At night, Songjing.
The Wen Mansion welcomed a not-so-friendly guest.
"General, what do you mean?" Wen Yi asked.
Hundreds of people in the Wen Mansion, including the warriors guarding the courtyard, were all controlled.
Although Wen Yi is a high minister, he has only been granted the title for a short time after all. Whether it is the palace or the guarding warriors, they are still the same people as when he was a doctor.
Originally, in a place like Songjing, the most benign place in the Wu Kingdom, and an area where important ministers and nobles lived together, it was enough to have a dozen or so highly skilled warriors guarding the courtyard. Anyway, as long as they resisted a little and made some noise, it wouldn't be a problem. In a quarter of an hour, there will be soldiers patrolling the city to help.
But looking at the old man in front of him, Wen Yi had no hope for reinforcements.
"Do not be alarmed, Bachelor of Arts. I am here just to discuss with you the difference between great justice and small justice." Luo Gan's face was ashen and he said stiffly.
He rarely did this kind of thing that forced the whole family to die. Even if he did, it was done by his subordinates, and he rarely let his old man get his hands dirty.
It's just that Wen Yi's status is different. He is a nobleman with the rank of Qing, and cannot be handled by ordinary people. If he, Luo Gan, refuses to get his hands dirty, then King Wu Ketu himself will have to come forward.
"What's Wen's crime? What's the reason for this?" Wen Yi looked around. All the attendants and guards were unarmed and held aside. Although he didn't see his wife, concubines and children, his situation must not be much better.
Looking at such a posture, he would only believe Luo Gan's words if he was mentally retarded.
"Just because you said more words." Luo Gan sighed and said.
Wen Yi took a breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and said, "I would like to hear the details."
"General Lu Wulu's injury has actually healed long ago."
This sentence made Wen Yi's heart sink and his hands and feet became cold.
He was a strategist, how could he not know the dangers involved?
If everyone had followed the original plan and used luck to suppress Lu Wu during Feng Bo's time, he would have jumped up and killed him.
Let’s not talk about how many of Wu’s monarchs and ministers survived. Just being reduced to a laughing stock for thousands of years and probably going down in the history books makes people feel that it would be better to just die.
Luo Gan continued: "Fortunately, the king is kind-hearted. Remembering Lu Wu's role in protecting the sky, he left the city early in the morning and risked his life to persuade Lu Wu to leave early. Lu Wu was moved by the king and told him frankly."
Wen Yi: "Is the general coming?"
Luo Gan: "If it were just like this, I wouldn't come."
Wen Yi: "Oh, please clarify."
Luo Gan: "Nalu Wu was so moved by the king's sincerity that he was willing to exchange the land of the five southern prefectures for the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River."
Wen Yi: "How could he be so generous?"
Luo Gan: "He said it was because he was tired of the pain of traveling and did not want to repeatedly tangle with the Chu State in a land of hundreds of battles. He just wanted to find a stable place to settle down and live a leisurely life - do you think this is the truth?"
Although Luo Gan would never let Wen Yi go today, it did not prevent him from using Wen Yi's vision to see if Lu Wu had other agendas.
Wen Yi: "Hmph, how is it possible? This man has an ambitious mentality and unpredictable behavior. Just by looking at him turning his hands into clouds and rain, and forcing the Chu State into such a situation alone, you know that this man is definitely not a good person. . People like this who say they are willing to find a stable place to live a leisurely life are as ridiculous as a tiger willing to stay in a cage and wait for others to feed it."
Wen Yi scoffed.
Throughout Lu Wu's behavior, everything is unpredictable and almost without rules. However, one thing he has in common is that this person never wants to be manipulated by others, not even his own parents - in other words, this person does not want to be manipulated by others, not even his own parents. People have extremely serious rebellious psychology, and they can also be said to be born rebellious.
Luo Gan asked again: "Then do you think this person will keep his promise, or will he deceive the king?"
