Grind the Bones and Scatter the Ashes (Second Update)
Its daybreak.
There was silence in the Ning family, and the servants looked uneasy, with their heads lowered and their footsteps hurried.
The stewards of the Ning family in Xunyang City and the servants of the family gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and they were all silent.
Since the death of Mr. Ning, the only remaining bloodline of this large family, which has been almost swallowed up by people with other surnames, is finally back!
And even though it was a big family, this was the only one left.
Fortunately, Ning Feng and Ning Yao both wanted to occupy the Ning family's business, develop and advance to the next level, and never thought of destroying the Ning family.
Because over the years, although the Ning family is not as good as before, it has not declined. It is still among the four major merchants in Qian Kingdom.
The conflicts within the Ning family are caused by blood inheritance. A group of people who were once loyal to Mr. Ning saw Ning Feng's ambitions and suspected that Mr. Ning was being murdered by him. They wanted to support Ning Qingqing in seizing power and drive Ning Feng away. Unfortunately, Ning Qingqing was too stupid and turned around and came to Ning Feng. Selling those people away caused the Ning family to lose many capable managers.
However, there are also many people who do not approve of Ning Feng in their hearts, but choose to obey in order to survive. Now that they know that Ning Jing is back, they have expectations in their hearts.
"Seventh Young Master is here." Someone said.
Everyone turned around and saw Ning Jing walking alone out of the morning mist. He was wearing thin clothes, tall and tall, and his cold face looked like an immortal.
As he got closer, he saw something in Ning Jing's hand, which was a tablet.
Looking closer, the person who saw clearly what was written on the tablet looked horrified!
And tranquility passed through the crowd and entered the ancestral hall.
People outside could see that Ning Jing placed the tablet he brought under Mr. Ning and Ning Qingqing, and then lit up the incense.
"Why did the seventh young master set up his own memorial tablet..." An old steward couldn't help but speak.
Everyone else also looked puzzled.
Because the tablet reads "Spiritual Tablet of Peace", which is quite strange.
When Ning Jing turned around, the stewards and servants lined up and stood in line. Watching him come out, they said calmly, "The past Ning Jing is dead. From now on, I am the head of the Ning family."
Zhen Ningjing yearns for freedom and does not want to take over the Ning family business, and this has something to do with Ning Feng and Ning Yao's brainwashing of him.
The real Ning family is gone.
Peace is not done for the sake of true peace, but just to reduce trouble. Because as long as he uses this identity, he cannot break away from the Ning family.
"Master and Madam..." someone asked in a low voice.
They only knew that there was a fire in the courtyard of the house last night, but they didn't know where Ning Feng, Huamei, and their children had gone.
"In this family, there is no master, no wife, only me." Ning Jing looked indifferent, "Those people you are thinking of are never the Ning family. Last night Wan Feng personally confessed to the crime of murdering his grandfather and mother. Huamei and Their sons and daughters are knowing accomplices.”
Although everyone present had some speculations about these things, hearing Ning Jing say it so straightforwardly still made his heart tremble!
"They all went to the underworld to apologize to their mother." Ning Jing threw out another thunderous expression.
You know, among these people's previous knowledge, the Seventh Young Master is the most gentle and kind-hearted.
A year passed, and no one expected that Ning Jing would return again, with the attitude of a life-threatening Shura, and with one move, he would wipe out the entire family of the son-in-law and clean up the family for the Ning family.
Of course, there were people present who had followed Ning Feng and Ning Yao before, but since they were all gone, it was impossible for anyone to come out and challenge Ning Jing's authority in this family at this time.
Because from beginning to end, Ning Jing was the only legitimate heir of this family.
This is also the reason why those bad guys who have been planning for many years want to drive away Zhen Ningping and put him to death. When they learn that he is not dead, they rack their brains and use all means to hunt him down.
"In an hour, I want to see the policy and know the current business situation of the Ning family. I don't have to care about the past, but the Ning family does not leave waste." Ning Jing said coldly, "Go and prepare."
The stewards looked shocked and left in a hurry.
Ning Jing looked at the servants left behind, and finally his eyes fell on the housekeeper.
This is not the original butler when Mr. Ning was around, but a close confidant of Ning Feng. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his head hung low, and his face turned pale.
"I'll give you a task." Ning Jing said.
The housekeeper nodded immediately, "Yes, please give me your instructions, Master!"
"Go and throw the bones of Wan Feng, Huamei, and their children into mass graves, and raise the ashes for me!" Ning Jing said coldly.
The butler looked horrified, and the other servants were also frightened.
"Master, go during the day. If outsiders find out..." the housekeeper's voice was trembling.
"Go openly and honestly. If anyone asks, tell the truth." Ning Jing said.
The butler nodded with an ugly face, "Yes."
"Whoever wants to leave can pay a hundred taels of silver to the accountant and can leave today. If you are willing to stay, everything will remain as usual." Ning Jing said.
The Ning family is not short of money, and they don't need so many servants now. Ningjing gives them a choice.
After saying that, Ningjing left and went to the yard where Zhen Ningjing had lived since childhood.
It has only been a year and weeds have grown in the yard.
Ning Jing opened the door, dust was floating in the air.
He found water, cleaned the room where Zhen Ningping lived, removed the weeds in the yard, and then lay on the bed and slept.
The weather in Xunyang City is hazy today.
A group of young and strong servants walked out of the Ning family's mansion, all carrying poles and bamboo baskets. The housekeeper stood beside them with a sullen face.
Someone approached and saw the dark human bones in the bamboo building and screamed in fright.
