Chapter 120 Yangmou

() Luoyang City, as the capital of the Han Dynasty, is the most prosperous metropolis in the world, with a population of five to six million. Among the population of five to six million, naturally many are high-ranking officials and have privileges that are rare for ordinary people.

, but most of them are ordinary people.

As the population increased, local governance became a problem, so the imperial court set up Zhijinwu here to guard the place and prevent Xiaoxiao from doing evil. However, this only played a certain management role. For hundreds of thousands of people,

For a large city with a large population, this manpower is far from enough.

And more importantly, there are as many powerful people as dogs in Luoyang City. People with official status and titles are naturally not under the supervision of Zhi Jinwu. Sometimes they will even use the power of the government to attack the common people to gain their own interests. This is even more important.

It makes people dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

In the Han Dynasty, the distance between the upper and lower ranks was even clearer. After the common people were oppressed by the powerful, they did not even dare to file a complaint. Those who were forced to go to the government to sue the powerful often ended up very miserable. Over time,

, the conflict between the two parties has become deeper. Only because nothing has happened to ignite the conflict, the balance can be temporarily maintained.

And just a few months ago, when the chaos broke out in Shichangshi, some people who had been angry for a long time did some things that they would not dare to do in the past. Many powerful families suffered unforeseen disasters, and several whole families were killed this time.

He died unexpectedly in the turmoil. Regarding this, the ministers and the emperor also thought about investigating in detail after returning to the court, but in the end there was no evidence, so they had no choice but to let it go.

After Dong Zhuo's army settled in Luoyang, the public security here was a bit better than before. Only these Xiliang soldiers dared to commit illegal acts, while others were intimidated by their military power and did not dare to do anything wrong. Therefore, during this period,

It can be regarded as the most peaceful few months in Luoyang City. However, just after these peaceful months, something suddenly happened that shocked everyone.

It was the second day of late September. Early in the morning, at the gate of the Yamen where Jinwu used to be in charge, there were three men in tattered clothes kowtowing there, saying that they had grievances. This soon attracted a lot of attention.

Attracting the attention of the people around him, a large circle of people immediately gathered at the door of the yamen. Everyone was very confused as to what was going on.

You must know that since Bingzhou Dingyuan was defeated by Dong Zhuo, his official position of holding Jinwu no longer existed in the imperial court. Only one of Dong Zhuo's generals guarded the Yamen on his behalf, but he could not resolve the case as before.

But I didn't expect that someone would come to complain today. Don't they know what happened here?

But something that shocked the people even more soon happened. The yamen, which had not been a director recently, actually opened it. A sergeant wearing a battle jacket came out and invited the three people in. At the same time, he opened the door wide.

The convenient door allowed those curious people to go in and listen to the trial. This really made people a little confused. They didn't know what kind of style the general inside had.

After a while, in the lobby of the yamen, many people who came in to watch the theater knew a fact that they almost couldn't believe - the three people who had been kneeling at the yamen door in the early morning were actually the ones who were accused.

The Yuan family, the leader of the court officials, was suing them for the serious case of robbing land and killing people.

What shocked everyone even more was that the person who was standing high above the Zhijinwu main hall and questioning the common people was not the familiar officials in the past, but was replaced by a young man wearing only blue clothes. This made

Everyone couldn't help but doubt whether this person was qualified

The case was settled. But the young man ignored the discussions among the people in the hall, listened carefully to the narratives of the three people, and then looked at the soldiers standing on the left and right: "You guys go to the Yuan family and bring those few people to the Yuan family."

Bring me this illegal slave of the Yuan family!"

"Yes!" But the soldiers standing in the hall were obviously not as suspicious as the common people. After the young man gave the order, they immediately agreed and immediately retreated.

Suddenly, the common people who were watching the trial were not calm. They did not care that they were still in the lobby of the government, so they started talking: "Do you think this is true? When will the government still

Taking care of the grievances of our common people, how dare you go against the noble family of Taifu Yuan?"

"I'm really not sure about this. Maybe I just want to show off? After all, it has always been the way for officials to protect each other. Even if these generals are from Xiliang now, they can't offend the Yuan family for us common people?"

"Yeah, maybe he didn't know how powerful the Yuan family was, so he dared to do this. I guess after a while, he will kick us all out of the yamen, and then convict the three people who dared to sue the Yuan family?"

"Hey, who says it's not the case? It's really a crime..."

The voices of the people's discussions were clearly heard by Ma Yue, who was sitting high in the hall. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that the status of the judicial yamen of the Han Dynasty in the minds of the people was too low. This time he

It is necessary to change everyone's concept and let the powerful people who treat evil as normal know that there is a price to pay for breaking the law.

Although this may be detrimental to future self-reliance, Ma Yue does not regret accepting this task in the end, because everything he does is beneficial to the people!

??????????

