Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 259 The light of the righteous way shines on the vast land

The criminal chambers of Jiaozhou, Yulin, and Bushan City.

The torch exploded into a light, and a fierce light flashed in Shi Hui's eyes.

He said to Lu Xun coldly.

"General Lu, there is a saying in the Tao Te Ching, 'The wind never ends, and the shower never lasts all day'. No matter how strong the wind is, it will not last a morning; no matter how heavy the rainstorm, it will not last a whole day." God, when you attacked my Jiaozhou and slaughtered my Jiaozhou people, did you ever imagine that there would be such a day when it would fall into the hands of our scholars?"

"Winners and losers...why talk too much?" Lu Xun was tied up, and he still had no feeling in his legs. He needed treatment, but in the current situation, let alone treatment, he was afraid that he was about to receive a more brutal punishment.

"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, if you fall into my hands today, don't blame me for being cruel."

Listening to Shi Hui's words, Lu Xun just stared at him, powerless.

"come..."

Shi Hui was about to give orders, but Lu Xun asked tremblingly, "Can you tell me, where is my wife? Where is my son? And...and Gong Ji, the patriarch of my Lu family...he...is he still alive? "

"Your son is in another torture room!" Shi Hui looked at Lu Xun jokingly, like a big villain, and couldn't help laughing wildly, "Haha, what about Lu Ji? What kind of general is he with you?" Same, he was smashed into a pulp by stones, some members of your Lu family have already recognized him... As for your wife... well..."

Shi Hui deliberately hesitated to speak, he was provoking Lu Xun.

"What are you going to do? What are you going to do to my wife?"

"You'd better take care of yourself first!" Shi Hui ordered: "Come on, twenty sticks!"

The expressionless criminal came over to drag Lu Xun, but Lu Xun waved his hands in disgust, "Don't touch me!"

He suppressed the pride in his heart, and also suppressed the coming shame and resentment. He knew that resistance was futile. He slowly bent down and fell on the ground. Knocked down on the buttocks and legs.

Although Lu Xun was not pampered, he was still a distinguished son. It was the first time he had endured such physical punishment, and that leg was fine, and the other was beading from his painful forehead.

He could only grit his teeth and did not say a word. The twenty canes were quickly finished, and Lu Xun's back was already covered in blood.

The executioner walked away, Lu Xun gasped deeply, supported the wall tremblingly and knelt down, then stood up with difficulty, he looked at Shi Hui coldly.

This obviously did not achieve the effect Shi Hui hoped for.

You know, after the war between Jiaozhou and the Lu family this time, the Lu family's army won consecutive battles, and the number of Jiaozhou soldiers who died at Lu Xun's hands was more than a few thousand. Shi Hui wanted to avenge them today.

"These [-] sticks are just for General Lu to taste. Let's get a taste of it. Our Jiaozhou is not easy to bully. Now you know how good I am?"

"Your giant crossbow that can shoot [-] paces? Where did it come from?" Lu Xun asked, holding back the pain.

"What?" Shi Hui was taken aback.

Lu Xun smiled lightly, "Where do you in Jiaozhou have such ability to create such a magical weapon, it must be... Huang Laoxie? Isn't it? Isn't it?"

Lu Xun's eyes were sharp, and Shi Hui was startled by his words.

Shi Hui suppressed the anger after being seen through, and sneered: "General Lu is really admirable. Now that you are in prison, you can still worry about these things? But, you are now in our hands? Can you get out alive? ?”

"It's just that I want to be a sensible ghost..." Lu Xun faced the stern gaze of Shangshi Hui, and said indifferently: "It's not just a giant crossbow? Even... even captured Lu Ji and threatened me with him, It's also... that Huang Lao cults you too, right?"

Shi Hui's face turned blue, he didn't dare to reveal the relationship between Guan Lin and Huang Laoxie, he said coldly: "At this time, I still have a quick tongue, no wonder I have a heart like iron, hatred like a furnace, come... Hang me up, whip me, and let him talk nonsense!"

Soon...

There was a crisp sound of whipping in the torture chamber.

Shen Yun billowed in the sky, the sky darkened, and the muffled thunder came faintly.

