0290 Fear of relatives and hatred
The people had already been caught, and it was already late, so Li Tong simply asked Dou Shangjian to escort him back to the grange, stay here for a day, and return to Xijing City tomorrow.
The private business of the Dou family, the location is very good, although it deviates from the avenue, but it lives next to the mountain stream, and a piece of plastered land is washed out between the two plateaus, although the area is not large, but if you add the orchards on both sides of the ridge, mulberry forests and the like, the scale is still quite considerable.
If you weren't familiar with the local terrain, you would never have thought that there was such a small world in the desolate countryside. It not only takes care of the livelihood, but also protects the secret, but I don't know how much of this kind of private business is still under the name of the Dou family.
There are more than a dozen households in the grange, all of whom are domestic slaves of the Dou family, and they have long been driven by the warriors to a large house that serves as a granary and controlled.
During the time of waiting for Dou Qi's arrival, Li Tong had also wandered around the Grange and was quite satisfied with this small stronghold, and planned to arrange for some households of the Ancient Clothing Society to live here later, as a contact point for the Ancient Clothing Society in western Beijing. Of course, this is also something that can only be arranged after the matter of the Dou family is completely resolved.
The group returned to the main house of the grange, and the daring soldiers went to arrange a guard on duty, and detained Dou Qi's entourage and the farmer together.
In the hall, Li Tong looked at Dou Qi, who was bound by his arms and looked aggrieved, and couldn't help but be happy. This guy really can't keep his hands sliding, and it's really lucky to be able to capture it this time.
But now that the person has been caught, Li Tong is also in a good mood, and he can't help but step forward and rub his fingers on Dou Qi's face to see what kind of medicinal juice this guy uses to make him look good.
Dou Shangjian stopped speaking after being caught, his expression was cloudy and uncertain, and he returned to Zhuangzhong all the way, and saw that the soldiers around the young king were all strong and powerful, and they had a bit of the spirit of forbidden troops, and they were not like the guards on the table of the palace, and he was naturally shocked in his heart.
The young king did something to him, he didn't dodge, he had a long time in his heart, and suddenly exclaimed: "It turns out that the looting of the Jian'an Wang's residence in Xijing City was actually done by the king of Hedong!" β
Li Tong was taken aback by this startled voice, and subconsciously raised his hand and slapped him: "Can you talk well?" I didn't intend to hide it from you, so why don't you raise your voice and ask again! How's that, didn't expect it? β
Hearing the young king's blunt admittance, Dou Qi's face became even more ugly, and at the same time, the surprise in his heart was really upside down. He really never thought that the young king had secretly networked so many outlaws, and he still had the courage to directly arrange to enter Xijing City to cause chaos!
Seeing the shock on Dou Qi's face, Li Tong's evil taste in his heart was also greatly satisfied. He has a lot of conspiracies and tricks, and many majestic deeds are not easy to tell people directly, but even if he engages in conspiracy, he wants to gain some recognition in his heart, so he usually holds back very much.
The praise of the subordinates is always a little inadequate, and the six are not good. Although this Dou Qi in front of him is far from being an opponent, it can be regarded as not dealing with him, refreshing this guy's perception of himself also makes Li Tong feel very happy.
"You lords, you are really not as good as the next. The ancestors were so heroic and daring, and a few royal industries gave you such a big dignitary family business, but you turned out to be good, the more you raised, the more you cultivated, the more you were weak, and you didn't even dare to plan for a big deal even if you were conspiring behind your back. Since it is unpleasant to look at King Jian'an, how much damage can it do by burning a few private warehouses for him? If it weren't for my action, Wu Youyi would only be afraid that he would still be in Xijing now, and he would be a group of powerful moths. β
When Dou Qi heard this, he was naturally shocked and angry in his heart, everything that happened today was greatly beyond his expectations, especially the king of Hedong in front of him, the two faces in front of him and behind him, which made him completely uncertain in his heart.
The villain died of talking too much, and Li Tong just had a good time, and nothing was poked out. The attachΓ©s outside the door brought dinner, which was some seasonal farmhouse meals.
In order to arrest this Dou Qi, Li Tong also got up early in the morning and ran outside the city for most of the day, and he was indeed hungry at this time, so he sat down and held a bowl of millet rice and ate it sweetly. Because of his good mood, he also asked Yang Siqiao to untie the rope on Dou Qi's body and let him eat some too.
Dou Qi was now reduced to a prisoner under the stairs, so he was naturally in no mood to eat, he rubbed his arm that was tied up and a little paralyzed, while looking at the young king who was quite unscrupulous and complacent, and suddenly said: "See you today, and I am very affectionate." The king is in charge of me, aren't you worried that I have other arrangements? The rescue may already be on the way. β
"You're bluffing me?"
Li Tong sneered twice after hearing this, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and pointed at Dou Qi and said: "From the moment you shouted Dou Meiyu's name, I already knew that you guys faked their death and escaped, planning to abandon their family and flee, and will tell their true whereabouts to those family members who are still working diligently now?" As for the characters you are hiding outside, I'm afraid that you don't show much, and it's better if you really have an arrangement. β
"It's not Meiyu, how can you find out about this place, my lord......"
