Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 6617: Brain boiling
"Dead?" Zhu Ran stared at the news sent by his own guards in amazement. The horrifying news made Zhu Ran dizzy.
"Zhou Yu is dead?" An elder of the Zhu family who was sitting at the top was stunned at first, and then ecstatic, "What is the saying that man does things, God sees, look, even God can't stand it..."
Before he finished speaking, several other elders of the Zhu family instantly realized what happened, and rushed over to cover the big-mouthed Zhu family elder, and then covered the other party tightly with cold sweat. Some words cannot be said, and saying them will kill people, especially at this time.
"Shut up! Shut up!" Zhu Tang covered the other party's mouth and roared angrily. When Zhou Yu was not dead, they could scold him at home, but when Zhou Yu died, if they dared to say one more word, they might be dragged to be buried with him.
The elder whose mouth was covered had also realized what he had said at this time. The whole person instantly seemed to have climbed out of the water, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
As for the branch that had just separated from the family, they had already run away at this time. Compared with this group of guys who wanted to die, dared to assassinate Zhou Yu, and actually did it, how could they dare to stay here.
When the first person who ran away appeared, most of the members of the branches in the Zhu family hall, which was originally full of people, quickly ran away. Even if the remaining ones did not run away, they were terrified.
At the moment of Zhou Yu's death, the Zhu family said such words, which would really implicate a large number of people. Sun Ce looked like a rational person because of Zhou Yu, and now the chain that bound Sun Ce to the position of a rational person was cut off. The furious Sun Ce would really act like a mad dog.
"Tie up the elder, don't let him die, and wait for him to apologize." Zhu Ran sighed and said, he understood Sun Ce, and because he understood Sun Ce, he knew very well what would happen. This was not a question of persuading or not, but a question of how many people would die.
"No..." The elder who was laughing wildly before had no time to speak, and was forcibly dragged away by other elders. Everyone was not a fool. Zhou Yu's previous behavior was at most to adjust the distribution of interests, but the elder's previous words were directly fatal, because just based on this sentence, it was enough to charge Sun Ce with assassination.
If Sun Ce could listen to people's words at this time and understand what it meant to just talk, it would be a ghost!
As long as you say this, Sun Ce can think that you have this idea and will do this, and directly destroy you. Zhu Ran knows very well what a crazy Sun Ce is like.
After suppressing the elder, Zhu Ran no longer wanted to discuss it, because it was meaningless. Compared with losing a little bit of interest, the big problem they will face later is the big problem.
"I have to go to the government office, but before I go to the government office, I have a few words to say." After the head of the Zhu family who suppressed the elder came back, Zhu Ran stood up and said with a little hidden anger.
"I don't want the death of Governor Zhou to have anything to do with our family. I'm going to the government office now. I will definitely come back tonight. No matter how late it is, you will find out the matter clearly and wait for me here. If you can't find out clearly..." Zhu Ran said to everyone present with a cold look when he left.
After that, Zhu Ran left directly, leaving behind a group of elders of the main family and the heads of various branches who were in panic. Zhou Yu was not dead. They angrily accused Zhou Yu of the Enfeoffment Order and even wanted to overthrow Zhou Yu. But when Zhou Yu died, they were left with only panic, even more panic than when they faced the Enfeoffment Order, because the former was only a matter of interests, and the latter was a matter of heads falling.
The Xu family, the Gu family, the Zhang family, etc. were all in panic at this time. Zhou Yu was not dead, and they could fight with Zhou Yu, because Zhou Yu had no good way to deal with them. He couldn't really kill them. As long as there was still value, Zhou Yu, as a rational person, would sooner or later make some compromises.
But Zhou Yu was dead, so there was no point in compromising. Even if Zhou Yu was dead, they would not get any benefits. Not being dragged to be buried alive with him was already a benefit.
What was even worse was that many of them had said that they would give Zhou Yu a hard time. Now they didn't have to do that. They had to think about how they would die next. Especially the elders who had said that before, they were more panicked than their fathers dying.
