After returning the defeated Han troops who had been hiding in the city back to the public security bureau, Lu Xun was not idle.
Lu Xun and several followers walked incognito in the streets and alleys of Zhouling City.
Lu Xun wanted to observe with his own eyes whether his previous actions had restored some people's support in Zhouling.
The first place Lu Xun came to was the wine shop in Zhouling City.
In a city, wine shops have always been a mixed place, but they have always been the place where public opinion can best be reflected.
Lu Xun, who turned into a businessman, found a secluded place in the wine shop. While tasting the local wine in Zhouling, he quietly listened to the comments of everyone in the wine shop.
At the beginning, perhaps out of fear of the Wu army that was constantly patrolling the city, everyone in the wine shop seemed quite restrained.
Most of what they talked about was their own people's livelihood matters.
But as time went by, and as more and more drinks were consumed in the stomach, some remarks related to Wu Jun inevitably appeared.
The first person to start was a scholar.
The scholar raised his head and drank a glass of strong wine, and then said to his friend in front of him:
"Mr. Wang County, you died unjustly!"
In the four hundred years since the Han Dynasty, it has become a common practice for scholars to discuss matters, not to mention being drunk. There is nothing that this scholar would not dare to say.
For Lu Xun, it was expected that civilian scholars would make negative comments on Wang Hong's death.
But what Lu Xun didn't expect was that when the scholar finished speaking, the person who responded to him was not his friend, but someone else in the wine shop.
"Hey! Who says it's not?"
"When the King of County was in office, he also took many measures to benevolent to us."
"It's a pity that good people don't live long. I didn't expect that he would die so miserably."
The person who said these words was a farmer.
As the farmer said, after Wang Hong took office, he vigorously promoted Mi Yang's land equalization system, which benefited many farmers like him.
At least to the farmers in Zhouling, Wang Hong was considered a rare good official in their lives.
But the farmer's agreement aroused the indignation of a drunken businessman.
"Do you know the reason why Zhu Huan killed King Wangxian?
Just because Mr. Wangxian scolded him a few times!
But as a minister of the Han Dynasty, shouldn't King Wangxian scold the thieves who invaded the country?
The king of the county died for his loyalty, but a general who cannot tolerate his loyal ministers, can he be a kind person?"
Loyalty is a very sacred word in this world.
Many people may not be able to do these two words, but many people will sincerely admire those who can do these two words.
And when people in the world have always had simple ideas, what evil deeds can't be done by those who kill loyal ministers?
At that time, Cao Cao was not afraid of people's words.
But when faced with Guan Yu's departure, Cao Cao apparently couldn't stop him.
On the one hand, it was because Cao Cao really cherished Guan Yu's talents, and on the other hand, Cao Cao knew that he could not kill Guan Yu who left in the name of loyalty.
Just like when Cao Cao killed many Han officials, he had to fabricate other crimes before killing them.
It's a pity that Zhu Huan did what Cao Cao didn't dare to do back then.
Zhu Huan's actions violated the values of the world to a great extent. If he was not scolded, who would be scolded?
The important thing is that Zhu Huan's identity is unusual.
He is the pioneer general of Soochow, and his actions will affect Wu Jun's image in the hearts of the world.
And the businessman's words indeed aroused the common indignation of everyone in the wine shop.
Even Lu Xun looked sideways.
Lu Xun could ignore what the scholar said, and pretend he didn't hear what the farmer said.
But he couldn't take the businessman's words lightly.
Because businessmen usually travel between different places.
At that time, there was little information available, and most of the news local people knew from other places came from the mouths of businessmen.
If businessmen are all indignant about Wang Hong's death, one can imagine how bad Wu Jun's image will be soon after they spread word of mouth.
But there were all kinds of people in the wine shop, and there were still people who wanted to defend Wu Jun.
"General Lu, didn't you dress up Lord Wang Xian's body and restrain it? It can be seen that..."
Unexpectedly, before this man finished speaking, a scholar asked angrily:
"First do evil and then do virtue. Can it be called benevolence?
The King of Wangxian County was a Han official, but his body was taken into custody by the enemy and was not allowed to enter the Han Dynasty’s land. This can be said to be a good move!"
The scholar's words made the person who wanted to defend Wu Jun speechless, and in the end he could only hide his face in shame and retreat.
At the same time, Lu Xun was also trying to hide his face and retreat.
Lu Xun reached out and stopped, trying to get up to vent his anger on the attendant.
Looking at the attendant's puzzled eyes, Lu Xun sighed leisurely:
"It's not too late to look after the dog when you see a rabbit; it's not too late to mend a lost sheep.
Most of the words of the ancients are just a comfort.
If the people of Zhouling feel this way, they are just crying out for help!"
After sighing, Lu Xun seemed to have aged ten years.
He stood up and left the wine shop without looking back.
...
The Han troops who were released from Zhouling soon returned to the outside of Gong'an City.
Guan Ping learned that Zhouling's defeated army had fled back outside the city, and he immediately realized that something big had happened in Zhouling.
After checking that the identities of the defeated troops were correct, Guan Ping couldn't wait to bring the defeated troops into the city and asked carefully about the situation in Zhouling.
From the mouths of those defeated troops, Guan Ping learned the news of the fall of Zhouling and the death of Wang Hong.
Before Guan Ping could react from the shock, the news spread throughout the Public Security City at an extremely fast speed.
"What? Mr. Wang County is dead?"
"Wang Xianjun is a good friend of Da Sima, but you didn't protect him?"
"Damn Wu Gou! In addition to taking my city, you also want to kill my loyal ministers. Which one is intolerable?"
"It's ridiculous, that kid Lu Xun is still pretending to be Shi Hui.
Could it be that Wang Xianjun’s death was faked?”
"Loyal ministers will die miserably. Do we still hope that Wu Gou will be merciful to us in the future?"
For a time, there was an uproar in the public security city, and everyone was talking about the Zhou Mausoleum.
Among the many comments, there was undoubtedly an element of anger, including those of the defeated soldiers of Zhouling who had received Lu Xun's favor.
Normally, one should be grateful when receiving favors from others, but what if this favor is full of conspiracy?
After a short period of excitement, an idea naturally emerged in the minds of the people in the public security city:
"Wu Dog is a wolf that invades your home and must be driven away!"
This time there was no instigation from Mi Yang, but the public security, and even the hearts of the people in the surrounding counties, were as firm as they were during the public security war.
Wang Hong is not a big shot, but that doesn’t mean he can’t do big things!
As time passed, Wei Yan, who was located in Jiangling City, also learned the news of the fall of Zhouling.
So he silently took out from his arms a piece of advice that Mi Yang had given him long ago.
"If Wu Dog comes, then close the door and beat the dog!"
