"Lu Ren, are you guilty?"

"I ......"

Before Lu Ren could say anything here, he felt a tingling pain in his arm, and he didn't need to look at it to know that this was Guo Jia twisting himself hard. Lu Ren is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is a lot smarter many times, seeing Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Liu Ye all standing up to hold himself, he naturally understands that these three will find a way to protect themselves, so where would they be so ignorant of arguing with Cao Cao at this time?

However, this incident really made Lu Ren's heart feel so aggrieved, so Lu Ren gritted his teeth and responded: "I am guilty!" ”

After admitting guilt, it should be sentenced and punished, and at this time, Cao Hong had already seen that Cao Cao wanted to shield Lu Ren, so he stood up and said in his displeasure: "The lord is clear." In the next opinion, if Lu Ren has a heart to do this, and he holds the position of Xu Duling, the treasury can use money and grain at will, if you want to be greedy for ink, it will become a moth of the country in the future; Even if it is an unintentional mistake, as if he is so unclear, in the course of time, he will inevitably misuse money and food, and increase the useless loss of the treasury. ”

Mao Jue also followed: "And no matter whether Lu Ren is intentional or unintentional, he has already committed a serious crime, and he must not be tolerated, otherwise Ming Gong's desire to be strict with the law will not become a joke?" ”

At this moment, Cao Cao had the urge to rush to Cao Hong's side and flatten Cao Hong, but Cao Cao was Cao Cao after all, and it was not difficult to resist this impulse. After gritting his teeth and sighing again, Cao Cao simply came to cut through the mess with a quick knife: "Zilian and filial piety are polite, but Lu Ren's old achievements can't help but be remembered." Anyway, remove Lu Ren from all official positions and abolish him as a commoner...... So be it. ”

Mao Jue frowned. Originally, he wanted to ask Cao Cao to punish him more heavily, but Xun Yu's previous intercession for Lu Ren also made Mao Yu feel a little hesitant. That's what happened in those years, no matter how you say it, you have to take into account a little bit of the merit of the target object, and you can't do things too well, otherwise you will look back and say that this group has no humanity at all, and you don't read any of the old achievements, so who dares to come to you? It is a bit difficult to recruit talents, which is not conducive to the development of the group.

Moreover, Lu Ren's crime was not so serious that he had to be killed, according to the situation at the time, at most, Lu Ren's family property was confiscated into the official, and at the same time, Lu Ren was reduced to prisoner hard labor, and Lu Ren's family was punished as official slaves. Now Cao Cao has dismissed Lu Ren's official, but he has not done anything to Lu Ren and his family, that is, he does not punish Lu Ren too harshly for Lu Ren's merits, which is actually enough, and it is reasonable to be reasonable. Therefore, Mao Jue also felt that it was enough to do this, and if the punishment was too severe, it would not feel good.

But although Mao Jue thought so, Cao Hong felt that it was far from enough, so he said to Cao Cao again: "Lord Mingjian!" According to the law, Lu Ren should not only be dismissed from office, but also his family property should be confiscated into the official, Lu Ren should be demoted to a prisoner, and his family should also be demoted to official slaves......"

Not only did Cao Cao's face change color at this moment, but even the other people present felt that Cao Hong was too much. People like Xun Yu came out to help Lu Ren intercede, but why do you Cao Hong want to kill them all? At this time, many people already remembered the incident between Cao Hong and Lu Ren last year. Although the incident was not big at that time, there were many people who knew about it, and now Cao Hong is doing this, which makes many people feel that Cao Hong is announcing a personal vendetta.

But before Cao Cao could speak, and even the people present didn't have time to discuss, there were three muffled sounds, but it was Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Liu Ye who were suddenly thrown to the ground by Lu Ren, and then Lu Ren's voice of gritting his teeth was like a sharp needle, pricking everyone's eardrums: "Degrade my family to official slaves!?" Cao Hong! Are you really going to force me to tear my face apart!? ”

Lu Ren's sudden change startled everyone present, so much so that Xu Chu and several other generals subconsciously blocked Cao Cao's front. Looking at Lu Ren at this time, how can he still have the usual posture like a soft persimmon? Not to mention the hideous face, there was a faint murderous aura rising on his body.

Even if a person is weak, there will be untouchable scales in his heart. And although Lu Ren has always been hard-hearted, it is just because of his character of "more things are better than less", if you really want to talk about it, Lu Ren is by no means a person with a weak character. For a person like him, it doesn't matter if he usually suffers a little loss, as long as he touches the reverse scale in his heart. But now, Cao Hong has touched the scales in Lu Ren's heart. What's even worse is that Lu Ren is now so aggrieved in his heart, and suddenly saw Cao Hong fall into the well here, and the resentment in his heart was really unbearable.

Cao Hong saw that Lu Ren suddenly became like this, but he was secretly overjoyed in his heart, and as soon as he turned his hand, he took out his sword and scolded Lu Ren: "Bold Lu Ren!" Now that you have confessed your guilt, you still want to escape from it! Come on, take down Lu Ren quickly! ”

I have to say that Lu Ren is really dizzy. This is the meeting place, surrounded by armor soldiers, and Lu Ren is now a guilty person, where can he be allowed to make a fortune here? So immediately, a soldier rushed over to surround Lu Ren, and the weapon had already beckoned to Lu Ren's body.

