A soldier armed with an awl ran to Dong Zhuo's body.

He first picked up Dong Zhuo's clothes that were as tattered as strips of cloth because of dragging, and then carried an awl and pierced Dong Zhuo's navel.

Because Dong Zhuo had already shed a lot of blood when he died, the awl pierced into his navel, and only a little blood oozed out. The soldier with the awl turned his face sideways, ready to avoid the blood spurted, but the blood did not soar as he imagined, and the awl pierced into Dong Zhuo's navel, as if it had been pierced into a pile of fat meat on the butcher's shop, and when it was pulled out, it also brought some Bai Sensen's fat and turned it outside.

The downtown area was full of people, and almost everyone held their breath and watched the soldier's movements on Dong Zhuo.

After tying the hole, the soldier took out the wick again, stuffed the wick into Dong Zhuo's navel, which was pierced with a small hole, and then took some lamp oil from the side and poured it into Dong Zhuo's deep umbilicus socket.

Liu Wei had always thought that lighting the sky lantern was just a wick of Saigan, but when he saw the soldiers acting like this, he realized that even if Dong Zhuo was covered in fat, because the oil was not refined, it was impossible to catch fire when he saw it, so he still had to pour some lamp oil first and refine the fat into grease in order to achieve the purpose of making the corpse burn.

As the wick was lit, Dong Zhuo's corpse burned like a giant candle.

"Good!" The onlookers saw Dong Zhuo's navel lit with a wick, and they were silent for a while, and after a while, they didn't know who shouted hello first. Someone took the lead in applauding, and the crowd erupted in applause.

Standing in the crowd, Liu Wei saw Cai Yong, who had a sad face, being escorted by several soldiers and squeezed out of the crowd under the general's wave of his hand.

glanced at Deng Zhan and the others, and Liu Wei took the first step out of the crowd. Deng Zhan and more than 100 pro-soldiers also immediately squeezed out of the crowd, and there was suddenly a big gap in the lively crowd, and many people who were originally standing behind squeezed to the front, looking at Dong Zhuo's corpse burning with a wick burning on his navel.

Squeezed out of the crowd, Liu Wei led Deng Zhan and the others to follow the team of soldiers holding Cai Yong and followed quickly.

The group of soldiers who were escorting Cai Yong felt that someone was following behind them, and the few soldiers who were walking behind the most Lu stopped and turned their heads to look behind them.

Seeing a young man in a fancy costume, leading a team of soldiers in bright red armor to follow quickly, the four soldiers glanced at each other, and walked a few steps towards Liu Wei and the others, one of them raised his arm, blocked the way of Liu Wei and the others, and asked them: "Who are you waiting for, why are you following behind me?" ”

"Bold!" As soon as the soldier's words were asked, a personal soldier jumped up behind Liu Wei, glared at the soldier, and shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang is here, how dare you shout?" ”

The entire Chang'an City knows that the current King of Luoyang is the King of Hongnong who fled from Luoyang, and the killing of Dong Zhuo is also the secret deployment of the King of Luoyang behind his back.

As soon as they heard that the king of Luoyang was here, the soldiers holding Cai Yong all stopped, and they were stunned on the spot as if they had been immobilized.

The four soldiers who stopped in front of Liu Wei and the others hurriedly knelt on the ground, and the soldier who had just spoken said tremblingly: "The villain doesn't know that His Highness is here, there are many collisions, and there is no redemption for death!" ”

"Don't say ten thousand deaths, let you die once, I'm afraid that if you do ghosts, you will hate this king!" Liu Wei didn't look at the four soldiers kneeling in front of him, waved his hand at them very casually, dropped a word that was not salty or light, and walked towards Cai Yong, who was tied up.

"Who are you?" When he arrived in front of Cai Yong, Liu Wei furrowed his brows, pretending not to know and looked at Cai Yong from head to toe first, and then asked him: "Dong Zhuo is perverse, and heaven and man are angry, don't you know?" But why are the corpses weeping? ”

"Xia Guan is Zhonglang Cai Yong!" The upper body was tied like a zongzi, Cai Yong wanted to give Liu Wei a salute, but he couldn't pull his hand, so he had to bow down slightly and say: "Dong Zhuo has the grace of knowing the subordinate official, thinking of his benefits, so the subordinate is difficult to restrain himself!" ”

Born as Cai Yan's father, Cai Yong knew that Liu Wei had married his daughter. But Cai Yong thought that now was not the time for him to recognize Liu Wei, otherwise he would definitely be regarded as clinging to wealth and aggrieved to survive. Because he only answered Liu Wei's question, and did not mention Cai Yan.

Cai Yong behaved like this, but it was a little unexpected for Liu Bian, he thought that Cai Yong would report Cai Yan's name and surname in order to survive, and begged Liu Biao to exonerate him, as long as this is the case, even if Liu Biao asked those soldiers to release Cai Yong at that time, it is understandable.

But Cai Yong has the bullish nature of a literati, which makes Liu Wei secretly feel a little helpless in his heart.

"It turns out that my father-in-law is here!" Cai Yong didn't cooperate, but Liu Wei couldn't watch the soldiers take him away, once he was sent to Wang Yun, I was afraid that this literati with a bullish temper would end up in a different place, Liu Wei hurriedly arched his hand to Cai Yong, and said to the soldiers who were holding him: "This person is the king's father-in-law, why don't you loosen the tie quickly?" ”

The matter of Liu Wei marrying Cai Yan has been pressed by Dong Zhuo in Chang'an City, and there are not many people who know about it.

