The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 240 The Final Winner
In Wuyang County, most of the residents who woke up early knew the sound of killing last night, but it was strange that they never found a dead body on the street when they woke up in the morning.

People living in the Yamen District feel that the air is filled with a faint smell of blood, of course, there is also some burnt smell mixed in.

Of course, the neighbors around the house with four surnames in Wuyang soon 'discovered' the situation, and they began to send their servants to the government to report the incident.

Although Wuyang County Magistrate knew what was going on when he received a report, he was still secretly shocked when he heard that no one in Xu Pang's family was spared.

Of course, the county magistrate of Wuyang also knew who was behind the scenes, so he immediately concluded that a thief broke in and closed the case immediately.

Naturally, those neighbors would not say anything more because of a dead Xu family.

The people in Wuyang County didn't know that among the four surnames who used to be rampant in Wuyang County, now only the Shen family is left lingering.

Although the Shen family was the final winner, after eliminating the Lin family, they eliminated the weakest Chen family and became the only family among the four surnames, but after the consumption of the Xu, Lin, and Chen families, the Shen family is also at the end of its strength. up.

"Master, this old slave has counted. This time, 200 family members of our family died, and 500 slaves... This loss is quite serious." An old man in brocade clothes said to Shen Dong. He was Shen Dong. His house slave is also the housekeeper of the Shen family.

"Take chestnuts out of the fire!" Shen Dong said in a deep voice, but once he thought of the benefits that would come immediately, the losses would not be a fear. "People make money and birds die for food, but my Shen family must live to enjoy this wealth."

"Get off the carriage quickly, I'm going to see the Wuyang county magistrate." Shen Dong had already bathed and changed his clothes, and at this moment, he couldn't wait to confirm the big deal with the Wuyang county magistrate.

Sitting in the carriage, Shen Dong was already imagining how detached his position in Wuyang County would be in the future, even the magistrate of Wuyang County was no longer in his eyes.

Of course, Shen Dong's arrogance lasted until he met the Wuyang County Magistrate. The Wuyang County Magistrate didn't say anything on the surface, but he was contemptuous in his heart.

You think you are the winner, but do you know who is the master of this incident?Wuyang county magistrate sneered in his heart.

"Your Majesty, you can invite General Dongfang to come over. My Shen family will definitely do my best to complete this errand." Shen Dong didn't have much expression on his face, but he was happy in his heart.

Thinking of making a lot of war fortune this time, Shen Dong seemed much happier even drinking tea, as if the slightly bitter tea was a mellow fine wine.

The county magistrate of Wuyang said calmly: "You just wait here, General Dongfang will come later."

Although Shen Dong felt that Wuyang County Magistrate's attitude was a little weird, he didn't think too much about it.

After Wuyang County Magistrate and Shen Dong sat for a while with their own thoughts, Dongfang Sheng came late, but there were two people behind him, a young man and a fat man.

As soon as Shen Dong saw the two people behind Dongfang Sheng, he felt a little uneasy. He always felt that the smile on Dongfang Sheng's mouth was the victor's.

"This is the Patriarch of the Shen family." Dongfang Sheng said to Shen Dong in a 'memorable' way.

Shen Dong regained his surprised expression and said to Dongfang Sheng: "General Dongfang still remembers me. It's really a great honor for the villain."

Although he felt a little uneasy, Shen Dong had no choice but to pretend to be respectful. After all, Dongfang Sheng was a general with a heavy army in his hands. Not to mention that the county magistrate of Wuyang had to be respectful when he saw him, even the officials in the state had to treat him with respect. He was very polite, not to mention a family of merchants like Shen Dong.

At this time, there were very few pure merchants with high status. Most of the merchants themselves were members of the gentry family, or they relied on some big warlords like their predecessor Lu Buwei.

Although Shen Dong married Zhao Shao, Zhao Shao was just a different state, but the young man in front of him was actually a general named Fenwu by the imperial court, and now he was in charge of the Dongzhou soldiers, the strongest army in Yizhou. .

After Dongfang Sheng took his seat, the young man and the fat man consciously sat on Dongfang Sheng's side.

After sitting down, Dongfang Sheng smiled and asked Shen Dongdao: "What about the other three families?"

Shen Dong's face froze, and then he looked at Wuyang County Magistrate as if asking for help.

The Wuyang county magistrate didn't dare not help at this time, after all, he also received a lot of benefits from Shen Dong.

"The thieves entered the city last night, and the other three families were unfortunately broken into by the thieves... hey." The Wuyang county magistrate sighed heavily.

"Oh, that's how it is." Dongfang Sheng showed a look of "suddenly enlightened", and then said to the young man and fat man beside him: "These two are Wang Dong and Tang Youqian. They came to catch up with me this time, but The four surnames have only one surname, and I need three families, and the two of them just fill the gap. I wonder if Patriarch Shen is willing?"

Although Dongfang Sheng used a deliberative tone, Shen Dong didn't dare to say no. He knew that as long as he said no, he might follow in the footsteps of the Xu family and the others.

"Xiao Min is willing." Shen Dong said while holding back his anger.

It's better to have something than nothing, although without the Xu family they split the profit, but Wang Dong and Tang Youqian who suddenly stepped in still divided the profit by three.

Wang Dong looked at Shen Dong gloatingly, while Tang Youqian looked like a Maitreya, everyone was smiling.

Of course, Dongfang Sheng would not care about Shen Dong's mood. For him, although the dispute between the four surnames was not ridiculous, it did not catch his eye, because he had a stronger power than the four surnames.

In troubled times, with a gun, you are the grass head king.

Force is the symbol of status in troubled times.

Tang Youqian traveled across mountains and rivers to seek refuge with him, how could Dongfang Sheng make him feel cold? Dongfang Sheng had planned to give him a chance in this case.

However, Dongfang Sheng has no time to focus on the economy at this stage. Now he wants to seize the time to occupy the territory. He needs to gain a foothold as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be bad if he has no foundation when Cao Cao dominates the north.

So Dongfang Sheng also told Tang Youqian at the beginning that he will be given opportunities at this stage, but the specific development depends on himself, but Yizhou is already relatively wealthy, and the opportunities for development are naturally greater.

Dongfang Sheng dealt with it casually, and asked Tang Youqian and Wang Dong to stay with Shen Dong to discuss matters such as the transportation of military rations and ordnance, while he left directly.

The reason why Dongfang Sheng spent so much time making these things is to truly subdue Wuyang County and conquer the city. It is meaningless to just conquer the city. If it can really make the people in the city return to their hearts, this is the real surrender.

Zhao Shao was able to instigate rebellion in so many counties and counties. It is not because of Liu Yan's connivance of Dongzhou soldiers and the current Liu Zhang's failure to restrain Dongzhou soldiers from invading the people.
