A few days later, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, who were selling horses to the south, returned to Bingzhou, with a long caravan.

This is undoubtedly great news for Lu Bu.

Lu Bu found Yan Xin, summoned the two to the mansion, and after asking for warmth, he arranged cooked rice and meat.

The two were flattered by this treatment, but also deeply moved. In other counties, Mo said that the generals and county guards were such big figures, and even some local officials did not take the two of them in their eyes, and the ridicule was always endless.

The two glanced at each other and saw Xinran in each other's eyes, so that they could live up to the general's expectations on this trip.

After eating, he reported to Lu Bu the harvest of the trip.

Heavy thick wooden boxes were carried into the courtyard one after another from the outside, and there were hundreds.

At the signal of Su and Zhang, the caravan servants pried open the wooden box, and the copper coins rang out.

Together, there are tens of millions of money.

Lu Bu didn't seem to be much interested in this, and he asked the two, "How much grain did you collect?" ”

Wuyuan County is exempt from tax for two years, this is just what Lu Bu and Yan Xin meant, the court did not speak, and the tax had to be paid. A county's taxes are more than a penny, and such a big financial hole naturally has to be filled.

When it came to food, the two of them looked a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "General Hui, only 30,000 stone was collected." ”

"So little?"

Lu Bu frowned slightly, you must know that the food expenditure of Wuyuan County for a month is tens of thousands of stones.

The seedlings have just been sown, and there is still a long time before the autumn harvest.

Is it possible for the people to wait hungry?

The older Zhang Shiping's tone was also quite helpless: "We have already bought it at nearly five times the price in the market, but most of the grain is hoarded by local families, and they refuse to sell it, so they ......."

"What, is there a shortage of food in the southern region?" Lu Bu asked suspiciously.

Su Shuang, who was round-faced and chubby, nodded, recalling: "In recent years, there has been a great drought, and the people have rarely harvested, and last year, there was no harvest. There are even some places where there is already starvation, and even worse, it is easy to eat. ”

At this time, in Luoyang City, the wind and clouds were surging.

A few days ago, a Taiping Taoist believer named Tang Zhou sneaked to the mansion of He Jin, a general of the chariot cavalry, and told him.

not only told that Taiping Dao took the opportunity of preaching to plot rebellion, but also confessed to the generous leader of the Sili generation, Ma Yuanyi.

He Jin was shocked into a cold sweat, and actually rebelled under his own nose, if it was spread out, it would be worth it.

Fortunately, God favored him, and two days after the arrest document was issued, Ma Yuanyi was captured by officials in Shanyang County, Hanoi County, and escorted to Luoyang.

In prison, Ma Yuanyi tasted all kinds of criminal laws, but he didn't recognize it alive or dead.

It wasn't until he saw Tang Zhou that he suddenly launched a madness and scolded like a ghost: a traitor, a shameless villain.

However, there was only that, he would rather die than confess his comrades, let alone the names of those people.

He Jin reported the matter to the Son of Heaven, and Liu Hong, who was enjoying himself in Xiyuan, heard about it, his eyes were cold, and his gloomy temperament came up. With Zhou Zhang's three dukes and subordinates, Zhou Bin led the three mansions to lead the subordinates, retrieve the palace guards, Huangmen, eunuchs, etc., as long as there is a suspicion of fornication, he will be immediately imprisoned and strictly interrogated.

In addition, Liu Hong also issued a special order to completely eradicate Taiping Dao.

For those who want to subvert him, Liu Hong will never be merciful, and he will cut off his head.

I'd rather kill by mistake than let go.

He Jin was named Shenhou because of his merits and took full responsibility for this matter.

In Luoyang alone, thousands of believers were arrested.

Ma Yuanyi is a tough guy and refuses to confess.

He Jin took the opportunity to splash dirty water and vigorously suppressed Zhang Rang and other eunuch forces, and many eunuchs and henchmen were charged with treason and sent to prison for trial.

On the day of his execution, Ma Yuanyi lay on the cold stone floor, surrounded by a crowd of people who were happy to watch the play.

The clouds in the sky are so white.

He remembered what the great sage and good teacher had said in the past, that medical skills and talisman water alone could not save these numb people.

He didn't understand it before, but now he suddenly realized.

Unlike those believers who were beheaded, what awaited him was the punishment of the chariot.

The so-called chariot splitting is to put ropes on the head, hands, and feet of the prisoners, and the other end of the rope is tied to five carriages. Five horses went in five different directions, tearing the man into six pieces.

Therefore, the car crack is also called the five horses split into corpses.

He Jin looked up at the hour and raised his hand.

The soldiers on the five carriages drove their horses and ran, and the unkempt man lying on the ground on his back did not see the slightest fear, but laughed: "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand!" The sky is ......"

Blood flew and splattered everywhere.

The living person who was still shouting loudly just now had only a few stumps left, dragged flat by the carriage, and a long scarlet word was drawn on the ground.

The children around them burst into tears, and this cruel picture obviously frightened them a lot. Left a lingering shadow on the young mind.

On the other hand, those peddlers and village farmers who watched the play applauded one after another.

In their view, the divine authority of the monarch and rebellion against the Son of Heaven is to oppose the heavens and the gods, and they deserve to die.

There was only one person, shaking his head and sighing.

"Mengde, why sigh?" The concubine of the Yuan family, who was standing beside him, was a little puzzled.

The young man, who was only seven feet long, looked at the pool of blood on the ground, and said regretfully: "I sigh that this Ma Yuanyi has no skills, but he has done such a rebellious thing. ”

"It's just a thief, what's the pity." Yuan Shao said disapprehantly, "What's more, you haven't seen him, how do you know that he has the ability, maybe he's just a clown." ”

The heroic young man shook his head, his small eyes were particularly bright, and He Hao, a famous man in Nanyang, once asserted: "The Han family is going to die, and those who are in the world will be this person!" ”

If you want to talk about shortcomings, it is probably his height, even compared to ordinary people, he is a little shorter.

"Brother Ben, think about it carefully, what this person has done, which is a trivial matter?"

"Tens of thousands of Daoists in Jing and Yang Prefectures were all summoned by him to Yecheng to gather. The two places are far away from Yecheng, not only have to trek through mountains and rivers, but also have to deal with the cold climate in the north. This is one of them. ”

"The leader of the thirty-six parties, why did he let him be in charge of Luoyang? If he is just a useless thief, how can he contact the palace attendants and call him an internal response? This is also the second. ”

"In addition to this, I have heard that this man endured all kinds of harsh punishments in the imperial prison, passed out several times during this time, and never confessed to his comrades. Until he dies, he can laugh loudly, can such a character be a mere thief? This is also the third. ”

"If it were me, I would definitely take it instead of kill it." The gaze in the young man's eyes is firm, the Han family will be tilted, even if he will support the great cause in the future, it will not be able to do it alone.

After listening to Yuan Shao next to him, he thought about it carefully, and it was really like this.

However, when he heard the last sentence, his face became a little solemn, and he kindly reminded his little brother: "Meng De, maybe you guessed right, but as a brother, I still have to give you a suggestion, this kind of person can't be kept." ”

Even if you give all the glory, they won't die for you.

The young man didn't say anything about this, nor did he argue with Yuan Shao, but just said to himself: "Fortunately, God blesses you." ”

If Tang Zhou hadn't snitched, he didn't dare to think further.
