Many bad things were done by Sun Quan;

But this was what he had to do in a situation like Soochow where the big clans were intertwined and powerful;

But the specific implementer was not Sun Quan, but the Zhu family, and even several "middle-class" families that were vassalized by the Zhu family...

The four surnames of Wu are Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang. Ever since Zhu Ran became Sun Quan's companion, the Zhu family has closely linked the lives of the entire family to Sun Quan, and they are Sun Quan's most reliable minions!

But undoubtedly, this also caused... Now, from Zhu Ji's mouth, the truth of everything is clear.

"Ah...ah..."

At this moment, because of Zhu Ji's confession, the patriarchs of the five lower-level families in Jiangdong, "Du", "Lin", "Yan", "Xu", and "Wang" were arrested... and then beaten with sticks and bruises all over their bodies. .

Finally, they confessed that they were the ones who poisoned Taishi Ci in Yangzhou, Zhou Gongjin who poisoned Baqiu, and Huang Gai who poisoned Wujun on the orders of Sun Quan...

In fact, Huang Gai didn't have to die, precisely because he found out some truth about "Zhou Yu's death", and went to Wu County to investigate and interview these families...

Therefore, these families reported to Sun Quan and received Sun Quan's instructions to poison them together with the hero who had made great achievements in the "bitter meat scheme" during the Battle of Chibi.

The entire trial here is conclusive, with both people and people getting stolen goods...

It was as if the truth about the deaths of Zhou Yu, Tai Shici, and Huang Gai was vividly revealed... It made some people heartbroken, but it also made people such as Gu Yong, the patriarch of the Gu family, Zhang Wen, the patriarch of the Zhang family, Yu Fan, the patriarch of the Yu family, and Yu Fan, the patriarch of the Wei family. Wei Lang, Kong Yu, the patriarch of the Kong family, and Xie Yiwu, the patriarch of the Xie family, lowered their heads, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

Although they didn't take action directly... Sun Quan did it because of them!

This is enough to make them extremely frightened and worried...

I'm afraid that this matter will eventually involve them.

Fortunately, they were just conspiring with Sun Quan and were not stained with such blood.

They are all "old fools". How come they don't know the truth of protecting one's own safety and taking advantage of others? Don’t know? They won't do this kind of thing that has hidden dangers and endless troubles.

However, it seems... In this government office, Sun Shao's trial did not deliberately lead the crime to them.

finally…

Under the stick and wailing, Zhu Ji became increasingly exhausted mentally and physically. He held up the document and said in a daze, "They all did it... they did it..."

Sun Shao took the document, raised his head and looked at Zhou Xun in the distance, then rolled up the document and said slowly: "Crueling Zhongliang and murdering my brother should be punished... So? Sun Quan's minions involved in this matter, There are several other tribes.”

"There are five races in total..."

Zhu Ji spoke tremblingly. He looked around apologetically for the last time. He saw "Du", "Lin", "Yan", "Xu" and "Wang" who had almost lost half their lives under the punishment of sticks. "The patriarch of the five families!

How close were they?

...but now...but...

Sun Shao, on the other hand, looked at Zhu Ji with great interest. He muttered at first, as if he had calculated carefully, and finally said in a cold tone: "Five tribes? No...it seems that there is one missing tribe!"

Zhu Ji thought hard and said with a cry: "Is it gone? Only these five tribes participated in those...those evil things..."

Sun Shao looked at Zhu Ji with a smile, "Think about it again..."

Zhu Ji looked at Sun Shao's smile in shock, and then suddenly turned back to look at Zhou Xun: "Could it be...does my Zhu family count? But...but Governor Zhou Xun promised me...that as long as I recruit him, then ...Then..."

"presumptuous…"

Before Zhu Ji could finish speaking, Zhou Xun shouted loudly: "Have I ever promised anything to you? How could I promise anything to a clan like yours that has no conscience and killed your father?"

Zhou Xun's words blurted out, and Sun Shao added softly: "So, Sun Quan's minions, Du, Lin, Yan, Xu, Wang... and the Zhu family, the six clans, the six clans are facing each other!"

Zhu Ji was shocked and screamed: "Zhou Xun, it turns out you are such a vicious person! You used me to confess those evil things in the past, you used me to harm these rich people, and also harmed General Sun! You...you..."

