Dong Yun and Liao Hua really couldn't figure out why the Xinghan Society was so cruel to their own people.
But Huang Tong, the chamberlain who came out of the palace, looked at the corpses and then at the row of big boxes at the door.
His eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, and the look he looked at Zhao Guang became a little subtle.
The way the Xinghan Society dealt with these people may seem a bit rough to some people.
There is even a suspicion that the association’s regulations precede national laws.
The princes of the imperial court may have seen it this way.
But...the emperor may not see it that way.
This is a matter of free conscience.
Because Xinghanhui may have expressed loyalty to the emperor in this way.
This shows what?
In the eyes of Xinghanhui, the emperor is greater than the court?
Thinking of this, Huang Tong's eyes lit up slightly.
As he has always been with the Emperor and Empress, he can naturally make some guesses about the Empress's psychology, which focuses on the Empress.
Thinking of this, Huang Tong couldn't help but sigh:
As expected, Feng Junhou would never betray the trust of the emperor and empress!
Even if the princes of the imperial court had a mortal feud with Lord Feng, it would not be a big deal at all if they had to cling to national laws and conference rules on this matter.
At this sensitive moment, if you show your loyalty to the emperor, even if you suffer a temporary loss, you will definitely take advantage of it in the future.
It is hard to say what will happen to those who prevent Xinghan from expressing their loyalty to the emperor in the future.
Unless there is another prime minister in the court.
But, is it possible?
Besides, the person who did this was Zhao Erlang again.
If someone really insists on insisting on it, what if Zhao Erlang takes all the responsibility?
As long as Feng Junhou does not fall, what can happen to him?
Lose the General again?
More fines?
Who said this matter was done roughly?
This is simply brilliant!
Huang Tong almost cried out in admiration.
Zhao Guang had no intention of caring about what Huang Tong was thinking.
Because he himself couldn't understand what his brother was doing when he ordered him to do these things.
After placing the boxes, he took out a piece of paper and said:
"Gentlemen, this is a member of the association. Before committing suicide, he gave a list of all the people related to this matter."
In fact, when Zhang Xiaosi was dealing with this matter in the early stage, he also had a similar list.
But the list Zhao Guang brought out was obviously much longer than the list Zhang Xiaosi handed over to Liao Hua, Dong Yun and others.
This time, it was Dong Yun's turn not to notice anything, but Liao Hua couldn't help but let out a slight "hiss".
The Xinghan Hui is obviously trying to take matters into a bigger direction!
"The people on the list involve a lot of... Liangzhou's big families."
Liao Hua smiled bitterly and explained to Dong Yun.
Dong Yun said "Oh" and looked at Zhao Guang subconsciously.
Is the Xing Hanhui planning to avenge their private revenge?
But then I thought about it, Xinghanhui has always been the thugs of the imperial court to attack aristocratic families.
What they do is their job.
Realizing this and looking at the corpses on the ground, Dong Yun was horrified. He suddenly understood why these people must be dead.
Everyone involved in this incident in the Xinghan Society is dead, and the wealthy families involved in this incident want to escape without dying?
King Feng Gui... had a premeditated plan!
He was planning to trade the lives of dozens of people from the Prosperous Han Society for the opportunity to attack the wealthy Liangzhou clan!
In other words, he simply took advantage of the situation.
In this way, the imperial court could further strengthen its control over Liangzhou and make up for the lack of suppression of the wealthy families in Liangzhou after King Feng Gui left Liangzhou.
Even this approach can make the emperor feel good:
Where can I find such capable ministers and such loyal Xinghanhui?
This matter was originally detrimental to King Feng Gui and the Xinghan Society, but I didn't expect that they would be counterattacked by this person.
Is he really worthy of being the far-sighted King Feng Gui?
Dong Yun, who had some scruples in his heart, now turned into a deep fear of King Feng Gui.
At this time, Dong Yun finally fully understood why the imperial court and the palace had sent people to Liangzhou together.
Inspection and inspection. Since you are visiting Liangzhou on behalf of the court and the royal family, if you find problems, do you want to deal with them?
I see!
I see!
Originally, he was still thinking that if the three of him came together to deal with the matter of the Xinghan Conference, it would be too much of a mobilization of troops.
Enter his mother's!
It turns out that this is a shocking case!
What Dong Yun is thinking about now is whether his small body can handle this matter?
Where are the aristocratic and wealthy families who are not all on the same page?
Maybe no one dared to say anything about his involvement in this matter at the time, but he was remembered for not being able to protect his body.
King Feng Gui is far-sighted and has the Xinghanhui and the royal family behind him. Of course he is not afraid.
And what about yourself?
He is just a small servant.
Dong Yun licked his chapped lips, and he felt that his inner lining was already wet.
King Feng Gui... really doesn't care about his mother's affairs!
