Chapter 2 The Great Han Dong Qingtian
Early the next morning, Dong Zhuojun's soldiers, in accordance with Kang Peng's instructions, set up a high platform in front of the luxurious mansion of the Wei family in Hedong, and there were six big characters erected on the high platform - Public Arrest and Public Judgment Conference. Yesterday afternoon, Dong Zhuojun had already spread the word to the people in the surrounding five towns and ten miles, asking those among them who had grievances and hatreds with the Hedong Wei family, and those who were oppressed by the Hedong Wei family, to come here today, and Dong Qingtian, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, wanted to redress their grievances and make decisions for them. At this moment, the people who rushed to hear the news around had surrounded the high platform, crowded to the point that they couldn't even insert a needle.
Many people waited outside the gate of the Hedong Wei family last night to shout grievances or watch the excitement, and they saw with their own eyes that the usually domineering and arrogant Hedong Wei family was surrounded by a more rampant and domineering and arrogant army, and the Wei family was full of men, women, young and old, and all the noble and lowly people were dragged out of the gate, whether it was the Wei family who begged for mercy or the Wei family who spoke threatened, they were first beaten by that army, their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and then they were tied up firmly and tied to the big tree outside the door. The Wei family's property was also moved out by that army and left outside. In the middle of the night, several female dependents of the Wei family were dragged into the dark by several drunken soldiers......
The princes of the coalition army all sat on the high platform, and Dong Qingtian, the prime minister of Dong Cheng, said that he wanted them to see the power of the people and see if they dared to bully the people in the future. The people of the Wei family also came down from the tree, and a few frightened people who bit their tongues went out, and all of them were escorted to the front of the high platform and knelt down in front of the people, and there were also a few wooden signs behind each person, on which were crookedly written-local tyrants and inferior gentry, doglegs, Wei Batian, enemies of the people, traitors, rightists, bourgeoisie and the like (hehe, sorry, I made a mistake in time and space) and so on.
Kang Peng finally persuaded Li Ru and Jia Xu to agree to hold this public arrest and public judgment conference last night, and Li Ru and Jia Xu resolutely opposed Kang Peng's proposition, persuading Kang Peng to take the world, he must collect the heart of the scholars, this Hedong Wei family is a scholar family, Wei Zhongdao is a rookie in Shilin, a famous talent in the world, offended them, Shilin's pen and tongue can kill. But Kang Peng was furious when he heard the name of the short-lived ghost, and when he thought that Cai Damei's top spot would be taken away by the short-lived ghost in the future, Kang Peng hated it so much. Under the pretext that he must win the hearts of the people for the sake of taking over the world, Kang Peng cannot ignore the life and death of the people of Li for the sake of a few corrupt local tyrants, and resolutely kills all the Wei family, avenges the grievances of the people, and stalemates with Li Ru and Jia Xu. In the end, both sides gave in, Li Ru and Jia Xu agreed that Kang Peng would try the Wei family's crimes, and they could kill a few evil slaves to vent their anger for the people, but the Wei family's scholars did not allow Kang Peng to move. Kang Peng also compromised in order to prevent them from coming down.
This morning, Kang Peng specially asked Xiu'er to dress herself up neatly, put on the official uniform of the imperial court, and walked to the high platform through the crowd of people under the crowd surrounded by a large group of guards. When walking through the crowd, what made Kang Peng worry the most happened - "Mom, ghost!" Ghost! I'm afraid! "Several children were frightened and cried by Kang Peng's 'gentle' face. The princes on the high platform pretended to be serious, and Dong Zhuojun's soldiers did not squint, but the distorted muscles on their faces still exposed their true feelings in their hearts. All this fell into the eyes of Kang Peng, who has good eyesight.
Kang Peng was in tears in his heart - he forced a smile on his face to pick up the child closest to him, "Little brother, what's your name?" Uncle is not a ghost, uncle is a good person. The child screamed, "Ghost! And he fainted. Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help it anymore, and the audience on and off the stage laughed forward and backwards.
Kang Peng was embarrassed, and hurriedly ordered the guards to find Lang Zhongzhi's child, and then ran to the stage with his sleeve covering his face as if he was running for his life, leaving behind the smiling people. Later, Kang Peng's experience became a trick for several of his wives to make fun of him. It has also become the best word for the farmers near Luoshui to scare children, whenever there are children crying at night, adults always have to say: "Cry again, cry again Prime Minister Dong Cheng is coming to our house." "The child immediately behaved, in short, this method has been tried and tested. also left a few words after the break, Dong Cheng hugged the child - good intentions to do bad things, Dong Cheng pretended to be a ghost - no need to wait for the evening and so on, all kinds of things.
