Chapter Twenty-Seven: Gongsun Zhaozhu (Ask for Collection)
Xiangping City, Liaodong County. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝU๏ฝEใ infoZhong Yu and others welcomed Liu Yu and his entourage, who had returned triumphantly, to the city, and the people stood on both sides of the street, cheering for Liu Yu. Even Gongsun Zhao showed his welcome to Liu Yu with a sneer.
Liu Yu looked at Gongsun Zhao, smiled mysteriously, then shifted his gaze to the people and beckoned.
Liu Yu and his entourage did not enter the Taishou Mansion, but went directly to the original Tian Shao's house, and now this house is Liu Yu's.
After Gongsun Zhao and other officials left, Liu Yu asked, "How have I been away all these days?" โ
Zhong Xuan replied: "After the lord went to pacify the bandits, we removed most of the incompetent officials in Xiangping City, and a few of them were descendants of Gongsun Zhao, and then helped the people in the city to collect all the grain, except for what should be paid, all of them were given to the people, and there was no chance for Gongsun Zhao to be embezzled, and there was also good news from various counties, saying that the bandits were basically eliminated, and as long as a few activities were in the mountains, it would take time to solve them." โ
Liu Yu nodded and said, "Very good, I am not good at handling these trivial matters, and I am very relieved to leave them to you to deal with." โ
Everyone bowed in unison and said, "I am willing to serve the Lord." โ
Liu Yu asked again: "Then what is Gongsun Zhao's reaction?" โ
Yan Rou stood up and replied, "Even if the lord doesn't ask, there is one thing I have to tell the lord, didn't the lord let us pay attention to Gongsun Zhao?" Perhaps because we removed several of his descendants, just a month ago, we found out that Gongsun Zhao had sent a man out of Xiangping secretly at night, and when we caught up with him, we found a letter on this person. โ
Liu Yu said suspiciously: "What is written in the letter?" โ
"The letter was addressed to the king of Goguryeo, and he hoped that Goguryeo would send troops to Xiangping, and he was willing to respond internally, hoping to kill the lord by the hand of Goguryeo." Yan Rou replied.
Liu Yu frowned, and said with some anger: "Hmph, Gongsun Zhao is really looking for death, I borrowed his hand to kill Tian Shao in the early stage, and I didn't know what to do with him, now that I have this handle, then don't blame me for being unkind." โ
Suddenly realizing something, Liu Yu asked, "Did Gongsun Zhaoke also send someone else to deliver the letter?" It is not appropriate for us to go to war with Goguryeo at this time. And what about the messenger who was caught earlier? โ
Yan Rou said, "According to our observations, Gongsun Zhao should not have sent anyone else. The messenger who was caught was now locked up in the mansion, and Gongsun Zhao didn't know about it. โ
Liu Yu smiled and nodded.
Zhong Xuan asked, "What is the lord going to do with this matter?" โ
Liu Yu pondered for a while, and suddenly made a decision to arrange directly: "Evil, you take someone to arrest Gongsun Zhao directly." โ
Zhong Xuan asked, "Has the lord already decided?" If we don't make a decision, we will rush to arrest now, once there is a mistake, Gongsun Zhao also has a lot of private soldiers in his hands, won't the gains outweigh the losses? โ
Dian Wei said excitedly: "If there is a mistake, Wei Titou will come to see you." โ
Zhong Xuan was amused by Dian Wei and explained: "I'm not worried that Evil Lai can't arrest Gongsun Zhao, but I'm worried that after Gongsun Zhao is arrested, a series of reactions will probably have some adverse consequences for us." โ
Liu Yu said: "Zhong Jun's words are not unreasonable, so please ask the country to lead a more reliable army to closely monitor Gongsun Zhao's mansion, once there is a private army to make a rebellion, surround and annihilate it on the spot, if there is no movement, you will also stand still, and wait for me to deal with Gongsun Zhao and then appease." โ
Tian Yu looked solemn, nodded, and went to prepare for action with Dian Wei.
That night, Gongsun Zhao was caught by Dian Wei in the Taishou Mansion, and the people in Gongsun Zhao's Mansion wanted to stop it, but after Dian Wei rampage knocked down several people who wanted to stop him in a row, the rest of the people were shocked and didn't dare to step forward, and let Dian Wei's people arrest Gongsun Zhao away.
The catastrophe is coming, and now Dian Wei has come to arrest Gongsun Zhao, and it is clear that Taishou wants to deal with Gongsun Zhao, after these people show a little loyalty, they will naturally think more about themselves, not to mention that Gongsun Zhao does not treat his subordinates sympathetiously on weekdays, but before Gongsun Zhao gained power, these people will follow him with a tendency to follow, and now he is not powerful, and few are really loyal to him.
