C132 collusion (1/2)

Of course, all of this had nothing to do with Chu Qianye, he was currently at tranquilizing mind with his eyes closed, preparing to cultivate.

In the Ning Residence, however, there was a heavy atmosphere. Many officials did not dare to breathe as the Eyes looked at the man sitting on the seat.

This man was the manager of the Ning Residence, Ning Guoxuan. He was Ning Yifan's father.

Chishui Country had a very good position as a third rank official. Above the third rank, there were only first and second rank officials.

”My son was killed by a Sword Marquis Mansion disciple today.”

Ning Guoxuan looked around before replying with a slightly hoarse voice and a sorrowful expression.

The pain of losing his son had allowed him to go from grief and indignation to raging, and then from berserk to quietness, all the way until his current state.

”We are friends of life and death, you all know my character, I will never be able to swallow this resentment!” Ning Guoxuan immediately expressed his position.

The other officials felt a headache when they heard this.

Ning Guoxuan's words were very obvious, he couldn't swallow his anger no matter what. The rest of them naturally wouldn't watch on the sidelines, since they were, after all, an interest group.

The most important thing was to protect his iron rice bowl, and not make Ning Guoxuan unhappy, when that time came, his official position would be ruined.

”Minister Ning, I'm afraid this matter isn't easy to deal with. The Sword Marquis Mansion is one of the four great institutions of the county, and there must not be any conflicts between them. Those people shouldn't be provoked, the duke himself is a Fighter, so no matter what happens, he might not stand by our side.”

A civil servant stood up and said after a slight hesitation.

The others nodded slightly upon hearing his words.

There was no helping it, the four great institutions were the most solemn ones. Not to mention officials like them, even officials of the first rank would not dare to rashly provoke them.

Ning Guoxuan looked at the official, neither sad nor happy.

”Wei Yuan, you should have already thought of a countermeasure.”

After a long while, Ning Guoxuan asked indifferently.

The official nodded slightly.

”The death of your son was not entirely due to Chu Qianye.” The official named Wei Yuan said, ”Perhaps there are some people who are trying to make things difficult. If Minister Ning can build a good relationship with the Seventh Prince, this matter might not be impossible.”

”Wei Yuan, we're all on the same side here, so you don't need to go too far. Just say it directly.” Ning Guoxuan said.

Wei Yuan said: ”Chu Qianye followed The eighth prince.”

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the first sentence.

Every year, the battles between the various dynasties and generations, the battles between the Crown Prince s, were unavoidable.

”The His Highness the Seventh Prince has a lot of power now, and if we get the favor of a duke, we will most likely become the Crown Prince in the future. If we follow him, this matter with Chu Qianye would be easy to handle.” Wei Yuan said lightly, ”As long as we have the His Highness the Seventh Prince supporting us, are we afraid of the academy?”

After all, the crown prince was a member of the imperial family with considerable authority. The four great institutions all listened to his commands, and the weight the Seventh Prince had towards the duke was as light as light.

As long as Ning Guoxuan followed His Highness the Seventh Prince, they would not have to worry about the academy.

Ning Guoxuan revealed a pondering expression.
