Chapter 167: Evidence
After the three of them finished eating, Dou Miaojing was driven to continue studying the morning lecture in the screen, and the two big men set up a bed table on the stepping bed outside and began to play chess.
Although they each lowered their heads, it was obvious that no one was thinking about the chess game.
After being silent for a while, Dou Zhan asked, "How is the investigation going?" ”
Taiyu said "um": "They are really good at hiding, and after wandering through Fujian, they returned to Ningbo by boat." He paused, raised his head and frowned, "I heard that you still have two and four rooms in Ningbo?" ”
Dou Zhan's face changed, and he threw down the chess pieces and said, "Brother Tangtai, what are these words?" Could it be that our Dou family can collude with the people of Dongdao? ”
"Brother Zhan, don't worry." Tan Taiyu was not angry at all, "Your Dou family is divided into different families, if they commit a crime, they will always affect you, if there are really those flies and dogs, I don't think I can hide the eyes of your old lady in the long house." But as the saying goes, it is difficult to prevent thieves, and if you can't keep it, there are people under you who rely on the face of the main family, so they start to do shady things in private. ”
Taiyu is still young, but he has most of the power and business of the Tai family, and his methods and scheming should not be underestimated. Dou Zhan never doubted this. It's just that people suddenly involve their own families, and they are inevitably a little excited.
Dou Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, laughed casually again, crossed his legs on the stepping bed and continued to hold his son on the chess game, and said, "What do you mean, Brother Tai, we have to go to Ningbo?" ”
Dou Miaojing's mind was not at all on those boring account books, and she was listening to the words outside the screen. As soon as she heard the first few sentences, she only muttered that it was related to the capsizing of the boat downwind, but when she heard the next few sentences, she was suddenly shocked when it came to whether the second and fourth rooms of the Dou family were in collusion with the East Island thieves. Because of the memories and experiences of her previous life, she had to think wildly, could it be that her previous life was also because of this? Is the Dou family harboring a thief from Dongdao?
She really liked to eat the snow girl from the East Island a while ago! Think of the sweet, greasy, soft and glutinous taste. At this time, there was a wave of nausea. I thought that the cat was probably in the second room and the fourth room, and thought of the whole Western dressing mirror sent by the fourth master in her room. Most importantly. If the problem is really caused by the second and fourth rooms, then she has been pondering in Lin'an City for most of the year, isn't it a lot of effort?
As soon as she threw the pen, she walked out from behind the screen, and said with a serious expression: "Uncle Yu." You must be sure that you say this. But Miaojing doesn't understand that the family with decent power in the Ningbo Sea is not only our Dou family. The Shen family in Zhoushan, the Gu family in Guanhaiwei, they are all important families, why don't you doubt them? ”
The two of them didn't expect her to come out, and they were obviously stunned.
Dou Zhan dropped the chess pieces in his hand and said unhappily: "What are the girls talking about? ”
"I'm not talking nonsense. Uncle Zhan, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add, not to mention that this is a big crime of betraying the country, you can't be confused. ”
Dou Zhan's face was ugly, and he was so anxious to kick her out. was stopped by Tan Taiyu: "Miaojing doesn't know anything, and it should be suspicious." He comforted Dou Zhan, turned his head and smiled at Dou Miaojing, "What Miaojing said is not unreasonable. You wonder why I have this assumption, right? ”
Dou Miaojing nodded, but her psychology was tight.
She knows that Taiyu is not the kind of person who follows the crowd, and she was also angry just now, wanting to provoke these two people to tell the truth.
Yu Taiyu waved at her and waited for her to sit down beside her. He asked slowly, "You have a Zhuangzi at the foot of the North Peak, right?" ”
Is it her Zhuangzi?!
Dou Miaojing was puzzled, her big eyes were full of confusion, and her dark eyes were watery, flashing with her surprise at the moment.
She didn't let her answer. Instead, he continued: "Your Uncle Zhan and I did not return to Tianjin in June, but directly met a group of Dongdao people on the way. We watched and found that they had been invited by one of them to come to us. This man is very strong and hides so deeply that we can't find out who he is, let alone know if he's a man or a woman. I don't even know what he summoned these Dongdao people to Dawei for, and the Lord made them plunder the ships that sailed downwind. You may not know that recently, we sailed downwind and encountered a black flag ship in the East China Sea, but we didn't lose too much, so we didn't press it and didn't spread it. Do you know about Black Flag ships? ”
"Black flag ship?" Dou Miaojing didn't know. In her previous life, she was a short-lived ghost, where did she have the opportunity to know so many things.
