Chapter 197 Qinchuan Dou Family ([-])

"He is the Patriarch of the Dou family, and everything he says and does represents the Dou family. Isn't his collusion with the Demon Sect means the Dou family's collusion with the Demon Sect? Why is it just one person?"

Dou Xiaodao: "Uncle Master doesn't know something. My Dou family has been in Qinchuan for hundreds of years. From the second to third generation, everyone has no longer been intimate with each other. Intrigues and intrigues are commonplace. It has been passed down to the present, and the Dou family has been divided. For the three factions."

"In terms of close blood relationship, they are the eldest, second, and third families. It is difficult to express the grievances and hatred between each other, and the internal divisions are early, but they are rarely mentioned in front of outsiders. It is not so much a family as a family. Community of interests."

"Now the head of the family, Dou Wencai, was born in the second house. His disciple is the younger brother of the eldest house, and he has very few contacts with him. The disciple did have private communications with the Dou family, but he only reported to Dou Bolun, the head of the house, and never communicated with Dou Wencai. What kind of intelligence information has passed, I hope my uncle will clearly observe it."

Lu Xingxian said: "Even if what you said is true, you are in the same boat after all, Dou Wencai had an affair with the Demon Sect, and Dou Bolun couldn't get away with it, they are all the same breed, telling Dou Bolun is no different from telling Dou Wencai. "

"The disciple really doesn't know, please tell me a way to survive." Dou Xiao kowtowed, and now he has a clear understanding in his heart, Lu Xingxian said such words in a roundabout way, the purpose is definitely not to send himself a special trip Cheng's, otherwise he would have killed him long ago, there must be something that needs his help.

"Since you begged for mercy, because you are a student of my intelligence department, and you have made little achievements in these years, I will teach you a way. After the matter is completed, I will speak out for you at the head teacher and the three palace masters. I just don't know if you will cooperate or not?"

"Master uncle has orders, and the disciple will go through fire and water without hesitation." Dou Xiao hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

"It's not that serious. Do you know why the Dou family is so eager to inquire about you?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

"The Dou family has a guilty conscience and suspects Junior Brother Tang's real purpose. Because you shouted wronged at the intelligence station, they became suspicious. They may be framed by someone, so they are so urgent to inquire about you."

"What does Master Uncle need disciples to do?"

"I will arrange for them to meet with you once, and you will bear everything, and then write a letter to the Dou family, clarifying the reasons for the matter, and ask them for help, so that they can find a way to help you escape the punishment of the sect. "

"Yes, the disciple knows."

"This is your only chance to prove your innocence and purge your collusion with the Demon Sect. I will watch you in the dark. If you persist in your obsession, inform the Dou family through coded words or letters, and you will know the consequences."

"The disciple dare not."

"Afterwards, I will argue clearly with the head teacher for you. The head teacher is always kind, so he will definitely not hold you accountable. Once Dou's family affairs are over, you will regain your freedom."

"Uncle, this disciple dares to ask, what punishment will this disciple receive after admitting to the family that he has stolen intelligence information?"

"You violated the sect's laws and leaked information to Dou's family. You must be punished in this section. If you sincerely repent, you will be given a lighter punishment. You will only be fined for three years and you will remain a disciple of the intelligence department."

"Then, what about Dou's family?"

"The matter of the Dou family is still under investigation. If it is only Dou Wencai's personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with the elder and the third house, if they are willing to turn their backs on the dark side and turn to the light, they will not hold the other two houses accountable. If the three houses are all deeply involved, they should be killed. "

"Yes, thank you uncle for telling me, the disciple knows."

When Lu Xingxian left the room, Dou Xiao stared blankly at the roof and fell into deep thought.

At about noon the next day, the door opened, and Lu Xingxian came in from the outside: "Someone will come soon, you should know what to do?"

"Yes, the disciple understands."

Lu Xingxian nodded, took out a blue talisman with his left hand, and slapped it on his body, his figure gradually became blurred, and disappeared completely after a while.

Sitting by the bed, Dou Xiao felt very uneasy. About an hour later, the voice of the guarding disciple came from outside the door, as if he was talking to someone. Not long after, the door opened and a man with a wide mouth walked in.

"Brother Xiao, are you alright?" the man asked after closing the door.

"It's nothing, it's just that you have been restrained and you are under house arrest in this room. Why are you here?" Dou Xiao calmed down and pretended to be surprised. The man who came in was none other than the second brother of the Dou family, named Dou. Lang, who entered the mountain gate with him in the same batch, was selected into the precepts department after shedding mortal form.

"The uncles in the family are very worried about you. Since you were taken away, they have tried their best to find out about you. Uncle Wencai sent me a letter asking me to visit you more often."

Dou Lang said: "How did you come in, the guard disciple outside the door would you come to see me?"

"Originally I refused, but I found a senior brother in the department who has a good relationship with me. He and this guard disciple are old friends who have known each other in the past. The two families are family friends, and the relationship is very close. It's a good idea to let me in. I have a stick of incense time."

"It's fine if you come, tell Uncle Bolun for me, let him find a way to save me outside, otherwise I will die, and now they don't have conclusive evidence, so the three-part interrogation has been delayed , if convicted, I'm finished."

"Just as I was about to tell you about this matter, the elders in the family are trying their best to mediate for you. Uncle Wencai asked me to tell you not to worry. They have already thought of a good plan. Also, what is going on? Isn't it? Someone set up to frame you?"

