Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 12 Chances of Getting Rich

Because it was a side hall and it was noon, when Su Jingning arrived, there was only one middle-aged man standing quietly in the hall.

The man turned around when he heard the noise, and after seeing the person clearly, he took two quick steps and bowed down in front of Su Jingning.

"Miss Biao, forgive me, Mu Hai is late."

"Uncle Hai, please get up." Su Jingning hurriedly gave her a hand, "It's not easy for you to be able to come because of everything, so don't be so alien to Jingning."

This person is Mu Hai, the right-hand man in charge of his uncle. When his grandfather became an official, the Mu family returned to their hometown in Taixing Mansion, but because the house in the capital was not sold, Mu Hai was left here to take care of trivial matters.

Mu Hai got up when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "A letter from my hometown a few days ago said that Miss Biao had returned to the capital. The servant was looking for a chance to visit, but I received the letter from Miss Biao first."

Su Jingning nodded slightly. She sent Nianyu home a few days ago to let her secretly contact Mu Hai to ask him to come to Xiangguo Temple to meet today.

It is now the 22nd year of Wensi. When the corruption case broke out in the early 24th year of Wensi, my uncle was ordered to investigate the case, but he was reported to be collaborating with the enemy and treason.

She wanted to restore the tragedy of her previous life, so she naturally had to plan ahead and make arrangements as soon as possible.

But being trapped in a boudoir is really inconvenient, and there is no one available around her, so Su Jingning thought of Mu Hai, who the Mu family stayed in the capital.But would he listen to a little girl?

She looked at Mu Hai who was quietly waiting for her to speak, and couldn't help but hesitate.

Mu Hai seemed to see her hesitation, and smiled directly: "The old lady said in the letter that Miss Biao just returned to Su's house and she might need someone to help her, so she asked the servants to take care of her more, so if you have something to do, just give orders and don't need to see outsiders. "

Su Jingning's heart felt hot when she heard the words, and the loving face of her grandmother appeared in her mind.

No matter how far away, there are always people who are always caring about her!

She suppressed the thoughts in her heart and thanked Mu Hai: "Then thank you Uncle Hai, Jing Ning really needs your help."

She rationalized her thoughts and said: "You also know that the Seventh Prince is very favored now. Cheng'an has such a younger brother as a backer and the support of the Bo family. He has been secretly suppressing the Mu family. Uncle and the others are in a difficult situation. So this is the first time One thing is to ask you to pay more attention to their movements, in case something happens, you can deal with it as soon as possible."

Mu Hai immediately said solemnly after hearing the words: "Miss Biao, don't worry, the servant will definitely keep an eye on it."

Su Jingning nodded and said: "The second thing is to ask you to keep an eye on one more person."

As she spoke, she looked at Mu Hai and spit out a name: "Han Hui."

"Master Han?" Mu Hai showed surprise, "Why are you still staring at him?"

Han Hui is Su Jingning's great-grandfather's proud eldest disciple, now the official residence of the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, talented, humble and polite, has always had a good reputation, even if the Mu family fell, he did not deliberately alienate him, and still walked around as usual.

Su Jingning looked at Mu Hai who was puzzled, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.It's no wonder he reacted like this, who would have thought that such a "good guy" would betray the Mu family!

Because they trusted him too much, the Mu family never set up defenses against him. As a result, he failed his grandfather and uncle's heart and secretly took refuge in the Seventh Prince. evidence...

But it was obvious that she couldn't talk to Mu Hai like this, so she made up a nonsense reason as soon as she thought about it.

"Someone has seen Mr. Han and Bo Hao walking together."

Bo Hao is the uncle of Cheng An and the Seventh Prince, it must be abnormal for them to walk together.

"What?" Mu Hai was really shocked when he heard it, and he took a while to recover and asked: "Is Miss Biao's news accurate? This is really a matter of great importance..."

