Chapter 173 Whoever dares to go against me will end up like Lu Laothie
Lu Fu gritted his teeth, his mind racing. He didn't believe that Ning Zhiwei would dare to kill all of the Lu family. "Jingning County Lady, it's not that I don't want to hand it over, but I don't have it with me."
Ning Zhiwei looked at him steadily, and Lu Fu felt a pressure that made him breathless.
"Okay, Chunsheng, take a group of people to search the Lu Mansion. Don't kill anyone unless they resist."
In other words, killing is allowed.
"Yes." Chunsheng led his men out with high morale, as fast as the wind.
Lu Fu's heart sank. Confiscation? Then how could he keep his property? "Jingning County Lady, you are not qualified to do this. I am an official appointed by the court. Only the emperor has the right to confiscate my Lu family. Are you trying to rebel?"
Just as he said this, a white light flashed, blood splattered, and Lu Fu let out a shrill scream, "Ah."
He stared in disbelief as his arm fell to the ground, his whole body trembling, and a huge fear surged up like a tide.
There was a lot of screaming at the scene and the officials were all terrified. Oh my God, the subordinates of Jingning County Lord were so cruel that they would chop people down if they disagreed with something.
Princess Jingning remained calm and said with a smile, "Oh, I'm sorry, my men were reckless and impulsive."
But, it just won’t change.
Lu Fu was terrified. It was the first time he was afraid of a woman. How could she face such a bloody scene without changing her expression? "I will give it to you. I will give it to you. Don't kill me. The official seal is in my study."
"What about you?" Ning Zhiwei looked at the others.
An official immediately took out the official seal and held it in front of Ning Zhiwei with both hands. "It is safer to leave the official seal with Princess Jingning. Thank you for keeping it for me."
Everyone glared at him at the same time, calling him a bastard.
However, they reacted quickly. Those who had official seals and military power handed them over, and those who didn't told where they were hidden. Ning Zhiwei then directly ordered his men to get them.
"Ning Xiaohu, Luo Sanniu, Fang Ping, Ji Changan."
These included the old members of the Ning family that she brought from the northwest, as well as the veterans from Qingluo Villa, with half of each group being used to check and balance each other.
Four people stepped out, "Subordinates are here."
"Each of you take your military tokens and go subdue the garrisons. Do not let them mutiny."
"Yes."
Ning Zhiwei played with Lu Yuanguang's seal of the commander-in-chief, which could dispatch all the troops in Mingzhou.
"Please stay in Lu's mansion for now and wait until everything calms down before leaving."
"Princess Jingning, my wife and daughter..." An official hesitated.
"Don't worry, I won't touch the women. If you have anything to say, tell Mr. Zhou." Ning Zhiwei raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Zhou, I leave this to you."
"Yes." Zhou Hongye was unusually respectful.
Ning Zhiwei took the seal of the commander and left, heading to where the women were being held.
A group of pampered women were terrified when they suddenly encountered such a thing.
Marshal Lu's family was also among them. His favorite concubine, Li, had lost her usual dignity and was trembling as she held her two biological daughters.
"Mother, I'm so scared. How will the Jingning County Lord deal with us?"
"We didn't do anything, why did you lock us up? Why don't we rush out together? The law doesn't punish everyone, she won't dare to kill us all."
Li had been the only one in charge of the family in the backyard for many years. Her son and two daughters were spoiled and became ignorant of the immensity of the world, naive and domineering.
Li felt bitter. Her husband was dead and her son was locked up. Was the Lu family going to be ruined? "Be quiet."
"Mother, don't be afraid. Ning Zhiwei is just a woman. How dare she kill someone?"
The door opened with a creak, and a crisp voice sounded. "What are you talking about?"
The arrogant voice just now immediately became timid, "No... we didn't talk about anything."
Ning Zhiwei was too lazy to argue with them, "Here are some pastries and tea. If you're hungry, you can fill your stomach."
"Tell my eldest sister if you have anything to say and she will make the arrangements."
"Everyone, please behave yourself. I don't like to kill people, but if anyone dares to go against me, they will end up like Old Thief Lu."
Everyone was silent.
After Ning Zhiwei left, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Miss Lu mustered up the courage to ask, "Miss Ning, has Princess Jingning always been like this?"
Ning Wenyin smiled slightly, very proud, "Yes, I have always been so kind and brave, responsible and loving."
Female relatives:……???
A lot of things happened in one night. Ning Zhiwei was very tired. He sat on the steps to rest, looking at the dawn, his mind racing.
A figure came over and sat next to her. "Why are you sitting here? Aren't you cold?"
It was Rong Jing. He touched Ning Zhiwei’s little hand. Hmm, it was warm.
But he was still worried, so he put the cloak on her.
Ning Zhiwei brushed aside her wind-blown hair, wrapped her cloak tightly around her, and her eyes were filled with fatigue. "Alas, there are too few people I can use, and I can't handle things when I encounter them."
Rong Jing felt distressed. She was too tired. "We have already controlled the situation. It just takes more time. What do you think? The court will definitely not agree to directly annex Mingzhou to the northwest."
Not only will they disagree, they will also send troops to suppress it. This is a big taboo.
Ning Zhiwei rubbed his brows and said, "Then we will support a puppet of the Lu family to take power, and we will secretly devour the power of the Lu family, and then merge with them when the time is right."
"We are going to send people to take over the several neighboring counties. We are determined to take over those mines."
Rong Jing hesitated for a moment, "That's fine too, who do you want to take over?"
Ning Zhiwei said without hesitation, "Mr. Zhou, he is resourceful and resourceful, and give him a military commander, Ning Xiaohu... Use him for the time being."
Rong Jing was stunned for a moment, "Is there something wrong with him?"
"He is a guard trained by the Ning family since childhood, and he is loyal to the Ning family." Ning Zhiwei is the head of the Ning family, so he will naturally listen. But, if there is a conflict of interest with the male members of the Ning family one day, who will he help?
It’s not that she doesn’t trust her Seventh Brother, but Ning Zhiwei likes to plan ahead and make arrangements in advance, so that even if such a day really comes, she will be able to escape unscathed.
Rong Jing looked at her deeply. She was thinking of setting up her own business. Mingzhou was the base she wanted to take over, where she could attack or defend.
As for the northwest, it depends on the situation. If Ning Qishao can take over, that would be the best. If the Ning family doesn't have someone to take charge, then she will have to do it alone.
"Let Chunsheng go too, so they can check and balance each other."
The Youth Camp is Ning Zhiwei's direct line and is loyal to her.
Ning Zhiwei smiled bitterly. All in all, they had only been with her for a year. "He has too little experience."
Rong Jing advised softly, "You have to be sent out to gain experience. Young people will learn their lesson after a few losses."
"That's fine." Ning Zhiwei's mind raced, "I want my elder sister to assist Mr. Zhou. They worked together perfectly in the capital. What do you think?"
She is a woman, and he doesn't mind letting a woman be in charge of a region, but Ning Wenyin is still not mature enough and lacks experience.
Rong Jing had no objection. "Ms. Ning is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. She is very methodical and thorough in her actions. She is also a member of the Ning family. She can control Ning Xiaohu at the critical moment. After all, Mr. Zhou's last name is not Ning."
"Correct."
At this moment, the servant came over and said, "Master, the old lady wants you to come over."
