My Father in Law is Lu Bu

More and more stewards and servants from noble 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 noble 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 noble 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 destitute. How the Liu clan became this rich is because they accumulated 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 noble 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 noble 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 noble 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 Wang, please speak first!”

Head of Wang clan wanted to retreat to the back but he was actually called first by Lu Bu.

“General Lu, I....!!!” The head of Wang 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.

“Alright then, Master Wang cannot say anything, what about Master Li?!” Lu Bu’s vision went to head of Li clan.

“You, I...!!!” The head of Li clan is speechless, unable to speak anything.

“So, all of you don’t want to say anything? Good, then I will come and explain to all of you!!!” Lu Bu’s height is a little more than two meters, but not so tall like Yao Ming of Houston Rockets. In the present time, it is a standard for a person with high skill, let alone in this end year of Eastern Han. When Lu Bu walked toward those clan heads, he truly stood out between them.

Although Lu Bu currently is wearing his home clothing, it still traced his dignified stature.

“Head of Wang clan, you said that your entire family is hungry right now. Why when we cleaned up your grain shop, there are more than 5,000-shi of grain and provisions?!” Lu Bu said it coldly while looking at the head of Wang clan.

“That is... Because we.... I....!!!” The head of Wang clan wanted to argue but this time he is in the wrong side and his argument is baseless.

“You do not need to explain it!!! I KNOW!!!! Is it not because you did not respect us Lu Bu, is not that correct?!”

“As for all of you, clan heads! All of you must have not have tasted commoner’s food for a long time!!! All of you never have to think about what to eat. But what about those commoners? They are eating the same food that I, Lu Bu, eat!!!” Lu Bu’s eyebrows raised.

“All of you can see the food on this table! I know, you cannot eat this!!!! Because this foods in your eyes, are servants’ food. But I am sorry, this food was eaten by my troops and my family for half a month!!!”

“As for you, head of Liu clan!!!” Lu Bu looks at noble clan heads leader “You are a relative to our Han Dynasty, a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan. You unexpectedly give me 200 grain and provisions as if you are giving a beggar something to eat!!! Did you think that this Lu Bu is a good person to bully?! When I opened your grain and provisions storage, I found out that you collected tax from half of this city until your grain and provisions amounted to 50,000-shi of grain and provisions. This Wancheng city, one year of tax are amounted to 5,000-shi and your grain and provisions are amounted to 10 years of taxes. Hahaha, those 200-shi grain and provisions, if those are not for demeaning me, then for what else?!”

“So, for that reason, you, Lu Fengxian, took my and the others grain and provisions?!” Chen Yao stood out and pointing at Lu Bu. Perhaps other people feared Lu Bu but Chen Yao did not care at all, for he and Lu Bu had deep grudges.

“Only because the others and I did not give you grain and provisions, you dispatched your troops to directly snatch our food? That is plain robbery!!!” With Chen Yao taking the lead, other clan heads began to speak their mind. Their grain and provisions are their wealth. Only those who are engaged in salt and iron trading are the ones who did not scream with Chen Yao.

“Ooohhhh, is that what you want? At first, I did not coerce you for anything but you are willing to allocate a few grain and provisions to me, right?! I also did not demand you of anything, I even wanted to compensate all of you twofold. How that is not kind?!” Lu Bu casually saying it.

“It is true you did not coerce us, but you directly snatched our grain and provisions!!!” Chen Yao refuse to back down.

“Oh, that thing eh? What you said earlier is yours and I am willing to compensate it. I go pick up that which does not belong to you!!!”

“You are a robber, a bandit!!!”

“Hahaha, I am a robber and a bandit, so what!!! You want to bite me eh?!” Lu Bu did not know when Liu Mang rubbed off him, changing his sneering attitude and almost everything about him

“You, You, Lu Fengxian, do not bully me too far!!!” Chen Yao pointing at Lu Bu, scolding him

“I bullied you, how did I bullied you? Let me tell you this. You are a person who is shameless, even after a person had tried to give you respect!!! I wanted to borrow from you legally, but you did not want to do it, forcing me to do this!!! I know, all of you are thinking about Sun Ce and Jiangdong’s army. All of you are thinking that without grain and provisions, that this Lu Bu would be unable to defend Lujiang and when the time comes, I would be expelled!!! Yes, your ideas are very good! I also admit that currently Jiangdong army is much more formidable that my Lu Bu army! However you forgot one simple thing!!! This Wancheng city, is my, Lu Bu’s domain. This Lu Bu is responsible for this city and the location where I call the shots, not yours!!!!”

“You damned slave of three surnames, patricide lover!!!” Chen Yao cursed Lu Bu directly.

“En?!” Lu Bu’s eyes narrowed. This Chen Yao is the same as Chen Duan eh? A moralist asshole. “Do you want to know how your cousin elder brother died?!”

Chen Yao was taken aback, he then said “After you killed my cousin elder brother, you also want to kill me? Come and kill me then. After you kill me, you can forget about how long you will reside in this city!!!”

“General Lu, please do not harm yourself!!!” Liu Kai opened his mouth quickly. He wanted to see Lu Bu and Chen Yao quarrel, but he never wanted for Lu Bu to kill Chen Yao.

“Are you thinking the same thing?!” Lu Bu asked at those noble clan heads

Both sides are looking at each other disdainfully.

Lu Bu laughed and said “Since all of you are thinking of not killing him, well then this Bu will first have to say sorry for not fulfilling your expectations!!!”

“You...!” Chen Yao already cannot speak “dare do this to me”. He finally knows how his cousin elder brother died. He finally knew why his cousin elder brother’s corpse showed purple color due to asphyxiation as he is now experiencing it himself. Before long, Chen Yao stopped all movements.

Lu Bu just casually threw Chen Yao’s corpse like throwing trash and said “Pass my military siege the Chen clan’s Residence. Kill everyone, no one is to leave. Execute the Chen clan up to the third generation!”
