The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 34
At noon the next day, Jingzhou's reinforcements arrived, and the leader was still Mr. Ma Liang. Liu Chan immediately asked him to go to the warehouse to organize people to load the grain.

When Ma Liang heard that there were [-] shi of grain in it, and [-] shi could be transported away, he was really frightened, and immediately excitedly took people to do it.

Then, Liu Chan asked Zhao Feng to gather all the elders and clan members of the Sun family to the ancestral hall, and he had something to announce to them.Han Long's men escorted Sun Tong's family to go together.

Last night, when many members of the Sun clan went to the Sun's house to fight the fire, they saw many dead bodies lying on the ground inside, so they already knew that something serious happened to the Sun's house.Now that they heard the government's announcement, they all came to see what happened to the Sun family.

What shocked them was that Sun Tong had already been tied up and taken away, looking haggard.His family seems to be okay, but they are all guarded.

After Liu Chan waited for a while, the three elders of the Sun family finally arrived.Seeing the arrogant expressions on the faces of the three old people, Liu Chan suddenly felt, why is this person surnamed Sun born with a virtue?It seems that everyone in the world will be three points shorter when they see them.Liu Chan saw that the three were old and wanted to go up to meet them, but because he was upset, he stood upright and didn't bother to move.

And when the three old men walked in front of him, Liu Chan should have spoken or saluted each other, but Liu Chan didn't, he still stood like that, and deliberately turned his head to chat with Han Long.

In fact, the most embarrassing person was Han Long. There were three elders in front of him. It would be disrespectful to Mrs. Sun if he didn't come forward to salute, but Liu Chan was just chattering with himself, and he couldn't just interrupt the other party...

The status of the three old people among the tribe is so noble. Although this little kid in front of him is the only son of Liu Bei, the lord of Jingzhou, but when he came to their Sun family's territory, he dared to despise them like this, and he was also angry.The three old men got into a fight with Liu Chan, and they didn't go up to meet Liu Chan, but just watched Liu Chan talk to Han Long coldly.For a while, the two sides resisted like this, and the atmosphere was as weird as it could be.

Only then did Liu Chan wink at Zhao Feng.Zhao Feng immediately understood and nodded to his subordinates, and the atmosphere on the stage of the ancestral hall suddenly changed again.

The murderous gazes of the fifty battle-tested guards were all fixed on the three old men, as if a pack of vicious wolves had already targeted the three little sheep.Liu Chan put on such a battle to clearly tell them that if they don't come forward to salute, they will kill people next time!

The three old men suddenly felt chills and started whispering.Finally, the old man standing in the middle stepped forward and bowed to Liu Chan, saying, "Old Mr. Sun Bu has met Mr. Liu. I don't know why you want to arrest Sun Tong?"

Having let the Sun clan see how powerful he is, Liu Chan accepts him as soon as he sees it, and takes a step forward to ask the old man not to be too polite, and then asks him if he knows that Sun Tong invited them to the village as a guest yesterday.There was no reason why the old man didn't know, his youngest son Sun Yue was called by Sun Tong to accompany him to the banquet, but he ran back in a panic in the middle of the night, saying that Sun Tong's family was all over now.For the rest, I will never say more.

Liu Chan nodded, and asked someone to escort Sun Chen out.Sun Chen told the whole story about Sun Tong's plan to murder Liu Chan and Han Long in front of the Sun clan, and the crowd suddenly became commotion.They never thought that Sun Tong was such a vicious person, it was unbelievable.

Especially those three elders, who always considered themselves noble, felt extremely humiliated at this moment, their faces turned red, and they were speechless for a long time.

Liu Chan saw that the three of them looked bullish just now, but now they finally faded away, so he asked: "Three old men, if you still think the boy's statement is false, then can I ask other witnesses to testify again?"

Sun Bu hurriedly told Liu Chan not to do this, they already knew who was right and who was wrong, but how to deal with Sun Tong, Liu Chan asked Liu Chan to show them in front of their whole family.

Liu Chan nodded, he had already thought of a countermeasure, and said loudly to the members of the Sun clan below: "Sun Yi intends to murder my son, and the three clans will be exterminated as barbarians according to the law!"

Although the Sun clan has existed for a long time, nine out of ten clan members are relatives, that is to say, almost all clan members belong to Sun Tong's three clans.With a whoosh, the crowd immediately erupted, and they all wanted to rush out, only to find that the outside was surrounded by thousands of soldiers, and their weapons were pointed at them brightly.

When Sun Bu saw such a situation, his face turned pale with fright, so he had to kneel down with two elders, and petitioned: "Mr. Ji’s matter. Now that Sun Tong has done such stupid things, he deserves what he deserves, but for the sake of the thousands of lives of the Sun family, please be merciful.” At this point, the Sun family finally surrendered completely.

Seeing that the plan had been completed, Liu Chan asked Han Long to help the three elders up because he didn't want to demean himself.Then I saw Zhao Feng shouted murderously to the crowd below: "Everyone be quiet, or you will be killed!"

These Sun clan members who were used to being arrogant were startled by Zhao Feng's loud voice, then they calmed down and looked up at the ancestral hall stage.

