Sun Ce's face was gloomy, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he didn't seem to believe that Xu Chun could do such a thing.

There was silence in the hall and downstairs, and almost everyone held their breath, waiting to see what Sun Ce would do with Xu Chun. This is the first family of Yangxian, not only has strength, but also has a wide range of contacts, many old in-laws, and many protégés and former officials, which affect the whole body. The Sun family was not treated well by the township, and they were angry, and no one was willing to deal with them in the future, Huiji and Wu County were originally one, and whether Sun Ce could gain a firm foothold in Huiji became a problem. Not to mention anything else, if you kill Xu Chun, those thieves in the mountains will not let Sun Ce go, and they will definitely avenge Xu Chun.

Sun Ce looked at Wang Zhen. "Wang Juncheng, like the Xu family, how should I deal with it according to the law?"

Wang Zhen arched his hand and said: "According to the law, the family property will be confiscated, the person in charge will be imprisoned, and the queen will be decided." ”

Xu Chun also breathed a sigh of relief, and his waist straightened a little. It seems that Sun Ce is still self-aware, he doesn't dare to kill him, he has to deal with it according to the law, and this fate is saved. After going to prison, this matter is not under Sun Ce's control. A few months later, Sun Ce was frustrated in suppressing the bandits, so he could only leave Yangxian and Wu County in disgrace. Although there were some accidents, the purpose of leading Sun Ce into the mountain was achieved, he was a meritorious person, Xu Gong could let him go with a reason, Yangxian Xu's family was still Yangxian's Xu family, at most he lost some money and food, and the land and house were still his.

Sun Ce thought for a moment and nodded. "Then let's do it, County Magistrate Ge, please put Xu Chun in prison, and the Xu family's family property will be used as military funds. If someone comes, immediately check the Xu family's property, and if it is enough, the donations of the other families will be put aside for the time being. Since the Xu family is the first family of Yangxian, I think the strength should not be weak. ”

Yang Xiu received the order and led people to find the account books of the Xu family and inspect the granary of the Xu family. He didn't have a good impression of the Xu family, and he didn't have any psychological burden at all when he did these things. When he heard Xu Chun boast of a lot of land, he was very unhappy, waiting to clean up this powerful man who annexed the land, and now he got his wish, and he was full of energy.

The people in the hall were also very happy. After the Xu family was confiscated, Sun Ce's purse was bulging, so he didn't want their donations, which was of course a good thing that he couldn't ask for. The Xu family suffered by themselves, they deserved to be unlucky, there was no reason to drag Yangxian's father and elders to break the fortune together. He must not have thought of this moment when he helped Sun Ceqiang donate just now, haha, what a retribution.

Sun Ce immediately apologized to everyone, it was originally a peaceful Shangyuan Festival, but it turned out to be like this, and everyone couldn't rest all night, and they were very upset in their hearts. He decided to invite everyone to eat the morning food, and when the morning food was over, the estimated statistical results came out, and then everyone would go back with peace of mind.

Everyone was cold and hungry, naturally no one objected, and they agreed, and some people praised Sun Ce's kindness and clear distinction between right and wrong. When Xu Chun heard this, he was so angry that he almost fainted. The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, these people were still the distinguished guests he invited yesterday, and now seeing that the Xu family is about to fall, he turned his face and didn't recognize people, turned around and went to praise Sun Ce, it was really a grass on the wall, falling with the wind, and there was no principle at all. Why don't I usually see the true face of these people, I actually treat them as close friends, and invite them to enjoy the lanterns and guess the riddles, I am really blind. If there is a chance to turn over in the future, these people must be made to pay the price.

At the Xu family, the cook of the Xu family, using the ingredients of the Xu family, prepared a sumptuous breakfast, and set up a table and a table in the courtyard. Some people expressed confusion about Xu Chun's approach, some people appreciated Sun Ce's restraint, and some people admitted that they had some misunderstandings about Sun Ce at the beginning, thinking that Sun Ce was a martial artist, but now it seems that this view is completely wrong.

Wang Zhen was also present, and when she heard these seemingly whispers, but in fact they intended to let Sun Ce hear them, no matter how fragrant the porridge was, it had no taste in her mouth, so she barely ate half a bowl and put it down. Although he got his wish, Xu Chun planted it, Sun Ce punished and confiscated the Xu family's property, and his strength was stronger, he didn't know what Xu Gong's attitude would be when he knew this result, and he was very worried in his heart.

The Xu family had already given up resistance and was very cooperative, leaving the treasury open and counted by Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu quickly came to a preliminary conclusion that the Xu family only had ten rice warehouses, 50,000 stones of rice, and more than 40 million yuan in the treasury, which could basically meet Sun Ce's short-term needs.

Sun Ce announced on the spot that all the money and food pledged by the previous families were cancelled.

Everyone was in the middle of it, and the voices of praise were endless.

Sun Ce then made another request. He originally wanted to do business with the Xu family, but the Xu family colluded with thieves to trap him and burned more than 40 million of his goods. Now there is a problem, he sent more than 30 million goods to the Xu family last night, and now there is no way to deal with it, and he wants to ask Yangxian Zhuxian to help digest these goods. As a sign of sincerity, he was willing to sell them at a reduced price, guaranteeing that those who received the goods would be profitable and would not suffer a loss.

Not to mention profitable, no one dares to object even if it is a loss. Sun Ce just exempted them from so many forced donations, and they still can't help Sun Ce share their worries? As soon as Sun Ce's words fell, someone responded loudly, you are three million, I am one million, and in a moment, the goods that Sun Ce sent to Xu's house were sold out, and someone was sent home to raise money immediately, handing over the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other. If the money is not there, the people will not leave.

Sun Ce was grateful, with a smile on his face, and bowed his hand again and again.

Sun Ce asked Yang Xiu and Xiang Lang to deal with these matters, and he led Wang Zhen to the hall, and before he could speak, he sighed first.

"Wang Juncheng, look at this matter, if it is like this, I don't even know how to explain it to Xu Fujun. By the way, Xu Fujun won't be surnamed Xu with Xu Chun, won't they be of the same clan, right? ”

Wang Zhen smiled and shook her head. "The general doesn't have to blame himself, this is Xu Chun's own doing, the general is benevolent and righteous, and Xu Fujun will never have an opinion on the general. They are all surnamed Xu, maybe there is something to do with the ancestors, but it definitely doesn't matter now. Xu Fujun is a native of Runan, and he is of the same clan as Xu Zijiang, but he is a little farther away. He knows a little about the grievances between the general and General Xu Zi, and often praises the general's benevolence and righteousness. ”

"That's right." Sun Ce was relieved and laughed. "Then I'm relieved. Please Wang Juncheng report to Xu Fujun, I will arrange for someone to go into the mountains tomorrow to investigate the situation, this time I will not uproot these bandits, and return to the township for peace, I will never give up. The soldiers are fierce and fierce, the bandits are cunning, and it is inevitable to ask Xu Fujun and Wang Juncheng for help in the future, and also ask Wang Juncheng to say a lot of good words in front of Xu Fujun. I prepared some small gifts, and asked the county not to refuse. ”

"Don't dare to be, willing to serve the general. Calculating the time, Xu Fujun should be back soon, and I will immediately set off to rush back to Wu County to convey the general's good intentions to Xu Fujun. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The sun came out, the golden light was brilliant, the warm sun shone all over the earth, and Yangxian City was harmonious.
