Zhong Yao stood for a while, then turned around and prepared to go back to Tingwei's Mansion.

"Ting Wei, go slowly." Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

When Zhong Yao turned his head, he saw a servant walking slowly.

Zhong Yao frowned and quickly let go, he felt uncomfortable and instinctively disliked this person.

There was a smile on the snow-white face, but this smile was too fake, which gave people a sinister feeling.

Zuo Li approached and said with a smile: "Ting Wei, get ready, some people are going to rob prisoners."

Zhong Yao remained motionless, raised his hand and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Seeing that he wasn't panicked, Zuo Li couldn't help but startled.

Zhong Yao didn't say much, turned around and left.

At the same time, a group of subordinate officials and guards from Tingwei's Mansion escorted the Yuan family and a group of party members out of Tingwei's Mansion and transferred them to the execution ground.

On the remote path, there were more than a dozen people in cages, and more than [-] people walking in shackles. The line was very long.

The left supervisor of Tingwei's Mansion rode a horse and walked in the front, vigilant about his surroundings.

At the intersection not far ahead, there were dozens of masked people on both sides, holding swords, waiting quietly.

Tingwei Zuojian seemed to have noticed something, looked around, reined in the horse, and walked a little slower.

The escort was not nervous. A subordinate stood behind him and said with a smile, "Zuo Jian, this is Luoyang. In broad daylight, who would dare to rob a prisoner?"

The left supervisor drew out his knife and said, "Don't you think it's too quiet?"

The subordinate's expression changed, he looked around quickly, and then smiled again: "You scare me, Supervisor Zuo, this is a secluded path, isn't it normal to be quiet?"

shhhhhh

Before he finished speaking, suddenly there were short bows shooting from both sides.

"what……"

Then the subordinate officials and servants of Tingwei's Mansion shouted loudly, and many of them fell to the ground in response.

"alert!"

The left supervisor jumped off the horse violently, held a long sword, and stared at the masked man who rushed over silently not far away.

The masked man didn't speak at all, he killed anyone he saw, rushed over, and cut off the chains on the cage with a knife.

Seeing this, Yuan Ji, Wang Kuang and others were somewhat confused.

"Yuan Gong, let's go!"

Someone masked Yuan Kai and was about to walk out.

Yuan Kai had gray hair, an old face, and no strength at all. Looking at the masked man, he said out of breath, "Take Yuan Ji and go."

The masked man stared at Yuan Kai, seemed hesitant, then turned to Yuan Ji, and shouted, "Take the servant away!"

"Don't let them take one!"

The left supervisor tried his best to resist the man in black and shouted at his guards.

The guards were not opponents at all, and with the short archers lurking on both sides, the situation turned one-sided in an instant.

Several masked men supported Yuan Kai, Yuan Ji, Wang Kuang and others, preparing to withdraw.

Although Yuan Ji didn't know why, he knew that this was his uncle's last move. Seeing Yuan Kai's dying appearance, he said anxiously, "Be careful, uncle, don't hurt him!"

The masked man didn't care so much, and led a group of people to prepare to evacuate.

But they stopped abruptly, and even backed away.

Not far in front of them, a group of well-armored forbidden troops appeared at some point.

They retreated, and from the corner of their eyes, they saw the roofs of the surrounding houses, and there were archers appearing, and when they looked back, they found that there were forbidden troops blocking the road on the other side!
"Ah..." There were several screams in the dark, and those short archers were dealt with.

With a blue face, Zhong Yao slowly came out from a corner, staring at the leading masked man with cold eyes.

Yuan Kai raised his head with difficulty, his eyes were cloudy, and said, "Take Yuan Ji alone."

The masked man gritted his teeth and shouted, "Get out!"

Zhong Yao snorted and said, "You so-called rangers are really daring!"

The imperial army moved and rushed towards the man in black. With the assistance of the archers, it was one-sided.

The masked man tried his best to break through, but he couldn't get out at all.

It didn't take long for the masked men to be almost killed, and some of them were held around their necks by swordsmen, leaving them alive.

