"You bastard, how arrogant are you in front of my boss!"
Cao Xing stepped forward, kicked Gao Yuan to the ground, and gnawed a mouthful of dirt.
Gao Yuan, who fell on the ground, yelled continuously, pointing at Cao Xing, his eyes were stern: "How dare you beat the imperial court official!"
"Bah, beating you is considered light. Believe it or not, I'll kill you with one blow!" Cao Xing pulled out his waist knife, and made a gesture to slash Gao Yuan.
Before the matter became clear, of course Lu Bu would not let Cao Xing kill this person. He leaned slightly forward while sitting, and asked the county magistrate of Wen County: "Let me ask you, who made you stay here?" The rent tax of Shiyi was levied, and it was increased by more than ten times."
"Of course Marquis Wen told me."
Gao Yuan didn't think about it, so he took it for granted.
Lu Bu frowned, his eyes became more gloomy, and he asked coldly, "When did I tell you this?"
"When did you..." Gao Yuan sneered and was about to ridicule, but then he seemed to think of something, stopped suddenly, looked at Lu Bu with horror on his face, and after a long time, he whispered: "Are you—— — Lu Bu!"
As soon as these words came out, Pang Ji who came with him suddenly scolded: "Presumptuous, how dare the little county magistrate directly call Da Sima by his name!"
Pang Ji's words undoubtedly confirmed Lu Bu's identity.
"He he he he..."
In the field, Xiang Laoqi, who learned of Lu Bu's identity, could not speak well, his face was ashen, if it wasn't for the support of the person next to him, he would have been limp on the ground.
Thinking of scolding loudly in front of Lu Bu just now, the more he thought about it, the more frightened Xiang Lao Qi was, his eyes darkened, he leaned back, and fainted on the spot.
The rest of the farmers were also panicked, and they all knelt in the mud, not daring to raise their heads.
Seeing that these simple farmers were frightened, Lu Bu raised his hand: "You don't need to be polite, you all get up."
The farmers did not dare, and knelt in the fields, trembling with fear.
"If you don't get up, then Lu will have to come and help him up in person." Lu Bu said with a smile, trying to be as gentle as possible.
When the farmers heard this, they didn't dare to ask Lu Bu to come to the field to help them, so they all stood up quickly, and stood aside respectfully, not daring to move at all.
After comforting the people, the next thing Lu Bu had to do was to punish the local county magistrate.
Knowing that the person in front of him was the great Sima of the dynasty, Gao Yuan was also momentarily stunned, but fortunately he reacted quickly, rolled his eyes a few times, and then he was concerned, and said with a smile: "The great Sima is coming to Wen County." Why don't you notify the lower officials in advance, the lower officials should prepare early and go out of the city to meet them."
"Do you still know that you are an imperial court official?"
Under the moonlight, Lu Bu put a little frost on his face, and asked loudly: "Then have you ever thought that when you wake up after sleeping at home, these people have not even returned home. Also, I obviously avoided warming you up." Why do you have to impose a tax on the food of the people in the county?"
"This……"
Gao Yuan showed embarrassment, he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he said euphemistically: "There are many reasons for this matter, please also ask Marquis Wen to move to the government office, and the next official will report to you slowly."
"Is there anything you can't say in front of the people? Today, I want you to recruit here truthfully. If you can't tell the reason, I will send you to prison for a strict trial, and I will never tolerate it!"
Lu Bu didn't give Gao Yuan any face. For this kind of person who used his banner to harm the people, he deserved death.
Gao Yuan saw that Lu Bu was so ruthless, so he simply moved out of the backstage, his tone became a little more confident, and his voice also raised two points: "Da Sima, for the sake of the Gao family, please don't deliberately make things difficult. official."
"The Gao family? Which Gao family?"
Lu Bu narrowly frowned, showing suspicion, obviously he had never heard of it.
