Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

Chapter 552: A rat has skin and a human has no manners. What’s the use of immortality?

Two bamboo slips were spread out in front of Guan Lin.

One of the letters was covered with Liu Bei's handwriting. It seemed that since the fall of Soochow and Sun Quan was captured, Guan Yu had reported the matter to Liu Bei urgently.

Liu Bei's reply was also very quick, expressing his attitude in just eight words - "Punish Sun Quan, and Yunchang will decide on his own!"

As for the second bamboo slip, it was written by Guan Yu to Guan Lin. It was more like a letter from home than a letter.

It is stated above that the situation in Xiangfan and Wanxu is now business as usual. There is not much news from Luoyang, and Cao Jun has not taken any action.

Of course, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is... on the issue of executing Sun Quan, Guan Yu's attitude is the same as Liu Bei's - "Punish Sun Quan, Yunqi will self-determine!"

It was equivalent to executing Sun Quan... This hot potato went around in a big circle and circled back to Guan Lin's hands.

In fact.

This matter can only be decided by Guan Lin.

Sun Quan's life and death is related to the stability of Jiangdong, the attitude of those generals who surrendered from Jiangdong, and the military morale and fighting spirit of tens of thousands of Jiangdong's children.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, who are far away in Bashu, and Guan Yu, who is nearby in Jingzhou, cannot take the risk...to make this decision for Guan Lin.

So…

call…

With a faint exhale, Guan Lin clapped his hands on the two bamboo slips and said in a deep voice: "The show has begun!"

In just three days, the entire Soochow, including Jianye City, Wu County, Kuaiji, and Luling...six counties and seventy-two counties, successively set up stages in the busiest streets and alleys in the city, and then staged a play everywhere.

In the play, Zhou Yu, who was dressed as a "little student", took the medicinal wine sent by the "painted-faced" "Sun Quan" without any hesitation.

The man who delivered the wine was still talking: "Wu Houyun allowed Zhou Lang to enter Tubashu, connect the south, and divide the world into two parts... In this way, we can form an iron wall to fight against the rebellious Wei. Wu Hou trusted Zhou Lang extremely... Wu Hou also said, General Zhou Yu, I know your worries and sacrifices for the country, but you must also take good care of yourself... Only with a healthy body and mind can you better shoulder the important responsibilities of the country. This glass of practice wine will open up new territories for you. His achievements also wish Gongjin good health..."

When these words were spoken.

Zhou Yu, who was dressed as a "little boy", drank the bottle of wine without hesitation. He raised his hands to the envoy and said, "Burn Red Cliff and march westward to Bashu, just to plant the flag of the Sun family of Soochow everywhere." Mainland——"

As the sound fell... the curtain was raised, and behind the curtain... Zhou Yu's figure... made a "clang" sound, first spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell to the ground.

This first act... the drama also ended abruptly at this moment.

Wait until the next scene unfolds...

It was the conversation between Pang Tong and Zhou Yu. At that time, Pang Tong was still Zhou Yu's meritorious officer.

Facing Zhou Yu who was lying on the hospital bed and dying, Pang Tong angrily said, "This Sun Quan is two-faced. In name, he supports Zhou Lang's attack on Bashu, but secretly... he does such a despicable and dirty act. Such a villain... why should I be loyal? I wait. His affairs should be made public, his reputation should be ruined, and he should be ridiculed by everyone in the world!"

Facing Pang Tong's words, Zhou Yu coughed and responded: "Shi Yuan, that's not what you said at the beginning. When you and I first met, you said, 'The world is in chaos today, and the way to justice is Gradually decline, there are few good people and many bad people. You want to raise such a custom to achieve the purpose of promoting the right path... You also said, 'We must promote good examples and improve the world. If you don't do this, there will be fewer and fewer good people. Ten people If you can improve five people among them, half of the matter can be completed, and the purpose of educating the world can be achieved, so that people with ambition can encourage themselves. 'Aren't these words... what you said? What you and I are doing is not right. Is it to improve the world's morals and promote righteousness?"

"Gong Jin...but..."

