Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao, please answer the question!

Seeing the faint smile on the housekeeper's face, Zhou Kun was furious, and said, "You eat and drink at my house, and you actually framed me!"

The butler's acting skills improved, his eyes turned red and he said, "How dare you swear to God that you didn't harm my daughter?"

"Hehe, that daughter of yours has slept with someone else a long time ago. What kind of chaste and strong woman is she playing? If she dies, she dies!" Zhou Kun said disapprovingly.

"You bastard!"

The butler rushed forward and wrestled with that Zhou Kun.

Xie Yan hurriedly ordered them to be separated, and asked angrily, "Zhou Kun, so you admit your evil deeds?"

Zhou Kun took it for granted: "That woman is my slave, I can deal with it as I like, I don't know what evil deeds the county magistrate is talking about?"

Xie Yan didn't say anything, because it was true.

The life and death of slaves are basically in the hands of their masters.

In this day and age, is the death of a servant considered a problem?

But of course it's more than that, the housekeeper's troubles are just to arouse the anger of the crowd.

He cried: "Look, is this still human? I have served their family for more than forty years, and this is what I got in exchange?"

The people outside had already started pointing and pointing at Zhou Kun. At this time, the butler's goal had also been achieved. Seeing the figures of Zhou's elders in the crowd, he knew that he could officially start.

Turning his head, he angrily said to Xie Yan: "Master County Magistrate, the Zhou family's evil deeds are not limited to this, I have evidence of their collaboration with the enemy!"

Collaborating with the enemy is a serious crime!

Xie Yan said solemnly: "Is what you said true?"

"Of course it is true!"

"The Zhou family has long looked down on Prefect Sun. The reason why they are domineering and unscrupulous is because they rely on Cao Cao's power."

This time, Cao Cao and the Zhou family were directly put together and became villains.

"They felt that Taishou Sun had no chance of winning, so they planned to join Cao Cao. They not only gave Cao Cao tens of thousands of silks and satins, but also sent news of Jiangdong to Cao Cao."

"This time Jingzhou was defeated, and tens of thousands of people were killed or injured. They have contributed a lot!"

Xie Yan just wanted to say good guy.

Prefect Sun intends to blame the Zhou family for the failure of this war.

This action not only made the family obedient, but also belittled Cao Cao, and dubbed the hat of defeat in the war, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

As expected of Sun Taishou!

High, it is high!

Jiangdong's soldiers are of course Jiangdong people, and some of these people have families, which directly angered the people outside.

"The spy will die!"

"Sure enough, the Zhou family doesn't have a single good thing!"

"Collude with foreign enemies to kill my Jiangdong man, we must be severely punished."

"Yes, hang the sky lantern, you can't cheap him!"

Zhou Kun's face turned pale.

Hanging a sky lantern is burning to death, so I don't know how long it will take to burn this fat body!

Xie Yan said to the butler: "Empty talk is nothing, do you have evidence?"

"Of course there is. The Zhou family's in-and-out account, one copy was given to the Zhou family, but they didn't expect that I have another copy."

"The records on it are more than that. It says how the Zhou family ruined other people's families." The housekeeper's face was full of ferocity.

He continued: "Let's talk about the original Zhang family, as long as the older generation should be known, how good the Zhang family was to us Wucheng people back then?"

"During the time of war and chaos, we opened warehouses to release food without charging a penny, and saved countless lives."

"But their family was ruined by the Zhou family. Mr. Zhang died of anger, the eldest son of the Zhang family hanged himself, and the second son threw himself into a well."

"I'm afraid many people don't know that the youngest son of the Zhang family is still alive and is a tenant of the Zhou family. The women of the Zhang family were either harmed by the Zhou family or sold!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was impossible not to affect Yangzhou.

At that time, the people were in dire straits, and they ate bark, grass, soil and even human flesh when they were hungry.

At that time, Mr. Zhang distributed his money to buy grain, opened a warehouse to release grain and rescued everyone.

How could this kindness be forgotten?

But the decline of the Zhang family was so sudden that many people didn't know the details.

I never thought that it was the Zhou family who did it!

The elder of the Zhou family realized that something was wrong, and he had no intention of standing up to save Zhou Kun, so he hurried into the carriage.

But others recognized it, "That's the Zhou family!"

Immediately, people surrounded him, the people of Jiangdong are tough, how can the carriage be allowed to go?

Not long after that, the elders of Zhou's parents were arrested, each punching and spitting.

The screams were loud at first, but they subsided after a while. When everyone dispersed, the seniors of Zhou's family were already dead!

The housekeeper had already submitted the account book, Xie Yan checked it and ordered everyone in the Zhou family to be arrested and brought to justice.

The back and forth actions were very fast, and anyone with a heart could easily discover that this was a well-prepared conspiracy.

But so what?

The Zhou family was indeed angry and complained, but they didn't speak for them.

Not even those clans.

Why did Sun Quan want to make the masses angry?It is to let the family members be wary. If they speak for the Zhou family, they will undoubtedly offend all the people in Wucheng County.

