Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1659 Rumormonger

  Although the sun is still setting in the sky, the sky is clear, and there is no cloud in the sky, but Sun Quan's heart is still full of thunder and lightning, and the stormy waves hit the shore.

Sun Quan's palace, leaning against the mountain and facing the river, occupies a shade alone. It is located at the foot of Dongshan Mountain. The terrain is higher than the opposite bank. The corner cornices are vivid. Where there is Sun Jian's tablet, there is also Sun Ce's...

  Sun Quan stood in front of the hall with his hands behind his back, watching Zhou Yu walking step by step.

   "People say that the song is wrong, Zhou Lang Gu..." Sun Quanqiang laughed and said, "I don't know where the song is wrong today..."

  Zhou Yu remained silent, took two steps forward, and greeted Sun Quan with a big gift.

  Sun Quan couldn't help being stunned when he saw this, and then realized that he stepped forward to help him.

   So far, Zhou Yu is the first to pay homage to Sun Quan, because on the surface Sun Quan is just a miscellaneous general and a prefect of Kuaiji.

  Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan. Compared with Sun Ce, Sun Quan was more like his mother. Only when his thin lips were pursed stubbornly, he looked very much like Sun Jian. Sun Quan has a high nose bridge, which gives people a sense of sternness and deepness. His thin lips are pursed. Sun Ce's feeling of clearness and insight is completely different. It looks like he is close, but in fact he is thousands of miles away, and there seems to be no hostility. It is a very strange feeling...

   "Your lord, you should know the reason for Yu's visit..." Zhou Yu cupped his hands, and said straight to the point, "Sifang is inside... What's the matter?"

  Sun Quan raised his head and laughed twice: "Nothing!"

After a while, Sun Quan felt that he needed to add an explanation, and then explained: "Gong Jin is a sincere and open-minded person. You should know that what you hear is not true, and seeing each other may not be happy. It will only increase your troubles... Now my sister-in-law is resting At that time, how can someone let mundane things intrude on him?"

   Of course, this is a reason for explanation, but it is not strong enough.

  Zhou Yu was silent, looking at Sun Quan. Since Sun Ce's death, Zhou Yu's words have been much less, and more often it is like this now, but it still cannot be ignored by others.

  Under Zhou Yu's gaze, Sun Quan seemed a little uncomfortable. He twisted slightly, then coughed twice, turned his gaze to one side, deliberately not looking at Zhou Yu.

   "My lord, someone came from Baqiu and traveled hundreds of miles..." Zhou Yu said slowly, "If you just heard a folk song, wouldn't you be extremely disappointed?"

  Sun Quan looked up at the sky, and said after a while, "Vulgar songs are also songs..."

The sun is shining, and it is approaching summer, so the temperature will naturally be a little higher, but it looks a bit gloomy near Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, like a deep well that swallows all the temperature, and does not know that in this deep well, is the trapped With regard to the four walls, it is better to sit in a well and watch the sky, or to break it and then stand up...

  Zhou Yu looked down at the mat in front of him, as if the pattern on the mat was very unique, and said in a low voice: "Someone once asked the lord He Zhi... The lord also has something to say... I wonder if the lord still remembers it?"

   "A certain ambition is unspeakable..." Sun Quan said slowly, "Small, it is only in front of your eyes, big, it is in the world..."

   "Of course." Zhou Yu nodded, "Ji Zhi also cares?"

Sun Quan was silent for a long time, then nodded firmly and said: "A certain ambition remains the same! Gongjin, I can swear to Tianming that what I did this time is for the Sun family's foundation! It is not my selfishness! Of!"

  Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan, finally got up and cupped his hands and said, "So, Yu is leaving...My lord, don't forget what you said..."

   "Naturally..." Sun Quan let out a sigh of relief, and stood up to send Zhou Yu off.

   "My lord, please stay here..." Zhou Yu walked two steps, and suddenly said, "I prepared a food box, which was cooked by my wife. If I don't see you, can I trouble my lord to send it to Sifang?"

   "This...is also good..." Sun Quan pondered for a moment, then nodded.

  Zhou Yu beckoned to the outside, then took the food box delivered by the servant, and put it in front of Sun Quan, then cupped his hands, said goodbye and left...

  Sun Quan smiled, and after sending Zhou Yu away, his eyes fell on the food box with a gloomy face.

"Humph…"

  Sun Quan ground his teeth.

  Zhou Yu still doesn't believe him...

  Food box, cook it by yourself, it's just a test!

