Father can be an enemy to the country

When Daotong came out of Yongjiahou Mansion, the sky was already filled with stars.

He then rode on his horse and walked slowly to the county government office.

After Zhu Liangzu took office, he combined the east, west, and middle cities of Guangzhou in the Song Dynasty into one, and expanded it northward, across Yuexiu Mountain, and built a large Guangzhou city. This road really took some time.

Daotong was thinking about something and couldn't walk fast. Originally, he had been hesitant about whether to reveal the matter at this time, not because he was afraid of revenge by Zhu Liangzu, but because now a hundred thousand troops had gathered in Guangxi, he was afraid of affecting the final battle for reunification.

But today I completely broke up with Yongjiahou. Moreover, listening to the hidden meanings of his father and son's words, he must already know something.

He said in his heart that he could not delay any longer. Go back tonight and transcribe the memorial overnight, and send it to the capital early tomorrow morning. It is up to the emperor to decide whether he wants Zhu Liangzu or not. Anyway, I have a clear conscience...

While I was thinking wildly, I suddenly heard the Changsui who was leading the horse shouting: "Master, it seems that the Yamen is in trouble!"

"Ah?" Daotong hurriedly looked up, and sure enough he saw fire rising from the direction of Qiantou Yaqian Street. It turned out that the location was his county government office.

"Go back quickly!" Daotong clamped the horse's belly hard, threw off the long tail, and galloped away.

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

At this time, people inside and outside the yamen were also alarmed. Officials dragged water hoses from the street patrol shops outside and rushed in with rags on their shoulders. People on the street also carried buckets to help put out the fire.

Daotong also quickly dismounted, walked in quickly, and met his staff who were about to report to him.

"Oh, sir..." The staff also saw him.

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

"This is the master's signature room..." the staff hissed.

"How is that possible?!" Daotong couldn't believe it: "I turned off the lights and locked the door when I left."

"The little old man didn't know what was going on. He had just fallen asleep when he heard someone outside shouting that the water was running away. When he got up, he saw that the mortgage room had been burned." The staff member said with a ghostly look on his face: "I quickly asked someone to put out the fire. , at least it didn’t burn anywhere else.”

Dao Tongxin said, okay, my feelings will burn down my house.

He didn't bring his family with him to take office, so he lived in the contracted house, working in the outside and sleeping in the inside. No other rooms are occupied...

~~

With the concerted efforts of officials and civilians to put out the fire, the fire was finally put out.

Daotong thanked the common people with their faces covered in black and gray, and told his officers not to get up early to work tomorrow and to have a good rest.

After everyone had dispersed, he and his staff were left standing in front of the ruins of the custody room filled with green smoke, crying without tears.

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

"Don't worry about anything else." Daotong said solemnly: "See if that thing is still there."

"That's too much." The staff member shook his head, and the two of them entered the inner security room with lanterns, and saw that the bed had been charred.

Daotong still didn't give up, so he lay down on the bed and touched the hidden compartment, but he didn't touch anything...

"The bed has been burned like this, and the hidden compartment must have turned into ashes long ago." The staff sighed: "Not to mention the paper inside."

"Bastard!" Dao Tong punched the remains of the bed with hatred, and it collapsed with a crash.

"Where do you think this fire came from?" Dao Yi sat on the ruins and murmured.

"It's probably caused by something in the secret room." The staff member whispered: "The fire was set to destroy the evidence, and to warn Dong Weng not to live and die recklessly again."

"Yeah." Daotong nodded. "I think so too..."

He told his staff about the banquet tonight.

"Then the designation is correct." The staff member smiled bitterly: "It is useless to use threats or inducements, so I have to give you some color to see."

"It's really lawless." Daotong looked up at the haze in the sky and said in a low voice, "I don't believe he can cover the sky with one hand!"

"Why, Dong Weng wants to continue?" The staff was startled and hurriedly persuaded him in a low voice: "Stop it, Dong Weng, if you continue, people will really die."

"Alas..." Daotong sighed and fell into silence for the first time. Just when the staff thought he was finally bowing to reality, they heard the magistrate say slowly: "I know you are right, but I am also afraid, and want to stop, and don't care about anything. But I am a disciple of Confucianism, Confucius said Chengren, Mencius It’s called Qi Yi, they never taught us to back down.”

"..." The staff member gave a wry smile, cupped his hands towards Dao Tonggong and said, "Young man knows that Dong Weng will say this."

After speaking, he asked in a deep voice: "What are Dong Weng going to do?"

"I just thought that they probably didn't find the place where I hid my things, so they had no choice but to burn down the deposit room." Daotong lowered his voice and said, "But so what if they burned down the deposit room? They can't be sure. I Did you make another copy of the evidence and put it somewhere else?”

"That makes sense." Mr. Hu, the staff member, nodded while twirling his beard.

"So they are still in a state of uncertainty. As long as I write the bullets as planned, get some paper, put it in the card box and seal it, and send it to the capital by courier tomorrow morning, what will Yongjiahou and the others do? Do you think so?" Daotong asked, getting more and more excited as he talked.

"I must think the evidence is still there, otherwise why would Dong Weng impeach him?" Mr. Hu said, and asked with a puzzled face: "But if we send a false evidence to the capital, wouldn't it be a crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"Who said it was false evidence? It was because I accidentally misplaced it!" Daotong waved his hand and said, "It will be discovered and rejected in the General Affairs Department, and it will not be seen by the emperor."

"It doesn't matter even if the emperor sees it. I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf, so I can't care so much." Daotong said with firm eyes: "As long as Marquis Yongjia believes that the evidence is still there, he will definitely panic!"

"Then what?" Mr. Hu asked.

"Then he will take risks and do stupid and lawless things." Daotong pointed to his security room and said: "This time he dared to burn down my county government office. Next time he will definitely go even further!"

"Then the only way is to take Dong Weng's life." Mr. Hu said worriedly: "He has the king's order flag. If he is below the fourth rank, he can be killed first and then played..."

"But I'm registered with the emperor. He can't kill me without a good reason." Daotong said calmly: "Fortunately, although I have no achievements, I have never committed crimes. He can't find anyone to kill me." My reasons.”

"Don't be too naive, Dong Weng. There is no reason to make it up." Mr. Hu reminded him: "Those people can do anything."

"Then he took the bait." But he heard Daotong sneer and say: "Fake things will always be fake. Once checked, the truth will be revealed. When the time comes, the truth about fabricating charges and falsely accusing the imperial official will be revealed to the public, and even gods can't protect him!" "

As he spoke, he looked at Mr. Hu proudly and said, "How about it? Is this method hard?"
