Of course he knew who Ding Kui was. His compatriot was a thorn in the flesh of the Ding family. His patron, the new loyal prince Pi, was a feud of the Ding family. Ding Kui had ten thousand reasons to kill him.
The men sent to the Protector's Mansion earlier were obviously on official business, to learn about the murders on the street, but in fact they were to disgust Ding Kui, who was suspected of being poached, and to make people discuss Ding Kui's motive for the murder.
He has no choice in his stance and will always be labeled as the sworn enemy of the Ding family.
Ding Kui's fingers were like hooks, and he clawed at Yang Qia's throat.
Yang Qia is a shield-breaking knight in the later period. How could someone who can lead the inspection office not have two brushes and rich experience in armed and unarmed fighting?
Seeing Ding Kui's intention, he immediately made a choice, turned his left hand upward, and changed his fist into a claw to meet Ding Kui's five fingers.
The fingers of both hands are interlocked and grasped together.
Both sides exert force at the same time.
There was a click, and there was an obvious sound of bone breaking.
"Ah! Ding Kui, please don't rant, everyone present..." Yang Qia wrapped one of Ding Kui's hands in an attempt to tell the difference for himself.
However, Ding Kui was determined to kill and did not give Yang Xia any more chance to explain. He twisted his right hand and punched Yang Xia's chest with his left fist.
The pressure on Yang Qia's chest increased sharply, and he had no time to finish what he said. He used his hands and feet to use all his strength to resolve the punch.
In terms of strength and speed, Ding Kui completely crushed Yang Qia. With both mental arithmetic and unintentional calculations, Ding Kui had the upper hand as soon as they met. He pulled Yang Qia with his right hand, causing Yang Qia to lose his balance. He spread out his left hand to hold down Yang Qia's arm, and his left elbow followed the trend.
It was sent forward and hit Yang Qia's right chest hard.
The officers and soldiers of the Inspection Office saw the fight between the two men in the courtyard and heard their conversation clearly, but no one stepped forward to help Yang negotiate or separate the two.
Just kidding, Yang Qia personally admitted that the woman was the eldest princess, and the man was Ding Kui, the "Flying General" of the 2o1 Division. The group of strong men staring at him with eager eyes were undoubtedly the guards of the Marquis of Protector. No one of them could be offended by the Inspection Office.
Started.
The eldest princess had already revealed her identity, and her purpose was just to enter the lobby of the inspection office. Attacking her would not be considered a capital crime, but in serious calculation, she would have to serve at least ten years of hard labor.
Not to mention Ding Kui, have you ever seen a get-out-of-jail gold medal, and have you ever heard of someone who hasn't seen him? He doesn't attack you for no reason. He will convict you before he beats you. Once the lawsuit turns into a frivolous lawsuit, he will win without losing.
The guards of the Marquis of Protector are famous far and wide. A squadron is enough to sweep through the inspection office. Who dares to go up and provoke them?
"Ahem, poof." Yang Qia sat down on the ground, his right chest was hit hard and his breathing was bloody.
Ding Kui followed up with a kick and kicked the center of the body. Yangqi flew backwards a few meters and lay on the ground. He saw that the air was coming in less and more air was coming out.
"Okay!" Shao Dianluan was a little panicked and ran forward to protect Ding Kui, fearing that he would take action again.
Ding Kui couldn't struggle, so he had to stand with his hands down and said: "Your Highness, I will never allow anyone to harm you, even if you have that idea. Come on, arrest everyone who did it just now."
"Yes!" Quan Sihai led his guards to save him.
Just now, I watched from the side but did not take action. I had already remembered the person who intercepted them in my heart, and now I have a clear goal when I rush out.
The city defense army in Zhenjing City currently has 10,000 people, which is exactly the size of a division. The commander is equivalent to the division commander, and there is also a city defense staff.
Xie Ti was the fourth commander-in-chief of the city defense army after Shaodian Dan ascended the throne. He had been responsible for the security of the capital for five years.
Having just received a report from the guards, they heard that Ding Kui and his men had gone to the inspection office to cause trouble. Xie Ti was about to go over and have a look, but was blocked by a staff officer halfway through.
"Where are you going, sir?"
"Ding Kui took a hundred people to the inspection office. I was afraid that Yang Qia would suffer a loss, so I wanted to take a look."
"My lord, do you know that the eldest princess is also present?" the staff officer asked and moved out of the way, no longer blocking the way of the commander-in-chief.
Jie Ti was slightly startled and had no intention of going forward. He asked, "Why did the eldest princess go to the inspection office? Your Highness rarely appears in irrelevant places. Doesn't Prince Consort Ding want to use His Highness's hand to teach Yang Qia a lesson?"
"
"Why not? Ding Kui killed her in anger before noon because she was not the Speaker's Princess. Yang Qia sent people to the Protector's Mansion to inquire about the case. You should be aware of the recent rumors. Ding Kui is probably in the hot seat."
"I'm just afraid that Ding Kui will make a mess. A squadron of men is enough to wipe out the inspection office."
"There are rumors going around that are unfavorable to the eldest princess. Will the royal family ignore it? Ding Kui and His Highness are out to make trouble. Doesn't the king know about it?" The staff officer looked around and lowered his voice and said, "The people behind the rumors are waiting for a scapegoat.
"
"Hey, you mean?" Xie Ti immediately understood what the staff officer meant, "You can't handle the affairs of the Inspection Office?"
"I can't control it."
"This commander is going to inspect various sects. Do you want to stay in the camp or come with me?" Xie Ti suddenly changed his mind.
The city defense army is not monolithic, the staff officer and Yang Qia are obviously not the same people, and the rumors about Shaodian Luan have also attracted the attention of many people.
