Chapter five hundred and ninety second confrontation
"Brother, you have to make the decision for Qing'er." Just as Yuan Baohe roared in the Yuan family, almost the same roar sounded in the Dugu family's mansion on the other side of Chang'an City.
In the inner courtyard hall, Dugu Yunqing was pale and lying unconscious on a stretcher in the center of the hall. His lower body was wrapped in white cloth. There were still stains of blood on it. Beside him, there was a slightly fatter man.
A middle-aged man in a well-dressed man knelt on the ground and howled loudly. In front of him was another middle-aged man in a well-dressed dress. The two of them also looked somewhat similar. It was obvious at a glance that they were two brothers.
The person kneeling on the ground was Dugu Yunqing's father, Dugu Sen. The other person was the current head of the Dugu family, Dugu Sen's eldest brother, Dugu Chen. At this time, Dugu Chen already knew the whole thing. In his
His face was also full of anger. Dugu Yunqing was not only his nephew, but also a descendant who the Dugu family had high hopes for. Yuan Junbao actually treated Dugu Yunqing so hard in public. It was simply unbelievable.
It is a provocation to the Dugu family. Although Dugu Chen has always maintained a low profile, it does not mean that he can indulge in anything that dares to provoke the dignity of the Dugu family.
Dugu Chen lowered his head and glanced at Dugu Yunqing, who was lying on the stretcher. Although the doctor had checked, Dugu Yunqing's injuries were not life-threatening, but his legs were seriously injured. He might be disabled.
Although Dugu Yunqing is a bit arrogant as a young man, his qualifications are outstanding. Dugu Chen originally planned to train him well and let him succeed him as the head of the Dugu family. But now he has ended up like this. Thinking of this, Dugu Chen couldn't help but feel angry.
With a moderate fever, he shouted loudly: "Here comes someone. Get ready to ride. I'm going to Prince Tang's Mansion. We, the Dugu family, must seek justice for this matter."
Hearing what Dugu Chen said, Dugu Sen couldn't help but be overjoyed. He knew that Dugu Chen said this because he wanted to stand up for Dugu Yunqing. Immediately, Dugu Sen also bowed to Dugu Chen gratefully, but he snorted viciously in his heart.
: "Yuan Junbao. Even if you have the support of the Yuan family, I still need your head to compensate for my son's legs this time."
As the head of the Dugu family, Dugu Chen's departure naturally marked the start of the operation of the huge family machine of the entire Dugu family. Soon, nearly a dozen Dugu went to the Tang Palace with Dugu Chen.
The court officials and generals who came from home went together. These were those who stayed in Chang'an. There were more local officials and generals. Unknowingly, the power of the Dugu family in Li Tang had also become so great.
These more than ten officials and generals of the Dugu family were blocked in the Tang Palace. Led by Dugu Chen, no one said anything. They just stood upright. But they gave the soldiers at the door of the Tang Palace an invisible feeling.
pressure.
Soon, Li Yuan, Liu Zhenghui, and Pei Ji, who were discussing matters in the palace, walked out together. Seeing the scene at the gate, Li Yuan couldn't help but be shocked, even though Li Yuan had been notified before. Li Yuan stepped forward and faced Dugu Chen.
Said: "Mr. Dugu, what are you..."
Although Dugu Chen is the head of the Dugu family, he has not entered the court as an official. This is also the family rule of the Dugu family. As the head of the family, if he enters the court as an official, he will inevitably be bound by the rules of the court. So as long as he becomes an official
The head of the family could not become an official. However, Li Yuan would not despise Dugu Chen because of this. Instead, he respectfully called Dugu Chen sir. For Li Yuan's respect, Dugu Chen did not show gratitude as in the past, but was cold and cold.
He gave in coldly and snorted to Li Yuan lukewarmly: "The King of Tang is being polite. The people can't bear it."
Li Yuan felt a little embarrassed when his hot face touched someone else's cold ass. However, he knew very well the reason why Dugu Chen had such an attitude. It was not against him, but because of what happened on Zhuque Street at noon today. To be honest, when he learned about this, Li Yuan was also furious. Zhuque Street is the main street of Chang'an City. It leads directly from the city gate to the palace. And Zhuque Street is also the most prosperous area in Chang'an. You You said that the Dugu family and the Yuan family couldn't fight anywhere, but they went to Suzaku Street to fight. And it was at the juncture when Li Yuan was about to ascend the throne.
However, no matter how angry Li Yuan was, the Dugu family in front of him had to be comforted no matter what. Li Yuan immediately said to Dugu Chen: "Mr. Dugu, please don't say that. Mr. Dugu has always helped me. Keep it in mind. I am determined not to let Mr. Dugu suffer any injustice."
