Steward Ding led a few good men and rode to Ma Kaicheng's house. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw several people lying on the ground. His expression suddenly changed and he stepped forward quickly. These people were sent by the Left Prime Minister to monitor Ma Kaicheng. He hurriedly led people to search, but the Ma family was already empty, and not a single ghost was found. Butler Ding asked someone to wake up an unconscious person. "what happened?" The latter looked confused, shook his head and said: "You know!" "I don't know?" Butler Ding's voice rose an octave, "I don't know how you fainted?" "We were ordered to secretly monitor Ma Kaicheng, but we were attacked out of nowhere. When we woke up, we were here."
Butler Ding looked ugly, "A bunch of trash, what's the point of raising you?" "Steward Ding, spare your life, Steward Ding...huh? What is this?" When the latter begged for mercy, he suddenly noticed something was wrong with his chest. He stretched out his hand and found a letter. There are four big characters written on the envelope: Zuo Xiangqing Qi! Butler Ding took the letter back, handed it to the left prime minister, and explained the situation. Prime Minister Zuo opened the letter, and when he saw the contents of the letter clearly, he grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground, breaking it into pieces. This valuable tea cup did not escape the fate of being shattered into pieces. The left prime minister's face was extremely ugly, his chest was rising and falling violently, and he was breathing heavily. He threw the letter to Butler Ding. Butler Ding took it and after reading it, his eyes contracted violently. There are not many words in the letter, but the words are like knives, making people shudder. The content is: Mr. Zuo Xiang, Ma Kaicheng has taken me away. I heard that Mr. Zuo Xiang has a close private relationship with King Zuoting of Tuoluo Kingdom. I wonder if Your Majesty knows about this? Ning Chen went to the north, and if he returned in triumph, Ma Kaicheng disappeared from the world. If Ning Chen is in trouble, Ma Kaicheng will appear in front of His Majesty... Please think again, Mr. Zuo Xiang! That's all there is to the letter, and there's no signature. Prime Minister Zuo stared at Butler Ding with cold eyes, because few people knew about what was written in the letter. Butler Ding noticed the look in Zuo Xiang's eyes, turned pale with fright, and fell to his knees on the ground: "The Prime Minister clearly knows that he is definitely not a slave... If anything happens to the Prime Minister, the slave will not escape the death penalty."
Zuo Xiang had a cold face and said nothing, his eyes flickering. After a while, he slowly said: "Get up." Butler Ding stood up tremblingly. "Who do you think might have done this?" Butler Ding thought for a moment and said, "Could it be the Supervision Department?" Prime Minister Zuo shook his head, "It can't be the Supervision Department... If the Supervision Department did it, the people responsible for monitoring Ma Kaicheng wouldn't be able to escape, let alone leave this letter." Butler Ding thought it was right. If the Supervision Department knew that the prime minister was connected with Prince Zuo Ting, he would have asked for an order to bring people to search the house. Prime Minister Zuo said with a gloomy face: "This person's purpose is to protect Ning Chen. He must be someone who is very close to this bastard." Butler Ding asked, "Could it be the prince? I heard that the ninth princess is also very close to Ning Chen." The left prime minister glanced at him and said, "Are you a pig? If you are the prince, why do you need to go to such trouble?" "Master Prime Minister, could he be the Right Prime Minister?" "No, if it is the right minister... this letter will become a memorial and appear on His Majesty's Dragon Case." Butler Ding wondered: "Who could it be?" Prime Minister Zuo shook his head and said: "It's possible for anyone. There are too many people who want to see the truth fall!" Butler Ding's eyes suddenly flashed and he hesitated to speak. The Prime Minister Zuo said in a deep voice: "Say, it's already this time, what else can't be said?" Butler Ding hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Xiang, I just want to think of someone." "who?" "Master Ning." Prime Minister Zuo looked at him sharply, "Ning Ziming? Why did you think of him?" "Master Ning has been working for the Prime Minister. He knows a lot. Moreover, Ning Chen is his bloodline, so he has this motive." Zuo Xiang sneered. "It can't be him. This person is greedy for power, loves vanity, has a cold nature, and is actually very weak at heart... He is just a puppet controlled by his true nature." "Furthermore, he doesn't know about my connection with Prince Zuo Ting." Butler Ding shook his head, "The servant really can't think of who it is?" "Whoever it is? This person must be found out... This person is like a sharp sword hanging over the head of the prime minister. It may fall down at any time and kill the prime minister." "If I fall, none of you will be able to escape!" Butler Ding said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will do my best to find this person."
"Master Xiang, over there with Prince Zuoting..." Prime Minister Zuo waved his hand and said: "Proceed as planned... Ning Chen has Old General Chen by his side, and he is favored by His Majesty. He is also the Silver Yi of the Supervision Department. We can no longer allow him to grow up." "If he comes back alive this time and has military exploits, with His Majesty's favor towards him, it is possible that he will become a general and a marquis... If this is the case, it will be difficult to kill him again." Butler Ding's face was full of worry, "Master, if Ningchen is dead, the person who wrote the letter..." The Prime Minister Zuo waved his hand, interrupted him, and said confidently: "The person who wrote the letter should not know much. If he has enough evidence, he does not need to threaten the truth at all. He can directly submit the evidence to His Majesty, or hand it over to the Supervision Department. , can kill the truth." "As for Ma Kaicheng, he is just a small person. Even if he is brought before His Majesty... Zhang Yuancang is dead. Without evidence, Your Majesty will not believe his words." "So, in the north, everything is going according to the original plan." "Also, the one who wants to protect Ning Chen must be someone close to him...Give that person a message and ask him to help find out. After all, if the prime minister falls, it won't do him any good." Butler Ding bowed, "Yes, I'll do it right away!" ...... On the other side, Ning Chen was still floating on the water. He stood on the deck, facing the wind. He didn't know that his plan had gone wrong. His original plan was to have Geng Jing send someone to keep an eye on Ma Kaicheng. If the left prime minister wanted to silence him, he would save Ma Kaicheng...If the left prime minister didn't mean to do so, he would keep his troops in place. Unfortunately, when Geng Jing sent someone to arrive, Ma Kaicheng's family had already disappeared. Someone's action was one step ahead of Ning Chen's plan. "General Ning, it's time to eat!" Wu Tiezhu came to call Ning Chen to eat. Ning Chen was a general appointed by His Majesty. From the moment he boarded this warship, he was a soldier of Daxuan...So the name of Ning Chen was also changed. Ning Chen looked back, "Fish again?" Wu Tiezhu nodded, "Yes!" Ning Chen smiled bitterly. The soldiers didn't bring much rations, so they saved as much as possible. They had fish for every meal these days. The fish in the river tastes delicious, but no matter how delicious it is, you can't eat it every day. Ning Chen came to a room. Pan Yucheng and others were already seated, waiting for Ning Chen to eat. Seeing Ning Chen come in, everyone hurriedly stood up to greet him. Everyone is familiar with each other, but rules are rules. "Sit down!" Ning Chen walked over and sat down, pressing his hands.
"Use your chopsticks! We will arrive in Chenzhou in a few days, and I will treat everyone to a good meal then."