Kang Peng cursed Boss Dong's wife in his heart to give Boss Dong such a life, while greeting the princes on the stage, and enduring the appearance of the princes who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. After the politeness was over, Kang Peng walked to the front of the high platform, pulled away Dong Boss's unique broken gong voice and said loudly: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, first introduce yourself, I am Dong Zhuo, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty." β
The audience was silent, the children desperately drilled into their mother's arms, the big girls covered their eyes with their hands, and the men were slightly better, but their legs were shaking.
Seeing this scene, Kang Peng tried his best not to let himself cry, and continued: "Yesterday, the prime minister returned from a victorious expedition and found that this Wei family was rampant and domineering in Luoshui, and the villagers were fishy and meaty. β
This time, the people in the audience finally reacted, some applauded, and some slapped a few times, so that Kang Peng could barely regain some confidence.
"Escort the head of the Wei family up." With Kang Peng's order, the eldest master of the Wei family, a white-bearded old man, was carried up to the high platform by Dong Zhuojun's soldiers.
Kang Peng hated the rich, and asked this local tyrant who was unkind to the rich: "What's your name?" β
The old man replied tremblingly: "Back to the prime minister, the villain's name is Wei Jin, my eldest brother's name is Wei Pin, he is one of the four friends of Zhuting, and the second brother Wei Wutooth is Merlin ......."
"Enough!" Kang Peng rudely interrupted Wei Jin's words, and the expression on his face frightened the audience to let out an exclamation, "I asked your name, not your eldest brother and sister-in-law." β
"Yes, yes, villain confused." Wei Jin nodded and replied. Yesterday Wei Jin was frightened, and at first he heard that someone dared to beat his own family guarding the farmland, so he angrily asked his younger son to take three or two hundred people to slaughter those madmen who didn't know the height of the sky, and kill a hundred people, who knew that he was the real one who didn't know the height of the sky, and the person he provoked turned out to be the prime minister, the world's first murderous demon king, the world's first wicked person, Dong Zhuo, who cut off his head like mowing grass, killed people without blinking, and was known as the living king of Hades, and his most beloved youngest son Wei Zhonghai had a different head. Wei Jin, who was scared out of urine, couldn't care about feeling sorry for his son, but immediately arranged to move, lest the living king of Hades come to the door. Who knew that the living king of Hell was faster than himself, and before he could clean up, the wolf-like Xiliang Iron Cavalry had already surrounded his family, and rushed into his house to fight and rob, and several little wives and daughters were also ruined by the soldiers killed by these days......
The words of the Living Hades interrupted Wei Jin's painful memories, "Wei Jin, this prime minister asks you, since you are a local squire, why do you oppress the people?" Stealing and mutilating good people? β
Wei Jin shouted that he was wronged, "Wronged, Prime Minister, they are all those people who falsely accuse the villain, but the villain is a law-abiding citizen!" In his opinion, buying a few acres of land from the peasants was nothing, and he gave the moneyβalthough it was less, and it was nothing for him to take the tenant farmer's daughter and sell it, and who made the poor ghosts owe him money? As for killing a few slaves, whoever calls them slaves is not considered a crime according to the laws of the Han Dynasty.
Kang Peng was furious, "You Diao Min, you won't admit it if you don't beat your wrench." Come on, drag this Diao people down and beat the eighty big wrenches! Kang Peng remembered the "Bao Qingtian" he had watched before, and he also wanted to learn Bao Longtu.
Two sturdy soldiers rushed up, dragged Wei Jin down, and under the stage, there were torture instruments that had been made overnight according to Kang Peng's orders. Wei Jin shouted, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, I am filial piety, you can't beat me." β
Kang Peng ignored him, and blurted out a series of swear words, "Fuck your bullshit filial piety, give Lao Tzu a beating." β
"Wait." One of the princes on the stage suddenly stood up and stopped: "Prime Minister, Wei Jin is filial piety in the court, even if he is guilty, you can't torture him." β
Kang Peng looked back and saw that it was Yuan Shao, and he said: "The law of the Han Dynasty is not a doctor." Prime Minister, you have no right to beat him. β
Kang Peng was dumbfounded, he knew that there was such a law in ancient times, but he didn't know that the Han Dynasty already existed, and he thought it was handed down from the Tang and Song dynasties. Kang Peng looked at Li Ru and Jia Xu for help, and they nodded, indicating that there was such a thing. Kang Peng thought about it, now he is using the brand of respecting the Han family to restore the extremely bad reputation of Boss Dong, and he must not openly violate the law, but what should he do now?
