Chapter 395: Divergence

The long whip was whipped again and again,

Immediately brought up scarlet blood marks on his body,

A terrible scream came from the mouths of the soldiers,

Especially the leader Li Shan,

He received the greatest number of canes,

And to him who executes,

is a Dub,

The strength of his people is incomparable,

In the process of execution,

It's like treating an enemy who kills his father,

I can't complain that this Dubo is so ruthless,

Long before they came here,

I was informed that I came here on a special mission.

At the same time, not only did there be no reward for completing it,

If you don't do it well, you will be severely punished,

Therefore, in line with the principle that the friends of the dead do not die and the poor does,

When this Dubo was beating Li Shan,

There is no half point left at all,

It's only a dozen lashes down,

Li Shan's sturdy back was already bloody and blurred,

Now after dozens of whips down,

Li Shan's screams have begun to be hoarse,

The crowd of onlookers was awe-inspiring,

Many young and timid people can't help but feel sick to their stomachs.

Far away from hell,

After the whole process,

Lu Bu always stood there with his hands in his hands,

Zhang Ning has already taken his daughter away from here,

He stood here motionless,

The people led by Zhang Yan did not dare to act rashly,

Especially Xue Gui, who was kneeling,

Listening to Li Shan's screams again and again,

He looks quite mighty,

At this moment, like a weak little daughter-in-law,

The body trembles like chaff for fear,

Fortunately, Li Shan did not yell his name,

Otherwise, he will be involved.

At this time,

Where is there still the momentum of Xue Gongzi's talent,

Even that day, when the three of them met in secret,

For Lu Bu's contempt,

Now it's completely gone,

even began to fear Lu Bu in his heart.

The screams continued for about half an hour,

The flogging is finally over,

The soldiers are peeling open one by one,

You can faintly see the white bones deep in the wound,

Li Shan is already angry,

It was only at this time that Lu Bu finally let go of his hands that had always been behind his back,

Sighing softly,

I don't know what is in my heart,

Spoke softly, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice,

"Lead the way, go to your county office and sit down."

Pei Ji's body shook,

Hurriedly stood up,

Don't dare to move some stiff bones,

Hunched over and trotting ahead to lead the way,

Only then did the group leave this place in a majestic manner,

Those miserable-looking soldiers,

and they were carried away by the soldiers who had just executed them.

The door of Xuejia rice shop was tightly closed,

Someone started sweeping the ground,

After a long time,

The streets are once again bustling with activity.

In the Yazhong of Yulu County,

In the main hall, Lu Bu sat on the main seat,

On the left hand sat Zhang Yan and Zhang Ji and another young man,

This person's name is Lou Gui, the word Zibo,

This is a Jingzhao person,

Self-named 'Mengmei Jushi',

is also a very strategic person,

In the original history,

It also assisted Cao Cao to defeat Ma Chao in one fell swoop,

The most famous deeds,

It was the time to attack Ma Chao,

The sand he proposed established a meritorious service for the city law,

That is, taking advantage of the unusually cold northwest wind,

So that the sand mixed with water turned into a hard and solid wall overnight,

Make the horse super powerful army,

In the face of such a sudden appearance like a miracle of heavy protective walls,

can only sigh in despair,

In the end, it was a feather back,

As a result, Cao Cao seized the opportunity to lay the victory.

is often praised by Cao Cao:

"Uncle Zi's plan, I can't do it!"

This person is one of the talents that Jia Xu found and recommended.

Long before Lu Bu Weifu went out of the patrol,

Jia Xu made contact with it secretly,

and pull it over,

This time, Lu Bu wanted to take Yu Lu as a starting point,

Rectify the entire Guanzhong region,

So he secretly ordered Zhang Yan to bring this person over,

Just on the streets,

Lu Bu has been refusing to reveal his identity since then,

It is to wait for their arrival.

On Lu Bu's right-hand side,

There were three young men sitting tremblingly,

It is the three sons of the three major families in Hedong,

are also the three people who speak in this Yulu county,

Pei's Pei Ji, Liu's Liu Quan, Xue's Xue Gui.

The three of them no longer have their usual demeanor at the moment,

Pei Ji is still wearing that official uniform,

Liu Quan and Xue Gui were dressed in luxurious clothes,

But the gas state of the three of them at the moment is definitely not elegant,

Especially on Xue Gui's face,

At this moment, although there is no cold sweat to continue to break out,

But that miserable face,

It's like a person who has just recovered from a serious illness.

