Chapter 4: Dou Tianzhang's distress

"It's a big rebellion, there are such rebellious people in the world!" Holding a dossier he had just seen in his hand, Dou Tianzhang angrily smashed the jade seal in his hand on his hand, and his little thumb even trembled slightly.

The dignified prefect of a state, the official of the imperial court of the fourth grade, is in charge of the affairs of a state, such an important official, was actually cut off by an executioner on the execution ground, and died like this.

This made Dou Tianzhang feel a trace of fear while being extremely angry, even if he himself was a dignified governor of Zhongshu Province, plus Lianghuai was a criminal and honest envoy, and he was in charge of the criminal prison affairs in the entire Lianghuai region, he also felt quite chilled.

After all, even if he becomes a political minister in Pingzhang in the future, a dignified first-class officer, then under the executioner's knife, it is just a matter of a knife.

I have struggled for half of my body, 30 years of talent, 16 years of fame, and in the end, it is a vastness, who can bear it!

If he could, Dou Tianzhang would like to increase the punishment of this chopstick-hand tenfold, so as to warn the world that he would not dare to let other chopstick-bearers have such dissenting intentions.

However, this executioner is an orphan who has nothing, it is said that he grew up eating hundreds of meals, and he has brute strength to become an executioner in official uniform.

So this guy is just dead at most, and if he wants to add another strain, he can't even commit crimes like the Nine Clans.

"But this Dou E must also be killed, although she has been wronged a little, but she must die, not dying is not enough to see and hear the truth!" Dou Tianzhang looked at the words on the dossier and pondered. As the case of Dou E that caused this incident, Dou E's own file was naturally sent together.

And Dou Tianzhang has worked in the Criminal Department for 16 years and has rich experience in sentencing, so Dou E's file Dou Tianzhang only glanced at it, and found that it was full of mistakes and omissions.

As a result, it only took two days to directly conclude the case and sentence Dou E to behead him, there are no ghosts in it.

But although Dou Tianzhang found out at a glance that this Dou E was wronged, he had no intention of avenging the other party.

It's not that Dou Tianzhang was cruel, or that he also accepted money from Zhang Donkey, in fact, under normal circumstances, Dou Tianzhang would definitely thoroughly investigate this unjust case and return heaven and earth to justice.

But the problem is that because a prefect died in this case, and he was beheaded in full view of everyone on the execution ground, then Dou E must die.

First of all, if you look at this file, you will know that this executioner and Dou E must have secretly had an adulterous relationship, otherwise he would never be willing to kill the prefect in exchange for his life.

Its purpose must be to avenge Dou E's grievances, so that Dou E can avoid death!

This reason is certainly heroic and worthy of admiration. But think about it, if anyone wants to avenge their grievances in the future, they will learn from this executioner and directly behead the prefect, wouldn't the world be chaotic, and can this official still enjoy life with peace of mind?

So not only must this executioner die, but the cause of Dou E's incident must also die, he just wants to use this case to tell everyone that if he wants to avenge his grievances, he will go to the yamen and kneel, and use his dignity in exchange for the mercy of the master, instead of wanting to kill the master in a rebellious way, so is there still a royal law in this world?

If anyone dares to have such a mind, then no matter who they want to avenge for them, they must die, even if they are wronged, they must die, so that the hearts of the corporal of the world can be appeased, and the heart of the world will be reassured.

As long as the scholars are stable, then the world will naturally be stable.

"Hey, the old man is so wise and powerful, but he doesn't want to end up without even a child, isn't this jealousy?" Dou Tianzhang suddenly became a little sad again.

This Dou Tianzhang's wife died early, but after becoming an official, he continued to have a wife, but he also died after three or four years of work. After marrying three wives one after another, all of them died early, and there was constant discussion in the market, in order not to affect his career, Dou Tianzhang simply did not marry a wife.

However, in the past 16 years, Dou Tianzhang has accepted more than 20 concubines alone, all of whom are women in their twenties and eight years old, with a big butt and a good birth. But as a result, none of them were born.

