Chapter 287: Lust is inward
"Ben Hou already knew about this matter, and ordered someone to take care of Ma Yu and the others." Lu Budao.
The next day, there was some bustle in the governor's mansion, and the generals in the army and the officials in the city gathered in the governor's mansion.
Lu Bu sat on the top seat with a serious expression, and after seeing that everyone was quiet, he said loudly: "Yesterday, there was a thing in the Sifang Building that shocked Ben Hou, Ma Yu, the envoy from Yangzhou, because the money he brought was not enough for wine and food, he actually acted recklessly in the restaurant, and even killed a city guard chief, since Ben Hou took charge of the state, it was the first time that such an incident occurred in the city, fortunately, General Ji Ling was in the restaurant at that time, otherwise wouldn't it be that the city guard army would suffer more killings?" ”
"General Ji will carefully talk about the events of the day." Lu Bu set his sights on Ji Ling.
After listening to Ji Ling's narration, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the generals in the army were even more indignant, although the city guard army is not a regular army, it also belongs to the control of the army, and the soldiers of the city guard army are also carefully selected from among the people, and they may not be as good as the soldiers in the army in terms of training, but they are an important part of the source of soldiers in the army in the future.
Compared with the generals, the performance of the civil officials is different, and they are more inclined to drive Ma Yu and others out of the state, after all, Ma Yu represents Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu's strength is second to none in the world, if you deal with the Yangzhou envoy, maybe you will offend Yuan Shu because of this, because of a city guard chief, and offend Yuan Shu, it is obviously unwise.
Jia Xu set his eyes on Lu Bu, and he was as wise as he naturally saw that Lu Bu had already made a decision in his heart, and bringing everyone together was just an opportunity to knock the envoys of the other princes in the city, as for what kind of punishment Ma Yu and the others would receive, after Ma Yu's guards shot at the commander of the city guards, the result could already be predicted.
"Wei Gong, you are in charge of the political affairs of the state, how can you deal with this matter?" Lu Budao.
Li Su was silent for a moment and said: "Lord, Ma Yu is the envoy of Yangzhou, if the punishment is heavy, it is not good, it will cause Yuan Shu to be disgusted, although the current merger of the state is stable, there are Xianbei people eyeing the outside, and there is Yuan Shao of Jizhou snooping on the merger of the state, and the four counties of Youzhou are deserved, and it is not suitable to fight with Yuan Shu." ”
Lu Bu nodded slightly and set his eyes on Jia Xu.
Unexpectedly, Jia Xu got up and arched his hand: "Everything depends on the lord." ”
Li Su is in charge of the political affairs of the state, if he says a different opinion, it will definitely cause misunderstanding, in terms of seniority, Li Su has followed Lu Bu for much longer than him.
Seeing Jia Xu playing tricks, Guo Jia got up and said: "As the so-called rules are not followed, there is no square circle, and the subordinates think that this matter should be dealt with according to the law of merging states, otherwise the envoys from all over the country are doing mischief in the city, won't Jinyang be in chaos?" ”
"I agree with Lord Guo's words." Dian Wei, who had been relatively silent when everyone was deliberating, hugged his fists and said: "Ma Yu and others, if they kill the head of the city guard, they must be punished accordingly, otherwise how can they convince the people." ”
Seeing that everyone turned their eyes to him, Lu Bu coughed lightly and said: "The words of Lord Li and Lord Guo are reasonable, just as Feng Xiao said, if it is the envoys of the princes, they are all doing nonsense in the city with their own identities, wouldn't it destroy the order of the state, such a thing cannot be tolerated." ”
"Bring Ma Yu up."
Different from the high-spirited when he first entered Jinyang, Ma Yu at this time looked a little miserable, and the bruises on his face showed what kind of treatment he suffered in prison, and the guards who came with Ma Yu were even more tragic, but they were barely able to walk.
"After the official returns to Yangzhou, he will definitely inform the lord of what happened in the city, and the state is not only barren, but also vulgar and arrogant." Ma Yu glanced coldly at everyone in the field.
The civilian officials can still bear it, but the generals in the army can't bear it, and such naked humiliation is more uncomfortable than killing them.
"Master Ma's affairs in the city, if Yuan Shu knows, I don't know what will happen? The dignified Yangzhou envoy actually fought in the Sifang Building because of the lack of money for wine and food, and he was not afraid of the ridicule of the world? Wei Xu took a step forward and glared at Ma Yu angrily, but there was no respect for Yuan Shu in his words.
"It's so expensive, it's just bullying outsiders." Ma Yu replied fearlessly.
Lu Bu waved his hand, and said in a slightly low voice: "Ma Yu and others committed murder in the Sifang Building, and the crime is extremely heinous, and they should be beheaded and punished by the law and discipline of the state." ”
Ma Yu's face changed greatly when he heard this, his body softened, and he fell to the ground, Fang Cai's toughness was just a strong support, he understood that he represented Yuan Shu, if he showed weakness, he would definitely be ashamed of the people of Bingzhou, and after returning to Yangzhou, Yuan Shu would not let him go easily.
What kind of person is Lu Bu, Ma Yu has already heard of it, when he was crusading against Dong Zhuo in the past, he dared to kick Yuan Shu in front of all the princes, a reckless man from beginning to end, and it seems that it is not so effective to reason with such a person.
Seeing Ma Yu who was paralyzed on the ground, everyone was disdainful, this was clearly a strong inward, if Ma Yu took out the prestige of Fang Cai, even if he died, he would win the praise of others.
"But Nian Zai Ma Yu is a messenger of Yangzhou, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." Lu Bu glanced at Ma Yu playfully.
Ma Yu didn't care about the sarcasm in Lu Bu's eyes, just like a driftwood suddenly tricked by the drowning man's side, and knelt on the ground regardless of the image, "Thank you for the grace of the Marquis of Jin for not killing, after returning to Yangzhou next time, I will definitely say a lot of good things for Bingzhou." ”
"Hmph, there is no need for good words, Ben Hou and Yuan Shu are at odds with each other." Lu Bu said: "The money for the wine and food in the Sifang Building must be settled immediately. ”
"Give it later, give it later." Ma Yu couldn't help but agree.
"The guards dared to attack the city guards, and killed one of the chiefs, and executed all of them, and beheaded them outside the west city gate after noon tomorrow; Ma Yu, as a messenger, was not strict with his majesty, and he hit the 20th board and compensated Shi Chang's family with 100,000 yuan. ”
The guards who followed Ma Yu couldn't support it anymore and fell to the ground, and the two guards even shed yellow and white things, and there was a peculiar smell in the hall.
Ma Yu woke up from the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and he replayed the twenty boards, and he had to pay 100,000 yuan in compensation, when did the life of a chief become so expensive.
Money is something outside the body, so forget it, but after the news of the 20 boards in public spread to Yangzhou, how could he raise his head in front of his colleagues in the future.
"Lord Lu, no, it's the envoy of Yangzhou below." Ma Yu pleaded.
"Don't say that you are the envoy of Yangzhou, even if you are the pastor of Yangzhou, you will be punished in the same way, in Bingzhou, but anyone who violates the law and discipline will be guilty of unforgivable." Lu Bu shouted.
