Chapter 387: The City Lord Visits
The whole thing quickly set off a whirlwind in Dan City. Because the shock of this incident is too great, the number of people who have entered the city of Dan has suddenly decreased recently, and the main road that was originally very lively in the city is now sparsely populated.
There was a panic in the entire Dan City, many businessmen closed down, and the common people did not dare to step into their homes for half a step. Before the initiator of this incident was arrested and brought to justice, everyone was in a panic, who knew if he would become the next "Dou Erye" under the knife when he just went out.
For this reason, "Li Wen Chen Silk Village" is also temporarily closed. The Dou family has now become the target of public criticism, even if the Dou family wants to continue to open the door and do business, no one will go back to the Dou family.
Rumors spread everywhere, and for the Dou family, it was simply in dire straits.
On the second day of the incident, the city lord led a group of soldiers to stop at the gate of the Dou family's mansion. When the head of the Dou family heard this, he didn't dare to slack off and immediately went out to greet him, accompanied by the eldest young master of the Dou family, Dou Dou, and the six elders.
The head of the Dou family went out to greet him with a smile on his face, "The city lord has come to welcome you, please come in." β
The city lord led all the soldiers to the Dou family today, although the head of the Dou family knew that the person who came was not good, but he had to greet him with a smile.
The city lord had a dark face, and stepped into the Dou family's compound with his sleeves, of course, there was also a group of elite soldiers with him, and the rest of the soldiers surrounded the entire Dou family, as if they were ready to obey the orders of the city lord at any time.
The head of the Dou family was very unhappy about this, but he had no choice but to call the city lord.
The courtyard of the Dou family is very simple, and there is no trace of luxury at all. The city lord has been looking bad since he came to the Dou family, with a black face, and he is very unhappy.
In the living room, the city lord and the head of the Dou family were seated. The rest of the people all stood aside.
The head of the Dou family still greeted him with a smile and said, "I don't know what is important for the city lord to visit the Dou family today?"
The head of the Dou family knows the reason. But he still pretends that he doesn't know anything.
"Bang dang!"
The anger of the city lord finally exploded completely after the head of the Dou family had just finished saying this, and the teacup on the desk was directly overturned by the city lord.
The city lord was furious and said, "What an important matter?!!! your Dou family master's acting skills are really good, really good." β
The head of the Dou family immediately explained: "In the past few days, junior brother, I have had a hard time going out, and I don't know what happened outside, Lord She, you are not happy. β
The head of the Dou family continued to pretend that he didn't know, I didn't know anything, I didn't know anything, I didn't know anything......
The city lord was angry and rushed out directly, the green tendons on his forehead jumped violently, and he said angrily: "Your Dou family is ambitious. But it can't do such a big thing. Hmph, if your Dou family can't give a reasonable and satisfactory answer to this matter, just wait for the whole family to be wiped out! You like acting, right? Just continue acting, don't blame the city lord for not reminding you, the impact of this matter is beyond your imagination. β
The head of the Dou family put away his smiling smile and hurriedly said: "This matter has nothing to do with the Dou family, please also ask the city lord to be aware of everything." β
The lord of the castle was furious. On weekdays, he ignored the open and secret fights between these families, and turned a blind eye, which also saved him from breaking the peace and tranquility that Dancheng should have.
The Qin family's strength is huge, even if it is himself, he has to give them three points of face, and if he continues like this, the city lord will definitely not be reconciled. How can a family dominate in the city?
Therefore, the city lord intentionally or unintentionally secretly supported the Dou family, pushing the Dou family directly from a low-end family to the position of the second family in Dancheng. Fortunately, the Dou family can also be regarded as competitive. In the past few years, it has developed rapidly, and it has become the only family power that can compete with the Qin family.
However, the appetite of the Dou family is too great, and they actually want to completely remove the Qin family from the position of the first family in Dancheng by any means. The Dou family was crowned with the honor of the first family in Dancheng.
Will this work?
Of course not, did your idiot Dou family really think that the idiot family of the Qin family could become the first family in Dancheng for such a long time without a little bit of background?
So this time this incident was made, because the power affected was too wide, so the lord of the city was angry. Your maid's Dou family. Lao Tzu, I kindly supported you to grow from the last family to the second family in Dancheng, but now you are doing this kind of thing. I can't bear it.
The city lord raised his eyebrows, "You still want to be discerning, you obviously want to take this opportunity to suppress the Qin family." β
The head of the Dou family is wronged in his heart, this matter was not done by my Dou family at all, how do you want my Dou family to confess your guilt?
"City Lord, you Mingjian, my second brother has been missing for three years, how can he suddenly appear in Dancheng City and act recklessly? Even if my Dou family wants to sit in the position of the first family in Dancheng, it seems that they can't harm themselves like this, right?"
