When Shamoko heard Cao Yin's confusing words just now, he couldn't help but want to scold him.
However, he knew that he could not tolerate being presumptuous in front of Liu Bei.
So I have been holding back.
Now when he heard Liu Bei asking himself, Shamoko suddenly cursed.
"Liu Shijun, this Cao Yin is just farting. If he hadn't pushed too hard, how could we, the Wuxi barbarians, have rebelled? Please be more careful."
Liu Bei glanced at the two of them and smiled: "Now you all hold your own opinions. I don't know who the pastor of this state should believe?"
Cao Yin was a little anxious. What he had done could not withstand the investigation. Now Liu Bei must kill Samoko.
Once Shamoko is killed, Liu Bei will have no chance to reconcile with those barbarians, and what he does will no longer matter.
In desperation, Cao Yin became a little outspoken.
"Your Majesty, would you rather trust a barbarian than your subordinates? If word spreads, it will probably chill the hearts of the officials in Jingzhou."
Cao Yin is trying to force him into the palace.
Liu Bei was slightly angry after hearing what Cao Yin said.
How dare you talk to me like this, it seems there is definitely something wrong with this guy.
Liu Bei didn't really believe in Cao Yin to begin with, but now that he heard what Cao Yin said, he believed that Cao Yin was unclean even more.
However, the problem now is that Liu Bei has no evidence.
It is indeed unjustifiable to punish a prefect of a county without evidence.
The prefect of a county is a high-ranking official with two thousand dan, and he is not an unknown person in the court.
If Liu Bei had dealt with Cao Yin without sufficient evidence, the imperial court would definitely hold him accountable.
At this time, Chen Yuan stood up.
He smiled coldly at Cao Yin: "Prefect Cao, please don't show off your words. Do you really think that no one knows what you are doing?"
With that said, Chen Yuan waved his hand and had several people brought in from outside.
When Cao Yin saw these people, his expression suddenly changed.
Without him, these people were just accomplices in plundering the barbarian population and persecuting the barbarians according to his orders.
They are Wuling County Lieutenant, Hanshou County Magistrate and Hanshou County Lieutenant.
Hanshou County is the seat of Wuling County.
These people have been controlled by Jin Fengwei, commanded by Chen Yuan.
When entering the city, Chen Yuan ordered people to control the officials of Wuling County, big and small. After a short interrogation, they found out everything Cao Yin had done.
Chen Yuan looked at Cao Yin: "Prefect Cao, do you still need me to tell you everything you did?"
Cao Yin's face was extremely ugly at this time, but he didn't want to admit defeat, so he still had to hold on.
"I don't understand what Chen Biejia said."
Oh, I still have to quibble,
Chen Yuan looked at Samoko: "Samoko, do you know these people?"
Shamoko's eyes were full of anger: "I also know the people who turned into ashes. It was these people who robbed my barbarian population and even killed my barbarians. Under their persecution, many of my barbarians lost their families, their wives and children, and were unable to live or die."
Chen Yuan was too lazy to look at Cao Yin again: "My lord, the facts are conclusive. As the governor of a county, Cao Yin did not care about the country and the people, but persecuted the people and robbed the barbarians, causing the barbarians to rebel and causing great harm to Wuling. He should be executed for his crime.
"
Upon hearing that Chen Yuan wanted to kill him, Cao Yin immediately shouted: "I am the prefect of a county, you can't kill me."
Liu Bei had been angry for a long time, how could he be polite at this time?
"Chang Wen, take him out and behead him."
Wei Yan was originally jealous of evil, and he had already had the intention to kill such cruel officials.
At this time, I heard Liu Bei asking him to kill this cruel official.
A smile suddenly appeared on his face.
He dragged Cao Yin over and said, "Prefect Cao, come with me. Don't worry, my sword is very fast and I will definitely give you a good time."
Cao Yin was completely panicked at this time.
"Liu Bei, you can't kill me. I am a member of the Cao family in Qiao County, and my adoptive father is Zhang Rang. If you dare to kill me, the Cao family and my adopted father will not spare you."
Gee, I can see that this guy has a pretty tough background.
He is actually from the same family as Cao Cao.
No wonder he was able to worship Zhang Rang as his adoptive father. After all, Cao Teng was also a eunuch.
I have some friendship with these eunuchs.
However, if you use these to threaten Liu Bei, you are barking up the wrong tree.
I think back then, Liu Bei would rather not be an official than give the so-called postal governor a good beating.
His nature of being jealous of evil has long been exposed.
Now let alone Cao and Zhang Rang, even Zhang Rang himself could not stop Liu Bei from killing people.
Liu Bei glanced at Cao Yin with disgust: "I, Liu Bei, will not let down the king, nor will I let down the people. What can the mere eunuchs do to me? Chief Wen, drag me out and kill him!"
Without any further hesitation, Wei Yan covered Cao Yin's mouth, dragged him outside, and chopped off Cao Yin's head with a click.
After Liu Bei dealt with Cao Yin, he looked at Shamoko: "How does the King of Barbarians think Benzhou Mu handled it?"
Shamoko didn't expect Liu Bei to kill Cao Yin right away.
"Liu Shijun is so fair. I, Shamoko, have nothing to say and am willing to be punished. But please give me a way to survive if I, the barbarian, are forced to do so."
With that said, Shamoko knelt in front of Liu Bei.
Samoko is still a very wise person.
He knew that his behavior of leading the barbarians in rebellion was indeed taboo.
Although it was forced, the worst thing that could happen to the court was to kill officials and rebel.
Therefore, the punishment must still be imposed.
However, Liu Bei had already discussed it with Chen Yuan before, so he naturally had a way to deal with it.
Liu Bei nodded: "It's good that the Barbarian King understands. Let's do it like this. You and others are forced by others and have no choice but to do it. The people who followed you in rebellion this time will all be organized into criminal camps. Those who survive three bloody battles will be exempted from death penalty.
Are you willing to treat him as a regular soldier and no longer pursue his rebellion?"
Hearing this, Samoko immediately thanked you and said, "Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. We, the barbarians, will fight to the death for you."
After finishing speaking, Shamoko stood up and said to Wei Yan: "Please be more sharp with your sword later. My neck is tough."
It seemed that Samoko was prepared to sacrifice his own death in exchange for the survival of the entire clan.
Liu Bei now appreciates Samoko, the barbarian king, even more.
This kind of person who is proud of life and death can use it.
Liu Bei raised his hand to recall Shamoko: "What are you doing, King Barbarian? When did I say I would kill you?"
Shamoko had a strange look on his face: "Isn't it agreed that I will die in exchange for my barbarian's life?"
Liu Bei shook his head: "There is no need for this. Now I appoint you as the captain of the crime camp, and you will still lead the soldiers of the Ru barbarians. Are you willing?"
Shamoko looked surprised. He didn't expect Liu Bei to be so lenient and even pardoned himself.
Samoko immediately knelt down and said to Liu Bei: "If you treat me so mercifully, I, Samoko, will definitely repay it with death."
Saying that, Samoko pulled out a dagger and made three cuts on his face: "If you violate this oath, heaven and man will strike together, and the ancestors of the army will learn from it."
After finishing speaking, he drew a strange symbol on the back of his hand with the blood flowing from his face.
