Chapter 202: Contingency
When the post house was in chaos due to a sudden fire, in a warehouse in the back hall of the Overseer's Mansion in the city, Ganzhou Thorn Shi Lei Sitong was taking Sun Bingchen to visit some of the Ye family's belongings confiscated from the warehouse......
The entourage and attendants of the two, at this time, quietly stayed away from the two of them, so that the conversation between the two would not enter the ears of the third person at this time.
"On the day of the attack on the Ye family, in the Ye family's underground warehouse found the Ye family's storage of gold and silver, the first sergeants who rushed in were stunned, they have grown so big, they have never seen so many mountains of gold and silver piled up together......" The two walked slowly in the warehouse, Lei Si opened the boxes piled up more than two meters high next to him while walking, in the light of the fire lit in the warehouse, the silver in the box emitted a layer of light, dazzling people's eyes," There are 1,171 such boxes in the underground warehouse of Yejiabao, with a total of 2.78 million taels of silver, just by transporting these boxes from Yejiabao, there are more than 500 vehicles requisitioned in Weiyuan County, and at this moment only part of the warehouse is placed here, and there is a lot of silver, I have already asked people to transport it to Ganzhou City......"
Lei Sitong's tone didn't know whether to be happy or emotional, he said, while opening a smaller box, the small box opened, and inside was a dazzling golden light, Lei Sitong stretched out his hand, reached out in the golden light, and a handful of golden gold was scooped up by his hand, and then flowed down from his fingers like fine sand, making a unique rustling sound, "Does Lord Sun know where this thing came from?"
Sun Bingchen also stretched out his hand, took out a handful of fine sand-like things from the box and held them in his hand, and looked at them carefully, the things in his hand were heavy, golden, and golden, but if you look carefully, under the firelight, the surface of the golden sand, in addition to the bright golden yellow, in the firelight, there is also a faint layer of bright red, which makes the gold sand look more magnificent and colorful, with a layer of bewitching aura, Sun Bingchen let the thing slide down from the palm of his hand, and sighed slightly, " This must be the rose gold specialty of the Shattan people......"
"Yes, this is the rose gold special product of the Shatu people, this rose gold is the same as ordinary gold, it is red gold, but because its color has an extra layer of rose-like bright red, so it looks very special, the jewelry made of rose gold is more beautiful, in the Han Empire, it is more popular with those women and girls, so the same weight of rose dust gold, if it is exchanged for silver, is more than ordinary gold!" Master Sun knows how many of these rose gold from the Shatu people that we have found in the Ye family this time?"
"I'm afraid it's a lot?"
"Of course there are a lot, there are more than 200 such boxes, and the total rose gold in them is more than 300,000 taels, but these family wealth of the Ye family is added together, and the ranks of the Ganzhou army for ten years can not be exhausted, these money are all the people of Ganzhou, especially the rose dust gold of these Shatu people, it is the most direct proof of the Ye family's transaction with the Shatu people, the desert where the Shatu people are located does not produce much iron, and the weapons are very precious, I don't know how many swords and weapons the Ye family sold to the Shatu people, so as to get so much rose gold from the hands of the Shatu people, the Shatu people take those swords and weapons obtained from the Ye family, once something happens in the future, I don't know how much blood of the people of the empire will be contaminated, a big clan like the Ye family, called a wealthy family, is really a maggot, let them keep it, it is a scourge!" Speaking of the back, Lei Sitong's tone already carried a trace of cold killing intent.
"So, wasn't the Ye family shoveled out by Lord Lei?"
"But there is still one person in the Ye family alive, and that person is also a scourge!" Lei Sitong stopped and looked at Sun Bingchen with a blank face.
"Ye Tiancheng, I have to bring it to the Imperial Capital!" Sun Bingchen shook his head, his tone resolute.
"Lord Sun, I'm afraid you won't be able to bring Ye Tiancheng to the Imperial Palace!"
"Could it be that Lord Lei wants to leave Ye Tiancheng behind?" Sun Bingchen looked at Lei Sitong, his eyes were like a sword, and he didn't back down at all, and the temperature between the two of them, as soon as she said this, instantly seemed to drop by several degrees.
"Even if Ye Tiancheng can get out of Ganzhou, does Master Sun think he will be able to reach the Imperial Capital alive?" Lei Sitong shook his head and said calmly, "The one in the Imperial Palace, now I am afraid that I would like Ye Tiancheng to die on the road, what is Lord Sun going to take Ye Tiancheng to the Imperial Capital for, that person also knows that Lord Sun thinks that person will not do anything, and will wait for Lord Sun in the Imperial Capital You will take Ye Tiancheng to the Imperial Capital safely?" With that person's means and ability, the entire empire is just a chessboard, the Ye family has gone too far in Ganzhou, let him lose a game, he can naturally find it back elsewhere, the Ye family is useless to that person now, just like an outcast, that person will not compensate himself for an outcast!"
"I know!"
"Taking Ye Tiancheng back to the imperial capital is equivalent to going on the road with a big trouble, if Ye Tiancheng really dies at the hands of Lord Sun, that person may use this as an excuse to hold Lord Sun accountable, so the best way is to let Ye Tiancheng die in Ganzhou, then there will be no trouble!"
