Chapter 11 Accident in Beijing

After recovering for several days, Jinning finally lived a peaceful life.

After hearing Haitang said that Changsun was scolded and the mansion also rectified. The original maid from the Lihuayuan was driven out. The housekeeper bought three maids from the man and took them to the Lihuayuan.

The housekeeper gave a little gift and said coldly: "Miss Three, these three people have been bought from outside the mansion. They have never taught the rules. So I will work harder for Miss Three to teach them the rules in the mansion."

The butler said this to him simply to tell Jin Ning that these three people were not sent by his wife.

Jinning looked at the three people. Two of them were indeed raw, but she had seen the girl wearing coarse cloth clothes and carrying a green bag in her previous life.

Her name is Tsuzu, and she is the daughter of the Guanjia brother. She entered the house after she got married.

Jinning looked at the three of them without hesitation and asked, "What are their names?"

"I'm called Lihua."

"I'm called pomegranate."

"I'm called Qingying."

The three of them stepped forward and bowed, "I have met the third lady!"

Jinning looked at their faces, then pointed at the pomegranate, "You!"

The butler's eyes flashed, thinking that Jinning would not keep her, so he said, "Miss Three, the pomegranate was seen by the Duke of the People himself."

Jinning glanced at him lightly, "Since my father saw it, then go into the house to serve him from now on."

The housekeeper showed a look of pride in his eyes, but he pretended to turn around and reminded Pomegranate, "Since the third lady looks down on you, you should serve the third lady well. If you serve it well, the Duke and the wife will reward you."

Pomegranate lowered his head and said, "Yes!"

The butler nodded with satisfaction, and did not salute Jinning, so he left directly.

Jinning sat on the chair and looked at the three of them coldly, "I only have one rule here, that is, just listen to me, you will do whatever I ask you to do. If I don't ask you to do, don't be troublesome."

"Yes!" the three of them responded.

"Go out, Haitang will tell you what you will be responsible for in the future!" Jinning waved.

The three of them retired in a blessed manner.

Haitang closed the door and said happily: "Miss, the Duke of China is concerned about you."

Jinning looked at Haitang's excited little face and smiled, "If I really care about it, Changsun wouldn't have been scolded just a few words."

He is touched now, but he is far from talking about family affection.

His resentment towards him was unforgettable. He knew in his previous life that after his mother died of dying from childbirth, she sent her to the village in just over three months and was raised by Aunt Sun. Zhuangzi was the property left by her mother. Over the years, he ignored it. It was not until someone in the court impeached her and ignored her daughter that she was taken back when she was thirteen years old.

"By the way," Jinning looked up and asked Haitang, "You can go out to inquire these days and see if the commander of the Nanjian, Eunuch Su, is in Beijing."

"Eunuch Su?" Haitang was startled, "Miss, what are you asking Eunuch Su for doing?"

The commander of the Southern Supervisor Su Yi, the person promoted by the Regent of Qingtian, established the Southern Supervisor and obeyed the orders of the Regent of Qingtian and Queen Mother Long. However, this Eunuch Su was an extremely cruel person. He heard that he loved to peel human skin the most. After entering the Southern Supervisor, few of them could come out.

As for Chen Jingting, the deputy commander of the Southern Supervisor, it is widely rumored that he has received the true teachings of Master Su Yi and is also interested in skinning. Therefore, although he is at the age of being a kinship and is a hot new general in the court, no one is willing to marry.

Now Chen Jingting is basically in charge of the Nanjian. Eunuch Su is not in the capital for many years, and even if he is there, he rarely goes to Nanjian.

"You go and inquire." Jinning said.

"Yes!" Haitang replied.

A few days later, Jinning's injuries healed a lot. The three girls in the yard were really good. He listened to Haitang's words, even pomegranates, and he acted very respectfully.

It seemed as if after the matter of Zhang's mother, Jinning really stood firm in the mansion.

On the fourth day of the fifth month, something big happened in Beijing.

Princess Ping'an's son Huilin disappeared and was suspected of being kidnapped.

Princess Ping'an is Qianyu, the emperor's sister of the current emperor, and the sister of the people. She was named Princess Ping'an. She married Lord Li, the general leader of the Inspection Office, as his wife for sixteen years. She gave birth to such a golden knot five years ago. When Prince Huilin disappeared, Lord Li and Princess Ping'an were only looking for their son. All the affairs of the Inspection Office were handed over to Princess Chen.

Duke Chen was so busy that he was not touching the ground that he didn't return home for two or three consecutive days.

Jinning remembered the eighth day of the fifth month of the same year in his previous life. He found Prince Huilin's body at the foot of Langshan. His whole body was cut thirty-eight times, and his flesh was blurred. Princess Ping'an went crazy when she saw Prince Huilin's body.

Thinking of the child he had killed by Li Liangsheng when he was born, Jinning's heart also felt aching.

Princess Ping'an and Lord Li have been committed to cracking down on corrupt officials over the years and have done a lot of practical things for the people and the court. All Princess Ping'an's delay infertility was that she was ambushed and seriously injured by corrupt officials, and was treated for a long time before she became pregnant with Prince Huilin.

The bandits who abducted Prince Huilin were from Langshan, and Changsun Ba took people to wipe out. After Yan Xun, he learned that the bandits had been bribed by the son of the dead corrupt official, Zhang Xiantian, and kidnapped Prince Huilin to retaliate against Lord Li.

Changsun Ba also made great contributions and went to another level.

Jinning tried hard to recall the case. The body was found on the morning of the eighth day of the fifth month. The coroner said that Prince Huilin died less than three hours, which means that the person was killed on the seventh day of the fifth month.

The man was captured by bandits from Langshan, but Jinning didn't know where he was imprisoned.

Will he be imprisoned in Langshan? Langshan Mountain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. This is also the reason why the bandits in Langshan have been in trouble for many years and the reason why Changsunba was able to wipe out the bandits and was awarded the title of emperor. Because he was not familiar with the terrain of Langshan, he really needed both wisdom and courage to destroy the bandits.

She is familiar with the terrain of Langshan. A year after the bandits were wiped out in her previous life, her good mother-in-law said that she would build a small temple in the mountains to worship Bodhisattvas and protect Jiangning Hou Mansion. She was specially sent to survey the terrain.

In fact, she was just to help her away and not allow her to stay in the mansion, because at that time, Changsun Yan'er was pregnant with her second child and was afraid that she would harm Changsun Yan'er's fetus, so she deliberately sent her out.

"Miss," Haitang walked in and looked at Jinning who was still dazed. "I went out to inquire. Eunuch Su Yi has not been in Beijing these days. He said he had gone to Huaibei last month."

"Well, I understand." Jinning nodded.

"Miss, what are you doing with Madam Su Yi?" Haitang couldn't help asking again.

Jinning smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that General Chen once entered the palace to ask for a pill for the sacrificial pill, so I want to know about the Nanjian."

Haitang uh, although she couldn't imagine what it had to do with Madam Su Yi, but the lady would say whatever she said.