...

"Ah-"

Not far away, Shi Xie and Shi Xie on the official road, they have received news that Yu Lin is defending, and the enemy general Lu Xun has been captured alive...

This made them breathe a sigh of relief briefly.

It is also a sigh of relief at the power of the eight-ox crossbow.

I also sighed, capturing the thief and capturing the king... Finally, the war in Jiaozhou has come to an end in stages.

But... just for an instant.

Shi Bian felt that something was wrong, and he suddenly thought of a bad thing.

——"Shi Hui, you won't beat Lu Xun to death, will you? 』

Yes…

This Lu Xun was the one Guan Lin wanted, and he was lucky that he didn't die on the battlefield or under the arrows of the eight bull crossbows, but he must not be beaten to death!

Considering the hatred between the Shi family and Lu Xun, this possibility exists!

"Ah..."

Thinking of this, Shi Xie sneezed again.

The soldier hurriedly urged, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

...

...

At dusk, Mi Fang commanded a group of coolies to carry stones on the Jiangling city tower.

Including Mi Fang, they were all dressed in ragged clothes... covered in mud, obviously the job of building a new city in Jiangling City was not easy.

Money, manpower, geographical environment, city design and planning, city structure, defense...

Weather, time, natural disasters, water supply and drainage systems, road facilities, foundation structure, waterproofing, area division...

After all, it was Mi Fang, the prefect of Jiangling City, this shrewd merchant, who felt overwhelmed for a while, and had to do many things by himself in order to understand the specific problems?How to speed up the construction period.If built impregnable.

Speaking of which, after Fu Shiren was handed over the sale of "Blood Bushi" to the north, Mi Fang finally had the energy to build this new city of Jiangling City.

Of course, Guan Lin's abundance of gold is also an indispensable condition.

Mi Fang raised her head, looked at the sky, wiped off her sweat, and there were tears in her eyes, which was standard pain and happiness. "Hurry up, see if you can work for another hour in this weather, work harder, and have dinner in an hour."

Mi Fang showed a rare persistence and talent for city building. For ten days in a row, the progress of building the new city of Jiangling City was rapid.

At this moment, just after Mi Fang commanded a group of coolies to move the stone, a staff member of Mi Fang's subordinate quietly walked behind him.

"Prefect Mi?"

"What?" Mi Fang recognized this clerk, who was in charge of purchasing stone materials for city construction, he was Mi Fang's confidant.

"Cough, cough..." The clerk coughed softly, and immediately lowered his voice, "The batch of stones that Eunuch Mi took a fancy to earlier cost a total of [-] gold...it's too expensive, even if Fourth Master Guan has a cornucopia, It can't be so wasteful, Xiaguan found a batch of slightly inferior ones yesterday, which looks exactly the same as the original batch, if..."

Speaking of this, the official's words came to an abrupt end...

Mi Fang's eyes were fixed, he took a step closer to the clerk, and lowered his voice, "What do you mean? This batch of stones was changed?"

"That's right!" The civil official nodded eagerly, "So, the extra 2 gold went into the pocket of Taishou Mi? The small ones...also..."

The clerk showed a look of open eyes when he saw Qian, and looked at Mi Fang happily.

In his opinion, it is absolutely impossible for the prefect Mi, who has always been greedy for money and profit, to give up such a profitless business.

but…

A strange thing happened, Mi Fang was still laughing at first, but at the end, his expression suddenly became cold.

"You dare—"

Mi Fang's eyes were wide open, and he said loudly, "I'm getting my own pockets? If I don't kill you, everyone will think that I, Mi Fang, are greedy and eager for quick success..."

Uh... Hearing Mi Fang's words, the clerk was dumbfounded.

A word rose subconsciously in his mind.

——"Prefect Mi, aren't you? 』

"Come on."

Before the official could figure it out, Mi Fang shouted.

"Prefect Mi." Immediately, several guards rushed over.

