Han family achievements

Chapter 459: Case closed in three days
"My Mr. Tian Dafu..."

Liu Yao was furious and stamped his feet, saying: "How many more people are you going to kill? There are so many imperial envoys, so many court officials, so many famous scholars, you, you really don't want to live anymore... …”

Liu Yao was furious, and the civil servants and generals behind him also had bad expressions on their faces, glaring at Tian Feng angrily.

Originally, they were good at killing the censors who patrolled the river, and it was a big deal to seize their families, ministers, and county magistrates, but there was still room for change, but Tian Feng kept killing them like this again and again, forcing them to death!
Tian Feng's expression did not change, but he looked directly at Liu Bei and said, "General Liu, do you also protect those thieves?"

Liu Bei tried his best to control his emotions, raised his hand and said, "May I ask Mr. Tian Fu, who am I trying to protect?"

Tian Feng's eyes turned and fell on Mi Zhu who was behind Liu Bei, and he said calmly: "In just half a month, can the warehouse of Mibiejia's manor outside the city no longer hold it?"

Mi Zhu's expression changed suddenly, and then she said in a deep voice: "That's the military salary I raised for General Liu. Could Mr. Tian Fu also want to copy it!?"

Tian Feng held a saber in his hand and said in a cold tone: "Then Mi Biejia, tell me, why do so many grain bags and cash boxes have the official seal of my Pei County!?"

Mi Zhu panicked, but said: "Tian Fujun, don't talk nonsense! I got all the money and food from the major noble families and businessmen, how can I have the official seal of your Fujun!? Tian Feng, I see you It’s murderous and crazy!”

Liu Bei's expression changed, but he still raised his hand and spoke very sincerely to Tian Feng, saying: "Mr. Tian Fu, my forty thousand army has been short of food and pay for many days. Mi Biejia has been running around for this, and his hard work has made him great achievements. Please don't express your anger. "

"General Liu,"

Tian Feng held the saber and said, "Do you think I am wrongly accusing him?"

Liu Bei raised his hand and opened his mouth to say something. Suddenly, Liu Yao stamped his foot and shouted urgently: "Enough! Enough!"

Liu Yao took a step back, with a look of hatred on his face, and shouted: "I am still the shepherd of Yuzhou! If you don't want to live anymore, I will accompany you. You don't have to wait for the imperial envoy to come!"

Seeing that Liu Yao was anxious, Tian Feng took a step back bitterly, but kept staring at Mi Zhu out of the corner of his eye.

This Mi Zhu almost missed a major event by dumping stones to control the river. Tian Feng was determined to completely solve this hidden danger before being taken away by the court!

Seeing that Tian Feng obviously refused to give up, Liu Bei looked sad, and turned to Liu Yao and said: "Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to find the imperial envoy."

Liu Yao was furious, his eyes were gloomy, and he said: "Okay. Now that I have Lao Xuande, I will be in charge of the prime minister's county, and nothing else will happen!"

Who this refers to is just a matter of naming him.

Tian Feng didn't seem to hear, he was covered in mud and stood motionless.

Liu Bei said: "My two worthy brothers are suppressing bandits. I believe there will be some news. I will leave the city right now. If there is any news, I will report it to the envoy immediately."

"Okay, okay, Xuande, go slowly." Liu Yao said repeatedly. Now he can only rely on Liu Bei. This Tian Feng has gone crazy and only knows how to kill people.

Liu Bei and Tian Feng solemnly raised their hands and left quickly.

Mi Zhu glanced at Tian Feng with cold eyes and followed Liu Bei in long strides.

He is Liu Bei's brother-in-law and is not afraid of Tian Feng at all.

As soon as they left, Liu Yao said to Tian Feng, "Stay here for me. You are not allowed to leave without my permission!"

After that, Liu Yao waved his hand and strode away.

Tian Feng took a deep breath and looked indifferent. He was still planning in his mind how to catch all those profiteers.

Xiangxian County was tense as never before and filled with a chilling atmosphere.

Liu Bei left the city and dispersed tens of thousands of troops, searching for Cao Song throughout Pei County.

Cao Song quietly took "Wang Zhong" and more than a dozen people to the outside of Xiangxian County. Because Xiangxian County was under martial law, he could not enter, so he had to live in a farmhouse outside the city.

Wang Zhong and the others were driven outside, but the old servant was busy with Cao Song. While washing his feet, he said: "Master, there is still no news. I don't know what is going on with the young master. He is really worried." I can’t close my eyes.”

Cao Song held the book in his hand, but he was mentally stable and said: "Since I was appointed as the imperial envoy, I am not worried anymore. What are you worried about?"

The old servant raised his head and said: "Master, God's will is unpredictable. They say that His Majesty is very fickle and kills people invisible. I wonder...whether he will be harmful to the little master."

Cao Song glanced at him, with a hint of irritation rising between his brows.