He gritted his teeth secretly again and glanced sideways at Huang Tong.
This eunuch knows everything but says nothing!
Huang Tong glanced at Dong Yun inexplicably.
Our family didn't do anything, so why did we offend you?
"If this matter is not handled well, I'm afraid it will cause turmoil in Liangzhou."
Dong Yun said in a somewhat astringent voice, looking at Liao Hua.
Feng Junhou took away the Liangzhou army. I don’t know if the army left behind in Liangzhou is enough?
If Feng Jishi was still in office, Dong Yun would definitely not have any scruples.
Just his reputation as Governor Feng is enough to suppress most people in Liangzhou, whether they are Hu people or Han people.
But Governor Feng is not here...
Liao Hua frowned.
Seeing his expression, Dong Yun's heart skipped a beat.
Liao Hua turned his attention to Zhao Guang.
Zhao Guang grinned:
"Three thousand armored cavalry have now passed Longyou and will arrive in Liangzhou soon."
How could my brother come to Liangzhou alone without any preparation for a whole month?
Liao Hua and others looked at each other.
really!
No wonder!
King Feng Gui had a profound meaning in sending Zhao Sanqian back.
Dong Yun felt reassured.
Then he glared at Huang Tong again. The emperor must have given orders to King Feng Gui. Otherwise, how could he dare to mobilize the strongest cavalry army back to Liangzhou?
You didn't say a word to me!
If Huang Tong knew what Dong Yun was thinking at this time, he would probably shout that he was wronged:
What did the emperor and the empress have to say to Feng Junhou? How could they tell me about a domestic slave?
Besides, you are a servant and have no other authority. You still want to know the specific mobilization situation of a certain department and battalion of the army ahead?
Do you think you are the Prime Minister?
Liao Hua, on the other hand, was a little emotional.
He is only temporarily in charge of the governorship of Liangzhou, and many matters in Liangzhou have not yet been settled clearly.
Governor Feng, he wants to hand over an easy-to-govern Liangzhou to himself before leaving office!
Liao Hua moved his lips, but finally just glanced at Zhao Guang gratefully.
For things like this, it's better to say thank you in person to show your sincerity.
"If there are armored cavalry here, you don't have to worry too much about this matter."
Liao Hua pondered for a moment and finally accepted the matter.
If you don't even dare to accept this matter, then you probably won't be able to get rid of your temporary title.
"It's just that there are so many things involved in this matter. If we really want to arrest all these people, how to deal with them is a difficult problem."
Liangzhou is already a border state.
Even if they are exiled to the border counties, it is hard to say whether they will suffer or enjoy the blessings of these people in the current border counties.
"Don't worry about this. The Xinghan Society has a mine in Liangzhou, which is specially used for refining sulfur."
"Speaking of which, this mine has something to do with the Liangzhou Army. If the governor's office has no place to detain them, Uncle Liao can put them there and serve as atonement for their sins."
Zhao Guang's handsome face was filled with a bright smile:
"We will follow the market conditions of Nanxiang, and each criminal will pay labor fees to the governor's office on an annual basis. We will give them a few years of their sentence. It is better than locking them up all the time."
Nanxiang and Yuexi were originally experimental areas specially set aside by the Prime Minister.
Nowadays, the governance of many places in Han Dynasty has absorbed the experience of Nanxiang and Yuexi, and at most it can be improved based on the actual local conditions.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for prisoners to serve hard labor to atone for their crimes.
At least it seems to be more tolerant than exile to the borderlands or corporal punishment.
As for where to serve, that's not a matter of a word from the government?
But is Nanxiang's reputation as a mass of ghosts dancing in vain?
I heard that the mines in Nanxiang are haunted by evil spirits.
A strong man who is made of iron can go in, but when he comes out after three years, he will be skinny and bones and can be blown down by a gust of wind.
The ranger who killed without blinking an eye, after coming out from there, became the most law-abiding and good citizen, and did not dare to speak loudly.
Dong Yun felt a little chilly when he looked at Zhao Guang's smile.
King Feng Gui, you are planning to put people to death!
Cruel and ruthless, cruel and merciless, it turns out that there is only the wrong name, not the wrong title.
Dong Yun silently told himself in his heart that he must not offend King Feng Gui in the future unless he had no choice.
Liao Hua himself has never been to Nanxiang.
Although he had heard relevant rumors, he had a filter mentality towards Feng Junhou at this time.
Coupled with the rumors about Feng Junhou in Shu, which one is not an exaggeration?
So he just said that others were slandering him and didn't think much about it at all.
So according to his opinion, it is okay to deal with the people on the list in this way.
At the same time, it can also give Xinghanhui and Feng Junhou some face.
As for what happens to those people in the mine, does it matter?
You are criminals. You don't want to atone for your sins, but you still want to have good food and drink?
