Chapter 520: A murder case

Views:

In Yihong Courtyard, Gao Ya and Li Bohao who came to take the initiative to act as hosts for Ye Xiaotian were the first to arrive, followed by Ye Xiaotian. When Li Jingchen arrived, Ye Xiaotian suddenly discovered that Li Jingjing had invited Dai Tongzhi, Probably because he was afraid that his reception banquet would not be lively.

Originally, more than half of them were serving officials, and the other half were students, officials and students. One was an "active" officer and the other was a "reserve" officer. There are many taboos, and according to common sense, it is difficult to get together at the same table.

But in Guizhou, this official status no longer exists. As soon as Ye Xiaotian introduced the two parties, Dai Tongzhi and Li Jingwen learned that these two young masters were the two young village masters who had recently turned into hereditary chiefs in Huxian County, and they immediately felt a little closer to them.

Strictly speaking, they are all hereditary local officials, and Hu County was originally under the rule of Tongren, and they made friends with two young village masters. Once they become village masters and hereditary chiefs in the future, they can become Dai Tongzhi and Li Jing in the officialdom. assistant.

The same is true for Gao Ya and Li Bohao. Their being selected by the family to enter the government school is enough to show that in the eyes of their parents, they are worthy sons and nephews, but they have not succeeded to the chief for a day, and the identity of the heirs still has variables.

The two elders' lawsuits have just been converted to hereditary. It will take a transitional stage for the cottage they are in to change from the original internal election system to the hereditary inheritance system of father and son. At least in this generation, the elders still have a lot of choice for their successors. If they can have a few chieftains to support them, it will be a strong foreign aid for them to "compete for posts".

Ye Xiaotian was originally worried that these two little brothers would not be able to chat with Dai Tongzhi and Li Jingjing, but he didn't want the four of them to get acquainted quickly, and they seemed to be a little closer than him. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Dai Tongzhi, who was a little bit drunk, showed off his flirtatious means to everyone.

Holding the wine glass, Dai Tongzhi said triumphantly: "It will take you a long time to realize that after all, a woman in a party is not as good as a woman from a good family. That kind of refusal to welcome, that kind of shyness, that kind of thoughtfulness and gentleness, is the most important thing in Yanliu Lane. A woman can never have it."

Dai Tongzhi described the beauty of a good family. The beauty in his arms just covered his lips and giggled. Gao Ya was fascinated by what he heard and yearned for it. , couldn't help but ask for advice: "Master Dai's words are certainly reasonable, but it's not easy to attack a good boudoir."

Dai Tongzhi laughed and said: "It's because it's not easy, so it's rare, otherwise there would be no fun at all. Once in the Water Margin, I used the mouth of Wang Po to say that the necessary condition to lure a good family is to have the appearance of Pan An, and the size of a donkey." The capital is as generous as Deng Tong, he will flatter him lightly, and he has to work hard, so he is called 'Pan Lu Deng Xiaoxian'."

Dai Tongzhi laughed, and said disdainfully: "Actually, Wang Po is only half right. This half is all the conditions that a man needs to have. Only these are far from enough. If someone thinks that he has these five conditions, he will be able to live freely." It's not going to be good, if you hook your little finger, there will be a woman from a good family who will fall in love with you, and it will definitely be bad luck."

Li Jingli opened his drunken eyes and said, "Then what conditions are needed?"

Dai Tongzhi took a sip of his wine and said flexibly: "If you want to be successful, I think you need five conditions, which can also be summed up in five words, saying: People, times and places!"

Gao Ya asked curiously, "How can this person behave according to the time and place?"

Ye Xiaotian frowned. He didn't object to the young Mu Ai, but he didn't agree with Dai Tongzhi's behavior. Ye Xiaotian was worried that the two little brothers' temperaments were uncertain and would be influenced by Dai Tongzhi, so he thought about turning around and paying attention. Let them have too much contact with Dai Tongzhi.

