Chapter 114
More and more housekeepers or servants appeared in the prefect's house, and everyone who heard the news looked at Lu Bu on the main seat with an angry face.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" The head of the Wu family was still wondering.
"Master, Master!" The slaves of the Wu family also came.
"Afu, why are you here?" asked the head of the Wu family, who was panicked.
"Master, it's not good, our family's grain store and granary are all covered, all!" The slave named Afu was breathing heavily.
"What's wrong?!" The head of the Wu family was anxious. Those grain stores and rice warehouses were his lifeblood. In troubled times, grain was comparable to hard currency, so many gentry replaced gold and silver for grain. If there was a problem with the grain stores and rice warehouses, then most of the Wu family would lose their wealth.
"Have you gone away? Or is it sinking?!" The head of the Wu family thought to the point of bad efforts.
"No, no!" Ah Fu shook his head.
"Then you said it!" The head of the Wu family hurriedly grabbed Ah Fu and stopped giving it to him.
"Cough cough cough cough cough!" After finally breaking away from his master's arm, Afu said that the grain store and rice basket were evacuated by the government army. In the evening, after the head of the family went to the prefect's mansion, teams of officials came to the grain store and asked them to open the door.
They were determined to refuse, but the knife in the hands of the leading general was shining with a cold light, which made them frightened and opened the door. Then the officials and soldiers moved the grain from the grain store in trucks.
"Empty?!" The head of the Wu family suddenly collapsed on the ground. "All gone?" The head of the Wu family grabbed Ah Fu and wanted to get this from Ah Fu's mouth. It was fake news, which was teasing him.
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 head of the Wu family grasped the key point. Wancheng has now been defeated by Lu Bu. There is only one official army that Afu mentioned. That is Lu Bu's army, and there is no one else except Lu Bu's army.
"General Lu!" The head of the Wu family was about to come forward to find Lu Bu, but it was not his turn to this outstanding man, and someone was one step ahead of him.
Chen Yao didn't politely step forward, but pointed at Lu Bu and shouted, "General Lu, why did you send troops to break into our grain store rice warehouse. Move him all away! He also killed my servants to destroy my rice warehouse!" Chen Yao's anger increased greatly. Not only was his grain store rice warehouse evacuated by all the people sent by Lu Bu, but he was also killed by the soldiers of Lu Bu's army. In the end, the rice warehouse was burned.
He thought Lu Bu was plotting for him again and thought he wanted to lower the food price, but who knew that Lu Bu was doing it directly for him to act.
"That's right, General Lu. What's the difference between your behavior and a robber?" This is the head of the Liu family. 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 property instantly shrank by more than half. The Liu family's current achievements were accumulated by several generations. Who knew that it would be gone in one night.
"General Lu, you must give us an explanation!!"
"That's right, even if you are the Lord of Wan City, you can't force yourself to take over. If you don't give us an explanation, we won't leave today!"
"Excuse me?" Lu Bu looked at the nobles and nobles who pointed at him and scolded him one by one. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Chen Yao said that his granary and rice shop had been emptied. A servant died? The warehouse was burned?
That was his own fault! The servant? That was the servant, that was the private soldier! Relying on the name of the Chen family, he was lawless and dared to show off his weapons when the army arrived. That was asking for death!
"You want to explain it, right?" Lu Bu walked towards the heads and patriarchs of these gentry and wealthy families step by step. Every time he took, his face became colder. This coldness was a look of looking at the dead. How could these gentry and wealthy families have encountered these gentry and wealthy families?
One by one, they subconsciously avoided Lu Bu's eyes.
"I will explain it to you!" Lu Bu said calmly, "What do you say when I lead someone to borrow food and grass from you? Come on, Master Wang. You say it first!"
The Wang family wanted to shrink backwards, but Lu Bu named him.
"General Lu, I!" The head of the Wang family also wanted to question Lu Bu like Chen Yao, but he did not dare to look at Lu Bu, so he could only repeat it several times in one son.
"If you don't say it, then you will be the head of the family!" Lu Bu turned his eyes to another patriarch of the wealthy clan.
"You, me!" The head of the Cheng family also got Kaven, and he didn't know what he should say.
