Chapter 373: Needle drop can be heard
After the news of Lu Bu's return to Changyi spread in the city, the people were panicked, they were worried that Lu Bu would settle accounts at such a time, and how many people would really have no contact with the officials under Yuan Shu's rule, this was a moment related to the life and death of the family.
Now that Yanzhou is unified, the officials who stood on Lu Bu's side before are naturally overjoyed, and their refuge will be rewarded, which can be seen from the appointment of officials from Chenliu County and Jiyin County by the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.
Chen Gong is not an ordinary person, the officials of Yanzhou are well aware of this, and perhaps in the hands of Chen Gong, they already have evidence of their dealings with officials under Yuan Shu, but Lu Bu was in an emergency at that time, and he did not show it.
In the governor's mansion, after receiving Lu Bu's order, the officials did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and rushed one after another.
Lu Bu sat in the top position, and Yanzhou Mu Chen Palace stood aside, and there were even soldiers waiting for him outside the door of the State Pastoral Mansion.
Looking at such a posture, many officials were so frightened that they didn't even dare to make contact with Lu Bu's eyes.
Lu Bu coughed lightly and said: "Ben Hou fought against Yuan Shu in Xuzhou, and Yanzhou can have a stable situation, which is inseparable from your efforts. ”
The officials in the venue did not dare to say anything.
As soon as the conversation changed, Lu Bu snorted coldly: "But Ben Hou learned that when Ben Hou was in danger under Ben Hou's rule, there were many people who had contact with the officials under Yuan Shu's rule. ”
The faces of many officials suddenly changed, not because their hearts were not enough, but because Lu Bu's threat was too great, at this time, perhaps only one order from Lu Bu would make the family behind them pay a heavy price.
Some officials had sweat on their foreheads.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liao showed a sneer, these civil officials, usually in front of the generals in the army, are arrogant, but now in front of Lu Bu, there are not so many words, more respect, which is also a concrete embodiment of Lu Bu's influence in Yanzhou.
A strong monarch will make the officials under his rule have a huge pressure, and in the face of such pressure, they will not even dare to make disobedient actions.
Receiving Lu Bu's signal, Chen Gong ordered two soldiers to move a red box up.
The box was opened, and inside were letters exchanged between Yanzhou officials and officials under Yuan Shu.
The box was not small, but it was full of letters.
After seeing this scene, many officials almost collapsed on the ground.
With so many letters, needless to say, many officials present will be involved in this matter.
Lu Bu said lightly: "Among you, many of you are probably already afraid in their hearts. ”
An official fell to the ground with a limp, and he really couldn't bear such a lot of pressure.
Seeing the different performances of the officials in the field, Lu Bu's heart was also a little uncomfortable, these are all Yanzhou officials, if an order kills them all, it will bring turmoil in Yanzhou, and it is not possible to govern the place with the generals in the army.
If it is a march to fight, the generals in the army do not have the slightest problem, and letting them govern the place will make the place even more chaotic.
Punishing these people would bring disaster to Yanzhou, and it would be difficult for Lu Bu to find such a large number of officials to take their place in a short period of time.
The relationship between the wealthy families is intertwined, and it affects the whole body, and maybe after punishing these families, more families will be offended, and more officials under the rule will have other thoughts.
There was anger and desolation in Lu Bu's heart, but he couldn't give such an order.
The most important thing is to make Yanzhou and Xuzhou as stable as possible.
Yuan Shu did fail on the battlefield in Xuzhou, but Yuan Shu's prestige among the princes determined that it was absolutely difficult to completely eliminate Yuan Shu in a short period of time, and Yuan Shu's methods were not as simple as they appeared.
Only after making the rule more stable can it have the capital to compete with Liu Biao and Yuan Shu.
The eradication of the families of these officials will make the princes of the world laugh and even cheer, which means that Lu Bu will fall into an endless situation with the wealthy family in the future, what does this mean for a monarch?
Before making a choice, Lu Bu had to be more cautious.
But the family in the field didn't think of things at this level, and after grabbing the handle for Lu Bu, what they were worried about was what was behind them.
After all, behind them, there is a family, which makes them have to have more consideration when doing things, in fact, in many cases, when they make some choices, they still need the family members to make decisions, and not every official is the head of the family.
The hall was as quiet as death, and the needle drop could be heard, and in such an atmosphere, sweat was dripping on the foreheads of many officials.
After a long silence, Lu Bu seemed to have made a decision and coughed lightly.
It's just this cough that made many officials feel excited, and they had a hunch that the next time was to decide the fate of the family behind them, with Lu Bu's means, if they made a move, it would definitely be the power of thunder, and they would not give the family behind them a chance to turn over.
Because Lu Bu is not from a wealthy family, he doesn't have so many scruples in acting, maybe some officials can't do too much, so that the family behind them will not be too unlucky, but there will also be a loss in strength, what is more painful for them than to make the family's strength damaged.
Now that their fate is in the hands of Lu Bu, do they want to stand up against Lu Bu, among the current princes, with Lu Bu's power, who dares to come forward to fight, I am afraid it is impossible to stand up and accuse Lu Bu.
The wings are full, Lu Bu's status among the princes has been determined, and no one dares to underestimate this general.
From the beginning of Xuzhou, the princes of the world condemned, and now standing among the princes, they have to admit that Lu Bu has grown up, growing to the point where many princes look up to him, and Lu Bu's achievements are also terrifying.
This is the ability to truly rely on one's own strength and have a place in times of chaos.
"When Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou, the people under Ben Hou were panicked, not to mention Yanzhou, even many officials in Xuzhou were like this, they must have other actions in secret, and they didn't want the family to be defeated, these Ben Hou can understand, this situation is put on anyone, I'm afraid there will be more thinking." Lu Bu said slowly.