Everyone knows that Lu Ren doesn't know martial arts, so they are all waiting for Lu Ren to be taken down by the armor on the spot. But to everyone's surprise, Lu Ren's body suddenly moved, and the two armor soldiers who rushed to Lu Ren's approach didn't react to what was going on, and they were knocked to the ground by Lu Ren, and the knife in his hand was also snatched by Lu Ren. Seeing Lu Ren standing there with two knives in his hands, his murderous appearance made the rest of the armor soldiers dare not take another step.

"Don't me! Cao Hong! Don't you just want my life? Come on! I want to see if you have what it takes my life! ”

This time, everyone was really stunned, and Cao Cao's face turned iron blue. At this time, Cao Hong also remembered some things about Lu Ren, and then looked at Lu Ren with a hideous face in front of him, and subconsciously retreated a few steps.

A good meeting place suddenly became like this, which no one expected. Seeing that the atmosphere had become extremely tense, and no one knew what the next moment would be like, Guo Jia climbed up from the ground, squeezed away the armor and stood in front of Lu Ren, raised his arms to block Lu Ren, and shouted: "Yihao! What are you doing, boy? Don't put the knife down yet! ”

Lu Ren's words were squeezed out from between his teeth: "Lao Guo, get out of the way!" Anyway, now it's going to push me to a dead end, and I might be able to get a life if I fight! ”

Guo Jia yelled urgently: "No one will want your life!" You're driving yourself to the brink now! Okay, maybe you can escape by yourself, but what about Wan'er? You are alone, can you take her out of Xu Capital City? ”

“……！！”

Wan'er is Lu Ren's reverse scale, but at the same time, it is also Lu Ren's weakness. Now that Guo Jia is yelling at him like this, Lu Ren may not have been able to come to his senses, but at least he has some hesitation, and the knife in his hand has dropped a little.

The surrounding armor soldiers saw that Lu Ren's knife was hanging down a little, and naturally wanted to step forward and restrain Lu Ren. But as soon as they raised their feet, Guo Jia yelled at these armor soldiers: "Stand down!" All quit! ”

The soldiers were all stunned, you looked at me, I looked at you and looked at each other, and I didn't know if I should leave the hall. But at this moment, Cao Cao's voice finally sounded: "You all retreat!" ”

Cao Cao spoke, and of course the soldiers had to listen, so they all slowly withdrew from the hall. At this time, Lu Ren saw that the armor soldier retreated, and then looked at Guo Jia who was blocking him, lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, and finally threw his hands on the ground heavily, and said to Cao Cao from a distance: "Cao Gong, you want to dismiss my official position, I don't care, I didn't plan to be an official for a few years; It doesn't matter if you don't have my property, I don't have anything anyway.

"What is actually going on this time, I think Cao Gong knows it in your heart, and it doesn't matter if you convict me now, I just admit it. Counting it, I've been working under your account for almost five years, right? In the past five years, I don't dare to say that I have any credit, but there is always some hard work. For the sake of these hard work, please let me go, Gong Cao, don't embarrass my family, okay? Please also Cao Gong, don't really force me to that point! ”

Cao Cao's face at the moment was so ugly and ugly, but he still said to Lu Ren in a fairly calm tone: "I didn't say that I want to embarrass your family!" It's your own upset heart that doesn't wait for Lone to say it. ”

"......" Lu Ren also understood that it was indeed his failure to calm down just now, and as a result, things became like this. Sighing heavily, Lu Ren bowed deeply to Cao Cao from afar, turned around and smiled very reluctantly at Guo Jia, and walked out of the hall door as soon as he turned around.

You said that Lu Ren made such a big move, who would dare to let him leave? Immediately, a soldier wanted to step forward to stop Lu Ren, but Cao Cao shouted: "Don't stop it!" Let him go! ”

With Cao Cao's order, the armor soldiers naturally retreated and opened a way. But Lu Ren stopped at this time, turned around and said to Cao Cao: "Duke Cao, my Wan'er is still in Duke Cao's mansion now, can I go and pick Wan'er away?" ”

“…… OK! Cao Cao closed his eyes, and one hand held his forehead, looking at the expression was obviously very depressed: "Engage, take Yihao to pick up Wan'er." Tell everywhere again, and Lu Yihao must not be criticized. ”

After hearing this, Lu Ren bowed to Cao Cao again, and then followed and left the venue without looking back. Cao Hong saw that this was not a problem, so he hurriedly said to Cao Cao: "Lord, this person is so rude, how can he be allowed to leave?" The last general is willing to lead the armor to capture Lu Ren and hand it over to the lord. ”

Cao Cao's eyes opened suddenly, and he glared at Cao Hong viciously, so that Cao Hong suddenly didn't dare to say a word, and at this time, only two words popped out of Cao Cao's mouth:

"Adjournment!"