Before Pang Tong could ask back, Zhou Yu's hoarse words recited again, "After all, the Marquis of Wu is jealous of me and suspects that I will be independent when I go to Bashu, so I use this method to prevent the Western Expedition... but it is in vain that you and I have spent many years working on this matter." Plots, whatever... you should keep those maps to Bashu and the information about Bashu officials carefully, in the future... if there is a destined person, he will definitely be able to come in handy."

When Zhou Yu said this, Pang Tong burst into tears.

He said harshly: "Then the poisonous wine thing has made your Zhou Gongjin's current body...forget it? Forget it?"

"I am already mortal... When my life is exhausted, I should not only consider myself, but also my family... Xiao Qiao, Xun'er..." Zhou Yu's voice became thinner and thinner, as if he was making a Having made a certain decision, he used his last strength to tell Pang Tong: "Shi Yuan, you write for me, I want to leave a letter to Wu Hou..."

This... After Pang Tong pondered briefly, he sighed "Alas" and nodded heavily.

"well…"

In this way, a suicide note from Zhou Yu was recited sentence by sentence in a heavy and complicated tone through the narration of the drama.

——"Yu, with his extraordinary talents and special circumstances, entrusts his confidants to command the troops and horses, and dares to exert all his strength in order to achieve results."

——"Death and life are unexpected, but cultivation is short but life is short; foolish ambitions have not been developed, and the body has died, how deep is the regret!"

When these two sentences were recited, combined with the previous story, countless people cried when they heard it.

Zhou Lang, who has made such great achievements...

But...he was...poisoned by Sun Quan because of his strategic plan of "conquering Bashu from the west" and "dividing the world into two parts"...even Zhou Lang in the end had to write this suicide note against his will, just to protect his family. Small…

this?

this!

He is the hero who saved Jiangdong in the Battle of Chibi!

But why did he seem to be a heinous criminal in Sun Quan's eyes?

Irony...so ironic!

The people shed tears, and the voice of the narration continued, with the addition of piano music.

——"Currently, Cao Cao is in the north, and the battlefield is not yet quiet; Liu Bei's stay is like raising a tiger; the affairs of the world are not yet known."

——"This is the autumn day when the emperor is eating, and it is also the day when the Supreme Being pays close attention."

——"Lu Su is loyal and meticulous, so he can take over Yu's duties. When a person is about to die, his words are also good. If you can learn from him, Yu will be immortal after death."

When all these are chanted.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "The sound of moving clouds and flowing water is still there, and from now on the music will be unmistakable."

Someone else shouted: "Zhou Lang will live forever..."

For a moment, everyone came to their senses and wiped away their tears... They shouted: "Zhou Lang Qiangu...Zhou Lang Qiangu——"

"Zhou Lang Qiangu——"

"Eternal—"

At this time, Lu Yan was also mixed in the crowd. He was wearing a bamboo hat, and he could tell.

Among the crowd... Master Yunqi has arranged a lot of child care!

However, under the guidance of these shills, the effect is very good——

Outside the palace built in Ye City, bells, drums and horns sounded, heralding the beginning of the solemn court meeting.

All the civil and military officials under Guan Lin, and all the officials above Soochow's school lieutenant, stood solemnly on the square, and those with good relations were in groups of three or five... there was endless discussion.

Wu Guotai was also standing on the side. She was being supported by Trainer Bu. Her expression was a little solemn.

She looked around the people in the entire palace in fear, as if she could already feel that this court meeting... would probably decide whether her second son would live or die.

At this time, a civil servant shouted loudly at the foot of the steps: "The Fourth Young Master Guan is here..."

At this time, the original noise fell down... everyone looked at the steps intently.

Guan Lin stepped forward. Behind him, Guan Yinping and Mi Lu looked around vigilantly, as if they were on guard against hidden arrows at any time...

After that, there are Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Lu Xun, Sun Jiao, Su Fei and others.

After that, there are Sun Shao, Zhou Xun, Tai Shixiang, Zhou Jun, Huang Bing...

And a row of soldiers, each holding a halberd, majestic.

Guan Lin also rarely stepped into the palace with dragon and tiger steps, and the accompanying officials stood on both sides.

Among so many people, Guan Lin noticed Wu Guotai at a glance. He stepped forward respectfully, bowed his hands and saluted Wu Guotai.

Wu Guotai's heart thumped. She was a little at a loss and said in a panic: "Fourth Young Master Guan, this...this can't be done!"

