Chapter 59 Serious

Liu Pan is the eldest son of the Han Dynasty, and he is also a famous scholar. He hates the local tyrants like the Qu family who only rely on force and do not cultivate culture.

They raise tribes in the local area, collect their lives, use violence to oppress the good, enslave the small people, and disrupt the order of the village. Economically, they forcibly monopolize the commodity trade, and rely on their power to annex land, and even expel local officials. To the people of Changsha, soldiers attacking and killing prefectures and counties are no different from wolves, tigers and leopards.

In fact, as long as it is a local big family, there will be such problems more or less, and the Liu family of Longqiu is certainly not a "white lotus".

The reason why their reputation did not stink like that of the Ou Clan is because the Liu Clan in Longqiu has been Confucianized, and their martial qualities have weakened.

Secondly, it has to do with the identity of the Han family clan. The emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty has always both wooed and suppressed the local clan. When disputes occurred between the clan and the people, the emperor often stood by the people, and sometimes even encouraged the people to fight against the clan.Under such a big environment, it is unavoidable for the local clan not to act in a low-key manner.

Liu Jing said: "The Qu family is the surname of a noble in the county, and his children and guests have always been violent, and among them, Qu Xiong is the most. Qu Xiong is self-indulgent, taking the frivolous young people in the county for his own use, fishing and eating in the village, and doing harm to one side."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing looked at Liu Pan with piercing eyes, and then asserted: "If no restrictions are imposed, Ou Xiong may become the second Ou Xing in the future."

"This is also my worry." Liu Pan stroked his thick long beard and said, "However, when the Fujun arrived in Changsha at the beginning of the year, the Qu family was the first group of big families to stand up and support the Fujun. He has also contributed a lot, the governor of the government has always treated the scholars with leniency and peace, unless Qu Xiong rebelled, otherwise there would never be a negative Ou Clan."

Liu Jing suddenly realized, and thought: "I said why the Ou family is so arrogant and domineering, and the officials never dare to intervene in the county. It turns out that there is something to rely on."

Liu Pan said again: "Zhong Da, with Ou Xiong's arrogant and fierce character, I'm afraid this matter will not end hastily, and there will be waves in the future."

Liu Jing nodded when he heard the words, which he had already expected.

Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover.He has "fame" to protect his body, he is invincible innately, he has city officials to obey orders inside, and Liu Zong to help him outside, so he doesn't believe that Ou Xiong can shake the world.

When he came out of his clan brother Liu Pan's house, the sun had already disappeared into the sky, and Liu Jing walked briskly towards his home.

On the way, a dilapidated official house caught his attention. The owner of the house was a young man with a thin body and old-fashioned features. He knew this person, but he was a serious city warden.

Liu Jing was very impressed with the seriousness. He remembered that once when he went to the book store, only this son and Liu Yu were not attached to him. I have never stepped forward to pay respects, so it can only be said to be a matter of emotional intelligence.

At this time, he was collecting wormwood to dry in the yard.

Today, if there is no quilt in a poor family, the wormwood is usually dried and bundled as a quilt. This is obviously the case with seriousness.

Wardens, including city wardens, are places with a lot of "oil and water" in various departments of the county government.

Don't you hear the meaning of "Spring and Autumn": "The original situation is determined, and the forgiveness is the punishment."

Since Dong Zhongshu Chang's "conviction by heart", he has ignored the established laws and opened the door for criminals. Whether there is a crime or not depends on one's mouth.

This led to extremely serious consequences. It is said in "Hanshu·Criminal Law": "Today's prison officials drive each other up and down, and engraving is the clearest. Those who are deep or have fame, and those who are ordinary have more troubles." This is the reason.

Even if the prison guards insist on integrity and don't coerce innocent people or frame people, there will be no shortage of "extra money". It's really embarrassing to be so serious that you go to sleep at night and cover the wormwood.

Only those who have been officials and held power know how difficult this kind of persistence is, and Liu Jing couldn't help but feel a surge of respect in his heart.

At this time, Serious also saw Liu Jing passing by outside the house. He saluted from a distance, then picked up the bundle of wormwood, and turned back into the house.

"..." Liu Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was "Liu Zhongda".

However, Liu Jing was not angry about this, but became more interested in seriousness. If he can convince this kind of "no oil and salt" people, I believe it will be very fulfilling.

When Liu Jing returned home, he started to light the fire for cooking. After burning the fire for more than 20 days, he gradually became angry.

In the Han Dynasty, only "officials" were allowed to live in official houses with their family members, while "officials" could only live in official houses alone. Liu Jing thought this regulation was too inhumane. If he came to power in the future, he would definitely abolish this rule and let officials and their families reunion.

All the fish in the house had been eaten, and he was planning to go to Liu Liang's place to get some fresh fish today, but things happened one after another, so he didn't take care of it.

With limited ingredients, Liu Jing picked them up and copied a plate of leek eggs to satisfy his hunger.

Rereading "Historical Records" at night, I have nothing to say all night.

The next day, the city building was loose outside and inside tight, and the city officials were waiting in line, but they waited and waited, but Ou Xiong never showed up. Instead, it was his family's prison slave who ran around the city all day.

He first won the forgiveness of the owner of the restaurant by coercion and inducement, as everyone knows.Then he brought a lot of money to bribe Cao officials and city jailers, and successfully rescued seven Jiaozhou people that evening.

When Huang Qiu and Xie Liang heard the news, they breathed a sigh of relief. Those Jiaozhou people were no different from "plague gods" in their eyes. Does the Ou's choice of such a "gentle" method indicate that the matter will come to an end? ...

…………

In the evening on the Xiangjiang River, the setting sun is slanting, and the mountains in the distance are covered with colorful clothes of sunset.

"Boom..." Amidst the thunderous sound of horseshoes, a horse team came from afar. This team consisted of more than [-] knights.The knights are dressed in uniform black clothes, bows and arrows on their backs, and knives and halberds.The horses under him are also quite handsome, with a body height of about six feet, strong limbs, and fast running.

Surrounded by the knights is a short, fierce-looking man. Who else is not the famous Changsha hero Qu Xiong?

He went out for two days this time to rescue Wang Yin and others, who were sentenced to be forced to clamp the city. Ou Xiong found out the news in advance and set up an ambush on the road one step ahead of time. He led the crowd to kill all the officials in Changsha .

Wang Yin and others were temporarily arranged by him to go to Jiaozhou and join their clan brother District Jing.

Qu Jing is now the highest official in the Qu clan, and he holds the post of Colonel Bi Erqianshi.

Although the position is not high, but because the Qu family has run Jiaozhou for many years and Qu Jing has a large army, he has a great influence. Even Zhu Fu, the governor of Jiaozhou, relies heavily on him.

Ou Xiong rushed all the way back to Ou's Wubao, and saw his prison slave waiting at the gate tower.

Ou Xiong reined in his horse in front of the prison slave, saw that he was nervous and seemed to have something to do, raised his whip and said, "What happened again? Huh?!"
