Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 1813 Cause and Effect 12.0
"What? Became part of the Qinglian sect?"

"Don't be surprised, the general. You heard me right. It has indeed become part of the Qinglian Sect. To be more precise, not only that one shop, but all the shops that the second Miss Lu married over have become the Qinglian Sect. Yes." Mrs. Ning was a little surprised, "You haven't heard of it? You shouldn't!"

"I really haven't heard of it." Xue Ruitian was also very puzzled, looking at Shen Cha and then at the calm Shen Haolin, "We know that Ningchang Kingdom may work for the Qinglian Sect, but we haven't heard that he even contributed his family property to the Qinglian Sect. Abandoned the Qinglian sect."

"Maybe what I said is not very accurate, how should I put it?" Mrs. Ning thought for a while, "In the official records, the owner of the shop is Miss Lu Er, but the real boss behind the scenes is Qinglian Sect. At that time, Ning The government ransacked the house, all the property should be confiscated, I wonder if these shops are also included?"

"Included!" Shen Haolin nodded, "As long as it is under the name of the Ning Mansion, it is included. So, the estrangement between their brothers began at this time?"

"Ning Changguo thinks so. He thinks that Ning Changnian's initiative to start a business is a very good thing. After all, this is his plan. He never thought of letting Ning Changnian take an official career, although Ning Changnian is also a knowledgeable person. Talented, but not suitable for an official career, more suitable for business." Ning Changguo sighed softly, "Ning Changguo also spent a lot of effort to choose such a path for Ning Changnian, mainly to persuade the couple in Zhongzhou, The couple have always hoped that their own son can also become a high-ranking official, instead of becoming a businessman."

"But Ning Changnian likes it, right?"

"That's right, Ning Changnian likes it, and he supports Ning Changguo's decision." Mrs. Ning smiled helplessly, "Ning Changguo said that this is one of the few times when the two brothers agreed to fight against their parents. However, at that time, Ningchang Kingdom was already in the second rank, and in front of the Zhongzhou couple, they already had considerable majesty. Although they dared to oppose Ningchang Kingdom's decision, they would not dare Defiant."

"So, Ning Changnian still took the road of doing business. However, Ning Changguo's vision is indeed quite accurate. Ning Changnian is very talented in business." Xue Ruitian stretched his waist, and he sat A little tired, he stood up and walked slowly in the room, "Ning Changnian wanted his sister-in-law's dowry shop, but Ning Changguo didn't agree because that was already working for the Qinglian Sect. But Ningchangguo couldn't say it clearly, I can only give Ning Changnian the capital and let him open a new one, right? But the original plan of Ning Chang Kingdom was not to cultivate a capable assistant for himself? This assistant will definitely not be an assistant in the court , it must be his helper in the Qinglian Sect. Since the dowry of the second Miss Lu has already served for the Qinglian Sect, then there is no problem in letting him take over the shop directly, why bother?"

"Because there is an investigation." Mrs. Ning sighed softly, "I don't know whether it is the Ningchang Kingdom or the Qinglian Sect who wants to investigate. Besides, Ning Changnian had never been in contact with the Qinglian Sect. No one knows whether he will be loyal to the Qinglian Sect, so you have to observe and train him to become your assistant little by little."

"Well, this reason is quite acceptable." Shen Cha nodded, "So, the brothers gradually became open and honest, right?"

"That's what Ning Changguo said, and he didn't say anything very specific. I know that he is related to the Qinglian Sect besides the affairs of the court. After all, the Ning family itself is related to the Qinglian Sect. On this point, he Not really hiding it from me. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Ever since Ning Changnian participated in the affairs of the Qinglian Sect, he began to feel uneasy. He didn't know where this uneasiness came from, but he just found it strange. After Ning Changnian came into contact with the Qinglian Sect , and his temper gradually began to grow, although Ning Changguo is his elder brother, he would occasionally quarrel with his elder brother, and the conflicts between the two brothers became more and more."

"Is this contradiction related to Qinglian Sect?"

"Well!" Mrs. Ning nodded, "He didn't say anything very specific, that is, two people will always disagree on a certain task, but most of the time, Ning Chang's ideas are often recognized. Opinions are not accepted, once or twice is no problem, Ning Changnian may feel that he is inexperienced or something, but if there are too many times, he will feel dissatisfied, not only dissatisfied with Ningchang Kingdom, but also with Qinglian I feel dissatisfied with the church because they don’t believe in him enough, don’t believe in his loyalty, and don’t believe in his decisions.”

"It seems that this should be the main reason for the report. You don't want me to be comfortable, and I won't let you live well. After all, the Qinglian Sect is the emperor's rebel, and the emperors of the four dynasties absolutely cannot tolerate the Qinglian Sect. Yes, once he finds the kind that will never be tolerated, so in order to make Ningchang Kingdom and Qinglian Sect suffer, he ran to report it." At this point, Xue Ruitian stood behind Shen Haolin, holding his shoulders, "But, it's not quite right. At that time, Ningchang Kingdom had already been imprisoned. What he did would add fuel to the fire, right? It would only put Ning Mansion in a more dangerous situation, wouldn't it?"

"I don't know about that." Mrs. Ning shook her head lightly, "I only know that when Ning Changguo came to see me, I felt something was wrong with Ning Changnian. Human shadow, he didn't know what he was doing, and his sense of unease became even stronger. I don't know if his intuition was particularly accurate, or whether Ning Changnian had already planned to report on him since then. Anyway, after more than two years, Ningchang Kingdom’s Dongchuang incident happened, and the Ning Mansion has completely fallen.” At this point, she thought for a while, “Perhaps there is more evidence in the box left for you.”

"Is that all the old lady knows?"

"What I know, I've already told you. I really can't do anything about Ningchang Kingdom and Qinglian Sect. I'm here to fulfill Xiao Chengzi's wish. We will soon see the Ning clan in Chaozhou fall."

"On this point, the old lady can rest assured that they will not be able to get away with the case of Ning Chang's status, not to mention the case of sister Ning Cheng, they will not be able to escape at all."

"Then thank you in advance!" Mrs. Ning stood up and bowed to the three people. Seeing that they were in a hurry to help her, she waved her hand gently, "No need to help me, I'm not old enough to need others The degree of support."

"Old lady, please sit down!"

"I've finished what I should say. Do you have any other questions?"

"There is one last question." Shen Cha thought for a while, "It has nothing to do with the Ning family or the Ningchang country, it's about your cargo ship."

"Please tell me, General."

"The Qinglian Sect ships goods through your cargo ship, and the dock of Ning's family is their destination. So, where is the starting point?"