   These guys, including Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, why can't they trust a certain person like they trust their elder brother? !

  Sun Quan walked around twice, then stopped, his eyes flickered a few times, and then he walked up to the food box, stretched out his hand to touch the top of the food box, pondered for a moment, and lifted the lid of the food box...

   "This..." Sun Quan's eyes froze.

  The food box was empty, and there were no ingredients Zhou Yu mentioned at all...

  Of course it cannot be said that there is nothing. On the bottom of the food box, there is a jade flute.

Sun Quan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and the muscles on the side of his cheeks twitched, twitched, and then twitched again. Finally, he slowly closed the lid of the food box and pressed it firmly: "Come on!" People! Send this... send this food box to Sifangju! Also, prepare two carts of fruits, vegetables and poultry, and send them together!"

  Empty food box...

   Empty Food Container.

  If Zhou Yu hadn't reminded me, I would have overlooked this point!

   It's just that Zhou Yu's empty food box probably means more than just that...

   Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin!

   is really too shrewd, shrewd to be a bit scary...

   I really have to guard against it!

  Sun Quan looked up at the sky, as if only in this way could he feel the warmth of the sun shining on his face.

  ………p(⌒｀q)………

  What rumor has the most market?

  Parental gossip is the most suitable for spreading. If some key people can be involved in it, these rumors will spread quickly like a centipede with a hundred legs.

   "Have you heard?"

   "Did you hear what? How would I know if you didn't tell me?"

   "Let me tell you, you can't tell others..."

   "Don't worry, don't you know my character? I will keep my mouth shut and never say anything..."

   "Hehe, let me tell you first, I also heard it from a friend, and I don't know if it's true or not..."

   "Come on, let's talk."

   "...Let me tell you, I heard that the current master of the Sun family... looks, huh, majestic, quite extraordinary..."

"that's it?"

   "What's that?"

"Isn't this old Huangli? Some people have said that when he was born, he had a big mouth, a radiant look in his eyes, and an owner-like appearance... Isn't it all the same thing? You say accept it, but you are not. I have never seen a child who has just made a sound, and they all look like a hairy child. What can you tell... what does it look like? Is it a few more hairs, or a few less hairs? Isn't it all for smearing my face? light..."

   "Hi! I didn't mean that!"

   "Then you're talking about that, it's so annoying! Say it!"

   "I'm talking about that... that... that it has the appearance of 'purple beard'... purple, **** ho..."

   "Huh? Do you really or falsely don't understand? Purple beard means purple? That's a description of heroic appearance, not really purple..."

   "Tch, I didn't know then, I mean really... really~ purple..."

   "Wait, what do you mean? You mean, really... purple?"

   "True Purple."

   "Hey, this is a bit interesting... You are so brave..."

"What's the matter? Some people say that he not only has purple beard, but also has blue eyes, and some people say that he has red hair... Those people are all fine, so I'll just say purple beard, so what? So many people said purple beard before, Why did you say something happened today?"

   "Can the purple beard from before be the same as the purple beard you are talking about now?"

   "Don't care about the difference, you think this is interesting?"

   "Well, don't tell me, it's really interesting... Now, all the members of the Sun family went in, and none of them were clean... How ruthless..."

   "What is this? Haven't you heard that Sifangju over there... talking about a purple beard, isn't it just right for this scene?"

   "So, something really happened to Sifangju?"

   "Is this still fake? The soldiers are all around..."

   "Shh, shh... some soldiers are coming, scattered, scattered..."

  ...(_)(_)(_)(_)...

  Wujun Taishou Mansion.

  Zhu Zhizheng wrote a pair of words, put down the pen, looked around, stroked his palms and said: "This bamboo paper in Guanzhong is really extraordinary..."

It’s not that Jiangdong doesn’t have paper, it does have it, but because Jiangdong’s paper is made of bark and hemp, the color is relatively heavy, a bit like a light brown, not like the bamboo paper produced in Guanzhong. A little more white and yellow.

  Zhu Ran stood by and waited on him. Seeing that Zhu Zhi had finished writing, he quickly brought a copper basin of clear water to let Zhu Zhi wash his hands, and then took the soft towel prepared by the servants to wipe Zhu Zhi's hands.

Zhu Ran is not Zhu Zhi's son, strictly speaking, he is only Zhu Zhi's nephew, born to Zhu Zhi's sister. His surname should have been Shi Mingran and the word Yangsi, but Shi Chong, Shi Ran's biological father, was already in the war. In addition, Zhu Zhi's own child died early, so they simply got together, changed their surnames, and became Zhu Zhi's heir.

