I am not in the position of Zen [Three Kingdoms]

The power of the Qi family and the Zhang family should not be underestimated. Not only have relatives been officials in Bingzhou for generations, but they also monopolize the local salt and cloth business.Local snakes always have various sources of information, and the investigation by the Overwatch Council will inevitably startle them.

When they found out that they were being investigated, their patriarch took his descendants to pack up the gold and silver, and secretly bribed the city guard to go out of the city, intending to temporarily change to another county and continue to live, leaving everything here to the side branch to take care of, and he will come back when the weather calms down.

"The Qi family and the Zhang family deliberately conspired against each other. I will never spare them lightly." Furious, Lu Bu personally led his troops out of the city to pursue them.

Within the three families of the Qi family and the Zhang family, all were imprisoned, and many people were implicated.However, in prison, the Patriarchs of the Qi family and the Zhang family calmly pushed out distant side branches as scapegoats, and asked the jailers to bring letters to the backers in the court, crying about Lu Bu's arrogance and unreasonableness and the local Dali Temple and the Overwatch Council for wronging good people.

There was an endless stream of petitioners, and under tremendous pressure, the superintendent of Bingzhou had no choice but to sacrifice the emperor's sword and hang it in the hall of the Supervisory Yuan to deter officials who hindered the investigation and handling of the case.

Having learned the lesson from the leaked news before, the Overwatch Council did not dare to bring the local yamen servants to investigate the case. Instead, it took the commoner guards to dig three feet in the Qi and Zhang homes, looking for traces of communication between the head of the family and the rebels. The scapegoat was tortured and tortured, and physical evidence was finally obtained, and finally he was able to take action against the Zhang family and the Qi family.

Now the Zhang family and the Qi family panicked, crying and screaming for injustice.However, the ironclad evidence was overwhelming, and there were all the witnesses and material evidence. In the end, he was sentenced to exterminate the three tribes, and the side branches were also implicated and exiled.

The Zhang family and the Qi family were severely punished. With this lesson in mind, the local gentry are still restless, especially when it comes to taking back the land of the three families from the imperial court and renting it out to ordinary people at a very low price. Lie to the land.There are also various dissatisfaction with the appointment of officials selected for the imperial examination.

Since Lv Bu took office as governor, more than a dozen local aristocratic families have gathered together and respected Lv Bu on the surface. However, they deceived Lv Bu's weak foundation and violated many laws and regulations promulgated by him.It is precisely because of this that Lu Bu attaches great importance to the imperial examination.

Previously, he was busy rectifying various problems left over from the Hu people's aggression and establishing and perfecting the organizational structure of Dali Temple and the Overwatch Council. Lv Bu had no time to take action against them. The big and small families have done a detailed investigation.

The leading aristocratic family in Taiyuan City is the Qi family, and there is also a notorious wealthy Tian family.

"On the night of the rebellion, all the descendants of the Tian family fled from Taiyuan City. Even if they were not participants, they must know about it." Lu Bu frantically urged Dali Temple to issue an arrest warrant, and personally led the officials to arrest the head of the Tian family and his descendants, and held them at the market in Taiyuan City. presided over a public trial.He had witnessed the trial of Dong Zhuo and his party members in Luoyang City, and he was very familiar with it.

After the Tian family's misdeeds were read out in Dali Temple, the executioner beat the head of the Tian family to death with a board on the spot, and the other three families were not spared, and were all sentenced to death by Dali Temple.

The people watching all clapped their hands and applauded, but the officials from top to bottom of Bingzhou all tightened their necks, smelling the wind and rain coming.

Lu Bu made some calculations, and found that there were more than a dozen big families in Bingzhou who were accustomed to domineering.These big clans are local tyrants in some counties and counties, colluding with officials, and even mixed into the ranks of county officials themselves, causing harm to many people.It's just that if Dali Temple is allowed to handle the case and supervise, when will the trial be held?I don't know how many people will find a scapegoat to escape or pack their bags and run away, change their appearance in another county, and remain the same.Or beat back, kill people, or cooperate with others to slander Dali Temple and wrong good people.

