Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1322 He Is Your Bait
Overnight, the atmosphere in Yudu suddenly became tense.

Because of this night, there were four big families in Yudu who were led by Jing Wusi, the so-called Eagle Claw of Minghou, to ransack their homes directly.

Yudu is now the southwest capital of China.

With the development of this period of time, the status is getting higher and higher, and the economy is getting more and more prosperous. Local wealthy families and famous families will send people to Chongqing to establish a foothold and establish a family base.

Therefore, there are not many famous families in Yudu, and most of the aristocratic families in Southwest China and Jingxiang are gathered.

The atmosphere at the beginning may be a little tense.

But since Mu Jing's married the Jiangxia Huang's daughter, the stiff relationship between Minghou's mansion and the family's family members has gradually eased.

But overnight, four famous families were confiscated and sealed.

This action shocked everyone.

This is not a newly rising famous family, but an old big family, all of which have been based in Yudu for a period of time, including their head of the family and officials working in the Minghou Mansion, all were arrested together.

Most importantly, this is just the beginning.

the next few days.

Jing Wusi's soldiers and horses went out everywhere, arresting people from one state to another, and ransacking homes from county to county, and involved at least a dozen local wealthy families.

This made many people even more uneasy.

"What does Marquis Ming want to do?"

"Is this a killing spree?"

"Why are you arresting people?"

"Arresting people casually, isn't he afraid that everyone will turn against him?"

"Bajun Lu's family, that is a famous family for 200 years. If you say arrest people, you will arrest them. If you say you can seal the family, you will seal the family. All the mansions have been sealed, and everyone has been arrested in the Jingwu Prison. What do they want!"

"Who said no?"

"It's only been a few days of happy life, and I'm starting to toss again!"

"Why is this Marquis of Ming, who has just been conferred the title of King Ming, and the Ming Kingdom has not yet been established, so he is about to start a killing spree, isn't he a bit aggressive!"

"We have endured the New Deal for a while, he is so arrogant, will we still have a way out in the future!"

"By the way, Jiang Xia Huang Gong also married his daughter to him to ease the relationship between us. Now it seems that I'm afraid it's a sheep in a tiger's mouth!"

This wave stirred up huge waves, and the entire southwest was about to boil.

Several famous families and more than a dozen gentry and rich families were all involved. What a disturbance it was.

Of course, Mujing's life is not easy at this time.

…………

Minghou Mansion, Zhaoming Pavilion.

"Lu Gong, this matter is not as simple as you think. How can my Minghou Mansion ignore the law and arrest people casually? Now that they have been arrested, there must be evidence showing that they have violated Mingke's law. The so-called emperor broke the law. The common people are guilty of the same crime!"

"..."

"Old Le, how dare you bother you? Don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter. If the Leshan Xu family did not participate, I will never touch them!"

"..."

Today, Mu Jing met with more than ten scholars of the Confucian level, all of them are highly respected in the local area, not only scholars, but also local sages, who can make the local people have opinions on Mu Jing with a single sentence.

This is to ask the teacher to ask the crime.

After arresting so many people, they were all from aristocratic families, gentry and noble families.

Naturally someone will come forward.

Mu Jing had almost exhausted his saliva, and that was how he sent these people out of the Minghou Mansion.

"These old people, one by one, relying on the old to sell the old, talking in a strange way, threatening me openly and secretly, but it's really not easy!"

Mu Jing was eating tea with big gulps.

"They have studied all their lives, and they have countless disciples. They have the qualification to rely on their elders to sell their elders!" Cai Yong knelt beside Mu Jing. If he hadn't stood up for Mu Jing today, he might have entered the stage of fighting from literature to fighting. Mu Jing's move, no matter right or wrong, would arouse the resentment of the entire southwest scholar community, and the gain outweighed the loss.

Although he said that he looked down on the whole son-in-law for a long time, but when the juncture came, he was still hard-hearted and soft-hearted. In order to support his son-in-law, he personally went into battle and fought with these old guys a few times.

It can be regarded as directly suppressing this gust of wind.

But things are here, it may not be fun yet.

