Chapter Thirty-Eight: Trying to Cover Up

Lu Bu stood in the Weiyang Palace, looking at the empty hall, anger burning in his chest. Since killing Dong Zhuo, the pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info have monopolized the government and controlled tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and the power on his body has become thicker and heavier, and the anger in his body has become heavier and heavier.

Li Su knelt in the hall tremblingly, he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Lu Bu, because he knew the terrible consequences of Lu Bu's anger, even in front of Liu Xie, he could kill the ministers of the imperial court, let alone him Li Su. The rest of the tiger warriors waited outside the hall, and did not dare to step into the main hall without Lu Bu's call.

Lu Bu turned to look at Li Su who was kneeling on the ground, didn't say a word, and said coldly: "Li Su, are you guilty?" ”

Although he didn't scold loudly, Li Su could hear that there was an infinite murderous intent hidden in Lu Bu's words.

"Confess the sin! Death is due! ”

"Since you know it's a capital crime, don't blame Ben General!"

Li Su was shocked in his heart, raised his head and looked at Lu Bu in disbelief: "Please let the lord bypass Su this time!" Su must go to the soup for the Lord! ”

Lu Bu turned around indifferently, Li Su was anxious, and begged: "Lord, for the sake of the center of Su and the lord, for the sake of Su and the lord's fellow villagers, please bypass Su this time!" Let's get around this time! ”

"Reading you is also a substitute for Wei Xu, and I will bypass your capital crime today!"

Li Su was overjoyed, and asked for Xie Lu Bu, but he didn't want Lu Bu to say: "However, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped!" Someone comes, take Li Su down, and scold fifty military sticks! ”

"Huh?" Li Su felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, fifty military sticks, wouldn't that kill him! It's just that Lu Bu's eyes were cold, and he shrank his head stupidly, not daring to say more.

Li Su was dragged out by the guards outside the hall, and in a moment there was the sound of crackling military sticks.

Lu Bu raised his eyes and looked at the empty throne in the Weiyang Palace, and his mind turned thousands of times, if he couldn't catch up with Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, what should he do? Without the Son of Heaven looking for a chess card, would the people of the world still take refuge in him Lu Bu?

Lu Bu didn't want to think about it anymore, turned around and walked out of the Weiyang Palace, and led people to the Taiwei Mansion. Li Ru, Zhao Qian and other henchmen were already waiting in the conference hall. Even Zhang Liao and Xu Huang have reorganized their troops and returned to Chang'an.

Jia Xu also came, and seeing Jia Xu, Lu Bu's mood became better. Knowing his old plan, he asked Jia Xu: "Wang Yun coerced the Son of Heaven to flee Chang'an, and his whereabouts are still unknown, where do you think Wang Yun and the others are likely to go?" ”

Jia Xu smiled dryly: "Lord, Xu just came, and I don't know the specific details, how dare I speculate!" The lord should quickly interrogate the people in Wang Yun's mansion now, and maybe he can get some clues! ”

Li Ru on the side nodded and said, "Lord, what Wen He said is right!" When the lord came back last night, I had already ordered someone to interrogate Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Shisun Rui and other people in the mansion, and they didn't know where Wang Yun went. ”

A smile flashed in Jia Xuqing's eyes and said, "If I were Wang Yun, I would definitely not reveal my actions to think." ”

Lu Bu frowned and said, "Hmph, bring the steward of Wang Yun's mansion up first!" ”

"No!"

Soon Wang Yun's housekeeper Wang De was escorted up. Wang Denian was about fifty years old, and when he was escorted up, he was already so frightened that he didn't dare to look up at everyone in the hall. He naturally knew why he was escorted up, but he really didn't know where his master was.

"Wang De, tell me quickly, where has your master gone?"

Lu Bu slapped the case and scolded loudly.

Wang De was so frightened that he immediately begged for mercy: "Lord Taiwei, spare your life, the little one really doesn't know the whereabouts of my master." ”

"Humph!" Lu Bu was furious and shouted impatiently: "Drag this person down, and the rod will punish the thirty military sticks!" ”

Lu Bu was now in a rage, too lazy to listen to Wang De's noise, and when he was angry, he couldn't help but say something, and ordered someone to drag Wang De down and scold him with a cane.

