The crime of rebellion was the biggest crime in any dynasty!
Now that Sun Ce had come in and said that he wanted to check for evidence of rebellion, as long as Sun Ce came in, the Xu family would be charged with evidence regardless of whether they were plotting rebellion or not!
After some hesitation, Father Xu said coldly,"
"I don't care whose orders you're under. In short, my Xu family is not someone you can bully at will!”
"There is no rebellion in my family!"
"Get out!"
However, although his voice was loud, it could not affect the soldiers who were charging towards the Xu family.
Only Sun Ce had a cold expression on his face as he slowly walked into the hall with dozens of personal guards.
"What did you just say?"
"You didn't rebel?"
When Father Xu heard this, he was instantly furious.
"How could we rebel!"
"I'm warning you, don't think that just because Sun Jian is the provincial governor, he can do whatever he wants!”
"If you dare to touch my Xu family today, I'll go to the imperial court tomorrow to complain!”
Xu Sui, who was standing behind Father Xu, also said angrily,"
"Yes, it's fine that you captured my nephew, but now you're slandering my nephew for treason!”
"Is there any justice in this world?”
The moment the two elders appeared, the group of Xu disciples also started to clamor: "
"Do you know that my Xu family is spread all over the Central Plains? Do you think you can touch my Xu family?”
"Go back and tell Sun Jian that my Xu family did not rebel!”
"Get out of my Xu family!"
It must be said that the Xu clan was used to being domineering in Wu County.
At this moment, he still maintained his previous attitude when facing these soldiers who had suddenly appeared.
As they spoke, Sun Ce's face turned darker and darker.
He held the sword in one hand and stepped forward. He said coldly,
"What did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly. Did you say that you want me to go out?”
"That's right!"
When Father Xu saw this, his eyes widened.
"I don't care who you are..."
But before he could finish his words, Sun Ce had already drawn his sword.
Shua!
In an instant, blood splattered!
Father Xu watched in disbelief as Sun Ce's sword sliced his neck.
In this split second, Xu Sui was stunned. He pointed at Sun Ce and said with a trembling finger,"
"How dare you…How dare you!"
Puchi!
Before he could finish speaking, Sun Ce's sword had already pierced into his abdomen.
Two streams of hot blood gushed out, instantly turning Sun Ce into a bloody man.
However, Sun Ce was like an ice mountain. After killing two people in a row, he shouted coldly,
"All soldiers, listen up! Anyone from the Xu Clan who disobeys orders and rebels will be killed!”
"Kill them!"
When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they immediately drew their sabers and charged at the Xu disciples.
As these soldiers moved, the Xu disciples in the hall were already extremely shocked.
They had never expected Sun Ce to choose to attack directly!
However, these young masters didn't expect that when the guests saw this, they knew that Sun Jian was determined to destroy the Xu family today!
"Brothers, let's fight it out with them!"
As one of them shouted, dozens of hanger-ons rushed toward Sun Ce.
However, in the next second, they were met with dozens of personal guards.
At the same time, the soldiers outside and Gan Ning, who had already rushed in, no longer hesitated. They raised their sabers and filed into the manor.
For a moment, the entire Xu Manor was in a bloodbath.
Amidst the cries of killing, the arrogant disciples of the Xu clan began to flee in all directions, shouting for mercy.
"Don't kill me, I'm not a relative of the Xu family!”
"I didn't say anything just now!”
"Spare me!"
As he spoke, everyone dispersed.
Some of the more vigilant ones immediately ran towards the courtyard wall and jumped onto it in a panic. However, as soon as they reached the wall, they were shot into a beehive by the archers lying in ambush.
Seeing this, the Xu family members immediately understood.
The entire Xu family had been completely surrounded.
What Sun Jian wanted to do was to prevent anyone from escaping!
After realizing this, the entire Xu family fell into despair.
At the same time, as the Xu Clan's battle cries rang out, the entire Wu County City fell into a state of panic.
When the commoners heard this voice, they all shut their doors and did not leave.
As the great clans listened, they either sent their servants to secretly investigate the situation or carried ladders to climb higher ground.
However, what shocked them was that the Xu family was not the only one surrounded by the army.
In the city, on the streets, teams of soldiers in bright armor were patrolling, preventing the city from being attacked.
The footsteps of a large number of soldiers patrolling resounded throughout Wu County.
It heavily stepped on everyone's hearts.
It was not until 35 minutes later that the massacre in the Xu Manor ended.
Following that, the surviving Xu clansmen were escorted out.
After dealing with the Xu family in the city, Sun Jianjun extended his hand to all the branches outside the city.
For a moment, the entire city and outside the city were filled with shouts and killing cries.
...
When dawn arrived, a thorough search officially ended.
On the streets of Wu County, the blood had been completely cleaned up.
Outside Wu County, beside the moat.
With Sun Jian's signal, the citizens of Wu City were informed of the execution.
Under the morning sun, Wang Can stood on the city gate and was reading out the crimes of the Xu family loudly.
Compared to the three crimes Baili Ming had listed yesterday, there were more than ten more today.
They were all temporarily listed today.
At this moment, the whole city fell silent when the dozen or so crimes were read out. All the citizens looked at the moat quietly. There was numbness, hatred, and pleasure in their eyes.
On the other side of the moat, the people of the Xu family knelt on the ground and wailed.
Some of them were minor officials in the city.
There were also those who were usually domineering.
Naturally, there were also Xu branches.
