At dawn the next day, large households came to Taishou Mansion one after another.

Shangyang is not better than Sanyang, Sanyang because of its topography, so the gathering of rich businessmen, and Shangyang is Shangyang County, the big households that take root here, with many official eunuchs.

And the number is much more than that of Sanyang County.

Several merchants came early in the morning, compared to those eunuchs, although these wealthy businessmen like to speculate, but they are also the most knowledgeable about the form, and they will not hesitate when they should pretend to be grandsons of those eunuchs on weekdays.

Now that the official army has been defeated, and Shangyang County is dominated by the Unified Sect, they naturally don't want to conflict with Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan invited, whether he wanted it or not, on the surface, he didn't dare to lose Lu Xuan's face.

The wealthy businessmen who survive in Shangyang County know how to back down better than the rich businessmen in Sanyang County.

"Elder Cui, are you here too?" When it was almost noon, Cui Yuan got out of the carriage with the support of Hu Cong, and several heads of the family saw Cui Yuan and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Well, what about the Governor Lu?" Cui Yuan got out of the carriage and looked around, they were all big families in Shangyang County, as the initiator of this banquet, Lu Xuan, including several important people under him, was nowhere to be seen, which made Cui Yuan a little dissatisfied.

What kind of hospitality is this?

"I don't know, I didn't see anyone when I came over, just a few attendants who welcomed guests." A middle-aged man who took Cui Yuan complained and said: "I heard that this Lu Xuan is also a character, why don't you understand any etiquette?" I'll just wait, Elder Cui, you come in person, so even if Lu Xuan doesn't come out to greet him in person, he should send a decent person to greet him, this thing is ......"

"Hey, everyone is a character, but it's just a country man." Another middle-aged man glanced cautiously at the guard guarding the door in the distance and chuckled.

"Yes, the villager is the villager, I thought there would be something new today, but now it seems that I am looking forward to it in vain."

"It's better to be careful, everybody." Cui Yuan took the crutches handed by Hu Cong and said, "Guests are as they please." ”

Cui Yuan said so, and the others couldn't say anything, and the stars hugged Cui Yuan like the moon and entered the banquet hall.

Lu Xuan didn't arrange seats, but all the people present were acquaintances, and they quickly arranged their seats according to their respective statuses and sat down separately.

"The Governor has arrived!" After a while, Lu Xuan took Yang Chong out of the inner hall.

"You are polite, in Xia Lu Xuan, this time should be regarded as an official meeting with you, I am from a humble background, I don't know how to be polite, where I am rude, I look at Haihan!" Lu Xuan hugged his fists at everyone and sat down with a smile.

"The governor is serious, there is a way to respect and humility regardless of origin, the commander has today's achievements in the year of the weak crown, looking at the past and present, how many people can have?" The one who spoke was the middle-aged man who had told Cui Yuan that Lu Xuan was a village man, and he was enthusiastic at the moment, how could he be a little mocking.

"Yes, Commander Lu has repeatedly won more with less, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a famous general in the world, but now he looks at it, and he is not as reckless as an ordinary general, and he has a bit of morale, if he is willing to devote himself to studying, it may not take long, and he is a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs!"

"Haha, this is really serious, Lu has come to this day, and he can't help himself, everyone drink tea!" Lu Xuan glanced at a few empty positions and said with a smile: "Before anyone arrived, I asked you to wait for a while." ”

"This ......" Everyone present looked at each other silently when they heard this, but did not speak.

Now it is not far from the time set by Lu Xuan, if you don't come at this time, most likely you won't come.

However, everyone didn't open their mouths to remind them, and they only said compliments, but in their hearts, they wished that Lu Xuan would make a joke, and they were also happy to see how Lu Xuan would end up when he didn't come to the stage.

Time passed little by little, Lu Xuan drank tea unhurriedly, the tea time passed, and the time set by Lu Xuan had also arrived.

"It seems...... It's not coming! Lu Xuan shook his head regretfully.

"Commander Lu, forgive me, maybe something is delayed, maybe it's here if you wait." One of the housekeepers laughed.

