The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Ma Yue guessed the other party's request at once, and said with a smile: "Does Yuan Taifu want me to promise not to hurt the lives of those two Yuan family children? I can promise you this, after all, their identities are different from ordinary Servants are different, even though they have done a lot of evil, they will not be killed just like that. As for the names of these two people, I have mentioned them before, they are Yuan Fang and Yuan Yue."

"It's actually the two of them..." Yuan Kai sighed inwardly. These two are considered talented among the Yuan family's children. Although they are not as good as the Yuan Shao brothers, they are also the future pillars of the Yuan family. Now they have to sacrifice them to protect their own family. , which made him very unwilling.But when things got to this point, he was helpless, so he nodded: "Okay, I'll let them go back with you later, I hope Mr. Ma can keep his promise and don't do anything that hurts both." This is a reminder Ma Yue, their Yuan family has not yet reached the point of letting anyone kill them.

Ma Yue nodded in agreement, and then seemed to say unintentionally: "Actually, this time, besides not wanting to disappoint the people, the more important reason for me to attack the Yuan family is because of some rumors that have been circulated in Luoyang City recently. Ever heard of it?"

"What rumor?" Yuan Kai's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Ma Yue smiled and said: "That's because someone is making a big deal out of it, saying that I have been targeting the Yuan family only to achieve a certain purpose. Now that the purpose has been achieved, the Yuan family will naturally be fine. But the people are skeptical about this statement, I have been arguing around the yamen for several days, so I will come to ask for someone today."

"What?" Yuan Kai had been bedridden for the past few days, so he really didn't know there was such a saying in Luoyang City, and his expression changed immediately.This is obviously trying to harm Yuan's family. Who came up with this vicious method?He couldn't help but look back at Yuan An beside him, and asked, "Yuan An, why didn't you report to me when such a big event happened?"

"This..." Yuan An opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to tell the truth of the matter, so he could only say: "This old slave was negligent for a while, and I ask the Patriarch to punish him!"

After all, he was a master and servant who had been together for many years, and he obviously couldn't hide his thoughts from Yuan Kai, which made the latter frown again.But after all, there is Ma Yue, an outsider here, so he didn't ask any more questions, just snorted, and looked at Ma Yue again: "Mr. Ma, I hope this is the last time you come to ask for someone."

"I hope so too. As long as the Yuan family can behave themselves in Luoyang in the future and do not do anything illegal and disciplined, I will not come to trouble you again. Leave it to me, so I can go back and do things, so as to give an explanation to the people. Otherwise, the people waiting outside will be a little impatient." As soon as Ma Yue said the words, there was a burst of noise outside. The drum noise seemed to match his words.Apparently, the people waiting outside were worried and anxious seeing the horse not coming out for a long time.

"Yuan An, go out with Mr. Ma, and hand over Yuan Fang and Yuan Yue...to him to take away!" In the end, Yuan Kai gave such orders, while he himself sat on the seat, motionless.

Ma Yue got up immediately, and after bowing his hands to Yuan Kai, he turned and left the hall.Yuan Kai looked at the back of him leaving, his face was blue and white, and he tried his best to control his breathing so that he would not cough anymore.Because he knew very well that after this confrontation, his illness became a little more serious. Now that he coughed, he might cough up blood. He didn't want to vomit blood and show his shame in front of this person, so he had to hold it back desperately.

Hearing the heavy panting vaguely from the person behind him, a sneer appeared on the corner of Ma Yue's mouth.He knew very well that after this incident, the Yuan family's prestige in Luoyang City would plummet, and they would completely lose their status in the past. Of course, there was no need for him to attack them again.As for the guy named Yuan Shao among them, no matter whether he regards himself as an enemy or not, without this layer of halo, he is no longer a big threat.

When Ma Yue and the others walked out of the door, the people waiting outside couldn't help cheering.They were really worried that something might happen to Ma Yue inside, and now seeing him walking out safely with a smile on his face, as if he was sure of victory, everyone felt a burst of joy.

In contrast, it was the atmosphere of the Yuan family.After listening to Yuan An's explanation of the Patriarch's meaning, everyone's faces showed indignation and disbelief, and the two involved, Yuan Fang, shouted loudly: "This is impossible, how could uncle hand us over to us?" They, this must be the meaning of your false biography of uncle! No, we will never go with him!"

