In the courtyard of the house in Chang'an City, the gloomy old man asked his nephew: "Zhang Liao is investigating Dong Huang?" ”

"Exactly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The young man said admiringly: "Uncle is clever. ”

The old man shook his head and sighed: "At the beginning, it was just just in case, but I didn't expect to use it, this Zhang Liao is really lucky, and now he has become a lieutenant of Si Li, and even the old man is under his supervision, but, hey, I am afraid he didn't expect that those assassins never thought that they were Dong Huang's people, and that main messenger was even introduced into Dong Huang's disciples, and look at how this Zhang Liao dealt with Dong Huang, step by step with Dong Zhuo to break with him." ”

The young man said: "Dong Zhuo seems to be disgusted with Dong Huang now, maybe he won't ......."

The old man snorted: "No matter what, Dong Huang is Dong Zhuo's nephew after all, Dong Zhuo doesn't like him, but if anyone touches him, it will be a violation of Dong Zhuo's majesty, how can Dong Zhuo care?" Dong Zhuo is moody now, and if he angers him, I am afraid that it will be a disaster in an instant. ”

……

The wind is howling, the wind and snow are all over the sky, but there are two figures coming and going in the martial arts field in the back garden of a house in Beique Jiadi, a long knife and a Fang Tian painting halberd in the wind and snow, and the sonorous sound is endless.

On one side, a jug of wine was warm, and a woman and a girl were watching the fight on the martial arts field.

"Mother, Uncle Zhang is so powerful, he can fight on par with his father."

The girl is about eleven years old, but she is quite tall, with a broad forehead, straight eyebrows, bright eyes, and a bit of a boy's heroic spirit, which is Lu Bu's only daughter Lu Lingqi.

The woman next to her was Lu Bu's wife, Yan, who glanced at her daughter and said, "Daughter's family, don't learn from your father to fight and kill, how can you marry in the future?" ”

Lu Lingqi said seriously: "I want to gallop like my father in the future!" ”

Yan was about to reprimand her, when a voice laughed and said, "Good daughter, good job!" ”

But Lu Bu had already finished the competition with Zhang Liao, and the two were walking back to the pavilion, and Lu Bu was quite happy when he heard what his daughter said.

Zhang Liao looked at Lu Lingqi and nodded secretly, Lu Bu's daughter really passed on his heroic appearance, he may not be able to go to the battlefield in the future, but when a woman goes to the battlefield, Zhang Liao also disagrees.

He didn't have any prejudices, firstly, he felt that women were born with weak strength and relatively gentle personalities, and they were not suitable for the battlefield, and secondly, once a woman was captured on the battlefield and fell into the hands of those soldiers, the end would be extremely miserable, almost worse than death.

The two shook the snow off their bodies, put aside their weapons, and entered the pavilion, Yan poured wine for the two, Lu Bu drank it all, looked at Zhang Liao, and sighed: "Wen Yuan, I really didn't expect that you were walking in front of your brother, and now you are the captain of the division, and you have disposed of dozens of officials and heroes in the past two months. ”

Zhang Liao smiled: "What do you say about the captain of Si Li, it's just doing something to offend people, but it's not as good as Brother Feng Xian's leisure." ”

Lu Bu sighed: "For my brother, I always want to gallop across the field, under the command of the Taishi, I am aggrieved, and the Taishi is not the same as before, two days ago, just because of a person who spoke inappropriately, the Taishi threw the halberd in his hand to the brother on the spot, if it weren't for the brother's dexterity, I was afraid that he would be injured, what to say about the father-in-law and the son, it was really a little chilling." ”

Zhang Liao frowned and didn't speak, Dong Zhuo's changes are getting bigger and bigger, step by step towards depravity and madness, and even he is often reprimanded.

"Hasn't the song and dance shop murder been investigated yet? Is it Dong Huang? Seeing that Zhang Liao was silent, Lu Bu immediately changed the subject.

Zhang Liao frowned and said, "I don't think so, but all the evidence points to him." ”

It's been two months since he took up the post of lieutenant of Si Li, but the progress of the song and dance workshop bloody case is a headache, and the man behind the scenes seems to have no action.

Lu Bu shook his head and said: "The last time you brought someone into Dong Huang's mansion to investigate, it made the Taishi very displeased, I heard that I wanted to dismiss your lieutenant at that time, but I was dissuaded by Li Wenyou. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but look at Zhang Liao with envy, and said: "The relationship between you and Li Wenyou is really enviable, he doesn't know how many disasters he has prevented for you, and his words are still very useful to Taishi." Can it be passed on as a brother, if the brother has a relationship with those scribes, maybe the situation will be much better. ”

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said: "One is sincere, the second is opinion, and the third is cheeky." ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "What a cheeky stalker, but Wen Yuan really has this kung fu." ”

Zhang Liao smiled and did not speak. Lu Bu only saw the stalking, but he didn't hear him put sincerity first, followed by opinions, and the last one was cheeky stalking.

Like Lu Bu, his solipsistic heart is too strong, his utilitarian heart is also strong, and he once betrayed Ding Yuan, so it is difficult to give people a sincere feeling, and those scribes think of capriciousness when they see him, and it is difficult to associate with him.

This is the result of not taking a good step at the beginning, although Ding Yuan is not very good, but he is not bad for Lu Bu, and he is not at fault, Lu Bu betrayed it, but it was too much to kill, which will inevitably attract criticism.

In this era, reputation is especially important, it is related to the recognition of many talents, and Zhang Liao is more and more aware of the importance of this.

In the two months that he served as the lieutenant of the school, although there was no progress in the bloody case, he did a lot to eliminate the officials and punish the bullies, and dealt with many officials who violated the law.