Lu Bu gently tapped the table with one hand rhythmically,

It's his habit,

Lips slightly closed,

From time to time, his eyes swept over Pei Ji and the others,

Whenever Lu Bu's cold gaze swept over,

The three of them tightened their hearts.

Lu Bu's fingers finally paused,

Whispered:

"The dismount that your three families gave me is very good."

Lu Bu said that the wind is light,

But in the ears of Pei Ji and the others,

But it is like thunder on the ground,

Xue Gui's face became even paler,

Lips trembled,

I tried to open my mouth but never opened my mouth.

Pei Ji hurriedly smiled and said:

"Wen Hou, this is all a misunderstanding......

The smile on his lips was bitter,

In his heart, he couldn't wait to kill Xue Gui beside him,

Earlier I told this guy in every possible way,

lest something go wrong from him,

Outcome......

On weekdays, he always looks high-spirited,

I can't even look at him in my eyes,

Pei Ji has long known this,

It's just that I didn't expect this time at this juncture,

He's still so unscrupulous,

If you say that at the beginning of meeting Lu Bu,

He didn't recognize it,

Pei Ji still has some belief,

After all, Lu Bu's disguise can be called superb,

In addition to the cover of his wife and daughter,

He began to be skeptical,

But it happened so long,

If you say that Xue Gui never had doubts in his heart,

That is purely deliberately belittling Xue Gongzi,

But there was already news in advance,

And then again so suspicious situation,

How dare you do this,

I really don't know which of this kid's tendons is wrong.

Lu Bu squinted at Xue Guidao:

"Do you need me to explain that little trick? If you want to capture and kill two birds with one stone to retreat, this is also to meet me, if you change to other ordinary rangers, wouldn't you be toyed with by you to applaud, and your drunkard does not mean to drink, but on my wife, I am afraid that you will also take it for yourself. ”

After saying something,

Xue Gui couldn't stand it anymore,

Straight down from the chair,

Kneeling on the ground,

Cold sweat rolled down.

Lou Gui, who was directly opposite him, originally closed his eyes and recuperated,

At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes,

His gaze fluttered in the direction of Lu Bu,

After looking at it with interest,

Slowly closed his eyes again,

But the corners of his mouth quietly hung a light smile.

Lu Bu ignored Xue Gui's plea for mercy,

Fingers tapped on the table again,

looked at Pei Ji and Liu Quan,

Leaning back in his chair,

"The Pei family, the Liu family, and the Xue family in Hedong are all prestigious families that have lasted for a hundred years, and they have a decisive influence in the entire Guanzhong region, and the three families have always been in the same breath, advancing and retreating together, even if they are like Jingzhao Wei's and other big families, they can only accept the result of being on an equal footing with you. A small Yulu County has become your bag, and even dominates here. What a powerful family, hehe. ”

"Wait for the anger, that's not the case."

Pei Ji hurriedly came out and knelt on the ground,

Respectfully said to Lu Bu.

Behind him, Liu Quan, whose face was like earth, couldn't even say a word.

Although Lu Bu's expression was light,

But these words,

But it can be described as a heart,

This kind of thing is generally known to everyone under the table.

The superior needs the major families to control the place,

The major families need to have the right of protection and gift from the superior,

So in many places,

Often the power of the local powerful family is very strong,

But the superior generally does not intervene excessively.

This is the result of each side taking what they want,

However, it generally not,

It does not mean that there are no exceptions.

For example, a superior person needs to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.

Or those families who don't have long eyes to provoke the higher-ups,

Then it is very likely to be directly destroyed by the superior with power,

But they have both of them at the moment.

Of course, it's not that those families are all fish on the chopping board.

can be taken by those who are in high power,

It's not that it hasn't happened,

With the strength in their hands, the Haoqiang family

the situation of resisting or even overthrowing the rule of the superior,

It's just that it's much more difficult.

At least, the current Guanzhong region,

Although Lu Bu is afraid of the power of the major families,

But it's just that I don't want to waste effort and energy.

If the two sides really tear their faces,

In the end, the biggest loss will only be those powerful families,

This is still based on the premise that all Haoqiang families advance and retreat together.

Simply these three families,

It's just that it can give Lu Bu a slight headache.

The three of them knew this very well.

