Chapter 11: The Cunning Rabbit Dies and the Dog is Cooked

  Three Kingdoms' Great Agent

  "Kill, kill, you all must die!"

  "Brother, even if I die here, I'll wait for your return, rather than abandon you."

  ……

  A low murmur, intermittently rising in the room.

  "Ah~"

  A loud cry, Dian Wei suddenly opened his eyes. His forehead was covered with dense sweat beads, and his eyes were filled with thick worry. When everything in front of him became clear, Dian Wei was greatly shocked. He found himself lying on the bed, the wounds on his body had been treated, all bandaged, but he didn't see the person who fought side by side with him.

  Where is he?

  Dian Wei looked around, his heart extremely anxious.

  Dian Wei carefully recalled that he was waiting in the bushes for a long time, but Wang Lei didn't come back. Because of excessive blood loss, he fainted at some point. Now after waking up, he found himself lying on the ground, unaware of where he was, which made Dian Wei feel unfamiliar.

  "Crack!!"

  The door opened and Wang Lei walked in with big strides.

  Wang Lei's wounds had been treated and he was wearing clean clothes. He walked to the bedside, sat down and asked with concern: "Dian brother, how is your body?"

  Dian Wei smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm fine now." After a pause, Dian Wei continued, "When I woke up, I found myself lying in bed, but I don't remember anything after the fight with Zhang Cheng. How did you get away?"

  "Wang Lei replied: 'Not one will be left, all will be killed.'"

  "Kill them all?"

  Dian Wei's eyebrows shot up in surprise and he exclaimed: "How did you manage to kill him?"

  He didn't doubt Wang Lei's strength, because Wang Lei was also injured just like him. Although Wang Lei's injury wasn't serious, his physical strength had been over-consumed. In such a situation, facing six or seven fierce soldiers would be quite dangerous.

  Wang Lei did not conceal it either, and carefully told about the time when he killed the black-clad warrior and Zhao Lan.

  Dian Wei sighed: "Encountering a crisis can be calmly dealt with, admirable."

  With Di Wei's discerning eye, he naturally saw that Wang Lei was less than twenty years old. At this age, being able to kill decisively was already quite impressive.

  Wang Lei changed the subject, no longer entangling himself in the issue of interception. "I thought that Dian brother got the money and came to intercept Zhang Cheng, so I cut off Zhang Cheng's head and treated it with slaked lime. As for the others, they were all burned to death by a fire. When Dian brother's body recovers, he can take Zhang Cheng's head to collect the money."

  Dian Wei's expression turned solemn, and he shook his head: "I killed Zhang Cheng, indeed I took someone else's money to come here, but brother you are the same. This time I have some merit, but compared to brother, it's really not worth mentioning. If it weren't for brother saving my life, I would already be a cold corpse. Zhang Cheng's head is given to brother, take it and go collect the reward, just remember to treat your brother to a drink."

  Wang Lei shook his head and said, "I didn't intercept Zhang Cheng for money, Brother Dian doesn't have to think that way."

  "Ah~"

  Dian Wei exclaimed: "Could it be that Brother is displeased with the eunuchs' arrogance? Alas, Brother is indeed a man of great ambition. At such a young age, he has such courage and magnanimity. Compared to Brother, I am ashamed."

  Wang Lei smiled lightly and did not deny it.

  Wang Lei was naturally happy to be able to enhance his position in Dwyane's mind.

  Wang Lei still felt a pang of regret, because there was no reason to keep Dian Wei. He was just a small hoodlum from the eastern city of Ye County, and his status didn't allow him to ask Dian Wei to stay and help him, this kind of thing couldn't be said out loud, it could only be left for later.

  "Brother, what's your name?" Dian Wei suddenly asked.

  "My name is Wang Lei, the 'Lei' as in three stones."

  Dian Wei burst out laughing and said: "I'm just a roughneck, I don't recognize a single character, I don't know the three stones of Phei. But rest assured, I will remember it. Wang Lei, bright and clean, with an open heart, what a good name!"

  Wang Lei smiled and thought that Da Hei Zi's explanation was not bad.

