When Hua Xiong came, he was very arrogant. He had just taken office and had made great achievements. This case was said to be the second largest case in Xiping years, but in terms of influence, it had actually surpassed the first major case.
That is to say, the prince was assassinated, a disciple was killed, hundreds of people were implicated, and more than a hundred people were executed. But in fact, the real masterminds were only three people.
The rest all suffered because of their connections with them, but this case is different. It is hard to say whether the mastermind is Henan Yin. In addition to him, there are sixteen county magistrates and more than fifty county magistrates.
The prime minister, even the local pavilion chiefs, and more than 400 officials in total were involved. Although these people did not have high official positions, as officials in the Sili area, the impact was very bad.
Especially at this time, when the emperor felt that the world was at peace, foreign enemies were defeated, and his own merits were unparalleled, something like this happened, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face for the emperor. How could the emperor endure such a shame and humiliation? The messengers of embroidered clothes were dispatched overnight,
I don’t know how many people were arrested, but even Situ Gong was unable to dissuade the emperor. The emperor was furious, and many ministers also suffered, especially the previous Sili Xiaowei.
The last Sili Xiaowei was the veteran Jin Xuan. He started serving as an official in the Jianning Year. He successively served as Yilang, Pushe and other official positions, and later served as governor, prefect and so on in various places. He worked conscientiously throughout his life, although he was not very important.
Although he had made great achievements, he was not at fault. When he returned to his hometown, he was awarded the title of Marquis Yiting. However, now that such a big mistake has been made, how can the emperor spare him?
The emperor took away his title. If it weren't for his age, he would have been taken to the Tingwei prison long ago!
However, even if he was spared jail, he would not be able to enjoy his old age in peace.
In major cases, not everyone suffered, there were also some who got a lot of benefits, just two of them, Hua Xiong and Lu Bu. Hua Xiong had the ability to see through the traitor, and Lu Bu had the ability to capture them, so both of them got it.
The emperor's reward greatly increased Hua Xiong's reputation. Previously, no one took this martial artist seriously. Even if he served as Sili Xiaowei, everyone did the same. Many people were waiting to see his jokes.
.
I didn't expect that he had made such great achievements just a few days after taking office. It seems that this person cannot be underestimated.
Hua Xiong followed Zhou Yu into the mansion, paid a courtesy visit to Liu Mastiff and Yuan Shu, and then sat down. He did not ask about Yuan Shu's situation. No one was surprised. Hua Xiong had always been like this. He never regarded life and death as so important.
, he always thought in his heart that when he died, he would be able to see his fallen brothers and his old friends, so he never cared about it.
Even Yuan Shu often praised him, saying that if Hua Xiong had a pure heart and had been born five hundred years earlier, he might have been able to sit down and discuss Taoism with Zhuang Zhou. This man was simply a genius in governing Taoism.
Hua Xiong sat down, looked at Yuan Shu with a smile, and said: "These days, I have been busy in Houde Hall. Your Majesty asked me to help select a group of new county magistrates." He looked full of pride and complacency.
, I am very proud, but a few people around me are a little stunned. Does this guy still know how to select talents??
Yuan Shu nodded and said nothing more.
He looked at Hua Xiong, who was about to move in front of him, and knew in his heart that he was going to talk nonsense again. He didn't want to listen, for fear that he would be unable to hold back and ruin his dignity as Captain of Sili in front of these juniors. He stood
He stood up and said: "You chat with them first, I will go back to the study to rest for a while, and you can come find me later."
Hua Xiong was just asking for what he wanted. When Yuan Shu walked away, he looked at everyone and said with interest: "Would you like to hear me talk about this inspection?"
Everyone is looking forward to it. Although Hua Xiong is not very good at other things, his story-telling skills are top-notch.
Seeing that everyone was happy, Hua Xiong began to tell his story, starting from the starting point. He told it in detail. It was thrilling and a bit strange. What common people were smiling, everyone was like this, and no matter what time, what kind of cattle appeared.
Disappeared again. This made even Zhou Yu doubtful. Could it be that he had remembered it wrong?
When talking about Zhang Song, Hua Xiong could not hold back anymore and began to talk about his ugliness. As he was talking, he suddenly pointed at Pang Tong in the crowd and said: "This dear man is still worse than Zhang Song."
, Zhang Song is much scarier than you!!"
When Hua Xiong spoke like this, everyone was shocked. Liu Mastiff stood up quickly and said with some displeasure: "How could uncle speak like that?!"
When Pang Tong heard this, he laughed, stood up, and asked Liu Mastiff to sit down. He looked at Hua Xiong, his eyes gleaming, and asked, "Is this person really uglier than me?"
"It is so!" Hua Xiong said with great certainty.
Pang Tong shook his head and said: "This is impossible. Most of the ancient sages and outstanding people had strange looks. I have a look that is rare in the world. They will definitely be able to do extraordinary things in the future. They
If he is uglier than me, how can he do evil things? And die so young without merit? Therefore, I am uglier." Hearing his words, Hua Xiong looked at his appearance carefully again.
