When Lu Bu asked about this matter, Wang Yun nodded and said, "That's right, Cai Yong openly lamented for the old thief Dong Zhuo at the banquet. Apparently he still wants to understand the thief!
If you don't give him some color, how can you convince the public? Why, is Marquis Wen trying to intercede on his behalf? "
Lu Bu chuckled and said, "I think Cai Yong is just a scholar.
Although the old thief Dong Zhuo was hateful, he was considered a blessing.
Moreover, although Cai Yong was promoted by Dong Zhuo in the past two years, he only did his job well and did nothing to help others.
On the contrary, Cai Yong repeatedly warned Dong Zhuo when he wanted to implement tyranny.
Your Majesty, Cai Yong is considered a famous official after all. If he were to be killed just like that, I'm afraid it would be difficult to convince the public! "
Wang Yun sneered and said: "You don't know something, Marquis Wen. Wang Yun also begged me for mercy, and said he was willing to be punished, just to let him finish the history of Han Dynasty."
Lu Bu said: "Isn't this great? Just let him know his mistake."
Wang Yundao: "Does Marquis Wen know about Sima Qian? In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not kill Sima Qian and asked him to write a slanderous book and spread it to later generations.
Nowadays, the country is in decline and the political power is unstable. We cannot let the treacherous and flattering ministers write articles next to the young master.
This will not enhance the benevolence of the Holy One, but will also expose us to slanderous comments! What to do with him? "
Lu Bu was silent.
In fact, Wang Yun is really not a person who can do big things. He is too narrow-minded and stingy, and he is indecisive in doing things.
Moreover, after killing Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun regarded himself as a hero. He thought that since the emperor was young, he alone had the final say in all major affairs in the world. He was so confused!
When Wang Yun saw that Lu Bu had stopped talking, he changed the subject and asked casually as if chatting about family matters:
"Marquis Wen, I wonder how much money and food were obtained from the inspection of Dong Zhuo's two residences inside and outside the city?"
Who doesn't know that Dong Zhuo's family is rich? But Wang Yun had promised to give all these benefits to Lu Bu. Wang Yun considered himself a gentleman, so naturally he couldn't go back on his word.
But now if Lu Bu wants to save Cai Yong, isn't it non-negotiable to offer some benefits?
Lu Bu spread his hands and shook his head and sighed: "Hey! Don't mention it!
I thought Dong Zhuo had made a lot of money over the years!
Who knew that little gold and silver would be gone if you just randomly divided it among your brothers? There is only a little bit of old sesame and rotten millet left! "
Wang Yun's mouth almost turned to the back of his head: Who believes this!
Lu Bu then said, "Can I go visit Cai Yong in prison?"
Wang Yun laughed and said: "This is natural!"
——
Cai Wenji had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When Lu Bu came back, she rushed to greet him and asked, "Marquis Wen, how is it?"
Lu Bu sighed and deliberately made an annoyed expression and said, "Oh! Wang Yun won't let go!
He said that now that Dong Zhuo is dead, he must use your father to set a rule and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, so that the world can see that those who sympathize with Dong Zhuo will not end well..."
This matter is actually not difficult, but he has to make Cai Wenji find it difficult!
Cai Wenji rolled her eyes and was about to faint after hearing the bad news.
Lu Bu quickly stretched out his arms and hugged her, shouting: "Madam! Madam, wake up!"
Cai Wenji looks thin, but she feels soft to the touch. Hmm...it doesn't feel prickly...
After a while, Cai Wenji woke up leisurely and couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she saw Lu Bu hugging her.
He hurriedly pushed Lu Bu away and said, "Thank you very much, Marquis Wen, for making a trip for me. I am very grateful... I will visit you another day to thank you. I will take my leave now..."
Seeing that the little beauty was about to leave, Lu Bu stopped him and asked, "Where are you going, madam? Do you have any other way to save Cai Zhonglang?"
"I...have searched for everyone I can find...if it doesn't work, I'll go visit Wang Situ again and beg..."
Cai Wenji shook her head helplessly, her eyes could not help but turn red again. It really made me feel pity for her.
Lu Bu said: "Madam, please don't be anxious. Wait until I can think of other solutions?"
After hearing this, Cai Wenji couldn't help but feel hopeful again: "Is there any way Marquis Wen can save my father?"
Lu Bu said: "Wang Yun will not take action against Cai Zhonglang for a while. I will just find a way to rescue him as soon as possible."
"Then...thank you Marquis Wen!" Cai Wenji wanted to bow down again.
Lu Bu supported him and said, "Madam, there is no need to be polite. Lu Bu has always respected Mr. Cai's knowledge and character!
Now that my husband is in trouble and his wife comes to seek help, why should he just sit back and do nothing?
Although I can't rescue Cai Zhonglang yet, I can take you to see him in prison! "
"Really?!" Cai Wenji's surprise was written all over her face.
Lu Bu had his chariot harnessed, and prepared two clothes and a lot of food. He let Cai Wenji ride in the chariot, and then he rode the red rabbit horse to the prison.
Lu Bu is now also a famous man in Chang'an City. How can the prison guards dare to stop him?
After entering the cell, Cai Yong and his daughter had to cry bitterly when they saw each other.
Lu Bu prepared the food and persuaded Cai Yong to eat some. How could Cai Yong still eat?
He took Lu Bu's arm and said, "Marquis Wen! I already know that I was wrong. Please ask Marquis Wen to say a nice word for me in front of Wang Situ!"
I am willing to suffer torture, be it pinching my face, having my feet cut off, or being castrated as long as I am spared my life..."
Lu Bu only thought it was funny. Cai Yong was scared to death now. Why did he go there so early?
Yin sighed and expressed Wang Yun's fear that future generations would laugh at him if he wrote these shameful things in a history book.
Cai Yong said hurriedly: "Then...then I would like to ask Marquis Wen to tell the prince that I won't write anything! I will live in seclusion in the countryside..."
Lu Bu sighed: "This is just an excuse for Wang Yun to kill one person as a warning to others!
If you don’t write it, why don’t others write it?
He, Wang Yun, is just a narrow-minded person, how can he block the mouths of thousands of princes in the world? "
Cai Yong seemed to be deflated after hearing this. He covered his face with his sleeves and cried bitterly.
Cai Wenji choked with sobs and comforted her: "Father, don't worry, Marquis Wen has promised to find another way to rescue you..."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Bu expectantly.
"Really..." Cai Yong also looked at Lu Bu expectantly.
Lu Bu said: "How could such a talented sir die in prison in such a daze?
It's just that Wang Yun now holds the power alone and can't listen to anyone else..."
Cai Yong and his daughter looked at each other again, their disappointment palpable.
Lu Bu hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Actually... I have thought of a way, but I have to wrong my wife..."
Cai Wenji hurriedly said: "What can Marquis Wen do? As long as I can save my father, let alone make me suffer a little wrong, I am willing to die!"
Cai Yong also looked at Lu Bu eagerly, with a longing for life in his eyes.
Lu Bu coughed and said, "Actually, my solution... is to tell outsiders that my wife and I have already had an engagement..."
"ah?"
Cai Wenji first let out a sigh, and then her pretty face suddenly turned red.
She never expected that Lu Bu would have such an idea!
But it does seem to be an idea. Cai Wenji and Lu Bu are engaged, so wouldn’t Cai Yong become Lu Bu’s father-in-law?
It all depends on the owner. Wang Yun, do you have to think carefully about killing Lu Bu's father-in-law?
