I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 17
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

In the Taifu's mansion, the hall of the inner house.Yuan Kui shook his sleeves in anger, his face was full of frustration and disbelief: "Dong Thief entered Beijing because he could not rely on his military power, and he wanted to prevent the troops from looting Luoyang. He was clearly seeking his own death! How could it only take a few days before the world turned upside down?" , everything has changed?!"

"Yuan Gong, the fact is true." Shangshu Zhou's face was full of despair, and he said: "I have sent people to Mashi, Jinshi, Nanshi to inquire, and now the soldiers under Dong Thief come to buy every day, and they are generous. It’s like meeting relatives.”

"When some people go to the three cities, they don't just buy them, but sell them the surplus goods at home first, and then buy what they need... Even the beggars in the market can occasionally get some mood. Good soldiers give rewards. Now the name of Dong Bandit is well-known in the three cities, and everyone calls it the 'God of Wealth'."

"What's even more frightening is that now all the soldiers under Dong Bandit's command respect him. Therefore, after the general's old troops, the Xiyuan soldiers and horses, and Lu Bu in Bingzhou won gold and silver, everyone praised Dong Bandit's reputation and his loyalty rose! "Wu Qiong, the school captain of Chengmen, is heartbroken here. I don't know whether it's because he hates Old Dong, or because he hates that he didn't pay here...

"There must be something wrong with this!" Shangshu Zheng Tai was annoyed, and said: "Since I took the position of Shangshu, I know the revenue and expenditure of the treasury like the palm of my hand. Now the treasury is so empty that there are thousands of gold, where did he get it?" A large sum of gold and silver for the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command to squander like this?"

"That's right, there must be something wrong!..." Zhou Yan immediately agreed.

Immediately, the three of them looked at Grand Tutor Yuan Kai in unison.

But Yuan Kai frowned and thought for a moment, but turned his eyes to a man who had always been silent in the field: "Boqiu, you are the chief history of the Taiwei's mansion, do you know some inside information?"

Shi, the chief of Taiwei's mansion, has an official rank of thousands of stones, and is in charge of the affairs of Taiwei's mansion, with great real power.Correspondingly, the insider who knows the most is naturally the most.

"I don't know the history of the chief of the Taiwei's house. You also know that the thief Dong made a long history, but he did not regard him as his confidant." The man shook his head lightly, and said: "A certain I only know that a few days ago, Dong Thief had a secret conversation with Lang Zhongling Li Ru, Cao Cao and Jia Xu, and then called the cavalry captain Lv Bu to the mansion."

"But when someone wanted to inquire later, Jia Xu's house was already heavily guarded by Dong Thief's personal guards, and the soldiers in Lu Bu's camp suddenly disappeared..."

"Li Ru, Jia Xu, Lu Bu?..." The four were even more confused when they heard these names: Li Ru and the others could understand that they had been plotting for Dong Zhuo.But Jia Xu's reputation is not obvious, and he is extremely low-key, and with Lu Bu as a new general, the three of them can't pee in the same pot no matter how they look at it.

However, they also feel that the truth of this matter is right in front of them, because the most critical link is missing, the window paper in front cannot be pierced...

While the four of them were deep in thought, He Yong took a sip of hot tea and said to himself: "Fortunately, although Shi He Yong, the head of Taiwei's residence, doesn't know, I, He Boqiu, still understand the mystery."

He Yong, courtesy name Boqiu, was the chief history of Taiwei's mansion.

He deliberately separated his identity just now, firstly to show that he doesn't want to have anything to do with Dong Zhuo, and secondly... well, because he thinks highly of himself and likes to pretend to be aggressive.

But this time, it really did.

Although Zheng Tai, Wu Qiong, and Zhou Yan were very upset, they could only bear it.Yuan Kai looked eager here, and asked: "Bo Qiu, what is the mystery?"

He Yong smiled reservedly, took out something from his sleeve and put it on the desk, then slowly left his hand and said: "This is it!"

The four of them took a closer look and saw a piece of jade lying quietly on the table.

The piece of jade was warm and lustrous, and it looked like it was polished from the finest jade.There are also small holes drilled at both ends, but the size does not seem to be worn around the waist...

"This thing?..." Yuan Kai got up and walked forward, picked up the jade piece and looked at it carefully under the lamp, frowned and said: "The quality is good, but the craftsmanship is a bit rough, there is no texture carving, more like Qin A thing of the times... And how does this have anything to do with Dong Bandit's invitation to buy the army's heart?"

