Chapter 26: Dong Zhuo: The Filial Son
"Did Wen Yan really say this before he died?"
Lu Bu's face changed and he stared at several of Li Su's personal soldiers and asked them questions.
His eyes are sharp and aggressive, which puts people under great pressure.
"It is absolutely true. My master shouted several times that the man who killed him was Hua Xiong.
After my lord was killed by the enemy general, Hua Xiong, who was in charge of plundering the enemy camp, appeared.
Hua Xiong did not kill the man who killed my lord.
Instead, he was captured alive and brought back to Sishui Pass.
I once asked Hua Xiong to kill him to avenge my lord, but Hua Xiong said that the enemy would be of great use to him and refused to kill him..."
"Marquis Duting, please make the decision for my humble husband!
When my husband was alive, he was on good terms with you, Marquis Duting.
I once said that if I have any problems, I can come to see you, Marquis Duting.
I am an orphan and a widow, a woman of modest means. When faced with such a matter, which involves such an important person, my words are not taken seriously. If you, Marquis Du Ting, do not care, this matter will surely be buried, and my husband will have died in vain..."
"This Hua Xiong is not targeting my husband, but my Bingzhou clan. Today it's my husband, who knows who it will be in the future...
The Bingzhou faction, led by you, Marquis Duting..."
Madam Li Su fell to her knees, looking at Lu Bu and begging him.
At this time, Lu Bu and Li Su had not yet passed their honeymoon period.
It was not the time in history when Li Su killed Dong Zhuo and led troops to fight against Niu Fu, Li Jue and others, but was defeated and killed cleanly by Lu Bu.
Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu several times, and quietly pulled Lu Bu from behind several times.
Lu Bu did not respond.
“Please rest assured!
Wen Yan is my fellow townsman and old friend.
If this is really the case, I will definitely not ignore it!
Not to mention that it’s just a small Hua Xiong, even if it’s the others, I will also seek justice for them!”
Hearing what Lu Bu said, Zhang Liao stretched out his hand again, ready to pull Lu Bu's hand, but dropped it helplessly.
Mrs. Li Su, Li Su's youngest son, and several of Li Su's personal guards expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
"Let's go! Come with me to see my godfather!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao quickly said, "Fengxian, I'm afraid the Prime Minister has already gone to bed. Why don't we go there tomorrow morning..."
Lu Bu shook his head and said, "I can't wait until tomorrow morning. Such a big thing has happened and I need to tell my foster father as soon as possible.
Lest the night continue to prolong, Hua Xiong might do something else!
My godfather knows the priorities of things, and he won’t get angry even if he goes to bed.”
After saying that, he held the Fang Tian Hua Ji and went outside first.
Madam Li Su, her young son, and several personal soldiers followed her.
Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu who was leaving, opened his mouth but said nothing.
After a moment, I couldn't help but sigh secretly...
…
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister."
Hearing the shouting outside, Dong Zhuo, who had just fallen asleep, was filled with unhappiness.
"do what?"
He responded , his voice sounding unhappy.
"Marquis Duting came to ask for an audience, saying he had something extremely important to report."
Hearing Dong Zhuo's unhappy voice, the person outside who was telling him about the incident spoke more carefully.
Dong Zhuo became even more annoyed when he heard this.
If it was just a piece of news, he would just listen to it and would not be disturbed for too long.
But if he comes to see me, it will take a long time.
He just brought out a beauty from the palace today.
Just about to enter the alley.
Moreover, the weather was cold at that time, and it was very tiring to fall asleep and then get up again.
Dong Zhuo really wanted to reject his adopted son outright and ask him not to bother him.
He lay there for a while, calmed down, and then said, "Let him in!"
As he spoke, he sat up, put on a thick coat with the help of the maid, then went out and headed for the front yard.
In the backyard, there were many of his concubines, as well as beauties newly brought from the palace. It was late at night, so Dong Zhuo would certainly not meet Lu Bu here.
As he was walking on the road, the cold air hit Dong Zhuo. He tightened his clothes and felt even more unhappy.
