In the next few days, besides occasionally summoning Dongfang Jian into the palace to talk to the Emperor about the situation overseas, he would play with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu. The three of them took Dongfang Jian around the streets and alleys of Luoyang City. In these few days, the four of them had developed a very deep friendship. Dongfang Jian had gained a more detailed understanding of the three of them through their interactions over the past few days. Cao Cao was a fierce and ambitious man. He would rather betray the world than let the world betray him. Yuan Shao was very concerned about his face. He would first consider whether there were any benefits for himself when doing anything. Needless to say, Yuan Shu would compete with Yuan Shao for many things. He was ambitious but lacked talent, indecisive, and difficult to achieve great things. It seemed that the evaluation of the three people in history was based on a certain basis.
On this day, Dongfang Jian was walking alone on the streets of Luoyang City. He felt empty. After all, he had been with the three of them for several days. Now, he was suddenly not used to being alone. Dongfang Jianxin said,"I'm alone, so be it. They're all busy." Zhang Fei and Lu Bu were taken away by Jia Xu to handle some matters. Xun You left the day after they finished talking. Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu were all people with achievements. Today, they all went to work in their respective departments.
As Dongfang Jian was walking, he suddenly heard a cry of pain. Dongfang Jian felt a little pain in his leg, and the pain brought him back to his senses. Only then did Dongfang Jian realize that he had accidentally knocked into a little boy.
The little boy sat on the ground and looked at Dongfang Jian with his eyes wide open. Dongfang Jian looked at the little boy he had bumped into. He was about seven or eight years old and looked very cute. This child would definitely be a handsome man when he grew up.
At the thought of this, Dongfang Jian immediately squatted down and helped the little boy up.""I'm sorry, little brother. I didn't pay attention when I was walking just now. I didn't hurt you, did I?”
The little boy patted the dirt off his butt and said,""It's okay, big brother. What are you thinking about? You were so entranced. Fortunately, you bumped into me. If you had bumped into someone else or something hard, it would have hurt.”
Dongfang Jian looked at the cute little boy in front of him, and the long-lost kinship in his heart involuntarily surged.""Brother, were you thinking about your family just now? I didn't notice that I bumped into you."
"Big brother, you miss your family. Didn't your family let you be together?”the little boy asked.
Dongfang Jian stood up and carried the little boy. He said,""Aren't your family worried that you're out alone?”
The little boy said," Big brother, let me tell you. I sneaked out when my father was out. My father is very strict. He wants me to study every day. I'm so annoyed."”
Dongfang Jian laughed when he heard that." If you're annoyed by studying, what else are you annoyed about? Tell big brother, I'll talk to your father.”
"I like the art of war and music. But my father said that it's not doing proper work." The little boy said," Big brother, can you put me down? I'm already an adult, not a child.”
Dongfang Jian also felt that it was reasonable for a man like him to carry a seven or eight-year-old boy in his arms. Therefore, she put him down. "Then where do you plan to play? Aren't you afraid that your father will spank you when you go back?" Dongfang Jian asked.”
"Don't worry," the little boy said."As soon as my father hits me, I'll go find my mother.”After saying that, she could not help but laugh. She didn't know what funny thing he had thought of.
Dongfang Jian immediately knew that his father was a henpecked husband. In today's society, men were superior to women. Although being afraid of his wife was nothing in the future, it would be a joke if it was said now. It seemed that his father was not really afraid of his wife, but because he loved her too much. []
"Then where do you plan to go? Can I take you there?" Dongfang Jian said.
"Okay, I want to see my father's case.”The little boy said," This afternoon, my father received a report that a person died in a house outside the south gate, so he went without even having lunch. I want to see how my father handles the case.”
Dongfang Jian said," Alright, I'll bring you there. But you have to tell me your name, your father's name, and what he does."”
"Alright!" The little boy said," My father is the magistrate of Luoyang. He's a very high official. His name is Zhou Yi. I'm his only son, Zhou Yu."
The little boy said proudly. However, they noticed Dongfang Jian's reaction when he heard his name. Zhou Yu, oh my god, I didn't expect to bump into a three-pronged troublemaker on my way here. Who in the future did not know Zhou Yu? He was a general of the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period, an outstanding military commander. Beautiful appearance, good temperament, tall and strong appearance, resourceful and decisive, broad-minded. In the Battle of Red Cliff in 208 AD, they defeated the Cao army with fewer people and laid the foundation for three parts of the world. Later, he tried to enter the Central Plains, but unfortunately died young. Zhou Yu was good at music. There was once a saying,"If the song is wrong, Zhou Lang will take care of it."
