I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 342 The ancestors bless
As an assassin, Sun Er excused Du Heng in such a way that the two brothers of the Du family were speechless.

refute?Or follow him?

Nothing seems right.

Fu Jinchuan, on the other hand, looked at Sun Er who was tied to the shelf and smiled with great interest, and then looked at Du Heng who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

He didn't look like a member of the Red Lotus who dared to participate in the assassination.

"Hou Ye Rong Bing, although this person is my trick, but this is just an occasional oversight. The Du family is full of good people, and they would never dare to participate in evil things such as treason and assassination. Please also ask Hou Ye to learn from him."

Du Dun also defended himself at this time.

And Sun Er on the rack laughed, "That's right, I did it all, and it has nothing to do with the Du family hahaha."

At this moment, Du Heng was so frightened that his face turned pale, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, he rushed over to gag the man's mouth first, no matter what he used, as long as he could not speak.

Because he seems to be explaining to the Du family now, but his tone and posture seem to be saying that all of this has something to do with the Du family.

"Since you have recognized this person, let's talk in another place."

After Fu Jinchuan dropped a sentence, he turned around and left the cell. Several guards and Zhao Yuanqi immediately followed behind, while Du Dun helped Du Heng to the end.

Back in a living room in the front yard, Fu Jinchuan waved his hand, and the guards and Zhao Yuanqi all agreed, and retreated directly.

Then he waved his hand, "Sit."

Du Dun and Du Heng were extremely hesitant after hearing this, why did they give up their seats?

But since Fu Jinchuan had spoken, the two sat tremblingly on the chairs.

At this time, Fu Jinchuan didn't speak, but picked up the teacup and drank the tea. After a while, only one person came in, it was Changshi Liu Xianke and the judge Xu Yinglong.

The two bowed their hands to Fu Jinchuan, who was on the main seat, and then sat opposite the Du brothers.

"Is this assassin today a guy from the Du family's Rice Shop?"

Fu Jinchuan put down his teacup, as if asking casually.

Du Dun and Du Heng's faces were pale, but Jie Shuai couldn't help but answer, so he could only respond: "It is true. But our Du family really doesn't know what he did."

Regardless of their excuses, Fu Jinchuan continued to ask: "The missing Li Yi must have been in the Du family for a long time, right?"

Here, Du Heng could only answer honestly: "There was a severe drought in Guanzhong that year, and Li Yi claimed that he came to Sichuan in order to survive. My late father saw that he was capable and literate, so he took him in as a buddy. Later, he was promoted to work as an accountant and steward, and Zhang Luo married a daughter-in-law for him, who was the daughter of a branch of our Du family. I dare not lie to Lord Hou. This Li Yi was indeed my confidant in charge before, but I did I really don't know his past, I have been here for more than ten years, and I haven't seen anything wrong with him, I can trust him to do everything, I never thought of it."

After leaving the cell, Du Heng finally regained some calmness, and his speech was no longer trembling and incoherent, but his heart was still a little uneasy.

But here Xu Yinglong suddenly asked: "Du Heng, I want to ask you, did you ask Li Yi to store tens of thousands of worth of goods in Yan's warehouse?"

When Du Heng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied calmly: "Don't dare to lie, there is indeed such a thing."

Xu Yinglong continued: "Then what are you planning to use these treasures for? Why was this treasure taken away by the thieves in Honglian Road the day before yesterday?"

When Du Heng heard it, he was stunned, "This... how could this happen. I want these goods..."

Du Dun on the side was also a little confused. If it only involved the guys in the rice shop, he could tell clearly that if Du Heng sent the goods to the bandits in Honglian Road, it would be a proper collusion with the bandits. Nothing changed.

Du Heng's side has a hard time but he can't tell, and he can't directly say that these things were originally intended to cover up the military settlement and were given to Fu Jinchuan in front of several people.

But if this matter is not mentioned, it seems that there are some suspicions that cannot be cleared now. After all, he asked Li Yi to store the goods in Yan's warehouse for convenience. After all, it is not good to give gifts. Things to go to Jiefu?

Isn't this blatant bribery?
So store these in the warehouse, and then send the gift slip and proof of delivery, so you don't have to worry about anything else.

Who knew that Li Yi, who killed a thousand swords, was actually a red lotus rebel, compared to the certificate he got back, it should be fake
Du Dun asked anxiously, "Lao Liu, when is it? Are you still hiding it? Do you want the whole family to be buried with you?"

