Chapter 223 Book Burning Pit Wine

"Don't!! It's not like I haven't asked for food, nothing to be afraid of!! ”

After Xiao Lulan shouted this, she knelt down in front of Lu Ren. And as soon as Lu Lan knelt like this, Lu Cheng and Lu Xin also knelt down to Lu Ren. Looking at Lu Lan at this time, she was almost about to cry, and said to Lu Ren with red eyes: "My lord, Xiaolan has had no parents since she was a child, and when she was about to starve to death, it was the adults and Sister Wan'er who saved Xiaolan, and then not only took Xiaolan in, but also taught Xiaolan to read and write, and never regarded Xiaolan as a subordinate." Xiaolan doesn't read much, but Xiaolan is by no means an ungrateful person......"

"Okay, okay......" Lu Ren was a little choked in his throat when Lu Lan came, and he hurriedly stopped Lu Lan and said: "Don't be like this, you little kids, get up!" ”

Xiao Lulan was unusually stubborn: "No! If the adults insist on driving Xiaolan away, Xiaolan would rather kneel for a long time! ”

"......" Lu Ren was speechless for a long time before he said: "Okay, I won't drive you away, but don't make trouble for me either." Listen, I don't have an official position now, and I must be looking for another way out, but it's too inconvenient to have you by my side at this time. You go to Aunt Ding's place first, and then I'll pick you up when I settle down, understand? ”

Lu Lan still wanted to argue for a few words, but Wan'er held down Lu Lan in time, and at the same time shook her head gently at Lu Lan, and Lu Lan pouted and didn't speak again. But at this time, Lu Cheng opened his mouth: "Boss, why don't we go to Zhongshan?" ”

Lu Ren was stunned: "Zhongshan? What to do in Zhongshan? ”

Lu Cheng lowered his head, and after fighting in his heart, he said, "Didn't the Zhen family want to go back to me?" Then I'll just go back. After I go back, no matter what, I will let you and Sister Wan'er settle down, Boss. ”

“…… Think about things that don't matter! Get up, if you don't get up again, I'll turn my face! ”

The little boys glanced at each other, and then reluctantly stood up. Lu Ren touched their little heads one by one, and said with a smile: "You boss and I are not so bad, although the official is lost, but if you just want to eat with a mouthful of food, it is not a difficult matter, so don't make a fuss." Anyway, you go to Aunt Ding's tomorrow first, and the rest depends on the situation. ”

The little kid glanced at each other again, but could only nod to Lu Ren.

Lu Ren waved his hand at this time: "No matter what happens after tomorrow, at least this place is still mine today." Wan'er, Xiaolan, you go get more delicious food. Ah Cheng, Ah Xin, you go and help me boil water, I want to take a comfortable bath. ”

Several people answered, and they all went about their own business. And what about Lu Ren? After everyone left, I looked up at the sky, and I had some indescribable feelings in my heart. After a long time, Lu Ren suddenly whispered to himself: "'Rather teach me to bear people, stop teaching people to bear me', or vice versa, 'Rather teach people to bear me, stop teaching me to bear people'?" Next Olympics! Although I am not a good person, I am not so great, Lao Tzu is an ordinary sling! After being stabbed like this for no reason, then you don't expect anything from me! ”

After making up his mind, Lu Ren hurried to the study and began to throw many of the slips in the study into the open space in the courtyard. However, in the past few years, Lu Ren has had quite a lot of Jane Chun and patterns in the study, and there must be at least thousands of volumes in a hasty calculation, so when Lu Ren hasn't thrown them all out, Wan'er's food and honesty have been completed. Lu Ren stopped first, ate first and then bathed, and talked about the rest tomorrow.

————————————————————

The next day, the palace was discussed. After Cao Cao reported the upcoming expedition to Emperor Liu Xie, his eyes turned to Cao Hong. Cao Hong understood what Cao Cao meant, even if he was unwilling, he had to stand up and talk about Lu Ren's "crime" and dismissal, and at the same time "requested" Emperor Liu Xie and Cao Cao to confiscate Lu Ren's family property according to the law.

In fact, according to the situation at that time, if Cao Cao wanted to dispose of any official, he would just do it directly, and then decide whether to report to Emperor Liu Xie according to the grade of the official being disposed of, of course, it was limited to Cao Cao's sphere of influence. For example, Cao Cao once made a move against Yang Biao not long after welcoming Emperor Liu Xie, and at that time he directly locked up Yang Biao, and Emperor Liu Xie only got the news after Yang Biao was imprisoned.

And Lu Ren's grade is just a county order, and if Cao Cao really wants to move him, he doesn't need to report it to Emperor Liu Xie. But on the other hand, Xu Duling's position is quite special after all, at least people in this official position can also go to the court to discuss politics, so there is nothing wrong with reporting to Emperor Liu Xie, and there will be no feeling that he is deliberately acting to show people.

In addition, Cao Cao's letting Cao Hong come to the ceremony was not a momentary anger. At yesterday's meeting, many people had already found out that Cao Hong meant to communiqué personal vendettas, and it would be more convincing for him to poke things out.

