Chapter 78 078. Tranquility is Dead (Part [-])
After a few tricks to get rid of the two snatchers, Ning Jing hugged Zheng'er and took a long way to avoid people. After going down the mountain, he hurried through several alleys and returned to his and Su Liang's home in Pingbei City through the back door.

As soon as Zheng'er was put on the ground, he ran forward on short legs, and Ning Jing followed behind with a basket.

"Aunt! Aunt!"

Hearing Zheng'er's voice, Su Liang came out of the kitchen, leaned over with a chuckle, picked him up, rubbed his little head, "It's just in time to come back." She was almost ready for lunch.

Su Liang asked Ning Jing to take Zheng'er away first, and she went to finish the meal.As a result, Zheng'er stayed in the basket for too long, and got angry with Ning Jing, unwilling to let him hug her.

"What happened?" Su Liang noticed a small red spot on Ping Jing's coat, which seemed to be blood.

Ning Jing put the sign received from Qianshan Academy on the table in the courtyard, and went to the kitchen to light the fire.

"I met a lot of people today." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang held Zheng'er in one hand, and stirred the soup in the pot with the other, "Did the child snatcher stop you halfway? Or did Ning Yao send someone to wait in the academy to invite you to 'go home'?"

Previously, Ning Jing was deliberately hidden in a low-key manner, just to be able to live a peaceful life for a few days.

Su Liang knew very well that once he showed up in public, trouble would soon come to him.

Ning Yao tried several times to get rid of Ning Jing, but ended in failure.But it is impossible for him to endure peace and continue to take the imperial examination without incident, let alone see him stand out.

Therefore, if you give up killing him, you will never give up, it will only get worse.

In addition, the rich merchant Xiao's family in Pingbei City is the Li family's in-laws.Mrs. Xiao is the sister of Li Sanye's biological sister, and also his accomplice in robbing the Wan family's young master.

When he entered the city, he found that the guards had been bribed and were waiting for Ning Jing to arrive, and the Xiao family was probably behind him.That Mrs. Xiao knew that Ning Jing would show up at Qianshan Academy today, so she wouldn't just do nothing.

"Both." Ning Ping affirmed the two possibilities Su Liang guessed, "There are also people arranged by Yan Yu. She has prepared a house for you."

Su Liang was a little surprised, "I knew we wouldn't buy the house. But since we bought it, we won't bother her for the time being."

"Yonglong Embroidery Village. I said you would go tomorrow." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's fine. Maybe this place will be exposed soon, and I have to change places to live. Tomorrow you go to the exam, and I'll go to the embroidery village to say hello."

The owner of this house registered with the government is Su Liang, and a pseudonym cannot be used.

And this name, "people with a heart" will naturally find out.

But Su Liang just felt that there would be troubles, not afraid.Therefore, there is no plan to move to the place Yan Yu arranged for them now.

The meal was ready, Su Liang fed Zheng'er, and asked him what he saw when he went out today.

Zheng'er said, "Uncle Ning...Brother Jing!"

Su Liang raised her eyebrows and looked at Ning Jing, "Someone called you Brother Jing?"

It will be called that, either a child, or a girl's family.

Before Ning Jing could explain, Su Liang was thoughtful, "Could it be that Ning Yao sent a woman to say that she is your old friend?"

Zheng'er said again, "Senior brother Ning!" He heard it all while hiding in his backpack.

Su Liang was puzzled, who would call Ning Jing a senior?
Ning Jing looked calm, "Ning Yao sent someone to kneel at the gate of the academy, saying that Patriarch Ning is critically ill and wants to see me for the last time."

Su Liang snorted softly, "Moral kidnapping is intended to force you to give up scientific research and cut off your future."

This kind of method is not insidious and vicious, and it is quite irritating.If you are not careful, you will fall into a trap.

"I said Patriarch Ning sent a letter telling him that he was in good health and reminded me to be careful of Ning Yao." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang nodded, "They say that a certain person is critically ill, but they can't provide evidence. Of course you can say that you know that a certain person is fine. Anyway, the person is not dead, so he will not appear here. By the way, who calls you Senior Brother Ning?"

Ning Jing's thin lips parted lightly, "Junior Sister Ning Jing."

Su Liang blinked.

Are you talking about something frankly with her?

Su Liang knew that the person in front of him was not the real seventh son of the Ning family in Xunyang, but the wanted rebel Gu Shizi in disguise.

