After a lot of torture, Xie Feiyang couldn't bear it anymore. He hung his head and said,
"I---I said---"
Ning Zhifu raised his hand, and the yamen runners immediately stepped aside.
"explain!"
Xie Feiyang weakly raised his eyelids and glanced at Ning Zhifu.
"The Imperial Guards are under orders from the Emperor to track down a batch of important items."
"General Fan---Fan received news and asked me to wait---follow behind..."
"It's good to look for opportunities and pick up leaks."
Even if Prefect Ning ordered someone to beat him to death, he wouldn't dare to say that the emperor ordered the palace guards to hunt down Shen Yong.
If these words were to get out of his mouth, it would be strange that Emperor Tianwu would forgive him. Being torn into pieces by five horses or executed by slow slicing would be the least punishment.
Anyway, what he said is correct, that's the fact.
They followed the Imperial Guards just to take advantage of the situation. Once the Imperial Guards killed Chen Yong, their mission would be accomplished.
Prefect Ning frowned and looked at Xie Feiyang.
A first-class important item!?
Aren’t those the things in his private vault?
Emperor Tianwu was indeed going to take action against him.
However, judging by the stealthy way Emperor Tianwu was proceeding, he probably had no intention of arresting him.
But when he thought that every time he saved up so many things, they would be swept away by others, he felt uncomfortable.
How could he have a peaceful life from now on? He had a knife hanging over his neck every day.
Prefect Ning looked at Xie Feiyang deeply, then turned and left the cell.
Everything will be settled after his men catch up with the imperial guards.
Since those people were not running to the capital, he would directly accuse them of being bandits.
Take the things back first...
........
Seeing that they were almost at the gate of Danyun City, Zhang Wenyuan consciously rushed to the front.
Just before the city gate was about to close, Zhang Wenyuan showed his badge as a second-class imperial guard.
The badge of the palace guard was very useful. The guard at the city gate didn't dare to ask any more questions and let him pass.
Who dares to investigate the imperial guards who go out on business for the emperor?
The guard at the city gate watched a long line of imperial guards on horseback enter the city, and his first reaction was that something was about to change in the city again.
A certain official's good days may be over.
As the sun sets, there are no more people on the streets of Danyun City.
Before the city gates were closed, most of the people had already left the city and returned to their villages.
There were only scattered officials' sons and merchants strolling on the streets.
Seeing the large number of people riding horses and carrying swords into the city, these people consciously moved to the sides of the road.
Anyone coming from that direction is either a noble from the capital or someone from Menglan City. In any case, it is better to avoid them.
When it got dark, Zhang Wenyuan found a relatively large inn, showed his badge and checked in.
"Boss Shen, it will take about two days to leave Danyun City. Let's stay at the inn tonight and tomorrow night instead of the post station."
Zhang Wenyuan sat opposite Shen Yong and glanced at Shen Yong's room.
The rooms in the inn are much more luxurious than those in the post house.
The main reason is that the post station is full of government officials, and it is actually a bit inconvenient for them to live there.
He was mainly worried that someone inside would see their attitude towards Shen Yong and spread the news to the capital.
Of course, this matter must be kept secret for as long as possible to prevent Emperor Tianwu from sending people after him again.
(Secret Guards: We've already caught up to them, but unfortunately they were killed the moment they showed their heads...)
Shen Yong glanced around the room and played with the exquisite tea set on the table.
Oh my god, who understands the feeling of having antiques all over the floor.
Because he was tired of being poor, he couldn't help but want to sell these antiques in the mall.
Even though his balance has exceeded 100 million, he still can't help but want to sell something.
Who would complain about having too much money?
Especially since he will have to support so many troops in the future, this money will not be enough.
"Okay, let's find a fancier inn to stay in tomorrow."
As he spoke, Shen Yong took out a silver note of one hundred taels and handed it to Zhang Wenyuan.
"Let's go to the best restaurant and order three tables of food."
When passing by Danyun City, you naturally have to try the local specialties.
The comfortable days are only for these two days. After passing Danyun City, we have to walk on the mountain road.
You have to have two good meals.
He had taken over so many money houses, and there were dozens of boxes of banknotes piled up in his space, and he didn't feel any pain at all in using them.
".....Okay!" Zhang Wenyuan took the banknote and looked at Shen Yong deeply.
He is now finding it increasingly difficult to see through Chen Yong.
I exchanged so much cash and so many boxes of silver in Menglan City.
He didn't dare to fall asleep at night, and kept listening carefully to the movements in Chen Yong's room next door.
As a result, I stayed up all night until morning, but didn't hear anyone enter Chen Yong's room.
As a result, when he set out the next day, he saw that there was not a single box of silver in Shen Yong's room.
With so many heavy boxes, it must have taken a lot of people to carry them out, but he really didn't hear any sound.
Zhang Wenyuan left the inn with the silver note, looked back in the direction of Shen Yong's room, and felt even more afraid of him.
People are instinctively afraid of the unknown.
He now felt that he knew nothing about Chen Yong. His previous understanding of Chen Yong was completely overturned. This feeling really made him tremble with fear.
After Shen Yong watched Zhang Wenyuan leave, he immediately called Sun Ren and Ji Yongjia.
"Go to the bank and exchange it for 20,000 taels of silver!"
Shen Yong took out two silver notes of 10,000 taels and handed them to Sun Ren.
Not far from the inn, there is a bank that looks quite luxurious, and it looks much bigger than the banks in Menglan City.
He first tested the waters to see if these banks and pawnshops had any connection with the powerful people in Danyun City.
However, according to normal nature, it is impossible that these two stores have no connection with local bureaucrats.
Sun Ren's eyes widened as he watched Chen Yong casually take out 20,000 taels of silver.
After all, they are a prominent family with a deep foundation, and they casually take out silver notes worth tens of thousands of taels.
As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Shen family was confiscated and exiled. Any silver note he took out was more than he could earn in his entire life.
"......Yes, I'll be there right away."
Sun Ren took the two banknotes with trembling hands, his heart beating fast.
Ji Yongjia looked at Shen Yong in shock.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yong was not shy at all in front of him, and even let him participate in such an important matter.
Twenty thousand taels of silver notes is not a lot in the eyes of the wealthy families, but there are very few people who can afford it.
Many wealthy families have jewelry and jade ornaments that are worthy of display, and they serve as a symbol of their appearance.
There is not much cash available.
Especially now that all the aristocratic families in the capital have been punished by God, they are unable to come up with so much cash.
"Go quickly and come back quickly~" Chen Yong waved his hand casually.
By the time they got the silver, the food was almost ready to be delivered.
Sun Ren nodded, turned around and left Chen Yong's room quickly.
