God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 601 Blood Ruyi
"Ascension! Take Dou Gou, the bandit leader of Yakou Village!" Du He sat upright, slapped the gavel, and said in a deep voice.

"mighty!"

dong dong dong.

The servants on both sides of the hall hit the ground with their sticks and shouted in unison.

Of course, the people had never seen this battle before, and they all felt very novel.

Not to mention the common people, even other officials felt very strange.

Because this is a ceremony that only appeared after the Tang Dynasty, it is very powerful.

clap clap.

Dou Gou, the leader of the bandits in Yakou Village, was tied up in five flowers, his head was shackled, his feet were shackled, and he appeared under the hall under escort.

Snapped.

Du He patted the gavel and said loudly: "Who is in the hall, why don't you kneel down when you see me!"

Dou Gou stood still, looking at Du He coldly.

Two yamen servants next to him stepped forward, raised their sticks and threw them at Dou Gou's knee.

Bang bang.

With two muffled sounds, Dou Gou knelt directly on the ground.

Du He said: "Be lenient when confessing, and be strict when resisting. If you dare to lie to the official, let you sit in prison, Dou Gou, you can think about it. Today is your chance. If you confess honestly, maybe you can still succeed." Save your life, if you don't say anything, then the official can't save you, so I have to push you out of the hall and beheaded for public display!"

"Come here, hit thirty killing sticks first!"

The yamen servants stepped forward, pressed Dou Gou to the ground, raised their sticks and began to beat him violently.

"what……"

"what……"

After a long while, Dou Gou screamed: "Master Hou, don't hit me, don't hit me, I'll do everything, I'll do anything, don't hit me..."

With a wave of Du He's hand, the servants dispersed.

But Dou Gou was lying on the ground and couldn't get up.

When the people saw it, they applauded one after another.

Du He said lightly: "Dou Gou, I ask you, what is your relationship with the Dou Mansion?"

Ok?
Everyone around widened their eyes.

Although Dou Gou's surname is Dou, there are many people with the surname Dou in the same state. No one thought that Dou Gou was related to the Dou family before.

Hearing Du He's post, he was puzzled, could it be that Dou Gou is involved with the Dou Mansion?

Dou Gou hesitated.

Du He sneered and said, "Come on, keep fighting!"

Dou Gou heard this, his complexion changed, and he said in amazement: "Master Hou... I, I used to be a servant of the Dou Mansion, a guard of the Dou Mansion. I have become the head of this Yakou village, and I am completely the master of Dou Mansion. arranged by the government."

"what……"

Everyone was shocked.

Dou Gou, is it really related to the Dou family?
This guy is a guard of the Dou Mansion, so doesn't that mean that the bandits in Yakou Village have connections with the Dou Mansion?
All the people showed angry expressions and clenched their fists.

In the past, it was okay for the Dou family to bully others, but unexpectedly, the Dou family colluded with bandits and harmed the common people.

Du He asked: "Dou Gou, don't talk nonsense. The Dou Mansion is the largest gentry in Tongzhou, with a solid family background and a wealthy family. Why did you let you be the head of the Yakou Village? When I wiped out you, I found that your village has limited firewood, rice, oil and salt, and it is very shabby, and the things you block the way and rob are not as good as half a year's income from a shop in the Dou Mansion, so what good is the Dou Mansion letting you be a bandit?"

Dou Gou said: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Since last spring, a group of strong men have appeared in Yakou Village, who specialize in blocking roads and robbing. The governor has orders. The bandits in Yakou Village are not to be feared. The gentry of the state jointly carried out the extermination. Our master was the leader of the gentry of the same state, so he invited all the clans of the same state to donate money and food regularly every month for the suppression of bandits. This amount of money and food is not a small amount, and naturally it all went into the warehouse of the Dou Mansion!"

"Wow..."

Everyone was surprised again.

Unexpectedly, there is such an operation.

Those present were not only ordinary people from the same state, but also many gentry from the same state who came to inquire about the news.

Hearing what Dou Gou said at this moment, everyone was stunned.

Unexpectedly, this Dou Mansion not only oppressed the common people, but also deceived the gentry.

It's so shameless!

"The Dou family is shameless!"

"It's really unreasonable. It's in vain for my Zhang family to support the Dou family's suppression of bandits!"

"So that's the case. If there is no trial of Lord Hou today, wouldn't we be kept in the dark for the rest of our lives!"

"Let me just say, there are only hundreds of bandits in Yakou village. Why can't even Dou's family get rid of them? It turns out that these bandits were deliberately raised by Dou's house. Dou Aiguang is really a decent guy!"

Everyone discussed and expressed their dissatisfaction with Dou Fu.

For a time, the crowd was furious.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the crowd: "Everyone, don't be fooled by this bandit leader. He keeps saying that he is the guard of the Dou Mansion, but I have never seen him in the Dou Mansion." , I am afraid that this person deliberately provokes the relationship between the Dou Mansion and everyone!"

Du He frowned and said, "Who is making noise?"

A middle-aged man came out and said, "I want to report to Lord Hou, the young one is the guard of the Dou family, but he has never seen this bandit leader, let alone heard of a man named Dou Gou. , don't be fooled by this bandit leader. I'm afraid his name is fake."

Du He said coldly: "I'm handling the case, why do you have to tell me what to do here, there are no rules, if someone comes, drag it down, beat twenty with a cane, just to make a warning to others!"

This guy was dragged aside by a few yamen servants, he was beaten with twenty sticks, and screamed again and again.

Now, no one dares to talk nonsense anymore.

Just when everyone thought that Du He wanted to listen to Dou Gou's one-sided words, Du He suddenly asked: "Dou Gou, you keep saying that you are the guard of the Dou Mansion, and you are so convincing, how can you make me believe it? Say what you say, right?"

Dou Gou raised his head and said, "Master Hou, I have a token to prove my identity."

"Oh? Bring it up!"

Dou Gou groped from his chest for a while, and took out a red jade pendant, the size of a palm, and carefully handed it to the yamen servant.

Ma Zhou hurried forward, took it from the yamen servant, turned around and handed it to Du He.

Du He asked, "What is this?"

Dou Gou said: "Master Hou, this is a famous treasure in the same state, and the blood is as good as you want!"

"Blood Ruyi? Impossible!"

"How could it be on this bandit leader?"

"In the whole world, there is only one Xue Ruyi, which was owned by the Cui family of Boling, and later fell into the hands of the wife of Patriarch Dou, the wife of the Dou family. It is a rare treasure in the world. How could it be in the hands of this servant?"

The people in the hall began to discuss again.

Everyone agreed that Dou Gou's blood Ruyi was fake.

Du He turned his head, looked at Yang Cheng, and asked: "Yang Changshi, I have never heard of this thing before, do you know about it?"

Yang Cheng stood up and said respectfully: "Qi Hou Ye, Xue Ruyi is the treasure of Cui's wife, and also Cui's dowry. Even Patriarch Dou can't get this thing. This thing is the biggest. The characteristic is that it looks like an ordinary red jade pendant at first glance, but when placed under the sun, you can find that there is blood flowing in it, which is very beautiful!"