"It makes, makes, the elders are respected, and the younger generation salutes when they see their elders. This is etiquette and rules..."

Guan Lin's words seemed quite friendly. He and Master Bu also looked at each other, then turned around and said: "Guotai is the most distinguished person in the court here. Come, show Guotai a seat!"

Wu Guotai sat down in fear...

Guan Lin then returned to the main seat and spoke calmly: "Today we have summoned all the officials from Jiangdong, big and small, because Sun Quan planned to kill his brother and massacre loyal ministers. The case has been concluded, and both human and physical evidence are available... A blood-sealed letter written in the blood clearly shows that Jiangdong's destiny is clear..."

"However, this case concerns General Sun Bofu, the former British master of Soochow, the meritorious general Tai Shici of Soochow, the governor Zhou Gongjin, and the death of General Huang Gai and Huang...I, Guan Lin, do not dare to be arbitrary. I ask all the ministers to express their opinions, and I would like to ask General Zhou Xunzhou, who is after Zhou Lang, to speak first."

Zhou Xun came out and said loudly: "I have investigated clearly with Hongyan and others, and the evidence is conclusive. The deaths of Zhou Yu, Taishi Ci, Huang Gai, Sun Ce... and even Xu Kun, Wu Jing, and Sun Yi are inseparable from Sun Quan. This person On May 17th of the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce's whereabouts were leaked to the Du, Lin, Yan, Xu, and Wang families. Then the family united with Xu Gong's three disciples to set up an ambush in Dantu Mountain... and shot General Sun Bofu with an arrow. Face gate... In October of the eleventh year of Jian'an, Sun Quan gathered these five families again... On the 13th of the month, he plotted to poison Taishi Ci. He was punished five days later. At the same time, the army pressed into Yangzhou and killed all those who knew the truth. Slaughter...Jian'an..."

Zhou Xun matched the deaths of the twelve loyal ministers and generals of Soochow in the past ten years with Sun Quan's behavior in one breath.

Put it together with the evidence...

The words are so conclusive that they are shocking to listen to.

At this time, even those who originally supported Sun Quan, such as Lu Fan, Jiang Qin, He Qi, and Kan Ze, could not help but feel chills all over their bodies. Even... Wu Guotai's body trembled for a while, even though he was sitting, he almost stumbled because of his staggering. Fell to the ground.

On the other hand, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Lu Xun, Sun Jiao, Su Fei and others were all excited...

It was as if the grievances and accusations I had suffered over the years could be completely released at this moment, with this piece of conclusive evidence.

The most important thing is that these evidences are conclusive, Sun Quan must die!

At this moment, Guan Lin patiently listened to Zhou Xun's words, and he said quietly, "Is that done? The evidence of the crime is also conclusive, right?"

"Fourth Young Master, it's true -" Zhou Xun answered decisively.

At this time, Gan Ning couldn't help but roared: "Since the evidence is conclusive? Then what is there to argue about? Sun Quan killed his brother Zhongliang. This is an outrage and a heinous crime. It should be a capital crime and implicated..."

Gan Ning wanted to say that he would implicate the three clans, but he found that Wu Guotai was still in the palace, Bu Lianshi was still there, and Sun Jiao was still there... So, he blurted out the word "implicate" and swallowed the rest of the words... hard.

At this moment...the ministers who sided with Sun Quan were all silent...

On the other hand, Ling Tong, Sun Shao and others took a step forward, "We second the proposal and ask the Fourth Young Master to kill Sun Quan and restore a peaceful world to Jiangdong."

Next, there were waves of "I second my opinion".

Most officials support killing Sun Quan…

But Guan Lin still noticed that Lu Fan, Jiang Qin, He Qi, and Kan Ze did not speak, a handful of officials did not speak, and even some clans did not express their stance.

Finally, Lu Fan opened his mouth. He seemed to suddenly wake up, stumbled forward, and asked in a low voice: "Fourth Young Master, but... But on the day when Kuaiji City accepted the surrender, you said... spare Sun Quan's life!"

"That's right!"

