Chapter Seventeen Cloudy
Naturally, everyone was less likely to be complained by Zhou Yu.
Only this time, Ji Shu and Sun Ce still caught Zhou Yu's drunken scandal, so how could they be afraid of him?
A few people laughed and chatted for a while, talking about business. Sun Ce looked at Zhou Tai and asked: "Youping, what did you say just now?"
Zhou Tai waited for half the pay, and when he saw his lord finally asking, he hurriedly spoke in detail.
It turns out that early this morning, the news about last night had spread, but the momentum was a little off.
Some said that Sun Ce was cruel and murderous, and killed more than 300 people in the Shen family manor just for fun.
Some people said that Sun Ce was greedy for money and wanted to seize the Shen family's property, so he sent troops to commit murder.
Some people said that Sun Ce was going militarily and was planning to rob the Jiangdong family for money and food.
"What you said is clear-cut. Now that Jianye has been spread all over the country, we don't know the situation in other counties in Jiangdong." Zhou Tai said angrily.
Huh! The bad guys complained first and then poured dirty water on us.
"It's so shameless. Why doesn't he describe his son Shen Shi as a hero who resisted atrocities?" Ji Shu snorted disdainfully, feeling angry in his heart.
Zhou Yu, however, clapped his hands and laughed and said: "To confuse the public and create momentum. It has just been one night, and the action was so fast. It seems that it is undoubtedly the work of the Shen family. Even if we tell the truth, they can say that we shirk this Excuse."
Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce and knew that he was the most impulsive. He was afraid that he would directly raise troops to kill the Shen family when he was angry. He quickly said: "If you attack the aristocratic family rashly, it will be even more true. The rumors will be confirmed. At that time, Bo Fu will really lose his reputation and bring peace to the world." He was despised by others and became Dong Zhuo's second best."
Then you still have the heart to laugh? Ji Shu rolled his eyes at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Tai said bitterly: "His grandma cannot touch the Shen family. I will take people outside to arrest whoever is spreading rumors. I will kill him with a knife! Then, I will see who dares to talk nonsense and slander. Lord!"
Zhao Yun answered: "General Zhou, this is not acceptable. Then they will say that we have something evil in our hearts! And add the charge of setting troops to deceive others."
Seeing everyone nodding, Zhou Tai said in a muffled voice: "What should we do?"
what to do?
When it comes to marching and fighting, everyone here has many ways to do it. But this kind of conspiracy and conspiracy, which can't be fought and caught, has troubled everyone.
Sun Ce turned to look at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu turned to look at Ji Shu.
What are you looking at me for? I can do something about it? Ji Shu said awkwardly, "Why don't you come to Lu Su and see if he can do something about it?"
"Brother Ziyuan, why don't you come and ask me?"
Everyone followed the sound and saw that Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao were slowly walking in from outside the door.
"Zi Bu!" Ji Shu said in surprise.
"No one can stop the wide mouth of the world, because the human heart cannot be controlled."
Zhang Zhao smiled slightly at Ji Shu, then turned to look at Sun Ce, and continued: "My lord, words are the sharpest sword, you must be careful."
Sun Ce was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he had just acquired two powerful generals and had two more to surrender. He quickly asked for advice: "Zi Bu, please speak. Ce is all ears."
Seeing everyone around him looking over, Zhang Zhao realized that this was his first move after surrendering to Sun Ce, so he stopped being frivolous and analyzed it seriously.
"Since they want to speak, we will accompany them to speak. If the people can only hear one voice, then something really bad will happen."
"So, not only do we say it, but we do more than what they say."
"First, since they are pouring dirty water on my lord, it doesn't matter, we will do the same. And we want to splash it even darker. It's best to turn our lord into a monster that eats people without spitting out their bones."
If the water is already muddied, we can only make it muddied.
"Second, let's compile the story of Shen Shi who robbed a common girl, General Gan and General Zhou alone in Shenjiazhuang, and then General Gan got angry and turned into a beauty. Let the storytellers in the wine shop tell it vividly."
"You know, people like this kind of love story the most."
When people are tired of hearing rumors, they will naturally look at them with their eyes. What is true is true, and what is false is false. When people carefully distinguish, some clues will be revealed in daily life, and the truth will always be there. A bright day.
Zhang Zhao was joking while looking at everyone calmly and talking.
"Fortunately, the person arrested by Shen Qi this time is also the famous prostitute Matchmaker in Jiangdong. With the matchmaker's reputation, it won't take long for the truth to come out."
"We don't seek merit, but we seek no faults! In fact, all we have to do is sit back and watch, and take advantage of the situation as we see it."
"My lord has tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in the east of the Yangtze River. This is my lord's foundation, and it is also the sharp sword on the family's head. Once they have no way out, it is not my lord who has the final say whether to squeeze or pinch them?"
