Cao Xi, Peng Yuan and Chen Tang have all been escorted. The expressions on the faces of the three of them were ashen, and there was a deep look of despair in their eyes. When they planned to deal with Fang Geliang, they didn't think anything was wrong. Now they are being
His house was confiscated and he was exiled, and he was also executed, so he completely collapsed.
While the three of them were crying and looking sad, Zhou Xin was escorted over.
Peng Yuan was a little desperate and emotionally collapsed.
The moment he saw Zhou Xin, his collapsed emotions suddenly found a point to vent. Peng Yuan roared: "Zhou Xin, you are a pest, you are the one who bewitched me. If you didn't have evil intentions, we wouldn't get involved.
Even if we are not angry in our hearts, we would not dare to take action."
Cao Xi was also angry, gritted his teeth and yelled: "Zhou Xin, you are harming others and yourself."
Zhou Xin was also desperate and in a very bad mood. After he was accused, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You participated voluntarily, who can you blame? Did I force you? Don't you have any brains?"
Chen Tang knelt on the ground, his face filled with regret. He remembered that at the beginning, they followed Lu Xuan and waved flags and followed Lu Xuan to make money. Because of a series of things, they have developed to the present, and they were actually ransacked and executed.
After all, it’s the lack of people’s hearts.
After all, it was too greedy.
Chen Tang smiled miserably, but did not argue. He was too lazy to say anything now. He just regretted it. Chen Tang glanced at the people gathered around him and looked at the excitement in their eyes, and simply lowered his head.
"King Wu is here!"
Suddenly, shouts came.
Lu Xuan came in a carriage and walked directly to the execution ground.
"King Wu, the villain is in the wrong. Please show some mercy and spare the villain."
Cao Xi spoke loudly.
"Please, King Wu, be noble and spare this villain."
Peng Yuan also begged for mercy.
Lu Xuan ignored them at all. With a wave of his hand, a soldier immediately took out linen cloth, wrapped it into a ball, and stuffed it into the mouths of Cao Xi, Peng Yuan, Chen Tang and Zhou Xin.
Lu Xuan looked around, looked at the people gathered, and said loudly: "Today, I will execute Zhou Xin, Peng Yuan, Cao Xi and Chen Tang in public, confiscate their respective families, and exile them all because of the conspiracy of the four of them.
Assassinate Zhuge Liang, the imperial official."
"My king arranged for Zhuge Liang to serve as the magistrate of Nanjing and be responsible for building the new capital city of Nanjing. However, they sent people to intercept and assassinate him in order to prevent Zhuge Liang from building the city of Nanjing. Now, it has caused Zhuge Liang to fall into coma and he has not woken up yet."
"The four people who assassinated officials and conspired against the imperial government's policies should be punished for their crimes."
When Lu Xuan said this, his voice suddenly rose, and he said loudly: "Today, Zhou Xin and others will be confiscated and exiled, and the culprits will be killed. If something similar happens again, we will kill all three tribes and leave no one alive."
"kill!"
Lu Xuan gave the order.
The executioner, who had been prepared long ago, drank strong wine and sprayed it on the blade, then swung the knife and struck it down. The blade passed by, and four bloody heads fell to the ground and rolled twice.
The four corpses were dripping with blood and fell to the ground one after another, with blood constantly gushing out.
Lu Xuan saw the people around him.
Among these people, there must be spies from big families and even some Wu officials.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Xuan did not need to come in person to kill a few criminals. This time, Lu Xuan came in person to express his position and to show the seriousness of this matter.
Lu Xuan believed that this news would spread throughout the officialdom of Wu State and reach the ears of powerful families. By then, these unwilling people would know Lu Xuan's determination and even more clearly that Lu Xuan arranged for Zhuge Liang to build the city of Nanjing.
, is the bottom line that cannot be touched.
This is Lu Xuan's statement.
He also publicly supported Zhuge Liang.
Lu Xuan executed Zhou Xin and four other people. The members of the four families were directly exiled, and the families directly ransacked their homes. All the confiscated materials, land, etc. were transferred to the Shaofu and entered Lu Xuan's personal pocket.
The next morning, Zhuge Liang came back by carriage and stayed at Zhuge's house temporarily.
Lu Xuan got the news that Chen Deng reported to Zhuge Liang. Although he knew that Zhuge Liang's injury was not serious, Zhuge Liang was not a warrior. In this era, having a knife wound was a very troublesome thing, so Lu Xuan arranged for someone to prepare a carriage and went to visit Zhuge Liang's house in person.
.
When Lu Xuan went there, it was at Zhuge's house.
Zhuge Liang changed into brand new clothes, bandaged his wounds, and was now lying on the bed to rest.
However, Zhuge Liang looked at his eldest sister Zhuge Rong who was crying in front of him and sighed: "Sister, I have nothing to do, why are you crying?"
Zhuge Rong wiped his tears and said angrily: "Your shoulder was injured and you were almost unconscious. Is everything okay? The clothes you took off were stained with blood. How can you be okay? I asked you to be cautious and pay attention to safety when you go out. You are like this
Take care of your own?”
Zhuge Liang looked at his eldest sister, feeling a little frightened for no reason.
His parents died, so his eldest brother is like his father and his eldest sister is like his mother, especially his elder sister, who takes great care of him. Now that Zhuge Rong is angry, he dare not say that the injury on his shoulder was caused by himself.
Otherwise, you will definitely be scolded in full.
Zhuge Liang felt a little regretful.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have come back.
He wanted to build momentum for Lu Xuan, so he pretended to be in a coma and returned to Shu County. Unexpectedly, he ignored his sister's reaction.
Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and comforted him: "Sister, look at my complexion. My face is rosy, my eyes are lively, my words are full of energy, and my arms are relaxed. I don't look like I'm weak."
"you shut up!"
Zhuge Rong's delicate face had an angry look.
She said in a deep voice: "Brother neglects to take care of himself and is slovenly. Now you are like this, which is not worrying at all. You are surrounded by guards and you are still injured. I really don't know what you did?"
Zhuge Liang really can't figure it out, women are just trouble.
The more you talk, the more enthusiastic she gets.
Zhuge Liang simply closed his eyes slightly, pretended to be tired, and said, "Sister, I'm a little tired and want to sleep."
Zhuge Rong suddenly became anxious.
The anger on her face disappeared, replaced by worry, and she quickly said: "How are you? Are you feeling unwell? Or are there other problems? Just tell me quickly, and I will send someone to see a doctor. I don't know what happened to my brother.
, I arranged for someone to report the news, but my eldest brother hasn’t come back yet.”
Zhuge Liang was moved but helpless.
The more the eldest sister acted like this, the less he dared to say that the wound was self-inflicted. He could only say: "Eldest sister, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired."
"Miss Rong, King Wu has arrived in the hall."
At this moment, the butler came in to report.
After Zhuge Rong heard this, he glanced at Zhuge Liang and ordered: "You have a good rest, I will go to see the King of Wu. My uncle and eldest brother are not here, and the third brother is too young. I will go to greet him personally, so I can't lose etiquette."
She left in a hurry, then took her third brother Zhuge Jun and sister Zhuge Yan and walked towards the hall.
Zhuge Liang looked at Zhuge Rong's leaving figure and breathed a sigh of relief.
At least the king is here.
Otherwise, he would still have to face his eldest sister's concern, although he was moved and grateful from the bottom of his heart. After all, his eldest sister is like a mother, and it is his sister who runs the house. However, he could not bear the look of his eldest sister crying.
It would be better to marry earlier.
The eldest sister is twenty-one years old and has reached the age to get married. If she delays it any longer, she will become an old girl.
