Chapter 281: Dare Not Believe Me

Two more 10,000 words, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” "I'm not Li Ru!" ”

Hyun Shuo hung his head, and only after a while did he hold back a sentence.

"Really?" "I'm not Li Ru!"

Hyun Suk repeated again.

Cao Peng and Kan Ze glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile. The two got up and walked out of the room together, leaving Hyun Suk in the room.

Of course, there are two statues of the Buddha who stand and fall.

Six years of hard work, six years of hard work, seeing success, is it going to be ruined?

Xuan Shuo raised his head and stared at the two golden statues of Buddha, and the corners of his mouth outlined a touch of bitterness.

That's right, I'm Li Ru!

In my mind, I can't help but think of the scene of blood and fire six years ago. After Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, he began to recruit the children of the family. Yuan Shao killed Han Fu, and he ordered someone to send the seal of Jizhou Mu; Cao Ying occupied the eastern county, and Dong Zhuo fought with the general.

Later, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Department will gradually become estranged, and Lu Bu and Wang Yun will be left alone.

Even his son-in-law, Li Ru, who single-handedly laid down the country for Dong Zhuo, was unknowingly neglected. Later, Wang Yun offered a series of schemes, and Li Ru immediately sensed Wang Yun's sinister intentions, and persuaded Dong Zhuo to give up Ren Xiu and give it to Lu Bu.

As a result, Dong Zhuo said: If someone takes a fancy to your wife, are you willing to give it?

Father-in-law, my wife is your daughter, it doesn't matter if I give it or not, the key is that someone has to look at it and be willing to do it...... Since then, Li Ru has lived in a simple place.

Later, when the Fengyi Pavilion was in turmoil, Dong Zhuo took Ren Xiu and his family to leave Chang'an and go to the dock. Before leaving, he also took Li Ru's wife, that is, Dong Zhuo's daughter, with him. So much so that Li Ru's father and son stayed in Chang'an, which was quite desolate.

Later, Wang Yun's serial plan was successful.

Li Ru was the first to get the news, and seeing that Dong Zhuo could not be rescued, he escaped from Chang'an with his son Li Zhuo.

Originally, Li Ru planned to go to Niu Fu, who was also Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. I didn't want to wait for him to arrive, and Niu Fu was killed. And Li Dao Guo Yan was about to disperse the Xiliang army, Li Ru saw that the situation was not good, and immediately took his son to hide in Nanshan. didn't want Jia Xu to come out of nowhere, so he persuaded Li Dao and Guo Yan to lead his troops to besiege Chang'an and save the situation. After Li Ru knew, the situation in Guanzhong had already settled.

Perhaps, some people will say, why not go to Li Dao Guo Yan?

Li Ru also has Li Ru's pride, in his eyes, Li Dao Guo Yan is not worthy of his assistance, but just two clowns who jump off the beam. Moreover, when he hid in Nanshan, he had some contact with several disciples of the Futu Sect, and the previous fiasco made Li Ru have the heart of retreat. He's already shown his talent, and he doesn't need to prove his ability anymore. Assisting Dong Zhuo has already made him haggard. It's better to find a remote mountain village and practice in seclusion. Buy some land and be a rich man on your own...... But being a rich man requires capital.

Even in troubled times, if you don't have capital in your hands, it's difficult to be a rich man.

So, Li Ru remembered the gold that had been stored in Luoyang. If he could take it out, his father and son would be able to live happily in the mountains.

For this reason, Li Ru ruined his appearance, changed his accent, changed his name, and returned to Luoyang.

For six years, he was about to realize his dream, but a Cao Peng ran out of the sky, completely disrupting his plan.

Looking at the golden statue of the Buddha, Li Ru couldn't help gritting his teeth.

As long as I grit my teeth and don't admit that I am Li Ru, nothing will happen.

He knew very well in his heart that if it was known that he was Li Ru, he would die a miserable death. At the same time, he couldn't figure out what Cao Peng's idea was. Catch him? That should have sent him directly to Xu Du, and it was a great achievement. Based on what Li Ru had done earlier, he even believed that as long as Cao Peng handed him over, he would immediately win the reputation of the boss and be praised.

Li Ru is the murderer who assisted Dong Zhuo in poisoning the young emperor...... But Cao Peng did not send him out, but took him to this barren mountain for interrogation.

