Chapter 101: Dark officialdom, raising bandits to ensure one's own importance!

"Li Ru is here."

Dong Zhuo had just wanted to continue questioning about Duan Yu when he saw Li Ru walking into the main hall with hurried steps.

"Lord."

Li Ru, in his black official robes, bowed after entering the hall, then turned to Dong Yi with a slight smile: "Miss Yi."

Dong Yi nodded slightly.

"Li Ru, what is it?" Dong Zhuo asked.

Li Ru turned back to Dong Zhuo with a smile: "Lord, it's about Duan Yu."

"Oh?"

Dong Zhuo raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but look at Dong Yi, who was sitting to the side.

Dong Yi's beautiful eyes blinked slightly.

"Haha," Dong Zhuo laughed heartily: "Look at that, we were just talking about this kid."

"I didn't expect Li Ru to bring news about him as well."

"My Yi'er is now interested in news about this kid."

"Father~"

As soon as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, Dong Yi looked at him coquettishly: "What kind of father talks about his daughter like that..."

"Haha," Dong Zhuo laughed: "What's there to fear? My Dong Zhuo's daughter doesn't need to act so shy; if you like him, you like him."

"Li Ru, tell me, what news is there about this kid now?"

Li Ru also smiled at Dong Yi, then straightened his expression: "Lord, I just went to the county government."

"I heard from the officials in the county that they are planning to suppress bandits and have ordered Duan Yu to come to Jinyang to help."

Hmm?

As soon as Li Ru finished speaking, Dong Zhuo immediately frowned.

"The county government suppressing bandits—why would they need to summon a village Patrol Officer?" Dong Zhuo asked with some surprise.

Li Ru also nodded in agreement.

"I felt the same way."

"If the county government is suppressing bandits, they have their own troops in Jinyang; even if they lack soldiers, they should request troops from you, Lord. Why summon a village Patrol Officer?"

"Even if Duan Yu has some reputation, I'm afraid this matter shouldn't fall to a village Patrol Officer."

"So I found it strange and made some inquiries."

"Lord, guess what?"

Li Ru left a cliffhanger.

To the side, Dong Yi's beautiful eyes were fixed on Li Ru, her expression attentive.
