Chapter 61: Coercion
"Bang~"
The bamboo note in his hand was pressed heavily on the case by Chen Mo, and the atmosphere in the Assassin's Mansion gradually became solemn with Cai Rong's crying.
"Lord, send troops, the last general will personally screw off Wang Yun's old thief's head!" Dian Wei shouted indignantly, Cai Yong is Chen Mo's father-in-law, don't say that he didn't do anything wrong, even if he did something wrong, he can't just go to prison so hastily, right?
"Lord, I'm afraid that Wang Yun has revenge on this matter." Man Zhong saluted Chen Mo and said.
This Chen Mo naturally understood, thought for a while, and said: "Immediately go to the court and ask why you are so slow to treat Confucianism?" In terms of troops, don't move lightly, Tang Yuan! ”
"In!" Tang Yuan got up.
"You go to Taiyuan and tell Yang Ping that he can arrest all the people Wang can arrest according to the evidence of the crime!" Chen Mo pondered.
"My lord." Man Zhong bowed down and said: "The Wang family is a big family in the world, if you go to prison at this time, I am afraid it will cause criticism." ”
Wang Yun is stupid, so he will go to Cai Yong for trouble when the court situation is not stable, but if Chen Mo takes down the Wang family for no reason, I am afraid it will also cause displeasure among the scholars.
"Don't worry, after capturing Taiyuan, I have ordered Yang Ping to secretly collect evidence of the Wang family's crimes in Taiyuan, bully men and women, and collude with bandits...... The evidence we now have is that he was copied all over the house at once, and that there was nothing wrong with the law. Chen Mo said.
Of course, it's just in the law, the Wang family is a scholar clan after all, if Chen Mozhen does this, it will still cause dissatisfaction among the people in the world.
Chen Mo is not poor now, so he naturally doesn't want his reputation to be tarnished.
"Send another document to the court, I have the evidence of the Wang family's crimes here, and send these criminal evidence to the court together, we will not deal with the affairs of the Wang family, but the court has to give an explanation." Chen Mo stood up and said, "Do it immediately." ”
Now that the situation in the court is in the hands of Wang Yun, if you want to save Cai Yong, you must first hold Wang Yun, if Wang Yun is willing to exchange his life for Cai Yong's life, then Chen Mo has nothing to say.
"And!" Chen Mo looked at everyone, thought for a while, and said: "This matter, my house is secret, my wife is pregnant now, don't let her know, especially you, Dian Wei, don't talk nonsense." ”
Everyone nodded in understanding, and Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo in amazement: "Lord, I don't usually see Mrs., what's the matter with me?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense to anyone!" Chen Mo glared at him and said.
"Don't worry, my lord, my lord should know that this mouth is the strictest." Dian Wei patted his chest and reassured.
"Uncle Rong, you get up and rest first, Madame is pregnant, don't let her know about her father-in-law for the time being, I'll rescue people first." Chen Mo looked at Cai Rong and smiled.
"Then I'll leave everything to my uncle." Cai Rong hurriedly bowed.
"Don't worry." Chen Mo nodded and smiled.
After sending Cai Rong away, Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and said: "Prepare, follow me to Taiyuan, I will personally supervise this matter, and I can't let others leave a handle." ”
I don't want to stay here, if this big mouth tells the matter, it is estimated that it will not be long before Cai Yong's imprisonment will be known all over the city.
"Whoa!" Dian Wei said yes and turned to leave.
Chen Mo returned to the 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 sent from Anyi in an hurry, which were sent by Chen Mo, divided into two copies, one was to ask the imperial court why he treated Cai Yong and other celebrities harshly.
Cai Yong's matter has been making a lot of noise in Chang'an these days, Chen Mo, as Cai Yong's son-in-law, this performance is normal, if you don't ignore it, then wait to be spurned.
But the other one is not simple, from Wang Yun's three sons to Wang Yun's brother's sons Wang Chen and Wang Ling have more or less cases, and other clansmen of the Wang family are even more entangled in large and small cases, from colluding with bandits to making profits to using family background to force people to annex fields, and even many murders were sent to the imperial court, and at the same time, almost all members of the Wang family were imprisoned.
In fact, the big family has more or less similar things, and some of them don't even know about the main family, they are all done secretly by the clansmen, but these crimes must be counted on the head of the main family, but generally as long as it is not too excessive, this kind of thing, the local officials will not pursue it, and no one is clean, but when Chen Mo took these things out to talk about things, no one could say anything.
Obviously, Chen Mo was taking revenge, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't think of a word of excuse, and they didn't want to help excuse themselves.
If Chen Mo only arrested people because of personal grudges, then even if there is such evidence, he will receive a lot of verbal criticism, but in this matter, it is obvious that you Wang Yun forcibly labeled a great Confucian in the world as an anti-thief because of Cai Yong's unintentional words, and now Chen Mo wants to do this, others can't say anything, is it official? If you take other people's father-in-law's official business, you won't let your family do official business?
The timing of Chen Mo's arrest of the Wang family was obviously just right, and everyone had no way to exonerate Wang Yun, and they were not even willing to exonerate Wang Yun, after all, since Wang Yun presided over the court, he was a little stubborn and self-serving, which caused many people to be dissatisfied.
