I am a sister-in-law in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 123 My husband is brave and capable

Sun Ce and Pan Lin had a big fight, and Pan Lin ran away, losing his pants in a panic.

Sun Ce reorganized his troops and returned to Wu Commandery.

Sun Yi and Zhu Zhi had just surrendered the surrounding areas of Wu Commandery, and Sun Quan also achieved a great victory in his campaign against Kuaiji.

Yan Baihu was imprisoned by Zhang Zhao in the prison of Wujun Prefecture.

Sun Hao, Sun Kuang and Mrs. Xiao Wu were imprisoned in the Sun Mansion.

They were all waiting for Sun Ce to come back and deal with it.

Qiao Jingjing stood in front of the bodies of Xu Zhao and Xu Gong, repeatedly asking Zhang Zhao to confirm whether it was them.

Sun Ce saw Qiao Jingjing from a distance, her look, the sharp and murderous look in her eyes.

Wait until she sees him.

He hasn't stepped off the horse yet.

She had already rushed out, and regardless of everyone's eyes, she immediately threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Hold tight.

Don't say a word.

We hugged each other for a long time in front of everyone.

for a long time.

Sun Cecai said: "Everyone is watching."

Qiao Jingjing still held Sun Ce's hand and didn't let go, looking at him from head to toe.

It was confirmed that Sun Ce was intact and not injured.

Sun Ce asked Qiao Jingjing why she was watching the two severed heads. She used to be most afraid of blood.

Qiao Jingjing said: "Yan Baihu has surrendered. The reason why these two people were able to run to Wucheng County was because they had colluded with Wucheng Hou. Sun Hao, the general of the Zhonglang, killed these two people..."

Sun Kuang, the Marquis of Wucheng, and General Hao of Zhonglang.

Which one is not more worthy of Qiao Jingjing's consideration? She has to stare at this corpse!
Sun Ce said: "You are too timid to see this. Don't have nightmares at night!"

Qiao Jingjing believes that since the identities of Xu Zhao and Xu Gong have been confirmed, their relatives should be allowed to come and collect the bodies.

"Although he did evil things during his lifetime, he was also kind to his old friends, so he can be allowed to be buried in the ground and have people worship him during the holidays."

Sun Ce said yes.

Return to Sun Ce's outer study and discuss how to deal with Yan Baihu and Sun Kuang.

Zhang Zhao said that Yan Baihu could still lead an army.

"You don't need to give as much as Taishi Ci. Hundreds or thousands of people are still fine."

Because Sun Ce is now famous for recruiting talented people.

Sun Ce pacified the mountain bandits not just to kill people.

The goal is to be able to make people's hearts return and stabilize one party.

Sun Ce just said there was no rush.

It's easy to find people, and it's easy to arrange positions, but Yan Baihu must be convinced.

Yan Baihu is not convinced now.

Because there were a few people in the Sun family who had different intentions.

The so-called misfortune arises from Xiao Qiang.

Sun Ce asked someone to take Sun Kuang out and formally interrogate him.

The entire Sun family now knows that Wucheng Hou Sun Kuang, Sun Ce's concubine's mother-in-law, has committed a crime and is now being interrogated, and they all listen to the excitement with their ears pricked up.

Let’s see how Sun Ce handles it.

Little Wu was imprisoned in the woodshed behind Mrs. Wu's residence. She cried and cursed blindly and refused to admit guilt.

Qiao Jingjing asked the maid to gag little Wu's mouth and tie her to the pillar.

The woodshed became quiet.

Mrs. Wu sighed in the room.

"I fought with her sister, but we still got here today. She wanted to attack the prince, and the prince talisman was given to her Kuang'er. What else could she be dissatisfied with! She actually colluded with Xu Gongyan Baihu... Turning her elbows outward."

Mrs. Wu held Qiao Jingjing's hand sadly.

"Da Qiao, Bo Fu is too difficult!"

Qiao Jingjing deliberately stayed with her mother-in-law, firstly to comfort her, and secondly to prevent others from colluding with Xiao Wu to cause harm.

Outside the study room, Sun Kuang was questioned by Sun Ce.

Sun Kuang has nothing to hide.

