"Boy, how dare you!" Cai Ting hurriedly pulled Cai Ying to the side, held a gun with both hands and stabbed the murderous aura, then he grunted and took three steps back, with a look of horror in his eyes. ?? w?w

After Ding Kun broke into the encirclement, Cai Ting had been paying attention to him and felt that this person was a great threat. When Jiang Nan told what happened, Cai Ting realized that something was wrong, until Ding Kun became angry and the above scene appeared
.
Ding Kun was angry and laughed at the same time. What he laughed about was that he had not heard the title "boy" for many years. What he was angry about was that facing an old man who was older than him, he could not refute being called "boy".
Cai Ying's face was as black as the bottom of a pot at this time, and she shouted at Ding Kun: "Ding Kun, don't bully others too much! The Cai family definitely did not participate in the murder of Ding Duhu. If you insist on being aggressive, I, Cai Ying, will win the battle."
Every last soldier, I will fight you to the death."
The Cai brothers and Cai Ting quickly retreated to their team, armed with weapons and angry, and a battle was about to break out.
It can be said that Cai Ying had bad luck. On the front foot came Jiang Nan, who rushed into his property and arrested his people; on the back foot came a more ferocious Ding Kun, who opened his mouth to demolish his house.
The problem is that these two groups of murderers have joined together. If they really want to demolish his house, they cannot be stopped.
"Cough, cough, cough, everyone, please be patient. We are all the pillars of the country. It is the Shaodian Kingdom that will be harmed by taking action." This voice sounded in everyone's ears, just like the speaker was telling it in their ears.
Same.
Then a young man in colorful clothes floated down from a restaurant next to the street and landed between the two groups.
"This junior is the director of the Intelligence Department, Shaodianmi." The young man in Chinese attire first saluted Ding Kun, then smiled and nodded to Cai Ying and Jiang Nan.
Ding Kun was very satisfied with Shaodianmi's attitude, bowed slightly to him and said, "What a coincidence that Director Shaodian came here. I guess everything is under the control of the Intelligence Department."
Cai Ying walked out of the team again, bowed to Shaodian secretly and said: "Xiaoguan has met Mr. Secretary. Someone has framed me for this matter. I hope Mr. Secretary will investigate clearly and clear Xiguan's name."
Although Shaodianmi is young, he has an official position, so Cai Ying can only be honest when facing him.
The Intelligence Department has the power to make emergency decisions. Although it cannot deprive nobles of their titles, there is no need to ask for instructions when arresting people. If you are caught in the Prison of the Intelligence Department, even if you are not guilty, you will be found guilty. Shaodian Mi is
One of the most unoffending people in this kingdom.
Shaodianmi looked at Jiang Nan and said, "Please hand over all the people to me. The Intelligence Department will definitely find out about this matter. Then Duke Jiang, I will report to the king, and the king will give him an explanation in person."
Having said that, Jiang Nan's mission had been completed, so he readily handed over the Funiu Mountain military advisor and the chariot and horse deacon Wu to Shaodian Mi.
"Old Ding, someone is trying to kill Ding Duhu. The king is deeply outraged and strictly orders the younger generation to investigate the matter thoroughly. All those who commit crimes will be severely punished! Please also tell the old man to tell the Marquis of Protector and Ding Duhu that Shaodian will be here one day.
We will never allow anyone to plot against the Ding family." Shaodianmi said to Ding Kun sincerely.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. The Ding family will abide by the ancestral precepts and protect the country of Shaodian." Speaking of the king, Ding Kun said respectfully in the direction of Zhenjing City.
The Director of the Intelligence Department handled the matter personally, and all three parties present had no objections.
Cai Ying sent back all his troops and invited everyone to the city lord's palace.
Nobles are all decent people. No matter how uncomfortable they feel, they still have to do enough on the surface. Besides, it is much better for an An Guogong and a Protector to be friends than enemies.
However, an accident happened as soon as they arrived at the city lord's mansion.
The people from the Intelligence Department escorted Deacon Wu into the cell of the City Lord's Mansion and found a poison from Deacon Wu's mouth. Little did he know that there was a poisonous needle hidden in the back of his head.
Deacon Wu knew that he had fallen into the hands of his colleagues, and he no longer took any chances. When others were not paying attention, he hit himself in the back of the head, stabbed himself with a poisonous needle, and committed suicide.
This accident actually helped Cai Ying get rid of the suspicion. Shaodian secretly checked the poison found in Deacon Wu's mouth and confirmed that it was the same as the poison taken by Cao Guo's spies in Shuangyong City, confirming Deacon Wu's identity as Cao Guo's spy.
.
"One thing to note is that when we attacked Funiu Mountain, two level five masters came, an early-stage sunset archer and a mid-stage general-killing warrior." Ding Kun raised doubts.
"Did you capture Funiu Mountain with three level five masters?" Cai Ying asked in surprise.
"Yeah, but I didn't catch those three people and let them run away." Ding Kun felt a little angry when he thought of this.
Cai Ying gasped after hearing this, and her teeth hurt from the cold.
Excluding Jiang Nan and his party, how powerful is the Ding family?
When there was only one big family in the past, the Cai family could not solve the banditry problem in Funiu Mountain.
The Ding family has hidden at least one fifth-level master. Including the Protector Marquis who has not left home, there are three known fifth-level masters. Who can underestimate this seemingly declining family in the future.