Men and women, old and young, wailed in unison, their voices resounding throughout Wu County.
Apart from the main family, the evil slaves, and the branches, the cries, pleas, and curses of hundreds of people interweaved.
The shock caused the heads of the four families of Wu and Zhong, who had been invited to the front by Sun Jian, to be shocked.
Beside them, under the protection of the generals, Sun Jian looked at everyone and smiled.
"Do you think our army is too cruel?”
Cruel?
Of course it was cruel.
However, they did not dare to say anything.
Zhang Yi immediately said with a serious expression,
"Where did you get that from?"
"Xu Gong has committed a heinous crime!"
"Even the Xu Clan has been acting like a tyrant all these years!”
"What you have done today is very satisfying!”
When Zhu Mian, the head of the Zhu family, heard this, he hurriedly said,
"You did the right thing!"
"Xu Gong is guilty of treason. He should exterminate the three clans!”
"Before, we didn't know that this person had such sinister intentions. Now it seems that this person should be exterminated!”
"Oh?"
When Sun Jian saw that the two clan heads had expressed their stance, he immediately smiled and said,
"If you do it right, that would be great!”
As he spoke, his eyes drifted to the two people beside Zhang Yi and Zhu Mian.
One of the two was tall, but his body was rather thin. He could not be considered young and had a short beard.
This person was Gu Yong, the head of the Gu family.
The person beside Gu Yong was called Lu Jun, and he was Lu Jun's cousin. Although he was not the head of the Lu family, he was still the head of the Lu family in River East.
He was currently pulling a child.
Facing Sun Jian's gaze, Gu Yong's face was expressionless. He only said indifferently,
"The crime of treason should be exterminated!"
When Lu Jun saw this, a hint of pity appeared on his face.
"Although the envoy's actions are in accordance with the laws of the country, he still lost hundreds of lives!”
"Haha…"
Hearing this, Sun Jian smiled and said,"
"What does Mr. Lu mean by this? Do you think that the Xu family shouldn't be wiped out?”
This time, his goal was not only to eliminate the hidden danger, but also to confirm the attitude of these aristocratic families.
Now, the Gu family, Zhang family, and Zhu family had all expressed their stance.
Then what did Lu Jun's words mean?
"This... Cough, cough, cough…I don't mean anything!"
When Lu Jun saw Sun Jian's gaze, a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, a tender voice sounded,"
"Father's meaning should be that the Provincial Governor did the right thing, but if these people are killed, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the Provincial Governor's reputation!”
As soon as this voice was heard, the scene instantly froze.
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice.
The person who spoke was the child beside Lu Jun.
When Lu Jun heard this, his expression immediately changed. He shouted coldly at his child,
"Little child, this is not the place for you to speak. Shut up!”
Then, he quickly cupped his hands and begged Sun Jian,
"Envoy, a child's words have no fear.”
However, Sun Jian's interest was piqued when he heard the child's words. He patted the child's head and smiled.
"Aren't you afraid that Lord Envoy is going to kill someone?”
Faced with Sun Jian's concern, the child shook his little head and said with his eyes wide open,
"Lord Envoy isn't a bad person. He killed a bad person. Why should I be afraid?”
"Oh?"
When Sun Jian heard this, he was surprised. Then, he grinned and said,
"Hahahaha... Good, good, good child!
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Jun meaningfully and said,
"I heard that your son's name is Lu Yi?"
When Lu Jun heard this, he hurriedly said,
"Milord, my son's name is Lu Yi.”
"Good, you have a good son!”
Sun Jian smiled and turned his head to look into the distance. He said meaningfully,
"This child's future is limitless. With this child around, your Lu family will not decline!”
Without waiting for Lu Jun's reply, he said to Zu Mao beside him,"
"Darong, execute him!"
Now that he had gotten the answer he wanted, there was no point in waiting any longer.
When Zu Mao heard this, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said,"
"Yes!"
After responding, he immediately galloped out and shouted loudly,
"The provincial governor has ordered the execution!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, sabers were raised in unison. Hundreds of soldiers responded in unison, ignoring those who were struggling and swinging their sabers down.
As the blades fell, blood flowed into the moat.
For a moment, blood flowed like a river outside Wu County.
......
On this day, Sun Jian beheaded nearly 400 Xu clansmen.
Fresh blood lingered around the moat and flowed for four hours before it was completely drained.
The effect was immediate.
At the scene of the execution, the four families immediately expressed their submission.
Whether it was sincere or fake.
There was no doubt that the deterrent effect of these heads had been deeply reflected in everyone's hearts.
They had just entered the city for a day, and their entire clan had been wiped out!
Such a swift and decisive attitude made these Wuzhong aristocratic families afraid!
However, what came after the big stick was always a sweet date.
On the second day after the execution, Sun Jian's letter of appointment was issued.
The new Wu County Governor was the current head of the Gu Clan, Gu Yong.
Next, Zhang Yi, the Lord of Duty, and Zhu Mian, the Lord of Thief, were promoted to Lujiang County Governor and Jiujiang Chief Book.
Lu Jun of the Lu Clan was appointed as the commandant of Jiujiang.
The moment this appointment letter was sent, the four families of Wuzhong were filled with fear and gratitude, and they were overjoyed.
From then on, Wujun was stable.
......
Two days later.
Sun Jian once again began the military discussion in the Wu County Governor's Office.
This time, the content was very simple.
That was to prepare to head to Kuaiji with the might of victory and complete the final step of River Ding East!