Someone he knew asked the housekeeper what he was doing. He followed Ning Jing's instructions and told the truth that the real head of the Ning family had returned. The son-in-law Wan Feng and the poisonous woman Hua Mei, along with all their children, had murdered Mr. Ning and Ning Qingqing. The evidence was solid, and they had all committed suicide to apologize.
All the listeners were dumbfounded!
Wan Feng and Hua Mei, who came from a brothel, conspired to seize the Ning family's property. Everyone believed that they killed Mr. Ning and Ning Qingqing, and many people had suspected it.
But if you say that the poisonous couple committed suicide with their children to apologize, no one would believe it!
Almost everyone who heard it thought that this was Ning Jing coming back for revenge, and they were all killed by Ning Jing! Who would commit suicide to apologize and choose to burn themselves with their children? The bones were burned black!
"Where are the bones going to be sent?" someone asked.
The housekeeper said, "According to the master's order, throw all the remains of these bastards into the mass grave, and scatter their ashes!"
...
Along with the Ning family's group heading to the mass grave, Ning Jing returned and took revenge with thunderous means. It was not enough to kill those who harmed the Ning family. Even their remains would be thrown into the mass grave and their ashes would be scattered. The shocking news spread in Xunyang City at lightning speed.
Some people said that no matter whether Wan Feng or Ning Feng, they were Ning Jing's biological father, and he was too cruel.
Some people refuted this, saying that what kind of legitimate father is a son-in-law? A man who has lost his own surname, to put it bluntly, Ning Jing is the legitimate master of the Ning family, and Wan Feng sold himself into the Ning family, not to mention that as a son-in-law, he actually had a bunch of illegitimate children who were older than Ning Jing, which was ridiculous.
As a son-in-law, Wan Feng murdered his father-in-law, poisoned Ning Qingqing, and even expelled Ning Jing from the family. Who doesn't know his intention? He deserved to die! As for Hua Mei and her children, they were just slaves after entering the Ning family.
Ning Jing should have been so tough, took back everything that belonged to him, and cleaned up those ambitious dogs!
Some people applauded Ning Jing's thundering means.
Others condemned Ning Jing for being too cruel.
Ning Jing participated in the imperial examination in Pingbei City, and the news that he won the first place in the imperial examination has spread to Xunyang City recently.
This, combined with the fact that Ning Jing had crushed his nominal biological father and nominal half-brothers and sisters to ashes, made people sigh and sigh. In the end, all we can say is that the Ning family has a successor.
Ning Jing woke up and washed his face. Someone from the Xunyang City government came and asked him to go over for questioning.
It was normal for the government to ask about such a big commotion and several people died.
Ning Jing went to the government office in full view of the public.
He came out soon after, safe and sound.
Although there was a murder in the Ning Mansion, Ning Jing had the right to deal with those who were not from the Ning family but depended on the Ning family for survival, which was equivalent to slaves, even if they were named Ning in name and had lived such a glorious life before.
The government wanted to make trouble for Ning Jing, but the people were dead and burned. Ning Jing said that they burned themselves, and there was no evidence to prove that Ning Jing set the fire.
The most important thing is that Ning Jing has now passed the imperial examination and has a bright future. The officials in Xunyang City don’t want to make enemies with him at all. The questioning is just a formality and a greeting.
After returning to the Ning family, the managers were waiting in the meeting hall. Ning Jing went over and asked them to come forward one by one to hand in the account books and report the business situation of each of them.
Some of them were confused and thought that Ning Jing didn’t know anything, but they were pointed out the problem directly. They didn’t even have the opportunity to defend themselves. They were directly deprived of their jobs and left immediately.
The servants brought tea and snacks twice, and two meals, but Ning Jing didn't eat much.
It was not until late at night that the last old steward reported, and Ning Jing had a preliminary understanding of the Ning family's business.
But he did not intend to stay to manage it. Instead, through today's "interview", he selected a few sober and experienced stewards and re-arranged them to ensure that the Ning family's business would not fall into chaos after he left.
And today Ning Jing asked about the business, and went to the government to get a clear road, and announced that he became the head of the Ning family. No one dared to openly attack the Ning family in the future.
It was still the same reason, he was a champion. Maybe in another half a year, he would be the champion, who would dare to provoke him?
And today, everyone has seen Ning Jing's ruthless method of crushing the bones and scattering the ashes of his enemies, which is a great deterrent to both the insiders and outsiders of the Ning family.
The original steward was sent to the government by Ning Jing after he was ordered to scatter Wan Feng's ashes, and was accused of stealing the property of the master's family and murdering several people.
It was not a false accusation. This housekeeper secretly helped Wan Feng do many evil things, harmed several of the original housekeepers of the Ning family, and seized a large amount of property from his home.
Although it was actually rewarded by Wan Feng, Ning Jing said that he stole it, so it was he who stole it.
As for the evidence of harming people, Ning Jing had no evidence, and suggested that the government torture him severely.
The new housekeeper was originally an old man who took care of the flowers and trees in the back garden. He was also an old man who served Mr. Ning. He was originally the chief housekeeper in charge of purchasing in the mansion, but later he claimed that he was not in good health and hid in the garden.
Hearing Ning Jing let him be the housekeeper, the old man burst into tears and said repeatedly, "The master and the young lady are in heaven, and seeing the young master's ability, they can rest in peace."
Before dawn, Ning Jing rode away from Xunyang City alone.
Time was in a hurry, and the arrangements for the Ning family were a bit sloppy, but for the time being, it could be guaranteed that there would be no trouble. As for the future, when he met Su Liang, he would ask her if she was interested in taking over the Ning family.
