Chapter 777: Evacuation of Bashu (Part I)
The eunuchs of the Northern Ya Quan did not give the major families of Guanlong a chance, in the copy of the Dugu mansion, Song Chaofeng sent 5,000 soldiers to surround the mansions of the major families, at this time there is still one day before the three-day deadline, they must hand over the prescribed money before dark the next day, otherwise they will directly raid the house.
Without the protection of the Li clan and the support of their own army, dozens of Guanlong families are a group of fat sheep to be slaughtered, and even the Queen Mother can't 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 Mo Chen family, the Yu family, the Wu family, the Zhao family, the Yang family, the Daxi family, the Helan family, the Doulu family, the Yuwen family, etc., and the major families took out huge sums of money and made up enough wealth worth two million guan.
Song Chaofeng immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, and the wealth of these two million guan not only made the northern yaya happy, but even the civil and military officials of the southern ya, and the northern and southern yas rarely took the same position on depriving the Guanlong family of wealth.
But this slaughter has made the hearts of the major families feel painful, and they have realized the existential crisis.
The Pifu is not guilty, but they are guilty, and the huge wealth they possess has become the target of the major ruling classes, and it is their top priority to evacuate Bashu first.
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 at present, they are all hiding in other places, and some of them are hidden in various parts of Bashu, which are relatively hidden, and then there are manors, shops, houses and other properties, anyway, they can't be moved, don't worry too much, so it's best for people to evacuate first, General Zhang to see if there is any way?" ”
Zhang Yun pondered for a moment and said: "If you go together, the movement is relatively large, and it is easy to be discovered, so it is better to go separately, and then concentrate on the Minjiang River at night to get on the boat, and leave Bashu directly by boat." ”
Dou Yi sighed and said, "I'm afraid that if they find out, they will also send an army to chase after them!" ”
Zhang Yun smiled slightly: "I have brought a thousand of the most elite troops, and I believe that I can protect everyone's safety." ”
The Dou brothers glanced at each other, and both of them showed shock in their eyes, it was incredible that there were a thousand troops of Guo Song hidden in Chengdu.
But their spirits were greatly boosted, and Dou Yi hurriedly said: "Actually, we also have a plan to leave by boat, first transfer the wealth and family children outside the city, and on the day of departure, everyone will make an appointment to go out of the city and assemble outside the city, as for the ships, we can get fifty thousand stone passenger ships." ”
Zhang Yun thought that there were ten passenger ships at most, but he didn't expect the other party to prepare fifty ships, and he suddenly realized that the departure of these families would not be quiet, and there would inevitably be some twists and turns.
..........
Zuoyintai was a secret samurai organization set up by the Northern Ya, specializing in monitoring hundreds of officials, assassinating dissidents, and supervising the people of Chengdu, who continued to use the secret agents bought by the Tibetan Sword Pavilion in the palace of the imperial government, or maids, or grooms, etc., and the Guanlong family was no exception.
When the Guan Long family secretly transferred their families and belongings outside the city, the secret agents in their mansion reported to the authorities.
After the Tibetan Sword Pavilion was disbanded by the decree of Li Shi, Li Huang returned to Chengdu with more than 100 samurai to ask for an explanation, but was favored by Song Chaofeng, and the two hit it off and established a new secret samurai organization, named Zuoyintai after the Zuoyintai Gate, where the palace was located.
Li Huang has the identity of the guard Zhonglang general, he can enter the palace at any time, he got the news of the change in the Guan Long family, and hurried to report to Song Chaofeng.
In the conference hall, Song Chaofeng, Huo Xianming, and Dou Wenchang listened to Li Huang's report, and Song Chaofeng said coldly: "A group of fat sheep has just been sheared a little wool, and they want to escape, I haven't skinned the sheep, dismantled the sheep bones, and stewed the mutton, is there such a cheap thing?" ”
The fifth guard next to Liang Yin**: "The Dou family's Northern Dragon Guard and the Eldest Sun Family's Southern Sword Guard still have some strength, so don't take it lightly." ”
"The strength of the fart!"
Huo Xianming said disdainfully: "In front of the army, these so-called warriors are a group of local chickens and dogs, they are vulnerable, don't look down on them!" ”
Li Huang was a little embarrassed, didn't that mean them?