"It's me, I did it all! Just kill me."

Sun Ce kept his treasured sword beside his case, but he was still calm.

Sun Yi had already come up with his fist and hit Sun Kuang on the temple.

"Kill you? For what reason and what crime, you tell me one by one! When, with whom, who is the contact, who helped you do the evil things! Tell me!"

Sun Kuang was beaten so hard that he was stunned for a while.

There was blood in the eye socket.

"Third brother, you're still so impatient! I beat you when I was a kid, and you beat me now, so it's even. I'll make it clear to you in front of my eldest brother. The grudge between you and me when we were kids is over. After I die, you Don't embarrass my son."

Sun Yi punched Sun Kuang in the stomach again.

He beat Sun Kuang until he spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Are you with me? You robbed your eldest brother of the Marquis, you colluded with Xu Gongyan Baihu, and cheated and cheated. How can you count? You also mentioned your son. You are a sinner of the Sun family. Do you deserve to be your son's father?"

Sun Kuang chuckled.

"I admit that it was me who cheated, financed Xu Gong, hid Xu Zhao, delivered news to Yan Baihu, and made friends with Cao Cao. Also, I did the same thing for Sister Gu's life, and it had nothing to do with my mother. It has nothing to do with my wife and children.”

Sun Kuang took over everything.

Just let Sun Ce kill him.

Sun Ce didn't do that.

He asked Zhu Zhi, the prefect of Wu County, to clean up a high-walled house, imprison Sun Kuang and Sun Lang, and no one was allowed to visit.

No one is allowed to intercede.

Sun Kuang's wife and children moved from Wucheng County to Wu County, and had someone to take care of them.

From now on, little Wu will be placed under house arrest in a thatched house outside the ancestral hall in her hometown in Fuchun, with special personnel assigned to take care of her.

Xiao Wu asked to see her third uncle Sun Jing.

Sun Jing's biological son Sun Hao is still in Sun Ce's house, and Zhang Hong accompanies him to study. He doesn't know when he will be able to explain clearly what happened in Wucheng County, but Sun Jing still ignores him, let alone Xiao Wu. Crazy woman.

Xiao Wu seized the opportunity of humane treatment like drinking water and shouted to Sun Jing from a distance:

"You're going to be stabbed a thousand times! You're heartless! Just watch our mothers die!"

Mrs. Wu simply had no face to listen to these words.

In front of her daughter-in-law Qiao Jingjing, she was so ashamed for Xiao Wu.

The whole story of the elders was not honorable, so Qiao Jingjing pretended not to hear.

Mrs. Sun came to the house again because of Sun Hao's matter. She was furiously provoked by Mr. Wu, who was very angry.

Mrs. Sun stepped forward and gave Xiao Wu some big words.

"Isn't what you did very glorious? Howling so many times, others will pity you? You are dead, how can you have the face to see my second brother? My second brother is so good to you mother and son, repaying kindness with revenge, so bad. Got it!"

So, little Wu began to think about people after death.

If she died, how would she face Sun Jian?

She snatched Sun Ce's title, killed Sun Ce's wife Gu, and almost killed Sun Ce's son. She also colluded with Yan Baihu to pay tribute to Xu Zhao... If something hadn't gone wrong in the middle, she would have almost killed Sun Ce. life.

Almost!
What went wrong?

Little Wu was depressed, her eyes were dull, and there were several deep slap marks on her face.

Mrs. Sun put her hands on her hips and patiently guided her nephew-in-law Qiao Jingjing.

"You mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are just as soft and adorable. Do you see that? Don't be unreasonable when dealing with someone like Xiao Wu. Just a few big guys come up to her, and she becomes honest. She doesn't say what she is told to say, and she shouldn't say what she shouldn't. If she wants to say it, why don't she take her to the coffin and talk to my second brother."

This aunt is so energetic.At that time, the body of Xu Gong and Xu Zhao had been parked outside the Wujun Prefecture for a whole day, and no relatives or friends came forward to claim it.

Zhu Zhi, the prefect of Wu County, followed Sun Ce's instructions, buried Xu Gong and Xu Zhao, and erected a monument.

