Chapter 008 The situation subsides
After Zhang Liao left, the ministers at the meeting were curious about the Luoyang Prison, especially the four people who ran away. Everyone was wondering how they escaped, but they didn't come to the scene to investigate and no one dared to make arbitrary judgments.
After Zhang Liao left, Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Hahaha... Come on! Don't be affected by trivial matters, let's continue drinking!"
Although Dong Zhuo said this on the surface, he was extremely uneasy inside! Someone actually made him feel uncomfortable on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so he would definitely catch the culprit! But at this banquet, Dong Zhuo restrained himself from losing his temper.
Dong Zhuo was able to become a prince, but this tolerance could be achieved. Dong Zhuo did not go to prison and knew that this matter must be related to the people of the aristocratic families, so Dong Zhuo decided to investigate the prison robbery to the end.
After the banquet, Dong Zhuo personally took people to the prison cell to investigate. After seeing Zhang Liao, Dong Zhuo frowned and said, "Wen Yuan, how about it?"
"The prime minister and subordinates are stupid and have not found any clues."
Dong Zhuo glared at Zhang Liao: "Hmph! Useless things!"
Zhang Liao felt extremely unhappy when he heard this!
It’s useless to be scolded by Dong Zhuo on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but it would be strange if Zhang Liao felt good.
After Dong Zhuo scolded Zhang Liao, he took people to the prison cell to investigate, and Lu Bu and other generals followed closely behind him. Although Zhang Liao was angry, he hurriedly followed. After all, he was responsible for the prison affairs.
While Dong Zhuo investigated, Zhang Liao explained while explaining, and the generals behind him also frowned and analyzed.
After Dong Zhuo investigated the prison inside and outside, he personally asked the generals and soldiers on duty last night. As Zhang Liao said, there was no clue.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Can these four people fly out of prison? Investigate! Check it out thoroughly! You must find out how they escaped from prison! There must be an insider!" Dong Zhuo was furious in an instant.
Seeing this, Li Ru stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, as long as you catch the four people who escaped and then interrogate them strictly, you will know how they escaped from the prison."
I have to say that Li Ru's ability to think in reverse has indeed shocked everyone.
Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up: "Yes! Yes! Yes! I have been led by you! Lu Bu, I will do whatever it takes to pursue the three traitors of Xun You, Wu Qiong and Zhou Liyu. By the way, there is that Gao Shun."
"Receive the order!" Lu Bu took the fist and left.
Dong Zhuo thought for a while and continued: "The search in the prison cannot be relaxed. Wen Yuan, I will order you to continue to investigate thoroughly in the prison!"
"Abide by the order!"
Dong Zhuo stood up and said angrily: "These people in the world are so brave! They dare to give me eye drops on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Then you can wait and bear my anger!"
After Dong Zhuo said that, he left angrily. The generals hurriedly followed him, but Li Ru stayed.
Dong Zhuo scolded Zhang Liao on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Li Ru stayed to wipe Dong Zhuo's butt.
After Dong Zhuo left, Li Ru smiled at Zhang Liao and said, "Wenyuan, Prime Minister shouldn't scold you just now, so don't take it to your heart."
Zhang Liao clasped his fists at Li Ru and said, "The Prime Minister is right to scold me! It is indeed my mistake. The Prime Minister gave me the prison to take charge, but he did not expect such a thing to happen on the first day of the Lunar New Year! When Wen Hou captured the escaped thief back, I will definitely torture the whole story of the matter personally and give the Prime Minister a satisfactory explanation."
Li Ru shook his head and sighed, "Oh! Wen Yuan, just think about this. It's impossible for Mr. Wen to catch people. Since those people can save people from prison without knowing it, Mr. Wen cannot catch them."
Zhang Liao looked at Li Ru in shock when he heard this, and then he nodded and sighed: "Oh!"
Zhang Liao knew that Li Ru was telling the truth and knew the difficulty of arresting the four people.
