Yao Tan rode on the shoulders of one of the guards, and several others huddled around the perimeter so that his new shoes and clothes would not be stained by the snow on the ground.

As they approached the palace, they could already see the passage separated by the forbidden army, and Yao Tan's guards were a little less vigilant.

At this moment, a thin block of ice flew to the sole of the guard carrying Yao Tan against the ground, and the people around didn't notice it.

The sole of the guard's foot slipped, and the whole person fell backwards, Yao Tan also screamed and fell to the ground, and the guard behind him quickly caught Yao Tan in the air and helped him stand firm. Unaware of what had happened, several other guards hurriedly squeezed through the surrounding pedestrians, dividing a small circle.

This caused a small commotion, and there were many low-lying places on the ground nearby, and the snow water was splashed by the trampling of the panicked crowd, and a few drops may have flown into the mouth of the screaming Yao Tan.

"Ahh Yao Tan scolded and carried his guard.

The guard headed by the guard vigilantly looked around, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find it, and seeing that Yao Tan was unharmed and would not affect the trip, he said: "Young master, let's go to the palace quickly, I will punish him well when I go back." ”

Yao Tan cursed a few more words before carefully stepping on the snow-free ground and walking towards the palace.

Shi Jiang stood not far away, looking at Yao Tan's back, the corners of his mouth raised and a smile appeared. He didn't wait for Yao Tan to enter the palace, he turned around and squeezed into the flow of people walking out.

In the middle of the night, Yao Tan, who was playing with the little princess and the little princes, suddenly hugged his head and cried out in pain. Before the imperial doctor arrived, Yao Tan was bleeding from seven holes and lay on the ground motionless.

Yao Mang, who heard the news, was furious and ordered Yao Tan's guards to be arrested and tortured, and once again called his most trusted coroner to check the cause of Yao Tan's death.

"Lord Qiyu, the little young master has a very small wound in his mouth, which should have been shot into by a hair-shaped hidden weapon. This kind of hidden device travels through the blood vessels, and after a period of blood soaking, it will swell, bursting the blood vessels in the brain, causing brain hemorrhage and death. "This coroner is quite experienced.

"Shaodian Secret!" Yao Mang gritted his teeth and shouted out the name, "How long has it been since the secret weapon was shot?"

"It's been more than five hours. The coroner took a closer look at the wound in Yao Tan's mouth.

"You need at least the strength of a sunset archer to use this kind of hidden weapon, and five hours is enough for him to run at least a hundred kilometers away. Yao Mang's face turned blue with anger, "Someone is coming, take my waist card and ask the archer Qi Yu to beg him to pursue the murderer, and immediately investigate the people of unknown origin in the capital city recently, and summon all the people within 500 kilometers of the capital, and not let go of a suspicious person." ”

Cao Guo is rich in archers, Yao Mang can roughly judge the strength of the general, he has to ask for the most powerful trump card in his hand, even if the big archers go out, they may not be able to catch up.

Shi Jiang was not far from the realm of the Great Archer, and he still had a five-hour lead, and a heavy snowfall after dawn helped him. He successfully escaped the pursuit of the Great Archer, and at the pass on the way to flee to the Qi Kingdom, although the investigation was tight, it could not stop his footsteps. Yao Mang could only watch his grandson die in front of him, but the murderer was able to get away with it.

The people of the Supervision Department of Cao Guo acted very quickly, and the next day they found the "Dianjin Pavilion", and based on all the information, they analyzed that the murderer was likely to be the number one killer of Shaodian State, and he "stared" at the general.

"General Shi, who is he doing things for?" Yao Mang called a meeting of his subordinates.

The master of the intelligence hall replied: "General Shi was wanted by the Shaodian Kingdom the year before last, and his whereabouts have been unknown, on the surface, it seems that he will not be able to do things for the Shaodian Kingdom, and it is likely that he is employed by some big families." ”

"Big family, which big families do I have enmity with? Is it the Ding family or the Jiang family? Could it be that some of our plans have leaked out?" Yao Mang was shocked.

"Both the Ding family and the Jiang family have this possibility, there is intelligence that Ding Kui has completed a huge deal with the Lu Chamber of Commerce, and has the conditions to hire Shi generals in terms of financial resources; not to mention the Jiang family, the third-ranked nobleman in the Shaodian Kingdom, Jiang Tong has only recently been promoted to a legendary knight, and he can command Shi generals with his strength. ”

"Nonsense, I want to know the answer, who is it?" Yao Mang was very dissatisfied with the intelligence hall master's answer.

"If the action against the Jiang family is leaked, Qi Shuang of Qi State is also suspicious. Shi will be wanted by Shaodian and flee to Qi State, which is very likely. "The assassination of the hall master made a lot of fun, and he was a stumbling block for the intelligence hall master.

"Ding Qi of the Ding family has been uncertain, and he doesn't know where he has gone most of the time, and he has the possibility of joining forces. Our old hyena disappeared last year, and he is a veteran spy of the Supervision Department, who may reveal a lot of our plans.

