At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

"Is it related to the Yuan family? This is not only related to the Yuan family, but also to the national law. Since it is a matter related to the national law, we cannot tolerate private punishment by family rules. This matter should be managed by the Sili Xiaowei's mansion. Yuan Jun, please understand."

Cheng Yu had no intention of backing down.

Yuan Si was a little angry.

"Cheng Xiaowei, I think you should know that the Yuan family is no longer a prosperous family of four generations and three princes, and the family situation is not as good as before. Even so, the Yuan family is not a family that can be slaughtered by others. If Cheng Xiaowei wants to take people , Second Young Master's face is not pretty!"

Yuan Si brought out the biggest backer and source of face of the Yuan family at the moment.

The emperor's second son, second son Guo Jun.

Dedicated to inheriting and interpreting the classics, giving up the opportunity to transform into a powerful family, what Yuan Shi got when he focused on clinging to the royal thigh.

Recognition and protection from the royal family.

Yuan Si did not believe that Cheng Yu dared to attack him.

Even if Guo Yang was the first, Yuan Si knew that Guo Peng hated Guo Yang very much, and there was no basis for any relationship with Guo Yang, and Guo Yang didn't have any credit, so he dared to do something to the [-] mu of land. , purely looking for death.

Now that I don't even have the qualifications to be surnamed Guo, I don't know how painful it will be.

Moreover, there were gossip in the palace, saying that the Supreme Empress complained to Guo Peng and was imprisoned in the palace by Guo Peng. Except for the Supreme Emperor and a few specific inner court eunuchs, no one was allowed to see her, and she was not allowed to move freely.

strangled any connection between the Supreme Empress and Guo Yang.

Guo Yang also lives under the strict monitoring of the emperor, and no one is allowed to provide even a little help to Guo Yang in any way.

After all, the Supreme Emperor retained a heart of love for his son, and hoped that Guo Peng would not be so cruel to Guo Yang, but Guo Peng flatly rejected him, and did not make any compromises.

On the one hand, it was to show his determination to clear the land, and on the other hand, it was because Guo Peng hated the mother and son so much.

Yuan Si privately speculated that this must have something to do with Guo Peng's indifferent relationship with the mother and son when he was young.

Because back then the Supreme Empress seemed to have had the idea of ​​letting the Supreme Emperor abolish the elders and establish the younger ones.

To be honest, this is also lack of greed, honestly guarding the prince and the land, the emperor has no reason to take action against your mother and son, and just let you go, out of sight and out of mind.

It turned out to be a good one, it happened to hit the muzzle of the gun. If you don't die, who will die?

The emperor's attack on Guo Yang had such origins, but it was absolutely not the case with the Yuan family.

The Yuan family dedicated their family's classic inheritance rights, gave up such precious things to help Guo Peng, and betrayed their own class, and only in this way did they get their status today.

This kind of status, you Cheng Zhongde can move it at your word?

Guo Jun is indeed not a prince, and there is no possibility of inheriting the throne at present, but he is the emperor's son after all.

To touch Yuan Shi is to slap Guo Jun in the face, and to slap Guo Jun in the face is to slap the emperor in the face.

You old man doesn't want to be good, even dare to slap the emperor in the face, isn't it too presumptuous of you?

Yuan Si originally thought that Cheng Yu would be suspicious, but who would have thought that Cheng Yu didn't seem to care about Guo Jun's affairs at all.

"The state has state laws, and the family has family rules. Everything must be done according to the rules. If Yuan violated the law, he must be investigated. Your Majesty has not given up on Li Yang because he is a brother. How can I be dismissed because of the second son? male?"

Cheng Yu was very angry, pointed at Yuan Si and scolded: "Are you doing this to involve the Second Young Master? Are you trying to say that the Second Young Master is behind this matter? Could it be that the Second Young Master is dominating your Yuan Si?" did you go to merge?"

Cheng Yu's trick of yin and yang strange energy secretly changed the concept of Dafa, which shocked Yuan Si.

Yuan Si suddenly realized that Cheng Yu was just a stick and would never hold back his hand.

