The Return of the Demon

Emperor Xuan waved his hand and asked Geng Jing to retreat.

After Geng Jing went down, Emperor Xuan looked at the prince and said, "Don't go to the prison to see this kid these days."

"Although the fifth prince is a fake, he dared to kidnap and beat him without knowing it, showed lawlessness, and ignored the imperial power... he still needs to be beaten."

The prince hurriedly said: "My son, I obey!"

At this time, General Chen couldn't bear it any longer and said: "Your Majesty, there is no news about Blue Star. I want to send someone to find it. Please allow your Majesty."

Emperor Xuan was stunned. There is no news yet? So who are we talking about now?

But it suddenly occurred to him that General Chen didn't seem to know Ning Chen's true identity.

"Old General, actually the Ning Chen we are talking about is Lan Xing, and Lan Xing is Ning Chen. They are the same person."

Old General Chen opened his mouth and couldn't come to his senses for a while.

Emperor Xuan said: "Ning Chen is actually the fourth son of Ning Ziming, the Minister of Rites, but this boy seems not to be welcomed by Ning Ziming."

It took Old General Chen a long time to come to his senses.

But he still didn't understand, "Lan... Ning Chen is extremely talented and has good moral character. He can be said to be both civil and military, so why is he not welcomed?"

Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice: "I can probably guess some of the reasons, but I'm not sure yet. I'm sending people to investigate... and I'll inform the old general after we find out."

Old General Chen nodded and murmured in his heart that Ning Ziming must be mentally ill and he didn't like such a good child.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand. Since Ning Chen has been found, why should he be put in prison?"

Emperor Xuan snorted, "He dared to kidnap and beat the fifth prince and ignore the imperial power. If he doesn't beat him hard, I won't even look down on him in the future."

"But that fifth prince is fake."

Emperor Xuan said: "Ning Chen didn't know that the fifth prince was fake at the time, but he still took action... Therefore, the truth or falsehood is not important. What is important is that this kid has no respect for the royal family."

Old General Chen said: "That kid is very smart. Maybe he already discovered that the fifth prince was fake, so he took action."

"Then why did he run away?"

General Chen: "..."

Emperor Xuan waved his hand and said: "Old general, please stop trying to make up for him. This kid has no respect for the royal family and must be beaten."

"He kidnapped and beat the fifth prince, falsely conveyed your orders to deceive the war horses, and fled in fear of crime... If I don't teach him a lesson this time, I'm afraid he won't even be able to distinguish between a king and a minister in the future."

Old General Chen sighed. Ning Chen did go too far this time. It would not be a bad thing to have a longer memory.

...

Geng Jing came to the prison of the Supervision Department.

He had to talk to Ning Chen and see why this boy was appreciated by His Majesty?

The air in the dark and cramped cell smelled bad.

Ning Chen was locked in the innermost cell.

He pulled some hay, sat in the corner, and fell asleep.

Geng Jing's mouth twitched when he saw this scene... Isn't this kid afraid of death?

He knocked on the cell door.

Ning Chen was awakened.

When he saw a tall, middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and thick eyebrows standing outside the cell door, his first reaction was that he was going to be interrogated.

This man has a very high position because he wears a purple fish scale suit.

The rank of people in the Inspection Department can be distinguished by the color of their clothes.

The average soldier wears a red fish scale suit, then silver, gold, and finally purple.

The person wearing the purple fish scale suit has the highest status.

"Are you here to interrogate me? I plead guilty, so let's not waste time."

Geng Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, "Lanxing, do you know what crime you committed?"

"I know that kidnapping and beating the fifth prince is a serious crime that can be punished by execution."

"Actually, there was someone behind the scenes when I kidnapped and beat the fifth prince."

Geng Jing's heart suddenly wondered, could there be any accomplices?

"Who ordered it?"

Ning Chen said: "Ning Ziming, the Minister of Rites."

Geng Jing's face twitched. He had recently been ordered to investigate Ning Chen and naturally knew that Ning Chen was not welcome in the Ning family.

This guy wants to Lan Ning Zi Ming into the water.

"What is your relationship with Ning Ziming? Why did he instigate you to kidnap and beat the fifth prince."

Geng Jing asked knowingly.

Ning Chen held his head high and said, "It doesn't matter to us. I am a killer and I use money to do things... Ning Ziming gave me money and asked me to kill the fifth prince."

"When your people caught me, they found that I had one hundred taels of silver on me, which Ning Ziming gave me."

Geng Jing's expression was strange, and there was not a word of truth in this guy's mouth.

"Are you a killer?"

Ning Chen nodded seriously, "Kill one person in ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles. When the matter is over, go away and hide your body and name... This is my life creed."

Geng Jing's breath was stagnant, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good poem, but a bit murderous."

Ning Chen said: "I am a killer. If I don't have murderous intent, can I still be called a killer?"

"It's a pity that I failed this time. I failed to kill that beast, the fifth prince. I failed to fulfill Lord Ning's trust."

Geng Jing's expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "How dare you humiliate the fifth prince?"

Ning Chen sneered and said: "The humiliation is nothing. I originally wanted to kill him... Such a beast should be killed by everyone. Even if Master Ning doesn't invite me, I will find an opportunity to kill him." "

"As a prince, he robs women of the people and harms the people in broad daylight. He is worse than a pig or a dog... With such a prince, Daxuan is finished."

Geng Jing was furious, "You are so outrageous, aren't you afraid of death?"

Ning Chen raised his head and said loudly: "Since ancient times, no one has not died. Leave behind a loyal heart to shine in history."

"The people are like water, and the royal family is like a boat... Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."

"If you kill me and Lord Ning, there will be thousands of me and Lord Ning standing up. Can you kill them all?"

Geng Jing was shocked and angry. Is this kid really bold? He dared to say such treasonous words.

However, this kid's literary talent is really amazing, and he can say famous sayings as soon as he opens his mouth.

"Lan Xing, you dare to talk nonsense when you are about to die... I hope you can still be so tough when you are beheaded?"

Ning Chen snorted coldly and said: "Then you wait and see. If Lord Ning and I blink our eyes at that time, we will not be considered men."

"Can't you stand it when I say a few words? When Lord Ning and his family cursed the emperor behind closed doors, they cursed as badly as they could."

Geng Jing finally understood why His Majesty wanted to criticize Ning Chen?

This kid is so bold that he doesn't have the power of the emperor in his eyes.

He pointed at Ning Chen, meaning that he should wait, and then turned and left.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Ning Chen would say something more shocking.

Ning Chen yelled: "Sir Ning, I'm sorry for you... It's all my fault that I didn't learn the skills well enough to kill the beast Fifth Prince, and I got you into trouble... I'll be a cow and a horse in my next life, and I'll pull grass for you to eat."

Geng Jing listened to the voice behind him with an extremely strange expression.

This kid, in order to drag Ning Ziming into the water, really did everything he could.

But the son hated his father so much... How much grievance must he have suffered?