  Dian Wei said, "Brother, let's not use the term 'Dian brother' anymore. It sounds awkward to me. That's a term used among scholars. Let's just call you Dian Hei Zi instead, it sounds more pleasant to my ears."

  Wang Lei nodded in agreement, "Great minds think alike, I also think Tian Heizi is easy to get along with."

  The two of them looked at each other and burst out laughing.

  Dian Wei said, "Brother Chui, since Zhang Cheng has been killed, I must take his head back to Chenliu Commandery to report. For now, I have only received the deposit, and there is still a large sum of money that I haven't collected yet. After I collect the money, please drink with me."

  Wang Lei hesitated for a moment, then persuaded: "You are injured and the wound has just been treated. It's not suitable for long-distance travel. Why don't you rest for a few more days? When your wounds have scabbed over, I won't stop you even if you want to leave."

  Dian Wei thought for a moment and agreed.

  ……

  The provincial government office, where Ji Province Governor Han Fu lived.

  Ye County, as the seat of Ji Province, was also home to the provincial governor's mansion of Han Fu, the governor of Ji Province. Governor Han Fu was in his early forties, with rosy lips and white teeth, and had a dignified demeanor, making him a refined middle-aged man. However, Han Fu's eyebrows were not straight, but rather slightly drooping, giving people a feeling of weakness.

  In the study, Han Fu held his right hand with his left hand and was writing quickly. At this time, a servant from the government office walked in and said respectfully: "I have come to report to the governor, the county magistrate of Ye County, the cavalry captain Zhuo Shou has arrived."

  "Please!"

  Han Feng's brush did not stop, and he finished his calligraphy in one breath.

  Soon after, Zhurou walked in, bowed and saluted, "Zhurou, the county magistrate of Ye County, pays his respects to the Governor."

  "Gong Yu (Zhu Shouzi) has arrived, just in time! Quick, come and take a look at the calligraphy I've just written, and give me your critique." Han Fu's eyes sparkled with excitement as he beckoned Zhu Shou to step forward and examine it.

  Ju Xun walked up, examined it carefully, and praised: "Your calligraphy has improved again, the strokes are smooth and natural, the characters are strong and powerful, really wonderful!"

  Hahaha...

  Han Fu laughed loudly twice, looking very pleased with himself, and waved his hand saying: "Sit!"

  After the host and guest were seated, Han Fu's expression turned serious, and he said slowly: "Regarding Zhang Cheng being killed, I have already learned about it. It was done very well. But Wang Lei is a street thug who is hard to believe in. His mouth must not be tight, and it's easy for the news to leak out. Therefore, I'm looking for you to discuss how to completely cover up the matter, so as not to reveal any information."

  Ju Shou's complexion changed slightly, Han Fu is going to kill Wang Yue and silence him.

  The sly hare dies, and the running dog is cooked!

  It came too quickly.

  He was disdainful of Han Fu's methods in his heart, but Han Fu was his superior and he had reached an agreement with Wang Lei to help him open up the situation in Ye County, so he said: "Sir, killing Wang Lei is like crushing an ant, it doesn't take any effort. But Wang Lei is not a fool, he will definitely tell others about it. Once Wang Lei dies at our hands, I'm afraid someone will reveal that we sent people to assassinate Zhang Cheng, which would be unfavorable for us."

  Han Fu furrowed her brow and said: "As long as Wang Lei is alive, I will be uneasy in my heart. Think of a way."

  Zhu Xun was even more troubled in his heart, and Han Fu gave him a difficult problem! Facing Han Fu's piercing gaze, Zhu Xun had to say: "Governor, if you want to get rid of Wang Lei, I have a way."

  "Hurry up and say it!"

  Ju Shou Xin said, Wang Lei, oh Wang Lei, don't blame me for being heartless.

  I've set the plan in motion, now it's up to your luck. Ju Xuan spoke out his idea, and Han Fu burst into loud laughter after hearing it, saying: "You truly live up to being my strategist, what a great plan!"

  With a wry smile, he thought to himself that his entire lifetime of learning was being used to deal with a little rascal, how humiliating.
