Chapter 16: Why We Come Here (1)

In the hall of the Dong Mansion, the old lady sat in the center, and Mrs. Dong sat in her lower position.

Dong Zhuo is not in Lintao, although it is said that Mrs. Dong is the master of the Dong Mansion, but in front of the old lady, she still maintains humility. This is not only a matter of seniority, but more importantly, the old lady has cultivated people like Dong Li.

The Dong Mansion is not short of property, but what it lacks is people, especially capable men.

Therefore, Niu Fu and Li Ru became sons-in-law, on the one hand, to bring prosperity to the people, and on the other hand, to gather talents. I have to say that Niu Fu and Li Ru performed quite well. Niu Fu is steady and cautious, Li Ru is smart and scheming, and now he is an indispensable thinker and mastermind by Dong Zhuo's side.

But the people of the Dong family are relatively weaker.

Dong Min is afraid of hardship, likes to wear gorgeous clothes, drink rice wine from Jiangnan, and act ostentatiously, and has a group of wives and concubines at home. In fact, everyone in the Dong Mansion knows that although Dong Min cannot be said to be a waste, it is by no means enough to succeed. If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's doting on his brother, Dong Min wouldn't even be a Dubo. In the words of the old lady, Dong Min can take fifty people to show their teeth and claws, eat, drink and have fun. But if he were to bring fifty men and fight an equal number of enemies, he would surely be defeated.

Dong Huang, the third generation, is also a master who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, which is not worth mentioning.

But now, the old lady has cultivated a Dong Yan who is a hundred enemies, or even ten thousand enemies, and more importantly, he is only twelve years old.

You must know that the entire Dong family wanted to kill Dong Yan back then, but only the old lady insisted on adoption.

Now that Dong Li has begun to become an adult, the old lady's persistence has become wise, and her status has become stronger.

Niu Fu knelt at the bottom of Mrs. Dong, and beside him was his wife Dong Zhao.

Next to the old lady, Dong Yu was sitting upright, with a particularly serious expression. This is almost all the manpower of the Dong family in Lintao. Dong Yuan has not been rescued yet, and Dong Li, after a long day's work, is estimated to be asleep at this time.

"Are you really not going to save the fourth sister?"

Dong Zhao asked a little unhappily: "Are those people sent by Ah Chou reliable?" I still think we should send someone to pick it up. ”

Dong Yu said: "Those people are going around in circles with us, and it is impossible to know that their leaders have been killed. The focus of the Taiping Dao and the burning of the Geqiang people is in Lintao, so those dozen or so people will not cause any trouble. Besides, since Ah Chou is not worried, I believe that there must be his reasons. Second sister, don't forget that in this house, the fourth sister and Ah Ugly are the closest. ”

Although he didn't like Dong Li, Dong Zhao had to admit this fact.

The old lady opened her mouth and said, "Eldest sister, let's talk about the Taiping Dao thief, what is going on?" ”

"Grandma, the Taiping Dao thief wants to rebel."

The people in the hall suddenly became tense, and the atmosphere became depressing.

Mrs. Dong said: "I have heard some things about Taiping Dao, and it has been more than a year since Zhang Jiao established the sect. However, I have not heard of any rebellion against him, but he is very charitable and well-known among the people. ”

Dong Yu smiled bitterly: "I haven't heard of Taiping Dao before. But I believe in one thing, there must be a demon when things go wrong. Why is that horn so charitable for no reason? Why should we be gracious to the people? Not to mention where his generosity came from, but just looking at the current situation of Taiping Dao, Cheng Yuanzhi called, and thousands of people in the small Lintao immediately responded...... If Zhang Jiao stood up and summoned, what would happen? ”

Niu Fuyi frowned, "When the eldest sister said this, I remembered that when I sent people to arrest the Taiping Dao thieves, many sect members rose up to resist, and even did not hesitate to go against the officials and soldiers. If it weren't for this reason, Cheng Yuanzhi wouldn't have been able to run away. ”

"So, you said that Zhang Jiao wants to rebel?"

Dong Yu shook his head and suddenly laughed.

She remembered that when she interrogated Tang Zhou, every time she asked about the key points, Tang Zhou hesitated slightly, and the footcloth came out......

I didn't expect Ugly to have such a bad taste.