Before Zhu Ji could finish speaking, Zhou Xun had already stepped forward and pinched his face to stop him from talking.

"Yes, I am a vicious person? But in the past, when your Zhu family poisoned my father's food on the orders of that thief Sun Quan, how could you not be vicious? The people behind your scenes, and these minions ? Have you ever thought about the great achievements my father made in Chibi? Have you ever thought about who saved Jiangdong? Have you ever thought that he is the hero of Jiangdong? "

"But you...but you promised me..." Zhu Ji was still muttering in pain.

Zhou Xun took another step closer to him, put one hand on his shoulder, and said in a small voice: "Say less words. If so, I will at least keep your wife and children, which can be considered a favor from me." . Haha... The guilty clan was punished, shouldn't... justice be like this?"

After saying that, Zhou Xun let go...

Zhu Ji was trembling all over. His whole body was like a limp ball, and he sat slumped on the ground.

He looked at Zhou Xun with blurred eyes, as if asking again——

"Zhou Xun...you...do you have to kill me?" 』

In fact, Zhu Ji was wrong...

Zhou Xun not only wanted to kill him, he also wanted to kill the culprit, Sun Quan, that thief!

At this time, a Yamen servant had already walked in. Sun Shao waved his hand, and the Yamen servant had dragged away the limp Zhu Ji and also carried away the patriarchs of the five major clans...

Some of the civil and military officials around them, such as Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Lu Xun, Sun Jiao, and Su Fei, watched as they felt relieved.

But Lu Su couldn't help but shake his head...

Sun Shao asked Zhou Xun in his ear: "Do you want to directly order the killing?"

What Sun Shao meant was to question and kill him in public...

Zhou Xun sneered: "Let them die in prison! The culprit...is not them!"

"What about now?" Sun Shao asked...

But Zhou Xun loudly said to everyone in the government office: "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, Sun Quan's crime is unforgivable!"

He held back this sound for a long time.

However, it was Sun Shao who endured longer...

He stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please follow me to capture Sun Quan——"

Sun Quan walked sadly in the garden on crutches. His legs were injured by arrows, but fortunately they were not critical.

As the former owner of this place, since he was imprisoned in this palace, he has been like a canary in a cage. He has ordinary food and a place to shelter from the wind and rain, but he has lost his freedom forever.

"well…"

Sun Quan raised his head and looked at the towering palace gate. He was so eager to get out.

Perhaps, only when a person completely loses his freedom can others feel how valuable freedom is?

It's money, beauty, everything is incomparable to beauty.

"Tap...tap..."

As if yearning for it, Sun Quan couldn't help but walk towards the palace gate.

It's just that... the soldiers guarding here seemed to be extremely cautious. When they saw Sun Quan approaching, one of them quickly bent his bow and shot an arrow at Sun Quan's feet.

The arrow penetrated the ground at Sun Quan's feet, and the feathers of the arrow trembled. Sun Quan exclaimed, "You..."

But what responded to him was the guard's indifferent expression. He subconsciously backed away and sat down on the ground.

Seemingly withdrawing from the "alert" position, the guards put away their bows and arrows, and the leader loudly said to Sun Quan: "Fourth Young Master has an order, and you are not allowed to step out of this palace! Please don't do it." Are you making it difficult for me to wait? Otherwise, the next arrow will not hit your feet!"

Such indifferent words made Sun Quan's heart thump. He sighed "Alas" and then ran away in shame and panic.

Sun Quan was not allowed to leave the palace.

But others, such as Sun Quan's family, were allowed to visit him. When Sun Quan returned to the house, he saw Bu Lianshi.

She was wearing a Jingchai plain dress. She had never dressed so simply since she was taken into Sun Quan's concubine.

For example, in the current situation, even the Sun family members and tribesmen... have deliberately restrained themselves a lot. They don't dare to wear gold and silver, let alone go out in public.

But when Trainer Bu saw Sun Quan, she quickly brought a bowl of soup cakes and a plate of dried meat. She smiled and said, "Husband, it's time to eat..."

It can be said that Sun Quan has eaten too many gluttonous feasts and tasted too many delicious dishes, but it seems that in this situation... Bu Lianshi's words "Husband, it's time to eat", and the far away in her hand It's not a precious dish, but more like a warmth and warmth that he has never experienced before...

