They breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Xin didn't dare to relax at all.
Just when Yang Biao and Huang Wan executed Dong Zhuo. Liu Xin also gave orders. Randomly ransacking homes in the city of Chang'an. The family members of Dong Zhuo, such as Li Ru, Li Da, Guo Bang, Niu Fu, and Li Su, are naturally inevitable. However, Duan Yan, Fan Chou and others who chose to seek refuge in Liu Xin in time were spared. Cui Yong, Zhang Ji, Dong Xiu, and Song Guo guarding Xiaoguan and other places respectively. And the courtiers who followed Wang Yun and fled to Luoyang. Their houses have been guarded by soldiers. No one is allowed to enter or leave. What will happen to the families of these people? It depends on their attitude.
Naturally, Liu Xin didn't need to do it himself. He only needs to stay in Taishi Mansion and give orders. but. Li Ru, Niu Fu and Beigong Boyu were captured. And the more than 60,000 prisoners. Liu Xin decided to deal with it personally.
Originally, this matter was not too complicated. Li Ru, Niu Fu, and Beigong Boyu can be directly beheaded. And the more than 60,000 prisoners were to be sent to Jingzhou to participate in forced labor according to the usual practice. But after letting off Yan Rui's mother and daughter last night. Liu Xin's thinking has quietly changed.
Facing the three people, Li Ru, Niu Fu, and Beigong Boyu who were kneeling in the hall. Liu Xinman said casually: "Niu Fu. You are Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. Now your old father-in-law has been executed by me. Do you want to avenge him."
Niu Fu repeatedly knocked his head and said, "The adult has spared the villain's life. The villain will definitely not dare to confront the adults anymore."
Liu Xin snorted coldly: "Niu Fu. Just throw a bone to the wild dog. The wild dog still knows to wag his tail. Dong Zhuo married your daughter. You don't want to avenge him. You are not as good as a dog. Come. Pulled out and chopped it."
Niu Fu hurriedly said, "No. My lord. I want to avenge my old husband. It's just that I can't avenge myself like this."
Liu Xin knew that after Dong Zhuo died in history. Niu Fu excitedly went to avenge Dong Zhuo. The result was defeated by Lu Bu. Died in the hands of his subordinate Hu Chi'er. Now I see Niu Fu being told the truth by himself. Unconsciously laughed. Shen Sheng said: "You want to avenge Dong Zhuo. But you know how many pounds you have. Let's do it. I'll give you a chance. You and I will fight against you. If you can beat me, I will let you survive. . It’s okay if you beat me to death on the spot. Just take revenge on your old man. My subordinates will never pursue it."
Niu Fu grew up in Xiliang since childhood. Perhaps not so good on the weapon. But there is brute force. In his early years, he could be regarded as a valiant general under Dong Zhuo. That's why Dong Zhuo married his daughter. Hearing what Liu Xin said. Niu Fu suddenly came to his chest and said, "Niu Fu will fight the adults to the death. If the adults are defeated, don't break your promise."
Of course Liu Xin would not let Niu Fu leave alive. He is not so confident in his fists and kicks. Raised his hand. Signaled the soldiers to release Niu Fu. He smiled and said: "The big man said a word. It's hard to chase a horse. I will let you three moves first."
Niu Fu moved his hands and feet silently. It's hard to avoid getting numb after being tied up for so long. When this life and death come and die. He didn't dare to be reckless. With a "look at the move." Niu Fu's figure shook. Already deceived Liu Xin's side. Immediately punched in the past. That punch Niu Fu took only seven minutes of effort. But I heard the wind. Sure enough, the coming is fierce. Liu Xin was still smiling. Slightly one side of the body. Niu Fu's punch was empty. Niu Fu punched empty. Does not take it back. Bend his arm. Change the fist into an elbow to directly push Liu Xin's ribs. Seeing this one will be upright. Suddenly Liu Xin twisted her body. In an unbelievable posture, Niu Fu's elbow is worth it.
Niu Fu sees two tricks have passed. But even the corners of Liu Xin's clothes were not touched. Can not help but anxious. Give a loud shout. Take a leap. He rushed towards Liu Xin. Grasping Liu Xin's shoulders with both hands. The eyes of everyone present were wide open. As a result, no one could see how Liu Xin moved. He was already standing behind Niu Fu. He said lightly: "Three tricks are over. Come and don't be indecent. Niu Fu. You also take my trick."
Liu Xin raised his left hand while speaking. I patted Niu Fu's Tianling cover. He spoke slowly. The action is also slowly swallowing. But Niu Fu dodged from left to right. But Liu Xin's big hand is always inseparable from the top of his head. Liu Xin has just finished speaking. His hand was also placed on Niu Fu's Tianling cover. It's like after countless rehearsals. There is no difference in time. He pressed it. There was no sound. Niu Fu didn't say a word either. It's just that Niu Fu's eyes, nose, ears, and mouth ooze blood.
In the eyes of others. Liu Xin's left hand just pressed Niu Fu's head lightly and retracted it. But Niu Fu not only bleeds from the seven orifices. Distorted facial features. The whole head seems to be flattened by three points. Until Niu Fu fell to the ground. A lot of red, white and white things flowed out of his head.
