An hour later, the door of the prefect's mansion opened wide. Sun Wei straightened his clothes and walked in with the officials and representatives of some wealthy families behind him.
"Crunch."
The door was closed again, and an elite member of the Yuan Mansion in the private cavalry camp was ready to set off with Yan Liang at any time.
Sun Wei and his party were naturally very familiar with the Prefect's Mansion. They walked through a rockery and around a pavilion, and finally arrived at Yuan Shu's reception hall.
"Sir, what does this mean?"
Looking at the soldiers guarding the door, an official couldn't help but frown.
"I don't know either. Just be careful later and act based on my expression."
Sun Wei was also full of doubts, what kind of medicine was sold in the governor's gourd, and were these soldiers meant to give him a warning? He had been waiting all morning, wasn't it enough?
"Um,"
The man nodded. He was none other than Zhending Prefecture Commander Zhou Chang and Zhou Mufan.
"Then let's go."
Sun Wei also nodded.
"Zhending ordered Sun Wei to bring all Zhending officials to pay homage to the prefect."
Entering the hall, Sun Wei took the lead in saluting.
Yuan Shu sat at the top and nodded to the people below.
"Without courtesy, please take a seat."
"Thank you, sir~"
The group of people saluted again, and then separated their orders and took their seats according to their official positions. Sun Wei was sitting at the top on the left hand side. Since the former eunuch took away his own team after leaving, the army Sima who stayed behind had also been killed, so
Zhou Chang, the military attache, also sat at the top of the list.
"The robbery of Zhending Mansion this time is really a great misfortune for me in Changshan. Army Sima Zhangwang sacrificed his life heroically to protect his family and country. I will report to the imperial court to grant him the title. At the same time, I will also recommend Zhang Feng, the second son of the Zhang family, as the new successor.
Military Sima, Changshan County will purchase 5,000 sets of armor and equipment, all of which will be handed over to the Zhang family."
"Zhang Feng thanks you for your kindness."
Zhang Feng took one step forward, knelt down directly on the ground, and served him with great courtesy. He originally thought it would be a criticism meeting, but who would have thought that it would turn out to be a pie in the sky.
"Where is Zhao Bing?"
"The humble position is here~"
When Zhao Bing heard his name being mentioned, he quickly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee.
"This time, your Zhao family has contributed a lot. Your position as chief minister will remain unchanged. In addition, I have decided to purchase 3,000 military horses through the Zhao family."
When Zhao Bing heard Yuan Shu's words, he showed a smile like a flower on his face. Three thousand military horses is not a small number. The Zhao family only has a few hundred horses in stock now. It seems that he needs to contact them to send the horses quickly.
"Li Lin, are you here?"
"The official is here~"
"Zhending Mansion is in urgent need of a large amount of people's livelihood supplies. All these have been left to your Li family."
"Follow me~"
Li Lin also knelt on one knee and saluted Yuan Shu.
"Zhen Ding ordered Sun Wei and the county captain Zhou Chang."
"The official is here~"
"The humble position is here~"
Seeing that all three major families had received unexpected benefits, Sun Wei's face was already filled with joy.
The Sun family is in charge of grain. It can be said that everyone in Quanzhen Dingfu relies on him for their livelihood. It seems that the grain in the Sun family's granary can be sold at a good price.
"You two are the chief officials and county lieutenants of Zhending Mansion, but because you neglected to take precautions, you gave the Yellow Turbans an opportunity. Moreover, during the war, you two were greedy for life and afraid of death, which ruined the morale of our army. I should punish you.
What crime?"
Sun Wei, who was smiling, suddenly let out a thump and was immediately stunned.
This script is wrong. Logically speaking, Yuan Shu has just arrived. Even if he wants to kill a hundred people, he can't choose him. The Sun family controls the lifeblood of the whole city. I'm really not afraid that the Sun family will starve to death in Zhending Mansion.
