Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 92
This outburst of Wang Situ's old stubbornness inadvertently helped Xu Jiashu solve many problems.

Imperial students can re-enroll, and there is a high probability that they will be able to serve as princes in the court in the future. Considering the current shortage of people in the court, they will probably have a good future;
Cai Yan could enter the palace to teach piano art and calligraphy, and still realize his wish to teach, and his salary would be as good as that of Ban Zhao;

The most important thing is that the troublesome matter of how to establish a connection with the little emperor has also been solved.

Won hemp.

Even if the First Emperor is resurrected in this wave, he may not be able to win more than Xu Zimao.

After saying goodbye to Wang Yun, Xu Jiashu was in a good mood. He returned to his work station and passed the time by reading reports from various places as usual.

At this time, due to the decline of the imperial authority, Zhongdu Guan Cao no longer had the authority to handle major cases in all thirteen states, and he only needed to concentrate on managing the Si Li Xiaowei Department (also known as Sizhou).

The Sili Xiaowei Department has a total of seven counties under its jurisdiction: Hanoi County has been occupied by the coalition forces, and most of Henan Yin has been reduced to a war zone. Not to mention that Dong Xiangguo is personally in charge, and it is not Shangshutai's turn to intervene, so the specific jurisdiction is only That leaves Jing Zhaoyin, You Fufeng, Zuo Feng Ling, plus Hongnong County.

Before Xu Jiashu is transferred, he still has to deal with the previous backlog of cases, which can be said to be a bit complicated.

But now he only needs to manage four counties, and the entire Cao's workload is already quite leisurely, so the time to change jobs is perfect.

Although Xu Jiashu was assigned to specifically manage public security inside and outside Chang'an, it did not prevent him from looking at cases in other areas for entertainment in his spare time.

"Strange." He turned over the bamboo slips and asked, "I've wanted to ask for a long time, why have we never seen the case in Xi County here?"

When the scribe on the side who was in charge of copying heard this, his eyes widened and he was as shocked as if he saw a group of sows lining up to fall into a puddle.

Xu Jiashu couldn't help but curse: Why are you looking like this? I'm not trying to kill you.
"These are the only cases reported from below. The official is just a transcriber and doesn't know much."

After saying a few words and completely forgetting about himself, the scribe hurriedly ran far away, avoiding him like the god of plague.

Anyway, it was just a casual question. Xu Jiashu didn't embarrass him and turned around to ask other people.

Although he was a new arrival in the Zhongdu Guancao, after all, he was Wang Situ who was responsible for managing the security of Chang'an City, and he had a background as a disciple of the great scholar Cai Yong. At first glance, he seemed to have a promising future, and there were many people who wanted to get close to him.

Hearing this question, a senior and experienced old minister replied in surprise: "How come Zimao has become confused? You have forgotten whose fiefdom is in Xi County. How can we intervene in that place?"

Hearing this, Xu Jiashu slapped his forehead.

Yes.

Fufeng County on the right is the territory of Dong Zhuo, the Marquis of Yi.

Although Dong Zhuo himself still lives in Luoyang, it does not prevent him from exerting influence on the Chang'an court from a distance. Last month, he worshiped the Grand Sima and Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu as his Taifu, in an attempt to bribe this important clan official, just because of the road. Cut off, and had no choice but to give up when the edict did not arrive.

As to whether it was really because the road was cut off or Liu Yu refused to obey the imperial edict, no one can tell clearly.

"The tribesmen of Dong Xiangguo moved to the fiefdom counties early, such as "Chiyang Jun" (Dong's mother), and even appointed family magistrates and family ministers." The old minister continued to explain, "Although according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, A marquis only has the income from the food and fiefdom of the fiefdom and does not enjoy the power of governance, but the fiefdom of Dong Xiangguo is another matter."

In Xi County now, it is the retainers of the Dong family who exercise power.

Regardless of the officials who have already established their own fiefdoms, to say the least, even if the court wanted to control them, it would be impossible.

The Northern Army guarding Chang'an is still under Dong Zhuo's control, plus the elite Xiliang Army serving as guards in the fiefdom. Not to mention the small Xi County, in the entire Sili, except for the territory of the coalition forces, the Dong family can Walk sideways.

For the local officials in Youfufeng, this is one of the few good things that happened after the imperial court took over - at least they don't have to be tortured by the mess in Xi County.

Originally, if the Dong family broke the law, who would dare to deal with it?

Who has the ability to deal with it?

I'm afraid that if the person is just arrested in the morning, before noon, the head of the person handling the case will be sacrificed to make amends.

Even Wang Situ's face was not easy to use in front of the Dong family.

