Chapter 016 Li Ru's Doubts

"Wenyou, how about this guy?"

Dong Zhuo sat firmly in the car and asked the scholars around him.

"This son is cunning."

The literati was named Li Ru, whose courtesy name was Wenyou, and made his own judgment on Zhang Liao.

“Why?”

"The governor inspected the counties and counties. Except for the turbid ministers who are known as the pure stream, most of the others are respectful to the governor and flattering, for fear that the governor's assessment will be inferior and will affect the promotion of official positions."

Li Ru smiled and said, "From now on, I can't feel the sincerity. It seems that I am mostly fooling with respect and flattery towards the governor. It also seems that he has a curious and strange feeling about the governor, and even despises him."

Li Ru was very wise and quick-witted, and had contacts with too many officials and landlords and wealthy families. He had long seen through the officialdom. The standards he had developed for judging a person were not suitable for Zhang Liao, which was what made him strange.

"I have been worried about Wenyou, but this son does have complex and strange features. The rest of the Zhang clan members are all restrained and nervous. Only this Zhang family boy is free to talk and not oppressed by the governor's power, which is extraordinary."

Dong Zhuo smiled disapprovingly, and then asked, "This son claimed that the Zhang family Dalang was sick and was waiting for me, the governor, to come forward to comfort me. It is not easy for me to be proud. After all, we are guests, so don't leave a reputation as a villain for the Zhang clan."

"The governor is taking a nap. It doesn't matter whether the Zhang family Dalang is really sick." Li Ru looked meditative and said with a slight temptation: "I want to take a look at what's strange about a wealthy family in the local area."

"Since Wenyou has doubts in her heart, just solve the problem, don't worry about me, a nap person." Dong Zhuo agreed with Li Ru's purpose.

Li Ru made up his clothes and then leaned out and stood behind the coachman.

Zhang Liao's eyes immediately moved away from Niu Fu and gathered on the scholar who had no idea whose surname was.

Li Ru looked down at Zhang Liao with a smile on his lips.

Zhang Liao felt helpless that the coachman was also a second person, driving the slow horse to walk rhythmically, not too fast or very slow, just so that the Zhang clan members could follow him at a speed faster than normal walking.

It seems that this is to intentionally create the messy appearance of the Zhang clan.

This goal has been achieved, and Zhang Liao can feel it without looking at it. It is not even possible for the tribesmen to leave quickly, nor is it even more so. They can only follow the car next to the car.

What made Zhang Liao even more gritted his teeth was that the coachman suddenly accelerated or slowed down the speed of the car, and all this was going on silently, which made the Zhang clan members uncontrollably squeeze.

Even a coachman has such a strong vision, showing the governor's majesty of the Han official, and invisibly let Shangguan's power crush others' hearts.

Zhang Liao was angry, but he could only pretend not to care. He even squeezed out his smile and bowed and said, "Zhang Family Xiaolang, I have met the governor."

At this time, he decided to pretend to be stupid.

Even though I knew that this scholar was not Dong Zhuo, I still deliberately wanted to mistake it.

Niu Fu is easy to fool, and even if he is contemptuous and disdainful to his words, he will be fine. However, scholars are not so easy to deceive. Niu Fu can believe that his brother is really suffering from cold disease, but the scholar had a malicious expression on his face, which was obviously not a good person, which made Zhang Liao's vigilant masterpiece.

At the same time, such an idea emerged in his heart. If the scholar had the surname Li or Jia, he would probably have suffered today.

He secretly felt that if the other party insisted on pursuing the investigation, the brother's statement that he was sick would probably bring enough disaster to the family.

Zhang Liao secretly blamed himself, why did he agree to his brother's illness?

If the elder brother is present, wouldn’t it be a lot of trouble?

"In the lower house, Li Ru, the governor, is under Gongcao, and has met the Zhang family's little Lang."

Li Ru showed a smile like spring breeze, but the corners of his eyes tightened, and he said with a narrow heart: "Xiao Lang knew in his heart that I am not the governor Dong, why did he deliberately mistake it? Looking at Yanmen County, there are some county magistrates who cannot recognize the governor. I know that there are some county magistrates who cannot recognize the governor, but local wealthy families are well-informed but no one admits the mistake. You are the first person to recognize the appearance of the governor."

"Oh, the boy is shallow in his knowledge and has never seen the true face of the governor. He actually mistakenly admits it. It is really a sin." Zhang Liao hurriedly apologized, and then asked anxiously: "Dare you ask Li Gongcao, where is the governor?"

Ask quickly and give Li Ru time to answer. You cannot leave all the questions to Li Ru, otherwise it would be too passive to answer the other person's questions blindly.

He ignored Li Ru's words and deliberately admitted his mistake. This was a thunder. He only said that he had never seen the true face of the governor, and he also questioned why the governor did not show up.

Naturally, no one in the local wealthy families acknowledged the mistake of the governor. Not to mention that the portrait of the governor has long been remembered by everyone, even the officials of all sizes and subordinates around the governor are clear about it. This is the foundation for everyone to be aware of it, for fear of being punished by Shangguan without knowing it.

Even if you encounter it in normal times, you will be treated with courtesy. As long as the other party does not disclose his identity, he will pretend not to know it. He will not sit up in surprise until the other party reports his identity.

"It's cold and cold, and the governor is taking a nap. The voices of words should not be too loud to avoid disturbing the governor's dream." Li Ru explained lightly.

Now, Zhang Liao secretly asked the reason why the governor did not show up and found out.

It’s not that the other party showed his official power and he was disdainful to Zhang.

Instead, he was taking a nap, and even Zhang Liao could not say anything.

A awake person was taking a nap, and Zhang Liao claimed that he was unable to wake him up.

What if he believed it?

Just as Li Ru didn't believe that Zhang Xun was suffering from cold.

"So that's it. The governor is busy with official duties, and he must be tired." Zhang Liao knew the elegant meaning when he heard the strings, so he immediately lowered his voice and relaxed his steps.

However, when he did this alone, the rest of the tribesmen still had heavy footsteps in their minds. Zhang Liao did not ask the tribesmen to leave gently. Instead, he looked at the tribesmen with interest, fearing that the noise would not be loud enough.

Li Ru naturally understood that Zhang Liao did not believe that the governor was taking a nap. He became more and more strange in his heart and thought to himself: "Such a cunning little guy doesn't seem to be taught by someone. Why do I feel that a little fox is asleep in this little body that is not cleaned up?"
