"Let's be honest, I'm a person who doesn't like to beat around the bush. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Ao Yu heard Ding Kui say this, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: He is so thick-skinned, he often goes around a few times when he says things, and if he is not careful, he will fall into your trap, he really opens his eyes and talks nonsense.

"The villain said bluntly, it has been half a year since Nanqiu County was recovered, and with the ascension of the city lords and county guards, most of the industries have been opened, and although many residents have not yet returned, the market in the county town has regained a certain popularity.

Some of the original transactions were completely destroyed due to the war, and now they need to be re-established, and some of them are of great interest to our Chamber of Commerce, you should also know what they are, and the Chief Administrator hopes that you can come forward to find out if the Lu Chamber of Commerce has a chance to intervene. Lu Ji said.

"Isn't it a gambling house, this is the southeastern border of the kingdom, the gambling house is run by a local government, although there is a precedent for private participation, but there is no foreign chamber of commerce to participate in it.

The decision on this matter is up to the county guard, I'm just a captain in Nanqiu County, is it someone else that Chief Lu asked me to come forward?"

Ding Kui did not forget the matter of the Pingzhong County Gambling House and knew the ambitions of the Lu Chamber of Commerce.

"If Shaodian Kingdom wants to send troops to Meng State, Nanqiu County must be a place where large armies gather, everyone knows that you are General Zhang's confidant and favorite general, and you have a good relationship with President Ming, and you come forward to discuss with Lord County Guard, the effect is much stronger than what we say. "Lu Ji seems to be quite well-informed.

"I can give it a try, but if it works? Ding Kui thought for a moment before answering.

The Lu Chamber of Commerce has been trying to enter the operation of gambling houses in various places, and is unwilling to let go of even the smallest opportunity, and the Shaodian government has not publicly opposed it, but in fact does not want to see the Lu Chamber of Commerce operate gambling houses.

"As long as you convey our wishes, we will find a way to succeed or not, and in the end, if it can be done, the Lu Chamber of Commerce will thank you. "Lu Ji represents the general manager of Nannuma Prefecture, and his authority is quite large.

Now the county guard of Nanqiu County, Li Yan, was directly appointed by the Ministry of Government Affairs, and rushed from the capital to Nanjing City to see Shaodianxi, and then came to Nanqiu County to take office, which is the county guard with the shallowest foundation in Nannuma Prefecture. This is also the reason why the general manager of Nannuma Prefecture of the Lu Chamber of Commerce will find Ding Kui, thinking that Ding Kui should be able to talk to Li Yan.

The first brigade returned to the county town, they had been away from the county for several months, and Zhang Jie also came to inspect his own elite lineage.

"You did the attack on the merchant ships of the Bangladesh Kingdom?" Zhang Jie met with Ding Kui alone.

"No, there is absolutely no such thing, we are the regular army of the kingdom, how can we take the initiative without a military order?" Ding Kui flatly denied.

"Well, that's fine, the legion specially sent someone to ask me, Commander Gu asked us not to act rashly before the new theater commander came, and the first brigade could not act without authorization. Zhang Jie stared at Ding Kui's eyes and suddenly said, "The harvest last time was quite rich, and each person could get two thousand gold coins." ”

"No, it's a subordinate private pocket to reward everyone for their outstanding performance in the war, and the reward from above has not yet arrived, and the subordinates don't want to chill the hearts of the soldiers. Ding Kui insisted on denying it.

Zhang Jie's interrogation of Ding Kui was a routine matter, even if he guessed anything in his heart, he didn't say anything clearly, as long as Ding Kui didn't recognize him, he would reply to the senior management of the regiment, and the 201st Division had not done anything that violated military regulations.

"Well, don't take too long in your training, and come out and walk around from time to time, otherwise you won't know what you're doing, and you will inevitably have doubts, so don't cause me unnecessary trouble. As for the reward from above, the Commander's Office is still studying it, and the treasury is not rich at present, and the longer it drags on, the more abundant the reward will be, so don't worry. Zhang Jie didn't ask any more.

"With your guarantee, everyone can feel much more at ease, subordinates damn it, forgetting the credit of the adult is the greatest, and the adult should also be prepared with a reward. Ding Kui understood what Zhang Jie meant, which was nothing more than to make their hands and feet cleaner, and to do enough superficial work.

"Do I still covet your reward, as long as you don't get me in trouble, get out. Zhang Jie was angry and funny.

When Zhang Jie met Ding Kui, Ding Cai went to the county guard's mansion, but he came back with a depressed face.

"Master, that dog official didn't know how to lift, and actually refused to go to the banquet, and said that the magistrate could not hook up with the border army, and he would report to the state pastor and accuse you of a bad plot. Ding Cai peeked at Ding Kui's face while reporting the report.

Ding Kui's face was calm, and he didn't seem to take Li Yan's response to heart, "What a strict magistrate, I underestimated him." His fingers tapped on the tabletop.

The military of Shaodian State was relatively shy about interacting with local officials, especially the army guarding the border, and there was a clear stipulation that the border army was not allowed to collude with local officials, and it was strictly forbidden to go to private contacts. However, in fact, most of the magistrates tried to make friends with the border generals, and did not think about anything else but their own safety.

"Ding Fen. Ding Kui shouted outside the door.

"What are you looking for me?" Ding Fen ran into the room.