After hearing what Li Yuan said, it was clear that he was on his side. Dugu Chen's face finally looked better. Of course, his actions today would cause dissatisfaction in Li Yuan's heart, but no matter what, he couldn't let others think that The Dugu family has been destroyed. In that case, more and more people will poop and urinate on the heads of the Dugu family in the future. Now that Li Yuan has expressed his position, Dugu Chen will naturally not be unreasonable. Even if it is He bowed his hands to Li Yuan and said, "Everyone, including the common people, will obey the arrangements of the King of Tang. I believe that the King of Tang will not allow the common people like me to be bullied."
You are being bullied. It would be a good thing if you don't bully others. After hearing Dugu Chen's words, Li Yuan couldn't help but murmur to himself. Although he felt unhappy, he also knew that he wanted to ascend to the supreme position. It is absolutely impossible for Emi to have the help of the Dugu family. As for the Yuan family, this incident can also be used to beat him, lest they become disobedient. A few months ago, the death of Yuan Hu was the same. It's solved.
"My son." Just when Li Yuan was about to continue to say some comforting words to Duguchen, suddenly a roar came from a distance. Then, there was a faint sound of music. Listen carefully. Li Yuan's expression changed immediately. The music was actually a piece of mourning music. Li Yuan looked in the direction from which the sound came. He saw a group of people walking towards this side at the other end of the street. All of them were dressed in white mourning clothes. They were playing mourning music and slowly walked towards this side.
Li Yuan's expression suddenly changed again and again. Although Li Yuan is not too old now, he is no longer young after all. This is more or less taboo on this kind of thing. Usually people under Li Yuan will pay attention to it, but not Thinking that today, a funeral procession actually came to the door of his Prince Tang's Mansion. Li Yuan immediately turned gloomy and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Come here, drive this funeral procession away. "
"My son, you died so miserably." As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, another voice came over. This time, Li Yuan's eyes suddenly opened. And Dugu Chen, who was in front of Li Yuan, also had a look on his face. Shen. They had all heard who the owner of the voice was. They saw that the funeral procession was getting closer and closer. It was almost reaching the gate of Prince Tang's Mansion. The leader, a middle-aged man, was holding a memorial tablet in his hand. While howling, he walked towards this side. Li Yuan and Dugu Chen both recognized this person. This person is a direct descendant of the Yuan family. He is called Yuan Lian Bao. And in his arms is There is a line of words written on that spiritual tablet: "The spiritual tablet of my beloved son Yuanhu".
That's right. This Yuan Lian Bao is the biological father of Yuan Hu, who was killed by Du Hao on the street a few months ago. This Yuan Lian Bao did not become an official in the court, but he was in charge of several shops of the Yuan family. Management. He is also an important person in charge of the Yuan family. Du Hao killed his son Yuan Hu that day. Li Yuan also spent a lot of effort to settle the matter. Unexpectedly, this person came out again now. And he was still dressed like this and holding Wonho’s memorial tablet. Obviously he wasn’t just attending the funeral.
Soon, the funeral procession arrived at the gate of Prince Tang's Mansion. The sergeant who was previously sent by Li Yuan to stop them was stopped by several strong men also wearing mourning clothes before they even got close to Yuan Lian Bao. One of the soldiers even planned to use force, but was immediately restrained by the opponent. Obviously, these strong men were all masters among the Yuan family's children.
Li Yuan watched with a livid face as the funeral procession came to him. He snorted coldly: "Yuan Lian Bao. What do you want to do?"
The Yuan Lianbao wiped his face with snot and tears. He howled at Li Yuan. He knelt down in one breath and raised the spiritual tablet in his hand above his head. He shouted: "Tang Your Highness, the dog died unexpectedly. I beg His Highness the King of Tang to make the decision for the dog."
Li Yuan did not expect that Yuan Lian Bao would suddenly mention this matter again. Immediately, Li Yuan's face was livid with anger. If it weren't for the many people watching around him, Li Yuan would have wished to kill him in one breath. But Li Yuan now But it was a critical moment for him to ascend the throne, so Li Yuan had to maintain his good reputation. Immediately, Li Yuan made a gesture to the sergeants behind him, asking them to disperse the people watching around him. Then there was another He said to Yuan Lianbao: "Mr. Yuan, there is no need to be like this. If you have anything to say, you can stand up and say it carefully."
However, Yuan Lianbao refused to get up at all. He just knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness, Prince Tang. Quanzi was killed for no reason a few months ago. However, the governor of Chang'an refused to accept the case and kept delaying it. To this day, there is still no way to solve it. I beg His Highness, Prince Tang, to show mercy and give Quanzi justice."
Hearing Yuan Lianbao's words, Li Yuan became more and more angry. Li Yuan had already negotiated this matter with Yuan Baohe and let it go. But he didn't expect that the Yuan family would go back on their word and make a fuss about this matter again. .However, although he was angry in his heart, Li Yuan did not dare to tell this matter. This kind of thing may be common to veteran officials like them, but if it is placed in the hearts of the old people around him, it will cause all kinds of problems. Different versions, because no one would believe that someone would give up even the revenge of killing his son for the sake of profit.
