I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court

Ning Ning sneered. She had already expected that Shang Wenqi would not respond, so she was too lazy to wait for him to continue speaking.

"It is easy to be an obedient minister, but it is difficult to be a loyal minister. Loyal ministers can be divided into upper, middle and lower categories. The upper category is like Duke Zhou serving King Cheng of Zhou, who dared to overturn the monarch's decision when the monarch made a wrong decision; the lower category is like Guan Zhong serving Duke Huan of Qi, who used his wisdom to make the monarch adjust his decision; the lower category is like Wu Zixu serving King Fuchai of Wu, who advised the lord to change but angered the monarch.

Those who know that the monarch is wrong and give clear advice, even at the cost of their own life, are all loyal ministers.

Although you are a guard, how can you not be a subject?

But you knew that the monarch's behavior was biased, but you still blindly followed him. You are not only a submissive minister, but also a treacherous minister!"

"you!"

Shang Wenqi frowned, but still let go.

In fact, although he was pinching Ning Ning's neck, he did not use any strength. After letting Ning Ning go, her neck was not hurt at all. However, Ning Ning was not hurt at all, but the abuser Shang Wenqi was different. His heart was filled with huge waves.

Shang Wenqi has worked his way up from being a soldier to where he is today, and the only thing in his life is obedience. However, no one has ever told him that guards are also subjects and have the obligation to support the monarch.

He thought that he just needed to be the sharpest knife for his aunt, but now that the details had been revealed, all the things he had deliberately ignored came to the fore.

Shang Wenqi frowned slightly, staggered a few steps and quickly returned to the room.

Ning Ning looked at Shang Wenqi fleeing in confusion, not knowing what this man meant for a moment.

Isn't this man famous for being stubborn? He was indifferent to her seduction, but was scared away by her words about the relationship between the emperor and his subjects.

Tell me earlier!

She has listened to many brainwashing lectures like this. Not only does she understand the relationship between the ruler and his subjects, but she also understands the way to govern a country.

Ning Ning glanced at Shang Wenqi's tightly closed door and didn't know what to say for a moment. As for the hundred taels of gold on the table... although it was very tempting, but thinking of the unpleasant conversation between the two just now, Ning Ning decided not to take it.

So she went back to her room too.

However, at this moment, she was not sure whether Shang Wenqi would help her. Ning Ning could only consider the feasibility of disguising herself and staking out at the gate of the Ministry of Justice tomorrow.

When it was dinner time, there was still no movement in Shang Wenqi's room, but a servant did bring her delicious meals.

While Ning Ning was eating, Song Sijing came again.

But he came in stealthily, and his shifty expression showed that he was guilty.

When I first saw him in the morning, he looked like a gentleman, but since he got the full set of cosmetics, he gradually lost control and turned into a childish boy.

Song Sijing didn't care when he saw Ning Ning eating. He sat down happily and took out the eyelash curler, mascara, and each one with great interest: "Miss Ning, how do you use this?"

"This is an eyebrow-cutting knife."

"?" Song Sijing looked confused.

"Well, it's eyebrow pencil. It's just that traditional eyebrow pencil is difficult to use, so I thought of a way to optimize its usage."

The eyebrow pencils in ancient times were very different from those in modern times. They were made of a bluish-black mineral that was ground into powder and placed in an inkstone box. When they were ready to use it, they would use a pestle to scoop out some of it, mix it with water, and apply it to the eyebrows.

The usage is similar to ink.

Therefore, there are actually many preparation steps required for the ancients to put on makeup, and it would take a long time.

But eyebrow pencils are different. The refill is placed in the wood and you can use it by constantly sharpening the pencil. It does not dirty your hands and is quicker and more convenient. It also does not contain harmful substances and does not cause much harm to the skin. In short, it is a better thing.

Song Sijing listened with surprise and was filled with admiration for Ning Ning.

"You are so smart. How could you come up with such a clever idea?"

"It's mainly the inspiration that the brush brings to me." Ning Ning casually pointed to the brush on the eight-immortals table.

Song Sijing had no doubts at all, and even felt that Ning Ning was smarter.

After all, they were both using a pen, so why didn't he think of putting the powder into the wood?

"What is this?"

Ning Ning took a look at the eyelash curler and patiently explained to him how to use it and its effects.

Song Sijing was shocked.

Just as Song Sijing was drawing on his wrist with liquid eyeliner, Ning Ning asked without leaving a trace.

"Where's Shang Wenqi?"

It's no wonder she asked this. After all, she had been eating here for so long and chatting with Song Sijing for so long, but there was no movement in Shang Wenqi's room.

Although this guy is usually silent, he is not this quiet.

So, Ning Ning inferred that he had gone out, but she didn't know where he went.

Song Sijing answered without even looking up, "He went out to do some work. He is the person the noble trusts and loves the most. He usually works in the palace and rarely comes back. Just get used to it."

"I see." Ning Ning nodded and didn't ask any more questions. It was better that Shang Wenqi was not here. She could take a bath comfortably.

After seeing Song Sijing off, Ning Ning asked the servant to collect the dishes and went back to the room to summon the bathtub again.

Ning Ning took a nice bath, then worked hard to recover for a while before going to bed soundly.

……

The next day, when Ning Ning woke up, Shang Wenqi was still not there, but she didn't care, since she had already made a complete plan last night.

Ning Ning first bought another set of cosmetics in the mall, then put on some makeup, turning herself into an ordinary old woman, and then put on the clothes that Shang Wenqi had found in a farmer's house before, and then walked out.

She originally planned to go through the back door, but when she passed the courtyard, she heard noise in the front yard.

Ning Ning couldn't help but feel puzzled and subconsciously walked towards the front yard.

As a result, we saw the Qingyun Left Cavalry led by Shang Wenqi confronting a group of people.

Those people were also wearing the same black uniform with red collars and dark patterns. They all had swords on their waists and looked very aggressive.

"Sir Shang, you and I both serve the court, so you have no intention of making things difficult for me, right?"

"Li Silang, your words are too kind. I don't understand what you mean."

"Yesterday, there was a murder case near the residence of Zhou Jintao, the head of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Finance. We need to ask Mr. Zhou to go to the Ministry of Justice to assist in the investigation. Please ask Mr. Shang to hand over Mr. Zhou to us."

"There were murders around Lord Zhou's residence, not in Lord Zhou's residence. It would be hasty to interrogate the court officials for such a reason. Yesterday, when we, the Qingyun Left Cavalry, were on patrol, we also happened to find men in black near Lord Zhou's residence. We suspected that these people intended to harm Lord Zhou, so what was wrong with protecting their family?"

"This……"

"The murder case you are talking about, could it be these men in black? We really need to investigate who is the mastermind behind them, who dared to assassinate an official of the imperial court."

Shang Wenqi had a cold face and every word he said was as sharp as a knife.
