Chapter six hundred and seventy first forge a beam
A government official came out from among the government officials, looked at Guan Jun and others, and then looked at the military card in his hand, and said: "It turns out to be General Guan, disrespect, disrespect! In the lower county, thieves are arresting Wang Tong. I heard that it's General Guan."
There was a fight with weapons and a life-and-death lawsuit here, so I brought the government officials here to arrest the bandits."
"How presumptuous, who do you think is a thief!" One of Guan Jun's cronies pointed at the government official opposite and shouted sternly.
The thief catcher is a county official, equivalent to the head catcher, and is responsible for arresting thieves.
Wang Tong, who was opposite, smiled, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know if General Guan is here. It's a misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding!"
Guan Jun said impatiently: "Since it is a misunderstanding, take your people back. We also have to leave the city and return to the military camp." yyls
Wang Tong said: "General Guan can't leave the city yet."
"What?"
"I have to trouble General Guan to accompany the official to the county government." Wang Tong said helplessly: "After all, there is a life case. If the official just lets General Guan go, he will not be able to go back and explain to the county magistrate."
The confidant who just spoke raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wang Tong, are you going to arrest us now?"
Wang Tong waved his hands repeatedly and said with an apologetic smile: "Don't misunderstand me. I have no intention of arresting you. I just hope that you will go to the county government with me and explain the whole matter to the county magistrate."
Guan Jun raised the corner of his mouth and asked word for word: "If we don't go with you, what will happen to the king's thieves?"
"This..." Wang Tong was speechless for a moment.
There were lives in the gambling den, and not just one or two people died. For such a big thing, he would never let Guan Jun and others go, but if the other party acted mischievously and refused to follow him, he would really
There is nothing you can do.
Just when Wang Tong was in a dilemma, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd around him. Then, the crowd of onlookers separated to the left and right, and a group of people walked out from behind the crowd. The leader was a man in his thirties wearing official uniform.
He was old, handsome, and had delicate features. When he saw this man, Wang Tong was shocked. He hurriedly stepped forward, came to the man, bowed and saluted, and said, "I am Wang Tong, please pay my respects to the Governor of Kou!"
The person who came out of the crowd was Kou Xun, who was transferred to Yingchuan not long ago and served as the prefect. Kou Xun knew Wang Tong, and he also knew Guan Jun. Kou Xun first waved his hand to Wang Tong, indicating that he would excuse himself.
Then he raised his eyes to look at Guan Jun and said: "General Guan!"
Seeing Kou Xun, Guan Jun's heart was shocked, he cupped his hands and said, "Prefect Kou!"
Kou Xun stared at Guan Jun. After a while, he slowly asked: "Guan Jun, was it you who was fighting in the casino just now?"
"Yes...it's the last general!"
"And it hurt people's lives?"
Guan Jun was shaken and said hurriedly: "It was the people in the gambling den who made the first move. The general was forced to fight back. He accidentally missed and killed several people by mistake."
He could ignore Wang Tong, a nobody, but he did not dare to neglect Kou Xun.
First of all, Kou Xun's rank was higher than him. Secondly, Kou Xun had a very high prestige both in the army and in the officialdom. He was also one of the emperor's favorites. No matter how courageous Guan Jun was, he would not be able to stand up to Kou Xun.
Converge.
Kou Xun looked at Guan Jun for a while, and then said to a follower beside him: "Bring out the people in the gambling hall and confront them face to face."
"Yes! Sir!" All the followers agreed. Before they could walk into the gambling hall, a dozen big men in the gambling hall had already ran out. When people saw Kou Xun, as if they had found a backbone, they started to rush in front of him.
Kneel down and kowtow.
The big men told Kou Xun the whole story with tears and snot in their noses.
Kou Xun had high prestige and was respected by all religions and people. These big men were all thugs in the casino. To put it bluntly, they were ruffians and scoundrels. However, in front of Kou Xun, they did not dare to lie or add jealousy.
After listening to the cries of these big men, Kou Xun turned to look at Guan Jun and asked: "Guan Jun, are they telling the truth?"
At this time, Guan Jun lowered his head, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He grinned secretly, it was not good for him to meet anyone, so why did he meet Kou Xun? In the whole Yingchuan, the one he was most afraid of was this Kou
Prefect.
He pondered for a moment, knelt down on the ground with a bang, and said: "This time, this time... the general was wrong..."
Kou Xun asked expressionlessly: "Do you know where you went wrong?"
"The last general, the last general should not hurt others..."
"For you, it is wartime and you gather for gambling during the war. This is one of the biggest mistakes. As a pioneer in the army, you do not hesitate to gamble your own weapons at the gambling table. This is the second big mistake.
. Acting on impulse, disregarding human life, and killing innocent people indiscriminately are the third big mistake. Guan Jun, can you plead guilty?" Kou Xun listed the mistakes Guan Jun made one by one.
Guan Jun, who was kneeling on the ground, was sweating profusely, his body was shaking, and he stammered: "The last general...the last general has confessed his crime! Please also ask Kou Prefect to spare his life for Zhi Jinwu's sake..."
...Please spare me this time!"
On the battlefield, Guan Jun feared neither heaven nor earth, even if there were thousands of enemy troops. Guan Jun should have galloped straight in. But in front of Kou Xun, Guan Jun was really frightened. He trembled and begged, and even moved Jia Fu out.
Kou Xun remained expressionless and said: "I can spare you, but the national law cannot spare you." As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted: "Wang Tong, take down Guan Jun and others!"
Wang Tong shook his body, grinned secretly, and whispered: "Sir, this...this..."
Kou Xun glanced at him, and Wang Tong suddenly trembled. Without another word, he waved to the surrounding government officials and strode towards Guan Jun and others.
Guan Jun said anxiously: "Prefect Kou..."
