More and more housekeepers and servants appeared in the governor's mansion. Every one of them who heard the news looked at Lu Bu who was sitting on the main seat with an angry expression.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? "The head of the Wu Family was puzzled.
"Master, master!" The servant of the Wu Family also came.
"Afo, why are you here?" The head of the Wu Family asked. The head of the Wu Family panicked.
"Master, it's not good. Our family's grain store and granary are all … all gone!" The servant called Afo gasped for breath.
"What's wrong?" The head of the Wu Family was anxious. The grain store and granary were his lifeblood. In troubled times, grain was comparable to hard currency. Therefore, many nobles exchanged their gold and silver for grain. If something happened to the grain store and granary, then half of the Wu Family's wealth would be gone.
"Is it a fire? Or is it a sinkhole? "The head of the Wu Family thought of the worst.
"No, no!" Afo shook his head.
"Then tell me!" The head of the Wu Family was anxious. He grabbed Afo and did not want to see him off.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Afo struggled to break free from his master's arm and said. The grain store and granary were emptied by the army. In the evening, after the head of the Wu Family went to the governor's residence, groups of soldiers came to the grain store and asked them to open the door.
The head of the Wu Family wanted to refuse, but the sword in the leader's hand was shining with a cold light. They opened the door and the soldiers took away the grain from the grain store.
"Emptied?" The head of the Wu Family suddenly collapsed on the ground. "It's all gone?" The head of the Wu Family pulled Afo back. He wanted to know if this news was fake or if Afo was just messing with him.
But he was disappointed. "It's all gone!" Afo nodded. "It's the Old Madam. She asked me to come and find you!"
"Imperial army! Imperial army!" The Wu Clan Head grasped the key point. Wancheng city has now been captured by Lü Bu. Afo said that there was only one official army, and that was Lü Bu's army. Except for the Lvbu's Army, there was no one else.
"General Lü!" The Wu Clan Lord wanted to go up and find Lü Bu, but it was not his turn to take the lead. Someone else was one step ahead of him.
Chen Yao took a step forward and stopped saluting. Instead, he pointed at Lü Bu and shouted, "General Lü, why did you send soldiers to break into our grain store and take everything away? You even killed my family's servants and destroyed my grain warehouse! " Chen Yao's anger increased. His grain store was not only emptied by Lü Bu's troops, but also his servants were killed by the Lvbu's Army soldiers. Finally, the grain warehouse was burned down.
He thought that Lü Bu was playing tricks on him. He thought that Lü Bu wanted to lower the price of grain. Who knew that Lü Bu would directly take action.
"General Lü, what's the difference between your behavior and that of a bandit!" This was the head of the Liu family. His loss was the biggest. Not only his grain warehouse was destroyed, but all three grain warehouses in Wancheng city were emptied. It can be said that the Liu family's property instantly shrank by more than half. The Liu family's current achievements were accumulated by several generations. Who knew that in one night, it would disappear.
"General Lü, you must give us an explanation!!"
"Yes, even if you are the lord of Wancheng city, you can't take it by force. If you don't give us an explanation, we will not leave today!"
"Explanation?!" Lü Bu looked at the nobles who were pointing at him and scolding him. His mouth curled into a sneer. Chen Yao said that his grain warehouse and grain store were emptied, and his servant died? And his warehouse was burned down?
He only has himself to blame! Servant? That's not a servant, that's a private soldier! Relying on the Chen family's name to be lawless, in front of the army, he dared to show his weapon. Isn't that just courting death!
"You want an explanation?!" Step by step, Lu Bu walked toward the heads of these noble clans. With every step he took, his face became colder and colder. This kind of coldness was like looking at a dead person. How could these heads of noble clans and heads of noble clans have encountered him before?
One by one, they subconsciously avoided Lü Bu's eyes.
"I will give you an explanation!" Lü Bu said indifferently. "When I lead someone to borrow your grain, what did you say?! Come, Wang Family Head, you speak first! "
Wang Family Head wanted to shrink back, but Lü Bu called him by name.
"General Lü, I!" Wang Family Head also wanted to question Lü Bu like Chen Yao, but he didn't dare to look at Lü Bu. He could only repeat himself several times.
"If Wang Family Head doesn't want to speak, then you, Cheng Family Head, will speak!" Lü Bu looked at another noble family head.
"You, I!" Cheng Family Head was also speechless. He didn't know what to say.
