Receiving Lu Bu's signal, several people with ordinary clothes but strong aura appeared outside Jubao Pavilion.

The gate of Jubao Pavilion was also closed.

Xu Ju was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why such a thing happened.

"Xiu'er, you go upstairs for now." Lu Bu said softly.

Xiu'er nodded obediently. Lu Bu is Xuzhou Mu, the owner of this city. She doesn't think that Xu Ju and others have the strength to threaten Lu Bu.

"Brother be careful."

"It's just some young people. Since we let brother meet today, there is no way to let it go." Lu Bu said.

Zhang Gan also sensed that something was wrong, because there appeared several tough-looking people in the Jubao Pavilion. These people looked at Xu Ju with hatred, but more of it was pity.

"Do you know who this young master is, so hurry up and open the door." Xu Ju shouted, the current situation made him feel a slight danger.

"Is your father Xu She the supervisor?" Lu Bu said slowly.

A trace of panic flashed across Xu Ju's expression, "Who the hell are you?"

"The Marquis has already said before that if you dare to be so arrogant in front of the Marquis, you will need your tongue, but now it is still useful for the Marquis to keep your tongue. If you have your legs, you don't need to keep them." Lu Bu said lightly.

As soon as the words fell, two figures flashed past, and the sound of bones breaking was so clear in the slightly silent Jubao Pavilion.

Xu Ju let out a miserable cry, and the two guards who followed Xu Ju realized that they were about to step forward when two long swords were placed on their necks. With the slightest change, they have no doubt that provoking these unknown people at such a time would be life-threatening.

Seeing this scene, the servant who had been following Xu Ju turned pale and said in panic, "You dare to injure the young master Duyou, you deserve death, you deserve death, this is Pengcheng, if you commit murder in Pengcheng, you go away!" Can't take it off."

"This kind of villain, there is no need to keep his life." Lu Bu said indifferently, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Raising the sword in his hand and dropping it, the servant looked at the long sword piercing through his chest, his eyes wide open, his expression was full of unwillingness, and he fell in a pool of blood and kept struggling.

The situation changed so quickly that Zhang Gan didn't react, and the guards following Zhang Gan were also stunned on the spot.

Except for the soldiers in the army, the rest of the people in the city do not hide weapons privately. Once they are found out by the State Shepherd's Mansion, they will be punished. It is very common for many families to secretly train dead soldiers for use by the family. , but in Pengcheng, if you dare to wield a sword, you will definitely not end well.

But from Lu Bu's body, Zhang Qian felt that he was sure of victory, or that Lu Bu didn't put Xu Ju in his eyes at all, and the strengths of the two sides were not at the same level at all.

Suddenly, Zhang Qian remembered that Lu Bu had claimed to be the Marquis just now, and had some guesses about Lu Bu's identity.

In Pengcheng, besides Xuzhou Mu, who else dared to call himself the Marquis?

After thinking about this level, Zhang Qian felt a little flustered. Judging from the situation just now, that beautiful woman has a relationship with Lu Bu. If he took the initiative to strike up a conversation, it might cause trouble.

Immediately after thinking about the troubles Xu Ju encountered, Zhang Gan felt a lot more relaxed. The members of the Xu family kept their eyes on the Zhang family. This time the members of the Xu family were unlucky, perhaps it was the turning point for the Zhang family.

It is common for families to fight openly and secretly. It is not uncommon for families to fight for their own interests. On the bright side, a kind and friendly family will do everything in secret.

The bloody scene seemed to make Xu Ju forget the pain from his legs. Seeing Lu Bu walking slowly, his expression was full of horror. Although Lu Bu didn't make a move just now, Lu Bu's words made him go. servant died.

"Who are you?" Xu Ju asked in horror.

He who is showing off his power in the city, has never encountered such a situation.

Zhang Gan stepped forward and saluted solemnly: "I'm next Zhang Gan, I have met Marquis Wen."

"There are smart people too," Lu Bu said.

Xu Ju was horrified, thinking of the description about Lu Bu's appearance, he already believed it to [-]%.

