The night was dark, and in Ding Ting's training room, Yuluo sat beside him, and gently recounted the results of the search in the past two days: "Dad, my daughter still hasn't found him. On that day, if he didn't save him, he would be beaten to death by the people of Lijiazhuang, and his daughter would not be able to sit idly by. But after he fled, he disappeared, and it was very difficult for me to find him again. ”

Ding Tingxun was silent for a moment, and sighed softly: "I can't catch it when the fate comes, and there will be no chance when the fate goes." ”

Ding Yuluo was also silent, and only after a while did he say softly: "Dad, he'...... He really suffered this time. Daddy now believes that he wasn't the adulterer who sneaked into his sister-in-law's room late at night? Why do you want me to follow him and say that someone will kill him, ......?"

Ding Tingxun didn't answer, and asked after a while: "What do you say about this murder case from the government's side?" ”

Ding Yuluo said: "The Liu and Li families came back to spread the word everywhere, saying that the government had accepted the case and sent a head catcher to arrest him. But...... The daughter made the silver buy off a small official, but she heard that the current Bazhou Daitong sentenced Lord Zhao that there was no evidence and that he needed to be carefully investigated. It was not a headcatcher who was sent, but a squad leader, who had eaten the Liu family and the Li family in the past two days, and was drunk all day long, but he didn't do anything serious. Now the people who are looking for Ding Hao's whereabouts everywhere are all members of the Liu and Li families. ”

Ding Tingxun smiled, and Ding Yuluo said again: "After the Dong family's bloody case, the second brother secretly ambushed Zhuang Ding everywhere in the mansion every night, wanting to wait for him to come and get him right. Ding Hao is not the enemy of Chengye Triad, if he rushes in, alas, his daughter really doesn't know how to deal with herself. ”

"He's not coming."

Ding Tingxun closed his eyes and shook his head slightly: "When my father was young, he wandered around, and he once saw the steppe wolf that the Khitan people admired the most. In particular, if it is not sure, it will follow its opponent hungry for three days and three nights, until it finds the most suitable opportunity, and then it will deal a fatal blow to the enemy...... The current Ding Hao is like a wolf, and the most dangerous kind - a wounded wolf. ”

Ding Yuluo said nervously: "Then he ...... Sooner or later, you will find it? If he insists on finding his father and his second brother for revenge, his daughter ...... What should my daughter do? ”

Ding Tingxun looked at the roof and muttered, "It's hard to say whether you will come or not." When it will come, it is even more difficult to predict. If...... When he can rise to the top, and when he is sure enough to blow my Ding family into powder, he will come and take revenge for a day of wind and thunder. ”

Ding Yuluo said worriedly: "Dad, if that'......"

"Hehe, are you afraid that he will not let go of my Ding family after all?"

Ding Tingxun smiled: "Daughter, you really look up to him, speaking of which, your eldest brother is too, your brothers and sisters, I didn't have much contact with him before, but after a little contact, I agreed, and I was very close to him, which is really an anomaly." ”

He sighed and said with emotion: "In my father's life, he is a very successful businessman, and he has laid down this family business with his bare hands; In his life, Dad is also a very successful gentry, and he can have the place he is today in Bazhou. But...... Dad is not a successful father, not a successful head of the family, this is Dad's biggest failure. Luckily, I have a good son and a good daughter......"

He raised his hand, with kindness in his eyes, gently stroked Ding Yu's hair, and said with relief: "If a person wants to succeed, he needs real skills, and he needs luck." A person who has no luck, no matter how great his ability is, will not succeed, or ...... If the ambition is not rewarded, he will die in a daze; Or, he is obviously capable, but he is suppressed and excluded by others, and he is depressed for a lifetime.

In my father's life, I have seen too many such people, and among the people I met as a teenager, I don't know how many people are amazing and gorgeous, a hundred times better than your father, but they always struggle to get ahead, and finally fall into mediocrity and poverty all their lives. He Ding Hao wants to have the power to bring down my Ding family, so it's not easy to talk about. He came from a humble background, never practiced literature, never practiced martial arts, and wanted to get ahead. Maybe...... He will not succeed in the rest of his life, until this hatred in his chest is smoothed out, and he becomes a mediocre farmer......"

