Chapter 724 Dong Hu's Arbitrary Action
"Thuwa, do you care?"
Dong Hu doesn't like that every time a large group of officials go out to welcome him. Just treating each other and being polite takes a lot of time, but he also knows that going out to welcome him is also a manifestation of sovereignty and majesty.
After spending an hour or two of politeness, he returned to his temporary residence to take a shower, changed into clean and comfortable clothes, and as soon as he stepped into the hall, Liu Yan, who was increasingly rebellious, was the first to speak up.
Dong Hu did not respond to her words. He first glanced at Dong Hou, who was cold-faced, and then turned to Cai Yong, Qin Kai, and Xu Rong.
"When we were in Qingzhou, we heard that the Beizhen Fushi Department arrested a lot of people. It has been half a year. Have you discovered that someone was wronged and the wrong person was arrested?"
"Tiger baby..."
Liu Yan was extremely annoyed by Dong Hu's ignorance. As soon as he spoke, Liu Bian hurriedly pulled her. Dong Hu turned his head and looked at the siblings and brothers, and turned to Cai Yong, Qin Kai, and Xu Rong again.
"Hou is the brother we have been for twenty years, and is no different from his own brother. However, if he violates the rules, we will also punish him severely."
"Mr. Cai, you are the Chief Censor."
"Qin Kai, you are the Minister of Justice and the Second Auxiliary of the Cabinet."
"Xu Rong, you are the governor of Yanzhou."
Dong Hu pointed at Dong Hou who bowed his head and greeted him, without a trace of expression on his face.
"Dong Hou, commander of the Jinyiwei, did he be wronged and falsely accused others?"
The atmosphere in the hall was instantly depressed, and Cai Yong opened his mouth. He was the highest in terms of prestige and position. He hesitated for a moment and spoke.
"Tiger baby, you..."
"Sir, say directly there or not."
Dong Hu was a little impatient and waved his hand to interrupt and looked at Cai Yong seriously.
"Sir may say that Dong Hou is rough and not safe enough. There are young officials in each county, and there are some who are in charge of the army. They have no decades of experience in governing one state, one county, and one county. We can allow them to make mistakes, but we don't allow them to violate some bottom lines and rules."
"Sir, you are not a member of the cabinet. The officials are rough and not cautious, or have a problem affecting people's livelihood. These are not something you can manage, but are supervised and guided by the six departments of the cabinet. You just need to tell us..."
Dong Hu pointed at Dong Hou again.
"Thick, does it violate the law."
Cai Yong opened his mouth. As Dong Hu said, he did not enter the cabinet. According to Dong Hu's official system reform rules, he could not interfere in government affairs without entering the cabinet. The reason why he was not allowed to enter the cabinet was that Dong Hu once explained that the Censorate was parallel to the cabinet and had the right to impeach any person's illegal acts. However, once he entered the cabinet, the chief minister of the cabinet had the right to supervise the Censorate, which was extremely dangerous.
Seeing that Dong Hu was so straightforward, Old Man Cai seemed a little angry.
"No!"
Dong Hu was secretly amused, but his face was still the same. He looked at Qin Kai, the Minister of Justice. Qin Kai dared not hesitate at all. He took a thick stack of files and stepped forward.
"Return to the lord, General Dong Hou has nothing illegal."
Qin Kai and Duan Ming were originally members of the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou. After being captured, they became the Mr. Pingcheng Academy. Later, Qin Kai served as the prefect of Shangjun, Duan Ming served as the prefect of Xihe County. Later, the two were transferred to Luoyang and became the right-hand man in Daya's government affairs. After the official system reform, Duan Ming and Qin Kai served as the Ministry of Works and the Minister of Justice respectively.
Qin Kai was originally a poor scholar and a prisoner, but now he has become the Minister of Justice and the second assistant to the cabinet. He is also more loyal to Dong Hu. He dared not be careless about the "Dong Hou" matter and hurriedly sent a stack of thick files...
