Chapter 263: Treat the nobles with kindness and the common people with violence

"Brother."

"Um?!"

".Dong Xiang"

Dong Min, who was granted the title of Marquis of Hu and promoted to the rank of General of the Left, addressed Dong Zhuo affectionately as usual. However, he never expected that as soon as the word "brother" came out of his mouth, he would be greeted by Dong Zhuo's fierce eyes. Out of respect for Dong Zhuo, he immediately changed his words to "Prime Minister Dong". Only then did Dong Zhuo retract his gaze, smile slightly, and nod slowly with satisfaction.

"Shuying, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Prime Minister Dong, there is something I don't understand." Dong Min was indignant. "Prime Minister Dong, you and I clearly occupy Luoyang, and even the emperor has to treat you with courtesy. Where does Gai Xun get the courage to challenge you openly?!!! Is this a defiance? It's clearly a slap in the face of my Dong family! Isn't it too easy for Gai Xun to just go to jail?! In my opinion, he should be caned 80 times!"

"Fool!"

Dong Zhuo's mouth twitched, and he immediately shouted at Dong Min. This sudden shouting made Dong Min stunned. He didn't understand where he was wrong. What's the problem? Even if the soldiers who contradicted him in the army were punished, he was considered merciful.

Scolding Dong Zhuo was not enough. He pointed at Dong Min's nose and said, "You bastard! What do you know? Where is He Jin's body still buried? He Jin used violence, I used kindness! Not only can I not punish Gai Xun, I will also apologize to him!"

Dong Min lowered his head after being scolded.

"Prime Minister Dong, I know I was wrong."

"Humph"

Dong Zhuo waved his sleeves and turned to walk towards the Forbidden City.

Dong Min came back to his senses and hurriedly called out
"Prime Minister Dong, wait a minute! Where are you going?!"

Dong Zhuo frowned slightly, "Although I am the Prime Minister, I am also in charge of the Shangshu affairs. Naturally, I will go to the Forbidden City to share your worries."

"Share the worries."

Let alone others, even Dong Min didn't believe such an excuse. What connection could there be between recording the affairs of the Shangshu and going to the Forbidden City?

As we all know, the Three Dukes of the Han Dynasty had long become honorary positions, and the actual power had long been divided. Only one of the Three Dukes who was also the Recorder of the Secretariat was considered to have real power, such as Huo Guang during the reign of Emperor Xiao Zhao, and He Jin before that, who was the Generalissimo and the Recorder of the Secretariat.

According to Dong Min's understanding, the Recorder of the Secretariat should be in charge of the Secretariat. He thought his brother clearly wanted to cause chaos in the harem!

"Shuying, what on earth do you want to talk to me about?" Dong Zhuo seemed a little impatient.

Dong Min hurriedly said, "Prime Minister Dong, Wen You has been waiting in the Prime Minister's residence for a long time and seems to have something important to discuss! So I hurried over here!"

"Is it a big deal?"

Looking at the scarred palace walls, Dong Zhuo naturally knew that behind the wall was a palace that contained the wealth of the world. The decorations and furnishings inside were so gorgeous that he could not forget them, and the women inside were even more beautiful that made him linger!

"After all, it was Wenyou who was looking for me."

"It must be something big."

"call"

Dong Zhuo let out a breath and retracted his greedy gaze with difficulty.

He turned and walked towards Dong Min, gritting his teeth and said

"go!"

The news that Dong Zhuo did not punish Gai Xun spread quickly, and the officials in the court breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought that Dong Zhuo was a military man from Liang Province and behaved rudely, but they did not expect that he had a kind side. It seemed that he was not as terrible as He Jin. In short, such an insult to the emperor and an act of usurpation could not be let go.

In a corner that Dong Zhuo's soldiers had never noticed, several figures were sneaking around.
"Have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"The Grand Master has told us not to surrender to the thief Dong."

"How can we, the scholars, surrender to the traitor Dong? Just tell me, what should we do?"

"Of course it's to trip him up. We can't let Dong get away with it. We should take this opportunity to accumulate strength."

"Good" The houses outside Luoyang City were not as peaceful and stable as those inside the city. There were countless cavalrymen on horseback, and soldiers with knives were common. They kicked open the doors of the people's houses with a fierce smile, and faced the shivering people, shaking their cold swords, showing their rotten teeth, and said viciously:
"Do you want to test the sharpness of my sword? Hand over the money now!"

"General, I have no money. I just sent someone away. Now I really have no money!"

"Bah, bad luck!" The soldier with the knife spat fiercely on the ground. Suddenly, he saw a pottery jar displayed in the corner of the wall.

The haggard-looking Qianshou ignored his crying wife and held the pottery jar tightly with both hands. He cried:

"General, those are seeds, not money!"

The soldier was furious. He kicked Qian Shou to the ground and snatched the pottery jar. "Fuck you! What's more important, the seed or your life?! Give it to me!"

When the soldier opened the pottery jar, he saw that it was indeed corn seeds. His interest immediately faded and he felt that he was really unlucky. He looked around to see if there was anything that could make up for his loss.

Qianshou's crying wife caught his attention. Although the woman was a little thinner, she was still not bad.

A greedy look rose in his eyes, "Is this your wife? Fine, fine, let me make you feel comfortable first!"

Hearing this, the Qianshou, who had finally gotten up, fell to his knees again, crying out in tears:
"General, my wife has been pregnant for three months! Please be merciful, be merciful!"

"Pah!" The soldier's eyes were filled with irritation. He spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, grabbed the leader's collar, and said angrily: "It's your blessing that the Lord has taken a fancy to you!"

"Do you really want my knife to see blood?!"

Even with spittle spurting on Qianshou's face, he was still begging desperately.

This made the soldiers even more angry.

Seeing the knife was about to fall, Qianshou's legs trembled with fear and he closed his eyes in terror.

However, at this moment, a loud shout rang in the ears of several people.
"stop!!!"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and was dazed for a moment. The person behind him approached him quickly, and then he felt a pain in his elbow, as if his hand was strangled by a terrifying beast!

He looked in pain.

"That's enough. Give them the seeds back."

Who is this person?

The soldier was filled with horror. He swallowed mouthfuls of saliva and turned his head with difficulty. What he saw was a tall and burly general in armor.

"Kang Dang"

The soldier dropped his weapon and forced a flattering smile.

"General Duan Duan Duan"

General Duan's full name was Duan Wei, and he was from the same clan as Xinfeng County Marquis Duan Xing.

This gentleman was different from other generals in the army. He never took the lead in looting the people. Even Prime Minister Dong praised him for his loyalty and reliability.

"I'll say it again, return the seeds." Duan Wei said with a frown.

"Zhizhi knows"

The soldier uttered a cry, then shrank his neck and stuffed the pottery jar back into Qianshou's hand.

Looking at the people who were thanking him profusely, Duan Wei could only sigh helplessly. Dong Zhuo had done him a favor, and he could not persuade Dong Zhuo to stop looting. After all, a great victory and plundering the people's wealth was the only way for them to reward their generals.

He walked out the door, mounted his horse, and found generals one after another.

"The Prime Minister has ordered us to stop looting for now and gather at the Prime Minister's residence!"
