In Jianye, in the Zuo family's mansion, the governor, Zuo Li, was lying on the bed. "Ouch! Ouch!" Zuo Li was in great pain as he lay on the hospital bed. He was already old and this was another round of beatings. Although it was only three beatings, his old body couldn't take it.
"What a sin, what a sin! Who is it? How could they beat our master like this? "An old woman was taking care of Zuo Li on the bed. She was Zuo Li's wife and she was already in her fifties. She was considered an old woman in Jiangdong.
"It's the Lord's newly appointed Zhuge Changshi!" Someone who looks very similar to Zuo Li is called Duke Zuo. Now, he was beaten up by an outsider brat. Where is our Zuo family's face? If we go out in the future, how will the other landowning households look at us? " The young master of the Zuo family was furious. His father had been beaten up and he was in such a good mood because the person who had beaten him was his superior. If it had been Zhang Zhao, it would have been pardonable. After all, Zhang Zhao was an established noble family in Jiangdong and he was the boss of the noble family. It was an honor for a younger brother to be beaten up. However, who was this Zhuge Jin? The young man's tone was not bad as he said, "Back then, when my family was in Jiangdong, even if Yan Baihu had offered us tribute, which one of them wasn't my father? He was just an outsider and he had no backing. The Zuo family couldn't stand being beaten up like this. The other noble families would laugh at the Zuo family.
The nobles of Jiangdong were not united. After all, there were only so many benefits. Naturally, there would be disputes.
The reason why Bu Lu beat Zuo Li was to beat Zuo Li and make the Zuo family a joke. It was to tell the other nobles of Jiangdong to be obedient. Otherwise, they would end up like the Zuo family.
"Lord Wu Hou is getting more and more muddle-headed. Jiangdong will be defeated in his hands sooner or later!" Zuo Li's son, Zuo Jie said resentfully.
"Be careful with your words!" Zuo Li said to his son. Jiangdong was originally Sun Ce's territory. It was better not to go too far. In the past, the Zuo family supported Yan Baihu and Xu Gong. But in the end, they had no choice but to support Sun Ce.
Zuo Li's heart was full of resentment. Who does this Zhuge Jin think she is? She actually dared to do this to him. Now, he could only lie down on his butt. Even if he sat down, it was still painful. Zuo Li was very resentful. However, no matter how resentful he was, he had to endure it. After all, Sun Ce was his superior. This time, Sun Ce's attitude towards the nobles had changed. This was because the nobles of Jiangdong were too close to Sun Quan. Zhang Zhao was Sun Ce's best friend. Sun Ce even removed Zhang Zhao's position. Although Zuo Li was stubborn, he was not stupid. If he was not careful, his Zuo family would not be able to bear the consequences like the Zhang family. So this beating was in vain.
"Master, master!" When Zuo Li's family was sighing bitterly, a person who looked like a servant rushed towards Zuo Li's bedroom. "Bad news! Bad news!"
"What are you shouting for? Don't you know the rules? " Zuo Jie was annoyed when he saw this servant who didn't know what was good for him. He went up and slapped him, causing the servant to cry out in pain. "Your family's old master is doing very well! Bad luck! Dog, don't you know how to speak human language? Do you want me to teach you? "Zuo Jie slapped the servant.
If Zuo Li did not stop him, perhaps the servant's face would have been swollen. Even so, the servant's face was still red and round. People who did not know him would think that he was fat.
"Zuo Feng? Aren't you going? " Zuo Li stopped talking halfway. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. He said to his son, "Go, close the door and don't let anyone in!" Although Zuo Jie did not know why his father did this, he still obeyed and closed the door. He also sent people to guard the courtyard and not let anyone in.
"Is there any news?" Zuo Li asked Zuo Feng beside him. Zuo Feng was sent by Zuo Li to hang around Marquis Wu's mansion. They did not know about Marquis Wu's attitude towards Jiangdong's nobles. They were afraid that Marquis Wu would implicate them because of the second young master's matter.
"Yes, master, there is news. Not good." Zuo Feng was about to start making a fuss over nothing again. Seeing Zuo Jie raise his hand again, Ji Ling was scared out of his wits and didn't dare to exaggerate.
"Speak, what happened? “
"Master! Yangzhou, there is an envoy from Yangzhou! "Zuo Feng said to Zuo Li and Zuo Jie.
"An envoy from Yangzhou?" Zuo Li frowned. Why did Yangzhou send an envoy? Was it to make peace? However, Zuo Li did not care too much about it. "Just this?" Zuo Feng was making a fuss over nothing.
"Master, you know this envoy from Yangzhou." Zuo Feng said to Zuo Li.
"I know him?" Zuo Li was curious. "Who is this Yangzhou envoy?"
"Master, don't you remember the last time you went to Yuhang to drink?" Zuo Feng reminded.
"Lu Family?" Only the Lu Family could make Zuo Li drink in Yuhang.
"Yes, it is the young master of the Lu Family." Zuo Feng followed Zuo Li last time.
"Lu Su?" Zuo Li was stunned for a moment. Lu Su was once the pride of the Lu family. Not only was he talented, but he was also good friends with Jiangdong's Governor Zhou Yu. Therefore, the Lu family was very proud to have such a descendant.
Later, Lu Su was recommended by Governor Zhou Yu to become the military advisor of Jiangdong. He worked under the Lord Sun Ce and made the Lu Family very famous. Even though Lu Su was later captured, the Lu Family spent a lot of money to get him back. At that time, no one dared to look down on the Lu Family. Later, Lu Su followed the second young master to Linhuai. After that, the Lu Family became lonely. According to the news from the second young master, Lu Su was killed by the people of Yangzhou. The last time the Lu Family invited the Zuo Family to eat, they wanted Zuo Li to help them take care of the Lu Family.
They did not expect that the young master of the Lu Family not only did not die, but also came back from Yangzhou and became the envoy of Yangzhou. The situation was really changing.
"It seems that Lu Su and Lu Zijing are not bad in Yangzhou." Zuo Li nodded. Generally speaking, the status of an envoy was not low. For Lu Su to be sent to Jiangdong, it showed that the Lord of Yangzhou valued Lu Su very much.
"Master, this is not the end of it. Do you know what is the most surprising thing?" Zuo Feng started to keep Zuo Li in suspense. If it was only Zuo Li, then Zuo Li would have given him some money to spend. Unfortunately, there was another young master beside him.
Zuo Jie hated people who were startled. "If you have something to say, then say it. Why are you so troublesome?" Zuo Jie said and kicked him.
After receiving such a kick, Zuo Feng felt a lot better. "Master, that Marquis Wu, Marquis Wu actually personally went to the gate to greet the envoy of Yangzhou. He even helped the envoy with his horse!" Zuo Feng said with grievance.
"What!" Zuo Li suddenly turned over. This turn was very painful, but Zuo Li did not care about it. "Are you sure you did not see wrongly?" Zuo Li stared at his servant.
"It is absolutely true. This lowly one did not see wrongly. If Master does not believe me, you can go find some commoners. They all saw it at the gate!"
"Quickly carry Jiao, prepare Jiao!" Zuo Li endured the pain on his buttocks and gnashed his teeth.
