After getting the confession of Cao Bo and his wife, You Feng was overjoyed, and immediately launched an interrogation of Cao Bo and his wife and Zhao Hui and his party. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the beginning, the ancestors of the Zhao family wanted to train their two sons to inherit the family business, and never gave them the real power to manage the Zhao family. As a foreign surname, they are worried that once the second son of the Zhao family becomes an adult, they will have nothing. Therefore, he had a crooked idea, and when the two elders of the Zhao family were traveling, he hired bandits to kill them, thus taking over the property of the Zhao family. However, Mrs. Zhao Ying was quite clever and faintly aware of their plot, which made it difficult for the two of them to sleep, so she secretly poisoned her to death. The two children of the Zhao family grew up, looking at them, and they were worried that they would know everything against themselves in the future, anyway, killing one person is killing, killing two people is also killing, and a ruthless heart also killed the two of them...... Fire was used.

After committing a lot of crimes and occupying the Zhao family, Cao Bo and his wife were worried that someone would find out, so they came up with a good plan, as long as all the people in the county thought they were good people, they would not think of them as bad.

People are very hypocritical animals, and after Cao Bo and his wife became good people, they were loved and sought after by the people, and they unexpectedly liked this feeling, which was just like Du He thought. This good man's mask has been worn for a long time, and he wants to take it off, but he can't.

They have been good people for fifty years, and they have long forgotten the crimes they committed at the beginning, until Zhao Hui appeared, and they remembered that once upon a time, they did crazy things.

With the excitement of the incident, it caused a sensation throughout Longmen County.

Voices of disbelief and suspicion abounded, and it was not until they personally understood what had happened and confirmed that Cao Bo and his wife had personally admitted the crime that they dared to believe all the facts. But they all gathered at the gate of the mansion, hoping that You Feng would be given a light sentence.

No matter what the Cao Bo couple had in mind, it is undeniable that because of his help, tens of thousands of people have been blessed in the past 50 years, and no less than thousands of people have survived because of his relief, and almost the entire people of Longmen County have received the favor of the Cao family.

This has become a collision between law and emotion.

You Feng, as the county lieutenant, also felt very embarrassed, and didn't know how to judge.

In the end, Zhao replied, he listened to what Cao Bo and his wife had done in the past fifty years, and also pleaded with You Feng.

is the last person in the Zhao family, and this plea still carries a lot of weight. Cao Bo and his wife are pregnant with five murders, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, they should pay for their lives, and the descendants of the Zhao family will not be held responsible, although they cannot be exempted from the fault of Cao Bo and his wife, but they are also exempted from death.

Zhao Hui also said the only condition, hoping that they would continue and continue to do good.

Cao Zun and Cao Gui were very grateful to Zhao Hui, and they also retracted the complaint, exempting Zhao Hui from the charge of trespassing on a private house and deliberately killing people, and were acquitted.

The Cao family brothers were willing to hand over all the assets of the Cao family and return them to the Zhao family, but Zhao Hui refused, "I went back to the Central Plains just to fulfill my father's last wish, not to mention that you have been in business for more than 50 years and have rich experience, but I am not this material." Giving me the inheritance will only hasten the demise. Rather than that, it is better to continue to take care of it from you, so that you can give more relief to all those who need it. I, Zhao Hui, have hands and feet, a good man, and it is easy to support myself, so I don't need to use this thought. ”

"To have this kind of open-minded thought, it's not in vain that I tried my best to help!" Du He smiled and came to Zhao Hui's side, this was a public interrogation, he came to the palace early in the morning, and watched the interrogation process in his eyes. Looking at Cao Bo and his wife who knelt in the court and bowed their heads to confess their guilt, his heart was mixed, and he did not have the joy of victory as he imagined, and even a little confused: after inquiring about the news of the Cao family, he inevitably found out what the Cao family had done in the past 50 years.

Although Cao Bo and his wife committed unforgivable mistakes because of their greed for money back then, the Zhao family in Hedong was almost wiped out, but the good deeds in the past fifty years, even if they could not cover up his past mistakes, were enough to make Du He feel compassion.

He also doesn't know whether his approach is right or wrong, one side is the law, the other side is love, the two are like life and death enemies, incompatible.

At the time of this trial, Zhao Hui's willingness to put aside all grudges and intercede for Cao Bo and his wife was unexpected by Du He, and it also made him reacquaint himself with Zhao Hui.

"Lord Du......" Zhao Hui stepped forward to express his gratitude, he was able to get out of prison so easily, and he also knew how much Du He had contributed in this regard, "The Longmen matter has basically been resolved, and the day after tomorrow I will set off to the uninhabited island to get sweet potatoes for the adults." "He is the kind of person who repays the grace of a drop of water. Du He rescued him from prison, and he had a great kindness to him, and he couldn't repay him, and the only thing he had in his hand was sweet potatoes, so he couldn't wait to go to the uninhabited island to pick up the sweet potatoes he had stored on the isolated island for Du He.

