"Dead?" Zhu Ran stared blankly at the news sent by his bodyguard. The horrifying news directly made Zhu Ran dizzy.
"Zhou Yu is dead?" An elder of the Zhu family who was sitting at the top was stunned at first when he heard the news, and then he was ecstatic, "What do you mean, people are doing it, and God is watching? Look, God can't even see it..."
Before they finished speaking, several other elders of the Zhu family realized what was happening instantly, and rushed over to cover the big-mouthed elder of the Zhu family, and then covered him tightly in a cold sweat. Some words
You can't say that, because if you say it, someone will die, especially at this time.
"Shut up! Shut up now!" Zhu Tang covered the other person's mouth and roared angrily. When Zhou Yu was not dead, they would have been fine even if they scolded him at home, but when Zhou Yu was dead, they dared to say one more word.
, they may be dragged away to be buried.
The clan elder whose mouth was covered had already realized what he had said. He felt as if he had crawled out of the water, and his clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
As for the branches that were separated recently, they have already fled. Compared with this group of guys who want to die, dare to assassinate Zhou Yu, and actually carry out the execution, how dare they stay here.
When the first person to run away appeared, most of the members of the various branches of the Zhu family hall, which were originally full, quickly ran away. Even if the remaining ones did not run away, they had a look of fear on their faces.
At the moment of Zhou Yu's death, if the Zhu family said something like this, it would really implicate a lot of people. Sun Ce looked like a rational man. That was because of Zhou Yu, and now the chains that bound Sun Ce to the position of a rational man were
After being cut off, the furious Sun Ce would really act like a mad dog.
"Tie up the great elder, don't let the other party die, and wait to apologize." Zhu Ran sighed and said, he understands Sun Ce, and precisely because he understands Sun Ce, he knows what will happen. This is not a matter of persuasion or not.
The question is how many people will die.
"No..." The great elder who was laughing wildly before had no time to speak, and was dragged away by other elders. Everyone is not a fool. Zhou Yu's previous behavior was at most an adjustment in the distribution of benefits, but what the great elder said before was directly fatal.
, because this sentence alone was enough to convict the furious Sun Ce of assassination.
At this time, if Sun Ce could listen to people's words and understand what it means to just talk, he would have seen a ghost!
As long as you say this, Sun Ce can directly kill you because you have this idea and will do this. Zhu Ran knows very well what kind of crazy Sun Ce is.
After suppressing the great elder, Zhu Ran no longer wanted to discuss it, because it was meaningless. Compared with losing a little benefit, what they would face in the future was a 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 had suppressed the elder came back, Zhu Ran stood up and said with a hint of anger.
.
"I don't want Governor Zhou's death to have anything to do with our family. Now I'm going to the government office. I will definitely come back tonight. No matter how late it is, you will find out the matter and wait here for me to come back. If you can't find out...
..." When Zhu Ran left, he looked at everyone present with cold eyes and said.
After saying that, Zhu Ran left directly, leaving only a group of panic-stricken elders of the main family and principals of various branches. Zhou Yu was not dead. They angrily accused Zhou Yu of the favor order and even wanted to overthrow Zhou Yu.
, but after Zhou Yu died, they were left with only panic, even more panic than when they faced the order of grace, because the former was only a matter of interests, while the latter was a matter of heads.
The Xu family, the Gu family, the Zhang family, etc. were all in panic at this time. Zhou Yu was not dead. They could confront Zhou Yu because Zhou Yu had no good way to deal with them. He couldn't really kill them.
It is valuable. As a rational person, Zhou Yu will sooner or later make a partial compromise.
But if Zhou Yu died, it would be useless to compromise. Even if Zhou Yu died, they would not get any benefits. It was a benefit that they were not dragged to be buried.
What's worse is that many of them have said that they want to look good to Zhou Yu. They don't need to look good now. They should first study how they will die next, especially those who have said so before.
The clan elders are more frightened at this time than their father is dead.
