"A death warrant!" A thought came to Ding Kui's mind.
The death warrant is a helpless choice, usually used by lower nobles against higher nobles. It is to use suicide to attract the attention of the court or the Senate, hoping that the national administrative agency or higher nobles will pay attention to their affairs.
After Ouyang Heng appeared, things became clear. Zhao Gang should be the big man, a member of the Zhao family of Pingnan Gong, and he was probably a direct descendant. He somehow raped Ouyang Heng, and then Ouyang Heng planned to throw himself into the river.
He filed a death warrant, but was accidentally rescued by Ding Kui.
"Don't stop me!" Ouyang Heng yelled, then jumped up and jumped down the stairs with his head down.
This is a wish for death.
The first floor of the square tower is very high, equivalent to the height of three floors of an ordinary residential building. If she jumped from almost the highest point and hit the ground, she would definitely not survive.
"Hengheng!" Zhao Gang shouted.
"What's going on?" Ding Kui regretted rescuing this woman, but things had come to this point and she couldn't let her die here.
He slid back and jumped up the two stairs. He hooked Ouyang Heng's shoulder with his left hand and pulled her up with force. His right hand moved up from the bottom, just in time to drag Ouyang Heng's thigh and hug her firmly again.
Ouyang Heng was a little panicked in mid-air, waving his hands wildly, and accidentally hit Ding Kui's face with his right hand. Ding Kui couldn't dodge, and if he tried to block it, he would be in a more embarrassing position, so he just gritted his teeth and took a hit.
"You can't die in front of me, not just now, not now, and not in the future!" He walked down the stairs and bent down to put Ouyang Heng down.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Ouyang Heng wanted to touch the place where she hit him, but he felt it was inconvenient to extend his hand halfway, so he finally retracted it.
"Junior sister, come down!" Ding Kui raised his head and called Lu Ying.
"I'm coming!"
Bang, bang, bang, Lu Ying rose and fell several times to the stairs, and then jumped directly off the first floor.
"Watch her, don't let her seek death." Ding Kui handed Ouyang Heng to his junior sister.
When he retracted his hand, he accidentally touched a soft and elastic place. Ouyang Heng subconsciously folded his hands and covered his chest, his face turned red immediately.
She is taller than Lu Ying, and her breasts are much larger. She looks very tight when she wears Lu Ying's clothes, and the places that were supposed to be bulging are even more bulging. It is indeed not Ding Kui's intention.
Zhao Gang outside the tower roared: "Let go of Heng Heng! Hand her over quickly! She is my unmarried wife!"
"Shut up! The affairs of your two families have nothing to do with me, but now you are surrounding the distinguished guests who have come to celebrate my queen's birthday, treating the flag of the Senate as if it were nothing, and refusing to obey the orders of the welcoming envoy. This is at least the following crime.
, If you don’t retreat, don’t blame me for enforcing the king’s law!”
Feng Run took another step forward, and the guards followed suit: "Kill!"
His bottom line has been repeatedly challenged by Zhao Gang. If he doesn't show some force today, the Feng family will be disgraced. If Yuguang is in the Feng family, he is not afraid of defeating Nangong Zhao's family. What's more, Ouyang Heng doesn't admit that he is Zhao Gang's wife.
Moreover, a death warrant was required, and Zhao Gang's excuse no longer existed.
Someone came close to Zhao Gang's ear and whispered a few words.
"Okay! For the sake of my empress and the Senate, I won't attack you today, but if you don't let Heng Heng go, you can't even think about going down the mountain! Come on, show me the way down the mountain." Zhao Gang turned around and walked down the top platform.
He did not dare to actually launch an attack. Feng Run and his men had official duties and could not move. Ding Kui and others were not so easy to deal with. They had to retreat after one round of bluffing and adopt other methods.
"Brother! Please keep an eye on them." Ding Kui did not dare to neglect and sent a magician to keep an eye on them.
Ouyang Heng suddenly struggled violently, trying to get out of Lu Ying's control, but Lu Ying was guarding her and clamped her tightly with both hands.
"Why did you save me? I'm already in ruins, just let me die! If I die, I can cut off Zhao Gang's thoughts, and then the Ouyang family can keep their reputation and let the court give me justice!" she shouted at Ding Kui. Call.
Because she knew that without Ding Kui's nod, she would not be able to die even if she wanted to, and she suspected that Ding Kui was interested in her.
"Take her up." Ding Kui waved his hand, and Lu Ying covered Ouyang Heng's mouth with one hand and dragged her to the top of the tower.
Ding Kui turned around to greet Feng Run and said, "Has that young master always been like this? This place is not far from his home, so he can bring so many people here."
"Pingnan County is indeed not far from here, but Zhao Gang has never been so domineering in the past. We came out to represent the face of our country, and today he doesn't even care about the face of the kingdom." Feng Run was very angry and couldn't understand at the same time.
Ding Kui watched the last member of the Zhao family walk off the platform and said, "Let's go up and tell me about Zhao Gang and Ouyang Heng."
This time he summoned Liang Chong and Zeng Jian to listen to Feng Run's briefing on the situation on the second floor, and asked the women to stay on the top floor.
Feng Run took a sip of tea and felt relieved before saying, "The relationship between the Zhao family and the Ouyang family is a bit complicated..."
The Zhao family of Pingnan County is one of the oldest inherited families in our country and has a decisive influence on the government and the public.
