Chapter 446 Song Wen's Response

[PS: The update is late, sorry! ! ! 】

Leaning slightly, the guard ran back with a pale face.

Song Wen raised his head and saw the guard's expression, his heart was already half cold.

"Say!"

"My lord, Yi Cheng was assassinated."

"Click!"

The writing brush in Song Wen's hand fell weakly on the table, and the ink splashed everywhere, making the unfinished letter dirty, and the content of the letter could no longer be read clearly.

What a coincidence!

Song Wen knows that if something is too coincidental, it is not a coincidence at all, but a conspiracy. Reminiscent of the destroyed teleportation array, it is obvious that someone deliberately sabotaged it in Tianshuang County.

Who is the one?

During the war, Tianshuang County was strictly guarded, and no outsiders entered the city.

Could it be them?

Thinking of this, Song Wen's face became gloomy.

"Come on!"

Song Wen's voice was very low, but his tone was unquestionable.

"grown ups!"

It's still that personal guard, and also Song Wen's absolute confidant.

"Go and check, who has been to the post station in the past two days, especially from yesterday afternoon to this morning."

"grown ups!"

"Ok?"

The personal guard did not move, but leaned in front of Song Wen and said in a low voice: "My lord, when I went to the station to inquire about the news, I specifically asked the guard of the station. The guard said that early this morning, the steward of the Ruan family went into the station. "

"Bastard!" Song Wen was anxious, and slapped the table hard, "Didn't I say it? Without my warrant, no one can enter the post station. Why, can't a person in charge stop it?"

"My lord, calm down!" The guard clasped his fists, "According to the guards, it was the second master who gave the order to die. At first they refused to obey, and one guard was even slapped by the second master."

After Song Wen listened, his face was so gloomy that water dripped out. The writing brush he was holding in his hand accidentally was broken, and there was an unusually harsh "snap", which showed the anger in Song Wen's heart.

This modest gentleman is already on the verge of exploding, and will explode in minutes.

Unfortunately for the family!

Previously, Song Wen 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 his own people.

If they escaped this catastrophe, it's time to rectify the family.

"Mobilize people and tie Ruan Shi and others to me."

Song Wen's voice was cold and without any emotion.

"promise!"

The guard also trembled in his heart, it was the first time he had seen his lord lose his composure like this. In the eyes of civil servants and generals, Song Wen is a gentle and elegant lord.

This time, he was completely determined.

After the guards left, Song Wen began to plan his way out. He knew very well that Tianshuang County would never be able to defend without reinforcements.

If you resist stubbornly, it is not the work of a wise man.

What needs to be considered now is how to minimize the loss.

The Song family has not really reached a desperate situation. How could a family like theirs not leave a way out. When Tianshuang County was first built, the Song family had already prepared a secret escape route.

Didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

Song Wen walked out of the study, and after meeting his father, he left the Lord's Mansion.

The members of the family are naturally notified by the father. As the lord, Song Wen has more important things to do. He first came to the treasury of the territory and swept away the funds inside.

Then, Song Wen came to the warehouse of the territory and swept away the rare materials in it.

Materials are not like gold coins, which occupy storage space. What Song Wen can take away are some items such as talismans, cheat books, and manuals.

Other things can only cheapen the enemy.

In the end, Song Wen walked into the Tianshuang County Branch of Universal Bank. He knew very well that the funds in the treasury of the Four Seas Bank were probably richer than the treasury in Tianshuang County.

The bad thing is that the people in charge of the Four Seas Bank are all NPCs. 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 depends on Shanhai City.

Compared to the chaotic scene on the street, the Four Seas Bank was unusually calm.

Seeing Song Wen, the shopkeeper of the bank saluted slightly: "I have met you, sir."

At this time, Song Wen didn't care about the pleasantries, and said directly: "Tianshuang County may not be able to hold on to the current situation. Let me help you take away the funds in the treasury, and you will follow along."

"Thank you, my lord!"

The shopkeeper was also a smart man, without any nonsense, he brought Song Wen to the vault behind the bank.

In the vault, shiny gold coins were piled up into a hill.

The shopkeeper looked at 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 Bank was rich, but he didn't expect it to be so rich. In addition to the appropriation from the headquarters, most of the funds in the bank are from people's deposits and profits.

"Don't worry, my lord, we won't deduct a cent from the deposits of the people in the bank. When your lord returns to Tianshuang County, the people can exchange them immediately with the notes."

The shopkeeper saw Song Wen's expression was a little strange, but he was wrong.

