The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 810
When I came to the lobby, under the light, a middle-aged man in his forties was waiting hard.

Wearing a silver crown on his head, an exquisite silk robe, and a brocade belt around his waist, this person has a square face and a faint sense of majesty between his brows. One can tell at a glance that he is a person in power with a prominent family background.

"The general is here~"

The guard's announcement sounded outside the hall.

Zhou Zheng hurriedly turned around, putting away his usual condescending aura, not daring to show any neglect or disrespect, and bowed his hands in salute: "Caomin Zhou Zheng, I have seen the general."

Lu Bu glanced at him, greeted him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Patriarch Zhou, you are not a grassroots. In Yanzhou, no one knows that the Zhou family is the most powerful family. Before, Cao Mengde would give you a little face. They are grass people, but what are those people who dig grass roots in the ground for food?"

There was something in Lu Bu's words, which made Zhou Zheng feel cold.

He hurriedly stood up, but Lu Bu motioned him to sit down, and asked with a smile: "It's so late, and Patriarch Zhou is still here to visit the mansion, he must be here to greet me when he is free."

Zhou Zheng bowed his hands to Lu Bu, and replied sincerely: "Since the general asked the question, Cao Min just said it straight. My nephew is ignorant and offended the general today, so I came to the door specially to apologize to you."

As for why the person concerned didn't come, it was because he was being held in prison at the moment.

Zhou Zheng walked on thin ice, Lu Bu said with a half-smile, "You are well-informed."

Then the voice changed.

"However, with so many people watching what happened today, if I forgive you because of Patriarch Zhou's words, what will the people of Yanzhou think of me? They will say that I protect the powerful and bully the weak and fear the strong!"

"However, since Patriarch Zhou took the initiative to come to me to intercede, I will naturally give you some face. How about this, the death penalty for offending this general will be exempted, and you will be given a [-] board, and you will be assigned to Xiliang."

Lu Bu spoke frankly, as if he had made a huge concession.

Two hundred boards?If this is all over, can you still live?
Zhou Zheng's complexion was pale. His nephew grew up in rich clothes and fine food, and had never suffered any hardships. All these years, relying on the Zhou family as a backer, he acted domineeringly and defiantly.

It's just that his elder brother died early, leaving only such a bloodline. Before his death, his elder brother still tightly held Zhou Zheng's palm, begging him to take care of him.

Otherwise, Zhou Zheng would not come to beg Lu Bu so humbly.

"General, please be more tolerant..."

Zhou Zheng wanted to plead for his nephew again, but Lu Bu waved his hand, as if impatient: "I'm tired. Chen Wei, see off my guests."

Chen Wei, who was standing at the door, responded, walked up to Zhou Zheng, and gestured: "Patriarch Zhou, please."

Hey~
Zhou Zheng sighed, with a great sense of loss in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say any more. If he offended Lu Bu, the Zhou family might not be safe in the future.

In the troubled times, although the clans from all over the world used the hoarded food to recruit many soldiers and horses. Perhaps this was a huge force in the eyes of the common people, but it was not worth mentioning in front of the brave and skilled Lu Bu.

After all, there is not even a tiny bit of difference between the servants of the nursing home and the iron-blooded army.

After suffering from Lu Bu, in order to save his nephew, Zhou Zheng had no choice but to go to Pang Ji again, asking him to help him speak.

Pang Ji made some decisions, whether this matter was big or small, it was not impossible to keep Zhou Zheng's nephew safe and sound.

Hearing this, Zhou Zheng was very happy, and said that as long as he could get his nephew out of prison safely, he would reward Pang Ji generously.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, just listen to me first."

Pang Ji twirled his beard with his thumb, with sly eyes, and said slowly: "Now the general is raising food for the people, and he is planning to transport it from Sili or Guanzhong, but Sili is a long way from Yan after all. , and will waste a lot of manpower and material resources. Therefore, if Patriarch Zhou can take the initiative to offer 20 shi of grain at this time, and I can talk about it, I will definitely be able to get my nephew a way of life."

"20 stones! This is too much!"

Zhou Zheng looked distressed, not only was the lion opening his mouth, it was killing him.

In today's world, all parts of the Central Plains are in chaos. If you have money, you can't buy food, and if you have a market, you can't buy it.

"Brother Pang, can it be less? As you know, there are still hundreds of mouths waiting to eat in my house, 20 shi, I really can't get it out!" Zhou Zheng complained to Pang Ji with a sad face.

Pang Ji took a sip of tea, since he wasn't his nephew anyway, he said calmly, "If it's a few hundred shi or a few thousand shi, would it still need you? Don't even think about it. Insulting the general, and threatening to teach him a lesson, what crime is this? Insulting the important officials of the court, beheading is not an exaggeration! If you really want to rescue him, one hundred thousand shi, no less."

Otherwise, I can't help you either.

Zhou Zheng struggled in his heart for a while, finally gritted his teeth, and agreed with heartache: "Okay, I admit it!"

It's really a crime in a previous life to have such an outdated nephew on the stall.

In the early morning of the next day, Pang Ji found Lu Bu and said that Zhou Zheng was willing to exchange [-] shi of grain in exchange for the safety of his nephew.

After hearing this, Lu Bu laughed heartily. He didn't expect that a county bureaucrat who was punished casually could bring him such a big profit.

Not to mention one hundred thousand stones, even ten thousand stones!
As for the collision with Zhou's nephew, Lu Bu actually didn't take it too seriously.With his current position of power, if he really wanted to care about him, it would be tantamount to condescending to wrestle with a child and lowering his status.

"Yuan Tu, you have made great contributions this time, tell me, what reward do you want?"

Lu Bu looked at Pang Ji with a smile on his face. One hundred thousand shi of food was not a small number, it was enough to support the army's monthly expenses.

"Sharing the Lord's worries is the job of the subordinates, so I dare not ask for rewards." Pang Ji bowed his hands and said this, but he was actually quite proud in his heart.He thought that if it was Chen Gong or Guo Jia, he might not be able to obtain so much food for the Lord.

Lu Bu was very satisfied with Pang Ji's answer, and nodded secretly.

Among the three confidant counselors who follow by her side, Chen Gong is upright and arrogant, Guo Jia is unrestrained and unrestrained, but Pang Ji is sophisticated and tactful, who knows how to figure out the Lord's mind in everything he says and does.

"When I return to the court, I will tell the emperor about your meritorious deeds and bestow you with a title."

Lu Bu gave a commendation.

Pang Ji was overjoyed when he heard the words, his face was touched, and he thanked him on the spot: "Thank you, Lord Long En! In this life, I will go through fire and water as my Lord, and I will be smashed to pieces!"

Both sides have benefited, and Pang Ji can be said to be the biggest winner.

Afterwards, Pang Ji walked around the mansion with Lu Bu for a while, and asked curiously, "Why don't you see Missy and Young Master?"

Hearing this, Lu Bu smiled and said, "Both of them, they went to play with their new friends."
