The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

As soon as the letter came out, the county hall shook.

In the various courtyards where the Cao Cao of the prefecture resided, the officials were either surprised or delighted, shocked or appalled.

Every official had no interest in the official duties at hand. Some gathered to discuss Xun Zhen's arraignment, while others were hesitant to walk closer to Ye Zhao. For a while, there was an uproar in the prefecture.

Many county officials flocked to the Gong Cao Academy to find Wang Cong.

Gong Cao is the one with the highest status among the five officials under the prefect of the county and county, and the most powerful one among the county officials. In other words, for the county officials, Wang Cong is their backbone, so I came here at this time. Looking for Wang Cong is the most normal.

As the head of the Gongcao Academy, Wang Cong naturally had a separate room for his office. Although the room was not small, it could not accommodate dozens of people. The twenty or so county officials who came to him recommended four. Five "highly esteemed" people came into the room.

One of them had a good personal relationship with Wang Cong. When he came to the room, the man looked up and saw that Wang Cong was sitting behind the case with his chest upright, unhurriedly sorting out the papers on the case. He was impatient and angry. Said: "Your Majesty! What time is it, you are still as stable as Mount Tai!"

Wang Cong glanced at him, then looked at the other people who had followed this person into the room, and then looked into the courtyard outside, but turned a blind eye to the many county officials crowded in the courtyard. As if he hadn't heard the clamor of these county officials, he continued to pack up the papers and said casually, "Why are you so alarmed?"

Xun You personally announced Xun Zhen's arrest and extermination of Ye Zhao, and all the officials in the county government knew about it. "Your Majesty, it's about time! Don't pretend to be confused! I don't believe you didn't know that the lord of the government issued a letter to arrest Ye Zhao!" He stretched out his hand and pointed to the courtyard, "Cao in your courtyard. The officials already know about it, look at what the chaos is like? ... You don't know?"

Not only the outside county officials, but also the officials from the main court of the Gongcao Academy, gathered in the courtyard of the Gongcao Academy.

"Oh! That's what you're talking about."

"Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter! The lord of the government is confused. As a meritorious officer, you should go and persuade the lord of the government immediately!"

"Advice for what?"

"Ye Zhao is from the family of Zhao Changshi, and the lord of the house is so reckless and reckless that he will definitely anger Zhao Changshi... Once Zhao Changshi gets angry? Prince, not only can the head of the lord be guaranteed, I am afraid you and I will also be unable to escape. It's a crime!"

This person was really in a hurry, and he didn't choose what to say. He actually said that Xun Zhen was confused, and that Xun Zhen didn't know the seriousness.

Wang Cong was still unhurried, but looked up at the man again.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!" The man took three steps and took two steps, rushing to Wang Cong's case, trying to stop him from continuing to clean up the papers.

Wang Cong pushed his hand away and said, "You say that the ruler is stupid, and you say that the ruler is reckless. Let me ask you, can you see where Shang Zhuzhu, Luan Ye, and Huo Ye are?"

"Shang Zhuzhu..."

The person recalled carefully that Shang Zheng, Luan Gu, and Huo Heng were not among the terrified county officials, but they did not see any trace of them.

"You don't know where they are now, do you?"

"no idea where it is?"

"I don't know either, but I can guess it."

"My lord! Don't go around, just tell me, where are they now?"

"It must be with Fu-Jun."

"what?"

Wang Cong smiled and said, "Do you still think that the lord of the government is confused, is the lord of the government acting recklessly?"

It's still the master book, that's all.

The key lies in Luan Gu and Huo Heng, one of them is Cao Ye, the county thief, and the other is Cao Ye, the county judge. When it comes to arresting and destroying Ye Zhao, these two institutions are precisely the main force.

Thinking that Xun Zhen had hired Luan Gu and Huo Heng a long time ago, and now that Luan and Huo are missing, they are most likely with Xun Zhen, then it means that Xun Zhen's arrest and extermination of Ye Zhao was not on a whim. Yes, on the contrary, it is determined and moved.

Several county officials in the room looked at each other.

Wang Cong packed up the papers on the case, placed them neatly in piles, stood up according to the case, moved his legs and feet, took off the seal bag hanging on his belt, and put the seal bag again. He also put it on the case, patted the shoulder of the man standing in front of him dumbfounded, and said with a smile, "Liu Jun, don't stand here stupidly, you and I will say goodbye."

