A Clash of Gods - Chapter 914

[Chapter 904]

Chi Danmei saw Qi Ning in awe, shook his arm gently, and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

When Qi Ning came back to his senses, he forced a smile and said, “It’s nothing.” He thought that the origin of the man in white was unknown. This was a bit strange to say, but he didn’t need to tell Chi Danmei.

Chi Danmei is so smart, how can’t she see it, she winked and said softly, “Are you hiding something from me?”

“No!” Qi Ning thought thoughtfully and asked softly, “Has Aunt Mei ever taken Xuelong’s blood?”

“I’m not in a hurry.” Chi Dan said with a smile: “I’m in the palace now, I can go there at any time, but there are such good things, I miss you in my heart, if you have the ability to sneak into the palace in the middle of the night, I’ll take you there.”

Qi Ning held Chi Dan’s hand and said softly, “Auntie seems to really miss me.”

Chi Dan gave him a glamorous look, and said softly, “Don’t be sentimental, I’m just worried that you have too many enemies. With your three-legged cat skills, you can’t deal with those enemies at all.”

“You’re worried that I’m not an enemy of the enemy, so naturally you still care about my safety.” Qi Ning chuckled: “If you really worry about me, wouldn’t it be better to follow me in the future and protect my safety day and night?”

“What you think is beautiful.” Chi Danmei spat softly and chuckled: “You asked me to be your guard, I’m afraid you can’t afford the money.”

“Auntie, you are the disciple of the East Sea Island Master. You have a high level of martial arts. There is nothing in the world that you can’t do. Why do you have to wrong yourself and pretend to be a palace maid to find that thing in the palace?” Qi Ning whispered: “Up to now I still don’t know what you’re looking for, so can’t you tell me?”

“It’s better that you don’t know about this.” Chi Danmei said quietly: “You really want to get involved, it won’t do you any good.” After glancing at the door, he whispered: “You stay here. If you don’t go out for a while, the old eunuch will only be suspicious.”

“Then how should I see you next time?”

Chi Danmei took a silk scarf and handed it over to Qi Ning. Qi Ning opened it and glanced at it, only to see a map painted on top of the silk scarf, which marked the location of Fengyi Palace and another Chi Danmei had already pointed at the ink dots and explained, “This is where I live. After the hour, I will be here. This place is where the Southern Border Xuelong is located. It is very remote.”

Qi Ning put away the silk scarf and said in a low voice, “That is, if I want to see you, I have to sneak into the palace at midnight?”

“Although your current martial arts can’t be described as high, it’s not weak.” Chi Danmei said softly, “You should still have the ability to sneak into the palace.” His eyes were hooked, and he was close to Qi Ning’s ear: “I am here. The palace is waiting for you, if you want to see me, come in with your ability.”

Qi Ning sighed, suddenly thought of something, and said in a low voice, “Yes, auntie, I have something to ask you for help.”

“what’s up?”

“Liu Yun, the eunuch of the Li and Music Supervisor, found a few musicians from outside the palace to enter the palace.” Qi Ning said thoughtfully, “If it’s convenient for you, help me keep an eye on those musicians.”

Chi Dan Mei sighed: “The man really sees one and loves the other, do you want me to help you as a matchmaker, looking at those musicians with their beautiful looks?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Qi Ning suddenly reached out and hugged Chi Danmei in his arms, Chi Danmei struggled immediately, but Qi Ning hugged very close and whispered, “With Aunt Mei in her arms, who is it? Still thinking about other women? I’m just curious about the origins of those musicians.”

Chi Danmei stopped twisting and let Qi Ning hug her, wondering, “Do you suspect that they are coming from the wrong place?”

“I don’t know how to say it.” Qi Ning pondered for a moment before saying, “Maybe it’s just me thinking too much, just help me pay attention.”

Chi Danmei chuckled lightly and said, “What if the road is not right? Could it be that they entered the palace to assassinate the emperor? Your little emperor is greedy for wine and sex, and he is not a good emperor, so what if he is assassinated?”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, “As soon as the emperor dies, the state of Chu will be in chaos, and then only the common people will suffer.

Naturally, I don’t want to see Li Min being charred.

”

“Don’t take the benevolence I mentioned.” Chi Danmei chuckled, “If the emperor dies or the world is in chaos, what does it have to do with me?” Staring at Qi Ning’s eyes, she said with a charming smile, “It’s just that since you Please auntie, auntie will show mercy and help you keep an eye on those musicians. Little rascal, how should you thank me for helping you like this?”

Without saying a word, Qi Ning suddenly held Chi Danmei’s pretty face, kissed Chi Danmei’s fragrant lips, Chi Danmei struggled with a “woo woo”, and finally broke free, raised her hand to hit him, but Qi Ning stopped. He stretched out his face and closed his eyes, Chi Danmei was angry and funny, and whispered: “I’ll take care of you next time, little bastard, don’t hurry up.”

Qi Ning also knew that it took too long to make people suspicious, so he was reluctant to part with Chi Danmei. Fan Dehai kept waiting and left the palace without asking any more questions.

Although Qi Ning entered the palace this time, although there was a slight estrangement with the little emperor, the harvest was still not small. The little emperor only said that the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment were left to Qi Ning to take care of, that is, Qi Ning was allowed to handle Da Xichong’s case. Qi Ning had a lot of dreams at night, so when he returned to the punishment department that day, he settled a case with Chu Mingwei and others.