"Dead?" A group of people gathered and scolded Zhou Yu for being unkind. Xu Gong, who had said that he would give Zhou Yu a hard time when he was still slightly drunk at the banquet, was stunned when he saw the news brought by his own retainers. He was sobered up by the shock. He had not done anything yet. Besides, he was just a talker. How could he do such a thing? He was not really crazy.
Xu Gong's Xu family had a close relationship with Xu Shao's Xu family. In this life, no messy things happened, so Xu Gong naturally did not die at the hands of Sun Ce. After the Xu family was closed, many resources were transferred to it. Xu Gong's Xu family naturally developed rapidly as a Jiangdong family, and now it is also a big family among the Jiangdong families.
This time, under Zhou Yu's Enfeoffment Order, the Xu family also suffered heavy losses, but to be honest, this loss is even a good thing for Xu Gong. After all, this wave of Enfeoffment Order cuts off, Xu Gong successfully cut off his own family and the branch created by the Runan Xu family.
Although his family also suffered losses, no matter how much he lost, could it be worse than when he was living in Jiangdong?
So Xu Gong happily held a banquet to celebrate that his family had escaped from the control of the main family and got the lion's share, but he couldn't make it too obvious, so he held a banquet to denounce Zhou Yu, and many families who were dissatisfied with Zhou Yu's behavior sent people to participate, which was also to create momentum and put pressure on Zhou Yu for the subsequent negotiations. As a result, Zhou Yu died before the pressure was put on?
Damn!
At this moment, the others who were still scolding Zhou Yu at the banquet had not received the news and realized what had happened, and Xu Gong had been sobered up by fear!
"Bang." Xu Gong's right hand softened, and the hand holding the wine bottle shook, and the wine bottle fell to the ground, and the wine spilled all over the ground.
"Hahaha, you are drunk, you are drunk." Xu Zhao looked at his distant cousin's wine bottle falling to the ground, and said with a smile with a pale face.
To be honest, the relationship between Xu Zhao and Xu Gong was not very good, especially when they were in China, they were more or less like never seeing each other again, but later, because they wanted to go abroad, it was difficult for small families to develop, and they needed to unite all the forces that could be united.
The branches represented by Xu Zhao and Xu Gong, together with the branches that came out of the Impure World Reincarnation and spoke for themselves, formed the Wujun Xu family, which was second only to several large families in Jiangdong.
Of course, many people in the Wujun Xu family were actually from the Runan Xu family, that is, Xu Shao's clan. What Xu Jing did was not authentic, so the Xu family could only be closed for fifty years, but it was the Runan Xu family that was closed, and it had nothing to do with the Wujun Xu family. Relying on this trick to deceive the world, the Wujun Xu family successfully gained a foothold in Southeast Asia.
Xu Gong was somewhat dissatisfied with this, but because the Runan Xu family locked up too many key things at the beginning, the Wujun Xu family was almost swallowed up. If there was no contract, the banner could only be the Wujun Xu family, and the head of the family must also be Xu Gong. It is possible that the Runan Xu family would have eaten up the Wujun Xu family completely with their own strength.
After all, the Wujun Xu family is essentially a smaller family than the previous Zhuge family, and there are no amazing talents in this generation. Facing a big family like the Runan Xu family, even if it only provides backbone talents, it is impossible to confront it head-on.
So for a long time, the Wujun Xu family could only live like this, and it was thanks to the Runan Xu family that they needed to keep a low profile and dared not show their heads. After taking a lot of benefits from the other party, the Wujun Xu family, which was already in you and me, did not dare to explode, so it has been in a stalemate.
Until the end of last year, Zhou Yu came back to issue the Enfeoffment Order. Xu Gong seized the opportunity and used Zhou Yu's knife to perform an operation on his own family. He cut off the members of the Runan Xu family who were mixed in his family to the branch line in one go, and successfully cut a lot of resources to his main line.
