Chapter 28: Brutality

Cao Zhi in the distance saw this scene, and he suddenly became as well-behaved as the generals around him.

When Hu Zun beckoned to him, he was like the general just now, running in small steps, and ran to Hu Zun's side respectfully.

"Thank you, General, for saving your life."

"Don't talk nonsense!!"

"This guy has a grudge against the Liu family?"

"Xiao Wang doesn't know, maybe so."

"The one who came to kill you, do you recognize it?"

"I don't recognize"

"I don't know anything, how can I be a king?! Get back! ”

"Yui!!"

Cao Zhi was extremely honest, he didn't have the perverse appearance of Fang Cai at all, he returned to his original position very obediently, and looked at Hu Zun in the distance honestly with the generals on the side, looking extremely well-behaved.

Hu Zun ordered the soldiers to stand guard everywhere, lighting torches, and making the entire palace extremely bright.

The palace was as bright as day at the moment, and the soldiers in the distance were still coming in and out, and Hu Zun looked at this scene coldly.

Gong Shahong was kneeling beside him at the moment, he was tied with his backhand, and his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Hu Zun.

He wanted to say something cruel, but when he saw Hu Zun's appearance of five big and three rough, he didn't dare to speak.

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance.

I could vaguely hear the cries of some people, and soon, a group of people appeared in front of Hu Zun.

Among these people, there are old and young, most of them are even dressed in obscene clothes, and they are not in good shape, and the soldiers escort them, and the person at the head is Liu Jie.

Although Liu Jiao was treated so rudely by the soldiers, there was no anger on his face.

But when he went into the courtyard and saw the man lying on the ground, he was furious.

He looked sharply at Gong Shahong, who was kneeling not far away.

"You dog thief!! Ann dares to hurt me?! ”

Hu Zun suddenly raised his head and looked at him.

"Shut up."

Hu Zun's words were very rude.

But Liu Jiao immediately closed his mouth.

Hu Zun's reputation is very bad in Qingxu and Xu.

Hu Zun is also from a big family, but few big families really look up to him, after all, he is a big family outside the Saiwai family, and he has a family tradition, but there is still a gap with the rest of the big clans.

Hu Zun also failed to find a good marriage partner for his children, in order to suppress the rest of the big clans, the Sima family actively intermarried with these Biansai clans, of course, they basically intermarried with anyone, Hu Zun reluctantly squeezed into the Central Plains clan circle through marriage with the Sima family.

But Hu Zun still didn't restrain his character, and he was as good as ever.

In other families, children who like to learn scriptures will be rewarded, but in the Lao Hu family, children who don't like to fight wars and like classics will eat slaps.

Hu Zun was very contemptuous of these big clans, and Liu Jiao didn't dare to talk back to him.

Because Liu Jiao was not sure if he could withstand his slap.

Don't think that you are old, you won't be beaten when you're old, and no one knows what this guy can do.

Hu Zun pointed to the person on the ground and asked, "Do you know him?" ”

"Acquaintance."

"Whose son?"

"My family."

"What for?"

"Serving as the commander under Gong Shahong."

"Why are you here?"

"In order to kill the king of Jibei."

The two asked and answered, and Liu Jiao had no intention of hiding it at all.

In Gong Shahong's frightened eyes, Liu Jiao said seriously: "There were some disputes between the ministers and the king of Jibei before. ”

"The king of Jibei wants to buy a good field, but this good land is my family's and is cultivated by tenants, and we are not willing to sell it, so the king of Jibei will make trouble."

"I don't care about that, I ask you why this person is here?!"

Hu Zun interrupted Liu Jie very unhappily and pointed to the dead body on the ground.

Liu Jiao had no choice but to say: "Gong Shahong seized the public land of the temple and sold the public land to others, and the cultivated land that the king of Jibei looked at was the original public land!" Gong Shahong was worried that the matter would leak out, so he wanted to use my family's people to kill the king of Jibei."

Hu Zun laughed, and he looked at Gong Shahong on the side.

"Stupid, if you kill him, don't you want to find out to the end?"

Gong Shahong gritted his teeth at the moment, he stared at Liu Jiao, and said, "General!! He asked me to sell it to him! A lot of the farmland under his name is the original public land!! ”

"None of his family's cultivated land is his own, but it is all the public land of the temple!!

Watching the two bite each other, Hu Zun didn't have the idea of interrupting them, he just looked at it with a smile, as if waiting for them to say more things.

Liu Jiao was not in a hurry at all.

There are many people who buy public land, and everyone can prove that when they bought the farmland, whether it was a title deed or something else, it proved that it was not public land, that they bought it without knowing it, and that they bought it from the peasants, and that they did not even have any money with Gong Shahong.

And the only one who sold the public land was Gong Shahong.

That's why after Cao Zhi was arrested, Gong Shahong was so scared, but Liu Jiao didn't care at all.

The crime committed by Liu Jiao is to confiscate the cultivated land, and the crime of Gong Shahong is to confiscate the three clans.

