Chapter 587 Ning Wannian

Fourteen and Zuoqiu Yue spent two years basically reorganizing Henan Province and Duji Province.The two of them don't have to sit in the town in person like they did in the previous two years, it's enough to stay at home and strategize.When they must be present, it is never too late.

The [-]th plan for the confrontation exercise of the two weeks' garrison is scheduled for late March or early April, and they are currently writing plans at their desks.

"Mother, mother..." Xiao Mo crawled along the thick wool carpet to Fourteen's side, trying to grab her leg and stand up, "Mother..."

"Mother is busy, looking for your father to play." Fourteen reached out to pat the little guy, keeping his eyes on the table, "Zuoqiu Yue."

Zuo Qiuyue put down what she was doing and came over, bent down and picked up Xiao Mo: "Ah, good boy, come and play with Daddy, I will hug you when Mother is done."

"Daddy." The little guy was very obedient and easy to coax, he didn't resist after being hugged by Zuoqiu Yue, instead he hugged his neck and kissed him.

There were two long desks facing each other in the room, Sisi and Zuoqiu Yue sat face to face when dealing with official business.The whole interior is covered with a wool carpet, which is convenient for Xiao Mo to climb on.

This child was brought up by the couple themselves, feeding, sleeping and dressing are all done by themselves.None of the wet nurses prepared at the beginning could be used, and ordinary maids rarely had the opportunity to get in touch with her.

She often sat on her father's lap and listened to him discuss business with two officials, and often fell asleep listening to it.The mother will cheer and applaud excitedly when watching military exercises in the barracks and soldiers competing in martial arts.

There will be a lot of people coming home for the Chinese New Year, it's very lively, and she likes it very much.But now that everyone is gone, when her father and mother are busy, she is a bit bored.

Zuo Qiuyue didn't care about her career, so she put it down and concentrated on playing with her daughter.He picked up two puppets and performed a puppet show for his daughter.

"This is Daddy, this is Mother, when Daddy met a bad guy, it was Mother who saved Daddy..."

Shisiyu looked up while he was busy, and it happened that the sunlight came in through the window, reflecting two shadows, one big and one small, on the carpet.The two of them had a great time, Shisi smiled silently, and then immersed himself in work again.

After half an hour, she put down the pen, raised her arms and stretched her body.

"Fell asleep?"

Zuo Qiuyue picked up the little guy from the carpet and put him on her little bed.After tucking in the quilt, he leaned over and kissed her again, before turning around to look for Fourteen.

"I'm tired from playing, and I'm asleep." He sat next to Shisi, and leaned over while talking.

After a soft and long kiss, Fourteen removed the seat and lay down directly on the floor, pillowing Zuo Qiuyue's thigh.

"Who are you going to send to build the port?" Fourteen asked, "Have you chosen someone?"

"Wang You." Zuoqiu Yue said.

"Wang You." Fourteen thought for a moment, "At present, there is indeed no more suitable candidate than him."

"The governor of Dengzhou came from a family. If you want him to cooperate well, you must not only have the ability, but also have a family background that can hold him down. Wang You has both family background and talent, and he is your cousin. It is just right to send him. .”

"Building a port is not a one-time effort, let Fang Sanniang bring a pair of children to accompany him." Zuoqiu Yue said.

Fourteen nodded in agreement.He said again: "But Wang You is not good at building fortifications, and he needs an expert to assist him."

"Master Meng has already recommended this candidate to me."

"Who?"

"Ning Wannian." Zuo Qiuyue said a name, "Many large embankments and bridges in Henan Road were built by him, and he is a useful talent."

"Okay, the two of them are enough." Fourteen said, "This Ning Wannian, let him take his wife and children to take office."

……

In the morning, Fourteen and Zuo Qiuyue had just finished discussing Ning Wannian.In the afternoon, news came from Meng Changhuai——Ning Wannian was fired and sent to prison for murdering his wife.