Mi Fang pointed at the clerk's nose and said: "This man tricked the prefect to cut corners and fill his own pockets with the building stones. It's unreasonable. You will take it down and behead it tomorrow at noon to show the public as an example to others!"

what…

Mi Fang's words made these guards dumbfounded. It is indeed a serious crime to bewitch the prefect, but it's not like...just beheading for public display, right?
How did these guards know what Mi Fang was thinking?

Damn, what is the purpose of building the two new cities of Jiangling and Changsha?
It was to prevent the sneak attack of that stinky and shameless Jiang Dong Biyan'er, and to prevent the backstabs of those rats.

Mi Fang is a vengeful person.

Even after thousands of miles, even after so many days, Mi Fang's hatred for Sun Quan and Soochow has not diminished, it is still enough to melt everything!

This new city is about guarding against these rats?How could he, Mi Fang, cut corners?

Even, the money is not enough, it is no exaggeration to say that he, Mi Fang, can afford it.

This is one of them.

Second, you must know that now [-]% of the income of this new city belongs to Mi Fang's "good third brother" Guan Lin.

And [-]% of it belonged to him, Mi Fang. If this was a project that could collapse at the touch of a button, would someone else be the one to do it?The one who cheated was him, Mi Fang herself...

Cutting corners, Mi Fang always felt that someone was stealing his money and provoking his majesty!

Therefore, when the official said that he cut corners and materials, three words popped out of Mi Fang's mind:

- "Your sister's"

Even if we take another ten thousand steps back, according to Guan Lin's concept, after the new city is built, Mianshui Villa, and even a large number of workshops, even the "blood is not wet" production workshops, will be moved to In this new city.

What if the new city is lost?Then... how much did Mi Fang lose?This number is unimaginable.

It is precisely because of this that whether it is from the face or the inside...

Mi Fang must severely punish this clerk as an example to others, and see who dares to use the money for building the city...

Damn, don't treat him as food for Mi Fang!
"What? What the prefect said is not working anymore?"

Seeing that the guard didn't respond, Mi Fang raised her voice...

At this moment, the guards hurriedly handed over their hands, and then dragged the clerk down the tower. The clerk was still dumbfounded at first, but when he was dragged to the city ladder, he realized the imminent catastrophe belatedly...

He shouted hysterically: "Prefect Mi... Prefect Mi..."

"Prefect Mi...you...can you hear me clearly? This is a good thing...you...when did you change? How did you become such a person!"

Ha ha…

Hearing this voice, Mi Fang just felt like laughing.

He raised his head quite upright, and said in a loud voice: "This prefect has always put righteousness first, and he has always been a person who gives up his family, works for everyone, and has noble feelings!"

"This kind of behavior of stealing chickens and dogs and stealing posts, how can this prefect join in? Huh, if one is found out, this prefect will deal with it, and I will definitely kill it!"

For a while, even if it is dusk, but Youzi's ray of righteous light will soon shine on the earth!

At this moment, another guard reported: "Prefect Mi, Mr. Yunqi brought a general named Hao Zhao, and he is watching the construction of the new city..."

"Hao Zhao?" Mi Fang pouted, and he quickly remembered, "Isn't that the Duqu Du among the captives who married the daughter of Pang and Xi's family? Why did Yunqi...why bring him to see this? He Do you know how to build a city?"

Even though she had such doubts, Mi Fang still hurriedly ordered.

"Quick, lead the way!"

Mi Fang seemed a little nervous, not because of Hao Zhao, you know... Guan Lin is the one who builds the new city - the gold master!

The funder came to inspect, which is a big deal for the engineering side.

As for Mi Fang's doubts:
——Hao Zhao, does he know how to build a city?
Ha ha…

According to the original historical records, there were only two cities in the Three Kingdoms era that were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

——Jiangling City, Chencang City!

Among them, Jiangling City is easy to defend and difficult to attack because the new city built by Guan Yu has an extremely solid foundation;
As for Chencang City...from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, everything was built under the overall planning of Hao Zhao. It is called "Chencang Lower City" or "Han Chencang City" in history.

Is Jiangling City tough?I have to ask Cao Ren, who was humiliated and offline when Cao Pi attacked Wu three times...

And Zhu Ran who guarded Jiangling and shocked Cao Wei in World War I!

