Chapter 103 Hou Lan 2

Yellow sand is like clouds.

"Lord, the angel is in front of you." The soldier said to Li Zhong, running wildly and rolling up the yellow sand all over the sky.

Well, Li Zhong nodded and waved the whip in his hand vigorously.

"Marquis, they are coming," the bodyguard beside Hou Lan saw the yellow sand rising in front of him, so he said to Hou Lan with a happy face, with a servile face.

Well, Hou Lan didn't even look at him, but just nodded slightly and raised his "arrogant" head.

"Hush", about half a mile away from the front team, Li Zhong took the rein in his hand. When everyone saw Li Zhong disaping from the horse, they also jumped off the horse and followed Li Zhong.

"Dare to ask the Marquis Hou Lan." Li Zhong came to Hou Lan and bowed his fist and asked a little. Seeing that Li Zhong was so modest, Hou Lan nodded with satisfaction. Thinking about it, he, a eunuch could make the herdsman of a state so obedient. How could he make him dissatisfied and happy? He unconsciously commented on Li Zhong unconsciously. It has been improved a little, which means that he thinks that Li Zhong is more superior.

Li Zhong looked at the person in front of him, his face was as pale as a zombie, about 1.7 meters, covering his mouth with a handkerchief in his hand and putting his other hand on his chest. He was doing the action of an orchid finger. How disgusting it was.

Hou Lan, a native of Shanyang Fangdong. In his first year, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty served as a regular servant. He was promoted by relying on the cunning of treacherous tycophants. With the help of the emperor's favor and indulgence, he accepted tens of thousands of bribes. During the Yanxi period, after years of foreign expeditions, the treasury of the state was empty, so he borrowed the salaries of hundreds of officials and the taxes of princes. Hou Lan also offered 5,000 pieces of silk, so he was awarded the title of Marquis of Guannei. And because of his participation in planning to eliminate Liang Ji, he was awarded the title of Marquis of Gaoxiang.

Xiaohuangmen Duan's family lived in Jiyin and bought land with Hou Lan. It was close to the boundary of Jibei. Their servants and guests plundered the people and hijacked passers-by. Teng Yan, the prime minister of Jibei, was arrested, executed dozens of people, and piled up their bodies on traffic arteries. Hou Lan and Duan were furious and reported the matter to Emperor Huan. Teng Yan was sentenced to the crime of indiscriminate killing innocent people and sent to the lieutenant for trial and removed from official positions. Teng Yan, also known as Bo Xing, is a native of Beihai. He later served as Jing Zhaoyin and has made political achievements. He is known as the elder in the world.

Hou Lan and others have been more indulgent since then. Hou Lan's brother, Hou Shen, is the governor of Yizhou. He is a rich civilian in the county. He has been framed for the charges of great rebellion, sentenced to death, and confiscated their property, hundreds of millions of dollars. Lieutenant Yang Bing sued Hou Shen's crime and ordered him to be taken back in a prison car and committed suicide on the way. Jing Zhao Yin Yuan Feng counted Hou Shen's belongings in the hostel, with a total of more than 300 cars, all containing gold, silver, silk and treasures and antiques, which are countless. Hou Lan was implicated in this matter and was removed from his official position. Soon after, he was reinstaled.

In the second year of Jianning, he returned home due to his mother's death and built his mother's mausoleum. Zhang Jian reported that Hou Lan was corrupt and indulgent, and successively took away 381 of other people's houses, 118 hectares of fields, and the 16th house was built. There were high-rise pools and gardens, and the pavilions were connected, all of which were decorated with colorful painting and red paint. The scale was grand. Wei, who used the shape of the palace, built his own mausoleum in advance and built Shuangque, with stones. The houses in the mausoleum are as high as 100 feet, destroying other people's houses and excavating their graves; looting good people, robbing good women as wives, and many other crimes, please ask the Holy One to put them to death. However, Hou Lan took the opportunity to intercept the play halfway, making it impossible for him to report to Emperor Huan. Zhang Jian then destroyed Hou Lan's Shouzhong's house, confiscated his family's wealth, and listed his crimes. He also reported that Hou Lan made guests while his mother was alive, disrupted the national law, and still could not reach Emperor Huan. Therefore, Hou Lan framed Zhang Jian as a party member, and also falsely accused the former Changle Shaofu Li Ying, Taifu Du Mi, etc., to destroy the Yi people. Then he replaced Cao Jie to lead the long and happy servants.

In the first year of Xiping, the relevant official office reported that Hou Lan was exclusive and luxurious and issued an edict to take back his seal. Hou Lan was forced to commit suicide, and those who were attached to him were removed from their official positions.

The spring of 65 is destined to be an eventful spring. On the post road from Yizhou to Beijing, a man died abnormally - died in a prison van. His name is Hou Shen, and he is the former governor of Yizhou. Hou Shen's death was characterized as a corrupt man's fear of suicide.

This case was investigated directly by Yang Bing. But he didn't give up. Because Yang Bing believes that the person is dead and the case is still there, and the suspect in this case should include his brother Hou Lan in addition to Hou Shen.

It's just that Hou Lan's level is too high. He is a middle-time servant. Only the emperor can touch him. Yang Bing presented Hou Shen's confession and the relevant physical evidence found in his home to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would act in accordance with the law.

The confession is true and the physical evidence is iron, but Emperor Xiaohuan's determination to protect Hou Lan is unshakable. This is not only out of balanced politics, but also out of his love for close attendants.

People are not plants, who can be ruthless. Zhongchang's servant Houlan has taken care of himself for so long, and Emperor Xiaohuan is undoubtedly guaranteed.

But whether to guarantee or not is a matter of attitude, and how to guarantee is a matter of ability. Generally speaking, Emperor Xiaohuan's ability is still good. He questioned Yang Bing: In our dynasty, the administrative system has always been very clear. Outside the three public systems and inside the imperial history, is it a violation of our administrative system for you to cross the level and accuse a close official like this?

Yang Bing reacted quickly. He immediately pointed out - did Your Majesty make a mistake? In our dynasty, the administrative system has long stipulated: "The positions of the three public are unified." What's more, the "Spring and Autumn Biography" also said, "The only way to eliminate the evil of the king is to see." Therefore, he should not only take care of the problem of Houlan, but also suggested that the emperor must be punished for the hearts of the world's scholars and the people.

This time, Emperor Xiaohuan is in a dilemma. He heard sincerity and loyalty from Yang Bing's words, but at the same time, he was worried that the scholar and doctor class would suppress the middle officials too much, which would make him very passive in the end.

Emperor Xiaohuan's final choice was to temporarily remove Hou Lan's position as a permanent servant, but soon he was appointed.

"Lord Li is polite," Hou Lan still said to Li Zhong in his immortal appearance, as if this made him feel very arrogant.

Li Zhong did not mind Hou Lan's attitude, but Wang Yue and Deng Zhan behind him stared at Hou Lan angrily, only because Li Zhong did not attack.

With a slight smile at the marquis, Li Zhong still said humbly, "Please move to the city. I have prepared a little light wine. Please don't refuse."

Well, "Lord Li is polite." Hou Lan listened to Li Zhong's low tone happily, "That's family is disrespectful," "Marquis, please." Well, Hou Lan did not refuse. He just nodded to Li Zhong on the horse, and then rode to the city.

"Okay, let's go." Li Zhong looked at Wang Yue and Deng Zhan, then shook his head and jumped on the horse and left.

Ask for a reward and a monthly ticket, thank you!!
