I really just want to lose my fortune

"Have a safe trip!"

Qin Ge waved his hand to the people over there from a distance.

Immediately, Zhao Yun carried a spear and took the lead, while Qin Ge didn't get into the carriage this time, just sat on the horse, listening to the voices of the people, and gradually left Nanhai County.

Poison

Chapter 249 Li Ru enters Xiliang

One month later, Xiliang.

Dong Zhuo has been very worried recently, he was thinking, how did this news get out?

Regarding the treasure, he thought very well. He and the court had a tacit understanding. The court blocked the news, and then everyone competed together. At that time, each will rely on his own ability to see who can get the treasure.

When the time comes, just push it on the people from the Western Regions, and everything will be fine.

For this matter, Dong Zhuo has prepared many powerful generals.

They are Gao Siji, Shi Jingsi, Shi Jiantang, and Xia Luqi. These four are first-class masters, whether it is leading troops or fighting, they are all first-class.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo also found many rangers to facilitate this matter together.

As a result, the news was leaked, and everyone in the world knew about it, and the court wanted to send the King Zhao, who had been in the limelight recently, to do it.

It was such a mess that Dong Zhuo didn't know what to do.

Really, why don't I have a counselor?

Obviously, Xiliang is too barren, and ordinary scholars are reluctant to come here. It would be nice to have someone working normally, let alone high-end scholars like counselors.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law!"

At this moment, a male voice sounded.

"What's wrong?" Dong Zhuo looked at the door impatiently, and his huge body stood up.

His son-in-law, Niu Fu, rushed into the room where he was, and shouted: "My lord father-in-law, good news, good news!"

"What good thing?" Dong Zhuo asked suspiciously.

"A few days ago, I rescued a down-and-out scholar in Pengyang." Niu Fu swallowed and said.

"Scholar, there are still some scholars here who are willing to come?" Dong Zhuo said with black lines on his face: "After saving, did you take her to see the dancers of the Western Regions, treat her to a drink, and then give me some money?" Let him go? In the end, tell him that if you have the opportunity, you can come to Xiliang to become an official."

It can be said that all the so-called counselors under Dong Zhuo's account came from this way, and they were all unsuccessful scholars.

Say they are useful, a little bit.

Let's say they are useless... They often come up with bad ideas in major matters, and now they are in a state of no leader, and no one will accept anyone.

If a group of powerful counselors refuse to accept each other, it will be a battle of all schools of thought, and a fight between dragons and tigers.

And Dong Zhuo's current counselors are all pecking at each other.

It can be said that Dong Zhuo is the only prince who does not have an SSR in his hands.

However, Xiliang’s military strength is strong, and Dong Zhuo is both the governor and the governor. Once the military and government are arrested, none of the officials sent by the court can survive for three years. Most of them are officials promoted by Dong Zhuo himself.At present, the whole of Xiliang belongs to Dong Zhuo, and his control here is no less powerful than Zhu Di, King of Yan in Youzhou.

"No, he declined the invitation to have a drink together." Niu Fu shook his head and said, "This man is a little strange. After I saved him, he would repay me for everything he said. He just helped me with my official duties... a county with a backlog I have been doing business for a month, and he can handle it in one afternoon."

"Are you serious?" Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up.

"Well, I asked his name at that time, and he said that he was once a conspirator of King Zhao's subordinates. His name was Li Ru, and his character was Wenyou." Niu Fu said.

When Dong Zhuo heard that Zhao Wang's subordinates were plotting again, he immediately looked disappointed.

He thought he had picked up the treasure, but it turned out to be someone from King Zhao. Did he come here to explore the way first?

and many more……

"Was King Zhao's mastermind?" Dong Zhuo confirmed.

"That's right." Niu Fu nodded vigorously.

"Where is the other person, I'll meet him." Dong Zhuo's mind warmed up.

Dong Zhuo suddenly thought of the recent affairs of the court.

Although he basically didn't have many sources of information in Chang'an, he still knew about some major events.

For example, Li Ru under Zhao Wang was dismissed from office!

"Good! I've brought it."

Soon, Niu Fu brought Li Ru to Dong Zhuo.

Li Ru had a haughty expression on his face, as if he didn't take Dong Zhuo seriously at all.

"Bold, you are not polite when you meet my father-in-law!" Niu Fu drew out the knife from his waist and put it on Li Ru's neck.

"The last person who talked to me like this was Wu Yuanshuang." Li Ru's eyes gradually settled on Niu Fu.

"Don't be rude!" Dong Zhuo slapped the table, and the table was split in two, which shows that he is also good at fighting.

When Niu Fu heard this, he quickly put away the knife.

"Get out, get out, I'm annoyed when I see you." Dong Zhuo waved his hand impatiently at Niu Fu.

"Yes, father-in-law."

After seeing Niu Fu leave, Dong Zhuo quickly smiled, stood up, and saluted Li Ru nondescriptly: "Mr. Li?"

"Alas..." Li Ru sighed softly: "It's just a grassroots person, not a gentleman."

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up immediately.

There is a play!

He made up a lot of plots in an instant.

Today's talented people are all proud of their talents, and they look like Lao Tzu is the best in the world.

This scribe followed Zhao Wang, but after Zhao Wang went to Jiaozhou, he was devastated, and he couldn't even keep the official position he had planned under his command, so he might have been disheartened.

"Come here, prepare the banquet!" Dong Zhuo hurriedly said, "Sir, shall we chat while we eat?"

"This... alright." Li Ru sighed again.

Soon, the banquet was set up, and Li Ru just moved his chopsticks a few times before drinking the wine.