Of course, Lu Bu didn't know, whether this person really didn't know or knew that he deliberately didn't say it. The family runs the family and often cultivates these loyal servants, who can sacrifice their lives for the head of the family.

Previously, everyone thought that Lu Bu was arrogant, but now they feel that Lu Bu is not only arrogant, but also tyrannical. The power on Lu Bu's body has also become more and more powerful, and he is by no means just a martial artist as rumored.

Zhong Miao on the side frowned, he saw that Lu Bu practiced military law in everything, ignoring the laws of the imperial court, and acting according to his own preferences, so it was not done by the benevolent lord, but when he saw Lu Bu angry, he was afraid that he would not listen.

Outside the hall, there was a roar of Wang De being scolded by the staff, and after only a moment, he couldn't resist it and was escorted in by the guards.

Lu Bu said in a cold voice: "Say, where did Wang Yun go?" ”

Wang De's lower body was drenched in blood, and now he dared to hide anything, so he told Wang Yun that he was going to escape from Chang'an and go west to join Han Sui and Ma Teng, and asked Wang De to prepare some dry food, and told himself that he must not tell others about this matter.

Everyone was in an uproar and went west to seek refuge in Han Sui Ma Teng? Only Jia Xu smiled and said: "Wang Yuncheng's mansion is extremely deep, how can this version easily tell you about this?" ”

When Wang De saw that Jia Xu still didn't believe it, he immediately cried out in tears that this matter was true.

Lu Bu waved his hand to let Wang De take him down, and then asked Li Rudao: "Have Shi Sun Rui, Yang Biao and others been tortured in the house?" ”

"The subordinates have already sent someone to interrogate them strictly, and they don't even know it!"

"Humph!" Lu Bu was very dissatisfied, "Wang Yun fled, and someone must answer him." So how did you get out? And how to take the Son of Heaven from the palace? ”

Li Ru also told Wang Yun how to take the Son of Heaven and how to escape from Chang'an City.

It turned out that Wang Yun first sent a letter to the Bai Bo thief, promising him an official position in the imperial court, so that he could unite with Fuluo to attack Chang'an and rescue the Son of Heaven. and then secretly bribed the junior colonel of the tiger guards in the palace. When the white wave thieves attacked Chang'an, the troops were tight, and Li Ru asked Li Su to leave a hundred people to guard the palace, but he didn't want to give Wang Yun an opportunity to take advantage of it. In this way, Wang Yun successfully picked up the Son of Heaven.

Tens of thousands of horses and horses of the White Wave Thieves and Hun cavalry besieged Chang'an, just in time for Wei Xu to go north to pick up Lu Bu's family and come to Chang'an.

Wei Xu only had about 100 soldiers and horses, and when he saw that the thieves were powerful, he did not dare to enter Chang'an City, and at this time, he received a person sent from Chang'an City to ask him to detour to the east gate and would receive him into the city.

The White Wave Thieves and the Southern Xiongnu stormed the North Gate, which was also negotiated between Wang Yun and the White Wave Thieves and the Southern Xiongnu. Because the attack of the thieves at the north gate was very urgent, Li Ru mobilized troops and horses from the remaining three gates to guard the north gate, so that the troops of the other three gates were weak, which was also a last resort.

When Wei Xu arrived at the east gate, Wang Yun asked Hao Meng, the guard of the east gate, to open the city gate to welcome Wei Xu into the city. Hao Meng saw that it was the lord's family and naturally did not dare to slack off, so he took Wei Xu and Lu Bu's family into Chang'an City, and at this time, the guards bribed by Wang Yun suddenly opened the east gate and responded to the white wave thieves and Hun soldiers who were ambushed at the east gate.

So Chang'an defended the city and the thieves fought at the east gate, without noticing Wang Yun. And Wang Yun quietly contacted Yang Biao, Shi Sunrui, Huang Wan, and Chong Ji at this moment, took the Son of Heaven to the south gate, opened the south gate and fled.

