Chapter 344 Planting the seeds
Diao Chan woke up, and for Lu Bu, he was like a magpies on the branch. He hurriedly finished a backlog of official documents and instructions, put on a brand new blue fur, and came to visit him. But what he unexpectedly was that he was turned away, or he didn't find Diao Chan at all. Where did Diao Chan go? He asked in a deep voice, but his servant told Diao Chan to leave a sentence: Everyone dared to save his life. Now he took care of it and left in a hurry.
This time Lu Bu discovered something important: Diao Xiu'er is gone! Diao Xiu'er was the key figure in the palace's sudden change that night. When he took Diao Xiu'er away, he had already thought about returning it to him, giving those pedantic and stubborn ministers a step. It was thought that the relationship between the two parties would not be too stiff. But Diao Chan's actions made him passive. His face was gloomy and sunny. He wanted to order people to recover Diao Xiu'er, but he didn't want Diao Chan to think that he wanted to bind her freedom. In the end, his guilt towards Diao Chan still had the upper hand, and he suppressed the idea of chasing Diao Xiu'er.
Unable to see Diao Chan, Lu Bu could only return to his study to continue fighting against the mountain-stacked official documents. He is now the soul of Luoyang City. It can be said that many major issues need to be investigated by Lu Bu. Of course, he could hand over all the official documents to Chen Gong, a trustworthy adviser, but Lu Bu thought deeply and trusted others with appropriate means. Although Chen Gong is reliable, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have any other thoughts for a long time. Therefore, Lu Bu often only handed over a part of his official documents, which not only showed trust but also showed Lu Bu's diligent behavior.
After a large batch of people until noon, Diao Chan did not come back. He used some rice and continued to join in.
Until the night was approaching and Lu Bu was worried about Diao Chan whether he had met a person who was not eyebrow, Diao Chan returned slowly with six close-knit guards.
"Diao Chan, where have you been? Are you having fun today?" Lu Bu asked with concern.
"Fun? Mr. Lu is so heartless! Xiu'er just came back from the Ghost Gate!" Diao Chan's face turned aside and said with displeasure.
"Xiu'er?" Lu Bu was surprised: Isn't it Chang'er or Chan'er? It seemed that he could see Lu Bu's surprise. Diao Chan explained lightly: In order to save me, Diao Xiu'er's sister had no peace even after her death. I have already formed a golden orchid with her under the sky. I am my sister, and she is my sister! Since some of the blood flowing on my body is hers, I will live bravely on behalf of Xiu'er's sister in the future. The surname Ren is the father's surname, and I dare not change it easily, but the name is obtained the day after tomorrow. Please ask Mr. Lu to call me Ren Xiu'er!!!
"Where is Diao Xiu'er?" Lu Bu didn't mind seeing Diao Chan's cold attitude.
"Of course I've been buried! Sister Xiu'er, she's reborn in the next life, don't meet you, the unfaithful person!" Diao Chan said coldly.
Lu Bu smiled embarrassedly: What are your plans in the future?
"Xiu'er has visited Dr. Hua and Dr. Zhang today, thanked them for saving their lives, and begged the two doctors to accept me as their disciples. Dr. Zhang was still considering it, Dr. Hua agreed on the spot. I chatted with my master for a long time, and felt that Master is worthy of being the holy heart of a doctor. After this matter, Xiu'er decided to travel around the world with Master to save lives and help the wounded. If you can save one, save one!" Diao Chan touched her long hair back, raised her head, and said with longing.
"What?" Lu Bu was shocked! Doctor Hua, you really know how to choose your apprentice!
"I've been tired for a day and sleepy. Please don't leave too much!" Diao Chan Yingying bowed, then left a gust of fragrant wind and hurriedly left!
“……………” Lu Bu
…………
On the 20th day of the first lunar month of the third year of Zhongping, the sky is cloudy.
