Cities in the world may be different in their own way, but most of the prisons in the cities are very similar. They are dark, damp, infested with insects and rats, and fleas dance together.
Sun Ce walked into the prison slowly, not paying much attention to the filthy surroundings. He stood in front of a cell and looked at a middle-aged man in the cell.
"Why are you here?" Sun Ce said, "Xu Shijun, are you okay?"
The middle-aged man in the cell slowly turned around, raised his eyelids, glanced at Sun Ce, sneered, then lowered his eyelids and said, "Sun Erlang, why do you ask questions knowingly?"
Sun Ce is the eldest son, but also the second child. Above him, there is another eldest son, Sun Lang. The relationship between the Sun family is more complicated. In addition to Sun Jian's own children, there are also people from the Sun family, such as Sun Bi.
Sun Fu, etc., of course, in addition to cousins, there are also people related to Mrs. Wu, such as Wu Jing, Wu Fen and others.
When Sun Ce saw what Xu Gong said, he didn't take it seriously. He smiled slightly and then said, "In this case, Xu Shijun is in jail and has no understanding. It's a pity and a pity."
Xu Gong rolled his eyelids, looked at Sun Ce, suddenly laughed, and then sang loudly: "Beautiful! Wheel! Beautiful! Huanyan! Sing here, cry here, gather the clan here! Hahaha... God's will,
God’s will…hahahaha…”
Sun Ce frowned. He followed his father Sun Jian around when he was a boy. He never studied systematically and had no time to calm down and read any books. Naturally, he didn't know what Xu Gong meant by this sentence.
This feeling made Sun Ce feel very uncomfortable, so he gave up his interest in continuing the conversation with Xu Gong. After a moment of silence, he said: "Xu Shijun is so elegant and happy... That's it. If Xu Shijun has not been able to talk to Xu Gong in the past two days,
, when did you figure it out, sending a message to someone is..."
After saying this, Sun Ce walked out of the prison directly without waiting for Xu Gong's reply.
Xu Gong watched Sun Ce go away, laughed and shouted: "Erlang of the Sun family! The great Han Dynasty founded the country with loyalty! He established the country with righteousness! As a Han official, your father did not want to rescue the Han emperor. He only wanted to fight for power and gain, and murdered his colleagues to seize it.
Earth! This is unfaithfulness! When you were in desolation, you were accepted by Mr. Yuan and obtained his soldiers and horses, so that you can be where you are today! Now that Mr. Yuan is in trouble, you sit back and watch, only seeking personal gain! This is unrighteous! Your father is unfaithful, you are unfaithful!
It's unjust! The Sun family's loyalty and righteousness will last for thousands of years! The ancestors of the Sun family should be shamed by Jiuquan! If someone dies, he will die. Let's see how the descendants of the Sun family can be seen in the world! Hahahaha!
"
Sun Ce's face became darker and darker, and his steps gradually became slower. When he reached the door of the prison, he stopped and said in silence for a moment: "There is no need to wait any longer, we will end this beast tonight!"
The prison chief who was following him was stunned: "Master... this..."
"Huh?" Sun Ce turned around and glanced at the cell leader.
The cell leader trembled, and immediately bowed and responded: "I obey the order!" When the cell leader straightened up again, he saw that Sun Ce had already walked away.
The prison head stood there for a long time, sighed longly, and said: "Come here! Go and prepare some wine and meat to send to Mr. Xu..." After saying that, he shook his head and went back to the hut nearby. Although
He was obeying orders, but there was no guarantee that no one would be angry with him. Therefore, by giving him more courtesy, which was the so-called decapitation meal, he was doing his part. As for the rest, there was nothing more the prison boss could do.
.
Xu Gong, Xu Jing, Xu You, etc. are all famous people.
The so-called celebrities are not just those who have the ability and ability to become celebrities. If there is no family support, who will advocate for them and make them famous?
There are quite a lot of Xu Gong people in Yuzhou. In recent years, Xu Gong has been transferred to Wu County as the captain and governor. With Xu's status, how can he be like an ordinary Guizhou head and be crushed to death? No one would do it.
Pay attention? If you die in prison in such an unknown way, how can you let people outside accept it?
Accidentally died from playing hide and seek?
hehe.
Such a statement is simply an insult to other people's intelligence.
So as a prefect with two thousand stones, Sun Ce died in a cell like this. Did Sun Ce really not intend to give an explanation to the people around him?
Even the prison boss felt that this was not very appropriate. How could Sun Ce not know this? But for Sun Ce, it was not easy to explain, so he simply didn’t explain it.
