Chapter 112 – The Extermination of Three Generations
Translated by Bloodfalcon, Edited by Krayto
More and more stewards and servants from n.o.ble families appeared in the Administration Office, each of them who heard the news gave Lu Bu, who sat at the seat of honor, an angry stare.
“What happened? What happened?!” The head of Wu clan is feeling very strange.
“Master, master!!!” Finally servant of Wu clan also appeared.
“Ah Fu, why did you come here?!” The head of Wu clan quickly inquired and in his heart there is an unknown surge of panic.
“Master, not good, not good. All of our grain and provisions in our storage and shops, all are gone!!!” The servant called Ah Fu, huffing and puffing, said those words slowly.
“How can that be?!” The head of Wu clan now truly anxious. These grain and provisions are his lifeblood. In war times, grain and provisions become as valuable as gold. Therefore many n.o.ble families changed their currency from gold into grains and provisions. If their grain and provisions are gone, the head of Wu clan will have nothing left.
“Did it catch on fire or destroyed by earthquake?!” The head of Wu clan thought of all the worst possible outcome.
“No, no, neither of that!!!” Ah Fu shook his head.
“Then spit it out now!!!!” The head of Wu clan is truly anxious, he grabbed Ah Fu’s shoulders as hard as he can.
“Cough, cough!!!” Ah Fu removed his master’s hands with great difficulty. Ah Fu then said their grain storage and shops were emptied by government troops, they said that this grain and provisions are drafted for upcoming battles. That event happened in the evening, after all of n.o.ble clan heads went into Administration Office. One by one government troops arrived at the grain shop and their houses, forcing them to open the front door.
When they wanted to reject, suddenly the commander pulled out his sword. Under the cold radiance of the sword, those servants become really scared and opened the door. After that, government troops quickly moved out all grain carts from grain shop.
“Emptied?!” The head of Wu clan’s leg suddenly lose its strength and dropped on the ground “Everything gone?!” This head of Wu clan’s is held by Ah Fu and still hoping that news from Ah Fu’s mouth is a false news and only joking with him.
But how disappointed he is because the news is true “Forgive me, master. All the grain is gone!!!” Ah Fu nodded.
The head of Wu clan has grasped the main focus. This Wancheng city has been conquered by Lu Bu. Ah Fu said that government troops are the one who came to his shop. That government troops must be Lu Bu’s army, it cannot be any other army.
“General Lu!!!” The head of Wu clan naturally will look for Lu Bu, but another person already took the lead to find Lu Bu and already shouting at him.
Chen Yao not only did he not salute toward Lu Bu, but is directly shouting and pointing his finger toward Lu Bu “GENERAL LU, FOR WHAT REASON DID YOU DISPATCH YOUR TROOPS TO MY GRAIN STORAGE AND MY GRAIN SHOPS AND TAKE MY GRAIN AND PROVISIONS!!! ALSO YOU KILLED MY SERVANT AND DESTROYEDMY GRAIN STORAGE?!”
Chen Yao’s anger is erupting. The troops who were sent to his stores and his storage had completely cleaned out his grain and provisions. And also, several of his servants became victims, killed by Lu Bu’s army and also his grain storage was burnt down.
Chen Yao thought that Lu Bu is just bluffing against him, in order for him to reduce the grain price. But who knew, that Lu Bu hit his face directly.
“General Lu, by committing this act, what is the difference between you and a robber?!” Liu Kai has spoken. Liu Kai’s loss is the biggest here. All of his three grain storages in Wancheng city are all emptied and destroyed. It can be said that the Liu clan’s wealth suddenly shrunk from wealthy to almost dest.i.tute. How the Liu clan became this rich is because they acc.u.mulated it from generations to generations, who ever expected that this wealth is destroyed in only one night.
“General Lu, you must give us an explanation for your action!!!”
“Yes, even if you are the current master of Wancheng city, you cannot seize our grain and provisions by force. If you do not give us explanation now, none of us will leave this Administration Office!!!”
“Explanation, eh?!” Lu Bu looks at those n.o.ble families who just pointing and scolding him, his mouth forming a sneer. Chen Yao said that his grain storage and his stores are emptied and his servant also died and also his warehouse was burnt.
That Chen Yao needed to look into the mirror to see who is to blame for this incident. Heh, servant? That servant is his private soldier. That soldier can defy the law because he is employed by Chen clan. When government troops arrived he is seen abusing his colleague and when he saw Lu Bu’s army, suddenly he revealed his weapon. He was asking for death!
“So, all of you want explanation eh?!” Lu Bu step by step walked toward all of n.o.ble clan heads. Every step that he took, he radiated extreme coldness. This type of coldness is the type that wanted to eat humans. How could these pompous and haughty n.o.ble clan heads have encountered these feelings?
All of them subconsciously averted their eyes from Lu Bu.
“I will explain to you!!!” Lu Bu casually saying “Let us be straightforward now, when I wanted to discuss with all of you on borrowing grain and provisions, what did you say to me?! Master w.a.n.g, please speak first!”
Head of w.a.n.g clan wanted to retreat to the back but he was actually called first by Lu Bu.
“General Lu, I....!!!” The head of w.a.n.g clan actually wanted Chen Yao to be the first interrogated by Lu Bu, but now with he is the first one, he actually had nothing to say and can only silent all the time.