Thinking of Ding Hao's past performance, Ding Yuluo shook his head and said: "Dad, Ding Hao in the past actually had no ambitions, he just wanted to have his own industry and just want to have his own home. But now, my daughter believes that he will never be mediocre in this life. ”

Ding Tingxun smiled: "So what? If that day really comes, I'm afraid that my father is no longer in the world, and he will give him whatever he wants, even if he takes it all, won't it be my Ding family? Whether he changed his surname to Yang or not, he has my blood in his veins, and this is a fact that can never be changed. Moreover, I don't believe that he will ruin the Ding family. Because...... The Ding family still has you, and your eldest brother, Ding Hao...... No matter how much it changes, it still values love and righteousness in his bones. ”

Ding Yuluo lowered his eyes silently, and thought faintly in his heart: "My foolish father, why can't you figure it out until this time?" If you had thought like this, how could you have become such an unmanageable situation today? ”

Ding Yu was sad, Ding Tingxun had a kind of open-mindedness, he smiled and said, "Okay, it's getting late, you can go back to sleep too." For the sake of this family, Dad will try his best to hold on, when your eldest brother is there, you have to go over from time to time to help take care of it, there are many strange people in the world, let's look for doctors and medicines, maybe one day, we can save Zong'er to wake up. Alas, nowadays...... This is the only thing Daddy is looking forward to......"

"Yes, daddy, rest, my daughter is back." Ding Yuluo heard him mention his eldest brother, his heart was gloomy for a while, he answered in a low voice, stood up and walked out of the door.

Watching his daughter's back disappear at the door, the smile on Ding Tingxun's face slowly disappeared, he sat up with difficulty, opened the dark lattice at the end of the bed, took out a silk-wrapped thing from inside, opened it gently, and took out a phoenix hairpin from inside.

It was a love object he gave to his wife back then, and his wife stayed in the house when she returned to her parents' house in a hurry, who wanted to become a relic. Gently stroking the hairpin that was as bright as new, Ding Tingxun muttered to himself: "Lady, why did you go so early, if I was running around for the family business outside, you helped me raise the children, and the industry would not become what it is now."

Lady, both of their brothers are your biological sons, why are they so different in temperament, and now how do you make a choice for your husband? In order to compete for the family property, Ye'er killed Ding Hao, and the husband was angry and angry, but by the time I realized it, it was already late, and everything was too late. For my husband's eyes, I didn't rub sand all my life, but now I have to pretend to be confused. I can't even let anyone know about this scandal......"

Ding Tingxun said this: "Lady, Ding Hao...... He has abandoned my Ding family and will never look back. Now that there is only such a son in the Ding family who can provide for me in his old age, how can you let me take him? I want to clean up the door for my husband, but I have worked hard all my life to give this family business, who do you want me to hand it over, to whom......"

The more Ding Tingxun spoke, the more sad he became, he wiped away his tears tremblingly, and his lips trembled and said: "Since the turn of the year, the bones of the husband have been getting worse and worse, maybe it won't be long before I will go to meet you." But...... Our Ding family's grain was robbed, and it has not yet been clarified whether there is a mole or not. Zong'er can't sleep, but Ye'er is not angry, and he can't rest assured for his husband, the lady has a spirit in the sky, it's good for you to help her husband......"

Ding Tingxun was weeping and whispering, suddenly felt a slight wind blowing on his face, he subconsciously looked up, and saw Yan Jiu did not know when he got into the room, and was standing in front of him, Ding Tingxun was stunned, hurriedly wiped his tears, and said angrily: "Jiu'er, it's so late, what are you doing?" ”

Yan Jiu raised his eyebrows, and said with a lovely smile: "The old man is tired, he should rest, old slave...... to urge urge. ”

Ding Tingxun frowned, and said angrily: "There are no rules, the old man doesn't want to sleep yet, so I want you to talk more and go down." ”

Yan Jiu smiled even more weirdly: "Master, you didn't understand what the old slave meant, the old slave said, master, you have been working hard for the Ding family all these years, you are physically and mentally exhausted, you are really tired, you should rest, keep resting, hehe, as soon as these two eyes are closed, there is nothing to worry about, are you still so sad?" ”

