The fact that Ding Kui was poisoned and assassinated was only spread among the upper echelons of Pingzhong County, and the people at the bottom and the common people did not know.????
Zhelan used Bai Jiyin's token to trap a Cao State spy, and then followed this line to capture two other people, completely destroying Cao State's spy power in Pingzhong County.
In order to gather more manpower, Zhe Lan had to visit Ding Kui again and asked reporters from Yanhuang Magazine all over Pingzhong County to participate in the operation of the Intelligence Division.
"Yes, we have almost checked Pingzhong County, but there are still nineteen counties in the whole state. I heard that "Guan Yue" plans to travel to other counties. Yanhuang Magazine is training new reporters, so they can participate in this trip
Let's investigate." Zhe Lan looked at the old man and the young man in front of him.
Old Qiantou has returned to Ding Mansion, so when he met with the spy chief of Zhongwangzhou, he was also there.
Ding Kui looked at Lao Qiantou, who responded with an approving look, and Ding Kui said: "Okay, I will do this, but the master of the hall also wants to do me a small favor."
"Please tell me." Zhelan said simply.
"My magazine company wants to buy some shops in other counties and cities. I believe the hall master has a solution for this matter." Ding Kui stopped beating around the bush.
"Okay, no problem. This old man can think of a way. At worst, the Intelligence Department will give you a stronghold." Zhe Lan had his plan in mind.
Letting the power of Yanhuang Magazine quickly penetrate into other counties in Zhongwangzhou will not do any harm to the Intelligence Department. As long as Ding Kui is targeted, Yanhuang Magazine can still rebel. At the same time, with this group of people snooping around
existence, the Spy Intelligence Division saves a lot of effort. They can ask the magazine to assist the Spy Intelligence Division and provide information at any time. Ding Kui can ask the Spy Intelligence Division for assistance, but other people in the magazine do not have this right. The Spy Intelligence Division is guaranteed to make money.
pay.
Now all he needs to do is persuade Ding Kui to send someone to help. If there is a harvest, it is Zhelan who gets the credit. If there is no harvest, it is not Zhelan who works hard. The magazine takes the opportunity to expand and Zhelan welcomes it. To put it simply, he wins no matter what.
Lao Qiantou came back this time and brought several middle-aged women with him. They were the family members of the guards of Zhongxinyuan, and they were responsible for the food and drinks of the Ding Mansion in Pingzhong County.
Under the special training of Lao Qiantou, he can distinguish most of the poisons that can harm Ding Kui. The Bai Jiyin incident reminded this old scout and spy chief that in addition to violent assassinations, potential enemies may also use poisons.
.
In order to thank the flying bird, Ding Kui visited Li Fei several times. Li Fei's request was quite simple. He just hoped that Ding Kui would invite her to his home.
When he was with Li Fei, Ding Kui always thought of Ruan Xingzhu, and felt like a thief in his heart. He always blamed himself: What is this? Xiaozhu and I have nothing to do with each other, and my dealings with Li Fei are aboveboard.
, don’t think blindly, so as not to affect your physical and mental health.
However, there are no eggs.
"Your Majesty, the teacher reprimanded me." Qianyou said listlessly.
"Ah? Is there no news about Xiaozhu?" Ding Kui had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"That's what the teacher said. He asked me not to have anything to do but to summon you, which would affect my junior sister's practice. He also said that if you insist on summoning me, he will lock up your junior sister." Qian You looked helpless.
"He's so cruel, what does your teacher like?"
Qian You glanced at the unwilling Ding Kui and said, "Teacher likes apprentices who are more promising than himself."
Ding Kui opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
It's New Year's Eve in a few days, and the New Year of 487o is about to usher in. The third meridian in Ding Kui's body has widened to its limit. The fighting energy in the meridian is almost full. He can break through to the Blade Knight in at most half a month. .
In essence, Ding Kui is a lively person who likes to stay in noisy cities rather than quiet villages and towns. After leaving Xiaxi Town, he rarely goes back. From Heitu City to Pingzhong County, he buys a place in one place. house.
Ding Kui already knew the secret of the Ding family's old home. It was easier to keep the secret away from Xiaxi Town, so he chose to spend New Year's Eve in the county town.
There are more and more people following Ding Kui, and the Chinese New Year becomes more and more lively every year.
The housekeeper had to guard the old house and did not come to the county town. His apprentice Ding Zhong returned to his hometown and accompanied Ding Kui on behalf of his master.
There were many more people in the inner house led by Ding Xiao, including four young disciples and an aunt, which ended Ding Xiao's previous loneliness.
Among the ten guards, Jiang Shunchuan is missing, but there is one more Wang Bo. Wang Bo is a follower of Qian You and is not included in the establishment. The only one who is not included in the staff is Feng Liang, who can't even go home now.
In addition to taking care of the guards, the four aunts in the outer house also have children who come to school after eleven.
Musen asked his assistant editor to take charge of the magazine compound, and he took a few single reporters to Ding's house to hang out and show up next to Ding Kui as an aide.
"Haha, there are only five adult women in our family, and there are quite a few men." Ding Kui counted the people eating.
Lao Qiantou, Qian You, Feng Liang, Musen and Ding Kui were sitting at the same table.
"When I selected the bodyguards for you, I chose single men mainly because they were free of worries and could follow you, young master." Lao Qiantou explained to Ding Kui.