Dai Tongzhi didn't pay attention to Ye Xiaotian's slightly displeased expression, and explained: "This person means who you choose to kill. You can't just look at whether the person is beautiful or not. Those who are friendly and don't have the slightest affection for you, let's stop here, so as not to waste time.

There must always be a glimmer of possibility before you can work hard. At this time, you have to consider the time and place. At what time and where should it be convenient for you to get close to it. You must know that these boudoir women do not leave the house easily.

But not going out of the house easily does not mean not going out all the time. At the beginning, you can pay more attention, inquire diligently, and create opportunities for encounters. Later, you have to take the initiative to help her create opportunities. , don't choose a place that is too remote, she won't go. You can't choose a place that is too lively, otherwise it will be convenient for you to get close to her, and there are too many people, and it is easy to fall into the trap.

This method is the method. What method do you use to make her have you in her heart and gradually fall in love with you. An elegant and comfortable environment, a sunny weather, is a good foundation. The person has been chosen, the time and the place have been chosen, and now the Fa must be used.

The law is the way. How can I get close to her? It is essential to be able to speak eloquently. How can the eloquence like a gourd be able to attract those lonely and resentful women from good families to smile for you and feel like a spring breeze? As a woman, she just wants to be coaxed. A few more compliments will make her heart flutter.

But it’s not enough to only have a good tongue. You have to carefully design and create opportunities to get close to her, and at the same time, you must not make her aware of your ulterior motives. The ingenuity of this can only be appreciated. word spread. As for that song..."

Dai Tongzhi was eloquently showing off his flirtatious means, while the others listened to him, they let go of their restraint. Li Ching held a plump and charming beauty in his arms, rubbing her up and down, making her panting. Gao Ya and Li Bohao were even more unbearable. After all, they were young people with fresh blood. Looking at their appearance, if not for the presence of all the people, they would have already reached the sword and executed the beauty in their arms on the spot.

Ye Xiaotian was full of curiosity about this kind of place when he was not involved in entertainment, and he really saw it, but he felt that it was nothing more than that. Although he also likes admiring beauties and commenting on the beauties he sees, he is not interested in this kind of money and sex transactions, but he is the most controllable one among the five.

Ye Xiaotian felt that Gao Ya and Li Bohao were still undetermined teenagers, and he had a good relationship with Gao and Li. He couldn't see these two brothers going astray, so he considered breaking up the banquet as soon as possible, and taking these two little brothers away, so as not to let them go astray. Influenced by Dai Tongzhi.

At this time, a guard came in with a dignified expression, hurried to Dai Tongzhi's side, and whispered a few words to him. Ye Xiaotian recognized that this was an attendant brought by Dai Tongzhi, and seeing him say a few words, Dai Tongzhi's expression changed suddenly.

Dai Tongzhi stopped bragging and showing off, pushed the beauty in his arms away, and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Today, I have warm hospitality from Brother Lao, and there are some urgent matters at Dai's family that need to be rushed back to take care of them. Let Dai hold a banquet to thank you another day. This is my farewell."

Li Jing raised his head from the plump and soft breasts of the beautiful woman beside him with drunken eyes, and asked with his tongue out: "Dai...Brother Dai, why did you leave in such a hurry? Didn't my sister-in-law always... always ignore you? What about Liu?"

Dai Chonghua smiled and said: "There is something important at home, let's talk about it another day, another day." Dai Tongzhi apologized to Gao Ya and Li Bohao again, bowed to them, and hurried away Can't wait for someone to send him out.

Dai Tongzhi came out of Yihong Courtyard, got on his horse, whipped vigorously, and spurred the horse to rush towards his mansion like a spark. Dai Tongzhi hurried back to the mansion, got off his horse, forgot to hand the whip to his followers, and strode straight to the back house.

The Dai family's mansion is not small, but Dai Tongzhi walked very fast. In the flower hall, his wife Liu Shi and several concubines were whispering to each other in a panic. , what can I do, the cicada has caused a catastrophe..."

