Dou Qi turned around and saw a young man with a bun on his head and rags approaching, leading a group of half-grown children. When the young man saw Dou Qi, he bowed his head and bowed. When the young men behind him saw him, they also knelt on the ground. Dou Qi hurriedly said: "Brother Jin Xian, why is it you? Please get up quickly..." Then he introduced his mother and sister-in-law.
It turns out that the young man's name is Jin Kui, who was born in a family of jugglers. He has practiced extraordinary lightness skills since he was as light as a swallow, and climbed and jumped like an ape. He is known as the Golden Flea. Later, his parents were framed by an adulterer and both died, and the juggling class broke up. He had to wander around and was adopted by a thief leader in Douyi. Once, the two of them went to Dou Mansion to steal and were caught. The leader of the thief was punished on the spot. Dou Qi's uncle Zhou Lu was going to have Jin Flea beheaded. Dou Qi immediately pleaded with Zhou Luo, saying that it was his instruction that Jin Flea came to steal, and the two of them were making a bet for fun. Zhou Li gave Dou Qi a severe scolding and spared Jin Flea from execution. Jin Flea was extremely grateful, and the two immediately became sworn brothers with different surnames... Then Jin Flea took the group of children to pay tribute to Mrs. Zhou and Mo Xian.
Hearing that Mrs. Zhou and Mo Xian wanted to see Chu Jun to avenge Dou Qi's brother Dou Yuqiang but failed, Jin Flea said: "Now that traitors are in power, even if they meet Chu Jun, they may not be able to avenge Yu Qiang's brother. It's not all Fei Wuchang. Did that traitor do it? In my humble opinion, it’s better to find a way to kill that traitor and see how he can harm Brother Yuqiang?"
Mrs. Zhou said: "Son, I'm very grateful that you can think of brother Yu Qiang. If so, wouldn't your brother Yu Qiang be charged with another crime? Then he might not be able to get rid of it even if he jumps into the Yellow River... Wisdom-in-law, we It's better to go to Min'er first and then make plans. Qiang'er is his biological brother after all, he doesn't care, he will come back to us tomorrow morning..."
In the morning of the next day, Mrs. Zhou and Mo Xian brought the two brothers Dou Qi and Dou Lian to the gate of Chu Palace again. In the early morning, the entire street was full of soldiers on guard. When the minister of the previous court passed by, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately started screaming in the street to complain about Dou Yuqiang. At this moment, Fei Wuchang's driver came closer. Hearing the calls of his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he immediately ordered the door Yin to take them down. The soldiers were about to take someone away when suddenly a large group of children ran out from nowhere and walked around the soldiers. The soldiers could not get close to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. In a blink of an eye, two more carriages came from behind. In the carriage in front sat an old general with a gray beard, who was the senior official Qu Nai's father. In the carriage behind sat the concubine of Chu Jun, Zhang Zhang. It turned out that Dou Min said in front of his sister-in-law Mo Xian that it would be difficult to save his brother Dou Yu, but he actually did not stand idly by and then went to Qu Mansion and Chu Mansion respectively. The two are usually very dissatisfied with the actions of Prince Xiong Yan and Fei Wuchang, and they also know that Dou Yuqiang is innocent. Just because Xiong Zhi and Fei Wuchang were deeply favored by the Lord of Chu and could cover the sky with one hand, they dared to be angry but dared not speak out. The two men were entrusted by Dou Min. When they saw the door Yin leading the soldiers to drive away Mrs. Zhou's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they immediately stopped the door Yin and then went into the palace to meet Xiong Suan to report the matter.
Because the prince and Fei Wuchang made things difficult for him, Xiong Zhen was unwilling to meet Mrs. Zhou's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Qu Nai's father reported: "There are many doubts about the case of Dou Yuqiang. His wife and mother came to complain, which is really unacceptable. I believe that the way to control water is to sparse the top and block the bottom. It is the same to appease the people. Reason. The case of Dou Yuqiang has aroused a lot of suspicion among the people. If the monarch uses obstruction methods, it will definitely cause confusion in people's hearts. If he uses the sparse method and allows his family members to state in person, it will not only help to clarify the case, but also It can convince his family members and let the world know that the monarch is a truly caring and caring saint. Please think again!"
Xiong Zhen thought about it and felt that Qu Nai's father's words were reasonable, so he had to summon Mrs. Zhou and Mo Xian.
In the main hall, Mo Xian recounted the story of delivering food to the soldiers. Fei Wuchang immediately retorted: "Dou Yuqiang blatantly took the food from the construction site to his home and framed you? I found so much food in your treasury. Is it also a lie? Even the soldiers who pulled the food have admitted it, but you go around complaining and complaining to confuse the public. Aren't you keeping it secret and deliberately lying? To tell you the truth, you will be lenient if you confess, and strict if you resist. You can only help him hide it. The crime is aggravated! The evidence is conclusive that Dou Yuqiang, Dou Yuqiang, committed corruption and perverted the law, and also encouraged his family members to cause trouble everywhere. If we do not severely punish these rebellious ministers and traitors, and everyone will follow their example in the future, how can we govern?"