"Farewell?"

Wang Cong sighed and said, "As you said, Ye and Zhao cannot be arrested, but I am the cadre of the prefecture, and the lord of the prefecture cannot be disobeyed. In the dilemma, the only option is to resign."

The news of Wang Cong's resignation soon spread to Xun Zhen. It was not only Wang Cong who resigned from his post, but many county officials also resigned along with him, including those who had a good personal relationship with Wang Cong. that person.

From the time Xun You read out the order of Xun Zhen’s arraignment, to the time Xun Zhen personally arranged for Luan Gu, Huo Heng, Jiang Qin, Liu Bei, Cheng Jia, Wei Guang, etc. to capture Ye Zhao, in just half an hour, almost all of the prefectures were already there. less than half.

This shows how powerful the Zhao family in Ye County is. After Xun Zhen arranged for so long, it can be said that most of the officials in the county government were personally selected and appointed by him, but in the end there were not many people who were willing to follow him.

But it is enough to have Luan Gu and Huo Heng. Although it is said that the Cao Cao and Jue Cao are the operational agencies that directly face the arrest of Ye Zhao, these two Cao Li resigned from their posts. The number of county officials is the most, but as long as Luan Gu and Huo Heng are the two Cao Ye, then there is no problem in the procedure of this operation, and it is an official business.

Therefore, after hearing that at least half of the county officials in the county government had resigned from their posts, Xun Zhen was neither angry nor surprised. All of them were put on the matter of arresting Ye Zhao.

"Luan Qing, do you remember what I said just now?"

"remember."

"Okay, Zhao Ran, I'll go catch it myself. The children of Ye Zhao in the county are all up to you and Junchang! ... Junchang, give the list to Luanqing."

Cheng Jia held a roll of bamboo slips and gave it to Luan Gu.

"Everyone on this list must be captured, not one less!"

Luan Gu responded solemnly.

"Huo Qing, you have a lot of officials who gave up their posts in Cao Li. Do you have enough manpower? If not, I can recruit them from righteousness."

Because Yingchuan was an important activity area for Legalists in the pre-Qin period, the scholars in Yingchuan have always emphasized both Confucianism and Law. Ai, Xuankang, Xu Ji and others have all studied the law and are familiar with Han law when they were studying. Although it is said that Xi Zhicai, Xun Cheng, Xin Ai, Xuankang, Xu Ji and others have all returned to Yingyin, but they are not. Because of Xia Houlan, the two hundred righteous left behind today are also quite a few people who have learned the law~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is not a problem to select a few from them.

——Xiahoulan also followed Xu Zhong, Xun Cheng and others to Yingchuan.

According to Xun Zhen's arrangement, he personally took Wei Guang and others in charge of arresting Zhao Ran, Luan Gu and Cheng Jia were in charge of arresting Ye Zhao's children in the city, and Huo Heng did not have to go out to arrest people, his task was to stay behind with Xun You The county government also tried the children of Ye Zhao at the fastest speed, so the fastest speed, that is, as long as the children of Ye Zhao were arrested by Xun Zhen and Luan Gu and sent to the county residence, Huo Heng would immediately interrogate them.

There are hundreds of Ye Zhao children on the list. It can be expected that Huo Heng will have to deal with a huge workload.

However, Huo Heng was confident, pointed to a few boxes at his feet, and replied, "With these real evidences, even if only four or five people were left behind, the Cao Li who judged Cao Li would be enough to judge Ye Zhao's children!"

The box contained all the wrongdoings of Ye Zhao's children who were collected in advance by Cheng Jia, Xun You, Wei Guang, etc. With these evidences, coupled with Jue Cao Li's torture method, Huo Heng was confident.

"Okay!...Bo Qin, where does righteousness come from?"

Jiang Qin put on his armor and pressed his sword, and replied, "According to the order of the lord, half of them will treat each other outside the city gate, and half will treat Luanjue outside the gate of the county."

"Luan Qing, will you and I go here?"

"No!"

Xun Zhen didn't wear any armor, and was still dressed in black. Because today was a big event, he didn't wrap his head casually as usual, but put on a high crown. With a sharp sword, Luan Gu walked out of the hall with a smile.
