Soon all the money was counted in front of Ning Chengyun. Ning Chengyun looked at the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and asked slowly: "Give you a chance to explain."

The evidence was conclusive, so these people dared to argue, so they knelt down and admitted their mistakes repeatedly, "Your Majesty, I don't know. Xiaguan and others reported the specific amount to Prince Heng. Prince Heng carried the silver to us, and gave us a box of 10,000 taels. After putting the seal, Xiaguan sent it directly to Pingnan Hou. Xiaguan really didn't know it!"

Prince Heng is one of the people in charge of the national treasury and Ning Chengyun's half-brother.

The emperor's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot.

Tang Ning didn't expect that this matter would involve a prince. Just as she was about to be a low-key person, Ning Chengyun suddenly asked her: "When the box was delivered, the seal was intact?"

Tang Ning nodded and whispered by Ning Chengyun, "I think they shouldn't lie, but I don't believe it if they know nothing."

Ning Chengyun understood, this is probably the default rule, it is ridiculous!

He clenched his fists, smiled ferociously, and said, "Come on, bring these people back to me! Take all these silver boxes!"

Tang Ning knew that the next thing involved the royal face and consciously gave the emperor respectfully.

She straightened her back as soon as the person left, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Ding Yi beside her, "Do you think this will be resolved like this?"

Ding Yikuang shook his head. He had now begun to doubt whether his wife was causing trouble. He had caused so many storms after entering Jing. His heart felt almost scared.

Tang Ning curled his lips.

When Qiu Jingming came back in the evening, Ding Yi kept guarding outside the mansion. When he saw someone busy, he told him everything that happened during the day.

Qiu Jingming nodded slightly and said, "I know everything, don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with us."

Ding Yi saw Qiu Jingming calmly and immediately became at ease. Qiu Jingming, who entered the study, immediately asked Tang Ning what happened today.

Tang Ning talked about the situation all over, his face looked a little bad. "I used to think that this kind of personal pocket should be at the local area, and the local officials secretly operated it. Unexpectedly, it started just after leaving the treasury. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk... Such things are endless, Da Qi is probably going to follow the old path of Da Zhou!"

Qiu Jingming naturally understood the key and pondered: "Before the emperor's imperial edict was released, you should stay in the mansion honestly during this period and don't go anywhere."

"Why? I did nothing wrong." Tang Ning resisted dissatisfied.

Qiu Jingming said: "You did nothing wrong, but you can't resist what someone wants to do to you. I believe that with your ability, there will be no danger. What you are afraid of is a problem."

They are new to them, so there is no need to offend so many people.

Tang Ning curled his lips and didn't care, but was obedient and kept silent.

In the palace, Ning Chengyun did not return to the imperial study, but took his people and things to the Xuanhuang Palace where the Emperor lived.

He told the Supreme Emperor everything and said with a serious look: "Father, what do you think your son should deal with this matter?"

The Supreme Emperor stared at the nine-five son in front of him, and then looked at the silver. He was speechless for a long time. After a while, he closed his eyes with heartache, "The state has national laws, the family has family rules, and the emperor violated the law and the common people. He will deal with it as much as he should. Don't ask what I mean!"

Ning Chengyun felt relieved, and after thanking her, she took the people away.

Ning Gong shook his body, and the old slave who was serving him beside him rushed forward to support him, and said worriedly: "Grandpa, take care of yourself! In fact, it is not impossible for you to report to Prince Heng..."

Gong Ning interrupted him and said with a serious expression: "Da Qi finally got on the right track, so this kind of borer must not appear. Today, the third brother is not lucky. If he bumped into it, he will do whatever he should do. I will never tolerate it!"

"But the concubine's side..." The old slave had just raised his head, and Gong Ning waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Don't worry! I've been staying in this palace for a long time and I'm tired. I'll follow me to go back to Ning Mansion to stay for a few days."

The old slave instantly understood what the master meant and hurriedly prepared.

On the morning of the fifth day of the lunar month, before everyone could recover from the New Year's celebration, Ning Chengyun had a lot of people going up the court, from his brother Prince Heng to his seventh and eighth rank officials of the Ministry of Revenue, none of them could escape.

Du Bailiang and others were shocked.

Prince Heng never expected that he would fail the first time he did this kind of thing. He knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. However, the emperor was not soft-hearted and surrendered to the prince. He even blamed twenty in front of the civil and military officials, killing one to warn a hundred.

Tang Ning stood among all civil and military officials and accepted everyone's gaze as if they were not there, it was like nothing happened.

Prince Heng, no, Prince Heng wanted to tear Tang Ning out of his body, but at this moment he didn't even dare to look at her.

Tang Ning naturally knew that after this incident, she would make countless enemies in the court, but she didn't care.

After morning court, Ning Chengyun ordered someone to send her a new batch of silver. This time Tang Ning did not count it again, and there was no need for this.

After receiving the silver, he went to the palace to say goodbye to the emperor. Qiu Jingming's work was almost over until summer and he could not leave with her.

In this way, Tang Ning set out on his own with a team of men back to Jiangnan.

As expected, she met several groups of assassins on the way, and she took them all. She did not hide this matter from her, and wrote letters to the emperor to report them all.

The assassination of the Jiangnan territory was only a matter of abortion.

It was not yet the first month of the year, and Jiangnan was cold and frozen, but the willow branches had sprouted, and it was really not easy to be discovered in the snow and ice.

Tang Ning's ship docked in Suzhou. She ordered people to move all the money to the mansion where she lived. She only felt at ease when she saw the money in warehousing and called Chai Jianshu and Luo Dahai over.

Chai Jianshu hurriedly reported the matters during this period one by one, "Sir, the water conservancy in Suzhou has been completed. If you have time, you can go to patrol and check it out. If you need to start construction, we can send someone to do it immediately. In addition, the secret room you ordered your brothers to seal it collapsed."

"It's collapsed?" Tang Ning widened his eyes in surprise.

Chai Jianshu nodded indescribable terms, "Although the secret room is specially built and the materials are good, no matter how good it is, it cannot stand a mountain above it. I guess it must have collapsed because it was overwhelmed."

Tang Ning's face tightened and asked anxiously: "Have you hurt anyone?"

Chai Jianshu replied uncertainly: "No one was injured on the surface. After all, outsiders are not allowed to approach the place, but the one below is unclear."

They still don’t even know how many people have been locked in the secret room, and they are even more confused when they collapse.
