Chapter 14 Meeting with Zhang Rang
It is said that after Lu Bu met He Jin, he immediately rode his horse to Zhang Rang's mansion. Originally, eunuchs could only die of old age and in the palace, but Zhang let the ten permanent servants have their own mansions, especially Zhang Rang, the first of the ten permanent servants. Not only did he have his own mansion, but he also built it taller than the royal palace! Zhang Rang was afraid that the emperor would know about it and condemn himself, so he coaxed Emperor Han Ling, "The Son of Heaven cannot ascend, and he will suffer a catastrophe if he ascends." And Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the faint monarch, actually believed Zhang Rang's words, and kept claiming that Zhang Rang was his father. It is no wonder that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was mediocre, and many of the pleasures of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty were taught by Zhang Rang, such as the establishment of the "Four Gardens Selling Officials", openly selling officials to collect money. In the west garden of the Han Dynasty Imperial Palace, a "naked tour hall" was set up, which was specially used for the silver music of the Ling Emperor, which coaxed the Ling Emperor to laugh and laugh. Emperor Ling's trust in Zhang Rang naturally rose all the way.
"Come, stop! Do you know what this place is? Hurry up and report your name, or you'll be treated as an assassin! At the gate of Zhang's mansion, before Lu Bu could speak, he was reprimanded in a sharp voice by a small servant who was obviously a eunuch.
Lu Bu was a character with a city government and didn't get angry, but he just thought secretly, 'Sure enough, he is a character who wants to be better than He Jinniu, and even this little guy who guards the door is more arrogant than He Jin's family.' Lu Bu took out the greeting note and gave it to the little guy, but he didn't say a word.
The doorkeeper immediately became servile and humble when he saw the name at the beginning: "Oh, it's General Fenwei, hehe, the villain has eyes and doesn't know it, please bear with me." Hou Ye had already ordered the little one to wait for the general here. Come to General Lu, please. ”
Lu Bu didn't know much about this kind of villain, and followed the little guy to a garden. There were dozens of children playing in the garden, which made Lu Bu very puzzled. 'How can there be children in this eunuch Zhang Rang's house? Could it be the child of his relative? Lu Bu couldn't figure it out, so he asked the little guy who led the way, "This little brother, I don't know whose child is in this garden." How to play here? ”
"Oh, General Lu, these are actually not people. Hehe, General Lu, don't be surprised, small means that these children are not ordinary children, they are actually Hou Ye's vegetable people. It's a vegetable dish, Hou Ye will eat a vegetable man every ten days, I heard that it is a Taoist priest who said that this can make people like us grow male roots again. The man said with a look of hope
"What? Cannibalism? These kids are all kept in captivity like pigs? This, this" Lu Bu was stunned at the time, and he couldn't speak for a while.
"Hehehe, General Lu is really making too much fuss. What's so strange about cannibalism, in some places, parents often trade their own children to each other. Then the children who were exchanged were eaten on the spot. And Hou Ye did not give less money and food to the parents of those children, but there were many people rushing to sell it at that time. The little guy said with some disdain when he saw Lu Bu's gaffe.
Lu Bu was silent, he had already forgotten his own era, and it was of course inconceivable to eat people in the original era. But in this cruel era, many families will be forced by life to have to eat people. I really have to blame the mediocrity and greed of those in power. Thinking of this, Lu Bu had a deeper understanding of the master's words when he went down the mountain, and his goal in life was clearer.
Lu Bu closed his eyes and adjusted his mentality for a moment and let that little guy continue to lead the way, he has no ability to change this troubled world now, the only thing to do is to accumulate strength to end this troubled world as soon as possible. And to do this, you must first learn to endure!
After a long journey, Lu Bu finally met the great eunuch Zhang Rang and Zhang Houye, who were in power.
"The last general, Lu Bu, see Hou Ye." Lu Bu lowered his head to hide the murderous intent that he almost revealed.
"Get up, what a handsome guy. Why did you come to see me so late? Zhang Rang said casually while repairing the nail.
"The last general first went to the mansion of the great general He Jin." Lu Bu told Zhang Rang without concealing the reason why he was late.
"Huh? Daring!! Lu Bu, do you know that your position as a general was asked for by this marquis? Wow, you're bullish now, aren't you? Dare to take refuge in He Jin, that puppet? Come on," Zhang Rang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly shouted angrily.
