Chapter 3 The King of Natural Power (1)

The spring of the fifth year of Xiping ushered in a great opportunity for the Han court, who had already been in a state of twilight.

Emperor Liu Hong of Han ascended the throne at the age of twelve and finally had blood in his bones and blood in eight years.

Meiren He, who was very favored by the emperor, gave birth to a son named Liu Bian. Meiren He was originally from Wan, Nanyang, and also belonged to a powerful force in the local area. However, the ancestors of the He family were despised and were born as butchers, so they were not accepted by local families.

After He Meiren's father He Zhen took over, he tried to change this situation.

He made friends with local powerful people and spared no expense to spend his family's wealth. At the same time, he worked hard to cultivate his eldest son He Jin, but unexpectedly, the daughter he had never valued. It was the Han Emperor's talent show that He Zhen sent his daughter to the palace with the idea that someone in the court was easy to do. Unexpectedly, the Han Emperor fell in love with him immediately after seeing the He family. After a few spring breezes, he actually gave birth to a son for the Han Emperor. The He family's status naturally rose.

Longxi Lintao, the sun is shining.

This was a rare and good weather. Li Ru was in a good mood when he walked on the street.

After marrying Dong Zhuo's daughter, he quickly gained Dong Zhuo's trust and became a core member of the Dong family with his relationship as a father-in-law and son-in-law, thanks to his father-in-law and son-in-law, and he was not a mediocre person himself. Although he lived outside most of the time, if Dong Zhuo had anything to do, he would be the first person he thought of.

This time he went to the Dong family, he wanted to tell Dong Zhuo something good.

After years of hard work, the result was finally obtained. The Emperor of Han issued an edict to appoint Dong Zhuo as the prefect of Hedong. Previously, Dong Zhuo stayed in the position of Xusi Captain for two years. Although he was responsible for pursuing the Qiang people, he had a lot of power. However, compared with the position of Hedong prefect, it was obviously nothing.

The lieutenant of Xu Si is just someone else's gun.

But now he has become the prefect. Although he is still someone else's gun, the person holding the gun is different from the past.

Li Ru vaguely felt that Dong Zhuo's days of success were not far away. As Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, his future was bright.

The more I thought about it, the happier I felt. Li Ru couldn't help but hum a small song.

Dismounted in front of the Dong Mansion, he walked into the mansion with great strides. As Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Li Ru came to the Dong Mansion a lot of times. The servants did not stop him. After paying homage to Li Ru, they all went to work hard.

"Where is my father-in-law?" Li Ru came to the backyard and first greeted her mother-in-law. Li Ru's mother-in-law was a Qiang woman with a violent temperament, even better than Dong Zhuo. She was originally the daughter of Haoshuai, the leader of the Qiang people, and after marrying Dong Zhuo, she was determined to plan for Dong Zhuo. In this Dong Mansion, the person Dong Zhuo respects the most is his wife.

Dong is very smart, but one thing is bad, that is, he is too jealous.

Originally, I was not very good at origin, and I had not been able to give birth to a son for Dong Zhuo for so many years, which made me feel even more of a sense of crisis.

Dong Qi's mother was originally Dong's personal maid, but unexpectedly she was pregnant with Dong Zhuo's bones and blood.

Dong, who was afraid that Ajuan would take away her status, immediately rushed Dong Qi's mother to the kitchen and tortured her with various means. But she didn't expect that Ajuan died and gave birth to a son for Dong Zhuo. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo was not happy with that ugly ghost, so Dong didn't take it seriously.

Speaking of which, Dong Zhuo's appearance is not good-looking. But Dong's three daughters are all like flowers and have married three good men. Unfortunately, the eldest daughter went to the Western Regions with her husband and had no news for many years. But the other two daughters are also successful, and both sons-in-law are capable, which makes Dong's status in the family more and more stable and his heart becomes stable.

When Li Ru met, Dong was having lunch break.

She replied lazily: "Your father-in-law and your brother-in-law went out early in the morning. It seems that he was dealing with some dispute. I guess he will come back at sunset. Wen Zheng, Yuan'er? I haven't seen her come back for a long time. I'm very worried about it."

Li Ru hurriedly bowed and said, "Everything is fine in Yuan'er. A few days ago, I told my son-in-law that he wanted to go home and see him... It is a sin to let his mother-in-law worry about him. After the son-in-law returned, he asked Yuan'er to go home. If there was no order, the son-in-law would go down first."

