Chapter 154 The righteous noble clan, Julu Tianfeng
In the Zhending County Office today, in the name of the Zhending County Magistrate, the three largest wealthy families in Zhending County, Youwang, Guo and Cheng, were invited to come to the county office for a banquet to meet Mu Shou.
Xianghe Changshan King.
The county magistrate summoned him, and there were also three nobles sitting here. Naturally, the heads of the three wealthy families could not refuse, so they each carried three heavy gifts and went to the county office to attend the banquet in person.
After everyone met, the powerful heads of the three households praised the three nobles headed by Liu Jian, and then presented them with heavy gifts, showing their respect.
After they were seated, the Zhending County magistrate arranged a banquet and entertained the guests with singing and dancing.
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food will be served.
Liu Jian suddenly raised his hand to indicate that he had something to say.
The magistrate of Zhending hurriedly clapped his hands, and the singers and dancers in the performance hall temporarily retreated.
Afterwards, only a group of nobles led by the state pastor Liu Jian were left in the hall.
In the hall, Liu Jian looked at everyone present with a smile on his face and said:
Cheng Pu immediately led the people into the hall and took the heads of the three wealthy families down.
Liu Jian asked the Changshan County Magistrate to invite them to a banquet, but secretly sent troops to steal their lair?
"Only 300 people are still alive. The army they paraded in front of me, your Majesty, and the Prime Minister was all for the purpose of defrauding the prefectures and counties of grain, armor, ordnance and other supplies. If the prefectures and prefectures' baggage is really determined, 30% of it will be used to accommodate the families of the rebels who died.
, Seventy percent should be given to the county king and the three father-in-laws who conspired to defraud the army that day,"
Liu Jian waved his hand and ordered Cheng Pu outside the hall: "Go down and take him into prison! I will not hold you accountable until I have all the evidence in order!"
"I have also thought about this matter. If I can really lead Jizhou, I will not be afraid. But now, I have only been in Jizhou for a short time, so I still need to be cautious. Since I have killed the three great lords of Zhending this time,
Then naturally we have to find a way to appease the nearby tycoons."
With a crisp sound, Liu Jian pulled out the sword from his waist and threw it in front of the Zhending County Magistrate.
"Now among these ten wooden boxes is the number of supplies received written by the widow of Qianhu rebels in Zhending County."
He is trying his best today so that he can use this method more skillfully in the future when he becomes the overlord of a party.
"Now you have the nerve to complain! If I were you, I would cut out my heart, liver, spleen, and lungs one by one to see what color they are! See how rotten they are!!"
"It is true that many of them cannot write, so the clerks in Prime Minister Sun's palace wrote the records on their behalf. After verification, the three schools signed and deposited the records."
When Liu Hao heard this, he was not excited at all.
Cheng's father-in-law smiled and said, "Uncle Fang is polite to you, and we will definitely take it seriously."
Liu Jian looked at Liu Hao and said: "Your Majesty, hiding the Han army ordnance will bring disaster to the family. The belongings of the three wealthy families in Wubao can be paid to the king in sufficient quantity, so that the king will not suffer any losses."
Zhending County Magistrate looked at Liu Jian with despair and said: "Uncle Fang, I, I? I know the crime! I was confused for a while and was deceived by the bad guys..."
Looking at the puzzled eyes of Sanhao's father-in-law and the Lord of Zhending County, Liu Jian said calmly: "Here, there is a handwritten letter from Zhao Jun confessing his crime. Zhao Jun said that the two thousand rebels had been there a few months ago.
Died heroically while fighting against the Yellow Turbans,"
Liu Jian said calmly: "You are also an official of Qianshi after all, and you are promoted to be a filial and honest person. Once the incident here comes out, it will destroy not only you, but also your descendants."
"Secondly, if all the property of these three families is confiscated, it will naturally arouse the vigilance and dissatisfaction of other powerful families in Changshan and the neighboring Julu County. Therefore, I have thought about it and decided that the private property of the three families should be divided among the king.
