Chapter Twenty-Nine: Dong Zhuo's Conspiracy

After having the previous experience of letting Yuan Shao and Cao Cao assassinate by his henchmen, Dong Zhuo rarely easily believed that he brought accidents from Xiliang, especially the former scholars, although they were very important on the surface, but they also had a hand behind them, and he asked Li Ru to be responsible for installing a lot of henchmen and secret agents to probe for suspicious visits near various families; Once discovered, the consequences can be imagined, and Dong Zhuo is still a little hesitant about Cai Yong, who he has single-handedly raised, because this is a very small group of people who enjoy a high prestige among the scholar class and are willing to speak for themselves, so he is ready to let Li Ru find out first.

Cai Yong is proficient in music and rhythm, talented, in addition to the history of the classics, good words and other literature, calligraphy attainments are also very high, very famous, and Cai Yong and the people of the world love his son very much, he has a very much love for his daughter, from the fact that he taught his daughter a variety of poems and songs; When he learned about his daughter, although he saw the letter, it was not written by his daughter, and he was worried about his daughter's comfort, so he arranged for more than 200 family members to bring some financial thanks, and decided to secretly go to Luoyang to exchange his daughter with these finances; In the early morning, Li Ru visited Cai's mansion and learned that Cai Yong was not in the mansion and left immediately, but sat down and talked with Mrs. Cai

"Lord Li, it's really unfortunate, my lord went out to visit friends all over the morning today."

"Oh? I went to visit friends early in the morning, do you know where I went to visit friends? ”

"Well, well, the master will have time to explain when he goes out, or when the master comes back, I will ask my master to visit Lord Li's mansion in person" Mrs. Cai was hesitant, and fell into Li Ru's eyes, obviously knowing where Cai Yong went, but deliberately didn't say it

"That's not necessary, it's just that I've heard that bandits have been rampant in Luoyang recently, and some bandits have pretended to be the late King Hongnong to deceive."

Li Ru used the information he learned from interrogating the messenger to blow up Mrs. Cai, but he didn't expect Mrs. Cai to blow up so much, and she directly poured out the reason

"Ah, is that really the case? My lord got a letter from the swaggering man in Luoyang, claiming that the little girl was in his hands, and my lord had taken several truckloads of finances to Luoyang to redeem the little girl" At this moment, Mrs. Cai was telling the truth, but it fell into Li Ru's ears, and she felt that it was not so simple, because Li Ru knew that the Hongnong King of Luoyang was likely to be true, could it be that Cai Yong was going to conspire with him? No, you have to tell your father-in-law as soon as possible

"In this case, Madame, please rest assured, I will go to tell the Taishi, and let the Taishi send troops to Luoyang to catch the swaggering people and rescue the young lady" After speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Cai's reply, she turned around and hurriedly walked out of Cai's mansion

"Then please Master Li" Mrs. Cai, who finished speaking, looked up and saw that Li Ru had already left the house in a hurry, only then did she realize if there was something wrong, or if she had said something wrong, and she was faintly worried in her heart;

Li Ru, who had just left Cai's Mansion, immediately beckoned over and placed it near Cai's Mansion and asked

"Have you ever seen Cai Yong go out of the mansion early in the morning?"

"I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it."

Li Ru had a sigh in his heart, and sure enough, he ran out secretly, there must be a ghost in this matter, and he was upset, so he slapped the fine man in the face and said

"Waste, what do you want, you can't even look at an old man"

Frightened, if the fine work was true, he didn't dare to make a sound, and Li Ru didn't have time to waste his tongue at this time, so he rode the carriage when he came to the Taishi Mansion and drove away.

Soon after, Li Ru arrived at the Taishi Mansion and hurried through the door of the mansion, and the concierge also knew Li Ru, so he didn't stop him, until Li Ru went outside Dong Zhuo's bedroom before he felt that it was inappropriate to go in directly, although he was a newcomer to Dong Zhuo, but he also broke in like this and inevitably suffered from suspicion, so he knocked on the door, Dong Zhuo shouted: "Who?" When I got up in the morning, I didn't know that Master Ben was sleeping."