He nodded and said: "You say it like this, as if it is true. Are you uglier?"
"That's natural. With my ugly appearance, how can there be another one in the world?" Pang Tong said with a smile.
Hua Xiong nodded and said, "I've also heard that most of those who have achieved something are strange-looking. So what do you think I look like?"
Pang Tong looked at Hua Xiong, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "You are a great talent, I am not as good as him!"
Hua Xiong couldn't help laughing when he was praised, and said: "You are too praised, too praised!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing, even Zhuge Liang laughed. He looked at Pang Tong and said, "Pang Shiyuan's character cannot be matched by the ancient sages!" Pang Tong didn't care and just smiled softly. Zhou Yu looked at Pang Tong.
, and revealed the words of Yuan Shu and Zhang Song. When Pang Tong heard Yuan Shu talking about himself, his expression remained unchanged, he shook his head and kept sighing: "I'm just luckier than him."
After chatting for a long time, Hua Xiong got up and went to Yuan Shu's place. Liu Mastiff also left with everyone.
Hua Xiong walked into the study. Yuan Shu did not lie down to rest, but sat in front of the papers, thinking about something. When he saw Hua Xiong coming in, he ignored him. Hua Xiong sat in front of him, waiting quietly.
Then, Yuan Shu finally took out the letter and handed it to Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong took the letter and was about to read it. Yuan Shu quickly stretched out his hand and said, "I got this from Zhang Song before."
Arrived”
"These are all evidence of crime. Neither you nor I can look at them. You can take them to the emperor and tell him that the list I asked you to give him is all evildoers who have colluded with Zhang Song or committed the crime of covering up."
"
Hua Xiong carefully put away the letter and nodded.
"Okay, you go quickly." Yuan Shu waved his hand and drove Hua Xiong out.
After walking out of the mansion, Hua Xiong immediately rushed to the palace. In these days, he had been traveling between the palace and the guards stationed at the palace, and he was somewhat familiar with them. When they saw it was Hua Xiong, they immediately went to report it. Soon,
Huangmen took Hua Xiong and rushed to the Houde Hall.
The emperor was not reviewing the memorials in the Hall of Houde. He was in the front yard, holding a long sword and practicing swordplay. Hua Xiong could see that the emperor was not in a good mood. He was very angry. Hua Xiong stood aside.
After a moment, the emperor put away his sword and handed it to Huangmen beside him. He and Hua Xiong returned to the Houde Hall and sat facing each other. Hua Xiong didn't waste any time and directly handed the letter to the emperor and said: "
This is what Captain Yuan asked me to give to His Majesty."
"He said that these are the letters left by Zhang Song, and the letters written in them are all related to Zhang Song or have committed crimes of covering up."
When Hua Xiong said this, the emperor was stunned. Is it implicated? Could it be that not all the traitors were caught earlier? He quickly opened the letter, and the word Yuan Shu at the top made him a little confused. This was Yuan Shu's order.
Hua Xiong sent it. Yuan Shu's name is on it? He looked down again, Shaofu Fan Ling, Guanglu Xun Zhao Qian, Guanglu doctor Zhou Zhong, Yi Langding Palace, Wei Wei Chun Yujia
The emperor's breathing gradually became heavier. These are the Jiuqing. The Jiuqing after Sangong. Half of the ministers in the entire temple are on this list, and there are also many governors, prefects and the like who are outside.
, the more the emperor looked at it, the angrier he became in his heart. After the anger, he was still a little sad and depressed. All these people either accepted Zhang Song's bribes, recommended Zhang Song, or shielded Zhang Song and covered him up.
the behavior of.
Why is this????
The emperor couldn't understand why these people, as important ministers of the country and deeply trusted by him, would do such things?
He slammed the letter onto the document, stared at Hua Xiong in front of him, and asked, "Are these true?"
Hua Xiong shook his head and said: "I don't know, but Lieutenant Yuan probably won't lie to me. He said he got it from Zhang Song." The emperor looked over again. There was some evidence behind it, such as sending
What kind of gifts and what benefits did he provide? The above records are very clear. However, what puzzled the emperor the most was Yuan Shu's name. He knew Yuan Shu very well and he also knew his character. He was not someone who would cover up for money.
other's.
What's more, he was the one who captured this piece of pine, and he saw through the incident. If he was one of them, why would he do this?
When the emperor looked through it again, he saw the clues. This handwriting, this handwriting, was very familiar. The emperor recognized the handwriting. It was Yuan Shu's handwriting, not Zhang Song's. The emperor couldn't help but frowned. He also
Without any scruples about the man in front of him, Hua Xiong found some of Zhang Song's memorials from the documents, and then confronted him. In the past few days, he had been looking through Zhang Song's many memorials. This handwriting was completely wrong.
This is Yuan Shu's handwriting.
However, Yuan Shu had no grievances with these temple ministers, so there was no need to frame them like this, and there was no cover up, so he could see through it at a glance.
This should indeed be Zhang Song's letter, but it was revised and copied by Yuan Shu. The incriminating evidence in it is so clear.
So why did he copy it again? Is he suffering for others?
