Chapter 65 Is this enough to confiscate the property?

"Why are you looking for me so late?"

Duke Ningguo asked as soon as he entered the bedroom.

He had finally gotten a good night's sleep these past few days and went to bed early, but he didn't expect that Zhong would send someone to look for him in the middle of the night.

"I can't see, so how can I tell the difference between morning and evening?"

Zhong said resentfully.

"Besides, can't I come find you if I have nothing to do? You haven't rested at my place for several days."

Duke Ningguo felt a little guilty: "You are ill now, I can't disturb you. I haven't been to other people's places, I've been resting in the outer courtyard, don't think too much."

"Will you stay with me tonight?"

Zhong grabbed his sleeve, looking panicked.

"All day long, I see darkness in front of my eyes. I feel anxious and as if something is staring at me from the darkness."

Duke Ningguo felt a tightness in his heart.

He immediately scanned the dormitory from top to bottom, and only when he saw that there was no Zong ghost did he feel a little relieved.

"Don't worry, there's nothing in this room."

Zhong still didn't let go: "Can't you just sit for a while?"

Duke Ningguo sighed and sat down beside the bed.

Zhong climbed onto his arm, rested her head on his chest, and whispered, "A Taoist priest came today and said I wasn't sick, but poisoned."

Duke Ningguo's heart skipped a beat.

"Is this true? What kind of poison did you get? Can I help you get rid of it?"

Zhong sighed, "That Taoist priest had never seen this poison before, so he just had some guesses."

Duke Ningguo felt relieved.

He said that the medicine given by ghosts should not be visible to people.

The Taoist priest can communicate with ghosts and gods, so it is normal for him to see some clues, but his Taoism is not enough to drive away the evil.

"It's okay. There are so many extraordinary people in the world. If you keep looking, you will eventually find a miracle doctor."

He said comfortingly.

Zhong responded indifferently.

From an angle where Duke Ningguo couldn't see, her face was so gloomy that water could be squeezed out of it.

Fearing that staying at the Zhong family's place for too long would cause dissatisfaction among the Zong family's ghosts, Duke Ningguo consoled them with a few words and then returned to the outer study.

Zhong sat on the couch with her eyes open for a while. After a while, she groped her way down to get off the couch, opened the cabinet beside the footstool, took out a small box, and called her trusted nanny in.

"Find a way to get this medicine to Aunt Liu, and don't let anyone else know."

After that, he whispered to her the purpose of the medicine.

Mammy said hello.

The next day, he reported to Mrs. Zhong: "The medicine was delivered to Concubine Liu's brother after many twists and turns. Her brother has just sent someone to bring the medicine to Concubine Liu."

Zhong had no expression on her face.

Two days later, Duke Ningguo died in Concubine Liu's bed.

It was a very undignified death.

He died of wind immediately.

When the news reached Zong Hebai's ears, his hand on the abacus suddenly stopped and he no longer remembered what to count.

"My niece is truly remarkable."

After a moment, he sighed.

That night at Jiangnan Cottage, when he heard Feng Qingsui dig out the truth about his sister's death, he almost flew into a rage and killed Ning Zeming, the unscrupulous beast, with a single knife.

The Duke's Mansion robbed and plundered people, forcing good people to become bandits, which led to the kidnapping of his sister. Unrepentant, he even colluded with his mistress to poison his sister and abandoned his own daughter!

You are worse than pigs and dogs. You are unfit to be a husband and a father!

Even if you cut him into pieces, it would not be enough to relieve the hatred in his heart!

For fear of ruining Feng Qingsui's plan, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

That night, after Ning Zeming returned home, Feng Qingsui said to him, "You only need to do one thing: create the illusion of debt and dispel Ning Zeming's suspicion of you."

He was extremely dissatisfied.

"You look down on Fourth Uncle? Let me take care of the revenge. I promise to make the Ningguo Mansion pay for its blood debt with blood!"

Feng Qingsui said, "Wait until I, the victim, have finished my revenge before you report it."

he:"……"

Considering that his niece had been living in exile and suffered for so many years, he compromised.

Let her report first.

But once she took action, she destroyed the Ning family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and took Ning Zeming's life. How could he take revenge?

The only thing left was to confiscate the property and exterminate the Ningguo family.

After weighing the evidence of Ningguo Mansion's crimes that he had collected, he held his forehead.

The most crucial account book is in the girl's hands, and the evidence on his side can only serve as supporting evidence.

"It turns out that having a child who is too successful is not a good thing."

He let out a long sigh.

"It seems that adults are useless."

In the Ji Mansion, Feng Qingsui sneezed for no reason. He looked up at the branches that were still bare although had some green buds. He felt that it would take some time before he could put away his down jacket.

After finding out that Ji Changqing had already left the court, she took the account books that she had asked Wuhua to get from the Ningguo Mansion that night and went to find him in the study in the outer courtyard.

"Is this enough to confiscate the house?"

She asked after putting the account book on the desk.

Ji Changqing was slightly stunned.

He raised his hand and flipped through a few pages, then his expression paused.

"How did the Ningguo Mansion offend you?"

Apart from Ning Fengluan running up to them a few times, she should have had no contact with the people in Ningguo Mansion. Why did she want to raid their house right away?

Feng Qingsui met his puzzled look and smiled, saying, "Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country. Of course, I must roll up my sleeves and help catch this rat that is bringing disaster to the nation and its people."

Ji Changqing: “…”

It sounds so good, but why doesn't she steal other people's account books?

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Feng Qingsui urged: "Second Master hasn't replied to me yet, is it enough to confiscate his property?"

Ji Changqing said expressionlessly, "More than enough."

"Then I'll trouble you, Master, to get rid of this evil for the people."

Feng Qingsui said with a smile.

The curved eyes are like the crescent moon rising in the sky, smart and pure.

Ji Changqing's eyes flickered slightly.

He had a dream at night. He dreamed that a little red fox was looking at him from behind a tree in the snow, its amber eyes shining with a smart light.

He walked over and it lay silent, letting him put his hand on the tip of its long ears.

After rubbing it twice, the little fox's pointed face suddenly turned into Feng Qingsui's face.

He woke up suddenly.

He stared at the pitch-black tent ceiling for a long time before falling asleep again.

The next morning at court, he made a report to the Ningguo Mansion.

The emperor was furious and immediately ordered a house search.

When the Imperial Guards broke into the Ningguo Mansion where a funeral was being held, Zhong knelt in front of the brazier, burning paper while crying. Ning Fengluan and her brother, who was five years younger than her, knelt behind her with sad faces.

Relatives and friends who came to pay their respects were busy offering their condolences.

Everyone was shocked by the sudden arrival of the Royal Guards.

He was even more shocked when he heard the four words "Search your property by order!" spoken to the Imperial Guards.

Ning Fengluan was stunned for a few moments before she reacted.

"Search the house? What house are you searching for? Our Ning family hasn't done anything bad!"

"Save this for the Department of Prisons."

The commander of the Royal Guards replied coldly.

The imperial guards behind him spread out and searched each courtyard.

Zhong screamed in panic, "No, you can't do this! My son is about to inherit the title. How can you confiscate my property? Stop it!"

She stood up and tried to stop him, but stepped on the brazier.

The flames ran up her skirt and burned her into a fireman.

"ah!--"

The servants hurriedly took things to beat the fire and put it out, but they couldn't put it out. They could only scoop up water and pour it all over her.

Ning Fengluan hugged her and cried sadly.

"Mother! Mother! What should we do?"

Zhong suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Go find your grandmother. The Zong family has a red seal and an iron certificate! It can save our lives!"
