If the blank paper is gone, it is equivalent to losing the bargaining chips for changing horses, which is a very tricky thing for Lu Bu.

But in retrospect, isn't this an opportunity to provoke the opponent, and if the enemy finds out that the blank paper is broken, won't he be immediately furious? The anger value of the system, still not rolling in?

Thinking of this, Lu Bu was no longer worried.

Twenty miles to the north, stationed in Xuancheng.

Xuancheng is a small city, belonging to the country of Linlang, close to Qingzhou, under the jurisdiction of Jinan, and facing the Yangtze River. Due to the perennial war, the roads are potholes, the city walls are dilapidated, and even the suspension bridge is missing several wooden planks.

After entering Xuancheng, Lu Bu called Shen Sheng, the commander of Xuancheng County, and Du Zang, the county governor.

"Look at the lobby of your county government, not to mention the old furniture, and the roof is still leaking rain..." Lu Bu was very unhappy to count the two of them down, and when he turned around, he was shocked to find that the two of them were actually wearing patch clothes.

"Are you mistaken, what are you pretending to be pitiful? Do you want to tell me how honest and honest you are in Xuancheng County? No matter how honest and honest you are, you won't even be able to afford to wear clothes, right? ”

Shen Sheng, the county magistrate, is a very handsome young man, and he looks shrewd and capable, but his expression at this time is very inconsistent with his own temperament.

He wiped the couch with his sleeve, waved his hand and said, "Lord, please take a seat." ”

Du Zang, the county lieutenant, was dressed in a military uniform and stood in the distance with a blank face.

Lu Bu sat slowly and looked at the two of them. He had a feeling that this Xuancheng County was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"My lord, I have taken the position of the county commander of Xuancheng County, and I never dare to slack off, and the things explained above have been completed as scheduled, but..." Shen Sheng was halfway through his words, and his face was full of grievances.

Lu Bu said impatiently: "It's really not tired of singing, my back hurts when I watch the play, what nonsense do you have to say quickly." ”

"Forget it, I don't need you to say it. Du Zang, you say. Are you really so poor in Xuancheng County? The poor can't even repair the roof, and even the county order and county lieutenant have to wear patch uniforms? You're a veteran who has followed me for years, and I'm sure you won't lie to me. ”

Du Zang took two steps forward and arched his hand: "Lord Mingjian, just because there is a force in Xuancheng that extorts the government and robs property. I Xuancheng County was defeated by the county soldiers, so I had to... I had to compromise on everything. ”

In the end, Du Zang was also very aggrieved and helpless.

"Forces? What forces? Is it a family? Lu Bu asked.

"It's not. It is a family surnamed Zhao, who has considerable financial resources, and there are more than 300 private soldiers in the house, all of whom are good hands. Du Zang replied.

"It's so lawless, even the government dares to blackmail." Lu Bu glanced at Du Zang and reprimanded, "Why didn't you report it?" Let the lieutenant of Linlang send troops here. ”

"The last general also wants to report, but the news can't be delivered."

"What a fool!"

Lu Bu circled around the county government and said: "A small Zhao family, not even a family, suppressed the dignified Xuancheng official mansion to death, and couldn't even pass on the news, then this Xuancheng County, wouldn't it become the world of the Zhao family?" I thought I'd eat when I went to the city, but seeing that you're all mixed up like this, what else will I eat? ”

Lu Bu glanced at Du Zang and said, "Why don't you hurry up and show me the way?" You are afraid of the Zhao family, I am not afraid, I have to go and see what is so great about him. ”

Du Zang's face was full of excitement, and he responded: "No." ”

"If the lord makes a move, it will be the day the Zhao family will perish." Shen Sheng also said.

Lu Bu was very angry in his heart, he wiped out the family, and the entire Xuzhou was turned upside down, but he didn't expect that there would still be troublemakers, and he dared to rob the official mansion, is there still a royal law?

