Beiya Quanhuan did not give the major families in Guanlong a chance. After confiscating the Dugu mansion, Song Chaofeng sent five thousand soldiers to surround the mansions of the major families. At this time, there was still one day left before the three-day deadline, and they had to do it the next day.
Hand over the required amount of money before dark, otherwise your home will be ransacked.
Without the protection of the Li clan and the support of their own army, the dozens of Guanlong families were just a bunch of fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Even the Queen Mother could not help them.
At noon the next day, the Dou family took the lead in handing over 50,000 taels of gold, followed by the Changsun family, the Hou Mochen family, the Yu family, the Wu family, the Zhao family, the Yang family, the Daxi family, and the Helan family.
The family, Doulu family, Yuwen family, etc., all major aristocratic families spent huge sums of money one after another, amassing a fortune worth two million yuan.
Song Chaofeng immediately ordered the withdrawal of the troops. The wealth of these two million yuan not only made the North Yamen happy, but also the civil and military officials of the South Yamen. They had a rare unanimous stance on depriving the Guanlong family of wealth.
But this slaughter has made all the major families heartbroken, and they have realized the crisis of survival.
The common people are not guilty, but they are guilty of possessing the jade. The huge wealth they possess has become the target of the major ruling classes. Evacuation from Bashu is their top priority.
In the back hall of Dou Mansion, Dou Yi said to Zhang Yun: "I have asked other families. They don't have much wealth left on hand at present. They are all hiding in other places, and some are hidden in various places in Bashu. They are relatively hidden. Then there are
Manors, shops, houses and other properties cannot be moved anyway, so don’t worry too much, so it’s best for people to evacuate first. General Zhang, see if there is any solution?”
Zhang Yun pondered for a moment and said: "If we walk together, the movement will be louder and we will be easily discovered. It is better to walk separately, and then gather on the Minjiang River at night to get on the boat, and leave Bashu directly by boat."
Dou Yi sighed and said, "If they find out, they will send troops to chase us!"
Zhang Yun smiled slightly and said: "I have brought a thousand of the most elite troops. I believe I can protect everyone's safety."
The Dou brothers looked at each other with shock in their eyes. It was unbelievable that Guo Song's thousand troops were hidden in Chengdu.
But they were in high spirits, and Dou Yi said quickly: "Actually, we also have a plan to leave by boat. We will first transfer our wealth and family members outside the city. On the day of departure, everyone will make an appointment to leave the city and gather outside the city.
, as for ships, we can get fifty thousand-stone passenger ships."
Zhang Yun thought that there would be ten passenger ships at most, but he did not expect that the other party actually prepared fifty ships. He suddenly realized that the departure of these families would not be silent, and there would definitely be some twists and turns.
...........
Zuo Yintai is a secret warrior organization set up by Beiya, specializing in monitoring officials, assassinating dissidents, and monitoring the people of Chengdu. They continue to use Cangjian Pavilion to bribe spies, maids, grooms, etc. in the palaces of the imperial court. Guan Long
The family is no exception.
When the Guanlong family secretly transferred their family members and belongings outside the city, the spies in their mansion reported it to their superiors.
The general manager of Zuo Yintai is called Li Huang. He was originally the master of Jiangnan Hall of Cangjian Pavilion. After Cangjian Pavilion was disbanded by Emperor Li Shi, Li Huang returned to Chengdu with more than a hundred warriors to ask for an explanation, but Song Chaofeng took a fancy to him.
, the two hit it off and established a new secret warrior organization, named Zuoyintai after the Zuoyintai Gate where the imperial palace's administrative office was located.
Li Huang has the status of a lieutenant general in the bodyguard, and he can enter the palace at any time. He received news of the changes in the Guanlong family and hurriedly came to report to Song Chaofeng.
In the meeting hall, Song Chaofeng, Huo Xianming, and Dou Wenchang finished listening to Li Huang's report. Song Chaofeng said coldly: "A group of fat sheep just had some wool sheared, and they wanted to escape. I haven't skinned the sheep and removed the bones."
, what about mutton stew, is it so cheap?"
Liang Yin, the fifth guard next to him, said: "The Dou family's Northern Dragon Guard and the Changsun family's Southern Sword Guard are quite capable, so we should not take them lightly."
"Fart's strength!"
Huo Xianming said disdainfully: "In front of the army, these so-called warriors are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. They are vulnerable, so don't look down on them!"
Li Huang was a little embarrassed, wasn't this just talking about them?