"Marquis Wen, I have no eyes, and offended Marquis Wen, please forgive me." Xu Ju begged for mercy.

Showing toughness in front of Lu Bu is no different from courting death. I didn't see his servant fall into a pool of blood just because he said one more sentence.

Lu Bu cast his eyes on Shi Adao: "Bring this person back, so that he can be interrogated, and don't miss one thing."

"Here." Shi A clasped his fists and said.

"Marquis Wen, spare your life, Marquis Wen, spare your life." Xu Ju begged pitifully.

If he offended Lu Bu, even if his father, Xu She, went to intercede in person, it would be difficult to get Lu Bu's forgiveness.

Xu Ju's heart was ashamed, he knew that this time he kicked on the iron board, who would have thought that the majestic Xuzhou army would come to Jubao Pavilion wearing the clothes of ordinary people.

Lu Bu has a transcendent status in Xuzhou, and it is simply impossible for ordinary people to see Lu Bu.

"I offended you earlier, please punish me with Marquis Wen." Zhang Gan cupped his hands, sweating profusely on his back, if Lu Bu pursued this matter, the Zhang family would also be affected.

In the current Xuzhou, the major families have considerable influence, because they have provided Xuzhou with a large number of talents, but Lu Bu's anger is something that the major families will not touch.

If the Xuzhou officials work together to fight against Lu Bu, they may have the strength to drive Lu Bu from Xuzhou. If this happens, they will completely break with Lu Bu, and their family will face revenge from the Xuzhou army.

The victories brought Lu Bu's prestige in Xuzhou to an unmatched level.

"Your performance is justified. Later, I will follow Benhou back to the state pastoral mansion and tell you about the Zhang family and Xu family." Lu Bu said.

"Here." Zhang Qian's expression flashed with excitement.

If the Xu family is unlucky, the Zhang family will come out of this crisis.

The people led by Shi A acted very quickly after killing the servant. After a while, the inside of Jubao Pavilion was cleaned up, but there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

The gate of Jubao Pavilion was closed, and the passers-by outside didn't know what happened, but Xu Ju was taken away with a miserable expression, which attracted the attention of many people. Xu Ju was a big disaster in the outer city, greedy and lustful, as long as he What he likes, he will use all means in terms of means. How many people gnash their teeth when talking about Xu Ju. If there is no Xu family behind Xu Ju, they might have been unlucky.

On the second floor of Jubao Pavilion, Li Qing said with a smile: "Miss Xiu'er is really lucky, Marquis Wen is obviously angry."

Chapter 203 The Zhang family is unforgettable

Xiu'er didn't speak, but she was a little panicked in her heart. It was the first time she encountered such a thing, and she was afraid that it would make Lu Bu feel dissatisfied.

As if seeing Xiu'er's worry, Li Qing comforted her: "Marquis Wen loves you so much, I definitely won't blame you, it's just that the Xu family in Pengcheng is going to be in trouble."

Mentioning this matter, Li Qing's heart felt a little relieved. Xu Ju didn't think much about her before. If she didn't have certain means in the city, she might have been poisoned by Xu Ju. Man, Li Qing wished that Lu Bu would kill him directly.

On the way back to the State Shepherd's Mansion, the atmosphere was a bit heavy. Lu Bu exposed his identity in Jubao Pavilion, which also led to more protectors secretly following him, who were cautiously vigilant, lest there be any situation that would be unfavorable to Lu Bu.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Pengcheng is stable, but there are many dangers hidden in the dark, such as the Black Clothes Pavilion who was assassinated in the city before.

After the group returned to the State Shepherd's Mansion, Xiu'er stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Brother, it's all because of Xiu'er's fault, which caused you trouble."

Lu Bu laughed and said, "It's just some trivial matters. I wanted to take Xiu'er for a stroll, but now something has delayed me."

"Brother, Xiu'er will leave first." Xiu'er said.

After Xiu'er left, Lu Bu's face immediately returned to his usual seriousness, "Let Zhang Qian in, and order Wei Xu to secretly see the people of the Xu family. If there is any abnormality, directly control it."

Zhang Gan waited anxiously. He, who usually thinks that he has an extraordinary heart, can't calm down on this matter.

