Chapter 212: The Price Range

The murder and grain burning incident in the restaurant, not to mention the Yuan family, even Dong Zhuo's side was confused, and Li Ru, as a strategist, did not find out which force had the courage to do this shocking case after repeated deliberation five times.

"Long Jun competed with Feng Xian in Cao Mansion at noon, and stayed there for dinner at night, although he has the reason and ability to do such a thing, but the place where the incident happened is far away from Long Mansion, I have investigated twice before and after and found no clues left, and his secret forces have been targeted by us for a period of time, and his subordinates suspect that someone is secretly acting to frame this matter on Long Jun's side!"

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo's expression became more solemn, and he slowly walked down the main seat with his fat body, stared at the corpse in the hall, and asked, "Are there any clues that can be found over there?" ”

"Back to the lord's words, he pretended to say that these brothers had fought with each other before they died, so it can be seen that the other party's force is not high!"

Dong Zhuo ignored the guard's words completely, and after sweeping the corpses on the ground, he turned his head and said to Li Ru with compassion, "I don't care if Long Jun did it or not, or who did it, in short, if the court doesn't give me an explanation for this matter, I can't say and can't control my brothers, Wen You, you go and tell Yuan Kui to let him hand over the murderer to me within three days, otherwise the Luoyang chaos will not be responsible!"

"Whoa!"

After Dong Zhuo's attachment, the corners of Li Ru's mouth pulled a sneer, no matter who did it, in fact, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages for the Xiliang Army, according to Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's previous plan, they planned to make a fuss about the grain and grass to contain the Yuan family, and then use the two armies of Dongjun to seek a greater voice above the court to leave part of the Xiliang Army in Luoyang! It's just that the death of the general seriously affects the morale of the Xiliang army, which Dong Zhuo does not want to see.

In the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Kui, who had not slept all night because of this matter, lay on the main seat with his eyes slightly closed and waited for the results of the inquiry, but until Yuan Shao, who was guarding the eight gates, returned, and the Yuan family spies sent out did not bring back any clues.

"How's the state of the court? The Xiliang army still refuses to retreat? What was Dong Zhuo's reaction? ”

Three questions in a row, so that Yuan Shao, who had just sat down to drink water, hurriedly put down the water cup and replied, "The Xiliang army outside the city is quite sensible, and they haven't made any outrageous moves, but it is difficult to let them retreat, in addition, the imperial court has sent a lot of officials from the Imperial Palace, but so far nothing has been found, Dong Zhuo is even more pressuring us, let us hand over the murderer within three days, otherwise the Xiliang army will riot, and they will not control it!"

"Hmph, threaten me with the Xiliang Army riot? Really, when I don't have any hole cards? At the beginning, you went to Zhenbei Hou Mansion, you didn't have to do anything, just bring a little gift, and you should smile when you come out!"

"What? Uncle, will you let me go to Long Jun for help? We're going to give him a treat..."

It's a pity that Yuan Shao's words were not finished, Yuan Kui's cold gaze turned to Yuan Shao, and the words behind Yuan Shao were held back alive, and then Yuan Kui turned his eyes to the door and said helplessly, "At the beginning, the imperial court and the Xiliang army confronted each other, with Long Jun in charge, as well as Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, two fierce generals, plus an army of 80,000, now Long Jun has resigned, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao are doing their own thing, even if there is His Majesty's will, will they really help you?" At this moment, we can only use Long Jun to contain Dong Zhuo in order to attract Dong Zhuo's attention!"

"But once Long Jun stands up, plus His Majesty's support, then how can we contain him? Most of the 80,000 troops in this city are on his side, and sooner or later the power will return to his hands!"

Regarding Yuan Shao's words, Yuan Kui sighed heavily, then stood up and laughed at himself: "I once thought that as long as I controlled the center, it would be equivalent to controlling the power, whether it was military power or political power, but now I realized that I was wrong, in this troubled world, only military power is the foundation of life!" Long Jun chose military power from the beginning, so he was valued by the first emperor, His Majesty and the Queen Mother! Coupled with his art of war, it can be said that he is ahead of all of us, but don't forget that Dong Zhuo is also ahead of everyone! Let them fight each other, maybe we can continue to enjoy the benefits of fishermen!"

As an old fox who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, Yuan Kui can afford to put it down, if he loses, he wins or loses, and only if he survives can he have hope, and now Dong Zhuo has become a trend, and it is not something that they can contain as a civil official, and only Long Jun can stop the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops outside the city in Luoyang City!

"I understand, uncle, I'll go to the Dragon Mansion!"

"Go to the beginning, give up and give only to give up, after going to the Dragon Mansion, you are going to the palace and asking Your Majesty for an official position, our Yuan family can't stay in Luoyang City, but with Long Jun, Dong Zhuo won't do anything to me!"

After Yuan Kui finished speaking, Yuan Shao's face was full of disbelief, and when he heard Yuan Kui's meaning, he wanted to stay in Luoyang alone to face Long Jun and Dong Zhuo, who were about to recover, and then he lost his voice and said, "Uncle, you ....."