In fact, he also knew that Huo Xianming was telling the truth. Although these warriors all claimed to be highly skilled in martial arts, capable of surveillance and assassination, they were nothing in front of a powerful army. They were lucky to escape.
Seeing Ju Wenzhen hesitate to speak, Song Chaofeng asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Father, this time my son participated in the Guanlong family's fund-raising and was quite moved. Their wealth is really huge. The Dou family gave out 50,000 taels of gold, all fifty taels and one ingot, a full thousand ingots. I believe they have more than
Such a small amount of gold, and the 200,000 taels of silver ingots from the Changsun family, actually have their own numbers. It is said that during the Emperor Gaozong, their family was able to mine and smelt silver. Other aristocratic families were similar, but their wealth was transferred to other places. Let's start now
, isn’t it a little bit of a warning, why not wait until they gather all their wealth together, and then catch them all in one fell swoop, everyone will get their wealth, I wonder what my father thinks?”
Ju Wenzhen was recognized as Song Chaofeng's successor. He was not only cunning and cunning, but also ruthless. Song Chaofeng valued him very much.
He nodded, approving Ju Wenzhen's plan to catch everyone in one fell swoop, and asked Dou Xianming and the others, "What do you think?"
Huo Xianming chuckled, "Wen Zhen said very well, let them gather their wealth by themselves, saving us the trouble of looking for it."
Dou Wenchang pondered for a moment and said: "The plan is feasible, but I still have to remind you not to be careless and keep an eye on them to prevent them from running away."
Song Chaofeng nodded and said to Ju Wenzhen: "If they run away because of your carelessness, then I think you let them go on purpose. You should know what this means?"
Ju Wenzhen broke into a cold sweat on her back, "Don't you dare!"
...........
The Dou family also retreated. Dou Yi got on a carriage, and there were more than a dozen black-clad warriors beside him. These were the Dou family's Beilong Guards. They were warriors who had been raised since childhood and were loyal to the Dou family.
This morning before dawn, dozens of bullock carts loaded with treasures left Chengdu first, and the Dou family's children also left with Xinruan.
Of course Dou Yi knew that they were being closely monitored. Through the car curtain, he could see a few cold eyes on the street, but they still needed to take a gamble, betting that Song Chaofeng would wait for them to gather together before taking action.
Their only support was Zhang Yun's thousand elite troops, and Song Chaofeng did not know of their existence.
"Master, there seems to be someone watching us upstairs in the inn."
Dou Meng, the leader of Beilong Guard, reminded Dou Yi in a low voice that he was staring at the two windows on the second floor of Shunfeng Inn. There were two people inside the windows who were obviously watching them.
"Ignore them and keep walking!"
The carriage continued towards the south gate. There were nearly a hundred soldiers standing at the south gate. The leader was none other than the eunuch Ju Wenzhen, looking at Dou Yi's carriage with a straight smile.
Dou Yi couldn't help but grasp the golden ring on the red sandalwood box. On the carriage, Dou Yi also carried three large red sandalwood boxes. The wooden boxes contained the fine wealth accumulated by the Dou family over the past century. Inside were the luminous pearls given by Emperor Taizong, called
Ningbi, as well as the authentic manuscripts of Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi and his son, and some treasures left by Empress Taimu. These treasures are priceless and are kept by the family owner.
Dou Yi stopped the carriage, pulled back the curtain and forced a smile, saying, "Eunuch Ju, what a coincidence!"
Ju Wenzhen chuckled, "Where are you going, Master Dou?"
"Let's go to the manor for a walk. I haven't been in a good mood lately."
"Be careful on the road! Especially with so many things." Ju Wenzhen quickly glanced at the box in the carriage and smiled.
"Thank you for your concern!"
Dou Yi put down the car curtain and ordered: "Let's go!"
The carriage started and drove towards the city gate. Ju Wenzhen watched the carriage go away with his hands behind his hands. A general next to him said: "Why didn't you just stop him, father-in-law?"
Ju Wenzhen shook his head, "Stop him, it will scare the enemy away, let him go, sooner or later they will be the meat on my chopping board!"
Speaking of this, a trace of viciousness flashed in Ju Wenzhen's eyes. These Guanlong nobles have always been aloof and regarded themselves as pigs and dogs. Now they are finally falling into their hands. It would be strange not to deal with them properly. Let these Guanlong nobles
Nobles have a taste of what it means to be humble and what it means to be inferior to pigs and dogs.
