Chapter 184 Help
Xiahouba looked directly into Yang Zheng's eyes.

Yang Zheng had a frank face.

The cold wind hit their faces, which made both of them wake up a lot.

"Why don't you justify yourself?"

"If the general trusts his subordinates, his subordinates don't need to say much. If the general doesn't trust his subordinates, it's useless for his subordinates to say ten thousand words."

After a long time, Xia Houba's eyes softened a lot, "Get up."

"Yes." Yang Zheng stood up respectfully.

"Who do you think did it?" Xiahou said overbearingly.

"The subordinates feel that the most urgent task is not to find the murderer, but to find Prefect Lu."

So what if the murderer is found?

It's obvious that it wasn't the Sima family's lackeys who did it, or the big treasures around Cao Shuang.

However, Lu Zhi and Guo Huai are old friends, so it shouldn't be like this. Guo Huai's methods mostly use power to overwhelm people, and they are upright, making people unable to resist. Assassination is a low-level behavior, which is very similar to the style of Deng Yang and others.

Only this method can hurt Yang Zheng's muscles.

Imagine if Lu Zhi died in Xiping, Yang Zheng would not be able to argue.

At that time, it will be pointed out by thousands of people.

This sort of thing often doesn't need proof.

If the other party dares to do this, they must have prepared ironclad evidence.

But as long as Lu Zhi is alive, there is still room for redemption.

With so many bad guys in Qin Liang, he can't forcefully put the pot of shit on the head of a good guy like himself, right?
"You're right." Xiahouba seemed to suddenly understand.

In fact, it is good for Xia Houba to make such a fuss, he has a fierce human nature, so he won't take it seriously when he says it.

After all, I am also his nephew and son-in-law, breaking the bones and connecting the tendons.

At the beginning, he was the one who told himself to rush forward, so don't be afraid of getting messed up.

"The imperial court transferred you to Jingzhou, what do you think?" Xia Houba changed the subject.

Yang Zheng cupped his hands and said, "If you go to Jingzhou, how can you be destined? Doesn't the general know what Li Sheng is thinking?"

I don't know what General Cao is thinking. I have been begging Ye Wudai, Midang, and bald before and after. In all dynasties, I will be offered as a treasure, but Cao Shuang wants to kill himself.

"The imperial edict is here, how can you resist it and not obey it?"

"I didn't disobey it, but my subordinates have recently re-colluded with Shao Dangqiang and Zhong Qiang Yuyao to invade Xiping. I want to stay for a while longer to completely suppress the Qiang people for the court, and then go to Jingzhou." Yang Zheng Said sincerely.

Xia Houba nodded, "This reason is plausible. Recently, Taichu also sent a letter. He is mediating for you, asking you to be safe and not to be impatient."

"Father-in-law?" Yang Zheng was a little moved.

This is a good way to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

A good father-in-law saves 20 years of struggle in life.

With no family background these days, one can only rely on in-laws and nepotism.

Speaking of being killed by Li Sheng, isn't Xiahou a talented woman a widow?

Xia Houxuan's thoughts were still clear.

"I didn't expect Sima Yi to be so troublesome after going to court." Xia Houba also realized the root of the problem, and his face looked disappointed.

After Cao Shuang monopolized the power, what he did, the court was full of feathers, and the world was full of resentment.

This is not something Yang Zheng can answer.

Xia Houba sighed for a while, and said: "Be more careful and find Lu Shiying quickly. Recently, the south has made a detailed report that the Shu army will invade the north again, so I will return to Yunwu first."

"Subordinates obey orders!"

The two parted ways.

With Xia Houba's words, Yang Zheng had a solid foundation in his mind.

My father-in-law is still reliable.

The next step is to find Lu Zhi.

Unexpectedly, things turned around in such a twists and turns, Lu Zhi turned out to be an old friend of his father.

So, if Cao Shuang lay down, Lu Zhi would be his great help?
Xiping has no shortage of strong soldiers and generals, but what it lacks most is military advisers and think tanks.

Du Yu has this level and ability, but his heart is not the same.

