He shouted, and the soldiers didn't know whose order they should obey. They hesitated a little. Guan Yu, who was standing among the soldiers, said: "Stop." With Guan Yu's order, the soldiers put away their yellow crossbows. , but the officials in the courtyard were speechless anymore. They looked at the prince in the distance in horror. They could feel that this man did not scare them on purpose. He was serious. I want to shoot all these governors and a governor!!!
Is this a human???
This is a cooler official than Zhang Tangyangqiu!!
Several of them were so frightened that they fell to the ground. The rest were not much better, their legs were shaking. It was obvious that they were extremely scared. They really did not expect that the emperor would send such a powerful person. A mentally ill person came to Jingzhou. This person is too terrifying. Could it be that he didn't know that if he dared to shoot these eight prefects and a governor here today, would he himself be doomed? Not to mention the emperor, everyone in the world would be dead. I won't spare him, but this person really dares.
When they met such a guy, they could only be happy. Fortunately, there was Liu Bei walking with him. Looking at their frightened eyes, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. Not to mention them, even Liu Bei was frightened. This The servant was too dangerous, and he almost asked himself to be buried with him. This place is powerful, and if you kill, you will kill. No matter how many you kill, they all deserve it, and no one dares to defend them. Not only will the emperor not blame him, They would also praise their courage, but these officials are different!!
They are all local officials, prefects, and governors. If they are placed in the temple, they are all big shots like Jiu Qing. How can you, a little prince, kill them all at the command of the commander? If you shoot them all I'm afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will be implicated and no one can protect themselves. Fortunately, there is Guan Yu here, who has a good relationship with him. He looked at Guan Yu in the distance and said: "Thank you Guan Xiaowei... Many thanks... ." After saying that, he looked at Man Chong next to him, who was a little unhappy.
He said: "These people are disobeying orders and allowing powerful men to oppress the people... What's more, they resist with swords... They should be shot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the prefects wisely took off their swords and threw them on the ground. They did not dare to anger this madman again.
Liu Bei said helplessly: "How can you be punished like this for a mere crime of negligence? What's more, the innocent people among them will also die tragically in our hands. They let the powerful and oppress the people. This crime is absolutely unacceptable to me. I will protect them, even if you are too fond of me, I will definitely check it myself and report it to the emperor!! Seek justice for the people of Jingzhou!! However, they cannot just die like this, if they still have accomplices , they died like this again, wouldn’t they let the traitor go?”
After hearing Liu Bei's words, Man Chong nodded in agreement and ordered: "Arrest them!!"
Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei with a hint of respect. He had always been like this. He had never liked those boastful scholars, and he did not want to have any friendship with such big figures as the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers. Previously, he was also After listening to Hua Xiong's nonsense, he followed Yuan Shu. Of course, he later learned about Yuan Shu's origin. However, at that time, his friendship with Yuan Shu was already extremely close, so he didn't say anything more. It's always been this way.
Even if there was a good opportunity to get close to Dong Zhuo and the prince, he didn't take it seriously. Unlike Hua Xiong, who was so close to Dong Zhuo and Liu Mastiff, Guan Yu was different, he always kept a distance.
, On the contrary, he was very friendly to those from poor backgrounds, and even the people at the bottom, as if they were two people. When he first met Liu Bei, Liu Bei told him that Liu Bei's background was not very good.
Although he is a member of the Han clan, he was born in poverty and went through many hardships to achieve his current status.
Now, seeing Liu Bei's words again, he respected him even more.
Guan Yu didn't think much about it. He led his soldiers and rushed directly into the crowd, holding them one by one. After seeing the Northern Army flags they carried, these prefects became even more obedient. They knew in their hearts that just
Just these few hundred Northern troops can massacre Jingzhou. Even if there are ten thousand soldiers in counties and counties, it is hard to say whether they can withstand them. This Northern army is the strongest army of the Han Dynasty. Although the Southern army is not
Don't think so.
When passing by Liu Bei, they did not forget to express their gratitude to Liu Bei, "Thank you so much, Mr. Liu for saving your life!" Liu Bei wanted to cry but had no tears. He clearly brought people to arrest you, but why did he feel like he was yours instead?
Savior? Liu Bei didn't care. Man Chong took them directly and imprisoned them all in the county prison. When the jailer saw the governor and a large number of people being imprisoned, he was so frightened that his legs trembled and he seemed to cry. Man Chong again
More than fifty Northern soldiers were left to guard them.
After walking out of the county government office, Liu Bei asked: "How is the situation? Does Manchu have all the evidence of their crimes??"
Man Chong nodded and took Liu Bei to the inn. As he walked, he said: "Mr. Liu, I don't know that I have obtained more evidence than I thought before. They also joined forces with the officials to embezzle the temple's alimony. They also treated those old people
The pensions of the weak, sick and disabled were swallowed up by them. There were even wealthy families who directly collaborated with local officials to embezzle the pensions of county officials and forced several officials to death, and there were many more.
, However, just the first few items are enough to put them to death..."
