"Kill, kill Dong Zhuo, the official will be promoted to three levels, and the reward will be ten thousand taels!" Sun Jian took the lead in chasing Dong Zhuo, who was fleeing in front.

Why Dong Zhuo was hunted down, in fact, this is the case, at first Dong Zhuo ordered Li Ru to go to collect the people's money, the people who have no money either the woman in the family was killed by Jianyin or the old man, if you can't get a trace of food, the whole family will be slaughtered, the people of Luoyang have no choice but to resist, at first there were some people who led the team to rebel against Dong Zhuo, but they were all bloodily suppressed by Li Ru, the people saw that the leaders were killed, and they did not dare to rebel again, all the mortgages were exchanged for money and handed over to Dong Zhuo to avoid disaster, and if he really had nothing to mortgage, he had to sell his wife or children to make up, which made the people's resentment boil for a while.

And those in the city can't help it, Dong Zhuo basically took out their old capital.

Yang Biao, the captain of the city, was hiding at home with Yang Xiu at that time.

Li Ru knocked on the door with the soldiers and said, "Is Lord Yang at home?" ”

Yang Xiu said to Yang Biao in the house: "Father, Li Ru's house is here." ”

Yang Biao hurriedly told Yang Xiu not to come out, and waited in the house, Yang Biao told Yang Xiu not to talk much, now Luoyang is too chaotic, and he has not interfered in anything in the court, so it is safe for the time being, so don't cause more trouble.

Then Yang Biao went to open the door.

Yang Biao said to Li Ru at the door: "Oh, how can Lord Li have time to come to my house today." Yang Biao was sloppy.

"Lord Yang said with a smile, now the anti-thief alliance vows to come in before he will give up, my lord is afraid that the anti-thieves will infiltrate the assassins to harm the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, so I specially let the Confucian come to see the safety of your adults, I will leave when I see that Lord Yang is fine." After speaking, Li Ru turned around and left.

Yang Biao said in the back: "Then thank the Minister for your kindness for me, Yang will not send Master Li." After speaking, he quickly closed the door.

When Yang Xiu returned to the house, he asked Yang Biao what was going on, and Yang Biao told Yang Xiu that it was estimated that Dong Zhuo's family was ready to run away, and he took this opportunity to clean up those who were working against him, under the guise of catching assassins.

And the Han Sikong Shen Qiu, because he had defended the young emperor Liu Wei in the court, Dong Zhuo was resentful, so he ordered Li Ru to go and raid Shen Qiu's house, and the whole family of more than 100 people was beheaded, including Shen Congwen, who was recognized by Shen Qiu's son Xu Shuo.

For this matter, Yang Xiu was sad in private for a while.

And Situ Wang Yun escaped this catastrophe, because when Dong Zhuo was there, he and Yang Biao did not ask about anything in the court, so that Dong Zhuo had no disagreement with him, and he was wise and safe.

The big clan at the bottom had no choice, the third prince was killed by Dong Zhuo, and the other two didn't come out to preside over the overall situation, and the big clan could only say that the family wealth was wiped out by Dong Zhuo.

At night, the big clans who had been looted most of their wealth quietly hid in their houses to discuss countermeasures.

"Master Zhang, what do you say we should do, this Dong Zhuo is afraid that he is ready to abandon Luoyang and run away, it doesn't matter if he runs, why do you want to search for money and property in the city, it's okay to loot, but you can't be so cheeky, I and other families have been looted There is no money and food left, and even the money I hid in the underground secret room was collected by Dong Zhuo's brother-in-law Li Ru, this still makes me wait for how to live, this is not to give me a way to live." The surname Liang is the head of the family.

"That's right, Master Zhang, our families are almost the same as Brother Liang's family, and they don't leave me at all, doesn't this cut off my way of living." One of the heads of the family is attached to the head of the family surnamed Liang.

"That's it, this old man Dong Zhuo is really too deceitful." The rest of the heads of the families answered one after another.

It turned out that the head of the family surnamed Zhang was called Zhang Hou, because his father Zhang Huan was a celebrity around the first emperor, so the first emperor took care of Zhang Huan's family very much, slowly, the Zhang family was a second-rate family in Luoyang, because one person got the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, the industry became bigger and bigger, and vaguely became the first big family in Luoyang.

"Everyone, please be calm." Zhang Houdao.

"Brother Zhang, this is all burning eyebrows, how can you settle down?"

"Yes, yes!"

