Chapter 120: Empty Eyes

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Xu Muchen was irrefutable, and Chen Guan, who finally had enough incriminating evidence, couldn't wait, and didn't want to entangle with him at all, Ding Hao quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

His plan was actually after analyzing the purpose of the characters from all walks of life, and when he heard Luo Dong'er talk about Liu Shiyi's framing of them and letting the two brothers Wang Yu and Wang Yi play a trick to protect themselves. The inspiration for the specific operation came from a Hong Kong movie "A Thousand Kings" he had watched. In that movie, there is a trickster Wang Shangqian, when he gambles with someone, he writes a check bet with squid ink, but the other party verifies that the check is correct, and then when he goes to the bank to transfer money, he finds that the check is blank.

At that time, after reading this plot, he was very curious, and it happened that there were people selling aquatic products in the morning market in his community, so he went to get two squid fish that had not been cleaned up, and scribbled a few words on the paper with squid ink for experimentation, and found that the words would indeed disappear. It turns out that the melanin contained in the "ink" made by the squid is a combination of indoquinone and protein, which will be decomposed and completely disappeared after a long time, but the time of disappearance is not as fast as that staged in the movie, affected by temperature and humidity, the words written in squid ink disappear quickly and slowly, ranging from a few days to more than ten days.

If he really wants to check Xu Muchen's account, it is impossible. Xu Muchen is proficient in accounts and meticulous, and the accounts he made with his own hands are said to be Ding Hao's two-handed audit skills, even if Ding Hao is an audit master, he can't imagine that he can find out Xu Muchen's flaws. What's more, the entire pig's head depot has now almost become Xu Muchen's private world, up and down is full of his ears, eyes and henchmen, Ding Hao came single-handedly, and there are people everywhere to control elbows, except for the account book with vague records, there is no help, what to use to find Xu Muchen's handle?

But what did the Zhao Xianggong in the court want? It's just evidence of Governor Liu's crime, and it looks like he won't give up until he reaches his goal. What does the Ding family want? It's just to protect the Ding family, so as not to be implicated by Governor Liu's mansion. That Xu Muchen was originally a cunning rat, and he deserved it. Ding Hao asked himself if he was not a big man in the sky, why did he spend manpower and material resources and protracted to find out his real credentials, but if he made the thunderbolt smash his heart to achieve the goal, it would be done. So he remembered this squid, and with this squid ink, I can't check your secret account, and I will give false testimony...... It's still possible.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Ding Hao is like removing a big stone from his shoulder, and he is suddenly relaxed.

The family of Ding Mansion didn't expect that today's case would be tried so happily, and no one could catch him by the slippery and loach-like shopkeeper Xu, and now he is so confused that he has put all the evidence on himself, and he doesn't even have room to confess. At that moment, two families rushed out of the crowd, jumped on horseback, and rushed back to Dingfu to report the news.

Things have changed so much, and some of the people who watched the trial at the Yamen turned their heads and secretly admired: Xu Muchen is really a true man with iron shoulders and morality, and his loyalty and righteousness are unparalleled! I didn't expect him to be so ruthless, in order to keep his owner, he actually took on the big crime.

Chen Guan asked the scribe to bring the transcript of the interrogation in front of Xu Muchen, forced him to press his handprint in public, and then slapped the shocking wood, and with a "snap", the shocking wood was unbearable and fell apart. Chen Guan frowned and said: "It's not just the government office that has fallen into disrepair in Bazhou Mansion, this is shocking...... Cough! It's long overdue. ”

Hiding his embarrassment, Chen Guanzhi announced proudly: "Come on, put the criminal Xu Muchen in prison for the time being to listen to the verdict and retire!" ”

Xu Muchen knelt there, as if he was in a dream at this time. When the government caught fire and all the account books were burned, he was overjoyed when he got the news, only saying that he had passed the catastrophe because of the fire, and he was still regretting the burning of the fire in his heart.

How can I think that over the years, I have used the wealth of the Ding family to make friends with the government, and in turn used the government to hold the Ding family hostage, left and right, and profited from it, the officials and the owner have become pawns at his mercy, every time I think of it, I am still a little complacent about my own means, at this moment he suddenly realized that he is actually nothing, and the person he regards as a chess piece has real power, and he is playing with fire.

