Chapter 375: Trading

Entering the mansion and entering the hall, Zhang asked Lu Bu to sit down, and the servants in the mansion quickly brought melons, fruits and food to the table.

These fruits are all tributed from Fanbang in the Western Regions, and there are also 'Pu Tao' worth thousands of dollars that were seen in the Chang'an market that day.

"Zhang Changshi, please come over this time, I don't know what happened?"

Lu Bu asked out loud, picked a grape by the way, put it in his mouth and chewed it, sweet and sour, with an endless aftertaste. Then he picked two more and handed them to Chen and Huang, who were standing behind him.

The two took it respectfully, and Lu Bu was able to think about them in everything, which moved the two of them in their hearts.

"Our family has been famous for a long time, and we have long been acquainted, but the villain instigated it, so that our family misunderstood the general again and again. I invited the general to come over today, just because I wanted to compensate the general in person. Zhang Rang, who was wearing a purple silk robe, spoke in a kind tone, and when he took off his palace eunuch uniform, he looked like an ordinary rich old man in the city.

"Zhang Changshi, if you have something to say, just say it, Lu is a rough man, and he doesn't have so many crooked intestines."

Lu Bu said in a calm tone, Zhang Rang wanted to kill himself several times, how could he not blame the past with this fake sentence or two.

Zhang Rang was not angry, he patted his palm, and the servant outside the door held a square red lacquered wooden box, walked into the hall, and placed it on the desk in front of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Rang, who smiled at him and made a gesture asking him to open it.

Chen and Huang were afraid that there was fraud in this, so they stepped forward one left and one right, and the two of them held one side and carefully opened the wooden box.

At first, Lu Bu thought that Zhang Rang wanted to erase the grievances between them by giving gifts, so it should be filled with priceless antique treasures, or strange treasures from the Western Regions.

However, after opening it, Lu Bu's face was slightly surprised, it was not gold, silver and jade, but a bloody human head.

Lu Bu has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has killed countless people, and he is naturally not scared of a single head.

What surprised him was that the human head in the box would actually be Zhang Li.

Zhang Li was not surnamed Zhang, but after he took refuge in Zhang Rang, in order to please his master, he deliberately changed his surname. As for what the original surname was, there is no way to know.

This guy who once wanted to put himself to death in Wancheng probably never dreamed that he would die at the hands of the master he wanted to please the most.

Lu Bu glanced at his head, then looked away and asked Zhang Rang, "Zhang Changshi, what does this mean?" ”

"The general doesn't know that this person has murdered the general many times before, and almost killed the general."

Zhang Rang pretended to be sad and counted Zhang Li's past bad deeds: "This is not counted, after our family sent someone to investigate, he lied about his exploits and deceived his superiors and subordinates, and took all the credit of the general on himself." Such a villain, our family categorically can't keep him! ”

Regardless of three-seven-twenty-one, Zhang Rang put everything on Zhang Li's head and let him take the blame for himself, anyway, Zhang Li is dead, and he can't open his mouth at this time.

Zhang Rang was able to go from an ordinary court servant to his current status, relying on thick black's scheming and means, and those henchmen and disciples who were attached to him, as long as necessary, he could kill and abandon them at any time.

Now, in order to show his sincerity in making peace with Lu Bu, he specially sent someone to assassinate Zhang Li two days ago, and quickly transported his head to Luoyang.

In Lu Bu's opinion, the grudge between him and the Ten Standing Servants is not enough for a single head in Zhangli.

Lu Bu didn't go around in circles and got straight to the point: "Lu has a matter, if Zhang Changzhi can help me complete it, we will write off the previous past grievances." ”

When Zhang Rang heard this, his face became serious: "General, please speak." ”

The physical condition of the Son of Heaven is getting worse every day, and Zhang Rang knows better than anyone else.

He hoped to be able to take Lubra to his own boat and use it for his own use. In this way, even if He Jin forcibly attacked in the future, with Lu Bu's strength, it would not be difficult to keep them.

"I want Wuyuan County to guard Yan Xin and serve as the assassin of the state." Lu Bu made a condition, he originally wanted to wait until his position was completely stabilized before asking the Son of Heaven to ask. But now that Zhang Rang wants to win himself over, why not take this opportunity and ask Zhang Rang to explore the wind first. This old eunuch has always figured out the mind of the Son of Heaven.

"This ......"

Zhang Rang's tone dragged on for a long time, obviously feeling embarrassed, and he didn't respond for a long time. The imperial court has a clear text that the state assassin history of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty cannot be held by local officials or scholars, in order to prevent collusion with each other and the formation of a huge separatist force.

He wants to promote this, and it is estimated that someone in the court will immediately use this as an article to attack him.

Seeing Zhang Rang hesitating there, Lu Bu guessed that Zhang Rang could facilitate this matter, but he weighed it in his heart, so he put a high hat on him: "This matter, others will definitely not be able to do it." According to a certain estimate, only Zhang Changshi can do this. ”

Hearing Lu Bu raise like this, Zhang Rang was a little happy in his heart, and after thinking about it again, he replied: "This matter is not difficult, but if it can be done, our family also has one thing to ask the general." ”

"Zhang Changshi, please speak."

Zhang Rang let go, Lu Bu was undoubtedly happy, as long as Zhang Rang's conditions were not too excessive, he could agree.

Because Lu Bu clearly knows that the current assassin history is the future state pastor.

The so-called state pastor is the lord of a state, above the county guard, and in charge of all the military and political powers in the state.

In other words, it is the local soil emperor officially certified by the imperial court.

What Zhang Rang wanted was power in Luoyang City, and what Lu Bu wanted was the domination of a state. There is no direct conflict between them on the point of interest.

"The grievances between our family and the general are probably heard of by the generals. The general believed in the group of Zishi clan members under his command, and it was not for a while that he wanted to get rid of us, and it was only because of His Majesty's checks and balances that the general did not dare to act rashly. Zhang Rang first explained the situation to Lu Bu, and then said his request: "What our family wants to ask the general is that if one day in the future, when we are in trouble and the general wants to take our lives, please ask the general to save my life." ”

After hearing these words, Lu Bu was quite surprised in his heart. The world says that Zhang Rang relied on sycophancy to ascend to the throne, but today it seems that it may not be all.

Speaking of the old eunuch's vision alone, he is one of the most vicious, and he can have such a keen sense of crisis.

"Okay, I promise you. If Zhang Changshi falls into trouble in the future, Lu will do his best to save him. "Lu Bu responded to Zhang Rang's request, if Yan Xin could be allowed to sit in the position of the assassin of the state, even if Zhang Rang's life was saved, it didn't matter much to him.

Zhang Rang saw that Lu Bu should respond, and his thin old face regained his kindness again.

This private deal can be regarded as a conclusion.

Before leaving, Zhang Rang took more than ten rare treasures that had been prepared a long time ago and gave them to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu confiscated it, the thing is a good thing, but it is very hot.