Zhou Yu should have been born in 175 A.D., which meant that he was about eight years old now. Looking at the little boy in front of him, he was about seven or eight years old. Moreover, he was cute and handsome. Moreover, his father was Zhou Yi, who had been the magistrate of Luoyang in history. All these added up and the boy in front of him looked like a living little Zhou Yu. Dongfang Jian was extremely happy. He did not expect to meet the person he wanted to see even when he was wandering around.
Dongfang Jian looked at Zhou Yu and asked in excitement," Are you sure that you are Zhou Yu?"
Zhou Yu said," What's there to be sure about? I am Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu is me. Why should I pretend to be someone else's name?"”
Dongfang Jian was overjoyed when he was certain. He immediately picked him up and spun him around. He laughed loudly and said,"Zhou Yu, I've finally found you. I've finally found you.”
Dongfang Jian's actions were like a lunatic in the eyes of the passersby. Everyone looked at him and avoided him, as if they were afraid of being stained by something.
Zhou Yu couldn't take it anymore and shouted,""Big brother, I'm so dizzy. Put me down quickly.”
Dongfang Jian only realized when he heard that. He had been too excited just now and had completely forgotten that the other party was still a child. Dongfang Jian laughed out loud as he put Zhou Yu down and said,""I'm sorry, little brother. I was too excited just now.”
Zhou Yu looked at Dongfang Jian curiously and asked,""Big brother, I don't think we knew each other before.”
"We didn't know each other in the past, but now that we know each other, you'll follow me from now on.”
Zhou Yu didn't understand what he meant. He still asked with his curious eyes,""Since we didn't know each other before, why did you say that you found me just now? I don't deserve your money.”
Dongfang Jian smiled bitterly and thought,'I'm not a fool. What should I tell you? Could it be that I knew you in the future? It's been more than 2,000 years since then. I told you that you would become a military strategist in the future. Not to mention that he didn't understand it now, even if he did, he might not believe it. He might even think that he was a complete idiot and a lunatic.
Dongfang Jian thought for a moment and said," Big Brother, I once met a fortune-teller. He said that if I meet someone called Zhou Yu in the future, my good luck will be unstoppable. In other words, this Zhou Yu is my God of Luck. I've been looking for him, but I didn't expect it to be a child like you. Now that I've finally found you, how can I not be happy?”
Dongfang Jian did not expect that his lie would actually spread throughout the Great Han Dynasty. In the future, everyone would know that Zhou Yu was Dongfang Jian's God of Luck. Dongfang Jian's people were very polite to him. Of course, there were also other forces that wanted to kill him because they believed that if they killed him, Dongfang Jian would quickly perish. However, they did not succeed in the end. It was not until Dongfang Jian became the emperor that this mystery was solved. He said that it was because he knew Zhou Yu would become great in the future when he saw his appearance. Of course, this was all in the future.
"So that's what happened!" Zhou Yu said happily. Big brother, you have to treat me better in the future. Otherwise, I'll leave and you'll never be able to find me.”
"Don't worry, Big Brother will definitely treat you well in the future." Dongfang Jian hurriedly nodded.”Although he said that, he was thinking in his heart: How can I not treat you well? If you get angry and go to Sun Ce's side, wouldn't I lose a future general and commander-in-chief of the three armies?
Sun Ce and Dongfang Jian were suddenly shocked. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were good friends who grew up together. In other words, they were childhood friends. He wondered if they knew each other now.
At the thought of this, Dongfang Jian hurriedly asked,""Zhou Yu, big brother wants to ask you a question. Can you answer truthfully?”
"That depends on the question. If it's something I don't know or something I can't tell you, then I can't tell you."”
Dongfang Jianxin said," It's said that children mature early in ancient times. Today, I finally understand." Dongfang Jian replied," You must know this question and can answer it.”
"Then you can ask."
"Do you know someone called Sun Ce?”
"Are you talking about the eldest son of Uncle Sun Jian, the Tiger of River East?”Zhou Yu said.
Dongfang Jian knew from this sentence that the two of them definitely knew each other. Judging from their tone just now, their friendship was probably not shallow. "Yes, I'm asking him." Dongfang Jian replied.”
"We know each other, and we're very close," Zhou Yu said. Every time they come to Luoyang, they stay at our house. Moreover, Big Brother Sun is very strong. He even said that when he grows up, he wants to be like Chu Bawang, and I want to be like Sun Wu. Why are you asking him?”Looking at Zhou Yu's proud face, Dongfang Jian knew that if he had waited a few more years, he would probably not have had the chance to subdue Zhou Yu. Now, while he was still young, he should still have a very high chance of subduing him.
Zhou Yu watched as Dongfang Jian returned to his previous state. His brows were furrowed for a moment, then relaxed for a moment. He did not know what he was up to. "Big brother, you haven't answered my question yet." Zhou Yu asked.”
