Chapter 552 is chilling, it's creepy!
A lot of bad things were done by Sun Quan;
But it was what he had to do in the situation of Dongwu, where the big clans were intertwined and powerful;
But the specific implementer is not Sun Quan, it is the Zhu family, and even several "middle-rated" families attached to the Zhu family...
Wu Zhi's four surnames, Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang, since Zhu Ran became Sun Quan's companion, the Zhu family has closely linked the lives of the whole clan with Sun Quan, and is Sun Quan's most reliable minions!
Undoubtedly, this has also caused... Now, from Zhu Ji's mouth, the truth of everything is clear.
"Ahh Ahh
At this moment, because of Zhu Ji's confession, the patriarchs of the five families of Jiangdong's subordinate families "Du", "Lin", "Yan", "Xu", and "Wang" were arrested... Then under the sticks, he was beaten all over his body.
Finally, they confessed that they were Tai Shici who was poisoned in Yangzhou on the order of Sun Quan, Zhou Gongjin who was poisoned in Baqiu, and Huang Gai who was poisoned in Wu County...
In fact, Huang Gai didn't have to die, precisely because he found out some truths about "Zhou Yu's death", and went to Wu County to investigate and visit, and asked these families...
Therefore, these families reported to Sun Quan, and they were instructed by Sun Quan, along with the hero who made great contributions to the "bitter meat plan" during the Battle of Chibi.
The whole trial here is conclusive, and the people are stolen...
It seems that the truth of the deaths of Zhou Yu, Tai Shici, and Huang Gai jumps in front of me... It makes some people's hearts ache, but it also makes people such as Gu Yong, the patriarch of the Gu family, Zhang Wen, the patriarch of the Zhang family, Yu Tuo, the patriarch of the Yu family, Wei Lang, the patriarch of the Wei family, Kong Yu, the patriarch of the Kong family, and Xie Yiwu, the patriarch of the Xie family, hang their heads down, and they can't wait to find a place to hide in.
They didn't do it directly... But Sun Quan did it because of them!
This is enough to make them extremely frightened and worried...
I'm afraid that this matter will eventually implicate them.
Fortunately, they were just plotting with Sun Quan, and they were not stained with such blood.
They are all "old fritters", how can they not know the truth of protecting themselves and prosthetizing others? Don't know? They won't do this kind of thing that has hidden dangers and endless troubles.
However, it's like... In this office, Sun Shao's trial did not deliberately lead the crime to them.
Finally...
Under the stick, in the wailing, Zhu Ji became more and more exhausted, he held the paperwork and said in a reluctant voice, "They are all recruited... Recruited..."
Sun Shao took the paperwork, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Xun in the distance, then rolled up the paperwork, and said slowly: "Cruelty to Zhongliang, murder of brother, this crime should be punished... So? There are several clans of Sun Quan's minions who participated in this matter. β
"There are five tribes..."
Zhu Ji opened his mouth tremblingly, and he looked around apologetically for the end, the patriarch of the five families of "Du", "Lin", "Yan", "Xu", and "Wang" who were almost under the punishment of sticks, and lost half their lives!
How close were they?
β¦ Now... Still...
It was Sun Shao, he looked at Zhu Ji with interest, first "chirp" his mouth, as if he had calculated carefully, and finally said in a cold tone: "Five clans? Wrong... It seems that there is one less family! β
Zhu Ji thought hard about it, and said with a crying voice: "It's gone, right? Only these five tribes participated in that... Those evil things..."
Sun Shao looked at Zhu Ji with a smile, "Think again..."
Zhu Ji looked at Sun Shao's smile in shock, and then turned back sharply to look at Zhou Xun: "Could it be... Could it be that my Zhu family is also counted? Can... But the governor of Zhou Xun promised me... Said as long as I recruited, then... That's..."
"Presumptuous..."
Without waiting for Zhu Ji to finish speaking, Zhou Xun scolded loudly: "What did the governor of Pontus promise you? How could the Governor of Pontus promise anything to a clan like you, who had lost their conscience and killed their father? β
Zhou Xun's words blurted out, and Sun Shao added softly: "In this way, Sun Quan's minions, Du, Lin, Yan, Xu, Wang... And this Zhu family, the six clans, the six clans are right! β
Zhu Ji was shocked and exclaimed: "Zhou Xun, it turns out that you are such a vicious person!" You used me to confess those evil things in the past, you used me to harm these big clans, and you also harmed General Sun! You... You..."
