Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 485 Dripping Water (4000)

"Is there such a thing?"

After hearing Zhu Lu's words, the gatekeepers immediately paid more attention to it. After subconsciously taking a look at the thin man tied into a rice dumpling behind Zhu Lu, they immediately cupped their hands and said, "General Zhu, please wait a moment, I'll go in right away." report!"

As they spoke, the leading soldiers turned around and ran into the Wu Mansion to report to Chen Jinshui, who is now the Dubo, and Chen Jinshui went to the backyard to inform Dian Wei of the matter.

Although Dian Wei didn't want Wu Liang to be disturbed when he was resting, but this matter was serious, he naturally couldn't make his own claims, so he had to bite the bullet and knock on Wu Liang's door.

"What happened so early in the morning?"

Wu Liang in the room made a hoarse and tired voice, while rubbing his eyes with dark circles, he moved his legs out from under Bai Jingjing's chest with difficulty.

It wasn't that Wu Liang was in poor health, but that he smiled and said a few words to Bao Rou after he came back, and Bai Jingjing saw it, and the dark but painful and happy days went back and forth, Wu Liang He was even thinking about whether he should move to the Yongqiu military camp for two days, so as to teach himself to rest well, if this continues, it will really kill him.

"My lord, Zhu Lu caught a spy and said that he had been inquiring about you since he arrived in Chenliu the day before yesterday. He didn't dare to interrogate him privately, and he was afraid of delaying your lord's affairs, so he sent it to us early in the morning. "

Dian Wei said truthfully.

"Spy?"

Wu Liang was a little surprised.

After contemplating it carefully, he felt that the spy probably did not come from other forces.

Because the celebration banquet has only ended for a few days, with the speed of information dissemination these years, it is basically impossible to spread it to other forces, and even if it does, it will not be able to respond so quickly.

Except for this celebration banquet, not many people knew him before that. Even the generals under Boss Cao, except for the most core ones, the rest of them just regarded him as a slapstick and The lucky leader of the artisan army didn't take him too seriously.

Even if he was later promoted to General Zhonglang, it was still the same. After all, he did not rely on his military exploits for his superior position. Wu Liang's so-called General Zhonglang was just a "General Secretary Zhonglang" who did not participate in the war and would not directly affect the status of those generals.

So there should be a high probability that they are not from Cao Ying.

After all, it is no longer a matter of a day or two for Wu Liang to become Boss Cao's "popular man".

If the generals of Cao Ying wanted to investigate him, they would have already come to investigate him, so why did they delay their actions until now? This is a bit unreasonable.

So……

Wu Liang thought of Lu Bu.

The two identities of "adopted son" and "son-in-law" can actually be regarded as the same identity. Anyway, they have to call people fathers, and they are not relatives.

Colleagues are enemies, and "adopted son" and "son-in-law" may not be without competition.

Perhaps it was precisely because Wu Liang was robbed of the limelight at the celebration banquet this time, that Wu Liang had already entered Lu Bu's sight, and he knew nothing about Wu Liang before, so he immediately sent someone to investigate, so that To know oneself and the enemy, so as not to teach Wu Liang to be more beautiful than before, and lighten his weight in Boss Cao's heart.

"Um……"

Wu Liang moved and spoke again, and Bai Jingjing woke up. After moaning, she pulled the quilt to cover her snow-white body, and then said sleepily, "Zhu Lu is getting more and more good at being an official. To be able to think about this matter so thoughtfully is simply comprehensive.”

"If he can think of this, he's gone to hell. It's probably taught by the old fox in his family."

Wu Liang snorted and laughed.

The old fox is naturally Zhu Lu's father Zhu Xun.

But Wu Liang didn't mind his cunning and worldly sophistication. As the head of a family in troubled times, how could it be possible to maintain the Zhu family's supremacy in the Chenliu family if he had no means?
What is important is how to maintain a mutually beneficial relationship with such a person.

If it is well maintained, it will be extremely comfortable and at ease to get along with such a person. Just like now, someone will take care of the home for him. If someone with ulterior motives wants to do something, someone will do it in the most timely and appropriate way. His response was even more reassuring than Wu Liang's Huanren army.

"That's right, I'm afraid Zhu Lu can't think so much..."

Bai Jingjing nodded and said.