"Uncle Hai, Jing Ning is not sure whether the news is true or not, but it is precisely because of this that you have to keep an eye on Mr. Han."

Su Jingning interrupted Mu Haidao: "If it's true, we can take precautions in advance. If it's false, we can also find out what the intentions of the people who spread the news are."

After hearing the words, Mu Hai was silent for a while before responding with a low expression.

Su Jingning couldn't help seeing him like this. The betrayal of someone close to her was indeed unacceptable, but if she didn't make arrangements in advance, it would be more than that.

The atmosphere was too heavy, so she changed the subject: "Today, when Jing Ning went out, officers and soldiers ransacked her house. I don't know which family's adults committed the crime?"

"The slave came late today because he was delayed by this matter." Mu Hai also cheered up when he heard the words, "Today's court meeting, some people participated in the construction of the embankment led by the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, Lin Zhiye, who cut corners and filled their own pockets, which caused floods this summer. The Huaihe River broke its embankment, and nearly [-] people were displaced."

He paused for a moment before continuing: "Because of the solid evidence, Lin Zhiye was sent to prison directly, and he sentenced all the men of the Lin family to be executed ten days later, and all the female family members were to be official prostitutes!"

Su Jingning couldn't help being silent, unable to speak for a long time.

Mu Hai also sighed: "It's because the prince begged for mercy and didn't implicate others. It's just pity for those naive children of the Lin family..."

Su Jingning said quietly: "What's the use of being pitiful? Who is going to pity those suffering people? Since you have done evil, you must have the courage to bear the consequences."

As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and asked again: "Does the imperial court have any countermeasures to deal with the flood?"

Mu Hai shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

Su Jingning looked at Mu Hai with bright eyes when she heard the words: "Uncle Hai, I'm afraid Jingning still has something to ask."

Mu Haidao: "Miss Biao, please tell me."

Su Jingning said: "Please help Jingning buy some fields." Then she explained the specific location to Mu Hai carefully.

After hearing this, Mu Hai asked in amazement: "As far as I know, this place is a dry land with very little grain output, and belongs to the lower-grade fields. If Miss Biao wants to buy land, why not find some good fields?"

Su Jingning smiled shyly, and said, "To tell you the truth, Uncle Hai, Jingning wanted to buy some private property, but she was short of money, so she had to choose this place."

Mu Hai nodded clearly: "Since that's the case, the servant will help you immediately."

Su Jingning was overjoyed: "Then thank you Uncle Hai."

After Mu Hai left, Su Jingning couldn't help showing a big smile on her face.

Soon after, Prince Rui's son, Shen Lingze, will suggest that Emperor Wensi dredge the ancient river again, connect the Huaihe River with the Lingjiang River, and relieve the pressure of the Huaihe River's flooding.Emperor Wen Si strongly agreed, and ordered the Ministry of Industry to do so.

And the land she asked Mu Hai to buy happened to be near the ancient river channel. After the river channel was dredged and irrigated by the river water, those low-grade poor fields would immediately turn into high-quality good fields, and the value would double.

Thinking of this, Su Jingning couldn't help but thank Wang's mother and daughter from the bottom of her heart.

Su Jingning was not in the capital when the accident happened to the Lin family in the previous life, but because her uncle was the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, she later heard the matter from Wang's mother and daughter. The impression was so deep that she remembered it in her heart, but she didn't expect to get a big deal right now.

Of course, I would like to thank the heir son of Prince Rui who made the suggestion. Not only did it benefit her, but it was also a great thing that benefited the people.

Su Jingning didn't stay any longer after finishing her work, and took the girl back to the guest courtyard, where Su Jingyan was sitting and resting.

Everyone tidied up and went back home.

When Su Jingning arrived at Songhua Hall, she just lifted the curtain to enter when she heard Su Jingrou's slightly trembling voice.

"The young ladies of the Lin family are still joking with us. Who would have thought that suddenly officers and soldiers would come and take them away, scaring everyone to death..."
