"Your Majesty, I heard that you haven't been to see Lord Ding for a long time?" Wang Laohu asked.

As soon as he mentioned this, the emperor became worried again, and he turned himself to the wall again, as if looking at the paintings on the wall, but in fact he didn't see anything.

After a while, he turned around and said: "I can't help it, Liu Jin built a leopard room for me, so that I can indulge in it every day, and everyone in the world thinks that I am a foolish emperor." ”

"The emperor is not confused, the emperor is a rare Qingming emperor."

"Wang Laohu, I am no different from being placed under house arrest by Liu Jin now, it is very inconvenient to go out, I have long known that you have come to the capital, but I have not contacted you, and I am also risking my time tonight, so there is not much time." The emperor said.

"The minister understands."

"Don't call yourself a foreign minister, you are the general of my dynasty, and when you eradicate Liu Jin, I will give you a correct name."

"Your Majesty." Wang Laohu said, "Lord Ding has suffered so much in prison, has the emperor ever thought of releasing him?" ”

"I also know that you are here for this matter, but maybe I am going to disappoint you again, and I am afraid that I may be disappointing the loyal ministers of the world."

Hearing the emperor say this, Wang Laohu seemed to have guessed a few of them, could it be that Lord Ding was going to be sent to the frontier? "What does the emperor mean?"

"I plan to send Lord Ding to the frontier."

It's really exactly the same as history, Lord Ding is really going to be sent to the frontier.

"Your Majesty, don't you think about it anymore?"

"Lord Ding is my right-hand man, why don't I want to keep him by my side?" The emperor said, "I have already received a tip, Liu Jin wants to kill Lord Ding, so I made the following plan." ”

It turned out that this was the case, the emperor originally sent Lord Ding to prison to protect him, but the treacherous Liu Jin did not want to let him go, and he wanted to remove this stumbling block, so the emperor made such a decision.

"Wang Aiqing, are you blaming me for being useless, you can't even protect your right-hand man."

"The Emperor's ......"

The emperor stopped Wang Laohu and said: "I will issue a document immediately, Ding Aiqing will leave the capital in ten days, and send the frontier, along the way, I will send people to protect it, I hope that Wang Aiqing will also send people to accompany him all the way, beware of Liu Jin from obstructing it." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Laohu replied.

"I've been out for a long time, and if nothing else, I'm going back."

"Your Majesty, the ministers have one more thing to ask for."

"Wang Aiqing, please speak."

"The minister obeyed the emperor's will and recruited troops, although the emperor also gave me some weapons, but now there is still a shortage of weapons, can the emperor allocate some weapons for me?"

The emperor thought for a while and said, "You go to Lord Cao for this matter and let him solve it for you." With that, he left the study.

"Weichen sends the emperor." Wang Laohu said.

After a while, Cao

Hong Ting entered the study, "Lord Cao." ”

"Lord Wang, when the emperor leaves, let me help you solve the matter of weapons." At this time, Cao Hongting changed his words and called Wang Laohu an adult, presumably he knew something.

"Lord Cao, I'm just a businessman, what kind of adult?"

"Alas, Lord Wang, don't be modest, the emperor has already explained to me, and I will keep this matter a secret for you."

Wang Laohu smiled, "The matter of weapons is urgent, can Lord Cao make 2,000 pairs of weapons for me within ten days." ”

"Within ten days?" Master Cao said, "Although I am a member of the Criminal Department, I also know how to build 2,000 pairs of weapons in ten days?" ”

"How much time will it take for Lord Cao?"

"A month."

"No, it's too long, I can't wait that long."

"How much time does Lord Wang think?"

"Fifteen days." Wang Laohu said

"Time is too short."

"Lord Cao, please hurry up."

"Lord Wang, please give me twenty days.

"Okay, just twenty days."

"I don't know what kind of weapon Lord Wang wants?"

Wang Laohu thought for a while, and said to Lord Cao: "Please ask Lord Cao to get me a pen." ”

Cao Hongting took a pen and paper for Wang Laohu, and he drew it on the paper, this weapon looks like a knife is not like a knife, and the sword is not like a sword, it is much shorter than an ordinary sword.

