The road to immortality for a hundred generations

Chapter 69 Big Seizure

On the fifth day of May in the third year of the Wei Dynasty (340 AD), large numbers of officers and soldiers carried sealing orders and sealed various shops.

Ordinary seizures cannot cause panic, but the wide scope of this seizure is enough to scare anyone.

Inn, restaurant, medical shop, drug store, brothel, brothel, grain shop, cloth shop, blacksmith shop, escort agency
You must know that many of these are large-scale chain stores.

The involvement behind it was deep enough to radiate to the entire court.

There are no exceptions, even for top powers with innate authority or wealthy businessmen with the backing of important officials in the imperial court.

Only some small merchants and hawkers, businesses with a relatively small scale, escaped this disaster.

"Big escort! Big escort! It's not good, it's not good! Many of our shops have been closed down!"

Bishui Escort Agency, a middle-aged man hurriedly broke into the backyard of Bishui Escort Agency.

"Seized?! Tell me carefully what's going on!"

Wang Jinyong's eyes widened and he pulled the other person in front of him.

"Early this morning, officers and soldiers who came from unknown sources broke into the grain store of our Bishui Escort Bureau with a sealing order. They said that we were colluding with the Demon Cult and wanted to seal it."

The middle-aged man said quickly, "When I saw something was wrong, I slipped out of the back door. On the way, I discovered that not only our grain store, but also cloth shops, brothels, etc., had officers and soldiers coming to seize them. "

"Collude with the Demon Cult?"

Hearing this, Wang Jinyong's face suddenly became uncertain.

He was sure that he had absolutely none, but it was hard to say whether his elder brother had.

Moreover, it is possible that they offended some noble person, and then the government found an excuse at random in order to seize them.

"Defender, I have something to say, and it's not just about saying it right or wrong."

The middle-aged man hesitated and spoke.

"What? Speak!"

Wang Jinyong instantly narrowed his eyes and stared at him.

If the eldest brother really colluded with the Demonic Cult behind his back and was discovered by the government, then should he kill the man in front of him with one palm, pack his bags and run away?

"Is such that,"

The middle-aged man was stared at by Wang Jinyong. He swallowed and stuttered, "Big, big escort, on the way here, I discovered that not only the stores under our Bishui Escort Bureau were sealed, but also other stores." It seems that the shops under the influence have also been sealed off, but I left in a hurry and was afraid of being recognized by the government, so I kept my head down, so I can't confirm it."

"It's not just us? Is this matter so deeply involved? Why didn't eldest brother tell me?"

Wang Jinyong subconsciously tightened the collar in his hand.

"Ahem, cough, dart head, it's too tight. You pulled it too tight."

The middle-aged man coughed and said with a very uncomfortable expression on his face.

"Okay, I know about this. You can go and inquire about it first."

Wang Jinyong let go of the other party and said, "Be careful, don't be discovered by the officials."

"I understand, head escort."

The middle-aged man rubbed his throat, turned around and left in a hurry.

Watching the other party's figure walking further and further away, Wang Jinyong clenched and unclenched his fists, turned around one last time, got into the room and started packing his luggage.

If it is true that the eldest brother is colluding with the Demon Sect, then it will probably be against the Yi tribe.

It's better to pack your luggage first, find a place to hide from the limelight for a few days, and then check the situation.

"boom!"

Only a dozen breaths had passed. Wang Jinyong had just finished cleaning up and was about to go out. Suddenly, the backyard door was kicked open.

"Where is Wang Jinyong?"

"This is your Excellency?"

Wang Jinyong, who heard the commotion, walked out of the room carrying the package and looked at the group of officers and soldiers at the door.

"Wang Jinshui, the chief bodyguard of Bishui Escort Bureau, is suspected of colluding with the Demon Cult. All his stores should be closed down pending investigation. This is a sealing order. Let's take a look."

The leading officer and soldier held up a piece of paper with the official seal and faced Wang Jinyong.

