I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 86 The old man is tall and tough!

"Uncle is cheating again?" Seeing Old Dong swinging the wooden slip in his hand, Cai Yan suddenly felt an indescribable...excitement for some reason!
It's not that she gloated at the people who were cheated, but after she was convinced that Lao Dong was a ruler who truly loved the people, she hoped from the bottom of her heart: Uncle's capable men are really too few!
But the good family education made her maintain superficial restraint, and she couldn't help asking in a low voice: "This time...who is it?"

Old Dong couldn't help smiling, and handed her the newspaper in his hand, and said, "Guess?..."

Cai Yan took the newsletter, only to see the title of the article this time: This person has long been foreshadowed. He was greedy for gold cakes and fame!
The subtitle is: Friends who know people with their eyes, cut off ties with them!

The storybook continued from the previous chapter, saying that the guy who prevented people in distress from taking a boat was howing vegetables in the garden with his friend earlier, and when he saw a piece of gold on the ground, the friend continued to hoe, as if seeing a tile.But he picked it up, and after seeing his friend's face, he reluctantly dropped the gold and left.

Another time, the two were sitting on the same table reading, and a Chinese carriage passed by outside the door.The friend was reading as usual, but the man couldn't help but put down the book and went out to watch.The friend then cut the mat and sat down with that person, and said to the person: "You are not my friend!"

"Weeding gold in the vegetable garden, splitting seats and sharing seats?" Cai Yan, who is well-informed and knowledgeable, immediately realized after reading the newsletter: "Isn't this the old story of Huaziyu, a native of the plains?"

"That's right, that's the guy." Old Dong gave Cai Yan an appreciative look, and said earnestly, "This talent's writing skills are not as good as your father's disciples."

"But when it comes to governing the country and governing the herdsmen, your father's disciples are not worthy to carry his shoes!"

After finishing speaking, he felt that the words were too full, and he returned to Huan and said, "Uh... your father has a disciple, who can be as talented as him, but unfortunately that person is far away in the south, I don't think the old man will be able to bind him in a short time."

"..." Cai Yan looked a little resentful.

Youyou glanced at Old Dong, and said: "Uncle, can't you give up being a villain and a villain, and use your benevolence to attract capable people from all over the world?"

"..." Now it was Old Dong's turn to complain.

After thinking about it seriously, he still shook his head: "Although your proposal is very tempting, I still feel that it will be more fulfilling to tie it up."

Do you have a sense of accomplishment?
It is clearly a psychopath, and it feels uncomfortable not to destroy others!
Sure enough, the perverted brain circuit is different from that of normal people, and it is difficult to understand.

Thinking of this, she spread out another newspaper and said, "Then uncle thinks that with these few slanderous articles, Hua Ziyu can be tricked?"

"First of all, this is not the old man's bad idea, but Jia Hu's."

Old Dong stretched out one finger first, then picked up the second one, and said: "Then this method...of course it will work, but it will be a bit slow to take effect."

As he said that, he laughed to himself, and continued: "However, the old man can add fuel to it, so that Hua Ziyu's legs and feet will be more agile..."

After talking for a long time, Cai Yan was not very interested in it, as long as he knew that Lao Dong's tricks could succeed.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the window.

Opening the curtain of the car, I saw that the carriage had already arrived at the Luoyang County Government Office.

The people didn't know what news they heard, and rushed there.From a distance, you can see the inner third floor and the outer third floor, and the water is blocked. The government officials even moved the horses to stop the people watching the excitement.

"Fellow folks!" In the center of the crowd, there was a man in ocher clothes and official uniform, holding a wooden trumpet and proclaiming loudly: "This trial is held in Luoling County, Luoling Township. The case of killing people is true."

"Youzhi Li Si raised child slaves, committed crimes, ran amok in the village, and did many evils. It has been judged that he directly beat and killed the villagers Liu Sanlang, Li Xiu, Da Dafu and others, and the number of indirect deaths is unknown! It is planned to be executed by beheading and executed in the fall of next year, and his family property will be confiscated immediately!"

"Villagers Liu Sanlang, Li Xiu, Pang Dafu and others were brutally beaten and killed. Luoning County gave them a generous burial and preferential treatment, and the land property was returned to their immediate relatives; the villager Wang Erniu was innocent and was beaten by him. Among the assets, Yourong is compensated; Zhao Zhu and other evil slaves act as minions, beat and kill the people, and they are sentenced to beheaded!..."

Hearing the verdict, the people watching the excitement applauded in unison and were very excited.

A group of poor housewives and children couldn't help but burst into tears, crying for their own injustice, kneeling on the ground to thank the big man for still being fair.

"Let's go, Wang Erniu, thank you Luoyang Cheng!" The simple-looking man in the crowd kowtowed and wept.

"Sima Cheng does not bully the dark room, holds up the mirror high, and has a great virtue, which can be said to be the blue sky of the people!" Seeing this, a scholar praised loudly and was very excited.

