Chapter 69: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
Since Sun Jian led his troops back to Wu County, the atmosphere in Wu County has been a little tense and depressing, although Sun Jian has not done anything so far, but many people understand that Sun Jian will never swallow this breath like this.
His wife and children are in their own territory, and they are assassinated at the door of their homes, if Sun Jian doesn't do something, he won't be the Jiangdong Tigers who are powerful in the world, and everyone is waiting for Sun Jian's butcher's knife.
This butcher's knife seemed to hang from the necks of countless family clans, making their hearts uneasy.
……………………
In April, the spring rain began to fall in the land of Jiangdong, for several days, the light rain did not stop, and in the sound of ticking, the sky of Wu County was a hazy rain.
Sun Ce and Sun Hou, the chief housekeeper of the Sun family, walked into Sun Quan's courtyard with some hurried steps, Sun Quan has recovered well these days, and he can barely stand up, but his body is too weak, he still sits in a wheelchair, on the corridor, quietly looking at the spring rain, his eyes are a little deep, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
"Second brother!" Sun Ce's lion-like voice woke him up.
"Big brother, Uncle Hou, in such a hurry, have you found out?" Sun Quan came back to his senses at this time, looked at the two of them, his face moved slightly, and asked.
"That's right, Childe, this time we investigated the entire Sun family, plus the guards, two hundred and ten people, and found more than one ghost." The big butler Sun Hou bowed down.
There are not many masters of the Sun family, but the subordinates and guards add up, there are hundreds of people, and more than 100 of them are Sun Hou's henchmen from the Sun Mansion in Changsha, so naturally there is no problem, and the others are inevitably mixed with some dragons and snakes.
"Tell me about it." Sun Quan turned the wheelchair around, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, what he hated the most was the inner ghost.
"His grandmother is a bear, I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it." Sun Ce's expression was very angry, and he said loudly: "There are a lot of rats hidden in our house, just like this, we found more than a dozen, some of them are from the Gu family, some are from the Lu family, some are from the Gu family, and some are from the Fang ......family, which is a wealthy family in the north city."
"Childe, this is a dereliction of duty, and you must be more cautious in recruiting people in the future!" Sun Hou was a little ashamed and said, a Sun family mansion is actually like a rat's nest, hiding so many mice, he can't shirk his responsibility.
"This has nothing to do with you, we haven't been stationed in Wu County for a long time, and our foundation is not stable, and these deep-rooted families in Wu County want to insert a few eyeliners in us, it is very easy, it is inevitable."
Sun Quan is not surprised by this, if it is said that these families do not intervene in people, it is strange, after all, the current Sun family is the master of Wu County, and there is a wind and grass in Wu County, basically starting from the Sun family, they want to get first-hand information, and they can understand.
Now the question is who is the enemy, Sun Quan looked at Sun Ce and asked, "Have you found anyone who spread the news that Niang went to worship the Buddha?" ”
"I interrogated all these spies once and found them!" Sun Ce's expression was solemn, and a haze of murderous aura crossed him, and said: "The matter of my mother going to worship the Buddha was originally decided temporarily, and not many people knew about it, and it was leaked out by a woman in my mother's courtyard. ”
"Where did she come from?"
"A local gentleman from Wu County, the Zhang family, the Zhang family has a good background, there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city, and there are several farms, Zhang Chu, the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Chu's father is Mrs. Zhang, this old thing was in the Hengdi period, once did Xiapi County, and now the old lady Zhang is still there, so the Zhang family has a lot of influence in Wu County." Sun Ce's murderous intent soared to the sky and said coldly.
"Zhang's family?" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes.
There are also 369 and so on, the largest four families in Jiangdong have hundreds of history, and the family is knowledgeable, passed down from generation to generation, and it has been accumulated, followed by those influential scholars, and in the future they are local gentry.
The local gentry, a representative group of the landed population, clings to the local land and population, and the land and population are the foundation of their survival.
"Zhang Chu, the thief Cao of Wu County, I asked Gao Juncheng, Xu Gong had a good relationship with Zhang Chu when he was the governor of Wu County in Wu County." Sun Ce continued.
