Even outsiders like Du Ji and Yang Xiu could hear Wang Bi turning against each other on the street and Wei Kang, the Wei branch, was arrested and questioned. Obviously, this matter has reached the final sprint stage of closing the net, and the picture is revealed.

On that day, early on the third day of the July 1st, the Jingzhao Yin Mansion's Office was in charge. Li Su, who had not tried the case for two months, actually personally handled a case for the first time.

The judicial system at the end of the Han Dynasty was not so particular. As long as the "spring and Autumn Annals and the conviction of the mind" was achieved, the "five listening" was used to obtain evidence.

The biggest case must be reported to the Tingwei. Ordinary local officials can try it themselves, but they can't be too busy to hand it over to the officials of the law. There is no strict court etiquette and majesty in the Tang and Song dynasties. Since the chaos in the Zhongping period, they have been even less particular.

Therefore, Li Su rarely makes a case and doesn't have to wear a special crown or uniform, just like the usual attitude of selecting talents.

Wei Kang of Jingzhao Wei was not tied up, but was escorted by a servant with a torture stick, pushed to the hall, and heard Li Suyi ask questions.

There were no ordinary people outside the hall to listen, but some officials from Jingzhao Yin and even the children of other Jingzhao clans who were invited to listen.

There is no ambiguity between the two parties in the basic situation of the case, so there is nothing to ask about.

Li Suxian asked someone to show a few pieces of evidence, mainly personal evidence, and several disciples and slaves sent by Wei Kang to spread rumors were arrested by Jing Zhao Yin's servants, and then they asked them to confess in the court, what did the head of the family Wei Kang ask them to do?

These people have naturally been beaten a lot and honestly, and Li Su promised to protect them as long as he told the truth. So they admitted in court that it was Wei Kang who asked them to spread rumors everywhere that Jingzhao Yin exploited the people, and the government made a profit from the high grain prices.

After the witness was heard, Li Su looked stern: "Wei Kang, what else do you have to say? These people spread rumors and falsely accused the court of charity for disaster relief, and they were guilty of a great crime!"

At this point, Wei Kang was still unwilling to accept it and defended himself: "This dynasty has never heard of scholars worrying about national affairs and making many comments, so he was convicted for his words. Wei asked them to call on these words, but Wei was only angry that the people were declining, unwilling to accept the people's reluctance, endured exploitation, and spoke for justice.

Even if what you said in the end is different, and according to the "Spring and Autumn Annals and the conviction of the mind", it is just a kind-hearted act and a little misunderstanding. Could the Prime Minister Li want to punish me for these reasons? How do I know how much you have earned by raising the price of grain?"

Not to mention, Wei Kang's words were somewhat shocked by later generations when he was defended. "Although we are talking about fake news, the rumors are the truth." Li Su really couldn't directly cure him.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many cases of Tai students criticizing current affairs. During the reign of Emperor Huan, eunuchs harmed Qingliu officials, which led to "thousands of Tai students Liu Tao who came to the palace to write letters". Scholars were worried about the country and the people who commented on current affairs even if they said it wrongly, they could not be punished.

Fortunately, Li Su was prepared, so he was leisurely using the folding fan as a gavel, and he shouted in a low and powerful voice:

"What a conviction. In this way, do you think that you have made people rumor that the government has raised the price of grain for profit, and that they are for the country and the people? Then the king will repent and confess to me, saying that you have discussed with him a long time ago that you will destroy the court to provide relief to the poor, so that you can sell land and annex the land while the poor are in the desert! How do you explain this?"

Wei Kang didn't know what Wang Bi was like, and thought he had not left any physical evidence, and he immediately said, "That must be the king who will frame me, or someone instructed Wang Bi to frame me."

Our family has a good relationship with Wang Bi. This is true, but he would not have taken the initiative to anger Shangguan and spread remarks that are not conducive to Jingzhao Yin's disaster relief? His words and deeds are erratic, and they are also out of his own intentions, so why did he bite others!

Besides, Wang Bi has always been dissatisfied with the prefect's actions in civil affairs, so why would he suddenly "repent" to you? Is this a saying that deceives the world without any ears and eyes! I hope the king will face it in front of you!"

Li Su's nasolabial folds twitched: "It's a pity that Wang must not confront you."

When Wei Kang suddenly heard this, he suddenly became energetic and fought back proudly: "The prefect is afraid that the prefect will not criticize the king and betray him for no reason? So he dare not let him witness the confrontation! I said, how could the king suddenly change his temperament? Haha, if you want to be punished, you have no choice but to be punished? Unfortunately, the king of Hanzhong was destroyed by you, a corrupt official!"

