Chapter 274: Cai Yong weeps corpse

As the sky fell, Liu Wei led Deng Zhan and a team of soldiers who had changed into neat clothes and armor to walk on the streets of Chang'an.

Groups of officers and soldiers in pure black armor were running around the streets, searching for officials associated with Dong Zhuo.

The residences of many officials were kicked open by the officers and soldiers, and groups of relatives of the officials who had been arrogant in Chang'an City were tied up and driven out of their homes by the officers and soldiers in charge of the search.

Countless once glorious families were implicated because they had inextricable links with Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was ambushed, and they also lost their former confidence, and the arrogance of the past has completely dissipated, and they are driven away like pigs and dogs.

The nobles who had been driven out of the houses were drooping their heads one by one, and their faces were as dead as ashes. From their eyes full of panic and despair, it can be seen that they have no hope for life.

The sin of rebellion is light, and the weight is delayed. Liu Xie suffered the humiliation of Dong Zhuo for many days, and most of the ministers of the DPRK and China wanted to eat Dong Zhuo's flesh and feast on it. Now that Dong Zhuo's power has been overturned, how can they still take it lightly to these nobles who helped Dong Zhuo bully him in the first place?

Looking at the groups of prisoners who were escorted to the prison by the officers and soldiers in the city, Liu Wei knew that it might not be long before these people would be sentenced to death and taken to the market to have their heads cut off, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart.

People, that's it. When they were rich, they never thought about what would happen to them if the sky fell. How many of these people who were arrested relied on Dong Zhuo's power to run rampant in the township and bully the good.

Although good and evil are rewarded, among so many prisoners, there will be some innocent and good people after all. But what about good people? Once it is related to the word "rebellion", what awaits them is only death.

The people who had been imprisoned by the Xiliang Army had been released, but the prisons in Chang'an City were not empty, but more prisoners were being held.

Because Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang and changed the armor of the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers who were arresting the anti-party in the city were still wearing jet-black battle clothes, but only the more than 100 personal soldiers who followed behind Liu Wei received the clothes and armor of the big red Han army stored in the treasury.

"I don't know how many more people will die!" Walking on the street, another group of prisoners was escorted by officers and soldiers to walk in front of him, Deng Zhan turned his head to look at the team of brightly dressed but dejected prisoners, sighed lightly, and muttered a word.

"A change of power always kills people!" Looking at the prisoners who were escorted in the direction of the prison like Deng Zhan, Liu Wei first whispered to Deng Zhan, and then seemed to remember a very important thing, and said to Deng Zhan: "Sir, have you forgotten that you and I were eating and drinking at the old man's house?" ”

"Your Highness still has a jar of old wine left to eat." Speaking of the old man who made wine, Deng Zhan's depressed mood was slightly soothed, and he said to Liu Wei: "I just don't know how the old man's family ...... after this change in the city."

"If Dong Zhuo had searched the city earlier, they had not been harmed by the Xiliang army, and now they would definitely be staying at home." Liu Wei smiled slightly, and said to Deng Zhan: "Among the requests mentioned by this king to His Majesty, there is one that is to search for the remnants of the rebels, and it is necessary to strictly order the soldiers not to harass the people. ”

"Your Highness is benevolent!" When Liu Wei said this, Deng Zhan bowed down and agreed, but he was faintly moved in his heart.

Dong Zhuo was sentenced, Liu Wei was the first hero, and he also won a lot of people's hearts in the court. Now that Liu Wei's army is about to leave for Chang'an, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are rushing to help, as long as he is willing, he can replace Liu Xie at any time.

But Liu Wei didn't do that, he just proposed to Liu Xie to wait until the situation stabilized, and then led the army back to Luoyang; and implored Liu Xie to canonize Diao Chan as a princess, and add Lu Bu as a lieutenant and undertake the requirements of Chang'an defense.

In order to stabilize Liu Bian, and also to show his sincerity in governing the country together with Liu Bian, Liu Xie agreed to Liu Bian's demands without even thinking about it.

led Deng Zhan and the others, walked through several streets, and passed by several teams of officers and soldiers who captured Dong Zhuoyu's party, and Liu Wei and others came to the alley where the old brewer's house was located.

More than 100 soldiers arrived at the entrance of the alley and quickly set up sentry posts on both sides of the alley, like iron buckets around the alley. Liu Wei and Deng Zhan took two personal soldiers and walked straight to the door of the old man's house.

The small wine sign that hung outside the old man's house earlier had been picked off and dropped to the ground, and there were many footprints on the flag, which was very filthy.

The door of the old man's house was closed, and there was no smell of human habitation at all.

Liu Wei and Deng Zhan glanced at each other, and both of them wrinkled their brows slightly. Deng Zhan took two steps forward, raised his hand and tapped the door twice, and shouted into the house: "Uncle, we are the guests who came here to drink before......

As soon as Deng Zhan's words fell, there was the sound of someone dragging a heavy object in the house, and then the door was opened, and the old man poked his head out of the house, and saw that it was Liu Wei and Deng Zhan standing outside the door, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pulled Deng Zhan and said to him: "The two guests are so bold, and people are being arrested everywhere in the market......

"Might as well!" Before the old man's words fell, Liu Wei raised his feet and took a step forward, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to the old man: "The officers and soldiers are just arresting Dong Zhuo for rebelling against the party, and they have nothing to do with you and me. The old man just opened the door and let the two of us go in to eat! ”

Hearing that the officers and soldiers were arresting Dong Zhuo for rebelling against the party, the old man was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, when a shout came from outside the alley: "I'm going to light a sky lantern for Dong Zhuo, and the big guys are all coming to see it!" ”

The streets were full of officers and soldiers running back and forth and busy arresting people, and there was already a lot of noise, and this shout drifted into the ears of Liu Wei and others, and immediately the whole street was filled with the shout of "Dong Zhuo wants to be lit with sky lanterns".

