Chapter 140: Provocation
Although Scam brought bad news from his side, there was still good news, and the good news was that although their funds were relatively tight, the production of pet grooming pills was still very smooth. During this time, the production of pet grooming pills has not stopped, so Scam's this time even exceeded Ye Junwen's expectations.
"Now that production has become large-scale, as long as there is a steady supply of raw materials, it can continue to be produced." "But the problem now is that we run out of raw materials, and we don't have the funds to buy the next batch of raw materials, and even the money for this batch of raw materials is on credit." ”
It is true that the problem is more serious, but after thinking about it, Ye Junwen also walked outside, looked at the city lord's mansion next to him, and suddenly said: "Since the funds are so tight at present, let's go and grab a wave, which can be regarded as prepaying for weapons, after all, my weapons will also be equipped with the imperial army in the future, so there is no problem in paying some money now." ”
"Huh?" Scam was slightly stunned, and looked out in the direction Ye Junwen was looking, but he didn't know which side Ye Junwen was looking at, "My lord, what ......do you mean by robbing?"
"Of course it's robbing the richest man in the city, city lord...... It must be very rich. Ye Junwen said.
"What?" Scam was slightly stunned, "Wait, my lord, you're not kidding, the lord here is Lord Count Tward, if I'm not mistaken, he seems to be ......"
"It's the queen's younger brother, right, you heard it right, this is what I'm going to rob." Ye Junwen said.
"Huh? No, my lord, you ......" Scam didn't know how to say this, although it was not his turn to take care of this, but is this boldness a little too big, although you are a newly awarded Duke of the Empire, and the title is greater than that of Tvard, the earl, but you are a relative of the queen, can this be compared? In Scham's opinion, this is not an act of seeking death.
However, Ye Junwen definitely did not listen to persuasion, and soon an order went down, and Ye Junwen gathered one of the troops of the Second Legion. This unit can be regarded as Ye Junwen's guards, although the number is only 300, but all of them are the elite of the troops, and they are well-equipped, and they are specifically responsible for Ye Junwen's personal safety on the battlefield.
"Come, follow me!" Ye Junwen set off directly with the troops. But seriously, the soldiers didn't know where Ye Junwen was going to take them, and who was this going to deal with? It wasn't until they came to the annex next to the City Lord's Mansion that all the soldiers reacted a little, could it be that they were going to take action against the city.
Yes, the center of the town has been given to Ye Junwen and them as the command headquarters, and the city lord Count Twad has temporarily moved to the side courtyard, he is not a member of the army system, so it is normal not to let him participate, and if there is anything, just call him again. However, what I didn't expect was that the day after I moved over, this temporary city lord's mansion was surrounded by a large number of soldiers.
"My lord, what are we going to do here?" The captain of the Guards is named Teke, and he is considered to be the most powerful person in the Second Legion, although there is still a little gap from the super heads-up master that Ye Junwen wants, but it can still be used for the time being. Of course, he was also very strange about Ye Junwen's order this time.
"We're here to arrest traitors." Ye Junwen said, "I received a report that Count Twad had fornicated with the rebels and was already a traitor, so I came to arrest him. ”
"What?" Everyone was shocked, Count Tvard fornicated with the rebels? Although this is not impossible, they have not received any news before, and they are all surprised to hear about it.
"This ...... Your Excellency has solid evidence, and arresting an Imperial Count without evidence could cause trouble. Turk thought for a moment and said.
"Do you know where the gap is between you and the first-class generals?" Ye Junwen looked at Turk and asked.
"Uh......" Teke was a little confused, and he didn't know why Ye Junwen suddenly said this.
"That is, you can use your brains, and first-class generals don't use their brains, they will do whatever the people above tell them to do, let him cut people, let him attack." Ye Junwen said, "You are not a commander, why do you have so many opinions?" I'll carry it if something happens, what does it have to do with you? ”
"This ...... Adults teach us. Turk looked confused, but nodded his head and admitted his mistake. Anyway, Ye Junwen meant to let him obey the order, and there was nothing wrong with this.
"Wait here, I'll go in and confront him, and then you will rush in and arrest him when you hear my orders." Ye Junwen said.
"Huh? It's not ...... for you to go in alone, my lord."
"Well, what I said just now, listen to orders." Ye Junwen said.
