Chapter 044: Confession of the same party, exposed
"Blame the good guys?"
Lu Bu snorted coldly, saying in his heart that it didn't look like it, and then asked with a dark face: "Since Yuanlong managed to save it, why didn't he notify me in time, but he was imprisoned here like a pig and a dog?" ”
"Didn't the general recognize him, he is like this now, who knows it will be Han Yin?" Chen Deng replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Lu Bu looked Chen Deng up and down, and said in his heart, "Can you still quibble at this time?" Let's see what you say.
"Why do you know now?"
Chen Deng's expression was calm, "It's only because I asked two days ago, so I invited the general to come to the door today, please don't misunderstand our sincerity." ”
"In that case, then open the door and let me take it."
Lu Bu's anger weakened slightly, and seeing that Han Yin in prison was crying and couldn't speak, he said in his heart that he would take it back and ask.
"Wen Hou commanded, how could he not obey? It's just that this place is dim and cramped, so please take a step to speak first. Chen Qi stretched out his hand and pointed out the door.
Lu Bu walked out of the cell with a black face, turned around and frowned and asked, "Doctor, do you have anything to say?" ”
"Yuan Shu has just been proclaimed emperor in Shouchun, and Wen Hou is in a hurry to marry him, I don't know what you think of the surrounding situation?"
Chen Jue looked at Lu Bu with a smile, as if he didn't notice the other party's gloomy face.
"Huainan is now full of soldiers and food, and Bu and Yuan Highway have formed a marriage, and it will not be a problem to fight Cao Cao in the future, so what can I say?"
Lu Bu spread his hands, his face full of indifference.
Chen Qi stroked his beard and laughed: "Haha, Wen Hou and Yuan Shu against Cao Cao? Have you forgotten what the old man said that day? It's really a dead end. ”
"Doctor, reading your birthday today, if you talk nonsense again, don't blame Lu Bu for being rude."
Seeing that Lu Bu was angry, Chen Qi calmly replied: "There are no two days in the sky, there are no two monarchs in the country, the son of heaven of the Han family is now in Xudu, Yuan Shu said that the emperor is the way to die, and the princes of the world will ask for it, Wen Hou does not immediately draw a line with him, but marries a daughter and marries in the same stream, isn't it a self-defeating way?" ”
"The Han family is declining, the world is in chaos, the princes and heroes are all speaking with strength, Huainan has a large population, strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient grain and grass, so what if they usurp the throne and become the emperor? Who would dare to brush the tiger's whiskers easily? ”
"Haha, this statement is fallacious, can Wen Hou know that during the period when Yuan Shu was emperor, Sun Ce under his command has been reversed?"
Lu Bu was taken aback when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Sun Ce is reversed? Impossible, right? ”
"I heard that General Qin has returned, but he didn't tell Wen Hou about it? Not only did Sun Ce openly rebel in Huiji, but his uncle Wu Jing and his brother Sun Ben all abandoned their official homes and defected, and now half of them in Yangzhou are not surnamed Yuan. Chen Qi laughed heartily.
Lu Bu was stunned and silent, but in his heart he scolded Qin Yilu for not doing business, and he didn't report such important news.
Chen Qi took advantage of Lu Bu's contemplation and continued to add: "Sun Ce is loyal to the Son of Han and seeks rebellion, the general of the Yuan Shu Department is still so sober, why is Wen Hou so confused? ”
"Although the doctor is in Xuzhou, he knows everything about Huainan, which is really not simple..."
Lu Bu stared at Chen Qi with empty eyes, questioning the authenticity of the news both inside and outside his words.
Chen Deng hurriedly accosted: "General Rongyu, since the incident of the burning of the ship in Surabaya, we have sent people to find the whereabouts of Uncle Cong, and we have not been contacted until recently. ”
"What do you want to say about your father and son, who have brought me here today?"
Lu Bu's mind was in a mess at this time, and he didn't know the intentions of the Chen family's father and son at all.
