The Nameless of the Common Clans

"Bang~"

The bamboo paper in his hand was pressed heavily on the case by Chen Mo, and the atmosphere in the governor's mansion gradually became solemn as Cai Rong cried.

"Lord, send out troops, and I will personally twist off that old thief Wang Yun's head!" Dian Wei roared angrily. Cai Yong is Chen Mo's father-in-law. Not to mention that he has done nothing wrong, even if he did something wrong, he will not do anything wrong. Can't we just go to jail so hastily?

"Lord, I'm afraid Wang Yun has revenge in mind regarding this matter." Man Chong saluted Chen Mo.

Chen Mo naturally understood this, thought for a while and said: "Immediately go to the court and ask why you are so slow to treat the great scholar? Don't make any moves in terms of military strength, Tang Yuan!"

"Here!" Tang Yuan stood up.

"Go to Taiyuan and tell Yang Ping to arrest all the Wangs based on the evidence!" Chen Mo thought.

"Lord." Man Chong bowed and said, "The Wang family is a powerful family in the world. If we go to jail at this time, I'm afraid it will attract criticism."

Wang Yun was stupid and would go to trouble Cai Yong when the court situation was not yet stable, but if Chen Mo took down the Wang family for no reason, he would probably also cause the displeasure of the scholars.

"Don't worry, after we captured Taiyuan, I ordered Yang Ping to secretly collect evidence of the Wang family's crimes in Taiyuan, bullying men, dominating women, and colluding with gangsters... The evidence we have now is that he immediately ransacked his whole house, and there is no legal evidence. Wrong." Chen Mo said.

Of course, it was only legal. The Wang family was a noble family after all. If Chen Mo really did this, it would still cause dissatisfaction among the scholars all over the world.

Chen Mo is no longer poor now, so he naturally doesn't want his reputation to be tarnished.

"Send another document to the court. I have evidence of the Wang family's crimes here. Send these evidence to the court. We will not deal with the Wang family's affairs, but the court must give an explanation." Chen Mo stood up and said: "Go immediately Do."

Now the situation in the court is in Wang Yun's hands. To save Cai Yong, he must first capture Wang Yun. If Wang Yun is willing to trade the lives of his entire family for Cai Yong's, then Chen Mo has nothing to say.

"And!" Chen Mo looked at everyone, thought for a while and said, "This matter will be kept secret in my house. My wife is pregnant now. Don't let her know. Especially you, Dian Wei, don't talk nonsense everywhere."

Everyone nodded to express their understanding. Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo in astonishment: "Master, I don't usually see my wife. What does this have to do with me?"

"No one should talk nonsense!" Chen Mo glared at him and said.

"Don't worry, my lord. My lord, Lao Dian, should know that he has the most severe words." Dian Wei assured, patting his chest.

"Uncle Rong, you should get up and rest first. My wife is pregnant. Don't let her know about the father-in-law for the time being. We will rescue her first." Chen Mo looked at Cai Rong and said with a smile.

"I'll leave everything to my uncle," Cai Rong said quickly.

"Don't worry." Chen Mo nodded and smiled.

After sending Cai Rong off, Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and said, "Get ready and come with me to Taiyuan. I have to personally supervise this matter and don't let others talk about it."

I don't want Dian Wei to stay here. If this big mouth tells the truth, it won't be long before the whole city knows about Cai Yong's imprisonment.

"Here!" Dian Wei agreed, turned around and left.

Chen Mo returned to his mansion and said goodbye to his mother, Cai Yan and others.

…

Three days later, Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.

"Situ, how do you think these cases should be handled?" Liu Xie looked at the documents that were urgently sent from Anyi. They were sent by Chen Mo. They were divided into two parts. One part was to question why the imperial court treated famous people like Cai Yong so harshly.

Cai Yong's matter has been aroused in Chang'an these days. As Cai Yong's son-in-law, Chen Mo's behavior is normal. If he ignores it, he will be cast aside.

But the other part is not simple. From Wang Yun's three sons to Wang Chen and Wang Ling, the sons of Wang Yun's brother, there are more or less cases. Other members of the Wang family are even more involved in various cases, from colluding with bandits to making profits. They used their family background to force people to annex their fields, and even many murder cases were brought to the court. At the same time, almost all members of the Wang family were imprisoned.

In fact, aristocratic families have more or less similar things. Some of them are not even known to the master's family and are done secretly by the clan members. However, these crimes must be blamed on the master's family, but generally as long as it is not too excessive, this kind of The local officials would not pursue the matter, and no one was clean. But when Chen Mo took out these things to talk about the matter, no one could say anything.

It was obvious that Chen Mo was seeking revenge, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could not think of anything to say to excuse him, nor did they want to help.

If Chen Mo was arrested just because of a personal grudge, then even with all this evidence, he would have been criticized a lot. However, in this case, it is obvious that Wang Yun, because of Cai Yong's unintentional words, forcibly accused a great scholar of the world of being a traitor. What a thief, now that Chen Mo is going to do this, no one else can say anything, is it business? Are you allowed to handle other people's father-in-law's official business, and not let other people handle official business?

The timing of Chen Mo's arrest of the Wang family was obviously perfect. No one could excuse Wang Yun, and they were not even willing to excuse Wang Yun. After all, since Wang Yun took charge of the court, he had become a bit self-willed, which caused dissatisfaction among many people.