After getting Lv Bu's order, Zhang Gan walked into the room quickly, cupped his hands and said, "Meet Marquis Wen."

"Tell me about the Zhang family." Lu Bu said lightly.

Zhang Qian did not doubt that he was there, and described the current situation of the Zhang family in detail.

Zhang Gan's father, Zhang Tao, was a meritorious Cao in Xuzhou, and he also had a certain status in the city.

When Lu Bu led the army to fight in Yanzhou, the defense in the city was extremely strict. People who had secret contacts with Yuan Shu were strictly investigated. The governor Xu She made a lot of efforts, and even got Jia Xu's affirmation. After gaining power in his hands , the members of the Xu family set their sights on the Zhang family.

There is a grievance between the Zhang family and the Xu family, and Xu Ju is notorious in the city.

Some grievances between the two families were brought to light by Xu She, and he insisted on holding on to the Zhang family, claiming that the Zhang family and Yuan Shu had secretly colluded.

Only then did Zhang Gan act to curry favor with Xu Ju, but Xu Ju's rampant behavior obviously didn't put the Zhang family in his eyes, and offended Lu Bu.

Lu Bu has heard about the recent events in the city. If the strength of the major families in Xuzhou is too large, it will definitely affect the rule of the state pastoral mansion to a large extent. Borrow the strength of the Xuzhou family to deal with other For the family, it is beneficial for the State Shepherd Mansion to balance the interests of the major families to fight.

Jia Xu discussed this matter with Lv Bu and got Lv Bu's approval.

However, what he didn't expect was that there would be such a dirty trick in the fight between the families.

When the Xuzhou army was fighting against Yanzhou, Jia Xu took advantage of the opportunity to eradicate some families in the city. These families did have an inexplicable relationship with Yuan Shu. The excuses were reasonable, and naturally they would not cause resistance from the Xuzhou family. On the contrary, it would make the major families in Xuzhou more safe.

"The Marquis knows about this matter. If the Zhang family had not colluded with Yuan Shu, the State Shepherd's Mansion would not be wronged." Lu Bu said.

Zhang Qian saluted excitedly: "Thank you, Marquis Wen, the Zhang family will never forget it."

"What position do you hold in the city now?" Lu Bu asked.

"Reporting to Marquis Wen, I am still white and have never been an official." Zhang Gan said.

"Would you like to come to the State Shepherd's Mansion?" Lu Bu asked.

Zhang Gan was excited. Lu Bu invited him to invite him, which means that he can become a member of the officialdom. This is also good news for the Zhang family. Due to the troubles and overwhelm of self-care, one must be cautious in one's actions. After Lu Bu was appointed as an official of the State Shepherd's Mansion, the Zhang family would be able to get out of this crisis.

"Thanks to Marquis Wen's trust, I will work hard." Zhang Gan said.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "After you understand the Zhang family's affairs, you can go to the state pastoral mansion to look for Jia Xu."

"Here." Zhang Gan cupped his hands.

"You must know something about the Xu family's affairs." Lu Bu asked with a smile.

Zhang Gan immediately understood what Lu Bu meant. This was to use the hands of the Zhang family to eradicate the Xu family. However, the people of the Xu family had persecuted him so tightly before. Zhang Gan did not have the slightest psychological burden. Zhang Qian understood some dirty things between the families. Of course there are many.

And this is also an opportunity for the Zhang family. If the performance satisfies Lu Bu, the Zhang family can use this to improve their strength.

Zhang Gan pondered for a while, and then recounted some things the Xu family had done over the years.

"This is what I know, and there are many things that I have never touched before." Zhang Qiandao.

After Zhang Qian left, Lu Bu's face was a little gloomy. The head of the Zhang family was just a governor of Xuzhou, and he dared to act so rampantly. From the perspective of the big family, it is very common to do such a thing, but it touched Lu Bu a lot.

Even if it is not in the troubled times, the life of the people is also difficult. The oppression of the big families is a mountain on them. It is not easy to get rid of the pressure brought by this mountain.