When Dou Qi heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes again, his eyes full of surprise.
Seeing Dou Qi's appearance, Li Tong couldn't help laughing again, and sure enough, the fruits of victory obtained by hard work were exceptionally sweet.
To be honest, if it weren't for the coincidence this time, Li Tong might really not be able to catch this Dou Qi. He arranged many means in Xijing City, but this Dou Qi was able to endure it, and it really made him feel helpless.
Knowing that this guy is not dead, and it is very likely that he is hiding in the Dou family's old mansion, but the eyes of people in Xijing City are mixed, but it is inconvenient for him to send someone to rush in to search.
Originally, the suspect location locked by the Former Clothes Society was in a Dou garden in the south of Chang'an City, and the other clansmen of the Dou family were busy rectifying the funeral, but there were several Dou family members there who were secretly mobilizing manpower, of course, it was very suspicious.
Originally, Li Tong also thought that this place might be the point, and even sent out a group of daring soldiers to lurk in the suburbs and wait for orders to intercept them.
But just the day before yesterday, the post house connecting the Shendu in the east of Chang'an City had an unexpected gain, that is, another important member of the Dou family was discovered, that is, Dou Meiyu as Dou Qi said.
This beautiful jade is a word, and its real name is Dou Xixuan (jian), the grandson of Dou Dan, the prince of Xinguo, and the eldest brother of Dou Guifei in the Shendu City, that is, Li Longji's uncle. In terms of bloodline, this Dou Xixuan is a descendant of the Dou family who is even more upright than Dou Qi in front of him.
The reason why this Dou Xixuan was able to find this was because this guy was fighting with people in the Lantian County Post House, and he signed up for his own number, which was discovered by the old righteous disciples.
The battle was fierce, and it is said that two slaves were killed, and an official was needed. Dou Xixuan was detained in the Lantian Post House, and could only send his cronies to report to Xijing, this slave was naturally arrested by the old righteous disciples, and interrogated a lot of confidential information about the Dou family, including some private strongholds around Chang'an City.
With the information in hand, the next step is to test Li Tong's judgment, how to choose the exact place where Dou Qi will go among these locations. In fact, he set up eyes and ears around each stronghold, and he himself sat here, while Yang Xianzong led another group of daring warriors to ambush in the north of the city.
The reason why there is such an arrangement is because Li Tong found that in the confession of the Dou family slave, there was no content about Dou Qi's fake death at all.
In other words, Dou Qi faked his death to escape the world, and he made his own decisions, and the real person in charge of the Dou family in Shendu City did not know about this situation at all. Otherwise, no matter how stupid that Dou Xixuan is, he should not be fighting with others outside or even killing people at such a critical moment of family change.
The love and hatred of the wealthy family is nothing more than that. After learning this, Li Tong guessed that the reason why this Dou Qi wanted to fake his death was that the main thing to avoid was not himself, but Dou Xiying, who returned from Shendu City. If he wants to avoid Dou Xiying, then the manpower arranged in the south of the city should also be a cover, and his people are most likely to be thrown elsewhere, nothing more than in the west and north directions.
Outside the Grange just now, Dou Qi yelled out that Dou Meiyu betrayed him, which also confirmed Li Tong's conjecture and exposed the contradictions within the Dou family.
However, there are many twists and turns, Li Tong naturally won't say to Dou Qi, suffocate you!
"Capturing the souls of the dead is really exhausting. Since Dou Jun has entered the network, let's think about how to plan for himself. β
After dinner, fatigue was rising, and Li Tong was ready to rest.
Seeing this, Dou Qi was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Isn't the king curious, why didn't I go to Sichuan and go to Long?" β
"I'm not curious, so you don't say? You can't make it impossible for people to kill me, and we don't have a shallow grudge against each other. Now that I'm telling you many of my secrets, shouldn't you think about how to survive? β
After Li Tong heard this, he got up and clapped his hands and said, "Give you a night to think carefully, if you haven't figured out how to make a living tomorrow, then I'm sorry." I don't have time to send you to the void grave in Xianyang, so I can only expose you to the wilderness. If you think about it, you only have this one night. β
This Dou Qi is not lacking in shrewdness, and when dealing with such a person, he can't let him have a trace of luck and feel that there is something to coerce the other party. Because Li Tong himself is such a person, only by making him desperate can he squeeze out more things.
After saying this, he got up and left the room, and turned to the village to rest. Yang Siqiao lifted Dou Qi up again, tied him tightly to the pillars in the hall, and said in a condensed voice: "The dog thief dares to assassinate the king, tomorrow and here, he will definitely chop you to death!" β
After Dou Qi heard this, his expression was even more gloomy, and he may have been very annoyed in his heart, but no one listened to him, the lights in the hall were bright, and his eyes were sour and unbearable, but there was no trace of light that could leak into that desolate state of mind.
The words of the young king echoed in his mind over and over again, he naturally knew that this was not a lie, the many secrets of the young king he saw today, even if there was no previous grudge, it was not easy for him to save his life after knowing this.