Could it be that he fell in love with the 20,000 catties of gold?

Also unlikely!

After all, the integrity shown in Cao Peng's two articles is not a greedy person.

Li Ru couldn't figure it out, what was Cao Peng's mind?

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” "It seems that this Li Wencheng is not dead hearted." ”

Cao Peng stood at the gate of the courtyard and talked to Kan Ze in a low voice.

Kan Ze smiled, "This is nature. He hasn't figured out Childe's mind yet, so naturally he won't spit out. Childe should know what a big thing Li Wencheng did at the beginning. Dong Rehen's accomplice, the murderer who poisoned King Hongnong, if he admits it, he will definitely die......"

"Can he really do it?" Cao Peng asked suspiciously: "I mean, is it reliable to let him stay?" ”

Kan Ze was stunned, and immediately understood the meaning of 'reliable'.

"Reliable, absolutely reliable!" He said softly: "Childe is now in the beginning of his momentum. But if you want to go further, you have to have someone who understands it. Looking at Childe's side, Zishan and I are both people who do things, not conspirators; Puyang is a little pedantic, although his knowledge is good, but he is not a big deal; And Brother Ling Deng Haixi, now the official worships the Tuntian Captain, and is in charge of the affairs of the two Huai, and his power is more prosperous than that of his son. If the son has no conspirators to help, sooner or later he will become a vassal of his brother. To be honest, I don't think it's a good thing. ”

"Why?"

"Although Brother Ling is alone now, behind him, there are still the entire Thornyang Deng clan.

Once he gains power, a large number of people will inevitably come to join him; But Gongzi is different, even if he returns to his ancestors and recognizes his ancestors, can he ensure that the entire Cao family is of the same heart as you? Therefore, Gongzi must have a clear plan, and even always hold down Brother Ling. Only in this way will those Deng clansmen not rebel; Only in this way can Childe get more support.

The current form is that your branch swallows the Deng clan; Or in the future, it will be suppressed by the Deng family.

Childe, it's not me who provokes the relationship, this is a reality. Even if Uncle Deng didn't have this idea, how do you know that other Deng clan people are not like this? ”

Cao Peng couldn't help frowning and fell into deep thought.

Dunge!

Although he didn't have much contact with Deng Zhi, Cao Peng could feel that he wanted to bare the lintel.

Last time in Quyang, this Deng Zhi had this intention. It's just that when Chen Gong's soldiers came to the city, he was finally suppressed by Cao Peng.

However, just because he suppressed it doesn't mean he didn't.

And Deng Zhi is by Deng Ji's side, so he can't make waves when he will make waves.

If Deng Ji can't control it, it may even affect the harmony between his husband and wife. Now, Cao Ji is the lieutenant of Cao Du, and he can faintly suppress Deng Ji. But Cao Peng knows that there is probably not much room for his father to rise. After all, this foundation is there, and sooner or later it will be surpassed by Deng Ji...... No, for the sake of my sister, or even for my future nephew, I will do everything I can to suppress my brother-in-law. Power produces truth, otherwise, wouldn't those Deng children have to their tails?

But...... Cao Peng patted his head lightly.

He didn't have a good impression of Li Ru.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Li Ru was almost described as an extremely obscene uncle, and even wrote Li Ru to death during the Chang'an Rebellion.

Is such a person really suitable?

"Childe, don't underestimate Li Ru.

This man is thoughtful and forbearing. Moreover, the far-sightedness of its vision and the accuracy of its timing are extraordinary. That Dong Zhuo is just a reckless man in Lintao, and with Li Ru's advice, he almost won the entire Han family. If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's blind indulgence of the children of the family later, maybe this Han dynasty would be a country...... This person is not only useful, but also useful. But it depends on you, son, whether you dare to use it. ”

Dong Zhuo's rebellion was confined to the Central Plains.

To be honest, it didn't have much impact on Kan Ze, who was born in San'in.

It is even said that the Jiangdong family's attachment to the Han family is far less strong than that of the Central Plains family. After all, Jiangdong has always been in the chaos of barbarian fighting, and Kan Ze, who was born as a farmer, will not have strong feelings for the Han family. Jiangdong people believe in fists more, whoever has a big fist will listen to whom! Sun Ce is just a son of a businessman, but he can command the six counties, relying on his fists. Even in the entire Three Kingdoms period, Jiangdong's resistance was the fiercest, and it was also the most united, which also came from this......" But depending on what he meant, some were reluctant.