In the blink of an eye, success changed from failure, gain changed from loss, and the eyes were full of empty flowers and illusory. Everything I have been pursuing for decades has come to naught. In the past, thinking about it now, that kind of self-righteous conspiracy is like licking honey on the blade, less than the beauty of a meal, and the disease of cutting the tongue is born. Thinking of this, Xu Muchen was speechless......

Chen observed and retreated, and the two officials immediately dragged up Xu Muchen, who was gray, Xu Muchen's face was red, like a ghost, looking at Ding Hao who was standing on the side, full of bitterness and scheming all his life, and finally only turned into a mouthful of blood, spurting out ......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ the back house of Ding's mansion, Ding Chengzong pushed the wooden wheel chair, moved nervously in the courtyard, looked up at the sky from time to time, and his always quiet expression was a little anxious at this time, and he rarely had such a breathless time.

Ever since he learned that Granny Liu had successfully burned down the courtyard in the west of the mansion, he knew that the big thing had become eight points, but he was in the Ding Mansion, and now the lawsuit was tried to what extent, he didn't know at all, and his mood was inevitably irritated, and he just hoped that someone would send the news back soon.

Early in the morning, he was immersed in reading the "Myoho-renge-kyo" in his study, so that no one would disturb him. But he was restless, how could he read this scripture? Later, I had to throw the scriptures aside, push the cart alone, go down the steps that had been paved with wooden boards, wander alone in the garden, listen to the wind and birds, and the anxiety in my heart was relieved.

Suddenly, he saw the maid Lan'er appear under a flower tree in the distance, sneakily looking left and right, tiptoeing through the flowers. Ding Chengzong was suspicious, opened his mouth to call her, thought about it, but stopped talking, pushed the wheel and quietly followed.

His mansion, the path in the garden is naturally familiar to him, although he is not as flexible as Nalan'er in a wheeled car, but he can still keep up. Turning a rockery, he suddenly lost the trace of Lan'er, Ding Chengzong looked around, and suddenly found that a corner of the skirt was exposed behind the banana tree in front of him, and the pomegranate-colored skirt was exactly the skirt that the lady liked to wear. This is his private house, except for the lady, there are only a few waiting people, the next person will not wear such expensive jacquard embroidered clothes, what is the lady doing here alone?

Ding Chengzong was even more puzzled in his heart, so he carefully pushed the wheels and slowly drove forward. The oiled axle rolled silently, and when he got closer, he heard the hurried voice of his wife from behind the tree: "You are crazy, what are you doing here?" ”

Ding Chengzong was suspicious, grabbed the wheel with both hands, and wanted to rush over to see what was going on, when another person's voice sounded, as soon as he heard this person's voice, it was like a thunderbolt sounding in his chest, Ding Chengzong's blood and qi were surging, and his ear drums were buzzing, as if he had been hit by the method of fixation, and he couldn't move anymore.

After a long time, his wandering soul was possessed, and he listened to the man behind the tree: "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few days, my brother really misses me tightly, you just leave me, just do a little warmth, comfort the lovesickness, and the brother will leave." Listening to that voice, it was really his brother Ding Chengye.

Lu Xiangwu said lightly: "What is it like in this broad daylight, you and I disregard human ethics and go on a blind date, I am already sorry for him, do you still have to do that kind of thing during the day?" You...... Where do you have the meaning of respecting me and loving me, wrongdoer, do you tease others like fans? ”

Ding Chengye smiled and said: "If I don't respect you and love you, how can my brother come to you at this hour?" The eldest brother is now unable to move, what are you afraid of him, what is he doing now? ”

"It's not for your Ding family's case, I got up early in the morning and had a lot of worries, and now I'm reading the Bible in the study."

Ding Chengye said happily: "This is exactly the day to make fun, the eldest brother is now a monk-like figure, brother I have no patience to read the scriptures, my good sister-in-law, this little monk under my brother also wants the female Bodhisattva to personally ignite the dot, sister-in-law don't delay, let's participate in this joy Zen." ”

There was a soft cry of "ouch" from behind the tree, followed by the sound of tongue smacking, only to hear Lu Xiang's dancing and shouting, and then even the banana tree shook.

Ding Chengzong's Venus was popping up in front of him, his temples were jumping suddenly, he gritted his teeth, pushed the car hard, turned the tree, and saw his own lady bending down to support a small green tree next to the plantain, the green silk was scattered, the apricot eyes were slightly narrowed, and the clothes were half faded, and the pair of white and transparent breasts were swaying in the loose placket.

