Chapter 126: Minister of War (fourth update)

Seeing boxes of treasure being carried out, everyone looked at them angrily.

Tang Qi walked up quickly, bowed and said, "Sir, everything is here."

Lin Mang slowly opened his eyes and chuckled: "What are you still doing here? Why don't you thank Mr. Hou for your donation."

Everyone turned around and said in unison toward the main hall: "Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

"Lin-Mang!"

The old man in gray shirt gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment.

Too much bullying!

When has the dignified Marquis of Wuqing ever received such an insult?

"puff!"

In a fit of rage, the old man fell backwards and hit the ground heavily.

"gentlemen!"

The guards around him became anxious and surrounded the old man.

Lin Mang stretched out his hand to catch the rain falling from the sky, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "Let's go!"

Lin Mang rode Pixiu slowly out of the gate of Wuqinghou Mansion.

Clothes hunting!

Several corpses were lying upside down at the door, still bleeding, and their frightened heads fell under the stone lions.

In an instant, everyone gathered in the street to watch turned to look at him.

When they saw a group of royal guards walking out carrying boxes after boxes, they all took a breath and were horrified.

From the moment Habayashi Zuoe left, everyone had already made some guesses, but they never expected that this lunatic would be so bold.

Although it's not really a case of ransacking homes and exterminating families, it's still pretty much the same.

madman!

Everyone cursed in their hearts to cover up the fear in their hearts.

The matter of Marquis Wu Qing has not yet been decided in the court, so he can't wait to rush into Marquis Wu Qing's house. If he is not a madman, he is a madman.

Is he really not afraid?

This idea suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.

However, everyone just cursed secretly in their hearts, but no one came forward.

The lineage of Wu Qinghou is in decline, and has long lost its former glory. People in the officialdom are all egoists, so how can they be so powerful?

It's already good without adding insult to injury.

Lin Mang's cold gaze slowly swept over.

For a moment, everyone watching subconsciously withdrew their gaze.

"Ah!"

Lin Mang sneered, patted Pi Xiu, and immediately ran out.

The capital is very big, but also very small.

The news about Wuqinghou Mansion quickly spread throughout the country within an hour.

Nowadays, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the Wuqinghou Mansion. From the moment Lin Mang led his people out of Beizhen Fusi and went to Wuqinghou, all kinds of news have gone viral.

Marquis Wu Qing is gone, but the huge interests possessed by Marquis Wu Qing's mansion have made many people secretly worry about him.

After learning about Lin Mang's actions, everyone who had previously had thoughts on their minds had to temporarily stop their actions.

…

West courtyard, inside Qianhusuo.

Tang Qi came from outside the door and said respectfully: "Sir, we have finished counting."

"The finances cleared from Wu Qinghou's mansion have been accounted for, which amounts to a total of 730,000 taels."

Lin Mang was secretly shocked.

It's really rich.

These are only the calligraphy and painting treasures and cash brought out from the Marquis's mansion, and do not include the land properties, land deeds, and shops.

If we include the land properties, land deeds, and shops, the amount would be at least 1.5 million taels.

Lin Mang put down the list of property in his hand and ordered: "Send all these things to the palace."

Tang Qi was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "Sir, are you all going to be sent to the palace?"

This is a bit inconsistent with the usual style of adults.

Lin Mang took a sip of the tea, looked at Tang Qi, and said meaningfully: "You have to remember that some wealth can be moved, and some wealth cannot be moved."

Do you really think he doesn't want to?

With more than 700,000 taels in front of him, it would be a lie to say that he is not tempted, but if the money is touched, he will be the unlucky one.

What's more, if the money is sent to the palace, that person will only be even more angry.

A prince has more money than the emperor, what does he want to do?

A playful smile appeared on Lin Mang's face.

Tang Qi nodded as if he understood, and said: "I will have him sent to the palace right now."

Lin Mang nodded slightly and asked casually: "By the way, is Jiang Liuyun back?"

Tang Qi couldn't help laughing: "No, even his people don't know where he is now."

He never expected that Deputy Jiang Qianhu would hide.

Lin Mang was slightly startled and surprised, and then ordered: "Let someone go to the Minister of War's house and tell the Minister of War to hand him over."

Tang Qi asked in confusion: "Sir, what if he is not in the Minister of War's residence?"

Lin Mangxian glanced at him and asked, "Is it important?"

Tang Qi suddenly realized: "I understand."

…

In the palace of the Minister of War.

In the hall, Jiang Liuyun kept pacing.

Seeing the figure walking in outside the house, he quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously: "Master Song, how is the situation?"

A middle-aged man wearing a military uniform walked out of the hall, with a fierce face.

This person is Song Luwen, the Minister of War.

Although he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, he does not have much authority in the Ministry of War. There is an old and strong Minister of the Ministry of War above him.

Song Luwen looked gloomy, glanced at Jiang Liuyun, walked to his seat and sat down.

"The situation is very bad!"

"boom!"

As if struck by thunder, Jiang Liuyun's face changed slightly, and he asked hurriedly, "Master Song, what happened?"

Song Luwen pinched his eyebrows and said: "Regarding the matter of Marquis Wu Qing, the Yushitai has reported it many times, but Marquis Wu Qing has left too many clues and evidence in this case, so it is difficult to overturn the case."

The most important thing is that His Majesty does not want to reverse the verdict.

However, the current Marquis of Wu Qing should be under lockdown.

Marquis Wu Qing is dead, but in terms of status, Marquis Wu Qing is still in Wu Qinghou Mansion.

As long as a person is "alive", there is no crime of killing Marquis Wu Qing.

Jiang Liuyun staggered back a few steps and said in a panic: "Sir Song, you must protect me."

"I have listened to what you said."

"Shut up!" Song Luwen shouted coldly, with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Jiang Qianhu, be careful that trouble comes from your mouth."

Jiang Liuyun was shocked, knowing that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly said: "Sir, it was a slip of the tongue."

Song Luwen stood up and said: "There is only one way now, which is to transfer you out of the capital."

"After you leave the West Courtyard, there will naturally be no theft of power."

During this period of time, Jiang Liuyun did a lot of things behind his back, and even went beyond the power of others, and even changed many of the systems established by Lin Mang.

It has always been a taboo in official circles to use one's own services as a substitute.

If you really want to look into it carefully, demotion is inevitable.
