Chapter 52: Gold and jade outside

Chapter 52: The outside of the gold and jade

Du Ning stood outside the Duanhe County Prince's Mansion, watching Zhang Du come out hurriedly, and rushed forward to see the ceremony. Even though Du Ning was very powerful, he was nominally the prince, and the courtesy should not be abolished, and Du Ning had to give him a greeting. Zhang Du calmed down, coughed lightly, and smiled reluctantly, "So it's Duanhe County Prince Zhang Duo, who has not seen you one day? What kind of wind has blown you to Jiangnan?" When Duanhe County Prince Zhang Du was still in the capital, he also met Du Ning. At that time, Zhang Du was not the prince, and Du Ning was just a guard in the palace. After seeing each other for goodbye, both of them had changed their identities and status. Although they had their own thoughts, they still felt a little sigh.

Du Ning smiled: "The prince enjoys a blessing in Jiangnan. How could he know how hard we worked for the job... Alas, I was talking to the emperor in the capital, but suddenly there was a flood in Jiangnan. The emperor was a little worried, so he sent me to take a look and greet the prince by the way."

Duanhe County Prince Zhang Duan snorted secretly, but on the surface he looked touched, and bowed to the north from afar: "I am worried about you. Speaking of which, I have not seen the emperor for several years... If you have time to see the emperor in the future, you will have to ask you to greet me on your behalf."

Du Ning hurriedly said that he must be sure. While talking, the two entered the mansion and sat down in the hall one after another. The servants took the tea and retreated. Only Duanhe County Prince Zhang Du and Commander Du Ning were left in the hall.

Zhang Du said again: "The flood in Jiangnan is caused by the sky, the sky is angry, people are resentful. I guess you came because of this matter, right?" Now the matter of Jiangnan rivers has caused a lot of controversy, and the matter that Fei Lingwei is about to investigate has been investigated, so there is no need to hide it anymore, so Du Ning admitted it openly.

Zhang Du sighed and said, "The rivers in Jiangnan have always been flooded. These people have been brave enough to ignore the national laws and regulations and the people's livelihood. It is really impossible to tell the truth and the law of heaven!" Zhang Du looked compassionate. If Du Ning had not known his nature, he had already checked his foundation. If someone else had thought that this prince was a kind and dedicated person for the people.

"The flood in the south of the Yangtze River is mostly affected, but the Changning Mansion is the least damaged. It's not that I was deliberately boasting, if I hadn't been here, and the Changning Prefect Lin Wu's strict government orders, I'm afraid the consequences would be unexpected..." Zhang Du was still sighing. "I can only manage one government but not one. As for other prefectures, I'd be powerless... Hanyang Mansion--"

Seeing that the prince was talking nonsense, Du Ning quickly interrupted him: "It is the honor of the local officials to stay in Changning. The prince and Du Ning know about the emperor's actions in the Jiangnan incident. The prince's merits have been presented to the emperor. The emperor said that if this time the flood is caused, he will be punished severely, and if he will be rewarded with great merits, he will be congratulated in advance. The prince must prepare to welcome the special envoys early..."

"Uh...hehe!" Zhang Du's face tightened, and he hurriedly covered up with a smile: "A little effort is just the duty of me as a minister, so how can I get the emperor's distraction reward? Fortunately, the emperor has you people around him to share the worries for the king. It's really a blessing for our royal family..."

Du Ning laughed in his heart when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed: "The prince is so serious. We are just running errands. Isn't the emperor planning a big deal? But fortunately, we are trusted by the emperor, otherwise we would have to take a lot of trouble to do things."

"Why, with your title of Du Ning Fei Lingwei, can anyone stumble on you? You have turned them back!" Zhang Du blew his beard and suddenly woke up and asked Du Ning: "I'm talking about it again. You are here this time. I'm afraid you won't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing?"

Du Ning smiled: "Since the prince has come to this, Du Ning dares not hide it. He came to pay homage to the prince this time, and there was something to ask for."

"Oh? Tell me what's the matter!"

"I want to be honest and want to be alone in the prince..."

"Hmm?" As soon as Du Ning said this, Zhang Du's heart suddenly stumbled. Seeing Du Ning staring at him with a slight smile, he quickly said in surprise: "I want someone? Who are you Feilingwei? How can you find my mansion to ask for someone? Who are you want?"

Seeing that the words had already ended, it was boring to say it again, so Du Ning said seriously: "Your Majesty is clear, Bei Zhizhi heard that someone offended the prince the day before yesterday and was arrested by the prince and scolded him. I wonder if this is the case?"

"You...what do you mean!" Zhang Du's heart suddenly became cold when he heard this! But his face still showed anger and shouted: "After I left Beijing, I have always been cautious in dealing with people, for fear of falling into the royal face! When it comes to the past, I feel that I am worthy of the emperor and the people. What is your duty to Du Ning? How dare you investigate me secretly?!"

"Prince, please calm down." Du Ning still had that smile, but the light in his eyes was obviously different at this moment. Although Zhang Du relied on his being the prince to scold Du Ning, he had a ghost in his heart. After Du Ning's stare, his momentum quickly faded away! Du Ning was always kind, but once a case was handled, a gloomy and hairy aura would suddenly appear... Although Du Ning smiled like a tiger, if it fell into his hands, the result would not be necessary, and Zhang Du would not dare to think about it!

"Prince, is there any such thing?"

"Well...yes...I caught a man yesterday, but I was just a rural villager, and I also worked for you Lord Du's big boss?" Zhang Du had no choice but to admit that, and even saved "I" in his words.

"I heard that the man still had something on his body..." Du Ning's voice gradually lowered and slowed down, but when he looked at the eyes of Duanhe Prince Zhang Du, he seemed to be more attentive.

After hearing Du Ning's words, Zhang Du's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley. Zhang Du understood this sentence. Du Ning came prepared and knew everything! But what was upset in Zhang Du was that this matter had never been heard from the second gates of the mansion from beginning to end. How did Du Ning know? Zhang Du said angrily in his heart and cursed endlessly, but he calculated the few people who knew about the day, but he could not determine who the person who leaked the news was!

Du Ning said slowly: "Because this is true, I also have to trouble the prince to bring that person to Beizhi. If something happens, that person is the person the emperor and Beizhi are looking for..."

"What?" Zhang Du's body suddenly softened when he heard this. "The person the emperor has been looking for?"
