When Ji Yun saw that her master's family had been bullied by people like Cao Guozhang, she almost wanted to kill him.
When she heard Qin Yining's question, her eyes lit up with excitement. She whispered, "Young Lady, as long as you say the word, I will make a move tonight. I will definitely kill that old thing!"
Qin Yining didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Assassination?"
"Yes, assassination!" Ji Yun gritted her teeth. "For this kind of scourge, how many more lives can be saved if he dies a day earlier?!"
"That's not appropriate." Qin Yining shook her head and said, "Let's not talk about how many guards Cao Guozhang has around him. You might not be able to succeed and might even lose your life. Let's talk about what happens after you kill him? "
Ji Yun was stunned by Qin Yining's question and shook her head.
"Killing him is not the end of the matter. The Demon Empress is still around, the incapable ruler is still around, and the descendants of the Cao Family are still around. There might be a successor of Cao Guozhang among them. What if the successor of Cao Guozhang is even worse than him? At the very least, I already have a good understanding of this Cao Guozhang. If I were to face a new opponent, I would have to spend time to get to know him better. In that case, I might as well think of a way to wipe them all out, don't you think? "
Ji Yun nodded in agreement and followed Qin Yining for a few steps. She suddenly stopped and said, "Young Lady, you said to take drastic measures earlier, and now you say to wipe them all out … Could it be that you want to wipe out the entire Cao Family?"
Qin Yining didn't deny it.
In fact, she didn't only want to wipe out the Cao Family, but also the Demon Empress and the incapable ruler!
Although to her, as a citizen of the Dayan Dynasty, wanting to kill the incapable ruler was treason, the incapable ruler was tyrannical.
Not to mention the common people suffering, even her father was trampled into the dust and couldn't turn over a new leaf.
Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh.
Her thoughts now were probably in line with her grandmother and the people of the Qingtian Alliance.
On the other hand, Qin Yining's calm demeanor made it seem as if all they were discussing was what dishes to eat and what flowers to embroider.
The Cao family was very powerful, and the relationships in the imperial court were very complicated. Even Qin Huaiyuan was suppressed. Qin Yining was still an unmarried girl. Ji Yun really couldn't think of any way to deal with Qin Yining.
But for some reason, even though she didn't know what Qin Yining was going to do, Ji Yun still felt that as long as Qin Yining said it, it would definitely be done.
"There aren't many good people in the Cao family. What should be destroyed must be destroyed. If only Little Wang Ye was here. It wouldn't be a problem for him to bring his troops and flatten their house. "
Bing Tang nodded as he listened. "That's right. If Little Wang Ye were here, would he allow the Cao family to be so impudent? He would have slapped them long ago! Even the dog emperor was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Little Wang Ye. How could the Cao family be more important than the emperor? "
Qin Yining gently squeezed Ji Yun's and Bing Tang's hands. "Don't say such things in the future. The situation is getting more and more tense, so we can't let our guard down."
"Yes." Bing Tang and Ji Yun both realized that what they said just now might bring trouble to Qin Yining, so they kept quiet.
Qin Yining said in a low voice, "Although it's true that a strong person can defeat ten skilled people, we still have to live our lives. There's no need to hurt the jade bottle just to beat the mouse. Sometimes, it's not hard to use your brain to solve problems. "
"That's because the young lady is smart enough." Bing Tang said in a low voice, "Don't tell me you think that anyone can do that?"
Qin Yining burst out laughing.
He thought for a moment and said, "Tell them to prepare the carriage. We're going to Prince Ning's residence."
"Prince Ning's residence?" Bing Tang asked in surprise. "The young lady and Prince Ning have only met once before. Are you going to help the marquis ask for help?"
"Yes. Although we've only met once, we have to think of a way to try. " Qin Yining said, "After thinking about it, other than Prince Ning, there's no need to consider anyone else who has a sense of justice, is willing to worry about the rise and fall of this country, and has enough weight to speak in front of the emperor."
"Although that's the case, Prince Ning is not a simple person. How can the young lady persuade him with just a few words?" Bing Tang knew Prince Ning very well.
Qin Yining smiled and shook his head. He said, "I can't be sure of anything, but the only thing we can do now is to ask Prince Ning for help. My father has been suppressed to the point that he doesn't even have a chance to talk back. We need someone to speak for my father in the imperial court. Even if they can't persuade the emperor to change his mind, at least they can't let the Cao family say whatever they want to confuse the emperor's judgment. "
"Prince Ning is a hot-blooded man. Although he has some small problems, he's upright and knows how to repay kindness. He's someone who can be entrusted with this matter."
Ji Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Young Lady, do you want to send an invitation first and arrange a time to visit him tomorrow? As for the marquis, don't you want to discuss it with him? "
Qin Yining waved his hand and said, "If I send an invitation, I probably won't be able to see Prince Ning. Prince Ning is so slippery. He's afraid of getting into trouble and will only refuse to see our Family Qin. If I suddenly go there, I might have a chance. I won't discuss it with my father for the time being. If I don't do my job well, it has nothing to do with my family. It's something I did on my own. If my father finds out, it will be troublesome. Once something goes wrong, it won't be that simple. "
Bing Tang and Ji Yun laughed when they heard this. "I knew that this lady's brain isn't simple. She's actually so thoughtful."
"You two are so talkative." Qin Yining chuckled.
Qin Yining left with Bing Tang and Ji Yun in a car. After thinking for a while, he didn't go straight to the prince's residence. Instead, he called for Master Zhong.
Master Zhong was very experienced and had a wide network of connections. With him around, Qin Yining would have one more person to discuss the matter with.
On the carriage, the four of them had already analyzed the possible reactions that Ning Wang would have in a low voice.
Qin Yining also thought of several excuses to ask Prince Ning for help. He even decided that if it really didn't work out, he would use the trick of injuring himself to gain Prince Ning's favor no matter what.
The carriage kept moving forward, getting closer and closer to Prince Ning's Mansion.
Qin Yining lifted the curtains and looked outside. He saw that the back garden and side alley of Prince Ning's Mansion were not far away. Strangely, there were two figures gathered at the corner gate of Prince Ning's Mansion's back garden.
It was a young man and woman. The man was wearing an ordinary cotton robe. He was about 25 or 26 years old and was very thin. Because they were too far away, Qin Yining couldn't see his face clearly. However, from his temperament, he could feel that this person was somewhat dispirited and stooped.
The woman beside him was about 21 or 22 years old. She was wearing a light green robe that only female officials in Prince Ning's Mansion wore. Her outer robe was pink and pinched her teeth to match her armor.
As the woman and the man talked, they hugged each other. First, they hugged, then kissed. Then, they whispered a few words to each other. Qin Yining saw the woman take out a cloth bundle from her bosom. She weighed the bundle and gave it to the man.
At this time, the carriage was slowly approaching. If it went any further, they would be alerted. Qin Yining quietly ordered the coachman to stop the carriage.
The man stuffed the bundle into his bosom. Then, he hugged the woman and kissed her. Only then did he leave in a fluster.
The woman carefully checked to see if there was anyone else nearby. After confirming that she was safe, she went through the corner gate.
Qin Yining narrowed his eyes and said, "Head shopkeeper, I'll have to trouble you to help me find out what that maidservant and that man do and what their relationship is."
Master Zhong nodded. "That won't be difficult. We know people here. We'll know once we ask. "
