Han Dynasty Achievements

Chapter 90: Falling into a trap

Outside the west gate.

After receiving Liu Bian's order, Zhang Liao did not ask any reasons, but gathered a thousand men and handed them over to Huangfu Jian.

Huangfu Jian was riding a tall horse, wearing armor, with a stern face and a sword in his hand. He looked at the thousand imperial guards in front of him, trying his best to remain calm, but he felt his heart was about to beat out of his throat.

Shi A was beside him, with his eyes drooping, but he was quite calm and composed.

After a long while, Huangfu Jianchang shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

The imperial guards said nothing. Some rode on horseback, some walked on foot, and quietly left Luoyang City in the dark night.

After walking a long way, Shi Acai said, "I thought you would tell the benefactor, or the eldest son."

Huangfu Jian no longer had his usual playful expression. He looked more serious than ever before, staring ahead quietly, and said, "You also think I can't accomplish anything?"

Shi A looked at his profile and said, "On the contrary, I think if you work hard, you will do better than the eldest master."

Huangfu Jian showed a trace of self-mockery on his face, and said, "Only you would think so."

Shi A shook his head and said, "I am speaking from the heart. I thought you would go to Yanzhou with the benefactor and the eldest son to earn some military merit."

If you follow Huangfu Song to suppress bandits, you will definitely make some contributions.

Huangfu Jian let out a long breath, moved his hot buttocks, and said, "I won't rely on them."

Shi A turned his head and looked forward, saying, "His Majesty sent you to give you a chance. Have you thought about what to do next? This is a great opportunity, and there won't be a second time."

Huangfu Jian secretly gritted his teeth, his face as hard as iron, his eyes blazing, and said, "Do you think I can decide?"

Shi A was a little surprised, and then said: "You are still as smart as ever. I think it is better to follow you than to be my benefactor."

Huangfu Jianchang didn't say anything. In fact, he was unsure and just wanted to do the task at hand well.

At the same time, next to the Imperial Palace, at the Taiwei Mansion.

Dong Zhuo climbed up from the bed, leaving the two pretty girls sobbing.

Dong Zhuo looked very bad, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was trembling, and he felt depressed.

Li Su stood not far from him, trembling with fear, but trying to remain calm.

Dong Zhuo took a knife and vigorously cut the mutton on the table in front of him. He ate it bite by bite and said in a dull tone: "What did Wenhe say?"

In the past, Dong Zhuo trusted Jia Xu more, but he listened to Li Su and drove Jia Xu away and gave him his son-in-law Niu Fu.

Li Su's body stiffened, and he spoke carefully: "Mr. Dong, the letter said that if we can't escape, we should burn our boats and serve the master wholeheartedly."

Dong Zhuo kept stabbing with his knife and then drank heavily.

Li Su looked at Dong Zhuo's expression and was extremely scared. He said with a stiff upper lip: "Mr. Dong, now is not a bad time. The matter of the Yuan family... does not involve Mr. Dong."

Dong Zhuo raised his head, his old face trembled, his eyes widened, and he looked at Li Su expressionlessly.

Li Su's heart suddenly turned cold, and he knelt on the ground, saying urgently: "Mr. Dong, this is really not a critical situation, there is still a lot that can be done!"

Dong Zhuo had thick eyebrows, small eyes, a big nose, thick red lips, and fierce eyes. He said, "I will only give you three days. If you still can't give the gift to the Grand Chamberlain, I will cook you alive!"

Li Su was shaking with fear on his face, and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go right away!"

Without caring about anything else, Li Su knelt down and crawled away quickly.

Dong Zhuo's eyes became even more ferocious, and he thrust the knife in his hand fiercely into the sheep.

"You should be killed!" Dong Zhuo's face was full of ferocity, and he was filled with hatred. If he had not believed the lies of Yuan Wei, Li Su and others, he would not have been trapped in Luoyang, unable to go in or out, like a lamb on a chopping board, at the mercy of others!

He thought of Jia Xu's words again and said with a sullen face, "Serve the master wholeheartedly? Humph!"

……

Chancery desk.

