When Dao Tong first came out of Yongjiahou Mansion, it was already full of stars.

He mounted on his horse and walked slowly to the county office.

After Zhu Liangzu took office, he merged the eastern, western and central cities of Guangzhou in the Song Dynasty, and expanded to the north, crossed to Yuexiu Mountain, and built a large Guangzhou city, which really took some time on the way.

Dao Tong thought about his heart, and he didn't walk fast. Originally, he had been a little hesitant to poke things out at this time, not because he was afraid of being retaliated against by Zhu Liangzu, but now that 100,000 troops had gathered in Guangxi, he was afraid that it would affect the final battle of reunification.

But today is a complete tear with Yongjiahou. And, listening to the meaning of his father and son's words, he must already know something.

He said in his heart that he could not delay any longer. I will go back tonight and transcribe the recital overnight, and send it to the capital early tomorrow morning. Whether you want Zhu Liangzu or not is up to the emperor himself. Anyway, I have a clear conscience......

was thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard the elder of the horse shouting: "Master, it seems that the yamen has gone out of the water!" ”

"Huh?" Dao Tong hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, he saw a fire in the direction of the front yaqian street, and he saw that the location was his own county office.

"Hurry back!" Dao Tong pinched the horse's belly hard, threw off the long follower, and galloped away.

~~

Dao Tong returned to the yamen in a blink of an eye, and sure enough, he saw a raging fire burning in the county ya.

At this time, both inside and outside the yamen were also alarmed, and the officials dragged water dragons from the street shops outside, carrying wipes, and rushed in in a panic, and the people on the street also carried buckets to help put out the fire.

Dao Tong also hurriedly dismounted, walked in quickly, and met the staff who was about to go to him to report the news.

"Oops, sir......" the staff also saw him.

"What's going on? Where is the fire? Dao Tong grabbed him and asked urgently.

"It's the master's signing room...... "The staff hissed.

"How is that possible?!" Dao Tong was incredulous: "When I left, I obviously turned off the lights and locked the door." ”

The little old man didn't know what was going on, and just after he fell asleep, he heard someone outside shouting to take away the water. Get up and look, good fellow, the signing room has already let the fire eat. The staff said with a look of hell: "I hurriedly asked people to put out the fire, but it didn't burn anywhere else." ”

Dao Tongxin said, okay, feelings burned my house alone.

He didn't bring his family to work, so he lived in the signing room, working outside and sleeping inside. Didn't occupy any other rooms......

~~

With the concerted efforts of the officials and the people, the fire was finally extinguished.

Dao Tong hugged his fists and thanked the people whose faces were covered with black ashes, and instructed his subordinates not to get up early tomorrow to stand on duty, and to rest well.

When everyone dispersed, he and his staff were left standing in front of the ruins of the smoking signing room, crying without tears.

A room full of official documents, books, and official letters were all burned to ashes, and trouble was still to come......

"Don't worry about anything else." Dao Tong said in a deep voice: "Let's see if that thing is still there." ”

"Enough." The staff shook their heads, and the two of them entered the inner room with lanterns, and saw that the bed had been charred.

Dao Tong didn't give up, and went to the bed to touch the dark grid, but he didn't touch anything......

"The beds are burned like this, and the dark grid must have turned to ashes a long time ago." The staff sighed and said, "Not to mention the paper inside." ”

"Bastard!" Dao Tong hated a heavy punch, slammed into the wreckage of the bed, and collapsed with a bang.

"Where do you say this fire came from?" Sitting on the ruins, Dao asked.

"The Eight Achievements were recruited by something in the dark grid." The staff said in a low voice: "The purpose of setting this fire is to destroy the evidence, and the second is to warn Dong Weng not to know whether he is dead or alive anymore." ”

"Hmm." Daotong nodded. "That's what I thought too......"

He told his staff about the banquet tonight.

"That's right." The staff smiled bitterly: "It's useless to see coercion and temptation, so I have to give you some color to see." ”

"It's really lawless." Dao Tong looked up at the haze in the sky, and said in a muffled voice: "I don't believe that he can cover the sky with one hand!" ”

"What, Dong Weng is going to continue?" The staff was startled, and hurriedly persuaded him in a low voice: "Stop it, Dong Weng, if you go down again, you will really die." ”

"Alas......" Dao Tong sighed, falling silent for the first time. Just when the staff thought that he was finally going to bow to reality, he heard Dao Zhixian say slowly: "I know you are right, but I am also afraid, I want to stop, I don't care about anything." But I am a child of Confucianism, Kong said Chengren, Meng said Yiyi, they didn't teach us to retreat. ”

"......" The staff smiled bitterly, and arched his hand towards the road: "Little Lao'er knows that Dong Weng will say so." ”

After speaking, he asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I just thought that they didn't find the place where I was hiding, so they had to burn down the signing room." Dao Tong lowered his voice and said, "But what if the signing room is burned? They couldn't be sure, did I make another copy of the evidence and put it somewhere else? ”

"Makes sense." Staff member Mr. Hu twisted his beard and his head.

"So they are still in an uncertain state, as long as I write the bullet seal as planned, and then get some paper and put it in the card box to block it, and send it to the express delivery shop to the capital early tomorrow morning, what will they think about Yongjiahou?" Dao Tong asked more and more excitedly as he spoke.

"I must think that the evidence is still there, otherwise what else will Dong Weng use to impeach him?" Mr. Hu said, and asked with a puzzled expression: "But if we send a fake evidence to the capital, isn't it a crime of defrauding the king?" ”

"Who said it was false evidence, it was a mistake on the part of the official!" Dao Tong waved his hand and said: "It will be found and rejected in the General Administration Department, so that the emperor will not see it." ”

"It doesn't matter if the emperor sees it, I can't bear the child's wolf, and I can't take care of it so much." Dao Tong's eyes were firm and said: "As long as Yongjiahou believes that the evidence is still there, he will definitely panic!" ”

"And then?" Mr. Hu asked.

"Then he'll take risks and do stupid things like lawlessness." Dao Tong pointed to his signature room and said: "This time he dared to burn the county government of this official, and it will definitely be even more excessive next time!" ”

"Then it's only Dong Weng's life." Mr. Hu said worriedly: "He has the king's flag, and below the fourth rank can be cut first and then played......"

"But I was registered with the emperor, and he couldn't kill me without a hard reason." Dao Tong said lightly: "Fortunately, although this official has no achievements, he has never been a traitor, and he can't find a reason to kill me." ”

"Don't be too naïve, there's no reason to make it up." Mr. Hu reminded him: "Those people can do anything. ”

"Then he's hooked." But he sneered and said, "What is fake is always fake." If you check it, you will be exposed, and when the time comes, the truth about fabricating charges and falsely killing court officials will come to light, and the gods will not be able to protect him! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Mr. Hu proudly and said, "How is it, is this method hard?" ”