Zhong Yao stepped forward, pulled off their masks, recognized one of them, and shouted, "Take me back!"

A guard came over, shackled them and dragged them away.

At this time, the left supervisor supported his injured right arm, came up to him and said, "Ting Wei has already decided?"

Zhong Yao ignored him, and came to Yuan Kai, who was leaning on the wheel, with disheveled hair, tilted head, and dull eyes.

Zhong Yao took a careful look and said, "Teacher, it's useless."

Yuan Kai's lips twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, but kept looking in Yuan Ji's direction.

Yuan Ji was escorted to kneel on the ground, seeing Yuan Kai's appearance, wept bitterly: "Uncle!"

Yuan Kai's cloudy eyes slowly lost their focus and closed slowly.

Seeing Yuan Kai's death, Zhong Yao breathed a sigh of relief, slowly straightened up, turned to his left supervisor, and said, "I've checked you, and you have nothing to do with the eunuchs, the Yuan family, or the He family. Why do you help me?" them?"

Zuo Jian was taken aback, and said with a smile: "Ting Wei is joking, how has the officer ever helped them?"

The subordinate staff at the side quickly said: "Tingwei, it was the left supervisor who discovered the thief in time."

Zhong Yao looked directly at the left supervisor, and said, "This route is deliberately detoured a few times, and I told three people respectively, here, only you know."

The left supervisor secretly gritted his teeth, and immediately said: "Yes. It's true that I have not received favors from the Yuan family, but I have received favors from other people. They asked me to help with this."

Zhong Yao was not surprised, and said, "Let's go."

The left supervisor looked at Zhong Yao, and said, "Aren't you going to kill me?"

"Not to kill." Zhong Yao said.

The left supervisor showed doubts, and said: "Aren't you afraid that your Majesty will ask you?"

Zhong Yao looked back at Yuan Ji and the others, and said: "Your Majesty never likes to kill people. From the palace rebellion to the killing of the eunuchs, in this case of the Yuan family, His Majesty tried his best to control the situation, focusing on benevolence. Don't punish the company, don't even sit down, only punish the chief evil, you are the ones who like to kill. You don't have to worry about the imperial court's sea arrest, in a few days, His Majesty will pardon the world again."

Hearing this, Supervisor Zuo's expression changed, and he raised his hand and said, "Thank you Tingwei."

After finishing speaking, he and a few rangers who were still alive left helplessly.

The subordinate staff came over, looked at their backs, shook their heads and said, "I hope they can feel His Majesty's benevolence and wake up."

Zhong Yao didn't care, and said: "Take them to the execution ground, don't waste time."

"Yes!" The subordinate staff responded, and put him into the prison car again, and continued to transport him away.

Jingfudian.

Pan Yin stepped into the study, and saw Liu Bian was concentrating on practicing calligraphy, silently leaning forward.

Liu Bian swayed to the right, raised his pen, looked at some handwriting, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "What's the matter?"

Pan Yin then said: "Your Majesty, Dr. Yang's carriage lost control, he was thrown out of the carriage, and suffered serious injuries."

Liu Bian looked at the word 'Prime Minister' on the paper, and said with a smile: "He still wants to hide, so I will give him a surprise. Order Dong Zhuo to be executed first, and leave for Yanzhou tomorrow."

"Yes." Pan Yin replied.

"Is there any news about Huangfu Jianchang and Cao Cao?" Pan Yin was about to turn around when Liu Bian asked again.

Pan Yin immediately said: "Not yet."

Liu Bian hummed, wondering how much Huangfu Jianchang could bring back.

Raising money and food for the imperial court will definitely not go smoothly. What he really hopes for is reforming the tax system, curbing local corruption, and sending money and food directly to the Luoyang treasury.

Seeing that Liu Bian didn't speak any more, Pan Yin left the palace quickly.

There is also a time for making a decisive decision, and the auspicious time cannot be delayed.

Liu Bian looked at the word 'Prime Minister' on the table, and then at the notebook beside him.