"You don't want to speak? Good, then I will speak! " Lu Bu was over nine feet tall, which was a bit more than two meters tall in the modern era. In the modern era, he would be considered a standard expert, let alone in the late Han era. Walking among these clan heads, he would be like a crane among a flock of chickens.
Although he was wearing a general's uniform, his dignified aura didn't change at all.
"Wang Family Head, didn't you say that your family didn't have enough food to eat? Why did you clear out five thousand dan of grain from your Wang Family's grain store?" Lü Bu looked at Wang Family Head and said coldly.
"That's because!" Wang Family Head wanted to explain, but he couldn't.
"No need to explain, I understand! Isn't it because you don't see me in your eyes?! "
"And that Cheng Family Head! What a good 'haven't tasted oil for a long time'! If you want to eat something without oil, then what about those commoners, those soldiers and I, Lu Bu, eat? Pig food?! "Lu Bu raised his dashing eyebrows.
"See the food on the table?! I know you can't eat it! Because in your eyes, these are the food of the servants. But sorry, this is what I usually eat! "
"As for Liu family Head!" Lü Bu looked at the head of the nobles. "Han dynasty, Zhongshan Prince Jing's descendant, the entire Wan Cheng city calls you Liu Bancheng. You actually gave me two hundred dan of grain. Are you trying to send a beggar away?! Do you think that I, Lü Bu, am easy to bully?! When I opened your Liu family's granary, I found out that calling you Bancheng is belittling you. A full fifty thousand dan! Wan Cheng city's tax burden is only five thousand dan a year. Your granary is actually worth ten years of Wan Cheng city's tax burden. Haha, you are telling me that you are in a troubled time?! "
"Is this the reason why you, Lü Fengxian, took our grain!" Chen Yao stood up. Others may be afraid of Lü Bu, but he wasn't afraid. He and Lü Bu had a grudge.
"Yes, we didn't give you any grain. Is that our will? You directly sent troops. That is robbing, that is robbing! " With Chen Yao taking the lead, these nobles continued to clamor. The grain was more than half of their wealth. Among the nobles present, only those who were in the salt and iron business suffered the least loss.
"Oh, that's your will? Okay, I didn't force you. If you want to donate, then donate! If you don't want to, I won't force you. If I have grain, I will give you double the compensation. What else do you want? "Lü Bu indifferently said.
"Yes, you didn't force us, but you robbed our granary and emptied our rice store!" Chen Yao retorted.
"Oh, really? Whether you want to donate or not is your business. Whether I rob or not is also my business! "
"You are a robber, a thief!"
"Haha, I am a robber, a thief, so what? Don't tell me you want to bite me! "Lü Bu didn't know why he was influenced by Liu Mang after staying with him for a long time.
"You, you, Lü Fengxian, don't go too far!" Chen Yao pointed at Lü Bu and scolded him.
"I am bullying you, so what? Let me tell you, I gave you face, but you don't want it! I borrowed from you, but you didn't want it. You forced me to be serious with you! I know you are thinking about Sun Ce, thinking about the Jiangdong Army, thinking that I, Lü Bu, will not be able to defend Wancheng city without grain. If I defend Lujiang, then you can drive me out! Yes! Your idea is good! The Jiangdong Army is much stronger than my Lvbu's Army! But there is one thing you forgot! Here! Wancheng city, at least for now, is my, Lü Bu's territory. Here, I, Lü Bu, am the master. It is not your turn to point fingers! "
"Slave of three surnames, father's son!" Chen Yao pointed at Lü Bu's nose and scolded.
"Huh?!" Lü Bu's eyes narrowed. This Chen Yao and Chen Rui are the same? "Do you know how your brother died?"
"You killed my brother and now you want to kill me? Come on then, come on then! Kill me, I want to see how you can stay in Wancheng city and Lujiang! "
"General Lü, don't make a mistake!" Liu Kai also opened his mouth. Although he also wanted to see Chen Yao and Lü Bu fall out, he did not want Lü Bu to kill Chen Yao.
"Do you also think so?!" Lü Bu looked at the nobles below and asked.
Looking at the disdainful eyes of the nobles.
Lü Bu smiled, "Since you all think so, then if I don't kill him, then I will be letting down your expectations!"
"You …!" Before Chen Yao could finish his sentence, he was rendered speechless. He finally knew how his brother died. He finally knew why his brother's body had a purple color.
Lü Bu threw Chen Yao's body aside as if he was throwing garbage, "Pass down my order, besiege the Chen Mansion. None of the Chen Family's children will be spared. Execute them all!"
