Chapter 404: Punish the Evil and Eliminate the Evil

As soon as he entered Ruyang County, Qu Yin rushed over.

Sun Ce didn't see him immediately and told him to wait outside the camp. The hour had passed, and the weather was getting hotter, so he decided to set up camp and rest. He knew that Qu Yin was nominally welcoming him, but in fact he was complaining. Others are in peace, but he knows the situation in Ruyang very well, and news will be delivered every day. Normally, things would be delayed for a day or two, and it would take almost half a day for urgent matters to reach his ears.

Xin Bi never returned, and the two hundred knights he brought with him did not have any respect for Yuan Yao, and at first they lived honestly near the Yuan family cemetery, and then gradually became lazy, so they found a place to live in Ruyang City, and sent a few people to order Mao every day, and the rest of the people wandered around the city.

More than half of the two hundred knights are Hu people from Youzhou, who are barbaric by nature, and their customs are incompatible with the Central Plains people, envying the wealth of the people of Ruyang, but they have little money in their pockets, and conflicts are inevitable. But they were outnumbered, with knives in their hands and the support of the Yuan family, and they soon became the scourge of Ruyang, making Ruyang chickens and dogs restless.

Sun Ce had long expected this day, otherwise he would not have kept these people. If this Qu County Order hadn't really been out of tricks, it wouldn't have been so polite. Last time he came to Ruyang for Yuan Shu's funeral, this Qu County Commander didn't even show his face, only he Sun Ce was not a person.

Come and don't be rude. Since you have come to beg me now, I can't say that I will see you, but I have to let you see my coldness.

The red sun was like fire, and even though I stood in the shade of the trees, I was sweating profusely. Qu Yin took a group of officials to watch Sun Ce's camp take shape, and watched most of the soldiers hide in tents, avoiding the hottest time at noon, but they couldn't go far, for fear that Sun Ce would summon him at any time. He came early, didn't even eat breakfast, and when the smell of lunch came from the camp, they all let out bowel sounds.

But no one invited them to dinner, not even a greeting to them.

It wasn't until the evening that Qu Yin, who was so sunburned that Venus appeared in front of his eyes, and the clothes on his body were wet and dry, and he was dry and wet, that he received an order, entered the camp, and came to Sun Ce. He had already been wilted, and he didn't even have the strength to be angry, so he knelt down when he saw Sun Ce and asked Sun Ce to dispose of those knights.

Sun Ce was polite, but also indifferent. "I'm afraid that Ming Ting is mistaken, these people have something to do with the Yuan family, but this Yuan is not another Yuan, they are not under my control, and it is useless for you to find me. If you want to fight and kill, you can do whatever you want, I don't ask. ”

Qu Yin knew who was behind these knights, but he couldn't go to Yecheng to find Yuan Shao, so he had to rely on Sun Ce. "Anyway, these people are staying here in the name of protecting the Marquis of An Guoting. They haunt General Yuan's tomb every day, and the people of Ruyang are ignorant, so they all regard it as General Yuan's old department. If the general doesn't care, isn't he afraid of affecting General Yuan's reputation? ”

Sun Ce almost burst out laughing. Please, do you think I'm stupid, and I'm afraid of the impact of Yuan Shu's reputation? At this time, Yuan Quan, who was sitting on the side, coughed and glanced at Sun Ce reproachfully. Qu Yinhu looked at Yuan Quan suspiciously, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembered who she was, and hurriedly paid a visit.

"Dare to ask Madame, but is it the eldest daughter of General Yuan?"

Yuan Quan nodded yes. When she was in Ruyang, this Qu County Commander had never come to the door, and she didn't have a good impression of him.