Hearing what the third brother said, Du Heng had no choice but to tell the truth.

After all, compared to conspiring against the enemy, colluding with the bandits, whether it is bribery or taking property, it is not a big deal, even if it is punished, at most he will be killed.

".Actually, this money was intended to be given to Lord Hou."

"Oh?"

"Reporting to Lord Hou, I went out of the way to buy thousands of acres of military farmland at a low price. After Lord Hou entered Shu, he investigated the military settlement. I was worried that it would be traced to me, so I planned to send tens of thousands of mus to Lord Hou. Wealth, the ability to pull it over clearly is not good on the face of Jiefu, and it will damage the reputation of Lord Hou, so I want to store it in the warehouse of the Yan family, and then I can send the gift slip and proof directly. Who knows Li Yi This guy actually. This is the ticket he brought back to pick up the goods. I will take it with me after I get it back, and I will wait for when Master Hou returns from the expedition, and I will see you when I come to the door."

Fu Jinchuan laughed immediately after hearing these words, Xu Yinglong couldn't help laughing after hearing these words, but Du Dun just wanted to scold Du Heng for what he did.
"So, the money was originally mine?"

Fu Jinchuan made such a joke, the others didn't speak, Du Heng nodded directly and said: "Yes, it was originally given to Lord Hou. Please also learn from Lord Hou."

"Forget it, your money is hot, and I don't dare to take it. The money was intercepted by the officers and soldiers outside the city today, so let's put it in the treasury temporarily. As for the military settlement, let's talk about it later. Let's say you and this Li Yi, although you don't know what you say, but now Li Yi is nowhere to be seen, you are under suspicion, and if you want to get rid of your crimes, you can't be sure until you catch Li Yi. Before, you were still suspected of collaborating with thieves, come here. Stay here and put him in a prison cell."

Du Heng's heart felt ashamed when he heard it. He stood up when he was speaking, but now he just slumped on the chair.

But Du Dun wanted to say some words of begging for mercy, but he couldn't open his mouth. He could only watch helplessly as his cousin was detained by the tooth soldiers.

After all, it is only said that there is suspicion and he will be put in prison.

Judging from the current situation, it is not too much to imprison the entire Du family.

Because as far as the current evidence is concerned, there is no problem in saying that Du Jiatong is a bandit.Although Du Heng can only be caught now, this crime will implicate the whole family.

Therefore, only one person is now in custody, which is already very lenient by Fu Jinchuan, the Jiedu envoy.

When Du Heng was escorted down, Du Dun stood up and said, "Qi Hou Ye, Du Heng is my cousin. We grew up together since we were young. He would never dare to do such treasonous things. I don't know anything about Honglian Dao's assassination and treason. I also ask Lord Hou to learn from me. There are more than a thousand people in my Du family. Even if there are criminals, most of them are good people. The imperial court is an enemy, please Lord Hou go around my entire Du family."

After all, Du Dun prostrated himself on the ground, weeping uncontrollably.

After Fu Jinchuan heard this, he smiled and said: "Mr. Du San, it's useless for you to beg me. It involves treason. You know how big it is. What happened in the end? Is your Du family innocent? It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter what I say, it’s up to the court to have the final say. That’s all I have to say, so I can do it myself.”

After finishing speaking, Fu Jinchuan stood up and left.

Jiedu Judge Xu Yinglong followed along, but Changshi Liu Xianke came up to him and helped Du Dun up.

"Mr. Du, get up, Master Hou has already left."

Du Dun cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Liu Changshi, but what did Lord Hou say just now, please ask Liu Changshi to clarify."

After hearing this, Liu Xianke said with a smile: "Mr. Du, you are a smart person. You should know what the court lacks and what it wants. As for Lord Hou, I really don't want to get involved. Otherwise, the current evidence alone will be enough to let you know." You Du family are all in prison."

"What does the Marquis mean?"

Liu Xianke shook his head and said, "This is not what Lord Hou meant, or what the court meant. Except for such a big event, there will definitely be people coming to the capital. After people come to the capital, some things are not up to Lord Hou to decide on his own." .”

After speaking, Liu Xianke bowed his hands and left.

And Du Dun also followed the tooth soldiers who led the way out of the Jiefu, and then got into the carriage.

Leaning against the rickety car wall, he sighed.

"Bless the ancestors."