Mo Xian said angrily: "Mr. Fei, my husband is an upright man and has never been greedy or embezzled. Apart from the truck of grain and rice that you framed him for, what else has been stolen from his family? Just because my husband upholds the law and treats your relatives for embezzlement and servitude." He was punished for the grain incident, so you took revenge on him because of your grudge. You killed Lord Bobi before, and now you are here to harm my husband. You formed a clique for personal gain and harmed loyal people. You are the traitor and traitor of Dachu!"
Fei Wuchang rolled his eyes in anger. Upon seeing this, the prince Xiong Zan immediately reported: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, our Great Chu Palace is an important place for monarchs and ministers to discuss state affairs. How can we allow this shrew to play tricks here? If it spreads, she will be laughed at by the world. Please, Jun." I decree that this shrew be beheaded and displayed to the public as a warning to others!"
Mrs. Zhou saw this and immediately scolded: "Shut up, the Ai family is the younger brother-in-law of the late emperor, the noble concubine, and the daughter-in-law of the Ai family is the nephew-in-law of the late emperor. Not to mention the royal family, just ordinary people complaining to the king. Injustice is like a child telling her parents her troubles. What crime is there? It was the Ai family who asked her to come here. If she wants to kill her, then kill the Ai family!"
Fei Wuchang sneered and said: "What about the prince and concubine? Do you think you can escape punishment? As the saying goes, when a prince breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people. If you want to die with her, the best thing is to let you mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a companion on the road to hell. !”
At this moment, Xiong Zhen's eyes were gloomy and his face was ashen. He was obviously persuaded by Fei Wuchang and the prince. When Jiang Zhang saw this, he immediately reported: "The king is above, Dou Yuqiang's family members cannot move at all! Firstly, Douyuqiang has made great contributions to serve Pupingxing, and secondly, his embezzlement of military grain has not yet been investigated. Furthermore, Then, his wife Mo Xian is the daughter of King Pu. Killing her will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people of Pu. If it causes unrest, wouldn’t it be a small gain but a big loss? I hope the king will think twice!"
Xiong Zhen felt that what Jiang Zhang said was reasonable, so he said: "The case of Dou Yuqiang's embezzlement of labor grains has been handed over to the Sibai government for investigation. We will make a decision after the case is found out. It is a capital crime for you to roar at the court. I think you are all female prostitutes." I will stop pursuing you and retreat from the court!"
Unexpectedly, when she saw Chu Jun, he failed to clear up Dou Yuqiang's grievances and was almost beheaded. Mo Xian was so angry that she beat her chest and cried, wanting to go back to Pu Village to move troops to rescue Dou Yuqiang. If the King of Chu refuses to let him go, we will fight him with swords.
When Dou Min saw this, he quickly stopped him and said, "No, no. It's a long way back to Puzhai, and it's difficult to save the fire from afar. Besides, if both sides use weapons, it will only be more detrimental to the second brother..."
Mo Xian said: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Dou Min said: "The most important thing right now is not to rush to rescue Yu Qiang from prison. I am afraid that the prince and Fei Wu will deal with him the same way they dealt with Brother Bobi and the second young master..."
When Mrs. Zhou saw this, she couldn't help but cry: "Then let Wei Niang go in and go to jail with him, and Wei Niang taste everything he eats first... If they want to poison Qiang'er, let them poison Wei Niang first... …”
Mrs. Zhou and her daughter-in-law Mo Xian came to the prison camp crying together, but were blocked by the soldiers guarding the prison camp. It happened that doctor Qu Naifu came here while inspecting the prison camp, asked about the whole story, and took his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to visit Dou Yuqiang.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Dou Yuqiang was tortured so badly that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't help but burst into tears. Dou Yuqiang comforted him and said, "Mom, don't worry. My son is not afraid of slanting shadows. Let's see what he can do to the child."
Mo Xian said: "You didn't do anything, so why were you put in the sky prison by them for no reason? Those people want to plot against you, how can they care whether you are right or wrong? They put you in the sky prison, how can you let go? They will definitely do it. If I use poisonous tactics to kill you again, I have to be careful!"
Dou Yuqiang said: "Who has never died in life since ancient times? It's just... Well, I didn't die on the battlefield where I was expanding my territory to kill the enemy, but I died in the hands of these traitors. Yuqiang, I'm not willing to accept it! Madam, Yuqiang, I'm sorry You, I didn’t let you live a comfortable life for a day, and you still have to worry about me... In case I am gone, you will take Daner back to Puzhai. Don’t take revenge for me. Don’t let more people suffer because of me. Bleeding. These traitors have done all the bad things and will never end well. God will punish them. Do you remember what I said?"
