Your Majesty said that my life is worthless, so why are you crying when I increase my troops?

Hanyang City, County Government Office.

"Mr. Sun, you must make the decision for me."

"A full 100,000 kilograms of grain were completely looted, and the more than 300 people in the grain transport team are nowhere to be found."

"If we don't catch the murderer, our Huang's Grain Store will lose everything this month!"

Huang Renji sat on a chair, crying and sobbing loudly.

Sun Wenju frowned, looked at the old man with some disdain, and said lightly: "Shopkeeper Huang, don't cry so quickly. Tell me what's going on slowly."

"I've been listening for a long time but still don't understand. Who stole your food?"

As soon as Sun Wenju finished speaking, Huang Renji slapped his thigh and said through gritted teeth: "It must be that Xia Mingyuan!"

"That bastard wanted to escort some food for me and asked for three thousand taels. I thought his request was too high, so I flatly refused."

"Now it seems that this guy must have been holding a grudge. Seeing that he couldn't earn any money from me, he secretly robbed the grain from Huang's Grain Store."

"Master Sun, the grain store has to pay its share to the county government every month. You can't just ignore something like this. Without the grain transport team, I'm afraid the entire Huangji Grain Store will have to close down!

Hearing this, Sun Wenju frowned.

He didn't care about the grain being robbed, but if Huang's Grain Store went out of business, wouldn't the 5,000 taels of money he collected every month be wasted?

Since it concerned his own interests, Sun Wenju finally felt less perfunctory.

He was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Manager Huang, don't be anxious. You said that the grain was stolen by Xia Mingyuan. Do you have any evidence?"

"This……"

Huang Renji's expression changed slightly. "Mr. Sun, this is as obvious as lice on a bald head. What evidence do you need?"

"Besides, the entire grain transport team disappeared completely, without even a single survivor. It goes without saying that it must have been Xia Mingyuan who did it! He wanted to destroy my grain transport team and make some money from transporting the grain."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Sun Wenju coughed and shook his head. "Manager Huang, these are just your speculations. If we use this to accuse Xia Mingyuan, he is from the Princess's Mansion after all, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to bring him down."

"You also know that my father has repeatedly told me these past few days that I will never be allowed to confront him head-on. For the sake of those thousands of taels of silver every month, this young master can't afford it."

As he spoke, Sun Wenju winked at Huang Renji with an expression that said, "You know what I mean."

The corners of Huang Renji's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart.

This damn Sun Wenju, he usually asks for a lot of money, but now that he has encountered trouble, he actually becomes a coward!

If there was evidence, why would we need a second-generation rich kid like you?

"Oh, Mr. Sun, look at my memory. How could I have forgotten this?"

Although he cursed in his heart, Huang Renji did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He quickly stood up and waved to the servants outside the door.

Soon, the servants carried two boxes into the main hall.

Huang Renji opened the lid and found two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry inside, so bright that it was dazzling.

When Sun Wenju saw the two boxes of treasure, his eyes widened and he swallowed subconsciously.

These two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, if converted into silver, would be worth at least seven or eight thousand taels!

"Master Sun, this is the dividend our Huangji Grain Store gave you this year. It's a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

"Xia Mingyuan is really going too far. If the grain store wants to continue making money, I'm afraid we must get rid of this scourge."

"Look..."

Huang Renji nodded and bowed, his eyes full of flattery.

"Hey, Manager Huang, why are you doing this? This is not what I meant..."

Sun Wenju winked at his men, asking them to accept the silver. He sighed and said, "Even without this silver, if Xia Mingyuan dared to do such a thing in broad daylight, I would not let him go!"

"But if I want to deal with this guy, I'm afraid I'll have to find another excuse..."

"As for how to operate it, I still need to think about it!"

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"Sir, something big has happened!"

Butler Liu Da ran in hurriedly with a panicked look on his face.

Sun Wenju was slightly startled, his face displeased. "If you have anything to say, just speak slowly. The sky isn't falling yet. Why are you so flustered?"

Liu Daming was sweating profusely with anxiety. "Sir, Changlefang was taken away by Xia Mingyuan and his men. Jin Daya and his thugs were killed and their bodies were thrown into a mass grave."

"What did you say?"

Sun Wenju jumped up from his chair and his voice suddenly rose.

"Xia Mingyuan robbed Changlefang?"

"That's right, sir. Changlefang has now been occupied by his people, and they have just announced that Changlefang will no longer engage in money lending business in the future."

"boom!"

The tea bowl in his hand fell heavily to the ground and broke into pieces.

Sun Wenju gnashed his teeth, his face grim, "Xia Mingyuan is really going too far!"

"Robbery of food is one thing, but he actually dared to rob my gambling house?"

"Does he really think that I, Sun Wenju, am a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated?"

No wonder Sun Wenju was so furious.

Changlefang is different from Huang Renji's grain store, and Jin Daya is a puppet that Sun Wenju actually fostered in Hanyang to make money.

This matter was done in an extremely secretive manner. Jin Daya himself didn't even know that the master behind the scenes was Sun Wenju, but he had already made a fortune for himself.

The share that Changlefang has to hand over every month is a full 20,000 taels!

Now that it has been snatched away by Xia Mingyuan, it will be impossible to get this money back in the future.

Thinking of this, Sun Wenju's face became so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.

"Come here, have everyone bring their weapons and follow me to the Princess's Mansion!"

"I want to see what Xia Mingyuan is going to do!"

After saying this, Sun Wenju could no longer hold back and rushed out of the county government office in a rage and headed straight for the princess's mansion.

"Xia Mingyuan, get out here!"

When he arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion, Sun Wenju rushed in without saying a word.

Four or five Qilin guards at the door suddenly drew their swords and glared at Sun Wenju with unfriendly eyes.

"Anyone who dares to trespass into the princess's residence will be killed without mercy!"

Sun Wenju was frightened by the ferocious-looking Qilin Guards. He subconsciously took a few steps back and suddenly became furious.

"You are blind, don't you see who I am?"

"I'm the son of a county magistrate. How dare you, a few guard dogs, stop me? Tell Xia Mingyuan to get out here!"

Swish!

Before he could finish his words, a long knife was suddenly placed at his neck.

Sun Wenju's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at the Qilin Guard in front of him in amazement.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Qilin Guard Zhang Weiwu had a cold expression on his face and glared at Sun Wenju fiercely.

"This is my last warning to you. If you dare to disrespect the Commander-in-Chief again, I will kill you right now!"