"Yes, sir." Ye Junwen said so, what else can Teke say, it can only be like this.
So Ye Junwen's guards were all guarding outside, waiting for Ye Junwen's order, while Ye Junwen walked directly into the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion alone. Of course, the situation inside is already chaotic now, and the movement outside is seen by a blind man, Count Dwad is indeed panicking to death now, he really contacted the rebels, and now it is surrounded, everyone knows what is going on, but unfortunately there are not many soldiers around him now.
Yes, of course, the people of the city lord's guard were outside, and they didn't gather at all, and Count Twad didn't expect Ye Junwen to suddenly arrest people at this time, so he didn't have any preparation at all. Count Twad now only has a few knight guards around him, and there are 300 guards armed to the teeth outside, directly surrounding their courtyard, which is impossible to get out at all.
Now in this situation, Count Twad can only take a breath to keep calm, if the other party really makes a move, they will definitely have no choice, but the other party is just surrounding, and has not directly attacked, which means that there should be room for maneuver, in this case, of course, Count Twad has to make a last fight.
Soon, the gate of Beppu opened, and to the surprise of Count Twad, there was only one person who walked in from the door, and that was Ye Junwen. Count Twad said that he really didn't know what was going on, why did the other party come in alone, was he very confident in his skills? He didn't know what Ye Junwen's skills were, after all, he didn't know Ye Junwen before, but he just heard that he seemed to be very good at fighting.
"Lord Clovis." Count Twad spoke, "I wonder what you mean by suddenly surrounding my courtyard with troops?" ”
"I need to say more." Ye Junwen spread his hands and said, "I also wonder why you have this confidence and don't run away, do you really think that you won't be discovered?" I've been worried that you've run away all of a sudden, but I didn't expect you to dare to stay......"
Count Dwad panicked, sure enough, this was the case, but of course, he still pretended to have nothing to do on the surface and asked: "What do you say, Lord Duke, why do I want to run, I really don't understand." “
"I know, you think you've been pretending to be stupid, and if you don't understand something, you seem to be able to get away." Ye Junwen said, "But it's a pity, I'm here to kill you this time, and I advise you to abandon the idea of 'I won't do it without evidence', otherwise I'm afraid you will die." ”
"You...... Dare to do it to me? Count Twad asked.
"What don't you dare, who do you think you are." Ye Junwen said, "It's just the queen's younger brother, not the emperor, you are committing treason now, who can protect you?" The queen can't keep it. ”
"You...... You have no proof. Count Twad was a little angry, and shouted directly, "Even if you forcibly kill me, you will definitely die after the battle!" ”
"Evidence? What evidence do you need to deal with it? Ye Junwen spread his hands, and then directly took out a note, "This should be regarded as evidence of your contact with the rebels, just say that it was found in your house, anyway, you have been killed, there is no proof of death, and you can still confront me."
"You ......" Count Twad was stunned, Ye Junwen actually said to his face that he was going to falsify evidence to frame him, you are too much.
"yes, I just want to kill you." Ye Junwen smiled and said, "To be honest, you may not know that the business I recently invested in is a little bit of a loss, and the money can't be returned, so I just like your family property, I really don't know if you rebelled or not, but this is a good opportunity, just let me copy your home." As for whether you rebelled or not, it doesn't matter at all, the point is that you have money, I want to kill you, and that's it. ”
Hearing this, Count Twad was really a little angry, this is really too much, but this thing doesn't care whether he rebelled or not, he actually took a fancy to his family property, to be honest, this family property has been collected by him all his life, not to mention being snatched away, people still say that he is a traitor or something, it is really unbearable.
"Now I'll give you a chance." At this moment, Ye Junwen suddenly said.
"Opportunity?" Count Twad was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "I am willing to give my family property to you, my lord." ”
"No, no, not this kind of opportunity." Ye Junwen said, "Why do I want you to hand it over to me, I'll kill you and rob myself, and I want you to agree?" I mean, you kneel down and kowtow to me now, I'll let you die decently, at least keep a whole corpse, otherwise it will be a little ugly if you just chop it up and feed it to the dogs. ”
"I'm X Nima!" Count Twad couldn't help it even if he had a good temper, and shouted directly: "I'm going to pull you on your back if I die, give it to me!" ”
At this moment, Ye Junwen also saw the ring on his hand flash, and nodded with satisfaction.
