"Sir, I have asked the commander's personal soldiers in detail, and it is true that the commander has never seen this official document." Liang rushed to Zhang Jie to report.
Zhang Jie looked helplessly at the files on the desktop, knowing that he couldn't get rid of this hot potato, so he had to pick it up and look through it.
"Let the first brigade come back. I don't know how Ji Dai died. The one who beat him must be one of our people. We must give these boys a good beating." Zhang Jie never believed that his men would assassinate the local magistrate and beat him to death on the spot. possible.
The commander's military order had been issued, and Zhang Jie had no choice but to ignore it. He knew what his soldiers would do. Wang Deng's attitude was to do his best on the surface, and he also needed to follow the commander's wishes.
Ding Kui led his troops back to the division's headquarters. Liu Yu's inference and Liang Chong's tip made him very clear about the reason for being called back this time. Before Zhang Jie could send someone to call him, he took Red and took the initiative to come to the door.
"Your Majesty, I have come to apologize." He pulled Red and knelt down on one knee.
"Oh? What are you guilty of?" Zhang Jie didn't even look at Ding Kui or Reid.
"The lack of strict discipline among my subordinates caused Red, the first team of the 'Ding Kui Squadron', to act recklessly. After a conflict with local officials, he even took revenge privately. The subordinate's crime was due to poor supervision and he should plead guilty to the adults." Ding Kui first committed to one of his charges, but he couldn't do it. This left Zhang Jie with nothing to report to his superiors.
"What's going on? Tell me carefully." Zhang Jie put his management energy on other brigades, believing that Ding Kui could train the first brigade into an elite force, and usually did not interfere with the affairs of the first brigade.
Ding Dao asked Red to tell the story of his encounter with Ji Dai, and confessed that he had given instructions to teach Ji Dai afterwards.
"Li Yan sued you for secretly poisoning Ji Dai. Is this true?" Zhang Jie asked directly.
Ding Kui said without changing his expression: "False accusation! I have no grudge against the Nanqiu County Governor, so why did he frame me like this? My lord, I am willing to go with you to find that Li Yan to confront him."
"Ji Dai is dead. Nanqiu County Sheriff has the right to investigate. His suspicion of you is not completely without basis. If he didn't instigate you to instigate his subordinates to beat Ji Dai, how could Li Yan falsely accuse you?" Zhang Jie had already decided in his heart that Li Yan Falsely accusing Ding Kui.
"The county guard can't catch the wind and rely on his own guesses to solve the case. Wouldn't it bring chaos to the world if he did it? No, my subordinates must teach him a profound lesson." Ding Kui was furious and would copy the guy if he disagreed with him. Look.
"Reckless, we can use fists to solve the problem on the battlefield. This is a domestic political matter. After all, he is an official of the kingdom. How can he resort to force to solve the problem? You will write a report in detail about the incident, and I will do it for you. This is forwarded to the head coach, and it is up to the head coach to decide how to deal with this matter." Zhang Jie grimaced, the dignity of a superior officer needs to be maintained.
"Everything is up to you, sir. Li Yan is so vicious, my subordinates will definitely not let him off lightly in the future."
Ding Kui's reaction was in line with his status. If he just kept defending himself without losing his temper, it would arouse others' suspicion. How could the prince-in-law be framed at will?
Zhang Jie symbolically summoned several of Ding Kui's subordinates for questioning, then stamped his seal on the report submitted by Ding Kui, and specially appointed Liang Chong to send it to the base camp.
Before Liangchong arrived at the base camp, a personal letter from Duke An Guo was delivered to Shao Dianxi. The letter was just about chatting about family matters, and the last few lines mentioned helping the reconstruction of Nanmao Prefecture's towns affected by the war.
Jiang Li's meaning is very obvious. He said that you, Young Dianxi, should not embarrass Ding Kui because of the little patrol captain. The help the Jiang family can provide you can be worth ten days.
Shao Dianxi is not short of money, but Nanma Prefecture is short of finances. The war has spread to four or five counties. There is no income and they need to be rebuilt, which makes him worry a lot. The Jiang family is powerful and has the power of the Senate, so it helps Nanma a little. The state can relieve him a lot of pressure at once, and he hardly has to think about which one to choose between Li Yan and Ding Kui.
Liang Chong handed over Zhang Jie's investigation report and waited outside the headquarters, waiting for Wang Deng to summon him for questioning. However, he seemed to have been forgotten and was left hanging outside the door. It was almost dark before the staff arrived. Come out and tell him he can go back.
It turned out that Wang Deng had just received a secret letter from Jiang Li. Jiang Li asked him to handle the matter of investigating Ding Kui coldly. It was best to delay the reply, indicating that Nanzhao Prefecture Mu also had the same attitude. No one except Li Yan was in a hurry about this matter. In order to get the result, even Li Yan had other motives. What he cared about was not giving an explanation to the dead Ji Dai but his own safety.
The word "drag" is the most commonly used word in Shaodianguo's officialdom, especially when superiors are dealing with subordinates. Troublesome things will usually be dragged away. If you encounter a superior with poor abilities, promotion will become difficult. And distant things.
The matter of Li Yan's lawsuit against Ding Kui was reduced to a very small scope by the joint efforts of all parties, and the conflict in Nanqiu County was not intensified. Li Yan wanted to expose the matter of Ding Kui's close contact with the beautiful magician, but lacked enough attention. No good person would delve into this matter. If he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know when the next one will come, but for the time being, he can guarantee that he will not be harmed by Ding Kui.
