When the sky was dim, the boy named "Ding Ba" walked into the front yard and saw the housekeeper Ding Dagou standing there with his hands behind his back.
"Butler Ding, are you looking for a villain?"
Ding Dagou nodded and said, "Let me talk to the guards about what you told me yesterday."
"Okay, I was robbed..."
"Shut up, I didn't ask you to make noise with me again."
"yes."
Ding Ba followed Ding Dagou into the front yard and saw a group of guards gathering there to discuss something.
Among them, Feng Zhong has the loudest voice.
"What did the Yameni mean last night?"
Wang Geng said: "You still don't understand? The matter has been made clear. Among the people who went north, the most important one was called 'Li Xia'. He was ruthless and ruthless. He killed Uncle Xie Fang's people and made the matter bigger. In short, he has the information.
Go up, the Yameni wants us to find Li Xia."
"No, how can the office know this?"
"I have already said that Li Xia has done great things in Luzhou. Comparing the two sides, how could the yamen not know it? Is the yamen like you?"
Feng Zhong asked again: "Now that the whole city is searching for Li Xia, how can we find him?"
"Just look for it, there's a lot of nonsense."
Feng Zhongdao: "Damn, I always thought it was Nie Zhongyou I wanted to catch, staring at those ugly men who look like mantises. No wonder I sold tea in Qinghefang for many days and made enough money to go to Huanxi Building to sleep with women.
, not even a hair can be seen!”
"Idiot, if I ask you to sell tea again, it will be enough to invite all the brothers."
Feng Zhong laughed loudly, but turned to look at Wang Geng and said: "I'm stupid, but you still say that Lao Wang is smart. He and Li Xia talked a lot face to face, and they were stunned to let people enter Cheng Yuanfeng's house in a swagger.
"
Wang Geng said: "It may not be Li Xia that I saw that night."
"Still saying no? Everyone in the office said yes."
Wang Geng said in a muffled voice: "I thought it was someone from the Xie Mansion or the Jia Mansion who wanted to share information with me. Who would have thought...he is really a bitch. But I didn't reveal any useful information.
I also got a clue. Even the yamen didn’t blame me, but it’s not the end of the world for you.”
"You are just stupid, what else are you talking about..."
Ding Dagou has brought Ding Ba over.
Feng Zhong turned around to look, spat the tea leaves he was chewing, and said to Ding Ba: "Hey, I heard that your kid was robbed? That person also interrogated you about matters in the courtyard?"
Ding Ba said respectfully: "Yes, the villain had two moves with him at that time..."
Wang Geng picked up Ding Ba's collar and said fiercely: "Do you want me to torture you before you tell the truth?"
"I said, I said...Actually, I was held down right away..."
"Isn't that man very young? Very handsome?"
"She is very young, but with her face covered, I couldn't see clearly..."
"Your mother!"
At this time, another servant came running and said: "Yamen calls you to the lobby..."
Everyone arrived at the lobby, and after a while, they saw Ding Shouweng from the Yamen coming out and sitting on the main seat.
Ding Shouweng was thirty-six years old, and his complexion was slightly blue, but it was not the blue color of his father Ding Daquan, but rather sickly and tired.
The frames under his eyes were dark and the bags under his eyes were deep, and he looked worried. His steps were a little sloppy when he walked, his neck was hunched, and he raised his eyes slightly when he looked at people, with a somewhat vicious look.
As soon as Ding Shouweng sat down, the hall was as silent as cicadas.
He ordered a group of guards and servants to form a posture, and arranged a group of people to guard in front of him, and then cleared his throat.
"Bring people in."
Soon, a young man walked into the lobby led by four big men.
Wang Geng raised his eyes and exclaimed in surprise.
"Little Hozen!"
This young man is clearly the liar who said he wanted to "reveal information to each other" that night.
"You...you are Li Xia?! That's him in the yamen!"
With two shouts, Wang Geng rushed to Li Xia.
There was a loud "pop" sound, and Li Xia fell onto Wang Geng's face.
Wang Geng was furious and punched Li Xia.
Li Xia didn't panic, dodged it, and slapped Wang Geng on the face with his backhand.
"Snapped."
"What are you doing?!"
The guards were furious and rushed forward to hold Li Xia down.
Ding Shouweng looked at Li Xia with a hesitant look on his face and said, "Li Xia, what do you mean?"
Li Xia said: "These two slaps should be used as a lesson for you to teach these subordinates who are not doing their job well."
Ding Shouweng's face became increasingly gloomy.