Before Zhu Ji finished speaking, Zhou Xun had already stepped forward and pinched his face to stop him from continuing.
"yes, I'm a vicious person? But in the past, when your Zhu family was ordered by Sun Quan's dog thief to poison my father's food, how could you not be vicious? The people behind you, and these minions? Have you ever thought of my father's great achievements in Chibi, but have you ever thought of who saved Jiangdong? Did you ever think that he was a hero of Koto? β
"But you... But you promised me..."Zhu Ji was still muttering bitterly.
Zhou Xun took a step closer to him, pressed one hand on his shoulder, and said in a subtle voice: "Say a few words, if so, I will at least keep your wife and children, and it can be regarded as my kindness to you." Hehe... The evil clan is ambushed, is it... Isn't justice supposed to be like this? β
After that, Zhou Xun let go...
Zhu Ji trembled, and his whole body was like a limp ball, and he sat on the ground as a whole.
He looked at Zhou Xun with a confused look, as if he was asking again-
"Zhou Xun... You... Are you going to put me to death?'
Actually, Zhu Ji was wrong...
Zhou Xun not only wanted to kill him, but he also wanted to kill the culprit Sun Quan's dog thief!
At this time, there were already officials walking in, Sun Shao waved his hand, and the officials had already dragged away the paralyzed Zhu Ji, and also took the patriarchs of the five big clans away...
Some of the civil and military forces around him, such as Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Lu Xun, Sun Jiao, and Su Fei, were relieved for a while.
But there was also Lu Su who couldn't help shaking his head...
Sun Shao attached himself to Zhou Xun's ear and asked, "Do you want to directly order the killing?" β
Sun Shao's words meant to ask in public...
Zhou Xun sneered: "Let them die in prison!" Crime boss... Not them! β
"And now?" Sun Shao then asked...
Zhou Xun shouted to the people in this office: "The human and material evidence is there, Sun Quan's crime is unforgivable!" β
He endured this voice for a long time.
However, it was Sun Shao who endured it for a longer time...
He suddenly got up and commanded loudly: "All the princes will follow me to take Sun Quanβ"
β¦
β¦
Sun Quan was pacing on crutches in the garden in a gloomy way, and his legs were wounded by arrows, but fortunately they were not critical.
As the former owner of this place, since he was confined in this palace, he has been like a canary in a cage, with ordinary food and a place to shelter from the wind and rain, but he has lost his freedom forever.
"Ugh..."
Sun Quan raised his head and looked at the towering palace gate, he was too eager to go out.
Perhaps, only when a person completely loses his freedom, can others feel how precious freedom is?
It's money, beauty, and everything that can't be compared.
"Step... Tread..."
As if his heart was yearning, Sun Quan couldn't help but walk towards the gate of the palace.
It's just that... The soldiers guarding here seemed to be extremely cautious, and when they saw Sun Quan approaching, one of them quickly bent his bow and shot an arrow at Sun Quan's feet.
The arrow plunged into the ground at Sun Quan's feet, the arrow feathers trembled, and Sun Quan exclaimed, "You..."
But in response to him, the guard's expression was as cold as water, and he subconsciously retreated again and again, and sat down on the ground.
It seemed that he had withdrawn from the position of "alert", and the guards put away their bows and arrows, and the leader of the first group said loudly to Sun Quan: "The fourth prince has an order, and you are not allowed to take half a step out of this palace!" Please don't embarrass us? Otherwise, the next arrow will not reach your feet! β
Such indifferent words made Sun Quan's heart "chuckle", he sighed "sigh", and then fled in shame and panic.
Sun Quan was not allowed to leave this palace.
But others, such as Sun Quan's family, were allowed to visit him, and when Sun Quan returned to the house, he saw the foot trainer.
She was wearing a thorn hairpin plain skirt, and she beat herself... After she was accepted as a concubine by Sun Quan, she had never dressed so simply.
For example, in today's situation, it is the family and clan of the Sun family... also deliberately restrained a lot, did not dare to wear gold and silver, and did not dare to swagger through the market.
However, when the step trainer saw Sun Quan, he hurriedly served a bowl of soup cakes and a plate of dried meat, and she smiled and said, "Husband, it's time to eat..."
