The person who really breaks the deadlock is, as expected, the person with absolute force.
"Put down your things for me! I am Zhu Huan, the Marquis of the Pavilion of Xincheng! Who built the palace in the pavilion!"
The regular army really came - because the street itself was a bit congested, some of the people watching the excitement had not dispersed, and some were in the center of the chaos. Therefore, when Zhu Huan led his army to the scene, there were originally nearly three thousand people.
There are only a thousand soldiers and horses at the side at the moment.
But...it's still more than enough to deal with some mobs.
Lu Xun and others seemed to have too much tacit understanding. As soon as they heard Zhu Huan's voice, everyone who was on Lu Xun's side shut up at the same time.
Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others suddenly squeezed out of the mixed team and stood next to Sun Quan as if nothing was wrong.
Only the mob fishing in troubled waters and the former Jianye officers and soldiers who were playing a real-life "werewolf" game were still fighting together.
One moment, this person shouts "I caught the mob!" and the next moment, the other person shouts, "You caught a piece of shit! That's one of our own!"
In short, the scene seemed chaotic, but it was actually much better than before.
Zhu Huan, wearing armor and holding a sword, strode to the front door of the pavilion. He stabbed the ground with the spear in his hand, and the deafening sound shocked everyone present to retreat.
"I'll arrest anyone who doesn't stop! Anyone who fails to prove their identity afterwards will be killed!"
"Here!"
After this order was finally issued, the more sober officers and soldiers naturally stopped, even though the mob opposite him was picking off his pants - and the people who knew that the disaster was coming fled in all directions, but the entire Qingluan Pavilion had been destroyed.
The mob was so surrounded that they fled out of the pavilion like headless flies and were captured on the spot. However, there were also confused officers and soldiers who thought the mob could escape and chased after them. However, they were also pushed to the ground. That was an example.

——
After the dust and smoke cleared, in the messy Qingluan Pavilion, Zhu Huan stood alone at the door, resembling a door god.
He glanced around and saw a strange scene - Lu Xun, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and other acquaintances gathered around the pale-faced Sun Quan.
On one side of the pavilion, there was a lunatic who was still crying and screaming, and there were two men in tattered clothes who could still be recognized as military generals.
"My lord, I'm sorry that I'm late in suppressing the chaos - if I hear your message from the messenger, if there is no objection, I will arrest the traitor Zhou Yu and bring him to justice..."
"You...what are you talking about?"
Sun Quan was obviously frightened.
Similarly, the "madman" who was sitting on the ground crying and howling also stuttered and said:
"Wha...what traitor? I...when did I become a traitor?"
"Huh? This disheveled beggar is the Grand Governor?"
Zhu Huan's face was full of doubts, and then he saw the familiar face under the "thatched head".
"You...you are the beggar! Zhu Huan! Your whole family is a beggar!"
Zhou Yu cried and howled, reacting violently to such a trivial matter, but he forgot what he should do most.
He was already delirious.
When Zhu Huan, who was already irritable, heard Zhou Yu insulting himself and his family, veins popped up on his forehead——
"No...General Zhu Huan! Don't get excited! The Governor is very mentally unstable right now! I...I can testify that he...he has absolutely no treasonous behavior! There must be...there must be some misunderstanding!"
Lu Su was still dazed just now, but now that he understood the situation, he rushed to the scene and resumed his role as a good old man.
"Lord!"
He turned back anxiously, his fists clenched tightly due to nervousness, and his pleading eyes seemed to express his ardent hope for Sun Quan to come forward and explain.
Sun Quan relented... not entirely because of Zhou Yu's image... He was also full of doubts about everything that had happened in the past few days. He always felt that he was being coerced to move forward. Now he was on the edge of the cliff. What could he say?
I have to hesitate for a while.
But...it has come to this time, and old guys like Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong are not vegetarians.
At this stage of the plan, the two cooperating parties have already parted ways. Next...it depends on how they act and use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take back what belongs to them.
This is the core concept of this plan - win-win.

"Ahem...Don't panic, everyone. The master was frightened earlier and it is understandable that he cannot give normal orders at this moment."
"Besides, everyone has also seen the evidence that Boyan presented before - with nearly fifty people present who can testify for this, I think that this is the critical time for our ministers to strengthen their faith and point out the direction for the confused lord.
.”
"General Zhu Huan has just arrived at the venue, and he is still a little unclear about the situation. I have a suggestion, which is also the best way to eliminate the differences in the venue-"
Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and said with a kind smile:
"In this case... my colleagues who agreed to temporarily detain the governor in prison to observe the situation, please take a step back!"
It can only be said that Zhang Zhao is worthy of being a veteran in official circles and even in the world of human relations.
He did make a fool of himself during the war, but as long as this was put aside, he could easily control the situation by standing among the crowd.
He seemed to be unifying the opinions of the people present in a discussion tone, but in fact he was threatening to kill two waves of people with one word.
Things like "being unable to give orders", "pointing the direction for the Lord", and "proposing to eliminate differences" are all very straightforward words that took away Sun Quan's right to speak.
Sun Quan originally wanted to explain something, but... he couldn't withstand the current situation after all... He was too weak. Although he had once taken the initiative in the past two years, after being hit again and again by Liu Bei today, Sun Quan seemed to have lost it.
He lost all the momentum he had finally accumulated.
In addition, Zhang Zhao's so-called "proposal" - "temporary", "observation of the situation" and "step back" - was calculated to give those wavering officials a psychological comfort, implying that even if they choose
Wrong, Zhou Yu is only staying in prison temporarily. After careful observation, he will still be alive and kicking.
The reason why we go back instead of forward is a very simple psychological habit——
When everyone has expectations for the outcome, everyone knows how terrifying it would be to be watched by everyone if most people choose to retreat and stay where they are.
These few short sentences are all Zhang Zhao's calculations.
Zhou Yu was in extremely poor condition. Even if he really realized something, he was at an absolute disadvantage and had no right to speak, and there was no way he could change it.
Therefore...as Zhang Zhao retreated first, a large number of officials in the field retreated one after another.
Only Sun Quan and Lu Su were left in place...
"Captain...yes...I'm sorry..."
Pan Zhang's troubled face turned red. Finally, with a hasty apology, Pan Zhang dragged Zhou Tai and walked into the retreating team as if running for his life.
"Well... it is true that Zijing is willing to believe the Governor... But the result is like this now. If Zijing has his own considerations, I believe you can clear the Governor's name."
Zhang Zhao walked up to Lu Su with a smile, patted his shoulder gently, and then turned around and left indifferently.
Zhu Huan gave an order, and the heavily armed soldiers jumped into the pavilion and directly pushed Zhou Yu to the ground.
Sun Quan watched Zhou Yu being escorted out of the cabinet by his soldiers in despair, and only heard Zhou Yu's final hysterical shouting:
"Zhongmou! Zhongmou! Chase! Send people to chase! It's Marquis Lu Qing, everything is his conspiracy! Everything is..."
