reborn princess

Chapter 523 Sui Shi Was Arrested
"Pass my order to send [-] elite soldiers into the city to help put out the fire, maintain law and order, and appease the emotions of businesses and people. At the same time, we must also prevent local ruffians from taking the opportunity to cause trouble. If there are looters who take advantage of the fire, kill them!" Baili Xiao said, He took out a golden command arrow from his pocket and threw it over.

The soldier took the command arrow, turned around and left without hesitation.

Bailichen was very satisfied with his handling, and immediately sneered, "After such a big thing happened, our lord guard is calm and hasn't come yet."

"It doesn't matter if you don't come, we can send someone to invite you!" Baili Xiao also sneered. "Brother Hui, you go and invite Lord Guard here! I have come back from outside the city, why doesn't our Guard Wen even show his face?"

Bai Lihui agreed, then turned around and went to the Garrison Mansion to invite Wen Yong.

Bai Lichen looked up at a guard, and said in a sad voice, "Go and see how many brothers have died. They all died of poisoning. The corpses cannot be kept. They must be cremated. Let the doctor treat the surviving ones. It is best to detoxify them." If you can’t cure the poison, treat the wound first.”

"Yes!" The guard turned and left.

Bai Lichen then turned his attention to Shen Luo again, "This matter can't be left alone, Mr. Shen, your news network will be useful now!"

Shen Luo raised her eyes, glanced at him faintly, and the corners of her lips curled into a hint of sarcasm, "How did Taifu Baili know that I have a news website?"

Bai Lichen smiled silently, "Ming people don't do secret things, I know what Mr. Shen is doing, and I know what you want to do."

Shen Luo's chest trembled, and he let out a low laugh, "Teacher Baili's words are really interesting. I am so lucky to be favored by Grand Tutor Baili!"

At this moment, a person suddenly broke in from the outside. The person was wearing a light blue suit, which was covered with blood at this time. He held a sword in his right hand, as if he had crawled out of the hell of the pool of blood. As if killing a god, there was a strong bloody smell all over his body.

The person who came was none other than one of the guards that Shen Luo gave to Shen Weilan, a man named Xiao Gu.

Shen Luo stood up abruptly, his expression was completely different from the relaxed expression just now, and he asked nervously, "What happened?"

Xiao Gu said out of breath, "The horse thief just ransacked the village!"

Hearing this, Shen Luo frowned tightly. Xiao Gu was his adopted son. He had watched Xiao Gu grow up since he was a child. Seeing him like this, he knew that he hadn't finished speaking, so he asked, "Then?"

Xiao Gu lowered his head with shame on his face, "This subordinate is incompetent, Madam was snatched away by horse thieves!"

"What?" Shen Luo's eyes widened in disbelief, and then he scolded severely. "What do you eat? So many people can't protect a woman!"

Xiao Gu didn't defend himself either, and knelt down to him with a "plop", "My brother and Wu Ming and the others chased after him, and the whole village was destroyed. They robbed things and their wife, set fire to them and left. gone."

Shen Luo walked out without saying a word, Bailichen moved and stopped him, "Lord Shen, don't be impulsive!"

"Go away!" Shen Luo didn't say a word, and made a move directly, forcing Bailichen back with one move, and then flew away from the county office.

"Father..." Xiao Gu couldn't help feeling anxious when he saw Shen Luo leaving just like that, and wanted to chase him out, but Bailichen stopped him.

"Your eldest lady is back, you have to explain the matter to her."

When Xiao Gu heard that Shen Weilan had returned, he couldn't help being a little surprised, "Really? My eldest lady is really back?"

Bailichen nodded, "It's in the kitchen! Go find her!"

"Okay!" Although Xiao Gu really wanted to go after Shen Luo right away, but considering that he should indeed tell Shen Weilan about his wife's news, he headed towards the kitchen.

He had never been to the county government office before, but he could find the direction of the kitchen when he asked anyone.

Seeing Xiao Gu's body covered in blood, Shen Weilan's heart skipped a beat, as if a string had been broken, and an ominous premonition rushed to her heart.

"Did something happen to my mother?" She asked nervously.

The expression on Xiaogu's face was a little ashamed, and he took out a blood-stained letter from his arms and handed it over, "Madam was taken away by a horse thief! This is a blackmail letter!"

Shen Weilan didn't care about the blood on it, took out the letter from inside, opened it, rolled her eyes, and passed out.

"Lan'er..." Xuan Chen just grabbed the medicine and came back, caught her falling body in time, pinched her hips hard, and then asked. "What happened?"

Xiao Gu replied with a dejected expression: "Madam was taken away by a horse thief. The horse thief wanted 200 million taels of gold as a ransom, and sent it to Mihun Mountain before June [-], otherwise the ticket will be torn up!"

Xuan Chen was also surprised, "Does Master know?"

Xiao Gu nodded, "Master knows, but he left before I showed him the letter!"

Shen Weilan wakes up faintly, looking at Xuan Chen blankly, but her voice is extremely firm, "I don't care whoever catches my mother, I will kill his whole family!"

