"Brother, what's wrong?" When Jiang Xu came out of the mansion, his face was still a little dignified, his brother Jiang Yu is now serving as the commander of the guard battalion (not the hussar battalion) under Xiong Kuohai, and today it is his turn to take office, seeing Jiang Xu's solemn expression, he couldn't help but step forward in confusion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Nothing." Jiang Xu shook his head, glanced at his clan brother, and said with a smile: "Yulu is going to rise, do it well." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Xu blankly, his fortune was about to rise, this is a good thing, how can he look worried, which makes people nervous.

Jiang Xu did not say any more, the implementation of the legal system, from Jiang Xu to Lu Bu's command, this is not the first time to talk about it, but there has never been a time when it has been talked about in such depth as this time.

Corruption, this is probably a problem that is difficult to eliminate in all dynasties, including the decree implemented by Lu Bu this time, but it is undeniable that this time Lu Bu implemented a high level of income and integrity, undoubtedly opened a new road, while using a high amount of money to improve the sense of belonging of his subordinates, the criminal law is used to restrain the corruption of officials under his rule, and there is also a special responsibility for Lu Bu, not subject to anyone's supervision, it can indeed curb corruption to a large extent.

However, Jiang Xu also found an important link.

Attorney general!

So far, there have been a lot of wealthy families who have taken refuge in Lu Bu, but no one has ever been able to be arranged to enter the Department of Justice, that is to say, although Lu Bu uses them, but at the same time, his vigilance against these wealthy families has never been lowered, and the Department of Justice is a sword in Lu Bu's hands to curb the development of these wealthy families and even the future family.

And Jiang Xu, obviously one of them, many times, members of the family into a certain prince, will seek the welfare of their clan, relatively speaking, on the contrary, they do not pay too much attention to the Lu, Lu Bu raised the official Yulu at the same time, but also strengthened the means of severe punishment, it seems to be to fight corruption, but in the final analysis, it is still balancing the family and the poor, and the family, in this policy, is obviously the suppressed party.

These things were also thought of by Jiang Xu after he left the mansion.

Turning his head and glancing at the direction of the government, Jiang Xu smiled bitterly, such an order, if it was anywhere in the Central Plains, would be greatly resisted, but here in Lu Bu, it has to be another matter, the officials under Lu Bu are basically from the poor family, and under Lu Bu's various decrees, they are extremely supportive of Lu Bu, and they, the children of wealthy families, do not have the strength and qualifications to oppose Lu Bu's decree at all.

And when Lu Bu's territory expands in the future, these decrees will also be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people over time, even if the families who join the Lu Bu group want to resist at that time, they will not be able to resist.

It seems that we have to consult with the clansmen as soon as possible to avoid rashly confronting Lu Bu's decree.

In this matter, Jiang Xu saw very clearly, the Jiang family and even all the wealthy families in the entire Yongliang territory did not have the confidence to fight against Lu Bu, if they wanted to break their wrists with Lu Bu, it would be just boring for themselves, and when the Department of Justice came to the door in the future, Lu Bu would be supported by all the people if he wanted to use a knife, not only the family would be hit hard, but he would even be infamy.

For Jiang Xu, Lu Bu's previous words are naturally not without the meaning of knocking, although these wealthy families have not done anything damaging to the fundamentals at the moment, but this aspect must be prepared in advance, and it can be regarded as a precautionary measure, just as Pang Tong in the Western Regions commented, the current Lu Bu seems to be strong, but he is taking a road that all princes dare not take, and if he takes a wrong step, he is likely to lose everything, this kind of struggle that cannot see the sword and sword shadow is actually a hundred times more dangerous than the battle of real swords and real guns.

This matter is just a small thing, but there are many big things that are set off from some trivial things.

Jizhou, Yecheng.

As one of Yuan Shao's four strategists, it stands to reason that even if he is not as respected as the local scholars of the Tian family, he will not be neglected, but unfortunately although Xu You is talented, he has a greedy personality, and he uses his power to ask for bribes on weekdays, so among the four major strategists under Yuan Shao, Xu You is the most unpopular one, but Xu You, who has eyesight and cannot touch people, he will never provoke.

However, Xu You does not provoke others, it does not mean that others will not provoke Xu You, Yuan Shao started at the beginning, and the test was not actually a Hebei scholar, and the Ru Ying Group that surrounded Han Fu gave up Han Fu and chose Yuan Shao, among which the most typical characters are Guo Tu, Xu You, Feng Ji, Xun Yu, Xin Ping, Yuan Shao after replacing Han Fu, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, while reusing these Ru Ying families, it also re-enabled such as Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, and these Hebei celebrities, forming a situation where the two groups check and balance each other, which is convenient for stability.

Such a decision is undoubtedly correct, the two major family groups work together with Yuan Shao at the same time, but also check and balance each other, but with the continuous growth of Yuan Shao's power, the internal contradictions also began to intensify, plus Yuan Shao was a little complacent later, allowing the contradictions between the two groups to gradually become acute and did not intervene in time to reconcile, which is why when Guo Jia said ten wins and ten defeats, he focused on Yuan Shao's factions.

Xu You is greedy and public, and naturally has become the focus of criticism by the Hebei Group, but Xu You once made friends with Yuan Shaozhi, and he didn't know how to restrain himself, and he never ignored those criticisms, and he did have the ability, he was an important minister around Yuan Shao, and it was not easy to bring him down.

However, just because Xu Yu is not easy to get it doesn't mean that there is no way.

With such a 'celebrity' as an example, for a family, the existence of Xu Yu is not only the protector of the family, but also invisibly affects the behavior of the family.

Xu Ping, one of Xu You's nephews, is really just an insignificant little person in a place like Yecheng where famous people walk, but because he is Xu You's nephew, and Xu You recommended him to enter the army, although his official position is not high, he is just a Sima in the army, but he has real power in his hands, Yuan Shao's army is outside, Xu Ping is responsible for transporting grain and grass, and later after being sent back by Yuan Shao to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, he served under the trial and matching.

The official is not big, but his courage is fatter than Xu You, and this time, he actually stretched out his hand to the army's grain and grass.

This was not instructed by Xu You, on the contrary, Xu You knew very well the significance of this war to Yuan Shao, and when he left, he had told him a thousand times that anything could be touched, but military rations were taboo, and there was no room for loss, and touching was death.

It's a pity that Xu Ping still touched it, not to mention the discord between the trial and Xu You, even if the two have a relationship, in this kind of matter, it is impossible to tolerate it with the character of the trial, and after finding out that it was wrong, Xu Ping was directly arrested.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the judge looked at Xu Ping, who was pressed to the ground by the two guards, with a pale face, and said sharply: "The military rations are related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of the lord's army, and it is also related to the success or failure of the lord's battle, Xu Ping, you are so bold!" On weekdays, you bully and dominate the market, I don't know you, but as soon as this matter is committed, you will be wiped out, and Xu Ziyuan has nothing to say! ”

"My lord spares his life, this matter is on the orders of my uncle, not the responsibility of the subordinates!" Xu Ping's face turned pale with fright, and he fell to the ground, crying loudly.

"Shut up!" The judge's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Someone, drag this person down, behead the public, and set an example!" ”

"Whoa!" The wolf-like guard escorted Xu Ping, who was crying bitterly, out, and after a while, there was a piercing scream, and Xu Ping had been cut off his head.

"This matter can only be done by being the lord of the table." The trial has a calm face, he knows that this is a good opportunity to bring down Xu You, but the current situation, Yuan Cao's decisive battle has reached a critical moment, and there must be no internal chaos, so the idea of the trial is to report the matter to Yuan Shao first, and remind Yuan Shao in the letter that Xu Yu must not be moved at this time, otherwise it is easy to cause internal chaos, there are very contradictions, after defeating Cao Cao, it is not too late, but Xu You, it must be removed, but it must wait until after the victory.

With this in mind, the judge asked the messenger to send the letter to the front line overnight, and he continued to count the military rations.

At this time, Xu You naturally didn't know that a catastrophe was coming, although he was greedy for money, but he was sincere to Yuan Shao, and verbally loved to take advantage of Yuan Shao, often commensurate with the words, but in his heart he really regarded Yuan Shao as the master.

These days, Xu You found that something was wrong with Cao Jun's movements, Cao Cao seemed to be a little anxious, and he took a team of guards to investigate around Cao Ying in the morning, hoping to find out the truth of Cao Ying.

"Look there, sir!" Xu You only took a dozen people with him, so he naturally didn't dare to get too close to Cao Ying, so he could only watch from afar, and at this moment, a personal guard suddenly pointed to the entrance of Cao Ying in the distance.

Xu You turned his head to look, but saw a man dressed as a family member galloping towards this direction on a fast horse.

"This is the way to Xuchang, quick, intercept him!" Xu You's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked people to intercept him secretly.

Xu You's personal guards, but they were all elites selected by Yuan Shao from the halberd, heard the words and neatly bypassed the mountain road and intercepted the knight on the way to go, Xu You followed and searched for a letter from his body.

"What is written on it, sir?" Several guards watched Xu You's hand holding the letter continue to shake, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Urgent document, this is an urgent document written by Cao Apu to Xuchang, Cao's army has no food, and our army's victory is imminent!" Xu You laughed and said, "Let's go, go and tell the lord the news!" ”

In front of outsiders, especially in front of his soldiers, Xu You still attaches great importance to Yuan Shao's majesty, at the moment, all the way to the horse, rushed back to Yuan Shao's camp, but at this time, the messenger sent by the trial to deliver the letter also sent the letter to Yuan Shao's hands one step ahead of Xu You, including some suggestions for the trial, but Xu You went straight to Yuan Shao's main camp with people without knowing it, and went to show his merit with joy.
