Chapter 1659 Rumors


    ??Although the sun is still setting in the sky, the sky is blue and there are no clouds in the sky, there are still thunder and lightning in Sun Quan''s heart, and the waves are crashing on the shore.


    Sun Quan''s palace is close to the mountains and rivers, and has a unique shade. It is located at the foot of Dongshan Mountain. The terrain is higher than the other side. You can see far away. The sun shines brightly. If you can look from the pavilion, you will see the Sun family ancestral hall on the opposite side of the mountain. The corner cornices are vividly visible. Wherever there is Sun Jian''s tablet, there is also Sun Ce''s...


    Sun Quan stood in front of the hall with his hands behind his hands, watching Zhou Yu approach step by step.


    “When people talk about the Tao, the music is wrong, Zhou Lang Gu...” Sun Quan forced himself to laugh and said, “I don’t know why there is a wrong song somewhere today...”


    ?Zhou Yu was silent, took two steps forward, and saluted Sun Quan.


    Sun Quan couldn''t help but be stunned for a moment when he saw this, then he realized what he was doing and quickly stepped forward to help him.


    ? So far, Zhou Yu is the first to pay homage to Sun Quan, because on the surface Sun Quan is just a miscellaneous general and a prefect of Kuaiji.


    Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan. Compared with Sun Ce, Sun Quan was more like his mother. Only when his thin lips pursed stubbornly, she looked like Sun Jian. Sun Quan has a high nose bridge, which gives people a serious and deep feeling. His thin lips are pursed. Although there is little beard under the chin, it has gradually gained some appearance. His eye sockets are deep, like a deep pool under the Nine Netherworld, and Sun Ce''s clear and transparent feeling is completely different. It looks like he is close, but in fact he is thousands of miles away, and there is also a vague hostility. It is really a very strange feeling...


    "My lord, you should know the purpose of Yu''s visit..." Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said straight to the point, "What''s going on in the four directions...?"


    ?Sun Quan raised his head and laughed twice: "Nothing!"


    After a while, Sun Quan felt that he wanted to add some additional explanation, and then explained: "Gong Jin is a sincere and open-minded person. You should know that what you heard is not true, and meeting you may not be a happy meeting, which will only increase your worries... My sister-in-law is currently recuperating. At this time, how can you let mundane things invade your body?"


    Of course, this is a reason for explanation, but it is not strong enough.


    ?Zhou Yu was silent and looked at Sun Quan. Since Sun Ce''s death, Zhou Yu has spoken less and more often like now, but he still cannot be ignored by others.


    Sun Quan seemed a little uncomfortable under Zhou Yu''s gaze. He twisted slightly, coughed twice, and turned his eyes aside, deliberately not looking at Zhou Yu.


    "My lord, I came from Baqiu and traveled hundreds of miles..." Zhou Yu said slowly, "If I just heard a common song, wouldn''t I be extremely disappointed?"


    ?Sun Quan looked up at the sky and said after a while: "A common song is also a song..."


    The sun was shining, it was approaching summer, and the temperature was naturally a little warmer. However, near Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, it seemed a bit eerie, like a deep well swallowing up all the temperature. I don''t know that in this deep well, there is a trapped person. On the four walls, it is better to sit in a well and look at the sky, or to break it and then stand...


    Zhou Yu looked down at the mat in front of him, as if the lines on the mat were very unique, and whispered: "I once asked my lord He Zhi... My lord also said something... I wonder if my lord still remembers it?"


    "A certain ambition cannot be expressed..." Sun Quan said slowly, "If it is small, it is only in front of you; if it is big, it is in the world..."


    “Of course.” Zhou Yu nodded, “Do you care about Jinzhi too?”


    Sun Quan was silent for a long time, then nodded firmly and said: "My ambition remains the same! Gong Jin, I swear to God that what I did this time was for the sake of the Sun family''s foundation! It''s not my personal gain! If I renege on this, I will be punished by heaven." Of!"


    ?Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan, finally stood up and raised his hands and said: "With that, Yu will take his leave... My lord, please don''t forget what you said..."


    "This is natural..." Sun Quan took a slow breath and stood up to see Zhou Yu off.


    "My lord, please stay..." Zhou Yu took two steps and suddenly said, "I have prepared a food box, which I cooked by my own hands. If I can''t see it, could you please my lord to send it to my house?"


    "This... is fine..." Sun Quan pondered for a moment and nodded.


    ?Zhou Yu waved to the outside, then took the food box delivered by his servants and placed it in front of Sun Quan, then he cupped his hands and said goodbye...


    Sun Quan smiled. After sending Zhou Yu away, his eyes fell on the food box with a gloomy face.


    "snort…"


    ?Sun Quan ground his teeth.


    Zhou Yu still doesn’t believe him...