Although I don't know how he pretended to be peaceful so that he would not be discovered.

As for this matter, the two have always been tacit, but they have not talked about it.

"Tingping is dead." Tranquility was straightforward.

Su Liang was not surprised to hear the words, but still felt strange, "I would like to hear the details."

"He used to trust Ning Yao the most, but he was framed by him. His mother died of illness, his father was unkind, and his brothers and sisters were all hypocritical and double-faced. They all wanted to put him to death. He was poisoned by an unsolvable poison, frustrated, I chose to kill myself, and I would rather die if I don't want to be born again." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang sighed.

"A chance meeting five years ago, I saved Ningping. When we parted, he said that he would repay me and go to the capital to find me to play chess. He was determined to die, but he didn't want to die at Ning's house. He wanted to find me, but he couldn't find me. So I found Nian Jincheng. At that time, something happened to the Gu family, and people were chasing and killing me everywhere. Ning Jing paid a lot of money to hire a man from the rivers and lakes to cut off his face to make a mask for Nian after he died. Jincheng, please pass Nian Jincheng to me."

Su Liang looked at Ning Jing's face in astonishment.She thought he knew the disguise technique, but she didn't expect that he was wearing a human skin mask? !

"There is another letter. He bid farewell to me in the letter and wrote many unfulfilled wishes." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang blurted out, "It's his wish to take the imperial examination, not yours."

Ning Jing nodded slightly, "He is an unknown disciple of Lin Shuzhi, the principal of Qianshan Academy. He wants to follow Lin Shuzhi's example and prove himself by winning the first prize in the exam, but instead of being an official, he wants to travel around the world."

But the dream when he was young was eventually destroyed by the cruel reality and nothing remained.

And when Nian Jincheng found Sujia Village that time, he knew very well that Tranquility was a fake before he went there.Because of this matter, he is a direct participant.But there were other people watching secretly at that time, if he didn't go, someone else would go, and there would be real trouble.

"Won't that Jianghu man who made the human leather mask betray you?" Su Liang asked.

Ning Jing shook his head, "That man's tricks are evil, Ning Jing told Nian Jincheng, and killed him afterwards. No one else knows except you and me, Nian Jincheng and Uncle Liang."

"Uncle Liang..." Su Liang almost forgot about the old man who looked at her so badly.

"You can trust it." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang asked again, "Did Ning Jing ask you to fulfill his wish in his suicide note?"

Ning Jing shook his head, "He wanted to die at the time, and when he learned that something happened to the Gu family, he just wanted to give me his identity to repay his kindness. He wrote many things in the letter, but he didn't ask me to do anything. Before I met Xing Yusheng, I didn't I thought about going to the imperial examination for him. He also said in the letter that he planned to propose a marriage to the girl after she passed the exam, and she would never see her again."

Su Liang was thoughtful, "Lin Shuzhi's disciple... Zhenger said that someone called you Brother Ning, is it Lin Shuzhi's daughter? Is that the sweetheart mentioned in Ning Jing's suicide note?"

Ning Jing nodded and shook his head again, "He didn't say it clearly, maybe it was."

"You met Miss Lin and Lin Shuzhi in the academy today, didn't they notice that you have changed?" Su Liang asked.

"It's normal if it's changed." Ning Jing said.

"That's right." Su Liang nodded, "It seems that you have passed the test. Ning Jing has a spirit in the sky, and he should be happy to see you help him achieve his wish, win the first prize in the exam, anger the scum of the Ning family to death, and then disappear, leaving the world alone I thought that the seventh son of the Ning family in Xunyang has traveled the world in style. But what if Miss Lin wants to marry you?"

Ning Jing shook his head, "Although Lin Shuzhi cares about Ning Jing, he doesn't want his only daughter to be with Ning Jing."

"Parents' heart." Su Liang expressed understanding, "You are a fake Ning An, and you are in trouble all the time. How can you rest assured if you marry your daughter? When we meet today, do you think Miss Lin likes Ning Ning?"

Ning Jing shook his head again, "I don't know."

"Then you stay away from others, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding." Su Liang said seriously.

If you restore your original identity, it doesn't matter if you want to pursue anyone.But using a false identity was a misunderstanding from the very beginning, and it's best not to have any emotional entanglements.

But Su Liang felt that he was talking nonsense, and that kind of gossip couldn't happen to someone.