One more word, Zhu Ran's word means "seal"!
Is Chen Cangcheng tough?Then ask Zhuge Liang, who commanded an attack of 1000 troops. Ask Zhuge Liang, facing a defender of more than 20 people, why didn't he capture Chencang City in more than [-] days?

Both Jiangling City and Chencang City are tough, but which one is tougher?It seems...Hao Zhao's Chen Cangcheng is even better!
really…

On the other side, Hao Zhao followed Guan Lin to see the drawings of the entire new city and the progress of the construction, and he immediately said with emotion.

"Surrounded by water on both sides, so the old and new cities complement each other, and the design is so ingenious... The enemy army needs to attack the city twice to break through Jiangling. This is undoubtedly twice as difficult, but..."

After being impressed by the ingenuity of the construction of the new city of Jiangling City, Hao Zhao immediately put forward a new opinion to Guan Lin, "However, I have a method that will increase the cost of construction, but it will also reduce the difficulty of the enemy's attack on the city from double to double." Double, quadruple!"

This…

Hao Zhao's words startled Guan Lin slightly.

He doesn't know what the so-called double difficulty, quadruple difficulty...

He only had one feeling, with Hao Zhao, the top general who builds and defends the city, he would be doubly happy!

Now, judging by the meaning, Hao Zhao is extremely enthusiastic about the construction of Jiangling City's new city, and can't wait to join in it. In Guan Lin's opinion, he must be four times happier!
Guan Lin stretched out his hand to signal, "Bo Dao said it's okay, money is not a problem..."

Having said that, Guan Lin suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Why are you still looking forward to Soochow's backstab all of a sudden?
So here comes the question, what if Soochow's backstab hits the iron plate?What are the consequences?
Does it hurt?

...

...

Penitentiary.

Lu Xun's arms were hung from the beams, his clothes were ripped by the whip, bloodstains oozed out, his back was bruised, and he was on the verge of fainting, but the whip was still falling off.

The clerk who made the record frowned and looked at the out-of-control scene, and said, "My lord, he fainted, or..."

Shi Hui must shut Lu Xun's mouth. He cannot allow the matter of "Jiaozhou to buy ordnance from Huang Laoxie" to be exposed, let alone let Huang Laoxie's identity be exposed because of his Shi Hui.

Therefore, Shi Hui decided to let Lu Xun die in an extremely humiliating and painful way.

"Wake up—"

The executioner also felt a little guilty, seeing that Shi Hui did not act.

Wen Li said: "In the regulations promulgated by the Seven Commanderies in Jiaozhou, there is a rule that the number of lashes in a day cannot exceed a hundred, and the prisoner faints and stops!"

Shi Hui said coldly: "My father is too merciful, otherwise, he would have met the nobleman long ago. How can we allow this Soochow to ride on our heads for so long? You wake him up..."

at this time.

A bucket of water splashed over, and Lu Xun slowly opened his eyes. He was extremely weak, but his eyes were full of ridicule and contempt when he looked at Shi Hui.

"You rely on, rely on Huang Laoxie to get away...you beat me by chance, you...you are so proud...what are you so proud of?"

The more Lu Xun said this, the more powerless and fearful Shi Hui felt...

He said coldly: "Believe it or not, I dedicated your wife to Huang Laoxie—"

"How dare you—" Lu Xun stared at him with his eyes tearing open.

Shi Hui still wants to fight...

"Stop!" A vigorous voice came out...

Shi Hui turned his head, he was surprised to see his father Shi Xie...

He exclaimed, "Father? Why are you here?"

"If I don't come, you will cause a catastrophe." Shi Xie gave his son a hard look, but soon his eyes became loose. He knew... It's not his son's fault, the hatred between the Shi family and the Lu family , It has been formed since the Guanshan Cave in Changsha County...I will never die!
If it wasn't for...Young Master Yunqi, Shi Xie would have dealt with Lu Xun so cruelly.

"Send Mr. Lu down, and ask the doctor to treat him..."

Shi Xie's words surprised both Shi Hui and Lu Xun.

Especially Lu Xun, after a brief surprise, he thought of something even more terrifying.

