Lu Bu sat in the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, holding a sword in his hand, staring at those who were dragged in by the soldiers. He was silent, not angry, as if he was about to kill with a lot of energy in his heart.

The patriarchs of the great clans of all the families were silent when they saw Lu Bu like this, their legs and feet trembled, and they thought to themselves: "What the hell is going on, making such a big fire, it looks like you want to slaughter the city." ”

Lu Bu's eyes were blazing, and he glanced at the hall, where there were twenty-four people, and he waved his sword fiercely and shouted, "Please take a seat!" ”

These two words should have been said very politely, but when they came out of Lu Bu's mouth, they were like angry shouts.

"Lu... General Lu, what is the matter with us? Everyone didn't dare to take their seats, and Li Dejiang, as the patriarch of the second largest family in Xuzhou, arched his hand to Lu Bu and asked.

"I told you all to sit down, didn't you hear?" Lu Bu picked up the long sword and stood up suddenly.

"Yes, yes, yes..." No one dared to touch Lu Bu's moldy head, so he took it as an order, quickly took two steps back, and knelt down beside the coffee table.

Lu Bu asked: "Two months ago, all the families led by the Mi family were beheaded by the general because they were not satisfied with the general. Later, when the family wealth was counted, it was found that there was a lot less food and real estate deeds. Does this matter matter to you? ”

"No, no... Absolutely nothing! Li Dejiang hurriedly stood up and denied it.

"Did I get you on your feet? Sit down! ”

"Yes." Li Dejiang trembled back to his seat.

Lu Bu shouted: "Don't admit it, General Ben has investigated it clearly, your Li family, Zheng family, and you... Before the general's soldiers and horses went to raid the house, he transferred a large amount of grain away, saying that he would help them keep it, and when the wind and waves were calm, he would return the grain to them, yes or no? ”

All the heads of the family were flushed, and they were aggrieved to death.

Li Dejiang frowned slightly, as if he understood something.

Zheng Biyou crawled out crying and wiping away tears, knelt facing Lu Bu, and said, "Lu Lu... General Lu, I, we have never done this, and I hope you will investigate it clearly. ”

"yes, we haven't done that." The other heads of the family also chimed in.

"Haven't you done it? Think again! Lu Bu twisted his long sword and thrust it into the wooden board with a sonorous sound.

"It's... No, I don't. Zheng Biyou's voice became quieter.

Lu Bu squatted down, grabbed Zheng Biyou's collar, and said, "Then do you dare to let me search the Zheng family to see if there is any food?" If so, it proves that you are lying, and you will be sent to Hades then! ”

"Huh?!" Zheng Biyou was stunned, and said in his heart: "The grain in the Zheng family's warehouse is my own." ”

At this moment, all those who had food in the house crawled out and begged for mercy.

"General Lu, spare your life."

"The food we have at home is our own."

"Yes, we bought it with real money."

.....................

Lu Bu turned a deaf ear and roared angrily: "Don't you want to lie to me!" General Ben said ugly things in front, if you don't return the grain, I can't spare you! ”

Li Dejiang sighed secretly in his heart: "If you want to add sin, there is no excuse." As a big family in Xuzhou, which family has no food? He finally understood why Lu Bu had called them here and why he had framed them.

To put it bluntly, don't you just want to extort some food?

The people who knelt on the ground in the hall begged for mercy and cried incessantly.

"Be a big husband in vain, be a daughter! Is there any secret food to give a happy word? lest this general inflict great punishment on you. Lu Bu returned to his seat and sat down, took a sip of tea, and moistened his throat.

"Yes!"

At this moment, a very loud voice sounded in the lobby.

The crying in the hall stopped abruptly.

Lu Bu raised his head and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Patriarch Li." You know the times. Say, how much does your Li family have hidden? ”

"How much the general is missing, how much our Li family has hidden." Li Dejiang knew in his heart that no matter how much he said, Lu Bu would not be satisfied, so he simply handed this problem back to Lu Bu and let Lu Bu say it himself.

In the eyes of others, Li Dejiang's move is a very stupid act. Obviously he didn't hide it privately, but he insisted that he hid it privately, wouldn't he pour dirty water on himself? Just wait for the bad luck.

But Li Dejiang knew in his heart that as long as he took out the grain, he would be fine, and he should be ruined to avoid disasters.

Lu Bu unhurriedly took out a list and read: "The Li family, 10,000 stones of grain are privately hidden. ”

Hearing this number, the corners of Li Dejiang's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in his heart: "TM, you are too ruthless, and you open your mouth to 10,000." ”

Without waiting for Li Dejiang to reply, Lu Bu continued: "General Ben will give you two months to raise all the grain and send it to the northbound granary. ”

"Yes." Li Dejiang's face sank like water, and he had a weak return.

Lu Bu waved his hand: "Okay, you can go back." ”

"General Xie."

Li Dejiang swaggered away.

"What about you?" Lu Bu's gaze turned to the others in the hall.

Zheng Biyou made a bitter face and asked, "Will... General, what am I, how much am I? ”

"You just give 8,000 stones."

"Ahh This, so much? Yes... Can you do less? ”

"You think this is a vegetable market, and you still bargain with me?"

"Yes, yes... I, I give eight thousand! Zheng Biyou stood up and asked, "Then I, can I go?" ”

"Let's go, let's go, don't forget, like Li Dejiang, there are only two months."

"Yes."

After Zheng Biyou left, the other heads of the family reacted. The reason for the incident is actually very simple, that is, because Lu Bu has no food and wants to extort a little food. The so-called private collection is just an excuse, as long as the food is handed over, it will be fine.

This requires the heads of the family to choose, is it to give up their wealth to avoid disasters? Or do you want to carry it and not give it?

"I'll give it to me..."

"We give it too."

"General, how much do we give?"

...............

Obviously, when faced with a life-and-death decision, no one can bear it!

Lu Bu's heart blossomed, and he hurriedly blackmailed one by one according to the heads on the roster. Some have five thousand stones, some have three thousand stones, and some have a thousand stones. In total, the twenty-four families have a total of 54,000 stones!

With so much food, if converted into money, it will be at least 20 million yuan!

"Hahaha... 54,000 stone of grain, enough for the army to support until next year. After everyone left, Lu Bu took the roster and prepared to go to Xiao He and tell Xiao He the good news.

But as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Chen Gonghuo running in in a hurry, as if there was something urgent.

When Lu Bu saw it, he immediately put away his smiling face, and said in his heart: "It must be for the sake of the family, alas... It's annoying. Lao Tzu walked through the back door, out of sight. ”

Turning to enter the Thorn Mansion, Lu Bu slipped out the back door.
