"Xiaochan, as you expected, there is really a Cuijiazhuang in the mountains in the north, and the owner of Cuijiazhuang is really called Cui Yi, and he is also the younger brother of Cui Lie, the former Situ Lord. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lu Bu couldn't suppress his excitement and said excitedly.

Ji Ran smiled, of course this is true, it is written in the history books, so can it be fake?

"Then did Brother Lu meet a nobleman?" Ji Ran pretended not to know, and Lu Bu nodded fiercely, "Mmmm, I met, Xiaochan, guess who the person I met is?" ”

Ji Ran snickered in his heart, it must be the brothers of Emperor Shaodi of Han and Chen Liuwang, who else can there be? However, Ji Ran frowned slightly on the surface, pretending not to know, "Could it be Lord Situ?" ”

"No, what I met is His Majesty and King Chen Liu." Lu Bu said excitedly, and a look of joy jumped on his face.

"Huh? Are you sure? Have you met Your Majesty and King Chen Liu? Ji Ran pretended to be surprised, he didn't know if he was acting like him, after all, he hadn't studied acting before, and he hoped that Lord Lu Bu wouldn't see the flaws.

"What? Didn't you do divination? Lu Buhu asked suspiciously, Ji Ran shook his head again and again, "No, I can only divinate the general situation, but it is difficult to divinate the details." ”

"There was a lot of turmoil in the court this time, the Ten Standing Servants were in trouble with the Dynasty, and they also designed to kill the general He Jin, Yuan Shao led the soldiers to rush into the palace, chasing and killing the Ten Standing Servants, the Beijing Division was in chaos, Your Majesty and King Chen Liuwang were almost killed, but fortunately they met me in time, and they saved the day." Lu Bu said and suddenly looked at Ji Ran, "No, the credit should be attributed to Diao Chan Girl, if it wasn't for Diao Chan Girl asking me to go to Cuijiazhuang, how could I, Lu Bu, meet Your Majesty, and how could I build this miraculous feat?" ”

"Brother Lu is too modest, it was originally the credit of Brother Lu, I just said it casually occasionally, I didn't know if His Majesty would go there, by the way, Brother Lu, have you seen Dong Zhuo?" Ji Ran asked.

"Are you talking about Lord Dong Zhuo of the Western Liang Thorn?" Lu Bu asked curiously.

"yes." Ji Ran nodded noncommittally.

"Well, I saw it, not only saw Lord Dong Zhuo, but also saw the famous Xiliang Army, I haven't seen it for a few years, I didn't expect Lord Dong's Xiliang Army to be prosperous, this time when I was driving, the Xiliang Army was in the limelight in front of the civil and military officials, and Lord Dong was also kind and humble, this time the credit for the protection, Lord Dong did not suffer at all, and pushed all the credit to me, it is really amazing, in this troubled world, there is such a virtuous adult." Lu Bu's words made Ji Ran a little confused.

Brother Lu, are you sure you're talking about Dong Zhuo? Dong Zhuo in history should be a person who bullies men and women, is domineering and greedy for power and lustful, right, why does it seem that the Lord Dong Zhuo you said is not related to the Lord Dong Zhuo in history?

"Brother Lu, are you sure that you are not talking about Lord Situ?" Ji Ran asked suspiciously, Lu Bu shook his head with a wry smile, "Of course not, Lord Situ is better than the third division, how can he pay attention to an unknown person like me?" ”

Ji Ran was taken aback, and then immediately understood, Situ's official position was a very high central official in the Han Dynasty, and Lu Bu was just a small chief of staff of a local military region, and the two were much worse in rank, and it was understandable that Lord Situ did not notice Lu Bu, a small officer.

"Brother Lu, are you really sure that Master Dong Zhuo is a good official?" Ji Ran was still puzzled in his heart, Lu Bu nodded noncommittally, "Yes, Lord Dong's army is stationed outside Luoyang City, and there is no offense against Minqiu, people praise Lord Dong for his strict management of the army, this is a well-known reputation among the people of Luoyang, how can it be fake?" ”

"Huh?" Oh my God, how could it be like this? If Lord Dong Zhuo is a virtuous minister who loves the people like a son, then why does the historian portray Lord Dong as a great rebel who troubles the government and insults the **?

Looking at Brother Lu's appearance, it seems that he admires Master Dong very much, is history really going to repeat itself?

No, Brother Lu has a straightforward temperament, Dong Zhuo is a sinister and cunning person, it is also possible that Brother Lu was deceived by Dong Zhuo, whether Dong Zhuo is a virtuous person or not, in short, Brother Lu cannot kill Ding Yuan and bear the notoriety of being a traitor seeking glory.

"Brother Lu, if you had to choose between fame and wealth, which one would you choose?"

Lu Bu looked at Ji Ran in surprise, I don't know why Ji Ran suddenly asked like this, however, Lu Bu didn't think much about it, and took down Fang Tian's painting halberd from the weapon rack, "In my Lu Bu's eyes, fame and wealth are just a pile of dung, I am a general, the country is above, and the people are Li Min, painting halberds in my hands, killing all the thieves and dogs in the world, and returning the country to Qingping." ”

The righteousness that Lu Bu said was awe-inspiring, which made Ji Ran can't help but feel a burst of heartbeat, "Brother Lu, you really deserve to be a big husband, a big hero, well, I support you." ”

"What?" Lu Bu was stunned.