Ever since Yuan Wei rejected Dong Zhuo's proposal to abolish the emperor and establish a new one, the Yuan family has been preparing for the worst. They still dare not treat these Xiliang barbarians in a normal official fight.

At that time, he will send troops to attack the Yuan family by force.

However, Yuan Wei is not too worried about this. After all, his Yuan family is not comparable to others. Even in Luoyang City, there are nearly a thousand slaves. The Yuan family's mansion is even taller and stronger. Even if a large army comes to attack, it will still take some time.

Time. Moreover, he firmly believed that the imperial court and the people of Luoyang would not sit back and watch the Yuan family suffer. Someone would definitely come to help. So why should he be afraid of Dong Zhuo?

But the Yuan family had been preparing for several days, but there was no movement from Dong Zhuo's side. This made everyone relax again, thinking that Dong Zhuo had no choice but to endure it after realizing that the matter was impossible.

But just after this mood came up, several Xiliang warriors came to the door that morning. They went straight into the Yuan family mansion without warning, and they were not stopped until they entered the second courtyard.

: "Who are you? How dare you break into the Yuan family's mansion without permission? You really don't know how to live or die!"

Those Xiliang soldiers did not take this threat seriously at all. After smiling contemptuously, they took out a document with a large seal and threw it on the Yuan family steward who led someone to block their way: "I have been ordered to

I have come here to invite Yuan Zhong, Yuan Cheng, Yuan Xin, Yuan Yi and Yuan Ren to answer questions from Jin Wu." This leader is Wang Feng, whom Ma Yue trusts most. Since Ma Yue wants to handle this matter, he naturally

He became the vanguard.

"Huh?" The steward was shocked when he heard that he was actually here to get these five powerful people of the Yuan family. Looking at the official document in his hand, it was indeed stamped with the official seal of Jinwu Zhi, which was obviously official.

This made him even more surprised: "I wonder what these five people have committed, so that they have to work hard to come here to invite you?"

"The evil deeds they have done have been revealed, and now someone is suing them." Wang Feng replied with a sneer: "Hurry up and let the five of them come out and follow us back. Otherwise, they are resisting arrest. Then we will not be blamed.

Troops are sent into the house to search for people!"

"What?" Hearing that someone was suing the five of them, the manager of the Yuan family was a little angry: "Who is the person who sued them for evil? Ordinary people?"

"Of course, with their low status, they dare to bully ordinary people!"

"When did Zhi Jinwu take care of such matters? This has never happened before..." The steward became even more angry when he heard this. What is the status of the Yuan family, that someone dares to sue their wages?

It's disgusting, and what's especially disgusting is that Zhijinwu actually sent people to arrest him. This is really unreasonable!

It's a pity that his anger was nothing to the soldiers in front of him. They just said: "We are just doing official business. If you have any objections, you can go to the Yamen to see our general and talk about it. Now,

We are just here to take the person, please hand him over first!" This time the word "please" has been changed to the more obvious word "take".

"You guys wait, I'm going to call out the five people." The steward suddenly realized that these people were not the soldiers in Luoyang City in the past, and his threatening words had no effect on them.

He had no choice but to rush to the back to ask the Yuan family for instructions.

After a while, the news was known to everyone in the Yuan family, and many people were not angry after hearing it: "It's really unreasonable. A small government official dares to come to my Yuan family to take someone away.

If we hand it over to them, how will our face be saved?"

"That is, this person must not be handed over to them! Dong Zhuo didn't dare to get angry when he was treated like this by the master of the family last time. It's not a big deal if we reject them this time."

Hearing his nephews saying such self-righteous words, Yuan Wei showed a wry smile. Others might just think that this would damage the Yuan family's reputation in Luoyang, but he was fighting in the court.

The old bureaucrat, who has dealt with all kinds of conspirators all his life, has already seen the vicious side of the other party from this incident.

This incident is by no means isolated. This was Dong Zhuo's counterattack against him after a few days of silence. This incident may not seem like a big deal, but it can easily lead to catastrophe. Once he refuses to surrender, Dong Zhuo will have enough

They used troops against the Yuan family for some reason. When Dong Zhuo's division became famous, neither the officials nor the people in Luoyang City could speak for them.

What's even more frightening is that even if the Yuan family surrenders and hands over the people, the matter will not stop there. Let's not talk about how many of these five people falling into Dong Zhuo's hands will be detrimental to the Yuan family.

Just such a representative beginning of the incident is enough to give the people of Luoyang a reminder: now they can sue the officials and get back the grievances they suffered in the past!

As the most powerful family in Luoyang City, the Yuan family has committed many crimes over the years. As long as someone dares to accuse them, it will be enough to make them pay a heavy price. Dong Zhuo can use this to throw everyone in the Yuan family into prison.

Go inside.

What makes Yuan Wei even more chilling is that although he has understood all this, he is unable to deal with Dong Zhuo's sudden move. No matter whether he surrenders or not, the final result is
Chapter completed!
