Chapter 26 Brother
Yang Chuo was dead, and he himself became a fugitive. Things were already like this. For Lu Bu, he didn't care at all whether others misunderstood, whether they would feel unfair to him, whether they would sympathize with him, and he didn't bother to explain.
But this man was Wen Yuan. In the dream, when the two of them were merging states, they drove out the Xiongnu and fought in Heishan together. Until he was defeated in Xiapi, Wen Yuan was with him.
Lu Bu explained, "That day when I was chasing the Hu people, he sent his men to ambush me in the middle of the road, trying to kill me. If it hadn't been for... luck, I would have died on the Wind Road. The collusion was said by the Hu people's general himself, and nine times
There were originally 500 garrison troops and countless gentry groups. If he hadn't been a hindrance, how could we have fallen overnight?"
As he spoke, he threw the cloth on which Yang Chuo sued himself to Zhang Liao to see.
Zhang Liao only knew the general outline of the matter before, but did not know the specific reasons for Jiuyuan's fall. Now after hearing this, he quickly figured out the connection.
Looking at Lu Bu's behavior today, he was drugged by them and yet he generously spared everyone, which shows that he is not a cruel and murderous person. If it is not a blood feud, and he is a good military commander, why should he be in such a mess?
Zhang Liao looked at the charges and said, "Since there is evidence, it can be reported to the court. Why lynching? In this case, you don't have to flee to the end of the world."
"Report?"
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao's expensive brocade robe and said, "You are also from a big family. You should know the background of Yang Chuo's family. What can I use to fight against the Yang family? Just with this piece of cloth?"
If he hadn't dreamed of that life, he might have gone to Luoyang to file a complaint with this accusation. But now he knew very well that he had not forced Yang Chuo to write this accusation. Even if the evidence was conclusive, he was a powerless and powerless person.
The little man Qian couldn't sue the Yang family, and even Dong Zhuo, a man with military power and arrogance, couldn't do anything to the aristocratic family in Luoyang.
Zhang Liao choked. No, he was just a military commander. It was impossible to bring down Yang Chuo. For the sake of reputation, the Yang family might frame Lu Bu. It would be easier to kill him directly.
After understanding the truth of the matter, Zhang Liao admired Lu Bu even more, and at the same time felt very aggrieved for him.
"My brother killed Hu people, beheaded Yang Chuo, avenged the people of Jiuyuan, and eradicated traitors for the country. He really did not deserve this injustice. Although my younger brother is only a minor official in Mayi, I still want to do my best to redress my brother's injustice. I will
Go back to the city and ask the general to report the truth to Commander Zhang."
Zhang Liao unconsciously called Lu Bu from "brother" to "older brother", and he was pleased to mention him as a younger brother. Lu Bu was in a good mood and stopped him and said, "Wen Yuan can believe my one-sided words. I am very happy for you, so don't do it."
That's no use."
"Why is it useless? Isn't Zhang Shijun just exercising the power of supervision?"
Lu Bu knew that the Zhang Shijun Zhang Liao was talking about was Zhang Yi, the current governor of Bingzhou. If this person wanted to avenge him, he would have found out the matter long ago, so why wait until now.
"Once Yang Chuo is convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the reputation of the Yang family is ruined, how can he let this crime fall on Yang Chuo? Besides, Zhang Shijun is not related to me, so why should he offend the Yang family for me?
What good will it do him to find out the truth? This matter is already full of doubts. As the governor of Bingzhou, he must have known about the fishy situation for a long time. Can you see what he did? "
Hearing what he said, Zhang Liao suddenly woke up from his feverish mind and frowned, "What should we do? Will my brother have to bear this crime for the rest of his life?"
How could it be possible? Although he was acting impulsively at the time, he also dared to be so confident because he knew that the big man would soon be completely in chaos.
In the dream, he killed two protagonists in a row, and Yang Chuo was just his boss. Killing him had no psychological burden at all. He didn't care whether the crime of murder was cleared in the end. When he was in power, how would this matter be recorded in the history books?
Records, it’s not him who has the final say.