Zhang Hou was helpless and said: "You wait to calm down first, if you are so impetuous, how can it be a big deal?" ”

When everyone heard this, they fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Zhang Hou nodded, and said: "I know that you have grievances in your hearts, he Dong Zhuo is waiting for a way to live, and I was also robbed of most of my family wealth by Dong Zhuo, and now the alliance army has fought outside the city, do you say that I will wait for Dong Zhuo to quietly open the city and surrender one step ahead, the captain of the city gate is my son-in-law, if you have this heart, it is better to open the city and surrender tomorrow night?" ”

"It's okay to surrender in Kaesong, but Dong Zhuo hasn't left yet, in case the matter is revealed, I guess we will all have to exterminate the clan, let me go back and discuss it at this time."

"Yes, yes, we need to go back and discuss it." Everyone answered.

Zhang Hou smiled and sighed, indecisive and not allowed to conspire.

Zhang Hou turned his head to look at the head of the Liang family and said, "Brother Liang, don't leave until later, I have something to say to you." ”

The head of the family surnamed Liang nodded when he heard this.

After the disbandment, Zhang Hou pulled the head of the family surnamed Liang into his study and said: "Brother Liang, do you dare to plan a big thing with me, if this matter is successful, when the allies come to our family, they can turn over in their original status, if not, it is very likely to be punished by the Nine Clans, Brother Liang is willing to fight with me?" ”

"What's the matter, Brother Xian can say bluntly, my Liang family has been cornered by Dong Zhuo, if it continues like this, it will be death anyway, what are my Liang family afraid of." The surname Liang is the head of the family.

"Okay, I'll talk to Brother Liang."

Later, Zhang Hou told the head of the family surnamed Liang about the method of assassinating Dong Zhuo and taking Dong Zhuo's head to the allied army to receive merit, and even told the head of the family surnamed Liang about the escape route and plan.

"Okay, you're a waiter, you've been plotting for a long time, why didn't you propose it in front of everyone just now," the head of the family surnamed Liang asked.

Zhang Hou shook his head when he heard this, and said: "This kind of big thing can't be mentioned in the eyes of others, if it weren't for Brother Liang and me, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to tell Brother Liang, after all, this is a big thing, if you are not careful, it will affect the whole family, I don't dare to take risks, one less person knows, one less risk, what does Brother Liang think?" ”

"This plan is feasible, but who do you send to assassinate Dong Zhuo, do you know that Dong Zhuo is tightly guarded on the three outer floors of the palace, and even a fly can't fly in on weekdays, how can you let people in?" The head of the family surnamed Liang asked.

"This doesn't bother Brother Liang, my brother has his own way, is my brother willing to work with my brother to conspire with him?"

"Brother can't ask for it!"

"Hahahaha, that's good, tomorrow brother will go to say hello to my son-in-law, tomorrow night I will send someone to assassinate Dong Zhuo, brother will leave tonight, first send the family out of the city, I will also send the family out of the city first, even if I am caught red-handed, I can protect the family without worry."

After speaking, the head of the family surnamed Liang hurriedly left and went home to transfer his family.

Seeing that the head of the family surnamed Liang had left, Zhang Hou gritted his teeth with a hideous face and said: "Dong Zhuo, old man, you took my wife, killed my wife, and lost your life to you, and also collected my money, I will let you pay back this hatred." ”

"Someone!"

The door opened quietly, and a person came in like a shadow, knelt in front of Zhang Hou and said, "Here!" ”

"You and bring my letter to Captain Jiang at the city gate, and tell him that if Brother Liang's family is released out of the city, tell him to take care of Bing'er, let him open the city gate the day after tomorrow, and leave Luoyang, the land of right and wrong, if I succeed, I will call him back, if he fails, let him ask for more blessings, don't lose my daughter."

"Yes, Master!"

When the shadow man was about to get up and leave, Zhang Hou immediately stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, you will help me do something tomorrow night." ”

It turns out that this shadow man is an orphan who was adopted by Zhang Hou since he was a child, because he likes the dark since he was a child, so Zhang Hou did not take him as a parent, but a chess piece, when he was young, he liked to learn martial arts Zhang Hou invited a lot of martial artists to teach him, he used the martial arts he learned to defeat all the generals who taught him, because he always likes to sneak attack, so the generals do not like him, and no one will visit him after teaching, and he only trusts his adoptive father Zhang Hou in the Zhang family, and only listens to him alone, so Zhang Hou tells him to do whatever he wants.

"What?" The Shadow Man asked.

"Sneak into the palace tomorrow night and assassinate Dong Zhuo." Zhang Hou said with his back to him.

"Yes!" The shadow man didn't ask why, but agreed, and then left the house in the direction of the city gate.

Zhang Hou muttered, "I hope everything goes well tomorrow!" Then I went back to my room to rest.
