At noon, it was time to eat. In Chang'an City, Dong Huang and his wife Huang were having dinner, accompanied by two maids.

During the meal, Dong Huang looked at Huang from time to time, which made Huang a little shy. He said that Huang's appearance was not bad, but because he was a little conservative and clumsy, he was not loved by Dong Huang on weekdays. Now that he suddenly got his husband's attention frequently, Huang was very happy.

Although Huang did not care about foreign affairs, he also knew that everything was not going well for most of the past six months. Now that he saw that his husband seemed to be thinking about turning his mind, he just wanted to comfort him after the meal.

"Xiaojun, how about the food?" Dong Huang asked suddenly, his voice gentle.

He didn't want to eat or sleep. Huang didn't want his husband to ask suddenly, and subconsciously replied: "Okay, very good." Suddenly he realized that his husband didn't seem to eat much today, and immediately asked: "How about the good man..."

But before I finished speaking, I felt a cramp in my abdomen, and I couldn't help but frown and let out a muffled groan.

Then the severe pain suddenly became intense, like a knife. She bent down in pain, covered her abdomen, and her face also became.

"Madam." The two maids on the side were shocked to see this and hurried to help Huang.

"Xiaojun!" Dong Huang's eyes flashed, he let out a low voice, and hurriedly stood up to help his wife.

"Liang...liang..." Huang was breathing in a short while, and her cheeks twitched in pain. In a blink of an eye, her face turned black and blue, her pupils spread, and blood oozing from her mouth and nose. She wanted to reach out to pull her husband's hand, but suddenly she saw the strange look in her husband's eyes. Only the husband's concern question just now flashed through her mind, and her strange behavior today, she seemed to understand something, her eyes were confused, and her lips were moving with difficulty: "Liang...man..."

When she called out this sound, she seemed to have used all her last strength. Her hand suddenly dropped, and she fell on the mat, exhaling gently, and her eyes no longer looked at her husband, but she was still confused, and there was still a trace of relief and relief.

"Xiaojun!" Dong Huang shouted: "Come here, someone is poisoning, call the doctor quickly!"

When Dong Liu heard the movement inside outside, he hurried in. When he saw the mistress lying on the ground, he was shocked. He looked at his son Dong Huang again, but his face was ferocious.

There was a doctor at the mansion, but when the doctor arrived, Huang had completely cut off his energy. After the doctor diagnosed it, it was confirmed that someone was poisoning the food, and it was extremely violent.

Without saying a word, Dong Huang drew out his long sword and stabbed the two maids who had just accompanied him to the meal to death. He shouted again: "Kill all the kitchens in the mansion, and leave no one behind!"

When Dong Liu saw the young master going crazy, he responded in a hurry and was about to go out.

Dong Huang looked at his wife who was dying on the ground with a complicated expression. He looked at Dong Liu's back and said slowly: "Prepare for funeral and bury his wife. Also, call Li Liang to come to the backyard to see me."

"Here!" Dong Liu hurriedly turned around and responded again, turning around and out.

After a moment, Dong Huang came to the back garden. There was a person in the back garden. It was Li Liang, a visitor who Dong Huang asked Dong Liu to call.

"Young Master." Li Liang saw Dong Huang and bowed respectfully.

Dong Huang glanced at him and said slowly: "Mrs. is dead."

Li Liang's eyes shrank, but praised: "It is impossible for others to do something. The young master is really a person who does great things. As soon as the wife thinks of death, the young master can ask for marriage to Cai Yan and kill Zhang Liao. He can get a beautiful woman and eliminate great troubles. How wise!"

Dong Huang nodded and suddenly asked, "Li Liang, are you sent by Ding Gong?"

"Ah?" Li Liang couldn't help but look shocked and said hurriedly: "Why did your son say this? I don't understand."

Clam!

A cold light flashed, and Dong Huang pulled out the long sword from his waist and stabbed directly into Li Liang's chest.

"Uh... Young Master..."

Looking at Li Liang's disbelief, Dong Huang said expressionlessly: "I knew you were sent by someone else, but Ding Gong was sentenced to death. I realized that the mastermind behind it was Ding Gong. Ding Gong could not do it. I will do it, but it's time for you to die. Let's accompany him and bury this young master's wife."

"What a Dong Huang... I should have left long ago..." Li Liang showed regret on his face and died of anger.

Dong Huang drew out his long sword, wiped the blood from the sword expressionlessly, and looked south: "Zhang Liao, you, a Bingzhouzi, dare to slave the great bully the master and press on my head... I have never forgotten the hatred of beauty, the crossbow arrows, the pain of fists and feet, and the humiliation of evil words!"