  Although it is not his own son, but Zhu Ran has done very well in the morning and evening. Even his own son may not be able to do it...

  Zhu Zhi looked at the handwriting he wrote, then shook his head, and said, "It's still not enough to meditate... This stroke is a little soft..."

  Jiangdong is noisy these days, and Zhu Zhi, who is the prefect of Wujun, naturally cannot be clean.

I originally thought that these rumors were only staged, and they would naturally dissipate after a period of time, but I didn't expect that they would become more and more serious. Now there are all kinds of rumors, and the involvement is getting wider and wider. Zhu Zhi naturally We cannot continue to sit idly by.

However, rumors like this, generally speaking, there is no one behind to push them, so there is no way to go for a walk like this, so on the one hand, Zhu Zhi continued to pretend that he didn't care, and on the other hand, he sent Zhu Ran to investigate .

  The big families in Jiangdong, except Zhu Zhi's Zhu family and Wu Ben's Wu family, basically have this suspicion. Zhu Zhi didn't do it himself, and Zhu Ran didn't dare to do such a thing. As for Zhu Zhi's sister, he basically doesn't live in the house now, let alone participate in this kind of troubled water. The Wu family, as Mrs. Wu's family, also belongs to the status of foreign relatives, and it is unlikely to do such a stupid move if it is damaged, so other families are more likely.

  Rumors are still circulating among the nobles at this stage. After all, ordinary people only care about the food in their mouths and the clothes on their bodies, how can they have much leisure to pay attention to rumors about Sun Quan?

However, just the news passed among the children of the gentry is enough to be lethal. Not long after Sun Quan took over the power, just when the Quartet was stabilizing, this happened. Even if the government does not obey the law, it will put a question mark on Sun Quan's control...

   Even a rumor can’t be dealt with, what else can you do?

  It’s like the fart in the elevator in the later generations. Although it doesn’t smell so bad that it can kill people, but you can’t even hold down a fart. What else can you do?

   "What's going on with the Gu family?" Zhu Zhi left the table and sat aside, asking while receiving the hot tea from Zhu Ran.

  Zhu Ran bowed his head, and replied respectfully: "There is no movement? The Gu family is all in the mansion, and they haven't gone out..."

"Ok…"

  Zhu Zhi nodded, shook his head again, and then lowered his head to drink tea.

   "The Gu family left it clean..." Zhu Zhi put the tea bowl aside, "What about the other two?"

   "Report to my lord father," Zhu Ran replied, "I didn't go out... The Lu family will not talk about it, even the Zhang family is closed..."

   "Hmph..." Zhu Zhi snorted coldly twice, "The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop! The market is becoming more and more noisy, how could it be avoided by closing the doors!"

  While speaking, Zhu Zhi's aides came outside the door and whispered a few words to Zhu Zhi.

  Zhu Zhi narrowed his eyes for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know...do you have another word?"

  The staff member whispered a few more words.

  Zhu Zhi pondered for a while, and said: "Let's prepare some food and clothing, load it into a cart, and send it to Sifangju!"

  Sun Quan sent clothes and food to Sifangju. As the prefect of Wujun, Zhu Zhi, it was impossible and indifferent. After all, Sifangju is within the scope of Wu County.

  The staff nodded in response, and left immediately.

Zhu Zhi looked at the treetops swaying in the wind under the hall, and said, "However, we still need to hurry up on this matter... People who spread rumors will not subdue the law for a day, and there will be no peace in the market... As the prefect of Wu County... I must bear the responsibility at that time If a certain person makes a move in person, it seems to be a cover-up, but it is not beautiful...and other people can't believe it, so you have to go...Remember, this matter should not be publicized, only secretly investigated..."

  ……(д.)┌(.Д.)┐…

  In the wind, Sifang is on the outer hillside, and Xiao Qiao stands tall.

   Faintly, there was a burst of flute sound from Sifangju, whimpering and melodious, ethereal and mournful.

   "It's my sister!" Xiao Qiao shouted, grabbing Zhou Yu's sleeve beside her, "It's my sister!" Then she laughed and jumped and called twice, and then burst into tears, "Woooo...it's my sister, my sister...uoo..."

  Zhou Yu silently held Xiao Qiao's hand and listened quietly.

   After a while, Zhou Yu suddenly opened his phoenix eyes, not angry but mighty, and then filled with sadness, "Beifeng, green clothes! This is the green clothes! Sun Zhongmou! What a Sun Zhongmou!"
