Chapter 12 Du Yuan's Death

The next morning, Liu He led his army into Yangdi City.

In fact, it was a large army, only about 800 people could fight under Liu He, and each of them was not complete with weapons and armor. No matter how you look at it, they didn't look like regular soldiers. Fortunately, Liu He, under the banner of the emperor, claimed that he was ordered to come to be the prefect of Yingchuan, but he was indeed not blocked.

However, no one came to greet the local gentry and celebrities, and adopted an attitude of not confrontation but not cooperation.

Liu He ignored these things. After all, it was normal for him to come for the first time, even if the other party did not trust them, but he believed that as his strength continued to improve, he would strengthen constraints on his soldiers and win the hearts of the people, he would definitely attract the attention of local celebrities.

But Liu He did not expect that his plan would be almost destroyed.

This person who destroyed Liu He's plan was naturally the restless Du Yuan.

Du Yuan was quite honest on the day after he arrived in Yangdi. After all, Liu He, as the prefect of the county, had to rectify order on this day and appointed officials. As an old figure who defected to Liu He from the beginning, he had to fight for some status in the prefect's mansion. But if he didn't go, how could the new prefect remember him?

In fact, there were seventeen counties in Yingchuan County at that time, but Kunyang, Wuyang, Dingling, Yanxian and other places in the east were occupied by Yuan Shu, and Yanling, Changshe, Xuxian and other places in the north were under the rule of Cao Cao's power. The only areas that were truly unowned were Yangdi, Yangcheng, Lunshi, Jiaxian and Yingyang. The county magistrates of the other four counties, except Yangdi, were either waiting or defending themselves, and had no intention of moving closer to him, the new prefect, so Liu He actually controlled only Yangdi.

This also led to no available talents around Liu He, so Du Yuan felt that the chance of becoming an official was still very high.

In fact, Liu He did give Du Yuan a military official, who was in charge of military affairs. His power was only under Guo Jia, the chief of Liu He who was in charge of administrative affairs of the whole county, Zhou Cang, the chief officer in charge of military affairs of the whole county, and Liao Hua, the supervisor in charge of supervision of the official. Even Pei Yuanshao was only in charge of the thief Cao, and his position was only comparable to him.

After Du Yuan received the reward from Liu He, his loyalty did rise to 50, which made Liu He feel that it was the time to use people, and Du Yuan might be able to help him support his stall.

However, the next day, Du Yuan's true identity was revealed. On that day, as the head of the military commander, he patrolled the streets with his soldiers. Suddenly he saw a young and beautiful young woman. He immediately felt aroused in his heart. He walked up and chatted with the young woman for a few words, and then asked if the other party would like to marry him.

The young woman was disgusted with Du Yuan at first, but because of his feelings as an officer and soldier, she responded a few more out of politeness, but she did not expect that the other party was so excessive and made such unreasonable requests.

The young woman immediately said seriously: "This military master, this is a bit too much. I have a husband, how can I get married? As an official of the court, Jun master should take care of the people as the basis, and I hope the general will take care of himself."

Du Yuan was furious and said with a grin, "I will give you face. I didn't expect that you, the little lady, would you slander me. Since that's the case, if you don't teach you a lesson, will you slander us prefect next time? I'll send me my order, tie the woman up and take it back to the mansion, hehe, I'll interrogate her in person."

"No." Most of the soldiers brought by Du Yuan were his confidants and had not changed their character. After hearing the order, he immediately stepped forward and captured the young woman without saying anything. Next, he would take her to Du Yuan's mansion.

At this time, a soldier next to Du Yuan suddenly stood up and said to Du Yuan softly: "Wait, General Du, the prefect clearly stipulated in the previous period that it is not allowed to force the robbery of a civilian woman. If you do this, you will violate the military order. Once you pursue it..."

"Bastard!" Du Yuan reached out and slapped the warrior, and then said forcefully: "Who said I snatch the girl from the people? I met a bad guy. Also, remember for me, what if I snatch the girl from the people? I have made great contributions to the prefect. Can he really kill me because of a pariah? As for the military law, that is my good brother Liao Hua. Do you think Liao Hua will pursue me based on our original relationship? Say no nonsense and take the woman back."

"No." Several soldiers agreed and immediately took the young woman to Du Yuan's mansion.

This incident naturally attracted the attention of passers-by, and the people were very indignant about it. Soon, the young woman's husband Wang San rushed to Du Yuan's mansion and immediately went to Du Yuan's mansion. He begged Du Yuan to let his wife go, but he did not expect that Du Yuan not only refused, but also ordered people to tie Wang San up and humiliate his wife in front of Wang San. In the end, Wang San's wife could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide. Wang San and Du Yuan fought desperately and were also killed by Du Yuan.

In fact, there were people around Du Yuan who were not his confidants. After seeing this scene, they were shocked and hurriedly ran to report to Liao Hua.

Liao Huawen was furious immediately. On the one hand, he reported the matter to Liu He, and on the other hand, he personally led his army to Du Yuan's mansion, captured Du Yuansheng, and escorted Liu He's prefect's mansion.

Liu He was furious about Anmin's affairs at that time. Suddenly, he heard that such a thing happened under his rule. He was furious and ordered all the officers and soldiers involved to be sentenced to abandon the market, and posted a notice, and publicly executed in the city center three days later.

The so-called abandonment of the market is to use the words of later generations to pull the Caishikou and kill it with one knife. Such a punishment can not only intimidate later generations, but also allow the people to see their fair and selfless side. It can be said that it is the most suitable punishment for Liu He to establish his authority and virtue.

Du Yuanwu didn't believe that Liu He would kill him. Until he was pushed to the city center and watched the executioner holding the ghost-headed sword expressionlessly, he finally woke up like a dream and said loudly to Liu He: "Young Master, please spare me, I will never dare to do anything. I will definitely go through fire and water for you in the future."

"Hmph, if I had known today, why should I be there? Du Yuan, I thought you had made great contributions to your refuge. Although your strength is a little worse and you are not very loyal to me, I turned a blind eye and finally gave you a position as the head of military officials. But you dare not abide by military discipline, bully men and women, and bully the people. How can I allow you to live in this world as a scumbag like you?"

Liu He said in a deep voice with a blank expression on his face.

Du Yuan did not repent and said, "I am a general under your command. When I surrendered to you, I also brought hundreds of brothers. I even gave you the wealth I had treasured for many years. I made such a great contribution. Did you kill my life for those untouchables? Or did you kill the donkey when you saw that I was useless?"

But Liu He shouted coldly: "Shut up! You scumbag, you actually said that the people under my command are untouchables. Don't forget that you had the same identity a few years ago. Du Yuan, why did you do that? Have you forgotten now? But you just cleared the name of a thief and had been a soldier for a few days. You were so eager to bully and humiliate the people. This is really unbearable. Humph, as for what you said to kill the donkey, I don't want to explain it now, because history will prove it to everyone in the world. The only thing I regret now is that I know you are not available, but I still appointed you as the head of the military commander. As a result, I lost two good people under my rule. I here solemnly promise that I will definitely bury the two unjustly dead and support their elderly and children until the elderly die old and the children become adults..."

At the end, Liu He's words were filled with deep pain and guilt, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "I, Liu He, here I swore that military and political officials would rather be insignificant than indiscriminate in the future. If there are any officers and soldiers who harm the people, no matter what their background or identity, they will be killed without mercy. Where is the execution of the prison officer?