"Don't wait, Yang Chong!" Lu Xuan shook his head and smiled.

"The last general!" Yang Chong strode from outside the hall and saluted Lu Xuan with a fist.

"Go and invite someone, you didn't come to the scene, remember clearly, don't make a mistake!" Lu Xuan pointed to those empty seats, looked at Yang Chong and smiled.

"Yes!" Yang Chong said yes and turned to leave.

Soon, there was a dense sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, which was clearly the posture of soldiers and horses.

The faces of everyone present couldn't help but change.

Many people subconsciously got up and wanted to leave the table, but at some point outside the door, a fierce group of rebels blocked their way.

"Don't worry, today's dish will make you happy!" Lu Xuan ordered the empty teacup and turned his head to look at the maidservant beside him.

The maidservant hurriedly served tea to Lu Xuan.

"Governor, I don't know what this means?" Cui Yuan thought of what Lu Xuan had done after breaking the city, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart, and he looked at Lu Xuan and asked.

"It's nothing, maybe there is an opposition to the party in the imperial court here, clear it!" After Lu Xuan waited for the tea to be filled, he picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "This tea is good, the old gentleman drinks more." ”

The court is against the party?

How do you connect these two words?

Everyone present was speechless, but no one was in the mood to correct this statement now, looking at Lu Xuan who was smiling on the main seat, everyone's hearts were a little heavy.

I thought that this time, as before, was a discussion on the distribution of interests, they had already given Lu Xuan a horse, and the next thing was how Lu Xuan chose, whether Lu Xuan had a tough attitude or was soft, there was a way to deal with it.

But Lu Xuan didn't seem to be ready to follow the previous path.

It's not that I didn't think about this possibility, but the attitude of the person who sent the invitation last night was so good, so good that it was almost humble, making everyone think that Lu Xuan was going to soften!

Time passed bit by bit, and there was a faint sound of fighting in the city, which made the faces of the heads of the families here even more ugly.

Cui Yuan frowned and looked at Lu Xuan, and suddenly said, "Commander Lu is very calculating, and he summoned us here just to facilitate his work, right?" ”

There are many official eunuchs in Shangyang County, there are a lot of servants in the family, and they are really united, Lu Xuan moves like this, everyone is cold, and there must be a vicious battle.

Now most of the gentry have been invited here by Lu Xuan, they are not there, and there is no one in charge at home, even if there is chaos in the city, taking care of them here, they will also throw a rat bogey, so that Lu Xuan can easily cut off some of the power of the gentry in the city.

When these forces are dealt with, even if the rest of the people are grouped, Lu Xuan will have the ability to break them individually.

"Understand people, what do you call the old gentleman?" Lu Xuan put down the teacup and looked at Cui Yuandao with some surprise.

"Old man, Cui Yuan." Cui Yuan took a deep breath and said.

"Cui, I thought the old gentleman wouldn't come." Lu Xuan nodded, a little regretful.

Cui Yuan narrowed his eyes, looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Commander Lu is not like an ordinary reckless man, and the truth that is too rigid and easy to break should be understood." ”

"Understood, understood." Lu Xuan nodded and said: "But those who have rebelled know that there is no tomorrow in this business, since there is no tomorrow, why should you compromise?" ”

Lu Xuan's words silenced everyone present.

Anyone who has rebelled knows it, but if he doesn't rebel, he knows it, okay?

However, this idea is very clear, Lao Tzu didn't think about tomorrow, so here in Lao Tzu, you have to follow Lao Tzu's rules.

Even though Cui Yuan was full of wealth, he couldn't refute Lu Xuan's unreasonable logic for a while in the face of Lu Xuan's unreasonable logic.

The sound of fighting in the city gradually decreased, and it was not until it was almost dusk that Yang Chong led people to escort a large number of people back.

"Commander, there are seventeen in total, of which the Bai family has been wiped out, and the remaining sixteen are here, waiting for the commander to fall!" Yang Chong clenched his fists and saluted.

"Kill them all!" Lu Xuan didn't look at it much, and waved his hand.

