The Return of the Demon

When Geng Jing arrived at the palace gate, he happened to meet General Chen's sedan chair.

Because General Chen had difficulty walking, His Majesty allowed him to ride in a sedan chair in the palace.

"General Chen!"

Geng Jing bowed, he still respected General Chen.

General Chen lifted the curtain on the sedan chair and said with a smile: "Are you going to see His Majesty too?"

Geng Jing was stunned for a moment, it seemed that General Chen didn't know about Ning Chen yet.

He walked to the sedan chair and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the old general doesn't know that Ning Chen is in trouble."

General Chen's face changed, "What happened to Ning Chen?"

"He killed the uncle..."

Geng Jing told the story again!

General Chen's face was extremely solemn.

"Ning Chen killed the uncle, I must have been impeached, and I am also stuck in the quagmire, I can't say anything... Please say a few good words for Ning Chen later."

General Chen's face was solemn and nodded.

After the two entered, they met Nie Liang who came to greet them.

"Old General, Lord Geng, His Majesty has ordered the two imperial study to see him."

Geng Jing hurriedly asked: "Commander Nie, what's going on in the court?"

Nie Liang said in a deep voice: "Ning Chen has caused a big disaster this time. Those censors are vying to impeach him. Lord Geng, you have also been impeached... His Majesty is not in a good mood."

Geng Jing smiled bitterly. He had guessed this.

The three of them came to the imperial study and waited for a while. Emperor Xuan came.

"See your majesty!"

Emperor Xuan frowned and waved his hand and said: "Everyone get up!"

"I just came from the queen. The queen is in a very bad state."

General Chen and the others changed their faces slightly.

The uncle of the emperor is the younger brother of the queen. If the queen bites Ning Chen tightly, it will be troublesome.

"This bastard is so bold that he dares to kill even the uncle of the emperor. It's simply lawless."

Emperor Xuan said with a stern face.

"Your Majesty, calm down. The dragon's body is more important!"

"Calm down? How can I calm down? I shouldn't have let him go to Zhenyuan County."

The Emperor Xuan suddenly pointed at Geng Jing and said angrily, "How do you discipline your subordinates?"

Geng Jing was so scared that he fell to his knees, "I am guilty, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

In fact, Geng Jing felt even more wronged. He didn't know Ning Chen was so bold...Dare to chop the uncle with a knife?

Besides, didn't you let him go to Chongzhou? And you asked me to tell him to investigate thoroughly...Hmm? Geng Jing's eyes suddenly shrank slightly, as if he had tasted something?

General Chen said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Ning Chen has committed a serious crime and should be executed according to the law... But I think there are reasons for this. As a relative of the royal family, the state uncle should abide by the law and set an example."

"But he bullies the people, kills innocent people, and takes human lives lightly... Ning Chen has to do this for the sake of the people of Zhenyuan County. Please show mercy, Your Majesty."

Emperor Xuan knew what kind of person the state uncle was. If he did anything wrong, he would not drive him to Chongzhou.

Emperor Xuan sighed and said, "But no matter what, the state uncle is also a relative of the royal family and the queen's brother... The queen is the mother of a country, and her face must be taken into account."

Geng Jing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have a report sent back by Pan Yucheng in gold clothes."

The memorials that Your Majesty saw must have been submitted by the officials of Zhenyuan County... They would definitely avoid the important issues, erase the evil deeds of the state uncle, and focus on Ning Chen's crimes.

It must be different from the war report sent back by Pan Yucheng.

"Show it up!"

Eunuch Quan went to Geng Jing's report and handed it to the dragon case.

Emperor Xuan opened the report and read it carefully... The more he read, the uglier his face became.

This report was recorded in great detail.

Pan Yucheng recorded everything exactly, word for word, from their departure from the capital, to Ning Chen beheading the uncle, to the people of Zhenyuan County kneeling to see Ning Chen off when he left.

When he saw that Ning Chen's inner thighs were rubbed by riding a horse and he had difficulty walking, and then he crossed mountains and rivers and was finally washed away by the river... Emperor Xuan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

But when he saw that Ning Chen was fine and was rescued, Emperor Xuan's brows relaxed again.

At the end, when he saw that the uncle was going to kill innocent people in front of the people of the Supervisory Office, Emperor Xuan was so angry that his breathing became a little faster.

"Assholes, assholes... As a royal family, they are so cruel. They are all my people. The bark of the surrounding trees has been eaten up. The people are almost eating their own children. How dare they do this? Is this Daxuan still my Daxuan?"

"Ning Chen, a 15-year-old boy, understands the principle that water can carry a boat but can also overturn it. They are well-read and receive salaries from the emperor... Is this how they repay me?"

"They deserve to be killed, all of them deserve to be killed..."

Emperor Xuan threw the report heavily on the dragon table, his chest rising and falling violently.

Geng Jing and General Chen looked at each other quietly.

There is still a chance.

Geng Jing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I think that although Ning Chen killed the uncle, there were reasons for it and he was forced to do so... He is not guilty of death!"

General Chen hurriedly said: "I second the proposal. If the people are forced to have no way to survive, everyone knows the consequences... They are forcing the people to rebel, which is treason."

Emperor Xuan snorted coldly.

"According to you, Ning Chen did nothing wrong and even made contributions, right?"

General Chen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, calm down. This is not what I meant... I think that although Ning Chen made a big mistake, it was for a reason and he does not deserve death."

Geng Jing hurriedly said, "I second the motion!"

Emperor Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them.

"The crime is not worthy of death? He killed the queen's brother and uncle... If I don't kill him, how can I explain to the queen?"

"This kid killed the royal family-in-law with a knife. He was outrageous. Even if he died ten times, it wouldn't be enough... Tell me, what's the reason why I don't kill him?"

General Chen and Geng Jing looked at each other again... and became more and more certain that His Majesty did not want to kill Ning Chen. Did he mean to ask them to find a reason for Ning Chen to escape guilt?

...

On the other side, Ning Ziming turned pale and returned to Ning Mansion in despair.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Chang Ruyue asked with concern.

"It's over, it's all over..."

Ning Ziming's eyes were dull.

Ning Gan asked hurriedly: "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Ning Ziming's voice trembled, "Ning Chen killed Uncle Guo."

"What?"

Chang's mother and son were so frightened that they were scared out of their wits.

"Ning Chen killed his uncle in Zhenyuan County, and he is already being escorted back to the capital... He was the queen's brother, and it was a major crime against the nine tribes. It's over, it's over now."

Chang's mother and son were so frightened that their eyes turned black.

"Then...then go find my father, he will definitely have a way."

Ning Ziming shook his head, "I went to see my father-in-law. He asked me to go home and wait for news, saying that he had a way to solve this matter."

"But this matter is too big. It concerns the queen. No one can save our family, not even my father-in-law... We will all die, and no one can escape."

Chang Ruyue was so frightened that her legs became weak and she fell to the ground with a pale face.

"Father, I don't want to die. I'm still so young. I don't want to die..."

"Father, please think of a solution quickly. You are the Minister of Rites. You will definitely be able to think of a solution."

"Ning Chen is a bastard. He is a disaster. He should not be taken back to the Ning family. Why not let him die outside?"

The three Ninggan brothers were so frightened that they cried loudly.