"Please atone for your sins, son-in-law Li Ru, I have something important to see"

Dong Zhuo's anger at this time subsided, "It's a virtuous son-in-law, if you have something important, come in quickly, you don't have to be formal"

"If" Li Ru pushed the door and entered, Dong Zhuo's bedroom is very large, there are two rooms inside and outside, the inside is the couch, the outside is the entrance hall, Li Ru walked into the entrance hall and sat on the seat waiting for Dong Zhuo to come out, Dong Zhuo walked towards the entrance hall while wearing clothes, and could faintly hear some voices, "Taishi, what are you going to do when you get up in the morning?" Lie down with the slave for a while! "That's it, that's it, the slave won't let you go" Two weak and boneless, charming voices came out from inside, "Two little beauties, this master has something important to do, you wait a while, ha, I'll fight you again for three hundred rounds, hahahaha" Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Taishi, you are so bad" "Taishi, you have to hurry up"

The sound of the couch made Li Ru, who was waiting in the hall, listen to his heartbeat faster, and wanted to go back to the house to find the concubine to solve some physiological problems and then come back to talk to Dong Zhuo, but he knew that it was not good, so he could only endure it, he was quite unhappy, and his face was red, Dong Zhuo didn't pay attention to Li Ru's face when he came out, and asked, "What is the matter with the virtuous son-in-law?" ”

"Uncle Yuyue, this morning the son-in-law went to Cai's house to inquire about the situation, I don't want Cai Yong's old man to be out of the house, I began to ask Mrs. Cai Yong She was still secretive, and when the son-in-law blew up with words, I learned from his wife that he went to Luoyang with a lot of money, and I asked Xizuo after I left the house, and Xizuo said that he had not seen Cai Yong out of the house, so he avoided the investigation of Xizuo, if it wasn't for today's son-in-law to visit Cai's house, Cai Yong was secretly returning to Chang'an a few days later, it can really be said that he didn't know it."

"What the virtuous son-in-law said is very reasonable, what did Cai Yong do when he went to Luoyang?"

"According to the son-in-law's guess, Cai Yong has always been reused by his father-in-law, and Cai Yong now has some soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, and with his reputation among the scholars, if he goes to Luoyang this time to contact Liu Braid's child successfully, and is an enemy, after coming back, he will tell the Chang'an Shiren Group that Liu Braid's news is still alive, and use this as an excuse to secretly raise troops to rebel is a big trouble."

"The 200,000 soldiers of the Flying Bear Army of this Taishi would not be afraid of these literati, women and children" At that time, Dong Zhuo's army had a total of 170,000 troops, all of which were elite soldiers in a hundred battles, including tens of thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry led by Li Yu and tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Bingzhou brought over by Lu Bu's rebellion, including many fierce generals like Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, and Cao Xing; There are also tens of thousands of elite elite Xiliang soldiers, all of whom are brave warriors who have fought against the Qiang and other ethnic minorities all year round, among which there are many non-human freaks Hu Che'er, who are said to be able to carry a weight of 500 catties and travel 700 miles a day, although there must be exaggerated elements, but it can also be seen that Dong Zhuojun's military strength at that time "

"Taishi must not be taken lightly, although Taishi has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers with armor, but most of them are stationed everywhere, the likes of Ma Teng Han Sui rebel from time to time, and there are princes from all walks of life in the east, these troops are not easily mobilized, in Chang'an City, Taishi's real military strength is not very much, if you are caught off guard and encounter a turnaround, what if the traitors conquer Taishi's Mansion first?"

"What the virtuous son-in-law said is true, so what should the virtuous son-in-law do?"

"The son-in-law thinks that it should be like this... Such.... So..... So"

"Hahahaha," Dong Zhuo and Li Ru laughed in unison