This is a joint memorial by Xun You, Zhong Yao, He Yong and others. Its name is "Eighteen Discussions on Salt Administration".

Compared with other taxes involving the whole country, the Salt Administration is originally classified as the imperial court, so the impact of the change will not be so drastic, the room for manipulation is larger, and the effect is the fastest.

Liu Bian's eyes flickered for a while, took a deep breath, and whispered to himself, "Wait a little longer."

At present, there are still two problems to be solved, one is Yanzhou and the other is Bingzhou. After solving these two, in terms of time, the imperial court is basically stable and can concentrate on reform.

Taiwei's House.

Dong Zhuo, who was packing up his things and was about to leave Luoyang, received a new order from Liu Bian.

Dong Zhuo sat there, his eyes wide open angrily, his face full of steel.

Li Su was secretly happy that he was going to be the Minister of Six Caos, but when he heard that Dong Zhuo was going to supervise and kill Yuan's family, he couldn't help being shocked in his heart, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face.

After a long time, Dong Zhuo withdrew his man-eating eyes, looked at Li Su, and said irritably, "Just do as you said, and find a way to make the Huns invade the border, so that Niu Fu and others don't have to go to Beijing."

Li Su quickly raised his hand and said: "The next official takes orders."

Dong Zhuo stood up, put on his clothes, held his sword, and walked out of the house quickly.

Li Su opened his mouth to speak, but finally remained silent.

He also wanted Dong Zhuo to find an excuse not to do this supervision, but he felt that Dong Zhuo seemed to be a little suspicious of him, so he didn't dare to talk too much.

on the execution ground.

More than 20 adult men of Yuan's family were dressed in prison uniforms, and a dozen or so party members were all escorted to kneel on the execution ground.

On the outskirts are a group of servants from the Tingwei Mansion and the imperial army, and outside, there are onlookers.

"Traitor!"

"Rebellious ministers and thieves will bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

The people were excited, desperately throwing the momentum in their hands, rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, cursing angrily, and even rushed in.

Yuan Ji and other members of the Yuan family were silent, with fear in their eyes, and the rest of the party members were ashamed.

Not far from them, Dong Zhuo was sitting with a cold and majestic expression, his eyes staring like copper bells.

The right supervisor of Tingwei Mansion next to him looked at the sun, counted the time silently, turned around and said to Dong Zhuo: "Dong Taiwei, the time has come."

What Dong Zhuo thought in his heart was to kill these Yuan family members as soon as possible, leave Luoyang as quickly as possible, and flee back to Bingzhou.

As long as he picked up the beheading order on the table and shouted 'cut', all the heads of the Yuan family not far away would fall to the ground.

But when the matter came to an end, Dong Zhuo hesitated again, beheading the Yuan family would not do him any good, but would offend those aristocratic families instead.

Ting Wei waited for a while, seeing that Dong Zhuo hadn't moved, he said in a low voice, "Taiwei Dong?"

Dong Zhuo glanced at him, and reached for the beheading order in front of him.

For him, the so-called family is not that important.

"Dong Zhuo!"

Suddenly, on the execution ground, Wang Kuang's eyes were red, his face was distorted, and he shouted: "Today, you slaughtered scholars and killed Zhongliang, aren't you afraid of God's punishment?"

Dong Zhuo opened his eyes, his light was as cold as lightning, he picked up the beheading order, and said in a deep voice, "Cut!"

Wang Kuang knelt down and roared angrily, "Dong Zhuo, the Yuan family has treated you well. You are ungrateful and have failed your benefactor. Everyone in the world will be punished if they get it!"

Dong Zhuo snorted and didn't care at all.

With his order, the executioner held down the prisoners and raised the butcher's knife high.

"what……"

The Yuan family suddenly burst into tears, struggling and crying, yelling for mercy.

The voices of the people around were even louder, shouting 'cut, chop, chop'.

Yuan Ji looked at the ground with a dazed expression. It seemed that a special scene appeared in front of his eyes. It turned out to be a person who looked exactly like the Yuan family, standing on a high platform, and hundreds of people below were shouting.