Song Wen nodded when he heard the words, no wonder the Four Seas Bank can operate to the current scale, relying on this reputation and tolerance, it will not work if it wants to be big.

If it were another bank, they might just run away with the funds.

When leaving the bank, the shopkeeper of the bank said something to Song Wen, which surprised him again.

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord. The guys from the Tianshuang County branch of the Four Seas Bank will be stationed at the bank. Even if Tianshuang County is captured by the enemy, the bank will still operate normally."

Song Wen listened and remained silent for a long time.

"it is good!"

With that said, Song Wen left and merged into the bustling crowd on the street.

Seeing Song Wen leave, a guy behind the shopkeeper quietly walked up, "My lord, the information has been passed on through the hummingbird."

"Ok."

The shopkeeper nodded, turned and walked into the bank.

It turned out that the Four Seas Bank was secretly a stronghold of the Black Snake Guard.

The [Southern Alliance] members never imagined that under such circumstances, the information in the city could be transmitted to the headquarters of the Shanhai City army.

Within two days, Bai Qi would be able to get first-hand information.

The treasurer of the bank decided to station in Tianshuang County. In addition to maintaining the operation of the Four Seas Bank, the most important thing was to continuously pass on the information in the city to the headquarters.

Of course, even if the Four Seas Bank was swept away and the Black Snake Guards were in Tianshuang County, they would invite other secret bases.

Even the lord Song Wen didn't know about this.

The intelligence network organized by the Black Snake Guard is displaying astonishing power.

Song Wen walked out of the bank and frowned when he saw the noise in the street.

The army is suppressing the border, and rumors are everywhere in the city. Anyone with a little knowledge knows that Tianshuang County may not be able to hold on. The scene that happened at the gate of the city spread throughout the city.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of panic in the city.

The common people are trying to avoid the disaster of war in their own way. The most common, of course, is to stay behind closed doors and be an ostrich. There are also clever ones who hide in more hidden places such as cellars and rice vats.

In the chaos, the dregs of society floated out. Some local hooligans even took advantage of the fire to rob. They smashed shops, molested women, and did everything.

The garrison in the city is either standing at the top of the city, or has other military affairs, so they don't have the energy to deal with these 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 dropping. In less than an hour, they dropped by more than ten points.

It won't work like this.

Once the hearts of the people are lost, it will be difficult to change them back.

"Come on!"

"grown ups!"

Another personal guard who followed Song Wen came up.

"Leave a team and deal with these local hooligans."

"grown ups?"

The guards were a little puzzled. At this time, every soldier is very precious, but they are used to suppress the local hooligans, which is a bit overkill.

"Hurry up, don't my words no longer work?"

"promise!"

The guard's heart trembled, he didn't dare to be negligent, and turned to leave.

Back at the lord's mansion, the Ruan family and others had been tied up by the guards and held in the hall.

"Boy Song Wen, why did you tie up the old man, let us go quickly."

When the old man of the Ruan family saw Song Wen, he immediately cursed at him.

"Hmph, old man, don't you guys know what you have done to your heart?" Song Wen was no longer gentle, and just opened his mouth to say "old man".

When the old man of the Ruan family heard the words, his face turned red with anger.

"Bah, yellow-mouthed kid, what did the old man do? Tell me clearly."

"Okay." Song Wen laughed back angrily, "Did you destroy the teleportation formation? Did you assassinate the Yi Cheng at the post station? What, dare to do it or not?"

"There must be evidence for what you say. Do you have evidence?" The old man was quite stubborn.

"You want evidence, right? Bring it up."

The guard of the post station walked into the hall and recounted what happened in the morning.

"Don't spit on people, I didn't ask anyone to send the letter at all."

Song Wen frowned when he heard the words. The old fox seemed to have come prepared. He turned to look at the guard and asked, "Do you still recognize the steward?"

"I know!"

"Look, which one of them is it?"

People from the Ruan family and the other three families were all arrested, without missing a single one.

Hearing this, the guard looked up, and the more he looked, the deeper his frown became.

The old man of the Ruan family smiled triumphantly, "Is there any? If not, you are framing a good person."

The damn 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?"

"grandfather!"

Song Wen didn't dare to be negligent, and recounted the cause and effect of the incident.

The old man frowned when he heard the words. Although he was dissatisfied with his son's seizure of power, it was only an internal matter of the family after all. Now, it is about the rise and fall of the family.

If it was really done by the Ruan family and others, it would be too abominable.

Such behavior cannot be forgiven.

Thinking of this, the old man looked up at Song Tianli and asked, "Tianli, what Wen'er said is true? Did you let a steward into the post station this morning?"