"It's better to take advantage of this time to investigate the rebellion, and cut them off without stopping, so as to relieve the local disaster." Lu Bu thought about it: "Even if the top blames it, it can be pushed to the head of the rebellion. It won’t kill me just because of this kind of thing.”

So in the name of the governor, he summoned the scholar-bureaucrats of Bingzhou to discuss the matter, and lured families from all over the state to come, calling it "the convening order of famous scholars", asking everyone to discuss the clues of the rebellion.

The guards saw it, and some excitedly said, "Follow the general to do a big business", and some had a long-term vision, and persuaded Lu Bu: "General, don't act too quickly, according to the newly revised laws of my big man, , as the governor, you have no right to judge and kill them. The scholar-bureaucrats made mistakes, and they should be reviewed and judged by the Overwatch Council, while the common people and nobles should be judged by the Dali Temple. It is a big taboo for you to exceed your power. !"

Lu Bu didn't take it seriously: "Bu has been running all over the place to find out about the treason, and there is no way to do it."

The personal guard said anxiously: "But general, the Overwatch Council and the Supervising Army are closely watching the governor's every move. You have to go past them for this move. What will the courtiers think when you report this to the court? What will your majesty think?" deal with you?"

Lu Bu said uncomfortably: "What else can I think? Didn't they think me bad enough before? Now that I have taken on this reputation, it's better to just sit down and do nothing. Anyway, they can't do anything to me .”

"General, you can't give up on yourself just because of the mistakes of your subordinates!" The guard was anxious, and stammered to persuade: "The punishment from the superior has not come down yet, so don't..."

Lu Bu waved his hand impatiently: "It is precisely because the punishment from above has not come down, that we should hurry up and do what we have to do."

"It's not that..."

"I have the final say or you have the final say?" Lu Bu snorted coldly, and looked up at him with majesty on his face.

The personal guard knelt down helplessly and said: "General, think twice, don't delay your future because of these insignificant villains."

"These moths seem insignificant on the surface." Lu Bu pointed to a tree trunk that had been mothed and broken, and thoughtfully said: "But they can make a towering tree collapse."

"General," the guard said hesitantly, "there must be other ways."

"Time is running out," Lu Bu shrugged, "I thought I could let Dali Temple and the Overwatch Council take their time, but last month Dali Temple just found out about Qi's family, and this happened." He made a sharp knife The posture of chopping the mess: "You should never stop being chaotic. To deal with these people, you should use extraordinary moves."

The personal guard wept sadly: "The ministers of the court and the central government will not understand."

"They don't need to understand." Lu Bu said lightly.

The guard continued persuading perseveringly: "For these people, it's really not worth it to lose the future they have fought so hard for."

"Is it worth it?" Lu Bu's eyes showed a trace of indifference: "Bingzhou is under my protection, at least I have to deal with what I can do before I leave."

"Then where are we going?"

"Go back to the grassland to graze." Lu Bu shrugged, "Go grow mushrooms."

The personal guard was at a loss, and he understood when he went back to the grassland to graze, but what the hell is going to grow mushrooms?

Lu Bu scratched his head: "Speaking of which, have you found the mushroom?"

The guards were stunned: "What is Tricholoma?"

Lu Bu gestured: "It's the white, round, edible mushroom. I remember seeing it when I was a child." At least he remembered how Liu Xie described it in the palace.

The young emperor said: Don't keep saying that Bingzhou is poor, in fact, Bingzhou is rich in products, such as raising mushrooms is also a way to get rich.

The guards looked at each other in dismay: "The general didn't order to find this."

Lu Bu resentfully said, "Forget it, I was too busy and forgot."

After the "Celebrity Summoning Order" was issued, the Bingzhou family gathered in Taiyuan.Lu Bu took the opportunity to detain the patriarchs of those evil families, and before they could react, he exterminated the three families on the charge of treason, killing hundreds of people.

For a while, all the county officials trembled when they heard Lu Bu's name.Since then, Bingzhou's government orders have been well understood, and talents selected through imperial examinations have also been accepted and valued, and they have gradually become active members of Bingzhou's official circles.

