Chapter 250 Who Persecutes Who?
It's just a very simple ruse.

Yes, it's very simple... There were thirteen officials who were on duty in Nangong on the day of the assassination.Three of them belonged to Dong Zhuo's family, and among the rest, apart from Dong Zhuo's family, there were several people who had been working in the government office.

Li Ru marked these people in detail.

The two people Dong Zhuo suspected were Zheng Tai, a celebrity who had served under He Jin's command. Later, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, this person took refuge in Dong Zhuo and became his secretary.Haha, don't get me wrong, this secretary is not the same as the later secretary.It was set up by Emperor Huan to be in charge of the secret records of the forbidden books, which is somewhat similar to the curator of the royal library in the future society.

This is not an official position with real power, which shows that Dong Zhuo does not trust this person.

Zheng Tai's position has always been very vague, saying that he is a member of the party, and was persecuted for offending Yuan Wei.It is said that he is a scholar of Dongguan, but his opinion is completely different.Samurai?Zheng Tai's swordsmanship is good, and he used to travel around the world with a sword when he was young.

Anyway, such a person, it is difficult to say clearly.

Naturally, Dong Zhuo would not trust Zheng Tai, but he had to accept it.

He needs too many people... When he was in Liangzhou, he had the feeling that he could conquer the world immediately, but he couldn't rule the world immediately.

The other person is Dong Huang.

To be honest, Dong Bi hoped that that person was Zheng Tai, not Dong Juan.

No matter what grievances and grievances there are between him and Dong Juan, it is always a family matter.Dong Bi attaches great importance to the family, so he does not want to see divisions within the family.But in fact...

Dong Zhuo looked at Dong Huang and slowly closed his eyes.

Dong Huang also panicked at this time, and knelt down in front of Dong Zhuo with a plop, "Uncle, it's not me, I just obey the emperor's order..."

"Shut up!" When Dong Zhuo opened his eyes, his face was covered with frost, he looked at Dong Huang indifferently, and said after a while: "Li Ru, bring this traitor back to me, I want to interrogate him comfortably."

After finishing speaking, his stooped and obese body bowed slightly, "King Hongnong, the old minister's family education is not strict, and he will not be lightly forgiven for being such a disobedient person. Please rest well, the Queen Mother and King Hongnong. With the old minister here, I will never let you down." allow others to do harm."

There was a glimmer of expectation in Empress Dowager He's eyes.

But hearing what Dong Zhuo said, the light in his eyes dimmed.

I hoped that I could take this opportunity to let Bie re-ascend to the throne.But judging from what Dong Zhuo meant, it was clear that he didn't want to touch Han Emperor Liu Xie.

Dong Bi lightly shook Liu Bian's hand, "My lord, rest early, and I will visit you again tomorrow morning."

Like the backbone, Liu Bian held Dong Bi's hand and refused to let go.

Dong Zhuo frowned, "Xiping, stay here with King Hongnong for a while, arrange things properly, and then come home to discuss matters."

"Here!"

Discern, when will you grow up?
What a great opportunity just now, if you can act stronger, maybe...

But Dong Bi also knew that for Liu Bian, although he knew it was just a play, he had seen such a scene in his dream countless times.You are only 13 years old, and when you grew up in a greenhouse, when did you experience such ups and downs?
Li Ru led Dong Huang away, Dong Zhuo's back was hunched, and he looked much older all of a sudden.

But when he walked out of the gate of Yong'an Palace, his chest suddenly straightened, and his expression returned to normal again.

Dong Bi stayed in Yong'an Palace for a long time.

fell asleep...

Only then did Dong Bi stand up under the complicated eyes of Empress Dowager He, bowed and said: "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, I have ordered Li Xin and Sima Xiang'er's Luanwei camp to enter the imperial city. From today onwards, guard Yong'an Palace all day long, There will be no more trouble."

When Dong Bi came to the palace gate, Empress Dowager He suddenly stopped him.

"Dong Qing, you once told King Hongnong that there are two most precious treasures in the world, patience and hope, is that true?"

Dong Bi's back trembled visibly.

That sentence originated from the memory of the previous life, the last sentence in the immortal masterpiece "The Count of Monte Cristo".

Back then in the school grounds, Dong Bi accidentally told Liu Bian about this story, hoping that Liu Bian would become as strong as the protagonist.

But I didn't expect that after a few years, I still remember it.

Hope?
Dong Bi seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be answering Queen Mother He's question: "If you think there is hope, then there is!"

A very vague explanation, but in the ears of Queen Mother He, it became very beautiful.

"Dong Qing, thank you!"

Dong Bi walked out of Yong'an Palace in strides without looking back.

******
When they returned to the gate of the mansion, the surroundings were heavily guarded.

The meeting hall was brightly lit, Dong Huang was kneeling on the ground, and Dong Zhuo was sitting majestically on the grand master's chair in the middle.

There were not many people, and Dian Wei and Sha Moke were guarding the door.Li Ru sat upright in the lower seat, looking at his hands indifferently.

