Seeing this, Fang Xuanling hurriedly stepped forward and said comfortingly: "Master Changsun, don't be angry. Even if the Dou family's property is robbed by the common people and taken away by bandits, wouldn't it be good to leave the Dou family's property? Dou's crime of rebellion is
It’s a done deal, Dou’s business will naturally change hands..."
Changsun Wuji nodded: "Although it is difficult to explain this matter to Your Majesty, it is not bad to be able to take over Dou's business! Come on, Mr. Fang, let's go see how much business Dou has!"
"good!"
The two met and walked inside.
Arriving at a separate courtyard, in the middle of the courtyard, Changsun Wuji's guards had already captured Dou Aiwei's third brother.
Dou Aiwei's head was missing, Dou Aiguang died without a complete body, and Third Master Dou became the head of the Dou family.
Plop.
Seeing Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, Mr. Dou immediately knelt down and shouted: "Master Changsun, Master Fang, spare your life, spare your life!"
Changsun Wuji glanced at Mr. Dou and said calmly: "The Dou family has rebelled, and everyone in the family has been executed. Dou Aiyu, please hand over all the Dou family's business now, and I will say a word for you, the Dou family, in front of His Majesty."
of!"
Dou Aiyou smacked his lips and said: "Master Changsun, you... you are late!"
Dou Aiyou said slowly: "Dou's business was all sold to the Marquis of Huyi County early this morning."
"What price did Duhe pay?"
"A penny!"
Fang Xuanling: "..."
Changsun Wuji almost fainted.
Du He...it's Du He again, this guy actually got there first.
This is really unreasonable!
At this time, a subordinate came in a hurry and said in a panic: "Sir, it's not good, all Dou's business in Tongzhou is controlled by people from Dream Group, and Dream Group has also established a branch in Tongzhou.
, the person in charge of the branch is none other than Ma Zhou!"
Snapped.
Changsun Wuji punched the table hard: "Du He went too far... Humph, I originally planned not to embarrass him for Du Xiang's sake, but now it seems that I still need to beat him.
.”
Fang Xuanling asked: "Master Changsun, what do you mean?"
Changsun Wuji said coldly: "Master Fang, don't forget, in addition to the thorough investigation of the Dou family when we went to Tongzhou this time, we also had another major event, that is, the thorough investigation of Du He and the imprisonment of more than half of the officials in Tongzhou
Whatever the reason, Du He took down so many officials, which seriously affected the official atmosphere of Tongzhou and made people panic. He is responsible."
Changsun Wuji planned to use this matter to beat Du He, and then negotiate with Du He. It would be best to get Du He to hand over the Dou family's business.
With that said, he waved his hand: "Let's go to Tongzhoufu Yamen!"
Everyone soon arrived at the Tongzhou government office.
Sihu Wang reported: "Lord Changsun, the Marquis returned to Chang'an with his people half an hour ago!"
"What? Du He is leaving. He is traveling from Tongzhou. He has a lot of matters that he has yet to find out. Why did he leave?" Changsun Wuji said angrily.
Wang Da scratched his head: "But, Mr. Changsun, didn't you just say that once the edict is issued, the Marquis will no longer be in Tongzhou?"
Changsun Wuji: "..."
Du He ran away! Then Dou's business is basically hopeless.
He said angrily: "Call your governor out. I want to ask him what's going on with Dou's case!"
Wang Da said: "The governor has gone out of the city to hunt!"
"When are you coming back?"
Wang Da shook his head: "It's hard to say when I'm a low-ranking official. What the governor loves most is hunting. Sometimes he comes back in half a month, sometimes in a month, and sometimes he comes back in three or two days!"
Changsun Wuji was deflated and in a very uncomfortable mood.
He waved his sleeves and said: "First investigate the affairs of the officials from the same state. If those officials were innocently imprisoned by Du He, I will definitely report it to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to punish Du He!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked in from the door, it was Ma Zhou.
Ma Zhou stepped forward and said: "Master Changsun, Master Fang, and Du He, before leaving, asked me to hand over these files to the two adults. Please understand everything carefully. These are the explanations of those officials and the circumstances of the case!"
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling took the file and took a look at it, and were stunned.
He originally wanted to find fault, but the file was very beautiful, and the evidence of all the officials' crimes was clearly written down. Some officials had committed things that would have been punishable by beheading them, not to mention being put in jail.
"well……"
Changsun Wuji was so angry that he wanted to tear up all the files.
…
Banshan College, Dean’s Courtyard.
Du He had returned to Dream Group early in the morning.
Except for a few core members of the Dream Group, no one else knew he was back.
This time, Du He was very low-key.
At this moment, Du He was sitting behind the table.
Zhang Jian sat next to him, holding an account book in his hand, and kept talking: "Young Master, we have really made a fortune this time... The Dou family's property and the things we brought back to Chang'an from the Dou Mansion will be converted into
There are a total of 2.8 million Kaiyuan Tongbao... It's just that we were short of time. Otherwise, in addition to Dou Aiwei's branch, there are other members of the Dou family, if they were all copied, there would be at least 4 million... Young Master,
What should I do with this money? I'm afraid that if the eldest grandson, Sikong, won't let it go, troubles will come one after another!"
Du He smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Mr. Changsun can't afford to make trouble, because this money belongs to me and your Majesty. It will be divided into 40 and 60, me 4 and Your Majesty 6!"
"Why? We have worked so hard, why do we only get 40%?" Zhang Jian said in disbelief.
This guy has been following Du He for a long time, and the concept of superiority and inferiority in his heart and the idea of imperial power have long since faded to the edge of the sky.
Du He said with a smile: "I have my own opinions, and even Your Majesty can't take advantage of me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man from the door hurried in: "Young Master, someone is coming from the palace!"
Du He asked doubtfully: "Looking for me?"
"Yes, it's General Manager Ximen!" Old Fu said.
"welcome!"
Immediately, Ximen Qing walked in with a smile and said happily: "Congratulations, Lord Marquis, on your triumphant return!"
Du He said with a smile: "Chief Ximen, you are really good at talking. I have lost my official position in Zhou Biejia, so how can I call it a triumph when I come back in despair!"
Ximen Qing said nonchalantly: "In the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of slaves, Lord Marquis has indeed returned in triumph this time. Lord Marquis, Your Majesty invites you!"
Du He nodded: "Let me tidy up and go to see His Majesty. Manager Ximen will go first!"
"That's fine!"
Not long after, Du He packed up and left Banshan College in a carriage, heading straight for Chang'an.
…
Tai Chi Palace.
Royal study room.
Ximen Qing came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Huyi County has been brought to the door."
Li Er hurriedly put down the things in his hands and said: "You all, go down and let Du He come in!"
Ximen Qing was stunned, knowing that His Majesty wanted to summon Du He secretly, so he quickly drove away all the maids and eunuchs on the left and right.
As soon as he went out, Ximen Qing almost fell to the ground when he saw Du He's appearance.