"Some aristocratic families have marriages, business dealings, and secret filth, which could lead to the start of the relationship. Now that the Shen family has broken up with the lord, other aristocratic families will not say a word."
"My lord, why don't you take this opportunity to integrate the Jiangdong family, remove the dross, save the essence, and truly twist the entire Jiangdong into a single rope."
After hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly and excitedly discussed some details and responses to emergencies, and thus made a plan to reorganize Jiangdong's internal affairs.
······
Zhao Yun, Qingshan, Zhang Hong, and Zhang Zhao have recently surrendered, and everyone can't help but gossip, so we won't mention it here for now.
Talking about the happy things, Sun Ce just took everyone to have dinner together before leaving.
"elder brother!"
Sun Ce was about to go back to his room to rest, but when he walked into the yard, he was stopped by Sun Quan.
"Brother, I have something to tell you."
Sun Ce was stunned. Seeing that it was rare for Sun Quan to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, he couldn't help but said happily: "Okay, tell me what you want."
Sun Quan was not in such a good mood. He said with a dark face: "You have a falling out with the Jiangdong family?"
It turned out that the servants in the mansion did not dare to talk nonsense about the killing of the Shen family master, so Sun Quan only heard a bunch of rumors when he went out for a drink today.
Sun Quan was shocked, and after careful questioning, he found out what happened last night. He also heard that the head of the Shen family had invited Jiangdong's big and small families to the mansion as guests. He still didn't understand how serious the matter was, so he hurried back to the mansion. I want to discuss something with my brother.
But when the servant heard that his eldest brother was still drinking with others, one can imagine Sun Quan's mood.
Sun Ce smiled slightly. He knew that Sun Quan was much smarter than him since he was a child, so to be honest, he always let Sun Quan make decisions in the past.
But now that he is the lord of Jiangdong, he has many civil servants and generals under his command, so he naturally wants to discuss it with them.
Besides, he didn't want Sun Quan to always worry about him as his elder brother. This was related to his elder brother's dignity.
So, he quickly pretended to be relaxed and said: "Haha, it's no big deal! You don't have to worry."
When Sun Quan heard this, he was furious.
Do you know how many Jiangdong families have been invited by Mr. Shen?
"No big deal? The noble family is the foundation of the country. Most of the talented scholars come from various aristocratic families. I don't deny that there are well-educated scholars from poor families, but how many are there?"
"When my father was still alive, he treated the children of the aristocratic family with courtesy and did not dare to turn against him easily. It would be better for you to kill the only son of the Shen family when Jiangdong first decides!"
Sun Quan was relatively smart since he was a child. Not only Sun Jian doted on him, but Sun Ce also doted on his younger brother.
To Ji Shu and Zhou Yu, it was brotherly love, and to Sun Quan, it was family love.
Seeing that Sun Quan was really angry, Sun Ce quickly explained: "It was Gan Ning who killed him, not my intention. Besides, it was also because that Shen Shi really deserves to die."
"Brother, a little impatience leads to a big plan! You have offended all the Jiangdong family, how can you stay in Jiangdong?" Sun Quan asked.
Sun Ce curled his lips and said proudly to his younger brother: "Don't worry, Zhongmou. It's okay. They dare to mess around. See if I don't take care of them!"
Although Sun Ce wanted to show off his dignity as an elder brother, it had the opposite effect. Sun Quan said angrily: "Brother, you are just fooling around. You will destroy the legacy left by your father!"
Sun Jian was a thorn in Sun Ce's heart. Every time he thought of his father, Sun Ce felt regretful.
Hearing that Sun Quan had moved out of his father's house, Sun Ce couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
He suddenly became a little angry and said angrily: "Then what do you want to do? Let me hand Gan Ning over to the Shen family and give him a life for himself?"
"Absolutely impossible! If he did something wrong, that's all. If he did something right, how could I ignore my brother just to settle the matter?"
Sun Quan said: "Then the young master of the Shen family died in vain? Even if you don't let Gan Ning pay with his life, you should at least bring a gift to apologize and punish Gan Ning heavily on the surface."
"Let me apologize!" A ball of evil fire rushed to Sun Ce's chest, and he shouted, "How is that possible!"
Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan dissatisfied and said: "His son has done many evil things and deserves to die. If I come to apologize and punish Gan Ning, won't it chill the hearts of my subordinates and make everyone in the world laugh?"
"You, you!" Sun Quan's nose twisted in anger.
He flicked his sleeves, turned around and said, "Okay, I don't care about you anymore! Do whatever you like! I want to see how majestic you are!"
Sun Quan ran out angrily and accidentally knocked down Xu Gong who was moving the case files. The books suddenly spilled on the floor.
Sun Quan paused, glanced at Xu Gong, and left in a fit of anger.
Xu Gong looked into the yard, and Sun Ce said, "Thank you for your hard work. Just pack your things and go back to rest."
After saying that, Sun Ce shook his head, snorted and went to the backyard.
Chapter completed!
