On a rainy night, Guan Lin slowly unfolded a scroll of pictures in front of the warriors:

——This is a map of Jiaozhou.

The soldiers and warriors were just confused, but Guan Lin's words had already blurted out: "This time, Jiaozhou was indispensable for the destruction of Soochow, so I think..."

It seems that Guan Lin wanted to reward Jiaozhou scholars.

Considering his relationship with Shi Xie, as well as the "gentle and unambitious" temperament of the Shi family, and even Shi Xie's spread of "culture" in the history of the Three Kingdoms, it was a huge contribution that culture made to penetrate into other countries. …

Therefore, Guan Lin was very relieved to allocate several cities and counties at the junction of Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Jiaozhou to Shi Xie for them to govern.

But...it seems that Guan Lin's ideas are somewhat different from Shi Xie's.

Before Guan Lin could finish speaking, Shiwu quickly said, "What did Mr. Yunqi say? I rushed back on my brother's order this time to thank Mr. Yunqi for my brother and for me. ah…"

While speaking, Shiwu excitedly held Guan Lin's hand. His palms were still trembling. It was as if his words...every sentence and every word came from the bottom of his heart, and he understood his true temperament.

"Master Yunqi destroyed Soochow. This cleared away the great enemy from Jiangdong for our Jiaozhou. From now on, Jiaozhou no longer has to worry about the invasion of the Sun family from Jiangdong. The people can live and work in peace and contentment, and my brother can realize his ideals... In Jiaozhou It is a place to develop and promote academics and make Jiaozhou a place where culture flourishes... Let every child here have books to read and articles to write."

Speaking of this, Shiwu scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed, "Actually, speaking of it, my Jiaozhou Shi family may be quite wealthy, but living on the border, there have been no major wars for decades, and the combat power of the soldiers and horses is... Too weak. If Master Yunqi hadn't sold the weapons to us, then... most of Jiaozhou would have been annexed by Sun Quan..."

"Even if not, it would probably be corpses everywhere and rivers of blood, let alone such a peaceful scene as it is now... Therefore, the eldest brother specially asked me to come to see Mr. Yunqi because he wanted to hand over Nanhai County, which is close to Jiangdong in the state. Cangwu County, which is adjacent to Jingnan, gave it to Master Yunqi... Master Yunqi can send officials to receive it at any time. I, the Jiaozhou scholar family, cannot help Master Yunqi strategically, so I can only express our gratitude in this way. , and I also hope to become eternal friends with Master Yunqi, Bashu and Jingzhou! I will always be protected by Master Yunqi..."

As he spoke, Shiwu took out the seals and ribbons of "Nanhai County" and "Cangwu County" directly from the package, and even brought the household registration and roster.

this…

When Shiwu's words came out, and when the household registration, roster, and seals were clearly displayed in front of Guan Lin's eyes, Guan Lin was completely stunned. He was completely stunned.

In order to thank the Jiaozhou scholar family, he planned to give Lingling County, which was connected to Cangwu County, and Luling County, which was connected to Nanhai County, to the Jiaozhou scholar family.

But... before Guan Lin could speak, Shi Xie also thought of this and directly borrowed the words of Shi Wu to connect "Cangwu" connected to "Lingling" and "Nanhai" connected to "Luling". "Send them together.

Isn't this a bit...interesting?

Of course, Jiaozhou was really sent, but Guan Lin couldn't really ask for it. He quickly shied away: "This is impossible. In the past, Sun Quan used tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and lost dozens of generals to seize "Cangwu and Nanhai counties." ...In the end, nothing was achieved. I, Guan Lin, attacked Soochow because I was forced to do it out of necessity... If I took over this city and county, wouldn't I be the same as Sun Quan..."

Guan Lin wants to shirk...

But the attitude of the warriors, no, to be precise, the attitude of the Jiaozhou scholar family was extremely resolute.

"Master Yunqi, please don't shirk..." Shiwu continued solemnly: "Actually, we all know very well that Jiaozhou's combat power cannot compete with Jingzhou and Bashu. What's more, Master Yunqi... you can conquer Dongzhou. If you want to, the people of Wu who have subjugated their country, just stop selling arms to us... Jiaozhou is no match for you at all!"