Da Xichong and Cao Sen colluded together, stole the beam and exchanged posts, and privately released death row prisoners. According to the laws of the Ministry of Justice, they were not only to be dismissed from office, but also to be taken to the execution ground to be sentenced. Qi Ning simply and neatly signed the death sentence and decided the execution Days, when everyone in the Department of Punishment knew the outcome of the case, they were all trembling with fear.

Da Xichong has been in the Ministry of Punishment for more than ten years, which can be said to be deeply rooted, but as soon as Qi Ning came to power, within a few days, he pulled out the big tree of the Ministry of Punishment. Such a resolute action is really surprising.

After three days, Da Xichong and Cao Sen were escorted to the execution ground. Qi Ning thought at first that Sima Lan might cause trouble and find some trouble, but from beginning to end, Sima Lan remained silent until Da Xichong was arrested. On the day of the beheading, Sima Lan did not move at all.

After Da Xichong and Cao Sen subdued the law, Qi Ning had established a powerful presence in the Ministry of Punishment. Although Qi Ning was not familiar with the affairs of the various departments of the Ministry of Punishment for the time being, no one in the Ministry of Punishment dared to be slight in front of Xiaohou Ye.

What made Qi Ning happy was not that he took control of the Punishment Department in a short period of time, but that Dou Kui, the Ministry of Housing, had dealt with the property of the Huainan Palace as promised, and immediately pulled out 800,000 taels of silver and handed it over to Hei. On the side of Linying, another one million taels of silver were pulled out and sent to the front line as military pay.

Dou Kui has been in the Ministry of Punishment for many years. He is very familiar with this set, and it is quite secretive. Dou Kui also knows that he has become a thorn in Sima’s eyes. Yu Xiaohou, even if he took risks, he would not hesitate.

As the top financial officer of the empire, Dou Kui naturally has his own set of extremely secret personal connections in the business world, and he is very good at dealing with the loopholes left by the accounts, otherwise he would not be able to sit firmly in the position of the Minister of the Household. for many years.

He originally followed the King of Huainan, and as a capable general under the King of Huainan, he was naturally the target of Sima’s attack, but Sima couldn’t find out his financial handle, which also showed that he was experienced in handling accounts.

The property that was confiscated from the Huainan Wangfu was entered into the account of the Ministry of Accounts with more than 2 million taels of silver, and one million taels of silver were secretly withdrawn. According to the agreement with Qi Ning, 800,000 taels of silver entered Qi Ning’s pocket. , Dou Kui left 200,000 taels of silver as hard work.

800,000 taels of silver is a lot of money. Of course, Qi Ning will not openly include it in the accounts of the Jinyi Hou Mansion. Fortunately, he still has Yuan Rong in his hands. Yuan Rong has made good friends with the disciples of several great gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. , and Qi Ning was also kind to those people at the beginning. Through Yuan Rong’s line, 800,000 taels of silver quickly entered a hidden bank, plus the silver taels after the confiscated secret treasure from the Buddhist hall of Huainan Wangfu changed hands. Ning owns more than three million taels of silver in the hidden bank.

In less than a month, Qi Ning had several million taels of silver in his hands, which was a very pleasant thing for anyone.

And from the beginning to the end, Qi Ning did not participate in it, everything was handled by others, and after the huge sum of money entered the secret bank, no one except Qi Ning could mobilize the one or two silver in Qi Ning’s account. , and absolutely no one can find any loopholes in any account of this bank.

This time, the secret operation was neat and neat, leaving almost no trace, but Qi Ning knew that there is no absolute saying in this world. If someone really pursues the property of the King of Huainan, they may not be able to find out a clue. www.sonicmtl.com But for Xining, this is not a big problem.

Qi Ning had left room for a long time. From the time he seized the Huainan Palace, he was careful every step of the way. Although he obtained a large sum of money in the end, the Jinyi Hou Palace did not leave any clues, and although he used Dou Kui, he did not. I don’t trust Dou Kui, and naturally I won’t leave any clue to Dou Kui.

Even if this incident happened, it could only be Dou Kui who was pushed in front. There was no evidence that could get on Qi Ning’s body. The only thing that might go wrong was Qi Ning’s secret deposit in the bank, but Qi Ning knew that the huge underground The strength is enough to ensure that this bank is as stable as Mount Tai.

There are always some unshakable forces in this world, and underground-banks belong to one of them.

Moreover, although not many people were involved in this incident, there were quite a few yamen involved. Behind Yuan Rong was the Ministry of Rites, behind Dou Kui was the Ministry of Household, and he was in the hands of the Ministry of Punishment. Under the whole world, even the power of the Sima Clan. , I’m afraid I don’t dare to tear my face with such a force easily.

Since the Black Scale Battalion was rebuilt, it has never received such a huge sum of money from the Ministry of Households. 800,000 taels of silver is enough for the Black Scale Battalion to quickly purchase a large number of high-quality war horses, and the equipment has also improved rapidly. The only controllable military force in Qi Ning’s hands can quickly increase the combat power of the Black Scale Battalion, which naturally makes Qi Ning very happy.

Money can make a ghost grind, and more money can naturally greatly improve the combat power of the Black Scale Battalion, which has been training hard.

In addition, Qi Ning did not forget the existence of the night ghost. Qi Ning took the gray crow and made him secretly form a secret power. Of course, this is also a very expensive thing. Fortunately, Xiaohou Ye now has enough silver taels to make this dark The power grew rapidly.

Justice is not in people’s hearts, right or wrong is about strength, Qi Ning has never forgotten the essence of this sentence!
