Three days later.
Jinyang County, County Governor Manor.
Liu Xian's expression was cold and solemn. He looked at the six people sitting down and said indifferently,""Everyone, tell me what official position you hold and which aristocratic family you come from!”
"Wang Qiu, the governor of Taiyuan, a member of the Wang family in Jinyang. Imperial Censor Wang Yun is my cousin!”Wang Qiu said respectfully.
"Zhang Liao, born into an ordinary family. In the sixth year of Xi Ping, he served as an official in Yanmen County.”Zhang Liao said respectfully.
"Six years of Xi Ping?"
Cheng Yu glared at him and asked," When the Third Commandant went on an expedition against Tan Shihuai, a group of commoners rose up from Yanmen to pave the way for the Third Commandant. Were you among them?"”
"Yes, although Liao was young back then, he was also the commander of a militia!”Zhang Liao explained.
"Continue!" Liu Xian glanced at Zhang Liao and said indifferently.
"Gao Shun was born into the family of the common people. He is the general of Shuofang and leads 800 troops. There is no prefect in Shuofang, so he came alone!”Gao Shun said in a deep voice.
"Zhao Wu, a lieutenant from Taiyuan, was born into a commoner's family!”Zhao Wu said in a deep voice.
"Li Jie, Governor of Dingxiang, born in a merchant family!”Li Jie's eyes flashed with worry.
"Zhong De!"
Liu Xian's gaze landed on Li Jie as he said indifferently.
"Li Jie was born in the first year of Jianning. Three years ago, he spent two million yuan to buy the position of Dingxiang prefect in Luoyang. He has not made any mistakes or made any contributions in the past three years. He is a cautious person. He once joined forces with Zhao Wu to defeat the remnants of the White Valley and the Yellow Turban army.”Cheng Yu said.
"Gulp!"
Li Jie gulped and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Finally, there were three prefects present. One of them was Wang Yun's brother, and the other two were prefects who had bought official positions in Luoyang. The funny thing was that the prefects who had bought official positions did not have any merits or faults.
As for the other captains and generals, they were also brave men who would defend the Great Han's gates.
Wang Qiu was the only one who had committed a heinous crime. He formed a clique with the other tycoons in Taiyuan to seek supreme benefits for his family.
"Ha!"
"Haha!"
Liu Xian chuckled and looked at the eight people sitting down. He said coldly,"Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, take down Wang Qiu. Zhao Wu will lead 1,000 troops to block the Wang family's residence. Li Jie, Feng Kai, investigate the Wang family's crimes in Taiyuan!”
"Here!"
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun caught Wang Qiu with a tiger pounce. Zhao Wu immediately turned around and walked out of the mansion.
Li Jie and Feng Kai were at a loss. They were both prefects bought by merchants. They did not expect to have any great achievements, nor did they dare to do anything outrageous. After all, the status of merchants was too low. If the court attacked them, they would be ousted.
Now, Liu Xian directly asked them to investigate the Wang Consortium. This…
"Hurry up and go!" Cheng Yu glared at the two of them in disappointment.
Right now, Liu Xian was lacking manpower. Clearly, the two of them had done nothing wrong or meritorious. If they could listen to Liu Xian's orders this time, even if they could not sit firmly on the position of prefect, nothing major would happen.
"Here!"
Li Jie and Feng Kai's bodies trembled and they hurriedly ran out of the mansion.
Wang Qiu was dumbfounded. He looked at Liu Xian and said,""Marquis Anping, my elder brother is an imperial censor. If you dare to touch me, he will definitely accuse you in court!”
"Clang!"
Liu Xian pulled out the Zhongxing Sword and swung it forcefully. The three-foot-long sword body directly sank into the thick bluestone. He said indifferently,"Gao Shun, kill him!"
"Here!"
Gao Shun stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the Zhongxing Sword, wanting to pull it out, but even if he used all his strength, he could not move the Zhongxing Sword in the slightest.
"Let me do the killing!”
Suddenly, a figure blocked the entrance of the hall. The person was dressed in tattered clothes, with a cloth bag hanging from his waist and a halberd on his back.
"Ciyin!"
The man drew his Zhongxing Sword and waved his hand.
Wang Qiu's round head rolled to the ground. A large stream of hot blood mixed with the cold winter air, creating a vast mist.
"Jiuyuan Lu Bu greets Marquis Anping!”Lu Bu said solemnly.
"Lu Bu?"
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were shocked.
Liu Xian took the Zhongxing Sword and said with a faint smile,"You're late!"
"It's not too late. Marquis Anping has only just begun to act. Bu has also just arrived, and he even brought a valuable gift!”Lu Bu took off the cloth bag at his waist and threw it on the ground.
Zhang Liao's eyelids twitched.”
"Ding Yuan?"
Liu Xian's heart trembled. Looking at the head sealed in ice and frost, he stood up and questioned,"Why did you kill him?"
"This person isn't fit to be the prefect. On the surface, Ding Yuan is resisting the foreign tribes, but in reality, he is under the control of the Great General He Jin and is conspiring with the Wuhuan Chanyu Qiu Liju to overthrow the Marquis of Anping's regime.”Lu Bu said solemnly.
"Do you have any evidence?" Liu Xian asked.
"He Jin personally wrote it and sealed it with the Great General's seal. If it weren't for him, the Wuhuan wouldn't have plundered Jiuyuan City. He must be killed for both public and private reasons. If the Marquis of Anping is dissatisfied, you can send someone to investigate the fact that Jiuyuan City was destroyed!”Lu Bu took out a letter from his pocket and said in a deep voice.
Liu Xian's eyes twitched. He had never thought that Ding Yuan would still die at Lu Bu's hands.
"What a murderous nature!"
Cheng Yu took the letter from Lu Bu's hands and read it. There was indeed the seal of the Great General, and He Jin had commanded Ding Yuan to ally with Xiongnu Chanyu Qiu Liju to overthrow Liu Xian's regime in Bingzhou.