"But the young master has never expressed any intention to invade Jiaozhou, and has never cut off business ties with Jiaozhou. In addition, I have been with the young master for a long time, and I know very well what kind of person the young master is... Cangwu, Lu The mausoleum is just two counties. Jiaozhou is a gift to the young master. If the young master accepts it, then everyone in Jiaozhou, whether it is my eldest brother or my whole family, can relax! I hope the young master will not postpone it..."

Got it... Following Shi Wu's words, Guan Lin completely understood Shi Xie's painstaking efforts.

Jiaozhou took the initiative to give up the two counties to Guan Lin. Once this matter spreads, the world will surely know the unbreakable friendship between Jiangdong, Jingzhou and Jiaozhou.

Under this situation, if Guan Lin... or... Jingzhou and Jiangdong covet Jiaozhou in the future, they will definitely become the target of public criticism and be despised by all the people in the world. It will also inevitably affect Liu Bei's reputation as a virtuous and virtuous man.

——It doesn’t feel good to have someone pointing at your spine.

It's also that Jiaozhou's combat power is too weak, so it can only think of this method, and can only hold Guan Lin's thigh firmly.

Guan Lin, on the other hand... originally planned to send him to Chengjun.

Unexpectedly, instead of sending the city out, two cities were forcibly sent back.

Sometimes the development of the situation is really beyond his control.

Guan Lin could only sigh: "Senior Shixie has great wisdom..."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin suddenly thought of something, and his eyes turned to the map, "The Jiaozhou scholar family has such trust in me, and I, Guan Lin, can't help but express it..."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin pointed to a place on the map across the sea from Jiaozhou, which is Hainan...

Of course, at that time, this place was not called Hainan, but Zhuyazhou.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, two counties were established here, named Zhuya and Dan'er. It was a veritable wilderness land.

After the death of Emperor Wu, rebellions continued to occur, and countering rebellions brought a huge economic burden to the Han Dynasty.

then…

Voices such as "If you don't want to accept enlightenment in the outside world, you might as well get rid of it..." have become mainstream.

In the end, the Han Dynasty actually gave up here, and it took 500 years for Hainan to return to the Chinese territory!

but…

Perhaps Zhuya Prefecture seems like a barren land to others, but to Guan Lin, it is a land rich in resources that have not yet been exploited.

The fishery resources around the island alone are conservatively estimated to be more than Zhuge Liang could use in ten Northern Expeditions. If you just extract them, you need to pay attention to some methods.

The Western Han Dynasty discarded it like dross, but Guan Lin treated it like a treasure.

Immediately, Guan Lin solemnly said, "The Jiaozhou scholar family gave me the land of two counties. If the man does not go there, I will also give the land of the two counties to the Jiaozhou scholar family... Is this Zhuya, Dan'er? Okay?"

ah…

When the names of Zhu Ya and Dan Er were chanted, Shi Wu was startled. He thought to himself, isn't that a barbaric land?

Unexpectedly, Guan Lin seemed to have seen his thoughts. He smiled and mused: "This... is a good place. The resources here... once mined, I am afraid that even ten Cangwu and Luling will not be able to compare..."

this…

Shiwu was completely confused.

Frankly speaking, if other people said such words, he would go in one ear and out the other, but it was Guan Lin who said these things. His words... seemed to have a kind of magic power, and they were destined to come true!

Just when Shiwu was still thinking about how Zhuya and Dan'er's resources... could be ten times more than those of Cangwu and Luling.

"Report..."

A voice came from outside the door...

"What's the matter?" Guan Lin asked.

A school captain entered the room and saw Guan Lin kneeling on one knee, then he cupped his hands and said: "Master, now the case of Sun Quan's massacre of Zhongliang has completely spread in the public, there are a lot of discussions, and countless people are excited, and they spontaneously gather and rush into the prison Around Sun Quan's prison... they were yelling and swearing in an extremely unpleasant way..."

Well…

When the news came out, Guan Lin was stunned for a moment, then he grinned and laughed lightly.

"This..." Shiwu was also startled, and then whispered subconsciously, "How about I take people to seal the prison and disperse the people..."

"It would be too boring to disperse them." Guan Lin sighed with a smile: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. People always have to pay the price for their actions... Look at this wave, Can Sun Quan be able to bear it?"

Immediately, Guan Lin ordered: "No need to obstruct, just pay close attention and report at any time..."