When Dong Zhuo returns to the court, a fort filled with gold and silver treasures and 30 years of grain storage will be built in Xi County. People at that time called it "Long Live Wu", which is also often called "Xi Wu". Dong Zhuo called it "Shiwu". If you succeed, you will dominate the world; if you fail, you will be able to stay here until you are old."

But this is actually a sign of frustration.

A person who truly owns the world in his heart will not build any forts - if the whole world is his fort, why does he need high walls and strong fortresses?

Speaking of Xi County, except for the period when the rules were not clear at the beginning, the counties below have now consciously stopped sending documents from Xi County to the court, and everyone is happy to be out of sight but out of mind.

"How about it, does Zimao understand the whole story?" The old servant pointed at the wall and advised: "Don't make this kind of mistake again in the future, be careful if someone with intentions listens to it and it will cause trouble!"

Now that the old minister had given him the advice, Xu Jiashu could only nod his head and stopped asking for trouble by trying to intervene in the affairs of Xi County.

After work, he went straight to the outer city to find Gan Ning.

Only a month later, the scale of the charity house has expanded a lot, and it has even become the main business of Jinfan Ranger.

This is largely due to Gan Ning.

Or more specifically, his looks.

Gan Xingba has a feminine and handsome appearance, and an incredible figure, with smooth contours and strong muscles - if she were a different gender, this would be called childlike breasts.

Although he is a bit of a middle-aged man, his youthful look has captured the hearts of the noble ladies in the inner city.

For those boring noble ladies living in small inner cities, where prices are high and they can’t buy much with their money, they might as well donate to this handsome boy from Berkshire to gain a good reputation.

With so many refugees and supplies in his hands, Gan Ning did not just provide relief. Many of his people were among the people who repaired the Weiyang Palace.

It can be said that it takes both black and white. If you give him a little more time, I am afraid that after a few hundred years, Chang'an will have another heroic figure like Guo Xie.

"Xingba, how are you doing recently?"

Seeing Gan Ning gradually transform from a middle school boy to a great hero, Xu Jiashu was very happy for him.

"There are a lot fewer hungry people," Gan Ning thought for a moment, but then mentioned another thing, "But recently, many people who have lost their sons and daughters have come to me, hoping that I can uphold justice, but I have sent them away. .”

"Losing my son and daughter." Xu Jiashu was startled and immediately said angrily: "There are still human traffickers in Chang'an City?"

Then he thought about it, no, if it was such a thankless case, there was no way Jing Zhaoyin could hide it and not report it.

After all, the power is now vested in the Taiwan government. As long as it is reported, they can abdicate the responsibility.

"Their child was hit and killed by someone riding a horse in the street."

Gan Ning waved his hand and confirmed his guess, "They are not from Chang'an. Most of them are from Xi County. The local people can't handle this matter, so they thought of coming to Chang'an to complain."

"But who knew that even the imperial court couldn't control it," Gan Ning frowned, showing a rare look of sorrow, "so they came to me, not caring about their wealth and life, but also wanted to avenge their children."

"Who is it?" Xu Jiashu vaguely had the answer in his mind - who else besides the Dong family members, but he had to ask: "How dare you do such evil things in broad daylight?"

Gan Ning's answer really shocked Xu Jiashu, "It's shocking to say that the murderer turned out to be a seven-year-old child!"

"Seven years old?!"

"Dong Zhuo's grandson, Dong Yu, is always accompanied by hundreds of Liangzhou soldiers. He runs rampant on the streets of Xixian County and makes fun of hitting people on horseback." Gan Ning finally revealed the man's name. "At such a young age, he There is a suit of tailor-made armor, and even the colt named Pangqi under his crotch is made of jade armor!"

Xu Jiashu thought of Lu Bu who had returned with the treasure from the imperial mausoleum not long ago - the pony was probably wearing the gold-studded jade clothes of an emperor in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

He couldn't help but think: If word got out about putting something on a horse that only the emperor and the princes could be buried with,
It's better to pull it down, it won't happen if word gets out.

Xu Jiashu couldn't help but laugh at himself.

If the sentence is based on the "Nine Chapters", Dong Zhuo's grandson will die no matter how many times it is.

But the problem is that the current court actually has the final say with the surname Dong. The "Nine Chapters" can be used to punish other people's crimes, but it cannot punish the Dong family's crimes.

"You are really domineering," Xu Jiashu couldn't help but cursed, "You committed such evil deeds at the age of seven, what kind of disaster will you cause when you grow up?"

He is a former volunteer teacher and has always been very fond of children.