Du He smiled happily and said: "It's good that Brother Zhao has this heart, but this matter is not in a hurry, I actually have other important matters to discuss with you this time." In his memory, the planting of sweet potatoes needs to look at the time, timely and early planting, under suitable conditions, the earlier the seedlings are planted, the longer the growth period, the early tubing, the more potatoes, the yield is high, and the quality is good; If the seedlings are planted too late, the growth period will be shortened, the sweet potatoes will be few and small, and the yield will be low and the quality will be poor. Therefore, generally speaking, the best time to plant sweet potatoes is mid-April, when the temperature warms up in early spring and is basically stable, which is the appropriate period for seedling planting.

It's only early March now, and there is still enough time to deal with the sweet potato matter, and there is no hurry, navigation is a major event related to the future economy of Datang.

Du He took Zhao Hui and Keelin Baker to a secluded place, and said to the two: "Before we get down to business, let me introduce you." In Xia Duhe, he is a person in the court, as for the position, it doesn't matter, anyway, you don't know about it, in short, it's not small, this time I came to you to seek talent for my Tang Dynasty. Our Datang intends to open up maritime trade, establish friendly exchanges and commercial channels with maritime countries, and develop economic and trade between the two countries. Because it is a new policy, some unavoidable problems have arisen in practical action. One of the most difficult things is the lack of experienced and seafaring captains. Just like the captain of your father when he crossed the sea, and your appearance just made up for this vacancy, I, Duhe, on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, hope that you can be the captain of my Datang Navigation Fleet, serve my Datang, and live up to your talents. As he spoke, he looked at it expectantly, whether Zhao Hui agreed or not was too important for Datang.

Zhao Hui was a little moved, he didn't know much about Datang, and he didn't have any thoughts loyal to Datang, but after living in Datang for a few months, he had already liked this place, liked the home in his father's mouth, and looked at people with the same face as himself, fully meaning that he was a Chinese person, and he had already had the idea of living in Datang.

It is not easy to live a life, it is not easy to buy a house and marry a wife, but it is the foundation of a foothold to find a good job.

Du He's invitation was undoubtedly to introduce him to a golden job bowl and become an official of the Tang Dynasty, so he naturally did not have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. What's more, sailing was his forte, and all he did was to get back to his old business, which was a breeze for him.

He didn't make up his own mind, but turned around and consulted with Keelingbeck for a while, speaking in their dialect and not knowing what to say, but finally agreed to Duho's request.

Zhao Hui doesn't promise easily, but as long as he agrees, he will do it without sparing.

Du He has not been in contact with him for a long time, but he also knows that he is a trustworthy person, but he has a heart in his heart.

The only one in the next place is Xue Rengui, and he doesn't feel troublesome about Xue Rengui Duhe.

Unlike Zhao Hui, Xue Rengui is the kind of person who is ambitious, wronged to be a farmer and a hunter at home, but because he has not encountered a chance to take off, as long as he is given a chance, he will soar into the sky like a rocket in the sky. He has a certain status in the army, and he has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command. Although he couldn't promote Xue Rengui to a position equal to his talent, he commanded the three armies. However, it is easy to give him a small school and give him a chance to rise through meritorious service.

took the time to come to Xue Rengui's house again, Xue Rengui did not go to the field to farm today, but stayed at home sullenly. He grew up in Longmen County since he was a child, and when he was not yet an adult and his life could not be sustained, he was relieved by Cao Bo and his wife more than once, and he had great kindness to the Cao family in his heart. Du He asked him for help, if it was an ordinary person, he would definitely veto, but the person who came was Du He, although he didn't know Du He's identity, but from that talk about martial arts and knowledge, he still saw that this person was not an idle person, if he was prejudiced against the Cao family, it was easy to cause an unjust case, and Cao Bo and his wife would be harmed, so they agreed. With his original idea, it was to prove the innocence of Cao Bo and his wife, but when he arrived at Cao's house, he unexpectedly saw some clues from Cao Bo and his wife, and then proved that Cao Bo and his wife had indeed committed murder.

Xue Rengui felt sorry for the Cao family in his heart, he was very depressed, and he didn't even go to the verdict that caused a sensation in the whole county, and when he saw Du He coming to the door again, he smiled awkwardly and asked about the situation of Cao Bo and his wife.

Du He knew what he wanted, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry! As a result of Zhao Hui's intercession, Cao Bo and his wife have been exempted from the death penalty. Although their sins are unforgivable, these 50 years of good deeds have saved their lives. ”

Xue Rengui also breathed a sigh of relief, five lives, this kind of punishment is already an extrajudicial mercy.

Du He immediately smiled and said: "Brother Xue, you only know my surname Du, but you don't know my full name!" My name is Duhe, Chang'an Duhe! ”

Xue Rengui knew that Du He's identity was not simple, but when he heard the word "Du He", he couldn't help but exclaim: Du He's name has already spread all over the world, and his achievements and positions that do not match his age have a pivotal position in the hearts of those aspiring generals, and he is a role model for them.

"Duhe? Zuo Weiwei General Du Qinglian? ”
