Han Dao world

After going out, Yang Biao grabbed Jia Xu. "Wenhe Liubu, are you busy today?"

Jia Xu smiled. "No matter how busy you are, it's not as busy as Situ."

Yang Biao said: "Since this is the case, the three of us will do a joint trip to discuss how to deal with the escape from overseas. I can take full responsibility, but I can't solve the problem independently."

Jia Xu nodded in agreement.

Zhou Zhong was a little embarrassed and followed silently.

The three of them walked side by side, chatting nonsense.Officials walked by from time to time, and they were somewhat surprised to see the three men walking side by side, and they all bowed and saluted.

Yang Biao suddenly laughed. "Twenty years ago, if the three lords were traveling together, I'm afraid the emperor would summon them within half a day."

Jia Xu smiled and said nothing.

Zhou Zhong was also a little emotional. "As Situ said, the Son of Heaven's magnanimity can be compared with that of Yao and Shun, and the revival of the Great Han Dynasty is bound to happen."

"We are fortunate to meet the prosperous age and treat the three lords. Although we can't follow suit, we can't set a bad example for future generations." Yang Biao said quietly: "It's just that the Yuan family is my Yang family's in-law, so I should avoid suspicion. I have to leave this matter to the two of you, and you must handle it well to satisfy everyone."

Zhou Zhong nodded again, but did not speak.

Jia Xu took up the conversation. "It's easy to satisfy the superior, just handle it impartially. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to satisfy the inferior. How to separate justice and personal feelings has always been the crux of Confucianism. Although Situ's first report comes from the highest public, it will inevitably be criticized in the future."

Yang Biao sighed. "Two evils are the lesser of two evils. Between public and private affairs, I can only choose this way. But these are trivial matters. What I am most worried about is the people behind Yuan Mai's mother and son. After many years of enlightenment, "Mencius" has been printed by tens of thousands of people all over the world. Ben, even Huangkou Xiaoer knows the truth of being born in sorrow and dying in peace, but few of them can really practice it, and there are still people who risk their families and exterminate their families and flee back to the Central Plains, I really didn't expect it."

"It's not so easy to change customs." Jia Xu said calmly. "The Son of Heaven often says that it takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to grow a man. There is no rush."

Zhou Zhong also echoed: "Yeah, Yuan Mai is young, what can he understand? The responsibility lies with Liu. In my opinion, let her be used as an example to make an example. After a long time, those people think that the law does not blame the public. Woolen cloth."

Yang Biao also said: "Yes, it should be soon rather than later."

Jia Xu shook his head. "I understand how you two feel, but you don't have to worry. In my opinion, there are at most some people from Yanyuqing and Xu Sizhou, and there will not be many people."

"How do you see it?" Zhou Zhong asked puzzled.

"After Yuan Benchu ​​was captured, there were not many Central Plains people who stayed in Jizhou, and those who were later exiled were mainly Jizhou people. Jizhou people are more hardworking, and most of them are in the army. They can have the opportunity to conquer overseas. They wish for it. How many will abscond and return to their hometowns at the risk of extermination?"

Yang Biao and Zhou Zhong glanced at each other and nodded in unison.

"Furthermore, apart from Bohai Sea, Jizhou arranges all young and strong ministers trusted by the emperor, who are smart and capable, unlike the officials in the Central Plains who are accustomed to being famous. If there is any trouble, it has already been heard by the emperor. Why wait until now ?”

Suddenly, Yang Biao raised his hand and patted his forehead, feeling mixed feelings.

No wonder Jia Xu was so calm, not only because he stayed out of the matter, but also because he already knew that the matter was not that serious, so there was no need to worry too much.

It's just that, the emperor has nothing to fear, and he has to take the opportunity to clean up.

-

Because the matter involved the Yuan family in Runan, Yang Biao had to avoid suspicion and handed over the handling power to Taiwei Jia Xu.

Sikong and Zhou Zhong can participate, but after all, he can only assist, not take the lead.In addition, Zhou Zhong himself had broken with Yuan Shao a long time ago, even when they met in battle, he had no interest in helping Yuan Shao cover it up.

The matter went smoothly, and two months later, just after the twelfth lunar month, Jia Xu submitted a report.

As he predicted at the beginning, almost all the people involved in the case were from Yanyuqing and Xusizhou, and the total number was limited, that is, a dozen households, but there were hundreds of people who helped them cover, including Runan prefect Zongcheng.

Zong Cheng was arrested by Han Sui a long time ago, but he refused to cooperate with the investigation, kept silent and did not provide any information.

Han Sui didn't dare to touch him easily, but he also refused to let him go. He was locked up all the time and no contact with outsiders was allowed.After the captain of Runan took over, he gave up resentfully.

Although the captain of Runan was not from Han Sui's old department, he was from Liangzhou.Knowing that Zong Cheng didn't take Han Sui seriously, Han Sui was upset, and he didn't let Zong Cheng go, so he made a special car and locked Zong Cheng inside. The body squats.

Before leaving Runan County, Zong Cheng was exhausted, and the rest of the journey was basically hanging by his neck on the carriage.

If it wasn't for the escort who didn't want him to die on the way, he couldn't have seen the gate of Wancheng alive.

Taiwei Mansion is in charge of the investigation, and Sikong Mansion is in charge of the interrogation, specifically executed by Tingwei Temple.Tingwei Xuanbo, who had always been relatively leisurely, suddenly became busy and couldn't contain his excitement. After receiving the imperial edict, he rushed to the imperial edict immediately.

He saw an old acquaintance: Guo Tu.

Guo Tu is the person in charge of resettling Yuan Mai's mother and son, so he cannot escape responsibility.Compared with a few years ago, he is a little less anxious, a little more calm, and looks a bit like an outsider.

But the moment he saw the announcement, his calmness disappeared.

Humiliation and anger came to my mind along with the memories, and my fair face instantly flushed red.

"You..." He stood up, his hands trembling.

Announcer grinned. "It's me, Guo Jun, are you safe?"

Looking at Xuanbo's smile, Guo Tu's whole body was cold and his face turned pale.He didn't want to talk anymore. When he met a person like Xuan Bo, begging for mercy was just to humiliate himself, and it was useless at all.

He sat down slowly, watching his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth.

Xuanbo waved his hand, ordered someone to open the cell door, walked in with his hands behind his back, and walked around Guo Tu twice. "Okay, don't pretend to be superior in front of me. I don't know the virtues of you party members. Do you really think of yourself as Li Yuanli and Fan Mengbo?"

Guo Tu's cheeks twitched for a while, regretting it too much, and his front teeth ached even more.

In the past few years, he has really lived in seclusion so comfortably, knowing nothing about the situation of the court, that he didn't even know that the scum of Xuan Broadcasting was actually a court lieutenant.If he had known this earlier, he would not have tied his hands and committed suicide directly would be the best choice.

"Speaking of it, this is fate." Xuanbo sighed: "You say that you party members are all saints. If you are poor, you will be alone; A person who can keep his words and deeds? So many people went overseas, but they couldn’t bear the pain, escaped after all kinds of hardships, and implicated so many people. What does this mean? It means that you are destined to be like this, you can escape for a while, but you can’t escape for a lifetime .”