Who planned this operation against adults, according to the available information, it cannot be confirmed, and the subordinates can only say that Ding Qi is the most likely, and the possibility of the Jiang family and Qi Shuang cannot be completely ruled out. "It's difficult for the intelligence hall master, unless you catch Shi Jiang and ask who instructed him from his mouth, he can't give a definite answer.

Since I took over the Supervision Department, not a single person surnamed Ding has died in my hands, but because of that operation, many people have been lost, and one of my sons and one of my grandsons have lost their lives.

Since you can't confirm the opponent, then the retaliation will be suspended, and you will do everything you can to find out who instructed the general, my grandson can't die in vain!" Yao Mang was very aggrieved, after he took over the position of director of supervision, his actions against the Ding family always failed, and he felt that he was the victim.

Ding Kui had a very happy New Year in Zhenjing, and finally felt the lively atmosphere of the big city, and the dense crowd made him regain his long-lost sense of familiarity.

"If you put up a shed in the middle of this street and find some out-of-season flowers to sell, then it will become a flower street. Ding Kui said while standing on the bustling Tianxiang Street.

"It's so cold, how can you still find flowers? Zeng Jian went out shopping together, and he scoffed at Ding Kui's thoughts.

"Hehe, classmate, you don't understand this, there are no flowers now because the weather is too cold, but if we make a greenhouse and circle a warm environment, we can still cultivate flowers." "In terms of technology that people in this world have not yet mastered, Ding Kui is a big expert.

Ding Fen also followed behind Ding Kui's buttocks, since her mother left, she had been sticking to Ding Kui for a long time, her eyes lit up after listening to Ding Kui's words, she tugged at the corner of Ding Kui's clothes, and said, "Is what the young master said true?

"Yo, are you interested in giving it a try?" Ding Kui touched Ding Fen's head.

"Hmm. Ding Fen nodded violently.

"It's expensive, it's not very expensive, but it's more troublesome to get it, and I don't know if I can find some materials. I won't stay in Zhenjing City for too long, and I'll find a way to make one when I go back to Pingzhong County. "Ding Kui has seen the greenhouse, knows the general principle, and can still make it after groping.

"Okay, then the young master will help me make a greenhouse after I go back, so that the flowers can bloom in winter. Ding Fen was slightly disappointed, but quickly adjusted.

"Hahaha, okay, I promised Xiaohua that I would do it. Ding Kui still likes to call Ding Fen and Ding Xiao their nicknames in private.

"Little junior brother, every time you have a new idea, it is an idea that you can make money, is it possible to make a lot of money this time? Feng conscience moved.

"Oh, senior brother, you don't mean to drink because you're a drunkard, the purpose is not as simple as money. Ding Kui smiled and looked at Feng Liang.

"Tell the point, you know you can guess. Feng Liang glanced at Ding Xiao beside him.

"Yes, this can really only be done by the lord, there are too many things involving the local government. A few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, choose the most lively street in the territory and build temporary shops in the middle of it with bamboo, not only selling flowers, but also lanterns, silk cloth, snacks and so on.

After the New Year, there are not so many people going out, and the shops are demolished. There is no need to renovate a street, and it can increase the transaction of goods in a short period of time, which can increase both rental income and taxes, which can make the lord make a small profit. Ding Kui, who comes from the southern gate of the motherland, is very familiar with this model.

"Well, that sounds great, and it can be done once a year, so it's not too difficult to do. I think my father would have been happy with the idea, and if he had mentioned it again, he would not have been so strongly opposed. Feng Liang rubbed his hands.

Feng Liang mentioned to his father Feng Kuang that he wanted to marry Ding Xiao, but Feng Kuang strongly opposed it. Because Ding Xiao is Ding Kui's personal maid, first of all, her status is low, and secondly, her relationship with Ding Kui is easy to be arranged, which will have a bad impact on the reputation of the Feng family.

Without the support of the family, if Feng Liang insisted on marrying Ding Xiao, it would probably cause Feng Liang to be removed from the Feng family, which was not a good thing for the two of them. Feng Liang has always tried to get Feng Kuang to agree, and bringing enough benefits to the family is one of the methods.

"Well, it's hard to change your father's mindset at once, and if the exchange of interests can be a condition, I'll support you as much as I can. Ding Kui is also very helpless about Feng Liang's situation, his current identity and status are not enough to change Feng Kuang's concept.

"Young master, it's no problem for the slave to serve the young master for the rest of your life, you don't have to worry too much. Ding Xiao felt that his affairs had embarrassed the young master.

"Look at what you say, you are the closest person to me, just like my sister, there will be more and more people waiting for me in the future, you just take care of them. You're not too young, so it's better to decide what you need to do as soon as possible, and it's only fitting that I'll deal with that for you. Ding Kui attaches great importance to Ding Xiao's marriage.