Ding Tingxun was stunned, his eyes widened, he straightened his waist, and said angrily: "Yan Jiu, what are you talking about?" ”

Yan Jiu smiled and said, "Master, let's have a master-servant, the old slave really doesn't want to hurt your heart too much." But you toothless tiger is too good to hold on, crumbling, the candle in the wind, but it falls but does not fall, cripples but does not perish, the old slave really has no choice, so he has to do his duty as a loyal servant to give you a ride. ”

He smiled sinisterly, stepped forward and said, "On the surface, the Ding family looks decent and beautiful, but in fact, what about the bones? It's dirty, it's time to change the owner to clean it up, the old slave is also for the good of the Ding family, sir, don't you say? ”

Ding Tingxun was furious and shouted: "Someone, someone!" ”

Yan Jiu smiled and said: "Don't shout, master, the people waiting around you have been sent away by the old slave, the old slave is the steward of the inner courtyard, your closest person, who will be suspicious?" ”

Ding Tingxun said in a deep voice: "Yan Jiu, you are so bold, the old man has always trusted you, what do you want to do?" ”

Yan Jiuyi smiled and said: "It is precisely because the old man is so fond of the old slave, so the old slave doesn't want the old man to be a fool, there are some things, now you have to explain it to the master." ”

Ding Tingxun calmed down and sneered: "What do you have to say to the old man?" ”

Yan Jiu raised a finger and said with a smile: "This is the first thing, for so many years, master, you have really wronged the Yang family, and it was not the Yang family who told Mrs. that you were drunk and confused, fornicated with the Yang family, and gave birth to Ding Hao's evil obstacle, not the Yang family, but actually the old slave me." ”

"What, you...... You ......" Ding Tingxun's eyes widened, and his hands and feet were cold with anger.

Yan Jiu smiled smugly, and said: "The one who bewitched Mrs. to go back to her parents' house and teach the master a little lesson was also an old slave me." Ouch, sir, don't be angry, the old slave hasn't finished saying this yet. Master, I led the disaster victims and bandits to wash my wife's mother's house in blood, and killed my wife and the second young master, but I am actually an old slave. ”

Ding Tingxun thundered like five thunderbolts, and shouted in horror: "What do you say? Two...... Second young master, that karma ...... He ...... him."

"Hehe, today's second young master, actually...... It's my son. People often say, Mother Xiao, Mother Xiao, Father Xiao, Master, didn't you notice that the second young master doesn't look much like Mrs., but is similar to the close-fitting maid next to Mrs. Xi'er? ”

"Xi'er?" If it weren't for Yan Jiu mentioning it, Ding Tingxun really couldn't remember such a character, the Ding family is so big, and he doesn't know how many stubble rings have been changed over the years, how can he remember.

Yan Jiu grinned and said: "Yes, the Xi'er who waited for Mrs. with the Yang family, she was found by the old slave because she stole Mrs.'s jewelry, so she was driven out of the Ding Mansion by the master, did the master remember it this time?" Hehe, in fact, she didn't steal Madame's jewelry, but because she had my son, you love face so much, and the rules of the Ding family are so big, once you find out that the male servant and maid are cheating and pregnant, you must drive us all away, how can we live at that time? So I persuaded her to find a reason to be kicked out of the house, only I am here, and I can always make her mother and son worry-free. ”

The smile on Yan Jiu's face cooled down a little: "She is a little woman who has no knowledge, what else can she think, she naturally obeys her words." ”

Ding Tingxun heard that his throat was hot here, and a fishy sweet taste rushed straight to the end of his nose, he gritted the root of his teeth, forcibly suppressed the mouthful of blood that he wanted to squirt, and only suppressed the mouthful of blood for a long time, and said angrily: "Yan Jiu, is it ...... You...... Are you stealing beams and changing pillars, is it just to plot against my Ding family's property one day? ”

When this sentence came out, an even more terrifying thought suddenly flashed in Ding Tingxun's heart, and he lost his voice: "No, Ye'er ......"