Chen Deng arched his hand and said: "After checking with Uncle Cong, he did not attack Yuan Shu's grain ship, so I am afraid that the fire in Surabaya that day was caused by others." ”
"Others? Who? ”
Lu Bu's heart sank, and he secretly said If it weren't for Chen Yu, wouldn't the 100,000 grains from the Chen family want to find me to go back?
How can you spit out something that you eat in your stomach?
Chen Deng's face was full of seriousness, and he added: "My father and I have carefully considered it, and we think that Yuan Shu is the most likely. ”
"How is that possible? Yuan Shu is not crazy, how can he burn the grain ship by himself? This doesn't make sense. ”
Lu Bu thought that Chen Deng was joking, but when he saw the other party's serious appearance, he didn't think it was a joke, and said in his heart that if Yuan Shu was not crazy, then your father and son were crazy.
Chen Deng shook his head and sneered: "Although Huainan has enough soldiers, Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui fought against Huaiyin in the front, and Ji Ling led the army to attack Xiaopei in the back, and every time the army was moved, there were 100,000 people, and tens of thousands of grain and grass were consumed, and no matter how solid the family background was, it couldn't withstand it..."
"Yuan Long's reasoning, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince me..."Lu Bu shook his head with a humble eye.
Chen Deng was unhurried and continued to add: "The general should still have the impression that Yuan Shu asked Han Yin to come to the matchmaker not long after he was hired last year, and he secretly sent Ji Ling to attack Xiaopei.
In a hurry, it is not so easy to raise more than 100,000 or 200,000 grains, even Huainan, right?
Yuan Shu may have married to stabilize the general in order to deal with Liu Bei, and the grain ship escorted by Long Xiang may be empty. ”
"Is there any evidence?"
Lu Bu frowned, Chen Deng's words made huge waves in his heart, but he couldn't find a flaw in logic.
"Wen Hou might as well ask Han Yin? He should be emotionally stable now, Yuan Shu's people are always convincing, right? ”
Chen Jue, who was listening, suddenly interjected and pointed to the cell with his finger.
"Huh?"
Lu Bu was slightly stunned, and then followed with doubts.
Chen Deng patted the fence and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Han, tell the general the truth about what you have done, and I will reward you with a pound of mutton." ”
"A pound? Mutton? Han Yin's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Lu Bu behind him had a gloomy face, and said in his heart, Chen Deng, you are so bold, you actually coerced and lured me in front of me.
Lu Bu frowned and reminded: "Han Yin, tell the truth, I will call the shots for you, you don't have to be afraid." ”
I... I..."Han Yin looked at Chen Deng, glanced at Lu Bu carefully, and finally seemed to accept his fate, he lowered his head and whispered: "The lord sent me to Xiapi to say goodbye..."
Han Yin found wealth from the dowry, specially selected his accomplice Long Xiang, and sent the appointment to cut off the beard, and spit it out like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
Lu Bu's eyes widened when he heard this, he didn't expect Han Yin and the young general Long Xiang to be bolder than the other, to the point of incredible.
"Are you making up a story? Or did someone teach you to say that? ”
Lu Bu looked at Chen Deng as he spoke, and he still didn't believe it after thinking about it.
"No, no, no, it's really true, but if you say half a word wrong, discipline my whole family... Eat to death..."
During Han Yin's imprisonment, he tasted hunger, so he swore poison very well.
While Lu Bu was thinking, Chen Deng reminded again: "Mr. Han's words should be true, his entourage was also 'rescued' at that time, and at this time he was in the courtyard southeast of Xiapi, and the testimony on both sides was completely consistent, and he could take the general to verify it later." ”
Lu Bu swallowed his saliva, now that he had a witness, he was no longer calm, he leaned forward and asked, "That fire in Surabaya was set by Long Xiang?" I'm curious about one thing now, how did he get away with 100,000 grains? How many people are helping him sell his stolen goods? ”
"At that time, we were separated in Shouchun, and Long Xiang led his troops to Lujiang to supervise the loading of grain, as for how to get it, I really don't know, but I don't believe he would be so bold, after all, he is only sixteen years old..."Han Yin shook his head painfully.