You see, he refuses to even admit his identity, so how can he bow his head and submit to obedience? ”

Kan Ze smiled, "That's because he hasn't reached the end of the mountain yet." ”

"Exhausted?"

Cao Peng couldn't help but be stunned.

Don't look at him peeling off the cocoon in Luoyang and cracking the boss's case.

But the grasp of this person's heart is far less profound than Kan Ze. At this moment, Xiahou Lan came to report that Hao Zhao was back!

Kan Ze heard this, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Bring Bo Dao quickly."

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”Before I knew it, it was already past the end of the day.

Li Ruku sat in the room, motionless, as if an old monk had settled down.

Cao Peng took Kan Ze and Hao Zhao and walked in again.

"Layman, have you figured it out?"

Li Ru raised his head, "I'm not Li Ru. ”

Hao Zhao was stunned, revealing a stunned look.

He is a native of Bingzhou, although he is only a pawn in the Bingzhou army, he has also heard of Li Ru's name.

"Lord, is he Li Ru?"

Cao Peng smiled and motioned for Hao Zhao to sit down.

"Layman, let me introduce you.

You may not know Bo Dao, but you must be familiar with the people who Bo Dao followed before. He was born in a trap and was originally a young general of Lu Bu. ”

Li Ru was startled and looked at Hao Zhao.

"Bo Dao is now my commander of the Black Circle, and he is also my most trusted brother." Cao Peng smiled, walked over and hugged Hao Zhao's shoulders.

This simple action made Hao Zhao's heart warm.

"Do you know why my brother didn't show up before?"

Li Ru's face was calm, and the ancient well was not wavering.

That is, there is no expression, let alone a word.

Cao Peng didn't see it, and said to himself: "I let Bodao go to Xingyang...... Layman, you can hear clearly, it's Xingyang. After he arrived in Xingyang, he visited Donglin Temple and had a cordial conversation with Yuan Shuyou, the presiding officer of Donglin Temple......"

"Cao Peng, you ......"

"Layman, I'll ask you one last time, if you are still like this, then I will immediately order someone to take Yuan Zhu's head."

Li Ru's face covered with scars was twisted together, looking very terrifying.

"You, what do you want?"

"I'll need to confirm your identity until I want to do so."

"Well, I'll admit it, I'm Li Ru...... If you let my child go, I can agree to whatever you say. ”

"Didn't you just refuse to admit it?"

"I ......"

The smile on Cao Peng's face suddenly retracted.

"Toast and don't eat the cheap bones of the punishment wine, and you won't bow your head until the mountains and rivers are exhausted.

Li Ru, now that you have admitted your identity, you should be clear about your current situation. I will give you two ways to go, one is to send your father and son to Sikong, I believe that Sikong will be happy to see you, and there will be many people who are willing to clean you up. ”

In normal times, Cao Peng's words, Li Ru would not take them to heart at all.

Can ...... now He shuddered, and the tragic situation of his old man came to his mind.

There are no bones, that's really no bones!

It doesn't matter to you, and this life is not a waste. But his son ...... His son has just arrived and is in the first year, if it is in the hands of Cao Ying's people, it is estimated that the end will not be much better than that of his father-in-law. He can ignore himself, but he can't ignore his son.

Li Ru took a deep breath, "You don't need to say it, I'll choose the second one." ”

"You didn't listen to me and you chosen?"

Li Ru's small eyes stared at Cao Peng.

"You want 20,000 catties of gold, I'll give it to you."

"Hahaha, Li Wencheng, you must have underestimated me too much...... I'll tell you the truth, those 500 golden statues are indeed very tempting, but I may not be able to see them. If I want 20,000 catties of gold, I will kill you now, and I can easily swallow it.

However, I don't want to. ”

Cao Peng likes money, but he doesn't value it.

Besides, in this era, what is the use of empty money and silk?

I think about how many temptations he had refused in his previous life in order to solve the case that cost him his life. 20,000 catties of gold is indeed tempting, but he really doesn't care about it.

Li Ru's eyes narrowed into a line.

Cao Peng said: "I was apprenticed in Luhun Mountain before, and my husband once asked me, what are your ambitions?

