Chapter 136 Trapped
"Young Master, are you planning to waive Thomas' position?" asked the slaughterhouse. The reason why the slaughterhouse asked was because the current 'Han's financial officer is Thomas.
Duan Tao nodded and said in a deep voice: "I don't like a guy with evil intentions to sway around me!" Frowning, "The bandits' operations on the Lux Grass Prairie are too sudden! I doubt whether this Thomas is working in this!"
The slaughtered building was shocked, "If this is the case, it will be dangerous!"
Duan Tao was stunned and asked in confusion: "Lao Tu, why do you say that? We can completely put Thomas under house arrest!"
The slaughtered building and said in a deep voice: "Young Master, the security troops in the Iron City are all Thomas's confidants!"
"Young Master, the iron city is full of Thomas's confidants!"
Duan Tao was shocked, "We must immediately replace the defenders of the Iron City! By the way, Lao Tu, how many troops are there?"
Tu Lu said: "Ten 5,000 people have been recruited! Seeing that the conditions are so good, the people are very enthusiastic about joining the army!"
Duan Tao couldn't help feeling a little relieved. Before this, he was really worried that the people in the territory would not buy his lord's account.
"But young master, these recruited new troops have not had time to train!" said Tu Lu.
Duan Tao frowned and said, "There is no time for them to train now! Let them hone their skills in actual combat!"
The slaughtered the building and said with a wry smile: "These new troops are afraid that they will collapse at once when facing the Sorensen Thieves! However, if the tactics are appropriate, there is no possibility of a contest!"
Duan Tao nodded, "Old Tu, you will immediately lead 10,000 new troops to Iron City to replace the current public security army!"
"Yes!" The slaughter responded, looking very excited, and the blood of the warrior in his body was boiling.
At this moment, Neuer ran in from outside the door. Neuer was the Siman Imperial Guard officer who had escorted Duan Tao and the others to the "Han". By the way! Duan Tao also has thousands of soldiers of the Imperial Guard here, and these people are all elite soldiers who have experienced a long battle formation!
"Sir, I caught a guy who spreads rumors in the city!" Neuer reported that he immediately ordered someone to escort a man with his hands tied up. The man was dressed in ordinary clothes and obviously belonged to the kind of people living at the bottom of society. This type of guy usually likes to gossip the most and treats some false events as his own experiences and spreads his appearance everywhere. His appearance is a bit obscene.
The man was forced to kneel in front of Duan Tao. The man glanced at Duan Tao with a cold expression, suddenly felt a sudden heart, and quickly kowtowed, "Little, little man, I pay homage to Lord Lord!"
Duan Tao couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "Do you know me?"
The man nodded quickly.
"Very good! Let me ask you, what rumors are you spreading in the city?" Duan Tao asked in a deep voice.
The man quickly defended himself: "Little man, the villain has not spread rumors!"
Duan Tao looked at Neuer Neuer on the side and said, "He said in the city that the Iron City has been captured by the Sorensen Robbers!!"
Everyone was shocked and looked at the man. Duan Tao said in a deep voice: "You have no courage to do this! Tell me, who made you spread rumors!..." He frowned, "Is it Thomas?"
The man said anxiously: "No, no, no! The villain, he heard from others, so he just said to others!"
"Others? What other people?"
The man hurriedly said, "It's a businessman! By the way, he seems to have business dealings with Lord Thomas!"
Duan Tao narrowed his eyes and ordered Neuer: "Take him down and take care of him!" Neuer responded and asked the two guards beside you to drag the man down. "Sir, let go! Let go!..."
"Boss, is what that guy said just now true or false?" Fatty Moron asked worriedly.
Duan Tao frowned and said, "The defenders in the Iron City are all Thomas's confidants! If there is a problem, we don't know! We must immediately understand the real situation of the Iron City! Neuer, you send someone to arrest that merchant for me!..." "Yes! Sir, should you arrest Thomas too?"
Duan Tao thought for a moment, "Send someone to encircle Thomas's palace for me! No one is allowed to enter and exit without permission without the approval of the lord's palace!" "Yes!" Neuer responded and ran out of the lobby.
Duan Tao said to Kaili beside him: "Kelly, you can immediately send a few angels to the Iron City to see the situation! Remember, don't disturb them, just inquire about the situation!" "Yes, master!" Kaili responded and left quickly.
Duan Tao sat down on the top and thought, "It seems that the situation is very complicated! I didn't expect that the first challenge God gave me would come so quickly and so violently!"
"Brother Tao, why don't you ask the prince for help? As the prince who holds great power in the Ximan Empire, he is fully capable of helping you!" Mengduo asked in confusion.
