It wasn't until Wang Zhen was dragged out of the announcement room that Emperor Qing's mood eased a little.
Looking at Liu Qi in front of him, he was surprised and happy.
He never expected that Liu Qi would find out such a big thing in just a few days.
What is even more surprising is that the prince himself does not seem to be as simple as originally imagined.
Unlike the emperor, the ministers were only shocked.
Especially Yang Wenyuan.
At first, he just thought that the prince had just tolerated it for many years and suddenly changed his temper.
Now it seems that the prince not only has a palace, but also has extraordinary means.
If such a prince is allowed to ascend to power, the good life of my Yang family will be over.
"explain."
The ministers immediately pricked up their ears, fearing that their names would be mentioned in Liu Qi's mouth next.
"Father, since the treason of Wang Zhen and his son was discovered by my son, can I leave all the final matters to my son to handle it?"
If it were the past, Yang Wenyuan would definitely lead the ministers and speak generously to obstruct the prince's request.
But now, everyone is silent and dare not say a word.
When the emperor is furious, even a small clue will be magnified infinitely.
What's more, these people who came here were all taken by Wang Zhen, that deceitful guy.
Who dares to stand up and oppose? It’s great to be able to protect yourself.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you to handle it. Then report to me when you're done."
"Thank you, Father!"
Emperor Qing rubbed his aching head.
"I'm tired, you all should leave."
...
As soon as Liu Qi left the palace gate, he saw Wei Qin coming over with an anxious look on his face.
"Your Highness..."
Qin Wei was really shocked.
He did not expect that Liu Qi, who was summoned by the emperor to interrogate the crime, would actually walk out in such a grand manner.
"Let's go, let's go with this king to do something important."
"okay."
Previously, Wei Qin often heard people say that the prince was a playful, lustful and incompetent person.
But I found out from these two days of contact.
Such a description has nothing to do with him at all.
The prince is not only ruthless, but also often does things beyond what others expect.
Until now, Wei Qin still didn't understand what kind of person the prince was.
Just as Qin Wei thought.
The prince first arrived at Tingwei and summoned a group of guards.
Immediately afterwards, they led a large number of people to Wang Zhen's residence.
"Everyone, including the servants, will be captured by the king, and all belongings will be moved to the center of the courtyard."
"Here!"
After responding, the guards began to take action, and for a while, the whole palace was shouting.
Qin Wei, who was standing aside, was completely confused.
He didn't understand at all why the Wang family suddenly ended up like this.
Especially when I heard someone from Tingwei yelling that what the Wang family had committed was a serious crime of treason.
Seeing Wei Qin's confused look, Liu Qi chuckled lightly.
"Do you feel a little surprised?"
After Qin Wei hesitated for a few seconds, he nodded heavily.
"There's nothing surprising. These are all what the Huns you captured this afternoon told me."
Hearing this, Wei Qin suddenly realized. Only then did he realize that step by step, the prince had already had a plan.
In less than a day, a major treason case was discovered. This prince is so powerful.
At this point, Qin Wei looked at Liu Qi again, with a little more awe in his eyes.
After a while, many people were pulled out of the room, including many crying children.
Looking at these young faces, Qin Wei was suddenly shocked.
"Your Highness, do they want to arrest them too? These are all children!"
Liu Qi laughed coldly.
"What's wrong with the child? Will the child not grow up? Will they forget what happened today because of the changes in time?"
"Qin Wei, people can be kind, but never let yourself fall into a bad situation because of your kindness."
At this time, Wei Qin could not see a trace of mercy on Liu Qi's face, as if this was a very common thing.
Everyone says that the most ruthless emperor's family is.
Wei Qin now understood that in the eyes of the royal family, there were only pros and cons, not right or wrong.
"Your Highness, all the members of the royal family, including young and old, have been arrested. There are 368 people in total."
"Okay, let's all go to prison. How is the financial accounting going?"
"Still under search."
Liu Qi nodded, and then asked Qin Wei to pull up a chair and sit at the door of the lobby majestically.
Four hours later.
"Your Highness, the Wang family's property has been inventoried."
Liu Qi slowly opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him made him startled.
"Your Highness, the Wangfu family has found money totaling 4.86 million taels, and more than 120 pieces of utensils, calligraphy and paintings. As for the furniture, we have not yet conducted a detailed inspection."
I am a good boy, a small minister, with an annual salary of only one hundred and eighty taels.
Four million eight hundred and sixty thousand taels! This is how much people's fat and oil have been plundered, and how many innocent officers and soldiers died tragically, in exchange for generous salaries.
If these rare antiques, calligraphy and paintings were sold off, the price would probably be more than six million taels.
These damn officials spend all day in the court shouting that the country has no money, but they are all extremely rich.
It is unimaginable that if it were not Wang Zhen but Yang Wenyuan who was seized today, these properties would probably be dozens of times larger.
"Your Highness, these belongings..."
After Liu Qi got up, he walked around these belongings.
"Let them all be moved to the king's palace, and the property of other officials involved should also be dealt with in the same way."
After hearing what Liu Qi said, the faces of Tingwei officials suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Your Highness, this...this seems inconsistent..."
"Um?"
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Qi gave him a cold look.
Seeing that the prince looked unkind, how could the officials dare to question him any more.
"I obey my orders!"
Liu Qi smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Qin Wei walked up to him, looking like he suddenly realized something.
"Your Highness, I am truly filled with admiration for you."
"Oh? What do you say?"
"In just a few days, you have collected so much money. In the future, the money and food for the expedition against the Huns will be available so easily."
But what surprised Qin Wei was that Liu Qi smiled slightly and then shook his head.
"Is it a lot? It's just a few million taels. Where is this?"
Hearing this, Qin Wei was shocked. To him, the money was nothing more than an astronomical figure.
But whether it was in Liu Qi's mouth or in his eyes, it was as if the money was not in his eyes at all.
"Okay, stop thinking about it, go back and have a good sleep. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to do the second important thing."
