The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 408
"Cousin-in-law, did you hear the little girl crying?"

The expression of the young soldier tossing around in the study changed slightly, and he asked about the guy who was still wandering around.

When the middle-aged soldier heard the words, he stopped his hands and listened, but he couldn't hear anything except the noise outside the house.

He curled his lips and snorted: "There is no crying, I'm afraid your ears are hallucinating."

After finishing speaking, the young soldier who was too lazy to get a haircut continued to grope around on the bookshelves in the house.

The young soldier leaned against the wall and listened, but seemed to have lost his voice again.

In the past few days, he has copied thousands of households, seen life and death, and heard children crying.

Auditory hallucinations are also normal.

Even when he was sleeping, he dreamed several times that someone came to claim his life.

Thinking of this, the young man sighed: "Oh, it's also a crime. If Luoyang City is a good one, it must be made into a miasma."

"You two dawdled, have you finished searching?" the man in charge of the capital outside asked loudly.

"I'm coming."

The middle-aged soldier agreed loudly, looked back at the room, took his little cousin with him, and left the study.

The soldiers in the search mansion came out one after another and reported to Jian Shuo, but they found nothing.

Song Xian heaved a sigh of relief. At that time, after watching Yan Wei lead the young master into the secret passage, he said cruelly to the servant girls: "Who dares to say that the madam is still in the mansion, she will be killed without mercy!"

At the same time, he was also prepared for the worst. If his wife was unfortunately found, he would not be able to watch the general's wife and daughter being taken away.

When the time comes, they can only silence all these people with ruthless hands, and then escort his wife, Young Master, to escape outside the city through a secret passage.

After the last group of soldiers came to report to Jian Shuo, the Captain Zuo frowned obviously, thinking with his chin: Could it be that he is really not in the mansion?

No one could be found, and Jian Shuo couldn't find a reason to play it up, so he could only hum, shake his sleeves, and leave with his soldiers.

After Jian Shuo left, Zhao Shu and others hurriedly took his wife and young master out of the secret passage.

Song Xian went to Cui's mansion in the south of the city. Before leaving, Xi Ce said that if you encounter trouble, you can go to Cui's house to discuss with Cui Xu.

That night, after Zhang Rang learned what happened during the day, his old face was almost so gloomy that water dripped out.In vain of his orders, Jian Shuo was so courageous that he would openly disobey his orders.

This little Huangmen, who used to please him so much in the past, now, relying on the aura of the emperor, has completely ignored him.

What a villain!

Zhang Rang was so angry that he called Jian Shuo and gave him a severe reprimand.

On the surface, Jian Shuo nodded and bowed, saying that he knew his mistake and repented, but in his heart he held a grudge.

Today's Zhang Rang can no longer take action against Jian Shuo. First, the emperor entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. Second, in the hands of the current eunuchs, there is only Jian Shuo, a team that can command.

If Jian Shuo is abolished, they will not even have a decent army in the future.

In the past, they called the wind and the rain, relying on the favor of the emperor.

But what if the emperor falls?
Zhang Rang hadn't thought about this kind of thing before, but now, he had to think about it.

The next day, outside Qiquan Palace, courtiers knelt on the ground.

"Oh, my lords, don't be so stubborn. His Majesty won't see you, so go back." The old eunuch, who was still furious last night, now changed into his usual kind smile.

"Your Majesty won't see us, and the veteran will kneel until His Majesty is willing to see you." The number one minister who led all the officials here was Taiwei Cui Lie, who was instigated by Cui Xu.

A few days ago, Situ Xu Xiang, who was confronting the emperor tit for tat in the court, had been dismissed from office and demoted to a common man.

Cui Lie knew what would happen if he offended the emperor, but he still came.What my nephew Cui Xu said was right, if he, as the third prince, dared not speak out, then who else in the court would dare to speak out?Then you can only watch the people in the city, their families ruined and their families destroyed.

So he came, even if he was dismissed from the position of Taiwei, he would persuade the emperor to stop this inhuman killing.

However, the emperor seemed to have anticipated today's situation a long time ago, and he let out his words early. In recent days, no one has been seen.

When the officials kneel down, it lasts four hours.

From early morning to kneeling until dusk.

Many elderly officials fainted one after another due to lack of physical strength, and were carried to the Taiyi Hall for treatment and rest.

Even so, the emperor still had no intention of seeing them.

"Prince Minister, I trouble you to be more accommodating." Cao Song, who was the chief minister at the time, pulled Zhang Rang to a corner and handed him a round white jade bead.

He is the adopted son of the former Chief Qiu Caojie, and he has some relationship with the eunuch.

At that time, his son Cao Cao was young and vigorous, relying on the courage of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, he had a conflict with Shi Changshi, and it was Cao Song who settled the matter with money.

When Cao Song was an official, he was not like other people. He didn't want to gain fame and prestige. He was an official for two words: earning money.

Relying on his position in the ruling and opposition parties, Cao Song used his power to guide him.Soon, the Cao family became a tycoon on the wealthy side.

He didn't want to come to this muddy water today, but he had to.Ding's daughter-in-law is already nine months pregnant, and will give birth in about twenty days.

According to the physiognomy, his grandson was destined to be a great man in the future.

When Cao Song learned about it, he was naturally very happy. He even asked someone to choose a name, called Cao Pi.

However, at this juncture, the emperor actually began to massacre pregnant women in the north of the city.Although Cao's mansion lives in the south of the city, who knows if the emperor will turn his attention to the south of the city after finishing the north of the city.

Cao Song was both happy and sad.

Happily, the grandson is about to die, and the rise of the Cao family may be in the generation of the grandson.But he was very worried, wondering if the emperor would let his grandson come to this world safely.

So when Cao Song learned that Cui Lie organized hundreds of officials to speak up to prevent the emperor from killing again, he joined in without hesitation.

Zhang Rang took out the bead and glanced at it. The greed revealed in his eyes was obviously quite satisfactory. Even if he spent millions of dollars, he might not be able to buy this kind of round Western Region Bailong bead.

"Since Da Si Nong is interested, our family will go there for you. You wait here, we can't guarantee whether it will work or not." Zhang Rang said the ugly words first.

"In that case, there will be Lao Dachang serving." Cao Song replied with a bow.

Qiquan Palace was originally a place where the emperor recuperated and rested.But in recent days, the emperor almost always reviewed the memorials here, and never summoned his concubines to favor him. Even Empress He, who was most loved by the emperor, was refused to leave the palace several times.

Zhang Rang pushed open the door and entered. Liu Hong picked up a pen and was circling a topographic map of Sili. When he saw Zhang Rang coming in, he asked him without raising his head: "Those old ministers left?"
