Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 214 She must avenge her past humiliation

Late at night, the three siblings of the Duan family were worried. They looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do.

The fourth young master Duan looked worried, "Third brother, what exactly does Ning Zhiwei want to do?"

No matter how dumb he was, he knew that something was wrong. Ning Zhiwei actually asked everyone to recognize their master and kill those who refused. The bloody scene still makes him shudder when he thinks about it.

"Her ambitions are too big. How can the seven cities in the northwest satisfy her?" How could there be such a person in this world?

Duan Xinyu's mood was indescribably complicated. "Could it be that she really wants to become the ruler of the Northwest? Has she forgotten that she is a woman?"

How could a woman be so ambitious? It was beyond her imagination. She thought that being the mistress of the Ning family and controlling the power of the Ning family was already the limit, but Ning Zhiwei wanted to be the master of the northwest. Was she crazy?

Young Master Duan opened his mouth and suppressed the ridiculous thought. It was impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Write to grandfather and let him judge."

There was a reason why my grandfather was so wary of her.

Duan Xinyu rolled her eyes and said, "I have an idea."

"You said."

Duan Xinyu looked strange, "The Governor of Gansu and Shaanxi is Rong Jing, and he is in charge of the civil affairs of the Northwest region. That is to say, Ning Zhiwei and his interests are in conflict. Why not let Rong Jing and Ning Zhiwei fight each other, and we will sit back and watch the fight."

"Rong Jing and Ning Zhiwei have a very good relationship, and it is possible that they have already formed an alliance." What Young Master Duan didn't say was that the relationship between these two people was not simple.

Duan Xinyu curled her lips. She felt extremely uncomfortable when she thought about kneeling down to Ning Zhiwei and acknowledging her master.

She was a famous noble lady in the capital, and she only knelt before elders such as the Emperor and the Empress. But today, she was forced to acknowledge the master by having her head pressed down!

She must avenge herself.

"No matter how good the relationship is, it means nothing in the face of interests and overwhelming power. I don't believe Rong Jing can tolerate a woman competing with him for power."

Fourth Young Master Duan agreed, "Alliances are meant to be torn apart at any time. Third Brother, go contact Rong Jing."

Duan Xinyu said confidently, "I will put more effort into Ning Qishao. The most important thing right now is to cure Ning Qishao's health and push him out to compete for the position of the head of the Ning family. No matter how powerful Ning Zhiwei is, she is just a woman and cannot defeat the men of the Ning family."

"I have already inquired about it. All the famous doctors I consulted said that I couldn't sit up because my lower body was paralyzed. However, after the imperial physician came, I was able to sit up. Grandfather, please send a few more imperial physicians."

Young Master Duan was in a state of confusion. He had already felt the threat from Ning Zhiwei. "Okay, I'll mention it in the letter."

Meanwhile, the main courtyard was brightly lit, and the women were all there, looking dazed.

Old Madam Ning sat drinking tea with an inexplicable look on her face.

The fourth lady spoke cautiously, "Madam, Xiaowu has made too much noise. I'm worried that it will alert the court. We have finally settled down..."

Madam Ning sighed silently, "If she dares to do this, she will naturally consider the consequences. Trust her."

Madam Ning witnessed the whole process and was deeply shocked. "She killed people when she said so. She was able to laugh and talk in front of the corpse. She is indeed a general of the Ning family. She is different."

"She has been to the battlefield, killed enemies, and seen blood. She is different from ordinary girls in the boudoir."

The Third Young Master's wife asked softly, "Madam, what on earth does she want to do?"

Madam Ning said calmly, "No matter what she wants to do, she is a member of the Ning family. If she gets hurt, no one will survive. So just follow her firmly. We have no other choice."

Everyone was silent. That was the truth. They had been bound to Ning Zhiwei for a long time. They were in the same boat and would either live together or die together.

On the other side, the three family heads gathered together with complicated expressions. They had previously discussed together how to take down the Ning family army.

But, the words were still ringing in my ears, and someone had already died.

I have to say, things are unpredictable.

Patriarch Du looked around in confusion, feeling uneasy, "Are we just going to accept our fate?"

The head of the Lian family sneered, "Of course it's impossible, but this is her territory, so be careful and cautious, and don't follow in his footsteps."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and the head of the Du family quickly interrupted, "Let's discuss it after we go back. Hey, my eight million dan of grain, why are you raising the price for no reason?"

"Isn't there anything we can do about it? If we don't satisfy her, she won't let us go."

Patriarch Yu sighed softly, "The Ning family has produced an extraordinary figure. The rise of the Ning family is unstoppable."

"Ning Zhiwei, I finally learned from you."

This night is destined to make countless people sleepless.

Only Ning Zhiwei was not affected. He fell asleep immediately and slept soundly.

Shaoyao looked at her sleeping form and sighed softly.

Soon, the people who had searched the Zheng family came back, and an endless stream of food, gold, silver and jewelry were sent into the city. The people felt relieved to see this.

If faced with natural disasters or man-made disasters, the city lord will definitely not watch them starve to death.

The young camp brought the things they had copied to Ning Zhiwei, "Master, here are more than 300 dan of gold, silver and jewelry. Ten million dan of grain has been sent to the military camp, another ten million dan has been sent to the grain farm, and one thousand dan has been sent to the city to replenish the government warehouse."

"These are the land deeds of the Zheng family." There were two large boxes, all of which were copied by the Zheng family. The wealth of their family was astonishing.

Ning Zhiwei picked it up and looked at it carefully. Eighty percent of the land in Luocheng belonged to the Zheng family. So, how did the people make a living? They could only work as hired farmers for the Zheng family and had no personal freedom.

The most terrifying thing is that the aristocratic families do not pay taxes on their land, not a single penny.

But taxes to the government must still be paid, and they can only be borne by the common people, who will be taxed crazily and forced to sell their children.

This is one of the reasons why people are living in poverty.

When the people can no longer survive, they will rise up in rebellion and the world will be in chaos.

The local areas are so corrupt, don’t the court know about it? Don’t the ministers know about it? How can they still be in the mood to fight for power and profit?

The world is about to end! Chaos is coming!

Ning Liu was dumbfounded. "Oh my god, the Zheng family has annexed too much land. The entire Luo City is under the control of the Zheng family."

We have to get rid of the aristocratic families.

"This is the deed to the shop." Another full box.

Seventy percent of the stores in Luocheng are owned by the Zheng family, which can be called Half City. The Zheng family is the uncrowned king of Luocheng, and even the county magistrate of Luocheng has to listen to them.

Ning Si stared at it in a daze, as if thinking about something.

"City Lord, I finally understand why you want to confiscate the Zheng family. As long as they are not eliminated, you will not be able to control Luo City."

But there are still three families left. How to deal with them? We can't just kill them all, because that would make people unstable.

Ning Zhiwei gently stroked the deed, her brows slightly drooping, "I haven't got what I really want yet, let's take it step by step."

Ning Liu was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously, "Ah, what do you want?"
