Yao Dan was riding on the shoulders of one of the guards, and several other guards were surrounding him, so that his new shoes and clothes would not be stained by the snow on the ground.??
When they approached the palace, they could already see the passage separated by the imperial army, and Yao Dan's guards became less vigilant.
Just at this moment, a thin piece of ice flew close to the ground and landed at the feet of the guard carrying Yao Dan. No one around him noticed.
The guard's foot slipped and he fell backwards. Yao Dan screamed and fell to the ground. The guard behind him quickly caught Yao Dan in mid-air and helped him stand firm. Several other guards did not know that they were pregnant.
He quickly pushed aside the pedestrians around him and created a small circle.
This caused a small-scale commotion, and there were many low-lying areas on the ground nearby. The snow water was splashed by the panicked crowd, and a few drops may have flown into the mouth of Yao Dan, who was shouting.
"Ah, bah, bah, bah, damn you, can't you even walk? You almost soiled my pants." Yao Dan scolded the guard who was carrying him.
Wei's guard looked around vigilantly. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find it. Seeing that Yao Dan was not injured and it would not affect the trip, he said: "Master, we'd better get there quickly."
Go to the palace, I will punish him well when I get back."
Yao Dan cursed a few more times before walking cautiously on the snow-free ground toward the palace.
General Shi stood not far away, looking at Yao Dan's back, with a smile on his face. He didn't wait for Yao Dan to enter the palace, turned around and squeezed into the crowd of people walking out.
In the middle of the night, Yao Dan, who was playing with the little princess and princes, suddenly held his head and cried out in pain. Before the imperial doctor arrived, Yao Dan was lying motionless on the ground bleeding from his seven holes.
After hearing the news, Yao Mang was furious and ordered Yao Dan's guards to be arrested and tortured. He once again called his most trusted coroner to examine the cause of Yao Dan's death.
"Sir, there is a very small wound in the young master's mouth. It should be a hair-type hidden weapon. This type of hidden weapon passes through the blood vessels and will swell after being soaked in blood for a period of time. It will rupture the blood vessels in the brain and cause
Death from cerebral hemorrhage." The coroner was quite experienced.
"Shaodianmi!" Yao Mang yelled out the name through gritted teeth, "How long has it been since the hidden weapon was injected?"
"It's been five hours." The coroner took a closer look at the wound in Yao Dan's mouth.
"You have to be at least as strong as the Sunset Archer to use this kind of hidden weapon. Five hours is enough for him to run at least a hundred kilometers away." Yao Mang turned green with anger, "Come here, take my belt."
Invite the great archer Qi Yu and implore him to pursue the murderer; in addition, immediately conduct a thorough investigation of the recent people with unknown origins in the capital, and summon all the passes within 500 kilometers of the capital, and do not let any suspicious person go."
Cao State is rich in archers, and Yao Mang could roughly judge the strength of General Shi, so he had to use his most powerful trump card. Even if the great archer came out, he might not be able to catch up.
General Shi was not far from the realm of the Great Archer, and still had a five-hour lead. A heavy snowfall after dawn gave him a helping hand. He successfully escaped the pursuit of the Great Archer, and was on his way to Qi State.
Although the pass was heavily investigated, it could not stop him. Yao Mang could only watch his grandson die in front of him, but the murderer could get away with it.
The people from the Supervision Department of Cao State acted very quickly. They found the "Golden Pavilion" the next day. Based on all the intelligence, they analyzed that the murderer was most likely the number one killer of Shaodian State, General Shi, who "stared for life".
"General Shi? Who is he working for?" Yao Mang summoned his men for a meeting.
The leader of the Intelligence Hall replied: "General Shi was wanted by the Shaodian Kingdom the year before last and his whereabouts are unknown. On the surface, it seems unlikely that he will work for the Shaodian State officials. He is probably employed by some big families."
"Big family? Which big family do I have enmity with? Is it the Ding family or the Jiang family? Have some of our plans been leaked?" Yao Mang was surprised and unsure.
"Both the Ding family and the Jiang family have this possibility. There is intelligence that Ding Kui has completed a huge deal with the Lu Chamber of Commerce and has the financial resources to hire a general. Not to mention the Jiang family, the third-ranked nobleman in the Shaodian Kingdom
, Jiang Tong has recently been promoted to the legendary knight, and he can command generals based on his strength."
"Nonsense, I want to know the answer, who is it?" Yao Mang was very dissatisfied with the answer from the intelligence hall master.
"If the action against the Jiang family is leaked, Qi Shuang of Qi State is also suspected. It is very possible that Shi will be wanted by Shaodian State and flee to Qi State." The leader of the assassination hall joined in the fun, he was
A stumbling block for the intelligence hall master.
"Ding Qi from the Ding family has been elusive. Most of the time, he is nowhere to be found. There is a possibility that he will join forces to serve as generals. Our old hyena disappeared last year. He is a veteran spy of the Supervision Department and may leak our information."
A lot of planning.
