Chapter 391 Shi Yao
"Pfft!"
"clang……"
Accompanied by a scream of unbearable pain, Zhou Chongtao, the inspector of Dang County, was cut off shoulder-to-shoulder by a Zhenyue-level divine soldier in the palm of Fan Xiao, and the dagger fell to the ground in an instant.
The dagger had a faint green light, clearly poisoned.
Fan Xiao had a clean and innocent little face, and with a wave of his hand, he condensed the gushing blood mist in the air, and quickly retracted it to prevent it from splashing around.
Then he backhanded several shots of mana, helping Zhou Chongtao stop the bleeding.
The young girl Xu Shi deeply hated the murderer's attack on her lover, but she did not stop the pain.
As a result, Zhou Chongtao's face turned pale from the pain, and on his forehead, beads of sweat the size of soybeans oozed out. He wanted to escape, but he felt that the acupoints all over his body were firmly restrained by a strange force, and he couldn't move at all.
He had no choice but to raise his ferocious face, and looked at the girl with clear eyebrows like a ghost.
Su Zhaodao: "Qu Kai, take this beast under arrest, interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes, and order him to confess and put him under arrest."
Although the suspect can be identified by listening to his heartfelt voice, conclusive evidence is still needed to arrest the Dou family, at least Zhou Chongtao's confession is needed as a basis.
"No." Qu Kai took the order and left, greeted the imperial army, and escorted Zhou Chongtao away.
A patrol envoy was taken down on the spot, and the process was even more bloody. Lu Chen, the governor of Dang County, couldn't help but turn pale, and felt his calves twist uncontrollably. group.
What's more, since he took office, he has done nothing but made no mistakes. Thinking of this, he calmed down a little.
Su Zhao ignored Lu Chen, asked Gao Yuanhua with a look of fear on his face, but managed to maintain a calm composure, and said coldly: "You have been stationed in Jiandang County for several months, so you know who the officials in the county are? Old relatives and friends of the Dou family?"
Gao Yuanhua, the censor of Jianjun, heard the words, and quickly cupped his hands and said: "Return to your lord, Yu Song, the governor of the county, is the son-in-law of Dou Xing, the head of the Dou family. The meritorious Cao Tianliang is married to the Dou family, and Shi Dou Ci is the son of Dou Xing. Among the nine counties in Dang County, four county chief officials are related to the Dou family, not only the Dou family, but the Kang, Liang, Che, Shen, and Wang families are also intertwined in the counties."
Although Gao Yuanhua seldom investigated and dealt with officials in Dang County, he made great efforts to investigate the power network of these prefects.
Not only Dou's family, but even several other county prefects, such as Kang, Liang, Che, Shen, Wang and other five prefects, also have some understanding.
This is also a bit of his experience as an official. He is prepared for everything and can respond to inquiries.
If you take ten thousand steps back, you can still avoid disasters and save yourself.
In this regard, Lu Chen, who has just taken office, is much worse.
This is also the difference between an official close to the people and a censor who rectifies wind and discipline. For the latter, the study of interpersonal relationships must be a compulsory course.
Su Zhao pondered for a while, and said: "Yan Qing, did you know these situations before?"
Although Yan Chang, with the position of a young minister, was his envoy by imperial order, and he was regarded as an imperial envoy, but because the censor of the county was directly under the central government, Gao Yuanhua might not reveal these official cobwebs to Yan Chang.
Yan Chang nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I have heard a little bit about it, but Dou Xing built bridges and paved roads in Dang County, opened a private school, and his reputation is quite high. As for the few people mentioned by Gao Yushi, they have no bad deeds. , known as clean and honest, the Yushitai has been investigated several times before, and there is no trace of corruption."
Su Zhao said in a deep voice: "The official voice is brilliant, honest and conscientious, but they may not be able to obstruct the New Deal. Before I came alone, there was a Dang County patrol envoy who killed people one day in advance. I wondered about it, or this generation tipped off the news and communicated with each other. With or without, they seem to have shared weal and woe and fought against the imperial court."
Yan Chang sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, you will learn from me."
This is also how he felt in Dang County. Looking around, there are enemies everywhere, but it is really specific to an individual, but he can't find it everywhere.
"You have to let them jump out, otherwise they will be dormant and invisible, so it's not easy for Gu to ask questions." Su Zhao pondered, "The news of Zhou Chongtao's arrest has probably reached their ears by now, and Gu will wait for them to get busy now." error."
As Suzhao said, Yu Song, the governor of Dangjun County, had to inform the jailer almost immediately after Zhou Chongtao was arrested and sent to the county government prison.
