Guan Yu rushed to the door and saw a gorgeously dressed playboy with a few small servants, surrounded by Diao Chan's house, his words were very frivolous. Guan Yu became angry and knocked the playboy to the ground with a punch.
Seeing Guan Yu's ferocity, the little servants carried the playboy and ran away griefly.
Liu Xun and Diao Chan also rushed out, seeing Guan Yu clenching fists in both hands, very angry.
Diao Chan comforted Guan Yu and said, "General Guan, don't be angry for a few rogues, it's not worth it."
"What's going on, why don't you tell me." Guan Yu was angry. If he hadn't come to visit Diao Chan, he wouldn't know about it.
"Oh" the old woman next to Diao Chan sighed, "Yesterday, my wife and I went to the street to buy groceries, but this rogue caught eye on me and insisted on taking my wife as a concubine.
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Guan Yu was very excited, his fists clenched tighter.
"The general has taken good care of us at ordinary times, and we don't want to cause trouble to the general anymore." Diao Chan looked even more touching with tears in her eyes.
Liu Xun shook his head, unable to believe what was happening before him. I didn't expect that in the vicinity of the Cishi Mansion, someone would brazenly bully a woman and force her to be a concubine. The nature is too bad.
On the one hand, Liu Xun asked Guan Yu to send a few soldiers to protect Diaochan and prevent the rogue from harassing Diaochan again. On the other hand, Liu Xun decided to ask his father to investigate the matter. It was definitely not that simple.
Early the next morning, Liu Xun rushed to the eastern courtyard to find his father Liu Bei. As soon as I walked to the door, I heard Guan Yu's voice coming from the room.
"Big brother, you can't ignore things like this. A good Xiangyang is made into a mist by these rascals." Guan Yu said angrily, his face flushed red.
"Yes, father, this matter is too bad in nature, it happened under the nose of our governor's mansion." Liu Xun said as he walked in.
Liu Bei stroked his beard and said calmly: "This kind of thing you are talking about is not a single incident. Someone has reported it to me long ago. I have sent someone to investigate such a similar incident."
"Then why don't you catch these illegal people sooner?" Guan Yu said excitedly, "If you catch him early, Diao Chan will not be humiliated." Liu Bei complained a little bit.
"Second Uncle, don't worry, listen to your father's words." Liu Xun was very excited when he saw Guan Yu was very excited, so he quickly consoled him.
"Oh, if this matter was so simple, I would have sent someone to arrest it." Liu Bei said embarrassedly, "After investigation, these rascals are from Xiangyang family and have deep roots. When Liu Biao was in Xiangyang, In order to gain the support of these aristocratic families, I have always been indulging in them. This problem has been around for a long time, and it was not caused temporarily."
Liu Bei has always been contradictory about how to deal with this matter, and severely punished them for fear of causing turmoil. If they are not severely punished, the people will suffer, and the benevolence and justice that they advertise will not be convinced, and the people will lose their support.
"Father, I think that if you want to achieve a great cause, you must take the people as the foundation. As long as you have the support of the people in Xiangyang, these noble families are not enough to suffer." Liu Xun is itchy to these rascals, and is determined to severely punish them.
"Xun'er's statement is very reasonable. At the beginning, we had just occupied Xiangyang and our foothold was not stable, so we did not dare to touch these family members. Now that the people of Xiangyang have fully supported us, it is time to punish these rascals. If it is to gain their support Without severe punishment, it is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, and there are endless disasters." Liu Bei finally made up his mind to punish these dudes who bullied men and women.
Liu Bei called a group of ministers in the governor's house, publicly appointing Liu Xun as special envoys, Guan Yu and Sun Gan as deputy special envoys, to thoroughly investigate the case of the dudes of the family and bullying men and women.
After receiving the appointment, Liu Xun dispatched people to collect evidence. Liu Xun understands that the case is handled by evidence, and only the evidence is conclusive can it be justified. Moreover, the Jingzhou clan in Xiangyang is very powerful. Their disciples and deceased officials are all over Jingzhou. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.
