Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote
Chapter 443 How can we guard against thieves every day?
Chapter 443 How can one guard against thieves for a thousand days?
"Master, we still have one more night. Maybe there will be another chance."
Yu Wen's housekeeper stood beside his young master, leaning forward and whispering, "Don't worry about it. The family can still afford to lose this money. Although this year's revenue has been lost, we still made a lot of money in Fuliang. If you calculate it, we still made more than 800,000 taels."
That does sound like a lot, more than 800,000 taels a year. For ordinary merchants, that would be a celebration with firecrackers, but for the Yuwen family, it was simply an insult.
"I can not be reconciled."
Yuwen Yi took a deep breath, stood on the side of the road and looked at the carts of grain, coal and cotton being stored in the warehouse, his eyes gradually becoming more vicious.
"Go, gather the people from those families over here, I have something to say."
Soon, all the family representatives who had lost money gathered in front of him. Even when the group got together, there was not even one person who could stand up straight.
The atmosphere at the moment was predictably solemn, with the entire room filled with pessimism and despair. This group of people would surely be in big trouble if they returned. Some of them had to do things for them and some were their own sons and nephews, but without exception, they would basically be taken outside the Great Wall to watch wild donkeys breeding.
"We've gathered everyone here today, ah..."
Yuwen Yi sighed first: "Let me apologize to everyone here. I have been tricked by Dugu Han and have caused trouble for everyone."
Who could still be magnanimous and say it's okay at this moment? As a result, the money of these people went from earning hundreds of thousands to millions to losing hundreds of thousands to millions. If this got out, their careers would be over. Not jumping into the river to commit suicide was basically a sign of their strong will.
"Now I have a plan, which involves some risks. If you feel you dare to give it a try, then stay. If you feel you won't lose much, then you can leave now."
As soon as he said this, everyone present knew what he was going to do, so almost half of them immediately stood up and left.
Most of these people have deep roots in Fuliang. Although they suffered heavy losses this time, those aristocratic families that have been doing okay throughout the year feel that there is no need to play such a big game…if it doesn’t work out this year, they can try again next year.
But it’s different for those who stay. They have lost everything, and there is no way for them to turn things around unless they make a big deal.
Seeing so many people staying here, Yuwen Yi supported his hands on his knees, looking around with sharp eyes.
"Everyone, I think you all know what I am going to do. Dugu Han has gone too far and created such a huge situation. I am really a little indignant that I can't vent my anger."
"Master Yuwen, please tell me what should be done."
"Draw the accompanying servants and get ready. We will start at night."
This is not the first time they have done this. When Miss Tingyun’s shop was burned down, they used the same trick. Today they plan to do something big.
Several families have gathered together probably more than a hundred people. They are called servants but in fact they are real assassins. These people specialize in doing dirty things for the family, and now is the time for them to show their abilities.
These people prepared kerosene and fire starters, and they sneaked into the vicinity of Fuliang's warehouse without even needing any instructions.
These large warehouses are actually guarded by soldiers. They are certainly not stupid enough to confront the sentries. They just hide after they get to their positions.
At three o'clock in the morning, the caravan entering the city was still busy, and the shift change was about to begin in the warehouse. The hundred or so people took advantage of the time when the sentinels changed shifts to quietly move closer, and then hid in the shadows of the night and waited for their opportunity to act.
At this moment, the sound of dog barking suddenly rang out, and then ten ox carts suddenly appeared in front of them. Behind the ox carts were large iron cages, and in each cage there was a big dog with a ferocious look.
These dogs are all descendants of the puppies that Xia Lin won for Princess Pingyang when he was in Guangzhou. After breeding them with other famous dogs for several generations, Princess Pingyang trained about three hundred of them. The dogs are very spirited and have strong muscles all over their bodies. You can tell at first glance that they are strong and tough creatures, and you can tell at first glance that they are good dogs.
At this moment, the soldiers pulling the cart came down and began to open the dog cages. Then the dogs jumped off the cart one after another. At a whistle from the breeder, they immediately entered hunting mode.
Soon, all kinds of sounds were heard from the ambush points around, including the roar of dogs, the sound of people fighting with dogs, and the screams of people being bitten by dogs.
