I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court

Obviously, she was quite satisfied with Ning Ning's answer.

After a long while, the woman spoke: "It seems that she is a smart girl, but Ning Zhongyi has committed suicide out of fear of punishment for embezzling 100,000 taels of gold. How can you let me help you?"

Ning Ning said solemnly, "My dear, my father is truly wronged. His loyalty to Daliang is evident to all."

"Where did the 100,000 taels of gold go?"

"...I don't know."

"The gold is gone, and the person involved is dead. If you want to solve the problem just by saying that your father was wrongly accused, I might as well just sentence you to death."

"Please give me a chance, I will definitely be able to clear my father's name."

"How are you going to wash?"

Ning Ning frowned. She had often reviewed the original owner's memories during these days. It could be said that she had recalled almost everything that happened on the day when the original owner's father had the accident.

In the original owner's memory, first a master came hurriedly to find his father, and then the two of them left in a hurry, and they were gone for three days.

When my father came back again, he was visibly haggard and anxious.

At that time, the whole family was having dinner. The mother looked at her husband whom she had not seen for a few days and thought that he had gone to the mine. She put down her bowl and chopsticks as usual and greeted him: "Master, have you eaten? Why didn't you let me know in advance when you came back? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some new dishes."

Ning Zhongyi sighed: "A disaster is about to happen, why bother eating. Ancheng, come with me to the study!"

Ning Ancheng and Ning Ning immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks. The brother and sister looked at each other and saw uneasiness in each other's eyes.

However, Ning Ancheng did not delay for long. He quickly got up and went to the study with his father.

"What happened?" The mother looked at the servant who had been following her father.

The servant hesitated in response to his mistress's question, but from his expression it was clear that the matter must be something serious.

During this meal, the mother and daughter were in no mood to continue eating. They both sat in the front hall waiting for the father and son.

After a long time, Ning Ancheng came out in a hurry. He put a letter on his chest and walked out in a hurry.

"Ancheng where are you going? Aren't you going to have dinner?"

The mother got up and chased after him, worried.

Ning Ancheng paused in his steps, took a look outside, and finally gritted his teeth and walked back to his mother. He looked at his mother and younger sister with a serious face.

"Our family has encountered a big problem. I am going to ask Uncle Zhou for help. Try not to go out during this period and keep an eye on father."

The mother couldn't help but worry: "What is going on? We have to find him to solve it!"

Zhou Jintao, the head of the Gold Department, is Ning Zhongyi's immediate superior. He is in charge of the smelting of the Daliang gold and silver mines. He has also taken good care of the Ning family over the years.

However, Zhou Jintao was far away in Kyoto, so it was not easy to meet him.

"Mother, please don't ask anything else. This is a matter of life and death for our family. Time doesn't wait, so I'll go first. Ah Ning, I'll leave my father and mother to you."

"Okay, I will take good care of them." Although the original owner was very scared, he still forced himself to remain calm and made a promise to his brother.

So Ning Ancheng and the servant left together.

In this way, the Ning family suffered all the time. After a few days, the original owner and her mother finally knew what had happened.

It turned out that the 100,000 taels of gold smelted by Ning Zhongyi had disappeared.

At this time, the Minzhou Metallurgical Department was in chaos. Ning Zhongyi detained all the people who had handled 100,000 taels of gold. Unfortunately, after several days of interrogation, there was no result.

In the original owner's memory, his father always went out early and came back late these days.

The original owner had promised her brother to take care of their father, so that day she asked the kitchen to make soup and waited for her father to come back.

My father didn't come back until after midnight and went straight to the study.

Ning Ning brought the soup and knocked on the study door.

Ning Zhongyi was reading various testimony documents. When he heard the knock on the door, he let her in without thinking much.

"Ning'er, why are you still awake so late?"

"Father has been busy these days, leaving early and returning late. I'm worried that your body can't bear it, so I specially stewed some tonic for you."

Ning Zhongyi was very touched. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Bring it here."

Ning Ning happily brought the soup in when she heard that. While Ning Zhongyi was drinking the soup, Ning Ning also considerately massaged her father's back, and then she unconsciously glanced at the testimony on the table.

They were all confessions of innocence, and not a single one had any proof of being present.

"Still no clues?" Ning Ning asked with concern.

Ning Zhongyi nodded: "Yes, these are my subordinates who have followed me for many years. I know they have nothing to do with this matter."

"Then why?"

"If I don't do anything, I'm the one with the problem."

Ning Zhongyi could not do it for himself, but he could not put his family in danger, so he could only temporarily detain all the people who had handled 100,000 taels of gold, as a way of giving an explanation to the court.

"Ancheng should be able to reach the capital in ten days. As long as my petition is delivered, all these problems will be solved."

"really?"

"Well, don't worry." Ning Zhongyi patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.

However, before Ning Zhongyi had finished his soup, the butler came knocking on the door and said that someone from the imperial court was visiting.

It's impossible not to feel strange that someone from the imperial court came here at such a late hour. But on second thought, since it involves 100 taels of gold, it would be strange if the imperial court was not anxious.

"Ning'er, go back and have a rest first. Dad will finish this bowl of soup later." Ning Zhongyi comforted his daughter.

Although Ning Ning felt sorry for her father, there was nothing she could do and she could only leave first.

Her father became a corpse after chatting with the man from the court at night, and she was unable to finish the bowl of soup she prepared.

Later, my father was inexplicably accused of committing suicide out of fear of punishment, and my brother never returned.

Naturally, the mother and daughter were unwilling to believe it and tried hard to defend their father. However, the Minzhou government completely ignored them and even detained them in jail. The mother could not accept the blow and hanged herself, leaving the original owner alone.

Unfortunately, later on, the original owner also died in that dilapidated temple, and the Ning family was left with only Ning'an City, whose fate was uncertain.

I think Ning Ancheng must have died on the way to deliver the letter.

Ning Ning pulled herself away from her memories and said, "Please give me some time, I will definitely be able to find out the real culprit and give you an explanation."

"Okay, I can give you a month. If you can't find the murderer, you can bring your head to me."

"Yes." Ning Ning prostrated herself on the ground: "Thank you for your kindness!"

"Someone, send her out of the palace."

"Yes." Two guards came in from outside and took Ning Ning away directly.

Of course, I blindfolded her again before leaving.

Although Ning Ning already knew that she would be separated from Shang Wenqi after returning to the capital, she still felt a little disappointed when they actually separated.

After all, they had been traveling together for a month. Except for the fact that he treated her like a sack in the beginning, he was actually quite nice to her later on.
