I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 186 The truth behind it

Langya Kingdom, in a private house in Kaiyang County.

Prime Minister Yin De was furious.

He cursed at the person in front of him: "We agreed beforehand that we were just going to make a little mess, but why did we involve the Yellow Turban Thieves and actually attack the city in Beihai!"

But the person in front of Yin De didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "My father and I are both from the same hometown of Nanyang. How can we lie to each other if we are from the same hometown and are in other places?"

Yin De became even more angry when he saw this man's attitude.

He was so angry that he called him by his name: "Xu You! You are a bastard, not a son of man! You deserve to have your clan wiped out."

The person in front of Yin De was Xu You, who had been on the run.

When Wang Fen was involved in the rebellion, Zhou Jing and Xiang Kai, who were also on the run, risked their lives for the sake of their clan, but Xu You was an exception, still running away, and thus the clan was destroyed.

Xu You couldn't stop laughing when Yin De opened his wounds in front of his face.

He could explain to others that he was hiding in the mountains and had no information, but he couldn't lie to himself.

Xu You knew deep down in his heart that he was just afraid of death, so he convinced himself that the court was just deceiving him, and sat back and watched the clan be wiped out.

But in reality, part of the clan of the two men who took the lead was preserved.

After this incident, Xu You first resented himself, and then put all the blame on others.

He used the excuse of lack of information for so long that he believed it himself, blaming the emperor, blaming the Tingwei... blaming them for not giving him more time.

When Emperor Xian died, his resentment was transferred to the new emperor.

His crime of rebellion was also excluded from the scope of the new king's amnesty and was an unpardonable crime.

When a new king takes the throne, shouldn’t all sins be forgiven?

Xu You's hatred does not diminish.

Facing Yin De, his face darkened.

He explained: "It was Zang Ba who became greedy when he saw the profit, so he teamed up with the Yellow Turban thieves and plundered several counties."

But Xu You knew in his heart that if he didn't make this matter a big deal, how could he sit here peacefully today?

He had died in a gutter a long time ago.

Erqian Shi planned to let several petty officials and his men occupy several pavilions, but was later killed by the county captain and his men.

Erqian Shi planned to get the petty officials to join the Yellow Turban bandits to rebel and plunder the county.

The two are completely different concepts. Once the latter is exposed, few people dare to bear the responsibility of concealing it.

"If you hadn't said that you were sent by Yuan Benchu, how could I have believed you! Now it seems that Yuan Benchu ​​entrusted you to someone else!"

Yin De has already had murderous intentions towards Xu You who is out of control.

He was born in the Yin clan of Nanyang. The Yin clan was very prosperous in the early days of Emperor Guangwu and Emperor Ming. Later, Yin Lihua's brother Yin Feng stabbed Princess Li Yi to death and angered Emperor Ming.

During the reign of Emperor He, the Yin family gave birth to another queen, but she was deposed for practicing witchcraft.

Now the Yin family is in a new period of rising. Not only does the family have two thousand stones like him, but there is also a Jiuqing, Shaofu Yinxiu.

But there are also differences among wealthy families.

With Jiuqing and 2,000 stones, the Yin family is definitely at the forefront of the wealthy family, but compared to the top family Yuan family, it is still dwarfed.

In order to befriend the Yuan family, Yin De secretly opened a convenient door for Xu You, but did not want to trap himself. Xu You was not afraid of Yin De. He said: "We are all from the same country. How could I not know the situation of the Yin family in Nanyang? Not to mention Xinye County, how many of your Yin family's farm slaves are there in the neighboring counties? Don't you want to, Lord Yin?" Do you want to stop the Emperor’s New Deal?”

"There are only so many acres and people in the world. If the emperor's New Deal continues, now it's about rectifying the small officials. Sooner or later it will fall on you! This is something that all people with far-sightedness can see. Mr. Yin helps me succeed, really. Is it all because of Yuan Benzhu and not a single thought?"

"Furthermore, Mr. Yin keeps mentioning Yuan Benchu, but does Mr. Yin have any evidence to prove that Yuan Benchu ​​was involved in this matter? Without proof, does Mr. Yin want to provoke a strong enemy for the clan?"

"If I, Xu Ziyuan, die here, within ten days, Luoyang will know who put Zang Ba, who colluded with the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou, into Beihai Kingdom."

Amid Xu You's rebuttal, Yin De fell silent.

Not just because of the threat behind Xu You.

He just received a letter from his family a few days ago. The family complained that a censor named Cheng Yu showed no mercy and defrauded many tenants in their Yin clan's territory to go to Sanfu to farm.

Could Sanfu be a good place? The Qiang and Huns were raging there, and it had remained like this for many years.

In order to prevent these tenants who were trying to leave from the cliff and avoid the sea of ​​misery, there was a guest in their family who went door to door to persuade them.

Even in order to make these tenants listen to the advice, the diners were kind enough to provide their own food and take care of the children of these tenants.

In this most difficult month of the year, do something that will make you cry.

What a great deed!

The tenants were moved to tears by this, but Cheng Yu, the imperial censor, was so hard-hearted that he could do nothing but praise him. He even wanted to have his family's guests punished and executed.

If this disciple hadn't been loyal and severed ties with their family early on, I'm afraid their family would have been framed by such evil officials.

One of the reasons why his family wrote to him was that he hoped that he would keep the eldest son of his retainer by his side in the future.

Descendants of loyal men! Yin De agreed at that time.

The memories ended and there was a long silence.

Yin De can make two thousand stones, but he is not completely mediocre. He asked: "I just want to ask you, was it Yuan Benchu ​​who asked you to make this matter bigger?"

"Of course! I said I was resigning at first, but in fact I was angry because I was dismissed because I opposed the emperor!" Xu You said without changing his expression.

Yin De hesitated again.

After a long time, he asked: "How much does Zang Ba know?"

After all, Yin De did not dare to attack Xu You. He was afraid that Xu You would use the Yuan family's power to have a backup plan.

Moreover, Xu You was charged with treason. Yinde looked at the new emperor's attitude towards amnesty and believed that Xu You would never be pardoned in his life. Such an unworthy person is not worthy of risking the lives of his entire family.

Xu You said: "I used a pseudonym when I met Zang Ba. I pretended to be a member of the Chen family in Xiapi. With a little trickery, he believed me."

Yinde was shocked by Xu You's boldness. The Chen family in Xiapi only produced a Sangong Chen Qiu more than ten years ago. Among other things, Chen Gui, the Prime Minister of Pei State not far from here, came from this Chen family.

How dare he?

After asking this question in his mind, Yin De suddenly realized that Xu You was a rebel, so what was he afraid of!

Yin De was more afraid of Xu You.

He said coldly: "After today, the past is over, and you and I are strangers. If you are arrested by officials under my rule in the future, I will never show mercy!"

Xu You snorted coldly and left quickly.

After leaving the private house, he still kept walking, because most of his confidence was just an act.

His connection with Yuan Shao was real, but Yuan Shao only let him cause minor disturbances. It was his own initiative to expand the rebellion in Qingzhou. With his current reputation, how could the Yuan family turn against the Yin family because of him who didn't even have a clan?