When Wei Kang said this, he was still full of righteousness. People who didn't know the truth might really think that he was a hero who pleaded for the people.

Li Su looked at him coldly, and when he finished his complacent, he took out some letters and a tied Xue Ti, and carried up several corpses of guards sent by Cao Cao.

Then Li Su spoke leisurely: "The king must not confront you because I have protected the king at an absolutely safe place. Recently, I must prevent the assassin of Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, the general of the expedition, from finding it-

Let me introduce that this person's name is Xue Ti, who was sent by Cao Cao to contact the former official Wang Bi. His mission was to destroy the relationship between the King of Hanzhong and even the Chang'an court and the two Yuans, especially since destroying the cooperation between the three parties in buying grain and disaster relief, the two General Yuan distrust the court even more and were in danger.

It’s ridiculous that you still thought you had used Wang Bi and let Wang Bi stand up; in fact, you still don’t know that you have become Cao Cao and Wang Bi’s pawn! If I hadn’t been offended by Wang Bi’s seemingly straightforward advice, and would not have accused him of his achievements in robbing decisions, but rather generously promoted him to the title, otherwise he would not have repented, confessed his guilt and proved Cao Cao.”

The effect of this killer move was indeed amazing. Not only Wei Kangru fell into an ice cave, but he felt that he was caught. Even the children of the Du family, Yang family and other aristocratic families who were listening, and a group of Jingzhao officials were shocked.

"What? There is such a big connection behind it, and many parties have used each other? If this is true, Wei Kang and the others are too ridiculous. They think that using others to do something small, but others use them to do something big."

The children of aristocratic families who surrendered for a while whispered, and the scene became quiet.

Wei Kang finally came to his senses and wanted to reduce the guilt as much as possible, emphasizing that he was completely exploited and did not know about Xue Ti at all - but this also meant a disguised admission that he did have collusion with Wang Bi, but the collusion content was less than what Li Su said.

Li Su's move was equivalent to slapping the opponent's first slap in the face, and the other party wanted to slap back with great momentum. But Li Su slapped the other party twice and showed off his muscles that "if you don't accept it, I can slap you five more legally" and gave a sweet date, saying, "As long as you admit that you deserve the first three slaps, I have the strength to hit you in the back five, but I am willing to let you go without hitting them."

Then the other party became timid.

Wei Kang soon became the focus of today's trial, and the focus became Wang Bi and Xue Ti's former collusion, and the case was soon decided.

Everyone is convinced by the truth of the matter.

However, Wei Kang did not make any other substantial moves of resistance. He spread rumors from beginning to end and attacked Liu Bei's camp. It was not good to be directly convicted and killed for his words. Moreover, Li Su and Liu Bei had to show that "these people were used by the king before they were repentant", and scored a sentencing gradient.

So in the end, for the sake of the former Liangzhou Governor Wei Duan, Li Su just dismissed his son Wei Kang's official position and confiscated the property of Wei Kang's branch, mainly to destroy all the land deeds of Wei Kang's family and take over the land to the state.

Of course, in this process, Jingzhao Wei family had to save some more, because Wei Kang and his brothers, and even Wei Duan and his clan brothers, that is, Wei Kang and his uncles, were not very clear about their separation.

At this moment, when Li Sufang and others met, they only attacked one of the branches. They had more or less the chance to transfer all the unknown property of the land, or gold, silver, copper, and brocade as movable property to other brothers.

According to the final verification, the land where Jingzhao Wei family, the largest family in Guanzhong, was punished also accounted for more than 20% of the family's total land, equivalent to the arable land area of ​​one and a half counties.

The land in the Wei County of Jingzhao County belongs to the Wei Family, and the Fufeng County next door is Huaili County, and most of the land belongs to the Wei Family. Nowadays, the Wei Family property in these two counties has been treated according to Wei Kang's field. Because of mistaken collusion with Cao Cao, the harmony between the imperial court and the vassal states was destroyed, and confiscated.

After the handling of the opinions, other aristocratic families were worried, thinking that fortunately, when Li Su made great efforts to cultivate water conservancy and eliminate locusts to fight disasters, he did not come forward to stop it or talk sarcastic. Otherwise, the unintentional disaster caused by this misconstraint today might be his turn.

"Wei Kang is really a little bit too much to betray this kind of mess! But speaking of this, is Liu Bei really the destiny of heaven? According to what he said in today's hall, the king must have hidden so deeply that he was detained as an official in court by Li Jue for two years, and he still cares about Cao Cao, but he has not been attracted by Li Jue.