Dai Tongzhi glanced at her coldly, Liu Shi fell silent immediately, and Dai Tongzhi said in a deep voice, "Where's the cicada?"

Mrs. Liu hurriedly pointed to the small study next to her, and Dai Tongzhi handed her the whip to Mrs. Liu, and then walked towards the small study. Dai Tongzhi stretched out his hand and pushed the door, and immediately called softly: "Cicada, open the door, Daddy is back."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and a sobbing voice came from a girl: "Father, I don't want to kill him, I really don't want to kill him..."

Dai Tongzhi hurriedly said: "I know, I know, our cicadas are the most gentle and kind, how could they kill people. Daddy knows that you are wronged, open the door quickly, and tell Daddy what happened."

At this time, Dai Tongzhi's face was full of concern and distress. He neither had the solemn and stern look of a parent in front of his wife, nor the romantic charm of flirting outside, nor the face of an official in the government office. He is just an ordinary loving father.

Under his constant consolation and persuasion, the door of the small study finally opened. Dai Tongzhi stepped in quickly. When his daughter opened the door, he shrank back to the corner, squatted on the ground, put his hands on his knees, and buried his head in his knees. Between, weeping softly.

Most Guizhou chieftains have three wives and four concubines, and there are groups of women, but it is not necessarily true that people with a group of wives and concubines must have a full house of children. Since the past, there have been more than one cases where the eldest family of the first line has cut off their children. Dai Tongzhi had many wives and concubines, and now he has only one daughter and no other heirs.

So for this precious daughter, Dai Tongzhi really took care of him like an eyeball. When he saw his daughter like this, Dai Tongzhi felt very distressed, and quickly stepped forward to support his daughter's shoulder and said: "My dear girl, Daddy knows you don't mean it, don't cry." , no matter what happens, daddy is there, so you don't have to worry."

"Father..." Dai Chan'er wailed and threw herself into her father's arms, her body still trembling in fear. Dai Tongzhi patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, daddy decides everything. You should tell daddy all the ins and outs of the matter!"

Dai Chan'er sobbed and told what had happened, and Dai Tongzhi's face suddenly became serious. The person who fell from the tower was Zhang Xiaotian, he was Zhang Zhifu's nephew, even if he was molested first and was pushed off the tower by the cicada and fell to his death, the Zhang family would not let it go.

What should I do? Could it be that I want my daughter to risk her life for her life? Seeing his daughter's pale and frightened face, Dai Tongzhi felt distressed. Even if he wanted to maintain his family's existence, he would not be able to hand over his daughter, no matter what!

Dai Tongzhi asked in a deep voice: "Cicada, you pushed Zhang Xiaotian off the tower, did anyone see this?"

Dai Chan'er wiped away her tears and said: "Only Brother Pu Jie saw it, he had just climbed up the tower at that time..."

Dai Tongzhi asked: "Pu Jie? Apart from him, no one else saw what happened on the tower? Didn't they ask after the incident?"

Dai Chan'er said: "I... I was terrified at the time. Brother Pu Jie saw that I was terrified and knew that I had caused a catastrophe, so... he dragged me and ran home quickly. Everyone else was scared at the time. Still on the third or fourth floor, I heard elder brother Xiaotian screaming and falling off the tower, all of them ran down the tower to check, but... they didn't pay attention to me."

"I see… "

Dai Tongzhi's eyes flickered a few times, seeing that his daughter was still inexplicably terrified, he hugged her lightly, and said softly: "My dear girl, don't be afraid. This is just an accident. Daddy will calm the matter down and call your mother." Wash your face with you, eat something, go to bed early, don't worry, Dad is here!"

Dai Tongzhi kindly wiped away the tears on his daughter's cheeks, then strode out. In the living room, Dai Tongzhi glanced at the wives and concubines with a stern look, and said in a deep voice, "Shut up all your mouths, whoever dares to say a word, I will bury her alive!"