At the entrance of Caishi in the east of the city, the surging crowds were like waves, setting off the platform of hundreds of meters in radius like an isolated island. The people below included old men, women, and young children, but without exception, everyone stared at the seven figures disheveled from their heads and hair on the stage, kneeling on the ground, wearing shackles. These seven people were the seven regular attendants who could stop their children from crying at night and were full of fierce flames. Except for the three regular attendants who died because of participating in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Battle for the Throne, they could not miss each other. But today, it was not that they were arrogant, disturbing the court and being proud of themselves, but that they were like losing their parents, having no desire to live, waiting for trial!
This is a special trial. Almost all the important officials of the court, who were old and unable to walk, were invited by Lu Bu. Yes, Lu Bu asked them to watch the show and watch a real good show. Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun and other important officials sat upright on the prison stage according to their status, sitting upright. They secretly guessed in their hearts what Lu Bu had intended to invite them solemnly. After all, if they were ten regular attendants without a backer, they were just a group of toothless mice, an ordinary executioner. The soldiers were enough to kill them. It didn't matter whether they were important officials or not, but Lu Bu suddenly announced that he wanted to be the deceased officer and asked all the important officials to come and watch the ceremony. Therefore, all the important officials came. Of course, there were many officials with insufficient official positions and poor connections waiting outside the deceased area to watch the ceremony. They came uninvited just to see if they had the opportunity to get involved with those important officials. Even nodding was enough to make them excited.
"What does the important officials on the stage mean when the champion Hou invites them to come to? Does anyone know?"
"I don't know. Perhaps it was because of the fact that there was a grudge between Mr. Lu and Zhang Rang back then. Today, he finally defeated the Ten Generals. The great revenge was avenged. He was proud and asked the important officials to watch the ceremony!"
"Hmph, you think the champion Hou is only focused on this. Don't compare your stupidity with the champion Hou's deep worries!"
"I'm stupid, you're smart! In your opinion, what does the Champion Hou mean?" "Haha, it's not easy to see that even the fools can see that the Champion Hou is killing the chicken to warn the monkey!" "Who is the chicken and who is the monkey?" "Don't argue with each other, you'll know if you keep watching!"
Many people whispered and many people were urging each other, which was really lively.
As noon approached, Lu Bu waved his hand in front of the supervisory desk, and a civil servant read out the crimes of Zhang Rang and others in a scattered manner.
"Disaster chaos: Nangong was fire. Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others advised the Han emperor to order the collection of ten cents per mu of land tax for the world to build palaces. The wood and patterned stones from Taiyuan, Hedong and Didao counties were transferred. Whenever the prefectures and counties sent these things to the capital, the Huangmen always ordered to condemn those who were not qualified to transport wood and stones, and forced to discount and buy them at a low price, and only one cent was given ten cents, and they sold it to eunuchs. The eunuchs did not accept it immediately, and the wood was piled up and rotten, and the palace could not be repaired for years. The governor and the prefect privately increased the number of recruits, and the people were screaming and sighing, and they were miserable..."
"Falsifying the Minister..."
“…………”
The crimes made many ordinary people who were just watching the fun suddenly realize that the people who had hated the Ten Eunuchs knew why they hated them from the bottom of their hearts. They all seemed to see the most filthy rats, without any concealing their contempt.
Lu Bu watched this scene. To be honest, he did not sympathize with these ordinary people because they always lived too cautiously, dared not resist when encountering powerful people, dared not protest when encountering natural disasters, and swallowed their anger when encountering oppression. The people of this era have too many obedience and too many slaves. In the face of powerful people, even when they are alive, some people will choose to starve to death without daring to resist.
He could not imagine in history when the arrogant Dong Zhuo chose to burn the entire Luoyang city, when the vast millions of people were forced to leave their hometowns by more than 100,000 soldiers, like pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, and had to abandon everything, when they migrated in a humiliation, why did there not even be a slight large-scale protest in history books? Is their bloodline eaten by the thousands of years of Confucianism, and whether they were brainwashed by the emperor's thousands of years of power?