Dong Hu patted the thick file, but did not look through it immediately. He turned to Xu Rong. Xu Rong sighed in his heart and also stood up and clasped his fists.
"The officials did not find any illegal things from General Dong Hou."
Dong Hu nodded, then looked at Liu Yan, who was humming and silent, but his eyes fell on the surprising Xun Yu, with a smile on his face.
"Wen Ruo has been coming from Xiangyang for half a month. Can you ask me, are there any shortcomings in the trial?"
Xun Yu looked solemn, stood up and fisted and said, "Xun had asked others carefully for many days, and he agreed with the general's severe punishment of corruption and food relief, beating people who hurt people's lives, but the matter of wanting to assassinate the general is up to date."
"Oh? Wen Ruoruo may say it, what's wrong with this matter?"
Both of them are smart people. They are extremely difficult to defend themselves by beating people to death. After all, if people die and there is little food, it is easy to investigate the matter clearly. Moreover, Dong Hu distributes the stolen land to ordinary people, and ordinary people stand opposite to the wealthy family. Naturally, the people are unwilling to cover up the wealthy family. It is easy to investigate such crimes, but "assassination" is more troublesome.
Assassination is an extremely secret matter. Few people know it. Once it is leaked, it will be a matter of losing one's head. Even if the person involved is arrested, they will bite it to death. Once the torture is used, it will be a slander.
Xun Yu is a smart person and knows that the "greed and murder" incident is a thunder. If he has any objections to these matters, it will not only make the people of Yanzhou dislike it, but also make the people of Yanzhou dissatisfied with the court, but also make any words he says lose their fairness and credibility.
Xun Yu did not dare to underestimate Dong Hu, and said, "The general is brave and has no rivals. There are elite soldiers and generals around him. How can a few hundred people be injured? Wouldn't it be a death to assassinate?"
Dong Hu nodded and shook his head, and said with a smile: "Wu State Zhuangzhuo and Wang Liao, hiding his sword in the belly of the fish; Jin State Yu Ren swallowed charcoal and destroyed his face to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi; Wei State Jing Ke hid his sword in the picture, assassinating Ying Zheng in front of the ministers in Xianyang Palace..."
"Haha, these are old things."
"The Yueqin Captain Wu Fu assassinated his uncle in public, and Lu Bu colluded with Wang Yun and killed people when he went to the banquet. These things are always in front of him..."
"Wenruo, do you understand what we mean?"
Xun Yu opened his mouth, and Dong Hu's words were already very clear. Killing people does not necessarily require a skilled martial arts. A man splattered with blood for five steps. As long as he approached within three steps, even a woman without the power of a chicken could still kill the brave general.
Seeing that Xun Yu did not speak, Dong Hu looked at Dong Hou again.
"Hao, can you be tortured?"
Dong Hou crossed his hands and stepped forward.
"No."
Hearing such an answer, Dong Hu was about to nod, and Liu Yan was very unhappy to stand up. Even if Liu Bian pulled her arm, he was thrown away.
"Thuwa, if someone really wants to kill you, how could the Jinyiwei not torture him? He is clearly framed and franchise!"
Liu Yan pointed at Dong Hou and was angry. Dong Hu couldn't help but frowned, and he felt a little displeased.
"Do you just hope we'll be killed?"
As soon as these words were said, Liu Bian was shocked. Just as he was about to get up to plead with mercy, Dong Hu glared at him and pointed at Liu Yan, whose face suddenly turned pale.
"Who tells you that you must be severely tortured when investigating a case?"
...
"snort!"
"No matter what means are used to torture the prisoner, as long as the prisoner's psychological defense is destroyed, he will definitely be able to speak!"
"Torturing severely, physically suffering from inhuman torture, destroying the prisoner's psychological defense and letting him speak."