Sun Quan looked at the soup cakes on the plate, raised his hand to caress Master Bu's face lovingly, and said apologetically: "It's only been a few days, why have you lost so much weight? Has Shiro Guan treated you badly? And This soup cake...now I can only let you eat these...these..."

Sun Quan's words were full of self-blame.

Bu Lianshi smiled and said, "I love eating soup cakes the most. I met my husband when I fled Jiangdong with my mother. At that time... it was my husband who gave me soup cakes... He also asked me about my family background and learned that I was Kong. I am the descendant of Bu Shucheng, one of the seventy-two sages, so he treated my mother and I with great courtesy..."

Hearing this, Sun Quan shook his head, "At that time... how could I be polite? I saw you giving birth to a beautiful woman who was in love with your country and your country... That's why I said that. Sure enough... I got my wish in the end and took you as my concubine... But I never thought that I, Sun Quan, had so many concubines, but when the disaster came, only you were left... still by my side."

As he spoke, Sun Quan hugged Bu Lianshi, and Bu Lianshi also nestled in Sun Quan's arms like a little bird. He said with a smile, "Let me just say, is my husband still a descendant of Sun Wu? How could he treat me?" The descendants of Confucius are so respectful, it turns out...this is..."

Speaking of this, Master Bu once again picked up the soup cakes and butcher shop, "Today, Mr. Yunqi specially sent a lot of dried meat to my mother, and made a big tonic soup. The soup was so fragrant that my mother couldn't eat so much... I will send some to your husband as well."

Sun Quan hurriedly asked: "Is the prince okay? How is the big tiger and the little tiger? Where is Shang Xiang? What about her? She didn't do anything stupid, right?"

"Everything is fine...everything is fine..."

Bu Lianshi did not tell how they had used all their connections and tried every means to save Sun Quan during these days, nor did they tell how dangerous Sun Quan's situation was based on the "rumors" that were well-documented...

Trainer Bu didn't want Sun Quan to worry. She pursed her lips and murmured, "It's just...it's just that everyone is thinking of you...missing you..."

"It's all good...that's good." Sun Quan said as he picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup.

Trainer Bu suppressed the pain and worries in his heart, pretended to be innocent, and asked: "Husband, does it taste good?"

"It tastes good, it tastes good... You can also bring in soup cakes and dried meat. It seems that... even though I am defeated, Shiro Seki is still very kind to me, the 'Commander of the Defeated Army'!"

Master Bu held Sun Quan's hand and said sincerely, "If your husband likes to eat, I will bring it to you every day..."

Having said that.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and both Sun Quan and Trainer Bu changed their expressions.

Sun Shao, Zhou Xun, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, and Lu Xun had already broken in with their armored soldiers.

Sun Quan was so frightened that he dropped the bowl in his hand, and the soup cakes and dried meat were scattered all over the place...

But after all, he was the leader of the Soochow Kingdom. He quickly calmed down his nervousness, looked directly at everyone, and asked: "What do you mean by coming here?"

Sun Shao laughed fiercely, "What do you mean? Take it away!"

Sun Quan shouted in panic, "In the past, when Kuaiji dedicated the city, the Fourth Young Master of Guan promised me, and perhaps the civil servants and generals who surrendered, that he... he would spare Guogu, how could you... how could you go against his words?"

Regardless of what Sun Quan said, Soldier Jia stepped forward and locked Sun Quan firmly...

In a hurry, Bu Lianshi went to grab Jia Bing's hand and shouted loudly: "Yes, Young Master Yun Qi said such a thing, Young Master Yun Qi will bypass my husband, but you are like this now... This is trapping your Young Master. Unrighteous!"

Sun Shao grabbed Trainer Bu's hand and shook her hard, throwing her to the ground. "We are the unjust ones? What do we have to do with Mr. Yun Qi?"

"Why are you still standing there? Take away...take away Sun Quan, along with all the books, bamboo slips, and letters in his family."

While talking, the soldiers rushed into the inner room unscrupulously...

Bu Lianshi cried anxiously and shouted: "No... you can't do this... my husband and I's daughter is the concubine of Mr. Yun Qi... you can't do this..."

When Sun Quan was dragged away, he was shouting, "Madam... madam, go find Xiaohu... let her go to Guan Lin! Let her go..."

