Chapter 133
() When everyone in the Yuan family heard this familiar voice, they stopped rushing forward and immediately stepped back. The person who could make the Yuan family stop resisting with just one word was naturally their head Yuan Wei.
I saw him slowly walking to the door with the support of two servants. As he walked, a few coughs came from his mouth.
After Yuan Wei became the first person to advocate the abolition of Li Li, he felt very depressed. Coupled with his old age, he couldn't afford to fall ill. However, he was in good health after all, and he was treated by imperial doctors, so these days
After coming down, things have improved.
He just kept lying on the bed to recuperate his body. But today, after hearing the news that Yuan Fang had sent, Yuan Wei could no longer lie down. He hurriedly asked someone to help him out and stopped him in time.
There was a fight.
Just when Yuan Wei stopped everyone from the Yuan family from coming forward, Ma Yue also stepped forward and stopped many people, preventing them from rushing forward. After all, he was speaking for these people, so he signaled to Ma Yue
Afterwards, the people became a little quieter, waiting to see if things would change.
Yuan Wei coughed for a while, and then his eyes fell on Ma Yue, who was in the lead, and he immediately knew his identity: "Ma Zhongling?" When he said these three words, deep resentment flashed in the old man's eyes.
It was the person in front of me who had put the Yuan family and myself in such embarrassment. I didn't expect that he would come to the door again today!
"That's right." Ma Yue briefly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I have met Mr. Yuan. It seems that Mr. Yuan's health is not very good, but you should take care of yourself."
"Humph, I'm not dead yet, so I don't have to worry about you." After suppressing the anger in his heart, Yuan Wei continued to ask: "Why did you suddenly bring so many people to my Yuan family home?"
"I am currently serving as Zhi Jinwu. I discovered that there are grievances in Luoyang City. I have come to invite the two young masters of the Yuan family and several slaves to question me." Ma Yue felt the pressure emanating from Yuan Wei.
But he remained unmoved and made his purpose clear.
"You are so presumptuous! You can arrest members of our Yuan family just when you want? You are not an official, so what qualifications do you have to do this?" Immediately, people from the Yuan family started making noises. Obviously, they were still upset and couldn't bear it.
He couldn't help but speak out.
Ma Yue shook his head and said: "I am indeed not an official of the imperial court, but my current position is absolutely true. When I am in my position, I will pursue my own affairs and do my best. Since the people of the Yuan family have violated the laws of our Han Dynasty, I, Ma Yue, should
Find out and let them accept the punishment of the law. Please also ask Mr. Yuan not to break the law and interfere with the arrest of people, otherwise..."
There was a lot of threat in these words, which made everyone in the Yuan family even more angry. Some people couldn't help but started to curse. But they had only cursed twice before they were interrupted by Yuan Wei: "Shut up!
Mr. Ma, you and my Yuan family have never had any quarrels, so why do you keep looking for trouble with us again and again? Do you really think that our Yuan family is easy to bully?"
"Yuan Taifu's words are wrong. I'm just doing official business, so why should I target him?" Faced with Yuan Wei's questioning, Ma Yue just insisted that he was here on official business, which made it difficult for the other party to argue. And his words also gave him the impression that he was here on official business.
The people promised
With so much courage, they also began to clamor: "The Yuan family's rampant lawlessness in Luoyang is visible to everyone. Now that someone has finally dared to stand up, you still want to use your power to deny it. It is really unreasonable!"
Seeing the people's anger and the Xiliang sergeants gearing up, Yuan Wei's heart suddenly sank. He found that it would be difficult to solve the problem today. But he was asked to hand over his two nephews like this
But it's not that easy. After all, they are different from those slaves, and it is related to the dignity and face of the Yuan family. After thinking about it, Yuan Wei said: "I have a few words to say to Mr. Ma alone. You
Can you follow me into the house to talk about it?" He said and looked at Ma Yue.
Ma Yue was startled when he saw that he suddenly made such a request. Wang Feng on the other side immediately whispered: "Young master, you have to be careful of their deception. It's better not to go in. If you have anything to say, you can make it clear here.
.”
Ma Yue shook his head: "No, it's better to explain some things face to face. There are too many people here, so it's a bit inconvenient. You can go in with me later, I'm afraid they won't be able to play any tricks."
"Yes!" Wang Feng had always admired Ma Yue's judgment, but when he saw what he said, he stopped insisting and nodded in agreement.
Later, Ma Yuecai said to Yuan Wei: "Since Mr. Yuan has something to explain to me, I must obey my orders. Please."
"Please!" Yuan Wei did not expect that Ma Yue would agree so happily. After a moment of surprise, he led everyone back. Unexpectedly, Ma Yue suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I don't think there is any need for others.
We went in together? You and I only need to bring two people in each to discuss it. If there are more people, it will be troublesome."
