The world of rebirth

Hong Xi couldn't ignore Ning Yunjin's eyes, after all, the sarcasm in the corner of this man's mouth could be seen at a glance, obviously he saw through his gloating psychology.

He was suffocating in a panic, but he had nothing to do with this person!

From childhood to adulthood, judging from the facts he saw, Hong Xi couldn't imagine how much his father liked this person.Even without his relationship with his father, Ning Yunjin's status as a heaven worshiper alone is enough to make him unable to deal with him easily.

At this time, he really hated those who gave him bad ideas!

When he was still young, the group of people headed by his uncle gave him advice. If he wanted to compete with the prince, he could not pretend to be someone who was definitely not able to win over the prince, so that those who were dissatisfied with the prince It will gradually move closer to itself.

However, due to the special relationship with the two empresses, the Ning family was obviously only loyal to their father, and there was no way to win over them.Given the relationship between Hongxi and Anping's family, it is natural that they know more about the affairs of the back house of the Ning Mansion than ordinary people.At that time, his counselors decided to alienate the eldest and second eldest of the Ning family. After all, although a land sacrificer is rare, as long as he can aspire to the throne, there will naturally be clan etiquette to suppress him to be obedient.

Because of this way of thinking, coupled with his own jealousy of Ning Yunjin's love from his father, Hong Xi has always been very rude to him, but before the so-called "later", things have become out of control, he thought The third child of the Ning family who wanted to befriend was also taken out of the Ning family.

If he had known earlier, Hong Xi would definitely not have chosen to have such a bad relationship with this person. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world, and now he can only persevere to the end. Just show him his favor, I'm afraid that people on my side will have opinions.

Hong Xi cast a fierce glance at Ning Yunjin's back, planning to find someone to investigate after returning to Beijing. He didn't believe that this person was really that perfect. How could Ning Yunjin care about Hong Xi's annoyance? His thoughts were focused on the changes in the court after Zuo Shiheng's death.

Zuo Shiheng was the patriarch of the five surnames and the chief assistant of the imperial court. His death had an extremely significant impact on the political situation of the imperial court. A change in the cabinet alone could trigger a series of reactions.What's more subtle is that after his death, Zuo Shipinglin didn't have his prestige at all, and was demoted. The crown prince's support in the court was cut in half. Unknowingly, the power of the three princes who had the chance to aspire to the throne reached balance.

Due to such a temporary incident, the speed of their group was much faster, and they rushed towards Beijing all night, and finally arrived in the early morning of the next day.

When they arrived in Beijing, Ning Yunjin didn't follow Wenzhen and the others into the palace, but went straight home.As soon as he entered the house, he saw Feng Songbai leading a few maids to greet him.

"Second Young Master really returned home first!" Feng Songbai said, "Master said that upon hearing the news, you will definitely come back and change your clothes. You have already prepared it."

Ning Yunjin saw that it was sackcloth, so he nodded, "Send it to my yard, I have to change into a plain suit first." According to common sense, he and Zuo Shiheng have already produced five clothes without mourning, but that After all, it is his elders, his own leader, the imperial court's Ding Haishenzhen, who will go in hemp and filial piety so that people will not lose their tongues.

He knew that his father must be afraid that he would not think of this, so he made people ready in advance.

"Where's father and elder brother?"

"They have already gone to Master Zuo's house to hang their filial piety first." Feng Songbai replied.

After hastily changing into plain clothes and sackcloth, Ning Yunjin asked Qin Ming to drive towards Zuo Shi's house.The closer they were to Zuo Shi's house, the more carriages there were, and in the end they couldn't move at all, and Ning Yunjin had to get out of the carriage and leave.

There were more than one or two who had the same experience as him. After gathering together, Ning Yunjin quickly figured out the whole story of Zuo Shiheng's death.

To be honest, the death of the old man was both expected and unexpected.His health has been going up and down since years ago, but when it came time to start the war with Da Shang, he was in high spirits, and he didn't see any sickness at all. Success, so I didn't care.

After the big victory, the old man's body became weaker, but it still didn't affect his actions.On Tomb-sweeping Day, he was so excited that he decided to preside over the ancestor worship in person despite his family's obstruction. As a result, he started to have a fever at night, and he stopped breathing the next morning.

When Ning Yunjin entered Zuo Shi's house, he found that the family was crying so sincerely. The mournful cry made the listeners cry. Even Zuo Shipinglin, who is now the head of the family, also had a smile on his face. A little dazed.But after thinking about it, it becomes clear that his status is not comparable to Zuo Shiheng's. If the old man leaves, unless the crown prince succeeds, the Zuo Shi family, the former first family of Great Xia, will start to keep a low profile.

After burning incense, Ning Yunjin was led to a room on the side, where he saw his father and elder brother who were helping the guests.

Ning Yunjin is too young, but because of his high title, it is really difficult for people from the Zuo Shi family to ask him for help, so he has become the most idle one.

After drinking a cup of tea, Ning Yunjin couldn't sit still.Maybe it was the sequelae of that day. I always felt uncomfortable after sitting for too long. Seeing that no one was paying attention to me, I said hello to my father and brother, and slipped into the garden alone.

In fact, the layout of the big families in Beijing is similar. Zuo Shi’s house also has a rockery and a pool. In order to be quiet, he didn’t go to the waterside pavilion, but jumped onto the rockery.There is no pavilion on the rockery of Zuo Shijia, and there are many rocks on it, and there is not even a flat place. Ning Yunjin originally wanted to bask in the sun, but when he saw this, he was a little disappointed, and planned to go to the waterside pavilion obediently.