One copy will be confiscated by the government, and the rest of the farmland and mansions can be sold to the wealthy people in the two counties at a low price, so that there will be no changes in the families of Changshan and Julu."
Liu Jian winked, and Cheng Pu immediately followed.
"Plop!"
"Deran, there is something you have thought about?"
"You, you! You actually used this despicable method to take away my family!"
They don't think they have done anything wrong. In their view, the rebels are all pariahs who deserve to die and be exploited by them. This is a concept that has been fixed in their minds for many years.
When Liu Jian said this, he saw the head of the Zhending Wang family and got up angrily and said angrily: "Uncle Fang, this is wrong! This is clearly Zhao Jun and a group of unruly bandits, attacking the county king and us.
If you are making false accusations, I ask Uncle Fang to make a clear decision and clear my name!"
The face of Zhending County Magistrate showed despair.
"Haha, when death is imminent, you are still bluffing."
"So, I think, the crime of Zhen Dingcheng, Guo, and Wang clans this time must be serious. At least they must be charged with the crime of secretly hiding government weapons, imprisoning the three clans, and confiscating all their property. It can be said that
Shocking.”
When the three family members heard this, they all turned pale with shock.
"In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they lost their husbands, fathers and children, and all the men in their families died on the battlefield. Look at you again. There is no shortage of people or food, but you are all hiding in Wubao and watching from the sidelines. In the end, you shamelessly pick up what is already available.
?”
Liu Jian smiled faintly: "Both and each other, Liu's move is just fighting fire with fire... By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. The 70% of the baggage that was divided by you before, all the ordnance made in it, regardless of
Whether it is a spear or a ring-headed sword, there is a small "red" character stamped on the end, which is the official ordnance of my great Han Dynasty."
The father-in-law of the Guo family didn't even glance at the slips on the ground. He shook off his sleeves and stood up, cupping his hands in front of Liu Jian and saying, "Uncle Fang, there are some trivial matters in the Guo clan. It's not convenient for me to stay with you here. I'll take my leave the next day."
If you have free time, you may invite Uncle Fang to your home to chat with you."
Liu Jian nodded.
Later, Liu Jian picked up the slips one by one and threw them one by one in front of the Zhending County Magistrate and three family members.
"Today, the county magistrate hosted a banquet, and the three masters congratulated each other with gifts. Mr. Liu did not want to thank you, so he specially prepared a return gift. I would like to ask you to take it for yourself. Please don't despise it."
"Crack!"
That crisp sound was shocking.
"Uncle Fang! Please forgive me this time, Uncle Fang!"
Most of the private slave farmers in Wubao had gone to work in the fields at this moment. At this time, Wubao was neglected and there was no one there. Naturally, it was impossible to prevent Liu Jian's sudden attack.
Liu Hao sighed: "Jizhou is different from other states. There are many prominent families and right-wing families, and they are intertwined with each other. When the Three Mutual Laws were established, You, the chiefs of the two states of Hebei were 'short and unable to make up for it.' Today, although you have gained both people and stolen goods, you can still establish
I really want to punish these three powerful families, but I am afraid that the famous families in Changshan and the neighboring Julu area will be unwilling to accept it, and they will at least try to create a gap between them, and they will even start a quarrel because of this matter."
The father-in-law of the Guo family stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Jian, his voice trembling, as if he could no longer control his emotions.
Sun Jin on the side touched his chin and said: "Uncle Fang's method is indeed feasible, but there needs to be a person who is well-known in Jizhou and deeply trusted by all tribes to guide Uncle Fang and the tycoons from all over the country."
When I opened the wooden box, I found that it was full of slips and slips, but I didn't know what was inside.
Liu Jian stood up slowly, came to the ten wooden boxes, casually took out a scroll of slips from it, and sighed: "You still haven't confessed until now. Do you have to wait until the knife is put on your neck?"
, are you willing to submit to the law?"
Therefore, he can only use a tactic that has been continuously improved by the world for more than two thousand years and has been tried and tested repeatedly.