    The food box, cooking with your own hands, is just a test!


    ??Why can''t these guys, including Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, trust someone like they trust their brothers? !


    Sun Quan walked around twice, then stopped, his eyes flickered a few times, and then he walked to the food box, stretched out his hand and touched the top of the food box, pondered for a moment, and then opened the lid of the food box...


    “This…” Sun Quan’s eyes narrowed.


    The food box was empty, with no ingredients at all as Zhou Yu mentioned...


    Of course, it cannot be said that there is nothing. There is a jade flute at the bottom of the food box.


    Sun Quan took a deep breath and closed his eyes. The muscles on his cheeks jumped, then jumped again, and finally he slowly closed the lid of the food box and pressed it firmly: "Come on. People! Send this... food box to Sifangju! Also, prepare two carts of fruits, vegetables and poultry!"


    Empty food box…


    Empty food box.


    ??If it weren’t for Zhou Yu’s reminder, I would have overlooked this!


    It''s just that Zhou Yu''s empty food box probably means more than just this...


    Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin!


    ??It''s really too shrewd, almost terrifying...


    ??????????????????????????????????


    ?Sun Quan looked up at the sky, as if this was the only way he could feel the warmth of the sun shining on his face.


    ………p(⌒｀q)………


    Which rumor has the most market?


    ? ? Gossip about family affairs is the best for spreading. If some key people are involved, these rumors will spread quickly like a centipede with a hundred legs.


    “Have you heard?”


    “Have you heard anything? How can I know if you don’t tell me?”


    “I’m telling you, you can’t tell anyone else…”


    “Don’t worry, you still don’t know my character. I will definitely keep my mouth shut and won’t say anything…”


    “Haha, let’s talk first. I also heard it from a friend, and I don’t know whether it’s true or not…”


    “Come on, just say it quickly.”


    “…Let me tell you, I heard that the current master of the Sun family… looks, haha, majestic in appearance, quite extraordinary…”


    “That’s it?” ????“What’s that?”


    "Isn''t this the old man? Some people have long said that when he was born, he had a big mouth, a bright look in his eyes, and the appearance of a master... isn''t it all the same? If you say accept it, you are not I have never seen a child who has just made a sound. They all look like furry children. What kind of appearance can you tell? Are they growing a few more hairs, or are they growing a few less hairs? Is it light..."


    “Hey! I didn’t mean that!”


    “Then what you’re talking about is that it’s so frustrating! Say it quickly!”


    “I’m talking about that one... that one... that has the appearance of ‘purple beard’... purple, **** ho **** ho **** ho **** ho…”


    “Huh? Do you really don’t understand or do you pretend you don’t understand? Purple beard means purple? It’s a description of heroic appearance, not really purple..."


    “Tch, I didn’t know that, I meant it was really... really purple...”


    “Wait a minute, what do you mean? You mean, really...purple?”


    “Really purple.”


    “Hey, this is interesting... You are so brave...”


    "What''s this? Some people say that he not only has a purple beard, but also has blue eyes, and some say he has red hair...Those people are fine, I just said a purple beard, so what? There were so many people saying purple beard before, Why is there something wrong today?"


    “Can the purple beard from before be the same as the purple beard you are talking about now?”


    “Don’t worry about the difference, you think this is interesting, right?”


    "Well, don''t tell me, it''s really interesting... At this moment, everyone from the Sun family, young and old, got in, and no one was clean... It''s really cruel..."


    “What does this mean? Haven’t you heard that people living in all directions over there...talking about purple beard, doesn’t it suit this situation?”


    “So, something really happened to Sifangju?”


    "Is this still false? The soldiers are surrounding..."


    "Hush, hush...soldiers are coming, disperse, disperse..."


    …(_)(_)(_)(_)……


    Wu County Prefect’s Mansion.


    ??Zhu Zhizheng was writing something, put down his pen, looked around, and said with his palms: "This Guanzhong bamboo paper is really extraordinary..."


    It is not that there is no paper in Jiangdong, there is some, but because the materials used to make paper in Jiangdong are bark and hemp, the color is relatively heavier, a bit like a light brown, unlike the bamboo paper produced in Guanzhong It''s more whitish and yellowish.


    ??Zhu Ran stood by and waited. Seeing that Zhu Zhi had finished writing, he quickly brought a copper basin of water for Zhu Zhi to clean his hands. He also took the soft towel prepared by a servant and wiped Zhu Zhi''s hands.


    Zhu Ran is not Zhu Zhi''s son. Strictly speaking, he is just Zhu Zhi''s nephew. He was born to Zhu Zhi''s sister. His surname was originally supposed to be Shi Ran and his given name was Yangsi. However, because Shi Chong, Shi Yangsi''s biological father, was already in the war. He died in the accident, and Zhu Zhi''s own child also died young, so they simply got together, changed their surname, and became Zhu Zhi''s heir.


