Under the ten elders of the Senate, the opinion that can maintain independence is the five marquis and ten uncles, and in the past, these fifteen families had bargaining chips with the ten dukes, especially during the noble assembly.
Ding Kui rarely opposed Liu Yu's strategy, which shows that the queen's pregnancy has a great impact.
"A good family is not necessarily willing to stand on the side of the queen. Liu Yu insisted on his opinion.
"Even if the queen gives birth to a prince, they don't dare to openly provoke me, if they are smart, they should find a way to alienate me and the princess of Tangtai, not to mention that the princess of Tangtai has recently lost power, and I will talk about dealing with the queen's lineage later. Ding Kui was determined not to meddle in the affairs of the king's harem.
"Jiang Shunchuan and Mu Sen both asked to come to Juyang City, and Li Zili is also inquiring about the situation here, so the young master will give them a reply. The old money man came forward to change the topic.
"The old mansion and the Hou Mansion need people to sit in charge, Da Chuan and Mr. Mu can't move, Juyang City is too remote, and they need the two of them to provide the latest news in the country; "Ding Kui didn't plan to gather everyone in Giant Sheep City.
A man in the corner raised a hand weakly.
"If you have something, let you sit in this room and you will have a say. Ding Kui looked over and it turned out to be the newcomer Fabian.
"I, my subordinates, have tracked down a clue and found that some people's activities are related to spreading rumors to slander you and instigating the military judge to deal with you last time. Fabian wasn't used to working under Ding Kui.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" the old man grimaced.
"The subordinates only confirmed it last night, and they came back to discuss the matter. Fabian shrunk his neck, the old money was quite terrible to him.
"Be clear. "The old money is not good, and it is not good to attack on the spot.
"Last night, my subordinates followed a suspicious person and found that he entered a mansion in the north of the city, which is called Jade Taoyuan, and the suspicious people who have been tracked by my subordinates have been there, and Jade Taoyuan should be a stronghold for them. ”
Fabian came to Juyang City from Zhenjing City for less than half a year, but his ability to move is very strong, and his footprints have almost traveled to the entire Nanqiu County, and he is more familiar with Nanqiu County than many locals.
"How many of them are there?" asked the old man.
"The subordinates have followed four, three of them are from other places, and they left after staying in the county town for one night, and they haven't seen them since, which also proves that Yutaoyuan is a stronghold, and it is very likely that there are other accomplices who have not been tracked by their subordinates. Fabian was used to keeping an eye out for fresh faces, and it happened that he met three.
"Fabian has been in contact with the best spies in the whole continent and has strong counter-espionage capabilities. Ding Kui deliberately ignored the fact that Fabian was discovered by his friend Han Rujian.
"How did you know that this group of people is related to the military judge?" this time it was Liu Yu's turn to ask.
"There is a Qinglou in Nanqiu County that is the favorite of military judges, and the suspicious character who lives in the county town often goes to that Qinglou. ”
Fabian is the last person around Ding Kui, and everyone here has a higher level than him, even if Ding Fen asks him, he has to answer honestly.
"It may be a coincidence that a person often goes to Qinglou. Liu Yu was not satisfied with Fabian's answer.
"But the suspicious figure is a pedagogist. ”
This answer is well-founded, teachers are self-loving people, and it is impossible for them to go in and out of Fireworks Willow Lane often.
"In this way, the whole thing is reasonable, there is no reason for the Gongsun family to hold on to the young master, it turns out that someone is making a ghost behind his back. The guy should have a military background, and the person who came up with the idea must have known the military very well. Liu Yu figured out a question that had been bothering him for a long time.
At this time, the figure of the young heir appeared in Ding Kui's mind, "Could it be someone from Yangfeng?" There was a piercing chill in his words.
"That traitor!" Fei Zeho stood up, "spreading rumors and inciting military judges is indeed like the traitor's methods. ”
Ding Dao's clerk inevitably had to contact Yang Feng, the chief of staff, and when it came to his familiarity with Yang Feng, Liu Yu and Fei were no less than others.
"Hmph, he's a sinister villain who is good at lurking, and it's his specialty to make things rain behind his back, and although it's not sure that he's him, he meets all the conditions we suspect. Liu Yu felt that things were tricky.
The more people who know Yangfeng, the more they know how powerful Yangfeng is, and Liu Yu and Fei Ze don't think they can deal with Yangfeng.
"I really want to meet him, a person who has harmed the Ding family to what they are now. Ding Kui's body rose up with a fighting armor.
With a "snap", Ao Yu slapped Ding Kui's shoulder and scattered the fighting armor. He felt that Ding Kui's state was not normal.
"What's wrong with you now? The king's daughters have all been abducted by you, and there are more sixth-level masters in the family than ever before, right?"
"You," Ding Kui couldn't think of a word to refute Ao Yu for a moment, "You don't understand! Yang Feng and I have a common enmity, if he stands in front of me, I will definitely not hesitate to kill him." ”
"You can't let him die so easily, you have to gather everyone and give him a knife for each person. The old man's eyes were wide open, and others could see his eyeballs clearly.
