Seeing that Dou Taoshou was silent, Gao Buer scolded the old fox in his heart, and said loudly: "The facts of the Dou family's crime are clear, according to my Tang Dynasty law, we should raid the family and exterminate the clan, but this matter still needs to be judged by the court by law, come and come!" ”

Immediately, a servant came in to obey the order.

Gao Buer said: "Escort the six people who are in charge of the Dou family to the capital and hand them over to the Criminal Department for processing, Dou Zhong will pull out of the mansion to show the public for two days, and there is no need to report to the division again, and the decision will be made!" ”

With a wave of Gao Buer's hand, everyone in the Dou family was escorted to the prisoner's car by the officials and sent to the capital with the case file. Dou Zhong was horrified when he heard that he was sentenced to death in court, and Gao Buer no longer paid attention to him, after all, his matter was what Gao Buer saw with his own eyes, and the facts were clear, and sending him to the capital for retrial was just a waste of time, and it was better to clean up the people's hearts without executing them locally.

The Dou family was taken out of the hall, and Gao Buer said to the officials standing in the hall: "The Dou family has done evil and harmed the township for not a day or two. ”

The officials knelt down together and pleaded guilty.

"This king also knows that you are in the way, but this king, who is in cahoots with the Dou family, will give you two days to surrender, otherwise when this king finds out, he will be punished twice, don't take chances, Dou Zhongke is still there, during the public demonstration, this king will send the Xuanjia army to protect him, you can do it yourself."

"Yes!"

"Wu County Assassin Dou Gaozhuo, from now on step down as Wu County Assassin History, this matter will be temporarily returned to Yangzhou with the king, waiting for the imperial court to fall, and the post of Assassin will be temporarily represented by Changshi."

Dou Gaozhuo and Magistrate Wu received the order in the past.

"Huqiu County Order can not be afraid of power, dare to be the master of the people, this king will give it a chapter to show merit, this year's assessment is excellent, from the heavy award, I hope you take it as an example, good students to perform their duties."

All the officials shouted in unison for orders.

The officials came out of the Assassin's Mansion and saw Dou Zhong who was tied up in the square to show the public, and they slapped their palms frankly in their hearts, and those who were related to the Dou family were panicked, after all, their future was now in the hands of this goods, if he could resist it, it would be fine, if he couldn't bear it, I was afraid that it would be over.

When the officials returned to their residences, some of them came to the assassination mansion to surrender themselves one day in a panic, some of them dragged themselves to the end, and some of them did not surrender because they were lucky, and in the end they were all confessed by Dou Zhong, who could not bear the torture.

Gao Buer, who surrendered himself, was fined silver and dismissed according to the situation according to the preface, and was sentenced to exile by Dou Zhong except for the officials who had murder cases in their hands, and those who had murder cases were sentenced to be executed immediately and reported to the imperial court for approval.

Gao Buer abbreviated the case into an easy-to-read official document and reported it to the imperial court, suggesting that the imperial court spread the case to the world to set an example, and suggested that in the future, whenever there was such a case of oppression of the people by the emperor's relatives or the township bullies, the magistrate could report to the imperial court or the Yangzhou Zhou palace for handling.

The head of the Dou family was escorted to Chang'an, and the file was presented to Menxia Province by the Criminal Department, and Du Ruhui, who was on duty, saw that the case was personally tried by King Zhou, and there was also a Wang seal, so he did not suggest that the three divisions should be tried, and submitted it directly to the emperor for approval.

Li Er carefully read the dossier, and sneered in his heart, these heirlooms have been inherited for a long time, and their descendants are flourishing, and they often don't take the imperial court's edicts in their eyes.

Now that his Dou family has crashed in, although he is an uncle and cousin, he has to give way compared to the imperial power. Immediately, Zhu pen waved: "The six heads of the Dou family are decided, the three clans, the female dependents and the male under the age of six are assigned to Lingnan, Wu County Assassin Dou Gao Zhuo sees that the matter is unknown, and there is a suspicion of covering up, but he is not deeply implicated, and he is not a person from the Dou family of Wu County, and the official is demoted to three levels to listen to the appointment." The order of Huqiu County was able to defy power and make decisions for the people, and was exceptionally promoted to Hu Cao of Wu County, and the history of the head of Wu County was increased to the history of assassination, and the long history was assigned by the Ministry of Officials. ”

Writing this, Li Er paused and thought for a long time before continuing to criticize: "The Criminal Department will spread the Dou case to the world, and at the same time publish it in the Datang periodicals. If such a thing happens in the local area, the local government has the responsibility to report the matter to the king of Zhou for full disposal. ”

Li Er finished writing the instructions and asked the chamberlain to show them to Du Ruhui, who read them and had no objections.

Li Er saw that Du Ruhui did not raise any objections and said: "You can order the world to be proclaimed, and the person in charge of the Dou family will be sentenced at three o'clock at noon tomorrow." ”

Du Ruhui bowed down and withdrew from the main hall and acted according to Li Er's instructions.

That night, many important ministers who were married or implicated in the Dou family entered the palace to ask to see the emperor, but they were all rejected by Li Eryi.

Empress Eldest Sun walked in and said, "Your Majesty, is it a bit heavier for you to deal with the Dou family like this?" ”

"What's the weight, these moths parasitic on the people, one less family of the people will be easier, and the empire will be stable, I wish they were all in the hands of the imperial uncle and cleaned up by the imperial uncle." After speaking, he felt that he was cautious again, and he pinched his nose embarrassedly and smiled embarrassedly at Empress Changsun.

"You're roasting Uncle Huang on the stove!"

"It's okay, Uncle Huang is hard, let them go together and can't gnaw it, you look at Cheng Qian's letter, Uncle Huang doesn't plan to have descendants in order to avoid future generations, just this one, those old things who dare to go to Uncle Huang's bad luck, I dare to guarantee that Uncle Huang will be slapped in the face."

"Uncle Huang is selfless, you really plan to make Uncle Huang have no queen."

"Uncle Huang is the only seedling in his family, and I haven't seen a few imperial aunts move, I am very strange, this time I went to Yangzhou, I asked the imperial doctor to take a look."

The eldest grandson nodded: "Now there are many people who write to intercede for the Dou family, and if you avoid it, they will go to Shangyang Palace to find their father." ”

"Don't worry about this, my father understands the emperor's uncle's personality better, my father will definitely pretend to be confused, these big families are worried that they will not lose their tails before."

Seeing that her husband was confident, the eldest grandson queen also calmed down, these clans have the meaning of competing with the emperor, and now there is a king of Zhou, and the wicked have to grind the wicked, this is really true through the ages.