Liu Chan passed the three elders, walked to the front of the steps, and said in a loud voice: "Sun Tong's crime is punished by the officials of Jingzhou, and he will be punished according to the law. Everyone should know that my father, Liu Shijun, is a man of benevolence. Jun. When the Cao bandits led the army to attack the small town of Xinye, hundreds of thousands of people in the city swore to follow them southward. I have been taught by my father, so of course I can’t kill tens of thousands of people in the Sun family for the crime of one person. Don’t worry, everyone, I’m here now Forgive your entire family from sin!"

With a swipe, all the weapons of the surrounding soldiers were put away.There were cheers from the crowd, no one wanted to care about Sun Tong's life anymore.

After saying this, Liu Chan turned around and asked Zhao Feng to take out a beautiful brocade box and hand it to Sun Bu.Sun Bu saw that the brocade box was very gorgeous, and he didn't know what was inside, so he dared not reach out to take it.Liu Chan asked the old man to take it at ease. It contains the account books of the Sun family and the roster of slaves, and asked the old man to pass them on to the next head of the family.

Sun Bu took the brocade box with some surprise.Because there are two messages conveyed here: first: Liu Chan did not intend to confiscate Sun Tong's family; second, Liu Chan did not intend to destroy Sun Tong's family.But this world has long since become unbearable, how could anyone still be willing to do such a benevolent thing?Sun Bu questioned: "Ask Mr. Liu, do you want to let Sun Tong's family go?"

Liu Chan said with a smile: "The old man is correct, and this son is exactly what I mean."

Sun Bu turned around and handed the brocade box to an elderly man. He raised his hands high and announced to the crowd: "Mr. Liu is benevolent, and the lives of Sun Tong's family have been saved!"

Hearing Sun Bu's words, the crowd was silent. After a while, all the crowd suddenly knelt down to Liu Chan and shouted for the benevolence and righteousness of the son.

When Liu Chan saw this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, which made everyone in the Sun clan get up, and asked Zhao Feng to release all Sun Tong's family members.After that, those disciples loyal to Sun Tong, seeing him treat the Sun family like this, should also be grateful to Liu Chan, right?
In the distance, Mr. Ma Liang was secretly standing among a group of soldiers, seeing all this clearly.In my heart, I also secretly admired the cleverness of this young master's methods. With a few words, he conquered thousands of people's hearts, and also publicized his name of benevolence!Ma Liang turned his head and whispered something into a soldier's ear, and the man ran away after listening.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Liu Chan went back to Sun Tong's home, and found Sun Tong's wife, Yu Shi, and asked her for "spiritual damage fees".

The Yu family is a girl, of course, she has never heard of compensation for "spiritual damage", in fact, everyone around her has never heard of it.But Mrs. Yu was already terrified by Liu Chan before, and now as long as she can continue to live, of course Liu Chan can do whatever she wants.

But Liu Chan comforted Mrs. Yu and said, "Ma'am, don't panic. Jingzhou has very strict laws and regulations. If your family doesn't pay some price, the officials in Jingzhou will not let your family go. I will not touch a piece of your family's land. , and don’t want your family’s gold, silver and jewelry. I think your family has a lot of food, which can relieve my Jingzhou army’s shortage of food and grass. I will leave your family’s needs for three years. I believe that Jingzhou officials will see so much food. I will definitely not ask to punish your family members again. Do you think this is good?"

At that time, land and gold were the most important wealth. The wife of the Yu family didn't know that Liu Chan had tampered with the account book, so she readily agreed, and Ma Liang, who was watching, secretly gave Liu Chan a thumbs up again.

Only then did Liu Chan walk towards Ma Liang, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ma, the next thing will trouble you again."

Ma Liang hurriedly said: "Liu Shijun has a son, which is better than raising a hundred thousand soldiers!"

The two laughed.

Early the next morning, Liu Chan left Sun Tong's house and headed towards Jiangling City.However, his convoy has become four.There are three cars with people, and one is Sun Tong's prison car.The guards also became fifty guards plus five hundred Jingzhou troops.

In fact, only one of the three-two carriages is for people, namely Hua Tuo and Liu Chan, and Wu Pu is riding a horse outside!The next two cars contained 8000 gold from the Sun family!As for those heroes, Jiangling City sent new reinforcements to escort them.

In fact, Han Long contributed the most, and Liu Chan originally wanted to share the 8000 gold with him.But no matter what Liu Chan said, he was unwilling to accept it, and he was unwilling to go to Jiangling City as a guest, saying that he would go back quickly and ask someone to build water conservancy.It was only then that Liu Chan remembered the few suggestions he had given to Han Long yesterday, and it seemed that he couldn't wait.

Liu Chan was happy, took out a hundred gold, and asked Han Long to hand it over to the servant who tipped off the news. He was so busy last night that he forgot.Han Long still declined, telling Liu Chan that he had saved the man's family before, and now he would bring the man back to his manor to find a job.As for the reward, he will figure it out himself, so you don't have to worry about it.Then he hurried back with his people.

On the way, Liu Chan asked Mr. Hua, "Sir, if I let you go back to yesterday, would you still go to save the drowning woman?"

Mr. Hua smiled slightly and said, "I never regretted it."

Liu Chan sighed inwardly.A person like Mr. Hua really shouldn't be killed by Cao Cao just like that.Good people may need someone to protect them in order to be rewarded.