"Brother Dianwei, please invite Zhu Lu to the living room first, and I will arrive later."

Wu Liang immediately called out to the door, and then patted Bai Jingjing through the quilt, "Okay, you can sleep for a while, I'll go out and have a look."

……

Bao Rou kept guard outside the house, waiting for Wu Liang to get dressed and come out.

Hot water, soap, towels, powdered salt, and a toothbrush have already been delivered to him, so there is no need to say more about the soap. This toothbrush was also taught by Wu Liang recently, and it is made of harder horse hair. The electric toothbrush is easy to use, but it is no worse than ordinary toothbrushes.

The wall has ears.

Wu Liang didn't dare to say anything more to Bao Rou, and went to the living room after washing quietly.

Zhu Lu was waiting inside, while the thin man who was tied into a rice dumpling was held down and knelt on the ground, just waiting for Wu Liang to come to deal with him.

"Brother Yongkang, you have worked hard. You gave me such a big gift just after you came back from Juancheng. I really don't know how to return the gift. Thank you, thank you very much."

Seeing Zhu Lu, Wu Liang politely greeted him first.

"Whatever you talented brother said, it's just a matter of effort."

Zhu Lu hurriedly got up and cupped his hands and said, "My father said, I am able to have today thanks to the support of talented brother. Talented brother is not only my nobleman, but also the nobleman of our Zhu family. If I can't do this little thing for me If you have a talented brother to share, then you will not know how to face the talented brother in the future."

No need to guess, these words must have been taught by the old fox of the Zhu family, Zhu Lu couldn't say such a level word.

"Hahaha, we are each other's nobles, and that's why Yongkang Xiandi can catch this person. If it's someone else, I'm afraid we might not be able to meet him."

Wu Liang laughed.

While talking.

The lean man who was pressed to the ground unconsciously raised his head and glanced at Wu Liang.

As the target person of this investigation, he should at least know Wu Liang's name, so when he heard the word "talented", he already knew Wu Liang's identity.

"What are you looking at, be honest!"

The servant of the Zhu family next to him immediately kicked the thin man and shouted sharply.

"..."

The thin man immediately glared at the servant, with resentment and disdain in his eyes.

It seems that this is still a tough bone, and under such circumstances, he dared to blow his beard and stare.

"Hehe, you still dare to stare at me, are you tired of living?"

That servant obviously had some status in Zhu's house, so he raised his foot and wanted to kick him away. The servants next to him were already gearing up and ready to attack.

"Okay, okay, stop beating, look at how you beat people up, if you beat me again, the blood will flow on my ground, and I will have to trouble my beauties to come and clean it."

Wu Liang stood up and persuaded.

The voice just fell.

"General Wu forgives the crime, the villain made a mistake, the villain is guilty!"

The servants of the Zhu family who were arrogant and domineering one second, turned into a set of obedient cards in the next second, bowing down to Wu Liang to apologize to Wu Liang.

Apparently these domestic servants had also been warned by Zhu Xun, each and every one of them regarded Wu Liang as the villain of the Zhu family, and did not dare to disobey in the slightest. It might even be possible for them to rely on these two extremely ordinary words just now by Wu Liang. Incur punishment, and it is not a light punishment, otherwise these domestic servants have no culture and accomplishment, and they are used to being arrogant at ordinary times. How could they be so docile to an outsider like a mouse seeing a cat, let alone in their own son? before.

"It's okay, you go down first."

Wu Liang waved his hands and said generously, "Dianwei, go and inform Chen Jinshui that these brothers from Zhu's mansion have worked hard to bring people to our mansion, and ask him to fetch some cloth to reward these brothers. They drink."

"I can't, I can't, General Wu, I'm just following orders..."

Hearing these words, several servants showed joy immediately, but backed away humbly while duplicity, and looked at Zhu Lu's eyes at the same time.

"Brother talented..."

Zhu Lu subconsciously stepped forward to persuade him.

"Brother Yongkang, this is my sympathy for these brothers, don't back down anymore, it's a joke for outsiders."

Wu Liang smiled.

"This... well, why don't you guys thank General Wu!"

Zhu Lu hesitated for a moment, but Wu Liang was not as eloquent after all, so he nodded.

How did he know that Wu Liang was actually just trying to win over these servants.

