Chapter 445: Song Wen's Response
[PS: The update is late, apologize!! 】
Leaning slightly, the guard ran back with a pale face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Song Wen looked up, and when he saw the look of the guard, his heart was already half cold.
"Say!"
"My lord, Yicheng has been assassinated."
"Let's go!"
The brush in Song Wen's hand fell weakly on the table, and the ink splashed everywhere, making the unfinished letters dirty, and he could no longer read the contents of the letters.
What a coincidence!
Song Wen knew that if something was too coincidental, it was not a coincidence at all, but a conspiracy. Thinking of the destroyed teleportation array, it was obvious that someone was deliberately sabotaging Tianshuang County.
Who could it be?
During the war, Tianshuang County was well guarded, and no outsiders entered the city.
Could it be them?
Thinking of this, Song Wen's face became gloomy.
"Someone!"
Song Wen's voice was low, but his tone was unquestionable.
"Your Excellency!"
is still the guard, and he is also Song Wen's absolute confidant.
"Let's check who has been to the inn in the past two days, especially from yesterday afternoon to this morning."
"Your Excellency!"
"Huh?"
The guards didn't move, but leaned up to Song Wen and whispered, "My lord, when the little one went to the post station to inquire about the news, he specially asked the post station guard. The guard said that early this morning, the steward of the Ruan family went into the post station. ”
"Bastard!" Song Wen was angry and slapped the table hard, "Didn't I say that?" No one can enter the inn without my warrant. Why, can't a person in charge stop it? ”
"Your Excellency!" The guards clenched their fists, "According to the guards, it was the death order given by the second master, and at first they didn't obey, and one of the guards was slapped by the second master." ”
After listening to this, Song Wen's face was gloomy and about to drip water. The brush he was holding in his hand unintentionally was broken, and there was a "snap", which was unusually harsh, which showed the anger in Song Wen's heart.
This humble gentleman is already on the verge of exploding, and he will explode in minutes.
Woe to the family!
Previously, Song Wen still didn't understand his father's thunderous methods in the family, but now he is completely cold-hearted. Unexpectedly, Tianshuang County fell into the hands of its own people.
If you escape this catastrophe, it's time to straighten out the family.
"Mobilize people and horses to tie up Ruan and the others to me."
Song Wen's voice was cold and cold, without a trace of emotion.
"No!"
The guard also trembled in his heart, it was the first time he had seen his own adult so out of shape. In the eyes of the military generals of Wenchen, Song Wen was a gentle and elegant lord.
This time, he was completely iron-hearted.
After the guards left, Song Wen began to plan a way back. He knew very well that without reinforcements, Tianshuang County would never be able to hold it.
If you resist, it is not the work of a wise man.
Now it's time to consider how to minimize losses.
The Song family has not really entered a desperate situation. How could a family like them not leave a way back. When Tianshuang County was first built, the Song family had already prepared an escape route.
I didn't expect it to be used so quickly.
Song Wen walked out of the study, and after meeting with his father, he left the lord's mansion.
The people in the family are naturally informed by their father, and Song Wen, as the lord, has more important things to do. He went to the territorial treasury first and swept away all the funds inside.
Then, Song Wen came to the treasury of the territory and swept away the rare materials in it.
Materials are not like gold coins, they occupy storage space, and what Song Wen can take away is some talismans, cheats, manuals and other items.
Anything else, it can only be cheaper for the enemy.
In the end, Song Wen walked into the Tianshuang County Branch of Sihai Qianzhuang. He knew very well that the funds in the treasury of Sihai Qian Zhuang were even more abundant than the treasury of Tianshuang County.
Unfortunately, the NPCs are in charge of the Four Seas Money Bank, and without his assistance, the funds cannot be taken away. At the critical moment, Song Wen naturally couldn't forget them.
Whether the Song family can make a comeback, but they are still counting on Shanhai City.
Compared with the chaotic scene on the street, Sihai Qianzhuang is unusually calm.
Seeing Song Wen, the shopkeeper of Qianzhuang saluted slightly: "I've seen my lord." ”
At this time, Song Wen didn't care about greetings, and said straightforwardly: "The current situation, Tianshuang County is afraid that it can't hold it, I'll help you take the funds in the treasury away, and you will follow along." ”
"Thank you, sir!"
The shopkeeper was also a smart man, without any nonsense, and took Song Wen to the vault behind the money house.
In the vault, shiny gold coins are piled up into a small mountain.
The shopkeeper looked through the ledger and said, "My lord, there are a total of 67,542 gold coins, 127,580 silver coins and 257,300 copper coins in the treasury. ”
Song Wen gasped, he knew that the Four Seas Money Village was rich, but he didn't expect it to be so rich. In addition to the appropriation of the headquarters, most of the funds in the bank are still absorbing the people's deposits and profits.
"Don't worry, my lord, we won't deduct any of the people's deposits in the bank. When the adults return to Tianshuang County, the people will be able to exchange them immediately with the bills. ”
The shopkeeper saw that Song Wen's expression was a little strange, but he would be wrong.