"There are two more people? It stands to reason that they cannot be sent by Cao Guo. Otherwise, these two people could just go to Xiaxi Town directly. Why bother to stop you in Funiu Mountain? We can secretly send two fifth-level masters, Shaodianguo
Including your Ding family, none of them can surpass the fifteenth family." Shaodianmi's words hit the mark.
Although the matter was not thoroughly investigated, because the suspicion of the Cai family in Kengzhu City had been cleared, Ding Kun and Jiang Nan took people back to their respective families. Shaodianmi also returned to Zhenjing City with full of questions and asked the king
Shao Diandan’s report.
It would be easier for Jiang Nan to go back and just report the truth.
Ding Kun and Lao Qiantou have a lot of things to do together, including the income from the mountain attack, the nails buried, etc.
Only Shaodianmi was the most depressed. After leaving the capital this time, he only completed half of the mission.
In early May of the year 4867, Shaodianmi returned to Zhenjing City. He investigated all the files of the Intelligence Department in the past two years, and then sent spies to the suspected families to find out who had missing an ear. He worked hard for ten days.
, still found nothing.
With nothing in his hands, Shaodianmi went to the palace to report back to the king with a feeling of helplessness and regret.
Shaodiandan met Shaodianmi in the imperial study. The forty-year-old Shaodiandan had long black and red hair draped casually on his shoulders. A pair of thick black straight eyebrows slanted against his shining star eyes, and he was generous.
The lips are particularly conspicuous on the thin chin.
"The humble minister Shaodian pays a secret visit to the king."
"Excuse me, how did the investigation go?"
"Back to your Majesty, the murder of Ding Duhu this time can be basically confirmed to be the work of spies of the Cao Kingdom. Last year in Shuanglong City, the ministers found out that the spies of the Cao Kingdom were moving, but they didn't know their purpose. This time in Kengzhu City
The captured prisoner committed suicide using a poison unique to Cao's spies, which suddenly made the ministers realize that an order had been issued from Cao's headquarters to murder Ding Duhu."
"Cao Guo, your enemy is Cao Guo's uncle Yao Mang?"
"Exactly, judging from this incident, the people who ambushed the Ding family back then were probably sent by the Cao State."
Shao Diandan stood up from his chair, walked slowly to the window, and looked at the white clouds floating in the sky.
Shaodianmi also hurriedly followed him and continued to report: "In the past ten years or so, there has been very little movement from Cao's spies. Only this time they targeted Ding Duhu. They even used several long-hidden nails. This
This reflects the resolute attitude of Cao Guo’s top management, and it seems that they are inseparable from the incident nine years ago.”
"Well, keep talking."
"The Ding family has been presiding over the wars in the past hundred years. The Protector of the Country has a high position in the military. He is the cornerstone of protecting our Shaodian Kingdom. He is a thorn in the side of Cao and Qi and a thorn in their flesh. They use a large number of
It is not surprising at all that manpower and material resources are used to deal with the Ding family."
Originally, Ding Xingwang, a member of the Ding family, had an accident more than a hundred years ago.
The ancestral fighting skills of the Ding family have been practiced to the limit of the fearless knight, but a direct descendant named Ding Zhen actually broke through to the dominating knight when he returned from traveling.
In order for Ding Zhen to gain military glory, he was appointed as the commander of the Second Army Corps guarding Shanyuan Prefecture.
Not long after he took office, when he was inspecting border defense, he was attacked by the Qi army and unfortunately was seriously injured and died.
This talented ancestor of the Ding family only had time to leave one sentence: "The ancestral home in Xiaxi Town will never be abandoned."
Later, in order to avenge Dingzhen, Shaodian State launched more than ten wars against Qi State, which lasted for more than a hundred years.
Many people in the Ding family have died in the war for more than a hundred years, and now the only direct descendants left are Ding Qi and Ding Kui, father and son.
"Is there anyone in our country involved in this?" Shaodiandan asked what he was most worried about.
"It's hard to judge right now. There are two mysterious masters involved this time. We should be damned. We still can't find out their origins."
"Do these two people have any dealings with Cao's spies?"
"On the surface, there is no contact. Judging from Cao Guo's operation, it seems that no high-level combatants were used. I checked all the suspicious families, and they all behaved normally. The most suspicious one is that family."
"Having no dealings with spies, huh, I guess these people still have some conscience. When dealing with people in our own country, we must have conclusive evidence. We can investigate based on suspicion, but we cannot alert the enemy.
Since Cao Guo has suspicions, he cannot let them go and kill them! They must be killed painfully. They are afraid of killing! I think when I first came to the throne, they gave me a generous gift. You can arrange a return gift immediately and swear to let them do it.
Unforgettable.”
Shaodianmi saw Shaodiandan's clenched fists from behind, and knew how resentful his king was. He did not dare to say anything else, and replied respectfully: "Yes, I will do it immediately, and I will definitely let Uncle Cao Guo
Regret what he did."
Shaodiandan waved his hand and asked Shaodianmi to leave first.
After a while, he slowly loosened his clenched fists, walked slowly back to the desk, picked up a pen and started drawing on a piece of snow-white silk.
The eunuch serving in the royal study quickly went to the desk to sharpen the ink. After a few strokes, the eunuch saw that Shaodian Dan was painting a woman.
