Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 205
Jiang Wenyuan frowned, knocking on the table repeatedly.

This time, Fifth Brother really gave him some headaches.

The investigation of the case three years ago made him dizzy, and the murderer committed suicide by himself, and he never stopped committing the crime, so it was finally solved.

This is great, here comes another one from 20 years ago, to put it bluntly, all the dead have been turned into ashes, what can I use to investigate?Just by the testimony of a servant?
There is a saying that if you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about.There is no evidence, nothing to prove.

The old nanny in front of me really looks honest and pitiful, but the law does not look at who is pitiful, and whoever is honest will favor whom. Even if Jiang Wenyuan knows the temperament of his fifth younger brother, he will not stab an unsure false accusation Come to yourself, but outsiders don't know!
"Mother Tao, let's start from the beginning. What happened to the extermination case 20 years ago?" If you study hard, you won't know what happened in other states.

"Yes, my lord, please forgive me." Finally, she had a chance to clear up her grievances, so Mother Tao naturally knew everything.

Things have to start from 23 years ago
Tao Zifang is fifteen years old, but her parents are worried about her marriage.Probably because she was the only daughter, if she married off, there would be no successors in the Tao family, and this huge family business would be cheaper than distant relatives.

The Tao family has a large-scale silk and satin shop in Lanling. Tao Zi's father, Tao Liangui, has devoted all his life to this shop. Because he is honest and tactful in his business, he always smiles when he meets everyone. That's right, Tao's family can be regarded as a well-to-do merchant in the local area.

Counting up to three generations, the heirs of the Tao family have always been difficult. In his generation, he has not even given birth to a son. There is no concubine in the back house who is full of confidence. After all these years, only Tao Zi a girl.

Seeing that Tao Liangui is nearly forty years old, he has been tossing for many years, drank a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, and no matter how much he recuperated, he has not brought him a son.

However, this son-in-law is not so easy to find.

Too smart can't do it, Tao Zi was raised by Tao Liangui very innocently, without much thought, find a husband who is too shrewd, and when the old couple is gone one day, Tao Zi will end up being cheated to death.

It doesn't matter if you are too stupid, the Tao family's silk and satin shop can't have no successors, and the future generations will have a hard life?So what is the significance of Tao Liangui's struggle?
Those with poor backgrounds are not good, they are humble when they are poor, and they can easily become bad when they have money.

If you don't have your own opinion, you can't do it. What kind of man is a big man who can't make up his mind about everything?
All in all, under Tao Liangui's rules and regulations, there is basically no one who can catch his eyes.

How can Tao Zi's marriage not become a big problem?Later, even the matchmaker walked around Tao's house.Whose family still has many requirements to find a son-in-law?Those who didn't know thought they were looking for a noble concubine.

Tao Liangui was so worried that several strands of her hair turned gray again!
It was his wife Fang who persuaded him: "Zi'er is just a little naive, not stupid. We are still healthy now, and we can always accompany her for another 30 to [-] years. Just teach him slowly. The husband-in-law who wants to recruit is in our eyes." Down below, I shouldn’t dare to have bad intentions.”

"But."

"No, but, if you enter our Tao family, you will be the Tao family. What will happen in the future, you and I will have the final say?" Fang categorically interrupted Tao Liangui's words.If the master continues to torment, Tao Zi will never be able to marry in this life.

If Fang knows what will happen in three years, I believe she would rather her daughter not get married than die, but there is everything in this world, except there is no medicine for regret!
In the end, under Tao Liangui's thousands of choices, he found a poor family with both parents dead and no brothers or sisters.

Tao Liangui helped him to name the name Deng Ye, implying that he hoped that he would be as vigorous and bright as a fire.

The Tao family and the Deng family are one in the sky and one in the other.

The Tao family eats delicious food, drinks spicy food, and wears gold and silver, while the Deng family eats the last meal without stopping, and wears coarse cloth and rags.

The Tao family has high beds and soft pillows, and there are dozens of houses. The half-collapsed kang of the Deng family has two thatched huts with missing roofs.

Before Deng Ye met Tao Liangui, he was basically a beggar. He could only sell coolies in exchange for some rice grains to survive. I have to take a break twice while carrying a bag.

But he has a pair of unyielding eyes!
Tao Liangui bumped into him once on the street by accident, but Tao Zi didn't know what happened. He only heard his father tell her with a smile later that seeing Deng Ye was like seeing himself when he was young.The same persistence of not believing in fate, and the same urgency to change fate.

So Deng Ye, who was favored by the Tao family, transformed into the tao family's son-in-law.

Beforehand, Tao Liangui had asked him very solemnly whether he would like to join the Tao family. From then on, all descendants would have the surname Tao.

Deng Ye responded without any hesitation or reluctance.I'm almost starving to death, so I don't care what my last name is?

So a pair of young people got married and lived happily ever after.

Deng Ye has a strong learning ability, which can be described as thirsty for knowledge.Tao Zi continued to live her ladylike life comfortably at home every day, enjoying the care of her newlywed husband, thinking that this would be her beautiful life in the next few decades.

In the autumn of the following year, after only a year of marriage, Tao Zi gave birth to the crystallization of their love, which was named Tao Ruofeng by his father.

Because of having a child, Deng Ye has been recognized by Tao Liangui as a real member of the Tao family, and he entrusts him with more business, while he himself lives a life of supporting his grandchildren.

For another two years, the business of Tao's silk and satin shop went from bad to worse, and even many former regular customers stopped patronizing. At the end of the year, Tao Liangui stared at the poor profit and frowned.

Deng Ye was approached to inquire about the reason, but he had countless reasons waiting there: the cost of raw materials was rising, there was a drought somewhere, the price of silk was not cheap, and the purchase price was high, which naturally reduced profits.

Tao Liangui is an old man, so it is impossible for him not to understand the way. He didn't get angry on the spot, but he wanted to find out in private. If it is true that Deng Ye's ability is limited, he can continue to take care of him for a few more years. outsider, hehe
But before Tao Liangui could take any action, Deng Ye did it!
When Tao Zi was knocked unconscious by the long machete, she still hadn't realized it. The majestic Lanling City, under the rule of the king, where did this gang of vicious bandits come from?

This is a cloud of suspicion that has not been able to dispel from Tao Zi's heart for a long time.Which bandits are so bold that instead of robbing passing merchants, they want to run wild in a densely populated county town guarded by soldiers?
If there is nothing tricky in it, she wouldn't believe it even if she was killed!
