Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 282, confidants’ advice that betrayers should not be forgiven, Liu Hong’s self-doubt!
Shi Chanli looked at Liu Hong's somewhat soft-hearted expression and immediately became anxious and spoke quickly.

"Sir! These people must never be forgiven."

Cheng Jushu ate his food in big mouthfuls and spoke viciously.

"Kill them all!"

Because of them, many of Liu Hong's loyal subordinates were either dismissed from office or demoted to remote areas.

If Liu Hong raised it high and then put it down gently, how would he explain to his followers?

Zhang Liang took a sip of hot tea and spoke in a decisive tone.

"Sir, this trend will never grow!"

The four of them stayed on the steps and talked, and Sang Wen and Fan Ruoruo heard it clearly.

Of course, this is a naked liquidation activity, a unique product of the political struggle in the court.

It’s okay to know!

Now that Liu Hong is here, Fan Ruoruo has no ability to stop him.

Liu Hong casually threw the note on the ground and sighed softly.

"Let Wu Shang come to see me and prepare some good wine. It's true that I haven't spoken to him about my true feelings for a long time."

Thinking back to when there were only 800 people, Liu Hong had a lot of fun bragging and chatting with these people.

It seems that after becoming the deputy general of Xiliang Road, Pei Bo, and the right vice minister of the Ministry of War, he gradually relaxed his management of his subordinates.

Liu Hong couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness at the corner of his mouth.

It is said that the alienation of capitalism is quite terrible.

But bureaucracy is no less serious!
Once a very honest farmer, after becoming a soldier, he also diligently took on the logistical work.

But after becoming an official, he did not hesitate to slaughter his former comrades for the sake of his own power.

When Fan Ruoruo heard the name Wu Shang, her face turned pale.

Among the old men who followed Liu Hong, Wu Shang was the only one who was willing to obey Fan Ruoruo's orders.

Therefore, Fan Ruoruo even used her identity as the wife of the Grand Commander to make the Minister of War Qin Heng give her face.

The Deputy Langzhong of the Food and Pay Department was promoted from the fifth rank to the fifth rank.

Qin Heng and Liu Hong are allies and want Fan Xian dead, but to be honest, they don't have much hatred towards the Fan family.

Naturally, I'm happy to give him some face. He's only a fifth-rank official, and he has a lot of people under his command. It's just that the Food and Pay Department has a little bit of oil and water, which is a bit regrettable.

“Husband, everything Wu Shang did was instructed by me. It has nothing to do with him.”

Fan Ruoruo couldn't help but plead for Wu Shang.

This is the first brother Liu Hong who obeyed her orders.

If he was taken down without hesitation, who would dare to obey her orders from now on?

But what Fan Ruoruo didn't understand was that her pleading now would be of no use except causing a counterproductive effect.

Liu Hong slowly stood up and looked at Fan Ruoruo's pale face, still as gentle as ever.

"I won't kill him! But because of him, so many old brothers have been wronged, some have been demoted, some have been dismissed, there must be an explanation."

Sang Wen silently picked up Liu Ying and returned to the backyard, and instructed the kitchen to cook a few more dishes.

The Grand Commander wanted to reminisce with his old brothers.

Fan Ruoruo didn't want to leave, but the maids around her pulled Fan Ruoruo away and took her to the backyard.

Whether it is Qianlong Bay, Dingzhou, Andong Sanlu, or the general's mansion.

Liu Hong’s words are the only imperial edict.

Even Emperor Qing couldn't do anything without Liu Hong's permission.

After Zhang Liang and others cleaned the table, they left tactfully.

They knew that Liu Hong was in a bad mood at the moment. Being betrayed by his former brother was a huge blow to Liu Hong, who valued friendship and loyalty.

Liu Hong took a sip of wine.

I felt vaguely dizzy and slowly put down my wine glass.

This is what happens when you go too long without drinking.

