During the negotiation the next day, Lou Xiao discovered that the other party had changed people!
Ding Kui's two chief conspirators arrived at Shibu County. Fei was in charge of intelligence work. It was normal to follow Ding Kui everywhere. Liu Yu came for government affairs in the newly occupied area.
Nowadays, every county under the small imperial court has a county guard, except Shibu County. Liu Yu is in charge of government affairs and is also a firefighter. Wherever there is no county guard, he will serve for a period of time until a new county guard is appointed to take over the government affairs.
He is the most important political official of the Ding Kui Group, and his status is not lower than that of Lou Xiao. Lou Xiao had no objection to talking to him and was even happier.
"What happened?" Ding Kui summoned Fei Ze alone.
"It's a small matter. Someone in Juyang City reported Zhong Lan anonymously and received a large amount of bribes from Zhong Wei's subordinates. It is said that she accepted many positions in Juyang Military Academy."
Zhong Lan is Zhong Wei's wife. She lives next door to the Earl's Mansion in Juyang City and often goes to the Earl's Mansion.
"So fast? A few days after I finished talking to Uncle Zhong, someone from Juyang City reported it anonymously!" Ding Kui was really surprised.
His conversation with Zhong Wei to be the principal of the military academy had not lasted more than five days. Someone was causing trouble in Juyang City hundreds of miles away, and he didn't even count the time it took to travel.
"Zhong Wei is not only a principal but also a division commander. He has many personal soldiers deployed. People from the Zhong family are always coming to give gifts. Zhong Lan is not a greedy person and knows what can be accepted and what cannot be accepted. This matter is most likely a frame-up."
When it comes to the people around Ding Kui, Fei Ze cannot ignore it, nor can he investigate it too much.
"I haven't even thought about the positions in the military academy. How could Aunt Zhong agree to it? You have to find out who reported it. If it's someone from outside, that's fine. If it's one of your own, it's not a good sign." Ding Kui thought for a moment.
Several possibilities.
"The affairs of the military academy are not considered confidential. Many people know about it. It may not be reported from here, and some people may not be willing to let Zhong Wei be the principal." Fei Ze analyzed it on the way here.
"Of course, it's possible that Zhong Wei did it himself, but I don't believe it! Someone is actually doing something in my house. How courageous!" Ding Kui's anger was palpable.
Giant Sheep City is his territory, his lair, how can he allow others to snore next to his bed!
"My subordinates are also worried that they can't figure it out, but it's not easy to catch suspicions at the moment, and it would be uncomfortable for anyone to be suspected." Fei Ze expressed his concerns.
If the person who framed Zhong Lan is not an outsider, then the beneficiary is the suspect. Only Ding Kui's cronies will benefit from this matter. Investigating Ding Kui's cronies is not a trivial matter.
Ding Kui was very worried that one of his cronies was involved. His palms and backs were full of flesh, and it hurt even if he was hit with a board.
"Check the outsiders first, make sure they are not outsiders and then tell me." He was not willing to check the people around him.
It is Zhong Wei's established policy to lead the military academy. Pressure from the outside can be ignored, but pressure from the inside must be handled carefully.
"It's time for me to go back to accompany my wife, and take a look at who dares to cause trouble under my nose." He decided to return to Giant Sheep City in advance.
The affairs of Shibu County were known to Lou Xiao when he was sent as an envoy, and the results of the negotiations were determined by using counter-clockwise. The tough attitude in front of the county gate and the detainment of the deputy envoy forced Lou Xiao and others to cherish the results of the peace talks even more, and everything went very smoothly.
.
"Daddy! Hug!" Jingjing rushed out of the door and staggered towards Ding Kui.
Ding Kui had given advance notice when he returned home this time, and his two-year-old daughter could clearly pronounce the words and recognize the father whom he rarely saw.
Ao Yu took a step across and stopped in front of Ding Kui. The strong dragon soul wrapped around his whole body and deliberately teased Jing Jing: "Come on, daddy will hug you." Ding Kui knew what he was thinking and looked on with a smile.
Jingjing ran forward, staggered around Ao Yu, stretched out her hands towards Ding Kui: "Daddy, hug me!"
"Be good!" Ding Kui bent down and picked up his daughter, "Remember your uncle. When you see him in the future, ask him for fun things."
Jingjing then turned to look at Ao Yu: "Uncle, play!"
Ao Yu tugged her hair, tilted her head and asked, "How can she tell you from me?"
"The nature of father and daughter, the good baby has my blood flowing in his body, so he can naturally tell the difference." Ding Kui carried his daughter on his shoulders.
"Uncle, play!" Jingjing kept staring at Ao Yu.
"As greedy as your father, you know how to blackmail me and ask your father to send someone to get it later." Ao Yu couldn't bear to look through the space ring in front of everyone.
"Haha, it is our family's custom to bring a gift to your eldest niece when you come back from a trip." Ding Kui smiled and walked into the house.
Long Yan and Li Fei snickered behind the door. They both knew Ao Yu's temper.
Ao Yu muttered: "Why don't you come back with a gift?"
Ding Kui woke up and returned empty-handed, so he blurted out: "Yes, Shibu County will be my daughter's dowry from now on."
"I would like to thank the master on behalf of Jingjing!" Long Yan immediately squatted down and saluted, with a smile on her face.
Li Fei next to her covered her mouth with one hand. She was so surprised that when she opened her mouth, she sent a county away. That was even more impressive than the king.
Ding Kui sometimes liked to tell exaggerated jokes, but he didn't take them seriously. When Long Yan thanked him, he had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it out of dignity.
When they came to the backyard, Shao Dianluan learned about this and cursed: "You dare to say anything! My territory is less than one county. What will you give your daughter when she gets married? Long Yan is also ignorant and dares to ask for anything.
.”
"Don't be angry, it will affect the fetus." Ding Kui smiled and supported his wife, "If our son inherits the throne in the future, wouldn't it be okay to make his sister a princess? I only said that Shibu County is a dowry, and the princess will be given to her for life.
Just the food and property is enough, there is no need to really leave it to her."
After sitting down, Shaodian Luan took a deep breath and tried to adjust his emotions, "You put it lightly! Jingjing is my grandfather's heart. If Long Yan can't give birth to a son in the future, she will definitely be An Guogong in the future. What else can she do?"
Be the princess?"
"That's right! Duke An Guo can't take the county's main food town, so this can't be saved." Ding Kui really didn't think too much when he said this.
"That's right! I made a promise today, but then overturned it later. How can you be such a father? Even if Jingjing doesn't blame you, she would still scold me, my aunt, for being such a cheating wife?" Shao Dianluan has been very sensitive recently.
Thinking a lot about everything.
"Cheating your wife? Hahaha, okay! I never thought of calling it this way." Ding Kui burst into laughter.
"You heartless person! I can be so happy after cheating you!" Shao Dianluan's eyes were moist.
Ding Kui panicked and quickly advised: "This is all my fault! It has nothing to do with you. I will find a way to solve it, don't worry."
Shao Dianluan wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and said: "If Jingjing can get married in the future, it will be enough to grant her the title of the princess. If she wants to inherit Duke An, there will be no dowry. But you cannot treat her badly. You must
Give her husband’s family an inheritance.”
"Okay, okay, Madam is the one who loves Jingjing the most, and I will do anything to you." Ding Kui didn't expect the eldest princess to be so considerate.
