I, Dong Zhuo, love the people like a son

"Since I have decided to assist the Han family and love the people like my own son, I wonder how the Taiwei plans to proceed?" Jia Xu, who had not said anything, frowned slightly, feeling that the last words of old Dong were very wrong, so she changed the subject.

Old Dong smiled, looked at Zhong Yao and said, "Yuan Chang, tell me about what happened yesterday."

Zhong Yao trembled all over at that time, and said nervously: "Taiwei!...Didn't it be agreed to not talk about it?"

"I didn't ask you to start with Hu Jizhangtai, but directly talk about the He Yong case and Lu Kui's ingenious extortion of the people's land." Old Dong replied very caringly, waving his sleeves.

Zhong Yao was ashamed and angry, he wished there was a crack in the ground, and wished he could pick up a pottery bowl and smash it on Old Dong's face: Didn't you just say that? !

Sima Yi opened his mouth and asked innocently, "Hu Jizhangtai, what's that place?"

Master Jia Xu smiled and said, "It's the place you want to go when you grow up..."

Li Ru couldn't help but smile, and said: "Yuan Chang, food and sex, it doesn't have to be like this."

Dong Min laughed loudly, with a very relaxed look on his face: "Yuan Chang, go as soon as you go, what's the big deal?... The old man thought that you scholars don't like women."

Dong Huang also felt close, patted his chest and said: "Brother Yuan Chang, I will go with you some other day. Since you are uncle's confidant, next time a certain family will invite you!"

What else can Zhong Yao do?

He could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and hurriedly talked about He Yong's case and Lu Kui's ingenious extortion of people's land, and then quickly changed the subject: "Taiwei, these two cases are simple and clear. Is there any deep meaning behind it?"

"Oh..." Old Dong nodded, and said with a smile: "Part of the land that Lu Kui seized was owned by Shi Chang's servant Bi Lan. As for the case of He Yong, didn't you say that part of the assets belonged to Shi Chang's servant?"

Zhong Yao frowned first, then his eyes flashed, and then he gritted his teeth.But in the end, he still bowed and said bitterly: "Taiwei, this subordinate knows what to do!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Dong Huang again: "My dear brother, I am free this afternoon!"

The task delivered by Old Dong was too stressful, and he couldn't take it anymore...

Chapter 82 My daughter can't figure it out!

Three days later.

In the backyard of the Cai Mansion, a servant came forward depressed and said, "Miss, there is another group outside..."

Before he finished speaking, Cai Yan, who was always gentle and good-natured, couldn't help interrupting, and said irritably, "No see!..."

As he spoke, he handed a wooden sign with the words 'No visitors' written on it to the servant, and said: "Hang it at the gate of the mansion, so that those people don't come and disturb people's cleanliness."

"Miss, it's better not to hang up." The servant looked even more dumbfounded.

"Why?"

"Mr. Cai has already hung up two days ago, but..."

"What's the result?"

"Miss, don't forget that Mr. Cai's calligraphy is the best in the world. The villain was stolen before it was posted for two breaths. I heard that it can be sold for [-] yuan in the East Market in a blink of an eye!"

"My calligraphy is not as good as my father's." Cai Yan replied confidently, and then felt something was wrong: Is my calligraphy not as good as my father's, is it something to be proud of?

Unexpectedly, the servant looked even weirder, and said: "Miss, your calligraphy can be sold for five thousand yuan in Dongshi!"

"Why, why?"

"Everyone in Luoyang knows that you are closer to the Taiwei. You have disguised yourself as a man and traveled to Fangshi with the Taiwei several times. Now all the scholars and officials are happy with the word "Miss Dee", hoping to use this to talk to the Taiwei. talk……"

"..."

Cai Yan was speechless for a moment, and then she felt unspeakable anger and annoyance: "It's because of uncle again... What happened to him this time?"

"Good thing! It's a great thing to help the country and revive the Han Dynasty!"

Cai Yong came back cheerfully, his face was flushed, his steps were a little staggering, he obviously smelled of alcohol, but he seemed to be in a very happy mood.

