Guo Peng would give his subordinates a lot of rewards every time he won a battle.

It is a convention to give land, houses, and slaves money. Guo Peng never treats his subordinates who work hard for him. The higher the level, the more he gives. In addition, Guo Peng strictly stipulates that he is not allowed to transgress.

Everyone was obediently, but Cao Hong took the lead in causing trouble.

Guo Peng moved his resident to Puyang and used Puyang County as the base to exercise the government orders.

He was the county magistrate of Lu County, the base area, and he admired Man Chong, who did a good job, and was reluctant to leave. So Guo Peng was promoted to Man Chong as the governor of Dongjun, and replaced Cao Cao's position. He was stationed in Puyang, and continued to manage the base camp for him and control the overall situation of Dongjun.

Everything in Dongjun was originally for the sake of war, and the arrangements for the Lishu and other aspects were very strict. Guo Peng was very anxious to transfer Cao Cao to the governor of Jizhou. When Cao Cao left, everything had not yet returned to its original state. These were the work of Man Chong.

Man Chong was grateful to Guo Peng's kindness and was preparing to make great efforts to restore normal production in Dongjun and allow the common people to live and work in peace, but he learned about this.

Man Chong rushed to investigate the matter on the spot and found that it was indeed the same as he heard that many civil servants were driven by Cao Hong's guests. The land that should have belonged to the government was occupied, and all the output was left to Cao Hong's guests, which made Man Chong very angry.

He was surrounded by officials to advise him.

"Cao Zilian is the general's relative, and he violated some laws slightly, so General Guo would not convict him. The Duke strictly enforced the law and prosecuted Cao Zilian, which was against Cao. How could the Cao family let the Duke go?"

Man Chong was unmoved at all.

"The law set by the Ming Gong is clear. If I do not act according to these laws, I will be dereliction of duty, and then I will be guilty! Now I act according to the law, what sin does it have?"

The officer continued to persuade him.

"Cao's family is powerful, Cao Mengde is the governor of Jizhou, Cao Zi Xiao Cao Zi and Cao Wenlie are both trusted generals, and the general's wife is also Cao's family. With such power, the prince of the mansion still wants to be enemies with them and punish them. Isn't this asking for trouble?"

Man Chong shook his head firmly.

"I will act according to the law. If I believe that I am guilty, I will dismiss my post or execute me directly. But before that, I was the prefect of Dongjun, and in the prefect's position, I will act according to the law!"

Like Guo Peng, Man Chong is a family of law that studies the classics of the law. Man Chong has studied the law since he was a child, proficient in the law, and is as square and strict as the law.

He had already decided that no matter who it was, he could not stop his determination to enforce the law.

So Man Chong directly ordered the mobilization of 300 soldiers from Dongjun to rush to the local area, personally commanded, beat a large number of Cao Hong's guests and relatives, then grabbed them all, took back the land to the government, handed them back to the Lishu, and restored their production.

Cao Hong's guests and relatives were arrested and threw themselves into prison. Man Chong tried the case overnight and spent some time convicting them of death. He only waited for Guo Peng to report them to the law.

Several of these people escaped by chance and fled to Bohai County overnight to report the matter to Cao Hong and prayed for Cao Hong's help. Cao Hong was furious and immediately wrote a letter to Guo Peng. After some preparation, he quickly went south overnight to Dongjun to prepare to save the people.

Two days later, Guo Peng received almost the same time the death penalty proposal form and Cao Hong's letter.

At that time, Guo Peng was busy expanding his army and had no time to manage general government affairs. He didn't know about this matter, but now he knows it.

After reading Man Chong's death penalty recommendation form and seeing Cao Hong's letter, Guo Peng called Man Chong to his general's mansion.

Man Chong was fearless and generously came to Guo Peng's general's mansion, handed over his sword, took off his shoes, and slowly entered Guo Peng's place where he was doing business.

Guo Peng was sitting at the top to handle some military affairs.

"Man Chong pays homage to Ming Gong."

Man Chong bowed and bowed.

Guo Peng raised his head.

"Boning is here? Sit."

Guo Peng reached out to let Man Chong sit down. After Man Chong walked to the desk beside him, he sat down calmly and meticulously.

"About Zilian's case, I..."

"Ming Gong, you personally promulgated the Farming Farming Act and is the fundamental bill for our army to establish. If the Farming Farming cannot be protected, people with ill-hearted hearts will rise up and occupy the fields. If our army does not have enough food, how can we fight the world and safely place?"

Before Guo Peng could finish his words, Man Chong pushed the truth forward and hit Guo Peng on the face, making Guo Peng a little amused.

He loves and trusts Man Chong very much.

So Guo Peng smiled and shook his head.

"I didn't say anything, and Boning thought that I wanted to get rid of Zi Lian. Do you really distrust me? Did I ever say that I wanted to get rid of Zi Lian?"

Man Chong looked at Guo Peng with some surprise.

"You have done a good job. You can deal with this case as you should. If you should be beheaded, don't let anyone go."

After Guo Peng approved Man Chong's request, he handed it over to Man Chong.

"Ming Gong, this..."

"Since you call me a declaration of your duty, I will not treat you as an outsider. Boning, this is a very bad trend. Zi Lian's affairs are certainly an isolated case, but they make me worry. I have just defeated Yuan Benchu ​​and occupied Jizhou, and some generals were busy committing crimes.

He wants to enjoy it, to occupy the land, and to take credit for himself. This is not a good trend. Zilian is a leader. If I don’t deal with him and don’t suppress this trend severely, there will be a second, third, and fourth soon.

When the first thing happened, I would have to deal with him. I would never give the next person the chance to think like this. The world is not stable yet, and there are many enemies. Ambitious people always want to be king and dominate. I am determined to stabilize the world, so how can I relax and enjoy it?"

Man Chong was immediately moved and stood up and knelt in front of Guo Peng.

"Ming Gong's ambition is favored and respected!"

Guo Peng stood up, helped Man Chong up, stroked his back, and held Man Chong's hand.

"If you want to enforce the law, you must strictly enforce the law. Don't dare to enforce the law firmly just because there is someone behind the perpetrator. That is incorrect. What are the doubts about what you do now, even the wise men of ancient times should praise you?"

I prayed again with a happy pet.

Afterwards, Guo Peng thought for a moment and said, "With that being said, law enforcement is also a dangerous thing and is easily envied. I often go out to war and cannot provide you with timely protection. I am worried that someone will wait for an opportunity to retaliate against you.

Let's do this. Your wife has passed away for more than a year and you have never remarried. I chose a gentle and virtuous woman for you to be your wife in the Guo clan. In this way, everyone will know that I am your backer and you will be much safer."
