As soon as he walked out of the palace, Huang Zhong immediately asked Lu Bu and Dian Wei to call them and gave them a list. This list is what Liu Yu just gave.

"Fengxian, evil, these people are all wanted to be arrested by His Majesty, you two soldiers are divided into two ways, you must catch them." Huang Zhong said.

"The last general commands." Dian Wei patted his chest and said.

Lu Bu arched his hand and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law will definitely do it properly." ”

Dian Wei and Lu Bu took the list, and after assigning their respective tasks, they set off immediately.

Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu, who was far away, and said enviously to Huang Zhong: "General, it's really a blessing for you to have a son-in-law like Feng Xian." ”

Huang Zhong glanced at Cao Cao and didn't say anything.

Cao Cao smiled awkwardly.

Since Dian Wei was in charge of the entire Luoyang garrison, he had already ordered the entire Luoyang city gate to enter and not to leave. This is to prevent the ministers who have committed the crime from running away.

In fact, Dian Wei has too many concerns, and at this point, there are few unclean ministers who are willing to run away. I can run for a while, but I can't run for a lifetime. Even if you are fine, future generations will have to live incognito, so it is better to face it simply. In the world of the Shenwu Imperial Court, they can't escape.

Lü Bu and Dian Wei's actions went very smoothly, and most of the guilty ministers were caught.

There are not many ministers on the list, only ten. Lu Bu and Dian Wei each caught four, and the remaining two did not run away, but died. It was not that they resisted and were killed by Lu Bu and Dian Wei, but that they ended up on their own.

In layman's terms, it is suicide in fear of sin. They knew that Liu Yu had been preparing to liquidate the family, and almost all of these officials were from the family, and they were also looking for their own death. Before dying, they hoped that their death could calm Liu Yu's anger and let Liu Yu spare their family.

It's a pity that they died in vain.

After receiving the information from Fa Zheng and Zhang Song, Liu Yu was worried that there would be corruption under his rule, and he was also thinking about how to use this matter to give a big purge to the officials from the big family.

Before Liu Yu ascended the throne, the former bureaucrats and ministers of the old family submitted to Liu Yu. Liu Yu has been thinking about how to get rid of these people. Others don't know the virtues of these ministers, but Liu Yu has a deep understanding. They have a firm grasp of knowledge, land, and official positions, and they vigorously suppress those who come from poor backgrounds. No matter how many emperors are changed, these families will always be reused, and they will continue to be rich and rich. No matter how much the emperor trusted them, they only had their own family interests in mind.

These remnants of the family will continue to assimilate other new officials, making them exactly the same.

Out of consideration for his own country, Liu Yu always finds an opportunity to deal with the family. And this time, it was also Liu Yu's actions against the family.

After so many years of development, many of the officials under Liu Yu's rule were from poor backgrounds, and some officials from a few families were also considered upright. Only some officials from a large family who are not very obedient will keep their bad habits all the time.

Liu Yu also wanted to see how he would respond to the big family this time when he made a move on the big family.

The ministers who were unclean, except for the two who committed suicide, were all put into prison, and even their families were put into prison.

And Cao Cao, as the chief judge, began to interrogate these ministers in the prison.

The eight ministers who were arrested were Wang Hui, the chief of the history, Chen Ji, the Honglu Shaoqing, Wei Song, the Taizhong doctor, Dou Gan, the Fu Jieling, the Shilang Tian Xing, the Guanglu doctor Wen Lu, the bus commander Cheng Shen, and the Taile Ling Zhang Song.

"You are all important ministers of the court, and you should all know what this official is doing here today. Will you be questioned by the judge about the crimes you have committed, or will you tell them yourself? Cao Cao's face was very flat, as if he was here to do something.

When they were caught, the eight ministers knew that they would not end well.

Wang Hui was a hard bone, and sneered: "What's the use of saying it? It's all a death anyway! ”

The others were silent, and they showed their support for Wang Hui with their actions.

"Good! Great! The Wang family deserves to be a famous family. Your Lord Wang deserves the admiration of this official! Then the official will not be verbose. Gongda, if you record it, you will say that Lord Wang confessed all! Cao Cao said to Xun Yu behind him.

Xun You has now become Cao Cao's clerk, and he quickly recorded it according to Cao Cao's orders.

"Lord Wang, this official will give you a heads-up. This time, quite a few officials have confessed to your charges of embezzlement and bribery, bending the law for personal gain, and defrauding the monarch. Since you have said so much, you have admitted it. According to the law of the Han Dynasty, you should be sentenced to be beheaded all over the house. Cao Cao said this very casually, as if it was an ordinary thing for Wang Hui's family to be beheaded.

