At this time, Situ's mansion was basically idle, and there were no other clues, and it was meaningless to stay here any longer, so Li Ru decided to leave and return to Xiang's mansion, just to deal with it first. 9 Reading Network

He was about to order someone to clean up the bloodstains and move the corpse away, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside, frowned, Li Ru told Hua Xiong, "Go outside and see what's going on."

Hua Xiong led away, but Li Ru didn't let anyone do it right away. He instinctively felt bad. At this moment, any movement would be enough to touch his sensitive nerves.

After a long time, someone ran in alone, but it wasn't Hua Xiong, but a soldier from Xiliang whose name Li Ru couldn't remember. He hurried over and said anxiously, "It's not good, there's a fight outside..."

"What?" Li Ru was taken aback, but he didn't panic. He thought for a while and wanted a few people to stay here to deal with the corpse and the bloody characters, so as to be safe, and then hurried out with the rest of the people.

It was only after arriving at the gate of Situ Mansion that Xiliang soldiers headed by Hua Xiong were confronting a group of people, who were holding sticks and even spatulas in their hands. Nowadays, Luoyang still has very strict control over weapons. It is not easy for a person to find a good weapon, so no one is surprised by this scene, but the leader is actually an old man.

But it's not as exaggerated as the little soldier who came to report, at least for the time being, there hasn't been a real fight.

Li Ru had some impressions of the old man in the front, but he couldn't remember it for a while. He walked to the middle of the confrontation between the two sides, and asked Hua Xiong with a sullen face, "What's going on?"

Hua Xiong said in a low voice: "Xiong doesn't know what's going on. As soon as the old man came, he said that we were the murderers who killed his master, and he wouldn't even let this house go. They want to drive us out of Situ's mansion..."

Li Ru was taken aback for a moment, he remembered who this old man was, and he turned his head to face him again, expressionlessly said: "If I remember correctly, you are the old housekeeper of this Situ Mansion?"

That old man is Wang An, Wang Yun's old housekeeper.He left the mansion last night under Wang Yun's order. Based on his understanding of the master, he must be facing life and death danger, so he dispersed all the people in the mansion and faced it alone.On the one hand, he is already unafraid of death with his old bones.He would rather die with Wang Yun, but on the other hand he had to listen to Wang Yun's orders, so he was already mentally prepared to die himself after helping Wang Yun with his funeral.

But when he actually received the news of Wang Yun's death this morning, he found that he couldn't face it calmly.The main reason is that Wang Yun's death was miserable in Thailand, the deceased was already dead, but why let his corpse hang naked at the gate of the city?

Wang An was extremely aggrieved and unwilling, but he didn't know who to vent his emotions on. He only thought about finding someone to return Wang Yun's body today.Help him bury him properly, but unexpectedly, he was told that the body was sent to Xiangguo Mansion.

He ran to the Xiangguo Mansion again, but no one paid any attention to him. He wanted to break in, but he was beaten out. Wang Anxin thought that he had to protect himself now, so that someone would deal with Wang Yun's funeral. I didn't continue to insist, and wanted to wait until I came back to find a way.

As a result, he did not expect to arrive at the gate of Situ's mansion.But he found a row of big men in the same attire as the guards at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion standing at the door. At that time, Wang Anzhen could be said to be extremely jealous when meeting his enemies. Steward of Situ Mansion.It's easy to talk about the name, plus he is willing to use money, so it's easy to gather people, but when these people see the heavily armed soldiers at the door, their legs go limp.They are all just local ruffians who go out in the market, and they usually bully and bully the common people.Where dare to fight against the army and the government?This is also the reason why they came aggressively, but they didn't do anything in the end. It wasn't that Wang An didn't want to, but that he couldn't command them anymore, so he had to retreat and keep them here first, and wait until he had clarified the previous situation. .

Hearing Li Ru's question at this moment, Wang An's cloudy old eyes shot out two sharp lights, "Who are you?"

Li Ru chuckled and did not answer his question, but said: "The court will find a way to arrange for Wang Situ's funeral. After all, he is a big man Situ. Now that he suddenly encountered such a thing, the court will also try to find someone who killed Wang Situ. The murderer, if the housekeeper doesn't believe it, you can wait for the good news in the mansion."

After finishing speaking, he actually left directly with Hua Xiong and others, and from the beginning to the end, Wang An and the others dared not even stop them.

Wang An looked at the back of Li Ru and his party, his eyes were flickering. At this time, the leaders of the scoundrels he had found approached his ear and whispered: "Butler Wang, the reward you said..."

Wang An glared at him, "Did you go into Qianqian's eyes? Yours is indispensable..."

What he didn't know was that at this time, a few figures came out from the back door of Situ's Mansion. They were the soldiers from Xiliang who Li Ru ordered to deal with the corpse and the blood. They came out holding the corpse after finishing everything. After waiting for a while, they saw Li Ru leading Hua Xiong and others running over. Hua Xiong, who was still full of doubts, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

Li Ru ignored him. He asked someone to disguise the corpse as a comatose person, and then put it behind one of the cavalry's horses, and the group continued on the road.

Walking along Kaiyang Street towards the return road, Li Ru was in a heavy heart along the way.

Li Ru didn't care about what happened with the steward of Situ's mansion just now, including the corpse. He brought the corpse back just to verify it and to be prepared. What he really cared about was the future with Dong Zhuo The problem of getting along with Lu Bu.

In his heart, he was actually unwilling to just part ways with Lv Bu, because Lv Bu was still useful to Dong Zhuo, and if he got into the trap he set for him, then everything would be fine; but now there are various signs that Lv Bu Not only has he seen through their plot, but he has already made various arrangements. If Li Ru's predictions are correct, he may even be preparing to bring the Bingzhou Army back to Bingzhou now.

The Bingzhou Army is the force that Lu Bu relies on, and it is also the force that Dong Zhuo covets the most. In fact, the Bingzhou Army in Lv Bu's hands is not complete now. There are only 3 people in the Bingzhou Army Camp in the northern suburbs. The 1 to [-] troops stationed by Lu Bu and the more than [-] under Zhang Yang's command, as for the troops stationed in Yanmen and other three counties, they are no longer Bingzhou troops, but Yuan Shao's troops.

Li Ru's original idea was to first grasp the [-] Bingzhou Army here, and then slowly plot the other two parts, but now it is obviously not feasible.

Before I knew it, I walked all the way to the time when I came, and the Xiangguo Mansion next to the royal Zhuolong Garden was right in front of me.

Li Ru avoided Hua Xiong and the others, came all the way to Dong Zhuo's bedroom, and then first talked about what he heard on the way to Situ's mansion and what he saw and encountered in Situ's mansion.

Dong Zhuo just nodded after listening, took a sip from his glass, and asked, "What about Lu Bu's residence?"

Li Ru said in a deep voice: "The Lu manor has already been empty, except for those servants who have nothing to do with it, including Lu Bu's women, the man slave, and the nurses, all have left. Joan met them before, but he didn't receive our orders, and with Lu Fengxian's letter in his hand, they can easily leave the city..."

"Bastard!" Dong Zhuo threw the cup in his hand on the ground angrily after hearing this, and suddenly saw the cup shattered into pieces...
