Zhou Yu galloped away on horseback. Zhongmu County and Luoyang were not too far away. They were both under the jurisdiction of Henan Yin. What happened today has made him unable to recover until now. He had never thought of it.
, it turns out that not only what he heard is false, but what he sees may sometimes be false. After leaving Zhongmou, he began to feel worried. He should have taken Master away just now. If Henan Yin learned about the situation in Zhongmou, would Master
What will happen?
With this in mind, he continued to speed up, ignoring the inns and the like along the way, and rushed to the gate of Luoyang City. Looking at the familiar soldiers in front of the gate of Luoyang City, his heart was still heavy.
The soldiers did not make things difficult for him. Zhou Yu quickly entered the gate with the imperial examination certificate and headed towards Zhijinwu's camp. When he arrived in front of the camp, the soldiers stopped him quickly.
"I have something important to go to see General Lu!!!"
"I am under the command of Captain Sili!"
Zhou Yu shouted. The soldier heard this and did not dare to delay. He rushed into the camp. After a while, several soldiers came out and took Zhou Yu into the camp. When they walked to the school ground, they saw Lu Bu's tall man.
Zhou Yu bowed quickly and said, "Zhou Yu pays homage to General Lu!" Then he handed Yuan Shu's letter to Lu Bu. Lu Bu took the letter and read it for a moment, frowning.
"This matter is of great importance, I need the emperor's edict!!"
"General, the matter in Zhongmu cannot be hidden for long. If the general doesn't take action, I'm afraid these thieves will all escape!" Zhou Yu shouted helplessly. Lu Bu nodded and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Send the troops quickly.
Go and surround Henan Yin's mansion. In addition, notify the city gate captain to close the city gate. You take the rest of your brothers and attack each county in Henan Yin respectively!!!"
"Here you go!"
Lu Bu did not rush there in person. He took Zhou Yu with him and hurried to the palace, all the way to the Hall of Houde.
"Your Majesty!!" Zhou Yu paid his respects, and without waiting for the emperor's words, he told what he saw and heard in Zhongmou one by one. The emperor and Lu Bu listened carefully. By the time Zhou Yu finished speaking, the emperor's face was already red.
, he could vaguely see the veins on his forehead, he looked at Lu Bu, and Lu Bu said hurriedly: "I hope your majesty will forgive me. I heard that the matter was urgent, so I took the lead in sending troops to arrest!!"
The emperor endured the rage in his heart and roared angrily: "Contact the Northern Army, mobilize a battalion, and you will command it. I will capture all these traitors and traitors!!!"
Lu Bu and Zhou Yu hurriedly left the palace.
The emperor was sitting on the Hu chair, rubbing his forehead. The anger in his heart was beyond words. Such a thing could happen even around him, so what was it like in other places? He
I also remembered that when the princes implemented the assessment system in the past, hundreds of officials opposed it, saying that this system would allow many talented but unscrupulous people to hold important positions and would destroy the foundation of the Han Dynasty.
If I remember correctly, it seems that He Yaye is the faction that insists on opposing it.
Now, I finally see how much people with talent but no virtue can do!!
Lu Bu acted very quickly. In less than three days, the entire Jinwu soldiers and the soldiers of the first battalion of the Northern Army completed the control of all the county towns in Yin, Henan. All the county guards were arrested.
The rest of the officials were besieged in the county government and were not in a hurry to arrest. Yuan Shu also returned to Luoyang and met Lu Bu. The Luoyang order had been arrested and was now in the prison of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy.
, undergo interrogation.
As for Yin of Henan, he was not in Luoyang. He went to Yangwu County, but he did not escape. Lu Bu sent people to surround Yangwu and besieged him in the county government. The captured local police revealed
After hearing this important news, Yuan Shu, Hua Xiong, Lu Bu, and Zhou Yu rushed to Yangwu County together. After Lu Bu determined the location of Yin in Henan, he also issued arrest orders in other places. For a time, the entire
All officials from upper to lower levels in Henan Yin were captured.