"Using the prisoner's small family as bargaining chips can also destroy the psychological defense line of people with psychological fragility. In addition to these, there are also real evidence to destroy the psychological defense line of others, mental torture, and the use of people's emotions and desires, and the use of people's suspicion, jealousy, and panic... There are many means, so do we have to torture and torture?"
"Who told you-"
"Bang!"
Dong Hu was furious and slapped heavily on the small table, which scared Liu Yan so much that she retreated and knocked over the chair and stool. The hall was so solemn that it was hard to breathe...
"snort!"
Dong Hu snorted coldly and forced himself to anger.
"I am stupid and insist on saying that others are pigs. The jury is fair and elder. What do they do? If Dong Hou is really wronged and framed by others, and then puts out the jury to do it?"
"snort!"
"It has been half a year since September. It's just a little bit of a mess. You have been trying for half a year. Seeing that the millet is about to be cultivated, you have not finished the matter yet, let alone causing Qingzhou and Yanzhou to panic!"
"Qin Kai!"
Dong Hu was annoyed, and Qin Kai hurried forward.
"The official is here."
"I will give you ten days to immediately hear all cases. Anyone who greedyes and helps food, hurts people's lives, and plans to rebel will be exiled to Yanran Mountain as slaves and punished severely according to the law, but only those who are guilty will not offend innocent people."
Qin Kai hurriedly clasped his fists and lowered his body.
"promise."
Dong Hu took a deep breath and calmed down when he looked at Xu Rong.
"Last year, Yanzhou has many hungry people. As the governor of Yanzhou, you should arrange farming properly. The world has the biggest belly, so you should not delay the time for too long."
Xu Rong did not dare to be careless and quickly clasped his fists to agree.
"promise."
Dong Hu nodded to him. Compared to Li Jue and Guo Si, he attached more importance to Xu Rong.
Once he got angry, even Cai Yong dared not be dissatisfied. He had been dealing with Dong Hu for more than ten years and knew that he could not anger the muddy boy at this time, otherwise he would not know what would happen...
"The people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least important."
"We hope you can put the people first and the most important thing!"
As he said that, Dong Hu stood up, and a group of generals all stood up and crossed their hands and fists. Dong Hu ignored these things and walked to Liu Bian who was a little at a loss, patted him on the shoulder, and had a smile on his face.
"You guy is pretty, you actually gave Cao Mengde an eye drop!"
“Not bad…”
Dong Hu was happy. Although he failed to get Cao Cao, he was still very happy with Liu Bian's methods.
"Let's go and have a meal with us."
Dong Hu patted Liu Bian on the shoulder, but Liu Bian looked at Xun Yu, the envoy of the court. Seeing his careful appearance, Dong Hu couldn't help laughing again.
"Don't worry, Wen Ruo had the stakes of the prime minister, and he could definitely see the benefits of Cao Cao as the prefect of Lujiang. Of course, Cao Aman was quite treacherous and unwilling to be a barrier for the court, so he actually ran to Wujun..."
"Didn't you learn it from you?"
Listening to her sister's muttering dissatisfaction, Liu Bian's expression became even more nervous. Dong Huquan pretended not to hear it, but just smiled and walked out of the hall. Liu Bian didn't care about anything else and followed behind quickly. Until the two left, a group of generals straightened their bodies...
"well……"
Cai Yong sighed.
"Tiger baby is still so hot-tempered, so he should be more secure."
Cai Yong sighed. Lu Cui, his student Lu Cui, was a little worried, especially when he saw the expressions of Dong Chong, Hu San, Zhang Liao and others, he hurriedly lowered his head and persuaded Cai Yong.
"The greedy people are willing to help food, kill people, and rebels should be executed according to the law. The lord only exiled him to the north of Mo, and he did not implicate his family... In today's world, there is probably only the lord."
Lu Cui whispered, Cai Yong opened his mouth and finally sighed again. He was the chief censor of the Censorate. Others could not know how the Jinyiwei interrogated him, so how could he not know?