"Dead?" A group of people gathered and were scolding Zhou Yu for being unreasonable. When they were still drunk at the banquet, they said they wanted to give Zhou Yu a good-looking Xu Gong. They were stunned when they saw the news brought by their retainers.
, he was so frightened that he woke up from drinking, but he hasn’t done anything yet, and he is just a talker, how could he do such a thing, he is not really crazy.
Xu Gong's Xu family is inextricably related to Xu Shao's Xu family. In this life, those messy things didn't happen. Xu Gong naturally didn't die in Sun Ce's hands. After the Xu family closed down, many people
With the resources transferred, Xu Gong's Xu family naturally developed rapidly as a Jiangdong family, and is now considered a large family among the Jiangdong family.
This time, the Xu family also suffered a lot due to Zhou Yu's favor order, but if we really want to say it, this loss was even a good thing for Xu Gong. After all, this wave of favor orders was cut off, and Xu Gong successfully cut off his family's family.
The branches created by our family and the Xu family in Runan were cut open.
Although my family has also suffered losses, no matter how much it suffers, can it still be worse than when I was living in Jiangdong?
Therefore, Xu Gong happily held a banquet to celebrate that his family had escaped from the control of the master's family and had won the big prize. However, he couldn't make it too obvious, so he held a banquet to denounce Zhou Yu, and many families were dissatisfied with Zhou Yu's behavior.
, all sent people to participate, which can be regarded as building momentum and putting pressure on Zhou Yu so that they can continue the negotiations in the future. As a result, before the pressure was put on in the follow-up, Zhou Yu died?
I am!
At this moment, the others who were still scolding Zhou Yu at the banquet have not yet received the news and realized what happened, but Xu Gong was so frightened that he sobered up!
"Clang." Xu Gong's right hand softened, and the hand holding the wine bottle shook. The wine bottle fell to the ground, and the wine poured all over the floor.
"Hahaha, you're drunk, you're drunk." Xu Zhao said with a smile as he watched his distant cousin's wine bottles fall to the ground, his face turning pale.
One thing to say is that the relationship between Xu Zhao and Xu Gong is actually not very good, especially when they were in China, they were more or less inseparable. But later because they had to go abroad, it was difficult for their small family to grow.
All forces that can be united need to be united.
The branch represented by Xu Zhao and the branch represented by Xu Gong, combined with the branch that was reincarnated from the dirt, formed the Xu family of Wu County, which was second only to several large families in Jiangdong.
Of course, many people from the Xu family in Wu County are actually from the Runan Xu family, that is, Xu Shao's clan. What Xu Jing did was unethical. The Xu family could only seal their doors for fifty years, but the one who sealed them was the Runan Xu family.
What happened to the Xu family of Wujun? By relying on this trick to hide the truth, the Xu family of Wujun successfully established a foothold in Southeast Asia.
Xu Gong was somewhat dissatisfied with this, but because the Xu family of Runan had locked up too many key things at the beginning, the Xu family of Wujun was almost swallowed up. If there was no contract, the additional banner could only be Wujun.
Xu family, the head of the family must also be Xu Gong. Maybe the Xu family in Runan will completely destroy the Xu family in Wu County by relying on their own strength.
After all, the Xu family in Wu County 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 Xu family in Runan, even if it only provides backbone talents, the famous
If you don't give it to anyone with a surname, it's impossible to confront them head-on.
So for a long time, the Xu family in Wujun could only survive like this. It was thanks to the Xu family in Runan that they had to keep a low profile and did not dare to show their faces. They took a lot of benefits from the other party. You have me and I have you.
The Xu family of Wu County did not dare to blow themselves up, so they remained in a stalemate.
It wasn't until the end of last year that Zhou Yu came back to push the favor 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 had mixed with his family in one go, and successfully cut off the branch veins.
A lot of resources have been cut into the hands of the main line.
??????55.??????