Regardless of the fact that Zhu's family has a great career, in Chenliu it can be said that they can cover the sky with one hand, but it is these servants who really work underground and pass on the younger brothers.

If the Zhu family is a local snake, then they are the fangs and letter sons of the local snake.

These people also remembered Wu Liang's kindness, and passed on the benefits of serving Wu Liang to each other, so when Wu Liang was not in Chenliu, the Zhu family was the umbrella of Wu Liang's family members from top to bottom, like an iron bucket Safety.

"Thank you, General Wu! Thank you, General Wu!"

Several servants simply knelt on the ground to express their gratitude, and then retreated happily.

Wait for these servants to go out.

Wu Liangcai looked at the thin man again, then grinned and smiled at him, showing his white teeth: "I don't teach people to torture you, I just thought of a more fun and exciting way, I hope you can hold on longer, Mo To teach me to be disappointed."

"?"

The thin man raised his head again and looked at Wu Liang suspiciously.

"Have you heard of dripping water?"

Wu Liang smiled, seeing that the thin man was still puzzled, and then said, "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, you will know how powerful it is after a while..."

"I've heard it, I've heard it! You talented brother, I've really heard of this water dripping!"

As a result, Zhu Lu took over the words with excitement on his face, and said carefully, "It is said that the water dripping punishment was created by King Zhou, and he borrowed the principle of water dripping through stones to tie people up first." After fixing it, get a clay pot filled with water and put it on top of the head, let the water drip down evenly and hit the eyebrows, just drop by drop until the person's head is dripped...Ah! Talented brother, this?"

Having said that, Zhu Lu suddenly froze, and looked at Wu Liang with some apprehension.

Although this guy used to be domineering in Yongqiu by relying on his family background, he actually led a group of servants to forcefully collect the rent. He belongs to the kind of master who is strong on the outside and soft on the inside. Where has he ever seen such a cruel battle when he opened his mouth?
"Brother Yongkang is right. The water punishment is like this. Although the sentence is a little longer, it is more exciting than enough."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

In fact, dripping water torture is very difficult to kill people alive, because no one can persist until the day when the head is dripped through. This torture is the second most harmful to the body, and the psychological torture is the most terrifying.

This is the true meaning of wanting to die but not being able to survive. Such a long-term destruction of willpower, the tortured person will never reach the day of death, or even the day of skin ulceration, and will go crazy... If you use Ice water is naturally more exciting, but Wu Liang knows how to make ice cubes, not to mention mere ice water.

"..."

Zhu Lu didn't know how to answer the words for a while, he was secretly glad that he became Wu Liang's brother, instead of having a bigger conflict with Wu Liang when he first came to Yongqiu.

"..."

The lean man was also speechless.

As soon as Wu Liang opened his mouth, he was tortured so frighteningly, it really scared him.

But at the same time, the thin man felt that something was wrong, as if something important had been forgotten, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Brother Yongkang, I'm going to prepare to start the execution. This punishment won't be interesting for a while, why don't you go back first and come back to watch after half a month?"

Seeing that Zhu Lufei kept swallowing without speaking, Wu Liang knew that this move had caused him discomfort, so he just took advantage of the situation and sent him away, since there was no outsider around him to handle things.

"Yes, yes, that foolish brother will stop bothering me, and I will come to find you talented brother for a drink some other day."

As if being pardoned, Zhu Lu said hastily.

"Then I won't go out to see you off."

Wu Liang smiled.

"No need, brother talented, get busy first."

After saying this, Zhu Lu left the living room as if fleeing, and led the servants who were waiting in the outer courtyard to walk towards the outside of the Wu residence.

At the same time, Dian Wei just came back.

Wu Liang didn't even look at the skinny man, and then he said to Dian Wei: "Brother Dian Wei, you ask a few people to go to the backyard to erect a pole, and find me a clay pot, I will be of great use." .”

"promise!"

Dian Wei seldom said much, and went to do as soon as he answered.

at this time.

"W-wait a minute!"

The thin man suddenly opened his mouth, and said to Wu Liang with a gloomy and panicked face, "This is General Wu, right? Why don't you act according to common sense at all? Normally, you should have caught the spy." Interrogate the spies first, and then go to prison if you can't find out?"