Later, I asked the imperial doctor to see the pulse and found out that because I was too bitter when I was studying, I had already hurt my vitality, so I am afraid that I will not be able to have children in this life.

This made Dou Tianzhang very devastated, after all, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest.

But soon, Dou Tianzhang still walked out of the haze, turned grief and anger into strength, and kept reviewing various files, wanting to use work to numb himself.

didn't come to fruition, but instead won a reputation of Dou Qingtian.

Even the crown prince knew that later the prince ascended the throne and gave amnesty to the world at the same time and promoted several courtiers, including this Dou Tianzhang, who was promoted from the criminal department to the criminal department, and also added the title of governor of Zhongshu Province, and added the post of Lianghuai to the post of criminal and honest envoy, and began to clean up the accumulation of unjust cases in the entire Lianghuai region.

But this matter of Wuhou has always been a thorn in Dou Tianzhang's heart, and he can't pull it out!

Just when Dou Tianzhang was thinking about how to solve the case, and at the same time being compassionate, an old slave walked in and said, "Master, there is a soldier outside the door who wants to see you?" ”

"Soldier? Such a lowly person is also worthy to see me, and he will blast me out directly! Dou Tianzhang said upset.

"Master, this person is the family member of the commander of Chuzhou, and he said that he was ordered by the commander of their family, and he had something important to inform!" The old slave said.

"From Chuzhou? Could it be that this case is a matter of this case, and there is something strange in it! Dou Tianzhang's heart moved, and he decided to see him. But when he thought of something, he immediately ordered the old slave to call more than a dozen family members, and then invited the head of the family to come over and protect him, so that the soldier was called.

"Villains join adults!" As soon as the soldiers met, they knelt down and kowtowed in fear.

"What's the matter with your commander?" Dou Tianzhang asked with a frown.

"Yes, my family commander asked the villain to ask you, adults can know a little lady named Dou E!" The soldier said respectfully.

"How could I know such a vicious woman who poisoned her father-in-law!" Dou Tianzhang said angrily, and then he was ready to let people drive this soldier out.

Unexpectedly, the soldier continued, "By the way, my family commander also said that this Dou E was not originally called by this name, but was originally called Dou Duanyun!" ”

"What!" At this moment, Dou Tianzhang's whole soul seemed to be coming out of his body, and he was shocked and incomparable, because his only bloodline and flesh was called Dou Duanyun!

"You're talking nonsense!" Dou Tianzhang didn't care about any posture, he rushed down directly, grabbed the soldier's clothes and asked, and the surrounding family members hurriedly surrounded him nervously to protect his master!

"Yes, the commander instructed the villain, if you know such a little lady, let the villain give this letter to the adult!" The soldier hurriedly took out a letter from his arms, Dou Tianzhang tore it open and looked at it, and found that the letter was written by the Chuzhou commander himself.

According to the letter, after he imprisoned Zhang Ruofei and Dou E, he accidentally learned that Dou E's father was actually called Dou Tianzhang, and he happened to have the same name as the two Huai envoys. In addition, Chuzhou happened to be the adult's hometown, so he interrogated her life experience from Dou E's mouth.

It turns out that her milk name is indeed called Dou Duanyun, her father is indeed called Dou Tianzhang, and her ancestral home is Jingzhao. Dou Tianzhang is a showman, because he owed Granny Cai 20 taels of silver and was unable to repay, so he sold Dou Duanyun to Granny Cai as a child daughter-in-law at a price of 40 taels with interest.

In addition, he also got an extra ten taels of silver, which he could use to go to Beijing to take the exam.

So this Dou E lived with Granny Cai, and only a few months later she moved from Chuzhou City to Shanyang County.

After that, Granny Cai disliked the name Dou Duanyun too twisted, so she changed her name to Dou E, and since then she has lived in Shanyang County for 16 years until the case was discovered.

"Child, it's really my Duan Yun child, my child!" Dou Tianzhang suddenly rolled his eyes, and the whole person fainted directly, and everyone was in a hurry!
