"Take it!" Ding Zhong walked out of the firewood room, raised his hands behind his back and looked coldly at a lonely figure in the courtyard.

Someone rushed into the courtyard gate, someone climbed over the courtyard wall, and four or five black-clothed people poured into the courtyard, grabbing the overwhelmed figure with all hands and feet.

A man in black handed Ding Zhong a piece of firewood and said, "This is what he threw out of the wall." ”

Ding Zhong glanced at the crack on the firewood, didn't pick it up, and said, "Put it back, let people keep an eye on me, and don't let go of the people who come to pick it up." ”

"Yes!" the man in black put away the firewood, retreated to the wall, and jumped out of the wall.

A servant informed Long Yan, who was entertaining guests in the main hall, "Where is the old butler?" Long Yan's heart tightened.

The servant replied, "The old butler is watching the young lady in the backyard." ”

"Hmm. Long Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Ruan Xingzhu asked, "What's wrong?"

Huang Wan also looked at Long Yan with questioning eyes.

Long Yan said lightly: "It's okay, someone in the family has a problem, Xiao Zhong is dealing with it, in fact, what we just talked about is not confidential, and it is not impossible for others to want to know, there is no need to be sneaky." Let's move on. ”

"Oh, big family, it's a common thing. "Huang Wan is from the capital, and she has never seen or heard of such a thing.

"Senior Sister Huang, it's better for us to tell others less about the rail car in the future. Ruan Xingzhu realized that the new thing such as rail cars should be kept secret.

"The master said that the key to the rail car is the two of you, others can see other things, and others want to steal the school after the railway is rolled out. Long Yan regarded the two as close friends, and she didn't shy away from anything.

"Madame. Ding Zhong stood outside the hall with his hands down.

"Come in and say, there are no outsiders. Long Yan beckoned.

Ding Zhong walked behind Long Yan, leaned down, and whispered: "Mrs. Qiyuru, the miscellaneous servant Xiaowei is a secret spy sent by an unknown organization to find out the news, and he is currently under the control of the Security Bureau, and his subordinates will continue to track down the organization he belongs to." ”

"Didn't hurt anyone, did you?"

"As far as we know, no. ”

"Don't embarrass him too much if he doesn't hurt anyone, the master is fighting outside, there will be less blood in the house, let him go after the investigation." "Long Yan can't bear to hurt Xiaowei's life.

Ding Zhong looked embarrassed and said: "This, the matter of the secret spy found in the house should be reported to the lord and the lady, can you let go of Xiaowei, the subordinates can't be the master." ”

"Then when you report it, you say that I mean, who doesn't agree to come and tell me. "Long Yan is rarely tough.

"Okay, the subordinates will pay attention to proportion. "Ding Zhong is very difficult to do, he has to use extraordinary means to deal with a professional spy like Xiaowei, although he will not ask for his life, but it will definitely not be easy.

After Ruan Xingzhu waited for Ding Zhong to leave, he grabbed Long Yan's arm and said, "Sister is so kind, but people with malicious intentions may not necessarily understand your affection, and those spies will not remember your kindness when they want to harm people." ”

The Ruan family was almost wiped out, and her heart was much harder than Long Yan's.

"I just want my own peace of mind, what those people think is secondary, it is not easy to have children, it takes the effort of a family to raise a person, I respect the hard work of their family, and I have to be forgiving and forgiving. ”

Long Yan held Ruan Xingzhu's hand: "When you have a child in the future, you will be able to understand my feelings." ”

Ruan Xingzhu thought of his parents, sadness came from it, and his eyes were filled with tears, "The most respectable thing in the world is my father and mother, and parents all have good thoughts." ”

"Sister, you have taught me a lot today, thank you!" She realized in her grief, and her mental strength was much more condensed.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I feel it makes sense. Huang Wan wanted to pick her nose, but she raised her hand halfway and forcibly held back.

......

"What? The new city lords of Dingjiang City and Dongxiong City are dead!" Zibi flipped through the daily documents of the Ministry of Officials and saw a piece of news that shocked and angered him.

The official who sent the documents happened to be present, and hurriedly came out to reply: "Yes, Zou Yong, the lord of Dingjiang City, occasionally felt a cold on the way to perform his duties, and died violently the next day after taking the decoction. ”

"What about the city lord of Dongxiong?" Zibi's expression was complicated.

Qi Lian may be in a hurry to take office, and he refused to stop when the road was raining down, but he was buried by the mud and rocks washed down by the heavy rain on the road, and when he came out, he had lost his breath for a long time. "This official is very skilled in business, and he has consulted the relevant files before sending the documents.

"How can this be? Is it artificial?" Zibi stretched out his hand and pushed, and a stack of papers slid to the ground.

The official hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and replied: "Nanjing City has sent people to explore the scene, and no traces of man-made have been found for the time being." ”

"What a coincidence! They are all city lords who went to Nanqiu County to take office. Zibi didn't dare to say it bluntly, the two city lords went to the place controlled by Ding Kui to take office.

"By the way, there's another one!" he immediately paused when he found himself speechless, "Well, has the new city lord of Spring Dew City arrived?"

"Uh, that, him. "The officials are spitting and spitting, and there seems to be something unspeakable.

"What, what can't you say to me!" Zibi narrowed his eyes.