If public anger is aroused, these old guys stand up one by one, lobbying the people and opposing the Minghou Mansion, maybe there will be a tragic civil war, which will consume the strength of the Minghou Mansion, and may cause the Southwest to split.

"At this juncture, why did you suddenly remember that an internal investigation is necessary?" Cai Yong looked at Mu Jing and asked a little bit incomprehensibly.

Now in the midst of internal and external troubles.

Facing a big battle outside, it is not very convenient to move the herd army, but the battle is obviously tense, and even Changsha is almost lost, how tense the situation is.

In terms of internal troubles, the implementation of the New Deal has caused a lot of trouble, and the people are already uneasy. Now that such a disturbance suddenly occurs, it is hard to guarantee that people will not be caught in the pigtails, and the chaos will be turned upside down. Even if it is calmed down in the end, it will be a big trouble .

"Jing Wusi caught their pigtails!" Mu Jing gently explained on the other hand: "If it's just a small disturbance, I'm going to suppress it first, nothing can delay the establishment of the country, but after investigating, I found someone Conspiring in series to rebel against me on the day of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, if such a thing really happens, no matter if I succeed or fail, I will suffer a lot, so I can only act first, pick them out, and make it clear!"

Over the years, Jing Wusi's tentacles have become wider and wider, and he has already taken root in the Minghou Mansion. From the inside to the outside, the supervision is very strict.

It was originally just to monitor Liu Zhang.

After all, Liu Zhang can be regarded as Mujing's trump card. Like Yuan Shao, when facing Cao Cao's orthodox oppression, he can use it to resist.

So all along, nothing happened to him. Of course, people were still sent to watch him. After all, it was not the first time that this guy had shown hostility towards the Minghou Mansion.

It's right to think about it, if the Minghou Mansion hadn't captured Yizhou, maybe he would have become the king of Yizhou, how could he be reduced to a prisoner, and even his freedom of life was deprived.

Inadvertently learned some secrets from him, traced it down, and finally discovered this conspiracy plan.

Rebellion itself represents a kind of public opinion resistance.

The success is naturally the change of dynasty.

Even if it fails, if the scale is enlarged, it will also affect the rule of this regime.

Don't say far.

Just say the Yellow Turban Uprising.

The Yellow Turban Uprising of the great virtuous teacher swept across the eight states of the world, and how many people and tenants joined in. Even if it failed in the end, what was left to the Han Dynasty in the end was a mess that had been dragged down.

That's why Mujing chose to strike first.

In this case, at least the influence can be suppressed within the scope of one's control, and the founding of the country will not become a big joke.

"Liu Yannai is known as the Three Heroes of the royal family. He is a rare hero among the royal family. He has a unique vision. He has long known that the Han court has said that he can't hold on. He entered Yizhou alone, and he will take it alone. With Yizhou as the foundation, it has developed quietly, and it can be regarded as leaving some capital for his lineage!"

Cai Yong sighed: "Unfortunately, Liu Zhang is not up to par!"

This time, Liu Zhang might have to squander all of Liu Yan's legacy.

Suddenly, Cai Yong's eyes became a little sharp, and he stared at Mujing.

"What's wrong?" Mu Jing touched his nose, a little puzzled.

"You didn't do it on purpose!"

Cai Yong said quietly: "Liu Zhang is stared at by you, how many people can he contact to turn against you? He is not a fool. When he turned against you for the first time, he was easily disintegrated by you. Don't be careful, you shouldn't be connected to so many people from him!"

"how come!"

Mu Jing's pupils couldn't help but change a bit. This old man is worthy of being a veteran of several dynasties. He is not only well-educated, knowledgeable, and well-mannered. In the officialdom, he is also cunning through experience, especially his eyes. Something was wrong, let him see it.

"I am the majestic Marquis of Ming, and I will soon be the monarch of a country. How can I do such a dirty thing!"

In order to get rid of his suspicion, Mu Jing said in a dignified manner.

"The more you say that, the more suspicious I become!" Cai Yong snorted coldly, and said, "I don't know you yet. You're a little fox, and you're very cunning. I've seen many courtiers when I asked myself. Chengfu is not as gloomy as you little fox!"

"Father, I'm your son-in-law. If I ask myself how to be upright and upright, why am I so gloomy?" Mu Jing retorted directly without anger.