Zhou Chongtao and the Dou family had a very close relationship, Yu Song naturally knew that although he did not directly participate in the Dou family's illegal activities, he did cover up many of them.
Dou's Manor
Dou Ci, the eldest son of Dou Xingzhi, the Patriarch of the Dou family, was talking to Dou Ji and his son in the second room, and his brows were wrinkled into the word "Chuan", with a displeased look on his face.
"Second brother is so ignorant, how can others disturb the resting place of our ancestors?" Dou Ci said in a low voice, looking into the eyes of Dou Ji and his son, there was hint of sullenness.
Dou Ji smiled wryly and said: "Brother, how could my younger brother not know, it's just that the Haoyang Immortal Sect is coming aggressively, hey, let Sheng'er talk about it."
Dou Sheng was about to speak.
But at this time, a group of people came from outside the flower hall, as if entering a land without people, and the leader was Shi Yao.
"Let's talk about this seat."
Dou Ci's expression darkened, and he said, "Who are you? Who let you in? Come..."
Shi Yao calmly walked to the side of the wooden chair and sat down, said with a faint smile: "The servants of your mansion have been taken care of by me, Mr. Dou should not waste his words."
Dou Ci's face darkened in an instant, and he raised his eyes to look at the tumbling ball of yellow fireworks in the opposite palm. He didn't know that he had met a disciple of the Immortal Family!
Dou Ci said coldly: "What do you want to do?"
Shi Yao's face was calm, and he said: "Mr. Dou, don't be afraid. I came to Dou's house just to pick up an old thing. Of course, in order to understand the cause and effect, I can be kind and show you a way out for Dou's family."
Dou Ci was startled and suspicious, and said: "Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean? Mr. Dou will know right away." Shi Yao smiled contemptuously, and cast a pair of proud eyes outside the flower hall through the barriers of the country.
At this moment, it was mid-afternoon, the sky was gloomy and gloomy, large flakes of snow were falling, deep in the courtyard, covered in silver, only a few winter plums were in bloom, as white as jade.
On the winding corridor, where the lanterns are rustling in the wind, a servant with the appearance of an old housekeeper came trotting all the way in a hurry.
The man walked through the moon gate with the pergola hanging down, came to the flower hall, and said: "Master, something is wrong..."
When the old butler saw the scene in the hall, his voice suddenly stopped.
Dou Ci knew something was wrong, and he didn't care about the presence of Shi Yao and other outsiders, so he said in a deep voice, "What's the matter, tell me!"
The old butler hurriedly walked up to Dou Ci and whispered a few words in his ear.
Dou Ci's complexion changed drastically, and he said, "Is this true?"
"It's absolutely true, this is the news from my aunt and a close friend." The old housekeeper said in a low voice.
Dou Ci's gaze became uncertain, Su Hou came, he knew that it was either today or tomorrow, so he secretly signaled Zhou Chongtao to silence the prisoners in the cell in advance.
But who would have thought that Zhou Chongtao would be arrested and imprisoned as soon as that gentleman came to Dang County. Although the details are unknown, the situation is presumably dangerous.
There was a sneer on the corner of Shi Yao's mouth, and he asked knowingly: "Mr. Dou, what trouble did you encounter?"
Dou Ci's face was gloomy like iron, and he said: "Your Excellency, what advice do you have?"
"That Marquis Su is a master who has his own great power and cultivates strange skills. The Dou family wants to deceive the upper and lower to survive this calamity, and it will be difficult." Shi Yao said with a light smile.
Before Dou Ci's face became more and more gloomy, Fan Tai said: "Mr. Dou, if you can understand the cause and effect, my senior brother will take action, and the Dou family will be safe and sound this time."
Dou Ci pondered for a moment.
Shi Yao smiled and said: "I don't have the ability to keep Dou's family safe and sound, but if it's just to escort your Dou's family away from Su to avoid disaster from Zheng, I can still do it."
Even if Su Hou's Taoism was only Yuan Gang, he would not act hastily. At this moment, Shi Yao didn't know that Su Zhao's cultivation base had reached the state of divine illumination. Yuan Gang Realm.
Thinking of this, Shi Yao thought, he is not Fan Tai.
In order to win the favor of Junior Sister Yun'er, he conspired to assassinate the king of a country with a whimsical idea. As a result, Senior Uncle Jinyang, a great master of the hole, was completely ruined.
Shi Yao glanced at Fan Tai and thought to himself: "If Zheng Jun had not obtained the destiny of Yuzhou and was about to establish the Immortal Dynasty in the next year, his father Fan Qiong would regard the Dazai and his ministers as human gods, so I don't have to be inferior to this master." The second ancestor of the family."
