In fact, according to the law, the Xuchang County Magistrate had no direct relationship with this matter, but if the cause and effect were connected, Song Bin was flattered by him.
Sometimes, the invisible knife hurts people more than the visible blade. This incident not only harmed Song Bin, but also almost caused a split within Lu Bu's power.
Chu Nan narrates the story very vividly, and even makes people sympathize with Song Bin's psychological changes when the Xuchang County Magistrate deliberately indulged him again and again.
In addition, the other party's secret support for the family of the deceased in the past three days was also described by Chu Nan as if he was personally there. Moreover, according to the information obtained by Chu Nan, the family of the deceased had already left Xuchang after Song Bin was beheaded.
For them, Chu Nan had no embarrassment. He was the victim in this matter, and no matter what choice he made, he was right, but the person behind the scenes, Chu Nan, had no intention of letting it go.
Chu Nan broke down the matter of Song Bin's death and explained it clearly to everyone. Naturally, the hatred and hatred shifted from dissatisfaction and hatred towards Man Chong and the new law to the Xuchang County Magistrate.
"Lord, I want revenge!" Song Xian stared at Lu Bu with red eyes. This matter cannot go on like this. Hatred is like a poisonous snake biting his heart and his little reason!
If Lu Bu doesn't agree, even if he doesn't become a general, he will kill these people to avenge his son.
Lu Bu nodded. Even if Chu Nan said this in detail now, if he met again, Lu Bu didn't know if he could avoid it. These people had too many tricks. Thinking about it made him shudder.
"Judging by the law, they are not guilty in this matter!" Chu Nan saw that everyone was looking at him, pointed at the files and said: "But we don't need to fight this matter to the death, and deal with it the way others treat it.
As a person, they have ignored their father-in-law's plea for mercy in the past three days, but because of this, they have cut off the way to plead with his father-in-law in the future! The evidence here is that the son of County Magistrate Xu used similar methods to force a good girl into prostitution and caused a death.
The means are clever, but the evidence is conclusive."
The methods used by the members of the aristocratic family to commit crimes are not so brutal. Even if evidence is found, it is not directly related to him. Moreover, most of these things... were completed under Cao Cao and have no direct relationship with Lu Bu, but so what, in this world
The world belongs to the Han Dynasty. We take care of things that Cao Cao doesn’t care about. What’s wrong? There’s no change of dynasty, so why can’t it be liquidated?
Chu Nan unfolded a volume of files, looked at everyone and said solemnly: "There are also some shameful and dirty things among the sons of the Gongqing family in the court. They have done much more than Brother Song. Since they don't want Song
If Brother Song is alive, then use Brother Song's affairs as an excuse to make the matter bigger, which can not only win the hearts of the people, but also vent anger for Brother Song. Brother Song must not die in vain! General Song, the son of the county magistrate, you will personally
Go and arrest him! Remember, no clues can be left behind, everything must be done according to the rules, and no one who should be arrested can be touched."
"Okay!" Song Xian nodded fiercely, saluted Lu Bu, and then saluted Chu Nan, then took the file and left in a hurry.
A battle between Lu Bu's forces and the noble forces began again.
At the county magistrate's office, after the Xuchang County Magistrate heard that Song Bin was beheaded, he shook his head and smiled: "A group of reckless men may have a temporary ambition, but they are reckless men, and they can destabilize their internal affairs with just a few tricks!
"
Zhang Yi, the magistrate of Xuchang County, belonged to a down-and-out noble family in Xuchang. When he was under Cao Cao, Man Chong was the county magistrate when he was still the magistrate of Xu County. Later, when Man Chong was promoted and the vacancy of magistrate Xu was left, he did not take his turn to fill it.
It was not until Lu Bu entered Xuchang that he took this position. It seemed like a small step, but it was of far-reaching significance. His originally locked future once again had hope.
Although there is only one word difference between the county magistrate and the county magistrate, their futures are very different. For the county magistrate at his age, it would be good to be a county magistrate until he is old. But at this age, as long as he is a county magistrate.
With outstanding political performance, it is possible to be promoted to the post of governor.
Especially the magistrate of Xu County, this is the capital city, and in the future he might be able to be a high official like a man of favor.
Logically speaking, this can be regarded as a favor, and as a down-and-out nobleman, he should belong to Lu Bu's side. After all, Chunan's new policy is to win over poor families and such down-and-out nobles, and Zhang Yi is in
When Lu Bu entered Xuchang, the first batch of people who took the initiative to join him were quite capable and familiar with the government affairs of Xuchang County, so they were promoted to one level and became the magistrate of Xuchang County.
If this incident hadn't happened, it would have been possible for him to serve as the governor of a county in a few years.
But there are no absolutes in everything. It’s not that you want to win me over, I will be won over by you, and I will even be grateful to you. Although I am a down-and-out nobleman, I still retain the arrogance of the nobles in my heart. I look down on these rash military commanders from the bottom of my heart.
At the same time, he was quite dissatisfied with the so-called New Deal. After all, according to the New Deal, even if his family could rise, the ceiling would be pushed down.
In other words, even if he has hope of progress, his development will be limited. However, if he opens the door to advancement according to the old system, and once he is promoted to county magistrate, he will have the status of Xuchang County Magistrate, and he may be ranked as a public minister in the future.
of.
However, the ministers in Lu Bu's hands are not as popular as in the past.