It can be said that Sun Quan has eaten too many gluttonous feasts and tasted too many delicious dishes, but it seems that in this situation... The step trainer's sentence "Husband, it's time to eat", as well as the dish-fringed dishes in her hand, are more like the warmth and warmth he has never experienced...
Sun Quan looked at the soup cake on the plate, raised his hand and stroked the face of the step trainer lovingly, and said apologetically: "It's only been a few days, why have you lost so much weight?" Did Shiro Kan treat you badly? And this soup cake... Now I can only let you eat this... These..."
Sun Quan's words were full of self-reproach.
The foot trainer smiled and said, "I love to eat soup cakes the most, in the past, I fled Jiangdong with my mother and met my husband, at that time... It was my husband who gave me soup cakes... My husband also asked about my house, and learned that I was a descendant of the seventy-two sages of Confucius, so he was very polite to me and my mother..."
Hearing this, Sun Quan shook his head, "At that time... Where do I get the benefits? I am the shy flower of the closed moon who saw you born, and the country and the city are captivated... That's why I said that, and sure enough... In the end, I got my wish and took you as a concubine... But I never thought that I Sun Quan has so many concubines, but you are the only one left when disaster comes... Still with me. β
As he spoke, Sun Quan hugged the foot trainer, and the foot trainer also snuggled in Sun Quan's arms like a bird, and said with a smile, "I'll just say, is the husband still Sun Wu's descendant?" How can you be so respectful to the descendants of my Confucian Sect, it turns out... That's it..."
Speaking of this, the step trainer picked up the soup cake and butcher shop again, "Today, the prince of Yunqi specially sent a lot of dried meat to his mother, and stewed a big tonic soup, the soup is so fragrant, my mother can't eat so much... I'll bring some to my husband. β
Sun Quan hurriedly asked, "Is Guotai okay?" Big Tiger and Little Tiger are okay? What about Shang Xiang? What about her? Didn't do anything stupid, did you? β
"It's all good... It's all good..."
The foot trainer did not tell how dangerous Sun Quan's situation was under the conclusive "gossip" in the market these days, using all their relationships and trying all kinds of ways to save Sun Quan...
The step trainer didn't want Sun Quan to worry, she pursed her lips and muttered, "It's... It's just that everyone is thinking about you... Thinking of you..."
"It's all good... That's fine. As Sun Quan spoke, he picked up the bowl and tasted the soup.
The step trainer suppressed the pain and worry in his heart, made an innocent appearance, and asked, "Husband, is it delicious?" β
"It's delicious, it's delicious... You can also bring in soup cakes and dried meat, it seems... Although I was defeated, that Guan Jia Shiro was not thin on me, the 'commander of the defeated army'! β
The foot trainer held Sun Quan's hand and said sincerely, "If Fujun likes to eat, the concubine will send it every day..."
That's it.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and Sun Quan and the foot trainer both changed their faces.
Sun Shao, Zhou Xun, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, and Lu Xun had already broken in with armor soldiers.
Sun Quan was so frightened that the bowl in his hand fell to the ground, and the soup cakes and dried meat were spilled all over the place...
But after all, he was the lord of Eastern Wu, he quickly restrained the tension in his heart, looked directly at everyone, and asked, "What do you mean by your lords coming here?" β
Sun Shao laughed fiercely, "What do you mean?" Take! β
Sun Quan shouted in panic, "In the past, when the city was dedicated, Guan Sigongzi promised me, maybe to those civil and military generals who surrendered, he... He will spare the lonely, how can you... How can you disobey his word? β
Where does the first soldier care what Sun Quan says, he has already stepped forward and locked Sun Quan firmly...
In a hurry, the foot trainer went to pull away the hand of the armored soldier, and shouted loudly: "Yes, the prince of Yunqi said such a thing, the prince of Yunqi will bypass my husband, and you are like this now... This is to trap your sons in injustice! β
Sun Shao grabbed the hand of the foot trainer and shook her fiercely, throwing her to the ground, "Are the unrighteous people waiting for me?" What does it have to do with the son of Yunqi? β
"What are you doing? Take... took Sun Quan, along with all his books, bamboo slips, and letters. β
As he spoke, the soldiers rushed into the inner room with impunity...
The foot trainer cried bitterly and shouted, "No... You can't do that... My daughter and my husband are the concubines of Yunqi Gongzi... You can't do that..."