Hearing that Cai Yong was the father-in-law of the king of Luoyang, a group of soldiers who were holding him were all stunned, and they forgot to help Cai Yong loosen the bindings.

Seeing that the soldiers did not move, the two Liu Wei's personal soldiers stepped forward, pushed the soldiers standing behind Cai Yong away, and helped Cai Yong loosen his ties.

"If it weren't for this king to stop you, where are you going to send Cai Zhonglang?" The two personal soldiers loosened the shackles on Cai Yong's body and protected him behind him, Liu Wei held his hands behind him and asked the soldiers who escorted Cai Yong lightly.

"Back to Your Highness!" The soldiers who led this team of soldiers to Cai Yong clasped their fists with both hands, bowed down and said to Liu Wei: "We are about to send Cai Zhonglang to Wang Shangshu's place!" ”

"This matter has been dealt with by the king!" Liu Wei waved his hand at the group of soldiers and said to them: "This king will strictly guard Cai Zhonglang and prevent him from coming out to cause trouble again!" ”

A group of soldiers holding Cai Yong clenched their fists and bowed, but they did not respond to Liu Wei's words, but no one dared to raise objections.

"Go home!" Glancing at the soldiers again, Liu Wei beckoned to Deng Zhan and his own soldiers behind him, and gave the order to return home.

Liu Wei's mansion is the Xiangguo Mansion where Dong Zhuo lived. However, the door plaque of Xiangguo Mansion has been taken off at this moment, and the door plaque replaced by a black and gold plaque with "Luoyang Palace" written on it.

killed Dong Zhuo, and Liu Xie proposed to build a mansion for Liu Wei in Chang'an City. Although Liu Wei didn't think that he would live in Chang'an City for too long in the future, rejecting Liu Xie's reward would only make Liu Xie a little suspicious of him. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Liu Wei thanked him for accepting the mansion.

Although Liu Xie has always been a puppet emperor, the financial and manpower of the royal family are not comparable to ordinary eunuchs or wealthy families.

As soon as the mansion was given to Liu Bian, Liu Bian was still wandering on the street, and before he returned to live in the mansion, all the belongings in the mansion were replaced, and even the flowers and plants in the courtyard were pruned by craftsmen.

In front of the main gate of the Luoyang Palace, eight guards wearing red armor stood upright, and when they saw Liu Wei and others returning to the palace, the eight guards bowed in unison.

Surrounded by the soldiers behind Liu Wei, Cai Yong still had a little panic on his face. Everyone knows that Liu Wei hates Dong Zhuo very much. The children of the royal family have always been moody, and now Dong Zhuo is in ambush, and the power is back in the hands of the Han family again, even though he is Liu Bian's father-in-law, Cai Yong still has some confusion in his heart about how Liu Biao will deal with him.

"Settle Cai Zhonglang's next place!" Entering the front yard, Liu Wei turned his head and instructed a personal soldier behind him: "You also know that Zhonglang is the king's father-in-law, so don't slack off." ”

"No!" A pro-soldier responded with a fist, stretched out his hand to Cai Yong and made a gesture of invitation, and said to Cai Yong: "Zhonglang, please come with me!" ”

I wanted to say something more to Liu Bian, but after Liu Bian entered the mansion, he only cared about looking at the pavilions in the front yard of the palace, and didn't pay attention to Cai Yong at all.

"Cai Zhonglang is a little temperamental!" When Cai Yong followed his own soldiers away, Deng Zhan on the side said to Liu Wei: "I was still tied up just now, but now when I go to His Highness's mansion, I have forgotten all of them." ”

"Literati!" Liu Wei put his hands behind his back, smiled slightly, and said to Deng Zhan: "Eat and live well every day, and this king will cold him for a few days, and then talk to him until his arrogance is gone." ”

"Dong Zhuo is atmospheric!" Looking around the front yard of the palace, Liu Wei raised his hand and pointed to the pavilion where the main hall should be located not far away, and said to Deng Zhan: "The ordinary official mansion, the outer courtyard is simple, only the backyard will be extravagant, Dong Zhuo's Xiangguo Mansion, only the outer courtyard is more exquisite than the backyard of the ordinary mansion, I don't know how much people's fat and ointment have been scraped before it has to be built!" ”

It is no wonder that Liu Wei has this feeling, this Luoyang palace is just an outer courtyard, and many pavilions and pavilions have been built, and the buildings and pavilions are connected, which is invisibly revealing a sense of nobility, and the layout of the outer courtyard of another official's house is only used to house servants, servants and guards, which is completely incomparable.

In the courtyard, flowers and plants are planted everywhere, and a pond is dug in the courtyard, and the overall layout is somewhat similar to the backyard of an ordinary mansion.

It may be that Dong Zhuo also knew that there were too many people who wanted to kill him, although the courtyard was full of greenery, there was no forest enough for people to hide, and there were only patches of flower beds and occasionally one or two trees dotted in the flower beds.

"Dong Zhuo probably never imagined until he died that the mansion he built would become the palace of His Royal Highness." Standing behind Liu Bian's side, Deng Zhan looked up at the attic opposite, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Liu Bian: "Dong Zhuo was planning to put His Highness to death that day, but he didn't want everything he collected after his death to be obtained for His Highness. ”

"Where's Jia Xu?" Looking at the pavilion opposite, Liu Wei nodded slowly, expressing his agreement with Deng Zhan's words, and then said to Deng Zhan: "Mr. Deng accompanies this king and goes to meet Jia Xu." ”
