Chapter 319: Bold!
Blood slid down from Xu Tian's right hand and slowly dripped to the ground along the long sword.
Drop by drop, a line is connected to the ground.
"Two roads, first, hand over all the industries and get out of Xiangyang!
Second, take out your heads and continue to follow Zhu Ning! ”
Xu Tian's voice was extremely indifferent, and the long sword in his right hand was still dripping with blood, making him look angry.
There was no resistance, no struggle, and everyone without exception chose to hand over all the property.
What are these things compared to life?
It's a pity that this person is so strange, and many things will never be completely awakened until they fail.
Just like these people in front of you, if they had thought like this from the beginning and didn't participate in such a thing, where would they have gotten to this point.
After the matter here was settled, Xu Tian turned around and beckoned to Lu Tianba.
Without any hesitation, Lu Tianba came to Xu Tian's side,
I didn't care about the rich bloody aura on Xu Tian's body at the moment.
Holding Lu Tianba's hand, Xu Tian came to everyone and said loudly.
"From now on, Lu Tianba is the Great Si Nong of my Chu State!
All domestic commercial transactions, taxes, and farming are all handed over to Lu Tianba!
From this moment on, all of these parties must obey his orders except me, otherwise they will be punished as collaborators! ”
"Do you understand?!" Xu Tian said to the people kneeling together.
"Understood!!" Everyone replied in unison.
Looking at Xu Tian's slightly slender back, Lu Tianba knelt down again.
Not only him, but Lu Shan, who had been watching all this excitedly, also knelt on the ground and bowed down to Xu Tian.
"What are you doing here?" As soon as Xu Tiangang turned around, he saw Lu Tianba who fell to the ground, and asked with a frown.
"Minister Lu Tianba, thank you for the grace of the king!" Lu Tianba did not get up, but spoke loudly.
"That's it! Get up! Xu Tian strode forward, threw the long sword aside, picked up Lu Tianba with his blood-covered hand, and said loudly.
"From today onwards, you are the great Si Nong of my King of Chu.
From now on, you don't have to bow to me! ”
Xu Tian's voice was very loud, and most of the people present heard this.
Lu Shan, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled even more.
He didn't know that Xu Tian was telling everyone that Lu Tianba was his person, and no one could shake him except him!
Because of Xu Tian's appearance, the matter ended quickly and bloodily.
The situation that day was spreading in Xiangyang at a very fast speed.
The content of the incident is not the core of the transmission, the focus is on Xu Tian's decisiveness in killing and his ruthlessness.
All those who thought that Xu Tian was just a cowardly scholar opened their mouths wide.
In addition, the business pattern of Xiangyang has also undergone tremendous changes.
Except for the Lu family and the Yao family, the rest of the merchants were almost swept away.
Almost everyone took out the ninth floor of their possessions, and then left here with regret.
They had no doubt that if they didn't do it, then the end would be like Zhu Ning's.
The scene of the sword sealing the throat has been deeply engraved in their hearts.
The few merchants who have followed the Lu family from beginning to end have naturally received huge benefits.
Almost without exception, they all ascended to the sky in one step, reaching a point that they never dared to think of in their lives.
It's just that both Lu Tianba and Xu Tian are very puzzled that this person who has always expressed loyalty is actually all foreign merchants.
This question, at this moment in the palace of the King of Chu, Xu Tian also asked Pang Tong.
Pang Tong's answer is very simple, that is, subordinates will always be greedy.
"O king, think about what life these merchants have lived in the past, and what life they are living now.
Life is getting better day by day, but this heart is getting darker day by day!
As it turns out, these people don't have to have these!
Those who come here have no roots in Xiangyang, and of course they need their own unremitting efforts.
Of course, it won't be used as child's play! ”
Pang Tong's anger didn't seem to have subsided, and he said disdainfully.
Seeing that Xu Tian's face was not very good, Pang Tong did not continue.
He knew Xu Tian's thoughts, but this human nature was not a problem that could be solved in a moment and a half.
The sons of the pre-Qin Dynasty have been arguing on this issue for hundreds of years, but they still have their own reasons.
"Great King, will the audience with the emperor continue in these two days?
If something like this happens, will you be able to meet your expectations? ”
Pang Tong was silent for a moment, looked up at Xu Tian and asked.
This envoy of Sun Liu has been in the city for a long time.
When something like this happened, Pang Tong thought that Xu Tian's idea of using the emperor to create political suppression should be in vain.
Perhaps because of Shen Du, Pang Tongtong was worried that the emperor would be their biggest hidden danger.
"Of course we continue, otherwise we will be very passive.
Shi Yuan, you immediately go in person and inform the Zhuge Liang brothers and tell them that the matter of meeting the emperor will be carried out in two days! ”
Xu Tian didn't think about it, and decided the matter neatly.
At this moment, Ling Feng came back in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the house, he said directly to Xu Tian.
"The king, you said it again, the main clansmen of the Zhu family, including the head of the family, Zhu Xu, are all gone!"
"Gone?" Pang Tong was taken aback.
You must know that since the incident, Xu Tian has asked Pang Tong to carry out all-round surveillance of the Zhu family.
From beginning to end, Pang Tong did not receive any report of any changes in the Zhu family.
It's almost impossible to send these people away without them knowing.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if the people sent by Pang Tong have a business trip, there can't be a problem with the shadow guard?
He believed that Xu Tian must have left the shadow guard behind them.
But looking at Xu Tian's performance at this moment, it seems that he expected that people would disappear, but he didn't find anything.
"It's not strange," Xu Tian squinted his eyes and muttered to himself. What about the others? ”
"Everyone else is in the mansion, but the strange thing is that according to them, Zhu Ning once strictly ordered them not to leave the mansion at will, otherwise they would be worried about their lives."
Ling Feng's words once again made Xu Tian fall into deep thought.
After a moment, he asked again. "What about the merchants who were gathered by Zhu Ning? What did you find? ”
"This matter is the weirdest, everyone is unanimous, it was Zhu Ning who coerced and lured them.
They also said that they didn't want to, and they didn't dare to follow him.
But Zhu Ning once assured them with great certainty that the Lu family would definitely compromise, and he also brought out you, the king!
If that's the case, they say..."
Speaking of this, Ling Feng paused, looked at Pang Tong, and then at Xu Tian, as if he had some doubts.
"Just say..."
"They also said that Zhu Ning had secretly spread the news that after this success, paper and printed books could also be owned by them..."