Call something, but he can't hear it.

click
He heard it and never heard it again.

Everyone on the execution ground couldn't hear it anymore, and everyone's head rolled down.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo snorted, got up and left.

The life and death of the Yuan family has nothing to do with Dong Zhuo, he wants to leave Luoyang as soon as possible.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo had left, the right supervisor of Tingwei's Mansion quickly ordered the servants of Tingwei's Mansion to deal with the aftermath.

At the same time, Taiyuan County, forty miles west.

Hua Xiong, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou came to Lu Zhi's camp one after another.

Several people went in one after another, only then did they realize something was wrong, Zhang Jin said calmly, "Why are you all here?"

Zhang Ji said: "Aren't you here to collect money and food?"

"I did it because of merit."

"I'm here to get the pension money."

Hua Xiong, Guo Si and others spoke one after another, and everyone suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Li Jue turned around and wanted to leave.

The large tent facing him was opened, and Lu Zhi walked in slowly.

Seeing this, Li Jue backed away slowly, his other expressions became tense, and he unconsciously clenched the sword at his waist.

They are all Dong Zhuo's subordinates, the leaders who Dong Zhuo stayed in Bingzhou to make the court fearful.

These people are very vigilant against the imperial court. They have been hiding from Lu Zhi for various reasons and have not been ordered.

This time it was for money and food, so I took the risk.

Lu Zhi has a generous face and slender brows. His expression has the gentleness of a scholar and the sharpness of a general.

He came in with his hands behind his back, expressionless, looked around coldly, and said, "Are you in a hurry to go back?"

Seeing that Lu Zhi's tone was not kind and there were many soldiers behind him, Li Jue raised his hand solemnly and said, "Master, there is an urgent matter in the army, and I need to go back urgently."

Seeing the vigilant faces of several people, Lu Zhi took out an imperial decree from behind and handed it to him, saying: "Your Majesty's decree, Niu Fu enters the capital and is promoted to Liucao Shangshu, Dong Taiwei has also been added as Shangshu."

The expressions of the five people were shocked. They didn't even know the news!
Li Jue took the edict with suspicion, looked at it carefully, and handed it to others.

A group of people circulated and looked at each other, some of them didn't know what to do.

Lu Zhi looked at them and said, "Soon, Niu Fu will come to Beijing to assist the Taiwei. Where are you going?"

Everyone was slightly shocked, and only then did they understand the key point.

They are Dong Zhuo's generals. Dong Zhuo is not here, and they are headed by his son-in-law Niu Fu. If Niu Fu is also promoted to Beijing, what will they do?
The five people looked at each other, but Li Jue raised his hand and said, "Master, will you allow me to discuss with you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers rushed in, holding up their knives, and surrounded them.

Zhang Ji's expression changed, he drew his saber violently, and said in a deep voice, "Master, what is the meaning of this?"

With his hands behind his back, Lu Zhi said sharply, "I am the shepherd of Bingzhou, what do you mean?"

The five people saw those strong men and soldiers, who could vaguely see the front and back of the big tent, and it was obvious that today's things were difficult to be good.

Guo Si's expression changed, and he said, "What does your envoy want us to do?"

Lu Zhi said: "Hand over the soldier talisman and join me."

The five people had different expressions and looked at each other with extreme vigilance.

Now they have only two choices: one, agree to Lu Zhi and hand over the military talisman.Second, he was hacked to death here.

Their eyes flickered constantly, their hearts were tangled and struggling, and no one dared to speak first.

After confronting each other for a while, Lu Zhi seemed to lose his patience, his gaze became flat, and he turned to look outward.

When Zhang Ji saw it, he said anxiously: "Master, I don't have the soldier talisman with me, can you let me go back and get it?"

Lu Zhi kept walking, and behind him, there was loud footsteps outside the big tent, and more soldiers surrounded him.

The faces of the five people changed drastically, and Li Jue said anxiously: "I am willing to follow the envoy!"

Some people spoke, others didn't want to die, and some even took out the talisman and said loudly: "Here is the soldier talisman, please accept it."