In her previous life, she was unable to protect her mother, which caused her mother to be hurt again and again. In this life, she swore to protect her mother from being hurt again.

"Okay! I will help you! But you have to promise me, take care of yourself!" Xuan Chen said with concern.

Shen Weilan pushed him away, stumbled out, "I want to go home!"

Xuan Chen asked Xiao Gu again, "Is Wang Tingchen still alive?"

Xiao Gu shook his head, "I don't know, I went to the city to find my adoptive father after the accident."

Xuan Chen hurriedly stuffed the medicine bag in his hand to Xiaogu, "You boil the medicine, tell them, and distribute it to all the poisoned people. If Wang Tingchen is still alive, he will help everyone detoxify. If he is not here, just take it The dregs of the medicine go to the pharmacy to grab the medicine, and the medicine will take at least half a month to clear away the remaining poison!"

After instructing Xiao Gu, he ran out after Shen Weilan.

Shen Weilan left the county government office and ran all the way in the direction of Chenjiazhuang, a deep sadness flashed across her small face.

If it was 200 million taels of silver, she would be able to take it out. Before that, she just got 300 million taels of silver from Zhong Shijie, the defenseman of Yunshan County.

She doesn't care about money so much, she only cares about her mother.

If her mother could be exchanged for money, she wouldn't even frown.

But what the other party wanted was 200 million taels of gold, and she had nowhere to find it.

Two million taels of gold is equivalent to more than 200 catties. No matter how much a carriage can pull, it can only carry two to three thousand catties at most. To transport this batch of gold alone, more than 3000 carriages have to be dispatched.

For her, this is simply impossible!

……

At the county government office, Bai Lihui walked into the lobby from the outside, "Father, Fourth Uncle, the lord guard is ill, and the illness is serious, he can't even get up on the kang, so he can't come."

Baili Xiao shook his shoulders and smiled, and said tauntingly: "It's really time for the guard to be sick!"

Bai Lichen said expressionlessly: "If that's the case, then ignore him, big brother, you prepare 500 people for Brother Hui, and help him count the losses in the city. This is because the government didn't take precautions. The government will pay compensation."

Baili Xiao frowned slightly when she heard the words, "Fourth brother, how can the Yamen have so much money?"

"There is a 'Jubao Firm'!" Bailichen said without changing his face. The 'Jubao Firm' is the property of the Prince of Changping County, and Bailiyao, the Princess of Changping County, is his own sister. Only with his seal can he be sold across the country. It is not difficult to solve the problem of compensation by mobilizing the funds of "Jubao Commercial Bank" at will.

As long as he can protect the crown prince and complete the magistrate, it doesn't matter if he spends some money.

……

Because of what happened today, all gates of the city will be strictly checked, and all entrances and exits must show directions.

Although Shen Weilan was very anxious, she didn't want to rush around, so she had to wait behind the long line out of the city for inspection. At this moment, she suddenly heard a suspicious voice behind her.

"Miss, the son of the world?"

After she turned around, she realized that it was Zhu Laosi who was driving the family's carriage and was lining up not far behind her.

Before she entered the mountain, she bought two more families. One was Zhu Laosi, and the other was Sun Baolai, who helped the family with chores and delivered letters.

Zhu Lao Si saw clearly that it was the two of them. He couldn't help being both surprised and happy, and turned to the carriage and said, "It's the eldest lady and the son, they're back!"

The crystal curtain on the car was lifted immediately, and Chen Xiaofu and Li Ying jumped out of the car one after another.

"Sister Lan'er, son..." Chen Xiaofu hurried over and saluted the two of them, his face was a little pale, it was obvious that the fire in the city had frightened her a lot.

Li Ying came over and asked, "Didn't you two go into the mountain? Why did you come back? Did something happen?"

Shen Weilan was about to tell about her mother's kidnapping, but Xuan Chen stopped her and said, "Let's get in the car first, let's talk in the car."

Everyone also felt that there were so many people here that it was inconvenient to talk, so they got into the carriage one after another.

After sitting in the car, Xuan Chen asked, "Why did you enter the city today?"

Li Ying looked shocked, "You were not at home, so Xiaofu went to the embroidery village to help. Who knew that there was such a big fire in the city, and the shop also burned down. The people who set the fire are so wicked, they used kerosene to rescue There is no way to save it. I asked Huo Niang to stay and deal with the business in the shop, and send Xiaofu home first, so that I can send someone into the mountain to inform you, but I didn't expect such a coincidence that you came back."

Xuan Chen also secretly rejoiced in his heart, if they stayed at home, they didn't know what would happen.

Then, he lowered his voice, "I have something to tell you, you have to be mentally prepared now, don't cry or shout later, otherwise, I don't mind beating you unconscious."

Seeing that he said so seriously, several people immediately showed serious expressions.

Xuan Chen said in a low voice: "Chenjiazhuang was ransacked by horse thieves just now, and Lan'er's mother was captured by horse thieves..."