"That's it, I support you and agree with you." Ji Ran explained with a smile.

"Okay, with you as my virtuous helper, I Lu Bu will have no worries, hahahaha... Lu Bu said and laughed heartily.

Although Lu Bu has a very high opinion of Dong Zhuo, Ji Ran is still suspicious, Dong Zhuo is a scheming guy, he must not be taken lightly, he must go to investigate secretly.

"Brother Lu, in the past few days since you left, people have been bored to death in the barracks, and they haven't gone out for a long time." Ji Ran pouted, pretending to be pitiful.

"Xiaochan, where do you want to go? I'll go with you. Lu Bu asked with a smile.

"Well, in two days, will you accompany me to Luoyang again? Luoyang's street market is bustling, and I haven't gone shopping for a long time. Ji Ran found an excuse to go shopping, but Lu Bu didn't notice it at all, then nodded and readily agreed.

A few days later, the streets of Luoyang were bustling.

Ji Ran walked on the street, looking around, on the surface, it seemed that he was shopping and playing, but in fact, he was observing the social situation and people's livelihood, and the people's joy and anger were the easiest to reflect the attitude towards the court.

"This uncle, I heard that a senior official named Dong Zhuo has recently come to the capital, right?" Ji Ran asked with a smile to the uncle who was doing business on the street.

"Girl, aren't you from Luoyang? Why hasn't even Master Dong heard of it? The uncle looked at Ji Ran in surprise, and Ji Ran smiled awkwardly, "I haven't been back for a long time, uncle, how is Lord Dong Zhuo?" Did you bully the common people? ”

When the uncle heard Ji Ran say this, his face was full of unhappiness, and he waved his hand again and again, "Lord Dong is a rare good official, people come to the capital, but they have done a lot of good things for our people in the capital, how can they be said to be bullying the common people?" ”

"Huh? So what good did he do? Ji Ran asked curiously.

"After Lord Dong came to the capital, he suggested that His Majesty reduce the tax rate, people feel that our people have a heavy burden, so they want to reduce the tax rate to protect industry and commerce and maintain the prosperity of Luoyang, no, two days ago, the tax rate was really reduced, and our life will be better." Looking at the joy on the uncle's face, as if he wasn't joking, did Dong Zhuo really think about the people?

"If the tax rate is lowered, won't the income of the imperial court be reduced? Will the emperor agree? Ji Ran asked.

"Lord Dong said that the money of the imperial court cannot be pressed on the people, and the people have a difficult life, and if they want money, they must collect it from the rich households, so as to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor, but Lord Dong has also offended many rich businessmen and giants in Luoyang, hey, it is really difficult to be a good official these days." The uncle shook his head helplessly.

How so? Could it be that Dong Zhuo is really a good official who is dedicated to the people?

Ji Ran was still not very relieved, so he went to the outskirts of Luoyang, a village very close to the Xiliang Army's station, and saw a peaceful atmosphere in the village, children in the village playing together, and the faces of the people were full of smiles.

Not far away, an aunt was staggering with difficulty carrying a bucket of water, and just as Ji Ran wanted to step forward to help, a Xiliang sergeant wearing armor had already walked over one step ahead of Ji Ran, "Auntie, I'll come!" ”

Sergeant Xiliang took the bucket in the hand of the aunt, helped the aunt carry the water to the house, looking at the military appearance and military style of the Xiliang soldiers, Ji Ran couldn't help but sigh, "This is the people's soldiers." ”

Lu Bu also smiled and nodded, "Soldiers should be like this." ”

"Brother Lu, can you do it with the state army?" Ji Ran asked Lu Bu curiously, Lu Bu had a difficult face, "The White Tiger Battalion can do it, if it is other sergeants, I don't know how to say, maybe it can be done." ”

After a day of careful investigation, both businessmen and farmers spoke highly of Dong Zhuo, and the Xiliang Army did have strict military discipline and did not violate the law and discipline at all, could it be that history distorted Dong Zhuo? Or was Dong Zhuo deliberately slandered and slandered because he touched the interests of the aristocratic group?

"Xiaochan, what are you thinking?" Lu Bu looked at Ji Ran with a worried look and asked curiously.

Ji Ran smiled slightly and shook his head, "It's nothing, by the way, Brother Lu, it's not too early, let's find a hotel to rest, right?" ”

"yes, okay."

The two came to Luoyang City, but they searched for several hotels in a row and were overcrowded, and finally found the only single room left in a small hotel after looking for a long time.

"It's really strange, it's not a festival today, why is the inn full of people?" Ji Ran was surprised.

"I think these people are suspicious, so let's be careful." Lu Bu reminded in a low voice, and Ji Ran looked at Lu Bu in surprise, "Brother Lu, you don't mean to create a tense atmosphere and deliberately scare people, right?" ”

Lu Bu smiled awkwardly, "I just feel it, in short, it's better to be careful." ”

"I see, I'd better beware of you first, tonight I'll sleep on the bed, you sleep on the floor, no objection, no protest." Ji Ran said and jumped on the bed first, Lu Bu laughed, "Aren't you afraid that I will climb into your bed in the middle of the night?" ”