Lu Zhi came in again, looked at a few people, and said: "Follow me to fight, high-ranking officials and rich salary."

With the swords on their necks, what else could the five of them say, they knelt on one knee and said, "I will follow the envoy to the death!"

Lu Zhi took their soldier talismans, went out of the big tent, and said anxiously to a middle-aged man with square corners, gullies, and a resolute face: "Bo Gui, take their soldiers and horses immediately, and if necessary, any You kill!"

Bogui, the character of Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan looked serious, and said, "Teacher, what about Niu Fu?"

Half of Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses were in Niu Fu's hands.

Lu Zhi said: "Don't worry about him, as long as you take down these people, it's easy to kill him, quick!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Gongsun Zan took the soldier talisman from Zhang Ji and others, turned around and rode on the white horse, leading his white horse army to pass by.

Lu Zhi looked at his back, called an aide, and said, "You go to see Niu Fu with the imperial decree, gold and silver money, and do as I tell you. Be sure to keep him steady, and find out his truth by the way."

"Students take orders." The staff responded, and left in a hurry with only two of them.

Lu Zhi thought for a while, and recruited a few more people to form a formation to prevent accidents.

Zhang Ji, Li Jue and others were trapped in the big tent, and they had unloaded their weapons. Now they are completely slaughtered.

No one spoke, and his heart was heavy. He wondered if Lu Zhi would slip up and kill them instead of taking away their soldiers and horses.

Late that night, Xihe County.

Niu Fu arranged for Lu Zhi's staff to rest, and when they sat back, they kept staring at the imperial edict.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in white plain clothes with a cold and gloomy face walked in slowly.

Niu Fu was tall and thick, short and stout, and when he saw Jia Xu he hurriedly said, "Wen He, come quickly, the imperial court ordered me to be the Minister of Liu Cao."

Jia Xu had already heard about it, and after sitting down, he said directly: "General Zhonglang, move your division."

Niu Fu was taken aback, and said, "Wenhe, what does this mean?"

Jia Xu looked at him and said, "I guess, there must be a big change in Beijing, and the imperial court is going to seize the military power of the Taiwei."

Niu Fu was startled, and said, "Then what should we do?"

Jia Xu said: "If you move the division, you can temporarily protect it."

Niu Fu's face was full of uneasiness, and he said, "Temporary bail? Wen He, don't scare me."

Compared with Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu trusts Jia Xu more and treats him better.

Jia Xu reciprocated, with a serious look, he said: "Unless the Taiwei comes back, sooner or later Bingzhou will be Lu Shijun's world, we can't fight."

In Niu Fu's hands, there are no more than 2 people in his hands. Even though he is a veteran of many battles, he is facing Lu Zhi, and behind Lu Zhi is the imperial court.

Niu Fu has no roots and foundation, and will not be Lu Zhi's opponent. Unless Dong Zhuo comes back, Bingzhou will definitely be taken into Lu Zhi's hands.

In fact, Jia Xu didn't tell the whole story, the court tried their best to coax Dong Zhuo into Beijing, and would definitely not give him a chance to come back, even if he was killed directly, causing chaos in Bingzhou!
Niu Fu panicked even more, and said, "What's the matter? The adoptive father will definitely not come back for a while."

Although he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Niu Fu is also Dong Zhuo's godson.

Jia Xu didn't move at all, and said: "General Zhonglang, either enter the capital, or move to wait for the right time."

Niu Fu struggled and hesitated.

Neither of these are good options.Once they enter Beijing, they will lose their foundation, and they will not be slaughtered in Beijing.

If the division is moved, Bingzhou is so big, with the Xiongnu in the north, the Qiang people in the west, and Hanzhong and Sanfu in the east and south.

Jia Xu saw it, her eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't speak.

Because there is really no good choice, Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing is a stinky move that can't be stinky anymore!

If Dong Zhuo had listened to his advice, he would not have come to where he is today.

Niu Fu thought for a while, and said, "Let's move the division."

Anyway, I can't enter Beijing!

