The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() After Ma Yue and others brought Dong Huang back to the official office, Wang Feng asked privately: "My lord, how should we deal with this Mr. Dong? Should we let him go, or let us take him to see Dong Zhuo?" It is Ma Yue's confidant like Wang Feng, and he doesn't believe that he can really accuse Dong Juan of any crime, after all, his identity is there.

But Ma Yue waved his hand: "If you don't let him go, you won't hand him over to Dong Zhuo. Take him to the big prison behind and watch him, first kill his arrogance."

"But son, he is Dong Zhuo's nephew after all, so I'm afraid it's wrong to do this?" Wang Feng said with some concern.

"It's okay, I have my own solution, you just do it like this." Ma Yue insisted on his opinion.

Seeing this, Wang Feng had no choice but to do so. He still had great confidence in Ma Yue. Since he dared to do this, he must have something to rely on.Soon, the few of them brought Dong Huang to the cell area behind the yamen, until this time, Dong Huang, who was already very determined, changed his face suddenly.

Although he was ordered by Ma Yue to bring him here, and he listened to Ma Yue's statement that he would deal with the matter in an official manner, but Dong Juan was not worried.Because he thought that in his own capacity, Ma Yue didn't dare to do anything to him, at most he would bring him back from there, and then let him go after saying a few good words.He even thought about how he should treat Ma Yue when he came to apologize to him later.Unexpectedly, after entering this official office, Ma Yue not only did not show up, did not let him go, but also had someone take him to such a gloomy and dirty place, which made Dong Juan feel uneasy.

"You... What are you going to do? I'm Dong Zhongying—the nephew of your lord, how dare you be rude to me?" Up to now, he can only use his uncle's name to scare people.

It's a pity that the Wang Feng and others he faced were only loyal to Ma Yue, even if he used the emperor as an example, it would not help.A few sullen faces just pushed Dong Juan, who wanted to say something more, into the cell with the opened door, and then locked the door and left. They didn't want to waste time chattering with this dude. .

"Don't go, let me out, I don't want to stay here..." Looking at the eerie environment here, Dong Juan's whole body was a little weak, and he yelled loudly: "As long as you are willing to let me go!" , I will definitely let you be promoted, and I, Dong Juan, will do what I say..." But no matter how much he yelled, Wang Feng and the others simply ignored him, and they left the prison area in a blink of an eye.

This time, Dong Juan became even more frightened, and shouted loudly: "Come back, or I will never let you go! My uncle will definitely send someone to rescue me, don't think that this will harm me! Hurry up!" Let me out..." The voice continued to spread in the empty cell area, and bounced off the wall again, forming a heavy echo, which was even more disturbing in the gloomy atmosphere.This made Dong Juan even more frightened, and soon he didn't dare to shout anymore.

However, Dong Juan was right about one thing. Not long after he was imprisoned, a man in armor came to the Zhijinwu yamen. After seeing Ma Yue, he said, "Mr. Take Mr. Dong back."

When Ma Yue looked at the person, he didn't dare to belittle him. This seemingly ordinary man was Dong Zhuo's personal guard, named Dong Jia.This is one of Dong Zhuo's ten closest personal guards. These ten people are named after the heavenly stems, A, B, C, and Ding.But he didn't expect that today he would come to ask for someone, which is enough to see how much Dong Zhuo attaches importance to his nephew.

It's just that Ma Yue didn't intend to hand him over like this, otherwise he wouldn't be able to give an explanation to the people of Luoyang City.Moreover, he also wanted to take this opportunity to make Dong Zhuo understand the importance of the people's hearts, so as to try to avoid the occurrence of that tragic history.So after hearing Dong Jia's words, he shook his head in embarrassment: "General Dong, please forgive me, I can't hand him over to you to take away."

"Why?" Dong Jia frowned.In the past, when he was ordered to act, few people dared to reject him so directly. One must know that he represented Dong Zhuo.

"This...let me explain to him after meeting the lord." Ma Yue immediately made a decision, stood up and said, "I will go to meet the lord with you now."

"...In that case, then follow what Mr. Ma said." Dong Jia hesitated for a while, then agreed with Ma Yue.Although Dong Juan was very important, he also knew Ma Yue's position in front of Dong Zhuo, so naturally he didn't want to have any quarrel with Ma Yue on this matter.

Therefore, Dong Jia did not bring Dong Huang back, but instead brought Ma Yue back to Dong Zhuo's house.He went in first to report everything, while Ma Yue waited outside.After a while, Dong Jia came out: "The lord asked you to go in and answer."

