Chapter 747 Guilty
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
In the evening, Sun Ce arrived as promised. Four hundred Yi Congying camps stood with swords under the leadership of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and two hundred Yi Congying cavalry led by Yan Xing and arranged on both sides. Six hundred soldiers were fully armed and looked serious. When they stood in front of the Xu family, even the wind was cold. The people nearby avoided each other, and there was no stranger within a hundred steps.
Xu Chun and his son stood at the door. Seeing this scene, they were both frightened and looked at each other. Xu Chun looked at Xu Min and whispered: "Shuming, are you all ready?"
Xu Min nodded vigorously. "Aweng, don't worry, you are ready, you are foolproof. No matter how smart Sun Ce is, he will not doubt us. At that time, throw the prepared evidence at the scene and let Sun Ce find Chen Bai and settle the score. In a few months, he will not be able to get out of the mountain."
Xu Chun also nodded vigorously to cheer himself up. In order not to let Sun Ce grab the handle, he deliberately took action this time instead of letting people related to the Xu family take action. Chen Bai and others had a history of rebellion, but later they became Yellow Turbans, which was shameless and not many people knew about it. They also had a life-and-death hatred with Sun Jian, and the sneak attack on Sun Ce was justified, but it was just instigated by others. Even if Sun Ce suspected them, he could not find any evidence.
At this time, Sun Ce walked through Yi Cong's team and came to the door. Xu Chun quickly picked up his clothes, stepped forward quickly, grabbed Sun Ce's reins, and smiled. "How can you be safe? I haven't seen you for a day, as if you've been three autumns, Chun led his whole family to congratulate the general for a long time."
Sun Ce turned over and dismounted and bowed to show his respect. "Mr. Xu is so polite, how can a boy bear it?"
While being modest, Xu Chun signaled his sons to come forward to meet him. Sun Ce didn't see Xu Min last time, but this time he couldn't help but look at him twice. Xu Min was uneasy and smiled a little reluctantly. Seeing this, Xu Chun quickly stepped forward and interrupted and led Sun Ce into the door. Sun Ce waved his hand and signaled Xu Chun not to worry. Xu Chun was puzzled, but saw Sun Ce turning around and waved, dozens of ox carts were led over, each cart was filled with boxes of large and small sizes, squeaking trumpets, and the ox pulling the cart looked a little difficult.
Xu Chun was puzzled. "General, this is..."
"Last time I received a warm hospitality from Mr. Xu, but I came to disturb him again today. I was really sorry. It is impolite to come but not to be polite. Please don't bother Xu. Some of the goods are planned to be transferred to Mr. Xu, which is not too much, about 20 to 30 million. Mr. Xu, you have such a big family business, 20 to 30 million should be fine, right?"
Xu Chun complained secretly. Wang Zhen said that the total price of Sun Ce's goods was about 50 million yuan, and he had to transfer it to him for 20 to 30 million yuan, and he would give him some more. Half of it will be left for Chen Baijian? The loss is too small. Will Sun Ce not care? Just forget it? But Sun Ce has already brought the goods, so he can't let Sun Ce take it back again, otherwise Sun Ce would be angry and turn around and leave. Today's preparation would be ruined.
"I'm doing my best and doing my best." Xu Chun called his eldest son Xu Jing and asked him to receive the goods.
"Thank you Mr. Xu."
Sun Ce and Xu Chun walked side by side to the courtyard. Pang Tong, Xiang Lang and others followed him into the door, but Dian Wei and others remained still. No matter how Xu Min greeted him, they ignored him. Xu Chun heard this, stopped and looked at Sun Ce.
Sun Ce smiled and waved his hand. "Mr. Xu doesn't have to care. These are all rough people. They know how to fight and kill. They don't even know the words. How could they guess riddles? When they come in, they will only ruin the atmosphere and scare other guests. Let them stay outside, so we can feel at ease to enjoy the lanterns."
"But these warriors are standing at the door, how dare anyone come?" Xu Chun pretended to be cheerful and joked. "The general is afraid of too many opponents who guess the riddles, and he is worried about losing, right?"
Sun Ce laughed. "Don't worry, there will be people who understand riddles to come to entertain themselves later, and they are masters. Mr. Xu, I would like to remind you in advance that he is a child of the Yang family of the fourth generation and the third generation. He is extremely smart. I am very curious if your riddles are enough to guess."
Although Xu Chun had never left Wujun in his life, his father Xu Qing had been an official for many years and was not unfamiliar with the Yang family of the Hong family. He was relieved to learn that the Yang family had children who followed Sun Ce. If this person stayed on the boat and was accidentally injured by Chen Bai and others, it would be a big trouble. He repeatedly asked Sun Ce to let Dian Wei and others enter the hospital, so as not to stand at the door, so as not to scare others. Sun Ce followed his good manners and ordered Yi to enter the door from the infantry and cavalry. Dian Wei and Xu Chu were responsible for each side and surrounded the main courtyard, and even the Xu family's troops were isolated. Yan Xingze led Yi to patrol in front of the door and keep alert.
Seeing that Sun Ce took over his yard, Xu Chun was not nervous, but secretly despised him. He invited Sun Ce as a guest. Sun Ce had no reason to be unfavorable to him. This was because Sun Ce did too many evils and felt guilty, afraid that someone would not be good to him. So he brought so many people everywhere he went. How good is it to be. The more people there are, the fewer people left behind, and Chen and the others will be able to attack and run away more easily.
Xu Chun accompanied Sun Ce to the main hall and sat down to talk. Not long after, Wang Zhen also arrived. When he passed the main gate, he saw a truckload of goods dragged into the Xu family, thinking that Xu Chun and Sun Ce had agreed. Xu Chun was amused and crying, so he told Wang Zhen about the situation. Wang Zhen was also a little confused and at a loss. He was about to withdraw, but Sun Ce grabbed him.
"Where is Wang Juncheng going?"
"I'll go and see the goods."
"Then what's good about it? Just let them deal with it. I have something to ask you for advice." Sun Ce said without saying a word and pressed Wang Zhen on his seat. "Have you been there for a few days, when will you be able to come back? I want to visit him before leaving. Will you be more convenient? Also, will the new Yangzhou governor come to Wuxian? If you come, I will also visit him and see who he is."
When he heard that Sun Ce was about to meet Xu Gong and Liu Yao, Wang Zhen didn't care about other things anymore, so he quickly explained to Sun Ce. Sun Ce was reasonable and learned that Xu Gong had not come back yet and did not know when he would come back, so he didn't ask again. Wang Zhen was still thinking about the goods, so he took a break and asked, "General, how much goods do you have in your hands?"
"There are more than 40 million left. Why, Wang Juncheng found a buyer again?"
Wang Zhen was surprised and happy. "How could there be so many?"
Sun Ce smiled. "What I told you before was only the goods I had on hand, and it was not considered to be rewarded to the soldiers. Didn't I fight a war in Danyang a year ago? Military merits are always rewarded, and there are 20 to 30 million. I originally planned to bring them to Kuaiji and let them sell them themselves. If there are buyers to buy them, of course I would like to exchange them for cash. It's okay to exchange them for food. Thousands of people and horses, the daily food consumption is also a considerable amount."
Looking at Sun Ce who was worried about money and food, Wang Zhen and Xu Chun looked at each other and smiled, and a big stone in their hearts finally let go.
"Don't worry, General, give me two days, and I will definitely find a buyer to relieve my worries."
Sun Ce also smiled and patted Wang Zhen's elbow. "Then I will thank Wang Junzhu."