These days, he was doing things under his father's orders, and the progress was slow. Last night, he was still ordering his men to search. Unexpectedly, he heard a report from his disciples as soon as he got up today.
It was said that Li Xia was asking for a meeting and that he would give him information to help him deal with Uncle Xie Fang.
He then arranged for Li Xia to come in, but he didn't expect that he would be so aggressive as soon as he entered the hall.
At this time, Ding Shouweng originally wanted to capture Li Xia, but he hesitated after thinking about it.
He pondered for a moment, and suddenly said coldly to his subordinates: "Have any of you seen him?"
Wang Geng's face was red with pain, and he said aggrievedly: "I've seen this before."
"Ya Nei." Feng Zhong said: "I have seen him too. I was selling tea in Qinghefang. I met him once and asked me to buy tea."
"The villain has seen it too." Ding Ba said: "The villain went out the night before and was robbed of money by him. There was a whole series... Although he had his face covered, the villain could recognize it."
"Come here."
"yes."
Wang Geng, Feng Zhong, and Ding Ba bowed their heads and stepped forward.
Ding Shouweng suddenly stretched out his hand and gave each of the three people a big ear scraper with three "pop, pop, pop" sounds.
These three slaps were obviously filled with real fire, and were much heavier than Li Xia's two slaps.
Then, Ding Shouweng kicked Ding Ba in the stomach again, knocking him to the ground.
Ding Ba was in pain, clutching his stomach and screaming. Wang Geng and Feng Zhong also knelt down one after another.
Ding Shouweng then looked at Li Xia, with a vain smile on his face, and said: "A bunch of idiots who can't do anything will make you laugh."
Li Xia nodded.
Just now Wang Geng pounced on him, but Li Xia didn't want to be knocked down by him, so he gave him two backhand slaps to calm down the situation. Unexpectedly, Ding Shouweng also hit his subordinates, which raised the suppressed momentum again.
Ding Shouweng showed both ferocity and magnanimity, and said: "You said you would give me the information and help me bring down Uncle Xie Fang?"
Li Xia said: "Lin Zi and Liu Jinsuo are in your hands?"
"Not bad." Ding Shouweng said.
"Alive?"
Ding Shouweng said: "As long as you are sensible, they can survive."
Li Xia glanced at Ding Shouweng attentively.
With just one glance, he could see many things.
When Ding Shooweng got married, the bride was taken as a concubine by his father. This incident made him a laughing stock in the world and naturally had a lot of influence on him.
Li Xia could see in his black eyes and blue complexion how vindictive and indulgent he had been in these years, and how harsh and cruel he was in treating others.
On the other hand, Li Xia paid attention to Ding Shouweng's reaction after he slapped Wang Geng twice, knowing that Ding Shouweng had a strong presence and could calm down.
Perhaps this man is not bad in talent and is not an ordinary dandy. Dante Daquan took his daughter-in-law as his concubine, which probably destroyed most of his son...
"I want to see Ding Daquan."
Ding Shouweng was stunned and asked, "What did you say?"
Li Xia said: "I have met Cheng Yuanfeng and Jia Sidao, and it's time to chat with Ding Daquan."
"How dare you call my father by his first name...How dare you..."
"Don't you dare?" Li Xia said, "You might as well try it? Try calling your father by his first name."
Ding Shouweng was stunned again.
He considers himself a smart man, but he never expected that when he saw Li Xia today, he would be choked twice in just a few words.
He immediately flew into a rage.
"You are too presumptuous! Who do you look down on?! How dare you talk to me..."
Li Xia added: "Before I came, I had a long talk with Jia Sidao in his house for more than an hour. Now I want to see Ding Daquan. You can kill me and detain me. Why not give it a try?"
"What qualifications do you have to talk to me like this?!"
"I only discuss matters with the current prime minister."
Ding Shouweng raised his hand and pointed, and cursed: "You are a pig and a dog raised by my maid! Did you know that the whole city is full of thanks..."
When he said the word "thank you", he suddenly stopped, his eyes uncertain.
Li Xia said: "Uncle Xie Fang's people are all over the city searching for me because I killed Zhong Xiqing. I wonder how he compares to these people under you?"
"You are presumptuous! You..."
"You can just kill me without asking your father."
Ding Shouweng closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.
When he opened his eyes again, he had calmed down, just like when his bride had become the little girl in the family.
That's what happens to people who are fierce in appearance and inwardly inwardly.
"My father has gone to court." Ding Shouweng said lightly, looking very indifferent, as if he was a different person.
"It doesn't matter." Li Xia said, "Arrange a wing room for me to rest..."