    ?Although he is not his biological son, Zhu Ran is very good at adjusting morning and dusk. Even his biological son may not be able to do this carefully...


    Zhu Zhi looked at what he had written, then shook his head and said, "I still don''t meditate enough... This stroke is a little soft..."


    ??Jiangdong has been noisy these days, and Zhu Zhi, as the prefect of Wu County, naturally cannot be quiet.


    I originally thought that these rumors were just staged and would naturally dissipate after a while. However, I didn''t expect that they actually became more and more intense. Now there are all kinds of rumors, and the implications are getting wider and wider. Zhu Zhi naturally We cannot continue to sit idly by.


    However, generally speaking, rumors like this cannot spread so freely without someone behind them, so Zhu Zhi continued to pretend not to care, and on the other hand, he sent Zhu Ran to investigate. .


    ?Several big families in Jiangdong, except Zhu Zhi’s Zhu family and Wu Ben’s Wu family, basically all have this suspicion. Zhu Zhi didn''t do it himself, and Zhu Ran didn''t dare to do such a thing. As for Zhu Zhi''s sister, she basically has no place to live, let alone get involved in such troubled waters. The Wu family, as Mrs. Wu''s family, also has the status of a foreign relative. It is impossible for the Wu family to do such a stupid thing if the whole family is harmed. Therefore, other families are more likely to do it.


    At this stage, rumors are still circulating among the gentry’s children. After all, ordinary people only care about the food in their mouths and the clothes on their bodies. How can they have the leisure to pay attention to the rumors about Sun Quan?


    However, just the news that was passed among the sons of the nobles was enough to be lethal. Not long after Sun Quan took over the power, just when the four parties were stabilizing, this incident happened. Even if the various places did not say anything on the surface, in reality Even if he doesn''t go against his will, it will still put a question mark on Sun Quan''s control...


    If you can’t deal with even one rumor, what else can you do?


    ??It''s like the fart in the elevator in later generations. Although it''s not so smelly that it kills people, it can''t even suppress the fart, so what else can it do?


    "What''s going on with the Gu family?" Zhu Zhi left the table, sat aside, and asked while taking the hot tea soup from Zhu Ran.


    ?Zhu Ran lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Nothing happened? The Gu family are all in the house and have not gone out..."


    "Um…"


    Zhu Zhi nodded, shook his head again, and then lowered his head to drink tea.


    "The Gu family has left everything behind..." Zhu Zhi put the tea bowl aside, "What about the other two families?"


    “Replying to my father,” Zhu Ran replied, “They haven’t gone out yet… The Lu family won’t talk about it, and even the Zhang family is staying behind closed doors…”


    "Hmph..." Zhu Zhi snorted twice coldly, "The trees want to be quiet, but the wind doesn''t stop! The market is becoming increasingly noisy, how can we avoid it by closing the door!"


    While he was talking, Zhu Zhi''s staff came to the door and whispered a few words to Zhu Zhi.


    ?Zhu Zhi squinted his eyes, then nodded and said, "I know...do you have anything else to say?"


    The staff whispered a few more words.


    Zhu Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "Prepare some food and clothing, load them into a cart, and send them to Sifangju!"


    ?Sun Quan sent clothes and food to Sifangju. Zhu Zhi, as the prefect of Wu County, naturally could not and would remain indifferent. After all, Sifangju is within the scope of Wu County.


    The staff nodded in agreement and left immediately.


    Zhu Zhi looked at the treetops swaying in the wind below the hall and said: "However, we still need to pay close attention to this matter... The people who spread rumors will not obey the law, and there will be no peace in the market... As the prefect of Wu County... I will definitely bear the responsibility. ! If a certain person goes out in person, and it seems to be trying to cover up, but it is not beautiful... and others cannot be trusted, then you can only go... Remember, this matter cannot be made public, and can only be investigated secretly..."


    …(д.)┌(.Д.)┐…


    In the wind, on the hillside outside Sifangju, little Qiao stood tall and tall.


    Faintly, there was a sound of cave flutes coming from all around, sobbing gracefully, misty and sad.


    "It''s sister!" Xiao Qiao shouted, grabbing Zhou Yu''s sleeve next to her, "It''s sister!" She laughed and jumped twice, then burst into tears, "Woo hoo...it''s sister, sister... wu wu..."


    ?Zhou Yu silently held Xiao Qiao''s hand and listened quietly.


    After a while, Zhou Yu suddenly opened his eyes, not angry but powerful, and immediately filled with sadness, "Beifeng, Green Yi! This is Green Yi! Sun Zhongmou! What a Sun Zhongmou!"