"Cao Mengde, what did you say? Raid all over the house!? Wang Hui was shocked, this was full of beheading, he really didn't think it was so serious.

"It doesn't make sense to say that now. Come on, take Lord Wang down and wait for disposal! Cao Cao waved his hand.

In an instant, several jailers dragged Wang Hui down to the cell.

"No, Captain, this officer has something to say! I have something to say. Wang Hui understood that if he was really dragged down, his whole family would have no way to live.

But Cao Cao couldn't hear it, so he took a cup of hot food and drank it leisurely.

Wang Hui was pulled down, and the remaining seven ministers felt a chill circling around their necks.

"Do you have anything to say, my officer's time is precious. If you don't have anything to say, then it's the same as Wang Hui. Cao Cao said.

The seven ministers instantly became nervous. Same as Wang Hui? The same full of slashes? Or is it the same as being pulled down? This has to be thought through. If you can't say anything clearly, it's not like what others can say.

Guanglu Doctor Wen Lu felt that he could still save it, and said: "Lord Taiwei, we are all members of the imperial court, even if we are guilty, we should also give an order from His Majesty, and the three divisions will be tried." I'm afraid it doesn't conform to the law of the Han Dynasty when the Taiwei interrogates us like this! ”

Yes, it must be triaged by three divisions. Now that they have been arrested and sent to the prison, their people must have received the news, and they must be constantly moving around now. The key is time, to give enough time for your own people to move around.

"Definitely hold off for some time!" The remaining seven people all thought so.

Cao Cao looked at these seven bastards who didn't know whether they were alive or dead with contempt, and when they were dying, they had to fantasize about something else, didn't they know that Liu Yu was going to kill them?

"Holy Decree, Please!" Cao Cao stood up and said.

A eunuch did not know when he appeared, holding a scroll of holy decrees respectfully in both hands.

Chen Ji, Wen Lu and the other seven knew that it was not good at a glance.

The eunuch opened the holy decree and read: "Since the Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven has all been meticulous in his business to hunt the world." I am thin and lucky, and I am fortunate to be loved by all the people in the world. I wish that the world will be peaceful, the prosperous world will last forever, and the officials will be upright and the people will respect them. However, I am now disappointed. Today, Wang Hui, the chief official of the history, Chen Ji, Honglu Shaoqing, Wei Song, the Taizhong doctor, Dou Gan, the Fu Jie Ling, the squire Tian Xing, the Guanglu doctor Wen Lu, the bus commander Cheng Shen, and the Taile Ling Zhang Song, formed a party for personal gain, embezzled and accepted bribes, filled their pockets, and deceived the king! Cao Mengde, Minister of Military Aircraft, Captain Tai Li, and Li Zhongyun, Captain of Si Li, presided over the trial, and once verified, they will be severely punished! ”

After listening to this holy decree, Chen Ji, Wen Lu and the others had nothing to say, the holy decree they wanted had already arrived.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything else to say?" Cao Cao asked again.

The seven offending ministers dismissed the idea of justification, they did not want to say more, and it was useless to say more.

Seeing that these people didn't speak, Cao Cao didn't bother to waste time, so he stood up and took Xun You to the gate of the prison.

Cao Cao's move made Chen Ji and them wake up instantly, could it be that Cao Cao was going back to Liu Yu to return to his life? Even if you want to go back, why are you leaving them here?

However, before they could think about it, not long after Cao Cao walked out of the prison, a lewd figure came in with a large group of people.

"I know that mercy against you people will not work. Mrs. Cao is just too reasonable. The obscene figure is another chief judge, Li Gui and Li Zhongyun.

Behind Li Gui is a "shadow" spy, the kind that specializes in interrogation.

Chen Ji, Wen Lu and the others were immediately startled when they saw Li Gui's appearance. The entire Shenwu Imperial Court knew that it had fallen into Li Zhongyun's hands, and none of them were complete.

They also remembered that when the eunuch recited the holy decree just now, they also mentioned Li Gui. And the eunuch who recited the holy decree also left with Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty often says that if you don't see a coffin, you won't shed tears!" Li Gui sneered: "This official's subordinates haven't moved their muscles and bones for a long time, and today is just the right time to loosen your muscles and bones, so that you can understand your mistakes." ”

The remaining seven people were very terrified when they saw Li Gui's expression, but they also had a hard temper.