This kind of behavior can be described as pure speculation, but the opportunity Xu Gong seized was so good that the Runan Xu family had no time to prepare a response strategy. Zhou Yu had already led people to rush to the Xu family's home in Wu County.
There was a wave of drastic reforms for the Xu family, which directly split the Xu family in Wu County into five families, two large and three small. Among them, Xu Gong, as the nominal head of the family and a direct descendant, naturally received the most.
Xu Zhao, as the main force that confronted Xu Gong, naturally got the second most.
The remaining large branches could only accept the three melons and two dates with tears under Zhou Yu's iron fist.
There is no way, facing Xu Gong, the Runan Xu family can attack with an iron fist, but facing Zhou Yu, who has an iron fist is still a question. Once exposed, there will be nothing. If not exposed, at least there will be a future, so that
The Xu family of Runan knew clearly that Xu Gong had teamed up with his cousin, whom he had a bad relationship with, to frame them, but due to legal constraints and rules, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take it first.
Zhou Yu was aware of some problems within the Xu family, but which family didn't have some shady things, so after dividing some interests from the branches, they still looked angrily at the direct line. Zhou Yu just glanced at it and stopped paying attention.
, it’s not a big deal after all.
In fact, that time Xu Gong almost completely swallowed up the knowledge accumulated by the Runan Xu family over the past hundred years, and kicked the Runan Xu family to an unknown island in Southeast Asia. From then on
The Xu family of Wu County is a serious family with a foundation.
As for the Runan Xu family, who had been severely drained of blood and whose very foundation had been refined, what can I say, they didn't even have the energy to cause trouble.
In fact, Xu Gong didn't show up in the first half of this year. He was immersed in sorting out the background of the Xu family in Runan so as to turn it into his own strength. It took him more than half a year to get it done, and then he showed up to hold a banquet and did it in a gregarious manner.
A banquet was held to denounce Zhou Yu, and a large number of Jiangdong aristocratic families were invited. As a result, Zhou Yu is now dead!
Xu Zhao smiled and picked up the wine bottle for his distant cousin who looked pale and looked like he was in a bad state after drinking too much. The relationship between the two parties was always bad in the past, but last year Xu Gong used a borrowed knife to kill people and directly forced the Xu family of Wu County.
After standing up, Xu Zhao and himself also received overwhelming wealth.
Although he came to the throne by stepping on the corpse of the Xu family in Runan, the scenery from a high place is really good, so much so that Xu Zhao, who originally had a very bad relationship with Xu Gong, now feels a little more fond of his cousin.
I am convinced that bad relationships can be cultivated. The cousin leads his brother to pick up the heritage of a century-old wealthy family. What a reliable brotherhood this is. I can say it is ironclad!
"Cousin, you have drunk too much. Why don't I help you go to the back room and drink some sobering soup." Xu Zhao walked over and helped Xu Gong and said. At this time, the well-informed guy at the banquet had also received the information.
After all, a major event like Zhou Yu being assassinated in the street really couldn't be concealed.
Immediately, the originally noisy banquet gradually became quieter, until at a certain moment even the noise stopped. No matter how much they drank, as long as members of the aristocratic family who could come to drink had the most basic ability to judge right from wrong, that is
He said that no matter how dandy they were, at least they knew how serious Zhou Yu's death was.
The sky is falling, this was the first reaction of these family members. After the drunkenness faded and they realized what kind of banquet they were attending, it became even more overwhelming. Some guys even left without even saying goodbye.
He crawled and ran outside. Everyone who attended the banquet today had a way to die when Zhou Yu was assassinated in the street!
In just a short time of burning incense, the courtyard filled with dignitaries was already a mess. Even the most respectable and wealthy family among them just bowed their hands to express the seriousness of the situation today. We will take our leave first and thank the Xu family master the next day.
As for most of the ordinary people who came to make up the numbers, they just ran away!