Of course, Yang Zheng felt that the main reason was that he was not strong enough.

In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, how many real loyal ministers are there?
Du Yu kept saying that he was loyal to Cao Wei. Didn't he in history eventually join the Sima family?

Perhaps Du Yu's heart will change after seeing the methods of the Sima family.

In the next two days, Yang Zheng and Wang Mai searched the nearby river valleys, large and small, and wiped out several bandits, but they did not find any trace of Lu Zhi.

The scouts in the southeast and north all returned without success.

Such a living person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Yang Zheng couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

In case Lu Zhi really disappeared like this, he would have to be blamed in the end.

Sure enough, the prefects of Wuwei, Zhangye, Tianshui, Anding, Jiuquan and other places all sent letters, in a better tone of inquiry, and in a worse tone, they directly called Yang Zheng a tyrant and a thief, and declared that they would go to Luoyang to impeach Yang Zheng for all kinds of evil deeds. Row.

Even Guo Huai sent envoys to question him sternly.

Yang Zheng felt like he had stabbed a hornet's nest.

Fortunately, Xia Houxuan and Xia Houba withstood the pressure, otherwise the saliva from Yongliang and Qin would have drowned Yang Zheng.

Lu Zhi was originally from Fufeng County.

Although he was born in a common family, during the period of guarding Guanyou with Cao Zhen, he was skilled in controlling the border and governing the people well. The people still appreciate his kindness to this day.

I searched all over the southeast and north, but found no clues, only that the gang of Qiang thieves came from Wuwei.

Wuwei is considered the largest of the four counties in Liangzhou, with the bald Xianbei to the north, the three tribes of the Huns to the west, and Juqu and Qianghu to the south.

This group of thieves disappeared like mud cows entering the sea.

However, Yang Zheng believed more and more that this was done by some big baby next to Cao Shuang.

Just when he was frowning, someone from Xidu suddenly came.

"Report to the general, the prefect of Lu has entered the Western Capital, please go and meet the general!"

Yang Zheng was taken aback, and couldn't help but slapped himself on the head. Since he had searched all over the place, he must have gone west!
It's also fortunate that Lu Zhi is one of his own people. If someone else occupied the Western Capital so quietly, he might overturn himself.

As long as the old man is still alive, everything will turn around.

Yang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried back to Xidu.

Thinking that I emptied everything, I just took off my pants and farted.

After thinking about it, General Cao is really his nobleman, who sent such a big gift before he was about to finish playing.

The Western Capital is still the same Western Capital. Seeing Yang Zheng's banner, he opened the door directly in the middle of the night.

Seeing Lu Zhi's eagerness, Yang Zheng didn't care that the sound of horseshoes disturbed the residents of the city.

The prefect's mansion ushered in a real prefect.

The lights are bright, obviously the people inside have not rested.

Dozens of hulking personal guards stood with knives, their armor was stained with brown blood, and there was hatred in their eyes.

"Duke Lu has ordered that only General Yang be invited to see him."

"Fart!" Liu Heng pushed them away.

Those personal guards suddenly drew out their ring swords, and 100 people stood in front of the handsome young officer, "Lu Gong has an order, only Yang Zheng is called to see him!"

This time even the general was exempted, and he called him by his first name.

Yang Zheng couldn't help feeling angry, this man is so courageous.

It's one thing for me to respect Lu Zhi, but it doesn't mean that these little fish and shrimp can dominate in front of me.

Simply stop blocking Liu Heng.

Liu Heng directly reached out to grab him, the man dodged, dodged Liu Heng's palm, and kicked Liu Heng's waist in return.

Extremely flexible.

Even Liu Heng, who is as strong as a bull, was also staggered by his kick.

Yang Zheng was taken aback for a moment, this person has some skills.

Liu Heng became angry from embarrassment, and pulled out the ring head knife.

The hundred generals also drew their swords.

The two pointed their needles at Maimang, not convinced by each other.

The guards on both sides drew their swords one after another. Seeing that a fire was about to erupt, a weak cough came from the mansion: "Stop."