Dong Bi came in and bowed first.

Dong Zhuo nodded and motioned Dong Bi to sit down.

Sweeping his eyes towards Dong Juan, Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed a frightening cold murderous intent.

In the ancient times, the family was the world, and this family was the first place, especially some big families, and the interests of the family were paramount.

This is also one of the reasons why powerful families monopolize the government.

The so-called world class occupies a high position, and the poor are subdued.For the children of the family, the family is far above the country.

The Dong family is not an aristocratic family, but to a certain extent, it is also an aristocratic family.You can do evil, you can bully men and women, it's nothing.But there is a bottom line, if you break that bottom line, the family will punish you very severely.

The bottom line is, you can't betray your family.

Dong Juan's behavior, to some extent, is a betrayal of the family.Dong Zhuo absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of behavior.

"Who let you contact the emperor?"

"Yes, it's Yuan Fu, Yuan Fu!"

Li Ru looked indifferent, "In April, my father went to Longxi to attend the funeral for his mother. Wenxiu once drank with Yuan Fu in Yingxiong Building, accompanied by Shi A. In mid-May, he met Yuan Fu again in Cuiying Pavilion. Show up at the banquet."

Dong Huang raised his head and looked at Li Ru with resentment.

Li Ru sneered, "Wenxiu, don't be surprised. I didn't want to stare at you, but at the Yuan family. It's just that Yuan Fu made friends with you at the time, so I didn't think too much about it. In my opinion, your dignified Dong Young Master, how could you betray him?"

Dong Huang let out a stern laugh, "Eldest son, Li Ru, the eldest son of the Dong family, how could it be me?"

Dong Bi lightly stroked the stubble under his jaw.

Dong Huang said: "Now the Dong family, who knows me? Who will listen to me? Open your mouth Xiping, shut your mouth Ah Chou, Li Ru, don't think I don't know, the whole Dong family is surrounded by that ugly ghost Turning around, what am I, Dong Juan?"

Li Ru also laughed.

"Wenxiu, Ah Chou's success today is due to his own hard work. From Longxi to Jincheng, then to the Central Plains, and then in Luoyang, have you ever seen that Dad really stood up for him? The whole family gathered around Follow A Chou, maybe you think so, but in my opinion, everything A Chou has done is enough to make our whole family go around him."

Dong Bi could not help lowering his head when he heard this.

"I……"

Dong Huang still wanted to make an excuse, but he didn't know how to do it.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case.Dong Pi is famous for his bravery, and he can go to Luoyang as a hostage for his family.

If it were him, would he do this?
Li Ru continued: "Wenxiu, don't say that your family is biased. After the Lintao Rebellion, the amount of money that mother distributed to Ah Chou was not as much as you. When you came down in January, 15 cases of money disappeared, but Ah Chou However, all the extra money was used to form the troops. Look at him, even General Huaxiong was surprised when his trolls came out... I don’t deny that Yuan gave Ah Chou a lot of help, even I Ten thousand cases of money were given to Ah Chou, but Ah Chou did not use them indiscriminately."

"I……"

"You said that your father-in-law was unfair to you, but your father-in-law didn't blame you when you designed Ah Chou. Instead, he made you the captain in Fufeng. I was jealous when I saw the salary of [-] shi. But what about Ah Chou? He moved to the Central Plains , fought fiercely in Wanxian County, and even rescued Yuezhang in Wanxian County. He captured Longxi and forced the Qiang people back, and his credit was only a soldier."

Dong Zhuo kept his eyes closed, his hands trembling slightly.

Li Ru sneered and said, "Wenxiu, you pat your chest and say, has your father-in-law ever treated you badly?"

Dong Huang finally lowered his head...

Dong Bi said, "Brother Xiu, you always feel that I am forcing you, but to be honest, I never thought of competing with you. Dad is in a high position now and is envied by many people. I just want to protect our family. I really never thought about the others. When I was a child, I wanted my grandma to be safe and happy, and my family to live happily ever after. But my sister... Brother Xiu, you and I have different pursuits and different paths. My father is Ehou, logically speaking , I should inherit the title. But why did I ask father for an official position, why did father enshrine me as Marquis Zhi? Brother Xiu, father regards you as his own son, but he is thinking of you."

Dong Huang raised his head suddenly, tears streaming down his face.

"Uncle, Wenxiu deserves to die... When Yuan Fu came to me, he just asked me to get in touch with the emperor. I didn't expect Wu Qiong and Zhou Yu to assassinate my uncle. I just wanted to let out a sigh of relief, because I think, I...really... Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that if King Hongnong is not dead, he will not be able to sit on the throne with peace of mind. So he ordered me to kill King Hongnong, and said that my uncle also had the same idea."

Dong Zhuo opened his eyes, "Wenxiu, I just want to say, you really let me down!"

While talking, he raised his hand and saw Dian Wei and Sha Moke coming in, "Give him a good time, don't let him suffer!"