However, before that, he had to let the Yang family stop pursuing him, otherwise he would really be in trouble. Even if he went to Dong Zhuo's place, he was afraid that Dong Zhuo wouldn't be able to protect himself now.
"Don't worry Wenyuan, I have my own thoughts on this matter."
Not wanting Zhang Liao to dwell on this matter anymore, Lu Bu changed the subject and said, "By the way, if you don't make an enemy of me today, will you be punished when you go back?"
Zhang Liao said, "It's okay. The magistrate of Mayi County is my uncle. I can at most give him a scolding and get rid of the problem. My brother is injured, so it's best to leave as soon as possible."
The few people who fled back must have gone to bring in reinforcements. If the clan uncle comes in person to lead the troops, he will not be able to openly disobey orders.
Lu Bu had not yet recovered his strength and was injured, so he did not care about it. Moreover, he did not want Zhang Liao to be in trouble at that time, so he handed over his hands and said, "I will leave now. I just want to ask Wen Yuan to help me inquire about something."
"Brother, please tell me!"
"I have a fellow countryman named Li Su, whose courtesy name is Zizheng. He went to Jizhou to join the army to quell the Yellow Turban rebellion half a year ago. Could you help me find out where he went?"
Zhang Liao said, "There are three generals who went to Jizhou to quell the chaos. If this person has not made a name for himself, it will be difficult to find him. But don't worry, brother, I will do my best to find it for you. If there is any news... Where can I find it?
you?"
Lu Bu said, "Jinyang is not far from here. I will go to Jinyang to stay for half a year. If you get any news, go directly there to find me. By the way, you can ask Dong Zhuo first."
"Okay!" Zhang Liao nodded and cupped his hands, "Brother, take care of yourself along the way!"
Then he reminded, "The Yang family has privately issued a reward for arresting my brother. You must be careful when you arrive in Jinyang."
He glanced at Al-Ling on the ground, "Don't trust others again, especially beautiful women."
Lu Bu's lips twitched, "I understand that I won't make the same mistake twice."
The more I live, the more I go back. After experiencing a life in a dream, I actually fell into such a low-level trick. Although this woman's acting is realistic, there are still many flaws if you think about it carefully.
The first suspicious thing was the corpse. The corpse pretending to be her father had clearly been dead for a long time. He had already had suspicions at that time. If he went to check the corpses of other servants, he would definitely find more flaws. It was really too imprudent.
The second suspicious thing is that Ah Ling fell asleep just after lying down for a while. At that time, she thought it was because she was too tired during the day, but she didn't expect that both her parents died overnight. No matter how tired she was, she couldn't lie down and fall asleep.
With.
If his physique had not changed, he would have fallen into the hands of a small county magistrate this time. He was so stupid, how could he have dealt with the Xiliang generals around Dong Zhuo, let alone Cao Mengde.
Alas, to be honest, after thinking about it for so long, he still couldn't figure out where he lost to Cao Cao.
…………
At Wang Yun's residence in Luoyang, the eastern capital, Zhang Mo was also recognizing his brother at this moment.
When she arrived in Luoyang today, Wang Yun hurried into the palace to meet the saint without even entering her house. She could only face the three sworn brothers in the hall who she had never met before.
Wang Yun was born in Jinyang, Shanxi Province. She has been an official for generations and has a high family status. As a refugee, she is not only the master of the Wang family, but also a servant. People may not think highly of her. She is very self-aware and does not expect them to really treat her as their sister.
Look, as long as you don't despise and bully her, you'll be satisfied.
After bowing and waiting for a while, there was still no sound from above. The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. She sweated on her palms and thought to herself, "This is the first time we meet. Is it possible that these three people want to give me a favor?"
Show off your power?"
Zhang Mo couldn't stop complaining, so she really didn't need to show off her power. Even if she was an adopted daughter, no matter how much she was valued, she would never be as valuable as her biological son. Besides, Wang Yun didn't really value her.
My knees were aching, and I was about to get up regardless of etiquette, when a deep, magnetic voice from above suddenly sounded.