Even Lu Fan didn't expect that Guan Lin had no intention of defaulting on his debt at this time. He raised his long sleeves and said:

"People say that my father, Guan Yun, has a long righteousness and a promise to Bo Yuntian. As his son, although I will not make a promise to a thousand gold, I still have to stick to the words I have said... But now, it is not me who wants to kill Sun Quan, but a hundred people." Official, it’s the law, it’s Sun Quan’s evil deeds over the years, it’s him who wants to cut off his own path!”

At this point, Guan Lin's tone became solemn and meticulous, "The world is never one person's world, nor is it my uncle, my father, or my Guan Lin's world. The same is true for Jiangdong! I can keep my promise and not rise up. Sun Quan was spared this killing...but...before this crime, the thousands of common people in Jiangdong, would they have spared Sun Quan such a crime?"

"Therefore, whether Sun Quan should die or not should not be decided by me. It should be decided by all the common people in Jiangdong. It should be decided by the people and the people... It should be decided by the people... Therefore, since I am in charge of Jiangdong, I cannot make decisions for the people on such a big matter. , all I can do...is to let them make their own decisions!"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin looked at Lu Xun, "Bo Yan, please tell me——"

Hearing Guan Lin call out his name, Lu Xun stepped forward and unfolded a document, "From now on, the government will let the people vote in a referendum in accordance with the names in the household registration list. Should they kill? Should they not kill? Or give up! The entire Jiangdong Six counties and seventy-two counties, everyone has to choose... Mr. Yunqi means that Sun Quan’s power of life and death will be completely handed over to the people and all the people!"

this…

Following Guan Lin's words, everyone fell silent...

Undoubtedly... Guan Lin's words allowed the people to decide on Sun Quan's death. No matter who it was, no one could raise any doubts.

Silence...for a time, the entire palace fell into endless silence.

Instead, it was Guan Lin who lengthened his voice and added a question: "Don't you understand?"

"I understand——"

"The general will eventually know——"

Following words like these, Guan Lin's voice chanted again, "Since you all understand, let's do this. From today on, there will be no dictatorship and rule in Jiangdong. Jiangdong is the Jiangdong of Jiangdong people-"

this…

Undoubtedly, Guan Lin's last sentence, especially "Jiangdong is the Jiangdong of Jiangdong people" sublimates the entire style.

Here, a good play "Sun Quan's Sinful Life" led by Wang Can and Ruan Yu is constantly touring throughout Jiangdong.

The entire public opinion seemed to fall violently to one side in an instant.

At the same time, the action led by the government to let the people vote and decide whether Sun Quan would live or die was also in full swing.

During this period, Bashu, who was thousands of miles away from Jiangdong... Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Ke, Diao Chan... finally arrived together with the "several prescriptions".

We have arrived at the city gate.

But at this moment... Fazheng's body was extremely weak, and he had even lost his senses. Vomiting, vomiting blood, and coma... these phenomena became more and more serious.

Liu Bei... after he handed over all government and military affairs to Zhuge Liang, he did one thing in the past few days, staying with Fa Zheng.

"Alas... alas..."

From time to time, Liu Bei's sigh of regret can be heard.

At their wits' end... All the doctors were at their wits' end, which made Liu Bei's heart constantly filled with panic, as if he might lose this good friend at any time.

Mrs. Wu had just taken down the cold food and replaced it with hot new food. She couldn't help comforting Liu Bei: "Husband, no matter what, you have to take care of your body...you still have to eat...otherwise, you won't be able to When the chief military officer wakes up, if my husband falls ill again, wouldn't it make him feel distressed?"

Mrs. Wu finally figured it out... As far as Liu Bei was concerned, compared with Fazheng, she couldn't even compare to Fazheng. The difference was too far.

Of course, Mrs. Wu is not a jealous person, on the contrary, she is very considerate.

It's just... why does Liu Bei care about this? He cares about this.

"You go down first. Xiao Nao's body is getting worse and worse. How can I be in the mood to eat?"

Liu Bei sighed, his eyes always focused on Fazheng, and he didn't even have the time to look sideways at Mrs. Wu...

"well…"

Mrs. Wu could only sigh, lowered her head, and walked out.

I never thought that not long after he went out, Wu Yi walked over. In fact, he had been waiting here for a while.

"Master... still don't want to eat?"