When Sun Quan was dragged away, he was shouting, "Madam... Madam, go find Xiaohu... Let her beg Guan Lin! Let her go..."
With Sun Quan's words, the step trainer's whole body was paralyzed, and she knelt on the ground.
She... She's already looked for Xiaohu, but... Can...
Watching Sun Quan being escorted away, getting farther and farther away from her... In the eyes of the foot trainer, the tears that were not fighting couldn't help but burst into his eyes, and tears spilled on his clothes-
β¦
β¦
Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman.
Jagged wattles, left and right flowing. My Fair Lady, I covet it.
Guan Lin was eating, and what he was eating happened to be the Jiangdong specialty dish mentioned in "Guan Ju". Blanch the stems of the water chestnut and soak it in vinegar, the taste is sweet and sour, and it is extremely fatty!
Even Guan Lin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Jagged vegetables, ask for diligence and sleep." Thinking about it, praising each other. β
That's when ...
Sun Shangxiang hurriedly broke in from outside the door, originally blocked by a soldier, but Guan Lin heard his voice and waved his hand to let her in.
Of course, even at the behest of Guan Lin, there were female soldiers who checked Sun Shangxiang up and down to make sure that she was not carrying weapons.
When Sun Shangxiang entered it, she frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Childe is still in the mood to eat wattle vegetables?" β
"What? Do you want to eat it too? "Guan Lin eats by himself, sour and crisp...
Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but write straight to his meaning, "I heard that Sun Shao and Zhou Xun took my second brother away, I asked around and learned... This is not what the Cloud Flag Boy meant, what are they going to do? β
Guan Lin picked up a handful of wattle vegetables with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly, while saying lightly, "Zhou Xun is the governor of Jiangdong during the Eastern Wu period, and he is also the candidate for the governor of Zuo Du appointed by me now, Sun Shao is your eldest brother, the son of the little overlord Sun Bofu, and the commander of Hongyan?" If they want to arrest people, there will always be a reason to arrest them, so why bother me with the facts? β
"So...," Sun Shangxiang was stunned, "You instructed them to arrest my second brother... But you promised me and the big tiger and the little tiger to spare my second brother... You can't go back on your word like that..."
Facing Sun Shangxiang's questioning, Guan Lin's face was serious, "I didn't know at the beginning, your eldest brother Sun Bofu, Zhou Gongjin, Tai Shici, Huang Gai... Their deaths were all caused by Sun Quan! Your niece and daughter have come to me to intercede before, and my answer is the same, it's not that I want to kill Sun Quan, but Jiangdong's Wenchen military generals, those tens of thousands of soldiers, after they learned the truth, they couldn't spare Sun Quan! β
"Isn't it okay to arrest and detain them?" Sun Shangxiang's tears swirled in his eyes, "Wouldn't it be okay to imprison my second brother and give him a decent life, and also give the Jiangdong Sun family a minimum of decency?" β
"Decent?"
Sun Shangxiang's words seemed to touch a certain nerve in Guan Lin's heart, he slowly got up, he stood proudly in front of Sun Shangxiang, "Speaking of decency? Mrs. Sun... Hehe, when you were in Ganlu Temple, Zhu Ran, who left his childhood sweetheart, married my uncle, how could you give him half a centrique? β
"Why didn't I give him decency?"
"Yes, most of the maids you brought have entered the mansions of various important ministers in Shuzhong, and the Dongwu Liberation Camp has collected hundreds of thousands of information about Shuzhong and my uncle over the years? These, is what you call decency? You turned your back on your childhood sweetheart, but secretly monitored my uncle for Soochow, waiting for an opportunity to seek Jingzhou for Jiangdong? Is this called decency? Or is it that after my uncle married you, he faced the hundreds of sword-wielding maids every night, and was afraid that Mrs. Sun would be born under her elbows, is this the dignity you gave my uncle? β
This...
Guan Lin's words came out one by one, making Sun Shangxiang suddenly speechless.
Sun Shangxiang squatted down, she hugged her arms, buried her head deeply, she cried...
is obviously a bow-waisted Ji and a sword fairy, but in front of such a young man, he shows his weakest side.
It seems that the sense of powerlessness to save the second brother is also related to Lin's denial of her life's efforts... It made her cry and cry.
"Step, step..."