Yu Taiyu smiled and patiently explained: "The black flag ship is a sea thief, but it is not a simple sea thief. They have an organization called the Black Flag Alliance, and everyone who joins the Black Flag Alliance has a blood debt on their backs, and they are desperate when they are pursued by the government on land, so they are forced to turn against the sea. And these people are not only from Dawei, but also from Dongdao and Goryeo......"
That's a gang of the most vicious!
"There is a saying in our merchant sea line, which is that those who encounter darkness will die. It is said that if you encounter a black flag ship, there is no possibility of survival. When Taiyu said this, his expression was solemn.
Dou Miaojing was suddenly confused again: "But they robbed the ship twice, and they didn't put your ship to death!" ”
Tan Taiyu's eyes lit up, and he smiled slightly: "You are wise and understanding, can you guess why?" ”
"I don't know." Dou Miaojing shook his head honestly.
Yu Taiyu sighed, his expression was a little gloomy: "Why is this, I also want to know." The black flag ship has never left a living mouth, why does it repeatedly meet the narrow road of the downwind boat, and show mercy to its subordinates? ”
Dou Miaojing couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Uncle Yu, you fool me, you don't know, how can I know." ”
"I can't underestimate you!" Yu Taiyu still couldn't hold back, touched Dou Miaojing's head, and loved it more and more in his heart. But that intention was in front of the eye, but he had to hide it firmly. As long as he sees that Miaojing is good and his life is smooth, he will not go south in vain.
This is a compliment to her!
Dou Miaojing pursed her pink lips, pretending to be unhappy and said, "You haven't said it yet, what does this have to do with our Dou family, is there someone from the Dou family on the Black Flag ship?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Dou Zhan almost jumped up, "The imperial court has repeatedly tried to destroy the Black Flag Alliance, but it has never been able to hurt a single hair, if people listen to it, our Dou family will die!" ”
Dou Miaojing bit her lip and muttered in her heart, the Dou family was wiped out in the previous life!
"Don't blame those who don't know." Taiyu is very tolerant of Dou Miaojing. Instead, he blamed himself, "It's me who didn't make it clear." How can there be descendants of the Dou family in the Black Flag Alliance, it's just that those outlaws from the East Island are from the Black Flag Alliance, and they are a few months ago. But he had contact with the mysterious man's men. It's in your Zhuangzi on the North Peak! ”
"You talk nonsense!" Dou Miaojing jumped up in surprise, trembling and glaring at Taiyu.
How could it be! How could it be! Black Flag Alliance, mysterious people, how could they appear on her Zhuangzi!
Her reaction surprised Dou Zhan instead: "What are you doing so excited?" I didn't say that you were also on Zhuangzi! He plucked out his ears. Lazily said, "According to the reports of the people under our hands, when those people met, no one from the Dou family appeared. What's even more strange is that two men in black followed them and sneaked outside the Zhuangzi, and they were finally discovered and had a fight. One of the men in black suffered a small loss, and in the end, both parties broke up unhappily. Tell me, why is this getting weirder? After we chased to Fujian, the Dongdao people turned back to Ningbo! What exactly do they want to do? "The last few words. It was Dou Zhan who scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks and asked Taiyu.
Men in Black? Wounded?
Dou Miaojing's mind flashed like a flash of light and flint on Gu Xing's face.
That man in black, could it be Gu Xing?
Her face gradually turned a little pale, and she suddenly realized that even if she was guarding against it day and night, the net of black sins in her previous life that did not know the root had slowly surrounded the Dou family. They have to get out of it with their whole body, and it becomes extremely complicated and difficult. And the Dou family, who still seems to be peaceful, still can't escape the fate of being killed and arrested overnight after many years, and the crime of "harboring anti-thieves" will be difficult to wash forever.
Stumbling underfoot. She sat down limply, a little startled.
"Miaojing? Miaojing? His words frightened Dou Miaojing, and she couldn't help but shake her shoulder worriedly.
At this time, Dou Zhan felt distressed, and glanced at Taiyu: "Look at what I asked you not to inquire about." Scare yourself out of silly, huh? Girl? Two girls! He gently patted Dou Miaojing's little face, and his face also showed a little anxious.