Wu Shang was dressed like an old farmer, with calluses all over his palms. He looked rustic and shabby.

He had no idea that the officials of the Food and Pay Bureau had big bellies, greasy mouths, and a disgusting look.

But Liu Hong knew that Wu Shang was pretending. He had thousands of acres of land and made tens of thousands of taels of silver in a few years.

This gesture is just to soften my heart and think of old friendship.

Liu Hong looked at Wu Shang, raised his hand slightly and pointed at the chair opposite.

"Let's do it! Just the two of us, no one else."

Wu Shang forced a smile and tried to return to his previous tone, but he felt guilty and ashamed, and couldn't recover.

"Brother, why is there only one pot of wine? It's not enough for the two of us."

"It's all over the world. I'm not lying to you. I'm really not feeling well. I have to give up drinking these days."

Liu Hong pushed the wine jug in front of Wu Shang and spoke with some apology.

"It's really meaningless to drink alone, but we brothers haven't talked to each other from the heart for a long time."

The rumors are true, the Grand Commander will not live long!
In order to stabilize his own power, he also made those who had second thoughts feel fearful.

Then Liu Hong's approach would probably be a repeat of what those kings and princes did.

Kill them all without sparing a single one! It's terrifying.

After all, Liu Hong has killed so many people, including so many high-ranking aristocratic families, so he wouldn't be a big problem if he killed one more.

Wu Shang’s face turned pale and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

He poured himself a glass of wine tremblingly, which was usually a big one, but most of it spilled on the table.

When Liu Hong saw what Wu Shang did, he couldn't help laughing.

It seemed as if he was reminiscing about the happy times when he was hungry in the middle of the night and would secretly take food from Wu Shang.

But when he thought of Wu Shang's betrayal, his heart ached again, and his true energy became faint and unstable again.

After a long time, Wu Shang simply closed his eyes, picked up the whole pot of wine, and drank it all.

Liu Hongcai sighed softly.

"The team has grown, the morale has been dispersed, and it's starting to get harder to lead, Wu Shang, don't you think so?"

Liu Hong could let Wu Shang off the hook for his betrayal and give him a chance to make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence.

But Wu Shangqian should never, ever help the tyrant and withhold the garrison's food and wages.

He cooperated with the censors of the Censorate to collect charges and impeached many of his former brothers, causing them to be dismissed from office or exiled to the wilderness.

"boom……"

With a sound, the kettle shattered on the ground.

Wu was lucky enough to disappear without a trace. He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"stand up!"

Liu Hong closed his eyes, feeling a little annoyed.

"You know me. I hate brothers kneeling and kowtowing to each other the most."

"Your kneeling has destroyed the last bit of brotherhood between us."

Wu Shang immediately got up from the ground and looked at Liu Hong, with a hint of hope in his tone.

"Brother, but I have never betrayed you! I will do whatever you ask me to do."

On the one hand, he raised his butcher knife high and attacked his former comrades.

On the one hand, he followed the orders of Fan Ruoruo, Liu Hong, the royal family and even the Minister of War Qin Heng and played his cards right on the table.

Liu Hong looked at Wu Shang for a while, waved his hand, and motioned Wu Shang to continue sitting down, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"You are my old brother who has followed me all the way to success. You should know my character."

"Even if you are dismissed from office or even imprisoned because of these things, as long as I come back."

"Not only will you be reinstated, but you will even be promoted three levels. Why are you thinking of betraying your brother and attacking him as a token of your loyalty?"

Liu Hong thought that he had done his best to treat his subordinates, remembering each one's talents and assigning them to suitable positions.

Do your best to promote him and let him shine on the platform he is good at.

This is true for Shi Chanli and Versace!

The old brothers from Danzhou and the former eight hundred old brothers are all like this.

But why do we still encounter betrayal?
Liu Hong called Wu Shang because he was not only heartbroken, but also had some self-doubts about his own behavior.