Of course, Lu Bu was powerful. On the surface, he was respectful to Lu Bu and his generals, but just like this time when he praised and killed Song Bin, he did not dare to be disrespectful at all, but what he did was to try to destroy Lu Bu's foundation.
To kill a person, you don't necessarily have to slash with a vicious knife. Similarly, to destroy a system, the best way is definitely not to be aggressive.
Zhang Yi felt quite proud of his plan to kill Song Bin and disrupt Chunan's new law, and he had also won the approval of many nobles. There were many people who secretly contributed to this matter.
Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yi's son, said with a smile: "My father is very clever. Even if Lu Bu wants to pursue this matter afterwards, he will not be able to pursue him."
Zhang Yi nodded, "Scholars don't use swords to kill people."
While the father and son were talking, the steward suddenly rushed over and said to Zhang Yi: "Master, something bad has happened. There is a troop of troops outside the door!"
Zhang Yi frowned when he heard this: "Who will lead the troops?"
"That's Song Xian." The steward bowed and said.
Song Xian?
Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes, and then sneered: "Let him in, I want to see what this reckless man wants to do!?"
For Zhang Yi, Song Xian came at the right time.
In his plan, killing Song Bin is just the beginning. His purpose is to disrupt Chu Nan's methods. Although it is good for Song Bin to die, what he would rather see is Chu Nan or Lu Bu taking action to protect Song Bin. That way
Once this happens, the authority of Chunan's new law will be greatly reduced.
It's a pity that Chu Nan didn't fall into the trap, and what surprised him was that Lu Bu, the reckless man, didn't fall into the trap either.
It seems that one Song Bin is not enough, so we just take this opportunity to pull down Song Xian to see if they can still keep their composure!
"Here!" the steward agreed, turned and left.
After a while, he saw a group of people and horses rushing in, not rushing in, but just surrounding the place. Zhang Yi saw this but was not panicked. He smiled and went out to greet Song Xian, saluting Song Xian: "General Song,
What does this mean?"
Song Xian looked at the culprit who killed his son in front of him, and wished he could strike him with a sword. However, he remembered Chu Nan's instructions and waved his hand, and his soldiers took out the evidence to arrest Zhang Yuan with a cold expression on his face.
Said: "This time Song Bin accidentally killed someone. The Lord felt deeply that the law was incomplete. In order to avoid another incident of bullying others, he specially ordered to check the files. My son Zhang Yuan forced good girls into prostitution several times and instigated others to kill others. He is now ordered to arrest and send him to
The criminal department is on trial!”
When Zhang Yi heard this, his expression changed, and he turned to look at his son, who had turned pale. He didn't need to ask, just by looking at his son's face, he knew it was true.
For a moment, Zhang Yi felt his scalp numb.
Lu Bu's counterattack came.
"Take it!" Song Xian looked at his face, felt joy in his heart, and waved.
"Slow down!" Zhang Yi quickly stood in front of his son, with awe-inspiring aura surging around him.
"Oh?" Song Xian's eyes narrowed, and he stretched out his hand to press his sword: "Does Magistrate Zhang want to resist the law?"
That cold, hateful gaze fell on Zhang Yi, making Zhang Yi feel like he was falling into an ice cave. He had no doubt that as long as he did anything illegal, the person in front of him would draw his sword without hesitation, and it would not be illegal.
!
His lips trembled and his voice softened: "General, Quanzi... there may be some misunderstandings, and Quanzi did not take the initiative to hurt anyone. This matter does not need to be sent to the Criminal Department, right?"
Song Xian said solemnly: "According to the new law, if you instigate your subordinates to hurt others, the instigator will be guilty of the same crime or even get an additional penalty. Wouldn't County Magistrate Zhang know that?"
"General Song, my son has violated the law before, but I am..."
"Shut up!" Before Zhang Yi could finish his words, Song Xian was furious. He drew his sword and pointed at Zhang Yi and said solemnly: "You have deceived my son by just using killing methods. Do you think you can deceive me!?"
Zhang Yi felt his eyes go dark for a while. The man knew his plan, and he felt miserable. He wanted to say something, but Song Xian obviously ignored his thoughts. With a wave of his hand, the pale Zhang Yuan was killed by Song Xian's soldiers.
take away.
"If you have anything to say, you can go to the Ministry of Punishment and tell him." Seeing that Zhang Yi did not stop him, Song Xian returned the sword to its sheath with some disappointment. After giving him a cold glance, he turned around and escorted Zhang Yuan away.
Who saw through his own plan?
Chu Nan? Or Chen Gong?
Zhang Yi listened to his son's cry and thought about this matter rapidly in his mind. Who should he ask for help? Chu Nan and Chen Gong first ruled out that these two people might be behind this matter and wanted to retaliate in kind.
Man Chong is no good either. When he was under Cao Cao, he was a merciless master. He once served as the county magistrate under Man Chong. He knew very well the style of this old superior and it was useless to beg him.
I can only ask others.
"Master, please try to save the young master!" Seeing Zhang Yi standing still, the old steward urged.
Help!
Thinking of the people behind the scenes, Zhang Yi came back to his senses, and without saying anything else, he hurried out and ran all the way to Situ's Mansion.
But before he arrived at Situ's Mansion, he saw groups of soldiers everywhere on the street. Situ Zhao Wen was the son of Zhao Chang, the son of Taichang, the son of Taipu, and he even saw people from the Yang family.
Zhang Yi looked at the familiar juniors and stood there blankly...
