"The King of Hedong is really shameless! Although the king of Jian'an is also greedy, after all, he is only a coerced person, but the king of Hedong even cheats the dead! I—I'm not saying that Uncle Seven is really...... But, but after all, the time knows what it is, alas, thinking of his disgusting face, I hate to draw my sword and kill him! ”

In a shaded inner hall of the Dou family's house, the Dou family, who had a dispute with the king of Hedong during the day and was reprimanded by the troubles, was pale and full of indignation, and even couldn't help cursing: "I really don't know what kind of dirty court gives birth to such a wicked ......."

"You're not done! At present, people's eyes are mixed, and it is not easy to get together, just listen to you complaining here, do you want to arrange serious things? ”

In the hidden place in the hall, a person shot the case and shouted angrily, and the voice was Dou Shangjian, who had already died violently.

At this time, he was wearing a black robe, and he sat in the depths of the hall where the lights and shadows could not reach, his expression was also obscure, and he roared in a low voice: "I have already warned you that the king of Hedong has evil talents, what he says and does, just ignore it, and be polite and thoughtful." But you quarreled with him in the mourning hall, do you think that my trip to Huangquan lacks sound and entertainment? ”

"I—I didn't...... But the king of Hedong was too much, and he dared to ......"

The young man was still in a hurry to argue, and Dou Shangjian had already taken the case and shouted: "Expelle him from me, detain him, and don't see outsiders again!" ”

Although he is alive now, after all, he has died violently when he announces to the public, and he has become a living dead day and night, but he has nothing to worry about for the survival of the family business.

Of course, the mood can't be very good, and now seeing that my children don't know what is wrong and have to chatter, my mood can't help but be more irritable. If it weren't for the fact that the people in the family had panicked to an extreme right now, I really wanted to take this stupid thing away directly!

"Qigong was angry, and Erlang only experienced less danger, and when the king of Hedong deceived people too much, he couldn't hold back and lose his proportion. It is good to be less vigorous, as long as you survive the present, the survival and revival of the family business depends on these sons and daughters who have not lost their backbone. ”

The old man in the seat opened his mouth to comfort, and when he heard Dou Shangjian's breathing slow, he asked again: "Then the king of Hedong asked for the original house business of Leyou Yuan this time......

"Give it to him! Whatever he wants, give him something! ”

Dou Shang was also indignant in his words, and after a moment of silence, he sighed suddenly: "I hope that this kid is just greedy for some profits, and don't add trouble to my family now, I'm afraid that he will be difficult to fill ......."

Several people in the hall also looked gloomy after hearing this, and one of them couldn't help but ask, "Is the situation really that serious?" Not to mention that the matter has not been fully exposed, even if it is exposed, my family is so open, it will inevitably lead to jealousy. ”

"Hmph, since Si Chen, how many famous people in the sea have been killed?"

Dou Shangjian hated and scolded in a low voice: "Besides, the current sign of my family's catastrophe is not in the young king, but in the divine capital!" The divine capital summoned that the puppet king of the Wu clan was slightly punished, and his intentions were no longer in the court, and he wanted to transfer to the branch of the emperor's heir. My family bears the brunt of the problem, and if it can't be avoided, even if there is no immediate disturbance, it will be guilty, prepare early, and don't think about any luck......"

"However, even King Jian'an has been driven away, my family is not isolated in the world, and it is not so easy for the Wu family to cut off my family!"

Someone in the hall spoke in a quiet voice, and everyone else nodded.

"The truth is that it is, but ...... Alas, in short, be prepared. ”

Dou Shangjian sighed, then pointed to a few disciples and said, "You go back to the mourning hall first, don't stay in the inner room for a long time." Fourth brother, and Erlang, you two stay, and I still have some family details to explain. ”

After a few people left, Dou Shangjian instructed his cronies to close the doors and windows and guard outside, and then he sighed to the two people left in the hall and said: "The real reason why I did this laying is that I don't even dare to tell my family, because I am afraid that they will be frightened and don't know what kind of mess will happen." ”

"Is there a secret in it?"