Both Tingwei's Prison and Xiuyi Messenger's Prison were unable to accommodate these people.
Yuan Shu and Lu Bu did not have any friendship. Even if they met, they did not speak. After arriving in Yangwu County, Lu Bu directly said: "Your Majesty ordered me to capture the traitor, and Henan Yin I took him back. As for the officials,
The vacancy left after being captured still needs the two of you to worry about..." Lu Bu said, but before Yuan Shu could speak, Hua Xiong beside him became a little angry.
"As the Commander-in-Chief, I should handle this matter. What's more, these traitors were also exposed by me. You just helped to arrest them and you want to take them back? You still want to keep them?
Let’s clean up the mess next time??”
Lu Bu smiled and said, "If the captain is unwilling, we can discuss it. I, Lu Bu, am the most reasonable!"
"I won't talk to you more. I know you are eloquent, but I can't speak to you. But I must take this person back!"
Neither of them was willing to give in. Hua Xiong had also fought all his life, so how could he be afraid of Lu Bu? The two debated for a long time, but when they looked outside, Yuan Shu and Zhou Yu were missing. Hua Xiong was shocked and said: "In order to get a military honor, you
You actually kidnapped Taifu Yuan and his disciples? You let them go, and I will give them to you!!"
"Bastard!!" Lu Bu jumped into a rage, waved the spear in his hand, and shouted: "How could I do such a thing!! Don't spit on others!"
"Why, you still want to kill me and silence me?!" Hua Xiong took a step back, pointed at Lu Bu, shook his head and said, "Okay, you Lu Bu are such a person, and you want to kill your colleagues just for the sake of mere military glory. I
I died for the king today, and I deserved to die!!"
Lu Bu stabbed him with his spear. The soldiers on the side blocked him tightly and refused to let him pass. Lu Bu was still roaring: "Get out of my way. I won't catch Henan Yin. I will also kill this thief."
!!”
"Okay, you said you won't arrest me, thank you General Lu for your courtesy!!"
Hua Xiong bowed to Lu Bu and ran happily towards the county government mansion.
Walking on the road, Hua Xiong thought with some disdain: "You are still eloquent, but even if you are like this, I can even say two or three things that are crazy!"
Of course, at this time, Yuan Shu, accompanied by Zhou Yu, had already entered the county government mansion. The officials here looked at him in horror. When they saw him walking in, they knelt down and trembled all over. Yuan Shu waved his hand to let him go.
He left the county government office and walked to the innermost study room. Standing at the door, he saw the guy sitting in front of the desk, waving his pen and ink, and writing something.
Yuan Shu walked up to him and slowly sat down.
The man raised his head, looked at Yuan Shu, smiled, and said, "Please Yuan Jun, please sit down for a moment. I'm almost done..."
Yuan Shu did not answer, but just looked at him, as did Zhou Yu on the side. The person in front of him was Henan Yin. How should I put it? His appearance was really unflattering. He was short in stature, with small eyes and a big nose.
Ugly. Yuan Shu had met Pang Tong before. Pang Tong often described himself as a wizard, saying that he had a strange appearance and would do something different from ordinary people in the future. However, this Pang Tong's strangeness was still somewhat different from this one.
, no wonder he can sit in the position of Henan Yin.
As he wrote, he was still talking: "This month, there are counties close to big rivers, and water conservancy projects have to be completed... I have to take care of everything, and I am really tired..."
He filled up the papers in front of him, and Yuan Shu could see clearly that this person's writing style was impeccable. His handwriting was very unique, and it was completely unrealistic for people to think of his appearance. His writing speed was also amazing, and even,
There was no pause at all, and he finished it in one go. If it weren't for his figure and appearance, it would be the style of a famous scholar and writer. After he finished writing, he raised his head and looked at Yuan Shu in front of him.
Yuan Shu and Zhou Yu were still staring at his face.
