At this time, Lu Bu just walked into the study. Because of his tall body, he could only lower his head in the study. He felt a little uncomfortable. Looking at the corpse next to Hua Xiong, Lu Bu asked in surprise: "You killed him?"
he?"
"Why should I kill him? Look at the wounds on his body. It's obvious that he committed suicide by taking poison! You can't even tell?" Hua Xiong asked in surprise. Lu Bu suppressed the anger in his heart and shook his head.
Walking out without looking back, Hua Xiong grinned, looked at Yuan Shu on the side, and said: "Captain, he may have other important letters here. I will guard the door to prevent that guy from breaking in. Regarding the search,
I'm going to trouble you two..."
Hua Xiong said and walked out. Zhou Yu looked at the document. He knew that Zhang Song had written down the names of everyone who had contact with him. This was a great achievement. Hua Xiong was not stupid.
Lu Bu was so angry that Hua Xiong and Shijun could only take the credit. However, Yuan Shu had already walked over, possessed him, and started checking. Zhou Yu was not idle either, and began to search the entire study.
Yuan Shu sat on the desk. The papers on the desk were filled with information on how to implement water conservancy, including instructions to the next Henan Yin. Yuan Shu put these away and looked at the bottom. The paper was densely packed with information.
It is filled with names of people, from officials in the pavilions, to counties, to temples, one name after another. After that, the evidence of their crimes is written, whether they are harboring or driving, and the various crimes are clear.
.
Yuan Shu was watching, his heart was shocked and his eyes widened.
He stretched out his hand and picked up the paper with some disbelief. He looked at it carefully and several times. There was a huge roar in his ears, which made him fall into a trance. He trembled and read it several times.
He put the letter into his sleeve and stood up. Yuan Shu couldn't hear what Zhou Yu was saying. His face suddenly felt moist. He stretched out his hand and touched it. His hand was full of blood. For some reason, his
Blood kept coming out of the nose.
He listened to Zhou Yu's exclamations.
........
When Yuan Shu opened his eyes again, he was lying on the bed, looking at the decorations around him. He was lying in his own mansion, and his wife, Sima, was sitting on the bedside, gently squeezing his legs.
, Yuan Shu struggled to get up, and Sima noticed that he woke up, quickly got up, walked to his side, helped him sit up, and put an extra pillow behind him so that he could lean on it.
Yuan Shu rubbed his forehead and looked around. It took him a long time to react. He quickly looked at Sima and asked, "Where are my clothes? Where are those clothes?"
Hearing Yuan Shu's question, Sima said: "Husband, don't worry. I have put away all the clothes. There are also letters and the like inside. I put them in the study..." After hearing this, Yuan Shu nodded.
After relaxing, he asked: "Who sent me here? How many days have I slept?"
Sima's eyes were red, holding back tears, and said painfully: "It was Zhou Lang who sent my husband back. My husband has been unconscious for two days. His Highness invited Dr. Hua here. In the past few days, he has been working for me.
Husband heals... Husband, just wake up, just wake up..." When he heard her say this, Yuan Shu reached out and held her hand tightly. After being silent for a long time, he said with a smile: "I can't
It... makes Madam worried..."
The two talked for a while, and then she remembered to report Hua Tuo. Soon after, Hua Tuo and Liu Mastiff arrived in a hurry. As soon as Hua Tuo came in, he began to check Yuan Shu's pulse, while Liu Mastiff stood aside, a little nervous.
Looking at Yuan Shu, he looked extremely tired and his eyes were red. He had not fallen asleep since Yuan Shu fell into a coma. For two days, he stayed in Yuan's mansion without resting.
Hua Tuo simply wrote a prescription and went to get the medicine. He also comforted Yuan Shu, saying that it was nothing serious and that Yuan Shu would be able to get up soon.
After Hua Tuo left, Liu Mastiff stood in front of Yuan Shu, moved his lips, but was speechless. Finally, he smiled and said: "Master, it's fine..."
"After Gong Jin sent Master here, he stayed with him for a day. However, later, his father called him to ask about Zhang Song, so he had no choice but to leave... and the officials of the East Palace.
They all came to visit Master, and Sikong Yuan Gong also came twice..." Liu Mastiff said, Yuan Shu nodded and asked: "How is the matter?"
"After Gong Jin sent his master back, he also informed me of Henan Yin's situation. Zhang Song committed suicide out of fear of the crime. The county magistrates under him are still interrogating them. However, I heard that many people have confessed to the crime.
Now he is in prison, and my father is very angry... Zhang Jun was almost removed by his father because of his unfavorable supervision. The other ministers were also reprimanded by his father, and even Situ Gong was scolded miserably.
.”
"Haven't heard the rest yet..."
"Well..." Yuan Shu nodded and said, "I'm a little tired. You should go back to the East Palace first and come see me tomorrow..."
