The battle ended quickly. It can be summarized as Ouyang En arrived and quelled the civil strife in the city defense army.
Ding Kui carried Ouyang Zhuang and went out of the camp to find Ouyang Heng, who was protected by dozens of knights. "He, is he dead?" Ouyang Heng didn't dare to look at the person in his hand.
"Haha, if you want, I can help." Ding Kui raised his voice to Ouyang, "He's not dead, he just fainted. I'm going to be too heavy-handed. It's probably the middle of the night before he wakes up."
"Oh." Ouyang Heng patted his chest, "Then let's take him back."
"no!"
Ouyang En next to him twitched his eyelids and wanted to say something, but after looking at Ouyang Zang, he kept his mouth shut.
"You have to stay here to appease the city defense army. When they stabilize, you will go back."
The bearded man was actually educating Miss Ouyang, but except for the people from the Public Security Department, no one else present found it strange, including the two old guards of the Ouyang family.
"Who is that bearded man? He is so powerful! I have never seen him before." Ouyang En asked Ouyang Pu secretly.
"Well, Mr. Director, it's hard to say. You can understand that he is a master invited by Madam." Ouyang Pu couldn't tell Ding Kui's identity.
Tonight, the Ouyang family has to deal with internal troubles, and it is inconvenient for outsiders, especially foreigners, to intervene.
That's why Ding Kui pretended to be a bearded man and hid his strength. Those knights were selected from the welcoming escort. Shao Dianluan and Feng Run only went to visit the Knights Guild and did not intervene in the internal affairs of the Ouyang family.
Although Ouyang Heng was a little scared, he still followed Ding Kui's arrangement and entered the city defense camp under the escort of the knights to start the aftermath work.
A follower ran next to Feng Run and whispered a few words. Feng Run nodded and walked quickly towards Shaodian Luan who was in the middle of shooting.
"Your Highness Princess, it's getting late. Do you want to take a rest?"
"Oh! It's really inconvenient to continue to disturb President Ya. Let's go back." Shao Dianluan knew it well.
"It's not good! Master." A slave ran into the inner courtyard in a panic.
"What nonsense are you shouting!" Ouyang Bo walked out of the back room, "If the sky falls, I will still hold you up, why are you panicking!"
The servant quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "Something happened in the city defense camp! The villain saw many people from the Public Security Department running over with weapons. Our people went to inquire about the news and were arrested. The villain went to ask for people, but they didn't do anything.
Willing to let go."
"What?" Ouyang Bo frowned, "You can't even ask for someone?"
This slave had been with him for a long time and he knew the other two clan elders, which showed that the matter was serious.
"Yes, I saw Master Ouyang En, but those guys who are jealous of others refused to let me see him."
"Prepare the car!" Ouyang Bo was angry.
But after a while, he said again, "Wait! I'm not going out anymore. Send more people out, including the Marquis' Mansion, the Public Security Department, the City Defense Camp, the Knights Guild, the Taxation Department, etc., to inquire about it and get it done for me as soon as possible."
Understand the situation!”
Jiahe County City is destined to be restless tonight. Several giants in the city are restless. Various news spreads frequently, and people inside and outside the office cannot tell the truth from the lies.
Ouyang Heng was in pain and happiness at the city defense.
She had never spent so much money in her life. Every time a name was recorded in the document, at least a thousand gold coins would flow out of the Marquis's treasury. Her heart beat faster when she saw the wounded approaching.
However, the city defense army returned to the control of the Hou Mansion, Ouyang Pu became the new commander, and now has 1,500 loyal city defense troops organized.
"Okay, let's go back." Ding Kui saw that the registration work was over and no one came to queue again.
“I don’t know how to thank you!”
Although it was late at night, the excited Ouyang Heng did not feel sleepy at all.
"We'll talk about it when we get back." The bearded man smiled, and the people nearby actually saw a hint of handsomeness.
He Ji had been waiting in the main hall. When she saw her daughter coming back with her Ouyang-like figure tied up with five flowers, her heart dropped completely.
"What should we do next?" she asked Ding Kui directly.
"The evidence of Ouyang Zhuang's rebellion is conclusive, but there is no evidence that Ouyang Bo has evil intentions. If we want to win the victory, we have to wait for Ouyang Bo's counterattack." Ding Kui had taken off his makeup.
"How will Ouyang Bo fight back?" He Ji regarded Ding Kui as her backbone.
Ding Kui glanced at Liang Chong. Liang Chong understood and said, "Ouyang Bo has many heirs. It is affordable to sacrifice one Ouyang Zhuang, but he will definitely not be able to swallow this breath. He will probably attack Miss Ouyang next. As long as he deprives Miss Ouyang His inheritance rights will naturally be safe."
"Don't he want to be the Marquis of Zhulang?" He Ji heard the mystery.
"I think, but after what happened tonight, the possibility is very small. If I were Ouyang Bo, I would definitely do the next best thing. Pull Miss Ouyang down and put someone with a better relationship in the position. Only then will his family have a good life. Pass."
"Yeah." He Ji nodded in agreement, "Then what will he do?"
"It depends on the old rules of the Ouyang family. The prince-in-law is right, etc." Liang Chong was not very sure about this issue.
"Examine Ouyang Zhuang first and dig out something useful from his mouth." Ding Kui was eager to show off his skills.
"There's no need to trouble the consort, there's someone in the Hou Mansion who specializes in this." He Ji didn't dare let Ding Kui do it, as the family scandal must not be spread outside the family.
