Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Ning Zhiwei's eyes locked on Wei Zhongliang, "Su Haozhi."

There were gasps and everyone's faces changed drastically. Prince Consort? How could it be?

Only Wei Zhongliang remained unchanged.

Did I guess wrong? Impossible, this incident was very similar to Su Haozhi's usual method.

"Another possibility is that it is revenge from the Great Jin Kingdom. Don't forget that their little prince died at the hands of my Ning family."

Now Wei Zhongliang was anxious. Wasn't this implying that he was collaborating with the enemy and selling out his country?

"Nonsense, there is no one behind me. I really was ordered to investigate the case and track down the criminal to Qingluo Villa."

Two dying prisoners were brought in, deprived of food and water, and severely beaten.

Faced with the questioning, the man stammered, "I... don't know anything."

Wei Zhongliang shouted anxiously, "Hurry up and tell me. With the Jinyiwei here, no one dares to do anything to you."

The man's eyes were shifty and he looked flustered. "I am an old subordinate of the Ning family. I once fought under General Ning. When I heard that something happened to the Ning family, I was so angry that I killed two of the damn officials."

Killing an official? This is a serious crime that will lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan.

He killed someone and then ran to the Ning family. This was clearly an attempt to drag the Ning family into trouble.

"This is my personal behavior. It has nothing to do with the Ning family."

It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but once he said it, it attracted suspicious looks from all sides.

He still felt that it was not enough, and added, "Fifth Miss, remember, you know nothing."

Everyone has different expressions.

The Ning family felt as disgusted as if they had eaten shit. This bastard is so hypocritical and cunning.

However, this method is useless against expert investigators.

Rong Jing smiled coldly, "Such a low-class and crude method actually came from the hands of the Jinyiwei."

Yu Qing felt embarrassed, MD, it’s not impossible to frame someone, but at least do it smartly.

"Hit me, hit me hard, hit me until I surrender."

But no matter how we beat him, he wouldn't change his tune.

"Click." A crisp sound was heard.

Everyone looked over at the same time. Wow, in this serious and bloody occasion, Ning Zhiwei was actually holding a green fruit and biting it.

"This is a unique green fruit from our Qingluo Villa. It is sweet and delicious. Who wants to try it?"

"Me." Rong Jing stretched out his hand.

Ning Zhi smiled and gave him one. Rong Jing took a bite and it was sweet and juicy. "Not bad."

"This is used to make Qingluo wine, which tastes great."

Xie Tongcheng immediately reached out and asked for a fruit. "You said you would treat me to Qingluo wine last time. Where's the wine?"

Ning Zhiwei rolled her eyes. "Why drink at this time? Alcohol can easily cause trouble. If someone accuses you of bribery with alcohol, you won't be able to explain yourself."

There was talk and laughter, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

Wei Zhongliang's eyes flickered and he was terrified. Ning Zhiwei was more resourceful than he thought.

"Sir, you have seen it too, right? Ning Zhiwei is rampant and lawless, befriending the Jinyiwei with ill intentions."

Ning Zhiwei asked calmly, "What do I want?"

"You Ning family are going to rebel!"

The room was completely silent, and one could hear breathing.

Ning Zhiwei sneered, "How can a few thousand people from my Ning family rebel? We have no people, no money, and no weapons. We are just courting death."

"I'm not stupid, and the emperor is wise and powerful. I just don't know why you want to fabricate a false case and force the Ning family to rebel?"

She tilted her head slightly, "Master Yu, he said he was acting on orders, is that your orders?"

Yu Qing didn't expect that the fire would burn him, and he couldn't help but tremble with fear.

"No, no, it's none of my business. I know nothing. It was that bastard Wei Zhongliang who deceived the emperor."

When Wei Zhongliang heard this, he immediately became anxious and his head was hot. "Sir, why are you all protecting her? Is there some hidden relationship between you two?"

He was like a mad dog on the verge of death, biting anyone he caught without any regard for the consequences.

As soon as these words came out, a smile flashed in Ning Zhiwei's eyes. He was finished.

Yu Qing was furious and started cursing.

Xiao Linfeng's expression was terribly gloomy, and he suddenly said, "Princess Jingning, the emperor asked me to tell you that he believes in you and the Ning family's loyalty."

These words were like a thunderclap, making Wei Zhongliang and others look as pale as death.

