Chapter 113 – So What Is Wrong With Killing Them?

Translated by Bloodfalcon, Edited by Krayto

“This, this, this!!!” Looking down at Chen Yao corpse, the clan heads did not know what to say. They thought that Lu Bu did not have grain and provisions, they thought that they must deceive Lu Bu, they thought that Lu Bu did not dare to offend them, but suddenly they discovered that they were completely wrong.

Lu Bu did not reason with them, Lu Bu also did not begin a war of words with them, but directly did a hands on approach. He not only dispatched troops to s.n.a.t.c.h their grain shop and grain storage, but when Chen Yao cursed Lu Bu angrily, he was killed by Lu Bu personally. If it was only Chen Yao, those n.o.ble heads would maybe only be surprised and not restless like this.

What made them restless is that Lu Bu unexpectedly also issued a command to kill Chen Yao's whole clan up to the third generation.

What is he up to by doing this? The crime done by the patriarch only has a small connection to their wife and children, even smaller to their relatives. These n.o.ble clans are only waiting for better opportunity. They cannot make their entire family share the burden of the decision that the patriarch has made.

For example Xun clan. Xun Yu and Xun You both think that Cao Cao is a wise lord, therefore they devoted their whole being for Cao Cao's big plan. If Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo and his four brothers were to favor Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu. When Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were to become enemies, Xun clan can definitely scheme for Cao Cao's downfall ASAP. Leaving him no room to breathe. With that disadvantage in front of him, how can Cao Cao not charm Xun clan as soon as possible?

There are also Zhuge clan. Zhuge Liang and his brother Zhuge Jin are also split into two, one favor Liu Bei and the other favor Sun Quan of Jiangdong. Zhuge Liang's strategy made Liu Bei win Jing Province and made Zhou Yu Zhou Gongjin truly mad and die by anger. But even with this transgression made by Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan still did not kill the Zhuge clan, because he knows that they are n.o.bles. And n.o.bles are the one who give recognition on who is the boss.

But this Lu Bu, just because of Chen Yao and Chen Duan's mistake, he issued an order to eliminate the Chen clan? He wanted to oppose n.o.ble clans directly?

“General Lu, please do not do this!!!” Liu Kai truly had a bad feeling with this. Did he not want to obey the law? When Yuan Shu, Yuan Gonglu already without weapons and grains and provisions, even he did not dare to touch those n.o.ble clans, for fear he will be shunned by the nation. The only person who dared to offend the n.o.bles is Gongsun Zan, now he has joined the ranks of the dead.

“Do you want to tell me on how I should do things?!” Lu Bu truly loathes these n.o.ble clans so he is just looking at Liu Kai coldly. If they let Lu Bu to borrow grain and provisions, will there be an end like this? Those n.o.ble clans only account for 1% of population but they occupied 90% of the wealth.

They refused Lu Bu to borrow grain and provisions but also rose the price ridiculously, how can Lu Bu not want to kill them?

“Eh?!” Liu Kai was choked by Lu Bu's words, his face also showed a disdainful expression. “Very well then, please excuse us, General Lu!!!” You, Lu Bu, truly kill as you like. Even though the death of Chen clan are grieved by these n.o.ble clans, it did not hurt the Liu clan's foundation, even more it restored their influence which had been taken by the Chen clan.

“Yes, General Lu. Please allow me and the others to leave now!!!” All of n.o.ble clan heads did not want to stay here.

“Why are you in such a hurry?!” Said Lu Bu coldly. “Our banquet had not ended!!!”

In Wancheng grain storage, a middle-aged scholar now is very stunned with this news. “Milord wants to destroy the Chen clan?!” Chen Gong is truly dumbfounded with this news. Lu Bu's order to confiscate all of these n.o.ble clans' grain and provisions had made Chen Gong feel little guilty and now the order is to kill the Chen clan, his lord is truly offending the n.o.ble clans in this nation.

I must prevent it, I must prevent it, otherwise the consequence will be too disastrous. You can kill one person, you can even oppress the n.o.ble clans as warlords but you must not exterminate the whole clan. You must not make people to change their surname.

People can be killed but the family cannot be extinguished, that is the rule. If some people broke the rules, he will be eliminated. After all, this world is ruled by n.o.bles.

“Quick, we go to Administration Office!!!” Chen Gong quickly let his driver to go to Administration Office, but when he boarded the carriage he shook his head. How can he be so stupid, the order was just sent out from Administration Office and said to his driver to change destination “Go to Chen Residence, QUICK!!!!” So he only can go to Chen Residence, his hope is to catch up before Lu Bu’s soldiers begin their ma.s.sacre.

“QUICK, QUICK!!!!” Chen Gong urged his driver to be quick, because when he obtained the news, it is already late.

“Yes, sir!!!” Chen Gong's carriage is pulled by an Arabian horse, which Lu Bu gave to Chen Gong as his personal warhorse, the driver is also an excellent driver.

The speed of warhorse inside the city is pretty fast. Also at night, there is n.o.body on the road, therefore they can maximize their speed.

Nearing Chen Residence, there are already screaming ”HELP!”

”DON'T, PLEASE DON'T!”

“SHAAAAA!!!!” The closer they are in approaching the Chen Residence, the more pitiful those sounds.

“No, this is real bad!!!” Chen Gong's heart sank. Wherever Chen Gong went at that house, he can see corpses everywhere plus the mansion is in flames now, inside the flame there is pitiful yelling sound.

“I came too late!!!!” Chen Gong's hand is losing strength. The Chen Residence had been in flame. Inside also had Lu Bu’s army fighting other people with swords in their hand, these are Chen clan's private soldiers. Although their numbers is a lot, they are unable to resist Lu Bu’s army’s attack. The Chen Residence which was originally very lively, currently has become h.e.l.l.

“Sire, what now?!” Asked the driver while looking at the fire and waiting. Did he want to go in or not? Sounds of slaughtering are everywhere. This time night, if one did not careful, he can be mistakenly killed by a friendly attack, if that happened, then it could only be a tragedy.