??????55.??????
This behavior can be described as pure speculation, but Xu Gong seized the opportunity too well. The Runan Xu family had no time to prepare a strategy to deal with it. Zhou Yu had already rushed to the home of the Wujun Xu family with his people and carried out a drastic reform against the Xu family, directly splitting the Wujun Xu family into five families, two large and three small. Among them, Xu Gong, as the nominal head of the family and the direct line, naturally got the most.
Xu Zhao, as the main line that confronted Xu Gong head-on, naturally got the second most.
The remaining large branches could only accept the small amount of melons and dates with tears under Zhou Yu's iron fist.
There was no other way. Facing Xu Gong, the Xu family of Runan could fight back with an iron fist, but facing Zhou Yu, it was still a question of who would be the iron fist. Once exposed, there would be nothing left. If not exposed, at least there would be a future. The Xu family of Runan knew that it was Xu Gong who had teamed up with his cousin who had a bad relationship with him to frame them, but they were trapped by legal principles and rules and could only bite the bullet and accept it first.
Zhou Yu did notice some problems within the Xu family, but which family didn't have something shameful? Therefore, when faced with the fact that the branch line still glared at the direct line after dividing some of the interests, Zhou Yu just glanced at it and didn't pay any more attention to it. After all, it was not a big deal.
In fact, that time, Xu Gong almost completely ate up the foundation accumulated by the Xu family of Runan for hundreds of years in a snake-swallowing-elephant way, and kicked the Xu family of Runan to an unknown island in Southeast Asia. From then on, the Xu family of Wujun was a family with a base.
As for the Runan Xu family, whose blood was drained so badly that even their foundation was refined, how can I say that they didn't even have the energy to cause trouble.
In fact, Xu Gong had not shown up in the first half of this year. He was busy sorting out the foundation of the Runan Xu family so that he could turn it into his own strength. It took him more than half a year to finally get it done. Then he showed up and held a banquet. In a sociable manner, he held a banquet to denounce Zhou Yu and invited a large number of Jiangdong families. As a result, Zhou Yu is dead now!
Xu Zhao smiled and picked up the wine bottle for his distant cousin who looked pale and looked like he was drunk. The relationship between the two sides was bad before, but last year Xu Gong used a trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife and directly pushed up the Wujun Xu family, and Xu Zhao also gained overwhelming wealth.
Although he ascended to the throne by stepping on the corpses of the Xu family of Runan, the view from a high place is really good, so much so that Xu Zhao, who originally had a very bad relationship with Xu Gong, now has more faith in his cousin. If the relationship is not good, it can be cultivated. The cousin takes the younger brother to eat the heritage of a century-old wealthy family. What a reliable brotherhood this is, in one word, iron!
"Cousin, you've drunk too much. I'd like to help you go to the inner room and drink some sobering soup." Xu Zhao walked over and supported Xu Gong and said. At this time, the well-informed guys at the banquet had also received the information. After all, Zhou Yu was assassinated in the street. Such a big event really couldn't be concealed.
Immediately, the originally noisy banquet gradually became low, until a certain moment even the noise stopped. No matter how much they drank, as long as the members of the noble families who could come to drink had the most basic ability to judge right from wrong. In other words, no matter how dandy they were, at least they knew how big a deal Zhou Yu's death was.
The sky fell, this was the first reaction of these family members. After the alcohol faded a little and they realized what kind of banquet they were attending, they were even more scared. Some guys didn't even say goodbye, and ran out directly. Everyone who attended this banquet today had a way to die when Zhou Yu was assassinated in the street!
In just a short time, the courtyard full of distinguished guests was left in a mess. Even the most respectable and wealthy family just bowed and said that the situation today was serious. We will take our leave first and thank the head of the Xu family tomorrow. As for the ordinary people who came to make up the numbers, they just ran away!
At the same time, Zhuge Jin of the Ye Diao City Government Office immediately notified all Sun Ce's ministers who were still in Ye Diao, and notified Sun Quan, who used the talisman to impose martial law on Ye Diao City.
