Chapter 521

After a while, Dou Aiwei clenched his fists and made a difficult decision.

"Okay, I promise you."

Dou Xianren is the only official of the Dou family in Chang'an. Although he is only a sixth-rank official, he is also a Beijing official, and he is much more prestigious than in Tongzhou.

If Dou Xianren was really punished and executed, it would be tantamount to breaking off one of Dou's arms in Beijing.

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 already agreed to your conditions, Lord Hou, where is my son Xianren?"

Du He smiled and said: "Patriarch Dou, don't be in a hurry. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and you can't hold Meijiao Niang in a hurry. There is a second thing. Second, the Dou family must tell the world, Dou Gongde and Yuchi Baolin He was killed by mistake in a fight, not Yuchi Baolin's deliberate murder as your Dou family said..."

"Du He, don't bully people too much!" Dou Aiwei couldn't help jumping 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 mansion and ask Wu Guogong's mansion to pay the Dou family a sum of compensation."

Dou Aiwei thought about it, and this is not too bad.

He asked, "How much is the compensation?"

Du He stretched out a finger: "Wu Guogong's government will pay Dou a penny."

A penny?

Why don't you say send beggars away.

Dou Aiwei couldn't bear it anymore and was about to explode.

Du He patted the table and reminded: "Patriarch Dou, you can think clearly. This second condition is actually harmless, but it can ease the conflict between you and Duke Wu's mansion. Otherwise, with my irritable Uncle Yuchi's character, The big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken, do you believe that he mobilized the army to directly attack Tongzhou and wiped out all your Dou family?"

Dou Aiwei thought of Yu Chi Gong's fierce appearance just now...it's not impossible.

He was silent for a while, and after discussing with the military advisor Yang Wei, he said, "Okay... the old man also agreed to you."

Du He waved his hand.

Only then did Wei Ting take out Dou Xianren's signed confession, and said, "Patriarch Dou, there is only one confession, as long as you sign and pledge the two conditions you just agreed to Huyi County Marquis, this confession is yours. Otherwise, I will present it to His Majesty."

Dou Aiwei asked Yang Wei to check the place where the signature was drawn, and then impatiently signed the negotiation contract.

Afterwards, he couldn't wait for Yang Wei to take out the fire folder and burn all the confession.

Dou Aiwei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Master Wei, Lord Li, the negotiation is over, please let Xianren go."

With that said, he turned around and was about to leave.

But Du He yelled: "Wait!"

"You still have something to do?" Dou Aiwei's heart skipped a beat, with a bad premonition.

I only heard Du He say: "Patriarch Dou, the matter between the Dou family and Duke Wu's mansion has been resolved, but the matter of my young master has not been resolved yet."

"The Dou family has no enmity with you." Dou Aiwei was a little unhappy.

Snapped.

Du He slapped the table and said angrily: "Patriarch Dou, you are really forgetful. Just now, the confession has already said that Dou Xianren set up an ambush at the Huguo Temple to kill Yuan Xiu, and even my young master was involved. It's really courageous, just relying on this, 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 already burned the confession. What evidence do you have to prove that Xianren bought the ambush to be against you? I will accuse you of framing."

boom.

Du He stood up and slammed his fist on the table: "Evidence? This young master never needs evidence when doing things. If you don't believe me, you can go to Chang'an to inquire about it."

Dou Aiwei: "..."

Yang Wei hastily stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Patriarch, calm down... Du He is a man who behaves strangely and unpredictablely. He used to be one of the four evils in Chang'an, but later he became one of the great evils in Chang'an, and he even became a murderer without blinking an eye. Mad devil, there are children crying in the people's homes, as long as the word Du He is said, the children will not dare to cry again, let's not provoke him, otherwise it will be bad for Dou."

Dou Aiwei thought to himself, is this damn human?

He suppressed his anger and said, "Okay, okay, let's talk then."

He sat down again.

Du He said straight to the point: "Dou Xianren dared to ambush me with heavy soldiers and killed me, which caused serious psychological trauma to my young master. Therefore, Mrs. Dou must compensate me for mental damage, a total of 50 guan."

50 guan?

Dou Aiwei's eyes widened and he was furious: "Du He, why don't you grab it, 50 guan, it's impossible!"

Du He looked at Dou Aiwei coldly.

He waved.

I saw Zhang Jian came out with two guards, escorting Dou Xianren.

Dou Xianren was drenched in blood and was dying, as if he would die at any moment.

Dou Aiwei shouted heartbroken: "Xianren..."

He wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Du He's guards.

Du He said: "Dou Xianren set up an ambush in the Huguo Temple, intending to kill this young master, but this young master is a combination of civil, military and musical stars in the sky, and he survived the catastrophe. The abbot of the Huguo Temple led people to rescue me. In the chaos, Cutting off one hand and one leg of Dou Xianren, this is justifiable... Patriarch Dou, I will give you half a stick of incense. come true!"

Zhang Jian immediately lit a stick of incense and stuck it on the table next to him.

Dou Xianren cried and shouted: "Father, save me, save me...I don't want to die!"

Dou Aiwei sat on the chair without saying a word.

Military strategist Yang Wei was walking back and forth anxiously like ants on a hot pot.

Du He's legs were resting on the chair, holding a polished ax in his hand.

At this time, Li Daozong got up and walked to Dou Aiwei's side.

Dou Aiwei and Li Daozong have met for several times, and they are still familiar.

Dou Aiwei hurriedly asked: "Lord Li, do you think Du He really dares to touch Xianren? Does your majesty not care about it?"

Li Daozong helped his beard and said earnestly: "Patriarch Dou, you are wrong. Du He is not daring 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 Tang Dynasty, but the Tubo prince actually sent someone to attack the dream group, and even Du He's fur was not hurt. Guess what? Du He directly took the cannon... in broad daylight In the face of the forbidden army, he killed the Tubo prince... In the end, nothing happened, so even if Du He killed Dou Xianren, even if he killed you, His Majesty would be most right to just verbally blame him. He has contributed more than heaven to Datang..."

"This... is there any king law?"

"Hey, Patriarch Dou, you are disrespectful to His Majesty. Be careful that Your Majesty settles accounts after the fall." Li Daozong reminded "kindly".

Dou Aiwei quickly shut up.

Is there any reason for this?

Dou Aiwei collapsed.

Is there really no way to take Duhe?
He thought about it for a long time, and discussed with his military adviser, and finally came to a conclusion: There is really nothing to do when encountering a big devil like Du He.