"Heaven has eyes, the imperial court is wise, and we have hope!" Other merchants and ordinary people also sighed in unison, and they couldn't help running and shouting.

"It's not some court sage, you don't know, this is all ordered by Dong Taiwei!"

A ranger who seemed to be well-informed suddenly said in the crowd: "If our Dong Taiwei hadn't made decisions for the people, how could the imperial court care about our lives?"

"Dong Taiwei?" Some people doubted, and said: "He is high above, why would he care about me waiting for these mud legs?"

"You don't know that, do you?" You Xia got excited immediately, causing everyone to listen: "Our Taiwei Dong is different from those well-clothed and well-fed family doctors. We have suffered hardships outside the Great Wall when we were young. not easy."

"Later, relying on the credit of the bloody fight in Liangzhou, I finally got to where I am today. After arriving in Luoyang, the first thing I thought about was that it was inconvenient for our people to buy, and vigorously reformed the neighborhoods in Fangshi."

"Later, Bailongyu went to the suburbs and saw the tyrants chasing and beating the people, so he immediately sent troops to shovel Nawu Fort. Then he went to the court to investigate the gentry's bullying of the people, which attracted Ting Wei, Sili Xiaowei, Censor Zhongcheng and Luoyang Cheng moved upon hearing the news, and we will be fair!"

"I said how do I see the Silis these days, and go around to investigate the case." A commoner suddenly realized.

"It's not just Si Li, soldiers and horses from Xiyuan have also been out of camp frequently these days, presumably they are going to attack those powerful Wubao." Another commoner realized later.

"The big man has Dong Taiwei, it is our blessing!"

"..."

Old Dong looked at Shi A who was the first to guide public opinion with a strange expression, and really wanted to remind him to hide the fine silk clothes in furs well in the future, so as not to show a corner when the wind blows, so that people can see the identity of the embroiderer.

However, this time things are done beautifully, it deserves a reward!
"Uncle..." Looking at this scene, Cai Yan couldn't help feeling a lot, and suddenly asked a very strange question: "Why did you do this?"

"Why do you want to do this?"

Dong Zhuo couldn't help laughing strangely when he heard the words, and asked back: "If I don't do this, will I be like those powerful ministers before, or even Emperor Guangwu?"

"After taking office, I cleverly set up a name to win over the gentry and powerful, and pay taxes and donations. After the common people pay the money, the money of the gentry and powerful will be returned in full, and the money of the common people will be divided into [-]%?"

"Return the money of the tyrants in full, and share the money of the common people?"

Cai Yan thought for a moment, and understood what Old Dong meant: Yes, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty relied on the power of the gentry to rebuild the Han Dynasty, but this also paved the way for the rise of the gentry.

And those who pay for these are the majority of bitter and cold people.

"So, uncle thinks that [-]% is too little, so he wants to fight against them?"

"Seventy percent belong to the tyrants, and thirty percent depends on their face!"

Speaking of this, Old Dong couldn't help being indignant: "Even if the old man racked his brains to extort money, there is only one person. How can it be compared to the tyrants of the gentry who are all over the place?"

"Uncle doesn't want to see their faces, that's why he loves the people like a son and has the common people in his heart?"

"Yes!" Old Dong nodded, and said seriously: "The old man finally entered Luoyang and became a captain. Why should he win over the powerful gentry, set up a name to deceive the common people, and finally depend on their faces?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't this old man beg for food on his knees?" After finishing speaking, he slapped his thigh and said, "This old man just has weak legs and feet, so he can't kneel down!"

Cai Yan blushed at the time and became angry: It's okay for you to slap your thigh, but what do you mean by slapping me?
Just because I pinched you just now, you want to get revenge like this?

Feeling ashamed and angry, she stammered and said: "Yes, but throughout history, powerful officials such as Zhao Gao, Wang Mang, and Liang Ji all failed to end well. Uncle wants to stand up and make money, and fight against the tyrants of the nobles. Don't you be afraid? Repeat the same mistakes?"

"Heh..." Old Dong took off the golden seal with purple ribbon on his waist, and patted it in front of Cai Yan: "This old man is in charge of the military power in Luoyang. If the gentry are not convinced, let them come here!"

"The gentry has been in business for a hundred years and has a solid foundation. Uncle is determined to go his own way. If they unite, they may not be able to fight."

Old Dong lifted the curtain of the car again, pointed to the common people outside who shouted 'Long live the Taiwei, Mr. Dong is benevolent', and said: "Plus the people's hearts are in hand, and the heavens obey the fate, can the old man earn money standing up?"

Cai Yan's eyes were bright in an instant, feeling that her legs didn't hurt anymore, and she bowed deeply to Old Dong: "Uncle is tall, really tall!"

"Not only is it tall, but the old man is also tough... Uh, the wrist is strong, so the old man is tall and hard!"
