The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1712
"I have never heard of this matter. If the family members of the deceased go to the government, they should also go to the Chang'an government office? It has been dealt with," Dai Zhou said.

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "No, the deceased's family letter found the officials of the Chang'an government office, but the officials of the Chang'an government office suppressed this matter, and then the deceased went to Dali Temple to complain."

"But here in Dali Temple, I haven't heard of this case, maybe it's the people below."

"Master Dai really doesn't know about this case?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Dai Zhou shook his head: "I've never heard of it."

"This case involves a person, a person who has died." Xuan Shijing said.

"Who?" Dai Zhou asked.

"Dou Shanglie." Xuan Shijing said: "The person who defiled that woman was Dou Shanglie. The woman's brother worked as a waiter in a restaurant in Chang'an City. After the incident, the deceased's brother went to the Chang'an government office to complain, but Because Dou Shanglie is a member of the Dou family, the officials of the Chang'an government office were afraid of the power of the Dou family, so they suppressed this matter. Seeing that the officials of the Chang'an government office were like this, he went directly to Dali Temple, but Dali Temple did not Take care of the case."

"This..." Dai Zhou was also surprised when he heard about this from Xuan Shijing.

The officials below are afraid of the power of the Dou family. It is true, but such a big case was suppressed so that no word was leaked. Those officials were really too bold. Don't take it seriously?

However, all right, why did Xuan Shijing come to meet him and bring up this case?
Dai Zhou understood Xuan Shijing to some extent. This is a troublesome matter, and he is a person who is afraid of trouble. This case has nothing to do with him. Why is he so enthusiastic about it?
Could it be aimed at the Dou family?
Because of Dou Shanglie's case, the relationship between the Xuan family and the Dou family has just eased, so why is he bothering?

"Then how did Duke Xuan find out about this case?" Dai Zhou asked.

"This is related to Dou Shanglie's death." Xuan Shijing said: "The case of Dou Shanglie has not been understood yet. His death was not an accident, but man-made."

"Warrior?" Dai Zhou thought about what Xuan Shijing said just now: "Xuan Gong means that the murderer is the older brother of the girl who was defiled by Dou Shanglie, that is, a restaurant guy?"

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Exactly, that guy is working in Dingfulou, and the food that Dou Shanglie ate that day was ordered from Dingfulou, and the people from Dingfulou delivered it to the painting boat by the Xuanwu Lake. And according to the shopkeeper of the restaurant, among the meals originally prepared for Dou Shanglie, there was no such dish as horse meat, and that dish was added by the guy later."

Horse meat is not a rare item, nor is it the signature dish of Ding Fu Lou. Generally, people who can afford to eat in restaurants don't look down on horse meat. Poor people, because they really can't afford meat, horse meat is the cheapest, but they can't eat more. For poor people, meat is good, mainly because it is cheap.

Dou Shanglie is the young master of the Dou family, how could he see the horse meat, this horse meat was added by that guy, Xuan Shijing reckoned that after the food was served, Dou Shanglie would not carefully look at what the meat was, Anyway, as long as you eat it, you will know.

The taste of horse meat dishes is unique and delicious, and Dou Shanglie will use more chopsticks. In this way, horse meat can easily kill Dou Shanglie when combined with the jaundice that Dou Shanglie suffers from.

"Even so, even most of the doctors in Chang'an City don't know that people with jaundice cannot eat horse meat. How could he, a little fellow, know this?" Dai Zhou asked.

"According to the investigation of my subordinates, a year ago, the man left Chang'an City to visit his relatives. His relative's child suffered from jaundice, and he hired a quack doctor at that time. , It was the doctor who told their family, and the guy listened to it, and when he came back, he happened to use it on Dou Shanglie." Xuan Shijing said: "Dou Shanglie's case can be closed, but the guy's sister's case must always be settled. There is a saying."

"The case has been going on for so long, and the person involved, Dou Shanglie, is dead, so I'm afraid it's not easy to investigate." Dai Zhou groped the beard on his chin and said.

"The victim is dead, and Dou Shanglie is also dead. The victim's elder brother became the murderer of Dou Shanglie, but those officials back then are still at large." Xuan Shijing said: "Master Dai will not intend to indulge his subordinates, right? ?”

"That's not the case. Think about it, Xuangong. When this case was suppressed back then, it was so silent in Chang'an City. There must be many people involved and things involved. Although they have been arrested now There is a vine, you can follow the vine, but in the end, no one knows what it will be." Dai Zhou said.

"Because you are afraid, so you have to stand by and watch?" Xuan Shijing said coldly: "Master Dai, this is Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, at the feet of the emperor!"

When Xuan Shijing said this, it could not be said that he was heartbroken, and there was a bit of disappointment in his tone.

Dai Zhou is a good person, at least after getting along for so many years, Xuan Shijing thinks so, the old fox is a fine person, but he has never done anything wicked. When Xuan Shijing was a neighbor of Dali Temple, Dai Zhou Although Shenhou Mansion was asked to help Dali Temple with a lot of things, but the starting point was good, and there was quite a friendship between the two of them.

But today I didn't expect that Dai Zhou would say such a thing.

Is it because people from Dali Temple were involved in this case or what?

Afraid that after this incident is exposed, will it affect his official career?
Dai Zhou sighed, and shook his head helplessly: "What Xuan Gong said is, it's just that the old man is old, and it is estimated that in one or two years, at most three years, he will step down from this seat and return to his hometown. The family can retire in peace of mind.”

Pension.
It is true that Dai Zhou is not too young. He has been in the position of Zhengqing in Dali Temple for so many years without making any progress. In terms of official career, this is the end.

Dai Zhou wanted to live out the last days of his official career in a safe and sound way, and to be able to retire safely. As for after he retired, it had nothing to do with him regardless of the flood.

But once all this case is drawn out, can he, the chief official of Dali Temple, be able to stay out of it by himself?

After so many years, seeing that it can start well and end well, what is the result?