Song Wen nodded when he heard this, no wonder Sihai Qianzhuang was able to operate to the current scale, just with this reputation and bearing, he couldn't do it if he wanted to be big.
If you change to another bank, you may just run away with the funds.
When he left Qianzhuang, the shopkeeper of Qianzhuang said something to Song Wen, which surprised him again.
"Thank you for your kindness, the guys from the Tianshuang County Branch of Sihai Qianzhuang will be stationed in Qianzhuang. Even if Tianshuang County was captured by the enemy, Qianzhuang was still open for business. ”
Song Wen listened and was silent for a long time.
"Good!"
With that, Song Wen left and merged into the bustling crowd on the street.
Seeing Song Wen leaving, a guy behind the shopkeeper quietly walked up, "My lord, the information has been passed on through the hummingbird." ”
"Hmm."
The shopkeeper nodded, turned around and walked into the bank.
It turned out that Sihai Qianzhuang was secretly a stronghold of the Black Snake Guard.
The members of the [Southern Alliance] would never have imagined that in this case, the information in the city could still be transmitted to the headquarters of the army of Shanhai City.
In less than two days, Bai Qi will be able to get first-hand information.
The shopkeeper of Qianzhuang decided to garrison Tianshuang County, in addition to maintaining the operation of Sihai Qianzhuang, more importantly, to continuously transmit the information in the city to the headquarters.
Of course, even if the Four Seas Money Village is swept away, the Black Snake Guard is in Tianshuang County, and other secret strongholds are invited.
This is something that the lord Song Wen doesn't even know.
The intelligence network woven by the Black Snake Guard is exerting its incredible power.
Song Wen walked out of the money village and frowned when he saw the commotion on the street.
The army overwhelmed the border, and rumors spread in the city. Those who have a little insight know that Tianshuang County is afraid that it will not be able to hold it. The scene that happened at the gate of the city spread all over the city.
All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise in the city.
Ordinary people are trying to escape the scourge of war in their own way. Most commonly, nature is to shut up and be an ostrich. There are also clever ones, which hide in cellars, rice jars, and other more hidden places.
In the chaos, the dregs of society have surfaced. Some ruffians and hooligans even took advantage of the fire to rob, they smashed shops, molested women, and did all kinds of evil.
The garrison in the city is either in the city or has other military affairs, and has no energy to deal with these ruffians and hooligans.
Seeing this, Song Wen frowned.
He checked the attributes of the territory, and saw that the two attributes of [Public Security] and [People's Heart] were constantly falling, and in less than an hour, they had dropped by more than a dozen points.
It won't go on like this.
Once the people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to get it back.
"Someone!"
"Your Excellency!"
Another guard, who followed Song Wen, walked up.
"Drop a team of people and deal with these ruffians."
"Your Excellency?"
The guards were a little puzzled, at this time, every soldier was very precious, but it was used to suppress the ruffians and hooligans, which was inevitably overkill.
"Why don't you go, won't my words work anymore?"
"No!"
The guards trembled in their hearts, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they turned around and left.
Back at the Lord's Mansion, the Ruan family and others had been tied up by the guards and held in the hall.
"Song Wen boy, why did you tie up the old man, let us go."
When the old man of the Ruan family saw Song Wen, he immediately scolded.
"Hmph, old horseman, what did you do wrong, don't you know in your hearts?" Song Wen is no longer gentle and elegant, and he is an old man when he opens his mouth.
When the old man of the Ruan family heard this, his face turned red with anger.
"Phew, Huangkou Xiaoer, what did the old man do? You make it clear to me. ”
"Okay." Song Wen laughed angrily, "Did you destroy the teleportation array?" Did you assassinate the post man at the post station? How, dare not do it? ”
"Speak with evidence, do you have evidence?" The old man is quite hard-mouthed.
"Proof, huh? Bring it on. ”
The guard of the inn walked into the hall and recounted the events of the morning as they were.
"You don't want to spew blood, I didn't let anyone send the letter at all."
Song Wen frowned when he heard this, this old fox seemed to be prepared, he turned his head to look at the guard, and asked, "Do you still recognize the steward?" ”
"Recognize!"
"Look, which of them is it?"
The Ruan family and other three families were all arrested, and none of them were missed.
When the guard heard this, he looked up, and the more he looked, the deeper his brow furrowed.
The old man of the Ruan family smiled proudly, "Is there one?" If you don't, you're framing good people. ”
The damned old fox, the steward, must have been hiding.
Now the army is in chaos, and no one can be found at all.
At this moment, the old man of the Song family walked into the hall, followed by Song Tianli.
"Wen'er, what's going on?"
"Grandpa!"
Song Wen didn't dare to slack off, and retold the cause and effect of the incident as it was.
When the old man heard this, he also frowned, although he was dissatisfied with his son's seizure of power, but after all, it was only an internal matter of the family. Now, it's about the rise and fall of the family.
If it was really done by the Ruan family and others, it would be too hateful.
Such acts cannot be forgiven.
Thinking of this, the old man looked up at Song Tianli and asked, "Tianli, what Wen'er said, is it true?" Did you put a steward into the inn this morning? (To be continued.) )