Wang Yun's face was a little gloomy looking at these incriminating evidence, and he gritted his teeth secretly, Chen Mo obviously had this intention a long time ago, otherwise this incriminating evidence would not have been so detailed, some Wang Yun knew, and some he didn't know, but he was sure that this was true, with Chen Mo's meticulousness, it was impossible to give him a handle at this time.
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know about these things, and the minister is never involved!" Wang Yun hurriedly bowed to Liu Xie and said, this matter must first put himself aside, otherwise his virtue will be tainted, and this position of Situ may be criticized.
"Situ Gong's virtue, I naturally know." Liu Xie smiled: "I just don't know how to deal with this matter?" Do you have a countermeasure? ”
When the ministers heard this, they looked at their noses and noses, and they looked at their hearts, this matter was Chen Mo and Wang Yun's comparison, one was the third prince of the dynasty and controlled the court situation, and the other was a feudal official, holding a male soldier, and the other was not handled well, and it might even cause a war, they didn't want to carry this pot.
"Minister...... The minister thinks that Chen Mo should not be listened to in this matter! Wang Yun hesitated, bowed down and said, "Please allow Your Majesty to invite the old ministers to Chang'an for questioning." ”
"But there is some truth to it." Liu Xie nodded and said, "It's just what Lou Hou said, Cai Weng's matter...... Situ Gong, I think that Cai Weng's daughter is pregnant, and if Situ Gong insists on killing Cai Weng at this time, I am afraid that Lou Hou's wife will ......."
People's wives are pregnant, you are bent on killing people 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 is probably only a big thing, do you think Chen Mo will be so stupid?
Wang Yun's face was a little ugly, he arrested Cai Yong with such fanfare, during this time, the ministers came to intercede, but he looked like a duke and selfless, and he had to execute Cai Yong.
But the family can't ignore it, if Chen Mo is really allowed to slaughter the three clans of his family in one go, even if Chen Mo's reputation will be tarnished because of this, the bloodline of the Wang family will be broken.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Yun bowed down and said, "The ministers will discuss this matter with the Marquis of Lou." ”
"Well, this is Situ Gong's family history, and I don't have much to say, so I'll leave it to Situ Gong to deal with." Liu Xie nodded, Wang Yun's family's case, don't say that he is in name only, even if he is really in power now, this kind of thing is not easy to do, Wang Yun wants to deal with it himself, then let Wang Yun handle it.
"Situ should also take these files with him." Liu Xie pointed to the file on the case again, it was useless for him to keep these things, so leave them to Wang Yun to deal with himself.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely investigate this matter strictly, once it is confirmed, the minister will not tolerate it!" Wang Yun thanked again.
"Your Majesty!" Lu Bu came out of the queue and saluted Liu Xie: "Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others handed over the table of surrender and begged for pardon, and the minister thought that now the imperial court has decided that although Li Dao and others are guilty, they should now focus on stabilizing people's hearts, pardon them, and then accept their military power as the best policy!" ”
Liu Xiezheng wanted to nod, but Wang Yun said categorically: "No!" Li Dao and Guo Yan are both confidants of Dong Thief, how can they be pardoned? The minister thought that ordinary soldiers could be pardoned, but like Li Dao, Guo Yan, Hua Xiong, and Fan Chou, Dong Zhuo's henchmen, not only could not be pardoned, but they should be guilty of the same crime as Dong thieves, so as to deter the world. ”
Lu Bu was a little unhappy when he heard this, he is also an auxiliary minister, not to mention that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others also have a relationship with him, just for stability, he feels that he should not be too responsible for these people now, and when he collects the military power first, then these people want to kill or chop at will, but now he has to convict others, isn't this forcing people to rebel?
"Situ, they have male soldiers in their hands, and you want to condemn them at this time?" Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
Wang Yun shook his head and said, "These soldiers and horses can be pardoned without guilt, but the Lord will have to punish them severely to set an example!" ”
Lu Bu was a little angry, looked at Wang Yun and said, "Situ Gong is afraid that he has never experienced a war, how can you pardon their generals beyond the Lord?" ”
Engaging in politics, Lu Bu doesn't understand, but he has led troops to fight, you all know that these people are the main generals, and you still want to only kill the main generals, and never be held accountable? Unless you are a new soldier, how can the soldiers under Li Dao's command listen to you?
"We can send someone to persuade his subordinates." Wang Yunlang laughed and said: "These people are all brave and unscrupulous, what are you afraid of? ”
"Then it will be up to Situ Gong's methods!" Lu Bu smiled, he 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 more, these people just assassinated Dong Zhuo with a conspiracy, and they really meant that the generals under the command of a general would be so easily separated by you?
"Wen Hou just watched, Dong Zhuo and I can kill him, not to mention his subordinates?" Wang Yun smiled.
Lu Bu's face was a little dark, Dong Zhuo's death, he felt a little guilty in his heart after all, his wife had already said that he was unconscious after drinking Diao Chan's wine, and Diao Chan was obviously a chess piece sent by Wang Yun, but when Lu Bu wanted to settle accounts with Diao Chan, he couldn't find anyone anymore.
"Alright, that's all for today's court meeting." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Liu Xie smiled and said, "As for the matter of the Wang family, Situ Gong will solve it as soon as possible." ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" After the ministers bowed down to see Liu Xie away, they also left.
