Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

More than a month of continuous travel and hard work have made Xie Mingan's profile more profound and handsome.

The emperor quickly asked: "What's the matter?"

Xie Mingan lowered his head and said, "When I went to investigate the fire, I did not find any trace of man-made arson."

Shen Ningning frowned slightly when she heard this.

So, it wasn’t someone setting fire to someone maliciously, but it was really an accident?

When Mo Lingwei saw the little guy standing, he was afraid that she would be tired, so he simply took her little hand, led her to the prince's chair, and sat down together.

Xie Mingan saw it from the corner of his eye and his eyebrows jumped.

I was just about to remind Shen Ningning to come down quickly, but unexpectedly, the emperor turned a blind eye, as if he was used to it.

He also urged Xie Ming'an: "Continue talking, what next? What did you find?"

Xie Mingan withdrew his gaze, cupped his hands and said, "I discovered that the sweet potato vines raised by Mr. Zhang Liu were not completely burned. There was one person who protected one of the vines and carefully preserved it."

"After I left, she took the initiative to donate the sweet potato vine."

Shen Ningning's dark and moist eyes flickered: "Is this person Xie Yuanjiu?"

When Xie Mingan spoke, she had a premonition.

Earlier, Shen Ningning heard from Mr. Xie that Xie Yuanjiu went from his hometown in Changzhou to Nanzhou next door.

Along the way she helped the poor.

Xie Mingan's eyes were calm and he nodded: "It's her."

The emperor frowned in surprise: "Why is she there?"

"It's a coincidence that she and Miss Jia's family, a prominent local family in Nanzhou, had been opening a tent to give porridge to the people on the day of the incident."

"When the fire broke out, they were the first to see the thick smoke, so they hurried over. However, when they arrived, the fire was so dangerous that Chen's cousin Xie Si could only save a plant outside the warehouse that was not growing particularly well. The sweet potato vine survived.”

"Before I left, she didn't know how to deal with the vine. She was even more afraid that someone would cause trouble for her, so she never dared to speak out."

Shen Ningning stared slightly.

There was a serious expression on the milky white face.

It was about Xie Yuanjiu, and she wouldn't believe a word of it.

The little guy was really scared of being deceived by Xie Yuanjiu.

What's more, this matter is really full of doubts.

Shen Ningning felt that Xie Yuanjiu seemed to know that the imperial court would definitely send an imperial envoy.

The emperor was silent for a moment and couldn't help but nodded.

"She did a good thing unintentionally."

Mo Lingwei knew that Shen Ningning didn't like her, so he naturally didn't have a nice tone towards Xie Yuanjiu.

He sneered: "What kind of good thing is this? It's not like I saved the lives of Mr. Zhang Liu and the others."

"Everyone is dead, so what does it mean that she gave the sweet potato vine to the court?"

Xie Mingan lowered his head and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, the emperor shook his head and said gently to Mo Lingwei: "This child has done a good thing after all."

Then, the emperor looked at Xie Mingan: "Since she is your cousin, tell me, what should I reward her with?"

Xie Mingan was silent for a moment.

He said: "My cousin asked me to plead with the Emperor, and beg the Emperor to allow her to go home and accompany my second aunt to celebrate the New Year."

The emperor was startled, and then he came to his senses.

"I did hear that she did something wrong, and your father, Prime Minister Xie, sent her back to her hometown to reflect."

Shen Ningning pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask: "Is this the only result of this matter?"

It's so ridiculous.

Not a single clue was found about the fire.

On the contrary, he learned that Xie Yuanjiu had done a good deed and wanted to save her back.

Xie Mingan looked at Shen Ningning with dark eyes: "There is only one result now."

Mo Lingwei said to the emperor: "Father, Xie Si's affairs are, after all, Xie's family affairs. Even if you want a reward, you shouldn't interfere in other people's housework."

The emperor nodded thoughtfully.

He thought for a while and said: "Send this news to Prime Minister Xie and let him make a decision."

Later, the emperor left Mo Lingwei to discuss government affairs, and said to Shen Ning Ningwen: "Ning Ning, we now have Dong Sanhua who is responsible for planting and cultivating sweet potato vines."

"Perhaps Mr. Zhang Liu from Nanzhou is really too imprudent. Don't be too sad about this, let alone blame yourself. I won't blame you."

"Okay, you all go back and rest."

Mo Lingwei put a jade sign in Shen Ningning's hand and asked her to come to the palace to find him tomorrow.

After that, Shen Ningning left the imperial study room.

In the biting cold wind, the little guy had a fair and pink face, with a bit of cold seriousness.

"Shen Ningning." Xie Mingan chased after him from behind.

