Chapter 0431: Qingzhou Punishes Evil Officials [5]
After Luo Yunxiao figured this out, his whole heart was completely relieved, even if he locked them up and gave them good food and drink, as long as he caught that Du Hetao in his hand, and then released his family, it would not be too late.
Liu Xiangwei took advantage of the free days to go back to the capital, mainly to ask the little emperor for a will. After all, if you want to kill more than 100 officials in a state or county, you still have to let the emperor make up your mind, so that it will be safer. Don't cut it first and then play it later, if you are caught by others, you will be much more passive.
For this kind of thing, when the little emperor heard it, he immediately gave instructions, and all the convicts did not need to be tried in three sessions, and all of them were executed. and also gave Liu Xiangwei a secret spell, specially named Luo Yunxiao as the pre-sentence imperial history, Liu Xiangwei as the prison officer, and acted as an agent for all matters in Qingzhou. In other words, with this will of the emperor, it is useless for anyone to intercede. Both of them are now responsible for representing the emperor's will.
It stands to reason that with the emperor's personal decree, there should not be any resistance. However, this is often the case in this world, and the more you try to get things done smoothly, the more obstacles you can't escape. Isn't it? A group of 11 court lobbyists soon came to Mengcheng County, and they came to put pressure on Luo Yunxiao and Liu Xiangwei for Du Hetao and others.
The leader of this lobbyist group is not someone else, this person is the general of the Three Princes who had a holiday with Luo Yunxiao at that time, Ma Zilong, the founding company. He brought 2 2-rank court officials, 4 3-rank court officials and 4 4-rank court officials this time, and together with him there were 11 people.
The purpose of their coming here this time was to ask Liu Xiangwei, Luo Yunxiao and others to release all the arrested county, state, and county officials. There are a lot of benefits to these people, and no matter what, we must help them get away with their crimes.
After Sima Zilong was caught by Luo Yunxiao, he compromised because of his threat, which was equivalent to letting Luo Yunxiao put him aside, he had always had hatred in his heart! I've always wanted to find an opportunity to turn this humiliating situation around.
This time he finally found his chance. Sima Zilong had already thought about it, this time he must let Liu Xiangwei and Luo Yunxiao dance with his baton, lead them by the nose, and let them follow their own ideas, they must do what they say, there is no room for maneuver.
Therefore, when Sima Zilong saw Luo Yunxiao and Liu Xiangwei, the first thing he said was only 4 words: "Let the people go!" ”
In terms of official position, Sima Zilong is a relative of the emperor and a member of the imperial court, and in terms of official authority, he naturally suppressed Luo Yunxiao and Liu Xiangwei. According to common sense, if it was other officials, let alone wait for Sima Zilong to speak. As long as he stopped there, it was estimated that he would surrender without killing and raise his hands to surrender.
However, the two people he met today were not ordinary people, and they would not easily disarm and surrender. Especially Luo Yunxiao, he will never care what kind of prince or king you are. Even if it's an emperor, as long as you don't do it right, he won't sell your account.
So Luo Yunxiao snorted and sneered a few times, and only replied to Sima Zilong with 3 words: "Why?" ”
This made Sima Zilong immediately angry. In any case, he is a supreme figure of a very popular minister, a stinky boy who has not even grown his hair and is not an official, he dares to act so boldly, and asks him "Why!" ”
Why? It is based on his real power to make them obedient, and it is because he has this domineering. To put it bluntly, sometimes even the little emperor has to obey his words obediently, let alone this stinky boy who is not in the stream.
Luo Yunxiao said boldly, "Why? Suddenly, Sima Zilong was about to faint. In this world, there was only one person who asked him these 3 words, that is, his brother, the first powerful person in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Yue, the general of the Heavenly King. In addition, even the little emperor Sima Dezong did not ask this question.
Luo Yunxiao, a little deflated three, a little red guy, a little coffin, a little floating corpse, and a little raised head {these are all scolding children in Shanghainese} dared to ask him "why". This is the second person who dares to ask him such a rhetorical question since the beginning of the world. That Sima Yue is the first person who really holds the supreme power today, let alone ask himself, even if it is to scold and humiliate him, it is reasonable.
But what kind of thing is Luo Yunxiao! A nouveau riche on the rivers and lakes, with some strange weapons in his hands and some soldiers and horses, dare to argue with himself like this? This kid is too arrogant!
Sima Zilong pointed at Luo Yunxiao's nose on the spot and scolded angrily: "Hmph! Ignorant children, arrogant people too! What do you say Grandpa Ben is for? You first put the trick on Grandpa Ben a little brighter. Now that you are honestly letting people go, Grandpa Ben will not embarrass you, as long as you are honest and obedient in the future. Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's release them quickly! ”
Sima Zilong completely used the method of dealing with those ordinary people, and he wanted to suppress the momentum of Luo Yunxiao and Liu Xiangwei, but he saw the wrong person. After all, Liu Xiangwei is an authentic second-grade official of the imperial court, and his behavior is still relatively regular. He would not turn his face with Sima Zilong unless he had to.
And Luo Yunxiao is very different. There is no concept of nobility and inferiority, and his impression of Sima Zilong has always been difficult to compliment. Therefore, he said unceremoniously: "General Sima, although you speak very politely, Luo still tries to be polite to you and give you a little face." But if you want Luo to release people, hehe! Luo still presents you with 3 words, impossible! ”
Sima Zilong was really going crazy this time, and he had the urge to immediately pounce and strangle Luo Yunxiao to death.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xiangwei didn't dare to be silent any longer. If he continues to be silent, it may inevitably cause incompatibility and lead to a mess that will be difficult to clean up. He hurriedly said, "Master Sima, please don't be impatient. This is His Majesty's will, and the corruption case is fully undertaken by General Luo, and he also appoints subordinates to assist. Here is His Majesty's decree, you might as well take a look at it first! ”
Sima Zilong took the holy decree in his hand and looked at it, and knew that this was indeed the will of the little emperor. As a result, he was a little uneasy. After all, this represents the highest will of the country, although he doesn't regard the little emperor as a thing in his heart, he still doesn't dare to act unscrupulously and recklessly. Now the time is not ripe, and it is not yet time for a complete showdown with the little emperor, so those who should endure it must endure it.
