Chapter 92: Fission (2)
Speaking of Zhang Liao's position as Bing Cao, the full name should be Bing Cao's History, which belongs to the Si Li Lieutenant Moderation. But now Zhang Liao learned that the situation in the capital had suddenly changed, but a series of unexpected changes had occurred in just ten days, which couldn't help but make him feel very surprised. After some thought, he decided to choose to break away from the Yuan camp and take refuge under Dong Zhuo. So, he took the initiative to visit Dong Zhuo.
Then, Dong Zhuo met with Zhang Liao. But after seeing Zhang Liao enter the door, he arched his hand and said: "Bing Cao is engaged in history Zhang Liao, please see Sikong." β
Dong Zhuo smiled: "Haha, no courtesy; Wenyuan returned from recruitment, and he was tired, so sit down and have a cup of tea and rest. β
Zhang Liao said again: "Thank you Sikong." β
So, Zhang Liao knelt down and sat down on the side.
At this time, Feng Xian couldn't help but smile and said, "Wen Yuan, I haven't seen you for many days, how are you doing lately?" β
Zhang Liao smiled and said: "Thanks to Master Lu's concern, Liao has been good recently. β
Feng Xian said: "You and I are old acquaintances, so you don't have to see each other like this." β
"Okay." Zhang Liao nodded.
But I heard Dong Zhuo ask: "By the way, aren't you a subordinate of Yuan Shao, why did you come to visit the old man?" β
Zhang Liao couldn't help but say: "It's not a secret, Liao saw that the captain of Sili abandoned the official and fled, and he felt in his heart that after the Yuan family, most of them were just a group of gentlemen; Although it is very famous, it is not enough to achieve great things in the end; Therefore, Liao Te came to visit Sikong and hoped that Sikong would be retained. β
Feng Xian couldn't help but say: "Sikong, Wen Yuan was born in a scholarly family, although he is only in his early twenties, he is cautious and calm, and he has a talent to take charge of his own side. It's a good job. β
"Hmm." Dong Zhuo nodded when he heard this, and said, "Okay." In this way, you will take the position of a soldier, and pretend to be a lieutenant; During the period of leave of absence. You can receive a salary according to the rank of the lieutenant. β
Zhang Liao couldn't help but arch his hand and said: "Thank you Sikong for relying on it, Liao will live up to expectations!" β
Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "That's very good." β
That night, Yuan Ji instructed his subordinate diners: "According to the plan, go and dig up He Miao's coffin, and then divide the body with a knife; Remember, this matter is planted on Dong Fatzi's desire to do something, and he must not show the slightest flaw. β
The subordinate responded: "Yuan Gong, please rest assured, you will not be disappointed." β
Yuan Ji nodded and said, "Okay, you guys go." β
"No!" Several people were ordered to leave.
Immediately. Yuan Ji looked at the other person standing on one side again. I saw that this person's whole body was wrapped in a black cloak, and he couldn't see what his face looked like at all, and the only thing that people could feel was the murderous aura on his body.
"Hmm." Yuan Ji looked at him with a deep groan, but said, "The assassination of Wuyang Jun will be handed over to you, I believe you won't let me down, right?" β
"Of course, the person I want to kill has never missed; As long as the money is enough, even if it is to assassinate the son of the day. I can do it too. Suddenly, this person's voice sounded a little psychedelic, with a hint of playfulness in the psychedelia, and a rich timbre in the playfulness. In a word. Anyway, this is a character that makes people feel very dangerous when they see it.
Yuan Ji couldn't help but say: "In the forbidden palace, there are masters like clouds. Don't be careless. β
However, he said disapprenously: "Master? Hum. In my eyes, they're just a bunch of rubbish; Even if it is the Shao Ran, who is known as the first in the world. I won't take it seriously. β
Yuan Ji smiled and said, "I know that you are the apprentice of Wang Yue, the first swordsman who was dominant in the capital back then, but in my opinion, your martial arts may not be as good as that Shaoran; Don't say it's too little, even against Lu Bu, I'm afraid your chances of winning are not great; Okay, stop talking big here, get down to business. β
He said disdainfully: "Hmph, the tricky pupil will let Yuan Gong see that my reputation as the number one assassin in the world is not false." β
With that, the assassin named Tricky Pupil turned around and quickly left.
At this time, Wuyangjun was still taking Liu Wei to guard the mourning hall for the "dead Empress Dowager He" to hide people's eyes and ears. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the oil lamps on the mourning hall were blown to the sound of hunting, as if they were about to be blown out.
Wuyangjun saw that the wind was a little strong, as if it was going to rain, so he got up and wanted to close the door. However, as soon as she reached the door, a dark shadow suddenly appeared.
"Oops!" Wuyang-kun was so frightened that he took a step back. Immediately seeing that it was a person, she couldn't help patting her heart and said, "In the middle of the night, I thought I had seen a ghost, it was really shocking to kill the old woman!" I said, what are you, how do you dress like this? β
This black shadow is a tricky pupil, he was obviously a little surprised by the old lady's performance, but said: "On the orders of the court, in order to prevent future troubles, I have come to take your life!" β
When Wuyangjun heard this, he suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face. However, in the next moment, a cold light swept by, and she suddenly felt that she could not breathe. When I looked closely, it turned out that her throat had been slashed by a sword of trickery, and blood was pouring out of the wound.