"Please Mrs. for the sake of Lingzun's reputation and get rid of this scourge for the township party. With General Sun sitting in Runan, how can any thief hurt the prince. If you want to talk about thieves, these people are the real thieves. What's more, there are a lot of bearded Hu people among these people, if someone misunderstands that the general leads to chaos in Xia, what should this be? ”

Yuan Quan thought for a while and said, "Although these people are not my father's old ministry and have nothing to do with General Sun, they are protecting my brother after all. I really can't ignore this kind of disaster. Please punish the general and return peace to the township. ”

Sun Ce reluctantly responded, called Qin Mu and Elfang, and asked them to lead their guards to follow Qu Yin to arrest the two hundred knights, and they could not let any of them go. Before leaving, he said earnestly: "Qu Mingting, please explain this misunderstanding to Elder Runan on your behalf." Although they are all surnamed Yuan, the difference is big, but you can't put your crown on Li Dai, otherwise General Yuan can't be blind under Jiuquan, and he will definitely give you a dream. ”

Qu Yin is dumb and eats yellow lotus, and he can't say what he is suffering from. This matter fell on him, and he was determined to offend Yuan Shao. This surnamed Sun is really not a good person, and this pot can be ...... Wrong.

After Sun Ce finished talking about business, he didn't look at Qu Yin again, picked up the water cup by himself, took a sip of the cold mung bean soup, and sighed with satisfaction. Qu Yin has been exposed to the sun for most of the day, his throat and eyes are about to smoke, seeing this scene, he is expecting Sun Ce to reward him with a bowl of moistening his throat, but he is too embarrassed to speak, he can only lick his chapped and peeled lips, droop his head, and turn out of the account.

The officials he brought were sitting in the open space in front of the tent, with a tent covering the sun over their heads, gathered together, each with a bowl in their hands, eating and drinking and laughing in a low voice, and they were in a very good mood. Qu Yin leaned over to take a look, and there was a large bucket between them, and there was a small half bucket of mung bean soup in it, which was cool and thirst-quenching at a glance.

"Where did it come from?"

"Madame Yuan's reward." The county said, shaking the cake in his hand again. "And this, it tastes really good, it's better than what we sell in Ruyang City, I heard that Mrs. Yuan made it herself. These soldiers are really blessed, and they actually eat this every day, which is too luxurious. ”

Qu Yin was stunned for a moment, didn't care about saying more, stepped forward and grabbed a bowl, scooped a bowl of soup, and drank most of the bowl in one go.

The officials were surprised. "Ming Ting, how are you ...... Didn't accompany the general to the banquet inside? ”

Qu Yin covered his face with a bowl and replied vaguely: "Not today, I don't have time, I will go back to Ruyang first and clean up those barbarians." ”

——

Led by Qu Yin, Qin Mu and Lu Fang led the guards to attack quickly, searched inside and outside Ruyang City, arrested all the cavalry mixed with Hu and Han, and put them at the gate of the city to show the public. With such a big movement, without their deliberate publicity, the people of Runan City knew about it and inquired about each other. When they learned that these cavalry were sent by Yuan Shao, but the cavalry that was now arresting people was sent by Sun Ce, they were immediately indignant and scolded Yuan Shao for messing around.

Public opinion fermented for two days before Sun Ce and his entourage arrived in Ruyang. In front of the onlookers, Sun Ce gave an order: cut off the heads of all the Hu people, and show them to the public in Ruyang County for ten days, the Han knights broke their right hands, accompanied the people to be tied up, and drove out of Yuzhou after ten days.

At the same time, he asked Qu Yin to issue a notice to the people, pass the truth of the affairs of the people in the county, and completely nail Yuan Shao to the pillar of shame. Yuan Shao's good reputation built up after six years of guarding the tomb in the township was completely ruined. Although these public opinions can't get out of Ruyang County for the time being, and they can't affect the overall situation, Sun Ce finally took a bad breath and took a little refreshment.

In an instant, nearly 100 skulls fell to the ground, blood flowed all over the ground, and the remaining Han knights were so frightened that they lost their souls, and then their legs were broken again, and they rolled all over the ground in pain. Qu Yin's face turned pale with fright. When he first saw Sun Ce, he felt that Sun Ce was very kind, but he didn't expect him to kill more than a hundred people in one go, without even blinking his eyes.

Qu Yin didn't dare to squeak, and quickly wrote an Anmin notice and asked Sun Ce to take a look. After Sun Ce agreed, he sent someone to copy dozens of copies and post them all over the city.

In the middle of everything, Sun Ce became famous, and someone came to visit him on the same day.

But Sun Ce didn't intend to give them this face, saying that he was busy with military affairs and would not see them. Early the next morning, he left Ruyang, crossed Yingshui, and entered the state of Chen.