Niu Fu was lying next to Beigong Boyu. Bei Gong Boyu saw it really. Liu Xin just this lightly. Niu Fu's Tianling Gai has been crushed to pieces. Beigong Boyu is also a battle-tested field. He knew that the bone on top of a person's head was the hardest. Sometimes it is not easy to cut with a knife. And Liu Xin just made an understatement. Just crush Niu Fu's head bones. This power is simply not something mortal can have. Noon at the end of summer. The weather is still very hot. Bei Gong Boyu's whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar. Feel a deep chill.
Soldiers have come here long ago. Dragging Niu Fu's body out. Another soldier brought a basin of clean water. Liu Xin cleansed her hands casually. Without looking back, he said, "Li Ru. You are also Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. How do you want to avenge your old husband."
Li Ru is good at resourcefulness. But no martial arts. Even if he knows how to embroider his legs. Compared to Niu Fulai, it is also a far cry. It is even more unlikely to be Liu Xin's opponent. I had to kowtow: "Li Ru will never dare to be an enemy of adults anymore in this life. I beg the adults to spare Li Ru's life. Li Ru is willing to be a bull and a horse for adults for life."
Liu Xin turned around and sipped Li Ru. Said: "Li Ru. Are you deaf? You didn't hear what I said to Niu Fu just now."
Li Ru helplessly said: "Back to the Lord. Li Ru is just a weak scholar. He has no power to tie a chicken. Even if ten Li Rus are tied together, they are not an adult's opponent. Even if you want to help your father-in-law get revenge, you can still do your best. Not enough."
Liu Xin sneered: "What a weak scholar. You seem to be aggrieved. A weak scholar is good. A scholar does not need a knife to kill. Just move your mouth. Li Ru. Do you remember that I was to you outside Yiqueguan. Have you said anything? I don’t think you’re so forgetful. Humph. You’re spreading my rumors outside again. I will never spare you this time.
Li Ru's face was like dust. The whole body shuddered. Shaking and saying: "My lord Mingjian. Dong Zhuo asked me to do it. I was forced to do it."
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Li Ru. Do you think I am a three-year-old child? Just Dong Zhuo's IQ. I can come up with this idea. But I also give you a chance. I have three questions here. You just have to answer them. One of them. I will spare you not to die."
Although Li Ru didn't understand what Liu Xin was talking about IQ. But he has always been very conceited about his talents. Look at the entire Dong Zhuo Group. Who can surpass himself. Even if not directed at this. To survive. Li Ru only had a fight. So calm down. Said slowly: "My lord, please."
Liu Xin nodded secretly. This is a bit like Dong Zhuo's chief adviser. But then again. Li Ru just has another style. Liu Xin is also confident. He couldn't answer his own questions. Liu Xin did not rush to speak. Instead, he raised his hand to signal the soldiers to bring an incense burner. Put a stick of incense in it. Then he said: "My question is over. You have time for a stick of incense. When the stick of incense burns out. If you haven't answered it yet, then you have to resign."
Li Ru glanced at Liu Xin. He glanced at the censer again. Nodded fiercely.
Liu Xin said: "Li Ru. You heard clearly. The first question. A piece of pure gold jewelry. It may be adulterated. It may not be adulterated. How can I make a judgment without damaging the jewelry? The second question. Process a tree into round sticks of uniform thickness. There are no features on the surface. How to judge which end is the root. Which end is the tip. The third question. There are one hundred mares. One hundred horses. Foal. Confused now. How to tell which foal is the bred of which line mare."
He just finished speaking. The soldiers who had been waiting aside lit the incense stick in the incense burner.
Li Ru's eyes closed for a while and opened. His complexion gradually turned pale. With that stick of incense burned shorter and shorter. The sweat on Li Ru's forehead also increased. Finally, when the incense was completely burned out. Li Ru couldn't hold it anymore. Collapsed to the ground.
Liu Xin glanced at Li Ru who was like a dead dog. He mocked: "I can't think of a resourceful Li Dashusheng. You can't even answer such a simple question. It seems that you can go to death with peace of mind."
Li Ru suddenly shouted hysterically: "This is not fair. No one can answer these questions at all."
Liu Xin said coldly: "Since Liu is able to raise these issues, there is naturally a solution. Just how to solve it. You are a dying person. You don't need to know anymore. All you need to do now. Just choose how to die. ."
Finished. Liu Xin said loudly: "Come up."
Several soldiers heard the sound and carried in three things. Lined up in front of Li Ru. When Li Ru looked up. Surprised. These three things. Each is a big tripod for cooking and eating. A set of steamer. A pair of grills. You salt sauce vinegar. All kinds of condiments are available. Li Ruhan rained like rain. Say nothing.
Liu Xin slowly walked up to him. He said one word at a time: "Li Ru. You should now remember what I told you at Yiqueguan. It doesn't matter if you don't remember. I can remind you. You see I cooked you It’s good to make a pot of soup. It’s better to put it in a steamer and steam it. I heard that the literati meat is a bit sour. Or you can skew you with an iron skewer. Put it on the grill and roast it. It might cover you up. The sourness on the body. Li Ru. Which method do you prefer? You prefer. I will give you a chance. Let you choose. Li Ru... "
I saw Li Ru's face pale. His eyes widened. Panic. Has been scared to death.
"Things that are not promising. Let's drag them. Are these things I prepared for nothing." Liu Xin frowned slightly. Turned his head suddenly. Shouted: "Bei Gong Boyu."
