Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 99
Immediately afterwards, there was a hasty knock on the door.

Ba Zhi hurried out, there was only one attendant in his house, and that attendant was also old and deaf, Ba Zhi went out to open the door himself, there were three or four people outside, with one hand leading a horse, the other holding a torch, all However, he was dressed as a postman, and the leader looked at Ba Zhi in front of him, frowned, and said, "Please tell me, there is an urgent report to Ba Zhi, the governor."

Bazhi was not angry, he cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I am Bazhi."

The postman was a little surprised, looked at his attire, and then hurriedly bowed down and said, "I don't know how to make you face to face, please forgive me!"

Ba Zhi shook his head, pushed the door open, and wanted to welcome the postmen to enter. How could the postmen dare to accept it, so he immediately took out the court rush and handed it to Ba Zhi, the governor, and said goodbye again. Ba Zhi took this The decree, my friend saw that he had something important to do, so he didn't dare to bother him anymore, and he also left. He took the decree, entered the mansion, sat in the study, found half a candle from somewhere, and started to light up and read. .

After reading it for a while, Ba Zhi turned pale, and immediately changed his clothes, went to the governor's mansion, ordered the night guard to call the long history, and hurriedly summoned the officials in the state. Many officials were still asleep in the mansion. Knowing that the governor has always been prudent, and such an urgent call, fearing that something serious happened, they all went to the government office.

Seeing everyone gathered, Ba Zhi frowned, and said solemnly: "The Mi family in the East China Sea distorts the imperial decree, oppresses the people, buys good farmland by force, and rewards the embroidered messenger Yang Qiu for murder. The emperor is furious and wants us to arrest Mi." family, as well as the big and small officials involved in the case, even Zhao Qian, wants me to arrest him!" Hearing this, the faces of the officials changed drastically.

Some were angry, some were frightened, and some were suspicious.

Ba Zhi continued: "I know that some of you are aware of this matter, or are involved in this matter. I hope you can confess your crimes yourself. Today, the Son of Heaven is a benevolent king. If you confess your sins early and obey the law, then I will plead for you, Son of Heaven." I will forgive you, but if you refuse to plead guilty and I find out again, I will not be able to protect you."

Hearing Ba Zhi's words, several officials immediately got up and bowed, "I was deceived by Mi Shun, and I hope you will forgive me!"

Ba Zhi nodded, ordered these people to be tied up, and immediately ordered his subordinates to supervise the thieves, summon the soldiers of Xuzhou County, and go to the East China Sea. Originally, Ba Zhi did not have such powers. Now there is an edict from the emperor, and everyone can only obey it. In the middle of the night, the subordinate governor summoned the county soldiers, and what is interesting is that the seat of Donghai County is located in Tan County.

The Xuzhou government is also located in Tan County.

The governor's mansion and the prefect's mansion are both in the same county, so these county soldiers didn't even need to march outside, they just rushed into the prefect's mansion. Zhao Qian was sleeping soundly, so he was directly broken into the mansion. Anyone who dared to resist was killed. Zhao Qian woke up, opened his eyes, and saw several soldiers holding swords across his neck.

"You guys want to rebel?!!"

"Aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish your clan?"

There was no fear on Zhao Qian's face, he just yelled at the soldiers angrily. The soldiers hesitated, looking at the prefect in front of him, Zhao Qian was furious, got up suddenly, grabbed a soldier's knife, and started fighting with them At this moment, Ba Zhi walked in slowly, and when he saw Ba Zhi entering, the soldiers quickly retreated to his side.

Zhao Qian said angrily: "What does Ba Zhishi want to do?!" Ba Zhi didn't speak, took out the Emperor's Edict from his sleeve, and handed it to Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian just looked at it for a moment, his eyes darkened, almost When he fell to the ground, he looked at the edict, his eyes were about to burst, he looked at Ba Zhi, and asked, "Why didn't I know about this?" Ba Zhi shook his head and said, "Yang Qiu originally wanted to inform you, You declined."

"Ah~~", Zhao Qian roared angrily, he remembered that day, when the notorious eagle dog Yang Qiu wanted to see him, he refused sharply, so it was because of this, Mi Shun!Chen Yu!Humiliate my name!Zhao Qian's eyes were red. He has always healed himself and loved the people like a son. He has never been stigmatized in the past ten years, and he has never lost face to his grandfather Zhao Jie or uncle Zhao Dian!

Zhao Qian raised the long knife in his hand, Ba Zhi's complexion changed drastically, and he stepped forward to block it, Zhao Qian was extremely fast, and suddenly aimed the long knife at his abdomen, stabbing it directly, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, Ba Zhi rushed to his chest Beside him, supported him, and said with some resentment: "Why are you doing this, you don't know about this matter, the emperor is just scolding you at most!"

"Jingzu, kill Mi Shun for me, county magistrate Chen Yu!"

Zhao Qian's eyes widened, and he said tremblingly, after finishing speaking, he died.

When many senior officials of the prefect heard that Zhao Qian committed suicide and apologized, none of them wept bitterly, but went home separately, Ba Zhi was ashamed of it, but after they returned home, they bid farewell to their relatives and wives and reunited with the prefect's mansion , 13 people, committed suicide one after another and left with Zhao Qian. When Ba Zhi heard about it, he hurried to the front of the mansion, but he saw a dozen people lying in a pool of blood, and none of them fled in fear.

Ba Zhi cried loudly and said, "How can you kill many righteous people in one day?"

The grief-stricken Donghai County soldier went to Qu County angrily.

The county magistrate Chen Yu, who was sleeping soundly, was arrested by the soldiers and beat him up. Chen Yu couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by hitting the wall.

After that, it was the Mi family.

Mi Shun, the head of the family, was reading at night while lighting the lamps in the mansion. Suddenly, a servant reported that the county magistrate Chen Yu came to see him. Mi Shun was shocked, thinking that there was something important, so he got up immediately, changed his clothes, and drove to the gate with a few people. The servants immediately opened the door, and Mi Shun was about to go forward to salute, when he saw countless soldiers suddenly appearing outside the door, rushing in, armed with swords, subdued Mi Shun, many servants resisted, and were all killed!

Mi Shun was shocked, and looked up into the distance, Ba Zhi walked in slowly, staring at Mi Shun in front of him with an angry look on his face, Mi Shun exclaimed: "I don't know why I offended you, but I hope to tell you! ", Ba Zhi looked at him coldly, then looked at the luxurious decorations around him, and said with a sneer, "How can you force me to kill ten righteous men?!"

"You are wronged, I have always been loyal and good, and have never done evil, let alone dare to kill!" Mi Shun shouted with wide eyes.

But Ba Zhi didn't listen to his excuse, and directly ordered to arrest everyone in the Mi family. Anyone who dared to resist would be killed without mercy. However, things didn't go very smoothly. Fighting with the mansion, he did not lose the wind. Seeing this situation, Ba Zhi was even more angry, and his eyes towards Mi Shun became colder and colder.

Mi Shun hurriedly shouted: "Don't resist! There must be some misunderstanding here, everyone, surrender to me!", and made several servants shout, and the servants and the mansion shouted, those servants just dropped their weapons , Surrendered one after another, Mi Shun trembled all over, and he probably understood the reason in his heart, but he didn't expect that this matter, which he had covered up so secretly, would still leak out.

Even if the Son of Heaven finds out about this matter, it is only his own death, and the Mi family suffered heavy losses, which is not enough to destroy the family.

Sending out the Northern and Southern Army, the whole family of the Mi family, can they still survive?