He said that he smoothed his mouth, and as soon as the words came out, he remembered that his favorite youngest son was someone else's seed, and he didn't know whether to be angry or sad for a while: "No, he ...... He's just the second son, even if you transfer flowers and trees, you won't be able to take away my Ding family's property, isn't it...... Could it be that my son was ...... by you? ...... by you"

Yan Jiu clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile: "The master is really shrewd, he has already figured out this layer?" Yes, Guangyuan leaked the news when he delivered food, this traitor ...... Actually, it's me, it's a pity, your son has a big life, crippled and not dead, but it doesn't matter, he can't inherit the incense, and he is not good at it, this business has to be transferred to my son, as long as you move some hands and feet, let the lord you return to heaven as soon as possible, and you will become a ......"

"You...... You old slave ......" Ding Tingxun saw the Venus in front of him, his breath was dying, and he was unable to get up.

Yan Jiu said in a loud voice: "Who knows, at this time, your illegitimate son is out of breath, if you want to say, it is really connected by blood and born close." The eldest lady likes to be close to him, and the eldest young master also lets his second brother who is 'a fellow mother' not need it, but he favors Na Ding Hao and wants him to recognize his ancestors and inherit the family business. He thought so, it wasn't a big deal, but you old fool, you called your father's precious son for so many years and didn't want it, but he also had the intention of recruiting that little mongrel.

If you are unkind, I am unjust, and there is nothing to say. The old slave first poisoned a cronie and a little maid, and the eldest young master could no longer take care of his affairs. But that Ding Hao is still alive, how do you say this is good? Hehe...... there's a way. If you want to say that my son, although he is handsome, he is also elegant in conversation, poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he knows everything, the eldest young master has been running around for many years, and the young lady is young and lively, and she can only see this side of the world in this courtyard, and she has been in love with my son for a long time and has become a 'husband and wife'. ”

When Ding Tingxun heard about this ugly incident, his chest rose and fell violently, but he didn't even have the strength to scold.

Yan Jiu's palms "snapped" and patted: "This time it's done, using this ugly thing to coerce, she is a casual young woman who is not obedient." The old slave observed many times and found that as long as Ding Hao returned to Ding's mansion, he only rested in the room every night, and never drank with other stewards. So he set up this trick, with the cooperation of the young lady, and the response of Ye'er, Lan'er and other characters, this good show has no flaws, so you can't believe it, master.

The old slave originally thought, borrow your hand and kill you, the only son who can still support the Ding family, who knows, this Ding Hao is also a merry man, he actually hooked up with a handsome widow, and let her be willing to come out to testify for him, which harmed my good deeds. Fortunately, although he is not dead, his wife was forced to death by you, and because of you old fool, even the little lady Dong died, hahaha, this sea of blood and hatred, but it can't be solved in a lifetime, and the old slave didn't expect that the most powerful character who became the old slave was actually the old man, and you ......"

Ding Tingxun's body twitched violently a few times, his teeth were clenched, and dirty blood slowly overflowed from between his lips. His eyes were wide open, staring straight at the roof, and if it weren't for the last glimmer of brilliance in his eyes, he would be a dead man by now.

A hint of pride flashed in Yan Jiu's eyes, he approached with a smile, and comforted softly: "Master, you can go in peace." The eldest young master has no threat to me, even Doctor Xu is helpless, who else can cure him? So...... I will take good care of his diet and bed, and I will also seek medical advice for him everywhere, so that I can look brother and brother, the second young master is a local example, don't you say? Now that all the obstacles in my way have been cleared, I will not harm the rest of the Ding family, will you be a little grateful to the old slave after hearing this? ”

Yan Jiu bent down, took a closer look at Ding Tingxun's appearance, stretched out his palm and shook it in front of his eyes, and said regretfully: "Master, why are you going here, the old slave hasn't finished talking yet." You...... was also drugged by the old slave, but you must not be happy and sad, otherwise...... No one can see anything strange when they are dead. ”

He slowly straightened up, and his face showed a touch of arrogance: "It's a pity, you still don't know my true identity." He stretched out his hand, gently wiped Ding Tingxun's eyelids, and said lightly: "How noble my identity is, my son is the head of your Ding family, it is not to insult you, but to promote your Ding family!" Aren't you honored to have been so decent all your life? ”
