Although the Dong family in Quanzhou is known as Dongbancheng, the Dong family mansion is not in the city, but is built not far from the Quanzhou port, which is convenient for the Dong family to go to the dock to receive goods. After all, the Dong family's business is too big. Sometimes, the ordinary ships near the entire port have some light or dark relationships with their family, and there are hundreds of ships directly under their family.

Dong Qing started to get involved in family business since he was a child. When he was twenty-four years old, nearly half of the family business was handed over to him. He also started a family and started a business, with a gentle and beautiful wife and a pair of children. He was proud of his family and career. Even when the Quanzhou magistrate met him, he would treat him with courtesy.

However, four years ago, the Dong family gathered in the Dong family's mansion to prepare for the New Year. Moreover, because of the New Year, most of the friends and shopkeepers and others in the family also had holidays. However, what the Dong family did not expect was that on the New Year's Eve, a group of masked thieves suddenly entered the Dong family, and the other party killed everyone when they saw it. Obviously not for the sake of wealth. In the end, all 57 people in the Dong family were killed. Then the thieves set off a fire and burned the entire Dong family's mansion.

"At that time, the villain was chopped three times, and the swords were all on the vital point. The villain thought he was dead, but he didn't expect that a loyal servant betrayed his life out of the sea of ​​fire by his side, and then fled to a fishing village by the sea to recover from the wounds. Finally, he was unconscious for several days before he could save his life, but... but..."

When Dong Qing said this, he tore open his clothes and exposed several knife wounds on his chest. He continued with hoarse and tears: "But when the villain woke up, he wanted to find the murderer to avenge his family, he found that our Dong family's business was quickly swallowed up. In just a few days, all the business at sea changed hands, and the government did not intervene at all. With the villain's knowledge, it is naturally possible to see that there must be high-ranking officials from the government behind them, which makes the villain dare not report the case, so as not to be silenced!"

"What a courage!" Li Zhang was so angry that his face turned pale when he heard this. Although the public security of the Song Dynasty could not be compared with later generations, life lawsuits are still not trivial, not to mention that ordinary officials could not cover up the family slaughter lawsuits that had died dozens of people, unless the other party had a huge force behind it.

"Later, the villain recovered and then he secretly asked someone to inquire. As I expected, such a big tragedy occurred in my family, but the government just closed the case by accident and did not file a case at all. My family's business was all divided by a group of Hu merchants from the Western Regions. And I can be sure that the person who killed my whole family was these Hu merchants!" When Dong Qing said this, a ferocious expression appeared on his face, as if he thought of the tragic situation of his family being killed.

"Hu Shang? Are there many Hu Shangs in Quanzhou? How could they have such a great force to annex the property of your Dong family at once?" Li Zhang suddenly asked when he heard this. He was not very interested in this case, mainly because he wanted to ask about Dong Qing some things and then hand over his case to others. But now that he heard that this case was related to Hu Shang, his interest was also raised.

Dong Qing, who was very sad and angry, was stunned when he heard Li Zhang's question, but he immediately replied: "Quanzhou is a large port second only to Guangzhou. Many merchants from the Western Regions and South China Sea will go to Quanzhou to do business. Many have settled in Quanzhou since the Tang Dynasty. They mainly do maritime trade business and are competitors with us, but they are far less than the business of our Dong family. I didn't expect that they would destroy our Dong family in a crazy way!"

"Why are you so sure that Hu Shang's actions were done?" Li Zhang thought for a moment and then asked again.

Dong Qing said excitedly again: "When the villain was injured by the thief that day, he once heard the thief say great food. Although the villain's business was destroyed, there was still some power and relationships left. It was through these forces and relationships that I also found several big cannibals who might have participated in the destruction of my whole family. Later, I secretly grabbed a few tortures and forced confessions, and finally pried open a person's mouth. The other party admitted that the person who instructed them was the Hu merchants who divided my business, and I also forced him to write a blood letter!"

When Dong Qing said this, he took out a blood book from his arms and presented it to Li Zhang and said, "After obtaining this blood book, the news that I was still alive was leaked, and he was chased by countless people, and all the people around me were killed and injured. In desperation, I could only fight to the death and came to the capital alone to file a lawsuit, but Dengwen Guyuan did not accept my lawsuit at all. Instead, he drove me out. In desperation, he stopped the Marquis' carriage and asked the Marquis to forgive him!"

At this time, Li Zhang took the blood book and looked at it. He found that it was indeed a confession written in blood. He explained the story of this man and dozens of other people to destroy the entire Dong family and the mastermind behind it. However, the handwriting of the blood book was sloppy and ugly, and some places also carried the characters of Dashi. Obviously, the other party's Chinese characters were written very average.

After reading this blood book, Li Zhang also showed a mysterious smile on his face, because he found that his luck was really good. He actually had a pillow sent by someone when he was sleepy. He had decided on this case!

"By the way, there are so many officials in the capital, why did you come to stop my carriage?" Li Zhang suddenly asked again.

Hearing Li Zhang's question, Dong Qing showed a sad and angry expression again, but then he turned helplessly: "I'm not hiding it from the Marquis, the villain has been in the capital for several months. He was driven out of the Dengwen Guyuan before, and the villain was already penniless. He had been begging all the way to the capital, and he had no place to stay in the capital, so he could only wander around and beg for information about the capital, and wanted to find another way to avenge his family, so he heard that he blocked the official's carriage and shouted for justice."

When he said this, Dong Qing paused for a moment, then said again: "The villain first wanted to stop Mr. Lu's carriage, but he couldn't get close at all. Later, he wanted to stop the carriage of several other husbands, but he could either not get close or he ignored him. Until a few days ago, I heard that Mr. Dingbei was His Majesty's cousin and was deeply trusted by His Majesty, so I thought of stopping your carriage. The villain has been guarding near your mansion since five days ago, and it was not until today that I finally found an opportunity!"
