The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 84 The Truth
Du Xun was discouraged, and never dared to laugh wildly like before. The entire wolf cavalry battalion was here, so Lu Bu's identity would naturally not be false.He could only shrink his thick and short neck in order to avoid the sharp and cold silver halberd blade. As a result, when his whole head was almost retracted into the official uniform, Fang Tian's painted halberd was still standing there impartially. An inch from where his throat would be.

Du Xun had no choice but to stick out his head, showing a smile uglier than crying, and waved his hands again and again, saying: "General Lu, I misunderstood and misunderstood, we are all from my family, please don't hurt your peace..."

Hearing this, Lu Bu withdrew the halberd, wiped it lightly with his sleeve robe, and saw that the fat county magistrate was relieved, and then followed his words: "Since the county magistrate said he was one of us, then Lu Mou is also welcome, I will take Gao Shun back first."

"This, this, this..." How could Du Xun decide this? If he didn't have the documents above, he would take away the executed prisoner. He was guilty of dereliction of duty and would be stripped of his official hat.However, when he caught sight of Lv Bu's gloomy gaze back, the fat county magistrate, who was blushing with anxiety, chose to compromise wisely, and nodded and bowed with a smile, "You can do whatever you want, whatever you want..."

Liao Ji, who is also a school lieutenant, was not much better. He stood aside empty-handed. He didn't have the slightest intention of resisting, which made Liao Ji feel extremely aggrieved: They are also soldiers who practice every day, so why is there such a big difference?
All the shackles on Gao Shun's body were removed, and the family of three reunited and hugged each other with tears in their eyes.Just when everyone thought the matter had come to an end, they suddenly said in a strange accent: "General Lu, you are probably breaking the rules by doing this?"

Lu Bu glanced at the well-known son of the Zhou family in Qiangyang County, and said indifferently, "It's not up to you to tell me whether this is in line with the rules."

Zhou Fu sneered when he heard the words, took a few steps forward, and stopped three feet away from Lu Bu, with a sense of rivalry: "Even if you took Gao Shun away today, he is still a murderer, I would rather Let's see how long you can shelter him."

The deliberately loud voice reached Gao Shun's ears, especially the three words 'murderer' pierced Gao Shun's heart like a needle.Looking at Zhou Fu's sinister and calculating face, Gao Shun cupped his fists towards Lu Bu and said loudly: "General, Gao Shun didn't kill anyone!"

"He was the one who really killed Xue Lan!" Gao Shun pointed at Zhou Fu, "Yesterday he admitted to me in prison that he was the real murderer."

Everyone was in an uproar for an instant, and they didn't know whether what Gao Shun said was true or not, so they all turned their eyes to Zhou Fu to see what he had to say.

Zhou Fu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, shook his head without any sign of panic and said, "Gao Shun, I didn't expect you to bite me back. What is your intention? Also, Xue Lan has always been my confidant, How could I harm him? Besides, my servant saw you kill Xue Lan with a knife, and you are still sophistrying, who would believe your side of the story!"

In terms of eloquence, Gao Shun, who has always been reticent, naturally cannot win against Zhou Fu.

Seeing that Gao Shun couldn't tell, Lu Bu took a step forward, the powerful aura exuding from his body forced Zhou Fu to stagger back a step involuntarily, and there was even a hint of embarrassment in his tone: "What do you want to do!"

Lu Bu stared straight at Zhou Fu with eyes like an eagle, and said four words: "I believe in Gao Shun!"

Zhou Fu's face froze, and before he could speak, he heard Cao Xing not far away join in the fun, raised his hand and said loudly: "I believe it too!"

"I believe him too." Song Xian was the third one.

I believe... I believe... and me!I also believe...

All the soldiers of the Wolf Riding Battalion who were in the same spirit roared and responded.

For the first time in his life, Gao Shun was so dazed that he didn't know what to say, so he could only look left and right at this group of rough and cute guys, as if something like a fire in his heart was completely ignited.

They were strangers in life, and they had no intersection before that, but now they are willing to speak out for him, trust him, and support him.

In Gao Shun's opinion, this sound of "letter" is far more tempting than the rich salary of gold and silver.

He Gao Shun remembered this kindness.

But at this moment Zhou Fu's face was turning blue and white, quite ugly.

Zhou Fu, whose face was as heavy as water, narrowed his slender eyes, leaned forward, and said in a voice that only he and Lu Bu could hear, "Lu Bu, are you deliberately trying to get along with me?"

Lu Bu dismissed this, he looked back at Gao Shun, and said as if he had made up his mind: "You are right, if I just take Gao Shun away today, he will have to kill people behind his back for the rest of his life." guilty reputation."

"General!" Gao Shun seemed to have guessed Lu Bu's thoughts, and called out sadly and bitterly.

Without waiting for Gao Shun's words to come out, Lu Bu waved his hand, sat down in Du Xun's seat, and said loudly, "Today, I will retry this case in front of all the people in the county. So Gao Shun is innocent."

It is a rare and new thing for the general to try the case, not to mention the fact that Lu Bu, who has recently become famous, tried the case himself.

The onlookers were immediately excited, clapping their hands and cheering. They also wanted to see how this good show would start.

At this time, Zhou Fu flew over like a fly again, buzzing in Lu Bu's ears non-stop: "General Lu, it seems that it is not your duty to open the trial."