Who planned this action against your Excellency cannot be confirmed based on the existing intelligence. My subordinates can only say that Ding Qi is the most likely, and the possibility of the Jiang family and Qi Shuang cannot be completely ruled out. "It's difficult for the intelligence hall master.
, unless he catches General Shi and asks him who instigated it, he cannot give a definite answer.
"Ding Qi? Since I took over the Supervision Department, no one named Ding has died in my hands. On the contrary, many people were lost because of that action. One of my sons and one of my grandsons lost their lives.
Since the enemy cannot be identified, the retaliatory action will be postponed. You will try your best to find out who ordered General Shi. My grandson cannot die in vain!" Yao Mang was very aggrieved, and he took over as the director of the Supervision Department.
Later, the actions against the Ding family always failed, and I felt that I was the victim.
Ding Kui spent the New Year happily in Zhenjing City. He finally felt the lively atmosphere of the big city. The dense crowds made him regain the familiarity he had lost for a long time.
"If we set up a shed in the middle of this street and find some off-season flowers to sell, then this street will become a flower street." Ding Kui said while standing on the bustling Tianxiang Street.
"It's so cold, where can we find flowers? You're so cute, little nail." Zeng Jian went out to go shopping together, and he scoffed at Ding Kui's idea.
"Hey, classmate, you don't understand this. There are no flowers now because the weather is too cold, but if we build a greenhouse and create a warm environment, we can still grow flowers." In this world.
Ding Kui is a great expert in the technical aspects that many people have not yet mastered.
Ding Fen also followed Ding Kui. Since her mother left, she spent more time with Ding Kui. After hearing Ding Kui's words, her eyes lit up. She tugged on the corner of Ding Kui's clothes and said, "What the young master said is
Really? Is it expensive to make a greenhouse like that?"
"Hey, are you interested in giving it a try?" Ding Kui touched Ding Fen's head.
"Yeah." Ding Fen nodded sharply.
"It's expensive. It's not very expensive, but it's troublesome to get it. I don't know if I can find some materials. I won't stay in Zhenjing City for too long. I will try to make one after I return to Pingzhong County." Ding Kui
I have seen a greenhouse, I know the general principles, and I can still make it after some trial and error.
"Then it's agreed, the young master will help me build a greenhouse when I get back, so that the flowers can bloom in winter." Ding Fen was a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted.
"Hahaha, okay, I will definitely do what I promised Xiaohua." Privately, Ding Kui still liked to call Ding Fen and Ding Xiao by their nicknames.
"Junior brother, every time you come up with a new idea, it is an idea that can make money. Can you make a lot of money again this time? There is an opportunity for us to cooperate with the Feng family in Hecheng." Feng's heart moved.
"Oh, Senior Brother, you are a drunkard and don't care about drinking. The purpose is not as simple as money." Ding Kui looked at Feng Liang with a smile.
"I know you can guess the key points." Feng Liang glanced at Ding Xiao beside him.
"Yes, yes, this matter can really only be done by the lord. There are too many things involving local government. A few days before New Year's Eve, choosing the busiest street in the territory and using bamboo to build temporary shops in it may not necessarily
We only sell flowers, but we can also sell lanterns, silks, snacks, etc.
After the New Year, when there are not so many people going out, those shops can be demolished. There is no need to rebuild a street, and the transaction of goods can be increased in a short period of time, which can increase both rental income and tax revenue, allowing the lord to make a small profit.
Pen." Ding Kui, who comes from Nanmen Gate of his motherland, is very familiar with this model.
"Okay, it sounds very good, and it can be held once a year. It is not difficult to run. I think my father will be satisfied with this idea. If I mention it again, there won't be such strong opposition."
Feng Liang rubbed his hands.
Feng Liang mentioned to his father Feng Kuang that he wanted to marry Ding Xiao, but Feng Kuang strongly opposed it. Because Ding Xiao is Ding Kui's personal maid, first of all, her status is low, and secondly, her relationship with Ding Kui is easy to be arranged.
The Feng family's reputation will have a negative impact.
Without the support of the family, if Feng Liang insists on marrying Ding Xiao, it is likely that Feng Liang will be expelled from the Feng family, which is not a good thing for the two of them. Feng Liang has been trying to get Feng Kuang to agree and bring enough to the family.
The benefit is one of the methods.
"Hey, it's hard to change your father's attitude at once. If exchange of interests can be a condition, I will support you as much as possible." Ding Kui was also helpless about Feng Liang's situation. His current identity and
Not enough status to change Feng Kuang's concept.
"Master, I will have no problem serving you for the rest of my life. You don't have to worry too much." Ding Xiao felt that his affairs had put the master in a difficult position.
"Look at what you said. You are the closest person to me. Just like my sister, there will be more and more people serving me in the future. Just take care of them. You are not young anymore. You should do it.
It would be best to settle the matter as soon as possible, and it would be most appropriate for me to handle this matter for you." Ding Kui attaches great importance to Ding Xiao's marriage.
