so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat properly.

Ning Zhi smiled and pinched his face, "Okay, let's eat. I asked someone to make your favorite dishes and snacks."

"Pass the meal."

Rong Jing was eating the delicious meal, his mind racing. Well, I should write a letter to Xiao Linfeng.

Bai Zhanyang's hard days began. Shangguan took out several backlog cases and threw them to him, asking him to investigate and giving him a deadline.

He had never handled a case before and knew nothing about it. He could only spend a lot of money, ask his colleagues for advice, and spend money to buy people's hearts.

The money was spent, but no results were seen.

After a month, he felt like a worn-out man, covered in dust and dirt, and no longer had the demeanor of the unrivaled young master he once was.

"Father, I don't want to go to the government office to do my job. It's tiring and hard, and I have to be dragged to check the corpses!"

When he first saw the bloated corpse in the eerie funeral home, he completely collapsed and vomited all over the place. It was a horrible sight.

However, Shangguan also said that this is a necessary stage and it will be fine after seeing more corpses.

What the hell, he didn't want to see the dead body at all.

Patriarch Bai looked at his son who had lost weight and sighed helplessly, "Yang'er, be patient. With time, you will be able to get the hang of it."

Bai Zhanyang's patience has reached its limit. "I can't stand it for a day. I don't want to stay in that damn place."

The Dali Temple is a government office that is feared by everyone. People inside are not afraid of corpses and say that people are much scarier than ghosts.

What are you talking about?

The head of the Bai family sighed softly, "Abandoning an official position will be punished."

Bai Zhanyang was furious, "What should I do? Am I going to be bullied by Rong Jing for the rest of my life?"

Although Rong Jing did not show up from beginning to end, he knew that Rong Jing was deliberately targeting him.

This is a man's intuition.

But the problem is, there is no evidence to prove anything.

If you are an official in the Dali Temple, you must abide by the rules of the Dali Temple. If you are asked to go to the charity cemetery to see a corpse in the middle of the night, you have to go.

Oh my god, this life is unbearable.

The head of the Bai family couldn't bear it, "Why can't you do what Rong Jing can do?"

Bai Zhanyang was stunned for a moment, frowning. When Rong Jing was the Chief Justice of Dali Temple, he often went on long journeys to handle cases at the risk of his life, let alone go to the charity cemetery to check on the bodies.

"I……"

The head of the Bai family patted his son's shoulder and decided to tell him something, "Yang'er, the situation of our Bai family is not good. Half of the land in Jiangnan has been taken back by the government."

Bai Zhanyang's face changed drastically, "Why should we take it back? We worked so hard to earn it back."

Land is the lifeline of a family. As long as there is land, they can make a comeback.

Patriarch Bai had been hiding the truth from him before, not wanting to distract him, but now, it was time for him to find out.

"It is said that the head of the Cui family confessed that the land originally belonged to the Cui family, but they put it in the name of our Bai family in order to evade taxes."

Bai Zhanyang looked puzzled. "How could the government believe such a ridiculous reason?"

The head of the Bai family felt bitter. The emperor and his ministers of the new dynasty were all tough, rational, sober and decisive.

"Xiao Lin Fengxin."

Bai Zhanyang was so angry that he jumped up and down, "Damn it, I suspect Xiao Linfeng made it up himself."

But, he has no evidence.

The head of the Bai family was able to become the richest man in Jiangnan through some means. He relied on the aristocratic families and hooked up with the powerful people in the court to get to where he is today.

But now, the aristocratic families have fallen, and the powerful have also fallen.

He wanted to hook up with the empress, but she was indifferent and didn't pay much attention to him.

"What we said in front of the emperor may have reached Xiao Linfeng's ears, and he deliberately retaliated."

He regretted that he shouldn't have been so blunt.

Xiao Linfeng was able to stand out from thousands of people and led the Jinyiwei for many years. He was extremely powerful and his methods were amazing.

If you offend such a person, it will be fatal.

Bai Zhanyang was in a state of panic. That was a notorious wolf. "Who leaked the information? Was it someone close to the empress?"

How could the head of the Bai family know, "Don't alienate the distant relatives, don't usurp the throne of the queen. I was too impatient and underestimated the empress's mind. She didn't mind the former Jinyiwei commander, nor did she worry that he would surpass her in merit."

A new emperor appoints his own ministers, but Xiao Linfeng is the only exception. He still thrives in the new dynasty and is deeply favored by the emperor.

"Without the protection of the imperial power, our Bai family is destined to become a dish on someone else's plate."

eaten!

Bai Zhanyang was very unwilling, "We paid tribute."

Patriarch Bai looked bitter, "So, leave half for us."

Bai Zhanyang couldn't help but curse, "MD, they are all bandits!"

They, father and son, were helpless and neither of them was qualified to ask for a meeting with Ning Zhiwei.

At this time, Ning Zhiwei received an extremely urgent military report from the Northwest. When he opened it, his face changed drastically and he stood up suddenly.

"What? The Jin Kingdom suddenly invaded our border? The enemy leader used my Ning family's military tactics?!"