The Zhao family was originally born in Wu Xun, but later cultivated a large number of educated children, and gradually became an important force in the Government Affairs Council. Today, the family members are spread throughout the Government Affairs Council and the military, and they are the only family that transcends military and political affairs.
The contemporary Pingnan Duke Zhao Tan is the fifth elder of the Senate, and Zhao Gang is his direct grandson, but he has more than one direct grandson, Zhao Gang has five brothers.
The origin of Ouyang Heng is not simple either. Someone from the Ouyang family of Yipinhou has always been the commander of the navy and has a well-known name in his own country.
Her grandfather and Zhao Dan's brother were good friends, and her marriage to Zhao Gang was arranged by those two elders. However, since the two elders passed away, the marriage became awkward.
In the war between his country and Meng's country, Ouyang Heng's father and brother died in battle one after another. Now Ouyang's family is left with only a pair of orphans and a widowed mother. Seeing that the family is about to fall, Ouyang Heng cannot marry if he wants to inherit the title of marquis. Recruiting a wife.
Zhao Huang looked down upon the Ouyang family, which was about to decline, and hoped that Zhao Gang could marry with other royal families, so he never sent anyone to the Ouyang family to propose marriage. Zhao Gang and Ouyang Heng were far from discussing marriage.
However, Ouyang Heng was a famous beauty in her country, and Zhao Gang had long coveted her. He would visit Ouyang's house every now and then, finding various excuses to ask her out. She saw clearly what the Zhao family was thinking, and knew about her marriage to Zhao Gang. He couldn't do it, so he repeatedly refused to have private meetings with Zhao Gang.
Feng Run only knew so much, basically all he heard from others. He had no contact with the Zhao family or Ouyang family. Today was the first time he talked to Ouyang Heng and Zhao Gang.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire second floor fell silent, and Ding Kui, Liang Chong and Zeng Jian all fell into deep thought.
After a while, Liang Chong came back to his senses, pointed at Ding Kui and said, "I'm afraid I have nothing to do with you."
"Nonsense!" Ding Kui waved his hand irritably, "I don't know them. I have no connections with the Zhao family and the Ouyang family. Can they dare to plot against me?"
"No." Zeng Jian also came to his senses, "There are many unreasonable things about today's events. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a trap. Since it happened around you, then this trap might have been done for you."
Ding Kui suddenly stood up and strode to the viewing gallery, trying to find the spot where Ouyang Heng fell into the water. "His!" He took a long breath, "Sure enough, you can only see it on the top floor."
"What? What are you talking about?" Feng Run was dumbfounded.
Is the matter related to Ding Kui? Was what happened today premeditated?
"Look, you have thought of it yourself." Liang Chong spread his hands, "Ouyang Heng is a poor person, and someone actually used her to set a trap for you."
Ding Kui turned around and said: "This is just a possibility. If I see her throwing herself into the river but don't care, how can you trick me?"
"The Lord Knight refused to save you. Both the Ouyang family and the Zhao family had reason to blame you. The eldest princess also turned into a mean person. After arriving in Shouyang City, your couple's reputation will be greatly affected.
Of course, this is a possibility. Maybe everything you encountered today was an accident, but there are a few doubts that I can't figure out.
When was Zhao Gang? Where? How did he rape Miss Ouyang? Why did he let Miss Ouyang appear here?
After you rescued Miss Ouyang, why did Zhao Gang dare to block Fangta? He kept claiming that Miss Ouyang was his fiancée, wasn't he afraid of being sued by Miss Ouyang?
Why did someone board the square tower before we came? The officials guarding the tower asked them to leave, but they refused to leave, and they would not leave until Master Feng came forward." Liang Chong listed the doubts one by one.
"Lastly, I can interrogate the officials here." Feng Run also became suspicious.
"Will Lord Feng also be involved?" Liangchong smiled.
"Impossible! Brother Feng has many ways to think of, there is no need to make it so complicated." Ding Kui first helped Feng Run clear the suspicion.
"Is this a good staff officer? You don't want to slander anyone." Feng Run became anxious.
"Haha, just raise the questions and eliminate them one by one. Master Feng, I'm sorry." Liang Chong bowed his hands to Feng Run and apologized very sincerely.
"Oh oh oh, you have reason to doubt me. It's best to make it clear." Feng Run finally realized that he had said it clearly and there should be no malicious intent.
"But why do they want to set a trap for me? We are here at the invitation of our own king and queen, what's the benefit of doing this to me?" Ding Kui is not opposed to conspiracy theories, but he doesn't believe it easily.
"The power behind being able to mobilize people from the Zhao family and sacrifice Ouyang Heng is not small. We can't rule out that it was your enemies who did it." Feng Run also joined in the analysis and found the answer to clear his suspicions.
"I can hand over Ouyang Heng to Zhao Gang, what other reason do they have to pester me?" Ding Kui crossed his arms.
"Okay, if Miss Ouyang falls into the hands of Zhao Gang, it's hard to tell whether she will live or die. As long as she dies, she won't be able to tell who raped her." Liang Chong's eyes wandered over Ding Kui.
"How can this be done without any evidence? So many of us here heard Ouyang Heng himself say that it was Zhao Gang. Do they still want to confuse right and wrong? Mr. Feng was the first one not to allow it!" Ding Kui looked in disbelief.
"Master Feng is your ally." Zeng Jian added lightly.
