() Luoyang City, as the capital of the Han Dynasty, is the most prosperous metropolis in the world, with a population of 60 to 60.Among the population of [-] million, there are naturally many high-ranking officials and dignitaries who have privileges that ordinary people rarely have, but more are ordinary people.

As the population increased, local governance became a problem, so the imperial court set up Zhijinwu here to guard the place so that Xiaoxiao would not dare to do evil, but this only played a certain role in management. For a metropolis with a large population, this manpower is far from enough.

And more importantly, there are many dignitaries in Luoyang City like dogs. People with official status and titles are naturally not under the supervision of Jinwu. Sometimes they even use the power of the government to attack ordinary people in order to gain their own interests. This is even more important. It is to make the people dare to be angry and dare not speak out.

In the Han Dynasty, the distance between the upper and the lower was even more distinct. After being oppressed by the powerful, the common people dared not even file a complaint.Those who are forced to go to the government to sue the dignitaries in a hurry often end up miserable.As time goes by, the conflict between the two parties has deepened, and the balance can only be maintained temporarily because nothing that ignites the conflict has occurred.

And just a few months ago, after the chaos of the ten permanent servants, some people who had been angry for a long time did some things that they would not dare to do in the past. died in the turmoil.In this regard, when the officials and the emperor returned to the court, they also thought about investigating in detail, but in the end there was no evidence to prove it, so they had to let it go.

And when Dong Zhuo's army entered Luoyang, the law and order here was a little bit better than before. Only these Xiliang soldiers dared to commit crimes, and the others were frightened by his military power and did not dare to make mistakes.So this period of time can be regarded as the most peaceful few months in Luoyang City.But just after a few months of calm, a sudden incident shocked everyone.

This was the second day of late September. Early in the morning, at the gate of the yamen where Jin Wu was originally in charge, there were three men in ragged clothes kowtowing, saying that they had grievances.This quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding people, and a large circle of people surrounded the gate of the entire yamen in an instant, and everyone was very puzzled about what was going on.

You must know that since Ding Yuan of Bingzhou was defeated by Dong Zhuo, his official position of holding Jinwu no longer existed in the court. Only a general under Dong Zhuo was in charge of the Yamen, but he did not adjudicate cases as before.But I didn't expect that someone would come to complain today. Don't they know what happened here?

But something that shocked the people even more happened soon. The yamen, which hadn't done much business recently, was actually opened. A sergeant in a battle jacket came out and invited the three of them in. At the same time, he opened the door The door of convenience allows those curious people to go in to hear the trial, which is really confusing, and I don't know what kind of style the general inside is playing.

After a long while, just above the yamen lobby, many people who went in to watch the theater knew a fact that they could hardly believe - the three people who knelt at the yamen gate early in the morning, the accusation was actually The Yuan family, the head of the court officials, sued them for the serious case of grabbing land and killing people.

What shocked everyone even more was that the one standing above the main hall of Jinwu who interrogated those common people was not the familiar officials in the past, but a young man in blue clothes instead, which made everyone Everyone couldn't help wondering whether this person was qualified to judge the case.But the young man ignored the discussions among the people in the auditorium, listened carefully to the narration of the three people, and then turned his eyes to the soldiers standing on the left and right: "You guys go to Yuan's house, and those who broke the law Bring me the evil slave of the Yuan family!"

"Yes!" But the soldiers standing under the hall obviously did not have the same suspicion as the common people. After the boy gave the order, they immediately agreed, and immediately retreated.

Immediately, the people who were watching the trial were not calm. They didn't care that this place was still in the lobby of the government, so they began to discuss: "Do you think this is true? When will the government return?" Taking care of the grievances of our little people, how dare you go against the majestic Taifu Yuan's family?"

"I can't say for sure, maybe I just want to put on a show? After all, it has always been the practice for officials and officials to protect each other. Even if these generals are from Xiliang now, it is impossible to offend the Yuan family for the sake of us little people?"

"Yeah, maybe he didn't know how powerful the Yuan family is, so he dared to do this. Presumably after a while, he will drive us all out of the Yamen, and then convict the three people who dared to sue the Yuan family?"

"Hey, who says it's not, what a crime..."

The voices of the common people were clearly heard by Ma Yue, who sat high in the hall, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart. It seemed that the status of the judicial office of the Han Dynasty was too low in the hearts of the common people. It is necessary to change everyone's concept and let those rich and powerful who will take crimes as usual know that there is a price to be paid for breaking the law.

Although this may be a bit unfavorable to self-reliance in the future, Ma Yue does not regret finally taking over this task, because everything he does is beneficial to the people!

?????

Ever since Yuan Kai rejected Dong Zhuo's idea of ​​abolishing the emperor and setting up a new one, the Yuan family has been planning for the worst.For these barbarians from Xiliang, they still dare not treat them as normal officials fighting, maybe he will send troops to attack Yuan's family forcibly at any time.