"Did Gongjin really get assassinated?" Sun Quan came with Lu Meng and Pan Zhang and went straight to Zhuge Jin. Other problems were not important to Sun Quan. Even catching the assassin and finding the mastermind behind the scenes could be postponed. The most important thing now was to determine Zhou Yu's situation. Was Zhou Yu setting up a trap or was he really assassinated?
Zhuge Jin's face was very ugly. He took Sun Quan directly to the cold storage under the government office. Zhou Yu's body had been moved here.
Sun Quan was stunned when he saw this scene. The older he got, the more he understood Zhou Yu's significance to Jiangdong, and now the pillar of Jiangdong was lying in the ice cellar.
"What happened? What happened? I just heard that it was an assassination. How could Gongjin be assassinated? And where are his guards? Do his guards eat shit?" Sun Quan roared angrily. How could he die like this?
"The five soldiers who directly participated in the assassination have all been captured, but because all five of them were dead soldiers, the weakest of them were five-fold smelting, and only the remains were brought back. Fortunately, the heads of three of them were saved. Now they are using various secret techniques to search for traces left by the assassin." Zhuge Jin looked gloomy, but he tried his best to explain what they did before Sun Quan came.
"What's the result of the investigation?" Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Jin with a rage and asked, "Five dead warriors above the fifth level of smelting, isn't it clear that the Jiangdong family has such strength?"
"It may not be done by one family, and these still need to be verified. The first thing we have to do now is not to lose our composure." Zhuge Jin activated his spiritual talent to stimulate Sun Quan's wisdom, so that Sun Quan would not fall into rage first, but find a way to solve the problem first.
Inspired by Zhuge Jin's talent, Sun Quan's furious thoughts were aroused by his brain that had plucked the strings of wisdom, and he vaguely grasped something, but was unable to confirm it.
"Does Gongjin have a plan to fake his death?" Although Sun Quan did not catch the spark of wisdom, the few thoughts that were stimulated made Sun Quan think of some possibilities.
"Yes." Zhuge Jin nodded, but before Sun Quan could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Zhuge Jin continue with a gloomy face, "But it's not the current plan, and it's not really dead."
"Zi Yu..." Just when Sun Quan was about to ask in detail, Zheng Du appeared behind the ice cellar, looked at Sun Quan, and greeted Zhuge Jin.
"Marquis Wucheng, the matter of martial law in the city is handed over to you. We need to verify some things here, please forgive us." Zhuge Jin bowed to Sun Quan carefully, and then quickly retreated, leaving Sun Quan alone behind the ice cellar. Looking at Zhou Yu's body, Sun Quan's face looked extremely ferocious.
"What is the result of the secret technique test?" Zhuge Jin asked with a gloomy look after following Zheng Du out.
Although theoretically, Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao should take over after Zhou Yu falls, the current situation is too complicated. Only Zhuge Jin, who is obviously able to stay out of it and has sufficient ability, can take over and maintain the surface stability. Otherwise, the mutual accusations caused by Zhou Yu's accidental assassination will cause Sun Ce's subordinates to collapse into several factions.
Moreover, no matter who takes over now, they must find out the cause and effect of Zhou Yu's assassination in the street as soon as possible, and give an explanation to the Han Dynasty and Sun Ce before Sun Ce comes back, otherwise...
"Not good, the other party also has a secret technique, which is what we expected, but after we forcibly cracked it, the identity extracted is not good." Zheng Du said cautiously.
"Which family is it from?" Zhuge Jin closed his eyes and said as if he had recognized the reality, "There are several big families' information."
"Call Pang Shiyuan and tell him in front of him." Zhuge Jin said coldly to Zheng Du. Zheng Du was silent for a while, "There is the Pang family."
"Fuck!" A series of conspiracies and tricks appeared in Zhuge Jin's mind at this moment.
His mentality was broken, ε=(ο`*))) Alas