Following Sun Quan's words, Trainer Bu's whole body went limp, and she knelt on the ground.

She...she has already looked for Xiaohu, but...but...

Seeing Sun Quan being taken away, getting further and further away from her... In Trainer Bu's eyes, tears of disappointment could not help but fill his eyes, and shed tears on his clothes——

Guan Guan Jujiu, in the river island. A graceful lady, a gentleman is fond of quarrels.

There are various water plants flowing left and right. A graceful lady, I long for her.

Guan Lin was eating, and what he was eating happened to be the Jiangdong specialty water chestnut mentioned in "Guan Ju". Blanch the stems of watercress and soak them in vinegar. It tastes sweet and sour, and is extremely plump!

Even Guan Lin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "There are many kinds of water plants, please work hard and sleep well. I come to think about it and pay tribute to each other."

at this time…

Sun Shangxiang hurriedly barged in from outside the door. A soldier originally blocked her, but Guan Lin heard his voice and waved her hand to let her in.

Of course, even with Guan Lin's instructions, there were female soldiers who checked Sun Shangxiang up and down to make sure he was not carrying weapons.

When Sun Shangxiang entered, she frowned and asked quickly: "Young master, are you still in the mood to eat water chestnuts?"

"What? You want to eat too?" Guan Lin ate by himself, sour and crisp...

Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but write down his intention, "I heard that Sun Shao and Zhou Xun took my second brother away. I asked around and learned that... this is not what Mr. Yunqi meant. What are they going to do?"

Guan Lin picked up a handful of water chestnuts with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and said lightly, "Zhou Xun was the military commander of Jiangdong during the Soochow period, and he is also the candidate I appointed as the left governor. Sun Shao is your eldest brother, the son of the little overlord Sun Bofu, and the commander of Hongyan? If they want to arrest someone, there will always be a reason to arrest them, so why bother asking me about the facts? "

"So..." Sun Shangxiang was stunned, "It was you who gave the order for them to arrest my second brother... But you promised me, Dahu, and Xiaohu to spare my second brother... You can't go back on your promise like this..."

Facing Sun Shangxiang's questioning, Guan Lin looked serious, "I didn't know at the beginning that your eldest brother Sun Bofu, Zhou Gongjin, Taishi Ci, Huang Gai...their deaths were all caused by Sun Quan! Your niece came here before I have begged for mercy, and my answer is the same as before, it is not that I want to kill Sun Quan, but the civil servants and generals in Jiangdong, those tens of thousands of brave soldiers, who will not be able to spare Sun Quan after learning the truth!"

"Isn't it okay to arrest and imprison him?" Sun Shangxiang's tears welled up in his eyes. "Isn't it okay to imprison my second brother and give him some dignity, and also give the Jiangdong Sun family the most basic dignity?"

"Decent?"

Sun Shangxiang's words seemed to touch a certain nerve in Guan Lin's heart. He stood up slowly. He stood proudly in front of Sun Shangxiang, "Speaking of dignity? Mrs. Sun... Haha, you left your childhood sweetheart Zhu behind in Ganlu Temple. However, when you married my uncle, why did you give him any dignity?"

"Have I ever failed to show him dignity?"

"Yes, the maids you brought have entered the residences of various important ministers in Shu. Over the years, Soochow Jiefanying has collected hundreds of thousands of information about Shu and my uncle? This is what you call dignity. ? You turned your back on your childhood sweetheart, but secretly monitored my uncle for Soochow, and waited for an opportunity to seize Jingzhou for Jiangdong? Is this the so-called dignity? Or after my uncle married you, he faced hundreds of sword-wielding maids every night, and was always afraid of Mrs. Sun's change in life. Beneath the elbows and armpits, is this the dignity you give my uncle?"

this…

Sun Shangxiang was suddenly speechless as Guan Lin chanted out his words.

Sun Shangxiang knelt down, folded her arms, buried her head deeply, and cried...

She was obviously a Gong Yao Ji and a Sword Fairy, but she showed her weakest side in front of such a young master.

It seemed that the feeling of powerlessness about saving her second brother, and Guan Lin's denial of her life-long efforts... all made her cry uncontrollably.

"Tap, step..."

