Comprehensive film and television: Make trouble before lying down
Chapter 139: Mo Yu Yun Jian
What's going on? She looked at her second uncle, then her third uncle. Even her second aunt and Jia'er didn't show any reluctance to leave, which made her feel very frustrated.
"Ali, your second aunt has packed your luggage for you." Zhuo walked over with a smile.
"Don't worry, my second aunt will go to the capital in a few days, and our whole family will go there to support you."
Jiuning blinked her big, kazilan eyes, still confused.
"You said you were getting married but you didn't tell me in advance. If it weren't for Duke Su, we would still be in the dark.
Don't worry, your second aunt has taken care of all your dowry and will definitely give you a grand wedding."
Zhuo patted her chest and made a promise with a heroic look on her face. Her niece was so capable that she could find a good husband for herself without relying on the Jiang family.
Not only was the marriage granted by the imperial decree, there was no mother-in-law to interfere, and even the Duke of Su came personally to assure them that she had never seen a better marriage than this.
Jiuning finally understood, then chuckled and took Zhuo's arm.
"Second aunt, don't you feel a bit reluctant?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Duke Su said we can come to see you anytime we want, and we won't restrict your freedom. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
It was full, how could she be dissatisfied? Jiu Ning pouted and said, "Then I will wait for you in the capital."
Out of the sight of Zhuo, Jiu Ning cursed in his heart. Xiao Heng had also learned to act first and report later. He didn't even say hello. I don't know how he convinced his grandmother.
What if she doesn't agree? Just look at who she'll marry at the wedding. Humph!
Afterwards, while the capital had not yet reacted, the group rode their horses at full speed towards the capital.
Because she had to take care of the sick Xue Huaiyuan, Xue Fangfei also rode on horseback.
But according to Xiao Heng's prediction, two days had already passed, and there was no reason for the Li family not to send assassins. With this uneasy feeling, he went all the way to the capital and entered the city gate, but did not see any sign of the assassins.
It was not until the next day when he went to court that Li Zhongnan pulled the man into a corner and threatened him.
"Duke Su, isn't it time to release the child?"
Xiao Heng narrowed his slender eyebrows and smiled brightly, saying, "What are you talking about, Prime Minister Li? Young Master Li has disappeared, yet he comes to me to ask for someone."
Li Zhongnan frowned and grabbed Xiao Heng by the collar. "Don't play dumb with me. My son Li Jin disappeared in Luyang. How dare you say this has nothing to do with you?"
Xiao Heng was even more surprised. The last time he knew about Li Jin was the night of the assassin, but he did not make things difficult for him.
But that night I was afraid that Li Jin would do something bad, so I asked someone to watch him, and I never paid any attention to him again after that.
And in Luyang, the only one who is not afraid that the prefect will take action against Li Jin is probably that person.
Xiao Heng laughed sarcastically, "Prime Minister Li, please be careful with your words. I rescued Master Li out of kindness and never influenced his whereabouts. Prime Minister, please don't slander me."
After saying that, he slapped the hand that was holding his collar away.
"Duke Su, you'd better tell the truth. Otherwise, even if I don't care about my dignity, I will still seek justice from His Majesty."
Li Zhongnan was so angry that his eyes widened, and he left with a flick of his sleeves.
In the court, His Majesty only mentioned the gold mine and ordered a thorough investigation. As for the criminal Feng Yutang, he did not say how to deal with him, nor did he mention the matter of Tong Zhiyang.
As soon as the court was over, Xiao Heng started to think about Li Jin. He was very curious about what Jiu Ning had done to the man. Even Li Xiang couldn't find him. However, he believed that the man must not be dead. Even if he was dead, he would not have died at Jiu Ning's hands.
I went back to the Duke Su's Mansion to ask and learned that Jiuning went to Zhenweilou. Since its opening, Uncle Li has spread its reputation. I heard that even the high-ranking officials in the capital couldn't reserve a table even if they asked for help.
When Xiao Heng arrived at Zhenweilou, he saw people coming and going. Those who entered the building were all wealthy and prestigious guests. When they saw him coming, they all came forward to greet him.
It was even more lively inside. In the lobby on the first floor, there was a storyteller who was banging the gavel and spitting everywhere.
The private rooms on the second and third floors were also crowded at this time. You could even hear people at the tables downstairs asking when the private rooms would be available.
When he walked through the lobby and into the backyard, he saw Jiu Ning, who was smiling and counting small coins.
"You came!"
When he saw someone coming in, Jiuning's eyebrows narrowed even more.
"Hahahaha, I'll be a rich man in the future. Xiao Heng, you don't know this, this hotel is simply a treasure pot and a money tree, making a fortune every day. Uncle Li is really amazing!"
As he laughed, his face wrinkled again, and he pushed Xiao Qianqian in front of Xiao Heng reluctantly.
"It's useless for me to have this money. I plan to ask my second uncle's family to make cotton-padded clothes and send them to the army for the soldiers to wear. Is that okay?"
Xiao Heng's grinning mouth froze on his face, and then he pulled the person into his arms.
"Just keep your money for yourself. Don't worry about anything else. I'll take care of it."
Jiu Ning smiled and leaned gently in his arms: "Do you think I have any money to spend?"
Xiao Heng prepared clothes, and the Ye family also sent her boxes of them. She also had several boxes of jewelry and headwear. She had everything she needed for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
She had no social connections and didn't need to attend banquets or give gifts. It would be better for her to use the money to do some good deeds.
Tong Zhiyang didn't deal with it for the time being, so she paid for the repairs of the burned houses out of her own pocket.
But she wrote it all down in her little notebook, and she would have to get the money back sooner or later.
"I have something to ask you. Do you know where Li Jin went?"
Jiuning shrank her neck. What a bad boy, why should he just speak nicely? Why is he blowing into her ears?
"Li Jin? Didn't I tell you?"
Blinking, she seemed to have really forgotten: "Um... I... is, that..."
Jiu Ning was embarrassed to speak, fearing that Xiao Heng would get angry. Well... you don't have to tell him everything, it's okay to just pick out some of them.
"I fed him a sufficient amount of knockout drug, found him a carriage, and headed north..."
Looking at the other person's evasive eyes, Xiao Heng knew that she was not telling the truth, or that she was not telling the whole truth.
"The North, why did you think of going there?"
Jiuning thought about it and decided not to let the cat out of the bag, so he went over the words in his mind.
"He left the capital without permission. If he caused some trouble in the northern border, wouldn't it be even more chaotic?"
After saying this, she chuckled. She really admired herself for thinking so quickly. How did she come up with that idea?
Xiao Heng strangely grasped the words of the North Territory riot. It seemed that Jiu Ning had indeed done something else. Since he didn't want to talk about it, he could just let it go for now! It wasn't a big deal anyway.
"The imperial edict will be issued tomorrow. Wait at home for it. There will be a surprise!"
"Surprise, I like it. What about you? If you can't satisfy me, I won't let you see the bride at the wedding banquet."
