Chapter 692
After learning of Shangguan Qiuyu's identity, Ding Feng knelt down as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

These days the Ding family has had a really hard time, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as dire straits.

Leaving aside the order of Yucheng, don't think that the order of Yucheng is just a small county magistrate.

But because Yucheng was the capital of the Dayu Dynasty, the power of the Yucheng decree was very great.

His official rank alone can be comparable to that of other prefectures. In addition to military power, Yucheng Order has the authority to govern all matters inside and outside Yucheng.

It can be seen from this that the person who can sit in the position of Yu Chengling has a lot of energy behind him.

Now that the head of the Ding family has been imprisoned by the order of Yucheng, it is not an easy matter to get out alive.

Now that the Ding family tree has fallen and the monkeys are scattered, even some minor officials in Yucheng don't take a straight look at him, the young master of the Ding family.

Now that a big Buddha like Shangguan Qiuyu is in front of him, this is for Ding Feng and the Ding family who are desperate.

It may be the last and only chance. If you miss the Ding family, you may not be far from the real family ruin.

Seeing the other party begging on his knees, Shangguan Qiuyu didn't say much, because human nature is like this.

If it were him who faced such a situation, he would probably be even more miserable.

Regardless of whether the other party is for himself or for his family, Shangguan Qiuyu does not think it is a shameful thing for a man to bend his knees in front of life and death.

He poured a glass of wine casually, handed it over, and said in a calm tone:

"Tell me, what's going on?"

After receiving the drink from Shangguan Qiuyu, Ding Feng thanked him again and again, without any hesitation, he drank it all in one gulp.

"Cough cough" drank too fast, and choked up a blush, which affected the injuries on his body, and he couldn't help grinning in pain.

Dan Ding Feng did not dare to delay for a moment, and began to describe the current situation facing the Ding family.

Under such circumstances, Ding Feng did not dare to hide anything from Shangguan Qiuyu.

Even the Dongfang family standing behind the Cheng family, Ding Feng said everything.

Today, the biggest predicament facing the Ding family is that the person in power of the Ding family has nothing to do with it. Ding Feng's father was imprisoned in the Yucheng prison by the order of Yucheng, and his life and death are unknown.

At the same time, the Cheng family relied on the power of the Dongfang family to suppress and annex the Ding family's overseas properties.

Facing the suppression and annexation of the Cheng family, it's not that the Ding family is powerless to resist, it's just that they dare not.

Facing the Cheng family, if there is no support from the Dongfang family.

The Ding family could completely spit out everything the Cheng family had swallowed.

It's just that the Ding family didn't dare, and Ding Feng didn't dare.

Ding Feng's father was directly framed and imprisoned by Yu Chengling because he didn't want to sit still.

Youdao is an official word, and the other party can say whatever they want.

Therefore, even though the Ding family despises the Cheng family, they still dare not speak out.

Because now Ding Feng is the only heir of the Ding family, if he also falls into it, then the Ding family will really be over.

"I also hope that the major general will save my life. If the major general saves my father, the Ding family will be willing to repay the major general as a cow or a horse."

Seeing Shangguan Qiuyu who was expressionless in front of him and didn't know what he was thinking, Ding Feng couldn't guarantee whether the other party would agree to him.

I had no choice but to prostrate on the ground, not daring to say any more words.

Facing Ding Feng who was kneeling on the ground and constantly begging himself, Shangguan Qiuyu didn't feel the slightest bit of compassion for what happened to the Ding family.

Because in his opinion, the reason why the Ding family suffered today's misfortune was entirely caused by the Ding family.

There is a saying that people are not enough to swallow elephants. The Ding family let go of their original good life, but they went beyond their means to find trouble with the Dongfang family, one of the four major business families.

This is simply asking for death, and there is no one else to blame.

As a business family, the Dongfang family was one of the important heroes at the beginning of the Dayu Dynasty.

Its importance to the Dayu Dynasty is no less than that of the eight hereditary Duke families today.

For the four major business families, their greatest strength lies not in the amount of money, but in the connections they have accumulated over the millennia.

The four major business families rely on their strong financial and material resources, and the connections they have accumulated over the millennium, how can a business family like the Ding family with nothing but money be able to match them.

Just saying that the Dongfang family supplied almost [-]% of Dayu's army's food and grass channels, this is not comparable to any business family of Dayu.

Regardless of financial and material resources, or even official forces, the Ding family is completely beaten.

He really didn't know what gave his father such confidence that the Ding family went beyond their capabilities to provoke the dragon of the Dongfang family.

After hearing Ding Feng's words, even Tie Si beside Shangguan Qiuyu couldn't help frowning.

Seeing that his major general remained silent, Tie Si couldn't help reminding:

"Lieutenant General, this time the general is going out, the Dongfang family will provide a supply of food and grass."

Tie Si's words were a disguised reminder to Shangguan Qiuyu not to meddle in the other party's business, so as not to cause trouble to Shangguan Qiuyu's cheap grandfather.

The Shangguan family has a fief, so naturally there is no need to buy food and grass for private soldiers, and they are completely self-sufficient.

However, it is different when the imperial court responds to the army. Basically, the Dongfang family arranges the imperial court's response to the army.

Now Shangguan Qiuyu's cheap grandfather is about to lead the army out.

Moreover, he led one of the four most elite armies of Dayu, with a total of 200 million soldiers, and the food and supplies it needed were incalculable.

Although Duke Zhen is fighting for his country, if he hates the Dongfang family.

When the time comes, my cheap grandpa will have a large army to supply food and grass, and it will inevitably depend on the face of the Dongfang family.

Although Shangguan Qiuyu believed that the Dongfang family did not dare to risk the disgrace of the world and cut off the food and grass of their own cheap grandfather.

However, Shangguan Qiuyu was only thinking about letting his cheap grandfather bring the army he brought out to the southern border to increase his own strength.

In this way, on the way back, if the Dongfang family does not cooperate, there will be no food supply at that time.

No matter how powerful my cheap grandfather is, he can't bring a group of soldiers with an empty stomach back to southern border.

In this way, even if Shangguan Qiuyu wanted to help the Ding family, he couldn't help hesitating at this moment.

The army's expedition this time is related to the future of the Shangguan family, and there is no room for him to make the slightest mistake.

Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to make friends with the Dongfang family, so as to gain the support of the Dongfang family in food.

Southern Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated. If the Shangguan family wants to separate and strengthen themselves in southern Xinjiang, they must introduce refugees from the Central Plains to enrich southern Xinjiang.

Besides the large tracts of land in southern Xinjiang, the most important thing that attracts the refugees is food.

If there is no food and only land, such a group of refugees will starve to death when they arrive in southern Xinjiang.

Therefore, in addition to the many refugees from the Central Plains, the Shangguan family also needs a lot of food. After all, people depend on food.

Therefore, Shangguan Qiuyu had already focused his attention on the Dongfang family, which was a large grain household, thinking about how to get a large amount of grain from the Dongfang family.

Therefore, for Shangguan Qiuyu, who puts interests first, how could he go against the Dongfang family for the sake of the Ding family.