"No!" Shiwu held his hands and immediately led the captain to retreat.

Guan Lin, on the other hand, stood up slowly and walked slowly to the window. He looked in the direction of the prison, as if the "deafening" abuse of Sun Quan was already floating in his ears.

Violence is never about just resorting to force...

Public opinion is more likely to completely crush a person and turn him into a complete zombie!

The clear liquid leaks out, the moon shines like water, and the entire Jianye City at night is filled with clear frost.

Countless people do not go home to sleep on such nights, but walk around in the dark night.

Because there are more and more people passing through the alleys, the streets here are becoming more and more lively.

The place they rushed to was none other than... the prison where Ye City was built.

The prison where Sun Quan was imprisoned was located directly behind the government office. At this time, guards stood densely around the prison, and the outer circle was filled with people pouring into the prison.

Among these people, there are members of the Lu family, Gan Ning's brothers, Ling Tong's tribe, and a large number of Hongyan people... These are the so-called "shills" who are responsible for guiding the emotions of the people.

But in fact, the people's emotions don't need to be guided at all.

When the truth came out, the names of Sun Ce, Xu Kun, Wu Jing, Sun Yi, Zhou Yu, Taishi Ci, and Huang Gai, who were killed by Sun Quan, were enough to make the whole Jiangdong excited.

Harsh curses and scoldings continued to roar out of the mouths of the veterans.

"Sun Zhongmou, you thief... are you still a human being? In the past, General Taishi... was captured by General Sun Bofu, but he was not killed? He thought he would meet the Ming Lord and help your Sun family sweep Jiangdong, but you killed him instead ? Do you know what he said before he died? He said, "When a man is born in the world, he should carry a three-foot long sword to ascend to the emperor's palace. Now that he has not followed his ambition, he has to die?" Why is he unwilling? It's you Let him die unwillingly!"

"Sun Quan, you thief, tell me what Zhou Lang and Huang Lao General did wrong? Without Zhou Lang and Huang Lao General? Can you hold the position of Lord of Jiangdong? Can you withstand Cao Cao's attack from Chibi? Attack? Being ungrateful and burning bridges? You are simply... worse than a pig or a dog!"

"Sun Quan, the dog thief, no wonder you have purple beard and blue eyes. You are not your father's biological child at all. I don't know which dog thief you are. Otherwise, General Sun Wentai is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong, and General Sun Bofu is the little overlord of Jiangdong. Father and brother What a hero? But you are such a rat? Open your eyes and see, Soochow has fallen to this point in the past two years, and this is all caused by you!"

Roars and shouts, the sound waves gathered together... monstrous waves, like thunder...

Even Lu Su, who felt this, couldn't help but lower his head and frowned: "It hurts, it hurts..."

Sun Deng was also there. It seemed that because his father was insulted, he couldn't hold his head up. He kept muttering: "Dad, so many people say you are wrong, then... then it's probably you who are wrong, right?" ? Killing brothers, killing younger brothers...slaughtering loyal ministers and good generals, dad...what...have you...done in these years?"

at this time…

Another new sound came out.

"Brothers, let's rush in. We will kill this evil thief for the heroes of Jiangdong——"

"For General Sun Bofu——"

"For Zhou Lang——"

"General Taishi Gao Yi, I will avenge you——"

The crowd is excited, as if... Under the spontaneous call of the common people, more and more common people's emotions have accumulated to a certain extent. They are indignant, fearless, deplored, and sad. They have flocked to the soldiers standing here one by one.

"Stop them...but don't hurt them."

Ling Tong immediately gave orders...

These people's cries were the most fervent calls in his heart, and he could also feel that these cries must make the rat Sun Quan in prison tremble with fear and panic.

But... Young Master Yunqi has said that no one is allowed to approach the prison except members of the Sun clan, and he, Ling Tong, will never disobey Guan Lin's order.

"Everyone, calm down, calm down..."

Ling Tong stood on the high platform and shouted loudly: "Master Yunqi has asked the people of the entire six counties and seventy-two counties in Jiangdong to decide Sun Quan's life or death through a referendum. The referendum will take time. Please wait, wait... Kill the evil thieves, Rats, don’t rush this moment!”