Liu Biao originally occupied Jingzhou with the help of the family. Therefore, Liu Biao was very indulgent to them, which further contributed to their arrogance. Now these aristocratic clans have become unfavorable factors affecting the development of Xiangyang. If they are allowed to develop, it will inevitably lead to the poor livelihood of Xiangyang people and political chaos.
After a long month of investigation, Liu Xun has found out. There are four major families in Xiangyang, namely the Su family, the Su Dynasty is the representative; the Kuai family, Kuai Yue is the representative; the Fu family, represented by Fu Xun. The Wang family is represented by Wang Can. Moreover, Kuai Yue, Fu Xun, and Wang Can all served as officials in Jiangling, but their family did not move to Jiangling.
Their sons, grandsons and even domestic slaves have done illegal things in Xiangyang. The people gritted their teeth, but they dare not speak. The playboy who wanted to persecute Diao Chan was Kuai Yue's son, Kuai Yuan.
After Liu Xun fully grasped the evidence of the four great clans, he sent troops to ransack them home. All those dandies who usually oppress the people and force them to be concubines are all arrested. A public trial was held in the Cishi Mansion in Xiangyang.
Those people who are usually oppressed have reported their evil deeds one after another, which is really happy.
However, Liu Xun's men had different opinions on how to deal with these people.
Sun Gan believes that these people are powerful, and there are people in the family serving as high officials in Jiangling. If they are dealt with seriously, it will affect the relationship with Liu Biao.
Guan Yu believes that these people are extremely guilty and that not killing is not enough for civilians to be angry.
Liu Xun believes that these people have committed serious crimes and that it is not enough to deal with them seriously. However, if the killing is too heavy, it will affect the relationship with Liu Biao. There must be a proper way to deal with it. Make up his mind. Liu Xun went to Liu Bei to explain himself The way to deal with it.
When he arrived at the Eastern Hospital, Liu Xun asked, "The criminal evidence of those dudes has been verified. How does my father want to deal with these people?"
"This case has been handed over to you, what do you think should be done?" Liu Bei asked instead instead of answering.
"I think that Kuaiyuan has repeatedly destroyed families and robbed other people’s wives. The crime is serious and should be punished. The others should each be hit with 50 blocks. In addition, they only need to give them very little living expenses. Land, money, etc. are all confiscated, and salaries are drawn from the bottom of the tank to completely cut off their foundation." Liu Xun said the disposal method he had been thinking about for a long time.
Liu Xun's method is very clever, not only did not kill too much, but also completely solved the family problem in Xiangyang and won the hearts of the people.
Liu Bei listened to Liu Xun’s method and agreed with him very much, and said with satisfaction, “Xun’er, your method is very good. However, one should also be added to allow these families to leave by themselves. Continue to live in Xiangyang. As long as we abide by the law, we welcome it; we don’t stop anyone who is willing to leave."
Jiang is still old and spicy, and Liu Bei's supplement makes Liu Xun's method perfect. It is full of human touch and indirectly shows that it is not aimed at the family, but in accordance with the laws and regulations.
The four aristocratic families have been organized like this, and they have no face to stay in Xiangyang. The Su Dynasty moved his family to Changsha. The other three families went to Gangneung with their families because some of them were officials in Gangneung.
The big rock on the heads of the people in Xiangyang was completely resolved. Everyone was very happy and very grateful to Liu Xun. The prestige of the Liu family in Xiangyang has been further enhanced.
Diao Chan was also very grateful to Liu Xun for helping him solve his troubles, and there was no dude to pester her anymore, so Diao Chan personally went to the door and thanked Liu Xun for his help. Diao Chan's troubles are gone, but Liu Xun's troubles are still there. Until now, Liu Xun had never seen Zhuge Kongming, and he was very anxious.
Time flies quickly, spring is about to end, summer is about to come, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are more and more birds. One morning, after eating dinner, Liu Xun was standing by the window, looking into the distance, lost in thought.
Suddenly someone yelled: "My son, my son..."
Liu Xun looked up, saw Mi Zhu, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Master Mi? So anxious?"
"Mr. Wolong is home, the lord wants you to rush to the governor's mansion to meet, and go to Longzhong to meet Mr. Wolong." Mi Zhu said excitedly.
"Good, good..." Liu Xun was more excited than Mi Zhu, and hurried to the governor's mansion...