"..." After hearing this, Yuan Wei showed a bit of anger and fear on his face. He finally understood how powerful Ma Yue was. He actually didn't shy away from any etiquette and exposed the possible threat in one sentence.
And he turned his back on guests and made such a request. But now, he had no choice but to accept the request: "Yuan An, help me in."
"Master Ma, you must not go in there. Once you go, I'm afraid they will fall out." Seeing this, the common people hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them. They relied on Ma Yue to act so boldly. If he really did
If something happens, all of them will be doomed.
"It doesn't matter, they haven't dared to touch me yet." Ma Yue smiled disapprovingly, and then walked into the Yuan family gate with Wang Feng, but did not even look at the other Yuan family members who stayed at the door.
Several people came to a living room, and the guests and hosts took their seats. Yuan Wei just wanted someone to prepare something to eat, but Ma Yue refused: "I'm here today to talk about things, so there's no need for Taifu Yuan to be too polite.
If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Okay, since Mr. Ma is so happy, I won't delay any more time." Yuan Wei smiled hard, and then said: "Mr. Ma, this series of actions were all ordered by Dong Shijun?
"At this time, there is no need for them to talk in circles anymore, they can just say what they have to say.
Ma Yue did not deny this: "Yes, that's exactly it."
"Then Dong Shijun did this to me in order to force me to agree with him on the matter of abolishing the establishment. Now that the matter is settled, why are you still unwilling to let go?" Yuan Wei said, staring at Ma Yue with his old eyes.
, his expression was full of anger.
Ma Yue smiled: "Why, does Mr. Yuan still think that his family is not at fault until now? Yes, the reason why I have been looking for faults in the Yuan family for half a month is to force you to agree to abolish the establishment. But other than that
In addition, I also do this because I want to seek justice for the innocent people who were bullied by you and whose families were ruined in the end! Your Yuan family relied on your family status to kill more than a hundred people in Luoyang. This time is just repayment.
It’s just some bad debts, so what does it count?”
"You..." Yuan Wei didn't expect Ma Yue to speak so directly. He suddenly felt a surge of breath, then he started coughing and couldn't say anything.
Yuan An on the side saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to caress his master's back. At the same time, his eyes almost burst into flames and he stared at Ma Yue. Unfortunately, Ma Yue turned a blind eye to his gaze and just looked at Yuan Wei and continued.
: "Is it right for the Yuan family to oppress kind people, but it's wrong for me to seek justice for them today? Please answer with your heart, Mr. Yuan!"
After coughing for a while, Yuan Wei calmed down his breathing. He looked at Ma Yue and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect Mr. Ma to still have such a public heart. Ha, haha... How ridiculous is that! Since
If you have this intention, then why do you want to help Dong Zhuo achieve this great rebellion?
Don't you think what you did is insignificant? In order to get justice for the people, you can ignore the justice of your family and country, let Dong Zhuo abolish the emperor and establish a new one, and do such crazy things
.And you actually dare to talk about morality here?"
"What is light? What is heavy?" Faced with Yuan Wei's accusation, Ma Yue asked in turn. Before the other party could answer, he had already given the answer: "The people are the most important, the country is the second, and the king is the most important."
Light! I think Yuan Taifu must have heard these words of Mencius.
In my heart, nothing is more important than the people. As for the emperor? Changing the emperor has nothing to do with the people. Moreover, King Hongnong is indeed not a qualified emperor. It is difficult to replace the herdsmen.
Just change it!"
"You...cough cough cough cough..." Yuan Wei coughed again when he heard these words. These words had a particularly serious impact on him, making his whole head hurt. He had previously
I have almost exhausted all the excuses I can think of, but this Ma Yue is still unmoved, which is indeed a headache.
After another long while, Yuan Wei stopped coughing and his expression became even more dejected. However, he still refused to give up and stared at Ma Yue: "Do you know that I am not the only one you have offended by what you did today?
The Yuan family and all the rich and powerful families in the world are watching. If you are an enemy of my family, you are an enemy of the rich and powerful families in the world. Have you thought clearly about the benefits and harms involved?"
"Of course I know the pros and cons! But what I see even more is the pros! After this incident, the world's wealthy families will restrain themselves, and the common people will no longer be bullied by them so often. This is the best thing. As for
I may cause other people's dissatisfaction. Since I, Ma Yue, have done it, what else can I do?
How can you be afraid that people will hold grudges?" After Ma Yue said this, he stood up and said, "I must be tired too. That's all for today. People, I must take them away. If you still refuse,
"Hand the person over, don't blame me for having someone take it by force, and ask Mr. Yuan to consider it carefully."
Yuan Wei looked at Ma Yue's determined look and knew that he couldn't let him go back empty-handed this time, so he could only sigh: "Who are you going to take? I just asked them to go with you...
But I also have a request. If you refuse to agree, even if my Yuan family is destroyed, I, Yuan Wei, will not hand him over to you!" As he spoke, he stared at Ma Yue, waiting for him to give the answer.