"Everyone, please calm down. The guilty ones will be punished. The darkness of Jiangdong's past will be completely exposed and the light will return -"

Outside the prison, the people of Jiangdong were excited and roaring with rage.

In the prison, Sun Quan's eyes were looking at his nose, and his nose was looking at his heart. Finally, his eyes were blank... He stood there blankly, as if he had fallen into some kind of meditation.

It was the impatient call from Sun Luyu who came to deliver food to him.

"Dad...those...those people don't know the truth and were instigated by others...that's why they came here to slander dad and scold him angrily. Dad...Dad, please don't take it to heart..."

When Sun Luyu's voice was chanted, the angry shouts of naming names such as "Dog thief, Sun Quan dog thief" came again... The voice even surpassed Sun Luyu's voice.

"Dad...Dad..."

Sun Luyu had to raise his voice.

Who would have thought that at this moment... Sun Quan, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth to Sun Luyu for the first time, "Xiaohu, please kill dad... kill dad..."

this…

Sun Quan's words shocked Sun Luyu, and she looked at her father at a loss.

And the moment Sun Quan raised his face, Sun Luyu could clearly feel that his father seemed...to be thirty years old all of a sudden. His green eyes had long lost their sparkle, and there was something hidden in his black hair. More white silk.

And this... is just the third day that Sun Quan was bullied by the Internet, no... it was the third day that he was "violated" by public opinion!

Every day whether I open my eyes or sleep...

So many, so many curses came, these voices, this time angrily, these constant chants of his atrocities... have been echoing in his mind, and his willpower can persist for one day, two days... But in this first Within three days, he had a complete breakdown, his nerves were broken.

You know, there is a way to judge "corrupt officials" in later generations, and that is to lock the "corrupt officials" in a room, and then the room is filled with lights from top to bottom, and all the lights illuminate the room as if During the day, lock this corrupt official in there for three days!

Then one day, two days...actually...no more than three days, the so-called "strong-willed" and "tough-tongued" corrupt official's spirit will completely collapse, and he will do everything without interrogation.

It seems that these endless insults are like the "light" that illuminates the room like daylight, making people forget time, making people lose their energy, and in the end...complete collapse.

Sun Luyu didn't know yet, but in front of him...this father just looked old, and his spiritual world was already in ruins and ruins...

"Dad...what are you talking about?" Sun Luyu gritted his teeth..."How could my daughter kill you? Dad...Dad, wake up, wake up..."

"Wake up... Hahaha... Wake up... Hahahaha..." Sun Quan laughed, crazy and foolishly, "There will never be a time when dad will be more awake than now. They... they scolded well, they... They are right, dad... dad does many things that cannot be revealed openly. When all this is revealed to the public, dad... dad will become a street rat, and everyone will shout... dad... dad ...I don’t want to go through this mental torture anymore...Xiaohu, you kill your father...you kill your father and let him be freed...completely freed—"

For three days, on the verge of a mental breakdown, Sun Quan tried to commit suicide by biting his tongue and using various methods...

But he couldn't take that step after all. He was not as brave as his father and brother.

He's just a coward.

"Dad...Dad..." Sun Luyu opened his mouth, but tears flowed down like a broken bead chain...

"You used poison...you put poison in my food!" At this moment, Sun Quan would not care about Sun Luyu's tears. He held Sun Luyu's hand tightly, "Xiaohu, help daddy, help daddy... Do you really want dad to be...judged by countless people, and finally hanged to death in public? Dad is not afraid of death, but dad...doesn't want to die in such a shameful way."

"I...I will go back and find a way, I will find a way to save dad..." Sun Luyu burst into tears more and more.

"No..." Faced with Sun Luyu's proposal, Sun Quan immediately rejected it, "Now, Guan Lin alone can't decide dad's life or death. He...he understands people's hearts too well. He asked the entire Jiangdong to judge Gu. He What you did is right, if Gu and he changed places, Gu would do the same thing!"

Sun Quan's voice became hoarse, "Xiaohu, can you go and beg Guan Lin? Please beg him not to torture me anymore. Please beg him to give me a good time? Don't let me... let me be exposed to the outside again..."

When it comes to this.

Another roar came from outside the prison.

"Sun Quan is a thief, on the day of public trial... I will definitely avenge Zhou Lang!"