Guan Lin walked to her side and listened to her cry for a while before saying, "I heard Sun Jiao say, Sun Jiajun has a slogan, right?" Sun Jiaerlang, swear not to surrender, rather die on the battlefield than die in the hotbed! This is what your father, General Sun Wentai, left behind, isn't it? β
Speaking of this, Sun Shangxiang's tears seemed to stop, she raised her head to look at Guan Lin, looking at this "fatal Yama" who was not fierce...
Guan Lin's words continued, "If I were you, I would rather let my second brother die than let him enjoy in a hotbed and spend the rest of his life in waste and suffering!" β
Speaking of which, Guan Lin walked out, farther and farther...
Sun Shangxiang looked at him, and there was a mood and mood that he didn't know whether to be "shuddering", "creepy" and "sweaty".
β¦
β¦
In the gloomy room, Guan Lin and Lu Xun sat and stood together, and Guan Lin sat on the seat, as if he was muttering something.
Lu Xun persuaded: "Eliminate the evil, don't tolerate it... What's more, now many of Sun Quan's old subordinates are looking forward to killing him... The fact that the prince of Yunqi can be exempted from punishing his nine clans is already extraordinarily generous. β
Guan Lin was silent, he was still pondering, as if he was weighing the matter of killing Sun Quan... The pros and cons that will cause!
Naturally, it is beneficial for these people who do not share Sun Quan to completely release and stretch the anger accumulated in their hearts.
It was to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and use Sun Quan's head to deter the clans, warning them that their crimes were just not liquidated, not nothing... Let them clamp their tails!
The downside is...
There are also many people, Lu Su, Sun Shangxiang, Foot Trainer, Jiang Qin, He Qi, Lu Fan, Kan Ze, etc... These people didn't want Sun Quan to die.
And... Some people, they don't want Sun Quan to die.
In the final analysis, Jiangdong was not yet civilized, and the economy, culture, and production were all developed rapidly in the Sun Quan era. Has Soochow been fighting as a trapped beast all these years, at least... The people here live and work in peace and contentment... From this level, the people here are grateful to Sun Quan.
So...
It is easy to kill, but it is difficult to prevent turmoil in Jiangdong.
"Actually..."Lu Xun seemed to see Guan Lin's concern, he opened his mouth and said: "Actually, this matter doesn't need to be done by Yunqi Gongzi at all, just let Zhou Xun, Sun Shao, Huang Shan, and Tai Shi enjoy them to do it, they and Sun Quan have a grudge against their father, that is, kill... That is the fulfillment of filial piety, and there will be no kind of criticism, no matter how bad it is... Yunqi can punish and admonish a big one after the fact, so as to calm the suspicion of the people... In this way, it can be said that it is the best of both worlds. β
Lu Xun didn't want Sun Quan to live.
At the beginning, the Lu family... Almost at the behest of Sun Quan, the whole clan was destroyed...
In this matter, it is impossible for Lu Xun to use his "humility and gentleness" to forgive Sun Quan.
It's just, no matter what Lu Xun says...
Guan Lin still didn't answer, still as if he was meditating, groaning, thinking...
"Childe... You..."
Lu Xun couldn't help but ask.
At this time, Guan Lin Fang opened his eyes, and he said slowly, "I'm thinking, whether Sun Quan dies or not, there will always be some people who are dissatisfied, so... I thought, if there is a way to make all the people feel that Sun Quan will die... What would that look like? β
Yes...
Let all the people feel that Sun Quan will die!
Lu Xun felt that Guan Lin's idea was a bit taken for granted...
It's still a clichΓ©, Sun Quan may have been fighting as a trapped beast, but he hasn't been sorry for the people, as evidenced by Jiangdong's wealth and tranquility over the years...
It is not easy to make the people hate him with the same hatred!
"It's actually quite simple... The people's thoughts will be guided by public opinion..."Guan Lin continued, "Only now, I just lack an article, an article that can be comparable to the article "Asking for Thieves" compiled by Chen Lin during the battle of Guandu in the past..."
Speaking of this, Guan Lin suddenly thought of something.
He opened his mouth in surprise: "Bo Yan, I have thought of a way to make Sun Quan's death more painful, and it can also make Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Sun Shao, and Zhou Xun more relieved, and even the entire Jiangdong is looking forward to Sun Quan's slaughter!" β
Yes...
Lu Xun hurriedly asked, "What is it?" β
Inexplicably, because Guan Lin's words were too gloomy, he Lu Xun actually had a feeling of sweating.
