Okay, okay, I'm tired, let's retreat! "
Seeing the dispute between the ministers in the palace, Shang Rui didn't have the patience to drag his concubine away.
After the meeting, everyone began to walk out. Many people were still pointing fingers and scolding Ding Rong, but the latter didn't care. He walked leisurely with his big belly, hands behind his back, and his head slightly raised. With.
Ding Rong was about forty years old. He was slightly fat and had some belly, but he was not fat-headed and big-eared. Under the official uniform at that time, he wore an imposing belt, which made him look very official.
He was cunning and scheming, and his cryptic remarks in the court were naturally listened to by those who were interested.
After everyone had almost dispersed, a minister came over and pulled Ding Rong to a secluded area.
"Master Wang, what are you doing?"
Being pulled by the sleeves of his official uniform, Ding Rong couldn't help but frown, and at the same time he shook his sleeves.
"Haha, don't be surprised, Mr. Ding. There were so many people just now and it was really not appropriate to discuss important matters."
The visitor said mysteriously that it was Wang Ji, Taichang Qing of the Imperial Court.
When Ding Rong heard this, his heart moved, and then he asked in a solemn voice: "What do you mean, Mr. Wang?"
Wang Jidao said: "I just came up to you. I heard the meaning of Lord Ding's words. Could it be that on the surface it is to please the King of Qin, but in fact it has other purposes?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Ding Rong replied, rolling his eyes at the same time.
"Haha." Wang Ji smiled again and lowered his voice: "If that's the case, I wonder what Master Ding has planned."
"You worry too much." Ding Rong said deliberately.
When Wang Ji heard this, he realized that he guessed correctly and couldn't help but said again: "Master Ding, don't you believe me?"
"What...what do you want to say?" Ding Rong seemed very careful and looked around.
Seeing this, Wang Ji immediately said: "I understand that in some major matters, if you are not careful, you will lose your head. As for you, Lord Ding, as the ninth minister, you will naturally not really follow others' influence, and you will definitely think about the interests of the empire and the country. "
After hearing what he said, Ding Rong's eyes narrowed slightly. In fact, he didn't have any intention in this regard. The reason why the court was deliberately vague before was just to catch something, but Wang Ji actually came forward.
Judging from the meaning of Wang Ji's words, I am afraid that he is going to be detrimental to the King of Qin, and he has some kind of plan. This is a great achievement!
Thinking of this, Ding Rong smiled secretly, but said with a faint expression on his face: "Since Mr. Wang has said so, you and I should be like-minded people and share the worries of His Majesty together."
Next, he wanted to get something out of Wang Ji, but the latter seemed to be very careful and did not talk more about it.
Ding Rong was helpless, but after they separated, he immediately found Prince Qin's Mansion.
In front of the palace gate, there are guards from the Qin army guarding it.
Seeing Ding Rong, the two guards immediately intercepted him with their swords: "Stop!"
The colors of the official uniforms of imperial officials are different from those of Qin officials. In the eyes of the Qin army, they are outsiders!
When Ding Rong saw this, he forced a smile, raised his hands and said, "I am Si Ma Ming Rong. I actually work for the King of Qin. I am responsible for monitoring the ministers of the imperial court. I have something important to report, so I hope you will make an announcement."
"Are you working for my king?" One of the guards asked with a frown.
"Yes." Ding Rong returned.
"How can I trust you?"
"You only need to report to His Highness the King of Qin and you will find out for yourself. Besides, you can't afford to delay important events." Ding Rong pretended to be mysterious and confident.
"This..." The guard heard this and saw that he was so sure and worried that something serious was going on. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to say: "Then, you wait here first, I will go and report to the top."
"Good work."
Not long after, Xiao Yuan's order came and Ding Rong was brought into the palace.
In the study, he displayed his flattery and flattery to the fullest.
"I see your highness, little man——"
Ding Rong knelt down and shouted, Xiao Yuan glanced at him, "Get up."
With that said, he put down the bamboo slip again and said, "Master Ding said that he has something to ask to see the king?"
"Yes, Your Highness." Ding Rong quickly returned: "After His Highness left today, the villain used only a small trick in the court meeting hall to attract some traitors with evil intentions."
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan's expression became serious when he heard this.
Ding Rong continued: "The Taichang Qing Wang Ji has the intention to assassinate His Highness. However, the specific plan and number of people are not yet known. However, Your Highness can rest assured that when the villain thinks of some ways, he will be able to extract the information here."
"Is this serious?" Xiao Yuan asked in a condensed voice.
"It's absolutely true." Ding Rong said seriously.
"Well..." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment, then his eyes turned cold, and he said coldly: "No need to waste time, just arrest Wang Ji directly. Master Ding, you did a good job this time. I will hand over the interrogation matter." I'll give it to you, if I can find out my accomplices, I'll count on you."
"Ah?" Ding Rong was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly knelt down and said excitedly: "Thank you for your trust, your Majesty, thank you for your trust, I will definitely go to pieces to share your worries for you!"
Xiao Yuan's purpose is very simple, that is, to use Ding Rong to accuse these imperial ministers one by one.
Ding Rong, on the other hand, is a complete villain. In order to please Xiao Yuan, if he can have a place, he must involve more ministers, the happier he will be! Because this is all credit!
Later, Xiao Yuan called Liang Yuan over again and ordered the Duweiying to assist Ding Rong in thoroughly investigating the imperial ministers.
This time, Ding Rong couldn't be more excited.
That night, without saying a word, he asked the Duwei camp to arrest Wang Ji and put him in a dungeon.
The dungeon was dark and damp, and the many torture racks were stained with blood.
Wang Ji's hair was disheveled and he was being hung there in a large font. There were many whip marks on his body, and he had obviously been tortured.
"Tell me! What is your plan! How are you going to assassinate the king! Who are your accomplices!"
A jailer shouted fiercely, grabbed Wang Ji's hair and raised his head.
The latter looked like he was dying and still kept silent.
At this moment, Ding Rong and Liang Yuan walked in.
Seeing Liang Yuan, everyone in the Duwei camp quickly saluted.
Wang Ji's eyes suddenly widened, and he began to struggle violently. He stared at Ding Rong fiercely and shouted sternly:
"Ding Rong! Shameless and dirty man! I treat you as a colleague in vain!"
"You treacherous villain! You must die a good death!!"
"Hmph!" Ding Rong heard the words and sneered. At the same time, he cupped his hands and raised his hand towards the upper right: "His Royal Highness King Qin is a hero of the generation. It is an honor for me to serve him. It's not like a stupid thing like you. You really don’t know how to live or die! Why don’t you tell me the truth quickly and avoid the pain of flesh and blood!”
"Bah!" Wang Ji spit at him fiercely.
Ding Rong's face darkened, and he turned his head and asked the jailer: "Have you been tortured?"
"You used some, and you have a tough mouth." The jailer returned.
Ding Rong sneered again: "Humph, that's because you don't understand him or his weaknesses."
