A civil war was about to break out in King's City, and a storm was brewing.
The number one prostitute in King's City had brought a dozen prostitutes to the palace to seek an audience with the Regent Duke?
No wonder Zhuang Zhixuan had added, "Do you want to throw them out?"
Moreover, what did the gold reserves of King's Gold House have to do with a group of prostitutes? This was a major event for the kingdom!
Zhuang Zhixuan was not the only one who looked displeased. Even the eunuchs and imperial guards outside looked displeased.
At this moment, Yi Manman, once the number one socialite in King's City, was full of anxiety!
Last night, someone had instigated all the prostitutes in King's City to run on King's Gold House. Yi Manman instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Firstly, she was also worried that the gold coin reserves of King City's Gold Inn would really disappear without a trace. If that happened, countless sisters' lifetime savings would be gone. It would be fine if the young and beautiful ones were fine, but many of the older and less attractive ones would probably hang themselves.
Secondly, she used to be Søren's confidante. Instinctively, she was worried about Søren.
That was why she volunteered last night and agreed to bring a dozen brothel girls as representatives to visit Sauron.
But this morning, when Yi Manman brought a dozen prostitutes to the palace, she saw the dense number of guards and her legs turned to jelly.
Moreover, when they were a few hundred meters away from the palace, they were immediately stopped.
Originally, Yi Manman knew that her status and Søren's were worlds apart. At this moment, she felt that her idea last night was ridiculous.
Who was she? She actually wanted to be received by the future Regent? She really didn't know her place.
Of course, since she was already here, there was no way she would back down.
But just as she said that she wanted to see the Regent Duke Søren, the eunuchs and guards outside the palace turned pale. Some even drew their swords to arrest her.
The Regent Duke is the king of the kingdom. How can you lowly prostitutes meet him?
Yi Manman was shocked, she quickly said: "I am very familiar with Duke Søren, I was once his confidante!"
Now, the imperial guards and eunuchs did not dare to act recklessly. After all, they knew the Regent Duke's romantic history. If the woman in front of them was really the Duke's woman, it would be difficult for them to arrest her.
Therefore, a eunuch hurriedly went to report to his superior, who then reported to Zhuang Zhixuan.
Finally, Zhuang Zhixuan reported to Søren!
Søren had also heard that brothel girls accounted for a large portion of King City's Gold Bank's savings.
Therefore, even though he was very busy at the moment, Søren still decided to allocate ten minutes to Yi Manman.
…
In a side hall, Yi Manman brought a dozen brothel girls to meet Søren.
Walking in the palace, her heart was beating wildly. She felt as if she could not breathe.
The other brothel girls were even worse. These girls had seen a lot of the world. They had seen countless high officials and nobles, and they often visited the rich and powerful families.
As for this palace, other than being solemn and serene, it didn't seem very luxurious. However, they still felt a supreme aura. They tiptoed as they walked, not daring to make a sound.
"Commoner Yi Manman greets the Regent Duke!" Yi Manman knelt down and kowtowed. The dozen brothel girls behind her also knelt down.
Yi Manman was already the number one socialite in King City a few years ago.
And she was one of the rare girls who sold her skills but not her body. She had been with the prodigal Søren for a few years and was his lover.
Of course, at that time, the prodigal Søren did not have much money. Therefore, not only did Yi Manman not earn money by following him, she even had to subsidize him.
And when Lan Ling became Søren, he owed the King City Gold 3900 gold coins. Therefore, he specially asked Yi Manman for help. She did not hesitate to take out more than half of her savings.
Moreover, she was born into a noble family. Her father was once a high-ranking warrior lord. At the highest level, he was even the deputy commander of the city guards of a county city.
And she was very talented in martial arts. If there were no accidents, she would very likely become the only female dragon warrior in her family.
Unfortunately, her family served the Crown Prince of Lan Ling's faction. In the few years after the King ascended to the throne, he continuously eliminated dissidents. Her family was also affected. She was still a little girl and was reduced to a brothel in King City.
She was a very chivalrous girl.
And after Søren became rich, Yi Manman once had the thought of seeking refuge with Søren.
But every time this thought came up, she immediately gave up and felt ashamed.
When she heard that Søren was going to marry Princess Jung Yeon, she did not even have the courage to visit Søren.
Therefore, after Søren became the ruler of King City, she did not come to visit him even once. She probably felt that she did not even have the right to look up to Søren. Therefore, she simply sat quietly in a corner and watched Søren shine.
