Chapter 0179: Five-Colored Stick
Since then, the security of Luoyang has gradually improved, under the cooperation of Cao Cao, the rangers have nowhere to hide, and the county government is full of criminals, of course, these people are at most small crimes such as gathering and drinking, night plays, etc., and most of them are young children of the family, and the county government is also simply detained for a few days, and then let go after a lesson.
These pawns don't dare to target them too much, look at Cao Cao, this guy was one of the children of these wealthy families who were taught a lesson not long ago, and he became his top boss in a blink of an eye, who can know that among these people who were arrested, who else will change and talk to him in the future?
There is only Cao Cao, who has always been unkind to these people.
Within a few days, Cao Cao ordered the house slaves to find a few black things from the house, which were wrapped in black cloth, and when they arrived at the county office, they ordered the guards to open them, and the guards opened them to see, but it was a five-colored stick, extremely thick, and everyone was puzzled and asked: "Cao Jun, what is this?" Cao Cao laughed and said: "In the future, if there is a person who violates the Han law in Luoyang, you can use this to attack him!" ”
Everyone was shocked, after the news of this matter spread, the Yang Ranger was also cautious, even Yuan Shu didn't dare to wander outside, he didn't dare to guarantee that this young playmate would not care about their friendship and let him go, according to the previous situation, he obviously didn't scruple about it.
On this day, Cao Cao was patrolling at night with many guards, suddenly, there were a few noises in the distance, Cao Cao hurriedly led people to run over, but a person was surrounded by several guards, was arguing with the guards, saw Cao Cao coming, these guards immediately made way for Cao Cao, Cao Cao swaggered over, frowned, and asked: "Who are you?" How dare you violate the curfew and travel at night? ”
The people who came were also a little flustered when they saw the guards around them, and hurriedly said: "I am the uncle of the Huangmen in the palace."
"Heh, I didn't ask you whose close relatives you are, I asked who you are and why you travel at night?" Cao Cao said disdainfully, looked at his waist again, and sneered: "Still wearing a knife, are you trying to do wrong?" Come on, take it for me!! The guards immediately stepped forward and took the man, Cao Cao, back to the county office.
"Cao Jun, do you want to go and report to Zhou County?"
"Such a trivial matter, don't disturb the Zhou County Order!" Cao Cao waved his hand and said.
The man's eyes flashed suddenly, and he shouted, "You are Cao Cao, the lieutenant of Ruoyang County?" The grandson of the Marquis of Fei Ting?? My nephew and Fei Tinghou know each other, and he is also friends with Da Honglu! Cao Jun, just let me go once, I won't dare in the future! He also secretly complained in his heart, he just wanted to get together with a few friends at night, and he had never been caught on weekdays, but today he was so unlucky!
It's not good to meet anyone, but he met this Cao Cao, Cao Cao he knows, this person has just taken office, and he let the Luoyang Ranger disappear, no one dares to commit it, and I don't know how the Cao family, who came to the soft bones quickly, came out of this house, he shouted again: "My nephew is a subordinate of Song Gong, Song Gong is His Majesty's henchman, Cao Jun, spare me this time!" ”
Traveling at night is not a crime of killing, according to the Han law, it is also flogging, but traveling with a sword, it is dangerous, because in the past, Liu Li, the king of Hejian, was killed by assassins and the outskirts of Luoyang, so it caused the anger of the Son of Heaven, so that in Luoyang, the people are not allowed to travel with swords and soldiers without permission, and the offender will be severely punished, and if he travels with swords and soldiers at night, he will be killed!
Hearing that this person kept pleading, Cao Cao was furious, didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Call me!" ”
He was ridiculed and despised because of his background, among Luoyang, most of the scholars were unwilling to have anything to do with him because he was eunuch, the whole Luoyang, his playmates were only a few, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Zhang Miao, Xu You, etc., Zhang Miao was older than them, so he entered the Tai Academy early and became famous everywhere, and Xu Yu was the same, he had returned to his hometown in Nanyang and studied behind closed doors.
The rest of the people have never been good with him, because of this problem, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others often get angry for him and fight with others in Luoyang, of course, because they are not many in number, and they are often beaten.
The problem of family background has always been a hurdle in Cao Cao's heart, which made him extremely uncomfortable, and this person mentioned Cao Cao's family background, which must have made Cao Cao angry, and the guards also obeyed Cao Cao's orders, tied him up, and took off his clothes, so the two of them held five-color sticks and beat them fiercely.
Cao Cao ordered them to stop, and at this time, this person was already beaten out of breath and beaten to death!
Those more soldiers saw that they had killed people, and they did not panic, although the Han law was not as harsh as the Qin law, but under the continuous efforts of the emperors over the years, it was relatively heavy, just the crime of beheading, there were thirty-three columns, of course, there were rebellion, unfilial piety and other major crimes, there were also debts, crimes such as hiding fields, and even, Emperor Xiaohuan also gave a gift.
Whoever goes around befriending the Ranger Warrior dies.
This is to prevent the family from raising a large number of disciples, and it is also to prevent the party group from growing, but the emperor did not point out a measure of how many people have made friends, therefore, this crime has become the best weapon in the hands of eunuchs during the party period, but if you have a few friends of the rangers, you are a dead soldier, you are making friends with the party, you are a capital crime!
Therefore, there are not many people killed by these pawns, and there is nothing unusual.
But the next day, when Cao Cao notified the Jian family to come to collect the dead body, Luoyang was frightened, and when Cao Cao's five-color stick stood at the gate of the county government again, the Luoyang scholars and rangers all took a detour, and Cao Cao's reputation suddenly spread all over the world, because he killed the uncle of the eunuch Jianshuo, and the party members were full of praise for him!
They praised Cao Cao for not being afraid of power and being a model for officials.
This makes Yang Qiu, Zhang He and others puzzled, we are also not afraid of power, and there are more powerful people killed than him, why don't we have a good reputation, we are all cool officials, and he killed people is a model? ?
Behind the praise of the scholars, there is the anger of the eunuch group, especially Song Dian, Jian Shuo, etc., who hate Cao Cao even more, and in the face of the Cao family, there is no good face, the little fat man is in the hall to review the folds, Song Dian is rushing in and crying, the little fat man raised his head and looked at him, and now the embroidered messenger has recovered its former glory.
There was nothing around Luoyang that the little fat man didn't know, he knew what Song Dian was here, but he still frowned, pretended to be puzzled, and asked, "What are you doing here?" Why are you still crying? ”
"The state is the master of the slaves!!" Song Dian howled and cried, and the little fat man pulled him up and said, "If there is anything to say directly, don't annoy me!" Song Dian suddenly closed his voice and said: "That Cao Cao, the captain in the north of Luoyang, relying on His Majesty's love, actually practiced cool laws with Luoyang privately, as long as there is a criminal, he will be completely beaten to death by him, it is simply lawless!" ”
The little fat man was stunned for a moment, looked at Song Dian, and said with a sneer: "If he killed not Jian Shuo's uncle, but a certain scholar from the party, you wouldn't have come to me to cry?" Song Dian trembled, suddenly lowered his head, his face became frightened, the little fat man shook his head, and said: "You have been with me for nearly ten years, and I don't want to spend time changing a confidant"
"Concentrate on doing things for me, and I won't let you be bullied, but if you violate Han Law, I will never be spared!"
"The slave is guilty! The slave is guilty! Song Dian said in fear, and the little fat man waved his hand and let him out.
Song Dian walked out of the palace gate, sighing helplessly, there is no way to come to complain, the country doesn't like eunuchs who are too smart, if he is not stupid, can he still be the country's henchman?