Since the person in front of him was a genius, he didn't dare to directly slap the hat on him. He only said that he was suspicious to prevent the other party from jumping over the wall.

Wang Jinyong glanced at the seizure order in the other party's hand from a distance. The bright red official seal was very conspicuous. "Okay, you can investigate. I won't accompany you if I have something else to do."

Wang Jinyong responded casually, and then his innate true energy surged instantly in his body. He stepped on the courtyard wall and disappeared after a few jumps.

"Captain, why didn't you stop him?"

the adjutant asked suspiciously.

"That's Xiantian, are you going to stop it?"

The captain glanced at him.

"But, haven't we made preparations in advance? With Li Xiantian here, several first-class masters, and thirty strong archers, it's not enough."

The adjutant became even more confused.

Of course he knew that the other party was Xiantian, but if he just let him go, wouldn't it be in vain?

"The rabbit bites people when it's anxious, and you and I are not gifted, so we don't need to take the credit."

The captain waved his hand, "Don't delay, seize it quickly and see if you can search for anything valuable. Wang Jinyong will definitely not be able to take away many good things in such a short time."

When I mention that preparations are just to prevent the other party from being defeated, I have no countermeasures. It does not mean that I really want to fight with the opponent.

Moreover, he has a higher official position and knows some inside information.

As long as we can stay safe and sound under this big blockade until the end, we will be able to reap the benefits.

There is really no need to risk one's life just to win over a mere talent.

Not counting the royal family, there are about seven or eight resident innates in the imperial city. Taking into account some innates who come and go, there are often nearly a dozen innates.

However, about ten of these innates have already died in the Xingyue Palace, and those who died were still at the peak of their high-end combat power in the later period.

The remaining digital innates, under the leadership of the officers, soldiers and innates, could not make any trouble at all.

Due to the foresight of the royal family, officers and soldiers were mobilized in advance and Xiantian was in charge, and so many forces were sealed off in just one day.

Some smart people have discovered that the forces seized by the officials were all those who went to the Grandmaster's Banquet.

To be able to participate in the Grandmaster's Banquet, at least one must be a medium-sized force with a top-notch warrior in charge (the small and medium-sized forces in the previous article do not refer to medium-sized and small-sized forces, but to forces that barely reach medium-sized forces).

In other words, on this day, all medium-sized and above forces in the entire imperial city were sealed off.

However, although this matter sounds big, it is already so big that it is scary.

But in fact, it didn't have much impact at all.

For ordinary people, practicing martial arts to the second level is already the top.

Therefore, you are a powerful force who confiscates my family and exterminates my clan. What do you care about me?

Especially since the seizure was carried out under the banner of colluding with the Demon Cult, it was rare that the Yi tribe was not included.

Some guards, servants and even slaves will not be implicated.

Even the family members were not sentenced to death. They were just male laborers and the females were sold into brothels.

For people who are usually bullied, they will even celebrate with singing, dancing and drinking.

As for the seizure without evidence, just relying on a banner of colluding with the devil's sect, is it too much?

Sorry, there is no evidence of collusion with the Demon Cult for the time being, but as a medium to large force, who wouldn't prepare some armored stomachs or even strong crossbows?

According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, except for relatives of the emperor, whether they are wealthy businessmen or officials, they are not allowed to have more than three sets of armor and crossbows at home.

Three or more paintings will be fined [-] taels of silver, and seven or more paintings will be punished with death.

More than twenty pairs, from the Yi tribe.

With evidence in hand, officials can handle matters more smoothly.

Therefore, this great seizure set off a storm among the upper class, which eventually spread to other counties and cities, and even the entire Wei Dynasty.

But overall, it didn't cause much commotion.

In addition, the droughts and floods in recent years have basically ended, and the major forces in other counties and cities have also restrained a lot because of the imperial city seizure incident.

For ordinary people, small businessmen and hawkers, and even ordinary warriors, life seems to be going more smoothly.