His own brother Ding Chengye lifted her skirt, her crotch was tightly pressed against the back of her buttocks, a pair of hands were caressing her arms, and she smiled with a salivating face: "Sister-in-law was born well, fragrant and slippery, I really love my brother!" ”

"You...... You guys...... Good done! Ding Chengzong pointed at them, his lips trembled, his arms trembled, the Venus in front of him dragged and flew, and the ugly appearance of the two seemed to be floating in the sky.

Flaubert once said an unbreakable truth: 'The cuckold husband is always the last to know.' Ding Chengzong is exactly like this, the businessman values profit over separation, he knows that he really snubbed this wife for the sake of the family, but he asked himself that all the hard work he paid was for this family and for her. Why...... Why is she so unwilling to be lonely? What is especially sad is that she did such an unethical thing with her uncle. Love turned into hate, relatives became hatred, Ding Chengzong's heart was like a knife, and the tiger eyes were full of tears unconsciously.

As soon as Lu Xiangwu and Ding Chengye saw him appear, they were shocked and exclaimed, they jumped away, and put on their corsets, Ding Chengzong saw the two of them look so ugly, and said with tears in his eyes: "My good lady, my good brother, hello, you are good......

Ding Chengzong laughed miserably, and the whole person rolled down from the chair, his face was pale, his teeth were tightly closed, and he was no longer unconscious.

"Chengye, I...... I'm so scared of ......, he ...... How is he? Lu Xiangwu was so shocked that he was tightly in Ding Chengye's arms, and if he hadn't pulled his shirt, he would almost not be able to stand.

Ding Chengye's heart was like a drum, although according to Yan Jiu's idea today, he intended to let Ding Chengzong bump into him and stimulate him to have a seizure, but he didn't know the root cause of the effect of the strange medicine that Yan Jiu had repeatedly promised, so he was also scared. He had no choice but to calm down, patted Lu Xiangwu's fragrant shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, everything has been done, what else can you do?" You listen to me, go back quickly, you must be calm, don't show any horses, everything here is left to me, just do it properly, and we can stay together for a long time from now on. You go quickly, go back quickly. ”

Lu Xiang's heart was like a deer, and he didn't dare to look at Ding Chengzong anymore in shame, so he lifted his skirt and fled in a panic. Ding Chengye hurried to Ding Chengzong's side, tried his snort, and then opened his eyelids to look at his pupils, then looked left and right, and walked away...... As soon as Ding Chengye left, a bush separated, and she walked out of Lan'er lightly and skillfully, she looked at Ding Chengye's back in a panic and smacked disdainfully, and then pretended to be panicked, and opened her mouth and shouted: "Come on, come on, come on, the eldest young master, he ...... He's unconscious......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ dispersed the court trial, and the three classes of officials went down to the court, and many visitors under the government also dispersed in a hurry. The scimitar Xiaoliu jumped in the crowd and shouted: "Big brother, we are here, here, today the brothers are the east, let's go to the Weaving Bridge Restaurant to play." ”

Ding Hao smiled and was about to walk over, but County Lieutenant Zhao had already caught up and said, "Brother Ding, stay and go to one of the official rooms." ”

Ding Hao heard this, so he had to make a gesture to the scimitar Xiaoliu, and then walked to the side with the county lieutenant Zhao, and Tie Niu shouted in a loud voice: "Brother Ding Hao, we are waiting for you in the Zhiqiao Restaurant, and we will come as soon as possible after finishing our business." ”

Ding Hao raised his hand, and disappeared as County Lieutenant Zhao turned around the corner, and asked worriedly: "It's okay to eat big brother's wine, but we want to celebrate the big brother, do we have money in our pockets?" ”

The scimitar Xiaoliu took out ten big coins from his arms, checked them in his hand and said, "Isn't this money?" ”

The big head said with a worried look on his face: "Ten money, can you eat a table of wine?" ”

The scimitar Xiaoliu smiled: "It's just the capital, the eldest brother was left behind, just convenient for us to act, go, get money for wine." The three brothers left the palace in a hurry.

