Chapter 144: The gate of the mansion in Luoyang City (2)

Luoyang, this ancient city, was the capital of how many dynasties?

Dong Qi was not very clear about his poor history. However, he heard from Wang Ji that this city was once a royal capital during the Zhou Dynasty. Since Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty, Luoyang has become the center of politics and commerce in the whole world.

Since it is the center, it is very prosperous!

Although the weather is very cold, Luoyang City is very lively.

From the General's Mansion, Dong Qi and Lu Zhi walked side by side on the street. It can be seen that there had been heavy snow here because there were traces of snow on the eaves. However, there were no traces of melted snow on the street.

Walking on the street outside Yingchun Gate, Lu Zhi didn't speak.

Dong Tie followed behind with the horse, and Lu Zhi's close friend followed silently.

The atmosphere was very subtle, and Dong Qi couldn't think of what Lu Zhi wanted to say to him?

"My nephew!"

Just as we were about to reach Yingchun Gate, Lu Zhi finally couldn't help but speak, "Actually, I'm looking for you, I'm asking you for something."

Note that Lu Zhi used the word "Que".

Dong Qi looked at Lu Zhi in shock and said in confusion: "Mr. Lu, you can say this... You are highly respected and your nephew really can't bear it. If you have any instructions, just say it. As long as you are within your ability, you will definitely not refuse."

Lu Zhi stopped, seemingly hesitating.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind, and whispered: "Nephew, I actually know that Liu Bei was not rebelling!"

Dong Qi was stunned and suddenly remembered that Liu Bei was Lu Zhi's student.

Looking at Lu Zhi vigilantly, Dong Qi did not speak.

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly, "I guess he has heard of it. Liu Bei once worshipped me under my disciple. I know this person very well. He likes flashy, has great ambitions, and values ​​friendship. But this person... Alas, I'll say it clearly. Liu Bei was originally under my account. When I left Jizhou, he said something he shouldn't say. I knew he was also considering me, so I couldn't bear to kill him, so I drove him to Anxi County. I just don't know, how did he offend his nephew?"

Dong Qi felt that this last sentence was a bit of accusation.

However, this old man is also very pitiful. He is a good person, but he will not succeed in his life. According to the Romance of the Romance, he was framed by eunuchs during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Later, he stayed in Luoyang. When the eunuch temple was in chaos, he once guarded Nangong.

After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the old man angrily retired because of Dong Zhuo's aggression and destruction.

Two students were left behind, one was Gongsun Zan, who was killed by Yuan Shao when the princes of Guandong competed. The other was Liu Bei, although he was later successful, now he was carrying a name for a rebel. Now, Lu Zhi has quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Although he was not framed by the eunuch temple, it aroused suspicion from the court. I am afraid that the outcome will not be too good in the future.

Dong Chu thought about it and felt that he should make the statement clear.

After all, this is Luoyang, and Lu Zhi and Cai Yong have a lot of relationship, so it is too stiff.

Besides, it was really embarrassing him that he was so old that he had to come over and speak humbly for the incompetent student.

Now, I have told you about the past and after.

However, Dong Qi did not take the responsibility of wronging Liu Bei, and explained: "Mr. Lu, this is the case. If it weren't for Liu Xuande bullying me, I wouldn't have caused trouble for him. Moreover, I really don't know the name of this thief. After coming to Luoyang, I heard from Duke Meng De that Liu Xuande was regarded as a thief by Wang Fen. If you don't believe it, you can ask."

How did Lu Zhi ask?

If you have such a student, you can’t be embarrassed. How can he have the shame to ask Wang Fen?

"I see!"

But Lu Zhi had another thought: Wang Fen was a party member and had always been very close to Yuan Wei and others. Yuan Wei had tried to win me over several times earlier, but I rejected it. It seemed that this must be Xuande, the party member was revengeing me, so he was implicated.

"Nephew, I understand after you say this." Lu Zhi was a little ashamed. After all, it was his own student who ran to do such a looting thing. It was really embarrassing to say it. But he couldn't bear to let go and said immediately: "This is indeed something Xuande did wrong... Now he has been punished, which is also considered retribution. However, I heard that his family..."

Dong Qi said readily: "I caught me!"

"My nephew, my fault is not as good as my family... I want to ask for love for Xuande's old mother. If I can't hand it over to the court, don't hand it over to the court."

"Don't you leave it to the court?"

Dong Qi pondered as a result. In fact, he didn't want to hand over Liu Bei's family to the court, but he just did not make a decision yet. He vaguely felt that Liu Bei's family might be useful in his hands.

"Okay, I can try to solve this problem, but I won't let it go. If Liu Xuande causes trouble for me, I will always keep some help. Mr. Lu, I think you are a sensible person, and you should understand my hardships. In this way, I promise not to make things difficult for his family and his mother, if my mother, will definitely take good care of them."