Only a few lights were on, and Wang Yun was busy handling official business. The other recorders all hid themselves away, and only he was in charge of the Secretariat.

But his expression was very bad, he commented very quickly, and his eyes were full of anger.

The five assistant ministers sent by Wang Yun disappeared without a trace. It was not known whether they hid themselves out of fear or for some other reason, but they could not be found.

However, the official document that he wanted to appoint Li Ru and others is now missing, and the Ministry of Personnel is clueless when asked.

"Incompetent officials!"

Wang Yun couldn't help but growl, then he suddenly looked up and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else, he breathed a sigh of relief, put on a gloomy face, dealt with the things in his hands, and stood up to leave the Shangshu Terrace.

He will have to look for other prefectures and temples tomorrow. There are more than just the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice who can arrest people!

After leaving the palace, Wang Yun was about to get on his carriage when suddenly a voice full of sarcasm sounded in the dark: "Congratulations, my lord, for getting rid of the thieves for the country and making an unprecedented contribution."

Wang Yun retracted the foot that had stepped forward and turned to look at the person who walked out of the darkness.

"Zheng Gongye?" Wang Yun was a little surprised. He knew this person. He was the original Minister of Six Departments, but was replaced not long ago because of the "new system".

Zheng Gongye's face was filled with indifference and disdain. He raised his hand and said, "My Lord, you are now in a high position and are the Prime Minister. You should be full of pride and look down on the world, right?"

Wang Yun remained calm and said, "You blocked me up late at night just for these few taunts?"

Zheng Gongye's face suddenly showed anger, and he shouted: "Prince, you are already the most powerful minister, second only to the emperor, why do you want to stain your hands with blood again! Aren't you afraid that history will be like a knife, and every word will kill your heart?"

Wang Yun was unmoved and said, "Although you are a disciple of the Yuan family, you are not on the list of party members."

Zheng Gongye sneered and said, "What does it matter whether I am here or not? When the butcher's pen is raised, thousands of heads fall to the ground. How can I, Zheng Gongye, survive alone? Please take the trouble to pick up the pen and add my name!"

Wang Yun looked at him, feeling angry: Clique! Clique!

The Yuan family's cronies are indeed everywhere. Even though the Yuan family has been imprisoned, there are still people who continue to plead for mercy and serve them!

"As long as the Yuan family is not eliminated, the Han Dynasty will not be at peace!"

Wang Yun had a blank expression on his face, but in his heart he really added Zheng Gongye's name to the list of Yuan Jia's followers.

Without saying anything more, he turned around and got into the carriage.

Seeing this, Zheng Gongye chased after him and cursed: "Prince, I hope you can go to supervise the execution. You must remember those people, their mouths, their noses, their eyes, and their faces! When you sleep, when you wake up, when you eat, when you go out, when you have time, think about it. They were all killed by you!"

Wang Yun got on the carriage silently.

The carriage started slowly and disappeared into the night at a moderate speed.

"Wang Yun, don't forget what I said today!" Zheng Gongye shouted as he chased after Wang Yun's carriage.

Inside the carriage, Wang Yun's eyes were burning with anger, and he was even more determined to "eradicate all evil."

Tingwei Mansion.

Through the prison door, Zhong Yao and Yuan Wei looked at each other.

As the Yuan family and their cronies were interrogated, many of the Yuan family's secrets were revealed, each and every one of them enough to exterminate the Yuan family dozens of times!

Zhong Yao looked at Yuan Wei with a slightly complicated look.

In just a few days, Yuan Wei's hair turned gray, his face became haggard, and he looked like he was about to die.

Zhong Yao didn't waste any more words and said, "Master, if you are willing to plead guilty, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, more than 20 people in the Yuan family can be convicted alive."

Yuan Wei held his crutches in both hands, rested his chin on his hands, looked at Zhong Yao quietly, and said: "Since the Zhou Dynasty, I have never seen such a situation in history books. Four hundred years of rule by the Han Dynasty is enough."

Zhong Yao's expression suddenly turned cold, and he asked, "Master, do you want to lead the Yuan family to exterminate them?"