"Stop pretending in front of me!"

Cai Yong has now confirmed that this is a big drama directed by Mu Jing, but he still doesn't understand some things, so he became curious, so he asked, "Just tell me, what about Liu Zhang, who was caught by you?" The one who was guided to do this is still yours!"

Mu Jing smiled wryly, old man Cai is old and immortal, he really can't be underestimated, a little bit of clues made him push things back by seven or eight points.

The words have already been said, and it is meaningless to lie in front of old man Cai at this time.

Maybe it will deepen the misunderstanding between each other.

Old man Cai is so arrogant and arrogant. If he thinks that he doesn't trust him, maybe he will just resign and leave in a fit of anger, then the loss outweighs the gain.

The Southwest regime at this stage cannot do without the support of people like Old Man Cai. His reputation alone can already support the entire class of scholars in the Minghou Mansion.

"Liu Jiyu is not stupid!"

Mu Jing had no choice but to analyze it, and said softly: "He has turned against me once, and he already knows the seriousness. Will he do it a second time to seek his own death? This person is not that kind of person in character. A tough person, a little cowardly, knowing that there is no hope, in order to survive, he can only find another way out!"

"So, he has taken refuge in you?"

It was one thing for Cai Yong to guess, but it was another thing to be confirmed. He couldn't help but gasped: "When did that happen?"

"After returning from the battle in Nanzhong!"

Mu Jing didn't refute, but replied naturally: "After the first rebellion failed!"

"So from then on, everything he did was at your command, and his expression of hatred for you was also for all of us to see, and your purpose is to see, who will turn against you, As long as someone turns against you, you will definitely contact him, and then you can use him to dig out everyone. It's a good way, no..."

Cai Yong is not only a great Confucianist, a great sage respected by scholars, he is also a veteran of several dynasties, and his thinking is not bad at all.

In an instant, the matter was speculated in all directions.

It also made him think of a frightening thing.

"Your goal at the beginning was not these aristocratic families, gentry and wealthy families. Before you implemented the New Deal, these people would not have much hostility towards you at all, because no matter who comes to power, they will be safe and sound!"

Cai Yong's pupils became bulging, and he stared at Mujing firmly: "You let out Liu Zhang's pawn, and the first one to lure is me, right?"

Liu Zhang had connections with the imperial court.

If he has contact with the imperial court, he will definitely assist Liu Zhang.

If only he never changed.

Still devoted to the Han Dynasty.

Then, he might have directly crashed into Mu Jing's trap.

"Father thinks too much, I haven't thought about it like this!"

Mu Jing firmly refused to admit this matter, even if he did it, he would never admit it in the slightest. He changed the subject and said: "At first I just wanted to let him give the court some advice. My goal is the emperor. A gloomy person like Liu Xie will definitely stare at me very much. There are not many legacy left by the Han Dynasty. It is impossible to do big things, but some small things are still done for him. Maybe it will be in my life I buried a few shadows in my body to protect myself!"

"Humph!"

Cai Yong sneered, now he can definitely believe that Liu Zhang's chess piece was used by Mu Jing to defend him, but it was useless.

Mujing really can't be underestimated, he is young, but his mind is deep, which he has never seen in the past few years.

Of course, he couldn't blame Mujing either.

At the beginning, his heart was indeed for the Han Dynasty, and Mu Jing was on his guard, that's right.

It's just that it's a little uncomfortable after all.

Aside from the current relationship between the monarch and his ministers, this son-in-law treats his father-in-law as if he was guarding against thieves.

It’s okay to be unhappy, it’s not a matter of getting mad now, I can only take a small notebook and write it down first, there is always a chance to clean him up.

"Then what are you going to do now?" Cai Yong asked: "You kill all these people. I'm afraid that the hearts of the princes will be scattered before the kingdom is established!"

At present, the Southwest still cannot do without the support of aristocratic families, gentry and wealthy families.

Even if Mu Jing invests heavily in education, he not only sets up institutions of higher learning in various places, but also establishes a county institution of higher learning in every county, continuously cultivating scholars and future officials.

But it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to grow people.

How can it be so easy to educate a qualified official?