Sometimes, not explaining is just an explanation. Blind explanation shows one's own guilty conscience.
To kill Xu Gong, not only was Xu Gong opposed to Sun Ce in terms of interests, but more importantly, because Xu Gong was born in Nanyang, he was not only connected with the Xu family and others, but also had some connections with the Yuan family and the Cao family.
Therefore, if Sun Ce wanted to break away from Yuan Shu's control, a group of people like Xu Gong would become a huge obstacle.
For Sun Ce, the stability of Jiangdong must come first at this stage, whether internally or externally. In fact, Xu Gong's plans may not be all for Yuan Shu or anyone else, but are also mixed with Xu Gong's selfish motives.
After all, Xu Gong was originally the prefect of Wu County. Although he has been driven out of his position, Xu Gong still thinks about it and hopes that one day he can regain the position of prefect. However, Sun Ce does not intend to let Xu Gong hold any position, so
It is inevitable that the dispute between the two people will not be reconciled.
In addition, Sun Ce doesn't have much time to deal with Xu Gong now. He still has competitors at home...
Mrs. Wu was sitting in the hall, looking at the green bamboos outside the icy window, which seemed peaceful and leisurely. But when she heard Sun Ce's footsteps outside the door, she turned her head and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Uncle
Fu is back?"
Sun Ce stepped forward, saluted, and said, "I have met my mother."
"Going to prison?" Mrs. Wu said, "Look at the smell of this body. Let's go change clothes and then let's talk..."
"Only..." Sun Ce's eyes moved, he nodded, and then retreated to the back hall. Although Mrs. Wu seemed to stay at home, almost no big or small matters in the entire family could be escaped.
Her eyes were like this when Mrs. Wu was still alive when Sun Jian was still alive, and they are even more like this now.
After a while, Sun Ce changed his clothes and returned to the hall.
"Sit down... Come here, get some iced sour plum soup for my son to relieve the heat..."
"Thank you, mother..." Sun Ce said.
Mrs. Wu smiled and said lightly, "We are all one family... Besides, now that I am an old mother, my health is not very good... You men are working hard outside, so I will make some soup at home."
So that you men can work with peace of mind..."
Sun Ce's heart skipped a beat.
In fact, Mrs. Wu doesn't like Sun Ce very much. The reason is actually very simple, because she is somewhat similar to Zheng Bojiang. After all, when Mrs. Wu gave birth to Sun Ce, it was her first child...
Then Sun Ce spent most of the time running around with Sun Jian, and actually didn't spend much time with Mrs. Wu. As a result, the relationship between Sun Ce and Mrs. Wu was not as good as Jiang's, but it was better than...
Strangers are just nicer, not much friendly.
Sun Ce smiled and said: "Mother, you are joking. Now that Jiangdong is in turmoil, I am struggling to support myself outside. If there is no more support from mother at home, I am afraid that the Sun family will be destroyed, and I am afraid it will only be a moment..."
"Really?" Mrs. Wu said, "There are still things that my Qilin'er can't handle?" Although Mrs. Wu said it lightly, her body stood up a little, and even the smile on her face dropped by three points.
The servant brought the iced sour plum soup. Sun Ce picked it up, took two sips, and then put it down. After watching Mrs. Wu ask the servants to leave one by one, he said slowly: "Now the Sun family is like a burning fire cooking oil.
, if I am a little careless...I'm afraid..."
Mrs. Wu's eyes narrowed slightly and she said: "Isn't my Qilin kid joking? Now that Jiangdong is in your hands, why are you worried?"
Sun Ce did not expect Mrs. Wu to change her attitude immediately and support him, but Sun Ce also hoped that at least at such a moment, nothing would happen internally, so Sun Ce came here today to persuade Mrs. Wu as much as possible to let him
She came forward to support her current plan.
Mrs. Wu's brother, Wu Jing, is now the prefect of Guangling, so Mrs. Wu's attitude is also important.
Although Mrs. Wu didn't like Sun Ce very much, Mrs. Wu didn't like it even more when the Sun family collapsed and she became a poor widow without a husband and no rights. So when Sun Ce came to her door, Mrs. Wu actually had some concerns in her heart.
.
"Bo Fu, what can you do?"
Sun Ce smiled and felt much more relaxed. Since Mrs. Wu could ask such an unkind word, it meant that she was willing to talk. If she is willing to talk, there is hope. If she continues to be polite like she just did,
Incomparable, on the contrary, it repels people thousands of miles away.