The little guy just pretended not to hear and walked all the way to the sedan.

"I have something to tell you!" Xie Mingan opened the curtain, with a frown on his handsome face.

Shen Ningning raised her watery eyes and looked at him: "Xie Shaoqing, with your ability, you only found these. I'm really disappointed."

Xie Mingan gritted his teeth, lifted the curtain and squeezed in.

The car, which was originally not very big, was so crowded by him that Shen Ningning's small body had to press against the car wall on the side!

She angrily waved her little pink fist and hit it twice: "Get down! You are going to crush the child to death!"

However, Xie Mingan picked her up and let the little one sit on his lap like a sister.

The palace maid lifted the curtain and looked at them doubtfully: "Princess, Sir Xie Shaoqing, do you...do you want me to bring you a big sedan?"

Xie Mingan shook his head and urged in a cold voice: "No, just leave the palace."

His slender white palms covered Shen Ningning's little mouth, and the angry little guy kept kicking his legs.

Wait for the sedan to start moving.

Xie Mingan said in her ear: "Things are not as simple as what I told the emperor."

"I made a major discovery. Mr. Zhang Liu may not be dead."

Shen Ningning suddenly stopped struggling and raised her watery eyes to look at him.

Xie Ming'an let go.

He said calmly: "After I went to Nanzhou, the first thing I did was to conduct an autopsy."

Xie Ming'an was a widower, and he could confirm the cause of death and identity without changing a look, let alone a burnt corpse, even a corpse soaked in water and turned into a floating bag.

"The fire burned down the entire granary used to cultivate sweet potato vines, and there were a total of fourteen corpses inside. According to the survivors' confessions, one of them must be Mr. Zhang Liu."

"But after I visited and inquired around, I learned that Mr. Zhang Liu's right little finger had been missing since he was a child. But when I checked the corpses, I found that a section of bone was missing."

"Also, I found a particularly narrow hole in the corner of the rice warehouse with black fingerprints on it. I suspect that Mr. Zhang Liu got out of the hole after the incident."

Shen Ningning's eyes flickered, and her voice was soft and full of doubts: "But, why didn't he show up after the fire was put out?"

Xie Mingan lowered his voice: "He doesn't dare."

"Master Zhang Liu must have realized that someone was trying to kill him."

"That's why I didn't report the truth to the emperor immediately because I was afraid of alerting the enemy."

"Although I'm back this time, I've left my manpower and eyeliners there."

"I also left clues for Mr. Zhang Liu. If he is smart, he will know how to use it and come to Beijing to find you smoothly."

Shen Ningning nodded.

The little guy frowned again: "Planting sweet potato vines is an order personally given by the emperor's uncle."

"Master Zhang Liu and his group have great prestige in Nanzhou, and the people know that what they grow is life-saving food for the world, and most people will not kill him simply for the sake of making money. "

The more she thought about it, the more Shen Ningning felt that the person behind it was too scary.

Xie Mingan gently patted her shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'm investigating this matter and will definitely give you a result."

He said, lowering his eyes and looking at Shen Ningning who was deep in thought.

Xie Mingan has one more thing.

That is, on his way back, he heard from his confidants that one thing had been found out.

Shen Ningning's parents are not so-called farmers.

at the same time.

In the ancestral hall of Xie Mansion.

Mrs. Xie Er is devoutly wiping the incense stand and altar table.

She muttered: "Ancestors, my sinful wife has confessed to you, please calm down."

At this moment, she accidentally knocked over the tablet next to her.

With a "pop" sound, the tablet fell to the ground and fell into pieces!

Madam Xie turned pale with fright.

Her first reaction was to look back at the door.

Be sure not to be seen by the servants, otherwise, she is doomed!

Fortunately there was no one at the door.

Mrs. Xie quickly picked up the tablet.

When she saw that this was just an anonymous tablet made by Xie Suzhi for Shen Ningning's farmer parents, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they are not the ancestors of the Xie family!

"If I try to make it again if I get a chance, I probably won't be able to find it... Huh? Is this it?"

Madam Xie was about to put it away when she saw that there was a thin board with inscriptions on it in the mezzanine of the tablet.

She took it out and looked at it, and her eyes suddenly widened——

[My beloved wife contemplates the spiritual position]

Mrs. Xie Er could not believe what she saw.

This tablet was used by Shen Ningning to kneel down and worship her biological parents. How could it have such a contemplative name!

He even hid it specially.

Could it be...

Mrs. Xie Er thought of a possibility and suddenly looked shocked and covered her mouth.

Shen Ningning was originally Shen Siyi's lost daughter?