Li Ru gently patted Zhang Liao's shoulder: "Wen Yuan, the prime minister is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and he is in a bad mood. As subordinates, we should take more responsibility for the prime minister. If you have nothing to do, go back to rest early. Don't be too tired on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
After Li Ru said that, he turned around and left. Zhang Liao looked at Li Ru's back and smiled bitterly. He knew that Li Ru was right, but he had to continue to investigate thoroughly.
On the afternoon of the Lunar New Year, Luoyang City became in chaos due to Lu Bu's blockade. The people did not understand what the Xiliang Army was doing? It was so nervous on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
After Dong Zhuo's banquet, Wang Yun hurried home. He summoned Qi's family and frowned and said, "There is a big incident in Luoyang City today. Don't go out if you have nothing to do these days, be careful to bring disaster."
"Father, can't you even visit relatives and friends?" Wang Gai asked.
Wang Yun nodded: "It's better not to go, treat it very often! Especially Jing'er, you can stay at home these days, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. Don't wander around outside all day and can't find anyone."
"Children obey his father's orders!" Wang Jing bowed to Wang Yun with his fists.
Wang Yun felt at ease when he saw Wang Jing not contradicting him: "Okay, just go down and rest if you have nothing to do."
Wang Jing then clasped his fists at Wang Yun and said, "Father, the child has something to ask for."
"What's the matter?" Wang Yun looked at Wang Jing with his eyebrows.
Since Wang Jing's injury healed, Wang Yun found that Wang Jing had changed and became wiser, but he also became even more worry-free! He could not see people all day long, but fortunately he did not cause trouble outside.
"Father, the child wants to become an official after the New Year."
"No!" Wang Yun directly rejected.
Wang Jing looked at Wang Yun with confusion when he heard this. He didn't understand why Wang Yun opposed it. He thought that Wang Yun would definitely support it strongly, but Wang Yun had this attitude: "Father, why?"
"Second brother!" Diao Chan saw this and quickly stopped Wang Jing from continuing. She was worried that Wang Jing would anger Wang Yun.
"The others go out first." Wang Yun said in a deep voice.
When the women and children of the Wang family heard this, they greeted Wang Yun one after another and then left.
Wang Yun looked at Wang Jing after everyone else left: "Jing'er, you reminded you that you have grown up. For your father, you will first get the word "mark" for you. You are the second, and you are famous for Jing. Your word "mark" is called Zhongping. You are so good at Wu. For your father, I just hope you can live your life safely."
"Zhongping? Thank you father."
Wang Yun nodded: "Zhongping, although you are already at the age of becoming an official, I really don't want you to enter the officialdom for your father. The current situation is too chaotic and you don't know the hardships of the world. Entering the officialdom will bring you disaster. I hope you can understand the painstaking efforts of being a father."
"Father, how can a young bird fly in the blue sky without experiencing the beating? My father can protect me for a while, but I can't protect me for a lifetime! My child once remembered that my father said before that there are no cowards in our Wang family!"
"Oh! Zhongping, don't be strong anymore. It's just for your own good. Now the heroes of Kanto are ready to move and will soon join forces to fight Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo is also trying to move the capital to Chang'an. You are asking for trouble at this time to become an official. Listen to your advice from your father, and wait for two years."
"I understand." Wang Jing clasped his fists at Wang Yun and turned around and left.
Wang Jing knew Wang Yun's efforts, but Wang Yun's efforts would harm him and hinder his major plan, so Wang Jing decided to find another way.
"Second brother, where are you going? Have you forgotten your father's instructions?" Wang Jing thought about it and used to walking back doors, but heard Diao Chan's shouting.
Wang Jing was thinking about how to become an official at this time. When he heard this, his eyes lit up. He came to Diao Chan and smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, I won't go out today."
Diao Chan nodded to Wang Jing: "Second brother, you'd better not go out and cause trouble, sister will look at you."
Wang Jing smiled slightly: "Sister, please rest assured, I won't be in trouble."