When the old man and a thirty-year-old son heard this, their faces became a little ugly.

"Naturally, the kings of the Wu clan want to cut off my family, but the transmission of the Shendu family is deeper. This time, it is not only the Wu family who wants to make things difficult for my family, but even several ministers in Southern Province lamented that the families of their relatives are too arrogant......"

Dou Shangjian said in a heavy and astringent voice: "For example, Xue Jichang who traveled west this time, he was born in a famous family, and he is not an opportunist who seeks favor in an evil way, but he still left the Shendu, and he intends to ...... in my family."

"This, this...... The current situation is difficult, and it is necessary to work together in the same boat...... Why do they embarrass my family? ”

"Who's with me? Those people are the governors of Southern Province, and my family is embarrassed Qi Zong, the old head of Guanzhong. ”

When Dou Shangjian said this, he covered his face and sighed: "Have you forgotten why I wanted to assassinate the young king at that time? ”

"The scum of the young king's branches is thin and ......"

"The previous sentence is just nonsense, nowadays everyone is in danger, he has the ability to make a living, doesn't he just wait for trouble? The latter sentence is the point, Yu Ze of the Tang family, after several axes, the monarch's authority is weakening, and it is difficult to shelter from the public. My family can't tolerate the young king to disturb people's expectations, and some people can't tolerate my family to ...... anymore The human heart is sinister! ”

Dou Shangjian's face was bitter, he felt that the young king was redundant, and it was better to die than to live, so he wanted to send someone to assassinate him, but now some people in the court think that their Dou family is redundant, and they are big and weak, so they can't help much, but they can cause a lot of trouble.

When the two people in the hall heard this, they were really panicked, and the old man said in a trembling voice: "What kind of world is this? Neither the enemy nor I can tolerate it, could it be that the sky really wants to destroy my family! ”

"The situation is not optimistic, but it is not hopeless. The heroine is old, and her life is only in a short time, and she has survived the difficult moments in front of her, and there is still hope for the future! ”

Dou Shangjian quickly cleaned up his mood again, tried to make himself look more energetic, and knocked on the case and said in a condensed voice: "The old people of the Tang family may not tolerate me, and my family is not allowed to get close to the emperor's heir, but don't forget, my family still has the king of Chu to look forward to!" Therefore, this time I practice this snake transformation method, trying to preserve my family's heritage as much as possible, endure the cold winter, and be angry in the coming year! ”

"Now that I am faking my death and escaping, I have to act much more calmly, and I hide all the forces of my family's characters in the wilderness. Here in Xijing, I can't stay for a long time, but don't worry, Meiyu has returned to Beijing from Shendu, and when he comes back, there are still people in charge of family affairs on the table, and you will do your best to help him stabilize his family situation, so you don't have to think of me. When I get there, I will definitely send me back as soon as possible to reassure my family. ”

When the younger Dou family heard this, he said, "Seventh Uncle, I'll go with you." The road to Shu is difficult, and there are countless bee thieves in the Qinling Mountains, so you have to avoid people's eyes and ears at the moment, and you can't carry too many family disciples. If there are people in the same industry, they can also take care of it. ”

Dou Shangjian groaned for a while, and then said: "It's okay, then you don't want to stay in the ancestral house to make a show in the near future, first go out to the south of the city secretly, gather some manpower, and wait until the day of the funeral, I will sneak out of the city and join you, and then go to Qinling and go to Chengdu." ”

He turned to look at the old man again, patted the back of his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Erlang and I are going to leave home, and in a short time, the family affairs will be entrusted to the fourth brother." In short, although the catastrophe is coming, as long as the family works together, there is no time for trouble. ”

Not to mention the private plans of the Dou family, Xijing City has also been quite noisy recently because of the funeral of the Dou family. At first, there were only some old good portals coming to the door, but gradually, there were many more businessmen who came to the door to pay their respects.

These people are called condolences, but in fact, they are naturally spying on the reality of the Dou family, and many people do not leave after condolences in front of the spirit, staying inside and outside the Dou family house all day long, and some people even can't help but ask the Dou family for the payment.