But why did Liu Bei come in less than two months? Wang Bi was so proud of Liu Bei's reward for giving him a blunt advice, promotion and reward, and made him grateful and regretful? Wouldn't that mean that Liu Bei's enlistment of the king for one month, and more effective than Li Jue's enlistment of the king for one year? This is really terrible Liu Bei's ability to make talents return home. Such a steadfast undercover agent would take the initiative to surrender."

The children of those aristocratic families are thinking about these issues at this moment.

Fortunately, they were from the late Han Dynasty and didn’t know how to compare them. If they were to change to a later audience, seeing this example, the example of “CIA asked the beautiful agents to assassinate Fidel, but the beautiful agents were convinced and betrayed after being slept by Fidel once” would definitely appear in their hearts as a comparison.

Of course, there is no need to take Fidel as an example. Just say that Liu Bei in history also had the deeds of "others sending assassins to assassinate him, but the assassin was unbearable because of his kindness. However, Liu Bei did not have the chance to be a plain again in this life, so he could not encounter this.

No matter what, all the witnesses were shocked by Liu Bei's "this is so popular."

Even though this incident was a by-product of Li Su accidentally creating a god by accidentally planting willows. Later, in the historical records, it was written as "Wang must be moved by Liu Bei's courtesy of the wise and magnanimous people. Li Jue won him for two years and he always looked up to Cao Cao and was unyielding. After Liu Bei won him for a few days, he gave up Cao Cao."

...

After the trial of Wei Kang, Xue Ti and others' cases, the next morning, Li Su called Yang Xiu, the envoy who had already been decided, and explained some requests to him in person.

Li Su and Yang Xiu had not had much interaction with each other, nor had they talked about their knowledge several times, but he did not doubt the use of people and made the task straightforward:

"Brother Dezu, this time, I'm sorry, you tied up this Xue Ti to the envoy Yuan Shao. If you do it well after you come back, are you still afraid that you will not be able to hold a first or second position in the Honglu Temple?"

Yang Xiu did not expect Li Su to be so straightforward and immediately bowed his order: "Thank you for your trust in the prefect. As soon as Xiu took office, he entrusted him with important tasks. I hope to hear the prefect's specific request, but I don't know what purpose to achieve when I see Yuan Shao this time?"

Li Su stretched out three fingers: "First, of course, I asked Yuan Shao to organize Hanoi business travel and gas to sell grain and rice, and go through Hedong to Jingzhao to help me stabilize the people of Guanzhong.

Secondly, fully explain to Yuan Shao the malice that Cao Cao tried to destroy the mutual trust between the two Yuans and the court. You also brought all the certificates of the people. I heard that you and Yuan Shao are also close to each other. If this cannot be believed by Yuan Shao, it will be your incompetence.

Third... Uh, forgive me, I am used to talking to the king. I have always had to make up three strategies, but I missed the tongue. There is no third this time. Otherwise, I will divide the stolen goods with Yuan Shao as the third place.

Didn’t he have time to seize Shangdang County in Bingzhou? Just tell Yuan Shao that Shangdang County belongs to him, and the territory of the Black Mountain bandits will be destroyed by him. Hedong County and even the corners occupied by other white wave thieves will be completely conquered next year. However, this year, he is unable to go out to fight, so he is not allowed to cross the boundary and grab. In addition, he is not allowed to shelter and win over the population assets of the Wei clan of Hedong. Even if the Wei clan of Hedong takes the initiative to join him, he is the people of the King of Hanzhong."

Yang Xiu raised his eyebrows: What does this mean? Looking at Li Su's natural expression when he talked about the third sentence and the stiff tone in the second half, there is obviously a third. Could it be something difficult to say or disrespectful? As for the temporary addition of "I want to place Hedong County into Liu Bei's sphere of influence", it is obviously not that much and is quite easy to complete.

I have to say that the IQ of a person like Yang Xiu and his personality flaws that show off his brain are the most suitable for Dihua. Li Su clearly said nothing, but he insisted on challenging himself and making up for a third.

However, with his mind that acts at the right time, he has really figured out some possibilities for him.

"What is the point of completing these three tasks that were explained in public? When Zigong came out in ancient times, he preserved Lu and Qi, defeated Wu and Qiang Jin. Now, when the right general first sent the Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu, he often killed three birds with one stone.

Although I, Yang Dezu, is not talented, with my perfect tongue, I should be ranked alongside the two great men of ancient and modern times. In addition to these three items, I have to establish some more Liu Bei. Both Yuan Shao must be grateful for my great achievements. That is what it means to be capable!"