It's really a big forest, there are all kinds of birds, even Wang Yun's cronies have a few illegal ones, and they were dealt with by Zhang Liao, and Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou subordinates, he killed several under Dong Zhuo's scolding, although he displeased Dong Zhuo several times, but he was not afraid of power and acted fairly, but many courtiers and people in Guanzhong were admired.

In addition, he disposed of a few inactive officials, and the atmosphere of the Guanzhong court changed greatly under his thunderous rectification, especially the raid of a few hoarders of grain merchants, the disposal of a few officials who colluded with them, and the slight reduction of grain prices under inflation, which made the people praise.

The talents he recruited identified with him even more!

It's just that as Lu Bu said, he did anger Dong Zhuo in the matter of Dong Huang, Dong Zhuo was in Yiwu at the time, and he was summoned by an order and reprimanded, as well as Dong Zhuo's mother Chi Yangjun and younger brother Dong Min, all of whom stood up for Dong Huang.

Chi Yangjun is okay, after all, he has seen Zhang Liao, and his great-granddaughter's dumb illness was also cured by Zhang Liao, and the old man just cried at Zhang Liao and asked his subordinates to be merciful.

As for Dong Min, he scolded Zhang Liao fiercely with an arrogant appearance, and asked him, an eagle dog, to keep the rules of respect and humility, if this person was not Dong Zhuo's younger brother, if he wasn't in Yiwu at the time, Zhang Liao would have knocked him down with one punch.

But since then, he has understood that Dong Zhuo may really not want to see Dong Huang anymore, and he can turn a blind eye, but with Chi Yangjun and General Zuo Dong Min supporting Dong Huang behind his back, Dong Zhuo had to reprimand him.

It's just that the Son of Heaven and Wang Bin are very tight when they are urging the bloody case, and he is also very vigilant about the mastermind behind the scenes, but he is afraid that his next plan will be even more terrifying, so he has been tightening his heartstrings.

It was dusk when Zhang Liao left Lu Bu's mansion, and when he returned to the mansion, Shi A, Zuo Ci and Gu Caiying were all there, and they had been secretly visiting these days, and even the shadows had entered Guanzhong in a big way, infiltrating various counties and counties, but they still couldn't catch the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Boy, could it be that this bloody case is a coincidence, not against you, but just because you happened to be there?" Zuo Ci asked lazily, this old way is also tired these days.

Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "There are rumors that Wang Ding identified me, but Wang Ding denied this, obviously the mastermind behind the scenes is aimed at me." ”

Zuo Ci snorted: "That Dong Huang is not a murderer, Lao Dao has been secretly squatting in his mansion for a few days, he has been angrily scolding your kid and the person who calculated him, and he was obviously wronged." ”

Zhang Liao nodded, which was also the reason why he did not continue to insist on arresting Dong Huang.

Zuo Ci said again: "You kid has too many enemies, but who else hasn't remembered?" ”

Zhang Liao frowned: "Anyone in Guanzhong who has some strength and influence, I have checked it once, and there are no other enemies." ”

Zuo Ci snorted: "Maybe you don't know, it's your subordinates...... For example, Ah Heng, this kid, once helped you assassinate the enemy, right? ”

Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "I have always acted uprightly, how can I ever assassinate me." ”

Shi A, who didn't want to be on the side, didn't give him face, and said, "Lord, it's once." ”

The corners of Gu Caiying's mouth twitched slightly, Zuo Ci pouted at Zhang Liao with disdain, Zhang Liao was a little stunned, and said a little embarrassed: "Which one?" Why can't I remember? ”

Shi Ah Dao: "When the lord left Xiaopingjin and rushed to the Tiger Prison, he asked the servant to assassinate the bully county commander of Pingxian County. ”

"Pingxian County Order?!" Zhang Liao's heart moved, and he remembered that there was indeed such a thing, but he had experienced too much in the past two years, and he had long forgotten this passer-by A, and this passer-by A was indeed a lackey sent by Dong Huang at the beginning.

At this time, Zuo Ci said on the side: "There is such a thing, the Naping County Commander sent people to watch outside the children's home three times and twice, and the old Tao taught them a lesson, and told you the kid, and I felt your kid's murderous intention at that time." ”

"What's his name?" Zhang Liao's eyes became sharp, and he seemed to have caught something in his mind for a while.

Shi Adao: "It seems to be surnamed Ding, but I don't know the name." ”

"Ding...... Fourth...... Supervise...... Dong ...... "Zhang Liao's mind was fast thinking about the Ding person in Chang'an.

He is now a lieutenant of the division and supervises hundreds of officials, so he naturally has some basic understanding of the officials in the court.

Soon, he screened out two people.

One is Ding Chong, a native of Peiguo, who is now a waiter at the Yellow Gate, a Lang official who is in charge of the palace gate, and a minister of the emperor's close attendants, who can convey edicts.

The other person is Ding Gong, the third prince Cao Shangshu, who has served as Jiaozhou Assassin Shi, Guangluxun, Sikong, Situ, Shangshu, when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, so he had the same surname as Ding Yuan, and he was quite disgusted with him, so he was relieved of his position as Situ and appointed Shangshu.

However, when Dong Zhuo was abolished, the ministers were silent, but this person was the first to echo Dong Zhuo's abolition of the Son of Heaven, thus retaining his authority.

And this Ding Gong is also a native of Peiguo, the same clan as Ding Chong, and Cao Cao's hometown.

"Ding Palace...... Ding Gong ......"

Zhang Liao's expression was sharp, and he looked at Shi A: "Ah Heng, you will sneak to the Ding Palace Mansion to investigate in the past few days, and I will let the Xun Duguan investigate to see if this Ding Palace has anything to do with the Nading County Order." ”