Guan Lin walked to her side and listened to her cry for a while before saying, "I heard from Sun Jiao that the Sun Army has a slogan, isn't it? Son of the Sun family, I will never surrender. I would rather die on the battlefield than die in a hotbed! This It was left by your father, General Sun Wentai, right?"

At this point, Sun Shangxiang's tears seemed to have stopped. She raised her head and looked at Guan Lin, at this not-ferocious "life-killing Yama"...

Guan Lin's words continued, "If I were you, I would rather let my second brother die than let him enjoy the rest of his life in a hotbed and spend the rest of his life in waste and suffering!"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin stepped out and walked farther and farther...

Sun Shangxiang looked at him with a feeling that he didn't know whether it should be "shuddering", "creepy" or "sweating".

In the dark room, Guan Lin and Lu Xun were sitting and standing. Guan Lin was sitting on the seat, as if he was pondering something.

Lu Xun advised: "We must not tolerate evil after we have finished eradicating evil... Besides, many of Sun Quan's old subordinates are now looking forward to executing him... Mr. Yunqi can be exempted from the execution of nine of his clans, which is considered to be extremely merciful."

Guan Lin was silent. He was still thinking, as if he was weighing the pros and cons of killing Sun Quan...

The advantage is naturally to allow these people who are sworn in with Sun Quan to completely release and relax the anger accumulated in their hearts.

It was to knock on the mountain to frighten the tiger, to use Sun Quan's head to frighten the clans, to warn them that their crimes were just unresolved, not unaccounted for... let them tuck their tails between their legs!

The disadvantage is…

There are many others, including Lu Su, Sun Shangxiang, Bu Lianshi, Jiang Qin, He Qi, Lu Fan, Kan Ze, etc... These people don't want Sun Quan to die.

And... some people, they didn't want Sun Quan to die either.

After all, Jiangdong was uncivilized at the time, and the economy, culture, and production all developed rapidly during the Sun Quan era. Regardless of whether... Soochow has been a trapped beast in recent years, at least... the people here live and work in peace and contentment... From this level , the people here are grateful to Sun Quan.

so…

It is easy to kill, but it is extremely difficult to prevent the unrest in Jiangdong.

"Actually..." Lu Xun seemed to see Guan Lin's worry, he opened his mouth and said: "Actually, there is no need for Mr. Yun Qi to come forward for this matter. Just let Zhou Xun, Sun Shao, Huang Bing, and Tai Shixiang do it. , they and Sun Quan both had a grudge against killing their father, even if they killed... it was to fulfill their filial piety, it would not cause any criticism, no matter how bad it was... Yun Qi could give small punishments and big warnings afterwards to calm the people. Suspicion… This is the best of both worlds.”

Lu Xun also didn’t want Sun Quan to live.

Back then, the Lu family... was almost destroyed by Sun Quan's instructions...

In this matter, Lu Xun could not use his "humility and gentleness" to forgive Sun Quan.

However, no matter what Lu Xun says...

Guan Lin still didn't answer, he still seemed to be meditating, pondering, and thinking...

"Son...you..."

Lawrence Lu couldn’t help but ask.

At this time, Guan Lin just opened his eyes, and he said slowly, "I was thinking, no matter whether Sun Quan dies or not, there will always be some people who are dissatisfied, so... I just thought, if there is a way to make all the people feel Sun Quan must die...what will that be like?"

ah…

Let all the people feel that Sun Quan must die!

Lu Xun felt that Guan Lin's idea was a bit taken for granted...

It is still a common topic. Sun Quan may have been a trapped beast, but he has not failed the people. The prosperity and peace of Jiangdong in recent years are proof...

I'm afraid it won't be easy to get the people to share their hatred for him!

"Actually, it's very simple... the people's thoughts will be guided by public opinion..." Guan Lin continued, "But now, I just lack an article, an article that can compare with "Begging Thieves" compiled by Chen Lin during the Battle of Guandu. Articles from "Episode"..."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin suddenly thought of something.

He opened his mouth in surprise: "Bo Yan, I thought of a way to make Sun Quan's death more painful, and it would also relieve Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Sun Shao, and Zhou Xun, and even the whole Jiangdong was eagerly waiting for Sun Quan. Way to be slaughtered!”

ah…

Lu Xun quickly asked: "What is it?"

Inexplicably, because Guan Lin's words were so gloomy, Lu Xun felt like he was sweating.