At this moment, there is no third person in this mourning hall except for Liu Wei. I saw that Liu Wei was dumbfounded at the moment, looking at the scene in front of him with a look of horror on his face. Then, Wuyangjun's body slowly fell, and Liu Wei knelt in place without the slightest movement.
The tricky pupil looked at him, groaned slightly, and said, "Boy, if anyone asks, you will say that the assassin was sent by the court, understand?" β
"Oh, oh." Liu Wei nodded, and the look of horror on his face still did not subside.
So, Wei Tong planned to turn around and leave, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he picked up Wuyangjun's body and threw it in the forest outside the door. Because in his opinion, this seems to be more cruel, and it can highlight Dong Zhuo's arrogant style.
The next day, He Miao's body was dismembered by a knife, and the news of Wuyangjun being killed by assassins spread throughout the capital early in the morning. Since people have heard that Dong Zhuo has always been strong, it is easy for everyone to believe that Dong Zhuo did these two things. Moreover, under the instruction of Yuan Kui, the historian also deliberately recorded these two things in the annals of history.
Then, Liu Xie summoned hundreds of officials to the court and discussed the authenticity of this matter.
Xun Shuang, the court lieutenant who was in charge of investigating and dealing with the matter, said: "Your Majesty, the minister has sent someone to carefully investigate; When Wuyangjun was killed by the Assassins, King Hongnong was also present, stating that the Assassins were sent by the Imperial Court; In addition, the corpse of the late chariot general He Miao was dismembered by gangsters, and He Miao's eldest son, He Qin, also said that those gangsters were sent by the court. β
In this regard, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty could not help but be in an uproar, and they exchanged words and discussed in private. Only Li Ru and a few others felt a little inexplicable about this matter, and they didn't believe that Dong Zhuo sent someone to do it.
But when he saw Dong Zhuo, he was furious and scolded: "Damn it, no matter how arrogant the old man is, he will definitely not do such an unreasonable thing!" Regardless of whether the exhumation of He Miao's body and the assassination of Wuyangjun were done by the old man, is there any benefit to the old man in doing so? β
However, Yuan Kui said: "Hmph, you Dong Sikong has always been arrogant, and what you want to do is all up to your own will, who knows why you want to do that?" β
Yuan Ji also said: "The so-called human heart is separated from the belly, what kind of person is in a person's bones, and it is definitely not easy for outsiders to see." β
Dong Zhuo suddenly scolded: "Let your mother's bullshit!" β
Yuan Ji sneered: "Why, someone said it was right, that's why you are annoyed and angry, right?" β
"You fucking talk nonsense again, believe it or not, the old man hacked you to death?" Dong Zhuo immediately wanted to pull out the saber on his body, but suddenly found that he didn't have the saber on his body.
Yuan Ji couldn't help but laugh contemptuously: "You still want to hack me to death without even bringing a knife?" You must know that there are rituals and laws in the court, and a vulgar person like you who does not respect the law of etiquette should not appear here at all. β
At this time, Situ Ding Palace also said: "Your Majesty, the minister Situ Ding Palace thinks what the servant said is good; Sikong Dong Zhuo first sent someone to dig up the coffin of the deceased Che Cavalry General, split his body with a knife, and threw it on the side of the road; He then sent assassins to kill Wuyang-kun and dispose of his body in the Imperial Forest; Now he doesn't respect the law of etiquette and roars at the court; The Chending Palace thought that Dong Zhuo's crime was unforgivable, and he should be removed from his position as a general according to the law, receive his former general's seal, and send it to the court lieutenant to be punished! β
At the time, all the people of the Yuan family and the party agreed: "The ministers seconded it." β
"Thisβ" Seeing this, Liu Xie couldn't help but hesitate.
But he saw Dong Zhuo sneering: "Okay, good, the old man wants to take a look, who dare to touch the old man and try it!" β
Suddenly, Tingwei Xun Shuang spoke: "Your Majesty, according to the opinion of the minister Xun Shuang, although there are witnesses who accuse He Miao's corpse of excavating and mutilating Wuyang Jun, they are all sent by Sikong Dong Zhuo; However, the evidence is insufficient to warrant a conviction; Only after Captain Tingwei has found conclusive evidence can he make a conclusion. β
In other words, Xun Shuang is Xun Yu's uncle and grandfather, although he is not young, he is just a scholar who has not been an official. However, he has a high reputation among the people, and his seven brothers are known as the "Xun Eight Dragons". Because of my previous recommendation, now that he has been promoted by Dong Zhuo to be one of the Nine Qings, it can be regarded as a step to the sky. Xun Shuang was originally a person who knew right from wrong, and he was valued by Dong Zhuo, so he came out to say a fair word at this time.
At the right time, Lang Zhong ordered Li Ru and Taizhong doctor Yang Biao and several others to also say: "The ministers seconded the words of the court captain. β
When Liu Xie heard this, he nodded and said, "Very good, according to what Xun Qing's family said." β
"Hmph." Dong Zhuo couldn't help but smile contemptuously at Yuan Kui and the others. But Yuan Kui looked at the elderly Xun Shuang with a deep groan, and there was a hint of resentment in his eyes. (To be continued......)