——"The Shijia killed me and still not relieved their hatred?Are they... going to kill my entire Lu family?They...they are so cruel—”

Lu Xun wanted to ask...but his weak body made it impossible for him to open his mouth.

Not long after, Lu Xun was led down...

Shi Hui asked his father puzzled, "Father...he...he is our enemy!"

"But he is also the one that Mr. Yunqi wants!" Shi Xie's words are unquestionable... "This Lu Xun, no one is allowed to move. After Lang Zhong is cured, he will be pestered and let him go, along with everyone in the Lu family. !"

This…

Shi Hui was stunned, and he opened his mouth, wanting to persuade his father...but because of the words "Young Master Yunqi", any words of dissuasion seemed pale and powerless at this moment.

"Mr. Yunqi why...why do you want Lu Xun?" Shi Hui continued to ask.

"This is the [-] Lu Family Army!" Shi Xie said with emotion: "Besides, is it possible that you really think that if you kill Lu Xun, our Jiaozhou will be peaceful? Master Yunqi is helping Jiaozhou!"

Shi Xie's words made Shi Hui tremble all over, and he thought of a terrible thing.

Sun Ce was assassinated by assassins because he killed too many wealthy clans in Jiangdong.

The Lu family is a big family in Wu County, if Lu Xun was really killed by Shi Hui, then... then... I am afraid that the disaster between him and Jiaozhou has only just begun.

From this point of view, Mr. Yunqi accepted him, Lu Xun, and it would be the best destination for him to accept this Lu family army.

What Shi Hui thought of was the first floor...

Shi Yi was old, he was stroking his beard while meditating, he had already thought of the second floor.

——"The Lu family army was defeated, Bu Zhi, the supervisor of the army, died, and the nominal patriarch Lu Ji died, but Lu Xun was sent back by us?"This... hehe, is this too coincidental? 』

Shi Yi clicked his mouth, his eyes gradually narrowed, as if he understood the situation.

This Young Master Yunqi set up the game early in the morning!

This Lu Xun is destined to abandon Wu to Shu!

Shi Yi pouted his mouth again.

——"Lu Xun and the Lu family army have no choice, Mr. Yunqi's move... playing hard to get, brilliant! 』

——"Fortunately, he is a friend of Jiaozhou...how lucky! 』

...

...

The dawn was twilight, and the weather was still a bit cold. Sun Ru, who was released first, stood outside Bushan City against the wind, looking at the gate...

The wind blows her sleeves, making her look so thin and desolate.

Lu Yan came to her side, "My lord, go to the carriage first, I'll just wait for father outside."

Sun Ru's tone was like a child's, "All the clansmen have been released, why hasn't Boyan come back yet? Should...send someone to ask?"

"Father has an injury on his leg, so it is expected that he will have trouble moving." Lu Yan comforted him, "If Jiaozhou really wants to embarrass the Lu family, there is no reason to let us go, except father."

"Maybe I'm worrying too much..." Sun Ru pursed her lips, "I didn't feel anything in the prison, but when I came out suddenly, I always felt... that something was going to happen!"

The voice just fell.

The silent door that was dormant like a giant beast opened with a "creak", and a carriage came out. The groom was a member of the Lu Family Army. There were dry food, water, and medicinal materials in the carriage...

Besides, Lu Xun was lying there.

"Madam, General Lu is inside..." the groom hurriedly reminded Sun Ru.

Sun Ru and Lu Yan quickly entered the carriage...

But seeing Lu Xun at this moment, his whole body was covered with wounds, his eyes were closed, tears flowed out like a broken bead chain...

It was the first time for Sun Ru and Lu Yan to see Lu Xun like this.

"Bo Yan, Boyan..." Sun Ru hurriedly called Lu Xun's name softly.

It's not that Lu Xun is unconscious, it's just that he is too shrewd and wise, so wise that he has seen the future and seen through everything.

"Why? Why didn't you kill me—"

Lu Xun wept and sobbed, while muttering: "You let me go, you let me go, the whole Lu family...the whole Lu family is over, it's over—"

"It's all over—"

At this moment, six large characters were written on Lu Xun's face full of sorrow:

--th!
...