"I have ordered Xu Gong to be killed." Sun Ce said. He really didn't like Xu Gong at all, so he simply called him by his first name.
No mercy!"
Madam Wu nodded slightly. Although she didn't know much about military matters, she still knew a little about the general direction. As for killing Xu Gong, Madam Wu didn't say there was anything wrong with what Sun Ce did, but...
"The Xu family is a common surname in Yuzhou..." Mrs. Wu pondered for a moment, "But if we only kill Xu Gong, it doesn't matter..." No one has many enemies, and no one does anything wrong. Xu Gong did something wrong.
, just come out and carry it, and if you are killed, you will be killed. At most, you can say whether the killing is good or bad. "But now, the family is being confiscated and the clan is being exterminated... Although it is for safety, the killing is too heavy..."
Let Xu Gong's family go free, then if Xu Gong has any explanation with his family, and Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao are not completely defeated this time, then how can Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao learn about Xu Gong's affairs and let Sun Ce off easily?
Sun Ce Shen Ran.
"Just kill him..." Mrs. Wu looked at Sun Ce and said, "Now, how do you want to deal with my son?" Killing Xu Gong can only cover it up for a while, but it still depends on what choice is made now and how to go in the future.
For Jiangdong, they are just foreign surnames. These big surnames in Jiangdong are the key to the next step.
"The third brother is still young..." Sun Ce said, "but the second brother has reached the age of marriage..."
"Quan'er?" Mrs. Wu pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Sun Ce and said, "Just tell me what arrangements you have! But is it Zhou Gongjin's plan?"
"Mother..." Sun Ce raised his hands and said, "Gong Jin does everything he does with his heart and soul, and..."
"I'm too lazy to care about the mess between you and Gong Jin!" Mrs. Wu waved her hand and said, "I just want to hear how this guy arranged it?"
Sun Ce had no choice but to tell Zhou Yu's plan...
…………………………
A few days later.
Guangling.
In the government office in the city, the prefect Wu Jing looked at Sun Ce and was so surprised that he couldn't help himself, "Cer! Why are you here!?"
Sun Ce changed his original disguise, then took out the letter written by Mrs. Wu to Wu Jing and sent it to Wu Jing.
When Wu Jing saw the letter sent by Sun Ce in person, he naturally knew that the matter was serious, so he stopped asking questions. Instead, he opened the letter and read it carefully. After a while, his hands began to tremble slightly, and then he took a breath, and then
He glanced at Sun Ce, then read the letter from beginning to end, then lit it on a candle nearby, then held it up, and when the flames almost engulfed his hand, he dropped it on the ground and read.
It turned into patches of black ash.
"Ce'er..." Wu Jing shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Your personality...well, it's exactly the same as Brother Wentai...I don't know how my sister could agree to your plan..."
"Then...I don't know how to choose uncle..."
Wu Jing smiled bitterly and said, "How to choose? Are you, mother and son, prepared to let me choose? How else can I choose?"
Sun Ce smiled, bowed his hands, and said, "My nephew will never forget my uncle's kindness today!"
"Hi!" Wu Jing patted Sun Ce on the shoulder and said, "We are all a family, so what kind of words can I say... I just gave up the place I have been running for many years, and it is still a bit hard to let go..."
In fact, Wu Jing also received a position as Yuan Shu's military governor, and even the soldiers who came to Guangling were given by Yuan Shu. However, when Wu Jing arrived in Guangling, he changed his previous brave style and fought with Fan Neng who was entrenched here.
, Yu Mi, Zhang Ying and other inferior generals also fought back and forth, but they have not been able to conquer it for many years...
A few days later, Wu Jing, the governor of Guangling, led his troops and declared that Yuan Shu was immoral and abandoned his seal to return eastward.
I don't know when a huge group of water thieves arose in the Yangtze River waterway. They entangled themselves in Niuzhu, cut off the north-south traffic, and even harassed the place. At one time, they plundered the camp where Yuan Shu's subordinate Chen Lanlei Bo stored grain and grass, and the surrounding counties were in trouble.
Great terror.
Such thieves naturally need to be punished. However, even the second generation of the Jiangdong Tigers, Sun Ce, was injured while attacking the Niuzhu water thieves and had to temporarily form a camp to protect himself.
In the same year, Chen Lan Leibo, who had been robbed of grain and grass, was afraid that Yuan Shu would be punished for it. Seeing Yuan Shu's decline, he simply took the remaining grain and grass and entered Lushan Mountain, which became the last straw to overwhelm Yuan Shu...
