Han emperor system

Chapter 257
As soon as Dong Zhuo returned to the backyard, a beautiful concubine complained to him immediately. Dong Zhuo frowned. After thinking about it carefully, the voice he heard last night seemed to be somewhat similar to Li Ru's, so he couldn't help but become suspicious.

"Master, in the afternoon, I heard Sister Hua teasing the eldest son-in-law on the other side of the rockery. She also said that she was going to marry her as the main wife. It seemed that everything in the Dong family would belong to him soon. The servants were afraid and didn't go to disturb them, and they didn't dare to tell you until the master came back."

Soon, another beautiful concubine came to complain, but what he said was Li Ru and another beautiful concubine, and what he said was serious, which made Dong Zhuo's doubts even deeper.

That night, Lu Bu, Li Su and others who also lived in the prime minister's mansion all vaguely heard the voices of men and women teasing. Everything they said was outrageous.

"Does this bastard Li Ru really dare to hook up with those women? Could it be that they think that I am old and like young ones? But this matter can't be publicized. Let's observe and see if Li Ru is really such a bastard. account?"

After listening to the complaints of several people, Dong Zhuo immediately felt that something was a little strange. He would not easily believe what these women said, but he had some doubts about what he heard last night, so he didn't go to bed until midnight that night, and it was with The concubine he suspected the most slept with.

But in the middle of the night, he heard a faint voice again, but it came from the other side, and he heard Li Ru's laughter clearly, and he said to the woman, "The matter is done, and we can do it soon." We are together in a fair and honest manner" and the like, and the woman also yelled that Dong Zhuo was old and useless and not as good as Li Ru, which made Dong Zhuo furious when he heard it, but they still ran away when he went back to look for it.

The next day, Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru where he went last night with a stern face, but Li Ru replied a little strangely: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has been resting in his room last night, and there is nowhere."

Dong Zhuo glanced at him, and then waved him to go down, but he became more suspicious in his heart, he didn't want to go up to court, he simply ran to the backyard and searched the rooms of the concubines, but found nothing abnormal , but this made him even more suspicious.

At noon, Li Su and Hua Xiong received a report from their subordinates at the same time, saying that one of Li Ru's confidants had disappeared for a few days, and when he came back to have dinner with them, he revealed one thing, that is, he served Li Ru He ordered him to go back to Xiliang City to do one thing, and it was a big one, and he proudly told others that his status would be greatly improved in the future, and asked them to join Mr. Li Ru as soon as possible.

The two were shocked when they heard the news, and went to see Dong Zhuo at the same time, and told Dong Zhuo about the matter. Dong Zhuo immediately asked them to find Li Ru's subordinates for questioning, but the man disappeared and could not be found. .

However, the steward of the prime minister's mansion reported that not long ago Li Ru had sent someone to Xiliang to send some things back. Since it was sent by his own cronies, the steward did not ask much, but only knew about such a thing.

Li Su and Hua Xiong then hesitantly told Dong Zhuo what they had heard in the past few nights, and also told him that many people in the mansion had heard it, which made Dong Zhuo furious.

In the evening, the messenger sent by the Dong family in Xiliang arrived and reported to Dong Zhuo the news that Mrs. Li, Dong Zhuo’s eldest daughter, had been poisoned to death. Dong Zhuo was furious and sent someone to arrest Li Ru:
"You bastard, it's in vain that I treat you so well, and even seduce my concubine. Now I understand what you have said these past few nights. It turns out that you are going to poison your ex-wife , and kill me, right, and then you can seize the opportunity to capture the army of Xiliang and become the new master of Xiliang."

"Father-in-law, you are wronged, my son-in-law has never done anything, trust me."

"Bastard, now that your wife is dead, you poisoned it yourself. You sent someone to send some fresh fruit back to her, and then poisoned the fruit. These things are already clear. Don't tell me Still wronged you?"

"Father-in-law, this must be someone else's trick. You have to trust my son-in-law. I guess this may be a trick used by the court. They are afraid of you, father-in-law, so they want to use tricks to kill my son-in-law. This will weaken the If you lose your strength, my lord, it will ruin your great affairs."

Li Ru's words really made Dong Zhuo hesitate for a while, because he knew that the absence of Li Ru would have a great impact on his layout, but Li Su, Hua Xiong and others next to him would not miss this opportunity to attack Li Ru.

"Master Prime Minister, now that the facts are all there, how can we allow him to quibble? Not only the servants in the mansion, but even the people in the restaurants and teahouses in Luoyang City are talking about what happened in the Prime Minister's mansion. What is the shame of your lord? "

"That's right, Prime Minister, a bastard like him even poisoned his own wife to death, I'm afraid you will be the next one to be poisoned by him, you must not believe his words."

Under the urging of Li Su, Hua Xiong and others, Dong Zhuo was furious at first, thinking that Li Ru had killed his daughter, and was going to murder him with his concubine to seize power, so he suddenly became angry. Pulling the sword forward, he stabbed Li Ru in the chest.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law has never done anything wrong to you, you will definitely regret it." Li Ru smiled unwillingly before he died, but it didn't help, and he died in the end.

"Father, after this incident, I'm afraid the prestige of the mansion will be greatly affected. My son, I ask my father to allow me to lead the army to fight against the remaining Yellow Turban thieves everywhere, so as to strengthen the prestige of my prime minister's mansion." Lu Bu didn't care about Li Ru's life or death, but He once again brought up the matter of leading troops to suppress bandits.

"That's fine, Hua Xiong stays in Luoyang, Li Su returns to Xiliang to pass orders to destroy the Li family, send troops everywhere to wipe out the remaining Yellow Turban bandits, and leave the army under Lu Bu's command."

Dong Zhuo thought about it, and felt that his prestige had been hit by this matter, so he accepted Lu Bu's suggestion and sent an army of about 7 people from Xiliang to various places to conquer the remaining Yellow Turban thieves, hoping to restore his reputation.

"Haha, Li Ru is finally dead. Now Xiliang's army and horses are empty, and the next step can be implemented." The young emperor Liu Bian laughed loudly in the forbidden palace. He has received the system's reminder that this temporary task will be completed soon. Now, and his other plans can be carried out.