But because of this, Xu Jiashu clearly knows that children are often more terrifying when they do evil - because they have no basic concept of good and evil, and what they do is closer to pure evil.

That's the instinctive nature of animals.

Once they can follow this instinct without restriction, it will often lead to huge disasters, not to mention being accompanied by hundreds of elite guards.

"It will be over if you endure it." After a moment of silence, Gan Ning spoke up to explain Xu Jiashu, "Even those who lost their children did not dare to cry anymore when they heard that the perpetrator was Dong Zhuo's grandson. We can cover each other’s mouths and go home to hold funerals.”

Why are we covering each other's mouths?
Because I'm afraid I won't cover it tightly enough and I'll cry.

Because the other party controls the greatest violence in the world.

Because in the eyes of the young boy named Dong Yu, human life is just a mere toy.

What's even more sad is that, in a sense, what Gan Ning said is actually right.

When a case reaches this level, it becomes a case that does not need to be dealt with.

No one would think that this was something that could be resisted - even Dong Xuan, the strong command of the Western Han Dynasty passed down to later generations, only killed one of Princess Huyang's servants in the street in accordance with the law.

Only then did he meet Emperor Guangwu who listened to his advice, and Dong Xuan was able to change the death penalty to kowtow.

In comparison, this case was committed by Dong Zhuo's grandson, and Dong Xiangguo will not play the role of a wise king or saint with you. If you dare to mess with his family, there are only eighteen ways to die.

Xu Jiashu was just a doctor, and the tasks assigned to him by Wang Yun did not include Xi County. He was really not qualified to wade into this muddy water - even the local county magistrate did not dare to say a word, and everyone in the government and the opposition tacitly regarded it as This place, Xi County, does not exist.

If you scold someone in private, you have already done your best to be benevolent and righteous.

Looking further ahead, Cai Yan will be able to get in touch with the emperor soon. As long as he waits patiently for Dong Zhuo to return to Chang'an, he will be able to get a lot of credit for assassinating Dong.

No matter how bad it is, if you copy the homework from the last simulation, at least it will be like a lieutenant general.

Anyway, people cannot be resurrected after death. Wouldn't it be better to wait for Dong Zhuo's execution and then join everyone to seek justice for these children who died in vain in the name of justice?
Xu Jiashu swallowed silently.

It was not his turn to take charge of this case. To put it bluntly, before Dong Zhuo's death, no one could take charge of this case.

Despite this, Xu Jiashu decided to look for the corresponding dossier.

There was only one bamboo slip in front of him, and he couldn't help but ask: "Why are there only these files in Xi County?"

Logically speaking, even if the management of Xi County is transferred to the Dong family, but the local county magistrate has not been revoked, it is still the responsibility to record the cases within the jurisdiction.

"The clerks of the county government only recorded the cases during March," the clerk replied: "Then he was reported and beheaded in public. It is said that his head is still hanging on the city gate of Xi County!"

Xu Jiashu couldn't help but thought to himself: "The straight writing style is like the style of Taishi of Qi State."

Thanks to this unknown scribe, Dong Yu's actions in the past month can be witnessed.

Xu Jiashu slowly unfolded the bamboo slips.

The time was from the end of February in the first year of Chuping, which was the time when the imperial court completed its relocation.

There are many murder cases related to Dong Yu alone.

"Dong Yu rode his horse in the street and killed five young children."

"Dong Yu ordered the guards to kill seven people."

"Dong Yu ordered two civilians to fight each other with swords. The winner would live. Afterwards, the winner was seriously injured and died."

The file is not exhaustive. It can even be said to be as concise as possible. It omits the cause and process, and only states that Dong Yu killed people for fun in Xi County.

However, even such a simple record has already led to the death of this scribe.

If these had not been handed over to the Chancellor's Desk long ago, even these records might have been destroyed.

These powerful people have done such evil things and are not even willing to give alms to others with their recorded rights!
Outrageous.

Xu Jiashu turned over silently until the last page.

"Dong Yu kills people in the busy city. When he encounters old soldiers, he kills them all."

Perhaps because this incident was such a big deal, it was recorded a little more clearly.

"The people who moved here from Luoyang mostly have the surname Chu."

"Snapped!"

The bamboo slip slipped from his hand.

Zhuo Sun is seven years old and loves to think of him as his own son.In order to make a small armor, he made a horse and a jade armor.They all go in and out, thinking that they are the younglings of lins, colts, and phoenixes, and the sons of murderers are like the ears of fleas and lice.

——"Taiping Yulan·Bingbu·Volume 87"

　Note: The authenticity of this grandson's record is quite doubtful. It is most likely that he was trying to throw dirt on Dong Zhuo.