Why didn't he say it earlier or later, but said it at this moment, which dealt them a fatal blow.

"Thank you for your trust, my Lords. Please continue the investigation. I want to see who is behind this."

Ning Zhiwei slowly finished eating a fruit, took the handkerchief and wiped it clean, with an elegant and calm manner.

"Li Ergou, from Lijiazhuang, escaped from the army and returned to his hometown ten years ago. He changed his name, married and had a child. Just a month ago, his only son suddenly fell seriously ill and had no money to treat him. Half a month later, a famous doctor took the initiative to come to his home to treat him."

"Chen Si, Li Ergou's cousin, loves gambling the most. He lost everything in gambling and mortgaged his wife and daughter to the casino. Not long ago, he suddenly had a huge sum of money and bought a house and 20 acres of good farmland. The two happened at about the same time. Interesting, isn't it?"

"What kind of conscience can a deserter and a gambler have? What kind of integrity can he have?"

Li Ergou and Chen Si gasped and their faces turned pale.

In just two days, she actually found out their details.

"But you took them in." Wei Zhongliang had gone completely crazy. He knew that he had no way to escape this time and wanted to drag everyone down with him.

A villager knelt down with red eyes, "It's all my fault. Li Ergou claimed to be a veteran of the Ning family. He was going to the capital for something and came to visit his old master on the way. I believed him and kept him as my guest."

"Who knew that I would end up in trouble? I am sorry to my brothers in the village and my master."

"I'll die as a token of my sin." He stood up and resolutely rammed his head against the pillar.

"No."

Fortunately, he was caught in time and only suffered minor injuries.

Ning Zhiwei sighed softly, "You are not wrong. The ones who are wrong are those who plotted against us with ulterior motives. They should be the ones to die."

She was uninterested. "My Lords, I have said everything I need to say. Please continue your investigation."

She turned and left, taking a large group of people with her.

Those who stayed behind were Jinyiwei and Rong Jing and others.

Some details still needed to be verified and many confessions needed to be recorded, so everyone conducted a surprise interrogation overnight and was very busy.

It was late at night and Ning Zhiwei couldn't sleep. She wandered around the garden unconsciously, her mind full of things.

What an eventful time.

A deep voice sounded, "Why don't you sleep at night?"

Ning Zhiwei turned around and said, "Master Rong, aren't you asleep too?"

The man in blue looked like a god in the bright moonlight, and walked towards them step by step. "Don't think too much. The Ning family will be fine."

Maybe it was because she was too tired, Ning Zhiwei was in a trance, "I really want to be a good person, really."

Rong Jing felt a pain in his heart, "Ning Zhiwei, nothing else matters, as long as you live well."

"You..." Ning Zhiwei was stunned.

At this moment, a figure appeared in front of him, "Am I disturbing you?"

Rong Jing frowned, and Ning Zhiwei smiled generously, "We are discussing what to eat for supper, Sir Xiao, what flavor do you like?"

Xiao Linfeng looked at her deeply and said, "I like spicy food."

Ning Zhiwei said happily, "Then, let's have grilled chicken, white fungus and lotus seed porridge, and dragon beard noodles in clear soup."

The spicy grilled chicken rack is from Xiao Linfeng, the white fungus and lotus seed porridge is from Rong Jing, and the clear soup dragon beard noodles is from Ning Zhiwei.

Suddenly, Xiao Linfeng said, "I just found out that Lord Rong likes sweet food."

There was something else behind his words, but Rong Jing didn't seem to hear it. "This is also the first time I know that Lord Xiao likes spicy food."

They were talking in Zen, but Ning Zhiwei pretended not to hear them and ate her noodle soup leisurely.

"Master, a letter from the northwest."

Letters received late at night are usually extremely urgent.

"Give it here quickly." Ning Zhiwei took the letter impatiently, opened it and the usually strong girl's eyes suddenly turned red, and crystal clear tears rolled down.

She didn't cry when she was beaten with a stick for filing a complaint to the emperor, nor did she cry when she was falsely accused of treason, but she cried after reading the letter.

Something happened at the border? Xiao Linfeng's heart tightened, and he was about to ask, but Rong Jing beat him to the punch.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

The worry that he couldn't hide made Xiao Linfeng's eyes look a little cold.
