Chapter 61: The Truth About Dad's Death
"Young Master!" A servant's voice came from outside the courtyard again.
"What's the matter?" Yan Ning did not mean to let the other party enter the courtyard.
"The elder of the big clan asked you to go to the conference hall and said that there was something important to discuss with you." The servant said outside the yard with a voice.
"Well, I know, I will go there." Yan Ning replied.
The old clan asked him to discuss it at this time. In fact, there is no need to guess that it is related to the affairs of the Jintien Inspection Department of the Five Prefectures. After all, the Hou Mansion has spies in Beijing.
"Su Su, you will continue to practice swords with the Dugu Hall leader here." Yan Ning gave the instructions and asked Fang Fei to lead the way and walked towards the meeting room.
And Dugu Wuqing had no intention of following him.
Yan Ning and Fang Fei left the courtyard, turned a few more big turns, entered the front yard from the inner courtyard, and soon arrived in front of an antique small building.
The building is divided into two floors.
There is a silver sign "Convention Hall" hanging on it.
The first floor of the meeting hall is to deal with some tribe disputes, while the second floor is to discuss major tribe affairs.
Fang Fei stopped at the door.
After Yan Ning walked in, a guard led Yan Ning to the second floor.
"Ning'er, here we come." In the second floor meeting room, the three clans had been waiting inside. When they saw Yan Ning, they all spoke to the marquis.
"Hello, three grandpas." Yan Ning returned the gift.
"Well, sit down." The three clan elders nodded.
Yan Ning sat down.
Then, a maid came in and put a few stacks of snacks in front of Yan Ning, poured another cup of tea, and finally left the second floor.
"What are the three grandpas asking me for trouble?" Yan Ning spoke first.
"Sir, tell me." The elder of the big clan and the elder of the second clan looked at the elder of the third clan.
"Okay, Ning'er is like this. We have received an important news that the Ministry of Personnel has issued an instruction and you will succeed to a Ministry of Works. "
"Is the Jin Iron Inspection Department of the Five Prefectures?" Yan Ning nodded slightly.
"Hmm?! You... already know?" The old man from the three clan was stunned for a moment, because he had never seen Yan Ning go out in the past five days.
Moreover, Yan Ning has been practicing swords in the mansion for the past five days and seems to have no information from outside. How did he know about this?
"Did Dugu Wuqing tell you?" The elders of the second clan immediately had speculation.
"That's right, after Eunuch Liang was beaten out of the Marquis' Mansion by me, there will definitely be a next move. Today, the inspection department of the Five Mansions was suddenly thoroughly investigated, and then, he did not even ask questions and scold him and was executed in the street. I guess it should have something to do with me." Yan Ning smiled slightly.
"Yes, Ning'er, you analyzed it thoroughly. Now we have received the exact news that you will be the new Jintien Inspection Department of the Five Prefectures soon. I wonder what you think about this position...?" The old man from the Three Clan nodded in appreciation when he heard this.
"What do you think of Grandpa Third?" Yan Ning asked replies without answering.
"Forehead……"
"Okay, Ning'er can analyze this matter at a glance and he is related to him, so don't hide it. Just be honest and unfair." The old clan finally spoke.
"Well, what we mean is, Ning'er, you can take this order, but you must not take office immediately." The elders of the third tribe and the elders of the second tribe looked at each other and spoke.
"Did the three grandpas ask me to drag them until after they get married to Qianshanxue?" Yan Ning naturally understood what the three clan elders mean.
"Yes, as long as you get married to General Ningyuan's mansion, there is no problem with taking any position. But at this time, it is best not to leave the Marquis' mansion." The elder of the second clan nodded.
"Second grandpa might as well guess why they killed the current Jintien Inspection Office of the Five Prefectures in the street?" Yan Ning smiled.
"..." The old man of the two clans.
"The current Jin and Iron Inspection Department of the Five Prefectures is telling us that the Gan Kingdom's demand for "Gold and Iron" has reached an urgent point. Although this illusion was deliberately created by them, its meaning is that you cannot continue to delay at home!" Yan Ning said calmly.
"Well, Ning'er, it seems you are ready?" The old clan looked at Yan Ning.
"There are some preparations, but there is one thing I have never understood." Yan Ning nodded.
"What's up?"
"Why did my father die?" Yan Ning looked at the clan's elder. In his memory, he only knew that Yan Xiaotian suddenly died in battle a month ago, but as for the others, he didn't know.
This shows that Yan Ning did not participate in the affairs of the Hou Mansion and the court in the past, and basically belonged to the type of a sick young man who was idle at home.
And now, since we are going to fight.
So, at least you should know who your opponent is?
"..." The three clan elders fell silent for a moment.
"Since the three grandpas have called me here to discuss, they should be ready to tell me the truth, right?" Yan Ning picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
"Yes, the three of us are indeed ready to tell you all the truth." The three clan elders looked at each other and finally sighed.
"Please tell me, three grandpas." Yan Ning took another bite of snack.
"Our Zhenbei Hou Mansion is all princelings." The old man of the three tribes gritted his teeth and spoke.
"puff!"
The dessert in Yan Ning's mouth squirted out.
The three clan elders were immediately sprayed with sesame seeds and mung beans on their faces.
"Actually, Xiaotian's death was not beyond our expectations, but we didn't expect... to come so quickly." The old man from the second tribe sighed.
"Xiaotian and the prince grew up together and are deeply trusted by the prince. At a young age, they have already taken charge of 80,000 Iron Cavalry in the North and made countless military achievements in the war with Beiliang. If the prince had not suddenly died of illness three months ago, how could they dare to fight the 80,000 Iron Cavalry in the North and North?" The elders of the three clans wiped their faces and spoke very unwillingly.
"..." Yan Ning was silent.
Because, he already knew the reason.
The prince died of illness.
His father is also the direct line of the prince's party, so at this moment it is like losing support. The hatred that was formed in the past due to party struggles broke out.
You bullied me so hard in the past, but now you have no background, so why don’t I kill you?
Of course, there is another option.
He just waved his tail to the other party immediately for mercy, but with his father's arrogant personality, he probably disdained to do this, so he was killed.
"After learning about the death of the prince, Xiaotian went to the General Ningyuan's mansion as soon as possible and decided on your marriage with Qianshanxue. Judging from this matter, Xiaotian should have guessed something at that time. Now he thought about it, he should have wanted to use this marriage to shock the other party, but he did not expect that the other party would not dare to deal with the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion openly, but he used such despicable means to secretly use it!" The old man of the second clan said again.
"I understand. Those three grandpas think, who is the most likely murderer to kill my father?" Yan Ning naturally made some judgment when he heard this.
After all, this kind of plot...
There are still many in the novel.