However, Yuan Kai is not too worried about this. After all, his Yuan family is not comparable to other families. Even in Luoyang City, there are nearly a thousand servants. The Yuan family mansion is even taller and stronger. Time.Moreover, he firmly believed that the imperial court and the people of Luoyang would not sit back and watch their Yuan family suffer, and someone would definitely come to help, so why should they be afraid of a mere Dong Zhuo?

But the Yuan family had been preparing for several days, but there was no movement at Dong Zhuo's side.This made everyone a little more relaxed, thinking that Dong Zhuo had no choice but to hold back after realizing that there was nothing he could do.

But just after this feeling came up, several Xiliang soldiers came to the door this morning.They went straight into Yuan's mansion without being notified, and they didn't get stopped until they entered the second courtyard: "Who are you, you dare to trespass into Yuan's mansion, you really don't know what to do!"

Those Xiliang soldiers didn't take this threat seriously at all. After a contemptuous smile, they took out a document with a big seal and threw it on the steward of the Yuan family who led someone to block their way: "Order I am here to invite Yuan Zhong, Yuan Cheng, Yuan Xin, Yuan Yi and Yuan Ren to reply to Jin Wu for questioning." The person in charge is Ma Yue's most trusted Wang Feng, since Ma Yue wants to do this, he naturally Then he became the role of vanguard.

"Huh?" The steward was surprised when he heard that he was here to take these five capable members of the Yuan family.Looking at the official document in his hand, it was really stamped with the official seal of Zhi Jinwu, which was obviously a formal official document of the imperial court, which made him even more surprised: "I don't know what these five people have committed, but they want to work hard for you to come here to help each other." please?"

"The evil they have done has been discovered, and now someone is suing them." Wang Feng replied with a sneer: "Hurry up and let the five of them come out and follow us back, or they will resist arrest, and then don't blame us." Troops are sent into the house to search for people!"

"What?" Hearing that someone sued the five of them, the steward of the Yuan family became a little angry: "Then who is accusing them of evil, but ordinary people?"

"Of course, with their humble identities, they dare to bully ordinary people!"

"Since when did Zhi Jinwu take care of such things? This has never been precedent..." The steward became even more annoyed when he heard it.What is the status of their Yuan family, someone dares to sue their people for evil, and what is especially abominable is that Zhi Jinwu actually sent someone to arrest him, this is really unreasonable!

It's a pity that his anger was nothing to the soldiers in front of him. They just said: "We are just doing business. If you have any objections, you can go to the yamen to talk to our general. Now, We are only here to take people, and please hand them over first!" This time the word please has been changed to a more obvious word.

"Wait, I'm going to call out the five people." The steward suddenly realized that these people were not the soldiers and horses in Luoyang City in the past, and his threatening words had no effect on them. Yes, he had no choice but to rush to the back to ask the old men of the Yuan family for instructions.

After a while, this news was known by everyone in Yuan's family, and many people were not angry after hearing it: "It's really unreasonable, a small executive Jinwu Yamen dares to come to my Yuan's house to arrest people, if people If we hand it over to them, how will we save our face?"

"That's right, this person must not be handed over to them! He Dong Zhuo didn't dare to get angry when he was treated like this by the Patriarch before. This time it's no big deal for us to reject them."

Hearing such self-righteous words from his own children and nephews, Yuan Kai showed a wry smile on his face.Others may just think that this will damage the prestige of the Yuan family in Luoyang, but he, an old bureaucrat who has spent his whole life fighting in the court and dealing with various intrigues, has already seen it from this matter. The opponent's vicious side.

The incident this time was by no means isolated, it was Dong Zhuo's counterattack against him after several days of silence.This matter may seem trivial, but it could easily lead to catastrophe. Once he refuses to hand over people, Dong Zhuo will have a good reason to attack Yuan's family. Impossible to speak for them.

What's even more frightening is that even if the Yuan family succumbed and handed over the person, the matter would not stop there.Leaving aside the fact that these five people fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo, he would find out how many things were not good for the Yuan family. Just such a representative beginning is enough to give a reminder to the people of Luoyang: now they can sue the officials. , You can return the grievances you suffered in the past!

And the Yuan family, as the most powerful family in Luoyang City over the years, has committed a lot of crimes. As long as someone dares to sue, it will be enough for them to pay a heavy price.Dong Zhuo can use this to throw everyone in the Yuan family into prison.

What made Yuan Kai feel even more chilling was that although he had seen all this clearly, he couldn't cope with Dong Zhuo's sudden move.No matter whether you hand it over or not, the final result is the same. This is not a conspiracy at all, but a conspiracy that cannot be resolved even if people know about it!