"Take it!" Kou Xun shouted firmly.
Wang Tong and other officials took out ropes and tied Guan Jun and his party tightly by their shoulders and backs.
Kou Xun looked at Guan Jun and others who were tied up, and said in a deep voice: "Guan Jun, the culprit, is lawless, disregards human life, and hurts many lives. His crime is unforgivable. He should be punished on the spot to serve as a warning to others!"
, thrown into jail and tried separately!”
This time there was no need for Wang Tong and other county officials to take action. The county officials brought by Kou Xun walked up to Guan Jun and pulled him out from the crowd.
Guan Jun's face turned pale and he said urgently: "Kou Taishou, the last general will be the vanguard of Jinwu's account!"
Kou Xun said categorically: "Even if I am in Yangzhai now, if you commit such a serious crime, I will not be able to spare you!"
Guan Jun trembled, his tone softened, and he said with a cry and choked up: "Kou Taishou, I will follow Your Majesty in the end, and fight from Hebei to Henan, and from Henan to Jingzhou and Yuzhou. Even if there is no credit, there is still hard work...
"
Before he could finish his words, Kou Xun stepped forward, pointed at He Guan Jun, hating him for not being strong, and said angrily: "As His Majesty's beloved general, you should clean yourself up, assist His Majesty, and recover."
The foundation of the Han Dynasty! But what about you? You are lawless, disregard human life, and commit crimes in public. You are trying to bring the disaster of Nanyang to Yingchuan to repeat it!"
Hearing this, Guan Jun lowered his head. On the battlefield, a man who never shed a tear no matter how badly he was injured began to cry bitterly. Kou Xun's eye circles were also red, and he turned around and waved his sleeves.
Said: "Behead! Decide!"
The county officials looked at each other in shock. One of the officials stepped out, drew out his sword from his ribs, pointed it at Guan Jun's neck, and slashed with his sword.
Guan Jun's cronies were tied up and kneeling aside, crying into a ball.
Kou Xun and Liu Xiu have different personalities. Liu Xiu's personality is gentle, and he also has the problem of protecting his shortcomings. If his subordinates make mistakes, when they come to him, he will not kill those who deserve to be killed, but he will punish those who deserve to be punished lightly, or
Just don't punish him.
Wu Han made such a big mistake in Nanyang and even massacred Xinye City, but Liu Xiu only verbally expressed his indignation and dissatisfaction with Wu Han's actions, but there was no actual punishment at all.
If Wu Han's reputation in Nanyang was not so bad that he could not lead the Southern Expedition Army to continue fighting in Nanyang, Liu Xiu probably would not have changed his commander before the battle and asked Cen Peng to replace Wu Han.
But Kou Xun was different. He was really able to make up his mind to be selfless and strict with the law.
Moreover, Kou Xun knew very well that the world had been in chaos for so long, and countless people had died of starvation and disasters of war. The world urgently needed a kind and gentle emperor.
But the emperor can be kind and gentle, which is a blessing to the people of the world, but these ministers must not be like this. If they all imitate the emperor, they will not kill those who deserve to be killed, and will not punish those who deserve to be punished. The country will not have national laws, and the family will not be able to do so.
Without family rules, wouldn’t the world become even more chaotic?
It is true that Guan Jun is a meritorious minister. He was born in Benming and followed His Majesty in the north and south. In every battle, he took the lead and was at the forefront.
But this time he went too far, and he committed the murder in public. Even if Kou Xun wanted to, he couldn't protect him.
The lessons learned from Nanyang are still fresh in our minds, and Yingchuan under his rule must not repeat the same mistakes as Nanyang. Kou Xun killed Guan Jun not because he had no sense of loyalty and was completely unkind, but because he had to do it.
The news that Guan Jun was killed in Yangdi was soon reported to Jia Fu who was walking behind by the soldiers of the front army.
Hearing this, Yin Shi suspected that he had heard wrongly. He looked at the soldiers who came to report the news, and said with a stern face: "You are so brave, you dare to lie and report that General Guan was killed by the Kou Prefect!"
The soldier who reported the news fell to his knees with a bang and burst into tears. As he cried, he said: "You little man... I dare not lie. General... General, he was really killed by the Kou governor..."
Bang! Before Yin Shi could say anything, there was a loud noise from behind. Jia Fu jumped up from the table. He walked around the table and walked up to the soldier who reported the news. He grabbed him by the collar and asked: "
Is everything you said true?"
"Yes...yes, villain...it's all true!"
Jia Fu stared at the soldier for a moment and pushed him away. At this time, Jia Fujun's face was ferocious, and fire was about to burst out of his eyes. Guan Jun was his favorite general, and he was the one he single-handedly promoted.
He charged into the battle and captured the city. Guan Jun had made countless contributions in the army, but he was beheaded by Kou Xun just because he killed a few scoundrels? This is simply unreasonable. Kou Xun was bullying others too much!
Jia Fu gritted his teeth and squeezed out one sentence at a time: "Kou Xun and I are incompatible! If I see him, I will take his head! To avenge Guan Jun's murder.
!”
Kou Xun killed Guan Jun, and the relationship with Jia Fu was thus forged. Kou Xun and Jia Fu were both ministers of Liu Xiu. They had a good relationship before, but this time, their relationship changed.
The relationship took a turn for the worse.
First of all, Guan Jun was Jia Fu's favorite general. Kou Xun killing Guan Jun was like cutting off one of Jia Fu's arms. How could he not feel distressed?
Besides, when you beat a dog, it depends on the owner!
Guan Jun belongs to Jia Fu. You, the prefect of Yingchuan, kill people when you say you want to. Where is Jia Fu’s face? Where is his prestige in the army? In order to give an explanation to his officers and soldiers, Jia Fu