Yuan Wei said: "Since Emperor Gaozu founded the country, starting with the Marquis of Huaiyin, powerful ministers have been like firewood, and later they have risen to the top and are under the barbarians. Is there anyone left alive?"

Zhong Yao knew that he could not win the argument with Yuan Wei on these issues, so he became serious and said, "The trial will be concluded tomorrow and the execution will be carried out the day after tomorrow. If the Grand Tutor has any last words, you may as well speak out now."

Yuan Wei's chin slowly left the back of his hand, he straightened his back, tightened the corners of his face, and for the first time he showed a calm look.

Zhong Yao was startled, then suddenly realized, and asked, "Master, are you still waiting for someone to rescue you?"

Yuan Wei frowned and was no longer so calm.

"That's the palace's intention." Yuan Wei suddenly said.

Zhong Yao shook his head and said, "That is what I meant."

Yuan Wei's eyes flickered fiercely, he nodded gently and said, "It seems that my Yuan family can't escape this disaster after all."

Zhong Yao raised his hand and turned away. He was a little afraid of Yuan Wei, who was an old and cunning man. He could guess too many things from just two simple sentences.

Zhong Yao walked out of the cell with a headache.

If the Yuan family was willing to plead guilty, he could directly judge the case without worrying about Wang Yun interfering.

Now the Yuan family refuses to admit their guilt, and Wang Yun is watching them covetously.

He found that with Liu Bian's support, everything went smoothly, but without Liu Bian's support, he encountered obstacles everywhere.

"It's better to end it as soon as possible." Zhong Yao sighed with a tired face. If he didn't make a quick decision, the noble families in the world would be furious, and the court would be torn apart, and they would have no intention of advancing the established plan.

The next morning, the Supreme Court posted a notice that the Yuan family case would be tried.

Immediately, it exploded like iron and water throughout the entire Luoyang city.

Under the bombardment of numerous rumors, the people of Luoyang City only knew that the Yuan family was guilty of heinous crimes and should be confiscated and exterminated. However, there were many different opinions about the specific crimes.

Before noon, Wang Kuang, the governor of Runan, and others were dragged into the Supreme Court in a prison cart.

His face turned pale, his eyes were dull, and there was vomit at the corners of his mouth.

Seeing Wang Kuang being arrested, the onlookers became even more excited. All kinds of speculations filled the streets and alleys of Luoyang City, and the case of the Yuan family was the topic of conversation after dinner.

The Supreme Court was busy with the matter and it was obvious that they wanted a quick decision, but Wang Yun was not willing to agree.

He went to the Supreme Court in person, sat in the main seat in the lobby, and looked at Zhong Yao indifferently.

Zhong Yao looked solemn and asked, "My Lord, what do you mean?"

Wang Yun stared at Zhong Yao and said, "Last night, Zheng Tai came to me. I checked carefully and found that he was the middleman between the Yuan family and the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Qingzhou."

Zheng Tai, Zheng Gongye.

Zhong Yao frowned and asked, "Zheng Tai is looking for the prince to surrender himself?"

Wang Yun snorted coldly and said, "No matter what his purpose is, are you going to arrest Zheng Tai or not?"

'Catch the big and let go the small' and 'kill the chicken to scare the monkey' are the guiding principles of the Yuan family case.

If there is no evidence, of course you can choose not to arrest him, but if there is evidence, you have to arrest him!

Zhong Yao showed a hint of annoyance in his eyes. It didn't matter whether Zheng Tai was arrested or not. What was important was Wang Yun's attitude.

Today it's Zheng Tai, who will it be tomorrow? He can't close the case while Wang Yun continues to expose Yuan's gang members.

Zhong Yao took a deep breath and decided to use his ultimate move. He said, "Prince, the Yuan family confessed that Prince was the guest of honor at the birthday celebrations of the three Yuan family ministers over the years, and the birthday ceremony was very important. Moreover, the Yuan family cultivated private individuals in the court, and Prince not only did not stop them, but also helped them a lot."

Wang Yun’s face suddenly changed.