Ding Kui returned to Liufang Garden angrily. Liang Chong beside him laughed and said, "Why are you so concerned about other people's family affairs?"
"I wonder if your bullshit plan will work? Shao Dianrong hasn't replied yet. I have to find a way to save myself."
"Don't worry, it's the etiquette between countries. I will definitely take care of it later." Liang Chong did not dare to imitate Ding Kui and called Shao Dianrong by his full name.
"Zhao Gang found a way to deal with Ouyang Heng on his own. I really couldn't do anything with him, but he found someone to join forces and left a gap for me."
"Why don't I let you take the blame once? The road ahead will be easy."
"I will definitely have to carry the blame for a while. I can shake it off after walking the rest of the road. I don't want to carry it forever." Ding Kui did not give up the idea of breaking the situation.
"That makes sense. What do you want to do? Catch Ouyang Bo and torture him?"
"No, Ouyang Bo's advantage is that he has a large family, but his weakness is also this. A strong dragon cannot overwhelm local snakes. No matter how powerful Zhao Gang is, he is just an outsider. As long as Ouyang Bo's support is eliminated, all his family members will be included in Jia Gang's family. In Hejun City, if you are not afraid of him, you will not bow your head."
Liang Chong shook his head and sighed, "Hey! Because of your fault, not even a blade of grass will grow!"
"..."
I don’t know if someone from the Hou Mansion intentionally leaked the news. Ouyang Bo finally found out what happened that night. Dozens of people including Ouyang Zhuang, his uncles, brothers, nephews, etc. were arrested. The Knights Guild was held back by Shao Dianluan. There was no response from Ouyang Shen. The Public Security Department took a clear stance on the side of the Hou Mansion.
Ouyang Bo was so worried that he gathered all his family members overnight to discuss countermeasures, and finally came to the conclusion that a family meeting must be held as soon as possible to discuss the selection of Zhulanghou's successor.
This is the only method that can threaten the Hou Mansion and make He Ji turn against the rat and not easily deal with Ouyang Zhuang and others.
It is not easy for the Ouyang family to hold a family meeting. It needs the consent of at least two clan elders, and the family of the head of the Hou Mansion must take the lead before it can be held at the ancestral temple in the county.
"Convene a family meeting?" Ding Kui understood immediately after He Ji said it, "Promise him."
"Why?" He Ji was puzzled, "He must have proposed not to let Heng'er be the heir to the title."
"The purpose is to make him take the initiative and cooperate with the news we released before to further solidify his conspiracy to seize the title of inheritance." Ding Kui was waiting for this opportunity.
"But I'm worried that I won't be able to convince the other clan members." He Ji always has a foreign surname, and Ouyang Heng doesn't have enough prestige. He may not be Ouyang Bo's opponent in a verbal fight at the family meeting.
"As long as you do this..." Ding Kui whispered a few words in He Ji's ear.
Another day later, a family meeting was held in the Hou Mansion. Most of the Ouyang family gathered at the ancestral temple, and local gentry and elders were also invited to watch.
At the meeting, Ouyang Bo first stood up and denounced his son for being arrogant and disrespectful, disrespecting Ouyang Heng, and embezzling military pay. He resisted Ouyang Heng's orders because he was afraid that the scandal would happen.
He talked eloquently for a long time, then suddenly changed the topic: "A few days ago, Ping Nan Gong's Zhao family sent news, confirming that Miss Ouyang Heng's moral character was lacking. She actually met with a foreign consort in secret and did things that harmed the reputation of the Ouyang family.
Later, she was discovered by a foreign princess and forced to commit suicide in the river. Unexpectedly, the foreign prince-in-law was greedy for her beauty and rescued her. She could have saved the family's reputation by committing suicide, but she did not want to repent and actually lured the foreign prince-in-law and the princess into the river.
He went home and tried to hide the truth."
"Wait!" Someone at the main seat stood up.
When Ouyang Bo saw it, his expression changed drastically.
It turned out that the person who got up was Ouyang Shen, one of the elders of the three tribes, the famous old slicker.
Ouyang Shen said, "That's not what I heard. Everyone knows that the lady suddenly disappeared a few days ago, and the place of disappearance was 'Ke Yun Lai'.
I believe everyone knows what kind of place "Ke Yun Lai" is, and someone saw Zhao Gang and the lady entering the restaurant together that day, but no one saw them leaving after that. Why is this?
Later, I listened to the young lady's oral complaint and learned about a very unfortunate thing. The adulterer Zhao Gang and Ouyang Bo actually drugged the food, stunned the young lady, and then committed heinous acts!
Afterwards, the young lady was sent to a large waterfall hundreds of miles away! What happened next was exactly as Ouyang Bo said. The young lady was humiliated and angrily threw herself into the river, hoping to seek justice for herself and the Ouyang family with a 'complaint of death'!
"
"False accusation! Ouyang Shen! This is a naked accusation! Who asked you to do this? Is it that vicious woman?" The angry Ouyang Bo pointed at Ouyang Shen and then pointed at He Ji.
"Be bold!"
"presumptuous!"
Bang, Ouyang En jumped up and said angrily, "Ouyang Bo, I didn't expect you to be such a person and dare to humiliate the madam in front of the clan! Do you think you are the master of the Ouyang family? You did all those dirty things behind your back.
Well, Ouyang Zhuang has already done all the tricks.
I originally wanted to save some face for you and give you a chance to change your ways, but I didn’t know that you had to hold a family meeting to humiliate your own family. The most shameful thing is that you even dared to frame a distinguished guest invited by the Queen.