"Hey!" Dou Xiao sighed: "It's hard to explain this matter, let's do it! I'll write a letter and you take it out to the elders of the clan."

"I also have the same idea. The visiting time is limited. It's best to take a letter with you. Write everything you have to say in it." Dou Lang said, turning his left hand, and took out a pen and paper from the storage bag , Pass it to Dou Xiao.

Dou Xiao took the pen and paper and wrote vigorously. It didn't take long to write a full page and return it to him.

Dou Lang put away the letter and said, "Brother Xiao, do you have anything else to say?"

"It's all in the letter."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

"I should go." Dou Lang said, he went out of the room, thanked the disciples guarding him, and left with his sword.

"Uncle, I did as you ordered."

Watching Dou Lang go away, Dou Xiao said
A figure slowly appeared beside him, gradually turning the figure into reality.

Lu Xingxian nodded and wanted to leave.

Dou Xiao hurriedly asked: "Uncle Master, what is the restraint on the disciple?"

"After the tribunal's interrogation, the restriction on your spiritual power will be lifted, but you will still be grounded. You are not allowed to have private contact with anyone. You can only practice here until the matter of the Dou family is completely resolved."

"Yes, the disciple knows."

.........

Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged inside the wooden house, when Jiang Youzhi shouted from outside, and he went out to welcome her.

Jiang Youzhi smiled and said, "Brother Tang, brother Yu is here to talk to you, how about we go to Xichuan and have a drink and talk?"

Tangning knew that Jiang Youzhi's coming to find her at this time must be the intention of the Dou family, and it must be about the civet cat exchange for the prince mentioned last time.

So he nodded and said: "Okay! Brother Jiang is here in person, how dare you not follow."

The two fled all the way to the Wangxichuan attic. Dou Yanyu and Dou Bolun had been waiting for each other in the room. Seeing the two of them coming, Dou Yanyu greeted them and said, "I know that you two are coming. I have already prepared it. It's still in the courtyard last time." , is Senior Tang satisfied?"

Tangning smiled and said, "Wine is fine."

The four people crossed the hall and came to the courtyard, pushed the door open and entered, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras came intermittently, and several people took their seats one after another.

After some chatting and drinking, Dou Bolun took out a scroll and said, "Thank you Tang Daoyou for your instruction the day before yesterday. This is the self-confession of my nephew Dou Chong. After my interrogation, he confessed that your intelligence station stole the secret scroll information. His actions are all selfish, and he did it alone, and has nothing to do with Dou Xiao, Fellow Daoist Tang, please read."

Tangning took the scroll and opened it to read it carefully, "Since that's the case, I will report to the sect tomorrow and submit this book. Where is Dou Chong now?"

"I have ordered him to go to the intelligence station to confess this matter to the new director, Fang Yuan, and he should be in the intelligence station now."

Dou Bolun clapped his hands, and behind the crystal bead curtain, several women came in with trays and placed them in front of their desks.

Tangning lifted the red cover and put the storage bag away calmly.

"Senior Tang, my younger brother, Dou Chong, will be entrusted to you. I don't know what punishment he will suffer?" Seeing him accepting the storage bag, Dou Yanyu asked

"It's not up to me to decide. At that time, brothers from the Supervision Department will come here to investigate and interrogate. The punishment must be discussed with them and can only be decided after their approval."

"Fellow Daoist Tang, please speak well, and save his life no matter what." Dou Bolun said

"I know about this, and I will try my best to protect him then."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Tang."

The few people exchanged glasses and didn't rest until late at night. Tangning was drunk and returned to the wooden house. Seeing Fang Yuan waiting outside the door, he came to a stop beside him.

"Uncle Tang." Fang Yuan bowed and saluted.

"It's so late waiting here, what's the matter?" Tangning pushed open the door of the wooden house and walked in. Fang Yuan followed closely behind, closed the door and said in a low voice, "Uncle, today is not the time when Dou Chong suddenly found me. I said that he was the one who did the incident at our intelligence station, and my disciple was afraid of fraud, so I came here to report to my uncle."

When he heard that Dou Chong took the initiative to confess his guilt, he was completely stunned. He knew the whole story very well in his heart, and it had nothing to do with Dou Xiao. He had been thinking hard for the past few days, why the Zongmen did this, and how to solve it in the end Dou Xiao's matter.

I never thought that there would be someone who voluntarily surrendered to the crime, vying to bear the charges, and also talked about the motive, purpose, and action, and there was no loophole at first glance.

When something went wrong, he was startled and suspicious, so he rushed to look for Tangning, but unexpectedly she had gone away, so he waited until now.

"I know about this. I'm going to look for you tomorrow." Tangning took out a scroll and handed it to him, "This is Dou Chong's confession. You should report it to the sect immediately."

"Here." Fang Yuan took the scroll, unfolded it and read it, and it was the same as Dou Chong's dictation: "Uncle Tang, why are they doing this?"

"It's just abandoning the soldiers to protect the general, there's nothing to make a fuss about."

"But, this matter has nothing to do with them! Didn't Master Tang say that Brother Dou will be fine?"

"Yes! Isn't it all right now? With this confession, can the sect still convict Dou Xiao?"

Fang Yuan was dumbfounded, paused for a moment, didn't know what to say, and his mind was in a mess.

"Don't think too much about it. Just do your job. You'll know what you need to know when the time comes." Seeing his dumbfounded look, Tangning persuaded him.

"Yes." Fang Yuan replied, exited the wooden house, and left with the sword.