The official stubbornly said: "Ah, don't dare! Ni Guan had already arrived in Nanjing City the day before yesterday, but he had returned to the capital through the portal yesterday. ”

"What is he doing when he doesn't go to office and comes back? Who gave him the guts!" Zibi slapped on the table, shaking the cups and saucers.

"This, isn't he your house?" the official only dared to say halfway.

Zibi suddenly remembered who this Ni Guan was, a relative of whom he secretly raised a certain woman.

No wonder the official was hesitant, Ni Guan came back to change his position.

"Who knows about the deaths of Zou Yong and Qi Lian?" Zibi was trying to calm down.

"Except for the officials of the headquarters, only the officials of Nannuma Prefecture know, uh, it is estimated that the news of Nannuma Prefecture has spread. ”

Obviously, the people in the officialdom didn't think it was an accident, but there was no evidence to prove that Zou Yong and Qi Lian were murdered, and Ni Guan was frightened and ran back to the capital desperately.

"Send someone to inform Ni Guan immediately, I will give him fifteen days, and if he still does not arrive within fifteen days, I will condemn him to the crime of bullying the king!"

Zibi was not carried away by the anger, Ni Guan could just be used as a touchstone to test whether Zou Yong and Qi Lian died by accident.

As for the woman in the private house, he had decided to lock her up.

"Yes, sir!" the official was about to say goodbye.

"Wait, immediately select two people from among the alternate officials to Dingjiang City and Dongxiong City to take office. Zibi made another decision.

"Ahh......h

"Ahh

"Yes! The official fled, walking half a step slowly, for fear that the chief of the Government Council would really send him to Nanqiu County.

"Okay, Ding Kui!" Zibi gritted his teeth, "It's clear that you want to fight the court to the end, hmph, you don't have me in your eyes, is there still a prince regent in your eyes?"

Okay, well, I think you can kill a few court officials, even if you have the means to reach the sky, you can't get out of the relationship if the officials sent by the court die too much!"

......

Liu Yu is reporting to Shaodian Luan.

"What should I do with that children's photo?" Shaodianluan asked Liu Yu about the things he found difficult to do.

Liu Yu pondered the words and said: "If the information of the Security Bureau is reliable, and Tong Zhao is really Senior Brother Zidan, then his subordinates suggest keeping him first." ”

"Isn't the Zi family our family's sworn enemy?, why do you keep Tong Zhao?" Shaodian Luan didn't understand, "He's not the little tail of Giant Sheep City." ”

As the daughter-in-law of the Ding family, she regards the Zi family as a mortal enemy.

"Tong Zhao revealed his identity to Shu Wu in private, at this time, if something goes wrong, it will be suspected of Shu Wu's head, the Zi family can easily move the position of Shu Wu's county guard, and send another county guard to do us want to deal with it?

Anyway, we already know his origins, and he is within our control, as long as we keep a close watch, we are not afraid of him playing tricks, and by the way, we can bring out the hidden opponents of us. Liu Yu patiently explained.

"Well, then you have to keep an eye on him. How to deal with the Li family in Dingjiang City?"

"The Li family is inflexible, conservative in concept, incompatible with the constantly innovating Ding family, and it is also a scourge to keep it, it is better to uproot the Li family and use it as a means to intimidate other restless families, so that people outside can see the thunderous means of the Ding family. ”

Liu Yu came to ask Shaodianluan's opinion, and there were some things that he couldn't decide, such as attacking the Li family, and he had to get the princess's approval.

"Who will do it?" Shaodianluan agreed to eradicate the Li family.

"Fei Ze is coming back soon, let him arrange it most safely. Liu Yu didn't take everything into account.

"Hehe, Mr. Fei can make Dingjiang, Dongxiong and Chunlu no city lords take office on the road, such a means is amazing! ”

Shaodian Luan is in charge of the Ding family, and the concept of the children of the royal family is gradually weakening, and the people of the court can be sacrificed in order to protect the interests of the Ding family.

"The last is the problem of secret spies infiltrating into the house, in recent years, the family has recruited a lot of newcomers, I think Xiaowei is not an exception, but the family always needs someone to do things, always secretly investigating and occupying too much security bureau manpower. ”

The affairs of the family are the most important for her to solve, but as the territory of the Ding family grows, more and more people need to use it in the family, which provides the best opportunity for outsiders to plant secret spies.

"Hey!" Liu Yu was also helpless, "This is not a problem for the big family, but the Ding family and you just can't find a reliable collateral clansman." ”

It's embarrassing.

Needless to say, the Ding family naturally has only Ding Kui and Jingjing, strictly speaking, Jingjing is still a member of the Jiang family, and she can't find any other clansmen at all.

Shaodian Luan was born in a prominent background, and she was the eldest princess of the dignified Shaodian Kingdom, but the problem was her background, how could the clansmen of the royal family be merged into the family of the concubine! Even if she was a member of her mother's concubine's clan, the Shantai family was also a noble family, and no one would want to be a member of the Ding family.

"What about the Jiang family and the Long family?" Shaodian Luan had a hint of illusion.

"No way! They can only solve the problem of high-ranking domestic servants, such as housekeepers and the like, and no one wants to do the work of chopping wood and lighting fires. Liu Yu immediately denied it.

"Can you only wait for Xianggong's subordinates?" Shaodian Luan smiled bitterly.