And Tian Yu even surrounded Gongsun Zhao's mansion, and those who originally wanted to do something might not be able to do anything at this time, Liu Yu wanted to see Gongsun Zhao's people come to rescue him, so that Liu Yu could catch them all.
After Gongsun Zhao was arrested, Liu Yu did not put him in prison, but directly started the trial: "Gongsun Zhao, you are guilty." โ
"Lord Fujun, I don't know what the crime is? Why did the adults arrest me, and I am still in the dark? Gongsun Zhao looked innocent, and no one seemed to think that he had committed a crime.
"Okay, then let me tell you, as a county magistrate, you don't want to do things for the people, but loot the people, forcibly occupy the people's mansions, and you still find an excuse to kill those who don't obey you, after the former Taishou was killed, you occupied the treasury, embezzled money and grain, abused power, and colluded with thieves, privately raised government soldiers, and colluded with Tian Shao, a wealthy gentleman in the county, and was in cahoots with Tian Shao and others, a wealthy gentleman in the countyใใใใใใ" Liu Yu listed Gongsun Zhao's crimes one by one, most of which were written by Tian Shao before, and some of which Liu Yu found now.
"Do you not even know about these crimes you have committed? I thought that after Ben Taishou arrived, he would be somewhat restrained, but he didn't expect that you would not change your dead nature, and you would intensify your efforts, and in order to clear your name, you would kill Tian Shaoyu Mansion privately. Liu Yu's voice became more and more majestic, as long as it was a crime, Liu Yu would be detained on the head of Gongsun Zhao.
After hearing this, Gongsun Zhao's face did not change and said loudly: "Lord Fujun, I have been wronged." All this was done by Tian Shao, isn't Tian Shao also an adult who asked me to kill? How can I blame it now? โ
Liu Yu had long known that Gongsun Zhao would definitely not admit it to death, and he didn't think that Gongsun Zhao would admit it, so he said angrily: "Could it be that Ben Taishou is so black and white, and he is perverse?" Truth be told, I will never wrong a good person, and I will never let go of a bad person who is unrepentant. โ
"Taishou, is there any evidence for that?" Gongsun Zhao defended himself.
"Haha, do you need proof? Could it be that you think that if Tian Shao is dead, I will have no evidence? Don't forget, the people of this county are all proof. How about it, Gongsun County Order, do you want me to call them to the court? Liu Yu smiled a little evilly.
Gongsun Zhao's face changed, he knew that he had done a lot of evil things before, and he treated the people too harshly, so that the people hated him to the core, and now Liu Yu is willing to stand up for them, they will definitely come to testify against themselves, and when it is not their own crime, it is estimated that they will be said to be their own crimes, and now Gongsun Zhao said: "How can such a foolish person be counted as evidence?" โ
"Okay, then you can take a look at this again." After speaking, Liu Yu threw a letter to Gongsun Zhao, which was the letter written by Gongsun Zhao to the king of Goguryeo earlier.
When Gongsun Zhao got the letter, he was a little frightened, opened the letter and looked at it, his face changed before he read it, and after a long time, Gongsun Zhao said: "What do you mean, sir?" Even if you want to kill me, there is no need for you to write such a letter to falsely accuse me. I have no contact with Goguryeo, so how can I know their king? โ
"Bring it on." Liu Yu did not answer Gongsun Zhao's words.
The soldier escorted a person forward, it was the same person who had sent the letter to Gongsun Zhao earlier, Gongsun Zhao had closed his eyes at this moment, and he scolded this person in his heart: Didn't you say it earlier? Once you encounter a situation, you will immediately burn the letters, and once you are caught, you will commit suicide on the spot, and I will take care of your parents, wife and children?
"Gongsun Zhao, what else do you have to say?" Liu Yu asked majestically.
"I don't know this person." Gongsun Zhao also wanted to quibble for himself.
"Lord County Commander, you can't be like this, we said at the beginning, I will send you this letter, you give me 2,000 money, and take care of my parents, wife and children." The messenger said tremblingly.
"That's not what we said at the beginning, I said that once I was caught and bitten my tongue and killed myself, I would... Suddenly, Gongsun Zhao immediately stopped talking.
At this point in the trial, there is nothing to be tried, Liu Yu recorded all these testimonies, and asked the people of the city to announce the list tomorrow.
Then Liu Yu said: "The former Xiangping County Commander Sun Zhao committed a heinous crime, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, his crime should be punished." However, most of the crimes committed by Gongsun Zhao were bullying the people, and Gongsun Zhao is now handed over to the people to deal with themselves. โ