If it was not for the special circumstances, she probably would never have come to see Søren.
Søren stood high up on the steps and looked at Yi Manman who was kneeling on the ground. He did not move or speak.
At that moment, Yi Manman felt even more uneasy. She lowered her body even more and her forehead was pressed against the ground.
But this way, her plump and round buttocks were even more erect. The curve of her waist and buttocks were even more alluring.
Søren walked up and frivolously slapped her buttocks. He said, "Man Man, I have been in King City for so long and you have not come to see me. I can't possibly go to the Ascension Pavilion to find you. As a regent duke, it would not look good for me to go to a brothel. "
Yi Manman felt her buttocks go numb. Hearing Søren's familiar and charming frivolous tone, she could not believe her ears. She raised her head and looked at Søren.
Søren looked around the side hall. Other than Zhuang Zhixuan, a few eunuchs and maids, there was no one else.
Immediately, he waved his hand and said, "Other than Zhuang Zhixuan, everyone get out."
"Yes!" The eunuchs and maids left the hall.
Søren's hands grabbed Yi Manman's buttocks naughtily. He said, "I haven't seen you for a few years and you are still so firm? You really listen to me and practice swordsmanship every day? "
Three years ago, Søren painted Yi Manman. He painted a chivalrous woman, which was how Yi Manman saw herself.
Then he jokingly told her not to give up swordsmanship.
So, Yi Manman instinctively practiced swordsmanship every day. So in these three years, although she was responsible for the Art Committee and sat for a long time, her body was still firm and hot.
Her body was very plump, but she did not feel fat at all. She looked very firm and hot.
Yi Manman nodded blankly.
Søren pulled her up and sat down first. Then he pulled Yi Manman's buttocks to sit on his lap. Both of his hands grabbed her hot and sexy body.
This scene was exactly the same as a few years ago. At that time, Søren was the king of the brothel. He was very unrestrained in the brothel.
But seeing this scene of Søren, the women in the brothel immediately let go of the fear in their hearts. They felt that Søren was still so kind to them.
"Man Man, why don't you come to the Princess Mansion to see me?" Søren said, "My wife Jung Yeon is very generous. She won't be angry if my former lover comes to see me."
"I am a lowly concubine, how could I dare to blaspheme the Duke?" Yi Manman said.
"It's not easy for me to become rich. If you don't come to see me, I won't be able to show off in front of my friends. It's so uncomfortable." Søren teased. Then he skillfully put his hand into Yi Manman's underwear.
Yi Manman's delicate body softened. She glanced at Søren and said, "Even if you are the Regent Duke, you are still so annoying."
Søren kissed her plump lips and said, "Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
Yi Manman sternly said, "Last night, there was a rumor that the King's Gold Bank's gold reserve disappeared. They wanted to instigate all the women in the brothel to go to the King's Gold Bank to withdraw money. They tried to create a bank run. I think this is a big deal. First, I used the Art Committee's power to suppress this wave. So I came to see you this morning. Now that I think about it, I really don't know how high the sky is."
Søren couldn't help but be startled. He didn't expect that Yin Yuan would try to burn the women in the brothel first.
Imagine, if there were thousands of women in the brothel going to the King's Gold Bank to withdraw money this morning, what kind of wave would it cause?
Fortunately, the brothel was his territory. Yin Yuan controlled the brothel owners, but these women were still on the same side as Søren.
Then, Søren saw a huge opportunity.
Since the Yin Yuan Society wanted to burn the first fire of the crisis on the brothel girls, then Soran would use these girls to completely eliminate the crisis in the bud.
Although Søren had found the gold reserve, they had all melted into a mountain of gold and a sea of silver. It would take a long time to remake them into gold and silver coins.
Once the bank run was stirred up, there would still be huge trouble, or even a crisis. Because in a short period of time, Søren couldn't cast a large amount of gold and silver into coins.
At this moment, Søren was extremely glad that these women in the brothel were still thinking about him after so many years, and didn't let the bank run burn out.
Søren kissed Yi Manman's cheek and said, "You're indeed my lover, after all these years, you're still on the same side as me."
Yi Manman said uneasily, "Søren, I'm only temporarily suppressing this wave. If the gold reserve of King's Gold Bank really disappears, the consequences will be unimaginable. I don't know how many older sisters will hang themselves or jump into the lake to commit suicide. "
Søren nodded and said, "I know, this money is their lives! Not only the women in the brothel, but also the commoners who run small businesses and those honest soldiers. They are the main force of King's Gold Bank's savings. The money stored in King's Gold Bank is their lifetime savings, once it's gone, they will really seek death. "
Yi Manman hurriedly nodded.