Can't you come back tomorrow?
This filial son!
…
"Meet foster father."
"Greetings to the Prime Minister."
After Dong Zhuo arrived here, Lu Bu and others hurriedly greeted Dong Zhuo.
"Fengxian, you came here at this time, is there anything important you want to tell me?"
Dong Zhuo sat down, waved his hand to signal everyone not to be polite, then looked at Lu Bu and spoke.
"Father, it is indeed a big matter, otherwise I would not dare to disturb you in the middle of the night."
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he pointed at Madam Li Su's youngest son and said to several of his personal soldiers, "These are Wen Yan's family members and personal soldiers. They have important matters to report to their adoptive father."
Mrs. Li Su brought her young son again, knelt on the ground and cried, asking Dong Zhuo to make the decision for them.
And told the story.
Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this.
Is there such a thing?
"I am also saddened by Wen Yan's death. Gong Wei also sent a letter to apologize for this matter.
It also explains what happened last night.
Wen Yan went to rob the camp and was ambushed. Gong Wei was in the back, and although he was not feeling well, he still rushed out from behind to fight the bandits...
Gong Wei felt very guilty about this, saying that as the commander, he actually caused the death of his deputy commander in battle..."
"Foster father, this is Hua Xiong's one-sided statement, you must not believe it.
Hua Xiong is a cunning man, he must have done something secretly, otherwise Wen Yan would not have shouted that it was Hua Xiong who killed him before he died. "
When Lu Bu heard that Dong Zhuo seemed to want to protect Hua Xiong, he quickly spoke up.
Hearing what Lu Bu said, Dong Zhuo almost laughed out loud.
Hua Xiong was his old subordinate, and Dong Zhuo believed him when he said others were cunning.
But when applying the word "cunning" to Hua Xiong... Dong Zhuo really wanted to laugh.
Hua Xiong is a complete barbarian. How could he have any good ideas?
Still cunning...
Really...
Seeing Dong Zhuo's expression and thinking about Hua Xiong's usual behavior, Lu Bu felt that what he had just said was not entirely accurate and that he had overestimated Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong was indeed a reckless man, a barbarian, and the kind of barbarian who couldn't beat him...
Hua Xiong didn't know that Lu Bu would criticize him from the perspective of IQ and EQ.
Otherwise, I would definitely feel that I have been seriously offended...
"I know about this matter. I will investigate it thoroughly and get the truth out. No one will die in vain and no one will be wrongly accused.
Okay, you guys go back first."
Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu, Madam Li Su and others and said.
He moved his body quietly and tightened his clothes.
He got up in the middle of the night in cold weather. There were beauties from the palace waiting for him in the house. Dong Zhuo didn't want to waste any more time with Lu Bu and others at this time.
"My godfather, this matter cannot be..."
Lu Bu was somewhat unwilling and wanted Dong Zhuo to announce the punishment for Hua Xiong on the spot.
"I will definitely take care of this matter. My son and you can rest assured."
Before Lu Bu could finish his words, Dong Zhuo interrupted him.
Then let Lu Bu and others go back to sleep.
After Lu Bu and others left, Dong Zhuo shook his sleeves, cursed the filial son in his heart for being so tactless all the way, and quickly walked towards his room.
His body was a little cold, and he needed to quickly find a beauty from the palace to warm him up...
Lu Bu walked in Luoyang City under the night, feeling a little unhappy.
He originally thought that since this had happened and he had come to Dong Zhuo in person, Dong Zhuo would definitely punish Hua Xiong directly.
But who could have thought that Dong Zhuo actually said he wanted to investigate first.
What is there to investigate in this matter?
It was obvious that it was Hua Xiong who was behind the conspiracy, so just capture him and kill him.
Dong Zhuo, that old bastard!
"You guys go back now. My foster father already knows about this matter and will definitely give a fair punishment..."
Lu Bu said to Madam Li Su.
…
"Wenyou, what do you think about this matter?"
The next morning, Dong Zhuo, looking a little tired, looked at Li Ru and asked.
