……
evening.
Zhang Jian walked into Du He's room and said, "Master, Tongzhou governor Shi Yangcheng and Tongzhou Sitian Chen Hongyi are asking to see you!"
Du He heard the words, but he was not curious at all, instead a smile rose from the corner of his mouth.
He waved his hand, "Let them wait outside!"
A stick of incense.
Half an hour.
an hour.
After two full hours.
A first-quarter moon hangs in the sky.
At the gate of the yard, Yang Cheng and Chen Hongyi were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. That's fine, the key is that Du He was cooking hot pot in the yard, and the smell wafted out, making their stomachs growl.
Chen Hongyi said helplessly: "Master Changshi, let's go. Lord Hou has always been unpredictable in his affairs, so I'm afraid he won't see us."
Yang Cheng shook his head: "Lord Sitian, I have a hunch that if we turn around and leave right now, I'm afraid we will never have the chance!"
"But……"
"Wait a minute!"
As soon as the words fell, a voice came from the yard.
"Yang Changshi, Chen Sitian, come in and have hot pot together!"
This is Doo's voice.
The two were immediately overjoyed.
When Yang Cheng and Chen Hongyi came to the yard, they saw that there was already a stove in the corner, and steam was bubbling from an iron pot on the stove.
The corners of the two mouths drooled suddenly, but neither of them dared to move.
puff.
puff.
Yang Cheng and Chen Hongyi came to Du He and knelt down at the same time.
Yu Chigong was stunned.
These two people are the most unusual existences in the officialdom of the same state, and even he, the governor, doesn't give face to him, so how could he kneel down to Du He?
Du He smiled and asked, "What do you two mean?"
Yang Cheng hurriedly said: "Master Hou, the two of us are here to plead guilty!"
"Oh? What are you guilty of? Are you corrupt and perverting the law like Fang Zhouzi?"
Yang Cheng and Chen Hongyi looked at each other in shock, and quickly shook their heads: "Master Hou is wronged, I have been an official for many years, and I have never been greedy for a penny."
"We are honest and upright, and the world can learn from it!"
The two expressed their loyalty in a hurry.
Yang Cheng said: "Master Hou, the two of us mistakenly thought that Lord Hou and the Dou family were colluding, so we didn't cooperate well with Lord Hou, so we come here to apologize!"
Du He came over with a smile and helped Yang Cheng and Cheng Hongyi up.
"Joining this official now wants to take down Dou Xianren, what will you two do?" Du He asked.
Cheng Hongyi gritted his teeth and said, "I would like to be the pawn of Lord Hou!"
Yang Chengdao: "Let the Hou master order!"
Du He patted the shoulders of the two of them: "Okay, kind, just in time, I have something I want you two to do!"
"Please order, Lord Marquis!"
"No hurry, come here, you're hungry, let's eat vegetables first, this is a hot pot made of ingredients brought by the official from Chang'an, and you can't eat it in the whole Tongzhou!" Du He enthusiastically pulled the two into their seats .
After a meal, Du He called Yang Cheng and Chen Hongyi to a secluded place and made some arrangements.
These two people are completely surrendered.
After leaving the Tongzhou government office, Yang Cheng and Chen Hongyi's backs were covered in cold sweat.
Chen Hongyi asked anxiously: "Master Changshi, have we really decided? If you take this step, you will be standing completely opposite to the Dou family. Du He is the Marquis of Huyi County, supported by Du Xiang, In the worst case, go back to Chang'an, but you and I, I'm afraid we will fall into a place of eternal doom!"

Yang Cheng looked at the sky, and the moon was covered by a dark cloud.
He thought for a while and said, "One cannot live too uselessly in one's life..."
With that said, Yang Cheng left with a shake of his hand.
"Alas!" Chen Hongyi looked at Yang Cheng's leaving back, sighed, and finally got into the carriage.
……
In the backyard of the government office.
Yu Chigong asked curiously: "Nephew, do you really believe these two people? Are you not worried that they are members of the Dou family?"
Du He smiled and waved his hand.
Zhang Jian stepped forward and put two stacks of thick paper on the table.
Yu Chigong opened it curiously, and it turned out to be all about Yang Cheng and Chen Hongyi's situation. Everything about these two people since their birth was recorded clearly and in great detail.
He glanced at Zhang Jian in surprise, and said, "My boy, your subordinates are more powerful than the spies in the army!"
How did he know that Du He hadn't arrived in Tongzhou yet, and the Fangfang people had already arrived one step ahead.
Du He said lightly: "In the spring of the eighth year of Wude, Yang Cheng's younger sister married Dou Aiguang, Dou Aiwei's younger brother, and died suddenly within three months. This matter was aroused at the time, and many people knew about Yang Cheng's younger sister. It's not that he died of illness, but that he was murdered by Mrs. Dou...Yang Cheng knew the truth, and wanted to ask for an explanation, but it was useless, and almost ruined Mrs. Dou's murder, and he has been depressed ever since!"
"As for Chen Hongyi, he is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but because he offended Dou Aiwei during his tenure as Tongzhou Sitian, he will never want to mix with Dou in this life!" Du He continued.