"Not just Zhou Lang, there are so many loyal and brave men. On the day of the public trial... their spirits are in heaven. We should kill this Sun Quan thief with one sword and give him Lingchi!"

"How can Ling Chi be enough? When he is half-dead... I want to throw him into a den of snakes and rats. Who makes him so snake-hearted!"

This this…

These unstoppable sounds made Sun Luyu feel pain in her ears and heart. Suddenly, for a moment, she understood her father's request.

She bit her lip tightly, and for a moment... she didn't know what to say or what to do.

"Go, go... next time you come, let dad go happily too!"

Sun Quan's voice became more hoarse and weak, and even the last sound was completely covered by the roars and curses... He stood up slowly and looked at the only window in the prison. There was still a candlelight in the window, but It was dark and dark outside the window.

He murmured and opened his mouth: "I'm tired of being alone. The past is like smoke, and life is like a fleeting moment. How come I have changed from a prosperous young boy from Jiangdong to an old man who everyone wants to get rid of quickly, like a rat crossing the street?" ? Gu has done some evil things over the years, but I did it all for Jiang Dong... Jiang Dong... Haha, whatever, whatever... To this day, Gu is tired... Gu is tired! Xiaohu... you go, go Bar…"

Amidst Sun Quan's mournful voice, Sun Luyu shed tears. Finally, she could no longer contain her complicated mood. She covered her face...and the tears she shed, and ran away...far away...

In her ears, the scolding and ridiculing of her father continued, one after another, one after another——

A moonlight swayed in the center of the waves, and Lu Xun and his wife Sun Ru rode horses along the bank of the Yangtze River.

"Madam has also made great achievements this time. Mr. Yun Qi has mentioned that she must be rewarded...and she specifically asked me how to reward Madam." Lu Xun said slowly.

Sun Ru sighed, "Oh," "You know I didn't call you out tonight because of this..."

As Sun Ru sighed, Lu Xun felt as if his heart was like a bright mirror. He raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky, and then looked at the sparkling moon in the heart of the river... Then he sighed and said: "How come the Sun family in Jiangdong, which is so good, is just like Sun Quan?" This time in office...I have ended up in such a miserable state..."

Sun Ru is the second daughter of Sun Ce, and it is true that Sun Quan is her father-killing enemy, but her surname is also Sun!

She was happy that Sun Quan was about to be tried in public, but she also regretted that the foundation built by Sun Jian and Sun Ce's father was over like this... everything was over!

"That's fine..."

It seemed that walking outside with her husband Lu Xun made her feel a lot better, "Didn't your husband say that? The general trend of the world is that if we divide for a long time, we will unite, and if we unite for a long time, we will divide... Sooner or later, someone will unify the world! Be it Liu Bei or Cao Cao No matter what, the only thing I hate is the evil things Sun Quan has done over the years...Now that he is in such a difficult situation, it can be considered that evil is rewarded..."

"yes!"

Lu Xun echoed his wife’s words…

Sun Ru, on the other hand, suddenly thought of something when talking about this topic, and asked quickly, "I heard that recently... the people in Jiangdong were so excited that they spontaneously rushed to the prison and denounced Sun Quan's crimes day and night. My husband... Do you think... Sun Quan can resist it? Can he survive until the public trial?"

"I can't bear it..." Lu Xun seemed to be the wisest one. He said with emotion: "Actually, if there is a referendum, the people of Jiangdong may not vote to put Sun Quan to death. But the current public opinion and abuse... will make him... This misconception makes him feel like a rat crossing the street, with everyone shouting to beat him up..."

"Then..." Sun Ru couldn't help but want to interrupt...

Lu Xun waved his hand and said: "Madam, you might as well listen to what I have to say. This is a game for Master Yunqi, but I am sure that Sun Quan will not be able to survive this game, because he has never experienced such a desperate situation in the past, and he has never experienced such a desperate situation before. I have never heard so much abuse and ridicule...but in fact...is the world in the hands of those who ridicule? No, no, the world is precisely in the hands of those who can withstand ridicule and ridicule, but still In the hands of those who keep moving forward!”

"For example, Guan Lin and Guan Yunqi. When he was misunderstood as the rebellious son of the Guan family, when he faced so many doubts and ridicules, was he ever timid? Was he timid? Did he ever shrink back, even just one step?"