Cao Cao massacred three cities, which shocked the world and caused uproar in the government and the public. There is still no explanation, but the voice of impeachment is getting louder and louder. Not only Luoyang, but also county magistrates, governors, and state pastors in various states have issued ministers.

With such huge pressure pouring into Luoyang, can His Majesty still be able to survive?

The old servant washed Cao Song's feet, then changed his subject and said, "Master, what about the affairs in Xiang County? People who ran away from Xiang County said that Tian Feng went crazy and killed so many people in the street. . The Yuzhou pastor was furious and had him imprisoned in the state capital."

Cao Song's mission was actually not the so-called investigation, but to pick out Liu Yao, Tian Feng and others to quell the chaos in Yuzhou.

Now Tian Feng is like Feng Mo, killing hundreds of people at every turn, how can he save them?
But Cao Song's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Wang Zhong and others who were shouting outside, and said: "It's nothing more than shirking responsibility. There are plenty of people in Yuzhou, so just get over it."

The old servant was stunned and said: "Is it that simple?"

Cao Song flipped through the book and said, "I am the imperial envoy, Liu Yao, and Tian Feng has no reason not to help me. As long as we are of the same opinion, what can others say? This is your Majesty's wish, and the court certainly doesn't want to It’s going on forever, so the matter can be settled in a few days at most.”

The old servant's hands stopped. He had followed Cao Song all his life, but this was the first time he was so surprised.

How could such a big matter be covered up in just a few words?

Cao Song didn't care at all and read quietly.

So what if things are big? Not to mention that he has holy will now, even if he doesn't, as long as he is of the same caliber as Liu Yao, Tian Feng and others, what can the court do?
The initial decision on Yuzhou was without evidence. Is it possible that the imperial court would have to break up with a feudal official like Liu Yao and continue the protracted investigation?

It is the Holy Will and the imperial court's wish to settle this case quickly.

"Wait two more days to enter the city." Cao Song stared at the book.

The matter has not fermented enough yet, and another two days will be a good time to resolve it.

At this moment, the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were suppressing bandits.

At this time, Liu Yao, the shepherd of Yuzhou, was busy dealing with the aftermath. On the one hand, he was dealing with river management, and on the other hand, he was appeasing everyone in the county. At the same time, he kept writing letters and petitions to Luoyang.

At this time, Tian Feng was under house arrest in the state capital, but the conspiracy did not stop.

Yu Mi calmly dismissed the guards, entered Tian Feng's duty room, and said stiffly: "Mr. Tian Fu, we have found out."

Tian Feng wrote to himself and said calmly: "I said, I am responsible for all my work and I will never harm you."

If you hadn't threatened me with the murder at the mouth of the river, I wouldn't have been afraid! ?

Yu Mi was angry in her heart and said, "Thank you, Lord Tianfu."

Tian Feng finished writing, then raised his head, his eyes cold and silent, and said: "How many were found?"

Yu Mi looked back, stepped forward and whispered: "That Mi Zhu has close relations with the major noble families in the county. Those stones and grains were all bought from those noble families. Not only did they receive huge kickbacks, but the stones were forged, and the grains were faked." There are also problems..."

"Is there any evidence?" Tian Feng's tone was unusually calm. Yu Mi's eyes tightened and he said nervously: "I have found some, but there is no proof. If you want to get the stolen goods together, you will have to send a surprise attack to confiscate their warehouse."

Tian Feng sneered and said, "I can't even mobilize the city defense troops now. You want me to check Liu Bei's warehouse? Do you know how many people are guarding it?"

Yu Mi slowly backed away, not daring to speak.

Whether it's Tian Feng or Liu Bei, these two are the two he can't afford to offend.

Tian Feng lowered his head and continued writing.

Seeing that he was silent, Yu Mi quietly retreated.

"Find out the whereabouts of Mi Zhu. You don't have to worry about other things. You and I are clear." Tian Feng's words came softly from his back.

Yu Mi's expression changed, but he couldn't help but turned around and said to Tian Feng: "I'm not afraid of being implicated. Mr. Tian Fu, do you have to do this? Since ancient times, river management has never gone smoothly. No matter whether you are an official or a businessman, let alone those from aristocratic families, there is no way to stop them. Why bother? If you stop now, there is still room for turning around. "

Tian Feng was busy writing and ignored him.

When Yu Mi saw this, he sighed, raised his hand, and said, "I'm sorry to leave."

The candlelight flickered, and the bright or dark light shone on Tian Feng's face. Light and dark alternated, and murderous intent floated.

Two days passed by in a flash. The closed Xiang County was opened, and people were rushing in and out. It was only at noon that things calmed down.

Cao Song, dressed in regular clothes and leaning on a crutch, walked slowly into Xiang County like an ordinary old man with an old servant.

The old servant kept talking in his ear: "Master, can you believe the letter from the county? Can those people still obey the master after being away from home for many years?"