"Don't you say it? Okay, let me do it!" Lu Bu was more than nine feet tall. That is, he is a little over two meters now. He is a master of standards in this world, not to mention that at the end of the Han Dynasty, walking among these heads and clan leaders was a flock of cranes.
Although he was wearing the general's clothing for home, his majesty was not changed at all.
"Didn't the head of the Wang family say that the family can't get rid of the pot? Why did you clear out a total of 5,000 stones of grain from your Wang family's grain store?" Lu Bu said coldly as he looked at the head of the Wang family.
"That's because!" The head of the Wang family wanted to defend himself, but he was too embarrassed to say anything.
"No need to explain, I understand! Isn't it because I, Mr. Lu, aren't you seen me?"
"There is also the head of the family! What a long time ago, I haven't tasted oil and water! What you want to eat is nothing. So, those people, those soldiers, and I, Mr. Lu, are the pig food?" Lu Bu raised his sword-brow.
"I saw the food on this table! I know you can't eat it! Because in your opinion, these are all eaten by servants, but sorry, I, Mr. Lu, eat these on weekdays!"
"As for the head of the Liu family!" Lu Bu looked at the leaders of these gentry. "A relative of the Han Dynasty, the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, the entire Wancheng called you Liu Bancheng. You actually gave me two hundred stones of food and grass. Are you serving beggars? Do you think I, Lu Bu, are you easy to bully? Open your Liu family's granary and I found that calling you Bancheng is deprecating you. A total of 50,000 stones. The tax burden of this Wancheng in a year is only more than 5,000 stones. A granary can actually be worth ten years of taxes in Wancheng. Haha, you tell me that you are in a turbulent time?!"
"Is this the reason why you, Lu Fengxian, forced us to take food and grass!" Chen Yao stood up. Others might be afraid of Lu Bu, but he was not afraid. He and Lu Bu had a grudge.
"That's right, is it my intention to wait for me to wait? If you send troops directly, it's robbers!" With Chen Yao taking the lead, these gentry patriarchs continued to shout, and the food was mostly worth half of their wealth, and only those who were engaged in salt and iron were the least losses.
"Oh, that's your wish? Yes, I didn't force you. Donate if you want to! If you don't want to, I don't force you. Even if I have food and grass, I will give you double compensation. What else do you want!" Lu Bu said calmly.
"You didn't force us, but you snatched our granary and emptied our rice shop!" Chen Yao fought against each other.
"Oh, right? It's your business whether you are willing to donate or not. It's my business whether I'll rob it or not!"
"You are a robber, a thief!"
"Haha, I'm a robber, a thief, how about it! Do you want to bite me?" Lu Bu didn't know why he was influenced by Liu Mang after staying with Liu Mang 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'll bully you, how about it? I tell you, you're shameless! I'll borrow it from you, you don't want it, you have to force me and you to be serious! I know you are thinking about Sun Ce, the Jiangdong Army, and I think that I, Lu Bu, will find it difficult to defend this Wancheng without food and grass, and I will be able to drive me out at that time! Yes! Your idea is good! The Jiangdong Army is much stronger than my Lu Bu's army! But there is one thing you have forgotten! Here! Wancheng, at least now, is my Lu Bu's territory. It's not your turn to point fingers here!"
"Slaves of the three surnames, father-loving people!" Chen Yao pointed at Lu Bu's nose and started cursing.
"Hmm?" Lu Bu's eyes narrowed. Are Chen Yao and Chen Rui the same virtue? "Do you know how your brother died?!"
"If you kill my brother, you still want to kill me? Come on, come on? If you kill me, I see how you can gain a foothold in Wancheng and Lujiang!"
"General Lu, don't mislead yourself!" Liu Kai also spoke. Although he wanted to watch Chen Yao and Lu Bu collapse, he didn't want Lu Bu to kill Chen Yao.
"Do you think so too?" Lu Bu asked, looking at the gentry below.
Looking at the eyes of disdain for themselves.
Lu Bu smiled, "Since you all think so, then it seems that I am sorry for your expectations if you don't kill him!"
"You...!" Chen Yao couldn't speak before he could speak. He finally knew how his brother died, and finally knew why the purple skin on his brother's body appeared.
Lu Bu threw Chen Yao's body aside like throwing garbage, "Transfer our military orders to siege the Chen Mansion, and all the Chen family members were killed without leaving a single family!"