"Zhao Ji doesn't know, the Taiwei has done a big thing in the past few days!"

As he spoke, he sat down with a buttock, and talked eloquently: "Two days ago at the court meeting, Ting Wei Zheng Zhongyou came to the table, and when he said that he had no property in He Yong's family, it was found that part of the property was left by the ten permanent servants."

"The old ten permanent servants?"

Cai Yan'e frowned slightly, and immediately understood the key point: "A few months ago, the Han court was in turmoil, and the scholars led troops to break into the forbidden palace and killed all the eunuchs."

"Those eunuchs and rebels bewitched the first emperor, filled their pockets, extorted money, and accumulated a lot of family property. But after the turmoil, everyone tacitly stopped mentioning this matter, and those assets seemed to disappear overnight! "

"Their family property is not only expensive..." Speaking of this, Cai Yong couldn't help gnashing his teeth, and said, "I heard an anecdote when my father was still in court in the early years."

"It's about the first emperor having a sudden whim, wanting to go to the top of the palace to overlook the beautiful scenery of Luoyang. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, the ten permanent servants knelt down and tried to persuade him, saying 'the emperor does not climb high', otherwise it will be ominous."

"The emperor doesn't climb high?" Cai Yan thought for a while, and thought: "There is indeed a saying in the book. It is said that people who climb high like to go high, especially the emperor. If the emperor wants to climb high and look far away all day long, he will definitely spend money and waste money to build palaces. , As a result, the people's hearts turned against each other and complaints arose everywhere."

"Heh... daughter, you still don't understand the subtleties of the human heart."

Cai Yong gave a wry smile, and said sadly: "The ten permanent servants are not afraid of the people's disapproval, and there are complaints all over the place. It is they who have acted recklessly and made a lot of money, and their personal mansions are more luxurious and extravagant than each other, and each family is more than one family!"

"If the first emperor climbed up and looked far away, he would definitely see that his own palace was not as grand as those eunuchs' mansions. How could he not be furious?"

"Damn eunuch temple party!"

Cai Yan couldn't help but widen his almond eyes, and whacked his sleeves angrily: "You can see the whole leopard at a glance. From this, we can see how amazing the assets of the ten permanent servants are, how rich they are!"

After speaking, he suddenly woke up, his expression changed greatly: "Why did those property fields come under He Yong's name?"

"That's right... the Taiwei also asked the same question in the hall."

Cai Yong's expression became more and more bitter, he was both angry and disappointed and said: "All the ministers of the court know what's going on, but no one dares to stand up and tell the truth."

"There is no one there?" Cai Yan was even more shocked: If so, you can still see the whole leopard from a glimpse, which shows how dark the Han court has become!

"It's a good thing it didn't end up like this."

Cai Yong's expression softened again, and he said a little excitedly: "After everyone was silent for a while, Shangshu Lu Ziqian suddenly stood up and denounced the gangsters for hiding from relatives and harming the public and self!"

"Shangshu Lu Zigan?" Cai Yan suddenly became worried, and asked hastily: "Then, uncle this time?..."

The last time Lu Zhi got up suddenly, he pointed at Old Dong's nose and yelled at rebels and traitors, and firmly disagreed with the abolition of the emperor.Fortunately, he was well-known all over the world, and Old Dong was new to Luoyang at that time, and his foundation was not stable, so he didn't care about dealing with Lu Zhi.

"Don't worry, Lu Ziqian spoke uprightly this time, how could the Taiwei blame him?"

Cai Yong smiled reassuringly, and said: "Besides, Lu Ziqian and Zhu Gongwei have a good relationship, and perhaps they have secretly known the Taiwei's painstaking efforts to abolish King Hongnong. This outspoken statement has won the Taiwei's heart."

"The two looked at each other and smiled at the end, as if their grievances and grievances were resolved in a tacit understanding."

"Well, that's good..." Cai Yan finally felt relieved, his face couldn't help being happy, and then said: "Then, what happened after that?"