Zheng'er seemed dissatisfied with Su Liang and Ning Jing who only talked and ignored him, waving his small hands, calling him "Auntie" and "Uncle Ning".

Ning Jing reached out to hug Zheng'er, but he turned around and hugged Su Liang, expressing that he was still angry and refused to hug him!

"Now you don't have to worry that Zheng'er will stick with you to take the exam tomorrow." Su Liang said, "If Chengyun is reliable, Zheng'er's mother should be here soon."

……

Qianshan Academy.

After Ning Jing left, the six members of the Ning family kept saying that their patriarch was really in critical condition, and that the eldest son Ning Yao had absolutely no intention of harming Ning Jing.

The former cannot be verified.

As for the latter, the spectators will weigh it in their hearts.

Ning Jing, as the only heir of the Ning family, made a mistake and was expelled from the family. Ning Yao, the eldest son of the concubine, took power.

In addition, in terms of blood, Ning Yao is not considered a descendant of the Ning family at all. The only legitimate heir of the Ning family is Ning Jing. Who would believe that Ning Yao has no intention of harming Ning Jing?
Moreover, although filial piety is great, scholars know best the hardships of the imperial examination.Ning Jing will take the provincial examination tomorrow, and if he passes the examination, he will be able to raise people and honor his ancestors.Why did the Ning family show up today, forcing him to go home immediately?

Thinking in another way, in fact, many scholars would not say it out loud. What they think in their hearts is that even if their parents are critically ill at this time, they will hide it from them, at least wait until the exam is over.

This is "Parents love their sons, and they have far-reaching plans for them."

To put it bluntly, since Patriarch Ning is going to die soon, what difference does it make if he sees Ning Jing or not?Could it be that they want Ning Ping to go back and inherit the family business?Then why kick him out in the first place?
Although the rumors say that Ningping made a big mistake, the evidence is convincing, but what happened inside the big family, they don't say it themselves, who knows whether the tribute tea is made by Ningning or Ningyao?
If peace was really so important to Patriarch Ning, he would not have been the one who was convicted and expelled back then!

No matter how miserable the people sent by the Ning family are, it's useless, because they are all scholars who have studied for many years, and there are only a few people who will believe them after calming down.

The Ning family proposed to see Lin Shuzhi, the dean of the academy, and asked him to help persuade Ning Jing to go home.

Lin Shuzhi didn't let them in, but sent someone to tell them to wait outside the gate of the academy.

As a result, when the six people waited until Lin Shuzhi showed up, the officers and soldiers also arrived.

The imperial examination is a major event that every local government attaches great importance to. As soon as Lin Shuzhi sent someone to report that some outsiders came to Qianshan Academy to make trouble and pester the students, they immediately sent someone to come.

Lin Shuzhi said sternly to the official who came, "These are the six people who claim to be from Xunyang Ning's family. Lin doesn't know their true identities, nor what they are doing. This is a clean place in the academy, and tomorrow is the period for the provincial examination. They came to make trouble today, but they refused to drive them away. Lin suspects that they intend to disturb the mind of the students and achieve an ulterior purpose. Please deal with it seriously, my lord."

The Ning family was dumbfounded and hurriedly explained.

Naturally, the officers and soldiers would not listen, they were quickly arrested and taken away, and they promised Lin Shuzhi that they would be punished severely.

"Father, you forgot to give Brother Ning the pen." Lin Xueqing reminded Lin Shuzhi.

Lin Shuzhi shook his head, "Let's talk about it in three days."

"What if he disappears after the exam?" Lin Xueqing asked.

"Find me a rope." Lin Shuzhi said.

Lin Xueqing was stunned, "Ah? Why are you looking for a rope?"

"At that time, I will be guarding at the entrance of the examination institute. As soon as he comes out, I will tie him up and bring him back. Are you satisfied?" Lin Shuzhi snorted softly.

Lin Xueqing chuckled, "Okay, okay! A gentleman is hard to follow, so I'll go find a rope for dad!"

Seeing that Lin Xueqing was about to run away, Lin Shuzhi stopped her again, "Stop making trouble. It's good to know that he's fine. For the rest, let him go."

Lin Xueqing disagreed, "But after the provincial examination, if Senior Brother Ning doesn't go to the capital, it would be great to live in the academy. Maybe he just doesn't want to cause us any trouble, so Dad really doesn't want to look for him, seeing that he is alone?"

Lin Shuzhi sighed, "Forget it, I can't tell you. Let's find a rope."