However, Lu Bu wanted to sow a seed today, a shadow of unyielding fear among the people of the Chinese imperial capital. Even if this seed is just a dead seed that will not bear fruit, he also wanted to try it out!
Lu Bu suddenly stood up, looked around and said loudly: I am Lu Bu, please remember this name, everyone! When you are in deep waters and indignant one day, when you have to leave your hometown one day, when you need someone to uphold justice for you one day, you are welcome to come and find me at any time. Remember, my name is Lu Bu!
"I believe that many of the people here come here with the mood of watching the fun, but I want to tell you that the crimes of the Ten Eternal Service can be said to be closely related to you!"
"So, I hereby declare that if you have revenge and complain, today, no one is guilty!"
Lu Bu bowed deeply to the complicated people below the stage, and then he didn't say a word. Then many ministers including Lu Zhi and Zhu Ye saw that the walls of officers and soldiers who maintained order were cleared out, and only the seven lonely servants were alone.
Gradually, there were sounds of swallowing saliva outside the platform. The big figures like the Ten Eternal Assassins who were only looked up to by them in the past were actually handed over to the civilians to execute. This is true or false. Many people's eyes became more and more dangerous and unscrupulous. It was confirmed that all the officers and soldiers holding cold weapons had really withdrawn. Finally, the resentful people shouted: You have ruined my family and killed you!
After saying that, he climbed onto the platform and rushed towards the Qi Changshi. The man's words suddenly boiled and added fuel to the oil. Many people who were disgusted with the Qi Changshi and extremely hated him roared onto the platform like a tide. The surging crowd rushed to the high platform one by one, and then rushed to the Qi Changshi! They bite with their teeth, kicked with their feet, made with their butts, and slashed with their hands, and looked extremely crazy.
There were crowds of people overseas, and many important officials looked at each other, sweating all over their heads. They were blocked from their sight and could only hear the screams, the roars and the screams inside, which were extremely terrifying, just like seven wild boars being torn into pieces by the most ferocious group of wolves, making everyone shudder!
I don’t know how long it took, but it was not until many important officials felt numb that the surging crowd stopped, and they looked at them with bloodthirsty and cruel eyes. They were always high and arrogant, but they felt like a group of sheep who had taken off their official uniforms, without feeling a trace of security!
Lu Bu stood up again and said coldly: Big revenge must be repaid, how can you live? You are not leaving yet, are you waiting to be arrested and jailed? It has dispersed!
Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun and other famous generals frequently winked Lu Bu, asking him not to stimulate the crowd of thousands of people so much. Who knows if they will be overwhelmed by their fierce riots!
But what shocked them was that the crowd who had originally looked at them with bloodthirsty and cruel eyes gradually softened, and many people even wrote their gratitude on their faces, holding their fists respectfully in the direction of Lu Bu, and leaving with a crazy laugh!
The fierce crowd gradually faded away, turned into silent water, scattered into all streets and alleys. The many important officials then sighed with relief. They had never imagined that the poor people who had thought they could be bullied were so terrifying when they were crazy. After that, they looked at the figure still standing, hoping that he would express his intention to do so.
"It is better to go home to sell sweet potatoes if you don't make decisions for the people! Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat! Dear lords, when you do things for the people, don't forget to touch your conscience first! Otherwise, the next time, the person kneeling on the platform may be him!" Lu Bu pointed to the high platform, his eyes calm.
Many important officials looked at the high platform and saw that there was no trace of human shadow besides a pool of blood and broken clothes. This method of death was a cruel way to kill thousands of people. It made several important officials vomit on the spot, and suddenly, a pungent stench spread out!
Lu Bu sneered and said loudly: The good show has been finished! Shangshu Lu and General Zhu, will you go to the Marquis’ Mansion to have a lecture later?
Chapter completed!