"Amei? Are you the sister Amao mentioned in my father's letter?"
Following the sound of footsteps, a tall figure loomed in front of her eyes. A pair of slender white hands stretched out and gently lifted her elbows, "My sister, please get up quickly!"
The male voice chuckled, "Don't be surprised! It's just that my sister is so cute, but my brother was stunned for a moment, which made you suffer."
Zhang Mo was about to speak when another slightly childish voice came out, "Brother, you are being unreasonable. You are so dumbfounded that you blame my sister for being so good-looking."
The man smiled and said, "How dare you? Such a well-behaved and lovely sister, how dare you blame her brother before it's too late for him to be happy? Moreover, my sister made several suggestions in Runan to help my father quell the rebellion. My brother even listened to the housekeeper's advice, especially his coaxing.
It would be really wonderful for the thief to give up Yang Zhai's plan on his own."
It can be heard that this elder brother really likes her.
Zhang Mo raised her head slightly and looked at the two brothers in front of her. The eldest brother and Wang Yun were carved out of the same mold. Although their facial features were very ordinary, their eyes were clear, their posture was upright, and they had an aura of righteousness. She felt friendly, as if she had seen her father when he was young.
The way it was at that time.
"I am your eldest brother Wang Gai." Wang Gai pointed to the man in green shirt standing beside him, "This is your second brother Wang Jing."
Wang Jing was more handsome than Wang Gai, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was almost eight feet tall, and he was looking at her with a smile.
Zhang Mo was greeted again.
Wang Jing smiled and said: "There is no need to be too polite as a family. We brothers have been looking forward to having a sister day and night. However, since my mother passed away, my father has not remarried. I thought that there was no hope in this life, but I didn't want my father to go out."
, I actually brought back a fairy-like sister."
He turned around and looked at Wang Ding, the third brother who was still standing behind with his head dazed, and joked: "You are jealous that your sister is prettier than you?"
Wang Ding suddenly came back to his senses, stepped forward, and looked at Zhang Mo from head to toe, from front to back. Zizhen sighed: "I thought I was pretty enough, but I didn't expect that this sister is even more beautiful than me. It's really
A bit prettier than the little fairy in the sky!"
Zhang Mo was also sizing up Wang Ding, who was still half a boy, with fair skin, straight facial features, a pair of peach-blossom eyes looking passionately, and a bit of bohemianism in his brows.
Wang Jing smiled and said, "When did my third brother see the fairy in the sky?"
Wang Ding scratched his head and said, "I saw it in my dream. It's really not as good-looking as my sister."
"Third brother is so complimentary."
Zhang Mo pretended to smile shyly, and felt completely relaxed. As expected, no matter what era, faces are important, and a good-looking face can make people feel better.
Wang Ding waved his hands repeatedly, "No compliments, no compliments, my third brother has seen countless beauties, but I have never seen my sister so stunning. Although she is still young, I am sure that in three or four years, my sister will definitely be the most beautiful girl in the world."
Known as the Alluring City."
Zhang Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud, "How old are you, the third brother, and you already have countless beauties?"
Wang Ding said seriously: "I'm not going to lie to you, no matter it's Jinyang or Luoyang, I haven't seen any young lady? There really is no one as beautiful as my sister."
Wang Ding was a chatterbox, and he said with a smile: "This is my first time in Luoyang, sister. Let me tell you, Luoyang is really fun. The third brother will take you to Yuehua Pavilion someday, and..."
When he heard about Yuehua Pavilion, Wang Gai immediately interrupted him: "Don't lead my sister into trouble. My sister is tired from traveling all the way. It's business to let her go wash up and have a meal quickly."
"Yes, sister must be tired. Let's go and rest first. After the family dinner in the evening, brother will tell you this interesting story about Luoyang."
Wang Gai turned around and said to Zhang Mo: "The residence has been packed up in the mansion. Your third brother has taken care of it personally. My sister will go to rest first. I will send someone to call you when it's time to eat."
Then he said to the two maids waiting aside: "Ying'er, Yan'er, quickly lead the young lady in to freshen up and change clothes."
