Chapter 487 The home of the thatched chauffeur
The housekeeper told the reason for the revenge, and everyone present was surprised that it was unimaginable that there would be such a coachman.
From ancient times to the present, no matter which dynasty, as long as rich families can afford a car, they will basically buy one for their own families to use. If the conditions are better, they will hire a car driver.
Especially those with better families, such as those present, can be regarded as wealthy and decent people of this era. Each of them has a carriage and a coachman in their homes.
Houses, fields, shops, and carriages are the standard configurations for successful people in the Tang Dynasty, especially carriages. The more decent people are, the more they pay attention to carriages.
Dong Chao was born in a family of officials, so he certainly had high requirements for carriages. After all, not everyone can visit his house. No one knows how beautiful his house is. And he can't tell anyone how much land, how many shops, and how big the business is.
So where is his decency reflected? It is basically reflected in the car, so Dong Chao's carriage is very beautiful, which can be said to have reached the highest level of a rich man at his level!
The carriage that Dong Chao used to use when he went out was actually destroyed by his coachman, which made the carriage no longer available.
I guess when Dong Chao uses this carriage again, he will think of the slutty appearance of the coachman in the carriage. Even if the smell on it has been eliminated, he probably thinks he can smell it when he is riding the carriage!
In this case, the carriage must have been thrown away by him. He just drove the driver away. This is a kind approach. If he asks the driver to lose money, it will really kill the driver.
I guess even if the driver was killed and sold meat, the money for selling meat would probably not be enough to pay for the carriage two wheels.
Dong Chao drove away the coachman, which was actually equivalent to ruining the coachman's job. However, from Dong Chao's perspective, he did nothing wrong with doing this. Even if others came to see this matter, he did nothing wrong.
So this matter can only be considered a normal thing for the boss to fire a long-term worker. Dong Chao, the boss, suffered some losses. After all, he will definitely not use the carriage again. If the carriage is sold to someone else, it will be a bit unbearable for an official family like Dong Chao. Dong Chao thinks this is a scam, and the housekeeper said that the final outcome of the carriage is to be chopped as firewood.
In fact, Dong Chao suffered a loss in the whole matter. After all, he lost a valuable carriage, and the coachman was only driven away by him, and he did not report the official to ask the coachman to compensate. From the perspective of the boss and the perspective of everyone present, Dong Chao has already done quite kindness.
If someone else had changed to someone else and wouldn't get out of bed for two months without the coachman being beaten for two months, that would have been considered very kind.
Li Rizhi said: "I have seen the scene, so I will not wait here. Now I will go back to the governor's yamen. After the coachman named Mao was caught, he can just take it into the governor's yamen. I wonder if he has escaped. If he can't catch him at this time tomorrow, then I will go back to Qianfeng County and make a fuss after I catch this person!"
Li Rizhi could not stay in Yanzhou Prefecture City. If the coachman named Mao had already run away, it would be very troublesome to arrest him. Maybe he would not be able to catch him for ten days or half a month, so he could not stay here forever and had to go back to Qianfeng County to deal with the matters in this county.
After hearing this, Cheng Zizai said, "Senior Brother, just wait in the governor's office. I'll go there in person to see if I can catch that person as fast as possible!"
Li Rizhi said: "You have to be careful. This person is an extremely dangerous person. He should not care about anything. Kill one is enough, killing two can earn one. So, if you encounter him, be careful!"
Cheng Zizai said, "I understand, I will definitely not be careless!"
After saying that, Cheng Zizai brought a few constables from Qianfeng County and a servant from the Dong family, asking the servants of the Dong family to lead the way and rushed to the coachman's house named Mao.
Li Rizhi returned to the governor's yamen with everyone, and several brothers from the Dong family also followed. These people have always revealed their ideas of wanting to make friends with Li Rizhi, but Li Rizhi did not refuse and talked with several people about how to deal with Dong Chao's case. If the file was sent to Chang'an, how long would Chang'an respond to it, and other topics.
Cheng Zizai and a few constables rushed to the home of the coachman named Mao. The coachman's home was still a distance from the Dong family. The Dong family lived in a wealthy area in the city. Of course, the coachman's home lived in a slum, but the coachman's home was in a slum, so it should be considered a very decent family.
Judging from the conditions of the chaser's family, it is estimated that Dong Chao gave him a lot of wages before, so the chaser's life is one of the best among the people of the same level as him.
I saw that the coachman's home was an independent two-story wooden building without a yard. The exterior of the wooden building was painted black, and there were some wooden houses with similar appearances next to it, but they were not painted. In terms of appearance, the coachman's small wooden building was the most decent and had the largest area.
At this time, the door of the wooden building was opened, and someone was talking inside. Cheng Zizai looked inside and saw Wang Pinsi.
Wang Juansi was getting angry in the small wooden building, and the old coachman was kneeling on the ground inside the room. Specifically, he should not be kneeling but lying down. The old coachman was so scared that he couldn't even kneel.
Before Cheng Zizai entered the door, he heard Wang Pinsi's roar and shouted angrily: "You old guy, are you still thinking about protecting the murderer? It was because you were talking to him that he ran to kill. He is the main culprit and you are the accomplice!
If he runs away, then you will bear all the blame. Your head is not enough to pay Dong Chao's life. You have to kill your whole family. Do you want to say it now?
You said, "Will you tell me where the murderer ran? If you don't tell me, take you away now!"
The old coachman was so scared that he collapsed on the ground like mud. His whole body was trembling and he couldn't even say a complete sentence. But it seemed that he probably didn't know where the coachman had gone, otherwise he would have said it at this time!
Cheng Zizai walked into the room and said, "The coachman has escaped, right? When did he escape?"
Wang Juansi looked at Cheng Zizai. He felt a little embarrassed. His fierce look just now was actually seen by his colleagues!
He said, "This old guy seems to want to cover up the murderer. He didn't know what he said. I've asked him just now when the murderer escaped. He didn't say anything. He asked him where the murderer had fled. He still didn't say anything. Anyway, he just said nothing!
It seems that I really want to take it back to the yamen and beat him up. At that time, he still has a stubborn mouth!"
Chapter completed!