No one can hold back the anger of the crowd.

And this also allowed the clans to see Sun Quan's methods, and some clans who were guilty of catching thieves began to waver.

……

Chapter 131

Wucheng is next to Zhenze (Taihu Lake).

The water area of ​​this lake is more than 400 square kilometers, the lake shoreline is 50 kilometers long, and there are more than [-] islands.

Among the five largest freshwater lakes in the world, it ranks third.

In later generations, the area of ​​the lake became smaller due to planting and breeding around the lake.

But now Zhenze is still green mountains and green waters.

Because of the sea, the sky is also blue, very beautiful.

And Sun Quan was sitting on a large boat on Zhenze Lake, sipping wine very leisurely.

"I'm afraid those aristocratic families have become ants on the hot pot now!" Lu Su laughed.

Sun Quan took a bite of the rice cake, it was soft and sticky to his teeth, and a hint of sweetness spread in his mouth.

He didn't laugh, because this was just the beginning.

"It's just to walk those aristocratic families, so that they will be more honest."

"I don't expect them to be so obedient all the time. I just hope that they won't become my resistance in Hefei. Otherwise, I won't be killing chickens to scare monkeys, but I will start killing them!"

Sun Quan's goal has always been very clear, which is to keep the aristocratic clan from interfering in the war.

At this moment, he had already hung the butcher's knife in the air, and he himself didn't want the butcher's knife to be chopped down again.

Because only the butcher's knife hanging in the air is the scariest.

"As long as Gongjin can move!" Sun Quan really wanted to see the faces of those aristocratic families.

But he knew he couldn't.

As long as he is on this boat for a day, the clan will be in panic.

"Sit here, that's the only thing I can do now!"

"Don't worry, the aristocratic family and our interests are bound together, they are very clear." Lu Su was too optimistic.

This matter was just a pre-dinner dessert, Sun Quan wanted to say so.

Only by letting the aristocratic clan no longer control a large number of guards and let them obediently engage in politics and business, then everything will be resolved.

"That's not necessarily the case. The reason why they didn't make a choice is because I have the only choice."

"If the traitor Cao Cao promised not to move them, they would even persuade them immediately, and then stand against us without hesitation."

Of course, not all.

Some aristocratic families have long been tied to chariots by Sun Quan, and they cannot get off.

This is Sun Quan's capital, not only externally, but also internally.

During Sun Quan's time on the lake, these aristocratic clans played a role.

Among them, the most active one is of course the Lu family, one of the four great families.

Many members of the Lu family served in the army, and they were staunch supporters of Sun Quan.

It is an extremely stupid thing to go against Sun Quan, but when the Lu family joins in to persuade, the effect is outstanding.

"Okay, I was yelling like a bird all day, asking me to finish the battle first."

"Sun Quan obviously didn't really mean to mess with us, and he didn't have the skills. He was telling us clearly on the lake now that he didn't want to use us."

The speaker looked very similar to Lu Xun, and he was Lu Xun's father, Lu Jun, the captain of Jiujiang.

His words showed that he was on the side of Sun Quan.

Someone laughed at the Lu family and said, "You take the matter too simply, how could Sun Quan have the intention to expose it?"

"He's just saying that he's sitting on the Diaoyutai on the lake, but it's not necessarily the case when he comes down."

There will definitely be a conflict between the family and Sun Quan, and everyone is not a fool.

Of course, it is not that question that is being debated now.

It's about whether Zhou Yu should send troops now.

If Hefei is occupied, there is no doubt that it will be good for everyone.

But the big head will always belong to Sun Quan. What they are afraid of is that Sun Quan will repel Cao Cao, and then deal with them in turn.

If Sun Quan was here, I'm afraid he would laugh. Even if Cao Cao was defeated, would Cao Cao give up Yangzhou?

The family must be weakened, it will not kill them, but no one is willing to give up their rights and interests.

"No matter what, if this goes on like this, when Cao Cao attacks Wu County, think about it, everyone here may have to kill them all." Lu Jun said.

"How is it possible? If Cao Cao wants to control Jiangdong, we must help him!"

Lu Jun chuckled, "You think too much of yourself, and you underestimate Cao Cao."

"If we lose, the world will belong to Cao Cao sooner or later. Even if he doesn't liquidate it immediately, he will gradually weaken us in the future."

"Cao Cao is not a friendly person, not to encourage his prestige, if we are in front of Cao Cao, we have no right to refuse at all."

"And at least Sun Taishou still has it!"

Naturally, Lu Jun didn't say these words, he just conveyed them on his behalf.

"Can your words represent Sun Quan?" someone asked.

Lu Jun looked at it, and he shook his head: "I said this for everyone's sake!"

Believe in you.

Many people present rolled their eyes.

But now everyone knows Sun Quan's attitude. If Sun Quan wants to use the knife, it is impossible to beat the stick to cause public anger.

So the "still" in Lu Jun's mouth is the leeway Sun Quan left for them.
