Chapter 2443 The Drama of Betrayal(2/2)

The Lu family had suffered heavy setbacks before, and the Jiangdong nobles had made promises both overt and covert. Therefore, Lu Xun's current focus was on guarding against Sun Quan and showing weakness first. Although he gave up a lot of food and wealth, it also made the Lu family in this turmoil

Among them, take the lead and establish an invincible position.

The excess food and grass from the Sun family has been used for disaster relief, and at the same time, it is in the name of Sun Quan, making it difficult for others to find any bones in the eggs!

At the same time, after this period of soup giving, plus a ten-day buffer period, the refugees will know that there is no food and grass in the Lu family, and they will continue to come to the Lu family unless they want to rebel, riot, or plunder.

Manor, otherwise you will get nothing, it is better to go to other places, so it is equivalent to the fact that in terms of refugees, Lu has also obtained "exemption" first...

In ten days, the entire Lu family will be completely free from this turmoil!

All that was paid was some stale food and grass from the manor...

Of course, not everyone can have a strategy like Lu Xun, who can find the most advantageous path in a chaotic situation. There are still many people who are greedy for money, and even want money at the expense of their lives.

As disasters expanded and conflicts became increasingly acute, bloodshed inevitably occurred.

Of course, the death of ordinary people will not have much impact. It was the death of the Anwu County Magistrate that plunged the entire Jiangdong into hopeless chaos...

Anwu is located in the south of Jingxian County. The magistrate of Anwu is a newly promoted son of Sun Quan from a poor family. Naturally, he wanted to do something in front of Sun Quan. After receiving the order to allocate grain and grass, he immediately read it to the big local households.

The administrative order requires large households to pay grain and grass immediately.

How could a big business be willing to do so? First they would drag it with them neither soft nor hard nor salty nor bland, and then they would just say they were sick and disappear.

The magistrate of Anwu County was anxious. Seeing that he could not complete the task, he was afraid that he would be hated by Sun Quan, so he got angry and prepared people to attack the big family. However, he did not know whether it was because he came from a poor family and did not have much experience in internal politics of the family.

, the Anwu County Magistrate was not prepared enough for his subordinates, and the news quickly leaked out.

When the powerful family saw that they could not do anything good, they kept doing nothing and hired assassins to directly kill the magistrate of Anwu County.

In the Han Dynasty, it was not uncommon for local powerful people to spend money to assassinate officials. Historically, Liu Bei, Tai Shici and others were assassinated. Fei Qian also encountered assassinations before. As for the magistrate of Anwu County,

Firstly, he was not brave enough, secondly, he had no expert guards, and thirdly, he did not have the reputation or reputation of benevolence like Liu Bei, so it was inevitable that he would die.

After the murder, people from the big family spread the news, saying that the county magistrate was killed by the refugees. They originally wanted to close the case, but this matter was smelled by Jian Yan, who had a problem with Lu Xun...

Jian Yan, who was worried that there was no breakthrough, immediately felt that he had found a breakthrough. He set off overnight and led his troops straight to Anwu. Without saying a word, he captured the whole family of the big family and collected a lot of them.

With the "relevant" evidence, the entire families of these wealthy families were escorted back to Wu County.

Originally, there was indeed a problem with the big family in this matter, but the problem was that Lu Yi, who received the follow-up trial of the big family's case, wanted to involve more people from this big family as if he had found a treasure...

Then there were rumors that Lu 1 rushed into the prison immediately after the big family's whole family was thrown into the Wu County Prison. Not only did he use severe punishment, but he also had people bully the big family in front of him.

His wife and daughter suppressed the big man mentally and physically, not only to coerce the big man to confess his crime, but also to bite other people.

This kind of behavior that obviously crossed the line naturally caused a bigger disturbance...

Normally speaking, not all the Jiangdong nobles are fools. Even the big man who was arrested knows that you can't drain the lake to catch the fish. These people will spit out some leftovers after eating the big head, pretending to be kind-hearted.

These disaster victims may even come out to donate rice and porridge like the Lu family. After all, some people still need to be preserved to facilitate continued farming after the disaster. This is also in the interests of large households.

Under the disaster relief provided by the government, the victims cannot be completely resettled. Due to various circumstances, there are always some people who have to change from self-cultivating farmers to selling themselves into slavery, or becoming tenants or proletarians, putting aside their dignity to ask for help.

It is difficult to survive, and large local households also take advantage of this opportunity to complete further land acquisition and capital accumulation.

Therefore, if Sun Quan is willing to put down some interests and carry out disaster relief, this disaster will be over soon.

It's a pity that Sun Quan, who was so angry, didn't want to give in at all. Even if Lu Su tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen. Ji Yan and Lu Yi, who had found the "evidence of the crime", began to arrest them on a large scale. Suddenly, the prison was overcrowded.
