Chapter 669: The Dong Family's Murder Massacre
Although the Dong family in Quanzhou is known as Dong Bancheng, the Dong family's mansion is not in the city, but is built not far from the port of Quanzhou, so that it is also convenient for the Dong family to go to the wharf to receive goods, after all, the Dong family's business is too big, sometimes the entire port is almost ordinary ships have a bright or dark relationship with their family, and there are hundreds of ships directly under their family alone.
Dong Qing began to contact the family's business since he was a child, and when he was twenty-four years old, nearly half of the family's business was handed over to him to take care of, and he also got married, with a gentle and beautiful wife and a pair of children, it can be said that the family business is proud, even if Quanzhou Zhizhou sees him, he must be courteous.
However, just four years ago during the Spring Festival, the Dong family gathered in the Dong family mansion to prepare for the New Year, and because of the New Year, most of the people in the family were on vacation, but what the Dong family did not expect was that on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, a group of masked thieves suddenly killed the Dong family, and the other party killed people when they saw them, obviously not for money, and finally all 57 people in the Dong family were killed, and then the thieves set a fire and burned the entire Dong family mansion.
At that time, the villain was slashed three times, and the knives were all at the point, the villain thought that he was dead, but he didn't expect to be carried out of the fire by a loyal servant next to him, and then absconded to a fishing village by the sea to recuperate, and finally fell into a coma for a few days before picking up a life, but ...... But ......"
Dong Qing also tore off his clothes when he said this, revealing several knife wounds on his chest, and continued with hoarse voices and tears: "But when the villain woke up, he wanted to find the murderer to avenge his family, but he found that our Dong family's business was quickly swallowed up, and all the businesses at sea changed hands in just a few days, and the government did not intervene at all. ”
"What a guts!" Li Zhang's face was also angry when he heard this, and he said angrily, although the security of the Great Song Dynasty cannot be compared with that of later generations, but the human life lawsuit is still not a trivial matter, not to mention this kind of lawsuit that has killed dozens of people, ordinary officials can't cover it at all, unless there is a great power behind the other party.
"Later, the villain recovered from his injuries, so he quietly asked someone to inquire, and sure enough, as I expected, such a big tragedy happened in my family, but the government only closed the case with an accidental fire, and the case was not filed at all, and my family's business was all divided by a group of Hu businessmen from the Western Regions, and I can be sure that the people who killed my whole family were these Hu businessmen!" When Dong Qing said this, he also showed a hideous expression on his face, as if he thought of the tragic situation of his family being killed again.
"Hu Shang? Are there many Hu merchants in Quanzhou, how can they have such a big force and swallow up your Dong family's property all at once? When Li Zhang heard this, he suddenly asked, originally he was not very interested in this case, mainly because he wanted to ask Dong Qing about something, and then hand over his case to others, but now that he heard that this case was related to Hu Shang, his interest was also raised all of a sudden.
Dong Qing, who was originally very sad and angry, was also stunned when he heard Li Zhang's question, but he immediately replied: "Quanzhou is a big port second only to Guangzhou, many merchants from the Western Regions and the South Seas will go to Quanzhou to do business, many have settled in Quanzhou since the Tang Dynasty, they are mainly engaged in maritime trade business, and we are rivals, but it is far less big than the business of my Dong family, but I didn't expect them to destroy our Dong family in a frenzy!" ”
"Why are you so sure of those Hu Shang's hands?" Li Zhang pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then asked again.
I saw Dong Qing said excitedly again at this time: "When the villain was cut by the thief that day, I once heard the thief say the big food language, although the villain's business was destroyed, but there is still a little power and relationship left, it is through these forces and relationships that I also found a few big cannibals who may have participated in the destruction of my family, and then I secretly caught a few tortures to extract confessions, and finally pried open a person's mouth, and the other party admitted that it was a few Hu businessmen who divided my family's business who instructed them, and I also forced him to write a blood book!" ”
Dong Qing also took out a blood book from his arms and presented it to Li Zhang: "After obtaining this blood book, the news that I am still alive has also been leaked, so I have been chased and killed countless times, and the people around me have also been killed and injured. ”
Li Zhang took the blood book and looked at it at this time, and found that it was indeed a confession written in blood, explaining how this person and dozens of other people destroyed the Dong family, as well as several masterminds behind it, but the handwriting of the blood book was sloppy and ugly, and there were characters of big food in some places, obviously the other party's Chinese character writing was very average.
After reading this blood book, Li Zhang's face also showed a mysterious smile, because he found that his luck was really good, and he actually had a pillow sent by someone when he was sleepy, and he was in charge of this case!
"By the way, there are so many officials in the capital, why did you come to stop my carriage?" Li Zhang suddenly asked again at this time.
Hearing Li Zhang's question, Dong Qing showed a sad and indignant expression again, but then turned helplessly and said: "Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, the villain has been in the capital for several months, and he was kicked out by someone when he went to Dengwen Drum Courtyard before, and the villain has long been penniless, all the way to the capital by begging, and there is no place to stay in the capital, so he can only wander around begging, by the way, he also inquired about the news of the capital, and wanted to find another way to redress his family's grievances, so he heard that he stopped the official's carriage and shouted grievances. ”
When he said this, he saw Dong Qing pause for a moment, and then said again: "The villain first wanted to stop Lu Xianggong's carriage, but he couldn't get close at all, and then he wanted to stop the carriage of several other Xianggong, but either he couldn't get close, or he didn't pay attention to it at all, until a few days ago I heard that Dingbei Hou is His Majesty's cousin and is deeply trusted by His Majesty, so I thought of stopping your carriage, and the villain has been guarding near your mansion gate since five days ago, and he finally found an opportunity until today!" ”
Li Zhang couldn't help but smile helplessly when he heard this, it turned out that this Dong Qing first went to stop the carriage of Lu Yijian and others, and only ran to stop his carriage when he didn't succeed, but he was lucky to find himself, otherwise others might not be able to help him redress his grievances.