Shao Dian Luan pulled Ding Kui with a worried look on his face, pointed at Yang Qia with a wooden stick, and complained in a low voice: "You are too cruel. I'm afraid that man won't survive. Hurry up and find a way to save him."
"Yangqia ordered his men to besiege you. It is a capital crime. Don't worry about him. I will bear the responsibility if anything happens." Ding Kui bit Yangqia to death in an attempt to murder Shao Diianluan.
"No, there were people who stopped him from confronting you and me when he came out. I don't think he is what you said." Shao Dianluan had his own judgment and did not blindly follow Ding Kui.
An unmarried couple was chatting in the front yard of the inspection office. They rode a fast horse and rushed to the gate. The knight jumped down and came to Ding Kui's side in three steps and two steps at a time.
Ding Kui and the guards knew the visitor. It was Jiang Nan, the guard of Jiang Mansion.
"Young Master, I have invited you to accompany your subordinates to the Jiang Mansion immediately." After Jiang Nan finished speaking, he saluted the eldest princess.
"Well, here." Ding Kui hasn't settled the matter at the inspection office yet.
"You go quickly, Anguo Guild will blame me for being late." Shao Dianluan pushed Ding Kui out.
She was worried that Ding Kui would not be able to contain his murderous nature and would attack the people in the inspection office later.
"Okay, Grandpa Hai, please escort His Highness back to the palace." Ding Kui greeted Quan Sihai before following Jiang Nan and leaving.
"Why is uncle so anxious to find me?" Ding Kui asked Jiang Nan on the way.
"I don't know, I just asked you to take you back home as soon as possible."
Ding Kui was a little depressed, but the purpose of going out this time had been achieved, and he knew that Jiang Li would not harm him, so there must be a reason for asking him to go.
When he arrived at Jiang Mansion, he saw that the servants were busier than usual, and he thought: There is a guest here. Did you ask me to come here just to meet this guest?
Ding Kui, who was full of worries, was taken to the living room of Jiang Mansion, where it was confirmed that his idea was mostly correct.
There is a mahjong table in the living room. Four noble gentlemen are playing cards and talking and laughing. Three of them are known to Ding Kui, Jiang Li, Jiang Xi and Long Tan. The last one is the oldest, but it can be seen that his status is not as high as
The other three were lower.
Ding Kui entered the living room without greeting the elders first. Instead, he took the teapot from the maid's hand and came to the table to pour tea for the four card players. The first one he poured was the one he didn't recognize.
"Haha, the prince-in-law is very polite and worthy of being a son of a famous family." The old man seemed to have just noticed Ding Kui.
"I made you laugh." It was Jiang Li's turn to draw the card.
He held the card in his hand and said to Ding Kui: "Let me introduce to you, this is the current emperor of the dynasty, the Duke of Beizhen, and the Duke of Tang Dynasty."
"Tang Jun!" The doubts in Ding Kui's heart were immediately cleared. "No wonder they called me here in a hurry. The Tang family came to express their position, saying that they have nothing to do with the rumor."
After he figured it out, he quickly put down the teapot, raised his left arm parallel to his chest, made a fist with his right hand and put it on his waist, and made a ninety-degree bow towards Tang Jun.
"Ding Kui pays homage to the Duke of Beizhen."
"Okay, okay, no need to be polite, I am also a guest of the Jiang Mansion." Tang Jun stretched out his hand to help.
Long Tan said unceremoniously: "It's okay to pretend to be a guest, but you can't save on the greetings, right? My son-in-law doesn't even care about me. I'll pour you tea first as a courtesy. Master Tang, you can't be stingy."
"Haha, should I marry my father-in-law or my uncle? I haven't spoken yet." Jiang Xi said with a smile.
"Oh, don't get married. The prince-in-law is also my grandson-in-law." Tang Jun stroked his beard and smiled, "Well, I have a yard in Dongshi, and now I rent it to others as a teahouse. I will ask the housekeeper to send the land deed to Ding later.
Mansion."
The Duke's actions were indeed extraordinary, and he gave him a place in a busy city as a greeting gift. It can no longer be described as lavish.
Jiang Li laughed and scolded: "You old guy, you just give gifts when you give them. Why are you taking advantage of us for nothing? You will be our generation's elder."
"Kui'er thanked the father-in-law." Ding Kui didn't know what to call himself, so he simply mentioned it vaguely.
"Yes, you call him grandson-in-law, and I call him son-in-law. Then what should I call you?" Long Kun slapped his thigh.
"Hahaha, are you embarrassed to win your elders' money?" Tang Jun laughed proudly.
"There are no parents at the mahjong table. Stop gossiping and Lao Jiang will play your cards soon." Long Kun returned his attention to the game.
"Don't worry, Whiteboard." Jiang Li flicked his fingers, and a card jumped out of the deck, "Kui'er, when you have time, take the eldest princess to meet the elders. Don't run around."
"Yes, Kui'er knows about it and will invite His Highness later." Ding Kui knew full well that Jiang Li was criticizing him for going to the inspection office to cause trouble.
"Young people should be careful when taking action. You have just come off the battlefield and you can kill people with just that murderous aura. You'd better be careful." Long Kun was also beating Ding Kui at the side.
"He has been in dangerous places for a long time and is used to not leaving a way out for the enemy. As an elder, you should be more considerate, but don't do things yourself that can be done by your subordinates."
Tang Jun's words have several meanings. Ding Kui's fatal attack was excusable. Even if it was a bit excessive, his achievements must be considered. Finally, he was advised not to take direct action in the future.
Just as Jiang Xi was about to open his mouth, the butler poked his head outside the hall, "What's the matter?" He turned to ask the butler.
Jiang Nai then walked into the living room and said, "The Director of Internal Security came to the door and said he was looking for the young master to pass on the King's oral instructions."