"Tell your sister Bai to find the master of the Fang Sect to come and see me. ”

"Okay. ”

Ding Cai waited for Ding Fen to leave, and said, "Master, do you want the villain to find a way to teach the dog official a lesson?"

"Lesson? How can you teach a lesson! He is a genuine magistrate and holds the military and political power of a county, so why should you teach others?" Ding Kui's face was difficult to look at at this time.

He has seen a lot of county guards, most of them are noble lords, and they will give him a little face as the protector of the country, and he is the first one who does not give face like Li Yan.

An Chang is the Secretary for Water Affairs, and he is a civil official with a head and a face in the Government Council, and he is deflated in front of him because of his losses, and there is also Shaodian Dan's favoritism.

Li Yan is different from the people before him, it is not that the nobles have no pressure from the Senate, and his response to Ding Kui is reasonable, well-founded, and he can't find any fault.

"There must be something hidden behind the unreasonable behavior, you don't want to look for Li Yan until you find out about him, he must have something to rely on if he dares to speak like this. Ding Kui smelled something unusual.

After the end of the war, the master of the Killer Hall returned to the capital, but there were still a large number of spies of the Three Kingdoms of Meng Cao Qi left in Nanmara Prefecture, and there were several departments left in the Killer Hall to eliminate these spies, and Yaomen was one of them.

Bai Qian learned disguise from Fang Qianguo, and the two became good friends, and Ding Kui often found Fang Tianguo through Bai Qian, so there was a special contact between them.

Fang Tianguo quickly disguised himself as a soldier of the first brigade and infiltrated into the barracks and came to meet Ding Kui.

"You go and check Nanqiu County Shou Liyan, I want to know his origin and background. Ding Kui's face was not good when he talked about Li Yan, and he conveyed to Fang Tianguo that he didn't like this person very much.

"Li Yan, does he dare to offend the commander?" asked Fang Tianguo cautiously.

"Hmph, how can he take me in his eyes, find out for me as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, I will do it immediately. Fang Tingguo has a spectrum in his heart.

The identity of the protector Hou Shizi and the captain of the brigade is not Li Yan, Ding Kui also has a double identity, the commander of Hu Ben, and he can order the spy department to make some small moves.

The chief chamberlain came to the imperial study and reported to the king: "Your Excellency, Lord Shaodian, the commander of the Commander's Mansion, asks to see you." ”

"Yes, please. ”

Shao Dianzhang, who was waiting outside, tidied up his clothes and walked into the imperial study.

"The old minister and the young man pay a visit to the king. ”

"Excuse me, give a seat. Shaodian Dan waved his hand at the chief attendant.

"King Xie!"

Waiting for Shao Dian Zhang to sit down, Shao Dian Dan opened his mouth and asked, "Have the merits of the soldiers been evaluated?"

"The old minister is here for this matter, and most of the merits of the soldiers have been evaluated, but there is one person whose merits are not easy to evaluate. ”

"You can't be talking about Ding Kui, right?"

"King Mingjian, judging from the report submitted by the 21st Army, Ding Kui's military exploits are too amazing, and many of his positions are unprecedented merits, and the Commander's Mansion cannot give corresponding rewards. ”

Shaodian Zhang really has no choice, the reward of the Commander's Mansion is nothing more than a promotion and salary increase, and if it doesn't work, he will report it to the Senate and replace the reward with a knighthood.

But it doesn't work for Ding Kui, promotion is unlikely, Ding Kui's age and military age as a captain is already the end; a salary increase is not good, how much credit is added to it, the number is good, the problem is that the commander's office can't afford to give this money; it is even more difficult to add officials to the Senate, and the heir of the Marquis does not need the title below the first rank of Marquis, his merit is not enough to be a duke, and others can also reward more land and population, but the Ding family does not want to be territorial, and this convention cannot be broken without the king's order.

This is neither left nor right, with the power of the Commander's Mansion alone, he can't give Ding Kui the reward he deserves, Shao Dianzhang has a headache.

Shao Dian Dan was very strange, and only after listening to Shao Dian Zhang's detailed explanation did he understand, "It's really troublesome to hear you say that giving Ding Kui a reasonable reward. In this way, his reward will not be issued first, and the clan mansion and his merits will not be counted, Lone will discuss with the Taiwei, and then listen to the opinions of the Senate, and finally Lone Lai will personally announce the reward to Ding Kui. ”

Of course, Shaodian Zhang has no objection, and it is best to hand over the hot potato to the king. Regardless of whether the reward given by the king is reasonable or not, as a subject of the Shaodian Kingdom, he must accept it, and he, the head of the Commander's Palace, must also obey, and others cannot come to him if they are not satisfied.

The next day, the Commander's Office announced the reward decision for the Nannuma Prefecture War Zone, up to the commander Jiang Xi, down to an ordinary soldier, all of them were rewarded by the Commander's Office, but Ding Kui was missing, if it wasn't for the Commander's Office at the same time announcing that the reward for Ding Kui was announced by the king himself, everyone would think that Ding Kui had committed something and was suppressed by the Commander's Office.

Before Ding Kui waited for Li Yan's information, he received the news from the Commander's Mansion, with the last reward, he had great expectations for this time, the reward of others was already on the way, but he had to wait for the king to announce, and he was a little unhappy.