Listening to the shouts on the street, Liu Wei and Deng Zhan glanced at each other, Liu Wei clasped his fists and arched at the old man and said: "There is some excitement to see today, and I will disturb the old man in the coming day." ”

After speaking, he led Deng Zhan and the two personal soldiers to turn around and walk towards the end of the alley. The soldiers who were guarding at the other end of the alley saw them leave, and hurriedly trotted after them.

Watching a group of soldiers in red armor running by, the old man standing outside the door had his eyes wide open, and a touch of horror appeared on his face. Even if he has never seen the world again, from the battle in front of him, he can definitely see that Liu Wei is not very human, otherwise where would there be so many officers and soldiers following.

Leading everyone out of the alley, Liu Wei found that the street was already full of people waiting to see the excitement.

Most of the people in Chang'an City migrated here from Luoyang, and on the way to migration, every family had relatives who threw their bodies into the wilderness, and they hated Dong Zhuo to the bone marrow.

Hearing that Dong Zhuo was going to be lit with a sky lantern, the people actually forgot that people were still being arrested on the street, and poured out of their homes one after another, just waiting to see how the corpses of a generation of heroes would be humiliated after their deaths.

Liu Wei and the others squeezed out the crowd and stood on the side of the street, looking at the group of people who were walking towards them at the entrance of the street.

A Han army general rode a tall horse, and walked slowly along the street with the team very arrogantly.

Behind him were two teams of officers and soldiers wearing pure black armor who had not yet had time to change the big red armor of the Han army. The officers and men lined up in two groups, hugging a horse with a long rope.

At the end of the rope, a fat corpse was dragged like a dead dog, dragging it forward down the street.

Although the bluestone pavement on the street is smooth, there is still a gap between the bluestone and the bluestone after all, and the horse dragged Dong Zhuo's corpse, and if he didn't take two steps, Dong Zhuo's corpse would be shaken up.

When the team dragging the corpse walked through the street, Liu Wei hurriedly led Deng Zhan and the others to follow. And the onlookers also followed behind, just waiting to see how to light the sky lantern for Dong Zhuo.

The procession of dragging the corpse came to a halt at the entrance to the downtown area, where several soldiers untied the ropes tied to the corpse and carried the corpse to the open space.

Just as these soldiers had just placed the corpses and were about to go to get the wick, an official in civilian court uniform rushed out from behind the crowd with a howl, threw himself on Dong Zhuo's corpse, and cried loudly.

Dong Zhuo was already full of evil in the hearts of the subjects of Chang'an, and now someone would pounce on his corpse and cry loudly, not only the officers and soldiers who dragged Dong Zhuo's body were stunned by the official's behavior, but even the onlookers were stunned on the spot, looking at the officials who were lying on the corpse and crying loudly.

"Who is he?" Seeing this, Liu Wei, who was standing in the crowd and watching the excitement, whispered a question to Deng Zhan on the side.

Deng Zhan had never had much contact with the court officials, and he shook his head in confusion. A personal soldier on the side clasped his fists at this time and whispered to Liu Wei: "Your Highness Qiqi, this person is Zhonglang Cai Yong." ”

Liu Wei knew that Cai Yong was Cai Yan's father, but he just didn't expect that the first time he met this father-in-law would be in such a situation.

Wang Yun and others were committed to killing Dong Zhuo, and Liu Xie had already hated Dong Zhuo. Born as a civil official, Cai Yong has a unique arrogance of a literati, which does not mean that he is not good. But in front of the people of the city, he lay down on Dong Zhuo's corpse and wept in the downtown area, but he committed a big taboo, and he probably lost his life because of it.

Looking at Cai Yong, Liu Wei furrowed his brows slightly, he knew that Cai Yong's crying would definitely bring him a lot of trouble. If Liu Xie and Wang Yun wanted to kill Cai Yong, he would definitely not stand idly by, after all, Cai Yan was his wife.

Coming back to his senses from Cai Yong's weeping actions, the general raised his hand and waved it behind him, and immediately five or six soldiers stepped forward, dragged Cai Yong up, and pulled him aside.

was dragged away by the soldiers, Cai Yong was still crying loudly, the situation was very sad, but it made Liu Wei feel a little funny, such a tyrannical character as Dong Zhuo, there were people crying after death, it can be seen that Dong Zhuo was not particularly unsuccessful in the past.

Cai Yong was put down by several soldiers, and the general who led the team first glared at Cai Yong, who was dragged aside, then turned over and jumped off the war horse, arched his fists at the crowded people on the street, and shouted to the people: "Fathers and elders, you have moved here from Luoyang, left your hometown, and suffered endless suffering. Do you know who is the one who has displaced you? ”

The onlookers looked at the Han general who was talking one by one with round eyes, but no one dared to respond to his question. Dong Zhuo was killed today, and no one knows if the people who killed Dong Zhuo will be driven out of Chang'an by Dong Zhuo's men after tomorrow. Therefore, the street was full of people, but no one answered, and the scene was quiet and even a little embarrassing.

"Let me tell you, the one who made you suffer so much is this old thief Dong Zhuo!" Seeing that no one answered, the officer first pointed at Dong Zhuo's corpse, then clasped his hands into fists, arched towards the sky on the side, and shouted to the onlookers: "Fortunately, His Majesty and the King of Luoyang should join forces to lure Dong Zhuo into the palace and punish him!" Today, we are going to be here to vent our evil anger for our fathers and elders! ”

It may have been expected that the scene would fall into embarrassment, and the crowd was mixed with many officers and soldiers dressed in civilian uniforms, and as soon as the general's words fell, these people raised their arms and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!" The king of Luoyang is mighty! ”
