More and more housekeepers or servants appeared in the prefect's mansion, and everyone who heard the news looked at Lu Bu who was on the throne with an angry face.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?!" The head of the Wu family was still wondering.
"Master, master!" The servants of the Wu family also came.
"Ah Fu, why are you here?" Patriarch Wu asked, Patriarch Wu panicked.
"Master, it's bad, it's bad, our food store and the granary are all covered, all covered!" The servant named Ah Fu panted heavily.
"What happened?!" The Patriarch of the Wu family was in a hurry. Those grain stores and rice warehouses were his lifeblood. In troubled times, grain was comparable to hard currency, so many nobles exchanged gold and silver for grain. If there is a problem with the grain bank and the rice warehouse, most of the Wu family's wealth will be lost.
"Water? Or is the ground submerged?!" The Patriarch of the Wu family tried to think about the worst.
"No, no!" Ah Fu shook his head.
"Then you said it!" The head of the Wu family grabbed Ah Fu anxiously and stopped sending him off.
"Cough, cough, cough!" After finally breaking free from his master's arm, Ah Fu said that the food store and rice warehouse were emptied by the army. In the evening, after the master went to the prefect's mansion, a Team after team of officers came to the food store and asked them to open the gate.
They refused intentionally, but the knife in the leading general's hand was shining coldly, which made them terrified, and they couldn't help opening the door. After that, the officers and soldiers removed the grain from the grain store by cart.
"Evacuated?!" The Patriarch of the Wu family suddenly collapsed on the ground. .
But he was disappointed, "It's all gone!" Ah Fu nodded, "It's the old lady, it's the old lady who asked me to come to you!"
"Official army, official army!" The Patriarch of the Wu family grasped the important point. Wancheng has now been brought down by Lu Bu. There is only one official army that Ah Fu said, and that is Lu Bu's army. There is no one else except Lu Bu's army. up.
"General Lu!" The Patriarch of the Wu family was about to step forward to find Lu Bu, but this early bird couldn't turn to him, and someone was one step ahead of him.
I saw that Chen Yao didn't salute when he took a step forward, but pointed directly at Lu Bu and shouted, "General Lu, why did you send troops to break into the rice warehouse of our waiting grain store and move him out! You also killed my family and destroyed my rice warehouse!" !" Chen Yao became furious, not only was his grain store and rice storehouse emptied by the troops sent by Lu Bu, some people were also killed by Lu Bu's soldiers, and finally the rice storehouse was burned down.
He thought that Lu Bu would play tricks on him again, thinking that he wanted to lower the price of food, but who knew that Lu Bu would directly play tricks on him.
"That's right, General Lu, what's the difference between your behavior and a robber!" This is the Patriarch of the Liu family, and he suffered the greatest loss. Not only was one rice warehouse destroyed, but all three rice warehouses in Wancheng were emptied. , It can be said that the Liu family's family property has shrunk by more than half in an instant. The Liu family's current achievements are accumulated by generations. Who knows that it will be wiped out overnight.
"General Lu, you must give us an explanation!!"
"That is, even if you are the master of Wancheng, you can't take it by force. If you don't give us an explanation, we won't leave today!"
"Confession?!" Lu Bu looked down at the aristocrats who were pointing at him one by one, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, Chen Yao said that his granary and rice store were all emptied, and a servant died? Also burned down the warehouse
That is his own fault! servant? That's a servant, that's a private soldier! Relying on the name of the Chen family to be lawless, and dare to show their weapons when the army is present, isn't that courting death!
"Do you want to explain it?" Lu Bu walked towards the patriarchs and patriarchs of these noble families step by step. Every time he took a step, his face became colder. This kind of coldness is an expression of looking dead. How could the patriarch of the gentry clan and the patriarch of the wealthy clan have encountered it before.
One by one subconsciously avoided Lu Bu's eyes.
"I'll explain to you!" Lu Bu said indifferently, "What did you say when I led someone to borrow food from you! Come on, Patriarch Wang, you speak first!"
The Wang family wanted to shrink back but was called by Lu Bu's name.
"General Lu, me!" The Patriarch of the Wang family also wanted to question Lu Bu like Chen Yao, but he didn't dare to look at Lu Bu, so he could only repeat it several times.
"If the Patriarch Wang doesn't say it, then you, the Patriarch, will say it!" Lu Bu turned his attention to another patriarch of the rich clan.
"You, me!" The owner of the married family also got stuck, and he didn't know what to say.
