Chapter 813: Windfall
Ignoring the broken porcelain cup, the old man hurriedly ran out of the house.
Fortunately, before Cao Jun left, the old man stepped forward to salute, pretending to be calm and tentatively asked: "This general, I don't know what mistake Xiao'er made, you want you to be so excited?" ”
"He knew what he had done." Cao Jun gave a vague answer.
The people who heard the movement looked at this side from afar, gathered together to discuss, and exchanged ears.
Lu Mi is a face-loving person, if you want to change it to the past, when Cao Cao was still governing Yanzhou, which general dared to talk to him in such a tone.
But now that Yanzhou has changed hands, Lu Bu is not a good person.
Lu Mi had no choice but to suppress the displeasure in his heart, and said with a smile: "This general, I have had two or three fates with your general before. Can you let my son go first, and when the old man goes to meet the general, it will not be too late to make a decision. ”
The old man put forward his opinion, and at the same time had a plan in mind. It's a big deal, like the Zhou family, to donate 100,000 stone of grain to ensure that his son is worry-free.
Unexpectedly, Cao Jun didn't buy face at all, and said loudly: "General Ben doesn't have that much spare time, come here, and show me all the people in the Lu Mansion, whether they are old men and wives, or servants and maids." No one is allowed to step outside the house without my orders. ”
The soldiers responded in unison and broke directly into the mansion.
"What are you guys going to do!"
Seeing the soldiers rushing into the mansion, Old Man Lu's expression changed greatly, and he even showed a little panic, pointing at Cao Jun and shouting: "In broad daylight, why are you forcibly breaking into people's houses!" And if there is no royal law discipline, I must go to the general to sue you! ”
Faced with Lu Mi's threat, Cao Jun was unmoved.
The general said that he was not allowed to rob the people, but he did not say that he could not loot the big households.
It's rare to go to the city, of course, you have to give the brothers a tooth sacrifice, you can't come in vain!
"General Ben suspects that you have bad intentions and intend to subvert the Han Dynasty, and now I want to search whether it is true, please cooperate!" Cao Jun had a serious face, casually found an excuse, and directly waved his troops into the house to search.
…………
Inside the Governor's House.
Knowing that the mastermind behind collecting grain from the people was the second son of Lu Mansion, Xiao Ji ran to ask for a meeting, and asked Lu Bu: "Lord, what do you plan to do with the Lu family?" ”
Lu Bu glanced at Xiao Ji and pushed the question back: "What do you think should be?" ”
Xiao Ji thought for a while, bowed down and replied: "I think that the Lu family instructed the villagers to ask for food, although their behavior is bad, but the food they get is not much, and the crime is not to death, so they might as well let them give out some food like the Zhou family to show punishment." ”
If it weren't for the Lu family's previous promise, a lot of benefits would have been given to the Lu family every year. Otherwise, he would not be too lazy to wade into this muddy water.
"In addition, the Lu family must publicly apologize to the people of Yanzhou, and the grain requested must be returned three times." Lu Bu then added two more.
"The lord is wise, so sympathetic to the people, no one in the world can match!" Xiao Ji patted a sycophant, he knew very well that the lord was giving himself face, if he didn't come, the lord would probably take the Lu family.
Now with this reply, the Lu family can barely keep it.
At this time, Chen Wei came in with a lot of cloth with words written on it, and reported to Lu Bu: "Lord, this is a document that General Cao Jun collected from Lufu, and said that he brought it for you to see." ”
"Did he go search someone's mansion?"
Lu Bu frowned slightly, this Cao Jun likes to mess around like his father!
Chen Wei placed the cloth on the desk in front of Lu Bu, and Lu Bu picked up one at random and browsed it.
It's better not to look at it, this time, Lu Bu's eyes were awe-inspiring.
Good for you, Lu Mi, you actually secretly communicated with Cao Cao in private, wanting to seek Yanzhou. And these cloths are all secret letters from the Lu family to Cao Cao!
If it weren't for Cao Jun's accidental discovery today, he would have been sold by the Lu family in the future, and I am afraid he would not have known.
"Lord, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Lu Bu's face was not good, Xiao Ji asked cautiously.
"See for yourself!"
Lu Bu threw down two of them indiscriminately, his face full of anger.
Xiao Ji bowed his waist and picked it up, and when he looked at the content of the letter, before he finished reading it, his legs went straight down, and he knelt on the ground and explained loudly to Lu Bu: "Lord, the Lu family secretly communicates with Cao Cao, and he doesn't know anything about his humble position, please be enlightened!" ”
After speaking, Xiao Ji banged his head on the ground.
The Lu family colluded with Cao Cao, and he was still speaking for the Lu family, what kind of guarantee is this, it's just death!
Perhaps, the lord will suspect that he is also in collusion with Cao Cao.
Xiao Ji complained bitterly in his heart.
This time, he was miserable by the Lu family.
After a while, the skin on Xiao Ji's head was broken, and blood oozed from it.
Lu Bu called him up, and he had been following him for twelve or thirteen years, and he could be said to be the first batch of 'old men'. Lu Bu naturally believed in him, but at the same time, he also wanted him to have a long memory, and he didn't want to ask for everyone's things in the future.
"Pass my order to put all the old and young of the Lu family in prison. There is no need to announce the charges against him and Cao Cao, only that he violated the new decree implemented, and I was angry and beheaded him. Three days later, let the gentry of the city, the peddlers, and the villagers of the nearby countryside all come here to watch! ”
Lu Bu ordered loudly.
…………
Three days later, the vegetable market in Yanzhou.
The area around the improvised execution ground was crowded with people.
After the people learned of the sins committed by the Lu family, they were all filled with righteous indignation, and even put aside their farm work and ran to the city to see the general bring him to justice.
Near noon, Lu Bu, who had personally beheaded him, got up and announced the Lu family's crimes to the people who came to watch.
As the head of the Lu family, this person connived at his son to instigate him to go to the countryside and ask for food from the villagers everywhere. Such a heinous act, even if the law of the country can tolerate it, I can't bear it! Tell me how to deal with it! ”
Lu Bu spoke loudly and righteously.
"Kill him! Kill him! ”
The people below were excited, especially those who had been asked for food before, and they were eager to go up and kill them with their own hands.
The little bell stood in the crowd, pointed his little finger at the execution ground, and said to Guo Jia beside him: "Brother-in-law, those children look no more than seven or eight years old, and they don't know anything at all. I'm going to tell my father that they're innocent! ”
Guo Jia stretched out his hand and pressed on the shoulder of the little bell, shaking his head slightly: "No one is innocent, no one." ”
When noon came, Lu Bu picked up the prison slashing arrow, threw it heavily on the ground, and shouted: Cut!
"Dad, I don't want to die!"
The second son of the Lu family, whose hands were tied, struggled violently and even cried.
If he could do it all over again, he would definitely be an obedient and obedient man.
"Bastard, if it weren't for you, how could my Lu family have today's disaster!" Old Man Lu scolded angrily.
The broadsword is raised, reflecting the rays of the sun.
Then, slash down.
Good!
The moment the head hit the ground, a loud cheer erupted in the crowd of onlookers.
