"Don't try to provoke me, I won't be fooled!" Ding Wei waved his hand, his beard twitching on his lips.
However, before he finished speaking, he quickly added: "Tell me, what kind of huge dharma is it? Otherwise, you can never trick me into opening your eyes again!"
"At least two of the five most powerful wealthy families in Qingzhou are involved. One family has sons and grandsons who are the current prefects, and the other family is the fourth-rank capital of Denglai Navy, Yuhou!" Han Qing knew that the heat was coming, so he couldn't help it.
Then he deliberately tried to pass things off. He organized his language and solemnly added, "In addition, several local officials from Deng, Lai, and Wei prefectures are also involved. The specific number of people involved in the case needs to be further verified!"
"Hiss—" Ding Wei took a breath of air, and his face instantly became extremely solemn.
There are only eight states in total under the jurisdiction of Jingdong East Road. Han Qing brought officials from three states into the scope of the case in one breath. If the other party joins forces to counterattack, how can it be so small?
After Han Qing became the founding father of the country, it was easy to get an official position, and it would not be a pity if he lost it. But he, Ding Wei, spent ten years of hard study and fifteen years of ups and downs in officialdom before he climbed to the position of fourth-rank transfer envoy. He lost it.
, there may never be a day of recovery.
But now that he was leaving, he couldn't feel at ease.
On the one hand, it was because he felt sorry for the military achievements and windfall that Han Qing had given to him in vain. Of course, this only accounted for a very small part of the reason.
On the other hand, and the main reason was that he couldn't bear the opportunity to make great achievements, and it was in vain.
With Ding Wei's experience, he has long known that there is no free lunch in the world.
Whether it’s officialdom or shopping malls, the greater the risk, the more generous the dividends will be.
But now it seems that Han Qing dragged him to send troops this time, ostensibly to conquer the Chunyang Sect. In his heart, he must be heading for the real culprit behind the Zhang Wengong case!
Compared with the credit for capturing the real culprit of Zhang Wengong's assassination, the credit for destroying three Chunyang Cult branches in a row may not be worth a toe of the latter!
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly appeared in Ding Wei's mind.
Got it, he got it all!
Why is it that every time a Chunyang Sect cottage is breached, Han Qing can immediately get clues to the next cottage?
The man surnamed Han has not been idle at all in the past few months. On the surface, he is fighting with the Yan family and is busy. In fact, he has already sent people to divide the rudder positions of several places in the Chunyang Sect.
After touching it, everything was clear.
The direction of his trip has been decided a long time ago. Therefore, no matter which of the Chunyang Sect's strongholds is conquered, he will be able to find clues to the next direction.
He didn't need to deliberately forge this clue. There must be letters and personnel exchanges between the various branches of the Chunyang Sect. His brothers would definitely be able to find a lot of different clues as long as they searched patiently.
Which clue to use depends on Han Qing's real needs. He shoots the arrow first, then draws the target, and of course he hits the mark with perfect accuracy!
In Ding Wei's opinion, Han Qing's real need is to get closer to Weizhou, Laizhou and Dengzhou step by step. To get closer to the real culprit behind the assassination of Zhang Wengong.
Along the way, the attack on the Chunyang Sect's copycat was just a blind method used by Han Qing in order to paralyze the suspected perpetrators, or to catch the rabbit with ease!
Just like that, he moved closer step by step, taking advantage of the fact that the real murderer was still watching the fun, and caught him off guard!
"Ding Shuzhi, there is no need to be embarrassed. You can lend troops to help Han conquer the branch of Chunyang Cult. Han is already very grateful." While he was hesitating, Han Qing's words rang out again. Every sentence was full of meaning.
The fire in Ding Wei's heart boiled. "As a transport envoy, Shuzhi's duties originally did not include investigating the assassination of Zhang Wengong. It is natural to withdraw the troops after the attack on Haicang Town. And next, Han will not need so many troops.
Han doesn’t believe that any official in the territory of the Song Dynasty would dare to publicly lead troops to intercept and kill Xing Xing who came to investigate the case in order to escape responsibility!"
"That's not necessarily the case!" Ding Wei took a deep breath and forced himself not to act impulsively, "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there have been more than one high-ranking official who died out of ignorance. Zhang Wengong is a lesson learned from the past."
"Zhang Wengong was assassinated at the gate of Qingzhou City. It is impossible for the imperial court to let the economic and strategic pacifier at that time be responsible for the case. And if Han is assassinated, at least the prefects and governors of Deng and Laizhou will be punished!"
Han Qing smiled and shook his head nonchalantly.
"Don't be arrogant just because you're good at it. You know, a tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves!" Ding Wei was so upset by him that he hammered away in a hoarse voice.
After he finished speaking, he realized that what he said was completely unnecessary.
When Han Qing was on the Yongxing Military Road, he was wanted by the government and the underworld, but he refused to back down. How could he hesitate now because his opponent might jump over the wall in a hurry?
But if you don't persuade him, if Han Qing really follows Zhang Wengong's footsteps and returns to Qingzhou with his troops and horses, then he may not be able to clear away the suspicion even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and reminded in a low voice, "Have you asked Wang Jinglue for advice on this matter? Although he is open-minded and doesn't care about false etiquette. But as the execution officer of Jingdong East Road, you also found out that the person on Jingdong East Road
If you are a local official, you have to say hello to him."
"No!" Han Qing responded succinctly without even thinking, "There are many people over there at Jinglue. If you ask him for instructions, you will definitely alert the snake. Moreover, there may be dozens of people involved behind this case, including those above.
Hundreds of lives. If the news leaks out in advance, Han is worried that the real culprit will kill and silence him!"
"You didn't mention a word to Wang Jingluo?" Ding Wei was disappointed, but gritted his teeth again, "This is against the rules. Han Tixing, Ding knows that you are in the holy family at the moment. But there are rules to abide by and formalities to go through.
You have to leave. Otherwise, you and I will lead the troops to catch the real culprit, just, just..."
"Ding Shuzhi decided to go with Han?" Han Qing immediately heard the key content from Ding Wei's words. In an instant, the joy on his face was genuine, "Great, Han knew that Ding
Shu Zhi will not sit back and watch Han go to the tiger's den alone. And Han is actually in need of an elder with enough weight to testify for Han."
"Nonsense, when did I say that I would go with you?" Ding Wei was so angry that his beard was shaking up and down, and his voice was shrill and sharp. "I just remind you, you must behave according to the rules. Otherwise, I would rather do it now
I will never look back and I will never, ever lift a finger to help you again!"
"Thank you Ding Shuzhi!" Han Qing stood up straight first, then bowed his head to Ding Wei and said, "As you always remind me, I will write a letter and report to Wang Jinglue right now. Anyway, we have arrived in Weizhou, so
Even if the news leaks out, it will not delay our work."
"Thank you. You dragged me into the water. Sooner or later, I will settle this debt with you!" Ding Wei said with a straight face, he accepted Han Qing's full gift without politeness, and then scolded him loudly.
."I, I..."
I originally wanted to continue to say a few harsh words to vent my resentment. In the end, it turned into a long sigh, "Oh -! Forget it, I'm afraid I owed you something in my previous life. After this incident, I will hide from you when I see you.
Just keep going. I won't let you find another chance to trick me into jumping into the hole you dug!"