"Yes!" A touch of anger flashed on Yang Chong's face, and with a wave of his hand, those captured family members of the big clan were pressed in rows in the courtyard of the Taishou Mansion, and a volunteer soldier raised his blade.

"Governor Lu, we know that we are wrong, please ask Commander Lu to be gracious!"

Off the field, a group of big families wailed and begged for mercy, and Lu Xuan just drank his tea quietly.

"Slash!"

Yang Chong gave an order, a large number of heads fell to the ground, the wailing stopped abruptly, and above the lobby, everyone's faces turned pale.

It's all over the place!

This is a term that is too foreign to those of them who have long grasped the privileges of the place.

I have only heard that a large household is full of people, when have you ever heard that a large household is full of people?

I saw it today, and as soon as it was destroyed, it was sixteen, no, it was seventeen, and the Bai family was destroyed before they even came.

Even if they knew that this was Lu Xuan's dismount for them, the faces of the celebrities present were still as pale as dirt and their bodies were like chaff sieves.

"Okay, the face-saving solution is solved, and let's talk about business." Lu Xuan waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to clean up the corpse, while he looked at everyone and said with a smile: "This time, it is the first time that my Guiyi Sect has occupied Shangyang County, and I originally came with good intentions, but just a few days ago, our Guiyi Sect brothers had just entered the city, and thirty-four of them were poisoned in one night!" ”

Speaking of this, the smile on Lu Xuan's face gradually faded: "My brothers followed me to birth and death, this battle was finally won, and I could live a good life for a few days, but I inexplicably threw my life here, as a commander, I feel that I have the obligation to help them seek justice!" ”

"This ......" A family master's lips were a little dry, and he looked at Lu Xuan and said: "Commander, this matter has nothing to do with us, it must be the villain's victim, Inspector can rest assured......"

Lu Xuan interrupted the words of the head of the family, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this kind of thing is not what we are good at, and we are not here to judge the case when we call everyone today." ”

As he spoke, Lu Xuan got up, and Sandao handed the pre-prepared stick holder to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan looked at these family heads and said: "I know, this matter must be inseparable from everyone here, but I don't know who it is, and I don't want to know, I just need someone to pay for my brother's life!" Not excessive, right? ”

Many people looked at the blood sacrifice outside that had not dried up, wasn't that enough?

"Don't look outside, I'm just here, I invite you to discuss matters, if you don't come, it's tantamount to making enemies of me, this kind of scum, whether you are involved in this matter or not, there is no need to live!" Lu Xuan said: "We people are cheap, just ten people are counted as one family, thirty-four people, I will round it up for everyone, count five families, destroy five families, even if this matter is over, Lu will not pursue you on this matter." ”

The faces of the crowd became even more ugly.

Five?

Of the people here, which family is not outside the hundreds, and also, ten people count as one, how do thirty-four people calculate five, what is the algorithm for rounding?

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Lu Xuan raised the lottery holder in his hand and said with a smile: "The number of lots here corresponds to the number of you, five of them are on the lottery, and the lottery is the one, and the door is destroyed. ”

"The Governor is also a hero for a while, how can he do such an unrighteous thing!?" Cui Yuan took a deep breath, got up and looked at Lu Xuan and said: "The old man guarantees his life, within one day, find out the murderer of this matter, and ask the commander to take back his life!" ”

"What the old man said is good, then Cui Lao will send this sign." Lu Xuan put the stick holder in front of Cui Yuan, looked at him and said, "Don't talk to me about any big truths, I'm a vulgar martial artist, and I'm still a thief, your reasoning is useless to me!" ”

After speaking, Lu Xuan sat back on the main seat, glanced at Cui Yuan, who was motionless, took out five copper coins from his arms, and said with a smile: "The last time I came, I played a game with Zhou Ji, the copper coins were thrown out, and whoever fell in front of them died, if Cui Lao insisted on refusing, then let's play this." ”

As he spoke, he turned the copper coin in his hand upside down, looked at Cui Yuan and said: "Elder Cui, make the next decision, it's not early, everyone probably can't eat the food here, don't delay the big guy's time!" ”