After letting Liu Mastiff leave, Yuan Shu got up and went directly to the study. On the desk, he saw the list left by Zhang Song. Looking at the list in front of him, Yuan Shu was stunned for a long time, sighing feebly, holding the
Holding the paper, he wanted to crush it several times, but he could not get over it. He sat in front of the document and opened the paper again. At the top of the paper, it was clearly written:
"Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu successively collected my paintings, calligraphy, ancient books, and fine wood for 300,000 yuan. They allowed me to increase the tax rate in the department and collect more taxes as my political achievements and to cover up my crimes."
Looking at this name, Yuan Shu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He closed his eyes and the figures of the three young men in Luoyang appeared in his mind.
"I am the son of the Yuan family. My younger brother is young and ignorant, and has offended all the gentlemen. I hope you will not be offended!"
"Why are you the champion, but I can't?"
"Because you are my little brother!"
"Take this jade pendant and go to Liangzhou. Don't risk your life..."
"If you weren't my youngest brother, I would have stabbed you to death long ago!"
"Sikong Yuan Gong also came twice..."
Yuan Shu put the list on the back of the document, took a deep breath, and was silent for a long time. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Liu Mo. He hated him at first. He was a talkative and extremely cowardly, but he metaphorically remembered
In Ningzhou, Liu Mo once asked himself in tears, which one is more important, personal hatred or the world? At that time, he was not able to answer, but he already knew his choice.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the door. Yuan Shu quickly put the letter under the desk. Yuan Shao opened the door and walked in.
"I heard that you are sick? What's going on? Didn't Hua Tuo cure you?" Yuan Shao sat opposite Yuan Shu, looked at him, and asked with some doubts. Yuan Shu looked straight into his eyes and said nothing. Regarding words, Yuan Shao had long been accustomed to this guy's rudeness. He sat in front of him, shook his head and said: "These are things that Hua Xiong should worry about. Why are you getting involved? Isn't your body still weak? Is this mere meritorious service important?"
"Why do you want to protect Zhang Song?"
Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment and looked at Yuan Shu in front of him. His face froze for a moment. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and said, "What are you talking about? I'm covering up Zhang Song? How is this possible?"
"Haha, he left a letter. Guess whose name is the leader??"
Yuan Shao's face turned cold and he asked: "Where is the letter? In whose hands is it?"
Yuan Shu looked at him, did not answer his question, shook his head, and asked: "You only lack the hundreds of thousands of money? Do you have to do this?"
"Me? All the grooms in my family are richer than Zhang Song!!" Yuan Shao shouted angrily. He gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "What do you want me to do? The emperor is obsessed with opening up and expanding the territory, so let me do my best. Support the army in the expedition to Kushan! Does the national treasury have so much food and grass? I can’t think of a way to collect more from the local area, what else can I do? I invested all my private property in it!! It’s a drop in the bucket!!”
"You tell me, the emperor opened up new territories and expanded the territory, and the soldiers were full of meritorious deeds, but what about me?? I will become a sinner? I will be questioned together with Zhang Song?!"
Yuan Shu shook his head and said: "No matter what, you shouldn't be like this. Even if you are facing the emperor directly, even if you lose your position as Sikong, you shouldn't act like this. You shouldn't bully the people like this..."
Yuan Shao laughed, looked at Yuan Shu, and said: "Yes, you are all talented people and do not harm the people. A traitor like me may not understand such a great truth..." He nodded again and said : "The only ones who can come forward in the Yuan family are you and me... Instead of letting others sue me, why don't you go and impeach me and save the rest of the Yuan family... The Yuan family cannot destroy it. It cannot be destroyed in my hands..."
Yuan Shu looked at him and shook his head.
Yuan Shao stood up and was about to leave, when Yuan Shu suddenly said: "Brother."
"Um?"
"Promise me... you will never do something like this again..."
"Um."
"vow!"
Yuan Shao looked at his cautious younger brother in front of him, nodded, and said, "I, Yuan Benchu, swear to never do such evil things again."
Yuan Shu smiled and nodded, but did not send Yuan Shao away. After Yuan Shao left, he took out the letter again, tore open the part where Yuan Shao was written, crushed it, took out another piece of paper, and took the pen and ink , began to record the names of the rest of the people one by one. When the paper reached the top position of Yuan Shao, he did not hesitate and wrote a line of words on the top.
"Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao took back my calligraphy, paintings, ancient books, and some good wood, and asked me to increase tax rates and increase tax burdens in order to undermine the implementation of the New Deal and cover up the crime."
He looked at the list in front of him for a long time, but it didn't change, so he sighed.
The next day, everyone came to visit him, but at this time, he was able to get up and was practicing swordplay in the courtyard. Everyone greeted him, and Yuan Shu also returned the greetings one by one. He sat with everyone in the courtyard and chatted happily. Yuan Shu He also told them many things about Zhang Song, and everyone listened attentively. They did not expect that such a thing would happen at the feet of the emperor. This incident made them very frightened.
Yuan Shu looked at Zhou Yu on the side and said: "Gong Jin, go and call Hua Xiong..."
Zhou Yu nodded and took the order and left.
It didn't take long for Hua Xiong to arrive. During these days, he had been busy dealing with the affairs of various county offices and had a headache. When he learned that Yuan Shu had woken up, he followed Zhou Yu and quickly returned to Yuan Mansion.