In fact, he also knew that Huo Xianming was telling the truth, don't look at these warriors who boast of being strong in martial arts, they can monitor and assassinate, but in front of a powerful army, they are nothing, and they are lucky to be able to escape.
Song Chaofeng saw that Ju Wenzhen wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked, "What do you want to say?" ”
"Father, this time the children participated in the Guanlong family to raise money, quite emotional, their wealth is really huge, the Dou family took out 50,000 taels of gold, all of them are 50,000 taels of ingots, a whole thousand ingots, I believe they are not only so gold, but also the eldest grandson's 200,000 taels of silver and silver ingots, actually have their own number, it is said that in the era of Gaozong, their family was able to mine and smelt silver, and other families were similar, but their wealth was transferred to other places, we are doing it now, is it a bit of a scare, it is better to wait for them to gather their wealth together, Then it was all gone, everyone and money were obtained, I don't know what my father thought? ”
Ju Wenzhen is recognized as Song Chaofeng's successor, not only sinister and cunning, but also ruthless, Song Chaofeng attaches great importance to him.
He nodded, approved of Ju Wenzhen's plan to catch them all, and asked Dou Xianming and the others, "What do you think?" ”
Huo Xianming smiled, "Wen Zhen said it very well, let them gather wealth by themselves, so we don't have to go to find it." ”
Dou Wenchang pondered and said: "The plan is feasible, but I still have to remind you not to be careless, keep an eye on them, and don't let them run away." ”
Song Chaofeng nodded and said to Ju Wenzhen: "If they ran away because of your carelessness, then I think you deliberately let them go, you should know what this means?" ”
A cold sweat broke out on Ju Wenzhen's back, "The child doesn't dare!" ”
..........
The Dou family also retreated, Dou Yi got into a carriage, and there were more than a dozen black-clothed warriors next to him, this is the Dou family's Beilongwei, a warrior raised since childhood, loyal to the Dou family.
Before dawn this morning, dozens of ox carts loaded with treasures left Chengdu first, and the Dou children also left with their own soft ones.
Of course, Dou Yi knew that they had been closely monitored, and through the car curtain, he could see a few cold eyes on the street, but they still needed to gamble, betting that Song Chaofeng would wait for them to gather before making a move.
Their only reliance was Zhang Yun's 1,000-strong elite army, and Song Chaofeng did not know about their existence.
"Master, there seems to be someone watching over us upstairs at the inn."
Dou Meng, the leader of the Northern Dragon Guard, reminded Dou Yi in a low voice, and he stared at the two windows on the second floor of the Shunfeng Inn, where two people were obviously watching them.
"Ignore them and keep walking!"
The carriage continued to go towards the south city gate, and nearly a hundred soldiers stood by the south city gate, led by the eunuch Ju Wenzhen, who looked at Dou Yi's carriage with a smile.
Dou Yi couldn't help but grasp the gold ring on the rosewood box, on the carriage, Dou Yi also carried three large red sandalwood wooden boxes, the wooden boxes were all the boutique wealth accumulated by the Dou family for a hundred years, which contained the night pearl given by Emperor Taizong, called Ning Bi, as well as Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi's father and son manuscripts, as well as some treasures left by Queen Taimu, these treasures are priceless and kept by the head of the family.
Dou Yi stopped the carriage, pulled the curtain and forced a smile and said, "Father-in-law, it's a coincidence!" ”
Ju Wenzhen smiled, "Where is the Dou family master?" ”
"I went for a walk around the manor, and I haven't been in a good mood lately."
"Be careful on that road! Especially with so many things. Ju Wenzhen quickly glanced at the boxes in the carriage and smiled.
"Thank you for your concern!"
Dou Yi put down the curtain and shouted: "Let's go!" ”
The carriage started and drove towards the city gate, Ju Wenzhen looked at the carriage and walked away, and a general next to him said, "Why didn't my father-in-law stop him directly?" ”
Ju Wenzhen shook his head, "Stopping him will startle the snake, let him go, sooner or later they will be the fish on my chopping board!" ”
Speaking of this, a trace of viciousness flashed in Ju Wenzhen's eyes, these Guanlong nobles have always been high, seeing themselves as pigs and dogs, and now they are finally going to fall into their own hands, it is strange if they don't clean them up well, let these Guanlong nobles taste what is called low, what is called a pig and a dog.