"This piece of jade was obtained from a merchant who tanned leather after a certain disguise. And the reason why he has this kind of beautiful jade is obtained from Xiliang soldiers..."

Under the lamp, He Yong spoke slowly, as if whispering.

Zheng Tai, Wu Qiong, and Zhou Yan were impatient with He Yong's mystification, but when they were about to speak, they were surprised to find that Yuan Kai's expression changed drastically, and his body staggered and took two steps back.

The three hurriedly got up to help, and saw Yuan Kai's eyes tearing open: "What a Dong thief!...to do such a frenzied thing, which is outraged by both humans and gods, it should be cut into pieces!"

"Teacher!..."

"Duke Yuan!..."

The three of them still don't know what happened, but He Yong on the side couldn't help the desire to pretend, and said coldly: "Can't the three of you see that this jade piece is one of the golden hazel jade clothes?" one slice?"

"Golden Jade Clothes!..."

Jade garments with golden thread were the highest standard of funeral garments in the Han Dynasty. When emperors or high-ranking nobles were buried, they used "jade boxes with pearls and jackets", which were shaped like armor and connected with gold wires.

The reason is that people in the Han Dynasty believed that jade was the "elite of the mountain". If gold and jade were placed in the nine orifices of a person, the essence of the person would not leak out, so that the bones would not rot, so that they could seek rebirth in the afterlife.

The most critical link was completed, and the three of them instantly understood the context of the whole incident, and their figures couldn't help being shocked: "Then, that Dong thief actually conspired with Li Ru and Jia Xu, and sent the thief Lu Bu to steal the late emperor's blood." tomb!?"

"I'm a poor man from Xiliang, who has no king and no father. He has committed a heinous crime!"

"If you do this, there will be no consequences!"

"Heh, all of you here are just cursing with hatred, and you can't be furious. Could it be that you can scold Bandit Dong to death?" He Yong said again at this time, smiling slightly.

The three of them were furious at once, and Zheng Tai blamed him angrily: "Uncle Heqiu, you are also living in the Han Dynasty. Now Dong Bandit is perverting and committing such outrageous things. How dare you laugh instead of serving the country?"

On the contrary, Yuan Kui was scheming and had already seen some signs of it. He suppressed the anger of the three people and looked at He Yong and said, "Uncle Qiu, it was Ru Kan who broke Dong's rebellion. I think he has a countermeasure this time?"

"Grand Yuan," He Yong cupped his hands, with a secretive look on his face: "We were so filled with righteous indignation when we found out about this matter. The great man has been raising scholars for a hundred years, and the hearts of the people are attached to him, so why worry about a righteous man who sacrificed his life to serve the country?"

Yuan Kai's expression changed, and he immediately understood: "What does Boqiu mean?..."

Zheng Tai, Wu Qiong, and Zhou Yan woke up at the same time when they heard the words, turned their anger into joy and said, "It's true, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and Dong Thief's theft of the mausoleum is not perfect."

"I just need to tell others quietly, and I don't need to do it myself, and the bloody righteous men in Luoyang will get up on their own!"

"At that time, sparks will start a prairie fire, and all the great families will share the same hatred. Together with the heroes from all directions that we have contacted in advance, we will definitely be able to bring order out of the chaos, and return the Han Dynasty to a bright blue sky!"

The three of them agreed on the plan with only a few words.Yuan Kui thought for a moment, and then he couldn't help but nod his head and concluded: "Tie Dong thinks he's smart, and he really wants to die!"

After speaking, he hurriedly returned to the main seat, looked at the four people in the hall and said, "It's not too late, you should go back to the mansion quickly, and send servants, children, and tenants to spread the word quietly about this matter."

"For such a rebellious and immoral thing, the whole Luoyang is like fuel to the fire. It only takes a little wind to stir up winds in all directions and start a prairie fire for thousands of miles. The day when Dong Bandit is wiped out can be expected!"

"Wei." Hearing the words, the four of them felt that their bodies were suddenly covered with a supreme mission, and they saluted and left quickly.

Leaving Yuan Kai alone, he silently took out the jade piece, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and slowly said greedily: "If we get rid of this thief Dong, who is a disaster for the country, let the gentry officials rule the court and adjust the balance of yin and yang... After a hundred years, I will , or can you also cover your body with golden jade?"