"What? Mr. Yuan, you are thinking, you are indeed a traitor, do you really look like a traitor?" he laughed at himself.
Yuan Shu shook his head and said: "With his strange appearance, he must have extraordinary deeds."
Henan Yin laughed, looked at Yuan Shu in front of him, shook his head, and said, "Mr. Yuan, I want to tell you an interesting story."
Without waiting for Yuan Shu's reaction, he continued: "There was a powerful family in Chengdu, Shu County, with two sons. The eldest son was born handsome and a moral man, and the family owner loved him deeply. The second son was born ugly and disgraceful, and the family owner hated him. As for his adulthood,
, the eldest son has been promoted to an official with filial piety and integrity, and has a far-reaching reputation. The second son has earth-shattering talents, but he is tied up in the family. He feels angry in his heart. Fortunately, he has made many friends and revealed his ambition..."
"Later, some sages implemented an assessment system, and the second son went there and became the top mulberry farmer of the two. The emperor also loved his talent, and the officials were amazed by his different appearance. However, this man became the county magistrate and the capital.
Wei, for more than ten years... he was the county magistrate of four places and the captain of two places. He had countless political achievements. The people in the areas he ruled were wealthy and people did not pick up lost items on the road. Hahaha!" Henan Yin laughed loudly and said: "What can I do?
, cannot be promoted, the ministers of the temple are so ugly that they do not value their actions..."
"If you are a county magistrate, the county magistrate will be promoted. If you are a captain, a long history will be promoted. Everyone hopes that this person's right-hand man will be promoted."
"This man was depressed and frustrated, but he watched the villains occupy high positions one by one... Haha, later, he just learned the truth of this. He went around to meet famous people, visited and found friends, gave a lot of money, and was promoted all the way. As for the senior officials
, To be an official, you don’t need to be talented or handsome, as long as you have countless friends, plenty of money, and pretentiousness, you can rise all the way up... Hehehe, Mr. Yuan, that person is me!!"
He stood up, looked at Yuan Shu, and said with some resentment: "I have been an official for more than ten years. I have been diligent and caring for the people. I have made countless political achievements and benefited the whole country. However, others hate me because of my ugly appearance! I have been an official for three years, and I have been flattering and flattering.
Flattery, fishing for fame, deceiving superiors and deceiving subordinates, but I have been promoted all the way...Everyone recites my virtuous name..."
"No!" Yuan Shu said. He looked at Henan Yin in front of him and said, "I will also tell you an interesting story."
"I know a person who is also from a wealthy family. This person is ugly and has not been liked by others since he was a child. However, this person likes to study. He is young and smart and is appreciated by everyone. He also relies on scientific achievements and is the best in both fields.
I am not proud of the crown, I am ashamed of it, so I continue to study. Now as an official of the East Palace, I do not forget to study, work hard day and night, and am deeply loved by His Highness. How do you think this person compares to you?"
Henan Yin shook his head with a smile and said: "You are just luckier than me..." He pointed to the documents on the table and said: "Over the years, everyone who can be persuaded by me to give me wings and accept my money must
All the good things about me are on that piece of paper... As for what, I can only look at Mr. Yuan's..." At this moment, he was relieved. He looked at Yuan Shu and said: "If I were any more good-looking,
Some, maybe..."
"Pounce!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered behind him, held on to the wall, trembling all over, looked at the lists on the slips angrily, and said with a wild laugh: "I'm waiting for you! I'm waiting.
You!!!", shouted twice, and immediately fell to the ground. At this moment, Hua Xiong had just entered the study. Seeing such a scene, Hua Xiong was startled and almost jumped up.
Yuan Shu shook his head and asked: "A man who was killed on the battlefield is still afraid of this dead body?"
"No...I'm not afraid of dead bodies...it's just that this person looks too scary..."
Hua Xiong leaned down again, observed Henan Yin in front of him, and asked: "Is this Zhang Song? I never thought that he would look like this. He is so ugly, but he can still be in Henan Yin's position. Come to think of it.
