I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court
Chapter 126 What reward do you want?
"Ajiu, are you sure that this well-behaved girl in front of you is the same person who visited Liu Yuzhou Miyuan?"
Queen Mother Shang observed Ning Ning for a while, and finally said something that she had never expected.
Ning Ning was a little confused and blinked in confusion.
Shang Wenqi, who was pretending to be a statue, made a move. He clasped his hands together and answered in a deep voice, "Yes."
Queen Mother Shang couldn't help but laugh: "That's really strange, girl, tell me what's going on?"
Ning Ning couldn't help but bow slightly when her name was called, her mind racing. To be honest, the Queen Mother's incoherent words made her a little confused, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Just when Ning Ning was confused and thinking about how to deal with it so as not to step on the landmine, a mellow voice sounded in the hall.
"The Ning family has strict rules. Although Ning Ning is sometimes bold and reckless, she has not fallen behind in learning the rules. That is why there is a violation today."
The one who spoke for her was Shang Wenqi.
As soon as he finished speaking, Queen Mother Shang and even Ning Ning looked at him unconsciously.
There was a hint of inquiry in Queen Mother Shang's eyes, but more of it was surprise.
After all, Shang Wenqi has been by her side for so many years, always acting as her shadow, and has never answered questions without asking like he did today.
Just when Queen Mother Shang was puzzled, Ning Ning suddenly understood. It turned out that it was her perfect court etiquette that made the Queen Mother feel strange.
It will be easier to deal with it once you know the reason, Ning Ning replied in a deep voice.
"Thank you for your compliments, sir. Actually, I am not a very polite girl, but I was touched by your spirit and restrained myself unconsciously."
In the eyes of the empress dowager, she was just the daughter of a small local official. Although she was a daughter of an official, this kind of small official who was not even a ninth-rank sesame was no different from an ordinary person.
It's no wonder that she is so curious about this commoner who not only knows court etiquette, but also has no faults.
But knowing is one thing, and speaking it out is another. Ning Ning could only attribute all the credit to the Queen Mother, flatter her first, and then slowly explain it.
"As for going to Liu Yanzhou's mansion to investigate, it is just the filial duty that children should fulfill. Father and mother died unjustly, and as children, we naturally have to help them clear their grievances, not to mention Liu's mansion, even hell is worth it."
Ning Ning's words were both sad and touching.
"In that case, tell me what you think."
"I have no ideas, but solid evidence. I have already handed this evidence to Shang Duwei, and I believe he has also reported it to you, my Lord.
In view of these evidences, please seek justice for my father."
"Liu Yanzhou didn't confess anything." Queen Mother Shang said lightly.
The implication is that there is no use having evidence if the other party does not admit it.
Ning Ning finally understood why Queen Dowager Shang summoned her. It turned out that although they found evidence, Liu Yanzhou refused to admit it.
Theoretically, with so much evidence before him, he has no room for quibbling. However, the laws of Daliang require the criminal to confess and sign a confession for it to count.
If the prisoner continues to deny his guilt, there is nothing we can do to him.
Of course, there is also a violent solution, which is to secretly kill the person to create the illusion that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
That was how her father was persecuted.
However, Queen Mother Shang did not do so. She probably wanted to use him to find out who was behind it.
She was afraid that Liu Yanzhou would not do as she wished and remain in a stalemate.
Ning Ning easily guessed the current situation.
She sighed slightly: "Liu Yanzhou's refusal to confess can only mean that he has greater interests at stake, or he is confident that his protective umbrella can protect him. If you want him to confess, you have to win his heart first."
"Do you think they are vegetarians?"
The implication is that threats and inducements had already been used against the Qingyun Left Cavalry, but Liu Yunzhou refused to budge.
Ning Ning pondered: "What if the umbrella behind him is knocked down?"
"What do you mean?"
"Both threats and inducements are useless, which means he is fearless. If the reason he is fearless has been destroyed, can he still be so arrogant?"
Queen Mother Shang's eyes lit up slightly: "Interesting, tell me more."
"In terms of layout, Qingyun Zuoqi is superior to me. It would be a bit presumptuous for me to discuss the details. I can only offer one idea. Please don't laugh at me.
In my opinion, it would not matter even if Liu Yanzhou remained silent. After all, breaking down his psychological defenses and getting a confession from him is a lowly method.
What we really need to do is to completely block the news about Liu Yanzhou, and release some false news from time to time. The people behind Liu Yanzhou will naturally get restless. When the people behind him reveal their true colors, we can catch them in the trap and catch them all in one fell swoop. This is the best strategy."
After Ning Ning finished speaking, Queen Mother Shang smiled: "She is indeed a smart girl."
As she spoke, she looked at Shang Wenqi next to her: "Aqi, do you know what to do?"
"Yes."
Shang Wenqi raised his hand, clasped his fist, and nodded respectfully.
Queen Mother Shang leaned against the cushion and adjusted her sitting posture leisurely: "Ning Zhongyi's daughter Ning Ning is quite courageous and smart. Not only did she find strong evidence for your father within the specified time, but she was also able to give me advice.
I never thought that a small place like Qizhou could raise a wonderful person like you."
"Your Excellency, I am so honored by your praise. I do not deserve it."
"What reward do you want."
Ning Ning thought to herself, please give me mountains of gold and silver, I don’t mind any more.
But in the end, it was just her inner beeping. On the surface, she still bowed respectfully: "This subject does not ask for reward, but only for clearing Daddy's name and restoring his innocence in the world."
"He is a filial son."
Queen Mother Shang nodded and said, "What you have found is indeed enough to prove your father's innocence. Your performance has also exceeded my expectations. To be honest, I admire you very much.
I promise you that once this matter is over, I will clear your father's name.
But... this matter cannot be resolved now, after all, the 100,000 taels of gold have not been found yet."
"Your Excellency's meaning is..."
"You have to help me find the person behind this, and also find 100,000 taels of gold." Queen Mother Shang did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
Ning Ning frowned. It was gold again.
If she knew where the 100,000 taels of gold were, would she still be so humble? She would have come up with the gold and made a scene long ago.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the case of the hundred thousand taels of gold was a hot potato that not only involved court ministers but might also be related to the royal family.
Whoever touches it will die.
"Although I really want to share your worries, I am only a weak woman after all. I was lucky to get into Lord Liu's mansion. I don't have any greater ability. Please understand me."
"I can give you power, and I can also give you people." Queen Mother Shang said generously.
Ning Ning was stunned and looked up at the Queen Mother in disbelief.
"The position of the Gold Officer in Minzhou is vacant. If you agree to take this case, I can make you the first female Gold Officer in Daliang. I can even dispatch a team from the Qingyun Left Cavalry to protect you."