Selling the public land of the temple is a death sentence under the law.

Why is this so? Because this public land belongs to the emperor, this is the theft of the emperor's property, which is a great disrespect and can even be regarded as disobedience.

The son stole his father's things, but he was going to be killed.

What's more, Gong Shahong has stolen a lot of things over the years, which is enough to confiscate the three clans he was born illegally.

Gong Shahong is still pouring dirty water on Liu Jiao.

Liu Jiao was not in a hurry at all, just silent.

After a while, Hu Zun also felt bored, so he ordered the two to be taken away.

Hu Zun walked into the study at this time, and Cao Zhi stood aside.

Hu Zun said to him: "The reason why I came here is because I received an edict from Your Majesty, and Your Majesty quickly sent someone to inform me that I should watch the king more and let the king be protected from being bullied by officials." ”

"Your Majesty thought that the officials and the big clan would join forces to bully the king, hahaha, Your Majesty was wrong, they wanted to kill the king directly."

Cao Zhi also felt angry at this moment, "I will definitely tell Your Majesty the truth!" ”

Hu Zun said: "These two people, if they are just corrupt and pervert the law, I can still deal with them myself, but now that they are involved in the murder of the princes and kings, then I can't control it, I have to let the temple send people, just right, Your Majesty said that Zongzheng Cao Yan is coming." ”

"You can leave your affairs to him to deal with."

"I can't control this murder, but this is the sale of public land."

Hu Zun couldn't help but shake his head, "Even these traitors are helping me, this kind of thing, I really don't know how many things there are, these days, you just stay here, don't go out!" ”

"I'll let people watch you until Cao Yan arrives."

Hu Zun said a few words, and then looked at the generals on the side.

"This King of Jibei will be taken care of by you, but if something goes wrong, I have to drag you to death!"

"Yui!!"

The general hurriedly saluted.

Hu Zun walked out of the study quickly, and halfway through, he suddenly remembered something, walked back again, and snatched the bow from the general's body, "You don't need this thing, throw the stone back!" ”

Grabbing his bow, he walked out quickly.

Cao Zhi looked at the bow, it didn't look like an ordinary strong bow, it seemed to be inlaid with jewels.

The young man let out a long sigh.

"It's a pity for my family heirloom."

Cao Zhi saw Hu Zun leave like this, and suddenly couldn't help it, "Family heirloom treasure bow?? Even if it's General Hu, he can't rob his subordinates of their family heirlooms, right? ”

"Or is it for you?"

The young general shook his head, "I'm afraid I won't give it to me again." ”

Cao Zhi was a little angry, "Just because I didn't shoot accurately in the night??" Why is General Hu so arrogant? ”

"Don't worry, when the people from the temple come, I will go to see General Hu again, how can you do this? No matter how great the kindness is, it shouldn't be like this! ”

The young descendant looked at Cao Zhi with some gratitude.

"Thank you, King!"

"It's okay, you're welcome, what do you call you?"

"In Xia Hulie, meet the king."

"Hu Lie??"

"General Nahu is"

"It's my father!"

"Oh~~~"

Cao Yan was sitting in the carriage at the moment, and he was walking towards Jibei leisurely.

He quietly glanced at the person on the side, the person sat straight, he didn't seem to have changed his posture along the way, he looked at himself very seriously, and the atmosphere was quite embarrassing.

This person is Guo Zhi.

Cao Yan didn't expect that His Majesty would send all the scattered horsemen around him to monitor this matter.

Although His Majesty said that he wanted Guo Zhi to assist, Cao Yan didn't know where this person was here to stare at him.

If you come into contact with someone you shouldn't have in private and ask for something you shouldn't want, then it is estimated that your name will be added to this year's Autumn Queen's list.

Cao Yan cleared his throat and said, "Guo Jun, I have some old friends in Jibei, if they come to visit, I won't see them in detail."

Guo Zhi looked at him and replied calmly: "Gong Cao doesn't have to worry, Your Majesty didn't send me here because he didn't trust you. ”

"I used to serve as an auxiliary commander by His Majesty's side, so I also know a little about the affairs of the local princes, and when I set out, Your Majesty instructed me not to interfere with your affairs, and let me appease the King of Jibei, so that he will not be deceived by villains."

Cao Yan didn't believe in these words very much, but he was a lot more relieved.

And when the carriage stopped, he didn't go out, but asked curiously, "Who is coming to meet me?!" ”

"He's a hussar general."

"Ah???h

Cao Yan was shocked and hurriedly walked out of the carriage.

In the distance, it was a group of troops blocking the road, Hu Zun was riding a war horse, just in the middle of the road, and when he saw Cao Yan, his face was very ugly.

"Husband, why is it so slow?! I'm done arresting all of them, just those two, just because of you, I can't deal with it until now!! ”

"General, this road is far away, and it is not in time"

"Don't say these words, come with me and deal with those two traitors!!"