Therefore, in the previous secret meeting,

Regarding the way Lu Bu was treated,

All three of them invariably chose to accept and cater to it,

Even if it's that Xue Gui,

Although he wanted to give Lu Bu a little hardship,

But at the end of the day,

It's just that I hope to make Lu Bu pay more attention to the Xue family,

can allow the Xue family to get more vested interests,

It's also a means.

Lu Bu suddenly said such words,

Even if the three of them feel that Lu Bu will not be because of today's trivial matter,

drove the three families into the abyss from which they will never recover,

But they didn't dare to bet,

Even if there were all kinds of calculations in my heart before,

At this moment, they can only surrender,

I don't dare to give birth to other ideas.

Lu Bu's fingers were still tapping lightly on the tabletop,

His eyes did not look at the three young men who were kneeling on the ground,

Looking at the sunlight outside the hall,

I don't know what to think in my mind.

After he fell silent,

And there was silence in the house,

Only the rhythmic tapping of fingers on the table reverberates gently.

Although Pei Ji was frightened in his heart,

But the mind is unusually calm at this time,

He has now been able to determine,

Today's situation,

For their three families,

Although it is a crisis,

But if he does it right, it's not a good time.

Only, that's it......

Pei Ji lowered his head,

subconsciously glanced at Liu Quan and Xue Gui who were kneeling beside him,

Especially when I saw Xue Guizhong,

Immediately ruthless,

Comfort yourself:

"Now you don't blame me for being alone, I warned you before, but I didn't listen, and now this step of the field, you can only say that you are to blame."

"Warm wait!"

Pei Ji was still kneeling on the ground,

But the upper body is upright,

His eyes looked directly at Lu Bu and said:

"It is not good for the lower officials to govern the place, all the sins are on the lower officials, and please don't involve the Pei family. In addition......"

Pei Ji paused when he said this,

Seeing Lu Bu's gaze,

Those eyes seem to be able to see through everything,

He gritted his teeth and said:

"In addition, in the past few months, Xia Guan has colluded with some local bandits, robbed some caravans in the past, and resold weapons and other contraband, and all the profits obtained went into my personal pocket, and Xia Guan will donate all the stolen money and Xia Guan's personal property, just to wait for Wen Hou to open up the net......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was surprised,

I didn't expect Pei Ji to take the initiative to say these things,

This also means that Pei Ji,

Or his Pei family,

At this moment, this is completely falling to Lu Bu,

After all, this kind of thing,

If he doesn't take the initiative to speak out,

Even if Lu Bu knew in his heart,

But there is no conclusive evidence,

Including the need to take into account the other party's family power,

The general result is also unsuccessful,

However, Pei Ji took the initiative to explain at this moment,

This is to completely show his life to the other party,

In the end, there are only two results,

One was uprooted by Lu Bu,

the other will gain Lu Bu's trust,

Thus taking the family to the next level.

However, Liu Quan and Xue Gui around him also became particularly embarrassed,

Because Pei Ji's move is tantamount to roasting the two families on the fire,

Three families are in the same breath,

Regardless of status or strength,

Probably all think about it,

And the three support each other and rely on each other,

His Pei family can do things like smuggling and reselling contraband,

The other two are innocent?

Fools will not believe such stories either.

What's more, at this moment, Pei Ji took the initiative to confess,

Although the words speak of his personal actions,

But everyone knows that,

This is clearly the family business,

So the Pei family made such a move at this moment,

As loyal allies, how should the Liu family and the Xue family choose?

It is true that the three have reached a consensus before,

But the three families are just willing to assist Lu Bu,

The emperor took turns to do,

Thousands of years of family,

The foundation of the scholars' ability to stand,

That is, not to bet all one's hopes on one person,

However, Pei Ji's move,

But it really fell completely to Lu Bu,

This is the result of previous negotiations with them.

There is a world of difference,

Therefore, after hearing Pei Ji's words,

Of all those present,

The most astonished and even angry people,

It is Liu Quan of the Liu family and Xue Gui of the Xue family.

It's just that now the two of them don't know how to deal with it for the time being.

Quickly weigh the pros and cons in your mind,

Thinking about countermeasures.

Pei Ji then spoke:

"And the lower official has an account book, and during the period of recording all these things, Wen Hou can correspond to them one by one, and if there is any concealment, Ji is willing to accept any punishment!"