There were ten carts of dogs, almost two or three hundred of them, all of which were carefully trained and carried murderous aura. The excitement attracted a large number of soldiers to come and check. When they checked, they saw that there were already twenty-seven or eight people who had been bitten by the dogs and were lying on the ground, breathing more than breathing in. After seeing their clothes and the things on them, the guard whistles were blown.
After these one hundred or so assassins were killed, they immediately chose to retreat. They never expected that this damn place would call dogs to patrol during the shift change... They had been trained all their lives on how to avoid being pursued by people, but they had forgotten the capabilities of the dog.
Those who failed to leave were naturally caught, and the rest dispersed quietly. They did not dare to go back to report. After all, if they went back directly, the dog would really follow them.
But the problem now is that they can't go back to report, and can only inform the situation by burning a firework.
but……
Dugu Han also came from a top family. The moment she saw the fireworks rising, she knew what these people had done, and even knew whose assassins had lit the fireworks.
Dugu Han, who was about to take a rest, picked up a piece of clothing, put it on, opened the door and walked out. After looking around, he said: "City defense, mobilize the troops. Follow me."
"Order."
With the two orders combined, Dugu Han has already controlled the entire military and political power of Fuliang. Her words are equivalent to Xia Lin's orders. She will definitely not sell Fuliang at this moment, because her center of interest is right here.
Soon she arrived at the location of the warehouse. After seeing those dead men, she laughed. They were obviously people kept by the noble families. Some of them had their necks bitten and had died, while others were wailing on the ground.
At this moment, Dong Niang had already arrived with students from the medical school. They were treating the wounded and investigating the scene at the same time. The county's chief of police and his men were also standing at the scene, rubbing their hands.
When they saw Dugu Han coming, the head constable stepped forward and reported, "We found kerosene, fire starters, and fire balls on these people. Although they didn't say anything, they must have come here to burn the warehouse. The rest of the yamen will conduct further investigations."
"It's useless." Dugu Han shook his head and said, "They have all taken the poison and won't live until tomorrow morning."
As she spoke, she squatted down and opened the mask of a man. She had never seen this man's face before, but it made sense. If they were going to do such a dirty job, they would definitely not let a familiar face come up.
"Okay, okay." Dugu Han smiled: "How dare you burn me. You really don't take the Eight Pillars seriously."
The Dugu family lacked military power the most. But at present, both Dugu Douya's wife and husband had military power, and she was even in charge of the military and political affairs of the entire Fuliang.
The Dugu family, who have military power, are the perfect family. They can develop ruthlessness and tyranny to the extreme.
"Besiege the city, you are allowed to enter but not leave."
"Order!"
There is one bad thing about Fuliang, which is that it has no city walls. Unlike other places, where the city gates are closed and nothing can get out.
Such a siege can only send a large number of people to patrol back and forth to ensure that no suspicious people enter or leave. The recording mechanism in Fuliang is very strict. Although there is no pass system, you have to apply for something similar to an ID card whether you come here to do business or work. It must be valid with a certificate issued by the original government. The entire Fuliang police office and military camp were mobilized. Dugu Han also stayed up all night to command the deployment of defenses. During this period, six bandits were caught, and there were hundreds of prisoners, ranging from petty thefts and molesting women to murder and robbing and changing names to hide, but the only thing that could not be found was the trace of these assassins.
However, it is precisely because of this high-intensity investigation that everyone has become cautious and wary of any possible consequences.
At this moment, Yuwen Yi was sitting in the room, his expression uncertain: "I was discovered, how could this be discovered, how could this be discovered after doing it so many times?"
"Lord Yuwen, this Fuliang place is really weird. I just went there to investigate and heard that it was discovered by a dog."
"dog?"
"Exactly."
Yuwen Yi even laughed: "Those more than one hundred assassins are all martial arts masters. How could they be discovered by a dog?"
"Who knows? Those people said that they would bring dogs here every day when they patrolled the Fuliang warehouse. Those dogs would specifically bite people with kerosene on their bodies. Two or three hundred dogs would swarm over them, and even King Kong would not be able to withstand such tearing..."
"Two or three hundred!?"
Yuwen Yi was shocked. It is said that there is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. No wonder people say that Fuliang is weird. They say that they really guard against thieves day and night, and call dogs to search when changing shifts. What kind of ghost place is this?