"Don't you guys say it? Well, let me do it!" Lu Bu is more than nine feet tall, which is a little over two meters now. Inside, it stands out from the crowd.
Although he was wearing a general's uniform at home, his majesty did not change at all.
"Didn't Patriarch Wang say that the family can't open the pot? Why did you clear out five thousand shi of grain and grass from your Wang's grain store?" Lu Bu looked at Patriarch Wang and said coldly.
"That's because!" The Patriarch of the Wang family wanted to argue but was at a loss for words.
"No need to explain, I understand! Isn't it because I, Mr. Lu, are not seen by you!"
"There is also the family leader! It's been a long time since I tasted oil and water! What you want to eat is without oil and water, so what those people, those soldiers, and me, Mr. Lu, are eating is pig food! "Lu Bu raised his eyebrows.
"Look at the food on this table! I know you can't eat it! Because it seems to you that it's for servants to eat, but I'm sorry, I, Lu, eat this all day!"
"As for the head of the Liu family!" Lu Bu looked at the leaders of these gentry clans, "Clan of the Han family, after King Jing of Zhongshan, the whole city of Wan called you Liu Bancheng, and you actually gave me two hundred stones of grain and grass. Beggars! You think I, Lu Bu, are easy to bully, don’t you? When I opened your Liu family’s granary, I found out that calling you half the city is to belittle you. A total of 50,000 shi, the annual tax burden of Wancheng But there are more than five thousand shi, and your granary can be worth ten years of taxes in Wancheng, hehe, you tell me that you are in troubled times and depression?!"
"Could this be the reason why you, Lu Fengxian, forcibly took our food and grass!" Chen Yao stood up. Others might be afraid of Lu Bu, but he wasn't. He and Lu Bu had a grudge.
"That's right, it's my will not to give food and grass? You send troops directly, that's robbery, that's robbers!" With Chen Yao taking the lead, these patriarchs of the noble clan continued to clamor. Also only those engaged in salt iron losses are minimal.
"Oh, is that your wish? That's fine, I didn't force you, you can donate if you want! If you don't want to, I won't force you, even if I have food and grass, I will give you double compensation, what else do you want! " Lu Bu said indifferently.
"You didn't force us, but you robbed our granary and emptied our rice store!" Chen Yao confronted each other.
"Oh yeah? It's up to you whether you want to donate or not, and it's up to me whether I go and grab it!"
"You are a robber, a bandit!"
"Hehe, I'm a robber, a bandit, how about it! Are you going to bite me!" Lu Bu didn't know why he was influenced by Liu Mang after staying with him for a long time.
"You, you, Lu Fengxian, don't bully people too much!" Chen Yao almost pointed at Lu Bu and scolded him.
"I just bullied you, how about it? Let me tell you, you are shameless! I borrowed from you, you don't want it, you insist on forcing me to get real with you! I know you are thinking about Sun Ce, you are thinking Thinking about the Jiangdong Army, thinking that without food and grass, it would be difficult for me, Lu Bu, to hold this Wancheng and this Lujiang River, and then I would be able to drive me out! Yes! Your ideas are right! The Jiangdong Army is also much stronger than my Lu Bu Army! But you have forgotten one thing! Here! Wancheng, at least for now, is my territory, Lu Bu, here I am the master, and it is not up to you people to point fingers!"
"Slave with three surnames, father-addicted!" Chen Yao pointed at Lu Bu's nose and cursed.
"Huh?!" Lu Bu narrowed his eyes. Are Chen Yao and Chen Rui the same virtue? "Do you know how your brother died?!"
"Kill my brother and still want to kill me? Come on, come on? Kill me and I'll see how you can gain a foothold in Wancheng and Lujiang!"
"General Lu, don't make mistakes!" Liu Kai also spoke. Although he wanted to see Chen Yao and Lu Bu fall apart, he didn't want Lu Bu to kill Chen Yao.
"You think so too?!" Lu Bu asked looking at the gentry below.
Looking at a pair of eyes full of disdain for him.
Lu Bu laughed, "Since you all think so, then it seems that not killing him is a disappointment to your expectations!",
"You...!" Chen Yao was speechless before he could utter a word of dare. He finally knew how his brother died, and why his body had a purple complexion.
Lu Bu threw Chen Yao's body aside like trash, "Pass down our military order to besiege the Chen mansion, and not one of the Chen family's children will be killed!" (To be continued.)