"The implication of Brother Dou's words is that someone wants to use the matter of your second brother to set off a storm in Dancheng? hehe, but no matter what, your Dou family is indeed involved, shouldn't you also give an explanation to the city lord?"
The lord of the city was stunned, and he wanted the Dou family to give the people of Dancheng a reasonable explanation. If your Dou family doesn't give an explanation, do you want to let the lord of this city give an explanation? Hmph.
Dou Dou broke out in a cold sweat with concern on the side, the city lord's intention to come this time is very obvious, whether it was done by the Dou family or not, since this matter has affected the Dou family, then the Dou family has to give an explanation.
The head of the Dou family is now suffering and can't say it, and he can't complain about his grievances.
Yes, the Dou family has ambitions, and they have been saving for so many years so that the Dou family can defeat the Qin family and become the first family in Dancheng. But now this is not the case.
The head of the Dou family is now resentful in his heart, and this matter is very obvious that the Qin family deliberately framed him, but the Dou family is powerless.
"Alas, what does the city lord's lord want my Dou family to do?"
"When the time comes, I will naturally tell Brother SΓΉ Dou, but this city lord is here to advise you today, the Qin family is not something you can defeat. It is good to be ambitious, but you must understand whether you have the strength and qualifications, and you must not be a sleeping lion is a cat. Feel at ease to be the second family of Dancheng, and Taoguang will be obscure. Do you understand?" the city lord was reluctant to let the Dou family, who had been personally promoted, collapse like this.
If there is no family like the Dou family to suppress the Qin family a little on the side, I am afraid that this Dancheng is really surnamed Qin.
It was very peculiar that the city lord did not punish the Dou family in any way, and left again with his soldiers.
When Dou Dou saw that the city lord had left, he stepped forward and said, "Dad, what should we do?"
"That's what the lord said. Before we can figure out the background behind the Qin family, we can't rashly attack it, otherwise it will only lead to fire. "The head of the Dou family understands the thoughts of the city lord, and now the situation in Dancheng, the city lord doesn't want to lose it.
If one is too dominant, it will only cause trouble for the lord of the castle.
"Could it be that my Dou family is willing to succumb to the Qin family?" Dou Dou was very uncomfortable.
"The top priority is that my Dou family is still in dire straits, whether it can get rid of it is still unknown, what can I do if I am unwilling? β
You, now that the Dou family is about to be gone, you still want to defeat the Qin family and rank first in Dancheng!
Dou Dou had no choice but to step aside. Now that this matter is full of turmoil in the city, everyone is talking about this matter, and even if the Dou family is the second family of Dancheng, there is no way to accept the pressure of public opinion.
Dou Dou felt very aggrieved in his heart, are these people all idiots? If it was really my Dou family's doing, would I let you know? Will you catch the handle?
You idiots will do this, it is clear that someone maliciously blames my Dou family, you idiots have become accomplices one by one, wanting to cause my Dou family to die.
Dou Dou is the eldest young master of the Dou family, but he is not very famous in Dancheng, everyone knows the Qin family, the fourth master of Qin, but very few people know the eldest young master of the Dou family. In the eyes of outsiders, Qin Siye is simply the pride of the sky, but what about himself?
Dou Dou has always hated Qin Siye extremely and hated his Qin family.
Dou Dou's hands were clenched into fists, his bones clicked, and the anger in his heart suddenly appeared.
Wait and see, the fourth elder of the Qin family, after this matter passes, Lao Tzu will definitely let you go directly from the altar.
You have been in the altar for a long time, and you think that you are the heavens? But you have unscrupulously slandered my Dou family?
Wait and see.
β¦β¦
The few elders present who heard the words of the city lord all looked bad.
The head of the Dou family said, "You also heard what the city lord said just now, but is there any way to get the Dou family out of this matter?"
The elders were silent, everyone knew that only by finding the initiator of this matter could they find the real culprit behind the scenes and give the Dou family justice. But who will be able to find the murderer?
I don't even know what else I'm looking for?
I'm afraid that the city lord won't be able to give much time for the Dou family to look for clues in this matter, so the head of the Dou family is a little angry, "Aren't you all able to speak well on weekdays, why have you all become dumb today?"
Dou Dou hurriedly said: "Dad, don't blame the elders, the Qin family has done so well in this matter, it is difficult to find that executioner at all." β
Bang!
The head of the Dou family slapped the case fiercely, and said angrily: "It's hard to find, don't you look for it? The city lord gave our Dou family time to investigate the case, but it can only be three or four days at most, don't you want to save yourself?"
Only then did the elders say one after another: "In this case, let most of the people of the Dou family go out to investigate at this time, since they have done it, they will definitely leave clues." β