"Go, I'm a little tired!" Dong lies on the couch, his eyes half-closed. But when Li Ru was about to go out, she suddenly opened her eyes, "By the way, Huang was clamoring to find you two days ago... He should be in the martial arts venue now. If nothing is wrong, go and see him. Your father-in-law will have to wait for a while before he comes back."

"Son-in-law obeys the order!"

Li Ru responded and exited the room.

Huang, whose full name is Dong Huang, is the son of Dong Zhuo's elder brother Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo only has one brother, and this brother loves him very much. Unfortunately, he died early and only one son was left, Dong Huang.

Dong Zhuo was very spoiled to Dong Huang, just like his own son, and he cultivated him in every way.

Li Ru knew very well that Dong Huang would never offend him if he wanted to further gain Dong Zhuo's trust. Seeing that it was still early, he simply walked towards the martial arts venue. While walking, he thought about how to make Dong Zhuo trust him more.

Dong Huang is eighteen years old, seven feet tall and upright.

To be honest, he doesn't look like Dong Zhuo at all, he looks very pretty, has a jade-like face, and always has a harmless smile on his face.

But Li Ru knew that this handsome young man was not as harmless as the smile on his face.

In Lintao, no one knows that Dong Huang is a domineering person. It is very common to steal a big girl and not pay for food. The gangsters in Lintao are mainly Dong Huang, and relying on Dong Zhuo's favor for him, they don't even take the government seriously.

Dong Huang was practicing fists and feet in the martial arts field, sweating profusely.

When he saw Li Ru walking in, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Brother-in-law, what are you busy with when I haven't come one day?"

Dong Yuan and Dong Huang are the same age as Dong Huang, but they were born one month earlier than Dong Huang.

Li Ru smiled faintly, "What can I do? What are you doing? Ah Xiu, I heard you had a fight with someone two days ago?"

A Xiu is Dong Huang's nickname. Since he is only eighteen years old, he has no words. This A Xiu sounds like a girl's name, but it just fits Dong Huang's appearance. After calling him for more than ten years, Dong Huang has already gotten used to it.

"A small thing is just a few eyesless guys looking for a fight."

Dong Huang smiled and took a bowl of water from the servant. After drinking it all, he answered indifferently.

"A small matter? They have sued the government!"

"So what about the government? In Lintao, my uncle's words are more effective than the government. If you don't say this, why do you have time to see me today?"

Li Ru sat down on a stone lock and said with a smile: "Of course I'm here to deliver the letter."

"Send a letter?"

"The court heard that my father-in-law is going to be promoted!"

"Gao Sheng?" Dong Huang's eyes rolled, "What official?"

"The prefect of Hedong, it is estimated that the people from the Heavenly Court will come tomorrow and after."

Dong Huang was overjoyed when he heard this and waved his fist hard, "Hedong? That's a good place. Uncle became the prefect of Hedong, so don't we all go to Hedong with him?"

"It should be!" Li Ru nodded, "I chatted with my father-in-law a few days ago. I heard that he wanted you to experience it. A Xiu, my father-in-law attaches great importance to you and cannot say that this huge family business in the future will be yours."

"Where, where!"

Dong Huang's eyes turned twice, "Uncle is in full swing in the spring and autumn, and he will definitely be promoted in the future. I wish I could do my job for my uncle one day earlier, but as for this business, it has nothing to do with me. Uncle has a son, and no matter how bad he is, he will have two brother-in-law."

Li Ru's heart moved, "My brother-in-law and I are outsiders after all, A Xiu was joking!"

At the same time, I thought: I heard Yuan'er say that she has a younger brother, nicknamed A Chou. It is said that A Chou is not favored by his father-in-law, and his mother-in-law doesn't like him either. Although the old man favors A Chou, he is 62 years old after all. When the old man leaves, A Chou... Although Yuan'er asked me to take care of him, I have never seen this person before.

If it weren't for Dong Huang's mention, Li Ru would have even forgotten Dong Yuan's words.

He couldn't help but hesitate. If Dong Zhuo could still have a son in the future, he would naturally be loyal to Dong Zhuo's son. But if Dong Zhuo had no son, the family business of the Dong family might not be handed over to that A Chou in the future. Dong Huang's words were obviously testing, where should he, Li Ru go? Will he assist that A Chou? This future is a bit slim.
