Chapter 338: What a crime
The assassination of Hua Xiong is not trivial.
Ma Teng searched the palace again, but could not find the eunuch.
Afterwards, Guo Jia reported the matter at the court meeting and demanded that the culprit be traced and severely punished!
After Yang Xiu and the others heard this, their expressions were a little unnatural.
After a while, the matter slowly faded away.
On this day, Hua Xiong took Zhou Cang out of the mansion and was about to go to the command post to learn about the latest political affairs.
As soon as he stepped out of the gate, a beggar not far away got up from the ground and ran towards him.
"King Wei! King Wei! ”
The guards behind Hua Xiong immediately stepped forward and raised the long sword in his hand,
"Go back!"
"I want to see King Wei, I have something to say to King Wei!"
The beggar shouted hoarsely.
Hua Xiong was stunned and looked at the beggar.
I saw that although he was ragged and unkempt, his eyes were extremely eager.
"Let him come."
Hua Xiong beckoned.
The guards moved out of the way, and the beggar ran over and saluted Hua Xiong.
"The grass people meet the King of Wei!"
"What do you want to say to me?"
Hua Xiong asked.
"Caomin implores King Wei to correct my son's name!"
The beggar said, kneeling.
Hua Xiong was stunned, helped him up, and said softly,
"Who is your son?"
"Back to the King of Wei, the son of the grass people was once a member of the wolf army, but unfortunately died on the battlefield.
According to the decree you issued, the grass people's family, as the families of the martyrs, can be exempted from paying taxes.
But when the grass people came to Luoyang City to go through the formalities, they were asked to show their documents.
The poor grass man's son died early, and there were no relevant documents at all, so the grass man was blasted out.
In order to correct my son's name, the grass people have been wandering in Luoyang City for more than a month. ”
The beggar cried.
Hua Xiong frowned, and said softly,
"Old man, what's your son's name?"
"My son's name is Jiang Shan."
Hua Xiong turned his head, "Call Gao Shun over!" ”
"Yes, my lord."
One of the guards walked away quickly.
After a while, Gao Shun rode his horse and galloped.
"Lord!"
He turned over and dismounted, and saluted Hua Xiong.
"Is there a wolf sergeant in the stroke called Jiangshan?"
Hua Xiong asked.
The wolf army can be said to have been trained by Gao Shun, and he is clear about the internal situation.
Sure enough, after listening to Hua Xiong's words, Gao Shun groaned slightly, and then replied,
"There is a squad leader named Jiang Shan, who died on the battlefield when he fought with the lord in Nanyang County."
Hua Xiong nodded, turned around and held the beggar's hand, and said sincerely,
"Old man, we didn't do this well."
As soon as he heard this, Father Jiang's tears flowed down the ground,
"King Wei is serious, Caomin just wants to return his son's status as a martyr."
"Don't worry, this matter is on me!"
Hua Xiong nodded heavily.
"Gao Shun, who is in charge of these things now?"
Gao Shun hesitated for a moment and said,
"It is said that Yang Xiu, the chief bookkeeper, is in charge."
Hua Xiong sneered.
Okay, I was worried that I didn't know how to clean you up, so I took the initiative to send it to the door.
This is really a way to heaven that you don't take, and hell has no door you want to break into.
Look how I clean you up today!
Hua Xiong fixed his mind and said to Jiang's father,
"Old man, I'll help you get on the horse and take you to the formalities!"
"This can't be helped, how dare the grass people let King Wei help me get on the horse?"
Father Jiang hurriedly waved his hand.
"Your son Jiangshan sacrificed heroically in order to defend the Han Dynasty, what is it for me to help you get on the horse?"
Huaxiong is colorful.
Saying that, he insisted on helping Father Jiang on the back of the horse and personally leading the horse and whipping him in person.
Father Jiang on horseback was in tears.
Hua Xiong led the horse and took Jiang's father all the way to the official office.
Gao Shun, Zhou Cang and others followed.
There were quite a few officers at the entrance of the official office, waiting in line to go through the formalities.
Seeing Hua Xiong's arrival, they stepped forward one after another to salute.
"King Wei!"
"King Wei!"
They looked at Father Jiang's gaze, and they were all a little curious.
Who is this old man, who is sacred, and can actually let Hua Xiong personally lead the horse and carry the whip.
Hua Xiong beckoned and asked Gao Shun to go in and call Yang Xiu out.
After a while, Yang Xiu hurriedly walked out with officials of all sizes.
"I don't know what King Wei commands?"
Yang Xiu frowned and asked lightly.
"Let me ask you, the son of this old man was a wolf sergeant, and died heroically on the battlefield.
He came to handle the formalities for the families of the martyrs, why didn't you handle them? ”
Hua Xiong asked sharply.
As soon as they heard this, the soldiers gathered next to them were in an uproar.
As warriors, they hated this kind of thing, and their eyes at Yang Xiu were full of anger.
Seeing Hua Xiong and the surrounding crowd so angry, Yang Xiu's heart sank.
Although he was dissatisfied with Hua Xiong in the past, he rarely showed it, and he would not let Hua Xiong easily seize the handle.
But when Jiang's father came to go through the formalities, it coincided with Huaxiong leading troops to conquer Wuhuan in the north.
Yang Xiu noticed that Jiangshan, the son of Jiang's father, was a soldier of the wolf army of Huaxiong's lineage, so he was a little arrogant.
But I don't want to be caught by Hua Xiong today.
His eyes rolled, and he had an idea in an instant.
"King Wei, the army of the imperial court has undergone a major reform, and now it has been divided into five major military regions.
Much of the previous information is no longer available.
This old man has no documents, how can the lower officials help him handle it? ”
Yang Xiuzhen argued eloquently.
"There seems to be some truth to what he said."
"Yes, if you don't have a document, you can't handle it."
There was a lot of talk around them.
Seeing that public opinion began to tilt towards his side, Yang Xiu couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth,
Looking at Hua Xiong's eyes, there was also a hint of provocation.
Seeing this, Hua Xiong smiled coldly.
It's quite sharp-toothed, but Lao Tzu has cleaned you up today, and Jesus can't keep you!
"Yang Xiu, what you said is not bad at all, you can't handle it without a certificate.
But have I ever issued a clear rule that I must fully cooperate with the families of the martyrs who come to go through the formalities!
You didn't cooperate well, and even kicked him out, leaving the hero father on the streets.
What are you guilty of?! ”
Hua Xiong questioned sharply, and his words were loud.
There was a dead silence all around.
Yang Xiu opened his mouth, cold sweat broke out, he only felt that his heart was in chaos, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Someone came, stripped Yang Xiu's clothes, and lashed for thirty years in public, in order to respect the spirit of the hero in the sky!"
Hua Xiong commanded in a loud voice.
Zhou Cang, with a few guards, stepped forward in person and held down Yang Xiu's two arms.
"I'm an official of the imperial court, you can't lynch me!"
Yang Xiu was anxious and shouted loudly.
If he is stripped naked and executed in public, where will he have face in the future?
But his struggle is not worth mentioning in front of Zhou Cang and others, who are like wolves.
