Jiapingguan Chronicle

"How much do they want?" Ying Wu couldn't help it. "Is it too greedy? It's completely the behavior of a leech!"

"People's desires will gradually grow bigger as time goes by. This is human nature."

"Yes, human nature, unless there are people with strong self-control, there will be no exceptions for everyone." Shen Cha looked at Jin Jing and nodded in agreement, "If there is one, there will be two, and if there is one, there will be two. If you say two, there will be three, as long as the other party doesn't refuse, there will be countless times. But once you refuse, the consequences of the outbreak will be unimaginable."

"The general is right." Jin Jing said blankly, "From the very beginning, this matter has been the weakness of Ningchang Kingdom, and it can be manipulated. If the couple were not so greedy, if they were a little more responsible , there will be no such troubles, but when people face infinite benefits, they will be overwhelmed by rationality and be dazzled, even if they know that doing so may bring endless troubles to themselves, or even Their lives are in danger, but as long as there is a chance, if there is a possibility, they will not give up."

"They are gamblers, they either win the bet or lose badly." Shen Cha smiled faintly, looked at Jin Jing, "That's right?"

Jin Jing didn't speak, looked at Shen Cha's face, knew what she was thinking, and nodded slightly.

"The general is right, they are gamblers, and they want to do business without money." Ning Cheng sighed, "It's just that they really have a big deal in their hands. If they really take this I really want to be punctured, it will implicate the whole family, and even the big clans in the south of the Yangtze River will be affected, so the Ningchang Kingdom, the patriarch and the elders are also worried, and they are a little bit cautious."

"The word "mouse-prevention" is very good, and it seems that you are indeed like this." Jin Jing nodded lightly, "Then what they want this time is money?"

"This time they don't just want money, they want more." Ning Cheng sighed, "They want to influence the life of Ningchang Kingdom."

"What is this? After all, Ningchang is not their real child. How can they control the life of Ningchang?"

"To be precise, I should want to control him in my own hands."

"Well, if they can control the Ningchang Kingdom, they will have no worries for the rest of their lives." Jin Jing sneered, "It's really a good idea, and they are quite good at calculating."

"Yes, they don't know where they heard that this group of scholars from Ningchang Kingdom may be re-appointed. Anyway, they ran all the way from Zhongzhou to Xijing City. After going to Xijing City, they didn't Tell Ningchang Kingdom, and go directly to the Ministry of Officials, wanting to find out if Ningchang Kingdom has really changed."

"They are really ignorant and fearless." Hearing this, Ying Wu couldn't help sighing, "What kind of place is the Ministry of Officials? Let these two people run wild? Are they here under the banner of Ningchang Kingdom? "

"I don't know the details. My brother didn't say anything. He just said that the officials didn't see them, and neither did Ningchang State. The state of Chang didn’t recognize them, and this incident was quite a big deal, which alarmed His Majesty the Emperor at the time. Therefore, I made a special effort to find out about the situation of Ningchang state and the couple. Because the couple went everywhere before saying Ning Changguo is his son, but his son has been in Beijing for many years, but he has never seen this couple come to visit, but Ningchangguo sends things home every now and then."

"Is it still a long time to send things?"

"This is the cleverness of the patriarch and Ningchang Kingdom themselves. After the scientific examination fraud case, they said they would worry about the possibility of something wrong with the couple, so they made a plan to send Ningchang Kingdom to Zhongzhou from time to time. Things, don’t make it too grandiose, but people around you should know more or less. If the couple has any inappropriate behavior in the future, it is to accuse him of being unfilial, and they will also have evidence to prove that they are not unfilial.”

"This is really a rainy day!"

"Isn't this couple's behavior just..." Ning Cheng raised her eyebrows, "It proves that the patriarch and Ning Changguo's guess is correct, that's what they did."

"and then?"

"At that time, His Majesty the Emperor felt that Ningchang was very pitiful. His parents probably just wanted to treat him as a cash cow or something. Otherwise, the only son cried and lived in Beijing for so many years, and he never came to visit him once. I heard that he would be granted a new award. He was an official, so he rushed here, probably because he wanted to gain fame. During that time, Ningchang Kingdom was handing over the affairs of the Imperial Academy, so he often didn't go home. His Majesty the emperor knew about it, and some people testified for him, so, Ningchang Kingdom became the most beloved object in Xijing at that time."

"It is indeed very skillful." Jin Jing curled her lips, "If I remember correctly, after he came out of the Imperial Academy, the first place he was released was a small county in the south of the Yangtze River? That small county is in the south of the Yangtze River, it should be Not particularly rich, is it?"

"Yes, because the couple said that they can't put their son in a particularly rich place, for fear that he will learn bad things, it's better to bring him back to Zhongzhou, so that with them, they can watch him and prevent him from being a corrupt official. Don't let him live up to His Majesty's cultivation and the like."

"They don't know that officials who have been sent out cannot return to their hometowns to serve?"

"Since the Ning family in Zhongzhou separated from the original family, there has never been an official. How could you know this?" Ning Cheng shook her head lightly, "However, since her parents have this request, then she has to consider it. , Therefore, the original plan to go to Chaozhou in the south of the Yangtze River turned into a small county that is not too rich. Although this dissatisfied both the Chaozhou family and the Ningchang Kingdom, it was the golden words of His Majesty the Emperor. No matter how much dissatisfaction they have, they can't resist. Ning Changguo can only pack his bags and take office after handing over the affairs of the Imperial Academy. But, fortunately, the couple were arrested in Jingzhao for disturbing the law and order of Xijing City. The prison in the Yin Mansion was locked up for half a month, and by the time they got out of the prison, Ning Chang had already left Xijing City."

"Have they parted ways since then?"

"Not at all." Ning Cheng shook her head lightly, "Ning Changguo kept in touch with that couple for the next twenty years, and it was still his old way of sending things every once in a while. Go back to Zhongzhou."

"What about the couple?" Jin Jing frowned slightly, "Are you still ignoring them like before?"

"They've learned how to behave." Ning Cheng sneered, "When they received the things, they returned some to Ningchang Kingdom, and even went to visit him in the office of Ningchang Kingdom. In the eyes of outsiders, fathers are kind and sons are filial, and they are peaceful. "