...

The Sili School Guard was filled with joy because today is the day of "La Ci". As the name suggests, La Ci is to reward money and goods in the twelfth lunar month to prepare for the New Year. Since the Han Dynasty, there have been a prescribed order for the court officials La Ci at the end of the year. According to the different levels of officials, the number of "La Ci" varies. The generals, the three ministers were treated the best, each with 200,000 yuan each, each with 200 kilograms of beef, and each with 200 hu of rice. Special promotion, waiting for 150,000 yuan, every 100,000 yuan, the lieutenant 50,000 yuan, the stern secretary, the general, the officials were 20,000 yuan each, 600 stone each, each with 600 stone each, Tiger Ben, and Yulin Lang.

Although Zhang Liao was a Sili lieutenant and nominally, he was above the Nine Ministers. Therefore, his lao gifts were given according to the treatment of Nine Ministers, which was 100,000 yuan.

However, because Dong Zhuo cast small coins, the prices in Guanzhong soared. The original price of more than 1,200 yuan per stone of grain has now soared to tens of thousands of yuan per stone, up a hundred times.

So this year's Lacio is converted into half of the money and half of the grain and rice. Otherwise, 100,000 yuan could have bought nearly a thousand stones of grain, but now it is only enough to buy ten stones of grain.

Zhang Liao's salary was deducted, but Lagui was a welfare item, but it was not included in the deduction. Therefore, he received 500 stones of grain and 50,000 yuan.

He handed all the money and food to Xun You, kept some of it himself, gave some to the Cai Mansion, and some to the Xun Wu Mansion. The remaining three were given to the Tiqi and Jiji who were in charge of the Jinwu Yai office, and 70% were given to his subordinates and Sili, which made everyone in his subordinates happy.

Prices soared, making the salaries of subordinates and soldiers cheaper. One stone of grain was thirty or forty kilograms, and the grain and rice produced by Zhang Liao were enough to allow them to have a good New Year.

While the grain was being distributed, several people arrived one after another, and some ox carts came over, loaded with grain and rice. When Zhang Liao asked, he found out that it was Zhou Zhong, the Grand Secretary’s General Sima Fang, the General of Jingzhao, Fu Wan, the General of the Central Army of the Five-Secrets, and Sun Rui, a few friends from the Shangshu Pushe Shi, sent someone to send him, but he knew that he had his salary deducted. He also heard that he had distributed La Ci to his subordinates, so he gave him some grain and rice.

This is a reciprocity exchange at the end of the year, which is normal.

Soon, Li Ru and Tian Yi also came. In addition, there was another official who came to deliver grain and rice by his parents, but he was Liu Zhang, the commander of the chariot, and the son of Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou.

Liu Yan was one of the four prefecture governors appointed by Emperor Ling when he was alive. However, when he was appointed as the governor of Yizhou, he only brought his eldest son Liu Mao to Shu. The other three sons Liu Fan, Liu Dan and Liu Zhang were all left in the court. When he moved west, the three brothers also arrived in Chang'an.

Among them, Liu Zhang, who was young, had the most cowardly personality and was often bullied by others. Zhang Liao once met him once, helped him, and persuaded him after hearing this. Since then, Liu Zhang has always regarded Zhang Liao as his backer and often visited Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao was also happy to give him some advice, but he became familiar with him a lot.

Although Liu Zhang's chariot commander was a free position, his official position was as high as Zhang Liao and others. Therefore, he gave him a lot of gifts and sent him a lot to Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao gave him to his subordinates.

Seeing this, Li Ru and Tian Yi secretly praised Zhang Liao for being generous and generous. Once upon a time, Dong Zhuo was the same. Every time he obtained the spoils, he would give them to the soldiers, without leaving any of them, so he was loved by the soldiers. But now Dong Zhuo is no longer the same as before. There are countless money, pearls, jade, and grain and rice piled up in the single dock.

In this situation, Li Ru and Tian Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Zhang Liao set up a wine in the courtyard and was talking to Li Ru, Tian Yi and Liu Zhang. Suddenly, he saw the Jinwu Cheng Huangfu Li coming in a hurry, looking anxious. Seeing that Li Ru and Tian Yi were all there, he couldn't help but want to speak.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao didn't know that he had an urgent matter and was inconvenient to be known to everyone, so he immediately took him to the inner hall.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the inner hall, Huangfu Li bowed to the ground: "I would like to ask the help of the emperor."

