Chapter 2174 Light and Shadow(1/2)
No one will let go of their vested interests easily.
Especially after having something once and then losing it again, it’s so heart-breaking and painful...
Living alone in a simple courtyard, Lu Yi felt somewhat miserable.
Because Lu Yi lost his original authority, although he still got Sun Quan's attention, but attention is still importance. When Sun Quan was in Wu Commandery, he could still make a living out of his attention. After Sun Quan left, no one would criticize him.
Already.
The reason why he feels pain and pain in his heart is because Lu Yi boasts about himself. Well, it’s not really self-promotion. Lu Yi’s father once told him that the Lu family was of noble birth, better than any of the four current Jiangdong families or even the Sun family.
Noble, my ancestors were extremely glorious back then and were once the masters of a country, but now they are living in such a small shabby courtyard.
Lu Yi searched for information. According to legend, in ancient times, Boyi once assisted Emperor Yao in charge of the four mountains. Later, he helped Dayu to control the floods and became Dayu's "Minister of Lu", so he was named Luhou. In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, he was a prince.
country.
In the early Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Lu was destroyed by the State of Chu. After that, the descendants took the country as their surname and scattered in Han, Wei, Qi, and Lu. They became the authentic surname of Lu, and Boyi was the ancestor of the Lu family...
The title of prince in the Western Han Dynasty is now a laughing stock, let alone the Lu family who was wiped out from the Spring and Autumn Period. Of course, from a certain perspective, the Lu State before the Spring and Autumn Period may be like a certain African country in later generations.
There are always some people in the emirate in this region who foolishly think that the name is good and the style is high.
In addition, Lu Yi really used his heart at that time, and found some people to praise him, and spent all the remaining money in the family, which also made the family that was not very wealthy in the first place even worse... Well, there is always something unusual about this description.
a sense of familiarity...
Being able to spend money is not a problem; not being able to make money is a problem.
Before Lu Yi could make back the money he had spent, he was removed from power.
The people who did it were no one else, but the four major Jiangdong families.
As for why the four Jiangdong families attacked him, the reason is very simple. As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on its owner, and sometimes it turns into beating a dog to show its owner...
Lu Yi's family is simple, his background is small, and there is no connection between left and right, so after beating Lu Yi, it will not be contaminated by others, and the way Lu Yi jumps up and down is really annoying.
However, for Lu Yi, this incident was simply a disaster!
For ordinary people, in Han Dynasty, it is not possible to become an official just by wanting to be an official...
Why Lu Yi was appreciated by Sun Quan was not because of how famous Lu Yi was, but because Lu Yi appeared at the right place at the right time!
Sun Quan wanted to cooperate with Jiangdong's big families, but at the same time he couldn't completely rely on Jiangdong's big families, so Sun Quan needed some people to help him contain these Jiangdong big families, so people like Lu Yi, Pan Zhang, Zhou Tai, etc. became Sun Quan's
Minions.
To become a minion, you must have the consciousness of a minion.
Does the lackey at the door have to watch the door for his master when his master is not at home?
Even if he is abandoned by Sun Quan now...
Lu Yi believes that he will be reused, and he will definitely be. In order for that day to come as soon as possible, Lu Yi must be prepared at all times.
There was a knock on the courtyard door...
Lu Yi shivered and woke up from his deep thoughts. He hurriedly came out of the living room and opened the door of the small courtyard. When the people came into the courtyard, Lu Yi habitually stretched out half of his head and went out to look around.
I looked at it and then closed the courtyard door.
"How?" Lu Yi asked, "What's the news?"
"Hey hey hey..." The person smiled wickedly and did not answer immediately.
Lu Yi reluctantly reached out and touched his arms, then gritted his teeth, took out a small bunch of large Zhengxi coins, and patted it into the man's outstretched palm.
"Young Master Lu is so heroic!" After taking the money, he naturally boasted, and the visitor said with a smile, "Outside the east gate... Zhang Dimao set up wine and invited a lot of people... South of the city... nothing happened... West of the city?"
, Mrs. Wang’s 60th birthday, he also invited many people..."
Lu Yi nodded while listening, then glared, "That's it?!"
The visitor turned around and left with a smile, "I have a piece of news. There are a few new faces at Wang's Restaurant in the south of the city... Okay, Mr. Lu, stay here. I'll see you later, Mr. Lu..."
Lu Yi was so angry that he glared and cursed: "If you continue to use these shabby things to get money, just don't do it anymore!"
"Next time, I'll do it, next time..." The visitor laughed and left. I don't know if he meant that he would be more serious next time, or that he would still be immodest next time.
Lu Yi closed the courtyard door and walked into the living room with his hands behind his back, thinking at the same time.
Spending money to buy information is the only thing Lu Yi can do, who lives at home but has his heart in the court. It also makes him feel that he is not too far away from the court. Perhaps most of the information is not of much use.
, but Lu Yi believes that one day these things may come in handy...