"Uncle, spare me, spare me...Wenxiu doesn't dare anymore, dare not..."

Dong Zhuo turned around, turned his back to Dong Huang and stopped talking.Dian Wei and Sha Moke dragged Dong Juan out, only to hear Dong Juan crying non-stop, but the voice was extremely miserable.

Dong Bi couldn't bear it, and wanted to stand up and intercede.

But Li Ru shook his head slightly, signaling Dong Bi not to speak.

It's not just this era, Dong Bi is very clear that for the big clan, betrayal is a crime that no one can forgive.

With a scream, Dong Zhuo's body trembled violently.

He thought of his brother.

I remembered the scene when my elder brother entrusted Dong Juan to him before his death, and even more... the scene when Dong Juan was a child, he galloped on a horse with Dong Juan in his arms.A throbbing pain in his heart caused Dong Zhuo to bend over and cover his chest.

"Brother, Zhongying... I'm sorry!"

Suddenly, Dong Bi turned around, raised his hand and overturned the Eight Immortals table to the ground.

"The heart of a child is so vicious, so vicious... You should kill it, you should kill it!"

Those pupils were as red as dripping blood, roaring sternly.

Dong Bi knew that Dong Zhuo was not cursing Dong Juan, but cursing the new emperor, Liu Xie.

"Li Ru, start a horse, I want to enter the palace...I want to tell him that if I can establish him, I can destroy him again!"

Li Ru was shocked when he heard this.

"Yue Zhang, you can't..."

Dong Zhuo also got up and hugged Dong Zhuo's body tightly, "Father, calm down, calm down."

Back then, when Dong Zhuo abolished Liu Bian, although the edict was torn up by Ding Yuan, most people had seen the contents.

Putting aside the issue of identity, Dong Zhuo stood up to righteousness in this matter.

But if Liu Xie is abolished again, it will be a big problem.If something like this really happened, it would inevitably cause the world to criticize.

Dong Zhuo is not Liu Xie who can't be abolished, the key is to abolish Liu Xie, and the eighteen princes will appear soon.

Dong Bi never wanted to bring the changed history back to its original track.

Even Dong Zhuo, who is so strong, couldn't help crying...

He was not as tall as Dong Bi, and laying on Dong Bi's chest, he cried loudly, "Although Wenxiu deserves to die, I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry, brother!"

After some consolation, Dong Zhuo finally stabilized his mood.

He patted Dong Bi on the shoulder, "Thanks to my son and Wen Zheng, we almost made a big mistake. It's okay, I'm okay... That's good, at least we men are of one mind, and our Dong family will be able to last forever." Prosper."

Dong Zhuo straightened the Eight Immortals table and helped Dong Zhuo to sit down.

Seeing Dong Zhuo, he kept breathing hard to calm down his emotions.He suddenly opened his eyes, and said indifferently: "Old man Yuan Kai, you really deserve to die. At the beginning, Yuan Benchu ​​rebelled against me. For his sake, I bypassed Yuan Shao and made him the prefect of Bohai Sea. Several heirs are also rewarded. But now I can see that the old Yuan's family is an unfamiliar dog."

Li Ru smiled coldly, "Since he is not familiar with him, he will simply kill his whole family."

Dong Zhuo said: "The Luoyang family has a lot of old officials who are disciples of the Yuan family. If we disturb the old Yuan's family, some people will definitely jump out. These people are not of the same heart as us, and they will be a disaster if they stay. Simply uproot them and save them." worry about the future."

Li Ru shook his head, "Yue Zhang, don't be in a hurry. The teacher came out of no name, and he will be tricked at that time... In my son-in-law's opinion, the Yuan family can be destroyed, but the scholars don't move for now. In Luoyang City, I don't know how many people are waiting So we lost our calculations, hehe!"

Dong Bi couldn't help but glanced at Li Ru.

Li Ru in Romance is almost the same as a two hundred and five.

To kill Liu Bian and instigate things, it seemed that he wished Dong Zhuo would go there and die.But looking at it now, I'm afraid that the novel was fabricated again.

Li Ru, the poison of this person may not be inferior to Jia Xu.

Judging from his tone, it is clear that he is going to give Luo Yang a one-pot meal.

"Brother-in-law, is the plan going out?"

"Is the assassination of Yue Zhang at Zhengyang Gate just for the convenience of Wenxiu to contact the emperor's son? Or, is it only the emperor's son who wants to kill Hongnong King? Hehe, I'm afraid it won't be that simple. In my opinion, it's like Ah Chou often says that saying: the good show has just begun!"

Dong Zhuo frowned, "Then what should we do?"

"Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, it's better to wait and see what happens. Only when we figure out the thief's intentions can we see through the tricks."

Dong Bi's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at Li Ru thoughtfully.I saw that Li Ru was also looking at him, and in that smiling face, now... was also full of killing intent.

Who is counting whom?

Who can say clearly?
Maybe it's really just like what Li Ru said, the fun has just begun.
