"Zirou, can you find clues?"

In the Taiwei's mansion, Dong Zhuo lay high on the bed, showing a look of fatigue.

And around, several people were kneeling, some were both literary and military, some were fat and thin, and their clothes looked different.

Lu Bu knelt behind Dong Zhuo, with a sword beside him.

A young man dressed in a scholar stood up and bowed and said, "Lord, since the Queen Mother was poisoned, the Russo took down all the palace maids and eunuchs in Yong'an Palace. After two days of interrogation, he finally found the poisoned murderer."

"who?"

"He is the eunuch who is responsible for the Queen Mother's diet, named Gao Ming."

Dong Zhuo then sat up and looked at the scholar with a bright look.

"But just after Ru confirmed that Gao Ming was poisoning, she was about to investigate the murderer behind the scenes, but she didn't expect Gao Ming to commit suicide by taking the poison."

"What?"

As soon as the scholar said something, Dong Zhuo showed a look of shock and anger.

Not only Dong Zhuo, but also the others in the house, felt incredible.

The scribe smiled bitterly and said, "Confucianism knows that this sounds incredible, but it is true.

Gao Ming actually carried poison with him and hid it on his body. After investigation, Ru finally confirmed that Gao Ming had poisoned him, so he was ready to interrogate him carefully. Gao Ming looked very scared, but he took poison and committed suicide on the spot while the person was not paying attention.

Ru was also caught off guard and failed to stop him in time.

The poison is very toxic. Before the Confucians can be treated, Gao Ming will die of poison... Lord, Confucians have been entrusted, so please punish them."

After the scribe said that, he bowed to apologize to Dong Zhuo.

This scholar, named Li Ru, is not only the leader of Dong Zhuo, but also Dong Zhuo's son-in-law.

Before Dong Zhuo made his fortune, he followed Dong Zhuo to Hedong, fought against the Yellow Turbans, and Dingliangzhou, and was loyal.

Dong Zhuo looked at him, his eyes slightly closed.

The eyes were cold and when they fell on someone, they felt like they were staring at by a poisonous snake.

Even though Li Ru followed Dong Zhuo for many years, she still couldn't help feeling panic.

Fortunately, Dong Zhuo did not keep looking at him. After a moment, he looked away and looked around the people in the room, his mind was a little complicated.

The people in this room are all his subordinates.

Many people followed him from Liangzhou and walked all the way, loyal to him.

He wanted to revive the Han Dynasty, so after entering Luoyang, he did not hesitate to bear the infamy, and took the blame for the world, deposed the Han Emperor and established a new emperor, and was ambitious to establish a success. But in just a short time, he felt exhausted.

The situation in the court is definitely much more complicated than he thought.

I thought I was full of talents, but now it seems that if I want to maintain a huge central system, I still need more talents.

"Let's get up, this matter has nothing to do with you."

After pondering for a long time, Dong Zhuo spoke to Li Ru.

"However, this matter cannot be finished here, you continue to investigate.

The thief is cunning, and we must not take it lightly. But I think they will not stop there, sooner or later there will be other actions. As long as they act, they will reveal their flaws. I want you to start from now on, and not underestimate the enemy's carelessness."

When Li Ru heard this, he felt relieved.

He hurriedly said, "Don't worry, lord, Ru will never look down on him anymore, and will definitely find clues to the thief."

"Very good!" Dong Zhuo sighed, his eyes swept across everyone again, and said slowly: "Now the new emperor ascended the throne, and everything is in trouble. It is the time for us to establish achievements and serve the country. However, after the rebellion of the eunuchs, the virtuous and kind in the court retreated, so that there was no one in the center. Such a huge court has a lot of daily affairs. You can pay more attention to it on weekdays. If you encounter virtuous and kind, you can recommend it to me. But if you have a skill, you can give full play to your talents and share my worries."

Li Ru and others frowned when they heard this.

Everyone looked at each other, and a strong man stood up and said, "Lord, I want to recommend one person, but I can't help you."

This person's name is Niu Fu, and he is also Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. After entering Luoyang, he became the General of the Central Army.

Dong Zhuo frowned and said in a deep voice: "Who do you want to recommend?"

"I wonder if the lord still remembers Zhou Shen, a native of Wuwei?"

Dong Zhuo was stunned and then smiled and said, "What you are talking about is the former governor of Yuzhou, Zhou Danggu?"

