Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Is There Still King Law?
After a while, Dou Aiwei clenched his fists and made a difficult decision.
"Okay, I promise you."
Dou Xianren was the only official of the Dou family in Chang'an. Although he was only a sixth-rank official, he was still a capital official and was much more prestigious than in Tongzhou.
If Dou Xianren was really convicted and executed, it would be equivalent to breaking one of Dou's arms in Beijing.
Whichever is the lesser of two evils.
Dou Aiwei decided to keep Dou Xianren.
Li Daozong next to him recorded the first item of the negotiation.
Dou Aiwei said eagerly: "I have agreed to your conditions. Lord Marquis, may I ask where my son Xianren is?"
Du He said with a smile: "Master Dou, don't be anxious. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and you can't hold down Mei Jiao Niang in a hurry. There's also a second point. Secondly, the Dou family must tell the world that Dou Gongde and Yuchi Baolin
He was accidentally killed in a fight, not Yuchi Baolin who killed someone intentionally as your Dou family said..."
"Du He, don't bully others too much!" Dou Aiwei couldn't help but jump up.
Du He was not in a hurry and said: "Of course, no matter what, Dou Gongde is dead. I will make the decision for Wu Guogong's Palace and ask Wu Guogong's Palace to compensate the Dou family."
Dou Aiwei thought for a moment, and that was pretty much it.
He asked: "How much compensation?"
Du He raised a finger and said, "The Duke of Wu's government will compensate the Dou family one penny."
A penny?
Why don't you say send the beggar away?
Dou Aiwei couldn't bear it anymore and was about to explode.
Du He patted the table and reminded: "Master Dou, please think clearly. This second condition is actually harmless, but it can alleviate the conflict between you and the Duke of Wu. Otherwise, with my irritable Uncle Yuchi's character,
The worst case scenario is that the fish will die and the net will be broken. Do you believe that he will mobilize the army to go directly to Tongzhou and wipe out all your Dou family?"
Dou Aiwei thought of Yu Chigong's fierce appearance just now... It's not impossible.
He was silent for a long time, and after deliberation with military advisor Yang Wei, he said: "Okay...I agree to you."
Du He waved his hand.
Wei Ting then took out the confession signed by Dou Xianren and said, "Master Dou, this is the confession. As long as you sign and pledge the two conditions that you just promised to the Marquis of Huyi County, this confession will be yours.
Otherwise, we will present it to His Majesty."
Dou Aiwei asked Yang Wei to check the place where the signature was signed, and then he couldn't wait to sign the negotiation contract.
Then, he couldn't wait to ask Yang Wei to take out the fire certificate and burn all the confessions.
Dou Aiwei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Master Marquis, Master Wei, Master Li, the negotiation is over, please release Xianren."
With that said, he turned around and left.
But I heard Du He yell: "Wait a minute!"
"Do you have anything else?" Dou Aiwei's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
Just listen to Du He say: "Master Dou, the matter between the Dou family and Duke Wu's mansion has been resolved, but the matter regarding this young master has not been resolved yet."
"Mr. Dou has no grudge against you." Dou Aiwei was a little unhappy.
Snapped.
Du He slapped the table and said angrily: "Master Dou, you are really forgetful. As you said in the confession just now, Dou Xianren set up an ambush at Huguo Temple to kill Yuan Xiu, and he even plotted to kill me.
You are so courageous. With this alone, I, Du He, can kill all of your Dou family, do you believe it or not?"
Dou Aiwei sneered and said: "Master Hou, don't forget, I have burned that confession. What evidence do you have to prove that Xianren bought the ambush to be detrimental to you? I will sue you for false accusation."
boom.
Du He stood up and punched the table: "Evidence? I never need evidence to do anything. If you don't believe me, you can go to Chang'an and ask."
Dou Aiwei: "..."
Yang Wei hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Master, calm down... Du He behaves strangely and unpredictably. He used to be one of the four pests in Chang'an, but later he became a major pest in Chang'an, and he even became a murderer without blinking an eye.
Mad devil, there is a crying child in the common people's house. As long as the word Du He is said, the child will not dare to cry again. It is better not to anger him, otherwise it will be detrimental to the Dou family."
Dou Aiwei thought to himself, is this fucking human?
He suppressed his anger and said, "Okay, okay, then let's talk."
He sat down again.
Du He got straight to the point and said: "Dou Xianren dared to ambush a large number of soldiers to kill me, which caused serious trauma to my young master's psychology. Therefore, Mr. Dou must compensate me for my mental losses, a total of five hundred thousand yuan."
Five hundred thousand dollars?
Dou Aiwei's eyes widened and he was furious: "Du He, why don't you go and grab it? Five hundred thousand dollars is impossible!"
Du He looked at Dou Aiwei coldly.
He waved his hand.
Zhang Jian was seen walking out with two guards, escorting Dou Xianren.
Dou Xianren was covered in blood, and he was dying, as if he would die at any moment.
Dou Aiwei shouted heartbrokenly: "Xianren..."
He was about to rush over, but was stopped by the guards around Du He.
Du He said: "Dou Xianren set up an ambush at Huguo Temple and wanted to kill me. However, I was the civil and military stars in the sky who merged together and descended to earth. I survived the catastrophe. Tan Zong, the abbot of Huguo Temple, led his people to rescue me. In the chaos,
It is excusable to cut off one hand and one leg of Dou Xianren... Mr. Dou, I will give you half a stick of incense. If you don’t nod after half a stick of incense, then everything I say will be
come true!"
Zhang Jian immediately lit a stick of incense and placed it on the table next to him.
Dou Xianren cried and shouted: "Dad, save me, save me... I don't want to die!"
Dou Aiwei sat on the chair and said nothing.
Military Advisor Yang Wei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth.
Du He put his legs on the chair and held a polished ax in his hand.
At this time, Li Daozong stood up and walked to Dou Aiwei.
Dou Aiwei and Li Daozong had met several times and were relatively familiar with each other.
Dou Aiwei asked hurriedly: "Master Li, do you think Du He really dares to touch Xianren? Does your Majesty not care about it?"
Li Daozong stroked his beard and said earnestly: "Master Dou, you are wrong about this. It's not whether Du He dares or not, but whether he wants to do it... The Dou family is powerful, can it compare to Tubo? Tubo is a country.
The powerful cavalry is even fearful to me in the Tang Dynasty. However, the Tubo prince actually sent people to attack the Dream Group without even hurting Du He's fur. Guess what? Du He directly brought the cannon... in broad daylight.
In front of the Forbidden Army, the Tubo prince was killed... In the end, nothing happened. Therefore, even if Du He killed Dou Xianren, even if he killed you too, His Majesty would be right to just verbally blame him. Who would let Du He
He's contribution to the Tang Dynasty was unparalleled..."
"This...is there any more royal method?"
"Hey, Master Dou, you are disrespectful to His Majesty. Please be careful of Your Majesty settling the scores later." Li Daozong reminded with "kindness".
Dou Aiwei quickly shut up.
Is this justified?
Dou Aiwei collapsed.
Is there really nothing we can do against Du He?
He thought for a long time, discussed with his military advisor, and finally came to the conclusion: There is really no way to deal with a big devil like Du He.
