"Lord!"
Jia Xu looked anxious. As soon as he got off his horse, he hurriedly spoke out and said: "I just received the news that Chen Changwen (Chen Qun's nickname) was assassinated and seriously injured. There was a riot in Jinyang, and the mob attacked the prefect's mansion"
"Bang" Liu Zhe punched the door angrily.
The news brought by Jia Xu is so shocking. Whether Chen Qun is assassinated or a mob riots too far away, a huge storm will be set off.
Who is Chen Qun? He was Liu Zhe's confidant. After being recommended to Liu Zhe by Xun Yu, Liu Zhe put him in charge of law.
Liu Zhe annexed Bingzhou with lightning speed after Wang Yun, the governor of Bingzhou, was killed by Dong Zhuo.
Because it is not justifiable to be merged with the state, there are many dissatisfactions in various places. Therefore, in addition to sending Xi Zhicai to govern Bingzhou, Liu Zhe also sent Chen Qun.
There are two reasons for sending Chen Qun. First, Bingzhou is mountainous and the people have weak legal concepts and are unruly. Chen Qun was sent to let him establish sound laws and use laws to strengthen Liu Zhe's rule.
The second and most important reason is to let him and Xi Zhicai work together to fight against illegal salt in Bingzhou. Bingzhou is mountainous and rich in illegal salt. Every year, Bingzhou loses millions of gold in vain due to illegal salt, which Liu Zhe cannot bear.
After Chen Qun took office, his work was outstanding and fruitful. He and Xi Zhicai joined forces, and various places in Bingzhou gradually turned to Liu Zhe. Bingzhou became the most important place for Liu Zhe to recruit troops, and Bingzhou's annual tax revenue also gradually increased.
Originally, Liu Zhe thought that Bingzhou had been decided and planned to transfer Chen Qun back to Youzhou after a while. Who knew that at this juncture, something like this happened.
After this incident, Liu Zhe had no way to take his daughter out. After handing his daughter over to his wife, he summoned his men for a meeting.
"what is going on?"
The first person to speak out at the meeting was not Liu Zhe, but Xi Zhaoxi. He was the uncle of Xi Zhicai. When he heard about the riot in Jinyang and the assassination of Chen Qun, he was very worried. Xi Zhicai, as the governor of Bingzhou, should bear the main responsibility. Moreover, the mob also besieged the prefect's mansion, and it was not known whether Xi Zhicai was okay.
"Butler, don't worry, Zhicai is fine." Guo Jia knew Xi Zhaoxi's feelings for Xi Zhicai, so he comforted him.
"Wen Ruo, what do you think of this matter?" Liu Zhe asked with a gloomy face. He did not ask Guo Jia, but asked Xun Yu first. He had already read the intelligence and knew what was going on.
The people rioted and besieged the prefect's mansion. Huang Zhong, who was stationed in Jinyang, led his troops to calm down the situation in time. Xi Zhicai was not harmed. Chen Qun who was in the prefect's mansion was also not harmed. However, when he returned home at night, he was stabbed by an assassin. , was seriously injured, but fortunately the doctor's skill saved his life. Xi Zhicai was also stabbed, but the guards around Xi Zhicai were effective and he did not suffer any harm.
Some Jinyang County soldiers rebelled and attacked the people of Jinyang at night, causing great chaos, casualties and casualties. Xi Zhicai quickly found out who was behind all this.
¡°Whether it is a riot by the people, rampant assassins, or a rebellion by county soldiers, there are shadows of the Wang family behind them, as well as other large, medium and small families.
There are three major families in Bingzhou, the Wang family, the Wen family, and the Guo family. These three families are big families that have been in Bingzhou for hundreds of years and are deeply rooted in the local area.
The current Situ Wang Yun was from the Wang family in Bingzhou. If the Wang family took the lead, the significance would be thought-provoking.
Xun Yu had obviously thought about it, and he replied: "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with Wang Situ."
Although Wang Yun was the current Situ, the head of his family was his younger brother Wang Xun.
"Although Wang Yun is a Situ, he relies on our help. At this juncture, he will never dare to fall out with us. For him, we are his allies. Without us, he would soon be kicked out of the court by Cao Cao. To Wang Situ, he is nothing if he is not in the court."
Liu Zhe nodded. Xun Yu was right. Wang Yun was also a Situ after all. He could not be so short-sighted. It would be unwise to turn against Liu Zhe at this time.
At this time, Xun Yu continued: "I guess Wang Situ didn't even know anything about this matter. It was the Wang family's own initiative. Before my lord took over Bingzhou, the Wang family had always been the largest salt merchant in Bingzhou, and private salt could be sold every year. He brought back countless wealth for them from the grassland. My lord is cracking down on smuggled salt, and the Wang family is undoubtedly the one who has suffered the biggest losses. So I am sure that they are taking revenge and demonstrating against my lord."
Liu Zhe¡¯s face was gloomy and he said with anger: ¡°How about killing the Wang family?¡±
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the meeting was not surprised. Liu Zhe was not a saint, and he would not fight back if he was beaten.
However, this matter is not that easy.
Revenge is simple, but if you directly kill the Wang family, the aftermath will be a bit troublesome.
Previously, Liu Zhe risked the world to kill Yuan Shao, which had aroused the dissatisfaction of a large number of people in the world. Shouchun Yuan Shu benefited from this. Countless people turned to Yuan Shu because Liu Zhe killed Yuan Shao, which made Yuan Shu extremely powerful. Big enhancement.
"My lord, please think twice about this matter." Xun Yu had no choice but to persuade him.
The Wang family has a great influence in Bingzhou. In the past, the newly appointed governor or governor would have to visit these local big families. Otherwise, they would not be able to stay.
However, Liu Zhe's eyes became more and more indifferent, which was a sign of extreme anger, which showed that he was going to go on a killing spree!