Taizhong Doctor Wei Song shouted: "Li Gui! You Rigoletto! Do you think that you can cover the sky with one hand just by flattering your majesty? Sage Yun: I can't punish the doctor! We are ministers of the DPRK and China, and this official is the descendant of the Marquis of Wei Lie of the Han Dynasty, how can you take this official? ”

Wei Liehou is Wei Qing, the general of the Han Wu Emperor period, and Wei Song is the descendant of Wei Qing.

"O Marquis of Wei Lie! This official has always been admired. However, General Wei has a spirit in the sky, and he knows that you have committed so many crimes, will he come out of the mausoleum and kill you, a unworthy descendant! Li Gui said sarcastically.

Don't say anything about Wei Qing's descendants, even Liu Bei, who claims to be the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, hasn't he been told by Liu Yu to do it? Li Guicai will not be frightened by such a background.

"You...."Wei Song pointed at Li Gui's nose and was about to scold.

Li Gui's hand was extremely fast, and he grabbed Wei Song's finger and broke it vigorously, directly breaking it.

The great pain caused Wei Song to kneel on the ground and began to wail.

Li Gui kicked over and scolded: "Can't be punished by the doctor? Is this the phrase that gives you the courage to break the law of the Great Han? This official is fighting a doctor like you today! ”

Wei Song, who was kicked by Li Gui, was speechless.

The other six people immediately helped Wei Song up. Chen Ji glared at Li Gui angrily and said, "Li Zhongyun, Your Majesty is asking you to interrogate me and others, you are like this, you are not afraid of being said to be beaten into a trick?!" ”

"Lord Chen! It seems that you still haven't seen the situation clearly! Li Gui sneered: "The official and the Taiwei interrogated you, and you wept bitterly, remorseful in your hearts, and in order to atone for your sins, you judged yourself!" Isn't it very reasonable for you to think that this official is a reason? Your Majesty and the people of the court, do you believe in this official? Or do you believe in you dead people who died by self-execution? ”

To put it more officially, Chen Ji and others are afraid of suicide.

"My lord! We will not die for our sins! Please spare your life! As soon as they heard that Li Gui was going to move seriously, Dou Gan and Tian Xing knelt down directly for Li Gui.

Li Gui shook his head and said, "If you had confessed honestly in front of the Taiwei just now, the Taiwei might have given you a way to live." But this official is different, this official is responsible for His Majesty. Your Majesty wants your life. ”

Okay, now these seven people finally get it. Their lives are over, and Liu Yu won't give them a way to live.

Except for Chen Ji, everyone else trembled, they really didn't want to die.

"Lord Li, let me ask below, after the family members of the inferior people wait for me, will Your Majesty be embarrassed?" Chen Ji asked.

The so-called people are good at their words, Chen Ji knows that he can't live, so he cares about his family.

Everyone else looked at Li Gui.

Li Gui raised his eyebrows and said, "If you think that your crimes will affect your family, they won't be able to live." ”

This is a simulated statement, so that everyone can't hear a specific meaning.

Li Guike didn't care what these people were thinking, and said to his subordinates: "Come on, send a few adults on the road, so that they have a companion on the Huangquan Road!" ”

The "Shadows" spies quickly took the rope and walked towards Chen Ji and them.

Except for Chen Ji who calmly went to his death, the rest of the people were struggling hard, but they were all pampered people, how could they be the opponents of the spies like wolves and tigers. Including Wang Hui, who was dragged in by the jailer just now, also encountered Li Gui's poisonous hands.

Li Gui used special means to make their deaths hanging, and properly turned them into suicide in fear of crime.

After doing this, Li Gui walked out of the prison with the spies.

Outside the prison, Cao Cao did not leave, and was waiting for Li Gui.

"Master Li, can you go forward with this official?" Cao Cao said flatly.

"Exactly what you want!" Li Gui returned the salute.

The two of them slowly walked towards the palace, if they were to return to Liu Yu.

"Master Li, Your Majesty didn't say that you wanted their lives, and if you do this, you are not afraid that Your Majesty will blame you?" On the way, Cao Cao asked softly.

Li Gui smiled slightly and said, "Taiwei, our Li Gui is a dog beside His Majesty, and sometimes he wants to bite people without the master opening his mouth." ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and he was scheming, and he instantly understood what Liu Yu meant, and Li Gui just guessed.

"Captain, Your Majesty's deep meaning, I guess you can also understand it." Li Guijia had one more sentence.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "It seems that this official has underestimated Master Li." Master Li should be a masterpiece! ”
