Chapter 34 Signing and Binding
In response to Lü Ping's words.
Zheng Xin, who was kneeling, was stunned because the person in front of him could actually guess his identity—the Zheng family.
Lu Bu, who was always ready to take action, was surprised to find that the person in front of him was the enemy who had seized his manor.
As for Shen Pei and Cheng Lian, who were standing to one side, they had already guessed the identity of the young man in front of them. The young man's reaction at this moment confirmed that their guess was correct. What shocked them was actually just Lü Ping's words about rebellion.
How many armors and how much grain were secretly hidden?
Furthermore, the actions of Zheng's troops, who pretended to be mountain bandits and looted and burned grain and fodder, were both legitimate and real, directly accusing the Zheng family of rebellion!
You should know that rebellion will result in the extermination of nine generations of your family!
Thinking this, Shen Pei and Cheng Lian, the two few who actually had a brain, couldn't help but exchange a glance, and they could see the shock in the other person's eyes.
Needless to say.
This Lu Bo is really going to kill us!
Looking at the young man's reaction.
Lu Ping's lips curled up slightly.
He knew he had guessed correctly. The bandits who dared to rob the grain convoy and even kill Wang Fangbo's nephew were indeed the Zheng family members who had previously joined forces with Wang De to seize his manor.
That's good now.
Now I can openly and legitimately take revenge on myself!
Lu Ping carefully took out a few slightly yellowed pieces of cloth from his pocket. They looked like strips of cloth, but they weren't. He slowly unfolded them in his hand, as if afraid that they would break.
Shen Pei, who was observing Lü Ping's movements from the side, recognized him at a glance, and raised an eyebrow.
"This is Cai Hou paper."
"When did you find Zizhi?"
Lu Ping smiled and turned his head to look at him.
"It is indeed Cai Hou paper, but it has been improved by us Jiuyuan people."
"I stumbled upon this while strolling around the city today. I found it quite unusual, since it could be used to write, so I thought I'd get a few sheets to play with."
"Who knew it would come in handy now."
Is it useful?
Shen Pei and Shen Zhengnan were somewhat puzzled when they heard this.
Before he could ask any questions.
Lu Ping drew a finely crafted short knife from his waist, squatted down in front of the young man kneeling on the ground, whose mouth was covered in blood, held the knife in one hand, and placed a piece of paper that had been improved and was not so easily torn in front of the young man with the other.
"Can you write?" Lü Ping asked with a smile.
The young man hesitated for a long time, not daring to speak.
Seeing that the young man was still uncooperative, Lü Ping didn't tolerate him. He drew his knife and slashed the young man's thigh.
Blood flowed freely!
This caused the young man to wince in pain and cry out in surprise.
Seeing their young lord in such a sorry state, almost to the point of death, the Zheng family's retainers outside finally couldn't hold back any longer.
A slightly older member of the Zheng family's collateral branch called out loudly a few times.
A commotion ensued.
Immediately afterwards, led by the middle-aged member of the Zheng family's collateral branch, they all stepped forward, intending to take action and snatch their young lord back from Lü Ping and the others.
only...
Before they could even make a move, an arrow flew out instantly!
It pierced straight into the face of the middle-aged man from a collateral branch of the Zheng family who had previously inspired everyone!
The collateral branch of the Zheng family collapsed in response!
"Who dares to move?"
Wei Yue, who had been looking for an opportunity to show off in front of Lü Bo, hurriedly shot an arrow before Cao Xing could make a move. At this moment, he slowly retracted his bow and sneered.
"Those who act without authorization will be executed!"
Cao Xing, who was originally preparing to draw his sword and lead a group of wandering knights to fight, noticed Wei Yue's actions and, unusually, raised his eyes to look at Wei Yue a few more times.
Then, he remained silent.
at this time.
It was clear that the leader of the collateral branch of the Zheng family was dead, and the young master of the Zheng family was kneeling inside.
Even though there were a hundred Zheng family retainers on the periphery, they remained silent at this moment, their aura momentarily halted.
Inner perimeter.
Seeing that his own retinue was so useless, and that he was at the mercy of others, he felt like a fish on a chopping block.
The young man finally became dejected. He became more and more obedient. For every sentence Lü Ping said, he would use his finger to dip into the bloodstains on his thigh and write a sentence on the pale yellow Cai Lun paper, completely losing his previous arrogance.
Time passed slowly.
The paper is covered with writing; everything that needed to be written has been written!
Lu Ping's smile grew even wider.
He chuckled softly.
"And finally, write your name and affix your seal!"
"I'll stop writing now."
"I will spare your life."
Looking at the indictment in front of him, filled with details of the Zheng family's crimes.
The young man's eyes were filled with struggle; his breathing became slightly rapid, and his fists were clenched tightly.
He almost resisted.
But...
Under the somewhat indifferent gaze of Lü Ping, and the curious gaze of Lü Bu, who had just slapped him and nearly killed him, he was left alone.
at last.
The burly man, still trembling, raised his hand and signed his name on the reddish Cai Lun paper.
With his writing.
His identity has also been revealed:
Zheng Xin, the second son of the Zheng family's direct lineage, who monopolized most of the private market in Jiuyuan City!
.......
"Father, shouldn't we spare Zheng Xin?"
Just as when we arrived.
Lü Ping and the others left in a very hurry.
After obtaining the letter of accusation personally written by Zheng Xin, the young master of the Zheng family, and by taking Zheng Xin hostage, they managed to escape the encirclement and mount their horses. They then kindly abandoned the young master of the Zheng family, who was already suffering from excessive blood loss and whose survival was uncertain.
They sped straight toward Jiuyuan City.
Faced with the doubts of his rather foolish, cheap eldest son.
Lu Ping sighed helplessly. He was too lazy to bother with his foolish eldest son anymore. He simply took out the Cai Lun paper covered in blood and carefully placed it into the pocket of his clothes after making sure the bloodstains had dried completely.
Seeing that Lü Ping did not answer.
On one side, Shen Pei, who desperately wanted to kill Zheng Xin, but was forced by circumstances to let Zheng Xin, who had killed his own clansman's nephew, live a few more days, let out a long breath and began to explain to Lü Bu.
"Fengxian".
"It's not that we don't want to kill, it's that we can't kill!"
"If we kill them, you're more skilled and will most likely be able to fight your way out, but we'll most likely be trapped inside!"
"I wonder if Fengxian has ever read the classics? There is a saying in the Analects: 'A small lack of forbearance can ruin a great plan!'"
"Even if we let Zheng Xin go today, he won't live more than a few days!"
After discovering who the leader of the bandits who robbed the caravan was, Shen Pei felt a bit relieved. He unusually rambled on for so long, wanting to explain to Lü Bu why he had let Zheng Xin go despite their deep-seated hatred.
But the foolish Lü Bu only heard one sentence from it: "Fengxian, you are extremely skilled!"
His brows gradually relaxed.
It was in the conversation of these people that it was revealed.
The group of about twenty people rode their horses hastily toward Jiuyuan City.
They didn't notice at all.
On both sides of the official road leading to Jiuyuan City, several familiar soldiers who had stopped their horses to rest stood, looking at them with puzzled expressions as they quickly departed.