"Lord Wang, what kind of weapon are you? With such a short blade, you will suffer when you are in battle. Cao Hongting asked.

"I'm not short of weapons." Wang Laohu got inspiration from the Purple Beast Sword, the short blade and the handle are not short together, but half is a knife and half is a handle. "This weapon is called a fluttering knife, and it should be made like this at the hilt, and it should be merged with the scabbard."

"Lord Wang, your requirements are very high, and it is difficult to complete it in twenty days." Cao Daren.

"I also want Lord Cao to make this weapon for me." Wang Laohu said and drew on the paper again.

"What kind of weapon is this?"

The two discussed in the study all night.

The next day, the sun has shone into the study, Wang Laohu and Cao Hongting after a night of discussion, both tired lying in the study fell asleep, in the study there are a few Wang Laohu last night painted manuscripts, Cao Hongting will be based on these manuscripts for Wang Laohu tailor-made these weapons.

Dinh House.

The letter of exile to Lord Ding has been issued, but the emperor is very gracious, and he did not distribute the entire Ding Mansion together, but did some punishments, fined 500,000 yuan in silver, recovered some of the Ding Mansion and the personnel in the palace, and the Nangong guards were also transferred back. The family declined, the number of families and maids decreased, and the Ding Mansion fell.

Wang Laohu did not live in Dingfu, but he often went to Dingfu.

Finally arrived at Lord Ding's quilt

On the day of the distribution of the frontier, Mrs. Ding and others came to see off Lord Ding. Lord Ding wore shackles on his head and was escorted all the way by two officials.

Wang Laohu said to Lord Ding: "Uncle and grandfather, don't worry, your family in the capital will be taken care of by me, and they will not be hungry and frozen." ”

"Of course I'm relieved." Lord Ding said, "Don't do bad things to me in the future, I won't be able to save you anymore." ”

Wang Laohu said: "I will remember the words of my uncle." ”

Lord Ding leaned into Wang Laohu's ear and said, "Don't forget to help the emperor and stabilize the Ming Dynasty." After speaking, he left Wang Laohu's ears and said, "You kid, remember it for me." ”

Wang Laohu didn't answer Lord Ding's words, how could he bear such a heavy burden? Looking at the figure of Lord Ding being escorted away by the two servants, and looking at the elderly Mrs. Ding, Wang Laohu felt an indescribable desolation.

The emperor said that he would send people to protect him along the way, and Wang Laohu also asked Chang Yuchun and Li Tian to take people to escort Lord Ding to his destination safely.

After more than ten days, Lord Cao finally cast the weapon that Wang Laohu wanted and loaded four carriages.

With these weapons, Wang Laohu will also return.

So the people of Ding Mansion came to say goodbye.

Ding's Mansion is a little depressed because of the indifference of the family, except for Xu Lao's housekeeper and Xia Bo, there are only a few maids and housekeepers left.

"Uncle Grandmother, I didn't bring a lot of money to Beijing this time, which caused you to take the money for emergencies, and when our dart bureau came to Beijing next time, I would ask people to bring coins again."

Mrs. Ding burst into tears: "Our Ding family is finished, Wang Shisun, and now only you still pity us." ”

"My uncle and grandfather are very kind to me, and he has saved my life many times, so in the future, the affairs of the Ding family will be the affairs of our Wang family. Grandmother, you must take care of your health, you two will definitely get together one day. ”

"I hope so." Old Madam Ding said.

"Second brother, you are also a family person, now it is not as good as before, you are the pillar of this family, you must support this family, the loneliness of the Ding family is temporary, and the Ding family will stand up again one day."

"Big brother, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore, I will pick up the burden of this family." Ding Yueyun said.

Wang Laohu nodded to him.

"Little sister, the eldest brother has returned to Hangzhou, you also have to take good care, you have to be filial to your parents and grandmother, now the situation is different, you must be strong."

"Big brother, when are you coming back?" As she spoke, Ding Daiyun began to cry.

"I may not be able to come back from time to time, I will let my dart team bring you use, you can rest assured, with my king and tiger to eat, you will not be hungry."

"Big brother, I won't let you go."

"Silly little sister, the eldest brother is going to make money now, and I not only have to feed the Wang family, but also the Ding family."

"Big Brother ......"
