Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 409: Ning Xinzhe is missing

Ning Xinzhe stayed with Ning Zhiwei during the day and returned to his own small tent at night, which was next to Ning Zhiwei's main tent.

After all, boys and girls sit at different seats at the age of seven, and he is already nine years old.

Ning Zhiwei ran to the small tent to check, his face as dark as the weather before a storm, "When did he disappear? How come we only found him now?"

Ning Xinzhe was not alone. He brought two servants and two guards with him, who never left his side.

But, he disappeared without anyone noticing last night. Da Zhuang, one of the guards, was also missing, but everyone else was there.

You know, no matter day or night, there are people patrolling around the main tent. The surrounding area is tightly surrounded, with a guard every five steps. How could he disappear under such circumstances?

"Wake them up."

Shaoyao stepped forward to feel the pulse, her face darkened, "Your Majesty, they were drugged."

Ning Zhiwei sneered.

The three were awakened by the cold water. They had no idea what was going on and stared blankly at the people in the room.

Ning Zhiwei looked at them steadily, "Where's Ning Xinzhe?"

"The young master..." The secretary subconsciously looked towards the bed. Hey, where is he?

Ning Zhiwei went to bed at midnight last night, and asked at that time, "Is Ning Xinzhe asleep?"

"What happened last night?"

The secretary felt dizzy and uncomfortable. "Your Majesty, the young master ordered a midnight snack last night. He ate a bowl of sesame dumplings and went to sleep after eating."

The four people following Ning Xinzhe were the Ning family's loyal servants, but at this moment, the guard Da Zhuang and Ning Xinzhe disappeared together.

Ning Zhiwei called the soldiers guarding outside, "Have the young master and Da Zhuang ever been out?"

"No."

Ning Zhiwei took a deep breath and said, "Yu Qing, seal off the military camp and make sure to find the person. We must ensure the safety of the young master."

Although the hope is slim, we should give it a try as long as there is a glimmer of chance.

Yu Qing bowed slightly, "Yes."

He took his people out without saying a word. Ning Zhiwei checked the tent. It was big enough for six people and was simply furnished. There was no bed, only a thick blanket.

There was a cabinet filled with Ning Xinzhe's personal belongings, neatly arranged.

Shishu and the other two had already reacted and knew that Ning Xinzhe was missing, and they couldn't help but become extremely anxious.

"How could this be missing? How?"

"Your Majesty, you must rescue the young master. I beg you."

"Will the kidnappers not harm the young master?"

Ning Zhiwei's face changed and he clenched his right hand into a fist.

Seeing this, Zhou Hongye advised softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Those people spent so much effort to kidnap the young master. It is impossible for them to hurt him. Just wait for them to put forward conditions."

Ning Zhiwei sighed softly. How could she not be worried?

She almost regretted bringing him out. This is a treacherous world. Is it right or wrong to let a child come into contact with it too early?

An idea flashed through her mind, "Go call Xie Tongcheng."

Xie Tongcheng came hurriedly and saw that the military camp was under martial law. He didn't know what had happened.

"I have met the emperor."

Ning Zhiwei didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Who did you catch?"

Xie Tongcheng listed a series of names without hesitation, "The eldest son of the Wang family, the second son of the Ji family, the head of the Xie family, the head of the Liu family..."

Although Xiao Linfeng cleaned up the noble families, killed many family heads, and confiscated several houses, the cunning thing about these noble families was that they kept many hidden tricks.

Among them, there is only one main branch and countless branches. On the surface, they have few connections, but in fact they are unbreakable.

It's fine if you killed all the main branches, but can you kill dozens of branches? Don't you care about your reputation? Who would dare to surrender?

Xiao Linfeng killed a group of family heads and aristocratic families, and the side branches took their place as the main branches, with new family heads, and this went on endlessly.

In addition, they sent many of their outstanding descendants away early on, changed their names and raised them as a future for the family.

These descendants who were sent away would jump out at the critical moment, restore the surname, and revive the family. This is one of the reasons why the aristocratic family has never been destroyed.

These people are hiding very deeply and are difficult to eliminate.

Jiangnan has long been controlled by these aristocratic families. All walks of life are controlled in their hands, and the interests involved are intricately intertwined and difficult to sort out.

Ning Zhiwei's eyes were deep, "Go and bring them over, and tie them all to the poles in the camp."

Those who dare to touch Ning Xinzhe are none other than those aristocratic families.

The murderous aura on her was too strong, so Xie Tongcheng didn't dare to ask more, "Yes."

Soon, a group of wealthy families' sons who lived a life of luxury were tied to poles in the camp. They had never experienced such hardship before and complained bitterly.

"What are you doing? Let me go, let me go."

"You can't do this to me. I am the patriarch of the Xie family. I would rather die than suffer this humiliation."

Xie Tongcheng captured them, but did not abuse them. Instead, he provided them with good food and drink, and let them go as long as they handed over half of their hidden property.

These people are cunning and have many burrows. The wealth they have on the surface is far less than what they hide.

"Don't you lowly people touch me, you hear me?"

No matter how they shouted and yelled, no one paid any attention and they were tied up one by one.

Patriarch Wang had a bad feeling. This time it seemed like a real move. "Who gave this order? Tell him to come over. I have something to say to him."

A voice suddenly sounded, "The Emperor has arrived."

The Embroidered Uniform Guards led the way, and the Imperial Guards came over, surrounding a remarkably beautiful young girl. Her eyes and brows were extremely cold, and she looked intimidating without even getting angry.

The nobles were stunned. Ning Zhiwei? The Empress of the Yong Dynasty?

"Ning..." A pair of cold eyes looked over, and the eldest son of the Wang family stopped talking in time, "Your Majesty, is this an order from you?"

Ning Zhiwei looked at him coldly, "Yes."

The eldest son of the Wang family shuddered, "Your Majesty, you are humiliating the aristocratic family like this. Do you not want to coexist with them?"

Unexpectedly, Ning Zhiwei nodded and said, "Yes, if you dare to touch my family, I will let all the noble families be buried with him, leaving no one behind. Keep your money to buy a coffin, I don't want it."

Everyone was shocked, frightened by her strong murderous aura and the meaning of her words.

Patriarch Wang was very anxious, "Brother Xie, what did your family do?"

Patriarch Xie looked bewildered, "We didn't do anything."

"Your Majesty, please tell me clearly what we did wrong?"

Ning Zhiwei was as if covered by a layer of frost, "Duke Wei is missing."

Everyone was shocked. Duke Wei? Wasn't that the eldest grandson of the Ning family? No wonder she was so furious.

Everyone tried to distance themselves from the matter, "Your Majesty, it was not our Xie family who did this. I swear to heaven."

"It wasn't done by our Wang family either."

"It wasn't our Ji family who did this, Your Majesty, you must believe me, we are innocent."

Ning Zhiwei looked indifferent. "If my nephew dies, I have no intention of distinguishing right from wrong. You are all from noble families. If one person kidnaps someone, all noble families are guilty. I will send all nine of your clans to accompany him."

She never kills an entire clan, but some people don't deserve her kindness.