Before he jumped off the rockery, three people came over suddenly, for some unknown reason, Ning Yunjin was stunned for a moment.After seeing clearly who those three people were, his heart skipped a beat and he hid behind a rock while holding his breath.

It turned out that two of the three people, Ning Yunjin, knew each other. The leader was Zuo Shicheng, one of them was Lu Wendao, and the other was about 40 or [-] years old, with a goatee.Of these two people, one should be a filial son crying in the mourning hall at this time, and the other should have been rejected by the prince long ago, but Ning Yunjin didn't know why they got mixed up again. It was because of this strange reason that he acted secretly. Listen to the mind.

Zuo Shicheng said nervously, "Why are you looking for me? Didn't I tell you not to come to the mansion."

"I can't help it. I have to go back when I meet the Holy Queen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Isn't it urgent?" Lu Wendao turned and pointed at the other person, "This is from the south. He wants to see His Royal Highness, and he needs your help." Referral."

"South?" Zuo Shicheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your side?"

"I don't know if His Royal Highness was satisfied with the gadgets that the Crown Prince accepted last time?" Even though the man was trying to curry favor with Zuo Shicheng, he still had a lot of bearing, "This time the master sent some more, and brought some southern The specialty millet..."

Zuo Shicheng obviously knew what the so-called gadgets were, "Is your master looking for the crown prince?"

The man hurriedly said, "The master heard that His Royal Highness is now in charge of storage, so there is something important to discuss." He added, "The master said, some things must be handed over to His Highness."

"It's not easy to bring you into the palace or invite the prince out of the palace to meet you..." Zuo Shicheng pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Well, the prince should come to mourn tomorrow, and I will find a way to arrange it. But it might not be too long."

"That's enough. As long as I can see His Royal Highness, my ancestors have already burned high incense." The man said a little excitedly, then took out a small box from his sleeve and handed it to Zuo Shicheng, "Look at my memory, This is a gift specially prepared by the master for Mr. Zuo Shi, I almost forgot."

Ning Yunjin saw Zuo Shicheng open the box, and the stack of bank notes inside almost blinded his eyes.Zuo Shicheng just glanced at it, then closed the lid, and smiled with satisfaction.

The three of them didn't dare to stay here any longer, they agreed to come over tomorrow, and then parted ways.

Ning Yunjin jumped off the rockery, looked at the backs of those three people, and fell into deep thought.

As far as I know, Lu Wendao is now the magistrate of Pingjiang County. If it is a southerner he wants to recommend to Hongming, then it must be from the Hunan area.As for Hongming, the only thing that Hongming can get in on at the moment is the New Warehouse Policy in Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian.

Seeing that Zuo Shicheng was somewhat courteous to that person just now, of course it just depends on the owner to beat a dog, so it can be sure that the person's master status should be quite high. official.

Governor, storage, gift giving... Until he returned to the palace to rest, Ning Yunjin hadn't figured out the relationship between these three, but he didn't know why he was very concerned about this matter in his heart, and he always felt that it would have a great impact. big thing.

When Wen Zhen came to look for him, he saw Ning Yunjin lying on the bed tossing and turning, seemed a little irritable.

"Why, why is it so troublesome to go to Master Zuo's house?"

Ning Yunjin turned over and sat up, hugging the quilt and asked, "It has nothing to do with Zuo Shijia. By the way, why did the magistrate of Pingjiang come to Beijing?"

The advantage of an excellent memory is that you can connect things immediately without thinking too much, Wen Zhen said, "Pingjiang County Magistrate? Lu Wendao? Did you meet him today? Could it be that you still hate that incident?"

"Such a small conflict, how can a man as broad-minded as me remember it!" Ning Yunjin pretended to be bold and authentic, "Quickly tell me, what exactly is he here for!"

If you are broad-minded, then you really don't have narrow-minded people!

Wen Zhen refrained from expressing his complaints, and explained, "Of course he came to ask for money. The Dongting area has been flooded for three or four years. If I remember correctly, Huo Quangui should have sent him here. Hearing that his grandfather is not in good health, it can be regarded as his filial piety."

The author has something to say: Huo Quangui is the current governor of Huguang, and also the grandfather of Ning Yunting's former friend Huo Jinmin.At that time, Ning Yunjin didn't want his elder brother to befriend Huo Jinmin, not only because of that person's bad character, but also because he knew that the Huo family would be involved in a lawsuit of ransacking and exterminating the family...

Thinking of that lawsuit, he suddenly widened his eyes and figured out the joints involved.

Seeing his solemn expression, Wen Zhen couldn't help asking with concern, "What's wrong?"

If he remembered correctly, the case would not break out at least two years later.But thinking of those suffering people, Ning Yunjin hesitated for a while, and finally decided to expose him in advance. He looked at Wenzhen and said, "Have you confirmed the waterlogging? It’s impossible for continuous floods to affect the harvest!?”

Wen Zhen didn't know why he asked this question, but he explained, "All the official documents in the Hunan area mentioned waterlogging! It shouldn't be a problem."

Even though he said that, he didn't say the last few words firmly, because Wenzhen knew that Ning Yunjin was not a person who was aimless!

Ning Yunjin looked at him seriously, "Then what if there is a problem with the waterlogging?"

Wen Zhen clenched his fists with both hands, his eyes lit up, "That's a shocking case!"

Although Wenzhen didn't know the source of Ning Yunjin's news, he had no doubts about Ning Yunjin's judgment. When he thought that all the officials in Huguang from top to bottom were united to deceive the world, he suddenly became restless and didn't think about those charming things anymore. things.

He stood up and patted Ning Yunjin's head and said, "I will investigate this matter."

Seeing him turn away and close the door behind him, Ning Yunjin couldn't help touching his chin, a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth, the poor prince was going to be in trouble.