I said: Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. My husband once said that my ambition is still difficult to compete in the world. It takes not only more fame, but also more power, more power. I also know that this path is difficult. So I need someone to help me...... You see, there are quite a few people around me. To govern the army, I have Bodao; Decisive victory, I have Xingba. My brother Wang bought Deng Fan, and Xia Houlan, but there are hundreds of enemies, thousands of enemies, and even ten thousand enemies; Zishan and Derun can make my family prosperous without worries. However, I am still alone, a person who can plan for my future.

This person needs to have vision, resourcefulness, and experience...... But he can't show his face, let alone be known to the world. So I thought about it, but only you, the layman, were the most suitable. ”

Li Ru had a feeling of crying and laughing, and suddenly said after a while: "Are you crazy? ”

"Ten years, I want you to help me for ten years."

Cao Peng ignored Li Ru's ridicule and said to himself: "After ten years, you can decide for yourself whether to stay and continue to help me, or leave."

When the time comes, I will give you an identity, give you a piece of land, and your 20,000 catties of gold, all of which will be returned.

Don't try to fool me, and don't try to frame me.

Your son Lee, I have ordered him to be sent to my brother. Thinking about it, he was already on his way by this time...... When you get to the sun, he will write to you. If you frame me and fool me, then my brother will kill your son at the first time. ”

When Li Ru heard this, he was a little stupid.

Cao Peng's ideal is big and empty.

It can even be said that he is delusional...... However, he had to admit that Cao Peng's ideals were quite demagogic.

Li Ru was also born in the book of sages, and he also hopes to be famous in history. But he knew that in his current situation, it was simply impossible.

Cao Peng's conditions made him a little moved.

At the same time, he did save it, and when the time came, he framed Cao Peng and fooled Cao Peng's thoughts.

You let me help you, you can!

But I can never make a decision for the rest of my life.

Wait until you get through ten years, see what you say...... Unexpectedly, Cao Peng actually gave him a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle and sent Li Zhi away.

Li Shu is Li Ru's only hope now, and it is also his only blood and blood. The ancients often said that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater.

If Li Zhi died, then his Li Ru's bloodline would be wiped out!

Cao Peng's hand can not be described as poisonous.

But at the same time, it is not unintelligent...... just pinched Li Ru's weakness, so that Li Ru couldn't refuse.

"How can I trust you?"

Cao Peng laughed, "Li Wencheng, do you dare to believe me?" ”

"I ......"

This girl is too domineering, too domineering!

Li Ru could be said to be extremely angry, but he had to lower his head and say nothing.

"I'll give you one night to think about it, and when you leave tomorrow morning, you'll have to make a decision. Help me to be rich for one life, even ten generations, and a hundred generations; If you don't help me, your father and son will fall to the ground early in the morning, and from now on, in this world, there will be no relationship with you Li Ru.

Where to go, you think it out for yourself. ”

With that, Cao Peng glanced at Kan Ze and Hao Zhao, and strode out of the door.

When the door closed, Li Ru heard Hao Zhao outside the door and asked softly, "Childe, do you really want to believe him?" ”

Cao Peng said: "Since I am willing to use him, I will definitely believe him." There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people...... Li Wencheng has real talent to learn. ”

The footsteps faded away, and the room returned to calm.

Only then did Li Ru realize that the placket on his back was already soaked.

As if he had collapsed, he fell to the floor with a snort, his limbs spread out, and he lay quietly, his head dizzy.

This little guy's aura is not weak!

In time, I'm afraid I can't even compare to my dead ghost father-in-law...... However, what he said was also interesting. I want my Li Ru to study hard for ten years and help my father-in-law achieve great things. It could have soared, but it was ...... in the end If my father-in-law had listened to me at that time, he would not have ended up with no bones left.

This little guy is kind of interesting!

Although his ambition is unattainable, it is not really impossible...... Chen Sheng and Wu Guang said: Princes and generals would rather have a kind. Today's big families, didn't they all come from mud legs at first?

To have power, to be famous, to have people...... If the three are one, why worry about the big thing? Thinking of this, Li Ru felt that he suddenly became a little excited, turned over and sat up, looked at the two golden statues, and suddenly laughed out loud!

If you help him accomplish great things, it will be like 20,000 catties of gold......

(To be continued)