Ding Kui did not return to Juyang City immediately. Zhang Jie announced that he would be severely punished and beaten with thirty military sticks. A man who had just been beaten with military sticks could not walk out arrogantly, so he could only stay in the military camp and pretend to be dead.
Li Fei and Ruan Xingzhu knew that they had brought some trouble to Ding Kui, and of course they would not blame Ding Kui for not accompanying them. Moreover, they were busy with something. At Ding Kui's suggestion, they founded a welfare home to take care of those who had lost their children. The elderly adopt orphans whose parents have died and provide temporary shelter to homeless people.
The welfare home only seeks welfare and not profit, and only cares about the most disadvantaged groups. It was well received not long after its establishment. Not only the elderly and children in Juyang City, but also people in need of help from other places came here here. It also attracted many gentry. Businessmen donated their money one after another to provide sponsorship for the welfare home.
Human beings are loving wherever they are, and good deeds are easily accepted. Institutions that specifically provide help to the poor have never appeared in the Shenyuan world before. The welfare home, Li Fei, and Ruan Xingzhu quickly overshadowed the Huaxia Chilled Food Store. It is not only popular among the upper class people but also praised by the people at the bottom.
If someone jumps out to spread rumors that are unfavorable to Li Fei and Ruan Xingzhu, they will definitely be despised by the public. Sometimes the hearts of the people at the bottom have great power, and the people at the top have to pay attention to them.
Liu Yu and Fei Ze were very talented people, otherwise they would not have been chosen as secretaries by Ding Dao. They were already senior civilian officials in the commander-in-chief's office. Unfortunately, after Ding Dao's death, they became indifferent to each other. Not to mention being reused and not being squeezed out, you are lucky enough.
The two of them resigned and returned home in their thirties, with unexplainable reasons. What they hoped in their hearts was that Ding Qi could revive the Ding family. Now Ding Qi couldn't see any improvement, but Ding Kui gave them hope.
The matter between Ji Dai and Li Yan was not easy to deal with, but with the clever arrangement of Ding Kui's think tank, the danger was saved and Ding Kui was temporarily pulled out of the predicament.
Before Ding Kui could finish pretending to be dead, an imperial edict was sent to the Nanqiu County military camp. The royal family decided to hold an engagement ceremony for the eldest princess and Ding Kui in October. Ding Kui was ordered to set off for the capital and summoned relatives and friends of the Ding family to rush to the capital in October.
We arrived in Zhenjing a few months ago to attend the engagement ceremony together.
Ding Kui didn't need to consult with the think tank to guess that the news of his travels with the beautiful woman had still reached the king's ears. There were still more than two months before the engagement ceremony, and the Magic Association and its branches could open the portal for the prince consort.
There is no need to go to the capital so far in advance.
This imperial edict can keep him away from the land of right and wrong. Regardless of whether he has a special relationship with Li Fei and Ruan Xingzhu, as long as he is far apart, it will not affect the subsequent engagement ceremony, and at the same time, it will prevent people from making a fuss.
The person who sent the imperial edict was Li Hong, Ding Kui's former superior. The Zuo Duhu of the Internal Security Department came to monitor the situation. The supervisor Ding Kui immediately went out after receiving the imperial edict.
"Master Commander, your personal soldiers will stay here to take over. Please leave with me immediately." Li Hong is now Ding Kui's subordinate.
"Haha, Brother Li, don't be so polite in private. I need to explain something. Please wait outside."
"Yes, I don't want to take this humble position. Please feel free to tell me, I will wait for you outside." Li Hong walked out of the room.
"Ding Yu, you and Ding Cai stay here and take good care of your cousin. You will be responsible for the training of the first brigade. Let Tao Mu, Qian You and Ding Fen escort Mr. Liu to the capital and go to the Protector's Mansion to find me.
All matters in Yangcheng will be decided by Grandpa Qian."
Ding Kui didn't explain much. The key was to keep the two giant dragons and not let them show up in the capital. A knowledgeable person might guess their true identities. He has learned Liu Yu's skills and believes that they can get engaged this time.
The ceremony could help him solve some of his problems, so he specially ordered Liu Yu to be brought along.
Li Hong didn't wait long outside the room when he saw Ding Kui coming out with a small baggage on his shoulder, so he stepped forward and asked: "Sir, you are really neat in doing things. Is it enough to take this little thing to the capital? I can get a little more for my humble job."
Help you carry it."
"Hey, can the royal family prepare less for me? Don't forget that I still have a home in the capital, and I have enough clothes to change on the way to Nanjing. Oh, by the way." Ding Kui took out a handful of gold coins from his pocket.
He forcefully handed it to Li Hong and said, "Take it! This is my order! Brothers, if you have come so far, you only have a little money for a drink. Just think of me as a reward for you on behalf of the eldest princess."
"Oh, I thank the eldest princess and the prince-in-law for your humiliation." Li Hong happily accepted the gold coins.
There is nothing wrong with the reward from the eldest princess, but it cannot be regarded as bribery by Ding Kui.
This time he goes to Zhenjing City is different from the last time Ding Kui went there. Last time he went to participate in the knight competition, and his influence was limited to the younger generation. But this time the engagement with the eldest princess has a great impact, and more people will pay attention to him.
, many of them are troubles, and he is destined not to be as relaxed as last time.
