Soon, the prisoners who had been released with Zhu Ran were introduced into the house.
These people were not as bold as Zhu Ran. The moment they saw Sun Quan, they all knelt down to apologize.
As a defeated and captured prisoner, how can I say that I am not guilty?
Sun Quan was extremely generous and helped everyone up one by one.
There is absolutely no intention of blaming anyone.
Everyone was relieved and kept expressing their gratitude to Sun Quan for his kindness.
After the greetings, Gu Yong immediately stood up.
"Everyone, now I need to know what happened to you in Gangneung."
"Remember, as long as it has something to do with Liu Zhang and Lu Xun, it must be said verbatim!"
Lest anyone dare to say more, Gu Yong added another sentence.
"Whoever dares to hide anything will be killed immediately!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone panicked again.
Although the word "Li Zhan" did not come from Sun Quan's mouth, its intimidating power was no less than that of Sun Quan.
Who is Gu Yong?
He is not only a representative of the Gu family, the top wealthy family in Jiangdong, but also a close minister and favorite of Wu Gong and Sun Quan!
In Jiangdong, Gu Yong may not be able to kill whomever he wants.
However, it is easy to make someone unhappy and the family suffer accordingly.
For these newly released prisoners, Sun Quan must not be offended.
Next is Gu Yong.
Even Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong had to move to the side.
What's more, Er Zhang is eager for internal strife in the Jiangdong family.
Finally, Xie Jing and Li Yi stood up.
The two of them are small people in Jiangdong, and their families are not worth mentioning.
Not to mention wealthy people like Gu, Lu, Zhu and Zhang, even Zhu Ran was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
However, Lu Xun was kind to the two of them, and their conscience told them that they should tell the truth.
What's more, they didn't know what Zhu Ran said.
Naturally, I don’t think telling the truth will offend Zhu Ran.
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Gu, this is what happened..."
Xie Jing and Li Yi exchanged words with each other, complementing each other with what they knew and what the other had missed.
It restores to a great extent the entire process from the Battle of Hulugu to the release of Jiangling.
Of course, the scene of Zhu Ran crying for his father and mother begging for mercy was also deliberately hidden.
The two of them are not fools. Using their status to humiliate Zhu Ran in public is tantamount to seeking death!
Of course, this is only for Xie Jing and Li Yi.
If the target were Gu Yong, it would be completely different.
After learning the true process, Gu Yong's face became extremely gloomy.
"Zhu Ran, they can't borrow Wu Gong's reputation, only you can."
"They all managed to escape with Lu Xun's help. Only you relied on Wu Gong's reputation."
"This means that Duke Wu's reputation is only effective on you?"
Zhu Ran's face turned red and she was speechless after being retorted by Gu Yong.
Fortunately, Xie and Li did not tell the whole process.
Otherwise, I will be completely shameless!
"Yi Feng, you are so ridiculous!"
Sun Quan angrily scolded Zhu Ran.
Zhu Ran dared to hide something as big as Liu Zhang's march eastwards!
Is this a big deal?
Zhu Zhi also scolded him with anger in his eyes.
"Yifeng, you are too brave!"
The matter must be settled, and no matter how powerful Zhu Zhi is, he would not dare to turn the tables and leave a bad reputation.
Zhu Ran lowered his head, looking regretful and annoyed.
"Wu Gong, father, I was wrong..."
Seeing Zhu Ran take the initiative to admit his mistake, Sun Quan was immediately ready to forgive.
When you are young, your relationship will never change!
Zhu Ran is a die-hard supporter of Sun Quan, and Zhu Zhi has a lot of power behind him.
As long as it doesn't cause a catastrophic disaster, Sun Quan will not hold Zhu Ran too much accountable.
However, before Sun Quan could speak, Gu Yong snorted angrily from the side.
"Hmph! Zhu Ran, you are so brave! You framed Lu Xun and tried to harm the entire Lu family!"
"Tell me, who ordered you!"
As soon as these words came out, both Sun Quan and Zhu Zhi were confused.
Gu Yong unexpectedly elevated a small matter to the point where someone was instigating it behind his back.
At the same time, Zhu Ran was also confused.
He was just angry and wanted to take it out on the Lu family.
Where is the instruction?
"Master Gu, what are you talking about? I don't understand!"
"Can't understand?"
Gu Yong refused to let go.
"Is it okay if you don't understand? If the two generals hadn't told the truth, wouldn't the Lu family have been exterminated by you?"
"Don't be so slanderous!"
Zhu Ran was also angry and stood up to argue with Gu Yong.
"Let's not talk about this first. Let me ask, isn't the Lu family responsible for Lu Xun's surrender to the enemy?"
"Don't forget, Lu Xun is the patriarch of the Lu family!"
As soon as Zhu Ran finished speaking, a green voice came from the door.
"Not anymore!"
I saw a young boy striding in.
It was Lu Ji, the clan member of the Lu family.
He is also Lu Xun’s adopted father.
"Gongji, why are you here?"
Sun Quan immediately greeted him with a smile.
It is true that the head of the Lu family is Lu Xun, but the most popular person is Lu Ji.
After all, Lu Ji is Lu Kang’s biological son!
Lu Ji slightly bowed his hands.
"Mr. Wu, if I don't come here again, someone will exterminate the Lu family!"
Sun Quan quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Haha, don't joke about public achievements! In Jiangdong, who dares to destroy the Lu family? I will be the first one not to spare him!"
Lu Ji did not give Sun Quan any face and pointed directly at Zhu Ran.
"it's him!"
"this..."
Sun Quan was a little embarrassed.
The situation seemed to be getting out of hand.
At this time Zhu Zhi stood up and slapped Zhu Ran hard.
"You still haven't apologized to Mr. Ji!"
Zhu Ran was a little confused.
Why, as soon as Lu Ji appeared, everyone's attitude changed.
When Zhu Ran looked around again, he suddenly realized.
Standing beside Lu Ji were not only Gu Yong, but also the children of the Zhu family and the Zhang family.
Obviously, the four surnames of Gu, Lu, Zhu and Zhang are of the same spirit, advancing and retreating together!
At this moment, Zhu Ran finally realized how ridiculous he was.
"Yes... I'm sorry..."
"General Zhu, use your brain before speaking from now on!"
Lu Ji sneered and chose to let it go.
After all, I have to give Sun Quan some face.
"Haha, today was a misunderstanding!"
Sun Quan chuckled a few times and quickly revealed the matter.
"Gongji, is there anything else?"
Lu Ji nodded.
"Informing Duke Wu, the Lu family has decided to expel Lu Xun from the Lu family from now on, and I will take over the position of head of the Lu family."
"In order to make up for Lu Xun's fault, Lu Ji, on behalf of the Lu family, is willing to fully support Duke Wu."
Sun Quan's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed.
"Okay! With the help of public discipline, why worry about not succeeding?"
"Thank you, Mr. Wu."
Gu Yong also followed suit at this time.
"Mr. Wu, Lu Xun has also rebelled. It is better to send his wife away to temporarily stop the Qin army's attack."
"If the Qin and Wei families jointly attack Wu, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our army to resist!"
I thought Sun Quan would agree immediately.
Who would have thought, but he refused without hesitation.
"No, Lu Xun's wife cannot be released for the time being."