Søren said, "That's why I originally planned to confiscate the properties of the nobles and use the gold to make up for the losses of these commoners. Moreover, I also transported several hundred thousand gold coins from Sky Water City into King's Gold Bank, I must not let these people die."
Yi Manman's expression changed, "In other words, the gold reserve of King's Gold Bank has really disappeared? Not a rumor? "
As soon as he said this, the beautiful faces of the women in the brothel turned pale.
Søren said, "It used to disappear, Yin Yuan tried to make the gold reserve disappear without a trace, forcing me into a dead end. But this morning, I found the gold reserve, guess where it is? "
"Found it?" Yi Manman, who was originally in despair, was once again pulled from hell to heaven, she asked in surprise, "Where is it?"
Søren said, "They melted all the gold and silver and poured them into the ground, no less than ten million jin of gold and silver were poured into the treasury, I dug three feet deep and finally found it."
"Really?" Yi Manman said in disbelief.
"Really," Søren pointed at Zhuang Zhixuan behind him, "Do you see that woman?"
Yi Manman turned around and saw the fiery and sexy, like a female leopard, Zhuang Zhixuan, full of unparalleled charm.
"She was the one who dug out this gold mountain and silver sea." Søren said, "After I found it, I fought with her on the gold ground for three hundred rounds."
Hearing this, Zhuang Zhixuan blushed, she glared at Søren.
It was really strange, when Søren said he dug out the gold mountain and silver sea, these brothel girls were still skeptical, but when Søren said he fought with her on the gold ground for three hundred rounds, they felt that Søren's words were very credible.
This was the charm of stories.
Even in the modern society, whether it was the Nobel Prize selection or the presidential election, people liked to tell stories.
Because stories could move people's hearts, full of tricks.
Søren stood up, pulled Yi Manman to the brothel girls, and said, "Man Man, how about this? I'll ask someone to take you and these girls to visit the treasury of Gold Ship's headquarters in King City, I'll let you see what gold mountain and silver sea is. What do you think? "
"Really?" Yi Manman's beautiful eyes were wide open.
The other brothel girls also showed disbelief in their eyes.
"Really, a gold mountain and silver sea of 19 million kilograms, it's rare to see it in a lifetime." Søren instigated, "Who asked you to be so loyal to me, I'll use public power for private purposes, I'll get someone to take you there to broaden your horizons."
"That's great, that's great …" Instantly, the girls' eyes became misty, and they looked at Sauron in a daze.
God, this Duke Regent is too charming, he's still so romantic even after becoming the ruler of a country.
And Søren, of course, wanted to use these girls' mouths to spread the news that the treasury was safe and sound.
Brothels were always the center of public opinion in King City, once these girls saw the gold mountain and silver sea in King City's treasury, it was guaranteed that the news would spread throughout King City before nightfall.
This way, all the brothel girls would not run on money. If they didn't run on money, their customers wouldn't run on them either.
Therefore, even if someone went to King City's Gold Ship to withdraw money, it wouldn't cause a run on them.
Most of the time, the economy was the people's heart!
At this time, these girls suddenly forgot about their reservations and fear, they all threw flirtatious glances at Søren.
"I'll immediately arrange for 2000 people to protect you on your way to King City's Gold Ship to enjoy the scenery." Søren smiled.
Yi Manman clearly knew that Søren was reassuring them, but she still enjoyed it, she felt like her heart was melting, she was completely bewitched.
Yi Manman looked at Søren with infatuation, she said softly, "When we return, I know what to do, I'll definitely help you reassure them, there won't be a run on them."
Søren kissed her red lips, patted her round and plump butt, and said, "Go!"
Half of Yi Manman's delicate body was numb, her legs felt like they were walking on clouds.
After leaving the palace, under the protection of 2000 Imperial Guards, Yi Manman led the brothel girls to the headquarters of King City's Gold Ship to visit the rumored missing gold reserves.
… …
After the girls left, Zhuang Zhixuan rolled her eyes at Søren and said, "You're really shameless, using these girls' infatuation to help you do things, you really sold them, they still have to help you count the money."
Søren looked at her small mouth, and said seriously, "You're so eloquent now, why were you so clumsy just now? I'm hurting from the scratches. "
When this pervert said this, Zhuang Zhixuan instantly blushed, she felt her whole body go numb.
