After Chen Deng saw Lu Xuan, he saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Zhuge Liang's matter has been settled. The private soldiers of the Zhou family, Cao family, Peng family and Chen family have all been captured. But now, something has changed."
Lu Xuan asked: "What happened?"
Chen Deng replied: "After taking down the private soldiers of the four major families, Zhuge Liang had someone give him a knife, and then pretended to be unconscious and was on his way back to Shu County."
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows.
Somewhat unexpected.
Zhuge Liang's method of self-mutilation is indeed somewhat decisive, and he even hurt himself.
Lu Xuan asked: "How is the injury?"
Chen Deng replied: "The injury is not serious, it is just a cut on the left shoulder, leaving some blood and staining the clothes red. The wound will scab and recover in a few days at most. The people of Xiu Yiwei were careful in their actions, and it was not really injured. "
There was a flash of fire in his eyes.
Zhuge Liang committed suicide in order to make things worse this time, because Zhuge Liang, the magistrate of Nanjing, was assassinated and fell into a coma.
Things are different.
Lu Xuan nodded and let go of his worries.
He already understood Zhuge Liang's intention, and with the help of his coma after being assassinated, he wanted things to be serious and severe. If Zhuge Liang had nothing to do with it, Lu Xuan's handling would be average. As long as Lu Xuan deals with it ruthlessly, he can further achieve his goal of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger.
In fact, it can further help Lu Xuan unify the direction of moving the capital, so that no one will be ready to make a move.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Now that it's decided, let's take the people. Take all the people from the four major families. Zhou Xin, Peng Yuan, Chen Tang and Cao Xi will be taken directly to the execution ground outside Nancheng to be executed!"
"The homes of the four families were confiscated, and all the members of the four families were exiled to the southern border of Yuzhang County. In addition, when Zhou Xin and others were killed, I went there in person to further beat them."
"Here!"
Chen Deng agreed excitedly.
He returned to Xiuyiwei and arranged for people to pick up people from the homes of Cao Xi, Peng Yuan and Chen Tang.
Chen Deng took his people and went to Zhou's house in person.
When Chen Deng went to the Zhou family, he was in the Zhou family's study.
Zhou Xin is writing.
Everyone likes Cai Yong's Feibai style, but Zhou Xin only likes official script and is good at it.
The Zhou family is a large family in Kuaiji County. It has been in business for more than a hundred years and has a deep foundation. In the early years, he stamped his feet in Kuaiji County and shook his feet three times everywhere. After he became a disciple, he took charge of Danyang County and became even more famous and powerful.
However, he was defeated by Wu Jing in an instant and had to defect to Wang Lang. From being a prefect, he became Wang Lang's vassal.
There was a gap in Zhou Xin's heart.
When Gu Tong became the governor of Kuaiji County, Gu Tong, a young man, climbed onto Zhou Xin's head. However, Gu Tong was wooing the Zhou family while weakening the Zhou family's power. Eventually, Zhou Xin moved his family and came to live in Shu County.
He spent his family's money to buy some property in Shu County, hoping to live a comfortable life in Shu County. Unfortunately, everything in Shu County did not go smoothly, especially when he was beaten with a chessboard by Zhang Zhao, and many big families became even stranger to him.
As a person from a powerful family, seeing the poor men come to the fore, he felt unbalanced and extremely angry.
Especially for a young man like Zhuge Liang, who was so popular that he was favored by Lu Xuan and was entrusted with the important task of serving as county magistrate. Lu Xuan ignored a celebrity like him, making Zhou Xin even more unbalanced.
In the end, he hoped to choose Zhuge Liang as his son-in-law, but was still rejected.
Everything made Zhou Xin angry.
The world is unfair!
This is what Zhou Xin thinks.
Therefore, Zhou Xin teamed up with Cao Xi, Peng Yuan and Chen Tang, who were in bad situations, to deal with Fang Geliang.
Moving the capital had a certain impact on many ministers of the Wu State, but the impact was not significant. After all, these Wu officials were still powerful when they moved to the new capital. However, it has the greatest impact on the powerful local families such as the Cao family, Peng family and Chen family.
Your Cao family is in Shu County and has a lot of land and connections, accumulated over several generations.
After the capital is moved, although your land is valuable, Shu County is no longer the imperial capital, so the land price has dropped, and personal connections are no longer valuable. Because if you sell the land in Shu County and go to Nanjing to buy it, you won’t be able to get it with your contacts and influence.