At this moment, Pang Ji stepped forward, leaned over and whispered in Lu Bu's ear: "Master, the Gao family mentioned by this population must be Chen Liu's famous family—the Gao family."
The Gao family has been filial piety for several generations, and the accumulation of Qingming has become a kind of political capital.He enjoys a high prestige among scholars, and in recent years, he has married the Yuan family of Runan, which can be said to have skyrocketed.
Whether it is Yuan Shao who is entrenched in Jizhou, or Yuan Shu who manages Huainan, there are many former disciples of the Gao family in his civil and military affairs.
With Gao and Yuan guarding him, Gao Yuan was in Hanoi, so he was naturally a person walking sideways. Even Wang Kuang, the governor of the county, was helpless.
"Don't talk about these useless things with me, I just want to know, who asked you to levy additional taxes? Also, where did the so much food collected every year go?"
Lv Bu even dared to detain Yuan Shu back then, how could he still be afraid of the threat of a little magistrate like him.
If Gao Yuan really sent the harvested grain to Chang'an, maybe it is understandable, but the problem is that so far, Lu Bu has not seen even a grain of grain.
"Da Sima, stay on the front line in everything, don't be so extreme!" Gao Yuan still had no intention of confessing, and wanted to continue dealing with Lu Bu.
But Lu Bu lost his patience, so he summoned Pang Ji who was behind him, and told him, "Yuan Tu, I will leave this person to you. I will give you one night. When I wake up tomorrow morning, I want to know all the answers."
"My lord, don't worry, within one night, he will definitely be able to make a confession."
Pang Ji bowed to accept the order, he had the heart to show in front of Lu Bu, so as to get the lord's reuse and favor.Now that the opportunity has come, one cannot let it go.
As for the way to get Gao Yuan to confess, there are so many torture methods in the prison, there will always be one that will make him open his mouth honestly.
Lu Bu saw that Pang Ji agreed straightforwardly, so he said no more, got on his horse, took advantage of the moonlight, and led the army to continue marching in the direction of Wen County.
After the army left, the farmers in the field finally breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that their words would offend Lu Bu just now, which would affect Yuchi.
Fortunately, God bless.
"Is he really Marquis Wen? It seems that he is not as vicious as rumored, and even... a little kind?"
"Nonsense, don't you see the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him!"
"Hey, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that Marquis Wen, who is so powerful in the world, and Da Sima, who holds a heavy army in his hand, would actually control me, an old bastard, and call me 'Old Man'."
While the farmers were discussing endlessly, Xiang Laoqi, who had fainted, slowly woke up, opened his eyes, and saw a group of chattering black shadows in front of him. He murmured in confusion: "This Where is it, hell?"
Then, passed out again.
Lu Bu's army walked for half an hour and arrived at the city of Wen County.
The army did not enter the city, but let Gao Shun lead the army and stationed outside the city.Lu Bu himself took twenty or thirty riders and walked into the city.
Among these 30 people, most of them are literati, including Xi Ce, Guo Jia and others.
"Boss, are we going to the county government?" Cao Xing, who followed behind him, looked around and asked curiously.
At this time, it was getting late, but people in the city were returning home one after another.When they saw Lu Bu and the others, they all took the initiative to avoid them. It wasn't until after Lu Bu and the others left that they dragged their exhausted bodies and continued walking towards their home.
Hearing Cao Xing's question, Lu Bu, who was riding on the back of the red dodder, shook his head slightly. He turned to look at the young man who was on the far right and served as Cangcao under him, and asked with a smile, "Boda, I heard someone mention it. Your hometown is in Wen County. Why, why don't you take me there?"
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Lu Bu had the idea of going to Sima's house, but Sima Lang, his subordinate Cangcao, dared not refuse.
So the group of people changed their way under the guidance of Sima Lang.
Not long after, they arrived at the gate of a mansion. By the moonlight, the three red characters of "Sima Mansion" on the door frame could be faintly seen.