Then send people to monitor the surrounding movement traces.

Sun Ce asked Qiao Jingjing that night why he bothered to monitor Xu Gongzhi's tombstone.

Isn't it normal for a person to always have a few close relatives and friends who burn paper money at the grave to mourn the souls of the dead?

Qiao Jingjing did not explain.

A few days later, Zhu Zhi was indeed asked to catch a person with special deeds.

The man had a fierce look in his eyes and stubborn veins on his neck.

Zhu Zhi caught the man but hadn't interrogated him yet.

The man shouted slogans and wanted to kill Sun Ce to avenge Xu Gong.

Sun Ce disagreed.

"Another stubborn donkey who thinks he is loyal! Let him go. Xu Gong is a dirty person, but this donkey is completely sincere to his old master."

Basic education was not provided at that time, and many people's values ​​were inaccurate.

There are people everywhere who are foolish, loyal, filial and foolish.

Qiao Jingjing was determined not to let this stubborn donkey go.

Qiao Jingjing personally cross-examined.

She said to Sun Ce: "My aunt only taught me two days ago. She was afraid that I would be too cute and unable to manage the family. This person is strange, so just give me some training."

Sun Ce agreed.

But she didn't feel at ease, so she had to stay with Qiao Jingjing and tie her up at any time.

Zhu Zhi tied up the stubborn donkey assassin and dragged him out.

Qiao Jingjing confronted him personally.

"The Marquis of Wu has good relations with Cao Mengde and is loyal to the Han court. I wonder why Xu Gong wants to slander the Marquis of Wu in front of others and frame the Marquis of Wu for injustice?"

Regardless of the assassin's reason for seeking revenge.

He doesn't ask who benefited him, and he can't forget who's kindness to him.

Just ask Xu Gong this key point.

The assassin, Stubborn Donkey, had already smiled with a righteous expression on his face, without stuttering or being low-key.

"Loyal to the Han court?
The person who is sincerely devoted to the Han Dynasty is my lord Xu Gong.

Sun Ce's son now controls six counties in the east of the Yangtze River, competing with Cao Cao Yuan Shao in the north, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang in Yizhou. He is clearly a prince!
Liu Zhang and Liu Biao are also clan members of the Han Dynasty, the fourth and third Duke of Yuan Shao, and the family of Cao Cao's officials!You, Sun Ce's son, your father is just the governor of Changsha, why do you own the six counties in Jiangdong?Are you not separatist and proclaiming yourself king, or what? "

The Stubborn Donkey Assassin was still filled with indignation when he talked about what Xu Gongmei had said to him every time.

The more he spoke, the more indignant he became.

If his lord Xu Gong was in Sun Ce's position, the assassin felt that it was natural for Xu Gong to control the six counties of Liujiangdong.

When Xu Gong was the governor of Wu County and persecuted the sages, the assassin thought it was natural.

Xu Gong died, and the assassin was only dissatisfied with Sun Ce.

What are you not convinced about?

Is it because he is not convinced that Sun Ce is more handsome than Yuan Shao, younger than Cao Cao, and more capable than Liu Biao and Liu Zhang?
Qiao Jingjing waved her hands.

"Pedant! Do you believe Xu Gong's words to lie to you? In the country, the wise are competent, and the world is in chaos, but the powerful can pacify it. My husband is brave and capable, stabilizes Jiangdong, governs Jiangdong, and the people live and work here in peace and contentment. Isn't Xu Gong's credit for these achievements? A person can be wiped out with empty words and white teeth!”

Qiao Jingjing scolded the assassin.

Backhand, Zhu Zhi led the person out and strangled him.

"Bury him with Xu Gong and Xu Zhao."

Then, continue to monitor surrounding movements and traces.

Sun Ce silently watched the whole process of Qiao Jingjing's work.

Tiger!

She even advised him not to kill more people!
If she wanted to kill someone, she wouldn't ask him if he should.

There was no one to deal with. Sun Ce said to Qiao Jingjing: "He is just an assassin. He has no power. If you kill him, you will get your hands dirty. Why bother to start a fight? You are not me!"

Sun Ce decided to give Yan Baihu several hundred soldiers.