All in all, after Cao Hong finished speaking, there was immediately some discussion in the court, and then many people with different thoughts stood up to second. But at this time, to everyone's surprise, Emperor Liu Xie, who had never been very in charge of things, waved his hand to stop the noise in the court, and then stood up, and said with a questioning face: "Lu Qing is greedy for ink? Impossible, right? I also have a bit of a personal relationship with Lu Qing, and I can see that Lu Qing is not the kind of person who is greedy for money! ”

Everyone was suffocated, and some people even said that it was bad, yesterday they only cared about Lu Ren, but they forgot that Lu Ren often went into the palace to play basketball with Emperor Liu Xie.

Emperor Liu Xie turned his head to Cao Cao at this time: "Cao Aiqing, what is going on?" Lu Qing has been following Cao Aiqing for several years, I am still young, and I can see that Lu Qing is not a person who can do things that are greedy for ink, doesn't Cao Aiqing know what Lu Qing is like? Is there something wrong with this? Or is someone deliberately framing Lu Qing? ”

Cao Cao was also stunned for a moment before he understood. In addition to secretly happy in my heart, there is also a hint of unhappiness. However, the matter is important now, and Emperor Liu Xie expressed such a state, which is also undesirable for Cao Cao, so he immediately responded to Emperor Liu Xie: "If you really talk about it, the minister is also a little at fault." That's the case, last year, Lu Ren's old people came to Xudu to defect to Lu Ren, because something happened, and the minister promised Lu Ren's old people that they could be exempted from taxes when they did business around Xudu. Later, these old people of Lu Ren saw that Xu Du was expensive, so they trafficked a batch of iron goods into Xu, and Lu Ren regarded the iron goods as ordinary commercial goods without knowing for a while, and exempted this tax together, so he aroused the suspicion of greedy ink. ”

Emperor Liu Xiedao: "So that's the case? Lu Qing is an unintentional mistake, coupled with his long-term hard work and achievements, reprimanding him to make himself vigilant, and then punish him slightly, there is no need to dismiss him and depose him, right? ”

As soon as these few words came out, some people immediately jumped out and said things such as "the law of the country cannot be abolished" or "Lu Ren is clearly quibbling in an attempt to exonerate himself". Although Cao Cao was a little surprised by Emperor Liu's intercession with Lu Ren, his reaction to those court officials was already prepared, and Cao Cao always wanted to strictly enforce the law and discipline and rule the country by law, and he didn't want to slap himself in the face just for Lu Ren's little thing in principle, so he persuaded Emperor Liu Xie to act according to law. In addition to removing Lu Ren's official position, Lu Ren's family property should be confiscated from the official position.

Emperor Liu Xie himself can't be the master, and after being said by everyone like this, there is nothing to do. However, after deciding to raid Lu Ren's house, Emperor Liu Xie did something that surprised everyone, that is, he waved his hand again and ordered: "Driving Lu Qing's house, I also want to see if Lu Qing's home is as luxurious and beautiful as Zhu Qing said. If this is the case, you should be severely punished! ”

Cao Cao couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he originally wanted to stop Emperor Liu Xie, but at a glance, he found that Xun Yu was nodding secretly to himself, and Cao Cao immediately understood. Isn't this trying to correct Lu Ren's name? And at this time, who can say more weight and convincing than the words spoken by Emperor Liu Xie? Therefore, after pretending to persuade Emperor Liu Xie a few words, he followed Emperor Liu Xie's intention and prepared to copy Lu Ren's house. And to be honest, Cao Cao was also happy to sell face to Emperor Liu Xie at this time.

In this way, a large number of people surrounded Emperor Liu Xie and went to Lu Ren's mansion. In the distance, everyone saw bursts of smoke in Lu Ren's mansion, and someone exclaimed: "This smoke ...... Is there a fire in Lu Ren's mansion? ”

Everyone was startled when this shout was made, and immediately someone rushed into Lu Ren's mansion in front of him. At this time, the people of Lu Ren's mansion Zhongmi's and Xun's clans had already left, and the people who rushed in first entered Lu Ren's courtyard without any hindrance. And Emperor Liu Xie ignored the obstruction of the ministers and rushed into the courtyard under the protection of the guards.

It's just that this rush is about to come in, and everyone is stunned, and Kong Rong, who was following Emperor Liu Xie's side, roared angrily: "Lu Ren erected! What are you doing here!? ”

But seeing that in the originally beautiful courtyard, a big pit had been dug at some point, and at this moment, a roll of slips and patterns were burning in the pit. Seeing that Lu Ren was standing on the edge of the pit, holding a few rolls of bamboo slips in his left hand, and holding a roll of bamboo slips that had been unfolded in his right hand, it seemed that he was about to throw them into the fire pit; At the other end of the courtyard, there was a jar of wine next to Wan'er and the little children, several of which had been smashed into the jar, allowing the wine in the jar to flow into the ditch, and the little girl Lu Lan was holding a big wooden stick, looking like if she hadn't been frightened by the person who suddenly rushed in and stayed there, there would be another jar of wine "killed" under the little girl Lu Lan's stick......