"Where is he? I can go and get it for you. Ao Yu felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so he hurriedly asked for help.
"Speaking of this, I have to admire Yang Feng, a person with support can endure for more than 20 years, and so many of us don't know his whereabouts. Sometimes I can't help but wonder what his rebellion is trying to do? The day when the young master regains control of the staff is the time when the Yang family is unlucky, the king at most will protect the safety of the Yang family's generation. Liu Yu said what was in his heart.
"Do you want to set up a bureau to arrest that teacher?" Fei Bian realized that the person he was following might be the great enemy of the Ding family.
"No, didn't you say that there might be other accomplices besides those four? "Ding Kui can still hold his breath.
"It's easy to do if you have clues, whether they are from Yangfeng or not, I will find them all out, play yin in front of me, I want them to know what is professional. The old man was furious.
The former spy director Lu Guotang has many affairs in Juyang City, and he is both the shopkeeper of the chilled store and the chief housekeeper of the Ding family's courtyard, although he has Liu Yu and Fei Ze to help, but he can't put all his energy into intelligence activities.
Fabian has achieved results in half a year, and it is not a joke for an old spy leader like Qian Bu to go all out.
Wow, Lu Yang trotted, ran into the conference hall, and reported directly to Ding Kui: "There is news from Fallen Leaf City, Fuyun will be attacked, Tao Mu's whereabouts are unknown after issuing a warning, and life and death are unknown." ”
"Cao Guoren!" Ding Kui clenched his fists, "you don't want me to spend a year in peace." ”
"Deciduous Leaf City is not a giant sheep city, they would rather kill the wrong one than let it go. The old man tactfully pointed out Ding Kui's misjudgment.
Ding Kui blamed himself: "It's me who is not good, I underestimated the ruthlessness of the Cao Guo Supervision Division, and I should let Tao Mu come back to avoid the limelight." If Tao Mu has something to do, I will ask him to accompany him to the funeral. ”
"I'll go and take a look, I was chased and killed by a big archer for a few days and nights, and I must avenge this revenge. General Shi stood up.
"Okay, you go check it out. The one who can make Tao Mu's life and death unknown should be the big archer, but that side is someone else's territory, don't come hard, come back after figuring out the situation. The life and death of his subordinates are unknown, and Ding Kui can't stand idly by.
"Will this expose the money offering?" The old money head was not worried about the safety of Shi Jiang, but he didn't want the other party to know the Ding family's hole cards.
"I also admit it when I am exposed, Tao Mu wants to see people alive and corpses when he dies, and he can't be left in a foreign country. Ding Kui said it categorically.
Although the Tongyuan River at the end of December is not frozen, the water temperature is also very low, and if you are not prepared to fall into the water, people below the second-level combat power will fall seriously ill.
Towards the end of the year, few fishing boats will sail to catch fish, because there is not much harvest and there is a certain danger, so the activities on the river are basically merchant ships.
However, there are exceptions to everything, and fishermen from poor families still come out to try their luck.
On the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a dilapidated fishing boat came out of the river in the sun, and only an old man and a teenager were busy on board.
The young man was casting a net into the river, but he seemed to have found something, and shouted as he cast the net: "Grandpa, there seems to be a person in front." ”
The old man was at the helm at the stern, and when he heard his grandson's shout, he came to the bow of the boat to look.
Sure enough, a person was found floating on the surface of the river in the distance, and the person seemed to be motionless.
"You go ahead and put the net, and immediately go and boil a pot of boiling water. After saying that, the old man hurried back to the stern of the boat and controlled the fishing boat to sail towards the floating man.
A long bamboo pole stabbed at the floating man in the water, and the man moved, stretched out a hand and grabbed the bamboo pole tightly.
"Hold on, don't let go! I'll pull you up. The old man held the other end of the bamboo pole, and after shouting, he pulled the bamboo pole back hard.
Don't look at the old man who is nearly sixty years old, but his strength is not small, and the person in his hand looks at the height of no more than one meter eight and weighs at least one hundred and seventy or eighty pounds, but he was pulled onto the fishing boat by the old man alone.
The man in the water was still a little conscious, but after the last bit of strength was used, he actually fainted on the deck.
The old man frowned, and saw that there was a terrible wound on the man's right shoulder, although the blood from the wound had stopped, but the bones could be seen in the flesh that was turned over. After being soaked in the river, the bright red flesh and white bones were unusually distinct.
There seemed to be two forces wrestling with the wound, one tearing the wound and the other healing the wound.
The old man hesitated, but finally gritted his teeth and dragged the wounded man into the cabin.
The young man carried a pot of boiling water into the cabin, looked at the grandfather who helped the injured dry his body, and asked, "Is he still saved?"
"From now on, don't ask, don't listen, don't watch, forget about grandpa saving this man on the boat, can you do it?" the old man said to his grandson solemnly.
"Okay, Pan'er got it. The boy put down the boiling water and immediately exited the cabin.
The old man carefully took out a small cloth bag from his arms, unwrapped the layers of packaging, and revealed a small pill inside.
He shoved the pill into the mouth of the wounded and muttered, "Hope didn't save the wrong person." ”