And once this matter got serious, he would rely on his status as Guo Jun's father-in-law to confront Cheng Yu, and Guo Jun and the royal family would definitely be involved.

Chapter 1304 One thousand two hundred and ten four are people, they will die

Yuan Si felt a little flustered.

What Cheng Yu said was correct.

After the incident, he didn't know how Guo Jun felt, but it was inevitable for the emperor to be angry.

At that time, Cheng Yu doesn't say what will happen, Yuan's life may be difficult.

The four classic families, which depend on the protection of the emperor, have made many enemies in the court.

Because they don't have the title of resting with the country that will decrease every generation, the bureaucratic group and the military elite group are very unhappy with them. If it is not for the emperor's protection, their fate can be imagined.

Cheng Yu himself was the earliest representative of the bureaucratic group. Although he lost power, he still belonged to the bureaucratic group.

Is this group of people starting to counterattack?

The situation faced by the four major families is very bad, and once the emperor is annoyed...

that……

"Cheng Zhongde! You!"

Yuan Si stretched out his finger to Cheng Yu.

He gritted his teeth and hated Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu didn't care.

"Immediately hand over the relevant people to Sili Xiaowei's Mansion, otherwise, I will take coercive measures! I don't care if the second son is involved in the incident. I am already seventy, and I have lived enough. I want to see if you are I don’t think I’ve lived enough.”

Cheng Yu's words did not have the slightest warmth.

But Yuan Si only felt cold all over his body.

It is clear that winter has not yet arrived, but the bitter cold of winter has already been felt in advance.

Yuan Si didn't dare to continue to resist, so he had to cooperate honestly with Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu dispatched twenty pawns to fetch the people, and took away the two members of the Yuan clan who were in charge of the land property, and at the same time took away all the Yuan clan's land account books for inquiries.

Yuan Si watched this scene with a livid face, faced the crying clansmen, and returned to the back house without saying a word.

"Cheng Zhongde, I will never let you go!"

Yuan Si secretly made up his mind.

This revenge will be avenged sooner or later!

The news that Yuan Si handed over the two tribesmen involved in the case to Cheng Yu and brought them back to Sili Xiaowei's Mansion to assist in the investigation without any resistance spread quickly throughout Luoyang official circles.

Luoyang officials, big and small, turned pale with fright.

They didn't realize Cheng Yu's danger at all, they thought that Cheng Yu was old and old after being silent for several years, and they didn't know why he was the Sili captain.

Now they know.

Cheng Yubao is still young and full of vigor. He just took office for a month, and in the first battle, he blasted the Yuan family, one of the four classic families with aloof status.

It is said that the Yuan family was involved in the land annexation case in Runan County. It was said that the Yuan family underdeclared [-] mu of land in the declaration form. He dealt with Yuan Shi severely.

Officials are buzzing about it.

Yuan Shi, that is the father-in-law of the second son of the royal family, the father-in-law of the second in line to the throne.

In this era when the dust has not yet settled, not to mention whether doing so will anger the emperor, but once the second son is involved, or the second son shows dissatisfaction, Cheng Yu is also very dangerous.

Don't offend anyone and don't offend the royal family. This is the consensus of people in this era.

Is Cheng Yu crazy?

As soon as he was appointed as the captain of Sili, he drifted away as soon as he got power?

What is he going to do?

No one knows, and no one dares to comment publicly on this matter.

But others dare not comment on Cheng Yu, it doesn't mean Cheng Yu won't take the initiative to provoke them.

Cheng Yu had just blasted the Yuan family, and then sent officials from Sili Xiaowei's Department with pawns to the homes of the other three Shangshutai officials to take them.

It is said that these three people were also involved in the land annexation case in their respective hometowns. Similarly, they were dishonest in their confessions.

Under-reporting, omission of reporting, intentional non-reporting, thinking of protecting family members, protecting one's own career, the result was found to be a problem.

At the beginning, the emperor burned everyone's petition and declared that the past was not to blame, but they didn't expect the emperor to play word games.