"Did the woman tell me anything? Let's hear it. Sun Quan rubbed his little head and got involved with the local gentry, this matter is much more complicated, I'm afraid it's not just a Zhang family.
"This woman is just a pawn, and she doesn't know much." Sun Ce shook his head and said.
"By the way, when I interrogated her with the eldest prince just now, I heard what she said, in the past few days, her master's family has arranged another task for her, asking for the eldest prince's itinerary." Uncle Hou thought about it and said hurriedly.
"Big brother?" Sun Quan glanced at Sun Ce, his eyes widened, and a green glow flashed in his eyes: "She wants the whereabouts of her eldest brother?" It seems that this Xu Gong is not giving up, he didn't kill me, so he hit the idea on the eldest brother, is this immortal? ”
He thought that Xu Gong should stop for a while in the shape of Wu County, but he didn't expect to be in such a hurry.
"Do you want to deal with me, they came just in time, and I was worried that I didn't find them." Sun Ce snorted coldly, and the thick killing intent in his eyes condensed.
"Uncle Hou, you go and do something." Sun Quan was silent for a while, then he looked at the housekeeper and said.
"Childe, please command!" Uncle Hou bowed down.
"You go and let that woman go, let her go back and report to her master, just say that the eldest brother has preliminarily controlled the evidence of the Gu family's thieves, and he will go to the Gu family tonight to meet the Gu family master!"
Sun Quan's mind was much more careful than before, and the corners of his mouth outlined a smile of Xiao Killing, and said: "You sue her, if she does this well, the previous things will be written off, and she will still be a member of the Sun family in the future, and the Sun family will settle all other things for her, but if she can't do it, I will let her whole family bury the guards of the Sun family who died in the temple in battle." ”
This woman is just a pawn, Sun Quan doesn't care, what he cares about is whether he can lure Xu Gong out
"No!"
Uncle Hou's heart was slightly cold, he felt that Sun Quan, who had picked up a life, was even more murderous, so he nodded quickly, and then walked out quickly to complete the task assigned by Sun Quan.
"Second brother, are you going to invite you into the urn?" Sun Ce's expression was slightly excited, and his fighting spirit was strong: "Lure them out, just catch them all." ”
"Big brother, I'm using you as bait, aren't you worried about your safety?" Sun Quan grinned and said speechlessly.
"Xu Gong? It's just a thief, how can he deal with me Sun Ce! Sun Ce raised his head and said arrogantly: "If you don't come, you will come, if you dare to come, you will definitely kill him." ”
Sun Quan looked at the high-spirited handsome young man, and said secretly in his heart: Maybe in the last life, Sun Ce died on this arrogance.
If a person is too proud, he is conceited.
"Big brother, don't underestimate Xu Gong, this person has a lot of support behind him, and he is despicable and has no bottom line, so it's very dangerous." Sun Quan persuaded him: "This time, you have to listen to my arrangement, and you must not act without permission." ”
"Huh...... No problem, I listen to you. ”
Sun Ce disturbed his head and smiled, but he believed in Sun Quan very much, and asked, "By the way, why do you say that I control the evidence of the Gu family's thieves?" ”
"This time, I not only want to invite you into the urn, but also lead the snake out of the hole."
Sun Quan squinted his eyes and said: "The Lu Gu family is the head of the scholar clan in Wu County, but the Lu family's forces are now in Lujiang, which is relatively peaceful, and it is not a big threat to us, but the situation of the Gu family is a little different, the center of gravity is all in Wu County, and the deterrent power is too great, I just want to see if this Gu family has been involved in this assassination." ”
If someone from the Gu family is involved in this assassination, it will undoubtedly be good news for the Jiangdong Army.
――――――――――――――――――
The night is deep, and the misty drizzle is still falling, dripping on the bluestone ground, making a ticking sound, which is very pleasant.
Wu County, has entered the curfew time, the surrounding city gates have been closed, under the drizzle, the streets and alleys, silent, quiet, can only from time to time, only see a group of Wu County soldiers in decayed clothes, patrolling.