He thought for a moment and nodded immediately:
"It's not a bad idea. I wonder if you two have any other ideas?"
Dong Yunzheng was full of thoughts and said nothing.
Huang Tong waited for a while and saw that he didn't speak, so he could only say it himself:
"Before I left, Your Majesty only asked me to see more and listen more, but did not allow me to speak more."
That means it doesn't matter what you do.
Both of them expressed their intention to agree, so Dong Yun would definitely not be able to stand up and protect those people.
He knew how to choose between offending some wealthy families in Liangzhou and offending King Feng Gui and Xinghan Hui.
So the matter was settled.
A few days later, three thousand cavalry crossed Hongchi Ridge and entered Liangzhou.
At the same time, the Liangzhou Governor's Office issued dozens of documents to arrest more people related to the affair outside the Great Wall.
When a powerful clan rebelled, Zhao Guang personally led the cavalry to annihilate the clan.
"Mr. Zhang, Gong Zhang, please save our lives!"
Suddenly, there were many more people in the Zhang family in Dunhuang.
Even the elders of the Zhang family's side sects came to the clan's house in person and spoke condescendingly to Zhang Zuo, who had returned from the Western Regions:
"Bo Zheng, we were too old and confused to understand your painstaking efforts before. Now we realize that you are doing this for the good of our Zhang family."
How many wealthy families in Liangzhou are clean about such things as liaison outside the Great Wall, plundering border counties, and massacring border residents?
When Secretary Zhang was dealing with people from the Zhang family, Zhang returned from the Western Regions and expressed support for Secretary Zhang on the spot.
Many people in the Zhang family complained because Zhang actually asked the government for help in order to secure his position as head of the family.
Using official power to interfere in family affairs is really against everyone's taboo.
Especially for those whose family members had sons and nephews implicated in it and were arrested, there were even those who relied on their seniority to criticize and criticize Huai.
Unexpectedly, this matter is not over yet?
The entire families of two local wealthy families were wiped out in succession, which made many people panic and at the same time cursed endlessly:
It's unethical!
Why is Liu Han so unethical!
When you first took over Liangzhou, everyone didn't object, right?
Now that you have just established a firm foothold, are you doing this?
Some people want to connect in series, but suddenly find that the people who used to share the same hatred seem to be somewhat divided.
Those who were not involved were those who just refused to answer directly.
This, that, it's state-owned and it's law. Since everyone can make a lot of money by abiding by the law, why bother engaging in those evil ways?
As your grandma, you have a workshop, so of course you would say so!
Scolding is enough, but scolding cannot solve the problem.
After looking around, I found that I still had to find the one with the oldest surname in Liangzhou.
After several months of recuperation, Zhang finally regained some of his demeanor as a member of aristocratic families.
His hair and beard were neatly trimmed, and he was dressed in a brocade robe. As soon as he sat there, he showed his magnanimity.
Youyou took a sip of tea from the tea cup, turned a deaf ear to the noise outside the door, and then said to his uncles:
"I can't write two characters in one stroke. As a descendant of the Zhang family and the head of the family, how could I harm the Zhang family?"
enter……
Pooh!
It was you old guys who started shouting about who you wanted to join?
Come on, say something again and I'll listen.
"Yes, yes, Bo Zheng is taking a long-term view. Who would have thought that the rumors were true? That King Feng Gui is so cruel..."
"Uncle, be careful what you say!"
Zhang shouted loudly.
"Oh, I'm confused, I'm so confused!"
The old man apologized again and again, and then looked at Zhang Jiu hopefully:
"Bo Zheng, look, what should we do with our Shiro? He is the most promising person in our room..."
He didn’t even raise his eyelids:
"Whatever the government says, let's do it. Of course, if my uncle thinks he can compete with the armored cavalry, then just hide him."
The most promising?
The current disaster was caused by him. How can he still make a difference?
The most short-sighted thing!
First, some of the Zhang family's great leaders acted for great righteousness, and then some of them themselves led the way to the Western Regions.
As long as the Zhang family obediently abides by their agreement with Feng Junhou, the descendants of the Zhang family can still be wealthy for three to five generations, even if they have no future prospects.
Need other means?
do you need?!
It would be best if all of these most promising ones died.
So as not to bring any more disaster to the Zhang family.
Zhang didn't even look at the pleading expressions of his uncles, and sneered to himself:
"Now the Han Dynasty has not only regained Guanzhong, but also Bingzhou and Hedong."
"Liangzhou can raise horses, can Jiuyuan and Yanmen do it? Liangzhou can raise sheep and open workshops to weave wool, can Jiuyuan and Yanmen do it?"
"You don't want to consolidate Liangzhou's current status, but you secretly do things that make the court disgusted. Is it because you think your life has been too good in the past few years?"
Having said this, Zhang stood up suddenly and said word by word:
