Chapter Ninety-Three: A Mountain of Ironclad Evidence (2)

As soon as Liu Qi's voice fell, he saw Huo Jun come forward and salute Liu Biao: "The last general Huo Jun sees the adult, Lord Qiqi, at the beginning, the last general will gather hundreds of parts with his brother Huo Du in his hometown Zhijiang, and defect to serve under the county magistrate, at this time, Fang Zhizhijiang, Dangyang, Yiling, Jingling, and Yidao counties are all oppressed by Zhang Yun, and the commander of each county must pay him a certain bribe every year in order to keep his current position, and every wife and daughter of the commander of the Ling family must also be humiliated by Zhang Yun, otherwise, not only will the official position not be guaranteed, Even life is a matter of life. The last general was transferred from Zhijiang to Jiangling by him, and was ordered to go to the aid of the eldest prince, but Zhang Yun secretly ordered the last general to find an opportunity to assassinate the eldest prince. ”

After Huo Jun finished speaking, he took out the letter from his arms that Zhang Yun asked him to assassinate Liu Qi, and respectfully handed it to Liu Biao. ”

Next, Liu Biao's personal guards immediately rushed forward and escorted Zhang Yun into the cell.

Seeing that Zhang Yun was escorted away, Liu Qi took out another letter and said: "There is evidence here that Zhang Yunke detained grain and grass and ordered the reinforcement generals Deng Zhi, Chen Zhen and others to assassinate the child, this Zhang Yun assassinated the child is a small matter, but at that time it was the most critical period for the child to lead the army to pacify the Changsha thief Zhang Xian, in case the child unfortunately died, I am afraid that the entire Jingnan will be owned by the traitor again, and once this happens, the child is afraid that even Nanjun will suffer from it." Therefore, the child believes that Zhang Yun's assassination is not only a child, but a foundation created by his father's hard work, so not severely punishing him is not enough to set an example. ”

Liu Biao nodded and said: "What Qi'er said is right, this Zhang Yun is so bold and reckless, and his feelings are very hateful, and he passed on the order of the official to deprive Zhang Yunbian of his generals, Jiangling County Commander, and Governor of Jiangling County, demoted to the rank of military Sima, and sent to serve in Cangwu County." ”

The chief bookkeeper Kuai Yue Compendium issued an order, but Cai Mao stepped forward and said: "Lord, although Cangwu is deserted, it is now thriving under the governance of Taishou Deng Zhi, and it cannot reflect the punishment of Zhang Yun. ”

Liu Biao nodded and said, "If you pay it back, let's send Zhang Yunfa to the South China Sea." Write down the derogatory book. ”

Liu Qi couldn't help but sneer secretly when he heard Cai Mao's words, he naturally knew that Cai Mao's move was to let Zhang Yun go to Jiaozhou to help Lai Gong seize power, because Lai Gong had no power in his hands after taking office as the assassin of Jiaozhou, although he had recently recruited Zhang Jin's old troops Yi Liao, Qian Bo and others, and had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and wanted to take the opportunity to take back the military power in the hands of Jiang Wan, the Taishou Jiang Wan of the South China Sea, and Deng Zhi of Cangwu, but Jiang Wan and Deng Zhi were both generals of his Liu Qi's subordinates, and they only obeyed their own orders, and did not listen to Lai Gong's restrictions at all, Lai Gong could not, so he could only barely protect himself.

How could Liu Qi let Lai Gong's power in Jiaozhou suddenly increase, and let his subordinate Jiang Wan be threatened?

So he just thought about it for a while, and then stepped forward and said: "Slow down, enlighten the father, the child thinks that Zhang Yun's matter has not been closed, please think about it, Zhang Yun has privately swallowed a huge amount of wealth, but now that so much wealth is missing, how can we close the case?" My father governed me in Jingzhou, and the officials ruled Qingming, and the world praised me, but Zhang Yun insulted his colleagues and brought disaster to the township. How to explain to the people of Jingzhou? The child believes that this time the stolen goods must be recovered, and these goods must be used for public use, or used to help the people, and treat the scholars well, and they must not be swallowed by the young. In addition, the child believes that the reason why Zhang Yun is so bold must be an accomplice, and his father should be tortured and interrogated, so that he must recruit an accomplice. ”

As soon as Liu Qi's voice fell, he saw Kuai Yue step forward and said: "Lord, the lower officials think that what the eldest prince said is reasonable, the lord has been honest all his life, and he can't tolerate those corrupt people in his eyes. Please also think twice. ”

Liu Biao hesitated for a while when he heard this, and suddenly said loudly: "What Qi'er and Yidu said is reasonable, even so, this official will let people be severely interrogated, and Zhang Yun must confess his accomplice. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao and said slowly: "Master Cai, who do you think is suitable for trying this case?" ”

Cai Mao immediately stepped forward and said proudly: "Lord Qiqi, the last general is willing to bear it." ”

At this moment, Kuai Yue suddenly said: "My lord, the lower officials think that although Cai Junshi is loyal, it is not suitable to do this, because Cai Junshi is the Taishou of Nanjun, and Zhang Yun is his subordinate, so he should avoid suspicion, and the eldest prince is the whistleblower of this case, so he should also avoid suspicion, otherwise, even if this case is tried, I am afraid that everyone will not be convinced." Therefore, Xia Guan believes that it is better to let Liu Shizong (Liu Xian) be in charge of the trial, Liu has always been upright and will definitely be able to hear this case clearly. ”

Liu Biao smiled when he heard this: "What Master Kuai said is reasonable, De Jue, Qi'er can understand your loyalty, but at this time, you should really avoid suspicion, and in this case, Lao Shizong is in charge of this matter." ”

"No, the lower officials will do their best to find out about this matter." Liu Xian bowed to Liu Biao and said with a solemn expression.

And Cai Mao saw that this case was actually tried by Liu Xian, and he couldn't help but feel cold, because this person has always been square, honest and selfless, he doesn't care whether Zhang Yun is Liu Biao's nephew or not, he will definitely be punished when he should be punished, Zhang Yun has always been pampered, and when the time comes, he will definitely not be able to stay up and make a move, so he will definitely be involved, and once this is the case, although he will not be punished, he will inevitably lose the trust of the lord Liu Biao, and once he loses trust, the weight of his words will definitely not be as good as before, This will lead his son-in-law Liu Cong to fall out of favor in front of Liu Surface, and then lead to his own plans for many years finally turning into flowing water.

"It seems that when necessary, a strong man must break his wrist and silence those who should be silent." Cai Mao's eyes quietly flashed a hint of murderous intent, and said secretly.

At this time, Liu Qi still refused to give up, and said to Liu Biao: "Father, the child still has something to report, Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu colluded with Zhang Hu and greedy for money, if he is not brought to justice, it will be difficult to convince the world." ”

"This ......" Liu Biao looked at Liu Qi, and then at Huang Zu, and couldn't help but show a trace of hesitation on his face, because Huang Zu is a Jiangxia clan, and he has been relied on by himself as a confidant for many years, and has become a powerful barrier for himself to resist Jiangdong Sun Ce and Huainan Yuan Shu.

However, Huang Zu has committed the crime of embezzlement after all, if he does not punish him strictly, once the wind of corruption prevails, I am afraid that it will be difficult to clean up Jingzhou officials in the future.

Liu Biao thought for a while, and then said: "Demote Huang Zu from General Hengjiang to General Pi, and still serve as Jiangxia Taishou, and be fined for one year to set an example. ”

Seeing this, Liu Qi hurriedly said that the punishment was too light, and he should be removed from the position of Jiangxia Taishou and find another sage to replace him, but saw Cai Mao step forward and said to Liu Biao: "Lord, Huang Zu has made great contributions to protect my Jingzhou for so many years, first shot Sun Jian, went to a strong enemy for my Jingzhou, and then fought against Sun Ce and Yuan Shu many times, and pacified the Changsha thief Zhang Xian. ”

Liu Biao saw that Cai Mao's words were in line with his own meaning, and hurriedly nodded: "What the military advisor said is good, and this official also means this, as for Huang Chengzong's matter, it is so decided, Qi'er, you have been tired of traveling for days, and you are tired, go down and rest, Xenodu has talked about your marriage with Ruyu many times, and now I am returning to Xiangyang with you, and my father has just done your marriage." ”

"No. And so, the child withdrew. Liu Qi did feel tired, and after hearing his father say this, he immediately stood up, arched his hand at his father, asked his father to resign, and then respectfully retreated

Liu Qi listened to his father Liu Biao laugh while walking out: "Different degrees, five days later is the tenth day of the sixth month, which is the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is appropriate to marry, and this official officially asks you for the date of your father." ”

Hearing it again, he smiled and said: "Xiaguan is ready, just waiting for the lord's words, Xiaguan thinks that it is indeed a good day after five days, okay, Xiaguan agrees to this matter, and Xiaguan will marry Ru......yu after five days."

"Five days later? I didn't expect to get married so soon. Hehe, I, Liu Qi, am finally a man with a family and affairs, the ancients called a family and a business, these two are the indispensable wings of a man, and now my industry has also been established, and the family has become, and finally I am a man in the full sense, Yu'er, I don't know how beautiful the moonlight will be in five days? I don't know how good it will be in five days, and we can finally be together. ”

And in the evening of the same day, Liu Qi received a secret letter, the author of this letter is Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu, I saw Huang Zu write in the letter: "The last general came to Cai Mao's mansion in the evening, and thanked Cai Mao for interceding for the last general, but Cai Mao took advantage of the situation to lure the last general, and asked the last general to support the second son Liu Cong with him, deal with Liu Qi, and avenge today's revenge." The last general agreed without any hesitation, Cai Mao was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked the last general to still guard Jiangxia and contact him if he had something. The last general will go back to Jiangxia, if there is nothing important to do and no longer contact the eldest son, by the way, the last general will also congratulate the eldest son on his marriage, and finally, don't forget my daughter's matter. ”

Liu Qi looked at Huang Zu's letter, couldn't help but smile, and said secretly: "Cai Mao, you want to harm me, you wouldn't have thought that this son would plant a bomb in your heart, right?" In the future, I want to see how you died? ”