"Lord Yuwen, Fuliang is under martial law right now, but what should we do?"
"Give orders to have them hide better."
"Oh no, oh no!" Someone suddenly rushed in from outside: "The 37 people from the Huang family were all taken away by Dugu Han!"
Yuwen Yi was stunned for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat. He actually forgot about the variable Dugu Han. The Dugu family was also one of the Eight Pillars of the State, and they were well aware of their tricks. When he saw the fireworks rising into the sky, he must have known who was leaking the information.
"It's over." Yuwen Yi, who had already stood up, sat down dejectedly: "Quick! Go and invite the princess... Tell her that Dugu Han wants to harm her cousin Yuwen."
The only thing Yuwen Yi can rely on at the moment is that his mother is the little princess's aunt. Dugu Han is a very vicious person and will definitely not let him go easily. And the people from the Huang family have been taken away, and no one knows whether they will betray him.
When Fuliang was sealed off, they were left with no hope of response from heaven or earth.
After a while, not much longer, just half a cup of tea, the servant came back with a sad face and head down. Yuwen Yi was still surprised and asked curiously, "So fast?"
But the servant did not answer, but just moved slightly away. Then Dugu Han used the fan to support his back. Because Dugu Han was small, even Yuwen Yi did not see her at first.
"Brother Yuwen."
Dugu Han walked up and sat at the table, his eyebrows raised slightly and glanced at Yuwen Yi: "I told you to practice more, why didn't you take it to heart?"
"What are you here for?"
"What am I here for?"
Dugu Han clapped his hands, and the sound of armor clashing came from outside. Looking up, he saw that the whole house was surrounded by Dugu Han, with weapons open and swords drawn, and the scene was solemn and murderous.
"Brother Yuwen." Dugu Han smiled and said, "I have to say something to you. We are all from the Eight Pillars family and we are related to each other. Why do you have to be so undignified? You also know that my brother has always been reasonable and will not make trouble. Well... How about this, Uncle Yuwen is still good to me, you go with my brother first, and then write a letter to ask Uncle Yuwen to come for a meeting."
"you……"
"Will you come with me, or should I take you?"
Don't look at Dugu Han's small stature. She has never been afraid of the prince in her life. The only thing is that she was bullied by someone. Little Yuwen Yi, isn't that just to be manipulated? Playing with him is like playing with a dog.
"Are you really going to ask my dad to come?"
"Are you qualified to ask me this? If we talk about seniority, I am the head of the family, who are you? If we talk about cause and effect, what have you done that you don't know clearly? Let's go, let's be respectful to each other."
Yuwen Yi was still rampant in the first half of the night, but his parents were called in the second half...
He sighed, and then was placed under house arrest. Then Dugu Han sent 17 letters to each family, asking them to come here immediately, saying that if they came, they could discuss it, but if they didn't come, they would suffer in the future.
This is really crazy, but no one can do anything to him. This is the Dugu family with military power. He has a hundred ways to destroy these small families, a hundred ways!
In the morning, the futures were delivered as usual, but Dugu Han had not rested for a day and a night. When she finished her work and looked up, it was already noon. She felt hungry and was about to eat something, but when she stood up, she felt dizzy and then lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she was already lying in the medical school. Dong Niang was sitting beside her, picking an enormous orange. The whole room was filled with the smell of orange peels.
"Ah?" Dugu Han struggled to sit up: "Did I faint?"
"Yeah." Dong Niang looked at her, hesitant to speak.
"I'm afraid I have some terminal illness?" Dugu Han was still a little panicked at this moment: "Just tell me directly."
"There is."
Dugu Han: “???”
After a long while, she leaned over and said, "What? Explain it more clearly."
"You are pregnant and have been working so hard for days. Your body can't bear it anymore. You are already weak. If this happens again, you won't be able to keep the baby."
Dugu Han didn't react at all. After a long while, she emphasized, "Say it again? What do you mean?"
"You are pregnant, and there is a baby in your belly, already as big as a mouse. If you continue to work so hard, you will have a miscarriage."
Instantly, Dugu Han was struck by lightning, and she asked, "Whose?"
Dong Niang stopped peeling the orange and looked at her in astonishment: "Oh, you're asking me?"