"Later, Zhu Gongwei, the lieutenant of Sili, couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up to speak out. Then Sikong Xunshuang, Henan Yin Wangyun, Zongzheng Liu Ai, Tingwei Xuanfan, Yushi Zhongcheng Liu Xiao and others also expressed their support for Lu Zigan."

Cai Yong couldn't help becoming more excited, dancing with his hands and feet, "Daughter, you were not there. I never thought that our loyal ministers and capable men, under the secret encouragement of the Taiwei, would actually speak out again with high spirits and generosity!"

"God bless my man, there is hope for revival!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but cast his body on the ground, bowed deeply to the sky, and couldn't help crying.

Cai Yan turned her bright eyes, but said coldly: "Father, so many people have come forward to speak out, you won't pay it back?..."

"Uh..." Cai Yong, who had just paid his respects, froze suddenly, and said shyly, "Why, I was too excited to be a father, so I forgot..."

"What's more, all the lords of Gungun are upright and upright. Most of them are fathers, not many, and few of them are not too few..."

"Father!..." Cai Yan was completely speechless at this time, and said directly: "Nowadays, the Duke of Manchao, who doesn't know that you are on uncle's boat?"

Pointing to the door again, he hated it for being indisputable: "Everyone has come to the door, but you are still covering your ears and stealing the bell, pretending to be deaf and dumb..."

"Zhao Ji, I was so excited for my father this time, I forgot."

Cai Yong was very aggrieved, because he told the truth this time: "You also know that your father's thoughts are delicate and sentimental. At that time, you saw that the imperial court had taken on a new look, and there were many loyal and upright people everywhere. All you could think about was how to write a fu... ..."

"Oh..." What can Cai Yan do?

After all, this is my own father.

In fact, I also know that the old father has a lot of fate. After losing his wife in middle age, his temperament has changed, and the blood in his heart has turned cold, so it is not easy to be too harsh.

Especially today, after finally being happy for a while, he swept the atmosphere by himself.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help patting Cai Yong's shoulder softly with her mother's love rising, and then took the initiative to expose this part and said: "Then what happened later?..."

"Later?" Cai Yong reacted after being taken aback for a moment, and said happily again: "Later, the Taiwei saw that the time was ripe, and immediately asked the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case all the way, and find out those big men who are selfish and wolf-hearted. Canonical punishment, to defend the majesty of the "Han Law"!"

"The Son of Heaven is ready to play immediately. Ting Wei Zheng Zhongyou is in charge of the case. Sili Xiaowei Zhu Jun, Yushi Zhongcheng Liu Xiao, and Luoyang Cheng Sima Fang are assisted. We must investigate the case to the bottom. And the ten permanent attendants and those who The family property and property of the locust thief will be returned to the hands of the common people!"

"Good!..." Hearing such a result, Cai Yan couldn't help clapping his hands and cheering up: "If this is the case, there is hope for the big man's revival. Uncle, he...is really an honest man with a kind heart and a heart for the people!"

"Not only that." Hearing Cai Yan praised Dong Zhuo this time, instead of being depressed, Cai Yong echoed, "The Taiwei has invited me for another matter."

"It is said that the great man governs the country with filial piety and etiquette. Although we have to get to the bottom of it this time, we must also 'based on facts and the law as the criterion'. Severe trials, lenient sentences, and severe punishments are fair, just and open, so that the common people convince."

Cai Yan's excited expression suddenly collapsed, and her pretty face was full of entanglement and depression: "He also has the face to invite these?... He was obviously the one who framed He Yong, how could it be such an incomparably subtle and correct result in the end? "

With that said, he got up and went out.

Cai Yong immediately shouted: "Zhao Ji, where are you going?"

"Go to my uncle's mansion and ask him what's going on!..." Cai Yan stopped, stomping his feet angrily: "Daughter can't figure it out, really can't figure it out!"

"Hey, then you go through the back door." Cai Yong didn't stop him this time, but reminded him intimately: "Those hateful pleaders are still blocking the front door."

"Oh, my daughter knows."

"Sister, I want to go too!" Cai Wan jumped out from nowhere and entangled Cai Yan.

"What are you going to do?"

"The food in that ugly fat uncle's house is delicious, and you can play with sister Bai..."

