Chapter 98 Taking Action Against King Liuyun
Qin Wu and his two companions waited for a full two hours.
Qi Ye returned to the hall.
"Your Highness, we've finished copying it, but there's too much stuff, and we're afraid we won't be able to finish counting it all in a short time."
Qi Ye reported this to Qin Wu.
"A lot? How many?"
Qin Wu inquired.
"The total value of the items used is estimated to be tens of millions of taels of silver."
Qi Ye said.
He hadn't expected the Yong'an Marquis's mansion to be so wealthy.
This is still not a complete inventory or valuation.
"Yes, remember to send my cousin's dowry to the palace. Oh, and send the divorce papers to the government office for registration. Tell them it's my decision. If the government has any problems, tell them to come to me."
"Your Highness, Cousin, let's go back to the manor. It's almost lunchtime."
After giving his instructions, Qin Wu got up and left with Jiang Pingle and the others.
Before long, news of the Yong'an Marquis's residence spread throughout the entire capital.
Everyone knows that the Divine Martial King ordered the confiscation of the Marquis of Anding's estate.
However, no one knew what exactly the Yong'an Marquis's family had done wrong.
Why did the Divine Martial King raid the Yong'an Marquis's mansion?
Moreover, this raid was so sudden, there was absolutely no warning.
This question lingered for several days.
Many ministers in the court even hoped that Qin Wu would provide a reasonable explanation during the morning court session.
After all, it was a noble family's residence, not some insignificant nobody. It was impossible for their property to be confiscated without any explanation.
As a result, Qin Wu ignored them completely, and they couldn't do anything about it.
After several unsuccessful attempts to appeal, they had no choice but to give up.
Waiting for the final result.
It wasn't until half a month later that Qin Wu received a message from Liu Qiu.
The private army of King Liuyun has been dealt with.
Qin Wucai then gave all the ministers an explanation.
The Marquis of Yong'an was guilty of a series of serious crimes, including embezzlement, disregard for human ethics, forming cliques for personal gain, and plotting rebellion.
They directly exposed all of Yong'an Marquis's crimes to the public.
Qin Wu even presented all the evidence directly in the imperial court.
Furthermore, the wealth obtained from the confiscation of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion shocked the entire imperial court.
The total value of everything was over 100 million taels of silver, making it arguably the most confiscated estate of a marquis's family since the founding of the Eastern Qin Kingdom.
This was after Qin Wu secretly intercepted a lot of good things.
When the Emperor of Dongqin saw these things, he was completely unable to suppress his anger. If a low-ranking marquis's mansion could be confiscated so much property, wouldn't the powerful marquis's mansions, or even the duke's mansions, have even more abundant property?
This has led the Emperor of Eastern Qin to consider confiscating all the mansions of marquises and dukes.
Another half month has passed.
Liu Qiu led his men to escort hundreds of horse-drawn carts back fully loaded.
The scene shocked everyone in the capital.
The fact that Liu Qiu suddenly returned with so many things left everyone puzzled as to where they came from.
After returning to the capital, Liu Qiu went directly to the Shenwu Prince's Mansion to report back to Qin Wu.
"Your Highness, your subordinates have confiscated the property of the Liuyun Prince's Mansion and all the officials and noble families involved. A total of over ten thousand people have been executed in this operation."
Liu Qiu reported this.
He then handed a list to Qin Wu.
"Very good, you did well this time. Go and get some rest!"
Qin Wu set the list aside and then dismissed Liu Qiu.
Next, he would have to personally take action to eliminate the Flowing Cloud King.
"Someone, spread the word to surround the Liuyun Prince's Mansion."
Qin Wu gave instructions to the guards outside the door.
As soon as Qin Wu issued his order, the Liuyun Royal Palace was surrounded by the army.
The news quickly spread throughout the capital.
Even the Imperial Clan Court's Imperial Clan Commander rushed over.
"Divine Martial King, what's going on? Why are you suddenly surrounding the Flowing Cloud Royal Palace?"
The Imperial Clan Court official stepped forward to inquire.
"Is the Imperial Clan Court in charge of this matter?"
Qin Wu glanced coldly at the Imperial Clan Order.
This old man does nothing normally, but he always likes to point fingers and criticize.
He had been dissatisfied with this for a long time.
I never expected to see them here again today.
“God Martial King, even if you have the power of regent, King Liuyun is a prince, and you have no right to surround the Liuyun Prince’s Mansion.”
The Imperial Clan Leader was surprised that Qin Wu showed him no respect whatsoever.
You should know that he is now the most senior member of the royal family, and even the Emperor of Dongqin has to give him some face.
"I am not qualified? I advise the Imperial Clan Commander to mind his own business, so that he may live longer."
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if someone suddenly died."
"Step aside."
Qin Wu said coldly.
He then waved his hand to push aside the Imperial Clan Order and led his men directly into the Liuyun Prince's Mansion.
This infuriated the Imperial Clan Court Official.
"You wretched child, you wretched child!"
The Imperial Clan Commander roared angrily.
He then led his men into the Liuyun Prince's Mansion.
The Liuyun Prince's Mansion is now completely under Qin Wu's control, and even the Liuyun Prince's secret guards have all defected to Qin Wu.
"Qin Wu, what exactly are you trying to do? How dare you take control of my royal residence?"
As soon as Qin Wu entered the main hall, he was greeted by a furious roar.
"What are you doing? King Liuyun, do you need me to tell you everything you've done?"
Qin Wu sat down in the main seat.
He said it in a nonchalant tone, with an air of utter disdain.
Upon hearing Qin Wu's words, King Liuyun instantly felt a sense of foreboding.
He wondered to himself, "Could it be that Qin Wu has discovered something?"
But recent news has been that everything is normal. He never imagined that it was his own bodyguards who had tampered with things.
This kept him completely unaware of the true situation outside.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I've only played around with a few women."
"What, is playing around with women some kind of serious crime?"
After calming himself down, King Liuyun said nonchalantly.
He didn't believe Qin Wu could find anything.
He had made arrangements long ago; all his people were hidden during this period.
Even if Qin Wu sent people to investigate, they wouldn't find anything.
"Just playing around with women? Do you think that just because you notified Liuyun City, I won't be able to find out anything?"
Qin Wu sneered.
Upon hearing the name Liuyun City, King Liuyun could no longer remain calm.
He didn't expect that Qin Wu would actually send someone to Liuyun City.
Moreover, Qin Wu's expression strongly suggests that he has discovered something.
"What a joke! Even if you send people to Liuyun City, so what? Everyone in Liuyun City knows that I only play around with women and have never done anything else."
"How can this be illegal? Even if it is illegal, His Majesty would only reprimand me for such a trivial matter."
"I am trying to appear calm," said Liu Yunwang, trying to sound composed.
No matter what, he needs to stay calm. As long as Qin Wu can't produce any evidence, there's nothing he can do about it.
"Good attitude, but take a good look at what these are."
After Qin Wu finished speaking, he waved to the outside of the hall.
Immediately, soldiers carried several boxes into the hall.
"King Liuyun, why don't you open it and take a look yourself?"
Qin Wu smiled and glanced at King Liuyun.
As Liu Yunwang looked at the boxes being carried in, his bad premonition grew stronger.
He felt that the box might contain something that could kill him.
"What? King Liuyun, are you afraid to look?"
Qin Wu revealed a mocking smile and glanced at King Liuyun.