"Big sister, what are you laughing at?" Mrs. Dong asked.

Dong Yu shook his head, "It's okay, I just remembered what Ugly did." ”

As she spoke, she told Dong Li about spoofing Tang Zhou outside the firewood room, which caused everyone to laugh out loud.

With a smile, Dong Yu said: "According to Tang Zhou's confession, Zhang Jiao has photographed many people like him who are engaged in the same thing. In recent years, there have been horse thieves in Youzhou, and even more so, they have colluded with the Xianbei people to loot the towns. Many large families suffered because of this, and the property was either exchanged with the Xianbei people for horses, or flowed into the hands of Zhang Jiao. Tang Zhou also said that Zhang Jiao had begun to use his wealth to make friends with the powerful people in Luoyang, and he was very close to the eunuchs in the palace. ”

The old lady frowned slightly, and stood up.

"It's not something we can do anymore. Niu Fu immediately took a reliable person to escort Tang Zhou to Hedong. ”

"Grandma!"

Dong Yu hurriedly said: "My brother-in-law arrested two people, one of them, Ah Chou was quite interested, and it seemed that he wanted to accept it. ”

"Oh? Leave it to him. If it is accepted, it will be classified as the ugly general, and if it is not accepted, it will be cut down and eradicated. ”

The old lady spoke and acted in a general's style, and made a decision in the blink of an eye.

Mrs. Dong also knew that this was almost the case.

"The eldest sister, the second sister...... Tell the family that it is strictly forbidden to talk about the ugly. What you do is not allowed to be known? ”

Niu Fuqi said: "Mother, why? ”

"Ah Ugly is still young, if he is known too early, it will not be good for him or the Dong family. The bigger your father's rulers become, the more political enemies will grow in the future. The Dong family is not prosperous, and it is necessary to have enough back-up. Mrs. Dong also stood up as she spoke, "Ah Chou is a strange soldier in my family, don't be known until the last resort." ”

"Then father ......," Dong Zhao asked.

"Don't tell your father, he's busy with government all day, don't let him work anymore. Tell him that everything is fine at home, and the horse thief is surrounded and suppressed by Niu Fuji's county soldiers...... Second sister, if I know that the ugly thing came from your mouth, even if your father pleaded for mercy, don't blame the mother for being unsympathetic. When the time comes...... Hmph, think for yourself. ”

Mrs. Dong helped the old lady away.

Dong Yu was about to get up, when he heard Dong Zhao muttering: "It's just a hairy child, is it necessary to value it so much?" ”

She stopped, stared at Dong Zhao and said, "Second sister, mother is not joking. Whether the ugly is worth looking at, the brother-in-law should know in his heart. In short, it's right for you to keep your mother's words in mind, otherwise something will happen, and your sister won't be able to protect you. ”

When the Dong family was discussing in the hall, Dong Yan was sleeping.

He didn't sleep for a whole day and a night, and he was exhausted. When he fell on the couch, he snored and had a sweet dream.

He dreamed that he had grown up, riding the already tamed lion-maned beast Ugly, galloping across the endless plains.

Ah Chou ran up, his yellow mane fluttering in the wind, very powerful, and there was an inexplicable majestic masculine beauty.

Grandma and Midori were behind him, calling his name and laughing.

Everything was beautiful and intoxicating...... Suddenly, a red rabbit horse appeared. Don't ask Dong Li how he knew that it was a red rabbit horse, anyway, he knew. Immediately, a general, with a golden crown on his head, wearing a hundred flowers robe, hanging Tang Yi armor, wearing a lion belt around his waist, and holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, appeared from the sky and ran towards his grandmother.

Don't ask who it is, Dong Li just knows, it's Lu Bu.

"The remnants of the Dong family, take your life!"

The general appeared behind his grandmother in the blink of an eye, and Fang Tian drew a halberd and slashed at his grandmother's neck.

"Don't...... Grandma, be careful! ”

Pale and white flew up, grandma's head flew in the air, but she was saying to Dong Li: "Ugly, why don't you save me!" ”

"Don't!"

Dong Yan sat up, his forehead dripping with cold sweat.

He gasped, and his underwear was soaking wet. He got off the couch, walked to the table, picked up a bowl of water and drank it. Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Dong Yan exhaled a long breath.
