Volume 2, Chapter 323: The Death of the Dog
Dongming Ziyu caught up with the gambler who climbed over the wall and killed him, as well as the waiter in the gambling shop. If they told the story about plotting against the Liu family, even if it didn't happen, it would ruin the Liu family's reputation.
, this kind of gossip is enough to ruin a woman's reputation.
The gambler and the waiter in the gambling house are both small people. If he disappears, he will not make any waves. He has to be more roundabout in dealing with the dog. He is an official in the army and a lackey of King Rui. If King Rui finds out, it will be very troublesome.
.
Shangguan Ruoli also thought of this and said, "Be clean and don't make people think of us."
For people in power, some things do not require evidence. As long as they think so, they will take action against you.
Dongming Ziyu said: "Don't worry, I'm measured."
He had been asking the beggars he was training to keep an eye on Gouzi's whereabouts. Knowing that he had stolen another widow and often climbed the wall at night, he gave him some help.
The night is dark and the cold wind is howling.
"Ah!" A woman screamed from a small courtyard, and then it became silent.
Early the next morning, Gouzi did not go to work at the patrol camp in the capital.
The yamen is very strict about attendance. If you are late three times or absent from work once in a month, your entire salary will be deducted and you will be slapped with a blackboard.
When Gouzi didn't come for a day, his men were a little puzzled. Then the next day when Gouzi didn't come, they felt something was wrong. The people in their patrol camp had free time. They just had to come in the morning to sign in and show up.
I just go out on patrol. If I have any personal matters, I can just do it while on patrol. There is really no need to ask for leave or be absent from work.
So, when the two men were on patrol, they went to Gouzi's house. As a result, the two servants at home said that Gouzi had gone out at the second watch the day before yesterday. He didn't say where he was going or when he would be back.
"Hey, is this kid sent on a secret mission from above?"
"What could he do? Maybe he climbed the Widow's Wall."
"My legs are fine, are you looking for a beating again?"
"It's cool to die under the peonies and be a ghost!"
The two patrolled with Gouzi and found out who he had hooked up. They were quite loyal and went to the widow's house to inquire.
The little widow denied it, "My lord, he didn't come to my place. Don't ruin my innocence, or I'll die in front of you!"
The two were surprised and went to another house, but they didn't see the dog either.
The two went to see Shangguan and asked Gouzi if he had gone on a secret mission.
The superior officer didn't know either, and felt that there was something wrong with this matter. He first interrogated the servants of Gouzi's family and found out that he often spent the night outside. Then he brought the two widows over and threatened and frightened them for a while. The little widow was so frightened that she peed.
"Say! Otherwise I'll let you ride on a wooden donkey!"
The little widow cried: "I, I don't know what's going on, he, he was doing it, and he came on top of me. I checked my breath and found that he was out of breath!"
"What about people?"
The little widow collapsed on the ground, trembling and said: "I'm afraid that things will get serious, I will lose my reputation, and I will be involved in a lawsuit for my life. I thought that he climbed over the wall in the middle of the night and no one saw him. So, I just killed him.
Buried under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree at home."
This was already a life-and-death lawsuit. Reports were reported to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen. Based on the young widow’s confession, the Yamen dug up Gouzi’s body under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree at her house. An autopsy was performed on the widow, and it was found that she died of a sudden wind.
This kind of incident involving love and human life spreads the fastest, and everyone in the capital knows about it.
Shangguan Ruoli only smiled faintly after hearing this, which meant that Dongming Ziyu had avenged Dong Youfu.
Men also gossip, and people in the Imperial Academy also know about it.
When Dongming Ziyu resigned, he met Prince Rui at the door.
King Rui looked at him sideways and asked, "Did you know that Zhou Hongfei from the capital patrol camp died?"
Dongming Ziyu looked confused and asked: "Who is Zhou Hongfei?"
King Rui laughed and said, "Your fellow villager is a bitch."
Dongming Ziyu was surprised, "Xiaoguan heard that a captain in the patrol camp in the capital died. Could it be a dog?"