"Uncle Zhan! Woo woo woo uncle Zhan! Dou Miaojing cried when she came back to her senses. hugged Dou Zhan's sturdy waist and wiped snot and tears on his clothes.
"Girl, what are you crying about!" Dou Zhan's head suddenly became bigger, I really want to say that he had just changed his clothes!
Dou Miaojing's heart was sour. Bitter, I don't know why, I feel uncomfortable right now, and the tears in my eyes are not controlled by her, and they keep flowing out. She really wanted to save the Dou family, but again and again, she realized her weakness and humility. In the face of imperial power and darkness, her ability to act is really like a grasshopper shaking a tree, and she is beyond her strength. An inexplicable sadness and grievance quickly spread through her mood, making her cry out loud.
Qingping, who led the interested five-room uncle Dou Zhi, was startled by this cry before she entered the door, and stood outside the door with Dou Zhi, not knowing whether to retreat or advance.
And Dou Zhan was as if he had seen a savior, and hurriedly called Qingping in: "Hurry up and take the second lady down, let her maid accompany her to take a good rest, and then you will personally send people back to the Ming Garden." ”
Dou Zhi shouted: "Uncle Zhan, what happened to my second sister?" ”
"I ...... What can I do with your second sister! Dou Zhan looked inexplicable.
Qingping took a step back and said boldly: "You made the second miss cry yourself, why do you want a slave to coax you?" ”
"Where did I make her cry!" Dou Zhan was furious.
There was a little girl lying on her stomach softly, and when she looked at it, her anger disappeared again. I had to ask patiently: "What's wrong with you, girl?" Did you scare your uncle about you? Don't be afraid, Uncle Zhan will beat him for you! ”
This is obviously to blame others!
Dou Zhi stepped forward, glanced at Dou Zhan, then put Dou Miaojing on her shoulder, took out her own handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said softly: "Second sister, don't cry, let's go home?" It must be because you are too stupid to learn, so Uncle Zhan scolded you, right? Don't be afraid, I'll let my dad teach you, my dad won't scold you. ”
Is he here to coax or hurt?
Dou Miaojing burst into tears and laughed, pulled away his handkerchief to wipe his face, glared at him and said, "I'm not stupid, I can learn everything in the morning!" Drying his face, he finally remembered and asked him, "What are you doing here when you're not in the academy at this time?" ”
Dou Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled like a little adult: "It's good if you laugh." This afternoon, Mr. was invited to sit at the county king's mansion, and we were given a big vacation. Let me tell you, Dou Pu and Ren Di went to the gambling house again, and I came back with Xun Cong's brother. ”
Dou Pu couldn't care about Ren Di, but the previous words made Dou Miaojing suddenly startled in her heart.
She forgot that Zhu Song, who was going to ascend to the throne in the future, was now in Lin'an City as his king of Taiping County! After the words between the Chen family and Wang Zining before, she had a vague plan in her heart, and it suddenly became clear at this moment.
Because of the boldness and outrageousness of this plan, Dou Miaojing's whole body couldn't help but tremble, and her face was unconsciously dyed with two blushes, looking like she was drunk.
Fortunately, this state was just a moment, and she calmed down in a blink of an eye. Squeezed Dou Zhi's hand and asked, "Then what are you here for?" "Pulling away from the topic, I just want to cover up my strangeness.
Dou Zhi grinned, and her curved eyebrows jumped directly from her to Dou Zhan: "Hey, hey, I heard that Uncle Zhan has a horse ...... here."
Do you need to hear about this? Dou Zhi has been talking about those horses for half a year.
Dou Zhan saw that Dou Miaojing was no longer crying, and breathed a sigh of relief. At the moment, no matter what she wanted, he just agreed. When she heard that Dou Zhi was going to ride a horse, she immediately said, "I'll lead you and teach you personally, go!" With that, he picked up Dou Zhi and ran out of the study.
Dou Zhi is a baby bump in the fifth room, and she can't make a mistake, Qingping is afraid that Dou Zhan will not have a serious deal in his hands, and it will be bad to have a dislike with the fifth room when the time comes. He hurriedly followed, and when he went out, he ordered someone to call Zhou Yunsheng who was in the tea room to serve Dou Miaojing.
Dou Miaojing came to Taiyu's side and asked with a smile: "Uncle Yu, what you just mean is that you are determined to go to Ningbo with Uncle Zhan, right?" (To be continued.) )xh211