Although the Cao family lives in Qiao County, they are also a large family in Pei County, and they also have many industries and manpower in Xiang County.

Cao Song walked slowly, looking intently, and said: "They will deceive me about other things, but they can't and don't dare to do this."

The old servant responded thoughtfully, and then said: "Then, master, would it be a bit rash to go to the state capital now? Do you want to bring more people?"

Cao Song glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and said, "Why, are you old too? Are you afraid? When you followed me to conquer the Qiang people, you didn't have so many words."

The old servant supported Cao Song and said with a wry smile: "Master, don't be ridiculous. I'm really scared. This Yuzhou is now a land of tigers and wolves."

Cao Song looked at the state capital not far away and said: "Finish it as soon as possible and return to Beijing to resume your duties. Ahao's matter should have an outcome."

The old servant immediately understood that the young master was the old master's biggest concern.

Cao Song walked straight to the state capital with a cane, and Liu Yao was already waiting at the door.

"I've met Duke Cao." Liu Yao pretended to be happy, raised his hands, and trotted over.

To Cao Song, Liu Yao was just a junior. Even though he was now the shepherd of a state and an official in a feudal territory, he was not in Cao Song's eyes.

"Okay, let's call Tian Feng over. The decree is for you two." Cao Song just glanced at him and walked in without stopping on his crutches.

Liu Yao was startled and extremely vigilant, so he still ordered someone to pass on the news. He followed Cao Song and said, "Mr. Cao, regarding the death of the censor who patrolled the river and the magistrate of Xiangxian County, I..."

"alright,"

Cao Song raised his hand to stop Liu Yao and said, "First listen to the order before speaking."

Liu Yao's heart was in his throat and he could only follow closely behind Cao Song.

Cao Song sat down in the main hall, and Liu Yao sat on the edge. During the polite exchanges before and after tea, he tried to find every opportunity to explain, but Cao Song always simply pushed away and didn't want to listen at all.

Not long after, Tian Feng arrived. He was dressed in official uniform and walked like a tiger. He came to Cao Song and raised his hand directly: "See the angel. Everything was done by the lower officials. Ask the angel to take me to the capital for punishment!"

Cao Song waved his hand impatiently and said: "Except for Liu Yao and Tian Feng, everyone else should retreat ten steps away and within ten steps, behead them!"

All the officials in Yuzhou, big and small, all looked at Liu Yao and Tian Feng.

Liu Yao was so nervous that he couldn't care about anything else and said directly: "Everyone, get out."

Everyone raised their hands and resigned, leaving only Cao Song's servants, Liu Yao, and Tian Feng.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Cao Song was too lazy to argue with Liu Yao and Tian Feng, and said, "The court has received news that the river inspector and many river officials, including the magistrate of Xiang County, colluded with each other and embezzled the river repair funds. Their crimes are unforgivable. You executed them according to the order of the court and made the decision before the trip. However, you acted too violently, so you will be demoted three levels and temporarily retain your official title."

Liu Yao and Tian Feng were completely stunned.

When did they get an order from the court?

Moreover, the merits outweigh the faults?

They were all smart people, so they couldn't understand the meaning of Cao Song's words, but they felt something was wrong no matter how much they thought about it, and they looked at Cao Song suspiciously.

Cao Song didn't want to talk nonsense with them at all, and said: "Within three days, the case must be closed. Give it to me clearly and clearly! If I go back to Luoyang, Yushitai, and Tingwei Mansion to investigate and deal with the mistakes, You two should die to apologize."

Liu Yao and Tian Feng were indeed smart people, and they understood it instantly.

Compared to Tian Feng's shock, Liu Yao was overjoyed and said quickly: "Everything is subject to Duke Cao's orders. However, Mr. Tian Fu killed some more people, all..."

"Humph!"

Cao Song became more and more impatient and said directly: "If you can't handle it, just tie him up and follow me back to Luoyang."

"can!"

Liu Yao immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Cao, I will definitely handle the situation properly and there will be no mistakes!"

Cao Song ignored him, but looked at Tian Feng, his eyes as sharp as a knife, and said: "Tian Feng, a noble man asked me to tell you something: there will never be a second time, otherwise the Tian clan and the Yi clan will die."

Tian Feng's tribe was killed by Yuan Shu, but the Tian family was not.

Tian Feng knelt down with a bang, his face was like iron, his eyes were red, he grabbed the ground with his head, and said in a deep voice: "The guilty minister, take the order!"

There is no need to guess who can make Cao Song called a "noble man". There is no second person in the world.

Cao Song stood up slowly on crutches and said, "How much does Liu Bei know?"

Liu Yao said hurriedly: "He doesn't know that Tian Feng and I did everything. We can definitely handle it and there will be no clues!"

Cao Song said expressionlessly: "Tian Feng will follow me back to the capital in three days. Mr. Liu, your noble one has one more sentence: Do not breach the embankment."