Jia Xu nodded, thinking in her heart that she had to choose a new shogunate.

……

In Luoyang City.

Because the Yuan family was killed, the atmosphere that was already raging suddenly cooled down.

In the imperial court, there were sporadic memorials for the impeachment of Yang Biao, Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun.

Yang Biao asked for leave due to injury, Dong Zhuo was ousted from the Taiwei's mansion, and went all over Luoyang to find a courtyard with great fanfare, while Wang Yun ignored it and concentrated on handling official duties at Shangshutai.

Shangshutai is just Wang Yun.

Sili Xiaowei Tang Mao, Shangshu Xunyou, He Yong, and Tingwei Zhongyou were in Jingfu Hall, discussing with Liu Bian all night about "tax transfer".

Even if it is only temporarily in Sili, there are still many problems, and various problems of the local government and the court need to be dealt with.

Early the next morning, Liu Bian watched the few people leave the palace with a look of sleepiness but excitement.

Zuo Li came over, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are ready."

Liu Bian's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "Do you know how to do it?"

Zuo Lixue's face was full of respect and respect, and he said: "The little man understands. The guard Taiwei went to Yanzhou safely, and after executing Yuan Ji and others, he escorted the Taiwei back safely."

Liu Bian nodded, then stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "That's good. There must be some kind of moth on the way. If Dong Taiwei fell off his horse or was killed by bandits, and brought the body back, I will have a good burial." .”

"The villain understands." Zuo Li bowed even more, he really understood.

Liu Bian looked at the newly exposed sun, and said: "The house you bought privately is in a bad location, I'll change it for you, go."

Zuo Li's heart trembled, his whole body was icy cold, and the corner of his mouth trembled and said: "Yes, the villain understands."

This time he really understood.

"Ah."

Liu Bian hummed, and suddenly said: "By the way, that Li Su is available. You are on the way, use some tricks quietly."

Zuo Li instinctively felt a chill coming from his back, and said softly, more cautiously: "The villain understands."

This time, he really understood.

Zuo Li was careful with every step, not daring to make any mistakes in every movement, and slowly walked out of Jingfu Hall.

As soon as he came out of Jingfu Hall, he strode out of the palace with a panic and gloomy expression on his face, terrified and terrified.

"My lord."

Not far from the palace gate, a military officer stepped forward, saw his expression, and said suspiciously.

Zuo Li's expression was numb, his face became paler, and he looked at him vigilantly, as if remembering that he didn't know about the house, and then looked at the hundreds of forbidden soldiers behind him, some of them aroused his suspicion.

But he didn't dare to doubt, let alone take any action.

Zuo Li forced a smile and said, "It's okay, go pick up Dong Zhuo."

"Take orders!" Although the military marquis was puzzled, he still responded.

Zuo Li rode a horse and brought more than 100 forbidden troops, and came to the Taiwei's mansion with great momentum.

Dong Zhuo was ordering someone to clean up in the name of moving house, packed more than 70 big boxes, when he heard that Zuo Li wanted to escort him, he snorted coldly, waved his hands, and said, "The old man will go out later."

More than 100 forbidden troops are nothing in his eyes.

Not long after, Dong Zhuo came out fully dressed and saw Zuo Li sitting on a tall horse motionless, and said with a smile, "I'll be escorted by an angel."

Zuo Li came back to his senses for a short while, and said with a smile: "Taiwei, you don't need to worry if I'm here, you don't need to bring people with you, I'm all selected warriors from Liaodong."

Dong Zhuo paused, and then said: "Okay, okay."

After speaking, he got into the carriage.

Li Su rushed over in a hurry, and after seeing Zuo Li, he rode a horse beside Dong Zhuo's carriage.

Zuo Li saw that everyone was there, looked in the direction of the palace, resisted the urge to turn around and observe those people, reined in the horse rope, and said, "Let's go!"

A group of more than a hundred people walked slowly, exited Kaiyangmen, and then headed east all the way to Yanzhou.

Dong Zhuo in the carriage had a sullen face and a smile in his eyes, quite smug.