Zhang Liao hurriedly helped him up and said in a deep voice: "Brother Huangfu, what happened? But it's okay, I will do my best!"

Huangfu Li said anxiously: "The Grand Master is not sure who is bewitched by him. He wants to marry Li's great-grandmother. Li Suzhi's great-grandmother is strong on the outside and on the inside. He will definitely not surrender. He will definitely be harmed. The Grand Master Li has been trusted by the Grand Master, so please dissuade Li for a while."

"The Grand Master wants to force his uncle to marry him?" Zhang Liao couldn't help but change his expression. What kind of wind did Dong Zhuo expel?

He knew a little about Huangfu Li's family background. Huangfu Li's uncle was the widow of Huangfu Gui, one of the Sanming Ming Dynasty in Liangzhou, and also Huangfu Song's aunt.

Let’s not talk about the Ma family being a member of the Ma family of Fufeng, but only talking about the Ma family’s husband, Huangfu Gui, the guard of the Qiang school, was famous and highly prestige in Liangzhou, and was far from comparable to those of the younger generations such as Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song.

Huangfugui served as General of the Central Army, General of the Liao Dynasty, and Captain Hu Qiang. He made outstanding achievements in fighting against the Qiang, but unlike Duan Yi's practice of killing all the people, Huangfugui tended to be military deterrent and political admonition. During the Yanxi period, he held a tribute to the soldiers in Guanxi, defeated Lingwu and Dongqiang, captured 100,000 Qiang people, and killed Han officials who did not oppress the Qiang people, cleared the local government and migrated the subdued Qiang tribes to the pass, allowing them to transform from nomadic life to farming and farming life. The effect was significant, and the border was stable for nearly ten years.

Because Huangfu Gui's courtesy name was Weiming, he was collectively known as "Liangzhou Sanming" with Zhang Huan, Zhang Ranming, Duan Yan and Duan Jiming. Moreover, Huangfu Gui has also achieved great academic achievements. The saying "Junzhou Boats and Minsuans" was first proposed by him.

Ma was Huangfu Gui's second wife. She was both talented and beautiful, good at writing and cursive scripts. She often wrote correspondence for Huangfu Gui and was famous.

Now Dong Zhuo is going to marry the Ma family forcibly. What is the starting point? He wins over the Huangfu family and the Fufeng Ma family and gets the support of the Guanzhong family?

This seems impossible. As long as you have a little brain, you will know that this way will only offend the Fufeng Ma family and the Anding Huangfu family.

Or is it going to attack Huangfu Song? Huangfu Song is Dong Zhuo's old boss. He has always been on Dong Zhuo's head. In Dong Zhuo's eyes, he is the second generation of officials, the second generation of rich people and the representative of the tall, rich and handsome men. After Dong Zhuo came to power, he might have been jealous and spared no effort to attack Huangfu Song once he succeeded.

But this possibility is not great. Dong Zhuo's power is far greater than Huangfu Song. The appointment of Huangfu Song's Censor General is useless, and there is no need to attack Huangfu Song.

Now, Dong Zhuo's move has no political starting point or other ideas at all, it is just a simple and lustful person!

You should know that Huangfu Gui and Ma were old husbands and young wives. When Huangfu Gui died, Ma was still young and was only forty years old now. He was just half-mighty and still had charm. Dong Zhuo was a minor official under Huangfu Gui when he was young. Ma was still considered Dong Zhuo's former mistress. No wonder Dong Zhuo, who was over 50 years old, still covets it.

When Huangfu Li saw Zhang Liao silent, he fell into deep thought. He thought he was worried, and he couldn't help but look disappointed on his face and sighed.

When Zhang Liao heard Huangfu Li sigh, he came back to his senses. Seeing his frustrated expression, he asked in a deep voice: "Does Huangfu Zhongcheng know about this?"

Huangfu Li sighed: "So what if my uncle knows? He has always been afraid of the Grand Master. If he stands out, it will definitely affect the Huangfu family. He is the most painful in his heart. He locked himself in the inner hall and has not come out for a day."

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "It's urgent, I'll rush to the Jinwu tomorrow."

thump!

Huangfu Li knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times to Zhang Liao, and cried, "Don't Li know that this is dangerous, the family is kind and kind. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, my Huangfu and Ma are grateful!"

He knew that Dong Zhuo was employed to marry him this time, not to take a concubine. It was indeed dangerous to dissuade him so grandly.

Zhang Liao helped him up and said in a deep voice: "Brother Huangfu is doing this. You and I are like brothers. Let my uncle be the elder Zhang Liao, how can I sit still and wait and see you?"