Wen Yi pondered for a moment, he really wanted to say that Lu Wu must have been deceiving the king with his words, and it would never be such a good thing, but he didn't believe it himself.
Arrogance is also a kind of reputation.
Seeing that Wen Yi was still silent, Luo Gan finally said: "Bachelor of Arts, Lu Wu still has one request -"
"Do you want me to put someone's head on someone's head? Or do you want everyone in our Wen family to die?" Wen Yi had already prepared. If it weren't for such a request, how could General Luo Gan come up and order people to control everyone in the Wen family?
"Well, that's not all. There are also the Ou family and the Lu family."
Wen Yi nodded and didn't make any gesture of begging for mercy. After all, it had reached such a point that begging for mercy would not change anything: "With that said, I do believe that Lu Wu is sincere in exchanging the five counties of Jiangnan."
The Wen family, the Ou family, and the Lu family were all veteran Wu aristocrats who had followed the previous king of Wu and escaped from Lanshui. Since they had lost their ancestral fiefdoms, they were extremely interested in the development of the new county.
In the past thirty years, the three families have invested a lot, occupying many official positions in the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and each has more than ten cities in their fiefdom.
If Lu Wu wanted a clean fiefdom, he would definitely attack the three of them.
In other words, since Lu Wu wants to attack the three of them, the statement that he wants the five southern counties should be true - after all, in the eyes of strategists like Wen Yi, the interests of those in high positions come first, and no one will because The slightest bit of verbal hostility can result in the murder of an entire family.
"That's right, so I invite the Bachelor of Arts to die." Luo Gan nodded and said.
Wen Yi nodded in agreement and said: "This is a matter of great justice. In order to regain the land of the Five Prefectures in the South, Wen is indeed willing to die! However, Wen also has a request. He also asked the general to send Wen to Lu Wu's army. Na Luwu personally ordered it.
In this way, not only can the champion speak out in person, but also the champion can be known as a tyrant and eliminate the three-point threat for the king. "
It goes without saying that Lu Wu was brave, but conquering the world is not just about bravery, it must win the hearts and minds of the people.
Originally, Lu Wu's method of torturing big families in the five southern prefectures of Chu State was scary. If he did it again in Wu State, those bastards would not be considered human beings, at least the scholar-bureaucrat class would never support this kind of behavior. of a violent man.
Luo Gan hesitated.
"Haha, Wen has decided to die with his family for the sake of justice. Is it possible that the king is reluctant to do so?" Wen Yi sneered.
The situation is stronger than the people. He is not a powerful general like Lu Wu who is rampant in the world. He cannot turn the tide. In fact, he can't even defeat the bad old man in front of him.
However, even in such a desperate situation, Wen Yi still racked his brains to find a way out.
The trouble should end it. Now, if anyone can save the Wen family, it is Lu Wu.
As long as he saw Lu Wu and had a chance to talk, even if he couldn't save his own life, he could at least save his wife and young son.
The next day, outside Songjing City, in front of Luwu's temporary camp.
There were over a hundred direct relatives of the Wen family, Lu family and Ou family, many of them, and they were escorted over by hundreds of soldiers.
You can't tie them up. After all, they all belong to the family of Qing and Dafu, and there is no clear crime.
Anyway, Lu Wu didn't say that he only wanted heads that day, so it was always right to send people over.
"Your Majesty Wen Daozhi came here to die. Please see the general." Wen Yi straightened his clothes and shouted.
Someone went in to pass the message.
Not long after, a group of people came out of the camp, but Lu Wu was nowhere to be seen. The leader was Mei Lan, Zhu Ju and other four girls.
"Wen came here to die, why did General Lu stand so proudly?" Wen Yi stood up straight and asked loudly.
"Since you have come to die, why are you talking nonsense? Count the number of people with me, cut off the heads and build a Jingguan. The general will wait to see it."
Hongmei didn't answer Wen Yi's words at all, and gave instructions directly.
