Facts have proved that Duhe's strategy is successful.
In less than a day, everyone in Chang'an City knew that Du He had a distant relative, Xiu'er. Xiu'er's husband was Yuchi Baolin, the son of Wu Guogong. Yuchi Baolin killed Dou Gongde because Dou Gongde kidnapped Xiuer.
Walk……
The hatred of killing one's father and taking away one's wife has been the most intolerable thing for people since ancient times.
Many people immediately applauded Yuchi Baolin.
On this day's Datang Newspaper, the front page headline was the story of Yuan Xiu, written by an unknown author.
In fact, this story was written by Du He himself.
The entire article did not mention Yuchi Baolin at all. It was all about how miserable Yuan Xiu was when he lost his mother in childhood. Later, he lived with his father. Little did he know that his father also died a few years ago, and his life was miserable. Fortunately,
After marrying a good husband, she thought she could live a happy life from now on, but unexpectedly, Dou Gongde fell in love with her and forcibly abducted her...
This story is full of loopholes, but the common people who can't stand gossip like it, especially the vernacular, everyone can understand it when read.
Most of the people were kind-hearted, and they couldn't bear to see such miserable stories. For a time, the entire city of Chang'an cursed Dou Gongde, and by the way, the Dou family in Tongzhou also cursed him.
On the same day, Dali Temple and the Criminal Bureau sent people to Dream Group to take Yuan Xiu back for interrogation.
It's a pity that all these people were blocked by Du He, and they didn't even see Yuan Xiu's face.
As a last resort, Li Daozong, the Minister of Punishment, and Wei Ting, the Minister of Dali Temple, came to the Dream Group in person.
The two of them came to Banshan College in person and met Du He.
Wei Ting said earnestly: "Du He, Yuchi Baolin is still imprisoned in the Dali Temple Prison. Duke Wu Guo loves his son so much that his head turns gray with worry. If he wants to release Yuchi Baolin as soon as possible, Yuan Xiu needs to come to the court to testify.
Okay, this matter is also His Majesty’s wish.”
Li Daozong said: "Boy from the Du family, we are old friends. If you can't trust Mr. Wei, why don't you trust me? I promise that I will never let that woman get hurt in the slightest."
Hearing this, Du He shook his head and said: "Two adults, you should keep things simple. Now, because of Yuan Xiu's appearance, the situation in Chang'an City has changed. But don't forget that the murder happened.
In Tongzhou... This must be His Majesty's intention. Now even if you take Yuan Xiu for interrogation, what will happen? Can you silence the mouths of tens of thousands of people in Tongzhou?"
"this……"
"cannot!"
Wei Ting and Li Daozong both shook their heads.
Du He said with a smile: "You two, I'm sorry, Yuan Xiu is still in my hands and is of great use, so I can't let you take him away for the time being. Now Yuchi Baolin is imprisoned in the Dali Temple Prison. I can't eat or sleep well.
My cousin is very worried, so she decided to go to Huguo Temple early tomorrow morning to pray for Brother Yuchi."
Li Daozong and Wei Ting had no choice but to leave.
After returning to the palace, the two hurriedly reported to Li Er.
The two of them thought that Li Er would be furious.
Unexpectedly, Li Er was surprisingly calm after hearing this, "Humph, this kid Du He is good at making opinions, that's all, let him go."
"Ah..." Li Daozong was stunned, "Your Majesty, but Yuan Xiunai is the key witness."
"Du He is right. The most important thing right now is to stop the people of the same state from talking. I want to do this, but you can't do it... But Du He can do it. Leave this matter to him.
Come on." Li Er waved his hands and said.
Li Er felt a little angry.
In his heart, Li Er had already decided to take action against the Dou family regardless of his reputation.
But now he seems to understand Du He's plan.
In this case, Li Er was ready to give Du He a chance.
He also didn't want to be blamed for killing innocent people anymore.
Li Daozong and Wei Ting looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed.
It would be strange if Du He could do something that even the civil and military ministers of the DPRK could not do anything about.
…
"Miss Xiu'er is going to Huguo Temple to pray for Mr. Yuchi!"
"Good girl, good girl!"
"If you have this girl in your life, what more can you ask for?"
You can hear such discussions at any time in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
Due to Du He's intentional actions, in less than half a day, more than half of the people in Chang'an City knew that Yuan Xiu was going to Huguo Temple tomorrow morning.