After Wang Jing finished speaking, he turned around and left, but he had already thought of a way to become an official.
Wang Jing thought of Lu Bu from Diao Chan, so Wang Jing planned to find Lu Bu directly and asked Lu Bu to recommend him to Dong Zhuo. Wang Jing planned to play the family card because Lu Bu was from Bingzhou like him.
Thinking of the fellow villager's card, Wang Jing naturally considered who to be his recommended candidate for the official career.
Wang Jing's goal is nothing more than Lu Bu and Zhang Liao. Wang Jing thought about it and thought it would be better for Lu Bu to be his recommender, because Lu Bu will be his brother-in-law in the future, and he will be his recommender. Wang Jing thought that once Lu Bu is in trouble in the future, he will probably think of himself.
Regarding Lu Bu, Wang Jing must try to conquer Lu Bu, not for Lu Bu, but for generals such as Zhang Liao who were loyal to Lu Bu. Wang Jing was very curious about how the situation would develop if Lu Bu did not die?
After Wang Jing made a decision in his heart, he began to prepare. The first thing was to get close to Diao Chan. Wang Jing knew Diao Chan's future very well, so he would definitely have a good sibling relationship with Diao Chan before Diao Chan became famous.
Before the 10th day of the New Year, Luoyang City was under martial law. Wang Jing hid in the Wang family and asked Diao Chan to get closer every day. Diao Chan also felt good about Wang Jing because of Wang Jing's care for him over the past ten days.
Diao Chan's status in the Wang family has always been very awkward. Although she is Wang Yun's adopted daughter, she knows that she is low in her identity and has always kept a distance from Wang Yun's three sons. Now that Wang Jing takes the initiative to show her goodwill, Diao Chan is naturally happy and tight.
Diao Chan originally thought that Wang Jing had an inappropriate thought of her, but although Wang Jing stayed in her room every day to chat with her, she was very dedicated.
After Wang Yun received a report, Wang Jingnian stayed in Diao Chan's room every day and found Wang Jing: "Zhongping, I heard that you have been staying in your sister's room these days?"
Wang Jing looked at Wang Yun's eyes and smiled slightly: "Yes, father, the child thinks that Sister Diao Chan is really good."
Wang Yun frowned at Wang Jing when he heard this: "Zhongping, although you are at the age of marriage, Diao Chan is not suitable for you. Her identity is not worthy of you."
"Haha, my father misunderstood! Diao Chan is the elder sister of the child. How could he have any inappropriate thoughts about elder sister? Because of the chance, the elder sister found out that elder sister is very good, so he had nothing to do to chat with elder sister. The elder sister had no other intentions."
Wang Yun nodded at Wang Jing's serious expression and said, "This is the best! Read more when you are fine, don't go out for a walk or do not do your job all day."
"Children follows his father's teachings! Father, I wonder what is going on in Luoyang City now? Is the martial law lifted?"
"Oh! The prison robbery has passed, but it has intensified Dong Zhuo's determination to move the capital. The situation is getting worse and worse. Just go on and think about it for your father."
"The boy gave up."
Wang Jing left Wang Yun's room and then went to Diao Chan's room: "Sister, the martial law outside was lifted."
"Okay, that's fine. Is the second brother planning to go out again?"
Wang Jing looked at Diao Chan and smiled slightly: "Yes, sister, I have to do some things. By the way, sister, don't worry about anything you encounter in the future. I will have my brother to decide for you in everything.
Since my father accepts you as his adopted daughter, you will always be my sister. I will not let outsiders bully you."
Diao Chan felt warm when she heard this. Her biggest feeling now was that she felt insecure. Wang Jing's words made her feel the warmth of her family.
Diao Chan smiled at Wang Jing slightly: "Second brother, I have written down your words."
Wang Jing also replied and smiled: "Sister, you are busy, I'll go out and go around."
"You must pay attention to safety!" Diao Chan hurriedly instructed.
Chapter completed!