Don't blame those who confess honestly, and those who are dishonest must be investigated, and the investigation will be even more ruthless.

Many officials immediately panicked.

When reporting to the emperor at the beginning, there were some people who, because their family acquired too much land, were afraid that this was the emperor's fishing law enforcement, so they underreported a little.

In the end, I never thought that the emperor didn't go fishing to enforce the law, but the current world newspaper was waiting for them here.

This wave is Cheng Yu's dimensionality reduction blow.

Powerful, actionable, and excuses.

Who made you not honestly explain the amount of land you own?

Do you regret it now?

late!

Four families in a row were blasted by Sili Xiaowei Cheng Yu, and the first fire was already raging, and the officials of Sili Xiaowei's mansion immediately started an overnight inspection.

Facing the wrong account book, some people tried to quibble, tried to confuse the public, and tried to use their backers to threaten Cheng Yu in order to be rescued, but Cheng Yu didn't like to fight wits with them, so he went straight to the torture tools.

The instruments of torture born out of the court torture in the former Han Dynasty, each of which can make people survive or die, such as stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, fried pork with chili peppers, and sliced ​​meat.

Oh yes, there are also sizzling steaks.

It is said that many of them came from the creativity of the current emperor. He felt that the instruments of torture should not only have power, but also have a sense of art.

As soon as these moves were used or even before they were used, with just a little gesture, these thin-skinned and tender-skinned guys immediately opened their mouths to explain.

Explain how they merged the land, how they ran and persecuted the farms and powerful manors.

Therefore, on the sixth day of October in the ninth year of Yande, Cheng Yu personally brought the first-stage review report to the palace, presented it to Emperor Guo Peng in person, and reported the results of his work.

Guo Peng is very satisfied with this.

The other three officials were easy to deal with. They were abolished directly, and their homes were ransacked and exiled. It was not difficult.

As for the last Yuan family's annexation of land in Runan County, it can only be said that dogs can't change their shit.

"Your Majesty, how should I punish Yuan Shi?"

Cheng Yu is not stupid, he looks tyrannical, but he knows that everything he did before can still be allowed by the emperor. As for the level of punishment, it depends on the emperor's will.

This is not something he can decide on his own.

After all, the Yuan family has a royal background, and Guo Jun, the second son, is involved. Guo Peng really needs to personally intervene in this matter.

Cheng Yu handed over the decision-making power to Guo Peng and asked Guo Pengsheng to judge.

He didn't know about Yuan's family's annexation of land in Runan not long ago, so he asked Cheng Yu to investigate, and found out that this matter had really nothing to do with Yuan Sizhen.

These lands are the two clansmen of the Yuan family who manage the property. They are greedy for profit. They want to restore Yuan's ancestral property in Runan, so they boldly act.

Intimidated by the relationship between the Yuan family and the royal family, no one among the local officials dared to stop them knowing about this matter, and some even helped the evildoers.

At the beginning, those two people were not very courageous, and they did a little bit of land. Later, they became more and more courageous, and directly merged and increased by one thousand mu by one thousand mu. Posture, ambition, and courage.

So Guo Peng was extremely annoyed.

Small fish and shrimp dare to annex the land.

Of course, he was very satisfied with Cheng Yu's high efficiency and high consciousness. He knew that such a matter as punishment could not be decided by himself.

"Zhongde has done a good job. This matter has a very bad impact. If he is a little careless, it will also involve my second son. The Yuan family is too courageous. He pretends to be a tiger, and the dog relies on the power of others. Relying on the royal prestige, he annexed the land in Runan. Treating the country's land as its own, being bold and not severely punishing is not enough for the people to be angry."

Guo Peng gave Cheng Yu the highest instruction.

Cheng Yu pondered Guo Peng's thoughts for a while.

"Your Majesty means...to kill chickens and monkeys?"

"There are always people who think that if they make meritorious service, they have the privilege of avoiding death, but Wei Guo does not have such a privilege."

Guo Peng smiled coldly: "Some people think that he is very strong and will not die. Then I will let them know the truth of this world. If they are human, they will die."