Ding Hao arrived at the county lieutenant Zhao's room, and the county lieutenant Zhao personally poured a cup of tea for him, and said with a smile: "Sit down, brother, brother has heard, seen, and handled many cases over the years, but I just can't guess your methods, it's really amazing." ”

Ding Hao said with a smile: "This is just a small skill of carving insects, something that is on the side of the door, it can work wonders once or twice, it can't stand the big scene, if you really want to talk about it, you have to be upright to do big things, and it can't be done by relying on this kind of small trick that is not on the stage." ”

County Lieutenant Zhao laughed and said: "Brother is too modest, and it is a great skill to be able to successfully conclude this case." Don't say much for my brother, let's get straight to the point, I still want you to come to my side to do things, if you are willing to come, I will immediately appoint you a messenger, what does Brother Ding think? ”

Ding Hao only smiled bitterly when he heard it, when no one cared about him before, it was just like having no desire to be rigid, and he was only thinking towards the predetermined goal, but there was no hindrance. Now, General Cheng has repeatedly expressed his appreciation, and in his capacity, he can do this part, which is already an attitude of trying his best to solicit. Zhao County's lieutenant here can be called a three-way thatched house. And the Ding family, the Ding family that originally made him disdainful, the eldest prince of Ding moved with affection, knew with reason, and the lord and favored him, in order to let him stay with peace of mind, he actually did something that the great sages of the ancients did to leave the Ding family and "exile" themselves. Ding Hao is not hard-hearted, how can he not be moved?

The time to integrate into this world may not be very long, but Ding Hao, who values love and righteousness, unconsciously accepted some of the content of the ancients' thoughts and values, and those things that were abandoned by future generations along with the dross. The eldest husband has clear grievances, no matter what, he has to have a clear explanation to Ding Chengzong before he can make a decision.

Thinking of this, Ding Hao said euphemistically: "Ding Hao has an old lady, and Ding Dagongzi appreciates and respects, so I really can't make a choice for a while. In Xu Muchen's case, Lord Zhao should be the first to take credit. If nothing else, the Zhao Xianggong in Bianjing City must have said something, you might as well wait for Lord Zhao to stop, how about we discuss it again? ”

Hearing that his tone this time was not as decisive as the previous time, County Lieutenant Zhao said happily: "Okay, then you must think about it when you go back, and when you have a decision, no matter when, just come to me." ”

Ding Hao responded, the two talked for a while, Ding Hao got up to say goodbye, Zhao County Lieutenant sent out the door, and a government official rushed to say: "County Lieutenant Master, please observe the adult." ”

Ding Hao smiled and arched his hand: "My lord, please stay, Ding Hao will leave." Hehe, Ding Hao congratulates you in advance......"

County Lieutenant Zhao smiled happily, this Ding Hao is really a wonderful person, and he is scratching his itch. In gratitude, he didn't care about observing that the adults were waiting, but still sent Ding Hao out of the mansion, and then turned around to see Chen for observation. Chen Observation saw that Zhao County Lieutenant was a good compliment, and Zhao County Lieutenant was also an old oilman who had been in the officialdom for 20 years, and he was very good, and the first merit of overall planning and scheduling and guidance and arrangement was naturally pushed to Chen Guan. Chen observed Dayue, Zhao County Lieutenant was witty and sophisticated, and he was a cunning man, and he made great contributions. deserves to be rewarded, and after returning to Bianliang, he promised Zhao Xianggong's guarantee.

Zhao Xianggong is in front of the official family, that is a very good figure, most of the officials in the DPRK and China, most of them are recommended by him, it is said that sometimes the official family has a bad temper, or the appointment and dismissal of a certain official is not in line with the official family's wishes, so Zhao Xianggong's letter of recommendation will be returned. Zhao Xianggong was not annoyed, and he followed him like kraft candy and still blindly recommended him. If the official family is angry and throws away the recommendation book, Zhao Xianggong will go to pick it up, the official family will tear the recommendation book to pieces, Zhao Xianggong will go to re-glue it, and the next morning, the recommendation letter will appear on the official desk again, and the official family will be tortured by no way, so he has to allow it. is a person recommended by Zhao Xianggong, who is really sure to be promoted. Chen observed that his official ten ** were promoted.

The two complimented each other, Chen Zhi won the first credit, and Zhao County Lieutenant got his recommendation, both sides were satisfied, and the two officials couldn't help but laugh......
