Han Dynasty Achievements

Chapter 27 Hanging on the City Gate

He Jin hurried to the front yard and saw Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and eleven others being forced to kneel side by side in the yard.

They all had their hair hanging down and their bodies covered in blood. They didn't have any breath at all, and looked like they were dead. They were in a terrible state!

It is totally impossible to tell that just a few days ago, he was the most honored and noble Chang Shilang!

The flesh on He Jin's face twitched continuously, murderous intent emanated from his body, and his right hand involuntarily grasped his sword.

He had tossed and turned for many sleepless days and nights, dreaming of killing these people with his own hands, and now, these people were kneeling in front of him!

Unbearable memories emerged in He Jin's mind. His eyes were filled with coldness, his chest heaved, and he was about to draw his sword with gritted teeth.

Chen Lin watched from the side and felt inexplicably frightened.

The Twelve Eunuchs, who once made General He Jin helpless and even forced to bow his head, ended up like this in the blink of an eye?

One day in heaven, one day in hell!

Seeing He Jin's appearance, Pan Yin calmly stepped forward, handed over the "list of followers", and said, "General, His Majesty ordered me to give these eleven people and this list of followers to you."

He Jin's eyes widened as he stared at the document in Pan Yin's hand. With a sullen face, he let go of his sword and took the list that Pan Yin handed over.

"I'll take my leave." Pan Yin stepped back when he saw He Jin take it.

He Jin was distracted and ignored Pan Yin. After Pan Yin left, he opened the list with red eyes.

He didn't look closely, but estimated the number first, and his expression changed immediately: "Why is it so little?!"

Chen Lin glanced at it from the side and understood it.

The emperor in the palace is obviously very sober and will not really "uproot" the Twelve Attendants and sit back and watch the world fall into chaos!

"Giving these eleven attendants to He Jin should be a means of appeasing He Jin." Chen Lin thought to himself.

The flesh on He Jin's face was as hard as iron. He was filled with anger. He threw the list to Chen Lin and shouted in a deep voice, "Kong Zhang!"

Chen Lin quickly took it and glanced at it quickly.

On this list, let alone those big shots, the highest level involved is only the Nine Ministers, and there is not a single one at the level of the Three Dukes. There is not even a single name on the list of governors, provincial governors, and generals with military power outside the capital!

Chen Lin knew it well, and looked at He Jin calmly and asked, "What is the general going to do?"

He Jin was on the verge of exploding, his face was full of ferocity, and he said, "Of course we must eradicate them completely, leaving no one alive!"

Chen Lin shook his head secretly. It is easier said than done to eradicate it completely.

Which of the people involved in the eunuch party could be simple? If they were slightly involved, they would either be from a prestigious family or hold a large number of troops. Not to mention so many at once, how could a single one be dealt with with just a word?

Chen Lin saw through everything, but He Jin obviously didn't see that much. He sighed in his heart, but he couldn't bear it after all, so he persuaded him: "General, the Twelve Eunuchs have been forming a clique for many years, and they are intertwined. There are too many people colluding with them. We can't eradicate them all at once. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, so it's not appropriate to set up a large prison. It's better to wait until after Your Majesty's coronation ceremony before making a long-term plan!"

"Think long term!"

He Jin roared, clenched his sword tightly, and shouted: "At this time, what else can you do? With me here, what is there to fear? Even if there is no list, I know it in my heart! Come, drag these eunuchs out, chop them up for me, and hang them above the palace gate!"

Chen Lin's heart sank. Was it going to be chopped off just like that?

This is the Palace's permanent official. Why didn't you find someone to discuss this? Why didn't you ask for permission from the Palace? Why did you just chop it off so arbitrarily? And even left it hanging above the palace gate?!

"Yes!"

The servants of the General's Mansion rushed over and dragged Zhang Rang and others out.

Zhang Rang and others had been severely tortured and now had almost no reaction as they were dragged out.

He Jin stood in the yard, watching these people being dragged away. He felt extremely happy, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was extremely ferocious.

Chen Lin felt his scalp tingling.

Eleven of the Twelve Eunuchs were beheaded outside the General's Mansion, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire Luoyang City!

Countless people started to panic, and the huge city of Luoyang was suddenly alarmed.

Tingwei Mansion.

Xuan Fan, the court judge, was looking at a case file. When he heard the news, he dropped the pen in his hand. He stood up in shock and stared at the clerk in front of him and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

The clerk not far in front of him said, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The body was hung outside the Suzaku Gate. Everyone saw it."

Xuan Fan sat back down, his face as pale as paper.

The clerk stepped forward and asked, "Tingwei, what's wrong with you?"

Xuan Fan shook his head desperately, his whole body trembling, and suddenly stood up again, saying, "By the way, is Yuan Shao still in prison?"

The clerk was a little puzzled and said, "Yes, according to the instructions of the court judge, we have good food and drink."

Xuan Fan raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his head and said, "No, that's not right. What did the Third Lord say?"

The clerk said, "Many of them have suddenly closed their houses, and the clansmen have been called back, and no one is seeing anyone."

Xuan Fan's face turned paler and paler. He turned his head and looked around. After a long while, he said, "Go and check again. If you have any news, tell me immediately!"

The clerk vaguely thought of something, responded and turned and ran out.

Xuan Fan sat on the chair, his neck shrunk, his body cold, his eyes flickering, and he muttered to himself: "Misfortune, misfortune..."

Just as the clerk said, the heads of Zhang Rang and others were hung on the top of the Zhuque Gate.

I don’t know how many people were watching and whispering.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"In just a few days, the eunuch party that brought disaster to the country and the people was eradicated, and the revival of our great Han Dynasty is in sight!"

"My emperor is wise..."

"All eunuchs are gone, and all the gentlemen return to the court!"

For Liu Bian, who had just ascended the throne and was still very unfamiliar to most people, he invisibly welcomed wave after wave of reputation.

At the same time, Yuan Shu, who took office as the Inspector of the Imperial Capital, summoned a group of his old subordinates, as well as the sons of high-ranking families in Luoyang City, and constantly deployed troops and generals, deploying them throughout the entire Luoyang City. He even directly sealed off the city, allowing no one to enter but not leave.

The news that "General He Jin wants to kill the eunuch party's followers" spread like wildfire, and there was a lot of noise, and several well-known lists were circulated.

For a time, Luoyang City was in a state of panic, and every tree and grass looked like an enemy.

The relatively quiet area is inside the palace.

In Jingfu Palace, Jian Shuo stood respectfully outside the door of Liu Bian's study.

Liu Bian sat upright at the desk, holding a pen, with a focused expression, practicing writing stroke by stroke.

Today's fonts are very large, and most of them are pictographic characters. Liu Bian was not used to writing them and it took a lot of effort for his arms to write them.

Jian Shuo looked up from time to time, occasionally glancing behind him, feeling anxious.

Of the Twelve Eunuchs, eleven had their heads hung at the Suzaku Gate. How could he, the only one left, not be terrified?

But Liu Bian did not move at all and just practiced calligraphy quietly, which made Jian Shuo like an ant on hot pan, but he had to force himself to remain calm and pretend nothing had happened.

Pan Yin came in from outside, glanced at Jian Shuo, then went in and whispered a few words to Liu Bian.

Liu Bian kept writing, his expression as usual, and said: "Hanging it on the top of the Suzaku Gate? The general is doing this for the world to see..."