If it were a normal day, these businessmen would naturally not dare to be so presumptuous in front of a court like the Dou family, but now there is a heated discussion that the Dou family is about to lose power, and there are even many people who say that the forbidden army sent by the gods to Xijing to arrest the Dou family and others is already on the way. The businessmen were worried about their own financial plans, so they naturally had fewer scruples.

Dou Shangjian lived at home, waiting for the day of the funeral to sneak out of the city, but he was not idle and had to continue to deal with these chores.

"After checking clearly, it was a new company in the West Market called Baoli Xingshe who was clamoring for these businessmen to make trouble. The head of the club is a merchant in Shuzhong, and he also invited power under my house, but I heard that not long ago, his family's wealth bribed the king of Hedong, and now he has walked in the palace. Dare to publicize the hidden affairs of my family, it must be the instructions of the king of Hedong! ”

A Dou family in mourning clothes said hatefully: "This king of Hedong is really despicable!" I blackmailed my family business before, and my family has gritted its teeth to give it away, but it still refuses to give up! ”

"How can the disaster of being killed be so simple. You are still lucky, I think the young king may not know the details, he is now targeting my family everywhere, how can you not know! ”

After hearing this, Dou Shangjian snorted coldly: "This king of Hedong is really exhausted, and he won't stop until he reaches his goal." What is especially frightening lies in the word 'forbearance'. Looking at his actions, unlike those who only learned recently, but he can endure to see my family's decadence before making a move, the young king is really terrifying, he is young and has old methods.

However, even if my family is uneasy, it is not those businessmen who can provoke it, and then there are troublemakers who will be expelled from the house. Tell them that they should discuss everything after my funeral. I must not move now, otherwise I will enter the young king! ”

So, the Dou family gritted their teeth and continued to organize the funeral in this kind of noise, and the time soon came to the day of the funeral. The ancestral tomb of the Dou family is located in Xianyang, so on the day of the funeral, it is also a hemp banner exhibition, and everyone comes out together, and after leaving the city, they go to the direction of Xianyang.

Dou Shangjian was wearing a plain linen round-necked robe, his face was smeared with turmeric with medicinal juice, and a beautiful beard had already been cut off.

He stood in the crowd of onlookers on the dirt road outside the city, watching his coffin fade away, and he felt a different feeling in his heart, and when the onlookers dispersed, he also boarded a carriage.

The henchman in charge of the car turned his head and asked, "Qigong, now rush to the south of the city to join the family?" ”

"No, let's go west, let's go to Jingzhou."

Dou Shangjian didn't plan to go to Shuzhong at all, but this plan was not revealed even to his closest family members.

The house slave was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he didn't dare to ask more, and went straight to the west, with two carriages in front and behind, and more than a dozen rough envoys supporting him, which seemed to be undoubtedly the same as the ordinary merchants, and few people paid attention to it.

The group marched all the way to a rural manor on the outskirts of Shiping County before sunset.

Dou Shangjian lifted the curtain, looked at the fence of the manor by the afterglow of the sunset, but did not find the token that the henchmen had sent before agreed to erect, his face changed suddenly, and he said quickly: "Retreat, retreat!" Don't get into the bank! ”

But at this time it was too late, nearly a hundred galloping horses in the village galloped out, and soon surrounded Dou Shangjian and his party in the field, and the knights waved sticks and forced everyone to get out of the car and be bound, and then escorted them to the village.

Li Tong stood outside the gate of the manor, watching the daring soldiers escort Dou Shangjian, who had already changed his appearance, back, and couldn't help laughing: "Dou Jun Dou Jun, let's see you again, a few days ago I thought that there was no such fate in this life." I want to apologize to you, I promised to set up a tent to send you a spirit, but I didn't want to meet the gods and say that I might be able to see you here, and I did. ”

Dou Shangjian saw the young king standing here, his already yellowed face turned gray, and after hearing this, he said angrily: "Dou Meiyu betrayed me!" ”