Fourteen stared at the paperwork sent by Meng Changhuai, and was stunned.

All the files during the trial process were handed over at the same time. Unwilling to be reconciled, Shisi opened them up and examined them carefully one by one.

According to the file, in the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the yamen received a complaint, accusing Ning Wannian of killing his wife.The plaintiff carried Mrs. Ning's body, with the dagger that killed her stuck in her abdomen, followed by two crying young men and women, saying that she saw Ning Wannian kill someone with her own eyes.With all the witnesses and material evidence, the yamen should send people to put Ning Wannian in jail.

The person who filed the complaint was Ning Wannian's father-in-law, and the two witnesses were his biological children.

In the courtroom, Ning Wannian didn't make a judgment for himself, and pleaded guilty very quickly.Therefore, he was sentenced to dismissal and asked to be executed after autumn.

"Strange." Fourteen looked at the file and fell into deep thought.

"What's so strange?" Zuoqiu Yue asked.

"Look here." Fourteen pointed to an inconspicuous sentence on the file, which described the process of arresting Ning Wannian, "When the yamen servants went to arrest people, Ning Wannian just woke up from a hangover."

"It's normal to be drunk on New Year's Eve." Zuo Qiuyue was puzzled, "What do you think is suspicious?"

"Look at this again." Fourteen handed Ning Wannian's confession to him.

Zuo Qiuyue read it carefully, and then glanced at the sentence that Shisi just pointed out, and quickly resonated with her.

At first glance, Ning Wannian's confession did not have any problems, and he confessed to the crime.However, after careful analysis, it will be noticed that there is no process of killing him. To be precise, he himself did not fully describe the process of killing, but only accepted the statement of the official.

"But if it wasn't him, why would he admit it?" This is another doubtful point, "And his children, why would they falsely accuse their biological father?"

Fourteen shook his head: "I don't know. But I always feel something strange, but I can't say it for a while."

"Then let someone check it again." Zuo Qiuyue put down the file, "Let Lord Meng go and check it himself."

"I'll write to him." Fourteen picked up the pen, spread out the paper and started writing.

Zuo Qiuyue was watching what she wrote, telling Meng Changhuai not to startle the snake, and not let people notice that he was looking into Ning Wannian's case on the surface, and then secretly sent someone to pay attention to Ning Wannian's father-in-law's family and his two children. trend.

The letter was quickly written and handed over to Yin Zhu to send it out.

Unexpectedly, Yinzhu brought a new message: "Princess, Young Master Mei is here."

"Mei Xingzhi?" Fourteen wondered, "Why is he here at this time?"

"It seems that they came to look for Miss Mei." Yin Zhu said, "I also asked to see the princess."

"Where are the people?"

"downstairs."

Fourteen got up and looked at Xiao Mo who was sitting in Zuoqiu Yue's arms: "Ah Feng, how about going to see an uncle with mother?"

Both Xiao Momanyue and Zhou Suimei Xingzhi asked someone to give them gifts, but it was their first time here.

"He is Zhixue's elder brother, he is the same generation as Ah Yan in terms of seniority, you let Ah Jian call him uncle?"

Fourteen One slapped his forehead: "I forgot."

She and Mei Xingzhi got along as friends from the beginning, even though Mei Zhixue called her aunt from the beginning, she and Mei Xingzhi were considered equals.Later, Mei Zhixue and Xiao Yan got engaged, and they didn't change it on purpose.

"Then... called brother?"

"if not?"

"It's a bit awkward." Fourteen couldn't help laughing.

"That can't be helped." Zuo Qiuyue said, "Seniority must always be discussed."

"Okay then, let's call you brother." After putting on his shoes, Fourteen stretched out his hand to Zuo Qiuyue to beg Xiao Mo.

He didn't give it to him.

Fourteen looked at him suspiciously.

"Let me hug you." He said.

"Are you going too?"