Lu Bu didn't have the slightest timidity, he looked at Zhang Rang with indifferent eyes and said a word, and Zhang Rang's face changed greatly.
"Does Master Hou know that the time of death is approaching?"
Zhang Rang was startled, and then Zhang Rang remembered that the legend that Lu Bu's martial arts had become invincible, and even the first barbarian generals of the grassland had died in the hands of this lord, and this person had also done the feat of assassinating the enemy chief by going deep into the army alone. He is now less than two steps away from him, how many moves can he carry with his small body?
"You, don't mess around. This Marquis is a popular person around the emperor, if you dare to touch a single hair of this Marquis, the emperor will definitely destroy your three clans! Zhang Rang threatened Lu Bu with no confidence.
"Hahaha, Hou Ye misunderstood, but the catastrophe of Hou Ye mentioned below is not the assassination of the last general. The last general said that he came here specifically to save Hou Ye, not to assassinate him. Lu Bu said proudly.
When Zhang Rang heard that Lu Bu was not here to kill him, he finally took a long breath, Zhang Rang sat on the bed and asked a little lazily: "Since you are not here to assassinate this marquis, then how can I have a catastrophe coming, and it is so big that it will let me die?" Apparently, Zhang Rang thought that the young man was alarmist and scared himself.
"Does Master Hou know Zhang Jiao?"
"Huh? But that Yellow Turban Sect leader Zhang Jiao? It's a long story, and he deals with me very often. Speaking of which, the seat you used to take on was bought for you at a great price. What's wrong? ”
"Hehe, here's the problem, I originally liked to make friends with Taoist priests, and I was originally friends with that Zhang Jiao. Recently, however, I found that this horn was preaching everywhere on the surface, but secretly it was secretly hiding a sword and preparing to rebel, and as far as I know, there were hundreds of thousands of believers in this horn all over the world. I also heard that the general had secretly bribed one of Zhang Jiao's apprentices, and he had learned some evidence of the transaction between Hou Ye and Zhang Jiao. He Jin is preparing to ask this person to go to Luoyang as a witness when Zhang Jiao is in trouble a few months later, so as to accuse Hou Ye, and at that time, no matter how Hou Ye speaks, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, it will be a crime of collusion and rebellion, and he should be beheaded according to the law. I specially went to He Jin's Mansion today to find out the truth, and after I pretended to show my loyalty and revealed some things that he had known for a long time, I hurriedly came to report to the Hou Ye after knowing the careful planning. But I didn't expect it" After Lu Bu said these words slowly, Zhang Rang immediately sweated.
Zhang Rangsi felt that he had no plan to deal with it after thinking about it, so he hurriedly begged Lu Bu: "Hahaha, brother Fengxian, my brother didn't greet me well just now, please take care of my brother." Please also ask my brother to help my brother once for the sake of being a brother who is not bad to you. As long as I can escape this catastrophe, I Zhang Rang is willing to swear that I will not treat my brother badly, and we will be like brothers in the future. ”
Lu Bu saw that the fire had arrived, and he didn't continue to pretend: "What is Hou Ye talking about, the last general came this time to save him and get out of this calamity, so as to repay Hou Ye's kindness to the last general." In fact, it is not difficult to solve this matter now, He Jin still needs time to complete the layout of Hou Ye, and the time is probably around the beginning of spring next year. I heard that the person who attacked Hou Ye was called Zhang Jun, Hou Ye can first find some weighty scapegoats during this time, and when the time comes, we will grab the many yellow scarves in Luoyang before He Jin, and then we can bite back He Jin is not strict with Luoyang's security control, although we still can't get rid of the guilt, but at least the responsibility will be a little less, at this time Hou Ye is throwing out the scapegoat to block the crime. Hou Ye himself is naturally safe and worry-free. There is also Hou Ye who can secretly collect some evidence of Zhang Jun's crimes, I don't believe that he has really never done anything wrong. When the time comes, Hou Ye will reveal his incriminating evidence in the court, and this attack on Hou Ye will become a farce. Hou Ye can even take the opportunity to cut down some of He Jin's henchmen. ”
Zhang Rang thought for a while and then laughed: "I have no worries, hahahaha." ”
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Rang's sorrow and smiled, but he secretly thought, 'Laugh, laugh.' A few years later, Luoyang's great changes are the real death period of your cannibalistic beast. If it falls into my hands then, hum! ’