This charming bastard. Sometimes, he could easily make you fall for him with just a single sentence. You would go through fire and water for him.
Søren continued to smile, "If I sell you, will you help me count the money?"
Zhuang Zhixuan's voice trembled, and she said softly, "Count!"
After making Zhuang Zhixuan's legs tremble, Søren sat on his seat, wrote the last decree, and stamped the king's imperial seal.
"Come," Søren said.
The eunuch Gao Yin entered.
"Gao Weng, arrest the people on this list." Søren said, "Remember, don't bring too many soldiers, before arresting them, read out their crimes in public, the exact amount of gold they embezzled, the time, and the date! In short, let everyone see that we're not raiding the property, but capturing a few greedy kingdoms. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Gao Yin bowed, then went forward to receive the new decree, a total of ten!
These ten people were super greedy, corrupted by the Yin Yuan Association, every sum of money was recorded clearly in the account book of the finance minister, Soff.
The money obtained from raiding the property of these ten people would be enough to deal with the following small-scale bank runs, and it would also be enough to maintain the Raging Wave Kingdom's turnover for the next few months.
… …
Søren had successfully found the gold reserves that had disappeared, which was a huge nightmare for the Hidden Island and Fengdu Holy Cathedral.
With the eleven million gold reserves as a foundation, and by raiding the greedy in King City according to Soff's account book, the gold would be enough to maintain the kingdom's operations, and to make up for the deficit that Zhi Li had embezzled.
As for the debt owed to the Yin Yuan Association, they had completely fallen out, so there was no hope that Søren would be able to pay it back.
If Fang Qingyi dared to ask for the debt, Søren would definitely ask him to go to Zhi Li.
Some debts could not be reneged, once they were reneged, the kingdom would be in chaos, and countless people would commit suicide.
And some debts must be reneged, only a fool would pay them back.
The key was that after finding the gold reserves, Søren would not raid the properties of the nobles in King City.
As long as Søren did not raid their properties, it was guaranteed that these nobles would run to him one by one, and there would be no hope that they would rise up and rebel.
In that case, this civil war would not happen!
Once Søren successfully survived this crisis, there was no doubt that a huge purge would follow.
Søren did not dare to touch the Dragon Temple, but Søren would definitely not show any mercy to the forces of the Yin Yuan Association and uproot them.
The profit gap left by the purge of the Yin Yuan Association could be filled by the Ocean Union controlled by Søren.
Once that happened, the Hidden Island's plan to colonize the Raging Wave Kingdom would be completely ruined.
Decades of hard work and an astronomical investment of gold would all go to waste.
At that time, not only would Fang Qingyi not be able to keep his position as the young master, he would not even be able to keep his life. The brothers of the Hidden Island would definitely pounce on him and kill him.
Fang Qingshu's example was right in front of him!
At this moment, Fang Qingyi, the young master of the Hidden Island, seemed to vaguely see his own terrible end, and instantly felt extremely terrified.
No, I must not sit and wait for death, I must save myself!
Fang Qingyi's mind worked quickly, looking for his potential allies!
Soon, he thought of the commander of the city guards, Yuwen Gai!
Yes, Yuwen Gai and the generals of the city guards were also facing a disaster, and they had no way out.
The nobles in the capital could not be relied on. If Søren did not confiscate their properties, not only would these nobles not rebel, but they would also become great loyalists and protect Søren.
He had to let the city guards rebel in advance, and he had to use this opportunity to kill Søren.
If Søren did not die, the one who would die might be him, Fang Qingyi!
Making a prompt decision, Fang Qingyi immediately rushed to the secret meeting place where the city guards would descend.
In a secret corner of the capital, the rebel generals of the city guards were carrying out their final plans and arrangements for the upcoming battle, while waiting for the signal from the Yin Yuan Association and the Fengdu Holy Temple.
The location of this secret meeting was top secret. Other than the core generals of the city guards and Fang Qingyi, no one else knew!
If Søren found out, he only needed to send a few hundred experts from the Shadow Pavilion to capture them all.
…
At this time, in the residence of the commander of the city guards, a beautiful young woman was tossing and turning.
She was the daughter-in-law of the city guards' commander, Yuwen Gai, the daughter of the kingdom's viscount, Ye Feidie!
Of course, she also had another identity, which was Søren's archery tutor and old lover!
This prodigal Søren really had lovers all over the world!
At this time, Ye Feidie was in a difficult situation. She did not know if she should expose her husband and father-in-law to Søren!