Because of what happened to the servants of the Yuan family before, Yuan Fang and Yuan Yue certainly didn't want to send themselves into hell, so they tried their best to deny all of this.But Ma Yue didn't give them time to make a decision at all, and with a wave of his hand, he gave an order to the soldiers below: "Take Yuan Fang and Yuan Yue down!"

Immediately, more than 20 sergeants rushed forward like tigers catching sheep, and held down the two who were still struggling and talking in a few strokes.Immediately, the wrist-thick hemp rope wrapped around their bodies, binding them tightly.When all this was happening, the members of the Yuan family did not dare to step forward to stop it, because Yuan An had passed on Yuan Kai's intentions, and even though they dared to be an enemy of the government, they did not dare to disobey the wishes of the Patriarch.

"Let go of me, I..." When the two were about to say something more, the sergeants stuffed a ball of rags into their mouths, making them speechless, and there was only whining It also came from their mouths.

But all the people were stunned when they saw that the two young masters of the Yuan family had been taken down.Although they wanted to seek justice for themselves, they never thought that there would be such an ending. The two young masters of the Yuan family who used to be aloof were suddenly imprisoned. This had a great impact on them.But soon, all the people came back to their senses, and immediately let out waves of cheers, and many of them burst into tears. They knew that their revenge would soon be avenged.

Afterwards, another ten or so servants of the Yuan family were taken out, but at this time, everyone did not pay attention to this point.Even their master was tied up, so it would be normal to tie up a few more servants.Just when Ma Yue was about to take his people away, Yuan An took a step forward, as if reminding and threatening: "Mr. Ma, please remember the promise I made before... If the two young masters are in your hands If something goes wrong, our Yuan family will do whatever it takes to get justice back."

Ma Yue smiled softly: "Of course I can save this point, so I don't need to remind you." Then he got on his horse and left with many high-spirited people escorting more than a dozen Yuan family members.

Behind him, everyone in the Yuan family was full of indignation and unwillingness, but they were helpless...

?????

After Ma Yue brought him back to the Yamen, he immediately interrogated Yuan Fang and others.Although he had promised that he would not kill Yuan Fang and the others without permission, he did not promise not to torture them.

But Yuan Fang and the two had never been threatened like this before. After seeing those blood-stained instruments of torture, their whole bodies immediately became weak, and they no longer had the previous arrogance.Faced with Ma Yue's cross-examination and the complaints of the sufferer, they dared not deny it at all, and admitted all the crimes.

Murder, seizure of property, land grabbing, domineering girls... all the cases have been verified, and the charges of the two have been accumulated bit by bit.In fact, if it were an ordinary person, these crimes alone would be enough to cause them to die dozens of times, but because they were members of the powerful and the Yuan family, although these crimes were very serious, they could not be dismissed because of this. Killed them.

After Ma Yue cross-examined everything, at noon three days later, in front of the Luoyang people who rushed over, he severely beat Yuan Fang's brothers with fifty boards each, and then tied them to the Yamen. Oral publicity.In this way, the two of them really lose face, and the punishment is probably heavier than killing them.

After this incident, Ma Yue's reputation of not being afraid of the powerful and daring to make decisions for the people has been completely established.It turned out that the common people still had suspicions of one kind or another, thinking that Ma Yue's previous actions were just instigated by others.But after this action against Yuan Fang, these voices all disappeared. Everyone believed that Ma Yue was a person who truly cared for the people, and his reputation suddenly rose.Although this is not very useful for Ma Yue to become an official, it is exactly what he wants.

After receiving the order from Dong Zhuo to deal with the Yuan family, Ma Yue has already started to change his strategy.Before that, he always wanted to keep a low profile so that he would not be too involved when Dong Zhuo was defeated.But after taking over the task, it was impossible for this idea to come true, so Ma Yue simply did the opposite and made himself famous.

Although doing so will make many dignitaries see him as a thorn in the side, but Ma Yue, who knows that the world will soon be chaotic, said that these grasshopper-like figures after autumn are really not a threat.As long as the common people can accept that he is an official who cares for the people, then he will have enough money to recruit soldiers in the future when chaos arises, thus formally establishing a firm foothold in troubled times.

Everything was developing as Ma Yue expected. After Yuan's family fell into such misfortune, many dignitaries have restrained a lot, and the law and order in Luoyang City has improved a lot.What Ma Yue didn't expect was that not only did he become famous in this matter, but also an unexpected good thing came to him because of this.

One day in mid-October, Situ Wangyun suddenly sent someone to send an invitation, inviting Ma Yue to come to the mansion the next day to talk...