Many people were idle and even said they would go to Huguo Temple tomorrow to see the excitement.
…
Dou Mansion.
Swish swish swish.
There were a total of twelve new newspapers of the Tang Dynasty, all of which were torn to pieces by the gloomy-faced official Dou Xianren.
"How unreasonable, really unreasonable. This article is clearly written by Du He. Hum, I know all the literati in Chang'an City, and I have never heard of anyone named Anonymous." Dou Xianren roared angrily.
The man in black next to him said: "Master, the biggest trouble now is that Yuan Xiu. The head of the family has sent a letter. What Yuan Xiu said is true... What if His Majesty personally intervenes in this matter and listens to what Yuan Xiu said?
, then the Fifth Master will probably die in vain, we can’t let Yuchi Baolin pay for it with his life.”
Dou Xianren nodded: "What you said makes sense. Yuan Xiu must not be taken away by Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment. Huh, I was worried about this at first. I didn't expect that Du He, an arrogant man, would let Yuan Xiu go to protect the country.
Praying in the temple is simply a good opportunity created by God. Tomorrow is the day of Yuan Xiu's death... As long as Yuan Xiu dies and there is no evidence of his death, who can say anything. I have prepared a team of people and will rush to protect him tomorrow.
There is an ambush in Guosi. As soon as Yuan Xiu appears, he will be killed on the spot."
The man in black was shocked: "Master, I'm afraid this is Du He's trap. Do you still remember the lotus planting incident? Du He deliberately went to Huguo Temple to lecture, attracting the Tubo people who stayed in Chang'an City. These people
They all went to Huguo Temple and were finally killed by Du He, and they were buried in the pond of Huguo Temple to be used as fertilizer."
"A trap? It depends on whether Du He has the strength..."
Snap.
Dou Xianren clapped his hands.
A monk wearing monk's robes walked in at the door.
This guy is about forty years old, has a thin build, and his eyes are rolling back and forth. At first glance, he is not a good person.
Dou Xianren introduced: "This is Master Baotian, the leader of the four great masters of Huguo Temple. Master Baotian and I have been close friends for many years, and he can also be regarded as a member of our Dou family. He was the one who just sent the message that Du
He laid an ambush at Huguo Temple."
The lord is the person next to the temple owner or abbot in a temple. There are four lords in Huguo Temple, and Baotian is the head of the four lords, with great power.
Master Baotian immediately stepped forward: "Amitabha, there is a young monk here to ensure that Master Dou will succeed tomorrow."
…
Time comes on the second day.
Early in the morning, Du He ordered people to prepare carriages, horses, incense, wax, paper candles, etc. There were five carriages in total, and he personally took Yuan Xiu to Huguo Temple.
When he arrived at Huguo Temple, Du He was shocked.
I saw a sea of people at the entrance of Huguo Temple, which was more lively than going to the market.
On this cold day, the common people gathered together, talking and laughing, and did not feel cold at all.
Seeing the carriage of the Dream Group, everyone hurriedly made way for them.
"Miss Yuan, we support you!"
"good!"
"We are here to pray for you!"
"Well done!"
The simple and kind-hearted people shouted one after another.
In the carriage, Yuan Xiu was so excited that she shed tears.
Zhang Jian got on Du He's carriage and whispered: "Master, we have found out that at three o'clock last night, the gate of Dou Mansion opened, and a group of people left Dou Mansion, and the target was Huguo Temple."
Du He smiled slightly: "Little fish, take the bait!"
Zhang Jian said with some worry: "Master, do you want to send more people? I'm afraid..."
"There is nothing to be afraid of. It's just Dou Xianren. Even the Zhou Dou family, I don't take him seriously, let alone Dou Xianren... Everything is going according to plan. Don't forget, this Huguo Temple is our territory."
Du He said confidently.
Zhang Jian nodded and got off the carriage.
When the carriage arrived at the foot of the steps, Du He took Yuan Xiu and seven or eight servants, carrying items for prayer, a total of twelve large boxes, up the steps to the mountain gate.
In front of the mountain gate, Tan Zong, the boss of the Huguo Temple, had already come to greet him with a group of monks, whose standards were much higher than those of the princes and nobles.
Who made Du He the honorary class leader of Huguo Temple, and he has a relatively big background!