Ma Yue cupped his fists slightly at him, and then strode into the front hall, where Dong Zhuo was dealing with some court affairs.Seeing Ma Yue coming in, Dong Zhuo's thick eyebrows twitched together: "Ma Yue, you are so brave, you dare to arrest my nephew, and you still refuse to let him go, what do you think? do what?"

Ma Yue has been with Dong Zhuo for two years. During these two years, Dong Zhuo has always called him by his first name. This is the first time that he has been called by his first name like today.This allowed Ma Yue to guess that Dong Zhuo was very dissatisfied with him, and even a little angry, so he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Please forgive me, my lord, because this is a big matter. Don’t dare to let people go at will.”

"Tell me, is there any reason for you to act like this and arrest Dong Juan? Isn't it just killing a small untouchable? Does such a trivial matter require such a big fight? Are you really planning to accuse Dong Juan?" What a joke!" Dong Zhuo smiled disdainfully, then stared at Ma Yue's face, waiting for his reply.

When deciding to do this, Ma Yue had already thought of the anger and pressure from Dong Zhuo, so he naturally had a way to deal with it.Seeing Dong Zhuo asking at this moment, he said, "I'm doing this for the sake of my lord's foundation in Luoyang being more solid."

"A mere pariah, I can't see what kind of foundation he is." Dong Zhuo said disdainfully again.

"Of course a commoner is not a foundation, but what if there are commoners like him in the entire Luoyang city?" Ma Yue also let go at this time, looking back at Dong Zhuo and said: "I think the lord should also know the reason why he was here a while ago." What made the Yuan family so embarrassed? Apart from the so-called righteousness and law, what is more important is public opinion. Because public opinion is dissatisfied with the Yuan family, and even thousands of people denounce him, so even if the Yuan family has power for a while, Even if you have a great reputation, you have to stay away from it and dare not fight for the front.

"Nowadays, the public opinion in Luoyang is even more raging. If we don't punish Mr. Dong, the people in Luoyang will be turned against Yingtian. At that time, the foundation of the lord in Luoyang will be gone. And once the internal turmoil, it will definitely give the external enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it. When an enemy like Bingzhou Dingyuan arrives, the city of Luoyang may not be able to hold on.

"That's why Dong Gongzi will be taken down categorically in the next day, so that the people can give an explanation and let them know that the lord is different from those powerful and powerful people in the past. As long as this is known to the people of Luoyang, the whole city of Luoyang will be safe." It will be owned by the lord, and the lord's foundation is really deep and unshakable. I hope the lord can understand this painstaking effort!" After saying this, Ma Yue bowed to the ground again, waiting for Dong Zhuo's response.He believes that with Dong Zhuo's heroic nature, it is impossible not to see the pros and cons, and it depends on how he chooses.

Sure enough, after hearing Ma Yue's words, Dong Zhuo's expression was no longer as disapproving as before, and he fell into deep thought.Ma Yue has already spoken thoroughly, and this public opinion is indeed what he really wants to win.However, if he had to sacrifice his nephew, whom he had always valued, in exchange for these, he would be a little bit reluctant.Moreover, if this will make the people feel a little arrogant, and they will always take the opportunity to make troubles, it will be very bad for him.

"My lord, in fact, I don't want Mr. Dong to pay for it with his life. After all, his status is much higher than that of the people who were killed. The theory of killing people for their lives does not apply to him. As long as he is punished in public and the people are given an explanation , presumably they would not dare to be dissatisfied anymore. It's just that Mr. Dong will suffer some suffering and humiliation, and I dare not make decisions, so I ask the master to show me." Ma Yue explained his meaning again.

After all, this era is not the era of the rule of law, even the later generations of China, in the matter of breaking the law against powerful officials, they are less serious than civilians. Now it is even more impossible to mention that the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people.So Ma Yue had no choice but to take the next best thing, hoping to punish Dong Huang lightly, and then it would serve as a warning.

Dong Zhuo could not accept this.Although he attaches great importance to Dong Juan, compared to his growing ambition, the grievances suffered by this nephew are nothing.After all, he has the ambition to be a hero, so why would he be thrown into chaos because of a family member: "Okay, then I will leave the person to you. You can punish him with a small punishment, but you must not really hurt his life!" In the end Dong Zhuo said commanded.

"Yes, I must handle this matter carefully. Presumably after this matter, Luoyang, and even the people of the world will feel admiration for the lord. After all, there are very few people in the world who dare to be so self-disciplined!" Ma Yue couldn't help it. I praised Dong Zhuo a few words.Because he knew that in this way, Dong Zhuo's attitude towards the common people would change, and perhaps the terrible tragedy could really be reversed.

"Okay, you don't need to say these words. You should hurry up and find a way to make this matter complete for me." Dong Zhuo said with a smile, the previous anger has completely dissipated...