"Don't ask too much to do what I told you! Remember to be able to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens to create a foundation that will not be able to create the world!" After waving his hand to drive Yuan Shao away, Yuan Kui turned around and walked towards the inner hall, but this turn made the waist of this known old man of the Mandate of Heaven stiffen a lot! Looking at the direction his uncle left, Yuan Shao had tears in his eyes and walked out of the front hall through gritted teeth.

At the same time, in the study room in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Long Yang was foaming at the mouth and telling Long Jun how Yuan Tan killed the generals of the Xiliang Army in the restaurant.

"Yuan Tan's martial arts are really so superb?"

"Uh... Sort of!" replied to Guo Jia without being salty, Long Yang picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of hot tea, and then grinned with his teeth, "According to the level of military generals, he is enough to serve as the commander of a battalion, but compared to me, it is a lot worse!"

After Long Yang finished speaking, Long Jun glanced at his younger brother, as if he deliberately didn't understand the meaning of the words, and then turned his head to look at Liu Aya and asked, "What is the situation of the shopkeeper of the restaurant and the others?" ”

"Don't worry, when Yuan Tan made a move, I knocked out the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper and hid it! They didn't find anything at all, and after the people from the Tingwei Mansion came to the door, these two people didn't know anything, but the cook in the store disappeared, and I suspect this guy may be hiding!"

After adjusting his sitting posture, Long Jun smiled and asked Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, you said that if one day Yuan Shao knew that it was his son who harmed the Yuan family, would he kill Yuan Tan with his own hands?" ”

"Then the subordinates don't know, but as the saying goes, tiger poison doesn't eat children, no matter how much Yuan Shao doesn't like this eldest son, he probably won't hand him over to Dong Zhuo to deal with, right?"

"Maybe!" Sneered, Long Jun looked straight out of the door, he didn't care what Yuan Tan's result was for him, what he wanted to know was what price the Yuan family would eventually use in exchange for his departure, if the price was not enough, he didn't mind poking this matter out, but he didn't know if the Yuan family could afford the price he wanted at that time!

In this way, this game of chess in Luoyang City was completely played by Long Jun, and the news of Yuan Shao's appearance in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in the afternoon spread far and wide, including the smile on his face when he left, and many high-ranking officials and nobles who had jointly calculated Long Jun with the Yuan family were collectively panicked this time, and many people went to the Yuan Mansion to find Yuan Kui for a reason!

But Yuan Kui knew that he couldn't contact these people at this time, otherwise, according to Long Jun's character, the Yuan family would lose more benefits after the event, and the Yuan family couldn't afford it.

At night, Long Jun was personally sent by Zhao Yun to the palace to meet the emperor and the queen mother He Rou, although he did not see the little emperor and He Rou for some days, but Long Jun never thought that their lives were so hard, and now Liu Xie can't see the appearance of an emperor at all, with heavy dark circles and vain steps, a Liu Hong is alive, He Rou is not much better, the original plump figure has lost a lot of weight, and the frowning brows make people look at it with pity!

"Weichen Town, Beihou Longjun has seen Your Majesty, and has seen the Queen Mother!"

"Master Hou doesn't have to be polite, get up quickly!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After some politeness, Liu Xie saw that Long Jun was still not separated from them as before, so he said apologetically, "When Dong Zhuo entered the court, the widow originally entrusted this matter to the Hou Ye to deal with, but Lone didn't expect that this gang of rebels still had such energy, Qiao Mao and Wang Kuang have become their people, and there are also many servants in the palace who secretly take refuge, and some people in the Xiyuan army have taken the opportunity to frame you for usurping the throne, in order to try to calm these people, the widow has to allow you to resign and return home!"

"Your Majesty, why is this? Chenben is a martial artist, what can he do if he is wronged? It frightened His Majesty and the Queen Mother!"

"It's fine... No problem! As long as Master Hou is still willing to contribute to my Liu family, what can our mother and son do even if they suffer some grievances? Is it more aggrieved than the people in Luoyang City? ”

I have to say that He Rou has been immersed in the palace battle for all these years, and he knows very well what to say and what not to say, instead of wasting his tongue with Long Jun to apologize and put himself in a disadvantageous position, it is better to go straight to the point with a single knife, and when the time comes, Long Jun is asking for more benefits!

Glancing at He Rou meaningfully, Long Jun was full of emotion in his heart, although He Rou was a changeable person in the past, he had never been so eager for quick success! Afraid of giving more? Long Jun shook his head and sneered, for him, no interests are important now, Dong Zhuo has become a trend, even he has no way to check and balance, and even from the beginning he had the intention of leaving Luoyang.

"For Your Majesty, for the Great Han Chen, I am willing to smear my liver and brain!"

Stabilize the emperor first, as for the other Long Jun plans to take a look at the situation, if it is really unsatisfactory and there is no way to dig out any benefits, then he can only scream!