Duan Tao said: "According to the laws of the Heman Empire, the lord can only ask for reinforcements from the Empire when he is completely unable to resist the enemy's attack, and the Empire can send reinforcements! At present, the prince and Princess Xixi are fighting openly and secretly. The prince cannot give the other party a handle that can be used! Moreover, I think even if the prince can give me aid at this time, he may not necessarily give me a help. He seems to want to try my skills! Therefore, this time we can only rely on ourselves!"
Mengduo nodded without understanding.
Duan Tao saw the fat man Moron frowning tightly, and knew that he was upset about his relationship with Princess Xixi again, and didn't know what to say.
On that day, the guards of the lord's mansion suddenly surrounded the residence of Thomas, the territory's treasurer.
Thomas's son Tony rolled and crawled into the backyard, and Thomas was feeding fish leisurely by the pond in the backyard.
"Father, why do you still have the heart to feed the fish?..." Tony looked anxious.
Thomas scolded unhappily: "What are you panic?..." As he said that, he threw the rain in his hand into the pond, and a large group of fish immediately rushed to eat. Thomas smiled proudly when he saw this.
Thomas waved his hand, turned around, glanced at Tony, who was anxious, and asked calmly: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Father, we are surrounded by the lord's men!" Tony hurriedly said.
Thomas was stunned, "What? We are surrounded?" He came back to his senses and said to himself: "Has my actions been discovered by the lord? It shouldn't be possible!"
At this moment, a hustle and bustle came from the front. Thomas looked up and saw more than a dozen guard soldiers walking straight towards this side.
Thomas frowned. Tony, who was beside him, said pale and said, "Father, let's run away quickly!"
Thomas glared at Tony fiercely, and couldn't help but wonder why he had such a useless son.
Thomas greeted him, came to the person who came and sneered, "Who am I? It turns out to be General Neuer! General Neuer, why did you break into my mansion without authorization?"
Neuer took out the lord order given to him by Chen Chu, showed it to Thomas, and said coldly: "I will put all the people here under the order of Lord Lord!"
Hearing this, Thomas's heart burst, but his expression was still the same. "Hmph, I wonder what crime I have committed? Lord Lord will treat me like this!"
Neuer said, "You know what you know! In addition, I will convey an order to you on behalf of Lord Lord!..." Then he took out a document and threw it to Thomas, "You can take a look!"
Neuer said, "You know it yourself! In addition, I will convey an order to you on behalf of the Lord!..." Then he took out a document and threw it to Thomas, "You can see it yourself!" Neuer glanced around and warned: "From this time, everyone here must not leave without the orders of the Lord's Mansion, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!" Thomas and the confidants present were shocked. Yu Luo glanced at Thomas, turned around and left.
After Neuer left, Thomas signaled Tony next to him to pick up the papers on the ground. Tony picked up the papers and saw them, and couldn't help but be shocked.
Thomas said unhappily: "What's going on?"
Tony said in a trembling voice: "Father, you, you have been dismissed by the lord!"
"What?!" Thomas snatched the document and read it quickly. A flush appeared on his old face. Thomas hysterically tore the document into pieces and cursed angrily: "The yellow-haired child is too bullying!!" Tony beside him said in surprise: "Father, you, you ruined the document! If the Lord Lord knows, then...~!"
Thomas glared at Tony and cursed angrily: "Useless thing! How could I give birth to something like you!" Tony was timid and did not dare to speak.
Thomas looked at the direction of the Lord's Mansion and sneered: "It won't take long for this yellow-haired child to know how powerful I am!"
Tony couldn't help but be curious, but was afraid of being scolded by his father, so he held it in.
At the same time, a team of imperial guards broke into a shop near the lord's mansion and took everyone away.
In the evening of that day, there were many discussions in the restaurant and teahouses, and everyone was talking about the rumors that were rampant today and the incident of Thomas being dismissed.
"What's going on? I wonder if the Sorensen thieves really captured the Iron City?" a drunkard said worriedly.
The companion on the side frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's true! Otherwise, how could there be such rumors?" Everyone couldn't help but nodded, and one of them said, "I heard that the Sorensen thieves are all devils who kill without blinking! If they come, we're afraid..." Everyone couldn't help but look pale.
"I wonder if the Lord Lord can solve this problem?" One person couldn't help asking.
The other man shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult! The security army is just a few people, and the lord's new army has not yet become a climate!"
Everyone nodded and said helplessly: "It seems that they can only hide elsewhere for the time being!"
Just as everyone was worried and talking, an imperial guard soldier rode his horse past the street on horseback, shouting: "Don't panic, everyone! One hundred thousand reinforcements from the Eastern Legion are already on the way here! Please stay at home!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and rushed to the window. One of them said happily: "The reinforcements from the Eastern Legion are coming soon! It seems that nothing will happen!" Everyone nodded, and one of them said excitedly: "I have heard that the Lord Lord has a close relationship with His Highness the Prince. It seems that the rumors are true!" Everyone nodded with deep understanding.
