Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 283 Knocked out, tied back (three more)

Gucuo seemed dissatisfied with Ji Wuyan's playful smile, his voice was slightly lowered, and his face was serious, "Girl... this is not a joke."

"I know." Ji Wuyan's smile didn't disappear, but he was a little more serious, "I know what you said are very realistic issues. My mother married into an official family, and my grandmother lost an heir, so even after all these years My spirit has almost receded, but I am proud that I still don't want to associate with my grandfather."

"If I marry into Ningguo's mansion and live in Yanjing City for a long time, my grandmother has not been angry with me for so many years, nor has she cultivated another heir for so many years. The ancient house... I understand all of this." She leaned on the back of the chair, Looking up at the sky, he smiled faintly, "Although these things seem a little far away to me, since you mentioned it, I will also share my thoughts. The Ji family is my responsibility. I have always known this. I never thought of shirking. They raised me, taught me, protected me, and pampered me. If it really came to the point where they had to choose, they would always be on the other side. But... Gucuo, you How can you know that there is no way to have both in the world?"

Ji Wuyan supported the armrests with both hands, jumped onto the big carved chair, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then turned his head and smiled brightly at him, "Ancient house. I'm used to being bully. If I like it, I like it, no matter if it is some or a lot, I will not take it back. Xiaoyi, I want it, and he, Ning Xiuyuan, I want it too. Even if I still can't get the best of both worlds in the end, then... I will be knocked out Take him and tie him to Yunzhou!"

Under the moonlight, the girl is bright and charming, and she is still frank when she talks about tying a man.

Like, she told herself "I like him a little bit" so directly and naturally.

This girl, if you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, and you have never been ambiguous.

That smile was too dazzling, Gu Cuo withdrew his gaze, frowned and chuckled, "That's true... If you can't knock him out, I'll help you."

"Success." Ji Wuyan grinned, squatted down and jumped off the ground, "It's getting late, go to bed earlier, what will happen in the city tomorrow..."

Gu Cuo got up to see her off, sent her to the gate of the courtyard, and said suddenly, "After this matter is over, I will go back to Jiangnan. If you have anything you want me to bring back, prepare it."

The news came in a hurry, Ji Wuyan was a little surprised, "What's the matter? What happened to the Gu family? Or are your uncles making trouble?"

"No. It's just that there are some things that need to be dealt with personally." His eyebrows and eyes were as usual, and he couldn't see the slightest clue.

Ji Wuyan stared at him for a while, then sighed, "Sometimes I think your face is really hateful, it really makes people can't tell the truth from the lies..."

Somewhat childish complaints.Gu Cuo lightly smiled and patted her on the top of the head, and immediately left, "I will never lie to you. It's not like you don't know, but now you are deliberately complaining."

"It's not that you have no lies to me." Ji Wuyan looked directly at him, "You have always reported good things to me but not bad things about yourself. Gucuo... If you don't tell me, I won't Ask more, but if you need any help, you must ask. Although the Ji family is not as deep as the Gu family, but... the Ji family is rich! Money can turn ghosts, you know?"

Gu Cuo shook his head and laughed, "Got it, let's go." He watched her leave, then lowered his head, looked at the one foot square in front of his toes, the corners of his mouth drooped slowly, and his eyes were dark like death.

If she likes it, it would be so straightforward... But, silly girl, if she wanted to be tied up, she would have to be tied back, so it's not just as simple as some likes?
He turned back and walked to the chair where Ji Wuyan was sitting just now, leaned against the back of the chair, and closed his eyes on his back.

……

Tonight, half of the people in Yanjing City are doomed to sleepless.

Some people are happy, some are worried, and there are still a group of people, chirping and thinking about how to fish in troubled waters.

The news of Ning Xiuyuan's disappearance exploded in the imperial study, and the ministers who were summoned by the verbal orders were ants on the hot pot.

In recent years, if anyone is to be said to be the hottest upstart in the imperial court, it must be Third Master Ning of Ningguo Duke's Mansion.

Ning Sanye disappeared, His Majesty was furious, and the Ningguo government was also furious. Those who wanted to show their favor to Ningguo government were more and more attacking the workers, and those literati and students even regarded "Ning Sanye" as their spiritual god. I can't wait to hang up his portrait, burn incense three times a day, and only ask him to bless me with a spring of literature and thought or the number one scholar in high school.

"Your Majesty. It is clearly written in the secret report that the minister of the Ministry of Industry pushed Mr. Ning into the water. There are all witnesses and material evidence. Please punish him severely."

"Your Majesty, the imperial court allocates funds every year. Yingzhou bursts its dikes every year, and the people are in dire straits. It is hard to imagine how much money the Ministry of Industry has embezzled from it. Please also ask Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly."

"Please His Majesty thoroughly investigate and punish severely."

The night is deep.

The imperial study room was brightly lit, and the two rows of guards with knives outside the door stood still, and the cold light of the unsheathed sword seemed to herald the bloody ending of today.The emperor kept a straight face, and looked at Bai Qiyun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry who was kneeling in the dark, "Bai Qing, Guo Wen'an, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, is your man, what can you say?"

Bai Qiyun kowtowed slowly and prostrated himself on the ground, "Return to Your Majesty, I have overlooked this matter. Your Majesty please punish me."

"Neglect? Just a crime of negligence?!" The emperor was so angry that he swiped the teacup in his hand and threw it over, "What a crime of negligence! Even if it is negligence, my subordinates can't manage it well. I'll see... ...You don't need to wear your black hat anymore!"

The teacup fell against his ear, and the shattered tiles bounced off his ears and flew out.

The hot tea splashed on that half of his face, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was the cut wound that hurt, or the burn that hurt more.He just knelt down, didn't intercede, didn't justify.

In the entire imperial study room, only the sound of the emperor's heavy breathing due to anger was left.

But there was a chuckle, "Your Majesty... If you say that Lord Bai knew about this matter, you don't believe the truth. As we all know, Lord Bai's precious son and our Lord Ning wear the same trousers. If you want to say that Lord Bai Intending to murder Mrs. Ning... the baby in this family is not allowed..." After finishing speaking, he smiled again, quite carelessly as if he was staying out of the matter.

The man was tall and tall, and his figure was also stalwart. He was wearing a court uniform, and he looked quite like a warrior.

It's just gray hair, obviously getting old.

A pair of eyes are not big, when he smiles, he squints his eyes, half of his eyes are hidden, like a Maitreya Buddha, but when he is not smiling, there is a flash of light in his eyes.

Obviously not to be trifled with.

This is the left side of the court.