Kang Peng was helpless, beckoned to the soldiers, and asked them to drag Wei Jin back, "Wei Jin, I don't want to beat you, but how do you explain this?" Kang Peng picked up the account book that he searched from Wei Jin's house, on which there were the results of Li Ru's overnight review, Kang Peng flipped through them one by one, "In June of the first year of Zhongping in the Han Dynasty, you bought seven and a half acres of fertile land with one or two taels of silver, and there is such a cheap fertile land in the world?" What's going on? β
Wei Jin replied cautiously: "Prime Minister, that's because the family who sold the land died at the hands of the Yellow Turban thieves, and the government sold it to the villain, so it was cheap." β
"What government sells? It is clear that you are colluding to sell official land. Kang Peng's nose was almost crooked, and he shouted angrily: "Call the local county order." β
After a long time, no one answered, and Kang Peng asked strangely: "Who is responsible for gathering the people and waiting?" For such a big thing, how can you not call the county order? β
A general trembled and said: "Back to the prime minister, the local county magistrate knew that the prime minister was angry locally, so he hanged himself last night." β
Kang Peng couldn't cry or laugh, he blamed Boss Dong for his reputation for killing people in his usual life, this is good, I heard that Boss Dong was going to trouble him, so he simply hanged himself. "This kind of corrupt official, he deserves to die, drag his body to feed the dogs!"
Kang Peng pointed to another place in the Wei family's account book and said, "That one is put down for the time being." In the third year of Zhongping, Wei Jin, you innocently killed two domestic slaves because of a small reason, and only paid five yuan to the government afterwards, how do you explain this? β
Before Wei Jin could answer, Yuan Shao stood up again and said: "Prime Minister, the law of the Han Dynasty stipulates that if the head of the family dies to a slave, he only needs to compensate for the money, grain and the government, and he does not need to resist his life. Wei Jin is not a crime to do this. β
Kang Peng was dumbfounded, there was still this broken law in ancient times? But seeing Li Ru and Jia Xu nodding with a wry smile, Kang Peng knew that there really was! At this time, Wei Jin saw that someone was helping him speak, and he was bold, "Prime Minister, there are still things in the account book, and the villains are all acting according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, and there is no mistake." Does the prime minister still want to ask? β
Kang Peng was so angry that he yelled, but he was helpless, he couldn't destroy the law of the Han Dynasty in front of so many people, right? When the princes on the stage saw Kang Peng's helpless appearance, they all breathed evil in their hearts, and at the same time, the princes made up their minds that no matter what Dong Zhuo did, they would move the Han law to rectify him. But Li Ru and Jia Xu have a lot of headaches, one of them is good at internal affairs management, and the other is good at making suggestions, but they are not very familiar with laws and regulations, and they can't help Dong Zhuo if they want to.
Kang Peng had an idea, and shouted at the audience: "Fathers and fellow villagers, who of you have grievances with this Wei family? Who has been bullied by this Wei family? Come up and accuse him, and the Prime Minister will make decisions for you. β
But the people in the audience saw that Kang Peng was asked just now, and knew that this Dong Qingtian was not too reliable, don't let this Wei family fall, and put his own life into it in the future, for a while, the people in the audience were quiet.
Finally, Kang Peng saw the old farmer stand up yesterday, "Prime Minister, the little old man wants to sue the Wei family and ask the prime minister to make the decision for the little old man." β
Kang Peng was overjoyed, "Old man, come up quickly." β
"Slow." It was Cao Cao who stood up this time, and Cao Cao said: "Prime Minister, the law of the Han Dynasty sues the officials with the people, and according to the law, you must first answer twenty before you can make a statement." β
Kang Peng was dizzy, damn, such an old person, he still didn't die after twenty lashes? "Can't you be accommodating?"
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Back to the prime minister, I can't." β
Kang Peng was so angry that he stomped his feet, and at this time, someone suddenly said far away from the audience: "Prime Minister, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, it is true that you cannot be accommodating, but you can be pardoned." There is also this Wei Jin, who can also be tortured. β
Kang Peng was overjoyed, and finally someone who knew what bullshit Han Lu was talking to him again, and immediately shouted at the man: "You come up and speak." β
The crowd struggled to separate a way, and a Confucian student in his forties walked over. When Cao Cao saw his appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked, and blurted out: "Chen Gong! β