In the evening, Lu Bu and Li Yuanba led a team of dragon guards, under the guidance of Shen Sheng and Du Zang, to the Zhao Mansion.

Walking on the streets, the people were afraid to avoid it, and closed the doors and windows tightly.

Lu Bu took a look and called Shen Sheng to him: "This is the people under your rule?" When they saw the officers and soldiers coming, not only did they not welcome them, but they also looked afraid, what were they afraid of? Are you afraid that I will kill them? ”

"Back to the lord, the people have been through many wars, and they may have palpitations."

"Feeling palpitated? Then why don't the people of Picheng have lingering palpitations? How many wars have you experienced in Xuancheng County to make the people afraid of this? ”

"This..." Shen Sheng had nothing to say.

Soon, Lu Bu and his entourage came to Zhao's mansion.

Lu Bu walked over angrily, stepped forward and kicked the vermilion gate open.

"Rush in and arrest all men and women!" Lu Bu burst into a shout, and hundreds of dragon guards rushed into the courtyard and arrested anyone when they saw it. Three hundred private soldiers rushed out in an attempt to stop the Dragon Guard, but as soon as they met, they were killed cleanly.

At this time, an angry young man ran out and yelled at Shen Sheng, "Lord Shen, why did you forcibly break into my mansion? And the one who killed me? ”

He glanced at Li Yuanba, who was carrying the drum urn and the golden hammer, and subconsciously dodged to the side.

Shen Sheng may still be afraid, so he didn't reply to the young man's words.

Lu Bu was angry when he saw it, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled the young man to him: "You are blind, tell me." ”

"Tell you? What are you? ”

"Tell him who I am." Lu Bu glanced at Du Zang.

Du Zang said proudly: "This is the history of Xuzhou Thorn, General Lu!" Zhao family child, quickly call your father out, kowtow to my lord, maybe my lord is happy, and he can spare his dog's life. ”

"Who said I'm going to spare his dog's life?" Lu Bu glared at Du Zang: "Dare to extort the government and rob the wealth of the government, it is really an unforgivable crime, and none of the Zhao family can live." ”

"Yes, a humble." Du Zang was even more pleased. It's been a long time since he's been so proud.

Zhao Zhi slowly raised his head, and when he saw Lu Bu's majestic and angry expression, he was so frightened that his legs and feet weakened, and he knelt on the ground: "General Lu spares his life." ”

The dragon guards arrested everyone and threw them in the courtyard, including Zhao Zhi's father.

Lu Bu ordered that all but Zhao Zhi be killed!

As for why Zhao Zhi was left, it was because Lu Bu felt that a small Zhao family, if there was no one behind him to support him, would definitely not dare to do so. He must leave Zhao Zhi behind, so that he can follow the vine.

In the lobby, Zhao Zhi knelt at the door. Lu Bu and Li Yuanba tried the case while eating.

"Zhao Zhi, I'll give you a chance to live now, you just need to tell me who is making waves behind it, and I will spare you." Lu Bu said in a calm tone.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhao Zhi inadvertently glanced at Shen Sheng, who was standing behind Lu Bu.

Lu Bu put down the dishes and chopsticks and swept his gaze to Shen Sheng, Shen Sheng immediately stepped back in fright, and said solemnly: "Lord, Zhao Zhi is a mad dog, he bites people indiscriminately, and he is loyal to the lord." ”

Lu Bu ignored Shen Sheng and said to Zhao Zhi, "You continue." ”

"Yes."

Next, Zhao Zhi explained everything to him.

"In September last year, Shen County Ling found my father and asked my father to disguise himself as a thief and rob the granary of the government, and then helped us recruit private soldiers and pretend to extort the government, but in fact, more than half of the money went into his pocket..."

After Zhao Zhi finished speaking, Du Zang was suddenly furious, drew his sword and shouted angrily: "It turned out that you were a dog thief, I had to kill you!" ”
