"Ladies and gentlemen! If I die! It's your turn next! Zhou Shu was obviously very desperate, but his strong desire to survive made him still plead.

As the most powerful and powerful person in the local faction, he used to speak in a bullish manner. But now, the only hope for life is to whisper to these colleagues for help.

It's just that his plea didn't get anything, and the locals are united in their will and are determined to abandon you. Especially Qian Zhou, he said with a rare sigh.

"I have been watching the sky at night for a long time, and I saw that there is evil qi in the northeast, and your Zhou family has this catastrophe. In the past, I also advised you to be cautious in your words and deeds, but you don't want to listen to them. ”

"Now I am suffering from this calamity, but it is a few days, and I cannot be saved."

You've admonished fart! Usually, you bastard asks my Zhou family for the most money. When it comes to repairing the canon and repairing the book, it is all supported by our Zhou family, but now we don't admit it!

Zhou Shu couldn't wait to fight with this old man who opened his eyes and said nonsense, but it was too late.

"Traitor Zhou Shu! Take it for me! ”

More than 100 soldiers of the Northern Army directly broke through the obstruction of the servants and rushed into the inner house. As soon as he saw Zhou Shu, he didn't say anything about it, and the torture instrument immediately greeted him.

Shu has ruled Shu since Zhuge ruled Shu, and after the law was amended, there was basically no favoritism. No matter what official position you have, as long as you commit a crime and get caught immediately, it's not easy to say anything.

Not only that, Zhuge Liang also forbade the use of money to atone for sins. No matter how rich you are, you have to go to prison and enjoy life.

Zhou Shu took a look and saw all the people from Jingzhou who came to arrest him. Among them, there are several fresh faces, all of whom have only been in Shu for a short time.

Apparently Jingzhou faction...... Or that the Prime Minister's Mansion has regained its grip on the rhythm, and the localists are already about to be waved.

"Hahahaha...... Do you think Ma Jian will let you go after I die? ”

Zhou Shu was desperate and let the Northern Army arrest him, but before leaving, he still turned his head and glanced at his colleagues, with a hideous expression.

"It's impossible for Ma Jian to let you go! When everything is settled, you'll all have to be killed by him! ”

"Today, I Zhou Shu is unlucky, so I took the first step. But I'll be waiting for you at Taishan Mansion, or you'll all come to accompany me soon!! ”

Before he finished speaking, he had already been dragged away by the soldiers of the Northern Army.

At the same time, the Zhou Mansion in Chengdu was also seized by the soldiers and horses of the first battalion of the Northern Army. All the men, women, and children were seized inside, and tens of thousands of money and property were confiscated.

It can only be said that it is worthy of the wealthy Zhou family in Shuzhong, and this wave has indeed gained a lot.

Zhou Shu's family was seized, and all his descendants were to be questioned and beheaded. At this point, the localists have basically lost everything, and if they continue, they will all have to be swept away.

The strong barriers in Shu have been loosened.

"Let's talk about it, what should I do? If this continues, in a few months, all of us will have our heads cut off! Du Wei's face was extremely ugly, and he looked at the colleagues around him who were full of fear in their eyes, and his heart was also very bottomless.

Their demonstrations to the imperial court were completely ineffective. Not only did the Prime Minister's Office not feel the pressure, but it also exposed the fact that their native faction was already extremely weak.

Again, don't expose your strength at will, because this will let everyone see that you don't have strength at all.

The localists have been weak for so many years, and they are no longer as strong as Liu Bei was when he entered Shu.

In fact, the nativist faction has long been divided, and there has always been internal discord. For example, Qin Mi, Deng Zhi, and Li Hui are the first batch of local clans with the same heart as Shu Han. But because the place still has prestige, Zhuge Liang has never been able to make up his mind to deal with them.

If Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition failed, he really didn't dare to touch him. If it weren't for Ma Tan's brainlessness and recklessness, no one would have expected that the localists would have been so weak that they were discordant internally.

"Why don't we go back to Sanba and fight with their Jingzhou faction?" Du Qiong gritted his teeth and suggested to Du Wei.

"Now it's a death horizontal, it's better to fight! Even if we order not to move our hometown clan, but only our family has more than 10,000 private soldiers. ”

"And if that fails, where do we go?" Du Wei was silent for a moment, looked at Du Qiong and said expressionlessly.

"Go to Cao Wei? On the way, we have to pass through Hanzhong, which has the strongest military strength in the imperial court, can we get by? ”

"To Soochow? Can the Yangtze River Pass in the middle of the way be passable? Even if we can get by, as soon as we get out of Yiling, it will be the base camp of the Jingzhou faction, and we won't survive Jiangling at all! ”

Du Wei's words can be regarded as silencing everyone, and at this point, it is useless for them to break the net. Except for causing some trouble to Shu Han, it is of no use at all.

Seeing that all his colleagues, including Qian Zhou, were pretending to be dead, Du Wei could only sigh.

"That's it, I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Zhuge Liang for a showdown. At present, I am afraid that the only one who can make the Jingzhou faction not kill us and stop Ma Yan, a madman, is Zhuge Liang. ”

"If he doesn't want to, we'll have to break the net."

Then Du Wei, with the last hope, came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Zhuge Liang.

When he begged the little official to go in and report, Du Wei waited desolate in the cold wind. At this moment, he suddenly recalled the scene when Zhuge Liang personally took a car to pick him up in order to appease the local faction.

At that time, he was still quite beautiful, and he still had a bit of face and prestige. And now, he can only wait miserably outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, begging Zhuge Liang to let them go.

The world is changing, who can be more noble than whom?

But in the end, Du Wei still got the news that Zhuge Liang was willing to meet him.

Entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, Du Wei finally met Zhuge Liang.

However, it is not a coincidence, and I don't know that today's affairs are a bit busy, Zhuge Liang has been dealing with government affairs. And Du Wei didn't dare to disturb at the moment, and stood aside with low eyebrows and waiting for Zhuge Liang.

There's no way, the situation is stronger than people, even if people don't want to see you, what can you do?

Zhuge Liang handled government affairs for nearly two hours in a row, and Du Wei also waited for two hours. In the end, when Du Wei's legs were numb, Zhuge Liang looked up as if he finally remembered.

"It turned out to be Kokusuke! Shu Liang is so busy that I almost forgot your arrival, please take a seat! Zhuge Liang showed a sudden look and immediately ordered Du Wei to be given a seat.

"Prime Minister! Today, Wei is here to ask the prime minister for help! Du Wei arched his hand bitterly, and he didn't dare to sit down, and saluted again and again.

"What do you mean by this? This is Chengdu, who dares to disadvantage my Han officials? Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows, revealing a look of surprise.

"Prime Minister! We don't dare to have two hearts, and we are willing to sacrifice our family property as the capital of the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition! Please also ask the prime minister to let the Du family go for the sake of our and other Han courtiers! Du Wei couldn't hold it anymore, and went straight to the showdown, his tone was almost pleading.

Seeing that Du Wei couldn't do it so soon, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes. It seems that Ma Tan is too frightened by them, and the native clan has reached the point of frightening the bow bird.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang gradually took a look, and his face gradually became a little helpless.

"Kunisuke, why do you think you're doing this?"