Dongfang Jian came back to his senses and said," I don't know him, but I've heard that Sun Jian, the Tiger of River East, has a very powerful son. I thought that since you're all from River East, you should know each other. I didn't expect that you really knew each other. When you have time, introduce him to me. I like to make friends with young heroes."”
"Okay, when he comes again, I will definitely introduce him to big brother. Oh right, big brother, I still don't know your name?”Zhou Yu asked.
"My name is Dongfang Jian. Dongfang Ziheng, you can just call me Big Brother Ziheng from now on.”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he immediately opened his mouth wide in shock. His mouth was so big that an egg could fit in it. Zhou Yu said excitedly,"Are you really Dongfang Jian, the Dongfang Jian who has abandoned his family and business to return to his homeland at all costs?”
Dongfang Jian nodded." That's right, it's me. Do you know me? Am I very famous?"”
Zhou Yu gave him a look as if he was an idiot and said,""Of course I know you. My father has been nagging me these days, telling me to learn from you. He said that I have to persevere no matter how difficult it is. He said that I have to learn from your patriotic sentiments and your courage to not be afraid of danger. My ears are about to get calluses from my father's nagging.”
"Then I'm in the wrong," Dongfang Jian said with a smile."I apologize to you.”After saying that, he bowed respectfully to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu didn't seem to notice and continued,""Big brother, can you tell me some things about overseas? That way, I can tell my friends that I met the role model of the Great Han Dynasty. They will definitely be envious of me.”
" I can tell you," Dongfang Jian said." But you have to promise to go to Youzhou with me. You'll know some things about the sea there. There are a lot of Hu people there. You can ask them about some things you want to know about the sea." Besides, don't you think it's boring to stay in Luoyang all the time? One had to know that reading ten thousand books was not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.”After Dongfang Jian finished speaking, he felt that he was abducting a child. Moreover, he felt that there was something wrong with his character.
Zhou Yu clapped his hands happily." Sure! I've wanted to go out for a long time, but my father never agreed."”Zhou Yu lowered his head.
Dongfang Jian could tell from Zhou Yu's expression that if he wanted to take Zhou Yu in, he would have to get Zhou Yi to agree. Dongfang Jianxin said," Zhou Yi is also a talent. He comes from a noble family in Jiangdong. His grandfather and father are both high officials of the imperial court and are very loyal to the imperial court. If you want to persuade Zhou Yi, you have to use the imperial court as an excuse." It seems that I have to ask the Emperor to come forward. Youzhou is still lacking a chief historian. I will transfer Zhou Yi to Youzhou to take the post of chief historian. I will tie the Zhou father and son to my chariot and brand them with the Youzhou brand in their hearts and minds so that they will serve me.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Jian said to Zhou Yu,""Don't worry. I will talk to your father and ask him to agree to let you go to Youzhou Province.”
Zhou Yu immediately said happily," Really? That's great. I've long wanted to go out and travel. If Big Brother Ziheng can convince my father, I'll definitely thank you." Let's go find my father now." After saying that, Zhou Yu hurriedly pulled Dongfang Jian and ran to find his father.
Zhou Yi was the magistrate of Luoyang and was in charge of all the affairs in Luoyang. At noon today, he received a report that a farmer's family had died outside the south gate. Zhou Yi did not dare to delay and hurriedly led his men out of the city without even having lunch. When they arrived at the crime scene, there were already many people surrounding it. Zhou Yi immediately ordered the bailiffs to maintain the scene and brought the coroner to investigate the scene.
The victim was a woman, and the cause of death was hanging. Zhou Yi began to ask the people who were related to the deceased. First, he asked the deceased's husband, a farmer in his thirties. Zhou Yi did not find any flaws in the deceased's answer.
Zhou Yi thought,'From the neighbors' confessions, I can see that the husband and wife have a good relationship. They never quarrel and treat each other with respect.' The husband and wife were both honest people. The neighbors had never heard of either of them having an affair, and there were no signs of theft in the house. It seemed that it was not a murder of passion, murder, or theft. Then there was only one explanation. The deceased was believed to have hanged himself. It was a suicide.
At the thought of this, Zhou Yi said to the surrounding crowd,"Now that I have carefully investigated the scene and questioned the witnesses, I have confirmed that the deceased committed suicide and had nothing to do with anyone else. As for why the deceased committed suicide, I will definitely find out the truth.”With that, he ordered the bailiffs to put the corpse down and prepare to bring it back.
At this moment, a voice was heard,"Wait, my lord. I know who the murderer is."”
Zhou Yi immediately turned around and looked at the source of the voice.