Zhou Shen was from Liangzhou. He was once the governor of Yuzhou and the general of the bandits. During the Liangzhou Rebellion, he fought side by side with Dong Zhuo, which was considered to have some friendship.

Niu Fudao: "Zhou Shen's son Zhou Li was from Zhou Zhongyuan, and now he is in Luoyang. Why did he be valued and appointed as the Minister of State?

This talent was very knowledgeable. He was very famous when he was in Liangzhou and was named a filial and honest person. If the lord wants to recruit talents, why not use this person? He has made a lot of friends in Luoyang. If he can be valued by the lord, he can add a virtuous person to the lord, and it can also reflect his lord's desire to seek talent... By then, the lord's virtuous person will inevitably flock to serve the lord."

"Is Zhou Zhongyuan?"

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be moved.

He pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I have heard from someone that Zhou Zhongyuan is a person who is quite capable of doing things.

Niu Fu recommends the most, then according to what you said... For those who are in need of work in the court today, you can explore his words on my behalf tomorrow. If he is willing to serve the court, he will be appointed as the governor. If you have any questions, please explain to me."

Niu Fu was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to thank him.

At this moment, Lu Bu, who had been kneeling beside him, spoke.

"Lord, I also have someone to recommend it, why don't you?"

"Um?"

Dong Zhuo turned his head and smiled and said, "Who is Fengxian recommended? Why don't I remember?"

"The lord and nobles forget about it. The day before yesterday I thought the lord recommended Ding Chen, but the lord said he wanted to consider it, but he never responded."

"Ding Chen?"

Dong Zhuo thought about it and then suddenly appeared.

"I remembered that Fengxian said, but Cao Cao's brother-in-law?"

“That’s right.”

"Where is he now?"

"Now, he is still imprisoned in Luoyang prison."

"Um……"

Dong Zhuo took a deep breath, closed his eyes and began to ponder.

To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to Ding Chen. After Lu Bu said that before, he didn't take it to heart. In addition, there were so many things that he left it behind. Now, Lu Bu mentioned this person again, which made Dong Zhuozhong think about it again.

However, from the bottom of my heart, Dong Zhuo did not care about Ding Chen.

Thinking about the time, he valued Cao Cao, but the result was that Cao Cao wanted to assassinate him.

Ding Chen is Cao Cao's brother-in-law, so he is...

Seeing that Dong Zhuo did not speak, Lu Bu felt a little anxious, so he looked at Li Ru and secretly winked at Li Ru.

Lu Bu is fond of Ding Chen, but it doesn’t mean he wants to sacrifice his face.

However, he once told Ding Chen that he would give him a future. So, no matter what, he didn't want to break his promise and become fat.

You know, he is a shameful person!

How could Li Ru not understand Lu Bu? Seeing him winking, he knew what he was thinking.

Lu Bu is the number one warrior around Dong Zhuo. Since he has begged him, he can't lose face at all, right?

So Li Ru said, "Since Mr. Wen values ​​Ding Chen so much, it means that this person has real skills.

The reason why the lord hesitated was because of the relationship between Ding Chen and Cao Cao. Yes, Cao thief was ruthless and wanted to assassinate the lord, but according to what Wen Hou said, Ding Chen did not participate in this matter, and was even completely unaware of it. Now, he is in prison and thinks he has resentment towards Cao Cao. If the lord can appoint him, not only can he get a warrior, but he can also show the lord's desire to be a virtuous person to hold a grudge to the world, and the world will definitely praise him."

"Um!"

Dong Zhuo was immediately moved and nodded repeatedly.

However, he immediately asked again: "But how should this person be used?"

"this……"

Li Ru was stunned and looked at Lu Bu.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu closed his eyes and sat there as if he was asleep.

Seeing this, Li Ru couldn't help but curse in his heart.

You want to save someone, but you want me to come forward; now I have spoken for you, but you are out of the way and throwing the trouble on me is too much!

However, since Lu Bu didn't speak, Li Ru couldn't force him.

What he said was that even with tears in his eyes, it was necessary to be filled... Li Ru's mind flew around and thought about the mystery.

The reason why Lu Bu was Ding Chen was that he was loving talent may have other reasons.

Li Ru had heard people talk about what happened that day.

It is said that Ding Chen is indeed very powerful. With one man's strength, he can compete with hundreds of Xiliang warriors and kill dozens of people.

Later, Lu Bu took action himself and took it down.