Eighteen hundred people?
"Sir, you can't afford to wear such a low-level title, and you are negligent in taking precautions? There are elite Wuqu soldiers stationed in Changshan County in this Zhending Mansion. I have a small Zhending Order to take charge of that round. You said that I am greedy for life and afraid of death.
, I would like to ask which of them has been on the city wall. This is not fair, sir. Moreover, the weather this year is not good. If the food harvest fails, many people will starve to death."
Sun Wei was not a good person, so he immediately took out the Sun family's most powerful weapon.
"I can't see whether they are on the city wall or not. I only see that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you have corrupted military discipline. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, I will sentence you two to dismissal from office and confiscate your homes. You can accept it."
"Let's see who dares to touch my Sun family."
As soon as Yuan Shu finished speaking, he saw Zhou Chang pull out the long sword from his waist and rush towards him in a flash.
"Mufan, don't~"
Seeing Zhou Chang take action, Sun Wei's face turned pale.
It's over, it's over, it's all over now. Even if Yuan Shu attacks him this time, the Sun family will have backup options to deal with it, but once Zhou Chang's sword comes out, it will be irreversible.
Sun Wei is Sun Wei, Zhou Chang is Zhou Chang. People are different and their hearts are different.
Zhou Chang was originally just the second son of a small family. With his good looks and extraordinary courage, he was spotted by the head of the Sun family and recruited as his son-in-law. From then on, Zhou Chang rose to prominence and was not only recommended by the Sun family.
Later he became the captain of Zhending County, married two concubines, and lived a comfortable life.
If Yuan Shu dismissed his official position and ransacked his family now, it might not matter to Sun Wei, and it wouldn't matter if the Sun family had a great business, but to Zhou Chang, it would be tantamount to a disaster, and it would be better to make a fortune than to do that.
"Don't hurt my lord~"
Suddenly there was a thunderous roar outside the door, and then a sharp knife was seen, like lightning, nailing Zhou Chang to the pillar, and bright red blood flowed down like a stream.
Wen Chou's iron tower-like body was standing at the door, completely blocking the sunlight outside.
"Sun Wei, your attempt to assassinate me is an unforgivable crime. Wen Chou quickly captured Sun Wei. At the same time, he notified Yan Liang and mobilized his troops to kill all the Sun family rebels. All the rice and grain shops underneath were confiscated."
"Follow me~"
Wen Chou waved his hand, and the two guards behind him directly held Sun Wei to the ground. At the same time, one of the guards quickly ran out and ran towards the private cavalry camp.
"The prefect has an order. The Sun family members and others have committed crimes and intend to rebel. I order Yan Junhou to lead troops to destroy them~"
"Here~"
After receiving Yuan Shu's order, Yan Liang immediately made arrangements.
"Yuan Fang, you lead three hundred elite cavalry and rush to the Sun family's Wubao farm outside the city. Be sure not to let anyone go. The rest will follow me to the Sun family's mansion."
"Follow me~"
"Yuan Ding, please lead two hundred elite cavalry, close the city gate, and don't let any of the Sun family escape."
"Follow me~"
"The rest of the people will follow me to the Sun family mansion."
"No~"
After Yan Liang made some arrangements, more than 800 cavalry came out in full force, and the troops were divided into three groups and set off separately.
Kaiyang Street
A wide street spans the north and south. The most numerous rice shops and grain shops on this street are more than a dozen. These are the rice shops of the Sun family or affiliated businesses that rely on the Sun family. Kaiyang Street
At the southernmost end of the house is a mansion with an extremely large area. This is where the Sun family's mansion is located.
At noon, no one was buying rice at all, the whole street was empty, and the shop assistants were dozing off and enjoying the free sunbathing.
"Da da da"
The sound of horse hoofbeats broke the tranquility of Kaiyang Street. A young boy suddenly stood up and stretched his head out, but after taking a look, he immediately retracted his head.
