Xu Chun raised his eyebrows. "That's 20,000 stones. If it's not enough, most of the Yangxian families are here, and it won't be a problem to get together another 10,000 or 20,000 stones. As long as the general can exterminate these bandits, we are willing to eat porridge with our family. ”

Everyone in the hall heard this, and they gritted their teeth in anger. Xu Chun wanted to please Sun Ce, but he pulled them to accompany him. There is no big problem for the Xu family to get 20,000 stone rice, and if they want to make up 10,000 or 20,000 stone rice, the family will really eat porridge. In normal times, they would definitely come up with all kinds of reasons to excuse themselves, but in the face of four hundred cold and shining blades, and there may be suspicions of collusion with the bandits at any time, no one dared to say no, so they had to bite the bullet and pledge one by one, or three or five hundred stones, or a thousand stones, and in the end, it did not reach ten thousand stones, only more than seven thousand stones.

Sun Ce was not in a hurry, and asked Pang Tong to put away the account books, wait for tomorrow dawn, and then go to those who did not come to raise donations. In a word, this time the bandits in the mountains near Yangxian must be destroyed. Xu Chun listened happily and echoed. Those who were forced to pledge dared not speak out, and waited more and more to see Xu Chun's jokes.

Sun Ce looked at the eyes of these people, but his face was silent, he just wanted Xu Chun to perform to his heart's content, and provoked the anger of these people step by step, and when he put Xu Chun down, no one would speak for Xu Chun. If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, the Xu family is the first family of Yangxian, and they must take advantage of others in ordinary times, but the Xu family officials are big, and the state and county have to give three points of thin noodles, and these little tycoons can't afford to provoke them.

People who have not had opponents for a long time often have unrealistic self-confidence, and Xu Chun is this kind of person. If it weren't for that, how could he have done such a stupid thing. Yangxian Xu's family is a hair, can no cow be better than Runan Pingyu Xu's cow? I don't inquire, Xu Shao has been made away from home by me, you dare to fight with me as a turtle, it's just playing with fire.

That's fine, kill you idiot, and deter the Wu Hui family so that they don't act rashly. When getting along with the family, it is not enough to just show goodwill, but also to show force appropriately. The left hand is kingly, the right hand is domineering, the royal road is for people to see, and domineering is the ability to look at the house.

According to the plan discussed with Guo Jia and Shen You in advance, Sun Ce led Xu Chun into the pit step by step. Xu Chun saw that Sun Ce regarded the bandit as the main target in his words, and his heart was full of joy, for fear that Sun Ce would retreat if he knew the difficulty, as long as he could solve it, he was willing to help, and he kept cheering for Sun Ce, just waiting for Sun Ce to lose his generals in the mountains and be embarrassed. After some bargaining, Sun Ce not only got enough food for the 6,000 army to eat for half a year, but also got more than 50 million in cash, and even his 40 million that was "burned" was recognized by Xu Chun.

Xu Chun, the first Haoqiang in Yangxian, cut his flesh, and the other little Haoqiang also followed the bleeding, no one wanted to run, and they hated it one by one.

The sky was about to dawn, and just when everyone was exhausted, Yang Xiu and Xiang Lang came back. Yang Xiu walked up to Sun Ce and handed over a piece of paper. Sun Ce swept it over, frowning slightly.

"You can't be mistaken, right?"

"No, it won't." Yang Xiu said with certainty: "The confessions of several people are consistent and confirmed. ”

Sun Ce nodded and motioned for Yang Xiu to sit aside. He stared at the paper on the case for a long time, raised his head, looked at Xu Chun, and hesitated for a while. "Gong Xu, do you know Chen Fu?"

The moment Yang Xiu walked in, Xu Chun tensed his nerves. After a night of tossing, I finally have to see the results. Needless to say, it must have been the thieves who were caught who confessed to their defeats. His connection with Chen Yu is very hidden, except for a limited number of people who know about it, most of the bandits don't know about it.

"I know there's this guy, but I've never seen it."

"Your family...... Will someone hide it from you and collude with Chen Wei? ”

Xu Chun's heart tightened. What does this mean, how can he confess that it is related to the Xu family, what the hell is Chen Fu doing, how can he send someone who knows? A cold sweat broke out on his back, and his eyes narrowed even more, hiding the panic in his eyes as much as possible in the depths of his heart.

"What, there are bandits who want to bite my Xu family?" Xu Chun forced his composure and showed an unnatural smile. "The general can't be gullible, these bandits often come to Yangxian to loot, my Xu family has hundreds of parts, several battles, they didn't take any advantage, but they suffered a lot of losses, and it is normal to want to take revenge on my Xu family. However, the general's eyes are like lightning, and he will not be fooled. ”

Sun Ce smiled. "The clear person is self-purifying, since Xu Gong doesn't know, then I'll ask others, even if I ask, it has nothing to do with Xu Gong." As he spoke, he raised his hand. Xiang Lang walked to Xu Min's side, bowed down, and the two righteous servants followed him like a shadow, rushed over, one left and one right, and caught Xu Min. Although he didn't say a word, his own invisible coercion spread, and the chill was pressing.

Xu Min has rushed back and forth hundreds of miles of mountain roads in the past two days, his body is tired, and he hasn't slept all night today, and he is already sleepy. When Xu Chun and Sun Ce were whirling, he was already about to fall asleep, and suddenly felt a darkness in front of him, and he shivered, and when he opened his eyes, he found three people standing in front of him. A young man on the front was better, but the two samurai, one on the left and one on the right, were a little scary, and they suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Please come with me, I have a few words I want to ask you."

Xiang Lang was very polite and stretched out his hand to signal. Xu Min originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the two warriors, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he had to ask Xu Chun for help. Xu Chun didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he had to signal Xu Min to keep his mouth and don't say anything about leaking, but he put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look on his face.

"Shaft, in the past two days, you have been asked to go out to contact the families and raise funds, and where else have you been, tell me clearly. Otherwise, even if the general lets you go, I won't spare you. ”

Xu Min understood, got up and followed Xiang Lang to the side. Xu Chun looked at Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen coughed, got up and said, "General, is there anything you can't ask here, you have to take it aside?" ”

Sun Ce waved his hand, signaling Wang Zhen to be restless. "Wang Juncheng rest assured, I know in my heart that I will not embarrass Wang Juncheng. It's just a few words of questioning, and I won't be tortured, but there is a little wound that covers me. ”

Wang Zhen was also polite, but when he heard Sun Ce say this, he accepted it and sat back. Sun Ce asked again: "Gong Xu, how is Ling Lang usually and how often he goes out?" ”

Xu Chun couldn't figure out the situation, so he barely said a few perfunctory words, and pricked up his ears to listen to what Xiang Lang and Xu Min said. But Xiang Lang led Xu Min out of the middle courtyard, and he was too far away for him to hear anything. After a while, Xiang Lang walked back and whispered two words in Sun Ce's ear, Sun Ce nodded, raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu Chun, but before he could speak, he sighed first.

"Xu Gong ......"

Xu Chun's face changed suddenly, and he stood up. "General, what did that shaft do to hurt the heavens and reason?"

Sun Ce was embarrassed, and his face was full of sympathy. "There was a thief who confessed to Ling Lang, Ling Lang...... Also admitted. ”

There was an uproar in the hall, exclamations came one after another, and countless pairs of reddened eyes looked over with gloating eyes. After tossing all night, he finally brought the Xu family in, which was really happy and happy.