"The four damn families...the four damn families...will catch you sooner or later..."
Lu Yi took a long breath and tried to straighten his waist to make himself look more imposing, but he soon gave up.
After all, the dog will only gain momentum when its master comes back.
And now, Sun Quan is coming back soon.
……( ̄▽ ̄)“……
The night is getting darker.
In the darkness, the streets that were supposed to gradually become quiet now suddenly became noisy for some unknown reason. The surrounding shops and courtyards were alarmed. The sound of shouting, crowing of chickens and barking of dogs made many people sneak or walk.
Climb on the wall of your home and take a look, or open a crack in the door and take a look.
"I'm going to eat meat and drink wine with you today!"
Wang Erlaizi said hello as he walked forward. Although some scattered idlers along the way didn't understand what was going on, they were moved when they saw the current situation, secretly covered their faces with their robes, and followed behind.
Taking advantage of the trouble, taking advantage of the fire and fishing in troubled waters are simply two skills that are necessary for idlers. As the saying goes, if you don't open for three years, you will survive for three years if you open. Anyone who doesn't know how to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit is not considered an idler.
Why are cities basically closed at night and enforcing curfews?
Because the bigger the city is, the more it eats people.
Then there are always times when those who are eaten can't help it, so Wu Jun, although he doesn't make a fuss about seeing each other every day and applying it in the morning and evening, there are still a few times every year, either because of this or that.
But most of the time, some people are forced to make a fuss because they can no longer survive.
The commotion is usually not too big. In many cases, it is nothing more than beating a few people, smashing some shops, and destroying some ordinary houses. As for the big households with soldiers guarding and servants guarding them, basically even a hair on the head is injured.
No, so in many cases, these big households usually don't come out. No matter how noisy they are, they will disperse before dawn, and someone will naturally come to clean up the mess.
But this time it's different.
Normally, the reason for rioting is to find someone to reason with and express their grievances, so most of the people who make trouble are shouting and shouting, and rarely take action. However, Wang Erlaizi and others came with the intention of taking action from the beginning...
After a store was smashed, the original chaos escalated into a riot.
Those who had grabbed something no longer had any worries. The excited laughter and shouts stimulated everyone's nerves, and for a moment everything around them was shrouded in frenzy!
The crowd roared past, and in the blink of an eye everyone's eyes were red. They were tearing, shouting, and yelling everywhere. The entire order in the south of Wujun City was completely destroyed.
The person who got the money and artifacts further stimulated others, and the fire began to surge. I don't know who set the first fire, and then more people with red eyes, chasing the smell of the property, swarmed towards them.
go!
"There's wine here!"
"There is food here!"
Chaotic whistling sounds, one after another, collided and stirred in the streets and alleys of Wujun Nancheng. Black smoke billowed up, and countless sounds collided, like a pot of boiling hot porridge that had been knocked to the ground.
The bubbles are planted, and the heat waves evaporate.
Wang Erlaizi and others did not fully understand what Zhang Dimao wanted to do. After all, their level was too low. However, under the pressure of a hungry and full life, they could find an opportunity to stir up trouble.
It is also common to acquire some wealth.
Besides, just like what Zhang Dimao said, as long as you don't intrude on the streets and mansions of the nobles in Beicheng, it won't be a big deal. As long as you're not particularly unlucky enough to hit the edge of the knife, you can go to the city after grabbing everything.
If you look into the alleys, you will see that everyone is a good citizen of Jiangdong, a big man and a kind common people!
Besides, Sun Quan is not really a good lord. The Sun family has been in Jiangdong these years, and it has not brought any good futures to Wang Erlaizi and others. Some idle men among them accepted the conscription and became soldiers.
, the money and food received were also discounted, who knows how much was eaten!
The resentment and dissatisfaction suppressed by life were absurdly triggered on such a night, exploded, spread and burned...
…ε(●-●)(●-●)(●-●)…
Outside the east water gate of Wujun City, there are several moored ships, far apart from other ordinary ships.
In the cabin of one of the ships, it seemed that he was Sun Fu who had rebelled in Juzhang.
Sun Fu surrendered and was led back to Wu Commandery.
Sun Fu did not wear any armor, and he did not even wear the crown of ordinary nobles. He just wore a simple cloth robe and a cloak to protect him from the wind and cold.
After the Juzhang Rebellion, Sun Fu realized something was wrong. On the one hand, it was because the rebellion started too suddenly, and on the other hand, it was too smooth.
It's like there's a road already opened. Although it's convenient to walk there, it's empty...
The subsequent evolution became even more interesting. Under the restriction of Mrs. Wu, no one from the Sun family went to Juzhang to quell the rebellion, and the surrounding counties and towns did not send troops.
But things can't stand still forever, just like time can't stand still, and people can't come back from the dead.
It's late at night, most people have fallen asleep, the breeze is coming slowly, and the water is calm.
To be continued...