"Now that Xu Gong and Xu Zhao are dead, and Xu Gong's conspiracy has been exposed to Jiangdong, Yan Baihu is a bandit with no ambitions, so we don't need to kill him at this time. Give him a chance to change his ways."

To prevent others from spreading rumors that Sun Ce killed too many people.

It also gives an attitude to those who want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

Because Sun Ce had Qiao Jingjing and had children, he gradually became kinder.

Don't do anything without hesitation, no matter if you are a brother or an outsider.

Leave a way out.

This dispute within the Sun family was in line with Cao Cao's wishes.

Cao Cao was alone in the north, fighting Yuan Shao, contending with the Wuhuan minority, and the Liaodong Peninsula Goguryeo and other complicated situations.

Cao Cao could not let Sun Ce, a young boy, live peacefully in Jiangdong and become bigger and stronger on his own.

Cao Cao suddenly sent a letter to Sun Ce saying:
"Your Majesty's prince is young and needs two companions to accompany him to study. Wu Hou's son is of the same age and is more suitable."

Sun Ce was asked to send his son A Shao to the emperor to study with the crown prince.

That is to say, to be a proton.

Sun Ce decisively refused.

Cao Cao did not give up, and he insisted on inviting Sun Quan and Sun Yi, two strong men, to serve as officials in Xudu, adhering to the attitude of Zhou Gong who taught the world and loved talents.

"The world is in chaos, with everything waiting to be done, and talents scarce. Your Majesty has repeatedly stated that there is a lack of talents like Zhongmou and Shubi around you. Marquis Wu should no longer leave his brothers in Jiangdong!"

Sun Ce still refused.

Sun Ce replied to Cao Cao that he still had his mother at home and his parents were not traveling far away. This is the filial piety mentioned in the Analects of Confucius.

Cao Cao was so angry that he had a headache.

Cao Cao directly invited Sun Ce himself this time, asking Sun Ce to help him defeat Yuan Shao, help him conquer Goguryeo, and conquer the Liaodong Peninsula.

Cao Cao's chicken-feather letters, one after another, were as heavy as Mount Tai, pressing towards Jiangdong.

Zhang Zhao and Qiao Jingjing had a rare agreement.

It is said that it is because Xu Gong's letters have been leaked.

Xu Gong's rumors and scaremongering can put Sun Ce in a quagmire and stifle Sun Ce's ambition to become a successful man.

Although it had been intercepted by Zhang Zhao at that time, Jiangdong's wall was still ventilated.

Sun Ce responded to Cao Cao according to the countermeasures that Qiao Jingjing and him had planned in advance.

"Kowtow to Your Majesty from a distance! Cao Gong has personally entrusted himself with the post of general to kill the bandits. He will guard Kuaiji and supervise the six counties in Jiangdong. He works hard and sleeps day and night, not daring to slack off for a moment. However, the internal affairs of Jiangdong are not at peace, and bandits are everywhere in the mountains. Huang Zu of Jingzhou has not avenged his feud..."

Sun Ce said that he could not sleep or eat well because his father's revenge was not avenged.

Just finished writing the letter.

Sun Ce then organized his troops and horses and prepared them in formation.

If there was trouble within Jiangdong at this time, he would put an end to it with his sword.

If Cao Cao and Yuan Shao showed any flaws in the war, he would definitely give it a try and go north to attack Xuchang to give Cao Cao a blow.

Qiao Jingjing is also thinking about these things every day.

Sun Hao was still studying behind closed doors in Sun Ce's house.

Sun Hao was originally with Mrs. Sun Kuang and Mrs. Wu. Sun Hao was stationed in Wucheng County, but he opened the door to Yan Baihu, Xu Gong, Xu Zhao and others.

When the matter was about to be exposed, Sun Hao backhandedly killed Xu Gong and Xu Zhao, and tied up Sun Kuang, completely shirking all responsibility.

Even so, Sun Hao still could not shirk his responsibility for the garrison.

It was okay for Sun Hao to be locked up in the Sun family to study hard, and no important official in the clan dared to have any objections.

But there were some things inside. Qiao Jingjing thought about it and decided to meet Sun Hao specifically.