"Yes..." Mrs. Wu shook her head, "A few days ago, I could still eat some food, but in the past few days, as Fa Zheng's condition deteriorated rapidly, he... didn't even eat a bite of vegetables..."

call…

Following Mrs. Wu's words, Wu Yi let out a long sigh and couldn't help but sigh.

——"Sure enough, Li Yan is right, there is a law... This Dongzhou faction, how can it be the turn of others to take the lead? The Dharma is here, and in this future...who the heir to be will be a variable! 』

With this thought in his mind, Wu Yi's expression showed no trace of anger...

"My lord, can you tell me about Adou?"

He couldn't help but add another question.

This is actually what he cares about most.

Since the last time Li Yan performed with him and reprimanded "Liu Chan", Liu Bei also sent people to investigate, slaughtering cattle for cooking, forcibly requisitioning farmers' land, and forcing farmers to work... These are all indisputable fact…

But when the news came back to Liu Bei, it seemed that there was nothing more to say!

It seems that because... Fazheng's condition has worsened, Liu Chan's "ridiculous thing" seems to have disappeared into the sea, and there is no news about it.

Undoubtedly, this is not what Wu Yi, Li Yan, Liu Feng, and Ma Di want to see.

"I don't even bother to eat, how can I mention other things..." Mrs. Wu didn't seem to want to get too entangled in Liu Chan's absurdity.

However, Wu Yi quickly grabbed his sister's clothes and pulled her aside, "You must pay attention to Liu Adou's ridiculous things. When the opportunity is right, blow the air in my lord's ear appropriately..."

this…

Mrs. Wu understood what Wu Yi meant, but... because of the meeting between him and Liu Chan on the wedding day.

The two "chickens" wrapped in lotus leaves that Liu Chan left for her allowed her to satisfy her hunger and at the same time, her mood also came out of the infinite haze and became warm...

This was so fresh in her memory!

It was the most delicious chicken she had ever eaten in her life, and Liu Chan was also a young man she liked very much.

"Brother? Why...do you have to harm Mr. Liu Chan?"

Mrs. Wu raised questions...

Wu Yi's face turned cold, "Don't ask those people, just do what I said... This is related to the prosperity of our family, so don't be confused."

This... Mrs. Wu couldn't help but bury her head.

at this time…

A hurried cry was heard at the gate of General Zuo's Mansion: "Medicine, medicine... medicine... medicine is coming, medicine is coming -"

It was Zhao Yun who shouted...

Behind him are Diao Chan, Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Ke...

Of course...there are also "Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction" and "Suxiao Jiuxin Pills";

Coming, coming, they finally arrived.

Since the decree "Referendum determines Sun Quan's life and death" was posted all over the city, "Sun Quan poisoned Zhou Yu", "Sun Quan poisoned Tai Shici", "Sun Quan plotted to murder his brother"... three consecutive dramas continued in every county. Played in a roundabout way.

as if…

The people, especially the men, in the six and seventy-two counties of Jiangdong have become much more irritable.

"boom"

In a wine shop in Wu County, there was another elegant man in his thirties.

It was completely inconsistent with his image. He couldn't help but slap his palm down hard, and then roared angrily: "A rat has skin, but a human has no manners! If a human has no manners, what's the point of not dying! What's the point of not dying?"

At this time, a strong man beside him yelled: "If you do any unrighteousness, you will be punished by death. What Sun Quan did is just like 'If you do any unrighteousness, you will be punished'!"

It seems... the voices denouncing Sun Quan are like the water of the Yellow River rolling in, and like the Huangpu River flooding out of control...

The voices grew louder and more violent.

——"Rotten wood cannot be carved, and a wall of dung cannot be built!"

——"Yes, such a rat... No wonder he commanded 100,000 troops, but was killed by Zhang Liao's 800? How can God protect such an unkind, unfaithful and unfilial person? Damn it... let him take charge of Jiangdong 16th load!"

——"Stop talking, just choose 'kill'! Such a heinous person should not survive in the world! Kill, kill... Those who don't vote for 'kill' are not bloody men!"

It seems... In the entire market, under the instigation of public opinion, the "Lord of Soochow", who was originally revered by the people of Jiangdong, has only experienced a few days, and he is about to become a street rat, and everyone is shouting to beat him...

It seems that in this matter, who would not call for beating? Who is immoral!