The Xuzhou family cannot be ignored. Even if Lu Bu is extremely dissatisfied with the family's behavior, he must temporarily suppress his anger at this time. If he makes a big move against the family, it will affect the stability of Xuzhou. The talents of the family will govern Xuzhou and completely separate the power of the family from Xuzhou. Only in this way can the influence of the family be completely eliminated.

It's not that Lu Bu is unwilling to use tyrannical means to facilitate this matter, but that he has the difficulty of having to make such a choice.

The person in charge of Xuzhou is a general, and the Xuzhou family can accept it, because no matter who the monarch is, they still need to rely on the power of the family to govern Xuzhou. The impact on the major families is not too great. The key is which family can take the opportunity to develop Just get up.

"Bring Xu She to see Ben Hou." Lu Bu ordered after a long thought.

The sudden change in the Xu family has attracted a lot of attention. Xu She is the postal supervisor and is responsible for supervising the affairs of officials. Many families have been injured because of Xu She, and the Xu family has taken advantage of the opportunity to grow. There is no way , who made Xu She able to speak in the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Chapter 204

Especially when Xuzhou's army was in battle, Xu She did a lot of action, handing in some evidence of the family's connection with Yuan Shu, and the family's downfall would follow.

People who looked down on Xu She in the past had no choice but to curry favor with Xu She, hoping to get out of the turmoil in Xuzhou.

Of course, Xu She was more cautious when he made a move. He would not touch the big family at all. If he did so, it would not benefit the Xu family at all, but would bring disaster to the Xu family.

Because of this incident, although the Xu family offended some officials, it allowed the family's strength to grow rapidly.

But now the Xu family was surrounded by soldiers in the city, making the Xu family panic. They didn't understand why there was such a scene.

Xu She also had a lot of doubts in his heart. He had made a lot of contributions to the State Shepherd's Mansion, but the family he eradicated with the evidence gave the State Shepherd Mansion a large amount of supplies and land.

When he entered the State Shepherd's Mansion and saw Lu Bu, Xu She was slightly taken aback, and hurried forward to salute.

The silence made Xu She's heart beat a little. He didn't understand why Lu Bu would summon him. The soldiers in the city surrounded the Xu family, which made him a little uneasy.

"Tell this Marquis what the Xu family has done these years." Lu Bu said slowly.

Sweat broke out on Xu She's forehead. If the Xu family's behavior over the past few years was put on any monarch, the Xu family would not be spared. He knew that someone secretly attacked the Xu family.

Seeing that Xu She did not speak, Lu Bu roughly explained what the Xu family had done in recent years.

"Forgive me, Marquis Wen. There may be something wrong with the Xu family before, but since Marquis Wen took charge of Xuzhou, members of the Xu family have always obeyed Marquis Wen's orders and dare not disobey." Xu She hurriedly saluted and said, "I hope Marquis Wen will see you in the future." In terms of the Xu family's credit, the Xu family can be spared."

It's nothing if the official position is lost. As long as the family is still there, there will be opportunities in the future. If the family is destroyed, all hope will be lost. Don't look at the marriage or other relationships between the families. When it is in the hands of the monarch, other families will immediately draw a clear line, and maybe they will take action secretly to embezzle the property that originally belonged to this family.

Fights between families are equally brutal.

"Perhaps the governor is not aware of what happened in the outer city, but this Marquis has personally experienced the majesty of your son." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

Xu She's hands trembled slightly, and he immediately understood why the current incident in the Xu family happened because someone from the Xu family provoked Lu Bu, which made Xu She very angry.

The members of the Xu family usually act in a high-profile way. As long as they don't provoke anyone they shouldn't, they won't bring disaster to the Xu family. Besides, although Xu Chang's affairs are a bit dandy, he still has good eyesight.

"I have nothing to say about my humble position." Xu She lowered his head.

"After you go back, explain the matter of the Xu family well. As long as the members of the Xu family are not involved, the Marquis will not blame you." Lu Bu said.

"Thank you, Marquis Wen." After Xu She solemnly saluted, he left the State Shepherd's Mansion. He looked much older, and his spine, which was originally straight, also collapsed.