Sun Bingchen was silent for a long time before he said faintly, "Your Majesty is still waiting for me to take someone back!"
Lei Sitong also sighed, "The imperial power is declining, it is not a day's work, even if Ye Tiancheng is brought to the imperial capital, so what, the situation in the imperial capital, how can a county guard who wears a crime and exterminates the clan change?"
"Your Majesty has the grace of knowing me, and now the state affairs are difficult, and some things, even if they are broken, someone has to do them!"
Looking at Sun Bingchen's resolute face, Lei Sitong finally sighed and gave up persuading Sun Bingchen, "When you go back after eating, if Ye Tiancheng doesn't die, I won't make a move, and in the entire territory of Ganzhou, I will send troops to protect you, and after leaving Ganzhou, Lord Sun will take care of himself!"
......
By the time Sun Bingchen and Liang Yijie and their party left the Overseer's Mansion, the time was already two hours later, the night was deep, the cold air hit people, and the group rode a rhinosaurus horse on the street in Weiyuan City, and the sound of horses' hooves was extremely loud in the silent night.
From the Overseer's Mansion to the post house in the city, you have to pass through almost half of Weiyuan City.
Liang Yijie, who was riding on the rhinosaurus horse, looked a little anxious, "My lord, do you want me to go back and have a look first!"
"No need, it's all at this time, Lord Lei has already exhausted any means, we will know the result when we go back!" Sun Bingchen shook his head.
"I'm afraid that Liqiang can't cope with it alone......"
"If that's the case, it's providence!"
......
Sun Bingchen and his entourage returned to the post house, only to find that the post house was a mess, the place where Ye Tiancheng was imprisoned before, the entire building, half of the burned down, seven or eight rooms were reduced to nothing, and in that burned ruins, those blackened wooden beams and pillars were still curling with smoke......
Seeing such a scene, whether it was Sun Bingchen or Liang Yijie, their hearts were cold.
"What about Yan Liqiang, what about Ye Tiancheng, are they okay?" As soon as he arrived, Liang Yijie immediately grabbed an accompanying escort officer and asked.
The guard officer with the smell of fireworks on his face looked bitter and stopped talking.
"Tell me the truth!" Sun Bingchen's face also sank suddenly.
"This ...... When the fire breaks out...... Everyone was busy putting out the fire...... At that time, there was chaos in this post house, and when everyone reacted, the Yan guard and Ye Tiancheng no longer knew...... I don't know where to go, we searched everywhere in the post house, but we didn't find any trace of two people, only this one!" the officer said, and asked the person next to him to take out a pair of handcuffs and leg irons, these things were worn on Ye Tiancheng's body, but for some reason, they had been opened.
"Ah, Yan Liqiang didn't have the key to open the shackles on Ye Tiancheng's body, were the two of them killed?" Liang Yijie asked eagerly.
"I didn't see them when the fire started, and there were no bones left in the room, so I should ...... There shouldn't have been any death!"
"My lord, I'll go to the Overseer's Mansion......" Liang Yijie looked indignant, and his fists clenched tightly.
Sun Bingchen looked at the scene in the post house, then looked at the shackles that were opened, closed his eyes, and after a few seconds, he opened them, took a deep breath, and said, "Wait a little longer......
As soon as Sun Bingchen's voice fell, the two of them heard an exclamation from the guards at the gate of the post house, "Ah, the Yan guards are back, ...... are back."
When Liang Yijie heard this, he instantly rushed towards the door of the post house.
A few seconds later, Liang Yijie saw Yan Liqiang and Sun Bingchen, both of them changed into a set of clothes, wore hats, and smeared a lot of soot on their faces, which were almost unrecognizable, especially Ye Tiancheng, who was no longer handcuffed and shackled, Yan Liqiang's hand was on Ye Tiancheng's waist, covering his hand with his sleeve, and when he came to the post house, Yan Liqiang's hand left Ye Tiancheng's lower waist, put away a short sword in his hand, and smiled at Liang Yijie, " Brother Liang, fortunately, he didn't lose his life, and finally didn't lose Ye Tiancheng......"
Ye Tiancheng glanced at Yan Liqiang with a complicated gaze, and said nothing.
Liang Yijie patted Yan Liqiang's shoulder heavily, pretending to overhead and ordered, "Take Sun Bingchen down......
The guards and honor guards beside Sun Bingchen looked at Yan Liqiang's gaze at this time, which was different from before.
Also in this post house, several people who were hidden in the post house among the servants looked at Sun Bingchen and Yan Liqiang who appeared again, and they also clenched their teeth and were a little deflated, the servant who had sent food to Yan Liqiang before looked at Sun Bingchen who appeared, his eyes were cold, and he was about to take out something from under his sleeve, but a hand stretched out from behind him and pressed it on his shoulder, and he also heard four words in his ears, "My lord ordered, this is the end of it......"
......
"Liqiang, what happened just now......" A few minutes later, in Sun Bingchen's room, Sun Bingchen and Liang Yijie both stared at Yan Liqiang with sparkling eyes, like a flower on Yan Liqiang's face.
Yan Liqiang touched his nose, "Actually, it's nothing, I just improvised and played a little game with some people......"
After listening to Yan Liqiang say what happened, Sun Bingchen and Liang Yijie's eyes on Yan Liqiang also changed......