"The young master is very thoughtful. Only when Yin and Yang are combined can the family prosper and make money." Musen came out to flatter him.
Old Qiantou glared at Musen, and Musen quickly added: "The young master will go to Zhennancheng to compete in the state competition next year, and then he may go to the capital to participate in the national competition. It will be really troublesome for the guards to take care of their families. "
"Mr. Mu, everyone knows this situation. The key is to find a solution." Ding Kui blocked Mu Sen's path and asked him to come up with some useful information.
"There are two ways to solve it. First, let the guards marry female warriors, so that they can at least bear the pain of running around; second, increase the staff around the young master and only accept women or married people. ." Musen's mind worked very quickly and he came up with two ways to fill the hole he dug.
"Female warriors?" Li Fei popped into Ding Kui's mind, and he shook his head to get rid of this nonsense, "How can it be so easy to find? Most female warriors are the daughters of nobles and wealthy families. "
"Increase the establishment?" Feng Liang is interested in this topic. His identity is currently the most embarrassing. "The ten guards are all full. How can we increase the number?"
"In the early days, the right guard of the Internal Security Department also had two squads: the anti-robbery squad and the murder-hunting squad, with chief and deputy squad leaders and a number of handymen respectively.
The rank of a squad leader is equivalent to that of a squadron leader in the army. It is inconspicuous in the capital, but it is already good in the local area." Musen is more knowledgeable about officialdom than other people around Ding Kui. Know more.
"Seizing theft? This requires some means and experience in handling cases; chasing the murderer? Isn't it just chasing the murderer? I understand this, it suits me." Feng Liang looked at Ding Kui energetically. This was no longer a hint, he directly recommended himself.
"Hahaha, senior brother, didn't you hear what Mr. Mu said, if you want a woman and a married woman, which condition do you meet?" Ding Kui said with a joking expression.
Feng Liang turned around and glanced at Ding Xiao at the next table. Ding Xiao happened to look over as well. As soon as their eyes met, Ding Xiao blushed and immediately turned his head to look away.
"Can you extend some time? For example, one year or two years." Feng Liang smiled awkwardly.
"I'm just proposing a draft. The final decision is up to the young master." Musen was afraid that Feng Liang would cause trouble for him, so he kicked the ball to Ding Kui.
"Haha, I was just joking. Being a squad leader with your senior brother's strength would be an understatement. You can do it at any time. Mr. Mu, are there any procedures required for me to arrange a squad leader?" Ding Kui will not be stingy with an official position.
If he couldn't make the decision, there would be no problem with Feng Liang being his right guard.
"You need to write an appointment document, stamp it with the seal of the Right Protector, and submit it to the Department of Internal Security for review and filing. If the review is passed, the Department of Internal Security will issue a waist badge and official uniform. As long as the young master attaches a letter, indicating that the squad leader
If you are responsible for paying the salary, the Director of Internal Security will have no reason to refuse his subordinates to expand their strength." Musen was secretly glad in his heart.
Musen had carefully studied Ding Kui's official position before, just so that one day Ding Kui would ask about this matter, and he could quickly answer it to reflect the value of his staff.
"Is this all right? Well, I'll ask Mr. Mu to write the appointment documents and letters. After the New Year, senior brother will take him to the capital and come back after receiving his waist badge and official uniform. Maybe you can catch up with Dachuan to get married.
"The last sentence was said by Ding Kui to Feng Liang.
"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Mu." Feng Liang took the initiative to toast Mu Sen a glass of wine.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. First of all, congratulations to Team Leader Feng." Musen is a good person, and Team Leader Feng even called on him.
"Congratulations." Qian You also raised his glass to Feng Liang.
"Zhong Wei, the leader of the fourth squadron, has a daughter who is a fighting blade knight. I think she can be the deputy leader of the murder squad." Old Qiantou is familiar with the situation of the guards of the Marquis of Protector, especially several squadron leaders. "It was because of her strength before.
Not enough, Zhong Wei was embarrassed to call her here, for fear of losing the young master's face. Now I think it is good for more people to follow the young master, and you don't need to be too picky in terms of strength."
"No problem. As long as Captain Zhong is willing, we can send her daughter over. If there are good things to do, we will take care of our own people first." Ding Kui paid the most attention to people who were loyal to him or the Ding family.
Zhong Wei was among the first people to respond to Ding Kun's call, and taking care of his daughter Ding Kui felt that it was a matter of course.
Qian Jun and Ding Cai sat together. Although there was a big age difference between them, they had been interacting with each other more since they knelt together that night.
"Did you hear that? The young master wants you guards to marry women who are capable of fighting. From now on, you should look for women who practice martial arts, not those pretty girls who can only look at you." Qian Jun said in Ding Cai's ear.
Ding Cai smiled bitterly and said: "It turns out that I thought that a woman would fall in love with me, but I didn't know that she was a poisonous snake with evil intentions. Alas, from now on I can only go to the land of romance and deceive myself."
"Brother Cai, don't be discouraged. Anything can happen in the world. The woman who likes you might come to you one day." Qian Jun patted Ding Cai's shoulder sympathetically.
Ding Cai poured a bowl of wine into his stomach and asked with straight eyes: "Is it really possible?"
(To think about the arrangements for the next big event, if there is no update at 8 o'clock, it may be updated today.)