Man Chong said and opened the door of the inn.
The bloody smell hit his face, and Liu Bei was stunned.
Throughout the inn, there were densely packed heads. It was obvious that most of the people were dying with their eyes open!!
Looking at this hellish scene, it took Liu Bei a long time to recover. He looked at Man Chong beside him and asked, "Why is this?"
"What is the military merit of the Northern Army? The way the Northern Army obtains military merit is beheading, is it possible that Liu Gong doesn't know about it?" Man Chong asked in return. Liu Bei was speechless and asked Man Chong to close the door.
Liu Bei pondered for a long time. He didn't say much about Man Chong's behavior. They went back to the county office and sat down. Man Chong handed over the charges. Liu Bei looked at it seriously, and his face became increasingly angry. He put down
After seeing the charges in his hands, he said: "You should indeed be killed!! I, the Han Dynasty, have been harmed by such traitors!!" He said angrily, looked at Man Chong, and continued: "Man Jun, this
Although the affairs of powerful people are easy to solve, the affairs of aristocratic families are somewhat difficult..."
"Next, I will visit these aristocratic families. When the time comes, Man Jun will threaten them. We will let them confess their crimes first..." Liu Bei said a lot, then looked at Man Chong and asked: "
What do you think, Lord Man?"
"Are the aristocratic families like Huang, Cai, and Zhang what Mr. Liu is talking about?" Man Chong asked doubtfully.
Liu Bei suddenly had a bad idea in his heart. He nodded and asked, "How did Lord Man..."
"Oh, I killed them together with the powerful ones..." Man Chong said, and then said: "Therefore, there is no need to think about the family affairs next. In my opinion, it is better to send these people to Luoyang. , dealt with them, and then waited for the new governor of Jingzhou, we can continue the official affairs. Of course, during this free period, we cannot wait in vain. We had better take this opportunity to go to Yangzhou and bring Yangzhou under control. Governance, what does Liu Gong think??"
"Mr. Liu??"
"Mr. Liu?!"
Xiping seventeenth year, June
The incident in Jingzhou shocked the world. The farmer Liu Bei and the prince Shu, who had no relationship with each other, became even more favored. Together with a Northern Army captain, they actually bloodbathed the entire Jingzhou. A large family with the heirloom of Jingzhou Confucian classics, He was directly wiped out without leaving anyone behind. Such cruel methods shocked the world. Suddenly, Liu Bei's reputation spread throughout the Han Dynasty. Of course, this time, it was not a good name. Everyone was reviling Liu Bei. This cruel official actually did such an unethical thing. Even if he is guilty, he does not deserve such a cruel punishment!!
What do you, Liu Xuande, have against them? Do you need to use the Northern Army to wipe them out?
The most taboo and fearful thing of this family is the destruction of the family. If the family is implicated and a few people die, it doesn't matter. With the accumulated resources, we can still start over. But what if the entire family is destroyed? ?This was really terrifying, so Liu Bei became the successor to Wang Fu. After Cao Cao, he was the third notorious figure in the Han Dynasty. The impeachments against him continued to reach the Hall of Houde, and they all wanted the emperor to withdraw this person. The terrified Si Nong told him to get out of the temple quickly.
This is the first time that a minister of the Han Dynasty has done such an unethical thing to a noble family!!
This is not a powerful person, this is an aristocratic family!!
Liu Bei was very aggrieved.
People in Jingzhou knew the truth in their hearts and knew that this was Man Chong's doing and not Liu Bei's. However, people outside didn't think so. In their view, Liu Bei, as a farmer, must have ordered all this, and the prince The rate change order was actually sent by the emperor to learn from Liu Bei. Unexpectedly, he was taught bad things by Liu Bei. Just because Liu Bei had the highest official position, he resisted all these crimes. When Liu Bei learned about it, he was not surprised at all. Afraid or surprised.
He had already thought that this would be the case, which was why he protected the prefects.
It is impossible for Man Chong to be guilty, why?
I thought he represented the East Palace and Liu Mastiff outside.
Just like this time, it is clear that many people know Man Chong's temperament, and anyone with a little knowledge can understand that this is what Man Chong did. However, the wind is still moving towards Liu Bei, and no one even talks about Man Chong's crime. If there was no one behind this, Liu Bei would not believe it. There was a pair of huge hands protecting Liu Mastiff, pushing away all the blame that was not good for him and letting others bear it. Liu Bei felt like a mirror in his heart. , he also knew that the huge hand stretched out from the Houde Hall.
But, what can he do? As a human subject, what can he do?
What's more, it is rare for the emperor to be punished on behalf of the king. Liu Bei does not hate cruel officials. The so-called cruel officials are just courtiers who are cruel to these self-proclaimed sages. On the contrary, Liu Bei treats these people He is quite respectful, just like Man Chong, Liu Bei appreciates his courage. If Liu Bei is allowed to come, maybe Liu Bei really won't be able to do this, but Man Chong will dare.
Since everyone in the world calls me a cruel official, then... for the sake of this big man in the world, I will be a cruel official... so what???
