Chapter 142 – Consequences of the Turning Point
"Report to Your Majesty" Dong Zhuo stepped forward this time.
He started reading the biography of Zhang Jiao. In the report, Zhang Jiao's deeds as a local physician, his relatives, and all the rumors around him were recorded. Dong Zhuo listed his actions started from his Taoist Sect duties to the recent deeds as the governor of Julu Commandery.
The battle of Anping, the ransom incident with the Yuan Clan, and the contribution to the Han Court were also listed in the reports, which caused the officials to listen to the stories with awe and admiration as if they were listening to a drama story in a play.
Then, it came to the parts where everyone swallowed their saliva.
Zhang Jiao and Zhang Tong reformed new laws and slaughtered half of the nobles the first few days after they had been reinstated into the position. They killed the riot merchants the next days and removed all private troops from the local nobles and merchants.