The new capital city of Nanjing is a place where only those in power can benefit.
These people have lost a lot.
Zhou Xin wrote with deep anticipation in her eyes. In his heart, murderous intent was boiling, so the official script word "kill" with murderous intent was written quickly in his pen. The strokes were steady, the font tightened up and down, and stretched left and right, which was very beautiful.
"The sky sends murderous intentions, and the stars change their places; the earth sends murderous intentions, and dragons and snakes rise from the ground; people send murderous intentions, and the heaven and earth turn upside down. Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang, you must die."
"How can I take revenge if you don't die?"
"If you don't die, how can I gather people's hearts and gather around these people who resist moving the capital? If you die, you can't blame me. I can only blame you for not knowing the current affairs. If you become the son-in-law of my Zhou family, everything will be easy."
"You deserve to die."
Zhou Xin murmured to himself, looking very determined.
He thinks it will succeed.
While Zhou Xin was looking forward to it, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the room. The housekeeper rushed in in panic and said loudly: "Master, something serious has happened. Chen Deng, the commander of the Xiuyi Guard, led his people to surround us. Zhou family."
Zhou Xin's complexion changed suddenly.
Xiuyiwei is a thug under Lu Xuan's command, specializing in detecting lawlessness and targeting powerful families.
Zhou Xin suddenly thought of the assassination of Zhuge Liang, her eyes were a little worried, and she murmured: "Did the assassination be leaked? Impossible. How could the assassination on water be leaked? It's absolutely impossible."
Zhou Xin muttered to himself, thinking that the Zhou family was surrounded and there was no way he could escape, so he straightened his clothes and strode out. No matter what, let's go and see what's going on?
Zhou Xin led the housekeeper out. Not far from the study, she met Chen Deng who rushed in with someone.
Zhou Xin said with a cold face and the attitude of a scholar: "Chen Deng, what do you mean by bringing the embroidered guard here?"
Chen Deng looked at Zhou Xin who was putting on an airs and smiled coldly.
He had also heard of Zhou Xin's reputation before. Relying on the support of the Zhou family, this man went to Luoyang to build his reputation, and was immediately appointed as the governor of Danyang. However, Zhou Xin's ability was very ordinary and he was driven back to Kuaiji County.
Now, things are happening in Wu State.
Chen Deng didn't say anything, but kicked Zhou Xin on the butt, knocking Zhou Xin to the ground.
Zhou Xin fell to the ground and said angrily: "Chen Deng, you have acted as a talisman and aided the tyrants, and now you wantonly broke into my house. If the news spreads, you will definitely be attacked by countless people."
Chen Deng kicked Zhou Xin in the abdomen again.
After one kick, Zhou Xin screamed and curled up, his face full of pain.
Chen Deng looked down from a high position and said coldly: "Zhou Xin, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing but yourself. You have joined forces with Peng Yuan, Cao Xi, and Chen Tang to murder Zhuge Liang. The private soldiers of each family are on the Yangtze River. Go up and get them all."
boom! !
Zhou Xin's head seemed to be hit by a hammer.
Completely confused.
He fell into a brief trance, as if he couldn't feel the pain or everything around him.
Zhou Xin's eyes were a little panicked, and suddenly a look of urgency appeared in his eyes, and he said loudly: "I want to see King Wu, I have something to say."
Chen Deng sneered and said: "You guys who lack brains are so self-righteous. When nothing happens, you take chances, have a strong desire for revenge, and want to kill people. When something happens, you want to ease the relationship and ask for forgiveness."
"Is it useful to apologize after killing someone?"
"The assassination of Zhuge Liang has been proven conclusively.
"Today, the Zhou family was ransacked and exiled to the southern border of Yuzhang County. As for you, Zhou Xin, you will be executed outside the southern city. The king will personally execute you."
The cold words entered Zhou Xin's mind,
Zhou Xin was so frightened that he peed.
A puddle of water appeared on the ground, and he had a panicked look on his face.
"waste!"
Chen Deng scolded.
This kind of person is pretentious and thinks that he has a high status and ability, but in fact he has high ambitions and low abilities. There are simply too many people like Zhou Xin executed in his hands.
"Take the people away, seal the Zhou family, and control everyone in the Zhou family."
Chen Deng gave the order.
Xiu Yiwei acted quickly, stepped forward and dragged Zhou Xin away. Chen Deng led the people out of Zhou's house and went directly to the execution ground outside Nancheng.