However, this annoyed the Dali Temple and the Overwatch Council in Bingzhou.Both the heads of the Dali Temple and the Overwatch Council were dispatched by the emperor himself, and they themselves had the duty of supervising the local governors.Lu Bu's refusal to punish the local clans and officials through the Dali Temple and the Overwatch Council was an obvious act of transgression.

Luoyang, Weiyang Palace.

The flickering candlelight reflected Liu Xie's indifferent profile.

Xun You stood aside, with a slightly troubled expression.

Liu Xie looked at the memorial to impeach Lu Bu like a hill on the case table, tapped the case table with his slender fingers, and said slowly, "Gongda, how do you think we should deal with Lu Bu?"

"This..." Xun You said in embarrassment: "Inspector Lu has made great contributions to the country, but his arrogance, if not punished, will open a gap."

He raised his head and glanced at the emperor's face. He always thought that the emperor had high hopes for Lu Bu, but Lu Bu had obviously failed the emperor's trust this time.

Liu Xie's expression remained the same: "Act recklessly and break the system." He changed the subject: "If you say he is stupid, he still knows how to cover it up with the crime of treason. What do you think is going on in this man's mind?"

Xun You sighed: "I want to do it once and for all, I have thought about the consequences, but I haven't thought so deeply."

"As expected of Gongda, you hit the nail on the head." Liu Xie smiled and said, "You and Lu Bu are also acquaintances, why don't you succeed Lu Bu in charge of Bingzhou for now?"

Ten days later, Xun You arrived in Taiyuan City, Bingzhou, and read out the imperial decree.

After receiving the imperial decree from Xun You, Lu Bu's chest was filled with gloom, and he held his breath there, wishing he could let out a long howl.He didn't want to exchange pleasantries with Xun You, nor did he want to ask about the news of Jingzhong, so he threw the imperial decree to the guards behind him, and went straight out.

None of the personal guards dared to step forward to stop him. Several of them looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally stood up alone: ​​"I'll follow and have a look, lest the general be impulsive."

Lu Bu untied his armor as he walked, and when he reached the gate of the mansion, he had already removed all the armor, casually threw this set of expensive Mingguang armor on the grass, and strode out.

The guard asked: "Inspector Lu, where are you going? Do you need to bring the Chituma?"

Lu Bu said sternly: "Inspector, you are tall! Leave me alone!"

The guard patted his head, with a bewildered expression: What happened to the governor today?Doesn't the presence of an envoy from the Son of Heaven mean another reward?Why are you in such a bad mood!

Lu Bu turned his head and shouted angrily, "Don't follow me, I'm no longer your general!"

He turned his head and disappeared into the crowd on the street.

The guards did not dare to follow, so they had to stand at the door and wait for Lu Bu to come back.

The guard asked, "What's the matter?"

The personal guard sighed: "It will spread in a while, you will find out later."

Lu Bu walked alone on the streets of Taiyuan City, feeling disturbed.

A voice said in my mind: "If you don't stay here, you have a place to stay. Since the emperor crossed the river and demolished the bridge, then I don't have to be polite to him. I just go back to the Wuyuan grassland to graze. From now on, I will guard the pass and not let the Huns go." Come in half a step, this life is worth it."

However, another voice swayed in my heart: I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled!

Why should you demote me to a commoner? I want to get back my own glory!

Lu Bu clenched his fist and smashed it against the wall in front of him.

Soil dust fell one after another, and the flying dust covered Lu Bu's face.

Lu Bu gritted his teeth: "Damn it!"

At this moment, a handkerchief was handed over.Lu Bu was taken aback, then turned his head and saw a tall young white-faced guy looking at him without blinking, he was immediately annoyed and asked, "Who are you?"

"Someone is the second team led by Captain Ying Yang under the general's command..."

Lu Bu interrupted him impatiently and said, "I remember you. You are the recruit who is skilled in archery and archery. You are not in the barracks. What are you doing here?"