After hearing this, Lu Zhi finally felt relieved.

Xuande, I have done everything I can. You should do it yourself in the future.

After thanking Dong Qi, Lu Zhi rode on the horse and took his personal care.

At this time, it was already setting sun.

A touch of red illuminated on Lu Zhi's body, making his back shadow look very long. The back was filled with a sadness of a hero's twilight. The originally straight waist seemed a little hunched at this time. A strand of white hair fluttered in the wind.

Dong Qi looked at Lu Zhi silently and tried to call him several times, but he didn't speak.

People, after all, have their own destination!

Lu Zhi has Lu Zhi’s dream. This is a good person and has his own principles. I just hope he can have a good result in the future.

"Master, we now..."

"go home!"

Dong Qi calmed down, took a deep breath, and smiled and said, "We'll go home now!"

*******

The house that Dong Qiu bought in Luoyang was very large.

It was originally a prominent family residence in Luoyang with a history of 70 or 80 years, but due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the whole family was executed, leaving only an empty house. Because the original owner was in trouble, no one was willing to live here, so he abandoned it. After Tang Zhou came, he felt that Dong Qi's murderous aura was enough to shock the dead souls of the house, so he bought it.

No wonder, Luoyang is worth every inch of land, and good houses have been bought, and it is too late to build new houses.

At the beginning, Tang Zhou didn't want to buy such a large house.

But who would have thought of meeting Ma Song...

Thinking of the capital, there are many aristocratic families, and there are even more slaves. Dong Qi is in the capital, so he must have conflicts with others. It is better to keep this troll as a guard. First, these people have experienced battle formations, and second, they are also loyal to Dong Qi. With these people, even if something happens in the future, it will be enough to protect Dong Qi's retreat from Luoyang.

Therefore, when Dong Qi stood at the gate of the house, he was a little confused.

What is a ritual gate?

It is what we usually call the main gate. Because it is located on the street, it is also called Yimen.

In the Three Kingdoms era, ordinary civilian households were not qualified to have ritual doors. That is, the original owner of this house had a certain identity, so they had such qualifications. Once built, they would be built. It is impossible to block this ritual door.

Moreover, as a military clerk in the General's Mansion, Dong Qi enjoyed a salary of 300 stones.

His father was also the governor of Liangzhou, the Marquis of Dongxiang, and the former general. He was also a senior official of the court and his status was worthy of the Yimen.

But Dong Qi felt that even in Dong’s mansion in Lintao, there might not be such a luxurious gate.

After entering the house, I saw the stairs inside, the pavilions, the pavilions, the rockery and flowing water all with the spirit of a wealthy family.

The courtyard three times, and the first one is only entering, and it makes Dong Qi a little confused about the path.

Dong Lu was directing the girls in the Tiger Girls' Camp to remove the furniture in the living room and replace it with the furniture that Dong Qi brought from Lintao.

One Eight Immortals Table and two Grand Master Chairs.

On both sides of the hall are placed two rows of tables, chairs and tea tables.

Seeing Dong Qi coming, Dong Lu said happily: "My husband, do you think this is the placement, okay?"

Dong Qi did not answer and walked straight to the Eight Immortals Table and sat down.

Twisting his body, he suddenly started to laugh.

"My husband, why are you laughing at?"

Dong Qi said: "It's very good, just place it like this... By the way, how are the residences of this person allocated?"

Dong Lu said with a smile: "The houses here are so big and many. The first thing to enter the courtyard is to allow the trolls and the third brother's Wuxi barbarians to live in."

“So many rooms?”

"Ma Song calculated that there were only two hundred rooms in the first room. Each room was three people, enough to be placed... In addition, there was a large martial arts training ground in the front yard, which was just enough for them to practice. Tang Zhou said that the owner of this house was a high-ranking official in the court, and his temperament was really different. I think it was bigger than the house in our ranch."

As expected, the greater the official position, the more dangers it will be!

Dong Qi sighed in his heart, and then asked, "Where is the tiger girl camp? How do you place it?"

"The Hunter Camp lives in the backyard. There are many wing rooms there, and almost two people can use one, which is more spacious than the ranch. We live in the middle, and our elder brother and third brother live here... Well, the elder brother just said that he was going to take his family over. If this happens, there will be a lot of houses left. Tang Zhou said he wants to buy some slaves."

"Don't have a slave!"

Dong Qi stood up and said, "Tell Tang Zhou that I want to repair this house, and all the annoying rockery and other things will be leveled for me. More martial arts performance venues... From today on, I want this mansion to be like a military camp, do you understand?"

"Military camp?"

Dong Lu didn't understand, but she wrote down Dong Qi's words.

I thought to myself: Is the mansion gate? What I said is really appropriate.

Dong Qi walked out of the hall, stood on the steps, looking at the half-black sky, and his mouth suddenly raised and he showed a smile.