"Divide it and eat it?" Sun Jin on the side suddenly realized when he heard this, and he felt admiration for Liu Jian in his heart.
"Although your crime is unforgivable, considering that we are colleagues, I will not announce your crime to the public, which can be regarded as preserving dignity for you and your descendants. You can take a sword and commit suicide in the backyard of the county office."
Liu Jian shook his head and said coldly: "The matter has come to this, and the crime is unforgivable. This is the best choice I can give you. At least your descendants will not be affected by what you have done today."
In fact, Liu Jian was unwilling to split up the three industries together with the tycoons of Changshan Kingdom and Julu County. However, before he had enough strength to deal with the local tycoons, this was an opportunity for him to take action against the tyrants while not
It will provoke other right-wing methods.
Lord Zhending County sat there, trembling all over.
Sun Jin and Changshan King Liu Hao, who had been watching Liu Jian deal with Zhending County Magistrate, both turned pale and did not say a word.
The bamboo slips fell on the desk and made a crisp sound.
Win over a group of people, divide a group of people, suppress a group of people, and gradually eliminate factionalism.
The Wang family and the Cheng family also stood up and saluted Liu Jian with indifferent expressions to say goodbye.
At the end, Liu Jian's voice became louder and his words became sharper.
Zhending County Magistrate looked at Liu Jian blankly, then picked up his sword and stumbled towards the backyard of the county office.
The father-in-law of the Guo family was still dying at this moment. He shouted at Liu Jian: "Uncle Fang, don't you know that the land of Jizhou is not comparable to ordinary states and counties. How can you treat us like this and spread the news? How can the wealthy families in the counties sit back and watch?"
ignore!?"
Liu Jian clapped his hands and saw two servants carrying ten wooden boxes into the hall.
"It's fine if Liu cannot be found in your homes. If he is found, please explain to me why weapons bearing the official seal of the Han Dynasty appear in large numbers in your homes."
In the fort.”
They never expected that Liu Jian would learn about the case after just one meal, and he would do it so brilliantly!
Liu Jian laughed when he heard this.
When Wang's father-in-law heard this, he fell down on the spot, trembling uncontrollably, and his body was already a little wet.
The powerful Uburg manor in these places was closed in time of war and was as strong and difficult to attack as a city. But on weekdays, it was like an ordinary farm. Without the order of the father-in-law, there was no defense at all.
Even if he knew the truth before, Liu Jian kept it secret and still ordered people to purchase military supplies with the Zhen family. It was not until the supplies entered the private residences of three powerful families in Wupu and Zhending County that Liu Jian suddenly took action.
And it will hit with one hit! The opponent will have no room for comeback.
Not long after, Cheng Pu returned to Liu Jian and told him that the magistrate of Zhending had committed suicide with his sword.
However, the three wealthy family members were relatively calm.
"What did the king say?"
"Take a good look at the widows and families of these rebels, and see how they lived their lives,"
On the contrary, both he and Sun Jin had worried looks on their faces.
When he finished speaking, Liu Jian waved his hand and threw the scroll directly onto the table in front of Wang's family.
A mocking smile appeared on Liu Jian's face: "What's the hurry? You might as well tell some wise men that my Sima Xurong has already transferred soldiers from Julu and Anping counties to Wu, the three of them.
The fort is searching for evidence. It is estimated that by this time, the princes will have entered the Wu fort. You three might as well wait and sit down for a while. After a while, there will be a judgment."
Liu Jian asked: "Does Prime Minister Sun have a suitable person to recommend to me?"
Sun Jin said: "Yes!"
"Who?"
"There was a man of the Julutian family who was highly regarded by the officials of various counties. In the past, he was recruited by the Taiwei Mansion and promoted as a talented person. He served as a censor, but later abandoned his official position and returned home. It is said that he was upright and upright, and he was easy to offend when he spoke upright.
My surname is Tian Feng, if this person can help me, this matter will definitely happen."