Seeing the two daughters like this, Cai Yong couldn't help feeling emotional.Then he clenched his fists and made up his mind: next time the Taiwei has something to do, the old man will definitely remember it!

Chapter 83 It's Not That I Don't Work Hard, It's That Thief Dong Is Too Cunning

When Cai Yan sneaked to the Taiwei's Mansion, the atmosphere in the wine shop in the southeast of Luoyang City was not harmonious.

Snow kept falling.

Under the same roof, Yuan Wei gradually felt that everyone's hearts were changing.

Occasionally a gust of cold wind blows the dead leaves in the courtyard outside the window, adding a bit of loneliness and depression to the dreary room.

"Everyone..." Seeing that everyone hadn't spoken for a long time, he had no choice but to take the lead and said, "We are in great trouble! I didn't expect Thief Dong's counterattack to be so sharp and vicious, and he has the potential to uproot us!"

After saying this, Yuan Kai's heart sank even more.

I used to think that Dong Zhuo was on the side of Wufu, but with a little luck, he took advantage of the chaos to take over Luoyang.I only need to do a little bit of manipulation to make that fat man go back and forth from anywhere.

Unexpectedly, the development of the matter was completely beyond expectation and control.

Dong Thief first acted vigorously and fiercely, controlling all the military power in Luoyang, and then by abolishing the emperor, he monopolized the court.

At this point, Yuan Wei was only surprised, and didn't feel any danger.

Then the confrontation over the robbery of the royal tomb failed, followed by He Yong's arrest and his death in fear, and then the "newsletter" was born out of nowhere... All kinds of ominous things have gradually crushed the self-confidence he had cultivated in decades of ups and downs. .

Especially this time, Dong Zhuo borrowed the law of the Han Dynasty to follow the vines justifiably. Not only will he further tear off the glamorous coat of the scholars, but he has also extended his tentacles to their skin.

"Teacher, I'll wait..."

Chengmen school captain Wu Qiong looked slumped, looked at the gloomy people around, and then said frustratedly: "Let me admit it, we are not the opponent of Dong thief at all!"

"Let's not say that he has the military power, but just talking about the 'reporting briefing', he played us around!"

Speaking of this matter, Wu Qiong was even more depressed, saying: "As soon as that incident came out, it easily swayed the public opinion of the people in Luoyang, and shook the foundation that we and other scholars have accumulated for hundreds of years."

"This move can be described as a stroke of genius. It is hard to guard against and impossible to deal with. Unexpectedly, he has not exposed it at all. Instead, it makes us think that Xu Wenxiu did it."

The more he talked, the more bitter his expression became, and the lower his voice became: "Then Thief Dong secretly instructed us to excuse Xu Wenxiu together in the hall."

"Such an understatement to pick myself out, not to mention, but also win Xu Wenxiu's heart, and even use the newsletter to manipulate public opinion openly."

Speaking of this, Wu Qiong couldn't help but put her head in her hands, and said in fear: "Such a man with a deep city, a twisted mind, a cruel and cruel person, what can we fight with him!"

The implication is not that I don't work hard, but that Thief Dong is too cunning.

"Shut up!" Zhou Yan jumped up when he heard the words, and shouted angrily: "Tie Dong is rebellious and domineering, causing chaos to the court, and even more trying to destroy the cornerstone of stability in this world."

"At this time of crisis, you didn't think about how to make things right, but you messed up yourself first, wouldn't it be ridiculous!"

Wu Qiong was very timid when facing Dong Zhuo, but he was very tough when dealing with his colleagues. He said in a strange way: "Zhong Yuan is far-sighted, I don't know how you plan to counter it this time?"

"I!..." Zhou Yan choked, exasperated: "Although I have no countermeasures yet, at least I have not changed my original intention!"

"Heh, it was because you were so ugly when you divided up Shi Changshi's property, and you were afraid that you would be the first to be found out this time, so you encouraged me to wait for a plan?"

"The rat speaks nonsense, willing to degenerate!"

"Hmph, you pretend to be smart, but you are really stupid!"