As for the details, Li Ru has not yet ascertained. Lu Bu slapped the case and shouted: "Hao Meng, are you guilty?" ”

Hao Meng shrank his neck when he heard this, and knelt on the ground: "Lord, the last general is also afraid of the danger of the master's mother, so he opened the city gate, and he didn't want Wang Yun to be a thief, first deceived the last general, and then accepted the thief Kou Huns into the city, all of which were Wang Yun's crimes." ”

Jia Xu saw a cold glint flashing in Lu Bu's eyes, shook his head in his heart and said: "This Hao Meng confessed his guilt well, maybe he won't die, but now he wants to quibble, I'm afraid that my life will not be guaranteed." Lu Bu has already made a move. This Lu Bu is really not to be underestimated, maybe he is also a master! ”

In Jia Xu's heart, Lu Bu is the demeanor of a Ming master, as for the Han Emperor Liu Xie, Jia Xu is a Han familyist, so he doesn't seem to care about Liu Xie's escape. But Lu Bu seems to care very much about Liu Xie's escape, so he is as smart as Jia Xu, and he will definitely not touch Lu Bu's backscales. As for where Wang Yun fled to, Jia Xu may have guessed a few points in his heart, but he didn't say it.

Hao Meng was still quibbling, he felt that he had followed Lu Bu for a long time, and he was taking the lord's wife and daughter into the city, for the sake of this situation, he would definitely not be guilty of him.

It's just that Lu Bu's heart is just like Jia Xu's prediction, and he has already moved to kill. When he was in Xuzhou in his dream, this Hao Meng betrayed him, Lu Bu didn't know whether Hao Meng would rebel in the future, but if such a big thing happened, Hao Meng could be spared, so anyone could rebel in the future.

"Hao Meng opened the city gate privately, so that the white wave thieves and the Huns invaded Chang'an City, putting Chang'an City in danger, which is a capital crime! Come on, drag Hao Meng down, and show the public! ”

"Lord, you can't kill me, I'm the master mother!"

Hao Meng was dumbfounded when she heard this, and immediately shouted. Wei Xugang, who was good friends with Hao Meng, wanted to intercede, but was glared at by Lu Bu and was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.

The pro-army tiger soldier dragged Hao Meng away, ignoring Hao Meng's yelling at all, everyone in the council hall felt that Lu Bu was decisive in killing, and he was as tyrannical as a tiger.

Lu Bu glanced at the rest of the people, and said: "Wang Yun, Shisun Rui, Huang Wan, Yang Biao, and Chongji coerced the Son of Heaven, which is the crime of rebellion, and the Tingwei Mansion ordered that all the clans of the five-person mansion be arrested and imprisoned!" As for Zhong Xuan, you are the captain of the court, and this matter will be handled by you! ”

Zhong Xuan bowed out and said, "No! ”

Lu Bu looked at Zhong Xuan, "These people are relatives of the rebels, and they should be punished severely!" You can understand what Captain Ben means! ”

Everyone knew that Lu Bu was angry and wanted to take his anger out on Wang Yun's five clan subordinates.

Zhong Xuan nodded and said, "My subordinates understand!" ”

"Good!" Seeing that Zhong Miao understood what he meant, Lu Bu no longer discussed this matter, but led his soldiers and horses to pursue the Son of Heaven's convoy as soon as possible.

"Then where did Wang Yun flee with the Son of Heaven?"

Lu Bu asked again.

Li Ru thought for a while and said, "Confucianism thinks that with Wang Yun's scheming character, he will definitely not go to the west. As for what Wang De said, it must be that Wang Yun wants to cover up and confuse the lord. To the west is the land of the West Cool. Xiliang is located in the border area, desolate and barren, and the people are fierce. Wang Yun and others were born in a family, how could they go to such a place. The same is true of the North Side. So it's highly likely to go south, or east. If you go to the east, you have to avoid the lord's army, and over time, you may be exposed. And the south has the best chance, or maybe go south to the east! ”

"Why didn't you find the Tianzi convoy in the south?"

"No, Confucianism thinks that Wang Yun and the others must have coerced the Son of Heaven to go in disguise."

Lu Buhuo Ran got up and said, "Without further ado, Ben will bring three thousand soldiers and horses and go south to pursue the convoy of the Son of Heaven!" ”
