Cao Xing also heard that there was something in Ning Chen's words.

Whether it was the previous exams or Sun Jia’s case later.

Ning Chen can be regarded as helping Cao Xing.

Ning Chen was definitely a gift to Cao Xing.

Now that he can secure the position of Jing Zhaoyin, Ning Chen is kind to him.

Mentioning this, Cao Xing also smiled bitterly and said: "Master Ning, do you think I want to wade into this muddy water?"

Just as Cao Xing was talking, Xia Zhu and the others came over to serve tea.

Cao Xing and Sun Feilan only had tea, but Ning Chen had plenty.

In addition to the fragrant tea, there are also various refreshments, and there are more than a dozen kinds of breakfast.

This made Cao Xing, who was hungry, very uncomfortable.

"You four should go out first," Ning Chen said to the four Xia Zhus.

Xia Zhu and the four of them nodded, not forgetting to threaten Cao Xing and the two of them.

Ning Chen glanced at Kazilan's big-eyed Sun Feilan, who was standing next to Cao Xing, looking aggrieved.

He waved directly to Sun Feilan: "Look at what you want to eat, just get it yourself."

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Sun Feilan's eyes turned into crescent moons when she saw her idol.

Sun Feilan walked directly to Ning Chen, and Ning Chen moved to the side to make room for Sun Feilan.

Sun Feilan knelt down and sat next to Ning Chen obediently.

"What do you like to eat?" Ning Chen asked Sun Feilan.

"That." Sun Feilan said, pointing to the crystal steamed buns not far away.

Ning Chen took it and put it in front of Sun Feilan: "It's a bit hot, so be careful."

Sun Feilan nodded like a little hamster, lightly opened her red lips, blew on the steamed dumpling, and then stuffed the whole dumpling into her mouth.

The xiaolongbao is not big, but Sun Feilan's mouth and face are not big either.

So the whole thing was stuffed in, making Sun Feilan look more like a hamster.

Ning Chen pushed his tea next to Sun Feilan and said with a smile: "Slow down, no one will compete with you."

Cao Xing looked on and felt his stomach was getting worse, but mentally he felt a little nauseous.

"Master Cao, where have we talked?" Ning Chen raised his head and asked Cao Xing.

Cao Xing glanced at Sun Feilan, who was enjoying his meal, and turned his eyes away from the food, and then said to Ning Chen: "Master Ning, I don't want to go into this muddy water."

"But Lord Ning, there's nothing I can do about it."

"After all, a person died, right?"

"Normally, this kind of thing should be investigated directly by the Ministry of Punishment."

"But you also know, my lord, that although those in the Criminal Department do not make cliques.

But if something happens, they will protect themselves wisely."

"And the person who died is indeed considered a matter under Jing Zhaoyin.

He has no fame or rank.

The Ministry of Punishment said it was not under their control, but I couldn’t say anything.”

"So I can only bite the bullet and investigate this matter."

After hearing Cao Xing's bitter words, Ning Chen still said with a cold face: "But even if this is the case, the matter can't be traced to me.

Shouldn't you catch the murderer first?

With your abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to catch the murderer."

Cao Xing glanced at Sun Feilan, who had eaten all the steamed dumplings, swallowed his saliva and said, "Master Ning, the murderer has been caught."

"The murderer has been caught, why do you still come to me?" Ning Chen continued to ask.

Cao Xing said: "But the murderer is dead."

After a pause, Cao Xing added:

"The key is that the Zhu family now says that the murderer stole the manuscript of Zhu Jia Nongdao.

This may affect the Zhu family's opening of farm roads.

So this matter will be difficult to deal with now, once the matter rises to the level of establishing the holy path.

I don’t think it’s okay if I don’t check it out clearly.”

After Ning Chen heard what Cao Xing said, he immediately understood the content.

How the man named Wu died is obviously not important now.

The important thing is that the Zhu family said that the man named Wu brought the manuscript of the Zhu family's plan to open a farm road.

This is very clever.

The Zhu family wanted to open a farm road, so the Zhu family could naturally guess that Ning Chen might also open a farm road.

Let's all drive together.

There is a question of sequence.

The one who opens first will naturally have the advantage.

So the Zhu family came up with a trick to throw dirty water.

Don't you want to prove your innocence?

Then you wait until I open the farm road, and then you open the farm road again.

If you can open it then, it proves that you have nothing to do with my manuscript.

But in this case, it was because the Zhu family had the upper hand.

Therefore, the farm road opened behind Ning Chen was naturally shorter.

Of course, unless it's the farm roads opened by Ning Chen and others, they can surpass the Zhu family's farm roads in quality.

In this case, the last attack will come first, and the Zhu family's farm road will naturally be suppressed.

But is this likely?

At least in the eyes of the Zhu family, this possibility is unlikely.

It can even be said to be very small.

What the Zhu family is currently guarding against is Min Si, who can open a farm road of the same quality as their Zhu family.

If Min Si takes the lead, they will be left behind.

Although they did not see Min Si's manuscript, there were some things Min Si said in court.

Of course they already knew.

In this way, they have reason to suspect that Minsi's farm roads can be equal to theirs.

That's why the scene like this happened now.

If you want to prove your innocence, then act later.

But there are inherent shortcomings in holding meetings afterwards.

If you open first and you don't surpass my Zhu family, it means you haven't stolen enough.

The fact that you surpassed the Zhu family means that you copied enough, but you just opened it first and took advantage of it.

As for you trying to explain this matter clearly, it's very, very difficult.

If I really can't explain this kind of thing clearly, there are ten thousand ways to make it unclear.

"Have the Semi-Saint Family been so dirty?" Ning Chen said with a frown.

In Ning Chen's opinion, the dignified Semi-Saint family should not bother to do this kind of dirty work.

The second level of Confucianism and Taoism is a semi-sage.

In the entire nearly 10,000-year history of Confucianism and Taoism, there was only one Confucian sage who was superior.

There is only one first-grade sub-sage, Meng Sheng.

Even if they are semi-saints, there are only a dozen of them in ten thousand years of history.

Even if there are some reclusive semi-saints, it is probably difficult for them to exceed thirty at most.

Therefore, the status of the semi-sage Zhu family is really high among the entire Confucianism and Taoism.

If we talk about the orthodoxy of Confucianism and Taoism, the Zhu family is definitely more representative of the orthodoxy of Confucianism and Taoism than Yunshan Academy.

The reason why everyone knows more about Yunshan Academy now is mainly because the founder of Yunshan Academy was the last Confucian semi-sage.

This Confucian half-sage of the previous dynasty directly relied on hard-line tactics.

The Zhu family was unwilling to cooperate with him to co-found a college and spread Confucianism and Taoism as a semi-holy family.

They all rushed to the north and founded Yunshan Academy alone to spread the holy words of Confucianism and Taoism.

It is also because of this that the reputation of these semi-holy families is not as loud as that of Yunshan Academy.