Wang Yun looked at these evidences with a gloomy face, gritting his teeth secretly. Chen Mo had obviously meant this a long time ago, otherwise the evidences could not be so detailed. Wang Yun knew some of them, and he didn't know some of them, but he could be sure that this was It's true. With Chen Mo's meticulousness, it's impossible to give him any leverage at this time.

"Your Majesty, I don't know about these things, and I have no involvement in them!" Wang Yun quickly bowed to Liu Xie and said, he must first put himself aside from this matter, otherwise his moral character will be stained, and his position as Situ will be criticized.

"I naturally know Situ Gong's virtue." Liu Xie smiled and said, "I just don't know how to deal with this matter? Do you have any countermeasures?"

The ministers heard the words and looked at their noses and minds. Chen Mo and Wang Yun were serious about this matter. One was the third Duke of the dynasty and controlled the affairs of the dynasty. The other was a feudal official with powerful troops. If the other one was not handled well, it might even lead to a war. They don't want to take the blame.

"I...I think you should not listen to Chen Mo's words on this matter!" Wang Yun hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said: "Please allow your majesty to summon the old ministers to Chang'an for questioning."

"But there is some truth." Liu Xie nodded and said: "It's just what Lou Hou said about Cai Weng... Situ Gong, I think Cai Weng's daughter is pregnant. If Situ Gong insists on killing Cai Weng at this time, what will happen to Lou Hou?" My wife is afraid..."

His wife is pregnant, and you are determined to kill me at this time. Do you think that even if the court issues an edict, Chen Mo will obediently send your family to Chang'an?

Everyone knows that if the Wang family is sent to Chang'an for interrogation, the final result of this matter may be just a major incident. Do you think Chen Mo will be so stupid?

Wang Yun looked a little ugly. He arrested Cai Yong with such great fanfare. During this period, the ministers came to plead for mercy, but he acted selflessly and insisted on executing Cai Yong. How could he be embarrassed if he let go at this time?

But the family cannot ignore it. If Chen Mo were to massacre three of his family's clans in one go, even if Chen Mo's reputation would be tarnished, the bloodline of the Wang family would be cut off.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Yun bowed and said: "I will discuss this matter with the Lord Lou."

"Forget it, this is Situ Gong's family background. I don't have much to say, so I'll leave it to Situ Gong to handle." Liu Xie nodded. For the case of Wang Yun's family, let alone that he is in name only, even if he is really in power now, This kind of thing is not easy to do. If Wang Yun wants to handle it by himself, then let Wang Yun handle it.

"Situ, please take these files with you as well." Liu Xie pointed to the files on the case again. It was useless for him to keep these things. Let Wang Yun handle them himself.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will investigate this matter carefully. Once it is confirmed, I will never tolerate it!" Wang Yun thanked him again.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Bu came out and saluted Liu Xie: "Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and others handed in their surrender forms and begged for pardon. I thought that now that the court has initially decided that although Li Jue and others are guilty, they are now guilty. The best policy should be to stabilize people's hearts, grant him pardon, and then take back his military power!"

Liu Xie was about to nod, but Wang Yun said categorically: "No! Li Jue and Guo Si are both Dong Zhuo's confidants, how can they be pardoned? I thought ordinary soldiers could be pardoned, but Li Jue, Guo Si, Hua Xiong, Fan Chou and other Dong Zhuo's confidants The minions are not only unforgivable, they should also be guilty of the same crime as Dong's thieves in order to shock the world."

Lu Bu was a little unhappy when he heard this. He was also an auxiliary minister. Not to mention that Li Jue, Guo Si and others also had friendships with him. For the sake of stability, he felt that he should not hold these people accountable too much now, and would wait until later. With military power, these people can kill or behead them at will, but now they have to convict others. Doesn’t this force them to rebel?

"Situ, they have powerful soldiers. Do you want to condemn them now?" Lu Bu said solemnly.

Wang Yun shook his head and said: "These soldiers and horses can be pardoned without guilt, but the general must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"

Lu Bu was a little angry and looked at Wang Yun and said: "I'm afraid Mr. Situ has never experienced war. How can you go beyond the general to pardon their subordinates?"

Lu Bu doesn't understand politics, but he has led troops and fought in battles. You all know that these people are the generals. You still want to kill only the generals and ignore the followers? Unless they are new recruits, how can the soldiers under Li Jue listen to you?

"We can send someone to convince his subordinates." Wang Yun laughed loudly and said: "These people are all brave and foolhardy, what should they be afraid of?"

"Then the general will have to look at Situ Gong's methods!" Lu Bu chuckled and didn't bother to pay attention to him. Anyway, he had already raised his opinion. The court ignored it, and Lu Bu wouldn't say a word. These people just murdered Dong Zhuo with a conspiracy. The real meaning Is it so easy for a general under a general to be alienated by you?

"Marquis Wen just watches, we can kill Dong Zhuo, let alone his generals?" Wang Yun said with a smile.

Lu Bu's face was a little dark. After all, he felt a little guilty for Dong Zhuo's death. His wife had already said that he lost consciousness after drinking a glass of Diao Chan's wine. Diao Chan was obviously a chess piece sent by Wang Yun, but later When Lu Bu wanted to settle the score with Diao Chan, he could no longer find anyone.

"Okay, that's it for today's court meeting." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Liu Xie smiled and said: "As for the Wang family matter, Situ Gong will resolve it as soon as possible."

"Best farewell to your Majesty!" After the ministers bowed to see Liu Xie off, they also left.