"Sir, do you feel uncomfortable staying with the prince?" Dong Zhuo asked tentatively.

"Successful?" Li Ru smiled self-deprecatingly: "Ru is just an outcast."

"When King Zhao entered Handan, I plotted for King Zhao and framed King Yan for rebellion. I blamed Wu Yuanshuang on Wu Yuanshuang, pulled the governor of Jizhou off his horse, and even ordered him to kill everyone. After that, I planned Handan for King Zhao. The aristocratic family has been killed in disorder, and there are not many survivors left."

"The result? In the name of benevolence, he was afraid that things would be revealed, so he was unwilling to protect me, and even wanted to kill me."

"I managed to escape from birth, but I don't know where to go because the world is so big."

Speaking of this, Li Ru's eyes were full of confusion.

Dong Zhuo broke out in a cold sweat.

Whether King Yan conspired to rebel, whether Wu Yuanshuang did it, Qin Ge did it, or King Yan did it, Dong Zhuo's subordinates insisted on their opinions, and no one was sure.

In the end, it turned out to be a scheme set up by the person in front of him?

Just because of what Li Ru said, Dong Zhuo could just kill him and ask the court for credit.

Could it be that this is the legendary... There is nothing greater than death?

"How did you do it?" Dong Zhuo tentatively asked.

He is not a fool either, he cannot believe what others say.

Li Ru didn't care too much, and he told a little bit about how he planned, designed, imitated handwriting, customized armor, and made the court only punish Wu Yuanshuang.

Dong Zhuo's heart was beating thumpingly.

If this trick is used on me, will I be able to avoid it?

That Zhao Wang is really blind, for the sake of a little reputation, he wants to give up such counselors!

That's right, as long as Li Ru is given up, no one will know about the dirty things King Zhao did.

Chapter 250 Dong Zhuo's Plan Again

"Then Mr. came to Xiliang because..." Dong Zhuo tentatively asked.

"I just want to see King Zhao again and ask him why he didn't protect me. Did he send the person who killed me?" Li Ru said softly.

"What if it is, what if it isn't?"

"If it is... so what?" Li Ru smiled wryly: "I am a minister, he is a king, it doesn't matter. If it weren't for King Zhao, how could Confucianism do such a great thing? Scholars die for their confidants. This is Confucianism. It was promised, and now the prince wants Confucianism to die, and Confucianism should not live. When I did that kind of thing myself, I never expected a good end."

"Hey, let me see, Mister doesn't have to think about these things." Dong Zhuo slapped his thigh, and said with a big face: "Since Mister has nowhere to go, why don't you stay with me?"

Dong Zhuo could see that this Li Ru was very different from many normal Confucian scholars.

First of all, he was a member of King Zhao, not the court.

Although everyone is loyal to the imperial court on the surface, the difference is much bigger.

Just like in a company, whether an employee is a person who directly reports to his boss or a member of the company can affect the attitude of his immediate boss to him.

For the sake of King Zhao, Li Ru dared to blame King Yan for rebellion. This is not good, but it will overturn the entire Qin Dynasty!

Moreover, killing so many family members and being Zhao Wang's executioner, this is not the kind of courage that any counselor has.

After all, more people have no way to settle accounts with King Zhao, but can only settle accounts with him, a counselor.

Let Dong Zhuo see, he doesn't know whether Li Ru belonged to Zhao Wang or the remnants of those aristocratic families.

"Ru is just drunk today." Li Ru glanced at Dong Zhuo: "If the governor thinks that I will admit that I have helped King Zhao to do these things, then the governor is very wrong. Even if you tell others about it, you will not Some people will believe that King Zhao is a benevolent king. Confucianism did not leave a way out for himself, and the evidence of what he did back then has already been destroyed."

"If Lord Inspector wants to blackmail King Zhao who is coming here soon, please find another way."

When Dong Zhuo heard this, not only was he not troubled, but he was overjoyed.

This person is really excellent!

Knowing that he is an abandoned son, but still unwilling to betray his former lord, where can he find such a good counselor?

Also, just by his scheme to force Wu Yuanshuang to death, we can see how talented he is.

The reason why you were willing to tell me just now is probably because you have nothing to love in life.

Also, there is no evidence...

Where can I find someone with such clean hands and feet!

"Mr. Li! Zhuo sincerely hopes that Mr. Li can stay." Dong Zhuo said solemnly, "Whether Mr. is willing to serve Zhuo's office or not, Zhuo will treat him as an official of the state! I, Dong Zhuo, can keep those who King Zhao can't keep!"

"This... loyal ministers don't matter to the two masters..." Li Ru frowned.

"Hey, don't worry, Zhuo Jijin Jiliang Zhuo himself knows." Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "I won't force you to admit the master, as long as you are willing to help me with ideas when you are free."

"But you can't involve Zhao Wang, and you can't harm Zhao Wang." Li Ru continued.

"No problem!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand.

His heart is in Chang'an, no matter how powerful King Zhao is, he is just a brat.

Lord, Lord, his status as a prince is considered a bird, how many soldiers and generals does he have?

What is powerful is not Zhao Wang Qin Ge, but the court behind him.

"Okay, then it's settled." Li Rudao: "I still have a disciple who will learn the art of war with me, I don't know..."

"Bring them here together." Dong Zhuo said grandly, "Isn't it just a pair of chopsticks?"

…………

At the same time, Shangdang County, Dingyang.

Wei Zheng looked at the letter in his hand and slowly closed his eyes.

"Mr. Wei, what's the matter?"

Xin Qiji came to Wei Zheng's residence in a hurry, it can be seen that he just came back from outside the city.