At the same time, Zhuge Jin, the government office of Ye Diao City, immediately notified all Sun Ce's officials who were still in Ye Diao, and notified Sun Quan that Sun Quan would use the talisman to impose martial law on Ye Diao City.
"Has Gong Jin really been assassinated?" Sun Quan brought Lu Meng and Pan Zhang and came straight to Zhuge Jin as soon as possible. Other issues were not important to Sun Quan, even if it was to capture the assassin and find the mastermind behind the scenes.
Everything can be postponed. The most important thing now is to determine Zhou Yu's situation, whether it was Zhou Yu's fault or whether he was really assassinated.
Zhuge Jin looked very ugly and took Sun Quan directly to the cold storage underground of the government office, where Zhou Yu's body had been moved.
When Sun Quan saw this scene, everyone was stunned. The older he got, the more Sun Quan understood the significance of Zhou Yu to Jiangdong, and now Jiangdong's pillar was lying in the ice cellar.
"What's going on? What's going on? I only heard that it was an assassination before. How could Gong Jin be assassinated, and where are his guards? Are his guards eating shit?" Sun Quan roared angrily, how could it be possible?
Just die like that?
"All five soldiers who were directly involved in the assassination have been captured. However, since all five of them were dead soldiers, and the weakest ones were smelted at the fifth level, only the corpses were brought back. Fortunately, the heads of three of them were saved. Now,
We are using various secret techniques to search for the traces left by the assassins." Zhuge Jin looked gloomy, but he tried his best to explain clearly what they did before Sun Quan came.
"What are the results of the verification?" Sun Quan suppressed his anger and looked at Zhuge Jin and asked, "With five dead warriors above the fifth level of smelting, isn't it clear that the Jiangdong family has this kind of strength?"
"It may not be the work of one family, and these still need to be verified. The first thing we have to do now is not to mess up our own situation." Zhuge Jin activated his spiritual talent to stimulate Sun Quan's wisdom and prevent Sun Quan from falling into rage.
, but try to solve the problem first.
Inspired by Zhuge Jin's talent, Sun Quan's furious thoughts were triggered by his brain that plucked the chord of wisdom, and he vaguely captured something, but could not confirm it.
"Does Gong Jin have a plan to fake his death?" Although Sun Quan did not capture the spark of wisdom, the few thoughts that were inspired made Sun Quan think of some possibilities.
"Yes." Zhuge Jin nodded, but before Sun Quan could take a deep breath, he heard Zhuge Jin continue with a gloomy face, "But it's not the current plan, and it's not really death."
"Tzuyu..." Just when Sun Quan was about to ask in detail, Zheng Du appeared behind the ice cellar. After taking a look at Sun Quan, he greeted Zhuge Jin.
"Wucheng Hou, I leave the matter of martial law in the city to you. We need to verify some things here, please forgive me." Zhuge Jin saluted Sun Quan cautiously, and then quickly retreated, leaving Sun Quan alone behind the ice cellar.
Looking at Zhou Yu's body, Sun Quan's expression looked extremely ferocious.
"What's the result of the secret technique test?" Zhuge Jin asked with a gloomy expression after following Zheng Du out.
Although theoretically speaking, Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao should take over after Zhou Yu's fall, but the current situation is too complicated. Only Zhuge Jin, who is obviously able to stay out of the matter and has enough ability to take over, can still maintain the surface stability.
Otherwise, just after Zhou Yu was accidentally assassinated, the mutual accusations caused would cause Sun Ce's subordinates to collapse into several factions.
What's more, no matter who takes over now, they must find out the causes and consequences of Zhou Yu's assassination on the street as soon as possible, and give an explanation to the Han Dynasty and Sun Ce before Sun Ce comes back, otherwise...
"It's not good. The other party is also covered by secret techniques. This was what we expected, but after we forcibly cracked it, the identity extracted was 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 is information about several big families."
"Call Pang Shiyuan and tell him in front of Pang Shiyuan." 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 conspiracies appeared in Zhuge Jin's mind at this moment.
