Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 225 Who Will He Be?

Kong Xiangying, an old man in his fifties and sixties, almost knelt down beside Zhao Dongli's legs and cried.

What can he do?At that time, he was just a small magistrate of Lanling County, he couldn't afford to offend any big Buddha, and if the case couldn't be solved, he would bear the brunt of it.

When he was at his wit's end, he got advice from others, and then he managed such a big family extermination case in a decent manner.The Tao family is dead anyway, and the remaining few distant relatives are ordinary people, so they can't make waves.

The bandits in Jiuding Mountain also made the merchants and travelers in the past not very troubled. Kong Xiangying always wanted to eliminate them but suffered from having no soldiers at hand.

In this way, they complement each other.If the common people are happy, he is also happy. As for the truth, does it matter?
After all, Zhao Dongli was young, and his first job was in a place like the Ministry of Punishment where his own brother was at the top. Whoever dares to bully him has always had a smooth life, thinking that as an official, as long as he is dedicated , dedication is enough.

He had never seen the idea of ​​twists and turns, sophistication, and self-preservation in the local area. At this moment, he really hated him, and wanted to scold Kong Xiangying for venting his anger before writing a memorial and referring to him for a book of vegetarian dishes.

But listening to Kong Xiangying crying, his gray beard trembled, but Zhao Dongli slowly calmed down again.

That's right, from the standpoint of County Magistrate Kong at that time, he was not wrong. After all, in this world, people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth destroy a lot.He didn't just find an innocent person to top the tank, he already had a good conscience.

But in the end it is difficult to understand, the bandits have done a lot of evil, and they should obey the law, but they should not pay for things they have never done.And Dorothy.Whether the Tao family has a concubine surnamed Luo is uncertain, and all the women in the Tao family can't straighten up because of this basin of sewage.

Bullying the dead can't come out and prove innocence.

Isn't that pitiful woman who died under Tao Luo's name?In fact, when Kong Xiangying led the troops into the mountain, Zhang Cong did marry a wife, but this lady was a good daughter of a family who kept her own life down the mountain, and she was forcibly snatched up the mountain because of her beauty.

What's wrong with this!Zhao Dongli couldn't get out of the breath he was holding back for a while, feeling extremely uncomfortable.He went back to Beijing in such a sullen mood, and immediately came to Zhao Dongzhi to complain.

This is the case in the entire court, and it will only be worse in the local area. Zhao Dongzhi just listened to his younger brother complaining silently, and then chose a few representative party disputes and official affairs to listen to him.

You can't just look at the surface of everything, human nature is always like this, in the final analysis, people are nothing but selfish animals.If you see through and see clearly, you will understand that you should never count on or test human nature.

Zhao Dongli basically reshaped the Three Views, and he couldn't help but sigh, can't I be naive for a few more years?

The Tao family extermination case is equivalent to not being solved. The Luo family and Shunping bodyguards exterminate the door case and the Tao family extermination case. Possibly, these three cases were committed by the same gang.

Zhao Dongzhi thought of Yang Ye.I'm afraid that this person who is close to the eldest princess at any cost really has another purpose.He began to seriously consider the feasibility of having Tao Zi and Yang Ye face to face.

Even the tea doctor who came into contact with him was probably a survivor. Is he from the Luo family or from the Shunping Escort?
It can be a scam.

Although the dossiers of the two extermination cases were poorly written, the names of the deceased were still listed.

Because Dr. Cha covered his face, he couldn't see his actual face clearly, but his voice was not too loud, between thirty and forty, and he was not very old when the crime happened, probably in his teens at most.

The Escort would not hire such young children, and the relatives of the Escorts did not live in the Escort.

The Luo family does have one.

Luo Shian, the youngest grandson of the Luo family, was 12 years old at the time.

Will it be him?

The business in the small teahouse was very good today, all five seats by the window were filled, and there were also three sparse tables in the hall, which was almost full.

Dr. Tea, who is all in the running to make tea and boil water, can't see any joy at all. His cold mask reflects the silver-white light. He seems a little impatient, but he can only deliver tea and snacks table by table, at a slow pace. Fingers crossed.

Fortunately, the guests didn't mind, they all chatted with their companions, the voices were not too loud, the teahouse was buzzing, and it was not as quiet as usual.

After a busy lap, the boiling water in the pot bottomed out, and he had to boil the water again.

"Xiao Er, add bad pig's head meat to my master." At this time, pigs are cheap, so the price of pig's head meat is not high. The dim sum and side dishes in this small teahouse are not expensive, and the most expensive one only costs fifteen yuan.

He had no choice but to sigh inwardly, resigned to his fate, and brought out a plate of pork head meat consigned by someone he knew this morning.

"Hey, have you heard? Something big happened in Jinan Mansion."

"Ah? It's been reported that things from Jinan Mansion are so far away? I haven't heard of it. Second brother, you are really well-informed. Tell your brother quickly."

"Yo, it's not a new case, it happened 20 years ago."

Dr. Tea passing by listened, but he walked over with a blank face, put down the pig's head, turned around and went back to his own business, as if he hadn't heard.

"20 years? Honey, I was still nursing in my mother's arms at that time!"

"No, it's been a long time ago. I heard that there was a Luo family who sold rice. The house suddenly caught fire. It was a big house. Not even the wall was left, and all the family members died."

"All dead? How many people died?"

"Twenty or ten? That's not the point. The point is that the government said at the time that it was an accidental fire, and it was the Luo family's bad luck."

"what about now?"

"An imperial envoy went to investigate and said that there was a grievance, not an accident, but man-made."

"Human salary? What kind of hatred and resentment? Want to destroy people's families?"

"We don't know, we can't talk nonsense, we still have to wait for the investigation to find out."

"Hey, the co-author hasn't found out yet? How do you know?"

"My cousin followed, I don't know?"

"Hey, 20 years ago, if anyone finds out now, they are all dead."

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that the young master of the Luo family is not dead. It seems that his name is Luo Shi'an. When a teenager was born, all his relatives died overnight, so he might be so sad."

"Oh, there are so many pitiful people in this world. If he is like this, there will be a day when his grievances will be cleared up. No one cares about how many times he has."

"That's right, forget it, forget it, what are we talking about, drink tea and drink tea."

Dr. Tea lowered his head, he didn't even hear the merrily chirping of the water in the pot, it was because the guests at the next table couldn't stand the high-frequency noise: "Xiao Er, the water is boiling!" Woke up in a daze.

The moment he turned around, under the silver mask, there were stars and tears flashing past.