Lu Bu secretly scolded the lingering guy, and his heart became irritated by Zhou Fu's nagging. He stretched out his thumb and pointed at himself, and his voice was extremely military: "Now I am the biggest here, that is me. It’s up to me, if you don’t agree with me, I’ll hold back for you!”

There is absolutely no reason to talk to such a person.

"You, you, you..." Zhou Fu was caught off guard by these words, pointed at Lu Bu, and was speechless for a long time.

Lu Bu didn't bother to talk to Zhou Fu anymore, so he slapped the gavel on the case table and said sharply, "Bring all the people who know about this incident."

Soon, five or six civilians were brought up, and one of them was Wang Hu who was kicked off Xingtai by Lu Bu.

As for the trial, Lu Bu was really a big girl getting on the sedan chair—for the first time, but Gao Shun's wealth and life were at stake, so Lu Bu had no choice but to bite the bullet and get on.

Lu Bu, who had never entered the officialdom, had a very simple mind. He believed that as long as he found out the real culprit and reported it to the old general, he would be able to clear Gao Shun's innocence.

Lu Bu first had a rough understanding of the whole incident, and then interrogated several people one by one, but the results were almost the same. These people all insisted that they saw Gao Shun kill Xue Lan and push her body to the ground. into the river.

Gao Shun also admitted that he had indeed seen Xue Lan on the day of the incident.

As for Xue Lan's body, it is unknown where it was washed by the current.

This is going to be troublesome. If the body of the deceased can be found, maybe a clue can be found.Now not only is there no proof, but even the only breakthrough is unknown. How can Gao Shun be proved innocent.

Lu Bu is a bit big-headed, and he should have brought the trick if he knew it earlier. If it was him, he would definitely have a way.

Just when there was no progress in the case, a voice suddenly burst out from the crowd: "Xue Lan is here!"

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, a young man with a cold appearance squeezed out of the crowd.

When Gao Shun was beaten last time, Lu Bu had seen this young man, yes, he was Xue Lan.

Xue Lan walked up to Zhou Fu, stared at the former master, and said in a cold tone: "I didn't expect that, I'm still alive."

Zhou Fu's face changed color for a moment, but he hid it well again. He shook his head with a smile, and said very calmly: "Brother, did you recognize the wrong person?"

"Why, don't you dare to admit it?"

Xue Lan sneered, and tore off the clothes on his upper body abruptly, only to see an inch-long scar on the abdomen of his muscular body, the wound was bright red and hadn't healed yet.

Xue Lan stared at Zhou Fu with burning eyes, and asked loudly, "I have worked for you for so many years, but in the end, you treat me like this?"

"Do you still remember that back then you believed an old Taoist's rumor that a baby's blood was good for longevity, and it was I who robbed and secretly stole a dozen babies under the age of one for you and bled them!"

"When you meet something you like, you should frame the person first, and then send me to deliver gold, silver and jewelry to the county magistrate, and secretly collude. Don't tell me you can't forget it!"

"Also, you want to dig up the grave of Gao Shun's mother in order to build the manor, and you sent me to use insidious and despicable methods to beat Gao Shun every now and then to force him to submit..."

Xue Lan told all about Zhou Fu and Du Xun's embarrassment in the past, and heard that the common people were angry with both humans and gods, gnashing their teeth, wishing to eat their flesh raw and drink their blood angrily.

Du Xun's face was pale, and if it wasn't for someone supporting him, he might faint on the spot.

Zhou Fu, who had always been calm, lost his temper at this moment, pointed at Xue Lan and yelled angrily: "You are not Xue Lan at all, say, who ordered you to impersonate Xue Lan to frame me and the county magistrate, and what are your intentions! "

"That's right, that's right, this person is not Xue Lan at all!" Du Xun seemed to have grasped at the last straw, and firmly insisted that this person was not Xue Lan.

Lu Bu could prove this person, but if he said it, it would be suspected of partiality, so he had to look at the people around him and asked loudly: "Is there anyone who can prove this person's identity?"

The people looked at me and I looked at you, and fell silent for a while.Although they were extremely resentful, they still had to live here in the future. The Zhou family was not something they could afford to offend, not to mention Zhou Fu's eyes at the moment said it all, whoever dared to stand up would be killed by him.

Someone once went to the county government to sue Zhou Fu with conclusive evidence. As a result, that person was hacked to death on the street, and Zhou Fu was still running around the county with his usual swagger.

The cruel reality made them dare not trust the so-called parents and officials, let alone the illusory word 'justice'.

The crowd was silent, Zhou Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he was very satisfied with the answer and effect. He frowned, restrained his gloomy eyes, and said to Lu Bu with a smile: "Since no one can prove that this person is Xue Lan, then the series of words he just said can't be taken seriously, for this reason, I have to sue him for maliciously slandering the imperial court official. General, see...how should this person be punished."

The truth finally came to light, but these people were afraid of Zhou Fu and refused to come forward to testify. This made Lu Bu feel powerless and didn't know where to start.

At this time, a young man with a flat nose walked out from among the people and said to Lu Brown, "My lord, I can prove that this person is Xue Lan."

Hearing this loud voice, Zhou Fu's complexion suddenly darkened to the bottom of the valley, and the surrounding eyes turned to that young man.

A centurion behind Liao Ji saw the young man's appearance, and couldn't help calling out: "Li Su, you're crazy!"
